Corn foot is nowadays a common skin problem among people who are subjected to pressure and constant friction from repetitive actions on their feet. It causes psycho-somatic stress on the affected individuals due to the changes in their walking style. On March 16, 2023, the client, a 46-year-old female, came to the Outpatient Department with complaints of thickened skin over the plantar aspect of the right foot, severe pain present while walking for 4 years, and another area of thickened skin appearing over the plantar aspect of the right big toe without pain for 1 year. Through clinical examination, the skin lesions were confirmed to be corn foot. After the diagnosis, the client was advised to do the surgical procedure, heated metal cauterisation (Uloga suttigai), as in Siddha. A heated metal robe was strongly held in one hand and applied over the periphery of the lesion site, then towards the center. Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f. pulp was placed over the burn site. Using the surgical instruments, the burned tissue was removed until the healthy tissue became visible. Finally, the ulcerated area was cleaned with padikaara neer (alum water). Dressing was done with matthan thylam. After a regular bandage of the wound for a week, the corn foot completely healed, along with all related symptoms. The recurrence did not happen in the course of a one-year follow-up. To summarize, the case report exhibited that the heated metal cauterisation used in the Siddha is very effective in the management of patients with corn foot, relieving their stress at an affordable cost.

Klassisia muotoja persoonallisin kääntein: Erik Tulindbergin jousikvartetot op. 1 ja op. 2
Authors: Jaakkola Inkeri 
Published: October 2024

This article concerns the String Quartets of Erik Tulindberg (1761–1814), who was the first known Finnish composer. Tulindberg was musically active primarily in the late 1770s and early 1780s, when he was studying at the Royal Academy of Turku (Kunglika Akademien i Åbo). He was respected as a skilful violinist and a chamber musician, playing in the Academy’s orchestra on ceremonial occasions and giving public concerts. Tulindberg’s compositional oeuvre comprises two Violin Concertos, six String Quartets and a few works for solo violin.
The corpus of Tulindberg’s String Quartets is approached from two perspectives, namely conventional strategies of the Classical style on one hand, and Tulindberg’s recurrent choices as attributes of his personal musical language on the other. Widely used analytical tools are applied in studying the corpus, and the Quartets are compared with certain works that originate in the same period and reside in Tulindberg’s archive. The theoretical framework includes writings that focus specifically on describing the compositional strategies used in Classical and Pre-Classical music, the authors including James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy, Graham Hunt, William Caplin, Poundie Burstein and Danuta Mirka, among others. The discussion covers 1) the overall structure, the key design and cadences in the opening movements, all of which are in sonata form; 2) the essential harmonic traits; and 3) surface characteristics and expressive means such as topics, melodic figuration and instrumental writing.
The analysis reveals that Tulindberg adopted the commonly used strategies and main expressive means of the Classical style. The attributes of his musical language include traits such as the constant use of extended modal mixture, enthusiasm for a varied rondo-form and frequent violoncello solos in the upper register. Although the String Quartets are conventional in structure, each one is individual in its construction. The stylistic correspondence between the works and those of composers such as Joseph Haydn, Luigi Boccherini and Ignace Pleyel, shows his thorough understanding of the music written by his contemporaries.

Abstract. GHOST (Globally Harmonised Observations in Space and Time) represents one of the biggest collections of harmonised measurements of atmospheric composition at the surface. In total, 7 275 148 646 measurements from 1970 to 2023, of 227 different components from 38 reporting networks, are compiled, parsed, and standardised. The components processed include gaseous species, total and speciated particulate matter, and aerosol optical properties. The main goal of GHOST is to provide a dataset that can serve as a basis for the reproducibility of model evaluation efforts across the community. Exhaustive efforts have been made towards standardising almost every facet of the information provided by major public reporting networks, which is saved in 21 data variables and 163 metadata variables. Extensive effort in particular is made towards the standardisation of measurement process information and station classifications. Extra complementary information is also associated with measurements, such as metadata from various popular gridded datasets (e.g. land use) and temporal classifications per measurement (e.g. day or night). A range of standardised network quality assurance flags is associated with each individual measurement. GHOST's own quality assurance is also performed and associated with measurements. Measurements pre-filtered by the default GHOST quality assurance are also provided. In this paper, we outline all steps undertaken to create the GHOST dataset and give insights and recommendations for data providers based on the experiences gleaned through our efforts. The GHOST dataset is made freely available via the following repository: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10637449 (Bowdalo, 2024a).

Abstract. This paper shows the first systematic dataset of flood episodes referring to the entire Pyrenees massif, named PIRAGUA_flood, which covers the period 1981–2015 (available at http://hdl.handle.net/10261/270351, last access: 21 July 2024). First, the structure of the database is detailed so that it can be reproduced anywhere else in the world, adapting to the specific nature of each situation. Subsequently, the paper addresses the spatial and temporal distribution of flood episodes and events (including trends) that affected the Pyrenees regions of Spain (Catalonia, Aragon, Navarre, the Basque Country), France (Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Occitanie) and Andorra, as well as the massif as a whole, for a given period of time. In the case of the Spanish regions, it was also possible to analyse the compensation payments by the Spanish Insurance Compensation Consortium and the number of deceased. The weather types associated with flood episodes were also classified based on sea level pressure and 500 hPa geopotential height from ERA5. The results show 181 flood events and 154 fatalities, some of which affected more than one region. In the Spanish part of the Pyrenees, between 1996 and 2015, there was a total compensation payout amounting to EUR 142.5 million (2015). The eastern part of the area records more flood events than the western one, with Catalonia being the community that registered the highest number of events, followed by Andorra and Occitanie. Associated weather types are dominated by the southern component flow over the Pyrenees region, with a talweg on the Iberian Peninsula and a depression in the vicinity, either in the Atlantic or in the Mediterranean. In terms of the entire massif, there is a slight positive trend of 0.84 events per decade, driven by the evolution of ordinary and extraordinary floods but not significant at 95 %. At a regional level, flood behaviour is more heterogeneous, although not significant for the most part. Nouvelle-Aquitaine is the only region that shows a positive and significant trend of 0.34 events per decade.
ECOMAN: an open-source package for geodynamic and seismological modelling of mechanical anisotropy

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Mechanical anisotropy related to rock fabrics is a proxy for constraining the Earth's deformation patterns. However, the forward and inverse modelling of mechanical anisotropy in 3D large-scale domains has been traditionally hampered by the intensive computational cost and the lack of a dedicated, open-source computational framework. Here we introduce ECOMAN (Exploring the COnsequences of Mechanical ANisotropy), a software package for modelling strain- and stress-induced rock fabrics and testing the effects of the resulting elastic and viscous anisotropy on seismic imaging and mantle convection patterns. Differently from existing analogous software, ECOMAN can model strain-induced fabrics across all mantle levels and is optimised to run efficiently on multiple CPUs. It also enables modelling of shape preferred orientation (SPO)-related structures that can be superimposed over lattice/crystallographic preferred orientation (LPO/CPO) fabrics, which allows the consideration of the mechanical effects of fluid-filled cracks, foliated and lineated grain-scale fabrics, and rock-scale layering. One of the most important innovations is the Platform for Seismic Imaging (PSI), a set of programs for performing forward and inverse seismic modelling in isotropic–anisotropic media using real or synthetic seismic datasets. The anisotropic inversion strategy is capable of recovering parameters describing a tilted transversely isotropic (TTI) medium, which is required to reconstruct 3D structures and mantle strain patterns and to validate geodynamic models.

This computational study aims to track the change of some seismic observations by (Mgx,Ca(1-x))O compounds, this was at the PREM model pressures representing of Earth’s material. Based on the link between seismology and metallurgy in addition the Hashin & Shtrikman relationships, with taking into the results of our previous study, especially magnesium and calcium oxides. We were able to study the change in the values of density, bulk and shear modulus, longitudinal, transversal and bulk sound waves velocity of these compounds, with the change of x from a percentage to a hundred thousand. We were able to identify the compounds that he evaluated for those parameters very close to that of the Earth’s material at the pressures of the PREM model, especially at the most important spacing between the Earth’s internal layers until to the limits of the Earth's outer core. But not a single compound has been found to match all values once, meaning that no compound can be found in Earth's deep layers.
