Inversion of transfer zones in salt-bearing extensional systems: insights from analogue modeling
Authors: Wilson Elizabeth Parker , Granado Pablo , Santolaria Pablo , Ferrer Oriol , Muñoz Josep Anton
Published: February 2023

Abstract. This work uses sandbox analogue models to analyze the formation and subsequent inversion of a decoupled extensional system comprised of two segmented half-grabens with thick early syn-rift salt. The segmented half grabens strike perpendicular to the direction of extension and subsequent shortening. Rifting created first a basement topography that was infilled by model salt, followed by a second phase of extension and sedimentation, followed afterwards by inversion. During the second phase of extension, syn-rift syncline minibasins developed above the basement extensional system and extended beyond the confines of the fault blocks. Sedimentary downbuilding and extension initiated the migration of model salt to the basement highs, forming salt anticlines, reactive diapirs, and salt walls perpendicular to the direction of extension, except for along the transfer zone where a slightly oblique salt anticline developed. Inversion resulted in decoupled cover and basement thrust systems. Thrusts in the cover system nucleated along squeezed salt structures and along primary welds. New primary welds developed where the cover sequence touched down on basement thrust tips due to uplift, salt extrusion, and syn-contractional downbuilding caused by loading of syn-contractional sedimentation. Model geometries reveal the control imposed by the basement configuration and distribution of salt in the development of a thrust front from the inversion of a salt-bearing extensional system. In 3D, the interaction of salt migrating from adjacent syn-rift basins can modify the expected salt structure geometry, which may in turn influence the location and style of thrust in the cover sequence upon inversion. Results are compared to the northern Lusitanian Basin, offshore Portugal and the Isàbena area of the South-Central Pyrenees, Spain.
Accounting for the effect of forest and fragmentation in probabilistic rockfall hazard
Authors: Lanfranconi Camilla , Frattini Paolo , Sala Gianluca , Bertolo Davide , Sun Juanjuan , Crosta Giovanni Battista
Published: February 2023

Abstract. The presence of trees along the slope and block fragmentation at impact strongly affect rockfall dynamics, and hazard as a consequence. However, these phenomena are rarely simulated explicitly in rockfall studies. We performed rockfall simulations by using the 3D rockfall simulator Hy-Stone, modelling both the presence of trees and fragmentation through specific algorithms implemented in the code. By comparing these simulations with a more classical approach that attempt to account implicitly for such phenomena in the model parameters, and by using a new probabilistic rockfall hazard analysis (PRHA) method, we were able to quantify the impact of these phenomena on the design of countermeasures and on hazard. We demonstrate that hazard changes significantly when accounting explicitly for these phenomena, and that a classical implicit approach usually overestimates both the hazard level and the 95th percentile of kinetic energy, leading to an oversizing of mitigation measures.

Published: February 2023

Abstract. The Canadian Atmospheric Model version 5 (CanAM5) is the component of Canadian Earth System Model version 5 (CanESM5) which models atmospheric processes and coupling of the atmosphere with land and lake models. Described in this paper are the main features of CanAM5, with a focus on changes relative to the last major scientific version of the model (CanAM4). These changes are mostly related to improvements in radiative transfer, clouds and aerosol parameterizations, as well as a major upgrade of the land surface and land carbon cycle models and addition of a small lake model. In addition to changes to parameterizations and models, changes in the adjustable parameters between CanAM4 and CanAM5 are documented. Finally, the mean climatology simulated by CanAM5 for present day are evaluated against observations and compared with that simulated by CanAM4. Although many of the aspects of the simulated climate are similar between CanAM4 and CanAM5, there is a reduction of precipitation and temperature biases over the Amazonian basin, global cloud fraction biases, and solar and thermal cloud radiative effects, all of which are improvements relative to observations.
Ozone and water vapor variability in the polar middle atmosphere observed with ground-based microwave radiometers
Authors: Shi Guochun , Krochin Witali , Sauvageat Eric , Stober Gunter
Published: February 2023

Abstract. We present continuous ozone and water vapor measurements with the two ground-based radiometers GROMOS-C and MIAWARA-C at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard (79° N, 12° E), that started in September 2015. Leveraging GROMOS-C and MIAWARA-C measurements, MERRA-2, and Aura-MLS datasets, we analyze the long-term behavior and interannual differences of ozone and water vapor and compile climatologies of both trace gases that describe the annual variation of ozone and water vapor at polar latitudes. A climatological comparison of the measurements from our ground-based radiometers with reanalysis and satellite data was performed. Overall differences between GROMOS-C and Aura-MLS ozone climatology are on the order of 10–15 % depending on the altitudes. For the water vapor climatology, MIAWARA-C shows the best agreement with Aura-MLS on average within 5 % throughout the upper stratosphere and mesosphere. The comparison to MERRA-2 yields an agreement that reveals discrepancies larger than 50 % above 0.2 hPa depending on the implemented radiative transfer schemes and other model physics. Furthermore, we perform a conjugate latitude comparison by defining a virtual station in the southern hemisphere at the geographic coordinate (79° S, 12° E) to investigate interhemispheric differences in the atmospheric compositions. Both trace gases show much more pronounced interannual and seasonal variability in the northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere. We estimate the effective water vapor transport vertical velocities corresponding to upwelling and downwelling periods driven by the residual circulation. In the northern hemisphere, the water vapor ascent rate is 3.42 ± 1.89 mm s−1 from MIAWARA-C and 4.64 ± 1.83 mm s−1 from Aura-MLS, and the descent rate is 4.98 ± 1.08 mm s−1 from MIAWARA-C and 5.40 ± 1.54 mm s−1 from Aura-MLS. The water vapor ascent and descent rates in the southern hemisphere are 5.22 ± 0.76 mm s−1 and 2.61 ± 1.44 mm s−1 from Aura-MLS, respectively. The water vapor transport vertical velocities analysis further reveals a higher variability in the northern hemisphere and is suitable to monitor and characterize the evolution of the northern and southern polar dynamics linked to the polar vortex as a function of time and altitude.
The impact of seismic noise produced by wind turbines on seismic borehole measurements
Authors: Limberger Fabian , Rümpker Georg , Lindenfeld Michael , Deckert Hagen
Published: February 2023

Abstract. Seismic signals produced by wind turbines can have an adverse effect on seismological measurements up to distances of several kilometres. Based on numerical simulations of the emitted seismic wavefield, we study the effectivity of seismic borehole installations as a way to reduce the incoming noise. We analyse the signal amplitude as a function of sensor depth and investigate effects of seismic velocities, damping parameters and geological layerings in the subsurface. Our numerical approach is validated by real data from borehole installations affected by wind turbines. We demonstrate that a seismic borehole installation with an adequate depth can effectively reduce the impact of seismic noise from wind turbines in comparison to surface installations. Therefore, placing the seismometer at greater depth represents a potentially effective measure to improve or retain the quality of the recordings at a seismic station. However, the advantages of the borehole decrease significantly with increasing signal wavelength.

Published: February 2023

Abstract. The purpose of this research study is to assess the potential using smartphone camera captured images for 3D model reconstruction by using Structure from Motion (SFM) photogrammetry technique, specifically in term of volumetric measurement. In past, the volumetric measurement of surface or object is by using Imaging Station or by professional Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS), however such approach is expensive in labour fees and instruments fee respectively. A cheaper alternative is necessary for researcher and industrial to construct 3D model with greater cost efficiency. The improvement of photography and computer vision has introduced the technique of SFM photogrammetry, an alternative in 3D model reconstruction other than TLS. Non-metric camera sensor mounted inside budget smartphone are used to capture images of stockpile and processed by Agisoft Metashape Professional (AMP) software to construct a 3D model. The volumetric measurement is executed and compare with the benchmark which is the model constructed from TLS. Statistics and tables are used to indicate the accuracy of Smartphone based SFM photogrammetry in intuitive manner. The result shows that the volumetric measurement by using smartphone SFM method has significant difference when compared with the benchmark, TLS solution.

Published: February 2023

Abstract. Nautical charts generally report fundamental knowledge for the safety of navigation. This information also includes sea depth data reported as depth points or contour lines, which can be used to build a 3D model of the seabed. However, there are different interpolation methods for creating digital depth models, and there is no way to know in advance which of them is the best performing. The aim of this work is to compare different spatial interpolation methods applied on a dataset concerning the seabed of the Port of Naples (Italy) and extracted from the Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) produced by the Hydrographic Institute of the Italian Navy, in scale 1:10.000. Four deterministic interpolation methods, i.e. Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Global Polynomial Interpolation (GPI), Local Polynomial Interpolation (LPI), Radial Basis Function (RBF), and two stochastic interpolation methods, i.e. Ordinary Kriging (OK) and Universal Kriging (UK), are applied using Geographic Information System (GIS) software. Since each method requires to set specific parameters and different options are available, e.g. the order of the polynomial function for GPI and LPI, or semi-variograms for OK and UK, twenty-three models are generated. The result quality is evaluated by Leave-One-Out cross-validation and the statistics of the residuals produced by each interpolation method in the measured points are compared and analysed. The experiments confirm that the stochastic approach is more versatile compared to deterministic approach and can produce better results, as it is testified by the great performance of the Ordinary Kriging, which produces the most accurate 3D models.

Published: February 2023

Abstract. Agriculture is a very important economic sector in Morocco, which requires a set of tools to improve agricultural production. Among these tools, the use of geomembrane basins. The latter is of great importance in smart farming planning, management practices or even in livestock use. In this context, this study evaluates a recognition and classification of the geomembrane basin using remote sensing satellite images; based on the Yolov3 deep learning neural network. This paper first adjusts the network model to make it suitable for detecting small targets on remote sensing images, then uses the k-means algorithm to calculate the grid size of the Yolo network model suitable for geomembrane basins, then uses yolov3 to train the data that makes up the satellite remote sensing imagery. The network model for the detection of the geomembrane basins is obtained by the test phase. Finally, the geomembrane basin detection model adapted to the remote sensing image is obtained in the validation phase. Through the research and analysis of the experimental results, it can be seen that this method effectively detects the geomembrane basins in the remote sensing images and ensures the high detection accuracy of the experimental results, which gave us an accuracy of 75%.

Published: February 2023

Abstract. Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of natural hazards, causing disastrous impacts on vulnerable communities. Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are of particular concern, requiring resilient disaster risk management consisting of two key elements: proactivity and suitability. Drought risk knowledge can inform resilient risk management, but it is currently underexplored in Pacific SIDS, particularly in the highly vulnerable nation of Papua New Guinea (PNG). A tailored, meaning highly specific to the area under investigation, drought risk assessment methodology is key for expanding risk knowledge in vulnerable communities. A semi-dynamic and tailored drought risk assessment methodology to be utilised in PNG was developed in this research. Representative hazard, vulnerability, and exposure indicators were selected, and integrated geographic information
system (GIS) processes were used to produce hazard, vulnerability, exposure,
and risk indices and maps. The validity of the risk assessment was
investigated with a retrospective risk assessment of drought in PNG (from
2014–2020) paired with a literature assessment (as a ground-truth source),
and a sensitivity analysis. The preliminary drought risk assessment
methodology demonstrated in this study was overall deemed valid and robust,
with supplementary improvements proposed for consideration in future
investigation. The developed methodology makes strides in addressing
methodological knowledge gaps in drought risk assessment, for global
assessments and those specific for PNG, and demonstrates the potential for
risk assessment to inform resilient drought management practices in at-risk
areas. Overall, the results of this study directly contribute to enhancing
provincial drought risk knowledge in PNG.
Frontal collapse of San Quintín glacier (Northern Patagonia Icefield), the last piedmont glacier lobe in the Andes
Authors: Pętlicki Michał , Rivera Andrés , Oberreuter Jonathan , Uribe José , Reinthaler Johannes , Bown Francisca
Published: February 2023

Abstract. Glacier fronts are retreating across the globe in response to climate warming, revealing valleys, fjords, and proglacial lakes. The piedmont lobe of San Quintín, the largest glacier of the Northern Patagonia Icefield, in southern Chile, has recently entered a phase of frontal retreat, where its terminus is rapidly disintegrating into large tabular icebergs calving into a new proglacial lake. We present results of a new airborne GPR survey of the terminus of this large Patagonian glacier (763 km2 in 2017), complemented with an analysis of ice flow velocity, satellite imagery, and ice elevation change to show that the ongoing retreat is caused by recent detachment of a floating terminus from the glacier bed and may shortly lead to the disappearance of the last existing piedmont lobe in Patagonia. Finally, we discuss how the observations of San Quintín’s ongoing collapse may give insights into processes governing frontal retreat of fast-flowing temperate glaciers and the quasi-stability of the floating termini.
REMA reveals spatial variability within the Dotson Melt Channel
Authors: Zinck Ann-Sofie Priergaard , Wouters Bert , Lambert Erwin , Lhermitte Stef
Published: February 2023

Abstract. The intrusion of warm circumpolar deep water causes ice shelves in the Amundsen and Bellinghausen Sea Embayments of Antarctica to melt from below, thereby potentially putting their stability at risk. Earlier studies have shown how digital elevation models can be used to obtain high-resolution ice shelf basal melt rates. However, there has been limited availability of high-resolution elevation data, a gap the Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) has filled. In this study we use a novel combination of REMA and CryoSat-2 elevation data to obtain high-resolution basal melt rates of the Dotson Ice Shelf in a Lagrangian framework, at a 50 m spatial resolution on a 3-yearly temporal resolution. We present a novel Basal melt rates Using REMA and Google Earth Engine (BURGEE) method, which high resolution is supported through a sensitivity study assuming that the quality of the Lagrangian displacement is the main error source. The high-resolution basal melt rates show a good agreement with an earlier 500-m resolution basal melt product based on CryoSat-2, with a wide melt channel extending from the grounding line to the ice shelf front. Our high-resolution product indicates that the pathway and spatial variability of the main channel is influenced by a pinning point on the ice shelf. Additionally, it reveals a narrower coastal channel running along the western margin, which was not identified in the lower-resolution melt product, but does show up in a recent ocean modeling study. This emphasizes the importance of high-resolution basal melt rates to expand our understanding of channel formation and melt patterns. BURGEE can be expanded to a Pan-Antarctic study of high-resolution basal melt rates. This will provide a better picture of the (in)stability of Antarctic ice shelves.
Responses of dissolved organic carbon to freeze-thaw cycles associated with the changes in microbial activity and soil structure
Authors: Kim You Jin , Kim Jinhyun , Jung Ji Young
Published: February 2023

Abstract. Arctic warming accelerates snowmelt, exposing soil surfaces with shallow or no snow cover to freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) more frequently in early spring and the late autumn. FTCs influence Arctic soil C dynamics by increasing or decreasing the amount of dissolved organic carbon (DOC); however, mechanisms-based explanation of DOC changes considering other soil biogeochemical properties is limited in previous research. To understand the effects of FTCs on Arctic soil responses, we designed microcosms with surface organic soils from Alaska and investigated several soil biogeochemical changes under seven-successive temperature fluctuations of freezing at -9.0±0.3 °C and thawing at 6.2±0.3 °C for 12 h each. Our study found that FTCs significantly changed the following soil variables: soil respiration, DOC and total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) contents, two DOC quality indices, micro-aggregate distribution, and small-sized mesopore volume. Multivariate statistical analyses supported that the FTCs improved soil structure and functions which led to facilitated DOC decomposition by soil microbes, and changes in DOC quantity and quality by FTCs. This study showed that FTCs affected DOC characteristics without negatively impacting soil microbial respiration activity, as soil microbes had previously adapted to temperature fluctuations in the Arctic. Soil micro-aggregation enhanced by FTCs and the subsequent increase in soil respiration and small-sized pore volume could promote DOC decomposition, eventually decreasing the DOC content in the soil solution. This study provides a mechanism-based interpretation of how FTCs alter DOC characteristics in Arctic soil by incorporating its structural changes and microbial responses, ultimately improving our understanding of Arctic soil C dynamics.
Brief Communication: Effects of different saturation vapor pressure calculations on simulated surface-subsurface hydrothermal regimes at a permafrost field site
Authors: Huang Xiang , Abolt Charles J. , Bennett Katrina E.
Published: February 2023

Abstract. Air saturation vapor pressure (SVP) can be calculated using different formulas, with or without over-ice correction. These different approaches result in variability that affects the simulation of surface-subsurface thermal-hydrological processes in cold regions; however, this topic has not been well documented to date. In this study, we compared the relative humidity (RH) downloaded and calculated from four data sources in Alaska based on five commonly used SVP formulas. RH, along with other meteorological indicators, was used to drive physically-based land surface models. Results show that RH is a sensitive parameter, and its biases from SVP with or without over-ice correction meaningfully impact model-based predictions of snow depth, sublimation, soil temperature, and active layer thickness.

The second article of the series considers the method of theoretical solution to the problem of plants stems sliding cutting with the account for the rheological properties of the material. In the result of solving the differential equation for the behavior of rheological model selected for the stem, the normal and tangential stresses at the contact zone of blade and stem interaction have been determined.
The basic stresses have been determined in the result of the stress states analyses. The obtained results enable to identify the optimal geometric and kinematic parameters, in case of which the sliding cutting can be implemented with minimum energy consumption.
Manifestation of Brucella infection post an accident: A case report
Authors:   Clinical Research Department, Pasteur Institute of Iran, Tehran, Iran., Ramezani Amitis
Published: February 2023

Brucellosis is an endemic infection in Iran, affecting different parts of human body. However, less attention has been paid to accidental injuries among rural inhabitants. Here, we report a rare case of Brucella melitensis infection on a left leg wound following a tibia surgery caused by an accident over 13 years. Therefore, in brucellosis endemic countries, Brucella spp. should be considered as one of the possible causes of further infections as accident consequences. The data highlights the importance of the accurate and on-time identification of an infection cause before prescribingany antibiotics.
Chronic constrictive pericarditis with peripheral edema
Authors:   Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, Ardebil University of Medical Sciences, Iran., Rashid Fatima
Published: February 2023

Constrictive Pericarditis (CP) is a type of diastolic heart failure that occurs because the inelastic pericardium inhibits the filling of the heart. The true population prevalence is unknown, but among those with viral pericarditis, it is estimated to occur in less than 0.5% of cases [1]. Although the causes of CP can be different (idiopathic, post-viral, tuberculosis, post-surgery, radiation-induced, etc). The last end pathological pathway is the development of fibrous thickening or calcification of the pericardium, which leads to pericardial non-compliance [2,3].

A 23 years old lady presented with lower abdominal vague pain and fullness for 6 months. Physical examination revealed a lump in the left lumbar region extending into the pelvis. The upper border was palpable, but the lower limit was not palpable. Computerized tomography of the abdomen revealed a multiloculated cystic lesion with minimal enhancement probably arising from the left adnexa. The right adnexa, uterus, pancreas, spleen appeared normal. Serum tumor markers: CA- 125, alpha-fetoprotein, beta HCG, LDH, and CA-19.9 were within normal limits. Diagnosis of left adnexal complex cystic was made and planned for Fertility preserving staging laparotomy. Intraoperatively, bilateral adnexa and uterus were normal. A large soft multicystic lesion measuring 15 x 10 x 7 cm was noted arising from the tail of the pancreas (Figure 1). No other lesions were noted in the peritoneal cavity. Distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy was performed to achieve R-0 resection. The post-operative hospital stay was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on POD-5. The final histopathological report revealed a multiloculated cyst showing irregular lymphovascular spaces lined by flattened, bland cells within fibroblastic and collagenous stroma suggestive of consistent with cystic lymphangioma of the pancreas. On follow-up, the patient is doing well after 1 year of the surgical excision.

Fungal sinusitis, with passage of time, has become one of the common entities among a long list of inflammatory diseases involving mucosa of the sinonasal tract [1]. By definition, AFS is a collection of cellular debris and mucus in result of an allergic response to fungal colonization in sinus mucosa [2]. The patients are young, atopic with good immunity suffering from nasal blockage, congestion, nasal discharge (purulent or watery), anosmia or headache for several years [1]. On clinical examination nasal polyps are seen [3,4]. The causative organisms are vastly from species of Aspergillus but dermatiaceous fungi are also seen such as Bipolaris, Alternaria, Curvularia and Fusarium [5].
¿Son los derechos del hombre el verdadero objeto de la esperanza humana y la medida de las sociedades políticas? Un examen de la Declaración de los Derechos del Hombre y del Ciudadano de 1789 a la luz de la crítica de Agustín Barruel a las fuentes filosóficas de la Declaración
Authors: Casanova Guerra Carlos Augusto
Published: February 2023

En este artículo se examina la Declaración de los Derechos del Hombre y del Ciudadano de 1789, para rastrear los autores y las obras en que se inspira. Luego se juzga si a la luz de su inspiración filosófica los derechos contenidos en la Declaración pueden realmente constituir el objeto de la esperanza política y un canon adecuado para juzgar a los diversos regímenes políticos. Dichos cánones y esperanza se comparan con los fines y cánones propuestos por los clásicos. La nueva filosofía que condujo a la Declaración llevó también a abandonar la filosofía y experiencia políticas clásicas. Para explicar este abandono, se explora la causa y se cree encontrar en una rebelión y en un nuevo tipo de esperanza. En esta tarea se hace uso de la crítica del abate Agustín Barruel, que pone en contacto el análisis filosófico con los acontecimientos pragmáticos a que llevaron las ideologías que inspiraron la Declaración.

Problems and improvement of the fund management structure in the private equity fund crisis
Authors:   Institute of Legal Myungji Uiversity, Jeong Minhee
Published: February 2023

Lime Asset Management Co. Ltd., Optimus Asset Management Co. Ltd., and Discovery Asset Management Co., Ltd. are the main asset managers in the so-called private fund crisis. In this article, we look at common illegal acts in the fund management structure, and analyze the relationship between the structure and the illegal acts. The three asset management companies all had one thing in common: investment money reached the final investment target assets via a conduit functioning as a reservoir. Plus, all three asset management companies have either finalized sentence or are in the criminal process on fraud due to Ponzi-Scheme, and have received administrative sanctions or are suspected of violating the Public offering regulations. It is analyzed that the reason for such a common phenomenon is that the conduit functioning as a reservoir can play a key role in helping fraud and violation of the public offering regulation.
In addition, in the Optimus case, a criminal trial is underway as it is suspected that the Ponzi scheme was caused by the integrated management of trustee accounts, and Discovery is suspected of reducing investors' access to information by using an additional conduit.
In this article, I would like to suggest three specific ways to improve these problems. The first is to establish a new regulation that shall be deemed to a public offering when debt securities issued by the same issuer are invested in two or more funds and to amend the regulations to include detailed information on conduit in the registration statement. The second is to put a provision to clarify the meaning of separate management obligations in the key specifications. Thirdly, if the fund uses a conduit, it is to limit the establishment of the fund through a self-regulatory organization, and if a fund is established, strengthen the description of the conduit.
Dostoevsky’s Philosophy: A Critical Overview of Its Interpretations and a Definition of Its Contradiction
Authors: Pitari Paolo
Published: February 2023

This article provides an overview of philosophical interpretations of Dostoevsky, focusing on readings that pay particular attention to his representation of the battle between good and evil, and postulating that said representation constitutes the essence of his works. The analysis maps this history of interpretations as developing within a specific framework: the dispute between interpreters who argue that good triumphs in Dostoevsky’s works and those who maintain that nihilism prevails in the end. In this context, the article submits its own thesis: that a fundamental contradiction haunts the offer, in Dostoevsky’s works, of Christian salvation, and condemns Dostoevsky to defeat at the hands of his nihilists.
Metonymy, Presence, and the Ethics of Imagination in Postmemorial Writing: Andra Manfelde’s Zemnīcas bērni and Katja Petrowskaja’s Maybe Esther
Authors: Ostups Artis
Published: February 2023

This article engages with two third-generation narratives of totalitarian trauma—Latvian writer Andra Manfelde’s prose work Zemnīcas bērni (The children of the bunker, 2010) and German writer Katja Petrowskaja’s autobiographical novel Maybe Esther (Vielleicht Esther, 2014)—to demonstrate the substantial role of metonymy in postmemorial writing where it serves the function of reactivating the troubling past. The author’s theoretical departure point is the observation that metonymy has been overlooked within the emphasis on the archive as the empirical basis of postmemorial prose. Metonymical connections between the past and the present are implied in Marianne Hirsch’s (2012) concept “points of memory.” However, her concept seems suited more for explaining the affective power of family photographs, while postmemorial texts are full of all kinds of metonymies: not just images, but also names, dates, and objects, able to enforce the presence of the past. In order to account for these metonymical signs encountered by autobiographical narrators in their storyworlds and made present on the level of narrative discourse, the article suggests turning to Eelco Runia’s (2014) philosophical conception of metonymy as a transfer of presence. The final aspect discussed here is the way metonymy enables ethical imagination.
Understanding and Embracing Culture in International Faculty Development
Authors: Mortaz Hejri Sara , Vyas Rashmi , Burdick William P. , Steinert Yvonne
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Research on international faculty development programs (IFDPs) has demonstrated many positive outcomes; however, participants’ cultural backgrounds, beliefs, and behaviors have often been overlooked in these investigations. The goal of this study was to explore the influences of culture on teaching and learning in an IFDP.
Method: Using interpretive description as the qualitative methodology, the authors conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 Fellows and 5 Faculty of a US-based IFDP. The authors iteratively performed a constant comparative analysis to identify similar patterns and themes. Transformative Learning Theory informed the analysis and interpretation of the results.
Results: This research identified three themes related to the influences of culture on teaching and learning. First, cultural differences were not seen as a barrier to learning; instead, they tended to act as a bridge to cultural awareness and network building. Second, some cultural differences produced a sense of unease and uncertainty, which led to adaptations, modifications, or mediation. Third, context mattered, as participants’ perspectives were also influenced by the program culture and their professional backgrounds and experiences.
Discussion: The cultural diversity of health professions educators in an IFDP did not impede learning. A commitment to future action, together with the ability to reflect critically and engage in dialectical discourse, enabled participants to find constructive solutions to subtle challenges. Implications for faculty development included the value of enhanced cultural awareness and respect, explicit communication about norms and expectations, and building on shared professional goals and experiences.
Ethnomedicinal importance of Fabaceae family (Angiosperms) among the tribes of Rajasthan, India
Authors: Shreya Raj , Sharma Bhawana , Alam Afroz , Sharma Supriya
Published: February 2023

Among angiosperms, the Fabaceae (Leguminosae) family is well known for providing traditional or ethnic food and medicine. This family has three subfamilies with approximately 665 genera and 17500 species worldwide, with approximately 1100 species and 100 genera represented in India. Astragalus (>3000 species), Acacia (>1000 species), and Indigofera (>700 species) are the largest genera in this family. Many species in these genera have been identified as producing a variety of phytochemicals, including 3-nitropropanoic acid, a powerful mycotoxin. Almost every tribal community in India is aware of the medicinal uses of leguminous plants. In this regard, India's arid state can be regarded as an extremely rich territory; thus, a review of the scientific literature on their phytochemical characteristics and ethnomedicinal uses is expected to contribute to the further exploration and utilization of members of this large plant family.

Objective: The study sought to determine if the arrival of patients experiencing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or cerebrovascular accident to the emergency department (ED) was delayed due to fear of COVID-19, among other factors. Both these disease processes are time-dependent, and great efforts have been made to intervene in this pathology quickly to help improve patient-centered outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective, case-control study was conducted using data from patient records from March to June 2019 and March to June 2020 from Spring Valley Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Chi-square analyses were performed to determine whether times to presentation for STEMIs and embolic strokes differed between 2019 and 2020 and between March and June using the times to present during the months following the U.S. COVID-19 emergency declaration on March 13th, 2020 (March, April, May, and June). The 432 STEMI and 183 stroke activations were reported during these months.

Results: The results displayed an increase in presentation time for STEMI complaints (χ2 [3, N = 2289] = 109.8, p < 0.01) and for stroke complaints (χ2 [3, N = 1011] = 182.8, p < 0.01). The increase in times to presentation for STEMI and embolic stroke patients in the months following the emergency declaration compared to the year prior suggests that patients delayed presentation to the ED.

Conclusion: During the pandemic, there was an increase in time to seek treatment for STEMI and embolic stroke patients from the onset of symptoms to their arrival at the ED. This was likely due to patients’ hesitancy to seek treatment due to fear of contracting COVID-19, scarce emergency medical services (EMS) resources, and the flux of new hospital-based virus screening. Data from stroke patients was more heterogenous, likely due to both patients and observers being able to activate the EMS system. These findings may support changes to future public health pandemic guidelines and health education.

Geopolymers, primarily composed of fly ash, have proved an excellent substitute for ordinary portland cement (OPC) in terms of sustainability and productivity. In order to determine the geopolymer concrete's (GPC) resistance to chemical assaults and water permeability, it is necessary to obtain geopolymer concrete (GPC) of varying strengths after normal curing. The objectives of the research was to test the durability performances of the GPC of various strength under normal curing and investigating the optimum strength based on durability testing of the GPC. For this research, different type of cement-to-fly ash ratio was used for various strength data. The appropriate mixture was conducted by using the trial mix method in order to obtain better accuracy of the results data during the mixing design process.  To satisfy the varied strength designs, a small proportion of OPC is added to the GPC mixture as part of the mix design. After 28 days of curing, this durability testing is undertaken after the concrete has reached its maximum strength. The compressive strength test and weights were performed and compared to the GPC mix design at 60  °C after heat curing. The 8% OPC replacement has greater resistance to sulfate attack, saltwater exposure, and water permeability compared to the 6% and 7% OPC alternatives. Consequently, the experiment reveals that the GPC's durability and strength increase as the percentage of OPC increases.

An integrated AHP MCDM based Type-2 Neutrosophic Model for Assessing the Effect of Security in Fog-based IoT Framework
Authors:   Department of Computer Science, College of Computers and Information Technology, Taif University, P.O. Box 11099, Taif 21944, Saudi Arabia, Alshehri Mohammad D.

The term Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of connected, intelligent devices that are responsible for the collecting and dissemination of data. Because technology automates the tasks we do daily, our lives have become simpler as a result. However, with a typical architecture for the cloud and the Internet of Things, real-time data processing is not always practicable. This is particularly true for latency-sensitive apps. This eventually resulted in the development of fog computing. On the one hand, the fog layer may perform computations and data processing at the very edge of the network, which enables it to provide results more quickly. On the other hand, this pushes the attack surface closer to the machines themselves, which is a security risk. Because of this, the sensitive data that is stored on the layer is now susceptible to assaults. Therefore, considering the security of the fog-IoT is of the utmost significance. A system or platform's level of security is determined by a number of different elements. When it comes to conducting an accurate risk assessment, the sequence in which these considerations are considered is of the utmost importance. Because of this, determining the level of security offered by fog and IoT devices becomes a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) dilemma. This article presents a two-stage hybrid multi-criteria decision-making model that is based on type-2 neutrosophic numbers (T2NNs). The goal of this article is to give scientists and practitioners a decision-making tool that is both easy and versatile. The initial step of this process is determining the weights of criteria by the AHP method in the T2NN environment. Second, the T2NN-based Multi-Attributive Border Approximation area Comparison (MABAC) method is used to rank the various fog security based on IoT. Both of these methods are described in more detail below. With the help of the comparison study, the high reliability and robustness of the combined AHP and MABAC based type-2 neutrosophic model have been proven.
Betegség következtében különleges bánásmódot igénylő gyermekek nevelését segítő speciális pedagógiai eszközök
Authors: Sándor Zita
Published: February 2023

A betegséggel küzdő gyermekek speciális oktatása-nevelése kiemelten fontos feladat, ugyanis egy súlyos betegég és annak kelezése miatt a tanulók akár hónapokra kieshetnek a formális oktatásból. Tanításuk nem csupán a napi tananyagban való előrehaladás miatt fontos, a megfelelően kivitelezett oktatói-nevelői munka ugyanis a beteg gyermekek jóllétéhez is jótékonyan hozzájárulhat. Az iskolai életbe való integrálásuk – akár a digitális pedagógia módszereit felhasználva – pedig segíthet elkerülni a szociális izolációt, és annak negatív hatásait. A kórházpedagógia, mint a beteg gyermekek oktatásával-nevelésével foglalkozó tudományterület megfelelő elméleti és gyakorlati alapot teremt a beteg gyermekek oktatásának feladatához. Bár a szakterület mind haza mind nemzetközi szinten több évtizedes múltra tekint vissza, sajnálatos módon hazánkban még mindig sok gyermek számára nem érhető el kórházpedagógiai szolgáltatás. A beteg gyermekek oktatása egy speciális feladat, melyhez a pedagógusoknak speciális ismeretekre és készségekre van szükségük. A pedagógusoknak kapcsolódniuk kell a gyógyító team tagjaihoz, a szülőkhöz, az anyaiskola pedagógusaihoz, az osztályközösséghez, és ami a legfontosabb, a betegséggel küzdő diákhoz. Fontos a kórházpedagógus empátiás készsége, melynek segítségével rá tud hangolódni a beteg gyermek személyiségére, betegségéből és annak kezeléséből adódó sajátosságokra, valamint az aktuális lelkiállapotára, és erre rezonálva alakítja ki az oktatás módszerét. A hatékony pedagógiai folyamat érdekében kiemelten lényeges a megfelelő oktatási program létrehozása beteg gyermekek oktatásával-nevelésével foglalkozó szakemberek számára. Erre az igényre reagálva a Gál Ferenc Egyetememen 30 órás oktatási program kidolgozása valósult meg. A képzés során betegség pszichés-, szociális- és kognitív következményeivel kapcsolatos elméleti ismeretek átadásán túl hangsúlyt kap a pedagógusok segítő készségeinek fejlesztése, kórházi közeghez illeszkedő oktatás módszerek és eszközök bemutatása, valamint a pedagógusok lelki egészségvédelmének témaköre.
