Entomopathogenic fungi, with their eco-friendly nature, have emerged as promising biocontrol agents for pest management. This study explores the entomopathogenic potential of various isolates, including Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Rhizomucor spp., Fusarium spp., and Aspergillus terreus, obtained from soil and plant debris. Confirming their entomopathogenic properties through morphological characteristics, the study aligns with previous research findings on Fusarium spp. and Aspergillus sp. isolation from diverse sources. In entomopathogenic assays against the Beans Weevil, all tested isolates exhibited efficacy, with Rhizomucor spp. demonstrating rapid and sustained mortality rates, reaching 100% within the initial day. Fusarium spp. displayed a cumulative impact, reaching full efficacy by the fourth day. Aspergillus terreus and Aspergillus flavus exhibited robust potential, achieving 100% mortality by the fourth day, while Aspergillus niger displayed slightly delayed onset but reached full efficacy by the third day. These results parallel findings on the effectiveness of Aspergillus species against various insects. Comparative analysis against conventional insecticides revealed entomopathogenic fungi’s superior efficacy, with faster mortality rates than different concentrations of the insecticide. The water control group exhibited a gradual weevil mortality rate, emphasizing the natural course of mortality. The insecticide treatments, even at lower concentrations, consistently outperformed the water control group, highlighting the nuanced relationship between insecticide concentration and efficacy.

Bir toplumu var eden, onu yüksek kültür seviyesine çıkaran önemli unsurlardan biri hiç şüphesiz sanatıdır. Toplum kimi zaman sanatı aracılığıyla düşüncelerini ifade ederken kimi zaman da sanatıyla hüznünü, sevincini ifade eder. Yine şairler şiirlerini yazarken mısralarına duygularını serpiştirir. Bu bazen bir şairin dilinden dökülen hakikatin kendisi bazen de sevgiliye olan özlemin sonucunda olan sitemidir. Klasik Türk edebiyatında şiirin malzemesi olan pek çok sanat alanı vardır. Bunlardan biri de dönemin sosyal yaşamını yansıtan adeta bulunduğu yüzyılın sesi olan müzik aletleridir. Müzik aletleri şairin duygu ve düşüncesini yansıtmada bir vasıtayken aynı zamanda yaşanılan dönemin sosyal yaşantısı hakkında da ipuçları vermektedir. Divanda kullanılan müzik aletleri, sevgiliden ayrı olan âşığın güçsüz bedenini veya bulunduğu ruh halini yansıtmasında bir ayna konumundadır. Bazı müzik aletlerinin şekli veya yapılışı daha çok âşığa benzetilmiştir. Bu duruma en iyi örnek ney’dir. Kamıştan yapılmış ney’in deliklerinin açılmasında kızgın demirin kullanılması ile âşığın gönlü arasında ilgi kurulur. Def’in ise her ne kadar vurularak çalınmasından dolayı matemin gizli yeri olan âşığın yaralı göğsü olarak düşünülmesi yine âşığın hâline benzetilen hususlardan olmuştur. Bu çalışma 16. yüzyılın Gelibolulu Sürûrî Divanı’nda bulunan müzik aletlerini içermektedir. Şair kullanmış olduğu çârpare, çeng, def, nefir, ney, tabl, tanbur, saz gibi musiki aletlerini âşık, sevgili, âşığın perişanlığı, âşığın gönlü vs. unsuları üzerinden ele almıştır. Çalışmamızda müzik aletleri üzerinden örnek verilen beyitlerin hem dil içi çevrileri hem de altında yatan anlam dünyası hakkında yorumlar yer almaktadır.

Published: September 2024

Introdução: A blefaroplastia, uma das cirurgias estéticas mais comuns realizadas na atualidade, envolve a remoção de excesso de pele, gordura e, ocasionalmente, músculos das pálpebras superiores e inferiores para melhorar a aparência dos olhos e rejuvenescer a região periorbital. Embora seja amplamente segura, a blefaroplastia está associada a uma série de complicações pós-operatórias, que incluem infecções, cicatrizes anômalas, assimetrias, desconforto ocular e alterações visuais. Essas complicações, embora raras, podem comprometer significativamente os resultados estéticos e funcionais da cirurgia, tornando-se um desafio tanto para o cirurgião quanto para o paciente. A correta gestão dessas complicações, portanto, é essencial para garantir um resultado satisfatório, o que exige uma compreensão aprofundada dos fatores de risco, das técnicas de manejo e das abordagens terapêuticas disponíveis. Objetivo: O objetivo desta revisão sistemática de literatura foi analisar e sintetizar as evidências científicas disponíveis sobre as complicações e o manejo pós-operatório em blefaroplastia, a fim de fornecer diretrizes práticas para otimizar os resultados cirúrgicos e reduzir a incidência de complicações. Metodologia: A metodologia seguiu as diretrizes do checklist PRISMA, utilizando as bases de dados PubMed, Scielo e Web of Science para a coleta de artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos. Os descritores utilizados incluíram "blefaroplastia", "complicações pós-operatórias", "cicatrização", "manejo pós-operatório" e "infecções oculares". Os critérios de inclusão abrangeram estudos que abordaram complicações específicas de blefaroplastia, artigos publicados em revistas revisadas por pares e estudos realizados em humanos. Foram excluídos artigos duplicados, estudos com menos de 10 pacientes e revisões que não apresentaram dados originais. Resultados: Os resultados desta revisão indicaram que as complicações mais frequentes incluíram a cicatrização anômala, desconforto ocular e secura ocular, e infecções. As evidências sugeriram que a intervenção precoce e o manejo adequado são cruciais para minimizar os impactos negativos dessas complicações. Técnicas como o uso de colírios lubrificantes, corticosteroides tópicos, e a monitorização rigorosa de sinais de infecção foram destacadas como estratégias eficazes. Conclusão: A revisão demonstrou que, embora a blefaroplastia seja um procedimento seguro, o sucesso a longo prazo depende do manejo cuidadoso das complicações pós-operatórias. A aplicação de medidas preventivas e terapêuticas adequadas é essencial para assegurar resultados estéticos e funcionais satisfatórios, conforme sustentado por diversas evidências científicas.
Parametric model for post-processing visibility ensemble forecasts
Authors: Baran Ágnes , Baran Sándor
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Although, by now, ensemble-based probabilistic forecasting is the most advanced approach to weather prediction, ensemble forecasts still suffer from a lack of calibration and/or display systematic bias, thus requiring some post-processing to improve their forecast skill. Here, we focus on visibility, a weather quantity that plays a crucial role in, for example, aviation and road safety or ship navigation, and we propose a parametric model where the predictive distribution is a mixture of a gamma and a truncated normal distribution, both right censored at the maximal reported visibility value. The new model is evaluated in two case studies based on visibility ensemble forecasts of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts covering two distinct domains in central and western Europe and two different time periods. The results of the case studies indicate that post-processed forecasts are substantially superior to raw ensembles; moreover, the proposed mixture model consistently outperforms the Bayesian model averaging approach used as a reference post-processing technique.
Seasonal and inter-annual variability of carbon fluxes in southern Africa seen by GOSAT
Authors: Metz Eva-Marie , Vardag Sanam Noreen , Basu Sourish , Jung Martin , Butz André
Published: September 2024

Abstract. The inter-annual variability of the global carbon sink is heavily influenced by semi-arid regions. Southern hemispheric Africa has large semi-arid and arid regions. However, there is only a sparse coverage of in situ CO2 measurements on the southern hemisphere. This leads to uncertainties in measurement-based carbon flux estimates for these regions. Also, dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) show large inconsistencies in semi-arid regions. Satellite CO2 measurements offer a spatially extensive and independent source of information about the southern African carbon cycle. We examine Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) CO2 concentration measurements from 2009 to 2018 in southern Africa. We infer CO2 land-atmosphere fluxes which are consistent with the GOSAT measurements using the atmospheric inversion system TM5-4DVar. We find systematic differences between these satellite-based carbon fluxes and atmospheric inversions based on in situ measurements pointing towards a limited measurement information content in the latter. We use the GOSAT based fluxes and additionally Solar Induced Fluorescence (SIF), a proxy for photosynthesis, as atmospheric constraints to select DGVMs of the TRENDYv9 ensemble which show compatible fluxes. The selected DGVMs allow for studying the vegetation processes driving the southern African carbon cycle. We show that the variability of photosynthetic uptake mainly drives the inter-annual variability of the southern African carbon fluxes. The seasonal cycle, however, is substantially influenced by enhanced soil respiration due to soil rewetting at the beginning of the rainy season. The latter result emphasizes the importance of correctly representing the response of semi-arid ecosystems to soil rewetting in DGVMs.

Abstract. Droughts in Europe are becoming increasingly frequent and severe, with the 2022 drought surpassing previous records and causing widespread socio-economic impacts. This study employs a Europe-wide survey that integrates data from 481 respondents from 30 European countries, involved in the management of the 2022 European drought, together with hydroclimatic data (i.e., Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index; SPEI), to provide a holistic assessment of the effect of drought preparedness on response effectiveness and timeliness during the 2022 drought through statistical methods. It specifically assesses the role of forecasting systems and Drought Management Plans (DMPs) in improving preparedness and in facilitating more effective and timely responses. Additionally, the study investigates how drought management practices and awareness have evolved as a consequence of the 2018 European drought and how recent experiences shape water managers’ perceptions. The findings emphasize the urgent need for a standardized, continent-wide drought risk management coordination to address the multifaceted nature of drought risk by integrating climatic and societal factors, and advocates for a Drought Directive as a means to achieve it. This research aims to inform policy development towards sustainable and holistic drought risk management, highlighting the crucial roles of preparedness, awareness, and adaptive strategies in mitigating future drought impacts. This study and its companion paper The 2022 Drought Needs to be a Turning Point for European Drought Risk Management are the result of a study carried out by the Drought in the Anthropocene (DitA) network.
Advancing interpretation of incoherent scattering in ice penetrating radar data used for ice core site selection
Authors: Mutter Ellen Lucinda , Holschuh Nicholas
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Below the coherent layering in ice penetrating radar data collected in Antarctica and Greenland, incoherent scattering is common. This scattering is signal, not noise, and has the potential to inform our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the bottom 20 % of glaciers and ice sheets. Here, we present a comparison between radar imagery and ice core properties for sixteen ice core sites across Antarctica and Greenland, to identify possible sources for incoherent scattering and evaluate its use in ice core site selection. We find that incoherent scattering is commonly coincident with either gradual changes in crystal orientation fabric or rapidly fluctuating fabrics in deep ice, where strain is localized by strength differences associated with ice grain size. Macro-scale deformation and layer folding at scales below the range-resolution of radar does not seem to result in incoherent scattering or induce an echo free zone, as has been previously hypothesized. Where incoherent scattering is laterally homogeneous in intensity, layering is typically undisturbed in nearby ice cores. But where incoherent scattering is laterally heterogeneous in intensity and the trace of intensity maxima does not appear conformal with subglacial topography, we find multi-meter-scale folding and associated discontinuities in nearby ice core records. Future, higher-resolution sampling of fabric in ice cores would allow for more quantitative interpretation of incoherent scattering and its amplitude, but we show that the qualitative nature of incoherent scattering has the potential to inform us about the continuity of climate records at prospective ice core sites and should be considered when evaluating the nature and quality of basal ice.
Improved permafrost modeling in mountain environments by including air convection in a hydrological model
Authors: Zegers Gerardo , Hayashi Masaki , Pérez-Illanes Rodrigo
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Permafrost occurrence in mountainous regions is influenced by complex topography and surficial geology, leading to high spatial heterogeneity. Coarse sediments create a unique thermal regime that allows permafrost to persist even under positive mean annual air temperatures due to natural convection lowering ground temperatures. Although this process has been recognized as a key factor in explaining the persistence of permafrost formation within coarse sediments, studies assessing the impact of natural convection on ground temperatures and permafrost are limited, partly due to the absence of hydrological models that take this process into account. This article expands on a well-established hydrological model to incorporate the effects of natural air convection on heat transfer. The modified model includes airflow through Darcy’s equation and the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation to account for density-driven buoyancy effects, as well as a heat advection-conduction equation for the air phase without assuming local thermal equilibrium between the air and the other phases. The model was tested on a talus slope in the Canadian Rockies, where conventional models failed to represent field-based evidence of permafrost. The results revealed that coarse-size sediments can lower ground temperatures by several degrees when natural convection is considered. Additionally, the study demonstrated that the local thermal equilibrium approach hinders the impact of natural convection. This enhanced model improves our understanding of permafrost dynamics in alpine landforms and enables a more accurate analysis of permafrost extent and its influence on groundwater discharges.

Island electricity systems aim to adapt to the environmental expectations established by the European framework. For this reason, it is necessary to increase efforts to increase the penetration of renewables and optimize energy production. An extensive preliminary research study has been carried out on the current production system, its variables and its conditioning factors, with which a series of operating alternatives have been obtained that will optimize the energy production system through combustion technology (non-renewables) and combine them with the production of energy through renewable sources. renewables, complying both in dynamic response, security, scaling and integration with such systems, in terms of efficiency and power. The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the penetration of these renewable energies in the island's electricity systems will be increased.
As has been proven in the research background, the usually established combination of power producing equipment is not the best to reduce pollution, and there are other possible combinations with better results. The study methodology followed leads to take measures based on: a) changing the type of fuel in the equipment that allows it, b) using the combination of less pollutant producing equipment with response capacity and c) considering the integration and incorporation of the pumped hydroelectric electric storage plant (PHES) "Chira-Soria" into Gran Canaria's electrical system. The different measures contribute to the improvement in the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) in a convincing way.

This article describes the design of a Remote Laboratory (LR) for nuclear measurements. The use of LR is presented as an opportunity since it allows the process of manipulation and characterization of irradiated samples, as is common in experimentation, to be replicated more times than in a Traditional Laboratory (LT). The rapid technological development in the demanding and changing work environment and the difficult access or availability on the part of students to the infrastructure necessary to carry out specific practices, among other reasons, make it necessary to incorporate these new tools to facilitate the learning of the technology.
The research and development presented here are being carried out in the RA-4 experimental reactor of the Institute of Nuclear Studies and Ionizing Radiations (IENRI) of Argentina, which will allow us to carry out student practices at any time, without having to the three people with the corresponding authorizations for handling the irradiated samples must be present: the reactor manager, an operator, and a radioprotection officer. Considering also that the sources to irradiate are scarce and the instrumentation is expensive.

Published: September 2024

To address the heavy pollution caused by paper sludge, this study investigates a novel approach by incorporating paper sludge into magnesium oxychloride cement to develop a new type of concrete composite material. To achieve waste utilisation, cost savings and pollution reduction, the impact dynamics properties of the concrete specimens were conducted using an electromagnetically driven Hopkinson pressure bar, while a high-speed camera recorded the specimen destruction process, stress-strain curve, destruction morphology, deformation field, and evolution of energy consumption. Results show that as the paper sludge doping increases, the peak stress of the stress-strain curve and the energy consumption gradually increase. Increasing the voltage leads to a gradual rise in peak stress and energy consumption of the specimen. During the impact test, the transverse fissures gradually are developed in the test block, and as the impact stress increases, the fissures are widened until the specimen eventually being fractured. Moreover, the higher impact voltage and paper sludge content result in the increased specimen displacement and strain. It is expected that nearly 50% of paper sludge will be recycled every year by this method, which will save 10%-20% of raw materials. The conclusions obtained in this study provide a reference for the engineering application of the paper sludge concrete composites.

Synthesis and Characterization of Ethanol Extract Nanoherb of Tapak Liman Leaves (Elephantopus scaber Linn.) by Ionic Gelation Method
Authors: Aisyah Putri , Sutoyo Suyatno
Published: September 2024

Tapak Liman (Elephantopus scaber) is a plant that has been used by Indonesian people as a traditional medicine to treat diarrhea, fever, malaria, and coughs. Tapak Liman leaves contain compounds of flavonoids, phenols, and saponins. However, these phytochemical compounds exhibit low bioavailability properties. Therefore, a technology that can improve their bioavailability is needed. One approach is through the synthesis of Tapak Liman nanoparticles via the ionic gelation method using alginate and CaCl2. This study aims to determine the content of Tapak Liman leaves, synthesize nanoherb from its ethanol extract using alginate and CaCl2, and determine the nanoherb’s particle size and zeta potential. Nanoherbs were synthesized through the ionic gelation method using alginate and CaCl2 with concentrations of sodium alginate at 0.15% w/v; 0.10% w/v; and 0.05% w/v; while the concentration of CaCl2 was at 0.01% w/v. Particle size characterization was performed on all three formulations to identify the optimal one for further zeta potential characterization. The results showed that Tapak Liman leaves contain saponins, triterpenoids, tannins, and phenolics. The optimal formulation for synthesizing ethanol extract nanoherb of Tapak Liman leaves is sodium alginate 0.05% w/v and CaCl2 0.01% w/v, resulting in a nanoherb with a particle size of 184.7 nm, a volume percentage of 51.1%, a polydispersity index of 0.370, and a zeta potential of 19.2 mV.
