Published: January 2022

Abstract. Doppler wind lidars (DWLs) have increasingly been used over the last decade to derive the mean wind in the atmospheric boundary layer. DWLs allow the determination of wind vector profiles with high vertical resolution and provide an alternative to classic meteorological tower observations. They also receive signals from higher altitudes than a tower and can be set up flexibly in any power-supplied location. In this work, we address the question of whether and how wind gusts can be derived from DWL observations. The characterization of wind gusts is one central goal of the Field Experiment on Sub-Mesoscale Spatio-Temporal Variability in Lindenberg (FESSTVaL). Obtaining wind gusts from a DWL is not trivial because a monostatic DWL provides only a radial velocity per line-of-sight, i.e., only one component of a three-dimensional vector, and measurements in at least three linearly independent directions are required to derive the wind vector. Performing them sequentially limits the achievable time resolution, while wind gusts are short-lived phenomena. This study compares different DWL configurations in terms of their potential to derive wind gusts. For this purpose, we develop a new wind retrieval method that is applicable to different scanning configurations and various time resolutions. We test eight configurations with StreamLine DWL systems from Halo Photonics and evaluate gust peaks and mean wind over 10 minutes at 90 m a.g.l. against a sonic anemometer at the meteorological tower in Falkenberg, Germany. The best performing configuration for retrieving wind gusts proves to be a fast continuous scanning mode (CSM) that completes a full observation cycle within 3.4 s. During this time interval, about eleven radial Doppler velocities are measured, which are then used to retrieve single gusts. The fast CSM configuration was successfully operated over a three-month period in summer 2020. The CSM paired with our new retrieval technique provides gust peaks that compare well to classic sonic anemometer measurements from the meteorological tower.

Published: January 2022

Abstract. The magnetotail earthward fast flow bursts can transport most of the magnetic flux and energy into the inner magnetosphere. These fast flow bursts are generally an order of magnitude higher than the typical convection speeds, that are azimuthally localized (1–3RE) and are flanked by plasma vortices which map to ionospheric plasma vortices of the same sense of rotation. This study uses multipoint analysis of conjugate magnetospheric and ionospheric observations to investigate the magnetospheric and ionospheric responses to the fast flow bursts that are associated with both substorms and pseudobreakups. We study in detail what properties control the differences in the magnetosphere-ionosphere responses between substorm and pseudobreakup conditions, and how such differences lead to the different ionospheric responses. The fast flow bursts and pseudobreakup events were observed by the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interaction during Substorms (THEMIS), when the satellites were at least 6RE from the Earth in radial distance, and a magnetic local time (MLT) region of ±5 hours from local midnight. The results show that the magnetosphere and ionosphere response to substorm fast flow bursts are much stronger and more structured compared to pseudobreakups, which is more likely to be localized, transient, and weak in the magnetosphere. The magnetic flux in the tail is much stronger for strong substorms and much weaker for pseudobreakup events. The Blobe decreases significantly for substorm fast flow bursts compared to pseudobreakup events. The curvature force density for pseudobreakups are much smaller than substorm fast flow events, indicating that the pseudobreakups may not be able to penetrate deep into the inner magnetosphere. This association can help us study the properties and activity of the magnetospheric earthward flow vortices from ground data.

Abstract. Arctic tundra is facing unprecedented warming, resulting in shifts in the vegetation, thaw regimes, and potentially in the ecosystem-atmosphere exchange of carbon (C). The estimates of regional carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) budgets, however, are highly uncertain. We measured CO2 and CH4 fluxes, vegetation composition and leaf area index (LAI), thaw depth, and soil wetness in Tiksi (71° N, 128° E), a heterogeneous site located within the prostrate dwarf-shrub tundra zone in northeastern Siberia. Using the closed chamber method, we determined net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2, dark ecosystem respiration (ER), ecosystem gross photosynthesis (Pg), and CH4 fluxes during the growing season. We applied a previously developed high-spatial-resolution land-cover map over an m area of 35.8 km2. Among the land-cover types varying from barrens to dwarf-shrub tundra and tundra wetlands, the light-saturated NEE and Pg scaled with the LAI of vascular plants. Thus, the graminoid-dominated tundra wetlands, with high LAI and the deepest thaw depth, had the highest light-saturated NEE and Pg (up to −21 (uptake) and 28 mmol m−2 h−1, respectively) and were disproportionately important for the summertime CO2 sequestration on a landscape scale. Dry tundra, including the dwarf-shrub-dominated vegetation and only sparsely vegetated lichen tundra, had only small CO2 exchange rates. While tundra wetlands were sources of CH4, lichen tundra, including bare ground habitats, consumed atmospheric CH4 at a substantial rate. On a landscape scale, the consumption by lichen tundra and barrens could offset ca. 10 % of the CH4 emissions. We acknowledge the uncertainty involved in spatial extrapolations due to a small number of replicates per land-cover type. This study, however, highlights the need for distinguishing different land-cover types including the dry tundra habitats to account for their consumption of the atmospheric CH4 when estimating tundra C-exchange on a larger spatial scale.
Characterization of the Atlantic Water and Levantine Intermediate Water in the Mediterranean Sea using 20 years of Argo data
Authors: Fedele Giusy , Mauri Elena , Notarstefano Giulio , Poulain Pierre Marie
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Atlantic Water (AW) and Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) are important
water masses that play a crucial role in the internal variability of the
Mediterranean thermohaline circulation. To be more specific, their variability and
interaction, along with other water masses that characterize the
Mediterranean basin, such as the Western Mediterranean Deep Water (WMDW),
contribute to modify the Mediterranean Outflow through the Strait of Gibraltar,
and hence they may influence the stability of the global thermohaline
circulation. This work aims to characterize AW and LIW in the Mediterranean Sea,
taking advantage of the large observational dataset (freely available on
https://argo.ucsd.edu, https://www.ocean-ops.org, last access: 17 January 2022; Wong et al., 2020) provided by Argo floats
from 2001 to 2019. AW and LIW were
identified using different diagnostic methods, highlighting the inter-basin variability and the strong zonal
gradient that both denote the two water masses in this marginal sea. Their
temporal variability was also investigated over the last 2 decades,
providing a more robust view of AW and LIW characteristics, which have only been investigated using
very short periods in
previous studies due to a lack of data. A clear salinification and warming trend characterize AW and LIW over the
last 2 decades (∼ 0.007 ± 0.140 and 0.006 ± 0.038 yr−1; 0.026 ± 0.715 and 0.022 ± 0.232 ∘C yr−1,
respectively). The salinity and temperature trends found at sub-basin scale
are in good agreement with previous results. The strongest trends are found
in the Adriatic basin in the properties of both AW and LIW.

Published: January 2022

Abstract. We report on results of an intercomparison of 10 global sea-ice
concentration (SIC) data products at 12.5 to 50.0 km grid resolution from
satellite passive microwave (PMW) observations. For this we use SIC
estimated from >350 images acquired in the visible–near-infrared frequency range by the joint National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) and United States Geological Survey (USGS) Landsat sensor
during the years 2003–2011 and 2013–2015. Conditions covered are late winter/early spring in the Northern Hemisphere and from late winter through fall
freeze-up in the Southern Hemisphere. Among the products investigated are
the four products of the European Organisation for the Exploitation of
Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application
Facility (OSI SAF) and European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative
(CCI) algorithms SICCI-2 and OSI-450. We stress the importance to consider
intercomparison results across the entire SIC range instead of focusing on
overall mean differences and to take into account known biases in PMW SIC
products, e.g., for thin ice. We find superior linear agreement between PMW
SIC and Landsat SIC for the 25 and the 50 km SICCI-2 products in both
hemispheres. We discuss quantitatively various uncertainty sources of the
evaluation carried out. First, depending on the number of mixed ocean–ice
Landsat pixels classified erroneously as ice only, our Landsat SIC is found
to be biased high. This applies to some of our Southern Hemisphere data,
promotes an overly large fraction of Landsat SIC underestimation by PMW SIC
products, and renders PMW SIC products overestimating Landsat SIC
particularly problematic. Secondly, our main results are based on SIC data
truncated to the range 0 % to 100 %. We demonstrate using
non-truncated SIC values, where possible, can considerably improve linear
agreement between PMW and Landsat SIC. Thirdly, we investigate the impact of
filters often used to clean up the final products from spurious SIC over
open water due to weather effects and along coastlines due to land
spillover. Benefiting from the possibility to switch on or off certain
filters in the SICCI-2 and OSI-450 products, we quantify the impact land
spillover filtering can have on evaluation results as shown in this paper.

Abstract. Cosmic rays entering the Earth’s atmosphere produce showers of secondary particles such as neutrons and muons. The interaction of these neutrons and muons with oxygen-16 (16O) in minerals such as ice and quartz can produce carbon-14 (14C). Analyses of in situ produced cosmogenic 14C in quartz are commonly used to investigate the Earth’s landscape evolution. In glacial ice, 14C is also incorporated through trapping of 14C-containing atmospheric gases (14CO2, 14CO, and 14CH4). Understanding the production rates of in situ cosmogenic 14C is important to deconvolve the in situ cosmogenic and atmospheric 14C signals in ice, both of which contain valuable paleoenvironmental information. Unfortunately, the in situ 14C production rates by muons (which are the dominant production mechanism at depths of > 6 m solid ice equivalent) are uncertain. In this study, we use measurements of in situ 14C in ancient ice (> 50 kilo-annum before present, ka BP) from the Taylor Glacier ablation site, Antarctica in combination with a 2D ice flow model to better constrain the rates of 14C production by muons. We find that the commonly used values for muogenic 14C production rates (Heisinger et al., 2002a, 2002b) in ice are too high by factors of 5.7 (3.6–13.9, 95 % confidence interval) and 3.7 (2.0–11.9 95 % confidence interval) for negative muon capture and fast muon interactions, respectively. Our constraints on muogenic 14C production rates in ice allow for future measurements of 14C in ice cores to be used for other applications and imply that muogenic 14C production rates in quartz are overestimated as well.

رؤية الأميرة الهندية سكندر بيگم للوضع الاجتماعي والثقافي في مكة وجدة في القرن الثالث عشر الهجري
Authors: Alam Sahib Alam Al-Azami Al-Nadwi
Published: January 2022

This paper aims to study the socio-cultural conditions of Mecca and Jeddah during the nineteenth century AD. It examines these conditions through the account of Princess Sikandar Begum, Nawab of Bhopal, who made a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1863-1864 AD and stayed there for about six months. In her book titled Tārīkh-i Safar-i Makkah, Begum recorded details of the events, customs, and traditions that she observed. The importance of this account lies in the fact that it is one of the first Urdu accounts, in which one finds details about the socio-cultural conditions of Mecca and Jeddah. Most of the accounts and memoirs that were written by Indian travellers during that period only paid attention to the religious and spiritual manifestations of life in Arab cities. Begum’s memoir, on the other hand, is the first of its kind to offer a clear description of the social and cultural life of Arabia in the 1860s, with little attention to her spirituality. Thus, Begum’s account comes very close to an anthropologist’s record.
Деконструкция Aegyptiaca Romana: историографические трансформации и постановка проблемы
Authors: Чисталев Марк Сергеевич
Published: January 2022

В статье анализируются подходы и концепции исследований, посвященных проблемам изучения Aegyptiaca Romana в римском обществе, в зарубежном антиковедении. Отмечается, что религиозная интерпретация египетских и египтизированных предметов и артефактов длительное время являлась доминирующей парадигмой. Вплоть до 1970-х годов основной проблемой всех таких исследований являлось игнорирование контекста использования объектов, взаимосвязи формы и материала, специфики стилистического выражения (особенно применительно к объектам, произведенным в Италии), а также отказ принять во внимание возможность наличия более широкого спектра интерпретаций культовых образов. В то же время отличительной особенностью изысканий, опубликованных в последние годы, является смещение акцентов в трактовке Aegyptiaca Romana в новую крайность, а именно – полное неприятие религиозного контекста, что представляется слабо аргументированным и необоснованным.
ANALIZA DE DISCURS ȘI TEHNICA LEGISLATIVĂ: TEORIA COERENȚEI ȘI NORMELE DE REDACTARE A ACTELOR NORMATIVE
Authors: GIOROCEANU Alina
Published: January 2022

Out of the notions used by discourse analysis or pragmatics, we have chosen some explicit ones for the analysis and characterisation of legal texts/discourse. For the beginning, given the essential issues represented by the mechanisms which ensure the stability and unity of legislative architecture, we have emphasized the coincidence between the guidelines of legislative technique and the meta-rules of consistency referred to by both discourse analysts and pragmaticians. The issue of consistency becomes essential in legislative technique, since the failure to comply with its rules reflects upon the constitutional status of the regulated act.

EXPRESSION AND INTERPRETATION OF ATTRACTION AND INTERPERSONAL INTIMACY: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF FEMALE NONVERBAL BEHAVIOUR
Authors: ROMANIUK Oleksandra
Published: January 2022

The study investigates cross-cultural similarities and differences in the expression and interpretation of attraction and interpersonal intimacy. Nonverbal behaviors of American (North America; NUS = 170) and Ukrainian (Eastern Europe; NUA = 173) women were compared. Nonverbal behaviour was coded with respect to speech-related gestures, self-focused/other person focused touching behaviour, eye behaviour, facial expressions, and posture. The results showed that women’s choice is motivated by their intentions of (1) expressing attraction, interest, seduction, flirtatiousness, and excitement, (2) conveying submissiveness, little self-confidence, coyness, and embarrassment, (3) promoting small talk by greeting/parting rituals, (4) communicating self-disclosure/self-presentation. Although these intentions are similar in both cultures, the choice of nonverbal cues is different. These findings have implications for theorizing on cultural norms/gender stereotypes in a contemporary context of flirtation, courtship, and seduction.

SOME REMARKS ON GRAMMATOLOGICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF LINEAR A DOCUMENTS: AN INTERNAL ANALYSIS APPROACH
Authors: FANG Xiao Min , PERONO CACCIAFOCO Francesco , CAVALLARO, Francesco Paolo
Published: January 2022

Linear A is an ancient writing system that was used on the island of Crete and a few surrounding Aegean areas between 1750 and 1450 BC to represent the Minoan language(s). Linear A is believed to be a syllabic script, but has yet to be deciphered; consequently, little is known about the Minoan language(s). This paper provides an analysis of recurrent clusters of symbols in order to uncover aspects of the structure of the language that Linear A transcribed. From Linear A inscriptions in readily available publications, similar, frequently recurring clusters were identified, and the comparison and analysis of these clusters yielded three aspects of variation: symbol-internal variation, inter-cluster variation, as well as variants in the wider context. With the observations from the patterns in inter-cluster variation, an approximate morphological breakdown of the clusters was derived, and plausible roots and affixes were isolated. A comparison of the clusters’ immediate environments suggests that the affixes were more likely to have been semantically motivated, while the wider contextual variation provides possible interpretations of the semantic content of the affixes themselves. This internal analysis approach, with the morphological breakdown of the clusters analysed, provides further support for the current hypothesis that the language that Linear A represented was rich in affixation.
BESCHWERDEBRIEFE IM SPIEGEL DER HELFENDEN, DER AGGRESSIV-ENTWERTENDEN UND DER SICH DISTANZIERENDEN KOMMUNIKATIONSSTILE
Authors: KOVÁCS Réka
Published: January 2022

The paper intends to disclose the linguistic resources that letters of complaint may provide. It focuses on the analysis of functions and phrases that can be utilised for the expression of verbal distance, aggressiveness and helpfulness. Due to the fact that, while business communication in written form can poorly render feelings, it can still have a huge emotional impact on the recipient, the article investigates to what extent letters of complaint can be emotionally determined. To this end, the study rests on the theories elaborated by Friedemann Schulz von Thun regarding three communication styles, namely the supportive, the aggressive-pejorative and the distancing ones.
THE SEMANTIC TYPOLOGY OF SYNCRETIC SYNTACTICALLY INDIVISIBLE WORD COMBINATIONS IN UKRAINIAN LINGUISTICS

Semantic syntactical relationships identify syntactically indi visible wordcombinations in the syntactic system of the Ukrainian language. The specificity of syncreticsyntactically indivisible word combinations is that in their structure the dependentcomponent informally complements the nuclear component. S yncretic syntacticallyindivisible word combinations include three semantic types: complementary attributive,complementary object, and complementary attribute object. G rammatical significance ofthese syncretic indivisible phrases is determined by different types of semantic syntacticrelations: complementary, attributive, and object.
TEIL-GANZES-RELATIONEN IM KONTRASTIVEN VERGLEICH (AM BEISPIEL DER KÖRPERTEILBENENNUNGEN IN DEN GERMANISCHEN UND SLAWISCHEN SPRACHEN)
Authors: MATERYNSKA Olena
Published: January 2022

This paper deals with the research of the Part-Whole-Relations in the lexical system of the language exemplified by the human body part names in the Germanic (German, English) and Slavonic (Ukrainian, Russian) languages. The contrastive approach reveals the main differences in the nomination and segmentation process of the lexical units under analysis. The system of naive segmentation of the human body is proved to be the rich source of anthropomorphic metaphor in the compared languages. The polysemy level of the body part names in the contrasted languages is distinguished with the help of the index of polysemy. The study focuses on the classification of the regular semantic change paths of the body part names, highlights cross-language similarities and differences in their semantics and outlines their semantic productivity in the field of terminology.

Published: January 2022

Objective: to evaluate the experiences of sexuality and its correlation with frailty among older adults.

Materials and methods: cross-sectional study carried out with a total of 250 older adults living in the Northeast of Brazil. They answered three instruments to obtain biosociodemographic, sexuality and frailty data. The analysis was performed using Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test with 95% confidence interval.

Results: sexual intercourse was negatively correlated with reduced strength (ρ = -0.263; p < 0.001) and walking speed (ρ = -0.201; p = 0.001) and positively correlated with reported fatigue (ρ = 0.149; p = 0.018). Affective relationships were negatively correlated with reduced strength (ρ = -0.254; p < 0.001) and walking speed (ρ = -0.207; p = 0.001) and positively correlated with reported fatigue (ρ = 0.207; p = 0.001). Finally, physical and social adversities were positively correlated with reduced strength (ρ = 0.279; p < 0.001), reduced walking speed (ρ = 0.261; p < 0.001) and low physical activity (ρ = 0.140; p = 0.034), in addition to being negatively correlated with reported fatigue (ρ = -0.171; p = 0.009).

Conclusion: it was found that the sexuality of older adults is better experienced in affective relationships and weak positive and negative correlations between sexuality and frailty.

Published: January 2022

Proximal sensors have been used to characterize the crop biophysical properties by reflectance values and/or using Vegetation Indices (IV). Our goal with this work is to compare NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) spectra-temporal profiles obtained by active (GreenSeeker 505 Handheld) and passive (FieldSpec4 model Standard-Res) proximal sensors to monitor soybeans and beans. It was monitored agricultural fields with soybeans Nidera 5909RG variety and beans Imperador variety, located in the municipality of Cascavel, Parana state, Brazil. The proximal sensors were used to monitor the crop's conditions on different Days After Sowing (DAS). NDVI from FieldSpec4 (NDVI FS) showed a higher correlation with GreenSeeker NDVI (NDVI GS) in the wavelengths of 649 nm and 771 nm for soybeans (rs = 0.9105) and 646 nm and 792 nm for beans (rs = 0.9382). The inter-calibration of NDVI GS values in function of NDVI FS, considering the entire phenological cycle, resulted in RMSE = 0.0520 and dr = 0.8630 for soybeans and RMSE = 0.0636 and dr = 0.8890 for beans. NDVI values showed saturation during the major vegetative development of the crops, interfering in the inter-calibration process. In general, the NDVI GS and NDVI FS were similar in terms of their spectral-temporal pattern. According to our results, the active sensor could be used to crop monitoring, resulting in a lower cost and less climatic interference.

Use of peptides derived from parathyroid hormone-related protein for increasing bone formation and bone regeneration
Authors: Esbrit Argüelles Pedro
Published: January 2022

Osteoporosis, the most prevalent pathology affecting the skeleton, currently represents a challenge for Western societies. Bone mass loss with age, mainly but not exclusively related to estrogen deficiency, increases fracture risk. Fracture repair is frequently impaired due to metabolic alterations and/or the extention of bone damage. Thus, strategies like use of osteogenic factors that help regenerate damaged bone tissue are highly needed. In this regard, systemic administration of parathormone (PTH) represents the first anabolic treatment in osteoporosis by predominantly increasing bone formation over bone resorption during bone remodeling. Recently, there is a pharmacological alternative to PTH based on a peptide analogue derived from the N-terminal sequence of PTH-related protein (PTHrP) (named abaloparatide). This peptide exhibits great affinity for PTH type 1 receptor, and presents pharmacokinetic advantages (decreasing the risk of hipercalcemia), compared to PTH in the treatment of osteoporosis. N-terminal peptides of both PTH and PTHrP promote the formation of fracture callus and bone healing in animal models of bone injury. In addition, osteostatin peptide derived from the C-terminal tail of PTHrP -unrelated to PTH- displays osteogenic features in vitro and in vivo in osteoporosis models. In recent years, osteostatin loading into various types of implants (including mesoporous bioceramics based on SiO and Zn-doped bioglasses) improves the capacity of the biomaterial to increase bone regeneration. Current data support the notion that PTHrP-derived peptides are a promising strategy for bone tissue engineering applications.

Este artigo apresentará uma reflexão sobre a experiência teórico-prática advinda do Estágio em Serviço Social II, realizado no âmbito da Política de Assistência Social e da Política de Defesa dos Direitos das Pessoas em Situação de/na Rua. Foram analisados os resultados do Projeto de intervenção voltado aos usuários atendidos no Centro Pop de Novo Hamburgo (NH), no Rio Grande do Sul (RS), durante o período de março a julho de 2021. Este projeto de intervenção é uma via para ampliar o acesso à rede de proteção social, conforme preconizado em ambas as políticas. O espaço do estágio em Serviço Social norteia-se pelas portarias que falam sobre as competências e atribuições do Centro Pop, mediante a precarização das relações e condições de trabalho da equipe, seus rebatimentos na Política de Assistência Social e, consequentemente, na qualidade dos serviços sociais. Por isso, esta discussão é relevante e serve como subsídio para repensar o cotidiano de trabalho, em especial o agravamento da questão social. Tal artigo será discutido a partir do método do materialismo dialético. No que se refere aos resultados e discussões, foi evidenciada a reafirmação dos direitos sociais dessa parcela da população que vive a (des)proteção, a invisibilidade e o adoecimento, em especial, na pandemia do Novo Coronavírus – Covid-19.
Sobre não deixar ninguém para trás: Uma análise sobre as múltiplas violências que atingem as mulheres trans e as travestis
Authors: Julião Helena Vicentini , Souza Tatiana Machiavelli Carmo
Published: January 2022

Ao pautar qualquer tipo de preconceito, discriminação e a maneira que esse contexto resulta em múltiplas formas de violência, não é possível desprezar a história colonial e escravista da sociedade brasileira, bem  como o sistema e a conjuntura hodierna. É extremamente vasto o contexto social que perpetua a violência no dia a dia da população brasileira. Assim, em  que pese a vida livre de violência e de discriminação seja um direito inerente a todas as pessoas, para as mulheres as mulheres transexuais e as travestis a possibilidade de serem vítimas de múltiplas violências é um dado de sua própria existência, haja vista a conjugação dos vários preconceitos e formas de exclusão que enfrentam. É, portanto, nesse contexto, que tem como objetivo discutir as múltiplas violências vivenciadas pelas mulheres transexuais e, também, pelas travestis. Para tanto, em termos teóricos e metodológicos, em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, adotou-se o método dialético, o qual forneceu os subsídios necessários para uma interpretação dinâmica e totalizante da realidade. Sendo assim, foi realizado um estudo exploratório, com uma abordagem exclusivamente qualitativa, por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica.

O presente artigo aborda os impactos psicológicos da pandemia da COVID-19 para a vida de pessoas com Trantorno de Tourette, por meio da metodologia de natureza ensaística. Nesse sentido, o Tourette nada mais é do que uma perturbação neuropsiquiátrica que compromete o sujeito psicossocialmente, causando um intenso sofrimento psíquico às pessoas que o possuem devido às disfunções decorrentes de sua sintomatologia. Além disso, o atual contexto da pandemia tem impactado na saúde mental das pessoas que possuem esta psicopatologia, intensificando ainda mais os danos decorrentes desse quadro clínico. Portanto, difundimos o argumento de que se faz importante o acompanhamento psicológico no intuito de contribuir para uma melhor qualidade de vida e saúde mental destas pessoas.

ARQUITECTURA RELIGIOSA EN LOS VALLES CACHAQUIES
Authors: Lema Efraín
Published: January 2022

La religión como expresión cultural de una comunidad se presenta como uno de los primeros aspectos antropológicos, y ha acompañado el desarrollo del hombre a través de diversas manifestaciones, formando parte de sus costumbres, creencias y modo de vida. Una de esas manifestaciones culturales es la arquitectura religiosa, que representa físicamente espacios de culto sagrados o espacios dedicados a la oración o meditación.  De esta manera la Iglesia en el culto católico, se presenta como un importante hito representativo de la identidad cultural de una región. A partir de las políticas implementadas en el periodo de la conquista y colonización española, se introducen importantes cambios en la conformación social y cultural de los pueblos nativos conquistados. En el caso del noroeste argentino, la ruta de comunicación y de intercambio entre el Virreinato del Perú y el Virreinato del Río de la Plata era el llamado “Camino del Inca”, y recorría parte de la Puna y los Valles Calchaquíes, lugares donde se emplazaron las iglesias más antiguas de la región. En estos territorios la Iglesia se erige como evidencia física de la actividad evangelizadora del plan de conquista española, convirtiéndose en espacio de reunión de manifestaciones culturales en sus diversas expresiones. En esta nota de divulgación se realiza una descripción de la Iglesia de San Pedro Nolasco, localidad de Molinos, una obra singular que constituye un ejemplo significativo de la arquitectura religiosa de los Valles Calchaquíes.

El Paisaje como vector de integración del patrimonio y el uso social del territorio
Authors: Tejedor Cabrera Antonio , López Sánchez Marina , Linares Gómez del Pulgar Mercedes
Published: January 2022

El impacto de la acción humana sobre los paisajes de todo el mundo en las últimas décadas confirma la necesidad de replantearnos la forma en la que gestionamos el territorio. La toma de conciencia sobre la emergencia climática y las desigualdades generadas por la globalización reclama una búsqueda sistemática de compromisos globales que se apoyen en acciones locales de los países y las naciones.Estamos obligados a atender la identidad de los territorios a la hora de tomar decisiones sobre ellos para promover un uso sostenible y diversificado a través de sus recursos endógenos, huyendo de criterios generalistas y de dinámicas automatizadas que niegan la casuística específica de cada lugar.ResumenUn nuevo paradigma del patrimonio cultural como eje central para una nueva gestión del territorio se está imponiendo y, en su seno, el paisaje como manifestación identitaria no excluyente del vínculo que identifica a cada comunidad con el espacio que habita. El presente artículo se enmarca en este debate y aborda el modo en que el paisaje, entendido como vector de integración del patrimonio y el uso social del territorio, es capaz de asumir una vocación plenamente operativa y proyectual.La sinergia entre las nuevas tecnologías digitales, las TICs y en especial los Sistemas de Información Geográfica, y la cooperación transdisciplinar se revelan como dos claves fundamentales para la acción proyectual. En esta, la arquitectura debe adoptar un papel primordial pues cuenta con los instrumentos metodológicos y operativos de una mirada en clave propositiva hacia el territorio. La imbricación entre paisaje, patrimonio y arquitectura genera reflexiones y pautas de actuación específicas.Este texto se sitúa en dicho territorio de hibridación con el objetivo de favorecer un debate actualizador sobre el concepto de paisaje y su aplicación en las políticas públicas y los proyectos de desarrollo socioeconómico.El recorrido conceptual trazado revela cuatro líneas estratégicas complementarias que se consideran pertinentes a la hora de plantearnos cómo podemos pensar hoy el paisaje y cómo el proyecto de arquitectura puede formalizarse como mecanismo apropiado para su condensación e interpretación.

Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia, or jaundice, is a harmful disease found in newborns, a symptom of which is the yellowish discoloration of the skin. Visual examination is most frequently used for screening of Hyperbilirubinemia in neonates, however, blood specimen collection is the gold standard to identify the disease and its severity. We propose a Mobile Computer-Aided Diagnosis (mCADx) tool to identify the Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia symptom using advanced digital image processing and data mining techniques. The mCADx was developed in a cross-platform environment. The mCADx works with smart devices run on either iOS or Android operating systems. With ethical committee approval, we collected and studied image data of 178 infant subjects with different jaundice severity levels. The severity of the disease was examined from blood test results, which were annotated by medical specialists. Data mining techniques included Decision Trees, k Nearest Neighbor, and the Conventional Neural Network was investigated in the dataset. An in-depth comparison between techniques was performed and discussed. The classification results in CNN gained the highest accuracy at 0.8099, 0.9251, 0.8086. This novel work can assist in identifying Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia in newborns after discharging from the hospital. Reoccurring Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia can be found with minimum awareness of parents. Limitations and future works were discussed in this work.
Effective Classroom Management: A Sine Qua Non to Effective Teaching in a School Setting
Authors: Matthew Ige Akindele
Published: January 2022

A classroom is a place where a teacher teaches the learners and where the learners learn from a teacher. Being the workshop of a teacher where teaching and learning take place, the management of a classroom needs to be accorded priority attention. It is believed that if classroom management is given attention, so will effective teaching be achieved. In this paper, the issue of effective classroom management is examined, with a focus on the elements, such as the effective use of chalkboard, communication, use of teaching aids/instructional materials, evaluation of lesson, and management of behavioural challenges, such as noise-making, sleeping, fighting, reading, writing, eating, hissing, foot-dragging, just to mention a few; as well as the management of classroom environment, are examined. The paper recommends how to achieve effective classroom management and ultimately, effective teaching in a classroom setting, such as effective use of chalkboard, communication, use of instructional materials, evaluation of lesson, and management of behavioural challenges.

Published: January 2022

Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a type of hypersensitivity reaction which has been previously described with chemotherapy and monoclonal antibodies, but not with antibiotics. We present 2 pediatric cases of Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid (Augmentin) anaphylaxis resembling CRS. Both our patients presented during the index reaction with symptoms suggestive of an acute systemic inflammatory response mimicking sepsis. Their symptomology was reproducible at drug provocation test as anaphylaxis, but with suboptimal response to intramuscular adrenaline. Their infective workups were unremarkable and illnesses followed a self-limiting course. All these point towards a severe hypersensitivity reaction resembling CRS.
The discomfort levels in Gujarat-A comparison of different thermal stress indices
Authors: VYAS PANDEY
Published: January 2022

The characterization of discomfort of any location is essentially required to understand the efficiency of human activities. In the present study, four different thermal stress indices (Heat Index of Rothfusz (US_HI), simple Heat Index (S_HI), Discomfort index of Thom (EU_DI) and Discomfort index of South Africa (SA_DI) weather service) have been used to characterize the Gujarat state under different comfort level using daily climatic data of 12 stations spread across the state. Results revealed that all the thermal indices showed similar pattern of variation during the year, except the Heat Index of Rothfusz (US_HI) which is more or less constant during winter season when its values are less than 80. On an average, about 225 to 275 days have been characterized as the discomfort period of varying stress condition in different parts of the state. The peak period of discomfort index was found to be during May and June. Arnej and Viramagan are the two stations having highest level of discomfort at danger level. A comparison of all the four indices revealed that the two indices viz. US_HI and SA_DI are more or less similar in characterization; however, these indices are unable to detect and/or characterize the lower levels of discomfort. The Simple model (S_HI) could not differentiate the most discomfort period/ location as characterized by the other three thermal indices. The thermal indices EU_DI seems to be very sensitive for discomfort as all 365 days at Surat has been characterized as discomfort to be experienced by the people.
