Autologous platelet-rich plasma for the treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome in women: evaluation of clinical efficacy
Authors: Medvedev V. L. , Lepetunov S. N. , Kogan M. I.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The pathogenetic theory of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC / BPS) development declares that due to vascular changes and trophic disorders in the bladder wall, a complex of dystrophic, necrobiotic and sclerotic processes develops, involving all layers of the bladder wall with the subsequent development of fibrosis. Therapy of moderate-to-severe symptoms of IC/BPS that recommended in EAU guidelines is not so effective.

Objective. To evaluate the results of intradetrusor autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in female IC / BPS-patients.

Matherials & methods. A single-centre controlled randomized prospective trial that includes 85 women from 20 to 79 years old and with average disease duration of 4.8 ± 2.1 years. They were divided into two groups: group 1 — 35 patients were treated with total of five cystoscopies and hydrodistension, each once in two weeks for 10 weeks; group 2 — 50 patients were treated with total of 5 intradetrusor PRP-injection (mean platelet concentration was 982 х 103/l) into 20 – 22 points, each once in two weeks. We assessed pain (VAS-scale), urgency and frequency (PUF-scale, IUS-scale), bladder urinary, Global Response Assessment (GRA), bladder diary and bladder capacity before treatment, after one and 12 months.

Results. Conventional IC/BPS therapy leads to a significant reduction in symptoms one month after its completion, and a similar pattern of symptoms and signs is observed in the PRP-treatment group. However, in group 1, negative dynamics is further determined up to 12 months, but the indicators do not reach the initial values. In contrast, in group 2, we found stabilisation of pain severity and improvement of all other symptoms and signs by 12 months compared to baseline and one month after the completion of PRP-therapy.

Conclusion. The developed method of PRP-therapy of IC/BPS has high efficacy not only at the treatment completion, but also at monitoring of patients for 24 months. PRP-therapy combined with classical treatment will probably have a higher level of efficacy both in terms of symptoms and signs of the disease over a long-term monitoring.

Authors: Wang Jie , Tan Fangqin , Wang Zhenzhong , Yu Yiwen , Yang Jingsong , Wang Yueqing , Shao Ruitai , Yin Xuejun
Published: December 2023

Background

Hypertension and diabetes are global health challenges requiring effective management to mitigate their considerable burden. The successful management of hypertension and diabetes requires the completion of a sequence of stages, which are collectively termed the care cascade.

Objective

This scoping review aimed to describe the characteristics of studies on the hypertension and diabetes care cascade and identify potential interventions as well as factors that impact each stage of the care cascade.

Methods

The method of this scoping review has been guided by the framework by Arksey and O’Malley. We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science using terms pertinent to hypertension, diabetes, and specific stages of the care cascade. Articles published after 2011 were considered, and we included all studies that described the completion of at least one stage of the care cascade of hypertension and diabetes. Study selection was independently performed by 2 paired authors. Descriptive statistics were used to elucidate key patterns and trends. Inductive content analysis was performed to generate themes regarding the barriers and facilitators for improving the care cascade in hypertension and diabetes management.

Results

A total of 128 studies were included, with 42.2% (54/128) conducted in high-income countries. Of them, 47 (36.7%) focused on hypertension care, 63 (49.2%) focused on diabetes care, and only 18 (14.1%) reported on the care of both diseases. The majority (96/128, 75.0%) were observational in design. Cascade stages documented in the literature were awareness, screening, diagnosis, linkage to care, treatment, adherence to medication, and control. Most studies focused on the stages of treatment and control, while a relative paucity of studies examined the stages before treatment initiation (76/128, 59.4% vs 52/128, 40.6%). There was a wide spectrum of interventions aimed at enhancing the hypertension and diabetes care cascade. The analysis unveiled a multitude of individual-level and system-level factors influencing the successful completion of cascade sequences in both high-income and low- and middle-income settings.

Conclusions

This review offers a comprehensive understanding of hypertension and diabetes management, emphasizing the pivotal factors that impact each stage of care. Future research should focus on upstream cascade stages and context-specific interventions to optimize patient retention and care outcomes.

Authors: Wang Yongwen , Yu Haiyang , Jiang Lihong
Published: December 2023

With the construction and development of a low carbon and environmental protection society, China is promoting the construction of a clean, low carbon, safe and efficient energy supply system, the most critical of which is to promote the rapid construction of new energy installed capacity. However, with the continuous expansion of the new energy installed capacity, the random volatility of the power supply has become an important factor that puzzles the power balance of the current power system, not only formed a larger peak pressure, but also became one of the important factors restricting the development of new energy. At the same time, the new energy power electronic equipment has weak supporting characteristics, which also makes the proportion of new energy power system continues to increase, and has a high impact on security. In this context, this paper carries out a demand analysis, firstly discussing the demand for large-scale energy storage in the development of new energy for power system, and secondly analyzing the demand for large-scale energy storage in the safe operation of large power grid, so as to promote the construction of GW-level electrochemical energy storage power station and effectively deal with the power imbalance and safety problems.
Ramifications of Decisions: A Study of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's, Before We Visit the Goddess
Authors: M. Aarthika
Published: December 2023

Diasporic writing is an attempt to express the predicaments of immigrants as they land in an alien land. Migration both forced and voluntary resulted in the feelings of dislocation, alienation and confusion as they are made victims of discriminations based on race, culture, religion and language. Diasporic writers have attempted to express some of the inexplicable problems of immigrants. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni as a diasporic writer focuses on the trajectory of immigrants and the trauma of being in exile. Her novels explore the problems of settlement, fractured identity, immigrant experiences, and multi-cultural society, intergenerational and cross cultural conflicts and ramification of decisions from female protagonists. Ramification of decisions continues to shape literature in time immemorial. Serious decisions taken by characters develop the plot as well as make narration interesting. Decision making is actually a cognitive process that result in a selection of belief among other alternative possible actions. The consequences of decisions are to be focused because failing decisions may lead to complications, challenges that would turn someone’s life upside down. Divakaruni picturizes adventurous characters who always find possibilities to shine in their lives by breaking their shackles. Her characters would take venturesome decisions especially when they are in a complex situation. The author motivates her immigrant readers by projecting challenges to the characters and shows ways to overcome the situation. In her novel, Before We Visit the Goddess, three generations of women who take significant decisions that bring drastic change in their lives that result in their quest for identity. This paper highlights the gradual development of characters from stepping out from their homeland to facing challenges and establishing an identity in an alien land. This paper is an attempt to explore how the characters with ramifications of decisions, several distractions and different dreams, figure out their identity and continue to evolve.
Divulgence of racial apartheid and segregation in Subalterns: An overview of Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
Authors: Sharma Dr. Geeta , Tripathi Rsvika
Published: December 2023

In her renowned autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou provides a detailed account of the hardships faced by racial subalterns. Born during the Jim Crow Laws Era, Maya experienced profound racial segregation in Stamps, Arkansas, leading to animosity between Americans and subalterns (Blacks). As a subaltern and African American, Maya encountered oppressive patriarchal dominance, with limited opportunities for females in a male-dominated society. Subaltern women, constrained by societal norms, found their dreams curtailed and suffered from the dominance of their counterparts. The marginalized status of African Americans in society serves as a thematic backdrop. Despite these challenges, Maya shattered the glass ceiling and emerged as the voice for racial subalterns in her community, achieving the historic feat of becoming the first subaltern woman to serve as the conductor of a cable car.

SERBIAN FILM FROM JOURNALISM STUDENTS' PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Vujović Marija , Mitrović Marta
Published: December 2023

Journalism students from the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Niš, are studying film as the first audio-visual mass communication medium, so the authors wanted to explore their relationship with Serbian (domestic) films, which is the main goal of this paper. In January 2023, 138 journalism students from all four years of undergraduate study participated in the study. Data were collected for the study using a specific questionnaire, which was then processed using SPSS, a program for statistical data analysis. The findings of the study indicate that journalism students visit theaters to see Serbian films. The presence of quality actors is both their initial association with Serbian movies and the most popular reason for going to the movies to see them. Lack of habit is frequently cited as the primary excuse for students who don't watch Serbian films at the movies. Although a bigger percentage of students say that Serbia creates exquisite movies that are popular abroad, they also believe that movies from earlier times were superior. The majority of the students believe that Serbian films are superior to those from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, two neighbouring countries.
BARICCO IN ROSSINI’S MIRROR
Authors: Petrović Ljiljana
Published: December 2023

This paper provides a comparative analysis of Alessandro Baricco's examination of Rossini's operas from both a musical-philosophical perspective and in relation to his literary works. This simultaneous examination encompasses, on the one hand, the theoretical perspectives articulated by the author in the essay Genius on the Run: Two Essays on the Musical Theater of Gioachino Rossini, as well as within a specific series of plays titled Totem, and on the other hand, selected passages from Baricco's novels. Implicit in this study is the assertion that numerous themes and processes acknowledged by the author as distinctly Rossini's may also be attributed to Baricco himself. They share a commonality in dismantling established conventions, questioning the notion of purposefulness, and challenging the absoluteness of the concept of madness, a persistent emphasis on themes such as journey, change, impermanence, imaginary elements and rhythms. Beyond the previously cited sources, the research extended to encompass eight additional literary works by Baricco.

Authors: Mot Julia Matilde
Published: December 2023

Un estudio aeromicológico se efectuó para identificar el rol de algunos parámetros meteorológicos que inciden en el proceso de la proliferación de esporas fúngicas en los gases de la atmósfera. El objetivo fue identificar los hongos aeronavegantes en siete puntos de la ciudad de Santo Domingo. Se aplicó el método de la placa expuesta, donde ocurre la sedimentación de las partículas del aire. Los hongos identificados y presentes en todo el muestreo de la investigación fueron los géneros Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium y Penicillium. Se establece que los niveles de mayor concentración de esporas corresponden a los meses de marzo y septiembre, y para los niveles más bajos fueron los meses de julio y agosto. Se proyecta que las variaciones de los parámetros meteorológicos ejercen una fuerte presión en la distribución espacial y temporal de las esporas.

Authors: García Ibrahim , Manduca Artiles Michel , Jáuregui-Haza Ulises Javier
Published: December 2023

La contaminación de las aguas es uno de los principales problemas ambientales que la comunidad científica internacional enfrenta actualmente, debido al vertiginoso aumento del vertimiento deslocalizado de compuestos orgánicos persistentes y elementos metálicos traza, cuya presencia tiene un elevado impacto en la salud humana y los ecosistemas. En el presente trabajo se realizó un análisis bibliográfico sobre la contaminación de aguas superficiales por elementos metálicos traza y sus principales fuentes de contaminación, dentro de las cuales la actividad minera e industrial son las principales fuentes antrópicas que contribuyen con el aumento de dichos contaminantes. Se exponen algunas de las sintomatologías derivadas del envenenamiento por elementos metálicos traza como el arsénico, plomo, mercurio y cromo en humanos. También se investigó sobre las ventajas y desventajas de los métodos convencionales (precipitación química, floculación/coagulación, intercambio iónico, membranas) y no convencionales (adsorción, fitorremediación, pilas de combustión microbianas y el uso de nanotecnologías) empleados en el tratamiento de las aguas contaminadas por elementos metálicos traza. La metodología más empleada para la eliminación de los elementos metálicos traza es la adsorción y el adsorbente más utilizado es el carbón activado (CA). En este trabajo se abunda sobre la relación entre los parámetros externos (pH, temperatura y fuerza iónica) e internos (área superficial, tamaño de poros y la presencia de heteroátomos) en el proceso de adsorción empleando el CA y de las fuentes de materia prima para la obtención de estos.
Dinámica multifactorial del desempleo dominicano 2014-2024
Authors: Lopez Perez Juan Carlos
Published: December 2023

Esta nota de investigación explora la dinámica del desempleo abierto en República Dominicana, primero caracterizando el contexto internacional y, fundamentalmente, considerando un conjunto de variables explicativas/correlacionadas de los sectores real, monetario, externo y fiscal. Entre los hallazgos más importantes es que los determinantes principales para la reducción del desempleo son los cotizantes formales, el IMAE y, dentro de las variables externas, la llegada de turistas no residentes. Mientras que, por otro lado, políticas expansivas (monetaria y fiscal) parecieran incrementar el desempleo (por vía de una mayor participación). También, con las estimaciones empíricas se realizan proyecciones para los siguientes dos o tres años, donde se cuantifica la futura disminución esperada en los niveles de desempleo.
Engleske riječi u hrvatskome: Jezično posuđivanje i dvojezična leksička obrada
Authors: Bogunović Irena
Published: December 2023

Engleski se jezik smatra prestižnim, a takav je status povezan s jezičnim posuđivanjem, jezičnim stavovima i jezičnom izloženošću. Engleski je postao dominantan jezik davalac, a zbog prestižnog statusa umanjuje se vjerojatnost da će se posuđene riječi prilagoditi jeziku primaocu. Zbog toga se mnoge riječi posuđene iz engleskoga rabe u neprilagođenom obliku. U hrvatskome se jeziku preporučuje uporaba domaćih riječi, no čini se da one još uvijek u potpunosti ne zadovoljavaju potrebe govornika. Istraživanja su pokazala da hrvatski govornici imaju pozitivan stav prema engleskim riječima u neformalnom kontekstu, ali i da je uporaba engleskih riječi povezana s boljom procjenom osobe u kategoriji socijalne poželjnosti. To se može objasniti jezičnim prestižem, ali i izloženošću engleskom jeziku, koja u novije vrijeme počinje već u predškolskoj dobi, a za mnoge je govornike svakodnevna. Izloženost jeziku pogoduje spontanom usvajanju jezika te je prepoznata kao važan čimbenik u istraživanju dvojezičnosti u širem smislu. Time se stvaraju uvjeti za istraživanje kognitivne obrade engleskih riječi u okviru dvojezične obrade jezika, a nedavno razvijeni računalno–jezikoslovni i psiholingvistički resursi za hrvatski jezik omogućuju provođenje eksperimentalnih istraživanja. Cilj ovoga rada je predstaviti interdisciplinarni pristup engleskim riječima, razmotriti dostupne resurse i eksperimentalne metode te izložiti pojavu engleskih riječi u teorijskom okviru dvojezičnosti i dvojezične obrade jezika. Ovaj istraživački pravac još nije ispitivan u drugim jezicima te predstavlja novi pristup u istraživanjima dvojezične leksičke obrade

Objective: This study seeks to explore the association between TGF-β1 bioavailability and vitamin D/calcium levels in women withpolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), aiming to uncover potential links that could contribute to understanding the pathogenesis of PCOSand its management.
Methods: Case-control study comprises of 60 women with PCOS and 60 healthy control women. Fasting serum TGF-β1, sEND, vitamin Dand calcium were measured. Additionally, Anthropometric parameters: age, body mass index, blood pressure; diabetes parameters: fasting glucose, fasting insulin, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), homeostatic model assessment of beta–cell function (HOMA-B2); Lipid profile: TC, TG, LDL, HDL, VLDL were assessed.
Results: There were significant increasing in serum TGF-β1 and its bioavailability in PCOS compared to control whereas there weresignificant decreasing in serum sENG in PCOS compared to control. Additionally, serum vitamin D was lower significantly in PCOS than incontrol while serum calcium was higher significantly in PCOS than in control. The correlation did not find between TGF-β1, sENG, TGF-β1/sENG with vitamin D and calcium and with other metabolic parameters. However, positive correlation was found between calcium and BMI and between TGF-β1 and it bioavailability (TGF-β1/sENG).
Conclusion: Elevated TGF-β1 bioavailability results from increase serum TGF-β1 combine with decrease serum sENG, suggesting a potential role of TGF-β1 bioavailability in arresting follicular development in PCOS patients. Moreover, significant decrease in vitamin D and significant increase of calcium in PCOS patients, indicating that vitamin D and calcium may be involve in PCOS pathogenesis.

THE PHENOMENON OF HISTORICAL POLITICS AS A FACTOR OF RUSSIAN-POLISH RELATIONS
Authors:   Central Russian Institute of Management, Branch of RANEPA, FILYAS A.M.
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this work is to study the influence of public opinion on the formation of modern Russian-Polish relations. The work concretizes the concept of the phenomenon of “historical politics” in the context of Poland’s foreign policy strategy in the eastern direction in the conditions of post-bipolar world. The article analyzes the mechanisms of formation of public opinion in the focus of relations between the Russian and Polish Republics. It is substantiated that the revanchist position of the Polish political elite in its focus on deforming national consciousness and historical memory led not only to the strengthening of anti-Russian sentiments in Polish society, but also to an increase in conflict potential in the East European region. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that the leading factor in the formation of public opinion in post-socialist Poland in relation to the Russian Federation is the activity of state-public organizations, which act as a channel for the implementation of the concept of “historical policy” of Warsaw in strengthening its geopolitical influence in the space of the former USSR.
Independentes podem ser transparentes? Estratégias de media accountability da Agência Pública e The Intercept Brasil
Authors: Bezerra Kalianny , Christofoletti Rogério
Published: December 2023

A transparência é um valor ascendente no jornalismo ocidental nas últimas décadas. Seu cultivo implica mudanças no comportamento dos profissionais - como a disposição de revelar parte de seus procedimentos - e exige uma postura de maior abertura pública das organizações jornalísticas. No Brasil, meios que se autoproclamam independentes vocalizam um compromisso maior com a agenda por um jornalismo mais transparente. Neste artigo, analisamos os casos da Agência Pública e The Intercept Brasil, a partir de 18 indicadores de três categorias de transparência: organizacional/editorial, financeira e na participação do público. Ao final, os resultados permitiram identificar esforços, lacunas e potenciais de transparência, mas também elementos que ajudam a identificar estratégias de visibilidade que distingam esses meios dos demais.

ICJ Jurisdiction Over the Case of Policy to Stop Nickel Exports: European Union v. Indonesia
Authors: Gunawan Yordan , Amirullah Muhammad Nur Rifqi , Arumbinang Mohammad Hazyar
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this paper is to explore the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding the European Union's legal action against Indonesia in response to Indonesia's policy to halt the export of raw materials derived from nickel ore. The research methodology employed for this paper is normative legal research, relying primarily on legal materials that encompass normative law for data collection. The outcome of this study indicates that Indonesia has implemented a measure to cease the export of raw materials derived from nickel ore, leading to the domestic downstream management of mineral resources within the country. In addition, the purpose of the export stop is the strong desire of the Indonesian government so that all raw materials are managed domestically and can invite investors from abroad to invest in Indonesia. However, the European Union (EU), as one of the enthusiasts and consumers of nickel ore raw materials, objected to the policy issued by Indonesia. The form of objection from the EU is to sue Indonesia to the WTO. The EU objected to the policies issued by the Indonesian government because they could interfere with various policies taken by the EU. The policy is expected that in 2050 the EU will be free from CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the EU argues that the cost of nickel ore, once domestically managed, is anticipated to undergo a significant increase, surpassing the prevailing market price. The author scrutinizes the jurisdictional aspects regulated by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) within this context

Published: December 2023

O presente relato é fruto das ações desenvolvidas no projeto Contando Africanidades, no qual promovemos sessões de contação de histórias, que trouxeram como protagonistas personagens negros e indígenas, com vistas a desconstrução de preconceitos/estereótipos, o tratamento das relações identitárias em espaços educativos e a valorização das matrizes culturais e étnicas brasileiras. Temos como objetivo relatar as ações desenvolvidas no projeto de extensão Contando Africanidades, no âmbito da extensão universitária, no período de 2021 a 2023. Para isso, teoricamente, apresentamos um panorama geral do projeto extensão em diálogo com as legislações e discussões teóricas com a literatura das relações étnico-raciais, como foi o caso de Candau (2002b, 2005), que nos alerta sobre a importância de adentrar no universo de preconceitos e discriminações e promover a interação com pessoas diferentes de nós, contribuindo para a formação de nossa identidade. Como procedimentos metodológicos, destacamos as especificidades das ações desenvolvidas ao longo do projeto, desde sessões de contação de história e eventos culturais e científicos. De modo geral, os resultados apontam para a possibilidade de diálogo com os sujeitos, sobre uma educação inclusiva e reflexiva para com as narrativas de cada um, em atenção as suas subjetividades, com o objetivo tratar das relações étnico-raciais nos mais diferentes contextos. Por fim, concluímos que através das sessões realizadas houve possibilidades de resgate as memórias, estimulando o espírito crítico e despertando o conhecimento profundo sobre identidade e a ancestralidade.

A partir de dados obtidos por observação participante, o presente estudo visa discutir os efeitos do processo de flexibilização nas redações jornalísticas sobre a produção de imagens, em especial fotográficas. Observou-se uma queda de qualidade, tanto no processo de produção quanto de edição, à qual associamos os cortes de profissionais e a consequente necessidade de trabalhar no modo multitarefa. Buscamos mostrar que, na base da transferência da produção de imagens dos repórteres fotográficos para repórteres de texto, há um fetiche tecnológico que não se sustenta. Conclui-se pelo risco que tais procedimentos acarretam para o Jornalismo quando tornam sua produção mais superficial.
processo de game design e categorização de jogos segundo Roger Caillois
Authors: Martin Mastrocola Vicente
Published: December 2023

Neste artigo, discutimos o fértil terreno da indústria de games na contemporaneidade. Por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e pesquisas de mercado, buscamos ilustrar as potencialidades do mercado em questão e como se dá o processo de concepção de experiência para um projeto de jogo digital. Ancorados nas quatro categorias de jogos apresentadas por Roger Caillois (1986 [1964]) e com exemplos emblemáticos de mercado, trazemos uma reflexão de como pensar estrategicamente a concepção de um game digital e materializar a mesma em um documento no qual uma equipe venha a trabalhar a criação de um jogo deste tipo. Nas conclusões deste texto, visamos uma aproximação com a pujante indústria de games e o pensamento acadêmico que pode nortear determinadas decisões para a criação de um produto nessa seara.

Clay minerals and continental-scale remagnetisation: a case study of South American Neoproterozoic carbonates
Authors: Bellon Ualisson Donardelli , Trindade Ricardo IF , Williams Wyn , Galante Douglas , Sant'Anna Lucy Gomes , Pescarini Thales
Published: December 2023

Carbonate rocks frequently undergo remagnetisation events, which can
partially/completely erase their primary detrital remanence and
introduce a secondary component through thermoviscous and/or chemical
processes. Despite belonging to different basins hundreds of kilometres
apart, the Neoproterozoic carbonate rocks of South America (over the
Amazon and São Francisco cratons) exhibit a statistically
indistinguishable single-polarity characteristic direction carried by
monoclinic pyrrhotite and magnetite, with paleomagnetic poles far from
an expected detrital remanence. We use a combination of classical rock
magnetic properties and micro-to-nanoscale imaging/chemical analysis
using synchrotron radiation to examine thin sections of these
remagnetised carbonate rocks. Magnetic data shows that most of our
samples failed to present anomalous hysteresis properties, usually
referred to as part of the “fingerprints” of carbonate
remagnetisation. Combining scanning electron
microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), highly
sensitive X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(XAS) revealed the presence of subhedral/anhedral magnetite, or
spherical grains with a core-shell structure of magnetite surrounded by
maghemite. These grains are within the pseudo-single domain size range
(as well as most of the iron sulphides) and spatially associated with
potassium-bearing aluminium silicates. Although fluid percolation and
organic matter maturation might play an important role,
smectite-illitisation seems a crucial factor controlling the growth of
these phases. X-ray diffraction analysis identifies these silicates as
predominantly highly crystalline illite, suggesting exposure to epizone
temperatures. Therefore, we suggest that the remanence of these rocks
should have been thermally reset during the final Gondwana assembly, and
locked in a successive cooling event during the Early-Middle Ordovician.

PRISMA is a hyperspectral satellite mission launched by the Italian
Space Agency (ASI) in April 2019. The mission is designed to collect
data at global scale for a variety of applications, including those
related to the cryosphere. This study presents an evaluation of PRISMA
Level 1 (L1) and Level 2 (L2D) products for different snow conditions.
To the aim, PRISMA data were collected at three sites: two in the
Western European Alps (Torgnon and Plateau Rosa) and one in East
Antarctica (Nansen Ice Shelf). PRISMA data were acquired contemporary to
both field measurements and Sentinel-2 data. Simulated Top of the
Atmosphere (TOA) radiance data were then compared to L1 PRISMA and
Sentinel-2 TOA radiance. Bottom Of Atmosphere (BOA) reflectance from
PRISMA L2D and Sentinel-2 L2A data were then evaluated by direct
comparison with field data.Both TOA radiance and BOA reflectance PRISMA products were generally in
good agreement with field data, showing a Mean Absolute Difference (MAD)
lower than 5%. L1 PRISMA TOA radiance products resulted in higher MAD
for the site of Torgnon, which features the highest topographic
complexity within the investigated areas. In Plateau Rosa we obtained
the best comparison between PRISMA L2D reflectance data and in situ
measurements, with MAD values lower than 5 % for the 400-900nm range.
The Nansen Ice Shelf instead resulted in MAD values <10%
between PRISMA L2D and field data, while Sentinel-2 BOA reflectance
showed higher values than other data sources.
Plausible hybrid-infrastructure alternatives for enhancing climate resilience of coastal communities -a case of megacity of Mumbai, India
Authors: Jain Jinal , Dhiman Ravinder

Number: 1424249

Marginalized vulnerable coastal communities living along the urban
coasts are continuously under the dual threat of natural hazards and the
adverse impact of infrastructure development, which results in the
increase of cumulative risk for these communities. Further, the
irreversible impacts of climate change have also exacerbated the risks
associated with aging infrastructure and vulnerable coastal communities.
Therefore, strengthening the climate resilience of such communities
stands as a duly acknowledged priority for developing nations. One of
the possible solutions to strengthen climate resilience is through the
development and implementation of sustainable hybrid infrastructure
alternatives. In this work, we characterized the data-driven Coastal
Infrastructure Resilience Index (CIRI) to assess the performance of
existing coastal infrastructure along the coast of Mumbai City in India.
This study thoroughly utilized the potential of high-resolution
remote-sensing imagery and socio-economic parameters from SEDAC data to
derive CIRI. The robustness of the CIRI is improved with integrated
value function and expert knowledge. As both grey infrastructure, such
as seawalls, levees, and bulkheads and green infrastructure, such as
salt marshes, mangroves, beaches, dunes, oysters and coral reefs have
limited resilience in a multi-hazard environment, we identified the
major hotspots of concerns through CIRI to propose the plausible hybrid
(green-grey) infrastructure alternatives (green-grey) using Adaptive
Gradient Framework for Mumbai’s coastal context. Adapting Hybrid
infrastructure alternatives empowers coastal communities with heightened
climate benefits and co-benefits. The major findings of this study
contribute as a science-policy instrument to localize the Sustainable
Development Goals 11(11.5, 11. b), 13, and 14.2 of the United Nations.
