Abstract. Science communication is an important part of research, including in the geosciences, as it can (1) benefit both society and science and (2) make science more publicly accountable. However, much of this work takes place in “shadowlands” that are neither fully seen nor understood. These shadowlands are spaces, aspects, and practices of science communication that are not clearly defined and may be harmful with respect to the science being communicated or for the science communicators themselves. With the increasing expectation in academia that researchers should participate in science communication, there is a need to address some of the major issues that lurk in these shadowlands. Here, the editorial team of Geoscience Communication seeks to shine a light on the shadowlands of geoscience communication by geoscientists in academia and suggest some solutions and examples of effective practice. The issues broadly fall under three categories: (1) harmful or unclear objectives, (2) poor quality and lack of rigor, and (3) exploitation of science communicators working within academia. Ameliorating these problems will require the following action: (1) clarifying objectives and audiences, (2) adequately training science communicators, and (3) giving science communication equivalent recognition to other professional activities. In this editorial, our aim is to cultivate a more transparent and responsible landscape for geoscience communication – a transformation that will ultimately benefit the progress of science; the welfare of scientists; and, more broadly, society at large.

Abstract. Exceptional rainfall hit western central Africa in October 2019. To understand its underlying mechanisms, we examined the regional moisture and moist static energy (MSE) budgets, intending to highlight the importance of the dynamic and thermodynamic effects associated with this historic event. Analysis of the moisture budget reveals that the precipitation anomalies in October were mainly controlled by dynamic effects. Horizontal moisture advection induced by horizontal wind anomalies controls extreme precipitation north of western central Africa, while vertical moisture advection induced by vertical velocity anomalies controls extreme precipitation south of western central Africa. Changes in the thermodynamic effect, although not the key factor responsible for the events of October 2019, contribute up to 35 % of the total effect on the northern part and 15 % on the southern part of the domain. The residual term on the northern part is important and provides a caveat when estimating dynamic and thermodynamic processes. Diagnosis of the MSE balance averaged over the northern part of western central Africa shows that the anomalous vertical motion is dominated by the dynamic effect, i.e., the wet enthalpy advection induced by the horizontal wind anomalies. This is confirmed by the high spatial correlation (r=0.6) between the two terms compared to the other terms, whereas to the west of the Congo Basin, the increase in the net energy balance dominated the changes in vertical motion (r=0.51). The horizontal advection of the MSE induced by the anomalies of the wet enthalpy and the vertical advection of the MSE induced by the anomalies of the MSE seem less important (r=0.29 and −0.19 to the north and −0.17 and 0.03 to the south). The strong anomalies in the MSE balance in the north are linked to its meridional component, in particular the meridional wind anomalies in the dynamic effect and the meridional anomalies in latent heat in the thermodynamic effect. Our results suggest that dynamic and thermodynamic effects should be jointly considered for adequately anticipating this kind of extreme event. Understanding the associated mechanisms could help us improve our forecasts and projections and increase the region's population resilience to these extreme weather events.

Published: November 2024

Sexual quality of life is greatly influenced by sexual function, yet thorough measures remain limited and vary across regions. In Indonesia, diverse cultural and religious contexts notably shape sexual quality of life. Thus, it is important to have a tool that considers both internal and external aspects. The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable scale that specifically measures Indonesian sexual quality of life for women (ISQOL-W), considering cultural and social factors. A total of 228 participants were recruited from April 30, 2023, to September 30, 2023. The ISQOL-W was developed through two phases: item generation and psychometric evaluation. In the first phase, 68 items were drafted based on definitions and dimensions of sexual quality of life. In the second phase, exploratory factor analysis resulted in 34 items with a loading factor greater than 0.4 (ranging from 0.41 to 0.84) which were categorized into four domains/factors: sexual-related emotion, sexual fantasy, sexual arousal, and sexual relationship. The Cronbach’s α coefficient for the overall questionnaire was 0.915, with subscale reliability ranging from 0.826 to 0.903. Further analysis revealed significant differences in ISQOL-W scores across relationship status, educational level, history of last sexual activity, and type of sexual activity. In conclusion, the ISQOL-W demonstrated robust psychometric properties, supporting its use in future studies. This study represents the first effort to develop and validate a sexual quality of life scale specifically for Indonesian women.

Published: November 2024

The case is highlighting the journey of Mr Rajiv Khera from a seasoned corporate professional to be an Entrepreneur in Gurgaon Region. Rajeev started Chakki Peesing, an urban floor and spices mill in 2020 during the covid 19 Lockdown. Within 6 months of operations, Chakki Peesing has served over 8000 orders with 2000 unique customers, which according to Rajeev is a significant achievement as he is close to his business projections. Rajeev firmly believed that his business model would work in the B2C segment only as the B2B market is very much price sensitive. However, he was open to the idea of getting into strategic collaborations with gymnasiums and health clubs to promote and sell products. One of the competitive advantages of Chakki Peesing was the access to good quality wheat from Madhya Pradesh along with Rajeev’s on experience in sales and distribution. The initial success of Chakki Peesing can also be attributed to the strong network, which Rajeev and his family had with the upper middle class society of Gurgaon, and to the increased awareness among people for having a healthy lifestyle. The case talks about the business development strategy adopted by Rajeev and his son Dhruv who is also the co-founder of the company and proposed various alternative solutions for future course of action pertaining to business expansion.

The article situates this book in the historiography of the Persianate as a conceptual category and an object of critique, with particular attention to its extension into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to the politics of Persianate modernity as a category for post-Cold War scholarship in the West and beyond.
Reframing Authorship in Abiayala: Marisol Ceh Moo’s Novelistic Production and Authorial Construction
Authors: Diaz-Zanelli Jose Carlos 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
This article considers the novelistic production of Yucatec Maya writer Marisol Ceh Moo and her process of authorial construction as a decolonizing Indigenous cultural intervention. By analyzing the content and impact of her novel X-Teya, u puksi’ik’al ko’olel/Teya, un corazón de mujer (Teya, a Woman’s Heart, 2009), this article elucidates how the adoption of a modern literary genre such as the novel and Indigenous authorial formation create a specific locus of enunciation that aligns with the resistance to cultural coloniality embedded in the heterogeneous Abiayala movement. Moreover, this research reveals the need to rethink the analytical categories that are part of the author theory when it comes to the study of contemporary Indigenous literatures in Latin America.
Use of pneumatic waste in thermal insulation systems in arid áreas

Published: November 2024

Recent decades have seen a major global concern to protect the environment from non-biodegradable waste as little as possible. On the other hand, the problem of energy saving has emerged. Builders in arid areas and particularly in the Algerian Sahara are always faced with a very difficult choice: “build with traditional and local materials promoting a certain thermal comfort or build with modern materials offering more convenience, aesthetics and space but with less or no thermal comfort and very high consumption of air conditioning energy. The appearance of new materials and the innovation of waste in construction have not only improved the mechanical properties of materials but also energy saving through insulation, waterproofing and even the appearance of the construction. In the present work, an investigation was undertaken in order to respond to the problem of thermal comfort of construction while getting rid of tires which, through their long life, occupy large environmental spaces and through their incineration contribute to environmental pollution. Numerous tests have been carried out on reduced or real models representing either the floors or the partition walls which represent the two elements which are the main players in the heat transfer of the building. In comparison with the usual materials used in thermal insulation, the innovation of pneumatic waste has shown technical performances and thermal insulation properties superior to those existing on the market, which has the effect of increasing the energy efficiency of the buildings thus generating great economic interest. It is necessary to point out that only the plastic part of the tires was used while the metal part constituting the structural hoops of the tires has a wide use as a reinforcement system.

O câncer de mama é o câncer de maior prevalência entre mulheres no mundo, incluindo o Brasil. Nas últimas estatísticas mundiais, de 2020, foram estimados 2,3 milhões de casos novos de câncer e 685 mil óbitos pela doença até 2025. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os fatores associados à sobrevida em cinco anos de pacientes com câncer de mama que realizaram tratamento em um Hospital Terciário no interior do Rio Grande do Sul, por meio de uma coorte histórica. Foram incluídas pacientes com período de 5 anos pós-diagnóstico completados até 31/12/2019. Foram analisados 827 prontuários dos anos de 2010 a 2014. O desfecho investigado foi o óbito em decorrência do câncer de mama. No modelo multivariável, os fatores associados à maior sobrevida foram estadiamento em estágios I e II e não ser Triplo negativo. A sobrevida em cinco anos foi de 82%. Ao final do estudo, 626 (75,7%) pacientes estavam vivas, 201 (24,3%) morreram, sendo que 184 (22,2%) a causa da morte foi câncer de mama e 17 (2%) por outras causas. Através destes fatores, fica evidente a relevância da detecção precoce, início do tratamento e seguimento completo do mesmo para melhor prognóstico e sobrevida.

Authors: Shan Xuemin , DAPAT DR. RIZAL O. 
Published: November 2024

This research investigates the correlation between teachers' emotional intelligence and classroom dynamics, as well as the level of involvement shown by students in a university environment through a descriptive correlational methodology. Using Daniel Goleman's framework, the assessment focused on many aspects of emotional intelligence, including self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. The study also assessed the dynamics inside the classroom, including how it was managed, the instructional tactics used, the overall atmosphere, the level of differentiation, and the effectiveness of communication. Additionally, it examined the level of student involvement, including the meaningfulness of activities, the students' sense of competence, the support for their autonomy, the extent of collaborative learning, and their orientation towards mastery. Validated self-designed questionnaires were used to gather data from 30 instructors and 900 students. The findings reveal that instructors assessed their emotional intelligence as moderate, with empathy being the greatest and social skills being the lowest. Students evaluated classroom dynamics as somewhat successful in managing, creating an atmosphere, adapting to individual needs, and effectively using teaching methods and communicating. The engagement levels were moderate for meaningful activities and mastery orientation but low for competence, autonomy support, and collaborative learning. Correlation analysis indicated that there were no significant connections between teachers' overall emotional intelligence and students' assessments of classroom dynamics or participation. This implies that emotional intelligence does not directly impact these elements.
A força normativa da constituição segundo Ferdinand Lassalle e Konrad Hesse

Published: November 2024

Quem constitui o pilar de todo o ordenamento jurídico de uma nação, sendo assim, sua aplicação e eficácia que constituem em fator determinante na ordem e pleno funcionamento de um Estado, é a sua constituição. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o de analisar as semelhanças e diferenças nas abordagens sobre a essência da constituição segundo o pensamento de Lassalle e Hesse. Questiona-se: os pensamentos de um autor anulam o de outro? Possuem um prisma antagônico de interpretar a Constituição? O método utilizado foi o indutivo que nos permite analisar as ideias particulares de cada autor para só então chegarmos a uma visão geral de suas obras A metodologia empregada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica, que consiste na revisão da literatura relacionada à temática abordada. Para tanto, foram utilizados livros, periódicos, artigos, sites da Internet entre outras fontes. Ao final da pesquisa inferiu-se que os pensamentos destes dois grandes juristas não são antagônicas e sim possuem diferentes visões que por sua vez se complementam .Enquanto Lassalle afirma que uma Constituição escrita é boa e duradoura quando corresponde à Constituição Real e tem suas raízes nos fatores do poder que regem o país, pois caso contrário,seria apenas uma folha de papel. Konrad Hesse visa demonstrar que, os fatores políticos e sociais não devem ser ignorados pois possuem força e relvãncia, mas que mesmo diante disso a Constituição possui sua própria força, não ficando à mercê dos acontecimentos políticos e sociais.
Financial behavior between male and female: a systematic literature review
Authors: Damong Glorina , Candido Perez  
Published: November 2024

Finance is an essential aspect of existence. Handling it is reflected in one’s financial behavior. Poor financial decisions have consequences, therefore it's critical for people of both genders, men and women, to be financially informed in making financial decisions. A synthesis of the differences in financial behavior between men and women is the aim of this systematic literature review. Twenty-seven papers (27) published papers between 2014 and 2024 were extracted from the database using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review (PRISMA) framework. The findings showed that, in comparison to women, men are more financially knowledgeable; they have a greater risk appetite than women, which allows then to take advantage of financial products and services. Contrarily, females with their risk aversion attitude, leaves them financially susceptible because it prevents them from taking advantage of financial products and services like optimizing the potential for money growth. In terms of spending, women are more conservative, and are price sensitive than men. The findings also indicates that women are more vulnerable to financial misconduct; yet, financial literacy will mitigate this risk. Therefore, programs for gender-sensitive financial education should be taken into consideration to close the gap in financial literacy and give women more power in making financial decisions. With this, it would promote financial inclusion and aid in the realization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 5 and 10 or Gender Equality and Reduce inequalities respectively. Future studies may focus on how financial technology affects gendered financial behavior to promote more equal economic outcomes.
An EOQ Model for Delayed Deteriorating Items: Analysis of Three-Stage Consumption, Dual Storage Facilities, and Variable Partial Backlogging Rates
Authors: Mani Asma'u Abdullahi , Bature Babangida , Malumfashi Mustapha Lawal 
Published: November 2024

Study’s Excerpt

An Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model that accounts for items with delayed deterioration by integrating three distinct stages of consumption rates, dual storage facilities, and partially backlogged shortages was proposed.
The model can minimize overall variable costs and establish the conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the optimal solution by optimizing cycle length, order quantity, and depletion timing.
The model could help in inventory management of perishable goods, particularly in scenarios involving multiple storage options and consumption phases.

Full Abstract
This paper presents an Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model for items with delayed deterioration, incorporating three distinct stages of consumption rates, dual storage facilities, and shortages. The model assumes that the average consumption rates before and after the onset of deterioration, as well as during shortages, are constant but differ from one another. The shortages are partially backlogged and vary according to the waiting time until the next replenishment. The model aims to minimize the overall variable cost per unit of time by optimizing the cycle length, order quantity, and the timing at which the inventory in the owned warehouse is depleted. The paper establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure the existence and uniqueness of the optimal solution. A sensitivity analysis is conducted, and the findings are used to derive managerial insights.

Published: November 2024

Study’s Excerpt/Novelty

This study employs the Box-Jenkins ARIMA model to forecast crude oil prices in Nigeria from 2013 to 2022, identifying the ARIMA (1, 1, 1) model as the most suitable based on AIC, BIC, and HQIC criteria.
The findings emphasize the model’s adequacy for short-term price forecasting but highlight its limitations, particularly its sensitivity to non-stationary data.
The study recommends incorporating macroeconomic variables or hybrid models for more accurate long-term predictions, while urging Nigerian oil sector stakeholders to explore alternatives like Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to mitigate revenue losses from declining crude oil sales.

Full Abstract
This study utilizes Box-Jenkins ARIMA modeling to forecast crude oil prices in Nigeria from 2013 to 2022. The data, sourced from the CBN statistical bulletin, revealed non-stationarity, corrected by first differencing. The ARIMA (1, 1, 1) model was identified as the most suitable based on AIC, BIC, and HQIC criteria, providing significant information on short-term price forecasting and model adequacy. The study concludes that while ARIMA models are effective for short-term forecasting, their limitations, such as sensitivity to non-stationary data, suggest that future research should incorporate macroeconomic variables or hybrid models for improved accuracy. It was recommended that stakeholders in the Nigerian oil sector should explore other avenues in the sector, such as Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG), in order to absorb the decrease in revenue as a result of the decline in revenue from crude oil prices and sales.
