Published: November 2022

A inclusão de estudantes com deficiência visual na Educação Superior é um desafio, por conta de barreiras metodológicas e por vezes, atitudinais. Considerando este aspecto, a adaptação de materiais didáticos é de extrema importância para este público. O presente estudo caracteriza-se como descritivo e possui abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, sendo realizado em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior localizada na Região Sul do Brasil. Durante os anos de 2019 a 2022 foram adaptados cerca de 170 materiais. Todo o processo é realizado visando um trabalho de adaptação singular para cada estudante. Concluímos que a adaptação de materiais didáticos deve ser realizada objetivando a inclusão dos estudantes com deficiência visual e que promova a acessibilidade necessária que envolvam o contexto acadêmico no ensino superior.

Todo ser humano ao nascer aos poucos vai passando por fases de desenvolvimento, contudo, podem ocorrer mudanças bruscas e foi o que ocorreu com Elaine Luzia dos Santos, que no decurso do terceiro ano de Medicina na Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná – Unioeste, foi acometida de um Acidente Vascular Cerebral; após meses de recuperação e reabilitação, a acadêmica retorna à Universidade. Para tanto, recebeu o Atendimento Educacional Especializado – AEE, como balizar para a inclusão pelos profissionais do Programa Institucional de Ações Relativas às Pessoas com Necessidades Especiais – PEE. O objetivo é narrar momentos desse processo, no qual teceu-se um recorte do Internato no Hospital Universitário do Oeste do Paraná – HUOP. O arcabouço teórico utilizado para a elaboração deste artigo envolve documentos legais em âmbito mundial e nacional, além de autores como: Vigotski (1997), Castro et al. (2008), Diniz (2012), entre outros. Ressaltamos que todo o aparato estruturado para o retorno da acadêmica juntamente com sua determinação e vontade de vencer foi fundamental para o êxito de sua caminhada.

A crescente presença de pessoas com deficiência nos diversos contextos sociais, impulsionada pela promulgação de recursos legais que garantem essa participação, vem imprimindo seus reflexos nos estudantes matriculados nos cursos de língua estrangeira. A figuração destes nos cursos de idioma, têm suscitado novas questões que intentam atender as demandas especificas, promovendo sua participação nas aulas e oportunizando a apropriação do idioma desejado. Buscando contribuir com os referidos debates, está descrito no presente trabalho algumas particularidades e desafios que aconteceram durante o percurso educacional de um aluno cego que se propõe a aprender uma língua estrangeira. Para tanto, retratamos as percepções a partir de duas perspectivas distintas e complementares, quais sejam: a do estudante com deficiência visual e a da sua docente de Atendimento Educacional Especializado. Os desafios apontam para a inexistência de uma formação docente na área específica do ensino de idiomas para pessoas com deficiência, evidenciam os obstáculos na adaptação dos materiais e revela ainda a escassez de pesquisas voltadas à temática.

Published: November 2022

O artigo buscou analisar as transformações ocorridas na economia tocantinense nas últimas décadas. A ênfase recaiu sobre os principais setores econômicos, notadamente indústria, serviços e agronegócio. A metodologia é o Quociente Locacional (QL), utilizado para analisar os setores do IBGE, para os anos de 2000, 2010 e 2020. As principais considerações apontam que, percentualmente, os setores econômicos mantiveram sua participação constante no PIB durante o período, o que corrobora para um aquecimento econômico menos intenso, houve localização significativa nos municípios tocantinenses de setores importantes e o esforço empreendido tem gerado um maior QL da produção agropecuária, que representa o principal setor econômico em ascensão, mesmo sendo os serviços a maior participação no Valor Adicionado Bruto (VAB) do PIB, esse cenário deixa a economia suscetível a crises e pouca mobilidade na distribuição de renda e geração de empregos.
Abstract: The paper sought to analyze the changes that have taken place in the economy of Tocantins in recent decades. The emphasis was on the main economic sectors, notably industry, services, and agribusiness. The methodology is the Location Quotient (QL), used to analyze the IBGE sectors for the years 2000, 2010, and 2020. The main considerations point out that, in percentage, the economic sectors maintained their constant participation in the GDP during the period, which corroborates with little dynamism in its economic activities. Furthermore, there was a significant location in the Tocantins municipalities of important sectors, and the effort undertaken has generated a higher QL of agricultural production, which represents the primary economic sector on the rise, even though services have the highest participation in the Gross Value Added (GVA) of GDP. This scenario leaves the economy susceptible to crises and little mobility in income distribution and job creation.

As organizações tem adotado um novo estilo de gestão e divulgação de suas práticas sustentáveis para seus públicos de interesse, combinando eficiência econômica, responsabilidade social e ambiental, para serem percebidas como legítimas na sociedade. O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar como duas empresas de grande porte do COREDE Missões/RS divulgam as práticas sustentáveis adotadas, sob as perspectivas das Economias Ambiental e Ecológica. Ambas desenvolvem medidas de prevenção e recuperação ambiental, por exigência legal, do mercado ou por gestão estratégica, caracterizando assim noção do contrato social existente entre as empresas e a sociedade. Os achados da pesquisa evidenciam uma preocupação com o meio ambiente muito mais voltada ao desenvolvimento sustentável do modelo tipicamente capitalista, hegemônico, antropocêntrico do que no sentido contrário, do ecodesenvolvimento e a divulgação aos stakeholders reforça muito mais o caráter de marketing institucional de cumprimento às normas e leis impostas do que a efetiva consciência de sustentabilidade ambiental.
Abstract: Organizations had adopted a new style of management and disclosure of their sustainable practices with their stakeholders, one that combines economic efficiency, social and environmental responsibility, so that they are perceived as legitimate in society. The research objective was to analyze how two large companies in COREDE Missões/RS are disclosing the sustainable practices adopted in order, under the perspectives of Environmental Economics or Ecological Economics. Both develop measures of environmental prevention and recovery, by legal requirement, market or strategic management, thus characterizing the notion of the existing social contract between companies and society. The research findings show a concern with the environment that is much more focused on sustainable development of the typically capitalist, hegemonic, anthropocentric model, than in the opposite direction, of ecodevelopment and the disclosure to stakeholders reinforces much more the character of institutional marketing of compliance with imposed norms and laws than the effective awareness of environmental sustainability.

Published: November 2022

Software-defined network (SDN) is a network architecture that is used to build, and design the hardware components virtually. We can dynamically change the settings of network connections. In the traditional network, it's not possible to change dynamically, because it's a fixed connection. SDN is a good approach but still is vulnerable to DDoS attacks. The DDoS attack is managed on the internet. To prevent the DDoS attack, the machine learning algorithm can be used. The DDoS attack is the multiple collaborated systems that are used to target a particular server at the same time. In SDN control layer is in the center that links with the application and infrastructure layer, where the devices in the infrastructure layer are controlled by the software. In this paper, we propose a machine learning technique namely a Decision Tree to detect malicious traffic. Our test outcome shows that the Decision Tree detects whether the attack is safe or not.

Published: November 2022

The honey pineapple fruit (Ananas comous(L) Merr) is a fruit that is produced by Indonesian farmers. The sweet flavour of the honey pineapple depends on the water content level in the honey pineapple. The honey pineapple is a fruit that spoils easily. The storage period of the pineapple is between 1-7 days with a temperature of under 220C. The objective of this research is to identify the characteristics of probiotic fermented drinks made from the honey pineapple fruit, with the addition of spices such as ginger, cinnamon, and a percentage of palm sugar. There are two treatments in processing, based on the ratio of added ingredients, P1 = 60%pineapple fruit; 20% cane sugar; 10% ginger; 10% cinnamon, P2 = 60%pineapple fruit; 25% cane sugar; 10% ginger; 5% cinnamon. The observed variables are the pH of the drink and the temperature during the hour of observation. The measured test standard was adjusted to the SNI (Indonesian National Standard) 3719-2014 of produced fruit juice on the quality of fruit juice drinks, with the provision of having a distinct smell, flavour, and colour in normal conditions. The results organoleptically obtained result was that the percentage of palm sugar during the third and fifth measurement hour had a high score from 10 panellists, which was a level (4) strong smell with the duration of the ripening day. The pH level test did not differ much in P1(20% palm sugar) and P2(25% palm sugar) substituted in the pineapple fruit juice, which was 3.3 – 5.0.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: The frailty index’s potential as a prognostic marker of sepsis is so far been untapped. Here we studied the predictive value of frailty index in the elderly with sepsis. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary level hospital in North India. The duration of the study was 18 months starting from January 2020 to July 2021. The frailty index was calculated along with traditional markers of sepsis such as sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA), and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) within 24 hours of admission in elderly patients suspected to have sepsis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of frailty index, SOFA, qSOFA, and SIRS was compared for in-hospital and 3-month mortality. Results: There was no significant difference between the performance of the frailty index and SOFA (DeLong’s test p = 0.242) in predicting in-hospital mortality, but there was a statistical difference between the AUROC of SOFA score (AUC = 0.548) and frailty in predicting 3-month mortality (DeLong’s test p ≤0.001). Conclusion: The frailty index had greater sensitivity and negative predictive value among the other scores in predicting in-hospital mortality, whereas SOFA had higher specificity in predicting in-hospital mortality. The frailty index was superior to SOFA and the other prognostic markers of sepsis in predicting 3-month mortality

Published: November 2022

Os estudos sobre a parábola nos livros-texto é algo corriqueiro, diferente da curva catenária, mesmo ambas tendo certassimilaridades. A catenária foi alvo de grandes discussões dentro da História da Matemática e da evolução do CálculoDiferencial, mas a discussão sobre ela ainda é limitada nos livros-texto utilizados nas licenciaturas e raramente émencionada no decorrer da educação básica. O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar um estudo destas curvas, apresentando suas similaridades e diferenças com o aporte do software GeoGebra para sua visualização, manipulação e compreensão matemática. Para tal, utilizamos como metodologia a Engenharia Didática (ED) em suas duas primeiras fases, análises preliminares e análise a priori, em que buscamos fazer um levantamento histórico, epistemológico e didático sobre estas curvas, bem como apresentar uma construção no GeoGebra como proposta didática, visando subsidiar a metodologia docente ao versar sobre este tema com amparo da tecnologia digital.
Classification of Viral, Bacterial, And Covid-19 Pneumonia using Deep Learning Framework from Chest X-Ray Images

Published: November 2022

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a highly contagious infectious disease. Even though there is a large pool of articles that showed the potential of using chest X-ray images in COVID-19 detection, a detailed study using a wide range of pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) encoders-based deep learning framework in screening viral, bacterial, and COVID-19 pneumonia are still missing. Deep learning network training is challenging without a properly annotated huge database. Transfer learning is a crucial technique for transferring knowledge from real-world object classification tasks to domain-specific tasks, and it may offer a viable answer. Although COVID-19 infection on the lungs and bacterial and viral pneumonia shares many similarities, they are treated differently. Therefore, it is crucial to appropriately diagnose them. The authors have compiled a large X-ray dataset (QU-MLG-COV) consisting of 16,712 CXR images with 8851 normal, 3616 COVID-19, 1485 viral, and 2740 bacterial pneumonia CXR images. We employed image pre-processing methods and 21 deep pre-trained CNN encoders to extract features, which were then dimensionality reduced using principal component analysis (PCA) and classified into 4-classes. We trained and evaluated every cutting-edge pre-trained network to extract features to improve performance. CheXNet surpasses other networks for identifying COVID-19, Bacterial, Viral, and Normal, with an accuracy of 98.89 percent, 97.87 percent, 97.55 percent, and 99.09 percent, respectively. The deep layer network found significant overlaps between viral and bacterial images. The paper validates the network learning from the relevant area of the images by Score-CAM visualization. The performance of the various pre-trained networks is also thoroughly examined in the paper in terms of both inference time and well-known performance criteria.
Improving Robustness of Age and Gender Prediction based on Custom Speech Data
Authors: Kandasamy Veera Vignesh , Bera Anup
Published: November 2022

With the increased use of human-machine interaction via voice enabled smart devices over the years, there are growing demands for better accuracy of the speech analytics systems. Several studies show that speech analytics system exhibits bias towards speaker demographics, such age, gender, race, accent etc. To avoid such a bias, speaker demographic information can be used to prepare training dataset for the speech analytics model. Also, speaker demographic information can be used for targeted advertisement, recommendation, and forensic science. In this research we will demonstrate some algorithms for age and gender prediction from speech data with our custom dataset that covers speakers from around the world with varying accents. In order to extract speaker age and gender from speech data, we’ve also included a method for determining the appropriate length of audio file to be ingested into the system, which will reduce computational time. This study also identifies the most effective padding and cropping mechanism for obtaining the best results from the input audio file. We investigated the impact of various parameters on the performance and end-to-end implementation of a real-time speaker age and gender information extraction system. Our best model has a RMSE value of 4.1 for age prediction and 99.5% for gender prediction on custom test dataset.
Edgeways Logic: The Space and Language of In-betweenness in New Delhi’s Roadside Shrines
Authors: Parciack Ronie , Brara Rita
Published: November 2022

This article focuses on the vernacular spaces of roadside tombs—or mazaars—of anonymous saints (commonly referred to as ‘Zinda Pir Baba’) in the heart of the contemporary Indian capital, New Delhi. These mazaars are located along the megacity's main roads and constitute a shared space where Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs perform rituals in ways that do not classify or identify them as members of rival religious communities. The custodians of grave-shrines shape and reshape social and religious inclusiveness along vernacular and contemporary planes. Simultaneously, the makeshift environments of grave-shrines create a space of in-betweenness that ruptures gender roles, sidelines histories of power, and contests urban planning in India’s capital city.

Silence, Exile and Cunning: Concealment and Worship at the Holy Infant Jesus Church, Bangalore
Authors: Ghosh Devleena
Published: November 2022

In the context of escalating religious tensions in India, sites that still openly welcome practitioners of different belief systems or encourage a propensity for interreligious ritual engagement face a range of complex challenges. At the Holy Infant Jesus Church in Bangalore, there is a shrine set aside for people of non-Christian religions, both Hindu and Muslim, who view this deity as a jagrata or ‘awake’ god who responds to the ‘desire’ of the supplicant, granting boons and wishes. Despite the contemporary hardening of boundaries and the quest for religious purity, this site exhibits the persisting appeal of ritual engagement across religious boundaries. The consequence of such engagement is not always open connections or dialogue but rather concealment of syncretic practices from others in the supplicants’ communities. Against this background, this presentation explores the following questions: Is religion a site of interaction rather than of intra-communal withdrawal? Is religious synthesis an endangered mode of cosmopolitanism now threatened by multiple quests for religious purity? Why are some syncretic practices more resilient than others and how do people engaged in such practices make sense of what remains and what is lost?

Experiências religiosas de comunidade no ciberespaço
Authors: Chagas Hudson Ramos Santos das
Published: November 2022

Na terceira década após o surgimento da internet, seu desenvolvimento e sua expansão por todo o globo exercem um impacto direto sobre as relações sociais contemporâneas. Nesse cenário também se inserem as instituições religiosas. Este livro analisa como uma das lideranças católicas brasileiras em maior evidência, o padre Reginaldo Manzotti, tem se apropriado de espaços nas redes sociais digitais para fomentar proselitismo e propagar dogmas e crenças religiosas, ao mesmo tempo que promove e estimula uma modalidade peculiar de experiência religiosa de comunidade no ciberespaço. As interações entre os fiéis-fãs e o religioso em sua página na rede social digital Facebook constituem aqui um corpus plural, dividido entre notícias, celebrações religiosas, pregações, canções, publicidade e depoimentos pessoais, material analisado a partir de uma metodologia híbrida que envolve a Netnografia (Kozinets), para o estudo etnográfico da comunidade online, e postulados da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa (AD), entre outros referenciais teóricos. Três elementos-base descritos pelo autor caracterizariam a experiência religiosa de comunidade online: a Identificação; a Interação; e a Presença. A concomitância dos mesmos, em um contexto de midiatização da religiosidade e busca pela experiência com o sagrado, seria a chave para a concretização do sentimento de pertencimento à comunidade religiosa na internet. Segundo a profa. Karla Patriota (UFPE), uma leitura indispensável para todos aqueles que, hoje, desejam entender os diversos diálogos, negociações e entrelaçamentos entre os campos da religião, da mídia e das experiências comunicacionais.
Transmedia Awareness of the Media Audience (Ukrainian-Turkish Contexts)
Authors:   National Technical University «Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute», Goroshko Olena , Bilgili Can ,   World Experience Campus Foundation, LLC
Published: November 2022

The article depicts transmedia projects in Turkey and Ukraine. The main focus concentrates on the competencies of transmedia audiences. The research objective is to examine the awareness level of television audiences about transmedia on various social media platforms. The research methods and techniques include Ukrainian expert interviews and the data obtained through an online survey. The sample includes 561 Turkish and 356 Ukrainian media consumers. Results reveal that Ukrainian media consumers, who state that they obtain the truth through social media, reject television as a source of trustworthy information. Turkish media consumers demonstrate that they tend to take reality from television as it is, although they accept TV content as fiction. As the time allocated to social media increases, it is clear that especially Turkish media consumers' trust in television decreases, and they find social media more reputable in the truth widespread. A similar situation is clearly observed with Ukrainian media consumers. It is seen that the rate of accepting television as a source of information increases as the viewing rates grow up in both countries. As this ratio rises, it is seen that trust in social media decreases. Conclusions assert that the evaluation of the television and social media as fiction is not affected by the viewing time. Although the majority of media consumers from both Ukraine and Turkey state that television or social media influence people's daily life, however, they do not think that they have the same impact on their own lives. With the increase in the education level of media consumers in both countries, it is seen that the rate of accepting television as a medium that conveys facts has decreased. The change in education level does not cause a striking differentiation in the evaluation of social media trust as in television. Participants of both countries agree that television presents a powerful propaganda tool. Keywords: convergence, media audience, social media, transmedia, TV audience, Turkey, Ukraine.
FEATURES OF EATING DISORDERS OF PERSONS WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA OVER 45 YEARS
Authors:   Belarusian State Medical University, S.N. Shubina
Published: November 2022

Eating disorders occur in both women and men of all ages. Age-related medical complications, the stigmatization of eating disorders at «atypical» ages, and occasional sports often prevent the recognition of eating disorders in middle and old age. The timely diagnosis of these disorders in patients with schizophrenia is aggravated due to the interpretation of this problem by psychiatrists as a result of taking neuroleptic drugs and the presence of abulia in the clinical picture. The aim of the work is to discuss possible eating disorders of females with schizophrenia older than 45 years. The author describes one clinical case of a patient with schizophrenia with deviant eating behavior, demonstrating the exceptional importance of timely diagnosis of anorexia syndrome in the work of a psychiatrist. It also provides data from a review of the literature on the epidemiology of eating disorders of women and men of middle and old age.

A new concept of the formation of emotional burnout syndrome is proposed, where its main aspects are considered from the point of view of violations of the spatio-temporal organization of man associated with working with people. It is shown that the main cause of these violations is the progressive insufficiency of the time spiral – the basic element of the individual spatio-temporal model responsible for the production of internal energy of the human body, resulting in the devastation of this model. It was demonstrated that the clinical manifestations of this syndrome are formed in accordance with these changes.

This part reveals the essence of the malabsorption syndromes and importance in their clinical manifestations and losses for the body. Knowledge of the details of clinical manifestations in the loss of proteins, fats, carbohydrates allows you to hear in complaints, and ask, and see during a physical examination. The clinical manifestations of hypovitaminosis as a result of malabsorption syndrome are highlighted. They are very numerous: weight loss, steatorrhea, numbness of the toes and hands, ossolgia, signs of hypoglycemia after eating sweets, the appearance of edema, endocrine insufficiency, fatigue, irritability, memory impairment, sleep, shortness of breath and palpitations. Changes in the mucous membranes and skin with hypovitaminosis are angular stomatitis, cheilosis with cracks in the corners of the mouth and on the lips, peeling of the skin, glossitis. All clinical symptoms with malabsorbtia concern not only the digestive organs, but have signs of systemic losses of the body, its organs and tissues. Therefore, there are complaints and clinical manifestations of the central and peripheral nervous system, cardiovascular, changes in the mucosa, skin and its appendages, etc. The main clinical manifestations of electrolyte disorders in malabsorption are reflected.

Abstract. Isoprene nitrates are important chemical species in the atmosphere
which contribute to the chemical cycles that form ozone and secondary
organic aerosol (SOA) with implications for climate and air quality.
Accurate chemical mechanisms are important for the prediction of the
atmospheric chemistry of species such as isoprene nitrates in chemical
models. In recent years, studies into the chemistry of isoprene nitrates
have resulted in the development of a range of mechanisms available for use
in the simulation of atmospheric isoprene oxidation. This work uses a 0-D
chemical box model to assess the ability of three chemically detailed
mechanisms to predict the observed diurnal profiles of four groups of
isoprene-derived nitrates in the summertime in the Chinese megacity of
Beijing. An analysis of modelled C5H9NO5 isomers, including
isoprene hydroperoxy nitrate (IPN) species, highlights the significant
contribution of non-IPN species to the C5H9NO5 measurement,
including the potentially large contribution of nitrooxy hydroxyepoxide
(INHE). The changing isomer distribution of isoprene hydroxy nitrates (IHNs) derived from OH-initiated and NO3-initiated chemistry is discussed, as
is the importance of up-to-date alkoxy radical chemistry for the accurate
prediction of isoprene carbonyl nitrate (ICN) formation. All mechanisms
under-predicted C4H7NO5 as predominately formed from the
major isoprene oxidation products, methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) and
methacrolein (MACR). This work explores the current capability of existing
chemical mechanisms to accurately represent isoprene nitrate chemistry in
urban areas significantly impacted by anthropogenic and biogenic chemical
interactions. It suggests considerations to be taken when investigating
isoprene nitrates in ambient scenarios, investigates the potential impact of
varying isomer distributions on iodide chemical ionisation mass spectrometry
(I−-CIMS) calibrations, and makes some proposals for the future development of isoprene mechanisms.

Abstract. The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) was a
limb-viewing infrared Fourier transform spectrometer that operated from 2002
to 2012 aboard the Environmental Satellite (ENVISAT). The final
re-processing of the full MIPAS mission Level 2 data was performed with the
ESA operational version 8 (v8) processor. This MIPAS dataset
includes not only the retrieval results of pressure–temperature and the standard species
H2O, O3, HNO3, CH4, N2O, and NO2 but also
vertical profiles of volume mixing ratios of the more difficult-to-retrieve
molecules N2O5, ClONO2, CFC-11, CFC-12 (included since v6
processing), HCFC-22, CCl4, CF4, COF2, and HCN (included
since v7 processing). Finally, vertical profiles of the species
C2H2, C2H6, COCl2, OCS, CH3Cl, and HDO were
additionally retrieved by the v8 processor. The balloon-borne limb-emission sounder MIPAS-B was a precursor of the MIPAS satellite instrument. Several flights with MIPAS-B were carried out during the 10-year operational phase of ENVISAT at different latitudes and seasons, including both operational periods when MIPAS measured with full spectral resolution (FR mode) and with optimised spectral resolution (OR mode). All MIPAS operational products (except HDO) were compared to results inferred from dedicated validation limb sequences of MIPAS-B. To enhance the statistics of vertical profile comparisons, a trajectory match method has been applied to search for MIPAS coincidences along the 2 d forward and backward trajectories running from the MIPAS-B measurement geolocations. This study gives an overview of the validation results based on the ESA operational v8 data comprising the MIPAS FR and OR observation periods. This includes an assessment of the data agreement of both sensors, taking into account the combined errors of the instruments. The differences between the retrieved temperature profiles of both MIPAS instruments generally stays within ±2 K in the stratosphere. For most gases – namely H2O, O3, HNO3, CH4, N2O, NO2, N2O5, ClONO2, CFC-11, CFC-12, HCFC-22, CCl4, CF4, COF2, and HCN – we find a 5 %–20 % level of agreement for the retrieved vertical profiles of both MIPAS instruments in the lower stratosphere. For the species C2H2, C2H6, COCl2, OCS, and CH3Cl, however, larger differences (within 20 %–50 %) appear in this altitude range.
Raindrop size distribution (DSD) during the passage of tropical cyclone Nivar: effect of measuring principle and wind on DSDs and retrieved rain integral and polarimetric parameters from impact and laser disdrometers
Authors: Radhakrishna Basivi
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Raindrop size distribution (DSD) observations during the passage of landfalling tropical cyclone Nivar by impact (JWD) and laser (LPM and PARSIVEL) disdrometers are used to unveil the DSD characteristics in the eyewall as well as the inner and outer rainbands. Disdrometer measurements collected at the same location are used to study the effect of wind, measuring principle, and hardware processing on the DSDs and, in turn, on estimated rain integral and polarimetric parameters. The concentration of raindrops of diameters between 0.7 and 1.5 mm increases with rain rate (R) in all the regions of Nivar, while the magnitude of the increase is higher in the eyewall than in the inner and outer rainbands. The DSD characteristics reveal that for a given R, relatively larger reflectivity (Z) and mass-weighted mean diameter (Dm) are found in the outer rainband, and smaller Z and Dm are found in the eyewall than in other regions of a tropical cyclone (TC). Raindrops of diameter 3 mm in size are observed frequently in inner and outer rainbands; however, they are infrequent in the eyewall at R greater than 5 mm h−1. The DSDs and estimated rain integral and polarimetric parameters are distinctly different for various disdrometers at similar environmental conditions. Raindrops greater than 3 mm in size are infrequent in the JWD recordings, while they are frequent in the LPM and PARSIVEL, indicating that LPM and PARSIVEL overestimate the raindrop size when the fall path deviates from nadir due to horizontal wind. The wind effect on the recorded DSD as well as estimated rain integral and polarimetric parameters are not uniform in various regions of Nivar for different disdrometers as the measuring principle and hardware processing further influence these effects. Along with the differences in measured DSD spectra, the resonance effects at X band for raindrops greater than 3 mm cause variations in the estimated polarimetric parameters between the disdrometers.
