Abstract. Vehicle exhaust, as a major source of air pollutants in urban areas, contains a complex mixture of organic vapours including long-chain alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. The atmospheric oxidation of vehicle emissions is a highly complex system as inorganic gases (e.g. NOx and SO2) from other urban sources coexist and therefore remains poorly understood. In this work, the photooxidation of n-dodecane, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, and their mixture is studied in the presence of NOx and SO2 to mimic the atmospheric oxidation of urban vehicle emissions (including diesel and gasoline vehicles), and the formation of ozone and secondary aerosols is investigated. It is found that ozone formation is enhanced by higher OH concentration and higher temperature, but is influenced little by SO2 concentration. However, SO2 can largely enhance the particle formation in both number and mass concentrations, likely due to the promoted new particle formation and acid-catalysed heterogeneous reactions from the formation of sulfuric acid. In addition, organo-sulfates and organo-nitrates are detected in the formed particles, and the presence of SO2 can promote the formation of organo-sulfates. These results provide a scientific basis for systematically evaluating the effects of SO2, OH concentration, and temperature on the oxidation of mixed organic gases in the atmosphere that produce ozone and
secondary particles.
Potential contributions of nitrifiers and denitrifiers to nitrous oxide sources and sinks in China's estuarine and coastal areas

Published: August 2022

Abstract. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important ozone-depleting
greenhouse gas produced and consumed by microbially mediated nitrification
and denitrification pathways. Estuaries are intensive N2O emission
regions in marine ecosystems. However, the potential contributions of
nitrifiers and denitrifiers to N2O sources and sinks in China's
estuarine and coastal areas are poorly understood. The abundance and
transcription of six key microbial functional genes involved in
nitrification and denitrification, as well as the clade II-type nosZ
gene-bearing community composition of N2O reducers, were investigated
in four estuaries spanning the Chinese coastline. The results showed that
the ammonia-oxidizing archaeal amoA genes and transcripts were more dominant in
the northern Bohai Sea (BS) and Yangtze River estuaries, which had low
nitrogen concentrations, while the denitrifier nirS genes and transcripts were
more dominant in the southern Jiulong River (JRE) and Pearl River estuaries,
which had high levels of terrestrial nitrogen input. Notably, the nosZ clade II
gene was more abundant than the clade I-type throughout the estuaries except
for in the JRE and a few sites of the BS, while the opposite transcript
distribution pattern was observed in these two estuaries. The gene and
transcript distributions were significantly constrained by nitrogen and
oxygen concentrations as well as by salinity, temperature, and pH. The nosZ clade
II gene-bearing community composition along China's coastline had a high level of
diversity and was distinctly different from that in the soil and in marine
oxygen-minimum-zone waters. By comparing the gene distribution patterns
across the estuaries with the distribution patterns of the N2O
concentration and flux, we found that denitrification may principally
control the N2O emissions pattern.
Reconstructing ocean carbon storage with CMIP6 models and synthetic Argo observations

Published: August 2022

Abstract. The ocean carbon store plays a vital role in setting the carbon response to emissions and variability in the carbon cycle. However, due to the ocean’s strong regional and temporal variability, sparse carbon observations limit our understanding of historical carbon changes. We explore how widespread Argo temperature and salinity profiles can provide information to reconstruct ocean carbon inventories with Ensemble Optimal Interpolation. Ensemble Optimal Interpolation draws upon first-order relationships between variables, and high-complexity climate models been used previously to reconstruct interior ocean heat content and salinity changes from Argo profiles. The CMIP6 model ensemble shows coherent relationships between upper-ocean carbon, temperature, salinity, and atmospheric CO2 that result in solutions that reflect the controls of undersaturation, solubility, and alkalinity. The Ensemble Optimal Interpolation method is tested with synthetic reconstructions of upper-ocean carbon fields using perfect information of temperature and salinity changes, along with atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Sensitivity tests of show that, in most regions, the trend in ocean carbon and over 60 % of detrended variability can be reconstructed using local temperature and salinity measurements. Expanding the synthetic reconstructions to include irregular sampling consistent with Argo profile locations results in a similar capacity to reconstruct ocean carbon variability, as the increased information provided from multiple sampling locations compensates for the propagation of errors within the CMIP6 covariance fields. Overall, our work indicates that hydrographic measurements can provide valuable information about changes in the ocean carbon inventory. The flexibility of optimal interpolation indicates a strong potential for new, independent, and mechanistic estimates of the historical carbon inventory that can be used to compare with other estimates of the ocean carbon system.

Published: August 2022

Abstract. This study presents an estimate of historical snow conditions in Iceland and a projection of these conditions, given different emission scenarios. Historical snow conditions were estimated using in situ observations from manned meteorological stations over the period 1930–2021 and by remote sensing observations from the MODIS instruments over the period 2001–2021. Historical and future climate conditions, as described by each of the 21 Global Circulation Models (GCM’s) from the 5th iteration of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) as contained in the NASA Earth Exchange (NEX) Global Daily Downscaled Projections (GDDP) dataset, were used to simulate snow conditions in Iceland over the period 1950–2100 under the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) RCP45 and RCP85 with the Snow17 model. The results show an increase in the average annual Snow Cover Frequency (SCF) over the historical record detected both in the in-situ (1930–2021) and remotely sensed data (2001–2021). Average annual snow depth measurements also revealed an increasing trend over the historical record. Simulated snow conditions show a substantial decrease in both Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) and SCF over the period 1950–2100, a trend more pronounced under RCP85 as compared to RCP45.
Modeling the Influence of Chain Length on SOA Formation via Multiphase Reactions of Alkanes
Authors: Madhu Azad , Jang Myoseon , Deacon David
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Secondary Organic Aerosol (SOA) from diesel fuel is known to be significantly sourced from the atmospheric oxidation of aliphatic hydrocarbons. In this study, the formation of linear-alkane SOA was predicted using the Unified Partitioning Aerosol Phase Reaction (UNIPAR) model that simulated multiphase reactions of hydrocarbons. In the model, the formation of oxygenated products from the photooxidation of linear alkanes was simulated using a near-explicit gas kinetic mechanism. Autoxidation paths integrated with alkyl peroxy radicals were added to the Master Chemical Mechanismv3.3.1 to improve the formation of low volatility products in the gas phase and better predict SOA mass. The resulting gas products were then classified into volatility-reactivity based lumping groups that are linked to mass-based stoichiometric coefficients. The SOA mass in the UNIPAR model is produced via three major pathways: partitioning of gaseous oxidized products onto both the organic and wet inorganic phases; oligomerization in organic phase; and reactions in the wet inorganic phase (acid-catalyzed oligomerization and organosulfate formation). The model performance was demonstrated for SOA data that were produced through the photooxidation of a homologous series of linear alkanes ranging from C9 to C15 under varying environments (NOx levels, temperature, and inorganic seed conditions) in a large outdoor photochemical smog chamber. The product distributions of linear alkanes were mathematically predicted as a function of carbon number using an incremental volatility coefficient (IVC) to cover a wide range of alkane lengths. The prediction of alkane SOA using the incremental volatility-based product distributions, which were obtained with C9–C12 alkanes, was evaluated for prediction of C13 and C15 chamber data and further extrapolated to predict the SOA from longer chain alkanes (C15) that can be found in diesel. The model simulation of linear alkanes in diesel fuel suggests that SOA mass is mainly produced by alkanes C15 and higher. Alkane SOA is insignificantly impacted by the reactions of organic species in the wet inorganic phase due to the hydrophobicity of products, but significantly influenced by gas-particle partitioning.
AnisoVeg: Anisotropy and Nadir-normalized MODIS MAIAC datasets for satellite vegetation studies in South America

Published: August 2022

Abstract. The AnisoVeg product consists of monthly 1-km composites of anisotropy (ANI) and nadir-normalized (NAD) surface reflectance layers obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor over the entire South America. The satellite data were pre-processed using the Multi-Angle Implementation Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC). The AnisoVeg product spans 22 years of observations (2000 to 2021) and includes the reflectance of MODIS bands 1 to 8 and two vegetation indices (VIs): Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI). While the NAD layers reduce the data variability added by bidirectional effects on the reflectance and VI time series, the unique ANI layers allow the use of this multi-angular data variability as a source of information for vegetation studies. The AnisoVeg product has been generated using daily MODIS MAIAC data from both Terra and Aqua satellites, normalized for a fixed solar zenith angle (SZA = 45°), modelled for three sensor view directions (nadir, forward, and backward scattering), and aggregated to monthly composites. The anisotropy was calculated by the subtraction of modelled backward and forward scattering surface reflectance. The release of the ANI data for open usage is novel, as well as the NAD data at an advance processing level. We demonstrate the use of such data for vegetation studies using three types of forests in eastern Amazon with distinct gradients of vegetation structure and aboveground biomass (AGB). The gradient of AGB was positively associated with ANI, while NAD values were related to different canopy structural characteristics. This was further illustrated by the strong and significant relationship between EVIANI and forest height observations from the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) LiDAR sensor considering a simple linear model (R2 = 0.55). Overall, the time series of the AnisoVeg product (NAD and ANI) provide distinct information for various applications aiming at understanding vegetation structure, dynamics, and disturbance patterns. All data, processing codes and results are made publicly available to enable research and the extension of AnisoVeg products for other regions outside the South America. The code can be found at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6561351 (Dalagnol and Wagner, 2022), EVIANI and EVINAD can be found as assets in the Google Earth Engine (GEE) (described in the data availability section), and the full dataset is available at the open repository  (Dalagnol et al., 2022).
Combined linear-regression and Monte Carlo approach to modeling exposure age depth profiles
Authors: Wang Yiran , Oskin Michael E.
Published: August 2022

Abstract. We introduce a set of methods for analyzing
cosmogenic-nuclide depth profiles that formally integrates denudation and
muogenic production, while retaining the advantages of linear inversion for
surfaces with inheritance and age much greater than zero. For surfaces with
denudation, we present solutions for both denudation rate and total
denudation depth, each with their own advantages. By combining linear
inversion with Monte Carlo simulation of error propagation, our method
jointly assesses uncertainty arising from measurement error and denudation
constraints. Using simulated depth profiles and natural-example depth
profile data sets from the Beida River, northwest China, and Lees Ferry,
Arizona, we show that our methods robustly produce accurate age and
inheritance estimations for surfaces under varying circumstances. For
surfaces with very low inheritance or age, it is important to apply a
constrained inversion to obtain the correct result distributions. The
denudation-depth approach can theoretically produce reasonably accurate age
estimates even when total denudation reaches 5 times the nucleon
attenuation length. The denudation-rate approach, on the other hand, has the advantage of allowing direct exploration of trade-offs between exposure age and denudation rate. Out of all the factors, lack of precise constraints for
denudation rate or depth tends to be the largest contributor of age
uncertainty, while negligible error results from our approximation of
muogenic production using the denudation-depth approach.
A multivariate-driven approach for disentangling the reduction in near-natural Iberian water resources post-1980
Authors: Halifa-Marín Amar , Torres-Vázquez Miguel A. , Pravia-Sarabia Enrique , Lemus-Canovas Marc , Jiménez-Guerrero Pedro , Montávez Juan Pedro
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Although the literature still debates how several anthropogenic and natural factors have
contributed to the recent streamflow decline in the Iberian Peninsula, a
continuing decrease in winter precipitation (WP) has been noticed in this
area since the 1980s and has been associated with large-scale atmospheric drivers. This
contribution assesses the potential propagation of this WP deficit into water resource
variability. For this purpose, the novel “NEar-Natural Water Inflows to REservoirs of Spain” (NENWIRES) dataset was created. The results highlight
that higher decreases in winter water inflows (WWIs) are always
related to WP reductions. However, while the decline in WP was strongly provoked by the
enhancement of the North Atlantic Oscillation index (NAOi) during the study period, WWI reductions could not be
essentially linked to the NAOi behaviour in several NENWIRES catchments. Instead,
the intensification of drought conditions and forest extension promoted WWI
decreases over the target area and aided in
understanding why WWI reductions were generally higher than WP decreases.
In summary, most humid catchments registered a WWI decline that was mainly promoted
by NAOi enhancement, whereas the extension of forest and
evapotranspiration increases seem to explain WWI losses in semi-arid
environments. This contribution sheds light on the recent debate regarding the
magnitude and drivers of water resource decline over southern European regions.

Published: August 2022

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed a magnifying glass on what we have been seeing for a long time. With large-scale impacts across the globe, an increased burden has been placed on people experiencing homelessness who already face barriers to necessities such as housing, food, and quality health care. This qualitative descriptive study explored the experiences of people experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic and of those working for supporting organizations in the Greater Boston Area between July-November 2020. Additionally, the study identified key recommendations for policymakers or service providers to use in creating inclusive policies and emergency response plans that consider the needs of the homeless community. The study comprised individual interviews and focus group discussions from two groups: 1) employees from supporting organizations (medical organizations, shelters, universities, and housing organizations) and 2) people experiencing homelessness. An inductive content analysis of interview transcripts was conducted to identify emerging themes and recommendations. Community dialogues were held with participants to confirm results and explore any new potential topics or recommendations. Four key themes were identified from interviews: 1) Social inclusion, 2) Services and resources, 3) Community support and collaboration, and 4) Government response and policy. Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted major gaps in existing support for people experiencing homelessness on the state and federal levels while also emphasizing the importance of community support and collaboration for this vulnerable population. Further work must be conducted to develop and implement more inclusive policies and regulations to support this community.
Reactive-Agility in Touch Plays an Important Role in Elite Playing Level: Reliability and Validity of a Newly Developed Repeated Up-and-Down Agility Test
Authors: Chow Chi-Ching Gary , Kong Yu-Hin , Wong Chi-Ling
Published: August 2022

Successful athletes are better at performing efficiently than the inferior in particular sports scenarios, while most existing performance tests in the field do not cover the sport-specific context fully. There were two purposes in this study: 1) to evaluate the reliability and validity of a novel Sector Reactive Agility Test (SRAT) which mimicked a reactive-agility defensive scenario in Touch, and 2) to determine the relationships between Touch players' agility and sprint performance. Twenty male Touch players from the elite division and another 20 from the amateur division were invited to participate in this study. They performed SRAT and a 20-m sprint test in two days. Excellent reliability and high precision were found in SRAT (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.97) and 20-m sprint test (ICC = 0.91). The time of completion in SRAT of the elite Touch players (23.93 s) was 2.95 s significantly shorter than that of the amateur players with a large effect size. Elite Touch players also demonstrated moderately faster (0.11 s) than the amateur Touch players in the 20-m sprint test. SRAT demonstrated high test-retest reliability and accuracy in measuring reactive-agility performance in Touch. The minimal detectable changes in SRAT and 20-m sprint test were 1.04 s and 0.13 s respectively. Furthermore, the speed of the 20-m sprint test and playing experience were associated with the time of completion of SRAT, explaining 56% of its variance (p < 0.001). Other factors, such as cognition and the ability to control own central gravity, are deemed possible to influence Touch players' agility. Therefore, SRAT should be adopted in Touch player selection and training monitoring.

Published: August 2022

Neste artigo, de abordagem qualitativa e em perspectiva de pesquisa aplicada, o objeto de estudo constitui-se no município de Triunfo. O objetivo é descrever a cidade em seus aspectos históricos e compreender a busca pela singularização do município em contexto de modernização genérica da rede urbana estadual. Adota-se o modelo de estudos da comunicação como cultura, tendo como disciplinas de apoio a sociologia urbana e a geografia cultural e o folkmarketing como especificidade temática. Argumenta-se pelas paisagens culturais construídas no município, o que inclui a refuncionalização do centro histórico em dois aspectos: a dotação de valor simbólico pela conservação da ideia de lugar e a transformação em espaços de fluxos de informações culturais e artísticas. Conclui-se que, no paradoxo entre espaços de lugares e espaços de fluxos, as paisagens culturais podem ser acionadas como recurso simbólico, e possivelmente transformadas em recursos econômicos.

Published: August 2022

Background: Many factors have been reported to contribute to a decrease in the use of pharmacotherapy to control pain, including the complexity of the medication regime, lack of efficacy, side effects, and cost considerations. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the significant factors associated with the use of pharmacotherapy in pain relief among Indonesian population. Methods: The data was obtained from the fifth wave of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS-5). The sample size was 11,516 persons aged 21-60 years with recent pain. Logistic regressions were utilized to explore the associations between independent characteristics and the outcome of medication use for pain complaints. Results: The majority of the participants were females between the ages of 31 and 40, had a high school diploma or less, were working, practiced Islam, and had no restrictions on their daily activities. The proportions of pharmacotherapy users and non- pharmacotherapy users were 51.44% and 48.56%, respectively. Female gender, older age, poor education level, and limitations in daily activities were all linked with a higher usage of medication. Conclusion: In the Indonesian population, having limitations in daily activities was the strongest predictor of pharmacotherapy usage for recent pain. Implication: People who are older, female, or have a poorer level of education should be the primary focus of education to enhance the pharmacological management of their pain.

INTERNATIONAL LAW, HUMANITARIAN ISSUES, AND THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK: THE AMBIVALENCE OF INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT IN HANDLING REFUGEES
Authors: Bayu Mitra A. Kusuma  , Theresia Octastefani
Published: August 2022

This research aims to reveal the difficulties faced by the Indonesian government in dealing with refugees during the COVID-19 outbreak and find solutions to these problems. To analyze this phenomenon, this research used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was collected through interviews, literature study, and supported by observation. The research result shows that the Indonesian government faces ambivalence in dealing with this problem. On the one hand, Indonesia did not participate in ratifying the 1951 International Convention and the 1967 Protocol, so Indonesia was not obliged to handle the presence of refugees. But on the other hand, since early 2020, Indonesia has been appointed as a member of the UN Human Rights Council so indirectly Indonesia must comply with all forms of international declarations on human rights. With this position, the Indonesian government must normatively pay attention to refugees in the form of access to social assistance and health facility services. Considering government limitations due to the COVID-19 outbreak, several solutions that can be taken include clarifying and strengthening the cooperation with UNHCR and IOM, expanding community-based protection cooperation, delegating part of the state's authority to local governments which deemed capable, and regulating the opening of limited work access for refugees.
Regulating Cyberspace in Vietnam: Entry, Struggle, and Gain
Authors: Nguyen Ha N.
Published: August 2022

This study explores the evolution of cyber regulation in Vietnam since its inception, that is from the events of January 1997, when cyberspace first arrived in Vietnam, to the momentous protests instigated by the Cybersecurity Draft Law in June 2018. A Vietnamese cyber regulatory regime is imagined as an analytically constructed regulatory space where different actors enter, struggle, and gain in their pursuit of regulatory interests. The study argues that cyberspace in contemporary Vietnam has aided non-state actors to participate in the law-making and regulatory processes by inducing state actors to respond with cyber laws, regulatory approaches, and measures. Moving beyond the dichotomy of cyberspace as an inevitable tool for liberation or oppression, Vietnamese cyberspace has been both an instrument for non-state actors to participate in lawmaking, and a regulatory measure for state actors to regain control. A sociological landscape in contemporary Vietnam is depicted through the evolution of a Vietnamese cyber regulatory regime, shaped by dynamic interactions between domestic actors. In sharp contrast to the previous image of an authoritarian Vietnam, cyberspace has aided contemporary Vietnam to metamorphose into a more pluralistic society where organically formed social actors co-regulate cyberspace.

Microglia as a Potential Target for Antidepressant: A Systematic Review on Preclinical studies
Authors: Wahyu Lisnasari Baiq Risky , Ardianto Chrismawan , Khotib Junaidi
Published: August 2022

Depression is a heterogeneous disorder with more than one possible etiologies. Currently, studies are mostly focused on neuronal dysfunction, while the involvement of other brain cells, such as microglia, has not been widely explored. This review aimed to systematically review the studies reporting the effect of microglia inhibitors on depressive-like behavior in rodent models, to obtained a better understanding of the effectiveness of the intervention against depression. The PubMed database was explored from January 2011 to April 2021 with related keywords for full-text publications reporting antidepressant effects of microglial inhibitor in rodents. We identified 713 research publications, of which only 25 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included for analysis. Administration of antidepressant drugs/compounds that inhibit microglia was reported to be beneficial because it improved depression-like symptoms by reducing outcomes based on immobility, anhedonia, and locomotor activity. Microglia inactivation has been reported to occur through inhibition of the HMGB1/TLR4/NF-B and NLRP3/NF-κB pathways, as well as improved communication of microglia neurons through increased interaction of CX3CL1 with CX3CR1. These data indicated that the use of an agent inhibiting microglia activity is promising as a strategy in overcoming depression in humans.

Now a day peoples are interested in the hair care preparation like shampoos and hair conditioners. Shampoos are the products which are used for the removal of the dirt and surface grease from the hair shaft and scalp. There are numbers of synthetic shampoos in the market as compared to the herbal or natural shampoo, but synthetic shampoo has some harmful effect on the hair or scalp like dryness of hair and keratin loss. Now a day peoples are more aware about the side-effects each and every ingredient used in the formulation of shampoo or any of the cosmetic preparation. Hence due to this reason there is increase in demand for the natural ingredient containing formulation. From the results and discussion we were concluded that the formulation was better in all aspects when compared to the synthetic shampoos. The marketed shampoos have excessive detergents which can strip the hairs off from the scalp. The prepared herbal shampoo was having better detergency and even it maintained the shiny and oily appearance. Therefore the formulated herbal shampoo passed the entire test and hence can be a better substitute to the shampoos available in market.
