Spatiotemporal variability in the oxidative potential of ambient fine particulate matter in the Midwestern United States
Authors: Yu Haoran , Puthussery Joseph Varghese , Wang Yixiang , Verma Vishal 
Published: November 2021

Abstract. We assessed the oxidative potential (OP) of both water-soluble and
methanol-soluble fractions of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5)
in the Midwestern United States. A large set of PM2.5 samples (N=241) was collected from five sites set up in different environments, i.e.,
urban, rural, and roadside, in Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri during May 2018–May 2019. Five acellular OP endpoints, including the consumption rate of
ascorbic acid and glutathione in a surrogate lung fluid (SLF) (OPAA and
OPGSH, respectively), dithiothreitol (DTT) depletion rate (OPDTT),
and ⚫OH generation rate in SLF and DTT (OPOH−SLF and
OPOH−DTT, respectively), were measured for all PM2.5 samples.
PM2.5 mass concentrations in the Midwestern US as obtained from these
samples were spatially homogeneously distributed, while most OP endpoints
showed significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity. Seasonally, higher
activities occurred in summer for most OP endpoints for both water- and
methanol-soluble extracts. Spatially, the roadside site showed the highest
activities for most OP endpoints in the water-soluble extracts, while only
occasional peaks were observed at urban sites in the methanol-soluble OP.
Most OP endpoints showed similar spatiotemporal trends between mass- and
volume-normalized activities across different sites and seasons. Comparisons
between two solvents (i.e., water and methanol) showed that methanol-soluble
OP generally had higher activity levels than corresponding water-soluble OP.
Site-to-site comparisons of OP showed stronger correlations for
methanol-soluble OP compared to water-soluble OP, indicating a better
extraction of water-insoluble redox-active compounds from various emission
sources into methanol. We found a weak correlation and inconsistent slope
values between PM2.5 mass and most OP endpoints. Moreover, the
poor to moderate intercorrelations among different OP endpoints indicate
different mechanisms of OP represented by these endpoints and thus
demonstrate the rationale for analyzing multiple acellular endpoints for a
better and more comprehensive assessment of OP.
Characterization of soil moisture response patterns and hillslope hydrological processes through a self-organizing map
Authors: Lee Eunhyung , Kim Sanghyun 
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Hydrologic events can be characterized as particular combinations of
hydrological processes on a hillslope scale. To configure hydrological
mechanisms, we analyzed a dataset using an unsupervised machine learning
algorithm to cluster the hydrologic events based on the dissimilarity
distances between the weighting components of a self-organizing map (SOM).
The time series of soil moisture was measured at 30 points (at 10 locations
with three different depths) for 356 rainfall events on a steep, forested
hillslope between 2007 and 2016. The soil moisture features for hydrologic
events can be effectively represented by the antecedent soil moisture, soil
moisture difference index, and standard deviation of the peak-to-peak time
between rainfall and soil moisture response. Five clusters were delineated
for hydrologically meaningful event classifications in the SOM
representation. The two-dimensional spatial weighting patterns in the SOM
provided more insights into the relationships between rainfall
characteristics, antecedent wetness, and soil moisture response at different
locations and depths. The distinction of the classified events could be
explained by several rainfall features and antecedent soil moisture
conditions that resulted in different patterns attributable to combinations
of hillslope hydrological processes, vertical flow, and lateral flow along
either surface or subsurface boundaries for the upslope and downslope areas.
On the low western Pacific sea levels observed prior to strong East Pacific El Niños
Authors: Webb David J. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Research, based on both observations and ocean models, has indicated that strong East Pacific El Niños are preceded by the development of unusually low sea levels at the western end of the North Equatorial Trough early in the year. This results in an increase in the strength of the North Equatorial Counter Current which, aided by low sea levels due to the annual Rossby wave, then transports West Pacific Warm Pool water to the central and eastern Pacific. Here, an ocean model is used to investigate the factors affecting sea level prior to the 1982–1983 East Pacific El Niño. The results indicate that during this period the reduction in sea level was caused by Ekman pumping, due to the local winds, acting over a period of many months. The north–south distances involved mean that such upwelling can be connected to the westerly wind phase
of Madden–Julian Oscillations. Since the 1980s, the quality and quantity of global wind measurement has steadily improved. So, if the Ekman pumping hypothesis is correct, the better-quality wind data available prior to the 1997–1998 and 2015–2016 East Pacific El Niños should also show unusually large Ekman pumping in
the same region, over a similar long period. This is tested and found to be correct. However, a study of the integrated Ekman pumping for the period 1976 to 2015 indicates that in some years similar events did not develop despite a
comparable amount of pumping during the first part of the year. The results imply that significant Ekman pumping early in the year is a necessary
but not sufficient requirement for the development of a strong East Pacific El Niño.
Tasawuf Sebagai Alternatif Pendidikan Pesantren Anak
Authors: Janeko Janeko 
Published: November 2021

Pendidikan nasional di Era Reformasi ini diarahkan kepada pencapaian tujuan tertentu sebagaimana tersurat dalam UU Nomor 20 Tahun 2003 Tentang SISDIKNAS, bahwa â€œpendidikan nasional bertujuan mencerdaskan kehidupan bangsa dan mengembangkan manusia Indonesia seutuhnya. Pendidikan Islam sebagai sub-sistem dari sistem pendidikan nasional mencita-citakan terbentuknya muslim seutuhnya, yaâ€™ni seorang muslim Indonesia yang berkualitas dengan tetap menjaga budaya bangsa yang mulia. Dengan demikian pendidikan mengarah kepada pencapaian nilaiâ€“nilai yang luhur dan selaras bagi kehidupan muslim yang bercirikan Indonesia. Akan tetapi dalam perjalanannya, akhlak menjadi hanya sekedar adab atau tatakrama, kehilangan substansi filosofisnya; moralitas umat Islam Indonesia mengalami krisis akhlakul karimah, dan keshalihan ritual seringkali tidak berkorelasi positif dengan keshalihan sosial. Peran pesantren sangat dibutuhkan melalui pendidikan alterntif berupa Ilmu Tasawuf, karena ilmu tasawuf dapat meningkatkan akhlakul karimah, sebagaimana bukti bagaimana keberhasilan pesantren yang mendidik santrinya dengan mengintegrasikan ilmu tasawuf ke dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, sehinga akhlak santri benar-benar meningkat sebagai akhlakul karimah.
Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan fokus yakni Bagaimana Ilmu Tasawuf sebagai Alternatif Pendidikan Pesantren dalam Meningkatkan Akhlak Santri kepada Allah, Sesama, dan Lingkungan di Pondok Pesantren Miftahul Ulum Desa Glagahwero Kecamatan Kalisat Kabupaten Jember?
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif, dengan obyek penelitian adalah Pondok Pesantren Miftahul Ulum Desa Glagahwero Kecamatan Kalisat Kabupaten Jember. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah metode purposive sampling dengan teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi, interview, dan dukomentasi. Setelah data terkumpul maka data tersebut dianalisis dengan analisa data reflective thinking.
Berpijak pada kajian teroritis yang dilanjutkan dengan hasil paparan dan analisis data, maka diperoleh hasil penelitian bahwa, Ilmu tasawuf sebagai alternatif pendidikan pesantren dalam meningkatkan akhlak santri kepada Allah SWT, akhlak santri kepada sesama dan akhlak santri kepada lingkungan hidup, merupakan bentuk pendidikan yang kompleks melebihi pendidikan non-pesantren dengan ilmu tasawuf sebagai pendidikan alternatifnya. Dalam hal ini, ilmu tasawuf diajarkan melalui pengajian kitab-kitab kuning, melalui praktek akhlakul karimah, dan melalui amalan-amalan berupa tarikat/wiridan yang dibiasakan setiap waktu. Hasilnya, ilmu tasawuf sebagai pendidikan alternatif pesantren yang diajarkan di Pondok Pesantren Miftahul Ulum Glagahwero Kecamatan Kalisat Kabupaten Jember telah mengantarkan santri berakhlakul karimah lebih meningkat dari pada sebelum menerapkan ilmu tasawuf sebagai pendidikan alternatif pesantren.

Silicon, Potassium and Nitrogen Accumulation and Biomass in Corn under Hydroponic Conditions
Authors: Castellanos González Leónides , de Mello Prado Renato , Naudi Silva Campos Cid 
Published: November 2021

The aim of the research was to evaluate the effect of the interaction of silicon, potassium, and nitrogen on the foliar area, the accumulation of these elements in the aerial part and the dry biomass in corn plants. The research was developed under hydroponic conditions in Jaboticabal Sao Pablo, Brasil using the 30A77HX hybrid. Two silicon concentrations were evaluated (0 and 2 mmol L−1); two concentrations of potassium (1 and 12 mmol L−1) and four nitrogen concentrations: (1, 10, 15, and 20 mmol L−1). A completely randomized design was used, with factorial arrangement 2 × 2 × 4 and three replications. The foliar area, the dry biomass and, nitrogen, potassium, and silicon content were determined. The application of silicon at a high concentration of K causes an increase in the accumulation of K, which is reflected in an increment of the total dry biomass in the plants of corn, while excess and a deficit of N diminish the accumulation of Si in the aerial part of the plant, which is more evident at a low concentration of K in the nutritious solution, affecting the accumulation of the total dry biomass.

Published: November 2021

A new dipluran species, Plusiocampa (Plusiocampa) imereti Sendra & Barjadze sp. nov., from the deep zone in three caves in the Imereti region, Georgia, is described. This new troglobitic Plusiocampa is an addition to four others known Diplura from around the Black Sea region, two Dydimocampa and two Plusiocampa s. str. The present study also provides the first CO1 sequences for the Plusiocampinae taxa and the first molecular data for cave-dwelling Plusiocampa species. Although bootstrap values were low, the maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree grouped Plusiocampa (P.) imereti Sendra & Barjadze sp. nov. with two Plusiocampa s. str. species from Eastern Europe. Morphologically, P. (P.) imereti Sendra & Barjadze sp. nov. is closely related to two cave-dwelling species: Plusiocampa (Plusiocampa) glabra Condé, 1984 and Plusiocampa (P.) chiosensis Sendra & Gasparo, 2020. The new species can be distinguished by the presence of lateral anterior macrosetae on metanotum, more uneven claws, and the presence of 2+2 lateral anterior macrosetae on middle urotergites. The five species currently known for the Black Sea region inhabit caves located at low altitude but with no influence from former glacial or permafrost processes.

Context.—
Multifocal prostate cancer at radical prostatectomy (RP) may be graded with assessment of each individual tumor nodule (TN) or global grading of all TNs in aggregate.

Objective.—
To assess case-level grade variability between these 2 grading approaches.

Design.—
We reviewed 776 RPs with multifocal prostate cancer with 2 or more separate TNs of different Grade Groups (GGs). Two separate grades were assigned to each RP: one based on the TN with the highest grade and a global grade based on the Gleason pattern volumes for all TNs. We then compared the results of these 2 methods.

Results.—
The case-level grade changed by 1 or more GGs between the 2 grading methods in 35% (132 of 374) of GG3 through GG5 cases. Twelve percent (37 of 309) of GG2 cases with Gleason pattern 4 of more than 5% based on individual TN grading decreased their Gleason pattern 4 to less than 5% based on the global approach. Minor tertiary pattern 5 (Gleason pattern 5 &lt;5%) was observed in 6.8% (11 of 161) of GG4 (Gleason score 3 + 5 = 8 and 5 + 3 = 8) and GG5 cases with global grading. The risk of grade discrepancy between the 2 methods was associated with the highest-grade TN volume (inverse relationship), patient age, and number of TNs (P &lt; .001, P = .003, and P &lt; .001, respectively).

Conclusions.—
The global grading approach resulted in a lower grade in 35% of GG3 through GG5 cases compared with grading based on the highest-grade TN. Two significant risk factors for this discrepancy with a global grading approach occur when the highest-grade TN has a relatively small tumor volume and with a higher number of TNs per RP. The observed grade variability between the 2 grading schemes most likely limits the interchangeability of post-RP multi-institutional databases if those institutions use different grading approaches.

Métodos: estudo quantitativo onde foram avaliados idosos, residentes em ILP’s com residentes na comunidade, entre setembro a outubro de 2019. A escala de Katz foi utilizada para a avaliação da capacidade funcional. Considerou-se idosos com multimorbidade os que apresentaram duas ou mais condições crônicas e com polifarmácia os que utilizam cinco ou mais medicamentos dia. Resultados: participaram do estudo 153 idosos, 33 residentes em ILP’s e 120 na comunidade com idade entre 60 a 93 (±8,67) anos. O sexo feminino foi 67,7% para os da comunidade e 54,6% para os das ILP’s. O estado civil solteiro foi 2,5% para os idosos da comunidade e 42,4% para os das ILP’s (p0,00). A independência para a realização das atividades básicas de vida diárias é de 90,8% nos idosos da comunidade e 12,1% nos das ILP’s (p0,00). A multimorbidade está presente em 51,7% dos idosos da comunidade e 42,4% dos idosos das ILP’s (p=0,22). A polifarmácia é de 75,8% para os idosos das ILP’s e 46,7% nos idosos da comunidade (p=0,02). Conclusão: os idosos residentes nas ILP’s são na sua maioria solteiros, dependentes para as atividades de vida diária e com polifarmácia. A multimorbidade e o sexo, para os idosos desse estudo, não interfere nas condições de ser ou não residente em ILP’s.
