Circuitos fechados de televisão
Authors: Arçari André
Published: June 2024

O ensaio busca analisar, a partir dos primórdios da videoarte em idos de 1970, a constituição das imagens geradas por CCTV - Closed-Circuit Television (CFTV-Circuito Fechado de Televisão) como constituintes das obras Live-Taped Video Corridor (1970) e Four Corner Piece (1971) de Bruce Nauman, bem como na videoinstalação Observation of observation: indeterminacy (1973) de Peter Weibel. Busca-se pensar o processo da formação da imagem por esses aparelhos e suas implicações como dispositivos de bloqueio real/virtual da insegurança e do medo, advindos de uma indústria consolidada a qual supomos existir, construídos social e culturalmente. Em diálogo com os artistas, o ensaio retoma um texto de Rosalind Krauss sobre video e narcisismo (1976) e os conceitos de sociedade disciplinar de Michel Foucault e sociedade de controle de Gilles Deleuze, para pensar nesse aparato gerador de imagens no campo da arte, que se diferencia de sua habitual utilização nos espaços públicos e privados como ferramenta de proteção e segurança.
Notas sobre Imagens do Mundo e Inscrição da Guerra
Authors: Arçari André , Capistrano Tadeu
Published: June 2024

Este ensaio reúne notas escritas que precedem frames de Imagens do Mundo e Inscrição da guerra, filme de Harun Farocki, a quem prestamos homenagem. Os excertos operam como reflexões que atravessam a visualidade fílmica. Entretanto, não se trata de revelar as imagens através de palavras, mas de escavar algumas camadas de sentido pela escrita. Assim, esse texto, de forma fragmentada, em diálogo com a própria estratégia metodológica do cineasta alemão, não revela, mas propõe desvelar, como um conjunto de cartas de um baralho postas a mesa, algumas imagens que reverberam no presente.
Experimental investigation of the effect of longitudinal tensile reinforcement ratio on ductility behaviour in GPC beams
Authors: Özbayrak Ahmet , Çelik Ali İhsan , Acar Mehmet Cemal , Şener Ahmet
Published: June 2024

This research first determined the strength of the cylindrical geopolymer concrete materi- als under compressive stresses. Secondly, conventional and geopolymer-reinforced concrete beams were manufactured in different reinforcement ratios, and their mechanical properties were compared under bending. The main aim of this study is to experimentally compare the effect of reinforcement ratio on the ductility behavior of an alkali-activated geopolymer con- crete (GPC) beam with that of an ordinary Portland cement (OPC) beam. First, balanced reinforcement calculations were made considering the mechanical properties obtained from the material tests. The load-displacement, moment-curvature, and crack development results obtained from beam tests are interpreted with this information. OPC and GPC beams exhibit- ed similar strength and crack development behavior. However, the behavior of GPC and OPC concretes differs regarding the ductility index. Therefore, to achieve similar ductility in the conduct of GPC and OPC beams, the balanced reinforcement ratio and section dimensions of GPC beams should be chosen to be larger than OPC.
On the issue of the emergence of russian capitalism: the principled view of M. I. Tugan-Baranovsky
Authors: Луценко Е.А. , Василенко Е.В.
Published: June 2024

В статье анализируются взгляды известного российского экономиста конца XIX – первой четверти ХХ века М. И. Туган-Барановского о подготовленности России к крупному производству. Особое внимание уделяется развитию фабричного производства как естественного и необходимого следствия социального и экономического положения России. Выявляются концептуальные особенности развития российского капитализма, во многом не схожие с опытом промышленного развития Западной Европы. Раскрывается роль концепции ученого в преодолении теории, изображающей развитие капитализма в России как искусственного процесса, вызванного исключительно вмешательством государства. Исследуется методологическое значение, которое придавал М. И. Туган-Барановский проблеме разграничения естественности и искусственности в социально-экономическом развитии общества.

The article analyzes the principled view of the famous Russian economist of the late XIX – first quarter of the twentieth century M. I. Tugan-Baranovsky on Russia’s preparedness for large-scale production. Special attention is paid to the development of factory production as a natural and necessary consequence of Russia’s social and economic situation. The conceptual features of the development of capitalism in Russia are revealed, which in many ways are not similar to the experience of industrial development in Western Europe. The role of the scientist’s concept in overcoming the theory depicting the development of capitalism in Russia as an artificial process caused solely by state intervention is revealed. The methodological importance attached by M. Tugan-Baranovsky to the problem of distinguishing naturalness and artificiality in the socio-economic development of society is investigated.

Published: June 2024

Статья посвящена исследованию перспектив повышения эффективности стратегий ценообразования для малого и среднего бизнеса в сфере электронной коммерции на B2C рынке за счет совершенствования средствами искусственного интеллекта. Уточняется противоречивый характер ценовой конкуренции, которая одновременно выступает важным инструментом привлечения потребителей и несет за собой риски снижения прибыли для бизнеса. Выделяется фундаментальное значение совершенствования стратегий ценообразования для поиска баланса между привлечением и удержанием потребителей и обеспечением коммерческой выгоды компании. Обобщаются существующие подходы к определению методов ценообразования, выделяются их достоинства, недостатки и условия применения. Рассматриваются различные стратегии ценообразования и подчеркивается необходимость не следования за одной из стратегий, а смены нескольких в зависимости от ситуации (рынок, состояние бизнеса и др.). В качестве перспективного способа совершенствования стратегий ценообразования рассматривается искусственный интеллект. Подчеркивается, что искусственный интеллект обладает аналитической функцией, способен работать с большими данными, самообучаться, ориентироваться на предиктивную аналитику и коррекцию, интегрироваться с другими системами и выступать в качестве рекомендательной системы. По итогам исследования предлагается модель совершенствования стратегий ценообразования с использованием искусственного интеллекта, на основании которой предлагаются мероприятия по улучшению ценообразования.

The article is dedicated to the exploration of perspectives on enhancing the effectiveness of pricing strategies for small and medium-sized businesses in the B2C e-commerce sphere through the application of artificial intelligence tools. The contradictory nature of price competition, which serves as both an important tool for attracting consumers and entails risks of reducing profit for businesses, is clarified. The study emphasizes the fundamental importance of refining pricing strategies to find a balance between attracting and retaining consumers while ensuring commercial profitability. Existing approaches to defining pricing methods are summarized, highlighting their advantages, disadvantages, and conditions for application. Various pricing strategies are examined, emphasizing the need not to adhere to just one strategy but to switch between several depending on the situation (market, business conditions, etc.). Artificial intelligence is considered as a promising way to enhance pricing strategies. It is emphasized that artificial intelligence possesses analytical functions, can work with large data sets, self-learn, focus on predictive analytics and correction, integrate with other systems, and act as a recommendation system. Based on the research, a model for improving pricing strategies using artificial intelligence is proposed, suggesting measures for enhancing pricing.

Authors: Sheila C. Digal, Mary , Alvin O. Cayogyog, , Jr. L. Digal, Charles , Mae C., Pareja Alma , Lawrence. Ortillano, Daniel , Joy. Daclan, Robert
Published: June 2024

This study used a correlation research design to determine the factors affecting bullying among Grade Six pupils in Consuelo Elementary School. The respondents were 61 grade six students. A validated questionnaire and the Social Emotional Competence Questionnaire (SECQ) were employed to measure students’ social-emotional competence. The results demonstrated that social-emotional learning (SEL) is an effective and significant component in comprehensive bullying prevention interventions, aligning with findings that SEL interventions can improve student skills, reduce problem behaviors, and increase academic achievement. Notably, the relational abilities of Grade 6 pupils emerged as the strongest predictor of bullying, indicating that high levels of SEL can effectively reduce bullying incidents in educational settings. To address this issue, it is recommended that educational institutions prioritize comprehensive SEL programs tailored to students’ needs from an early age. Furthermore, educators and school administrators should receive training in SEL strategies to effectively support students, and pupils should actively develop social and emotional competencies to better cope with everyday challenges. Future research should explore the long-term effects of SEL interventions on bullying prevention and identify best practices for implementation across diverse educational settings.

Authors: Khedidja Belaidi , Abdeldjalil Zadjaoui , Belkacem Mekerta , Abdelkader Bassoud , Mohamed-Amine Allal
Published: June 2024

Containment of hazardous waste is one of the methods that can be used today for its disposal worldwide, especially in landfills. In order to preserve groundwater, landfills are constructed on a natural or reconstituted clay layer of low permeability, known as a passive safety barrier. 
This paper presents an experimental laboratory study that aims to upgrade local materials for use as a passive barrier in the bottoms of hazardous waste storage facilities (HWSCs). The basic materials are clays from the Adrar region in southern Algeria. An experimental study based on physical-chemical characterization and mechanical tests was performed on 2 samples of clayey soils (AA, Adrar clay, and AB, Bouda clay). Physico-chemical and mechanical characterization of Adrar clay (AA) mixtures with lime was conducted to minimize swelling and improve the studied soil. The permeability criterion allowed the adoption of an optimal mixture of Adrar clay + 6 % lime for a permeability lower than 10–12 m/s. 
HIGHLIGHTS  

Ideal solution to protect natural groundwater resources using local materials, clay and lime
Large area exceeding 30 km2 of clay sources and including sources of oil pollution
Noticeable improvement in clay properties thanks to the addition of lime to reduce swelling
The treated clay has a very low permeability value, lower than 10−12 m/s and is ideal for hazardous waste storage centers

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Influence of Anode Diffusion Layer on the Performance of a Passive Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell
Authors: Ekdharmasuit Panuwat
Published: June 2024

One of the main challenges with passive direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) is ethanol transport management since the liquid ethanol is supplied to the anode compartment by natural processes including convection and diffusion with a low cell operating condition. The significant layer in the cell is the diffusion layer (DL), which facilitates reactants to reach the anode catalyst layer (CL). In this study, the impact of various DLs fabricated of readily accessible commercial materials on cell performance in passive DEFCs with different ethanol feed concentrations was examined with various in-situ characterization methods. The results demonstrate that the cell with a DL coated by the hydrophobic microporous layer (MPL) yielded the best performance of 0.887 mW·cm-2 at the optimal ethanol feed concentration of 5 M. In conclusion, the benefits of enhancing ethanol mass transfer to the anode CL would outweigh the drawbacks of preventing ethanol crossover to the cathode.
HIGHLIGHTS  

The effect of the anode diffusion layer (DL) on passive direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) performance was determined
Five different anode DLs fabricated of readily accessible commercial materials were employed
Various characterizations enabled the assessment of each loss affecting the passive DEFC performance
The cell with an anode DL modified with a hydrophobic microporous layer (MPL) exhibited the best cell performance
The optimal ethanol feed concentration of the best cell was found to be 5 M

Authors: Nez Egeslaine de , Mentges Manuir José , Morosini Marilia Costa
Published: June 2024

A internacionalização da educação superior é considerada um dos critérios de qualidade na avaliação institucional e necessária a formação e qualificação do estudante. Além disso, busca-se por meio dela, proporcionar a construção de competências interculturais. A mobilidade é a forma mais tradicional de internacionalização, entretanto, na América Latina, sua incidência é baixa em razão de questões econômicas, e, também à dificuldade de acesso a alguns centros geoplíticos de conhecimento. Nesta direção, este artigo busca refletir sobre novas formas que necessitam ser postas em prática, para que as instituições atinjam um grau de internacionalização abrangente (comprehensive) e possam se tornar irradiadoras do desenvolvimento sustentável. Entre as principais estratégias para esse tipo de internacionalização merecem destaque as redes colaborativas que é o foco desse estudo bibliográfico.

Published: June 2024

As Micro e Pequenas Empresas (MPEs) representam uma grande parte da força motora da economia brasileira. Todavia, estas empresas enfrentam dificuldades na gestão e, por esse motivo, para tomar melhores decisões em prol de seus negócios, os gestores necessitam de informações úteis e relevantes para lhes servir de apoio. Neste sentido, a contabilidade mostra-se como um recurso importante, dado que se trata, sobretudo, de um sistema de informação que disponibiliza informações necessárias ao gerenciamento de negócios. Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar, na visão do micro e pequeno empresário do setor de serviços, o papel da informação contábil na gestão do seu negócio. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa do tipo exploratório, tendo a entrevista individual em profundidade como estratégia de coleta de dados e a análise de conteúdo para o seu tratamento. Os resultados mostram que o papel da informação contábil na gestão de MPEs é o de proporcionar informes em relação aos recebimentos e gastos incorridos na empresa ao longo do ano. No tocante à importância atribuída a essas informações, os gestores enxergam a contabilidade como uma estrutura exclusivamente responsável pelo cálculo dos tributos, assimilação da legislação fiscal brasileira e pelo fornecimento de documentos para processos legais.

Meta-analysis of Censored Adverse Events
Authors: Qi Xinyue , Zhou Shouhao , Peterson Christine B. , Wang Yucai , Fang Xinying , Wang Michael L. , Shen Chan
Published: June 2024

Meta-analysis is a powerful tool for assessing drug safety by combining treatment-related toxicological findings across multiple studies, as clinical trials are typically underpowered for detecting adverse drug effects. However, incomplete reporting of adverse events (AEs) in published clinical studies is frequently encountered, especially if the observed number of AEs is below a pre-specified study-dependent threshold. Ignoring the censored AE information, often found in lower frequency, can significantly bias the estimated incidence rate of AEs. Despite its importance, this prevalent issue in meta-analysis has received little statistical or analytic attention in the literature. To address this challenge, we propose a Bayesian approach to accommodating the censored and possibly rare AEs for meta-analysis of safety data. Through simulation studies, we demonstrate that the proposed method can improve accuracy in point and interval estimation of incidence probabilities, particularly in the presence of censored data. Overall, the proposed method provides a practical solution that can facilitate better-informed decisions regarding drug safety.

У статті розглянутий системний підхід щодо публічного управління у сфері забезпечення ментального здоров’я суспільства. Його методологічна специфіка полягає в тому, що об’єкт дослідження розглядається як цілісна множина елементів в сукупності відношень і зв’язків між ними. При цьому береться до уваги такий факт, що при об’єднанні частин у ціле виникають нові якості системи, яких не було до цього об’єднання. Наведено визначення поняття «ментальне здоров’я суспільства» – збереження менталітету як інтегральної етнопсихологічної ознаки, тобто системи уявлень та цінностей, які стимулюють і регулюють поведінку в соціокультурних реаліях буття, специфічним відображенням дійсності, що зумовлена процесом життєдіяльності суспільства в певних географічних, історичних та культурних умовах. Встановлено, що ментальне здоров’я представляє собою конструкт із психічної, соціально-психологічної, духовної складових. Розглянуто одну із головних характеристик системи – стійкість, у підтримці якої грають важливу роль такі системні властивості як емерджентність і самоорганізація. Наголошено, що емерджентність можна розглядати як певний ресурс системи, що виникає в результаті самоорганізації. Досліджено принципи побудови моделі динамічної системи збереження ментального здоров’я суспільства, стійкої до зовнішніх викликів та внутрішніх збурень, де головними компонентами є об’єкт контролю, суб’єкти контролю, ризики і стратегія управління. Зроблено висновки, що системний підхід, з акцентом на таких якостях як емерджентність і самоорганізація, дозволяє розширити теоретико-практичну базу публічного управління у сфері забезпечення ментального здоров’я. Запропонована модель дає змогу на основі оцінки зовнішніх викликів і внутрішніх ризиків виокремити відповідні стратегії управління та визначити відповідні суб’єкти публічного управління для кожної складової ментального здоров’я.
Effects of Funds Disbursement on Financial Sustainability of Public Secondary Schools in Alego Usonga Sub-County, Kenya
Authors: Odiyo Zachary Onyango , Alala Benedict Ondiek , Oseno Ben
Published: June 2024

Financial sustainability in public secondary schools has been tested, with disbursement of funds and school fee payments cited as major issues. This study is therefore intended to examine the relationship between fund disbursement and the financial sustainability of public secondary schools. The study applied fund accounting theory. The study employed a descriptive research design employing a mixed approach and targeted 50 public secondary schools, hence a target of 100 respondents, two per school (school bursar, accounts clerk, and school principal) in Alego Usonga, of which a census was conducted involving all the schools. Primary data was collected using a closed-ended questionnaire, while secondary data was extracted from audited financial statements for public secondary schools. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin was conducted for validity as well as Cronbach alpha for reliability. Piloting on 10 respondents (5 bursars and 5 principals) was conducted in Kakamega County. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics such as frequency tables, mean, and standard deviation, while inferential statistics included correlation analysis, multiple regression, and hierarchical regression. The findings of this research may be of great importance to public secondary school administrators, managers of various financial institutions, and school suppliers wishing to deliver items to the public secondary schools on credit terms. It may equally be of importance to researchers and future scholars who might need to refer to or build on this work for further research. The R square, or coefficient of determination, demonstrates that fund disbursement accounts for 46.7% of the variance in performances (R2 = 0.467). This suggests that fund disbursement has a major bearing on the results achieved. Fund disbursement was a significant predictor (p<.000). The study recommends that public secondary schools should have stronger fund disbursements. This should happen through the Ministry of Education providing timely capitation. Other agencies, such as NG-CDF and county bursaries, should be timely remitted to the public secondary schools.

A implementação do Novo Ensino Médio teve como objetivo ampliar a formação educacional dos estudantes para além do conhecimento técnico. As principais mudanças ocorridas no ensino médio foi a diminuição da carga horária da Formação Geral Básica e a implementação dos Itinerários Formativos Integrados. Tais modificações geraram diferentes demandas para as redes estaduais e escolas. Diante disso, a reformulação do Novo Ensino Médio gerou divergências quanto à idealização e implementação de tal proposta. No entanto, também se observa fortes defensores da atualização e manutenção da reforma. Nesse contexto, este artigo teve como objetivo analisar as mudanças ocorridas com o Novo Ensino Médio em dois estados do nordeste (Maranhão e Piauí) e discutir as opiniões sobre essa nova implementação a partir das consultas públicas feitas pelo Ministério da Educação (MEC) e pelo Conselho Nacional de Secretários de Educação (CONSED).

Grande parte dos alunos do ensino médio apresentam dificuldades de leitura e escrita, facilmente identificáveis durante as aulas de redação para o ENEM. Nesse sentido, fomos motivados a explorar esse tema, para que identificássemos as causas dessas dificuldades e as estratégias de intervenção para atenuar o problema. Fizemos uma pesquisa bibliográfica ampla na seleção de teorias, dentre as quais destacamos os seguintes autores: SOARES (1986; 2009), FREIRE (1970; 1982) e LIBÂNEO (1990). Ficou claro que é necessário considerar todo o contexto sociocultural em que o aluno está inserido, para que a prática pedagógica do ensino da leitura e escrita não se afaste da realidade do discente. Esse estudo, afinal, demonstrou que o problema da dificuldade de leitura e escrita do aluno do ensino médio é eminente e requer atenção de todos envolvidos no processo, em especial os educadores, e que estratégias de intervenção devem ser identificadas e aplicadas em sala de aula.
DIREITO MÉDICO FRENTE AO DIREITO DO PACIENTE À LUZ DA DIGNIDADE DA PESSOA HUMANA

Published: June 2024

Qual a dificuldade prática para se aplicar o Direito Médico, sem transgredir o Direito do Paciente à luz da dignidade da pessoa humana? O objetivo geral é de investigar se há transgressão ao Direito do Paciente e à Dignidade da Pessoa Humana. Nesse sentido, no que concerne aos objetivos específicos para alcançar o objetivo geral, serão: analisar se o Direito Médico vem sendo aplicado pelos profissionais médicos de forma diligente. Verificar se há ausência de diligência pelos profissionais médicos com os regulamentos legais. Identificar fatores que implicam em dificuldades práticas para utilização dos regulamentos de lei. No tocante aos recortes temporal, tem por base a evolução dos direitos dos homens, por volta de 1948, o recorte geográfico limita-se não somente ao Brasil, quanto às normas. O método de pesquisa é o exploratório com análise e coleta de dados e a técnica de pesquisa com referência em bibliográfica e jurisprudencial. Os resultados apontam que na prática há transgressão ao direito do paciente com o uso de uma medicina defensiva, em princípio, validada com os dados apontados pelos autores. A discussão, consoante os apontamentos da pesquisa, se deve ao umento das demandas judiciais, decorrentes da ausência de diligência pelos profissionais médicos no que concerne aos regulamentos inerentes à sua atuação. Portanto, considerando o aumento da demanda no âmbito judiciário e validação na pesquisa, direcionando o entendimento para erro médico com responsabilização civil, se faz importante verificar os possíveis motivos que concorrem para o aumento do acionamento do poder judiciário.

Assessing root-soil interactions in wetland plants: root exudation and radial oxygen loss
Authors: Haviland Katherine Ann , Noyce Genevieve
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Plant rhizosphere processes, such as root exudation and root oxygen loss (ROL), could have significant impacts on the dynamics and magnitude of wetland methane fluxes, but are rarely measured directly. Here, we measure root exudation and ROL from Schoenoplectus americanus and Spartina patens, two plants that have had opposite relationships between biomass and methane flux in field experiments. We found contrasting rates of ROL in the two species, with S. americanus releasing orders of magnitude more oxygen (O2) to the soil than S. patens. At the same time, S. patens exudes high amounts of carbon to the soil, with much of that carbon pool reduced compared to exudates from other wetland species. This work suggests that the relative inputs of O2 and carbon to the rhizosphere vary significantly between wetland plant species, potentially with major consequences on methane emissions, and highlights the importance of understanding how plant rhizosphere processes mediate soil biogeochemistry at a community level. As global change drivers continue to impact wetlands, future research should consider how feedbacks from plant rhizosphere processes may exacerbate or mitigate coastal wetland methane emissions.

Abstract. Permafrost carbon, stored in frozen organic matter across vast Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, represents a substantial and increasingly vulnerable carbon reservoir. As global temperatures rise, the accelerated thawing of permafrost releases greenhouse gases, exacerbating climate change. However, freshly thawed permafrost carbon may also experience lateral transport by groundwater flow to surface water recipients such as rivers and lakes, increasing the terrestrial-to-aquatic transfer of permafrost carbon. The mobilization and subsurface transport mechanisms are poorly understood and not accounted for in global climate models, leading to high uncertainties in the predictions of the permafrost carbon feedback. Here, we analyze of solute transport in the form of a non-reactive tracer representing dissolved organic carbon (DOC) using a physics-based numerical model with the objective to study governing cryotic and hydrodynamic transport mechanisms relevant for warming permafrost regions. We first analyze transport times for DOC pools at different locations within the active layer under present-day climatic conditions and proceed to study susceptibility for deeper ancient carbon release in the upper permafrost due to thaw under different warming scenarios. Results suggest that DOC in the active layer near the permafrost table experiences rapid lateral transport upon thaw due to saturated conditions and lateral flow, while DOC close to the ground surface experiences slower transport due flow in unsaturated soil. Deeper permafrost carbon release exhibits vastly different transport behaviors depending on warming and thaw rate. Gradual warming leads to small fractions of DOC being mobilized every year, while the majority moves vertically through percolation and cryosuction. Abrupt thaw resulting from a single very warm year leads to faster lateral transport times, similar to active layer DOC released in saturated conditions. Lastly, we analyze the potential susceptibility of DOC to mineralization to CO2 prior to export due to soil moisture and temperature conditions. We find that high liquid saturation during transport coincides with very low mineralization rates and potentially inhibits mineralization into greenhouse gases before export. Overall, the results highlight the importance of subsurface hydrologic and thermal conditions on the retention and lateral export of permafrost carbon by subsurface flow.
Enhancing Climate Model Performance through Improving Volcanic Aerosol Representation

Abstract. An accurate representation of Earth's surface temperature is crucial for simulating climate change. Yet many climate models struggle to reproduce the evolution of historical temperature records, especially after the major 1963 Mt. Agung volcano eruption. This study investigates whether the method of specifying the volcanic forcing could be contributing to this bias using the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). The CMIP6 protocol represents volcanic eruptions through simplified radiative forcing, neglecting the interaction between volcanic aerosols and clouds. Here we adopt a new approach based on an updated volcanic eruption inventory, which includes volcanic sulfur dioxide emissions and hence allows for a more realistic representation of subsequent physical processes that involve volcanic aerosols. With this new approach, E3SM simulates slightly warmer surface temperatures and improved interannual variability during years 1940–1980 compared to the standard CMIP6 approach. The improvements mainly stem from two factors: 1) the inclusion of volcanic aerosol-cloud interactions, which reduces aerosol indirect effect by volcanic quiescent warming effect, and 2) the more accurate representation of volcanic eruptions after 1963, which leads to less volcanic aerosol cooling. Overall, this study highlights the importance of more accurate volcanic forcing in improving climate simulation and is strongly in favor of an emission-based volcanic forcing treatment.
