Authors: Ryan Theo J , Ní Sheachnasaigh Eimear , Ryder Sheila A.
Published: January 2021

Objectives: This report describes the design and ongoing implementation of online patient-facing experiences within an undergraduate pharmacy programme, redesigned from classroom activities due to the SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic.  
Methods: Two patient-facing experiences were pre-recorded for sharing with students online in the academic year 2020-21. Live webinars with the patients will accommodate questions and answers. Aligned case-based workshops have been redesigned from in-class activities to online workshops. Stufflebeam’s CIPP model of evaluation has been employed as an overall framework of evaluation. Roddy’s ‘four pillars’ for student success in online teaching were used to evaluate the online component. The perspectives of two participating patients regarding the online experience were obtained through semi-structured telephone interviews using suggested discussion themes. 
Results: Classroom-based patient-facing experiences in both cardiology and diabetes have been redesigned for an online format. Potential problems and resolutions were identified against the ‘four pillars’ to support students. Evaluation of patients' perspectives highlighted their motivations for participation and the importance patients place on pharmacists’ communication skills. Student perceptions of all components will be evaluated through anonymous online surveys upon roll-out.   
Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated pedagogical modifications. The educational benefits of patient-facing experiences can continue through online activities, while protecting vulnerable groups.

Introduction: During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, suspension of many educational activities occurred to mitigate the risks of infection spread. For pharmacy students in their internship year, many efforts have been made to move their experiential training to a virtual platform without compromising learning outcomes.
Objectives: Redesign the advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) to remote learning without compromising the learning outcomes; Develop an appropriate teaching modality/strategy and assessment method for remote APPE; To drive the change in experiential education by providing guidance for other pharmacy schools dealing with similar situations.
Restructured APPE: Eighty-seven interns were switched to an online internship with five specialties based on the availability of the preceptors, namely internal medicine, infectious diseases, oncology, total parenteral nutrition, and psychiatry. Experiential education activities such as drug information questions, case presentations, and clinical pharmacy topic discussions took place on virtual platforms. Student assessment was done using adjusted rubrics to suit the online platforms. Student feedback was taken using an online questionnaire and was mostly positive, indicating that they improved their clinical pharmacy knowledge.
Conclusion: The authors highlighted the various restructuring modalities and learning methods used for different clinical rotations to achieve the learning outcomes in difficult situations. In future, the authors plan to work with their colleagues in other health colleges to adapt their practices together.

Authors: Eksteen Mariet J
Published: January 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic arrived unannounced and every facet of humankind was forced to align. In South Africa, all aspects of pharmacy education were impacted. Higher education institutions had to adopt emergency remote teaching strategies and skills to ensure pharmacy students had remote access to learning content to ensure that the academic year could be salvaged. For pharmacist interns, the writing of the pre-registration exam was delayed for most of the year. Pharmacists were subjected to compulsory continuing professional development for the first time in 2020. Despite several challenges experienced during this year, COVID-19 will be remembered for the change it initiated and hopefully, a positive outcome for access to education in the country.
An overview of educational challenges and responses to the global pandemic of COVID-19 in pharmacy schools in Turkey
Authors: Selcuk Aysu , Ozcelikay Gulbin
Published: January 2021

Education is one of the areas affected by COVID-19. The authorities in Turkey responded fast to COVID-19 with the continuation of distance learning in higher education after 13 days of the first case. It was the first time pharmacy schools provided distance learning in Turkey. Although, in the beginning, there were some problems, students and academic staff adopted an online platform in a few weeks. Surveys completed by students and academic staff demonstrated that distance learning could provide opportunities for students such as easy access to lecture notes and repetition of lectures, and for academic staff improved working environment, flexibility and time-saving. However, both students and academic staff do not agree that face-to-face education should be replaced with distance learning. Using online platforms for distance learning in response to COVID-19 has enlightened faculty in terms of adopting new technology and educational techniques in lectures.
Relation Hepcidin with Renal Failure
Authors: Ali Dr. Rusul Arif Abd
Published: January 2021

Renal failure refers to a condition where the kidneys lose their normal functionality, which may be due to various factors including infections, auto immune diseases, diabetes and other endocrine disorders, cancer, and toxic chemicals. It is characterized by the reduction in the excretory and regulatory functions of kidney. Biochemically, it is typically detected by an elevated serum creatinine. In the science of physiology it is described as a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Hepcidin is a peptide produced primarily in the liver. Its mature form consists of 25 amino acids with a calculated mass of 2.8 kDa . Hepcidin has a key role in iron homeostasis by interacting with ferroportin. Hepcidin is the regulator of iron homeostasis in humans and other mammals. In humans, HAMP is the gene that encodes for hepcidin. 25-amino acid peptide was first identified in human urine and plasma. This peptide contains four disulfide bonds. It is synthesized, processed and secreted primarily by hepatocytes. In vitro, human hepcidin has anti-bacterial and antifungal activities. The 25-amino acid peptide of hepcidin is secreted by the liver, which seems to be the "master regulator" of iron metabolism.

Published: January 2021

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is a state of Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) without any clinically detectable organic, systemic & iatrogenic cause (pelvic pathology like tumor, inflammations excluded). DUB represents a particular type of AUB and is defined as excessive, prolonged and irregular bleeding of endometrium with frequency less than 21 days, duration more than seven days that does not cause pain and does not involve any organic lesion. Based on the clinical features it can be compared with Asrigdara mentioned in Ayurvedic classics. Asrigdara is one of the commonly met problems in Gynae OPD among peri menopausal women. One half of women among the AUB will have DUB. 10 – 15% of women experience episodes of DUB at some time during their reproductive age. This study was conducted in a single patient. A lady of age 41 years, having problem of prolonged bleeding since one and half years came to OPD of Prasuti and Stri roga, National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur. She had taken hormonal preparations and haemostatics for five continuous months along with D& C done for same problem, after wards bleeding increased even more and then doctors have given hysterectomy advice as the last resort. Patient was posted for Virechan Karma as classical schedule owing to her Agni and Vyayamshakti. Snehapan was done by plain Go Ghrita and Virechan was done by Trivritalehyam. Followed by few oral medicines after Samsarjana Karma. The patient was followed up for three months. There is significant reduction in amount of blood flow along with increased inter – menstrual period. Thus, we can conclude from the study that Ayurveda regimen plays an effective role in management of Asrigdara.

Purpose of the study: The objectives of the study were to critically analyse and explore the factors affecting job-search behaviour and to analyse the effect of such factors on job-search behaviour. Design/Methodology: 145 samples were obtained using a well-structured questionnaire from the population of 677 graduated students from Sohar University, using convenience sampling technique and the data collected was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Findings: The results of the study revealed that most of the graduated students do not have a clear method to apply for a future job whereas they believe that the internet is the best way to find a job and the degree they possess will help them to find a job in the field of their expertise. It was also revealed that they were confident that they have gained sufficient knowledge and skills required from the university and they prefer to have a clear plan to find a job. Research Implications: It was suggested that the Government should create jobs based on skills and open channels to recruit skilled graduates. It was also suggested that the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) should try to alter the curriculum and introduce professional/technical courses eliminating the gap between the HEIs and the labour market. Practical Implications: The study will help the colleges and the universities in conducting workshops and the related activities in engaging students towards increasing their skills. Originality: No study was carried out before to study the job-search behaviour of Omani students and this is a study of its own kind.

Indonesia with all of its diversities in which law and culture live side by side and become part of state law regularity. Centralistic view contends that the only institution which plays role in creating social regularity is the country through the law formed and determined by the country. In its reality, there are many ‘other forces’ that do not come from the state such as customary law, religion law, habits, trade agreement across country and so on. Those forces also have the ability to regulate the community actions bound in it even sometimes the member or the community in the society prefers to obey the rules formed by their group compared to the state law regulations. The research method used was sociological approach with moral, ethic, and religious approach. Traditional communities are groups of individuals who live from generation to generation in a certain geographical territory and are bind by cultural identities, strong relationships with their indigenous land, regions, and natural resources. Their value system determines their economic, political, and legal institutions. Indigenous peoples are groups of individuals who live from generation to generation in a certain geographical territory and are bind by cultural identities, strong relationships with their indigenous land, regions, and natural resources. Their value system determines their economic, political, and legal institutions arranged by customary institutions that have the authority to govern.

Designing a microprocessor involves determining the optimal microarchitecture for a given objective function and a given set of constraints. Superscalar processing is the latest in along series of innovations aimed at producing ever-faster microprocessors. By exploiting instruction-level parallelism, superscalar processors[1] are capable of executing more than one instruction in a clock cycle.The architectural design of super scalar processor involves a lot of trade off issues when selecting parameter values for instruction level parallelism.The use of critical quantitative analysis based upon the Simple Scalar simulations is necessary to select optimal parameter values for the processor aimed at specific target environment. This paper aims at finding optimal values for the super scalar processor and determines which processor parameters have the greatest impact on the simulated execution time.
INTELLIGENT PHISHING WEBSITE DETECTION AND PREVENTION SYSTEM BY USING LINK GUARD ALGORITHM
Authors: MADHURI M. , YESESWINI K. , SAGAR U. VIDYA
Published: January 2021

Phishing is a new type of network attack where the attacker creates a replica of an existing Web page to fool users (e.g., by using specially designed e-mails or instant messages) into submitting personal, financial, or password data to what they think is their service provides’ Web site. In this project, we proposed a new end-host based anti-phishing algorithm, which we call Link Guard, by utilizing the generic characteristics of the hyperlinks in phishing attacks. These characteristics are derived by analyzing the phishing data archive provided by the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG). Because it is based on the generic characteristics of phishing attacks, Link Guard can detect not only known but also unknown phishing attacks. We have implemented LinkGuard in Windows XP. Our experiments verified that LinkGuard is effective to detect and prevent both known and unknown phishing attacks with minimal false negatives. LinkGuard successfully detects 195 out of the 203 phishing attacks. Our experiments also showed that LinkGuard is light weighted and can detect and prevent phishing attacks in real time. Index

Published: January 2021

With the expansion of computer network there is a challenge to compete with the intruders who can easily break into the system. So it becomes a necessity to device systems or algorithms that can not only detect intrusion but can also improve the detection rate. In this paper we propose an intrusion detection system that uses rough set theory for feature selection, which is extraction of relevant attributes from the entire set of attributes describing a data packet and used the same theory to classify the packet if it is normal or an attack. After the simplification of the discernibility matrix we were to select or reduce the features. We have used Rosetta tool to obtain the reducts and classification rules. NSL KDD dataset is used as training set and is provided to Rosetta to obtain the classification rules.

Published: January 2021

Fingerprint or Face Image enhancement using Gabor filter is one of highly computational complexity in fingerprint verification process. Gabor filter has a complex valued convolution kernel and a data format with complex values is used. So implementing Gabor filter is very significant in fingerprint verification process. Designing Gabor filter will help enhancing the quality of fingerprint image. In fingerprint recognition, Gabor filter optimally capture both local orientation and frequency information from a fingerprint image. By tuning a Gabor filter to specific frequency and direction, the local frequency and orientation information can be obtained. Thus, it is suited for extracting texture information from images. This paper presents the implementation of 2-D Gabor Filter design using Verilog HDL. This paper details important enhancement made to the 2D -Digital Gabor filter to minimize the sizing problem and the coding style that synthesizable. The intention is to study, analyze, simplify and improvise the design synthesis efficiency and accuracy while maintaining the same functionality. The result provides area efficiency architecture for the effective design.

Published: January 2021

This paper investigate the effect of Rician fading and correlation on the capacity and diversity of MIMO channels. The use of antenna arrays at both sides of the wireless communication link (MIMO systems) can increase channel capacity provided the propagation medium is rich scattering or Rayleigh fading and the antenna arrays at both sides are uncorrelated. However, the presence of line-of-sight (LOS) component and correlation of real world wireless channels may affect the system performance. Along with that we also investigate power distribution methods for higher capacity gains and effect of CSI at the transmitter on the capacity for range of SNR. Our investigation follows capacity gain as function of number of antennas and signal-to-noise (SNR) power ratio Block and frequency nonselective Rician fading channel is assumed, and the effect of Rician factor (L) and the correlation parameter (ρ) on the capacity and diversity gains of MIMO channels are found.

Introduction. Les anévrismes de la crosse aortique distale sont plus rares que ceux de l’aorte ascendante. Ils sont le plus souvent découverts à l'occasion d'une radiographie pulmonaire effectuée systématiquement ou pour une autre pathologie. Plus rarement, c'est une complication qui le révèle : soit compression, soit fissuration ou rupture. Le scanner et l'imagerie par résonance magnétique sont les examens de choix dans le diagnostic des anévrismes de la crosse aortique. Le traitement est chirurgical. Le but de ce travail est de monter un cas d’anévrisme de la crosse aortique distale englobant l’origine de l’artère sous clavière. Observation. Nous rapportons l’observation d’un patient âgé de 50 ans sans antécédents hospitalisé dans notre service à la suite de découvert fortuite lors d’un bilan d’une dysphonie d’un anévrisme de la crosse aortique. Préopératoire : Il était au stade II de la NYHA présentant une dysphonie depuis quelques mois. Radiographie pulmonaire : ICT à 0 ,60. ECG : RRS. Échocardiographie : Anévrisme de la drosse distale, insuffisance aortique grade II à valve souple. Per opératoire : Volumineux anévrisme de la crosse aortique distale prenant l’origine de l’artère sous clavière gauche. Angio-TDM thoracique : Anévrisme de la crosse 82/72 mm. Coronarographie : Fistule coronaro- auriculaire gauche. Le geste : Mise à plat de l’anévrisme, rétablissement de la continuité aortique par un tube en Dacron numéro 28 implanté en terminoterminale en hypothermie profonde et arrêt circulatoire et réimplantation de l’artère sous clavière dans la prothèse par l’intermédiaire d’un tube en dacron numéro 10. Les suites post opératoires étaient défavorables avec décès du patient en J 3 par défaillance circulatoire. Conclusion. Les anévrismes de la crosse aortique sont rares, d’étiologies diverses et posent des problèmes de technique chirurgicale très spécifiques. L’abord chirurgical de la crosse est très difficile.

Les hémorragies digestives d’origine grêlique sont rares. Les diverticules jéjuno-iléaux sont rarement à l'origine d'une pathologie aiguë. La fréquence des diverticules acquis du jéjunum et de l’iléon varie de 0,06 à 2,3 % selon les séries. L'entéroscopie est l’examen de choix pour poser le diagnostic précocement. L'embolisation artérielle constitue un procédé efficace du traitement de l'hémorragie digestive associée à une diverticulose jéjunale. Nous rapportons l'observation d'une patiente qui s’est présentée aux urgences dans un tableau d’hémorragie digestive grave basse due à une diverticulose grêlique diagnostiquée suite à une laparotomie exploratrice en urgence et traitée efficacement par une résection jéjunale avec anastomose jéjuno-jéjunale T-T. Les suites post-opératoires étaient simples. Après 1 an de recul, la malade n'avait pas de récidive hémorragique.

Le SRAS-CoV-2 du syndrome respiratoire aigu sévère, virus nouvellement émergeant, découvert en chine (Wuhan) a mené à une pandémie actuelle de maladie a coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19). Plus de 1.700.000 de cas en Afrique avec 1.400.000 de guérisons associés et 41000 de décès. 55,630 cas en Algérie avec 1,897 de décès (OMS 27 octobre 2020). Le SARS-Cov 2 peut infecter plusieurs systèmes y compris les voies urinaires ; cependant, la présence d’ARN viral n’était pas nécessairement prédictive des symptômes cliniques urinaires. L’objectif de cet article est de montrer que la Covid-19 peut être révélée par une symptomatologie urinaire haute, ce qui a été retrouvé pour la première fois chez un patient âgé de 56 ans, tabagique, ayant comme antécédents une anosmie et une agueusie remontant au mois de juin, consultait pour un tableau d’infection urinaire haute avec une leucocyturie aseptique, un bilan rénal perturbé. Devant la persistance de la fièvre et l’apparition des signes respiratoires, une sérologie Covid-19 lui a été pratiquée revenant négative, une PCR nasopharyngée positive et la PCR urinaire 3 jours après la mise en route du l’hydroxychloroquine était négative. Devant l’aggravation des lésions pulmonaires le malade est décédé dans un tableau d’insuffisance respiratoire aigüe. En conclusion, devant toute symptomatologie fébrile d’apparition aigue en cette période de pandémie, le praticien doit toujours avoir le réflexe de pratiquer une PCR nasopharyngée à la recherche du virus afin d’optimiser la prise en charge et d’éviter L’apparition des formes graves

La comptabilisation annuelle des décès et la détermination des causes sont essentielles pour évaluer l’efficacité du système de santé d’un pays, que l’on estime aussi en mesurant l’impact des maladies et des traumatismes. Ces chiffres permettent aux autorités sanitaires de déterminer si elles prennent des mesures de santé publique adéquates. Les pays industrialisés disposent de systèmes pour déterminer les causes de décès dans la population. En revanche la plupart des pays en développement dont l’Algérie, n’en disposent pas. L'amélioration des statistiques des causes de décès passe par l’amélioration de la certification des décès, qui est encadrée par le format du certificat de décès et par le concept de la cause initiale du décès. Ainsi, le pivot de l’étude ces statistiques repose sur le certificat médical de décès, sa rédaction doit obéir aux règles et aux instructions édictées par l’organisation mondiale de la santé. Le modèle du certificat de décès doit être conforme à un modèle type préconisé par l’OMS, qui propose à tous les états membres un modèle international de certificat médical de la cause de décès, où figurent, suivant un ordre précis, une cause immédiate, une cause initiale et une ou plusieurs causes associées (intermédiaires) ayant contribués de manière indirecte au phénomène morbide. Ensuite, la codification des causes de décès s’appuie sur la classification internationale des maladies de l’organisation mondiale de la santé. Ce cadre garantit un certain niveau de qualité et de comparabilité nationale et internationale des données de mortalité.

Marketing of databases is a formal method to the compilation, integration and analysis of customer information stored in the datasets of an organization. While database may traditionally been shown in commercial media for user information, the method to database marketing is characterized by the fact even more user data is stored and as such the information is analyzed and is used in innovative and more advanced ways. Advertising agencies use the information to learn little about consumers, pick target audiences for particular promotions, evaluate the importance of buyers to the business and have much more personalized customer offers, among several other aspects.

Este trabalho investiga a existência de uma cultura de Antigo Regime engendrada no Reino de Portugal e em seus domínios coloniais, desde o século XV até o XVII. Para tanto, colocamos sob análise as representações construídas sobre e pelos monarcas. Metodologicamente analisamos dois grupos de fontes documentais: o primeiro remete às cerimônias e aparições do Monarca e seus súditos, e o segundo, aos escritos régios que desvelam, de maneira clara e objetiva, comportamentos, hábitos e costumes marcadamente masculinizantes. Conclui-se que a literatura foi um importante pilar para a manutenção de uma cultura guerreira ibérica em declínio e para a propagação de modelos de masculinidade altamente viris no Reino e em suas colônias.
My Contributions to Internalization Theory
Authors: Rugman Alan
Published: January 2021

This paper is an autobiographical reflection on the early history of internalization theory, first developed by Buckley and Casson (1976). The author, Alan Rugman, was a colleague of theirs at Reading University, and he subsequently published a large number of articles in refereed academic journals both extending and testing internalization theory. This article places a set of 25 of the most influential articles by Rugman on internalization theory into the intellectual, institutional and personal context within which they were conceived, presented and published.

Abstract. In June 2019 a stratospheric eruption occurred at Raikoke (48∘ N,
153∘ E). Satellite observations show the injection of ash and SO2 into the lower stratosphere and an early entrainment of the plume into a cyclone. Following the Raikoke eruption, stratospheric aerosol optical depth (sAOD) values increased in the whole Northern Hemisphere and tropics and remained enhanced for more than 1 year, with peak values at 0.040 (short-wavelength, high northern latitudes) to 0.025 (short-wavelength, Northern Hemisphere average). Discrepancies between observations and global model simulations indicate that ash may have influenced the extent and evolution of the sAOD. Top of the atmosphere radiative forcings are estimated at values between −0.3 and -0.4Wm-2 (clear-sky) and of −0.1 to -0.2Wm-2 (all-sky), comparable to what was estimated for the Sarychev eruption in 2009. Almost simultaneously two significantly smaller stratospheric eruptions occurred at Ulawun (5∘ S, 151∘ E) in June and August. Aerosol enhancements from the Ulawun eruptions mainly had an impact on the tropics and Southern Hemisphere. The Ulawun plume circled the Earth within 1 month in the tropics. Peak shorter-wavelength sAOD values at 0.01 are found in the tropics following the Ulawun eruptions and a radiative forcing not exceeding −0.15 (clear-sky) and −0.05 (all-sky). Compared to the Canadian fires (2017), Ambae eruption (2018), Ulawun (2019) and the Australian fires (2019/2020), the highest sAOD and radiative forcing values are found for the Raikoke eruption.

Abstract. Monitoring and describing the spatiotemporal variability in dust aerosols is crucial for understanding their multiple effects, related feedbacks, and impacts within the Earth system. This study describes the development of the ModIs Dust AeroSol (MIDAS) data set. MIDAS provides columnar daily dust optical depth (DOD) at 550 nm at a global scale and fine spatial resolution (0.1∘ × 0.1∘) over a 15-year period (2003–2017). This new data set combines quality filtered satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals from MODIS-Aqua at swath level (Collection 6.1; Level 2), along with DOD-to-AOD ratios provided by the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis to derive DOD on the MODIS native grid. The uncertainties of the MODIS AOD and MERRA-2 dust fraction, with respect to the AEronet RObotic NETwork (AERONET) and LIdar climatology of vertical Aerosol Structure for space-based lidar simulation (LIVAS), respectively, are taken into account for the estimation of the total DOD uncertainty. MERRA-2 dust fractions are in very good agreement with those of LIVAS across the dust belt in the
tropical Atlantic Ocean and the Arabian Sea; the agreement degrades in North America and the Southern Hemisphere, where dust sources are smaller. MIDAS, MERRA-2, and LIVAS DODs strongly agree when it comes to annual and seasonal spatial patterns, with colocated global DOD averages of 0.033, 0.031, and 0.029, respectively; however, deviations in dust loading are evident and regionally dependent. Overall, MIDAS is well correlated with AERONET-derived DODs (R=0.89) and only shows a small positive bias (0.004 or 2.7 %). Among the major dust areas of the planet, the highest R values (>0.9) are found at sites of North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. MIDAS expands, complements, and upgrades the existing observational capabilities of dust aerosols, and it is suitable for dust climatological studies, model evaluation, and data assimilation.

Abstract. A simplified model, representing the dynamics of marine organic particles in a given size range experiencing coagulation and fragmentation reactions is developed. The framework is based on a discrete size spectrum on which reactions act to exchange properties between different particle sizes. The reactions are prescribed according to triplets interactions. Coagulation combines two particle sizes to yield a third one, while fragmentation breaks a given particle size into two (i.e. the inverse of the coagulation reaction). The complete set of reactions is given by all the permutations of two particle sizes associated with a third one. Since, by design, some reactions yield particle sizes that are outside the resolved size range of the spectrum, a closure is developed to take into account this unresolved range and satisfy global constraints such as mass conservation. In order to minimize the number of tracers required to apply this model to an Ocean General Circulation Model focus is placed on the robustness of the model to the particle size resolution. Thus, numerical experiments were designed to study the dependence of the results on i) the number of particle size bins used to discretize a given size range (i.e. the resolution) and ii) the type of discretization (i.e. linear vs nonlinear). The results demonstrate that in a linearly size discretized configuration, the model is independent of the resolution. However, important biases are observed in a nonlinear discretization. A first attempt to mitigate the effect of nonlinearity of the size spectrum is then presented and shows significant improvement in reducing the observed biases.

Abstract. Turbulent mixing in the ocean interior is mainly contributed by internal wave breaking; however, the mixing properties and the modulation effects of mesoscale environmental factors are not well-known. Here, the spatially inhomogeneous and seasonally variable diapycnal diffusivities in the upper Philippine Sea were estimated from ARGO float data using a strain-based finescale parameterization. Based on a coordinated analysis of multi-source data, we found that the driving processes for diapycnal diffusivities mainly included the near-inertial waves and internal tides. Mesoscale features were important in intensifying the mixing and modulating its spatial pattern. One interesting finding was that, besides near-inertial waves, internal tides also contributed significant diapycnal mixing for the upper Philippine Sea. The seasonal cycles of diapycnal diffusivities and their contributors differed zonally. In the mid-latitudes, wind-mixing dominated and was strongest in winter and weakest in summer. In contrast, tidal-mixing was more predominant in the lower-latitudes and had no apparent seasonal variability. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the mesoscale environment in the Philippine Sea played a significant role in regulating the intensity and shaping the spatial inhomogeneity of the internal tidal mixing. The magnitudes of internal tidal mixing was greatly elevated in regions of energetic mesoscale processes. The anticyclonic mesoscale features were found to enhance diapycnal mixing more significantly than did cyclonic ones.
