Raman lidar-derived optical and microphysical properties of ice crystals within thin Arctic clouds during PARCS campaign
Authors: Chazette Patrick , Raut Jean-Christophe
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Cloud observations in the Arctic are still rare, which requires innovative observation techniques to assess ice crystal properties. We present an original approach using the Raman lidar measurements applied to a case study in northern Scandinavia. The vertical profiles of the optical properties, the effective radius of ice crystals and ice water content (IWC) in Arctic semi-transparent clouds were assessed using quantitative ground-based lidar measurements at 355 nm performed from 13 to 26 May 2016 in Hammerfest (north of Norway, 70∘39′48′′ N, 23∘41′00′′ E). The field campaign was part of the Pollution in the ARCtic System (PARCS) project of the French Arctic Initiative. The presence of low-level semi-transparent clouds was noted on 16 and 17 May. The cloud base was located just above the atmospheric boundary layer where the 0 ∘C isotherm reached around 800 m above the mean sea level (a.m.s.l.). To ensure the best penetration of the laser beam into the cloud, we selected case studies with cloud optical thickness (COT) lower than 2 and out of supercooled liquid pockets. Lidar-derived multiple scattering coefficients were found to be close to 1 and ice crystal depolarization around 10 %, suggesting that ice crystals were small and had a rather spherical shape. Using Mie computations, we determine effective radii between ∼7 and 25 µm in the clouds for ice water contents between 1 and 8 mg m−3, respectively. The uncertainties regarding the effective radii and ice water content are on average 2 µm and 0.65 mg m−3, respectively.

Abstract. The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) Hyper-Angular Rainbow Polarimeter (HARP2) will be on board NASA's Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission, scheduled for launch in January 2024. In this study we systematically evaluate the retrievability and uncertainty of aerosol and ocean parameters from HARP2 multi-angle polarimeter (MAP) measurements. To reduce the computational demand of MAP-based retrievals and maximize data processing throughput, we developed improved neural network (NN) forward models for spaceborne HARP2 measurements over a coupled atmosphere and ocean system within the FastMAPOL retrieval algorithm. To this end, a cascading retrieval scheme is implemented in FastMAPOL, which leverages a series of NN models of varying size, speed, and accuracy to optimize performance. Two sets of NN models are used for reflectance and polarization, respectively. A full day of global synthetic HARP2 data was generated and used to test various retrieval parameters including aerosol microphysical and optical properties, aerosol layer height, ocean surface wind speed, and ocean chlorophyll a concentration. To assess retrieval quality, pixel-wise retrieval uncertainties were derived from error propagation and evaluated against the difference between the retrieval parameters and truth based on a Monte Carlo method. We found that the fine-mode aerosol properties can be retrieved well from the HARP2 data, though the coarse-mode aerosol properties are more uncertain. Larger uncertainties are associated with a reduced number of available viewing angles, which typically occur near the scan edge of the HARP2 instrument. Results of the performance assessment demonstrate that the algorithm is a viable approach for operational application to HARP2 data after the PACE launch.
A novel Eulerian model based on central moments to simulate age and reactivity continua interacting with mixing processes
Authors: Rooze Jurjen , Jung Heewon , Radtke Hagen
Published: December 2023

Abstract. In geoscientific models, simulating the properties associated with particles in a continuum can serve many scientific purposes, and this has commonly been addressed using Lagrangian models. As an alternative approach, we present an Eulerian method here: diffusion–advection–reaction type partial differential equations are derived for centralized moments, which can describe the distribution of properties associated with chemicals in reaction–transport models. When the property is age, the equations for centralized moments (unlike non-central moments) do not require terms to account for aging, making this method suitable for modeling age tracers. The properties described by the distributions may also represent kinetic variables affecting reaction rates. In practical applications, continuous distributions of ages and reactivities are resolved to simulate organic matter mineralization in surficial sediments, where macrofaunal and physical mixing processes typically dominate transport. In test simulations, mixing emerged as the predominant factor shaping reactivity and age distributions. Furthermore, the applications showcase the method's aptitude for modeling continua in mixed environments while also highlighting practical considerations and challenges.

Published: December 2023

COVID-19 stay-at-home orders have had far-reaching negative consequences on mental health and quality of life (QOL). This is especially true for vulnerable populations, such as those who are unhoused, as they are more likely than the general population to have been struggling with a mental illness and poor QOL well before the pandemic. This exploratory cross-sectional study explored differences in PTSD symptom severity and overall QOL among a cohort of adults who were seeking housing support services pre-COVID-19 (n = 226 compared to a cohort of adults who were seeking housing support services during COVID-19 (n =205). All data were collected upon enrollment into a permanent supportive housing program. Participants seeking housing support services during COVID-19 compared to pre-COVID-19 were significantly more likely to report higher PTSD symptoms (t=3.14, p=0.001) and poorer QOL (=9.81, p=0.001), however differences were no longer observed at the five percent significance level once several covariates were controlled for in the analysis. Despite the lack of statistical significance at the multivariate level (which is likely a result of challenges with the data and the level of statistical significance selected and not a reflection of true differences between the cohorts), the clinical significance of the findings has implications for planning behavioral health services for unhoused individuals seeking housing support services, especially as we exit the pandemic.
Diálogo sobre a cidadania na BNCC numa perspectiva freireana
Authors: Koldehoff Marlene , Andreis Adriana Maria
Published: December 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a perspectiva de emancipação humana e de cidadania apresentada na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), fazendo, desse modo, uma conexão e um diálogo com a perspectiva freiriana. O problema norteador consiste na seguinte investigação: Qual a contribuição da BNCC para promover uma formação na perspectiva cidadã e de sujeitos humanamente emancipados? O estudo envolveu pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, pautada na hermenêutica dialógica e amparada em elementos da Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD). Os autores fundamentais para o estudo incluem Copatti e Andreis (2021), Simões e Andreis (2019), Freire (1974, 2004, 2001), Gadotti (2013) e Silva e Estormovski (2023). A pesquisa indica que a formação para a cidadania, a partir dessa política, caminha na direção de uma visão encurtada do mundo, com precária contribuição para a educação emancipatória humanística e, em boa medida, imputando à escola o compromisso de encontrar caminhos para responder a esta demanda. Interligando a BNCC aos princípios pedagógicos preconizados por Freire, refletimos sobre a educação que transcende os discursos mercadológicos, e seja voltada à emancipação humana. Concluímos que a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) desempenha um papel significativo na formação de sujeitos alinhados aos imperativos e demandas do sistema neoliberal por priorizar os interesses do mercado em detrimento da formação humana emancipatória, defendida pelo educador Paulo Freire. Destacamos, assim, um desafio à formação de sujeitos críticos que possam, de fato, contribuir para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa diante da priorização dos interesses do mercado subjacentes na BNCC.

Authors: Chisili Serghei
Published: December 2023

Recent data from the world economy show that 60 percent of all organizations cease to exist even in the first year of activity. According to the opinion of experts, one of the main causes of these failures consists in the inability of entrepreneurs to plan their business. In order for a business to be, successful, strategic planning of all business activities is necessary. That is exactly why strategic planning is one of the most important key elements of a successful business, because only with its help can possible risks be forecast and avoided. Strategic planning is a disciplined effort to produce the fundamental decisions and actions that formulate and shape what an organization is, what it does and why it does it. To achieve the best results, strategic planning involves obtaining broad information in an efficient manner, developing and exploring alternative strategies, and focusing on the future implications of present decisions. Strategic planning can help facilitate communication and participation, accommodate divergent interests and values, lead to prudent and reasonably analytical decisions, and promote successful implementation.

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE: Young adults living with episodic disabilities face unpredictable disruptions to their employment and health. Our study aimed to examine the impact of employment and income support interventions on the health and well-being of young adults living with episodic disabilities.

METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed intervention studies published in 2001–2021 in industrialized contexts. Two independent reviewers screened titles, abstracts and full-texts. We undertook a narrative synthesis of eligible articles.

RESULTS: Our search yielded 15 269 published articles, of which only five studies were eligible for evidence synthesis. All articles were appraised as being of medium quality. Four interventions focused on young adults living with mental health conditions. Two were based in clinical settings; three were based in community-based settings. Each employment intervention exhibited improvements in health outcomes. Three studies examined the impact of supported employment interventions that were particularly beneficial to improving work and health outcomes.

CONCLUSION: Involvement in employment interventions could provide benefits for the health of young adults living with episodic disabilities. Our systematic review highlights the need for research to elaborate on the ways in which employment interventions can impact the health and well-being of young adults living with different episodic disabilities.

Authors: Phạm Khánh Duy
Published: December 2023

Sân khấu cải lương là loại hình nghệ thuật truyền thống của dân tộc. Loại hình này vốn được sinh thành trên mảnh đất Nam Bộ, sau đó lan rộng ra những vùng miền khác, gắn bó chặt chẽ với đời sống nhân dân. Cải lương đã tồn tại hơn một thế kỷ, vượt qua sự thử thách của thời gian và có nhiều thành tựu vượt bậc. Đó chính là niềm tự hào của người dân Nam Bộ nói riêng, của dân tộc Việt Nam nói chung. Trong bài viết này, chúng tôi tập trung nghiên cứu vở cải lương "Bên dòng Sông Trẹm", được cải biên từ tiểu thuyết "Bên dòng Sông Trẹm" của Dương Hà, từ góc nhìn so sánh. Ngày nay, trước tình trạng nhiều người (đặc biệt là một bộ phận giới trẻ) đang có xu hướng quay lưng lại với cải lương, việc nghiên cứu loại hình nghệ thuật này càng có ý nghĩa hơn bao giờ hết.

Concept Mapping Analysis of Early Childhood Teachers' Experiences with Preservice Teacher Educational Practice
Authors:   Form of Public Safety and Culture, Seo Bo Soon
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study was to explore the phenomenon and concept of teaching practice through the experiences of preschool teachers in supporting preservice teachers, to identify the potential structure of the concept and the degree of agreement, and to draw implications for teaching practice systems. Participants were 24 teachers with experience as practicum supervisors, working in public or private preschools in three metropolitan areas and one rural area. Teachers were interviewed in three groups to share their experiences of supporting teaching practice, and 50 statements were derived from the interviews and expert review. Multidimensional scale analysis and cluster analysis were conducted based on the participants' categorization of similarity and assessment of their level of agreement with the statements. The results were as follows. First, the conceptual map of kindergarten teachers' experiences of educational practice support was set to be two-dimensional, with the x-axis interpreted as 'relational growth and systemic limiting factors' and the y-axis as 'conflict and performance factors'. Second, the statements were organized into four clusters, which were named cluster 1, “Change together through reflection”, cluster 2, “Difficulties related to preservice teachers”, cluster 3, “Support for preservice teachers' pedagogical practice”, and cluster 4, “Needs for a support system for teaching practice. Third, teachers expressed higher agreement with statements in clusters 1 and 3 and lower agreement with statements in clusters 2 and 4. Teachers perceived difficulties in supporting preservice teachers and the need to improve the practice system, but they were more likely to agree that it was a positive experience in which they made a difference with preservice teachers through reflection and practice. This study found that teachers noticed the changes and growth that occurred in their experiences with support for teaching practice, focused on the support for teaching practice, and created concepts that encompassed dilemmas, challenges, and support systems. It also discussed implications for creating a vibrant teaching practice ecosystem that includes diverse actors in teaching practice.
Early Modern Sexual Harassment in the Paradigm of Shame. The Case of Eliza/Avisa
Authors: Dubois-Nayt Armel
Published: December 2023

En janvier 1548 ou 1549, Thomas Seymour, le frère du lord-protecteur d’Angleterre durant la minorité d’Édouard VI, fut accusé de trahison après une enquête au cours de laquelle des agissements envers la demi-sœur du roi, Élisabeth Tudor, furent révélés. L’historiographie récente les considère comme relevant du harcèlement sexuel et leur analyse à travers le prisme de la honte permet de mieux comprendre les raisons de l’invisibilité de ce type d’agissements à la période moderne. Aucun soupçon d’anachronisme ne pèse sur cette notion centrale dans le système de valeurs de la première modernité que l’historienne Hanna Dawson a scindé en deux catégories, distinguant la honte de culpabilité (« guilt-shame ») de la honte de réputation (« reputation-shame »). Cet article replace donc le harcèlement sexuel d’Élisabeth Tudor par Thomas Seymour dans le paradigme de la honte, afin de mettre en lumière l’impuissance de la victime, de sa gouvernante et de sa gardienne face aux manœuvres de son tourmenteur, dégagé à l’inverse de tout sentiment de honte par son adhésion au double standard sexuel qui prévalait pour partie à l’époque. Il confronte ensuite ce récit à l’aune du double standard à une autre version des événements dans le poème à clé Willobie His Avisa publié en 1594, soit presque cinquante ans après les faits. Celui-ci dénonce non seulement la bestialité du harceleur et son sentiment d’impunité, mais il dégage également la victime de tout sentiment de honte social en l’érigeant au rang d’héroïne ayant surmonté l’épreuve du harcèlement.
Le paradoxe d’Emmanuelle, femme « libérée »ou femme harcelée ?
Authors: Filipiak Anna
Published: December 2023

Quasiment improvisé par une équipe d’amateurs largement dépassée par les évènements, le film Emmanuelle (1974) de Just Jaeckin est aussi une imposture en ce qui concerne la représentation des personnages féminins – mystification d’autant plus criante que son succès planétaire inédit lui permet, paradoxalement, de passer inaperçue. Car le premier soft porn français, numéro 1 au box-office de l’année 1974 en France (avec presque 9 millions d’entrées), recèle bien des ambiguïtés, à commencer par celle de son message. S’il a véhiculé un fantasme planétaire d’une femme libérée, le film apparaît cependant, à y regarder de plus près, comme une vaste entreprise de réappropriation machiste d’une sexualité féminine désormais livrée à la lumière du jour. Dans cet article, nous nous proposons de revenir sur ce film qui a marqué son époque pour devenir symbole même de la révolution sexuelle, mais qui a laissé inaperçu le thème du harcèlement. Emmanuelle reste un cas d’école d’un double discours qui prend comme appât le prétexte de la libération des femmes pour pourtant nier cette dernière dans le film. La « libération » du personnage féminin menée sous la houlette de mentors masculins est ainsi marquée par la violence et l’humiliation, pour le bon plaisir du public de l’époque.
Animals in Restoration Theatre, 1660–1710
Authors: Miyoshi Riki
Published: December 2023

Performing animals in Restoration theatre have seldom been the focal point of research. Exceptions include Michael Burden’s “Dancing Monkeys at Dorset Garden,” which examined the possible use of live monkeys in Henry Purcell’s opera The Fairy-Queen (1692), and Rafael Portillo’s “Staging Restoration Dramas,” a portion of which is dedicated to animals on the stage. This article provides a survey of animals on the Restoration stage and demonstrates the survival of a meaningful amount of evidence to suggest that live animals were employed more often than has hitherto been believed. It further argues that animals made a significant contribution to theatrical productions of the Restoration period.

Published: December 2023

Statement of Problem: The struggle for surviving cancer individuals who have undergone chemotherapy is still a dilemma. Chemotherapeutic agent, Doxorubicin (DOX), causing testicular damage, has been a concern of oncologists for many years. As DOX causes oxidative damage on non-tumorous tissues by the foundation of free radicals, the challenges of protection with various antioxidant therapies have been attempted. The foremost objective was to reduce the cytotoxic properties of DOX to healthy cells. Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin, based on its antioxidant property, was applied to study its potential protection to the testicular tissues after oxidative damage by DOX. Objectives: To demonstrate fibrotic changes in the interstitium of testes generated by anthracycline DOX on the mice and designed to study the morphometric changes in DOX affected testes with co-administration of antioxidant Vitamin C. Methodolgy: An Experimental study using male mice were separated into 3 groups (A, B & C). A was treated with normal saline 1 ml intraperitoneal (IP), B was given DOX alone (0.003 mg in 0.03ml /gm body weight IP for 3 doses on 6th, 8th and 10th day of study) and DOX (0.003 mg in 0.03ml /gm body weight IP for 3 doses on 6th, 8th and 10th day of study) + Vitamin C (0.5 mg in 0.01ml/gm body weight per orum daily) was delivered to group C. Animals were sacrificed on completion and organs were kept in Bouin’s fluid and later processing and staining of the tissue was done. Result: Statistical analysis was performed, using ANOVA test to evaluate the significance of parameter among three groups. Widening of interstitium with significant interstitial fibrosis and intra tubular empty spaces were evident as compared to controls. However, co-administration of Vitamin C with DOX significantly reduced (P < 0.001) fibrosis indicating protective role of Vitamin C against DOX induced testicular damage. Conclusion: Experimental study suggested that the antioxidant Vitamin C has a potential role in improving the parameter damaged by DOX.

Background: The most common and important treatable cause of non-communicable diseases is hypertension. Hypertension leads to high mortality and morbidity. The management of hypertension is not even close to the optimal target, despite the fact that there are effective, cheap, and safe drugs available in the markets of developing countries. Objective: This research aims to study antihypertensive therapy and examine the level of compliance with this therapy, along with the factors that contribute to non-compliance in this area. Study design: A cross-sectional study Place and Duration: This study was conducted at NICVD Karachi from December 2021 to December 2022. Methodology: All of the patients involved had hypertension, and they were adults. All the patients were those who regularly attended the hypertension clinic of this hospital, and they had been taking antihypertensive drugs for at least 1 month. A closed-ended questionnaire was used to interview the patients before the test was conducted. The data that was gathered through the questionnaire included gender, age, attendance of the patient at the hypertension clinic, patients having compliance with prescribed antihypertensive therapy drugs, and the reasons for non-compliance. Results: There were a total of 300 patients, of whom 150 were female and 150 were male. The mean age was 51 years. The majority of the participants were from the age group of 41 to 60 years, representing 52% of the participants. The majority of the hypertensive patients (65%) had poor compliance with the drugs they were prescribed. A total of 58% of the patients were not regular attendees at the clinic. Overall, 26% of participants stopped using the drugs because there were no symptoms seen after they started using them. Conclusion: The percentage of hypertensive patients who had poor compliance with the prescribed drugs was very high. Keywords: Adults, hypertension, compliance, antihypertensive drugs

Objective: Aim was to determine the risk of gastric carcinoma among patients of Helicobacter pylori gastritics and its risk factors. Study Design: Retrospective study Place and Duration: Department of gastroenterology, DHQ Teaching Hospital and Ghazi Khan Medical College DG Khan, Punjab in the duration from November, 2022 to April, 2023. Methods: Total 131 patients who had gastric carcinoma were included. Stored serum samples collected, were tested for IgG antibodies to H. pylori by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data on cigarette use, blood group, ulcer disease, and gastric surgery were obtained from questionnaires administered at enrollment. Tissue sections and pathology reports were reviewed to confirm the histologic results. SPSS 23.0 was used to analyze data. Results: In our study, male patients were higher in numbers 86 (65.6%) as compared to females 45 (34.4%). The patients mean age was 51.17±6.20 years and had mean BMI 24.16 ±7.46 kg/m2. 73 (55.7%) patients had smoking history. 97 (74.04%) patients had gastric ulcer. Average time from serum collection to stomach gastric carcinoma was 12.7±3.26 years. Among all, 74 (56.5%) patients had adenocarcinoma, gastroesophageal junction was found in 20 (15.3) cases, gastric lymphoma in 11 (8.4%) cases and 26 (19.4%) cases had undetermined or other cancers. We found that 83 (63.4%) patients had history of H.pylori infection. There was a significant negative association between a history of peptic ulcer disease and eventual gastric carcinoma (P = 0.003) and an independent association between a history of gastric surgery and the development of cancer (p = 0.004). Conclusion: The results of this research led us to the conclusion that an infection with H. pylori is linked to an elevated risk of gastric adenocarcinoma and may play a role as a cofactor in the process that leads to the development of this malignant condition. Keywords: H.pylori infection, Gastric Carcinoma, Risk Factors
