Authors: SU TOPBAŞ Zehra , ŞİMŞEK Nuray
Published: June 2023

Transaksiyonel Analiz (TA) bireylerin davranışlarını ve iletişim biçimlerini anlamak adına kapsamlı bir yaklaşım olarak görülmektedir. Kurama ait kavramların bir kısmını günlük hayatta fark etmek ve somutlaştırmak kolay olsa da, kuramın bazı soyut kavramlarını anlamak adına Kış Uykusu filminde yer alan örneklerin yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada Kış Uykusu filmi doküman inceleme yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. İlk olarak film araştırmacılar tarafından bağımsız olarak birer kez izlenmiş, olası örnek sahneler gruplanmıştır. Araştırmacılar tarafından ilgili sahneler tekrar izlenmiş ve TA yaklaşımına göre örnekler not edilmiştir. Araştırmacılar örneklere ilişkin görüşlerini tartışmış ve görüş birliğine varmışlardır. Filmde yer alan sahnelerden kurama ait Ego Durumları, Transaksiyonlar, Temas İletileri, Zamanı Yapılandırma, Yaşam Pozisyonları ve Senaryo Analizi kavramlarına ait örnekler bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak Kış Uykusu filmi TA yaklaşımı kavramlarına dair unsurlar bulunduran bir eserdir. Eser, kuramın özellikle Oyun Analizi, Temas İletileri ve Senaryo Analizi gibi anlaması görece zor olan kavramlarını somutlaştırmak adına eğitim uygulamalarında kullanılabilir. Eğitim içeriğinde TA yaklaşımı bulunan lisans ve lisansüstü programlarda Kış Uykusu filminin izlenmesinin ve kuram kapsamında tartışılmasının yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

A sensitive and specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of 4 compounds used for treating hypertension as adulterants in herbal products. The method was validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, accuracy, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), and precision in accordance with AOAC and ICH guidelines. The LOD and LOQ of all compounds were about 0.3 ng/mL and 1 ng/mL, respectively. The linearity was good (R2 > 0.999), with intra-day and inter-day precision levels not more than 9.85% and 8.51%, respectively, and 81.9 – 109.8% accuracies. Thirty commercial herbal products consisting of traditional medicines and dietary supplements available in Vietnamese markets were tested. While none contained detectable amounts of the 4 antihypertensive compounds, the developed LC-MS/MS procedure can be used for routine analysis to monitor illegal adulteration in various forms of herbal products.

Salted and smoked pork leg products (Ham) have become prevalent in the world for a long time. Although these foods have appeared in Vietnam for a few years, consumers warmly received them due to their tasty specificity. The quality of this product group is affected by several technological factors, including the composition of salty solution and additives, the technique of bringing meat, the heat treatment process (drying, smoking, steaming), and storage conditions. Therefore, the research of production technology to ensure food safety and hygiene are essential. Furthermore, level 2 orthogonal experimental matrix and optimization of technological factors have been applied for the best product quality. The study provides a perfect example of the production technology of bringing and drying meat products to ensure food hygiene and safety for consumers, contributing to promoting the domestic meat processing industry to develop in the direction of industrialization, safety, and integration.

Published: June 2023

Financial fraud is a serious threat that is expanding effects on the financial sector. The use of credit cards is growing as digitization and internet transactions advance daily. The most common issues in today's culture are credit card scams. This kind of fraud typically happens when someone uses someone else's credit card details. Credit card fraud detection uses transaction data attributes to identify credit card fraud, which can save significant financial losses and affluence the burden on the police. The detection of credit card fraud has three difficulties: uneven data, an abundance of unseen variables, and the selection of an appropriate threshold to improve the models' reliability. This study employs a modified Logistic Regression (LR) model to detect credit card fraud in order to get over the preceding difficulties. The dataset sampling strategy, variable choice, and detection methods employed all have a significant impact on the effectiveness of fraud detection in credit card transactions. The effectiveness of naive bayes, k-nearest neighbour, and logistic regression on highly skewed credit card fraud data is examined in this research. The accuracy of the logistic regression technique will be closer to 0.98%; with this accuracy, frauds may be easily detected. The fact that LR receives the highest classifier score illustrates how well LR predicts credit card theft.

El juego de hacer versos: incentivar el hábito lector y la creatividad literaria en el aula a través de la escritura de haikus
Authors: Rodríguez Cabrera Josep M. , Ballester-Roca Josep , Arlandis López Sergio
Published: June 2023

Ante los bajos índices de lectura del alumnado actual, este trabajo defiende el uso de la escritura creativa en general y del haiku en particular para el fomento de un hábito lector estable y autónomo entre los discentes. Independientemente de su edad o nivel. Para ello se ampara en el uso del juego como recurso educativo, que ya cuenta con una larga tradición en Occidente que se remonta a los tiempos de Platón. Y analiza, a la manera de evidencias, varios haikus publicados por aprendices japoneses y españoles ―de institutos de Lucena y de Velilla de San Antonio― de entre 5 y 14 años, para así confirmar cómo su escritura lleva implícita un proceso de lectura y de interiorización. Una interiorización que rompe con la dinámica de lectura superficial.
A participatory project for the Librino Social Housing Community.
Authors: De Medici Stefania , Marchiano Giulia , Pinto Maria Rita
Published: June 2023

Social housing is the outcome of policymaking aimed at guaranteeing adequate living conditions for disadvantaged social groups. In Italy, in the post-war reconstruction period, buildings designed by internationally renowned architects, led to results of such high design quality that it is essential to preserve them. Nevertheless, their advanced degradation and functional obsolescence are due to being built with construction systems focused on quick completion and cost-effectiveness, as well as a lack of maintenance. Such conditions now impose performance upgrades and reuse for services and collective spaces. The paper addresses the issue of the recovery of this housing stock in the Italian context, analyzing the case of Librino (Catania). The research question is based on evidence that the lack of services and collective spaces in the suburbs leads people to move to other areas of the city for work, health, education, culture, and leisure. The proposed approach investigates the overall organization of the neighborhood, up to reuse pilots, as for the Moncada Theater, to improve the overall quality and attractiveness of the area, even with minor renovations. The theatre, which was abandoned before completion, is an example of how only housing was built or completed in residential areas designed to provide a wide range of services for citizens as a result of a funding shortfall. Reuse decisions are the result of user involvement with a view to social and cultural sustainability.

Leye Cave (Dordogne, France) is a laboratory cave in the Vézère area, a region that contains some of the most famous rock art caves in the world such as Lascaux, Font-de-Gaume and Combarelles, and is listed as Human World Heritage by UNESCO. Leye Cave was selected because it is representative of painted caves, with respect to parameters such as its geological stage, the presence of water and carbon dioxide, the geological state of its walls, and the size of the cave. These wall states are studied to better understand the conditions of conservation of rock art caves without damaging them. The choice of an equivalent medium, i.e., a non-painted cave, was made to be able to conduct experiments or take measurements that would not have been possible in a rock art cave. The climatic conditions (temperature, hygrometry, etc.) monitored since 2011 are central to our understanding of the genesis and evolution of wall states. Leye Cave is sub-horizontal then descendant, forming a cold air trap. The phenomenon of condensation is thought to be important in the genesis of these wall states. Our article presents a model which describes the competition that exists between the conduction of the rock heating the air and the convection cooling the rock, in the area named the “Throne Chamber”, located in the deepest parts of the cave.
Voice, Choice and Power: Using co-production to develop a community engagement strategy for an ethnically diverse community
Authors: Caperon Lizzie , Ahern Sara , Saville Fiona , Community Reference Group Better Start Bradford
Published: June 2023

The context of the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the need to increase co-production activities to empower communities. The pandemic has further highlighted systemic health and socioeconomic inequities, especially for those from ethnic minority communities and in areas of economic deprivation. This research article presents a complex, collaborative process of co-production we undertook as part of the service design of Community Engagement work within the Better Start Bradford Programme; a program of projects for pregnant women and families with children aged 0–4 years living in an ethnically diverse area. Using theory of change as our underpinning theoretical framework, we co-produced a community engagement logic model or ‘strategy’. Our approach involved nine 90-minute workshops with a range of community stakeholders. We used the seven Scottish National Standards for Community Engagement and Communities’ self-identified key concepts of ‘voice’, ‘choice’ and ‘power’ to structure the partnership activity. Workshop discussions were analysed using qualitative framework analysis, and we developed a comprehensive, multi-faceted community engagement logic model with the community.

Discussions with the community highlighted that (1) the COVID-19 pandemic had opened new avenues of community engagement, primarily virtual ones, and a blended offer of face-to-face and online activities; (2) vital support for community readiness to engage, facilitated through culturally sensitive engagement delivered by trusted sources, transparent governance processes and informal consultation, combined with a flexible approach to adapting to the community’s needs; (3) the need for a continuous reflective process of recruitment to key governance roles to include a range of diverse voices to ensure power is given to community voices.

A strong two-way feedback loop is at the core of our community engagement strategy, with both the community and the organisation playing equal roles.
'I want to be screened just like the pirates!': The Power of Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Theatre to Aid Research Participation

Published: June 2023

Research participation is an important component of advancing whole health and eliminating health disparities, especially in communities facing environmental justice (EJ) issues. Though federally mandated, recruitment of racial and ethnic minorities can be a daunting task and recruitment of children an even greater challenge. A range of typical recruitment strategies (printed materials, word of mouth, broadcast etc.) for those of ethnically and culturally diverse backgrounds have exhibited only limited to modest success, depending on the community being served and the type of engagement. To date, there has been only limited assessment of the use of community-based participatory research (CBPR) theatre as a culturally relevant recruitment strategy.

The ENRRICH Railyard Study used CBPR theatre to engage an underserved EJ community, and to assess the health impact of residential proximity to a major freight railyard. The railyard community is comprised of primarily low-income Hispanic families. To promote participation, a CBPR theatre play – a partnership between a community- based organisation (CBO) and a university institution – was produced, from design to production, at two elementary schools. Following the play, parental consents and surveys were sent home. The response was immediate and one of the largest to date – 74 percent of children participated in the study.

The CBPR theatre, university and CBO partnership provided an opportunity to engage under-served minority children and their parents, thus encouraging participation and facilitating educationon respiratory health and the environment. This article includes experiences and lessons learned from using CBPR theatre to encourage study participation, critical for promoting sustainable change in an EJ community.
Restoring social cohesion after widespread rape of women in Democratic Republic of the Congo’s local community through conflict transformation : a case study
Authors:   , Mauwa Josephine Kimanu
Published: June 2023

Armed conflicts have caused extreme human suffering in which rape against women has been a major and gruesome factor. This is true in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Although the issue of sexual violence is documented throughout the country, the South Kivu region remains the most affected. The systematic and widespread sexual violence has wreaked havoc and destroyed social cohesion at the individual, relational and community levels in South Kivu. The damage to social cohesion has been seen in threats to the community dimensions of rape survivors, children born from rape, and perpetrators, all of whom are the main components of the inquiry. This damage has led the community to shape and produce as social outcasts a marginalised group of women, unwanted children born from rape, and outlawed perpetrators. Community cohesiveness has also been threatened and complicated by the frivolous culture based on sexual socialization before rape incidents. Hence, the need to address social cohesion after widespread rape in South Kivu is enormous. The aim of this research was to explore the ways in which social cohesion could be restored by means of conflict transformation in local communities in South-Kivu after widespread rape against women that occurred between 1996 and 2016. Although various responses have focused on women as victims of rape and have ignored both children born of rape and the perpetrators, they are also affected. This weakens the rape survivors’ social reintegration. Therefore, the children and the perpetrators need to be included in the process of recreating social cohesion. Conflict transformation was used to contribute to restoring social cohesion, with positive results for rape survivors. Interventions were done in three main ways: training, family dialogue mixed with community awareness involving community leaders and custom law-keepers, and the creation of literacy centres. The use of participatory action research methodology led to increased knowledge from training, an improvement in relationships, and the boosting of rape survivors’ leadership capabilities and skills. The overall results of the inquiry reveal that mechanisms of social reintegration for rape survivors lies in their acceptance, through which rape survivors’ post-traumatic growth and quality of relationships in the community are enhanced. Thus, community cohesiveness and the rape survivors’ restoration of intra- and inter-personal relationships remains a shared responsibility, with each main group affected resorting to specific mechanisms for healing, be they self-initiated or supported.

Published: June 2023

This study explained a green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Nepeta pogonosperma extract and evaluated their antibacterial activity. Optimization of the temperature, concentration, pH, and reaction time was established to produce silver nanoparticles. The best condition was 10 mM AgNO3, pH = 14, temperature 85 °C, and reaction time 24 hours. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by colour-changing, UV-vis, FE-SEM, EDX, XRD, FT-IR, and DLS analysis. The prepared AgNPs had a spherical shape with an average size of 51.21±0.02 nm. In addition, our biofabricated nanoparticles displayed potential antibacterial activity against the tested strains. The MIC value of 1.17 µg/mL was determined against strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Escherichia coli and 2.34 µg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis and Enterococcus faecalis. Furthermore, AgNPs exhibited excellent antifungal effects against Candida albicans strains (0.073 μg/mL). In general, N. pogonosperma played an important role in reducing Ag(+1) to Ag(0) and the production of Ag(0) with suitable surface features in combination with efficient biological activities.

Authors: Singha Uttam Kumar , Pradhan Sudarshan , Mishra Dipu Kumar , Gurung Pritika , Chettri Anmol , Sinha Biswajit
Published: June 2023

The azo Schiff base ligand was synthesised, along with its Ni(II) complex, by diazotisation of salicylaldehyde with 4-nitroaniline in accordance with the accepted literature approach. Using a variety of spectroscopic techniques, the resulting complex is analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively (Elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy, 1H NMR, etc.). Spectral measurements of the complex revealed a mole ratio of 1:1. The non-electrolytic nature of the complex is confirmed by molar conductance investigation. The unique azo compound had a tetrahedral shape as a result of the tetra coordination of two phenolic oxygen and two imine nitrogen. The ability of the metal complexes to bind DNA was examined using absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, viscosity tests, and thermal denaturation methods. Experimental research suggests that complexes bind to DNA through intercalation.

Abbasi Şairi İbnü’r-Rûmî’nin Şiirlerinde Hikmet
Authors: ARSLAN Adnan
Published: June 2023

Yaklaşık beş asır süren Abbâsîler Devleti’nin Arap şiiri açısından oldukça verimli kabul edilen ilk asırlarında büyük şairler yetişmiştir. Bunlardan biri olan İbnü’r-Rûmî (öl. 283/896), Arap şiirinin en hacimli divanına sahip bir şairdir. Hemen her temada şiir kaleme almış olan şairin temayüz eden tarafı tartışmasız onun kural tanımaz hicivleridir. Öyle ki Abbâsî dönemi şiirinde hiciv denildiğinde ilk akla gelen isim İbnü’r-Rûmî’dir. Şair hakkında Arap dünyasında yapılmış akademik çalışmalara bakıldığında çoğu araştırmanın onun hiciv şiirlerine odaklandığı görülür. Hâlbuki İbnü’r-Rûmî’nin methiye ve hiciv temalı şiirleri içerisinde serpiştirilmiş hikmet içerikli beyitleri de hatırı sayılır bir kemiyettedir. Hatta şairin hikmet temasına tahsis ettiği kasideleri vardır. Şair bu hikmet şiirlerinde kendi hayat tecrübelerini aktarırken çoğu zaman teşbih ve istiarelere başvurarak ifadelerinin ikna gücünü arttırmış ve sözlerinin birer mesel haline dönüşmesini sağlamıştır. Bu tür nitelikli beyitlere hacimce büyük divanında sıklıkla rastlanmaktadır. Diğer taraftan şairin herhangi bir edebî sanatla süslemeye çalışmadığı ve mesajını somutlaştıracak bir teşbih yahut istiareye de başvurmadığı görece düşük nitelikli beyitleri de fark edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada İbnü’r-Rûmî’nin bu iki kısımdaki hikmet temalı şiirlerinden dikkat çeken örnekler seçilmiş ve bunlar içerik ve edebî sanatlar açısından incelenmiştir.

Published: June 2023

Şiir, Arapçanın kurallarını belirlemede nahiv âlimlerinin tercih ettiği dilsel malzemelerdendir. Nitekim Arapçanın kendine özgü saf yapısını muhafaza edebilme özelliği sebebiyle bütün nahivciler tarafından istişhâd faaliyetinde kullanılmıştır. Bununla beraber her duyulan şiirin ihticâca konu olmadığı, bu konuda bazı kriterlerin olduğu belirtilmiştir. Belli bir zaman diliminde kaleme alınan şiirlerin nahiv meselelerine delil olarak sürülebileceği genel kabul görmüştür. Ayrıca her ne kadar ilk dönem nahiv çalışmalarında şâirin belli olması gerektiğine yönelik bir şart ileri sürülmemiş olsa da özellikle dil ekolleri arasındaki tartışmalarda bu konu gündeme gelmiş ve böylece şâiri meçhûl beyit problemi ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışma şâiri meçhûl beytin dilsel faaliyete konu olup olmamasına dair ileri sürülen farklı görüşleri ele almaktadır. Kaynaklarda başta Enbârî (ö. 577/1181), Ebû Hayyân (ö. 745/1344) ve İbn Hişâm (ö. 761/1360) olmak üzere bu konuda birbirinden farklı görüş beyan edenlerin olduğu zikredilmektedir. Makalede Sîbeveyhi’den (ö. 180/796) başlanarak konunun tarihi arka planı çizilmeye çalışılacak, söz konusu âlimlerin konu hakkındaki görüşleri incelenerek varsa onlara yapılan itirazlar ve eleştiriler değerlendirilecek ve “Bir beytin reddi için şâirin meçhûl oluşu tek başına yeterli midir?” sorusuna cevap aranacaktır.

Reducing errors on estimates of the carbon uptake period based on time series of atmospheric CO2
Authors: Kariyathan Theertha , Bastos Ana , Marshall Julia , Peters Wouter , Tans Pieter , Reichstein Markus
Published: June 2023

Abstract. High-quality, long-time-series measurements of atmospheric greenhouse gases show interannual variability in the measured seasonal cycles. These changes can be analyzed to better understand the carbon cycle and the impact of climate drivers. However, nearly all discrete measurement records contain gaps and have noise due to the influence of local fluxes or synoptic variability. To facilitate analysis, filtering and curve-fitting techniques are often applied to these time series. Previous studies have recognized that there is an inherent uncertainty associated with this curve fitting, and the choice of a given mathematical method might introduce biases. Since uncertainties are seldom propagated to the metrics under study, this can lead to misinterpretation of the signal. In this study, we use an ensemble-based approach to quantify the uncertainty of the derived seasonal cycle metrics. We apply it to CO2 dry-air mole fraction time series from flask measurements in the Northern Hemisphere. We use this ensemble-based approach to analyze the carbon uptake period (CUP: the time of the year when the CO2 uptake is greater than the CO2 release): its onset, termination and duration. Previous studies have diagnosed CUP based on the dates on which the detrended, zero-centered seasonal cycle curve switches from positive to negative (the downward zero-crossing date, DZCD) and vice versa (upward zero-crossing date, UZCD). However, the UZCD is sensitive to the skewness of the CO2 seasonal cycle during the net carbon release period. Hence, we develop an alternative method proposed by Barlow et al. (2015) to estimate the onset and termination of the CUP based on a threshold defined in terms of the first derivative of the CO2 seasonal cycle. Using the ensemble approach, we arrive at a tighter constraint to the threshold by considering the annual uncertainty; we call this the ensemble of first derivative (EFD) method. Further, using the EFD approach and an additional curve-fitting algorithm, we show that (a) the uncertainty of the studied metrics is smaller using the EFD method than when approximated using the timing of the zero-crossing date (ZCD), and (b) the onset and termination dates derived with the EFD method provide more robust results, irrespective of the curve-fitting method applied to the data.

Abstract. Convective wind gusts (CGs) are usually related to thunderstorms, and they may cause great structural damage and serious hazards, such as train derailment, service interruption, and building collapse. Due to the small-scale and nonstationary nature of CGs, reliable CG nowcasting with high spatial and temporal resolutions has remained unattainable. In this study, a novel nowcasting model based on deep learning – namely, CGsNet – is developed for 0–2 h lead times of quantitative CG nowcasting, achieving minute–kilometer-level forecasts. CGsNet is a physics-constrained model established by training on large corpora of average surface wind speed (ASWS) and radar observations; it can produce realistic and spatiotemporally consistent ASWS predictions in CG events. By combining the gust factor (1.77, the ratio of the observed peak wind gust speed (PWGS) to the ASWS) with the ASWS predictions, the PWGS forecasts are estimated with a spatial resolution of 0.01∘ × 0.01∘ and a 6 min temporal resolution. CGsNet is shown to be effective, and it has an essential advantage in learning the spatiotemporal features of CGs. In addition, quantitative evaluation experiments indicate that CGsNet exhibits higher generalization performance for CGs than the traditional nowcasting method based on numerical weather prediction models. CG-nowcasting technology can be applied to provide real-time quantitative CG forecasts.

Published: June 2023

Abstract. The world's largest ice shelves are found in the Antarctic Weddell Sea
and Ross Sea where complex interactions between the atmosphere, sea ice,
ice shelves and ocean transform shelf waters into High Salinity Shelf Water
(HSSW) and Ice Shelf Water (ISW), the parent waters of Antarctic Bottom
Water (AABW). This process feeds the lower limb of the global overturning
circulation as AABW, the world's densest and deepest water mass, spreads
outwards from Antarctica. None of the coupled climate models contributing to
CMIP6 directly simulated ocean–ice shelf interactions, thereby omitting a
potentially critical piece of the climate puzzle. As a first step towards
better representing these processes in a global ocean model, we run a
1∘ resolution Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO; eORCA1) forced configuration to explicitly
simulate circulation beneath the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS), Larsen C Ice Shelf (LCIS) and
Ross Ice Shelf (RIS). These locations are thought to supply the majority
of the source waters for AABW, and so melt in all other cavities is
provisionally prescribed. Results show that the grid resolution of
1∘ is sufficient to produce melt rate patterns and total melt
fluxes of FRIS (117 ± 21 Gt yr−1), LCIS (36 ± 7 Gt yr−1) and RIS
(112 ± 22 Gt yr−1) that agree well with both high-resolution models and
satellite measurements. Most notably, allowing sub-ice shelf circulation
reduces salinity biases (0.1 psu), produces the previously unresolved water
mass ISW and re-organizes the shelf circulation to bring the regional model
hydrography closer to observations. A change in AABW within the Weddell Sea and
the Ross Sea towards colder, fresher values is identified, but the magnitude is
limited by the absence of a realistic overflow. This study presents a NEMO
configuration that can be used for climate applications with improved
realism of the Antarctic continental shelf circulation and a better
representation of the precursors of AABW.
Review article: Large fluctuations in non-equilibrium physics
Authors: Jona-Lasinio Giovanni
Published: June 2023

Abstract. Non-equilibrium is dominant in geophysical and climate phenomena. However the study of non-equilibrium is much more difficult than equilibrium, and the relevance of probabilistic simplified models has been emphasized. Large deviation rates have been used recently in climate science. In this paper, after recalling progress during the last decades in understanding the role of large deviations in a class of non-equilibrium systems, we point out differences between equilibrium and non-equilibrium. For example, in non-equilibrium (a) large deviation rates may be extensive but not simply additive. (b) In non-equilibrium there are generically long-range space correlations, so large deviation rates are non-local. (c) Singularities in large deviation rates denote the existence of phase transitions often not possible in equilibrium. To exemplify, we shall refer to lattice gas models like the symmetric simple exclusion process and other models which are playing an important role in the understanding of non-equilibrium physics. The reasons why all this may be of interest in climate physics will be briefly indicated.
Why is Summertime Arctic Sea Ice Drift Speed Projected to Decrease?
Authors: Ward Jamie L. , Tandon Neil F.
Published: June 2023

Abstract. Alongside declining Arctic sea ice cover during the satellite era, there have also been positive trends in sea ice Arctic-average drift speed (AADS) during both winter and summer. This increasing sea ice motion is an important consideration for marine transportation as well as a potential feedback on the rate of sea ice area decline. Earlier studies have shown that nearly all modern global climate models (GCMs) produce positive March (winter) AADS trends for both the historical period and future warming scenarios. However, most GCMs do not produce positive September (summer) AADS trends during the historical period, and nearly all GCMs project decreases in September AADS with future warming. This study seeks to understand the mechanisms driving these projected summertime AADS decreases using output from 17 models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) along with 10 runs of the Community Earth System Model version 2 Large Ensemble (CESM2-LE). The CESM2-LE analysis reveals that the projected summertime AADS decreases are due to changes in sea surface height (SSH) which act to reduce sea ice motion in the Beaufort Gyre and Transpolar Drift. During March, changes in internal stress and wind stress counteract these tilt force changes and produce positive drift speed trends. The simulated wintertime mechanisms are supported by earlier observational studies, which gives confidence that the mechanisms driving summertime projections are likely also at work in the real world. However, additional research is needed to assess whether the simulated summertime internal stresses are too weak compared to the tilt forces. The projected summertime SSH changes are primarily due to freshening of the Arctic Ocean (i.e. halosteric expansion), with thermal expansion acting as a secondary contribution. The associated ocean circulation changes lead to additional piling up of water in the Russian shelf regions, which further reinforces the SSH increase. CMIP6 models also show evidence of SSH-driven projected decreases in summertime Arctic sea ice motion, but the models show a wide range of regional SSH trend patterns. Due to small ensemble sizes and the unavailability of required daily output, we were not able to further examine mechanisms in the CMIP6 models. Altogether, our results motivate additional studies to understand the role of SSH in driving changes of Arctic sea ice motion.
Guillain-Barre Syndrome Mimicked by Spinal Stenosis in A Case of Chronic Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc: A Case Report
Authors: Lee Yi Xuan
Published: June 2023

Background: Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a rare acute autoimmune polyneuropathy, usually preceded by infections. It can be difficult to diagnose, especially in patients with underlying neurological comorbidities.
Case: A 54-year-old male, with a long history of a prolapsed intervertebral disc, presented with progressive and asymmetrical onset tetraparesthesia for 4 weeks, which was associated with progressive paraparesis for 2 weeks. The diagnosis of GBS was initially missed due to a lack of relevant history of prior infection, atypical presentation (asymmetrical limb weakness), and radiological evidence of spinal stenosis. Nerve conduction study, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and antiganglioside antibodies later confirmed the diagnosis of GBS. The patient was started on intravenous immunoglobulin and achieved significant improvement. He was discharged a week later and transferred to a rehabilitation hospital.
Conclusion: GBS should not be excluded prior to diagnostic tests and lab work in neurological patients. Physicians should avoid over-reliance on radiological findings to conclude a diagnosis. Comprehensive history and examinations to understand the development of patients' presentations should be prioritized when establishing a diagnosis.
Exploring the Relationship between Psoriasis and Pregnancy: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Patra Pratiksha
Published: June 2023

This systematic literature review examines the relationship between psoriasis and pregnancy to elucidate possible new routes of treatment. Findings from this review help reduce the gap in the literature on the topic as well as educate physicians and pregnant women with psoriasis on how psoriasis may present along the course of pregnancy and thereafter. Searches were primarily conducted in three databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Embase. Articles considered for inclusion in this literature review focused on the presentation of psoriasis during pregnancy. The literature sample obtained consisted of 14 peer-reviewed articles published from 2012-2022. As codes were identified, a master code list was developed. Second cycle coding involved categorizing of the data allowing for codes to combine and emerge as themes. Five themes were identified through categorical analysis: immunology, general sex hormones, estrogen, progesterone, and the HLA-Cw6 allele. Collectively, these findings elucidate the individual nature of psoriasis and identify progesterone as a possible non-teratogenic therapy. Primarily, the presence of the HLA-Cw6 allele in a woman’s genome along with the individual variation of estrogen receptors reinforces the researcher’s recommendation of genetic testing following a psoriasis diagnosis. This genetic testing may allow patients and physicians to best understand what to expect of psoriasis during pregnancy as well as help determine the most efficacious treatment course to follow for therapy.
