Disagreement, Skepticism, and Begging the Question
Authors: Matheson Jonathan 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In this paper, I examine Thomas Kelly’s account of the epistemic significance of bias presented in Bias: A Philosophical Study. Kelly draws a parallel between the skeptical threat from bias and the skeptical threat from disagreement, and crafts a response to these skeptical threats. According to Kelly, someone who is not biased can rely on that fact to conclude that their disagreeing interlocutor is biased. Kelly motivates this response by drawing several parallels to recent lessons in epistemology: that some question-begging reasoning is permissible, and that there are important asymmetries between epistemological good cases and bad cases. I argue that there are several reasons to resist Kelly’s response. In brief, there are problems with each of the motivations Kelly gives for his picture. Each parallel faces significant obstacles. In addition, his response also fails to take the new evil demon intuition seriously.
Images of Cruelty, Schooling and Refuge Possibilities
Authors: Langer Eduardo 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This article describes the relationships between cruelty, schooling and the possibilities that the school offers as a refuge in the face of the inexorable circumstances that seal the fates of a large part of the population living in conditions marked by intensifying inequalities. The work is based on a multiple design which included an audiovisual production workshop in 2022 and 2023 involving students and teachers from a high school in the Buenos Aires metropolitan region and the university. Through the biographical-narrative method, students have carried out in-depth interviews, collaborative work and activities shared in the same school with one of the teachers for over three years. Research results express how, as perceived by high school students and teachers, the school serves as a space that saves others and themselves, a place of support, as well as transmission and education, even amidst instances of cruelty in their daily experiences.

The Second Life of Tourism – About the Meaning of Pol. Koronaturystyka and Bul. Kовидтуризъм in the Light of Survey Data
The article attempts to formulate a cognitive definition of the meaning of the concept of the Polish compositum koronaturystyka and the Bulgarian word ковидтуризъм. The research results are based on survey data collected from 50 Polish and 50 Bulgarian students in accordance with the main methodological assumptions of the Lublin cognitive ethnolinguistics school. The basic stabilizing features of the koronaturystyka/ковидтуризъм concept are the same for both languages. Polish and Bulgarian respondents attribute the physical feature of temporality to koronaturystyka/ковидтуризъм, defining it as tourist activity taking place during a pandemic. The conservatism and risk traits are also dominant in the picture of koronaturystyka/ковидтуризъм in both languages: tourism that takes pandemic restrictions into account vs. tourism despite these restrictions. The extent to which the concept is stereotyped is very high for both languages: 67.3% in Polish; 57.69% in Bulgarian.

Drugie życie turystyki – o znaczeniu pol. koronaturystyki i bułg. ковидтуризъм w świetle danych eksperymentalnych
W artykule podjęto próbę sformułowania kognitywnej definicji znaczeniowej konceptu, do którego dają dostęp polskie compositum koronaturystyka oraz bułgarski wyraz ковидтуризъм. Wyniki badań opierają się na danych eksperymentalnych. Eksperyment został przeprowadzony zgodnie z głównymi założeniami metodologicznymi lubelskiej etnolingwistyki kognitywnej na 50 studentach polskich i 50 studentach bułgarskich. Podstawowe cechy stabilizujące konceptu koronaturystyka/ковидтуризъм są takie same dla obu języków. Zarówno polscy, jak i bułgarscy respondenci przypisują koronaturystyce fizykalną cechę temporalności, definiując ją jako aktywność lub działalność turystyczną mającą miejsce w trakcie trwania pandemii. W obrazie koronaturystyki w obu językach dominują także cecha zachowawczości i cecha ryzyka – uprawianie turystyki z uwzględnieniem pandemicznych obostrzeń vs. uprawianie turystyki mimo istniejących restrykcji. Wskaźnik stereotypizacji konceptu jest bardzo wysoki dla obu języków – 67,3% dla języka polskiego; 57,69% dla języka bułgarskiego.

Synthetic and Analytical Means of Expressing Aktionsart in the Ukrainian and Serbian Languages
The paper analyzes the aktionsart verb classes and aktionsart constructions as means of expressing aktionsart in the Ukrainian and Serbian languages. We single out four complexes of aktionsart meanings: phasal, determinative, plural, and gradual. For each of them, we determine the type and composition of the means of expression with the aim of observing the mutual relationship between these means and the similarities and differences in their functioning in the analyzed languages. Based on the analysis, we conclude that analytical means, although not central, are relatively represented in both languages, especially in the sphere of qualitative aktionsart, and that, although there are appropriate word-formation models in both languages, the Serbian language favors analytical, and the Ukrainian synthetic meansof expressing aktionsart.

Syntetyczne i analityczne środki wyrażania akcjonalności w języku ukraińskim i serbskim
W artykule przeanalizowano aktionsarten czasowników oraz konstrukcji jako sposoby wyrażania akcjonalności w językach ukraińskim i serbskim. Wyróżniamy cztery klasy znaczeń akcjonalnych – fazowość, determinatywność, mnogość i stopniowość – i dla każdego z nich ustalamy typ i skład środków wyrażania w celu zdefiniowania wzajemnych relacji między tymi środkami, jak też podobieństwa i różnice w ich funkcjonowaniu w analizowanych językach. Na podstawie przeprowadzonej analizy dochodzimy do wniosku, że środki analityczne, choć nie centralne, są stosunkowo często reprezentowane w obu językach, zwłaszcza w sferze jakościowej aktionsart, i że choć w obu językach istnieją odpowiednie modele słowotwórcze, to język serbski jest bardziej skłonny do analitycznych, a ukraiński do syntetycznych środków wyrażania aktionsarten.

Polish Translations of “The Life of Adam and Eve” as a Research Problem: An Analysis of Translation Strategies
This paper presents the results of translatological research into Teresa Dąbek-Wirgowa and Agata Kawecka’s translations of the Old Church Slavonic apocrypha “The Life of Adam and Eve” into modern Polish. The two texts were examined independently of each other, since they do not form a translation series. The translations were compared with the Bulgarian and Old Church Slavonic sources, which made it possible to follow closely how the translators applied the fundamental techniques of translation. Using selected examples, the article discusses the types of translation transformations used, and characterises the dominant elements presented in the translations. Some errors are also pointed out, especially those that change the meaning of the translated text. The final part of the paper contains general conclusions about the translators’ work and indicates possible directions of future research, including further research into anthologies of ancient literature as translations and into the skills exhibited by translators of such literature.

Przekłady Słowa o Adamie i Ewie na język polski jako problem badawczy. Analiza strategii tłumaczenia
Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań translatologicznych nad przekładami staro-cerkiewno-słowiańskiego apokryfu Słowo o Adamie i Ewie na współczesny język polski, których autorkami są Teresa Dąbek-Wirgowa i Agata Kawecka. Oba teksty zostały zbadane niezależnie od siebie, ponieważ nie tworzą serii przekładowej. Przekłady zestawiono ze źródłami (bułgarskim oraz staro-cerkiewno-słowiańskim), co umożliwiło dokładne prześledzenie sposobu pracy tłumaczek z podstawami tłumaczenia. W artykule na wybranych przykładach zostały omówione typy transformacji przekładowych wykorzystane przez tłumaczki, a ponadto przedstawiono charakterystykę dominant obecnych w przekładach. Wskazano także nieliczne błędy, w tym przede wszystkim te, które zmieniają sens tłumaczonego tekstu. W podsumowaniu przedstawiono ogólne wnioski dotyczące pracy tłumaczek oraz perspektywy badawcze obejmujące dalsze badania nad antologiami literatury dawnej jako przekładami oraz nad warsztatem tłumaczy tej literatury.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
In this study, we developed an emulator of the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model by employing a one-dimensional (1D) convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm to predict hourly surface nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations over the most densely populated urban regions in Texas. The inputs for the emulator were the same as those for the CMAQ model, which includes emission, meteorological, and land-use/land-cover data. We trained the model over June, July, and August (JJA) of 2011 and 2014 and then tested it on JJA of 2017, achieving an index of agreement (IOA) of 0.95 and a correlation of 0.90. We also employed temporal threefold cross validation to evaluate the model’s performance, ensuring the robustness and generalizability of the results. To gain deeper insights and understand the factors influencing the model’s surface NO2 predictions, we conducted a Shapley additive explanations analysis. The results revealed solar radiation reaching the surface, planetary boundary layer height, and NOx (NO + NO2) emissions are key variables driving the model’s predictions. These findings highlight the emulator’s ability to capture the individual impact of each variable on the model’s NO2 predictions. Furthermore, our emulator outperformed the CMAQ model in terms of computational efficiency, being more than 900 times as fast in predicting NO2 concentrations, enabling the rapid assessment of various pollution management scenarios. This work offers a valuable resource for air pollution mitigation efforts, not just in Texas, but with appropriate regional data training, its utility could be extended to other regions and pollutants as well.

Significance Statement
This work develops an emulator of the Community Multiscale Air Quality model, using a one-dimensional convolutional neural network to predict hourly surface NO2 concentrations across densely populated regions in Texas. Our emulator is capable of providing rapid and highly accurate NO2 estimates, enabling it to model diverse scenarios and facilitating informed decision-making to improve public health outcomes. Notably, this model outperforms traditional methods in computational efficiency, making it a robust, time-efficient tool for air pollution mitigation efforts. The findings suggest that key variables like solar radiation, planetary boundary layer height, and NOx (NO + NO2) emissions significantly influence the model’s NO2 predictions. By adding appropriate training data, this work can be extended to other regions and other pollutants such as O3, PM2.5, and PM10, offering a powerful tool for pollution mitigation and public health improvement efforts worldwide.

Abstract
The Polar Prediction Project (PPP), one of the flagship programs of the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) World Weather Research Programme (WWRP), has come to an end after a decade of intensive and coordinated international observing, modeling, verification, user engagement, and education activities. While PPP facilitated many advancements in modeling and forecasting, critical investment is now required to turn prediction science into salient environmental services for the polar regions. In this commentary, the members of the Societal and Economic Research and Applications task team of PPP, a group of social scientists and service delivery specialists, identify a number of insights and lessons that are critical for the implementation of the follow-up program Polar Coupled Analysis and Prediction for Services (PCAPS). We argue that in order to raise the societal value of polar environmental services, we need to better understand the diversity of highly specific user contexts; to tailor the actionability of weather, water, ice, and climate (WWIC) service development in the polar regions through inclusive transdisciplinary approaches to coproduction; to assess the societal impact of improved environmental services in the polar regions; and to invest and provide dedicated funding for involving the social sciences in research and tailoring processes across all the polar regions.
Local and Object-Based Perspectives on Atmospheric Rivers Making Landfall on the Western North American Coastline

Published: February 2024

Abstract
We apply the Ralph et al. scaling method to a reanalysis dataset to examine the climatology and variability of landfalling atmospheric rivers (ARs) along the western North American coastline during 1980–2019. The local perspective ranks AR intensity on a scale from 1 (weak) to 5 (strong) at each grid point along the coastline. The object-based perspective analyzes the characteristics of spatially independent and temporally coherent AR objects making landfall. The local perspective shows that the annual AR frequency of weak and strong ARs along the coast is highest in Oregon and Washington and lowest in Southern California. Strong ARs occur less frequently than weak ARs and have a more pronounced seasonal cycle. If those ARs with integrated water vapor transport (IVT) weaker than 250 kg m−1 s−1 are included, there is an enhanced seasonal cycle of AR frequency in Southern California and a seasonal cycle of AR intensity but not AR frequency in Alaska. The object-based analysis additionally indicates that strong ARs at lower latitudes are associated with stronger wind than weak ARs but similar moisture, whereas strong ARs at higher latitudes are associated with greater moisture than weak ARs but similar wind. For strong ARs, IVT at the core is largest for ARs in Oregon and Washington and smaller poleward and equatorward. Both IVT in the AR core and cumulative IVT along the coastline usually decrease after the first day of landfall for weak ARs but increase from the first to second day for strong ARs.

Abstract
This study describes a novel combination of methods to remove spurious spectral peaks, or “spurs,” from Doppler spectra produced by a vertically pointing, S-band radar. The University of Massachusetts S-band frequency-modulated, continuous-wave radar (UMass FMCW) was deployed to monitor the growth of the CBL over northern Alabama during the VORTEX–Southeast field campaign in 2016. The Doppler spectra contained spurs caused by high-voltage switching power supplies in the traveling wave tube amplifier. In the original data-processing scheme for this radar, a median filtering method was used to eliminate most of the spurs, but the largest ones persisted, which significantly degraded the quality of derived radar moments (e.g., reflectivity, Doppler velocity, and spectrum width) and hindered further analysis of these data (e.g., hydrometeor classification and boundary layer height tracking). Our technique for removing the spurs consists of three steps: (i) a Laplacian filter identifies and masks peaks in the spectra that are characteristic of the spurs in shape and amplitude, (ii) an in-painting method then fills in the masked area based on surrounding data, and (iii) the moments data (e.g., reflectivity, Doppler velocity, and spectrum width) are then recomputed using a coherent power technique. This combination of techniques was more effective than the median filter at removing the largest spurs from the Doppler spectra and preserved more of the underlying Doppler spectral structure of the scatterers. Performance of both the median-filter and the in-painting methods is assessed through statistical analysis of the spectral power differences. Downstream products, such as boundary layer height detection, are more easily derived from the recomputed moments.

Significance Statement
This manuscript describes a novel combination of image and signal processing techniques used to recover meteorological observations from corrupted Doppler radar spectra. This successful recovery of meteorologically significant information illustrates the importance of retaining Doppler spectra when practical. In seeking solutions to data quality issues, the atmospheric science community should remain cognizant of promising techniques offered by other disciplines. We present this data rescue study as an example to the meteorological community.

Objectives: Chronic rhinosinusitis and related rhinologic disorders are common in routine otolaryngologic practice. Common presenting symptoms include nasal obstruction, facial pain, facial pressure, headache, and a subjective feeling of the face feeling “swollen,” a perceptual distortion. No validated scale exists to assess facial pain in addition to perceptual distortion or headache. The objective was to develop a novel scale for assessment of facial symptoms experienced by patients presenting for rhinologic evaluation. Methods: This was a prospective validation cross-sectional study. A patient questionnaire, the 12-item Facial Complaints Evaluation Scale (FaCES-12), was created to evaluate facial symptoms based on clinical experience and the literature, including severity and timing of facial pain, facial pressure, facial perceptual swelling, and headache. Each item was assessed utilizing an 11-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 10 in severity. Data was collected prospectively from 210 patients in 1 private and 2 academic otolaryngologic practices from August to December 2019 along with the PROMIS Pain Intensity Scale 3a and 22-Item Sino-nasal Outcome Test. Construct validity was determined using Pearson correlation and exploratory factor analysis. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were assessed by calculating Cronbach’s alpha and assessing test-retest scores. Results: A new 12-item scale named FaCES-12 was developed. FaCES-12 demonstrated high reliability with a Cronbach’s alpha of .94 and high test-retest reliability ( r = .90). The scale revealed very strong correlation with the PROMIS Pain Intensity Scale 3a ( r = .81) and moderate correlation with the Sino-nasal Outcome Test ( r = .48). Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated the scale contained interrelated variables that measured unique components of facial sensations. Conclusion: The FaCES-12 is a valid and reliable instrument for use in the evaluation of facial symptoms. Further research into the application of this scale is warranted.
Increasing compliance with public health guidelines among adolescents: Lessons for the future from the US COVID-19 pandemic

Published: February 2024

Purpose: To explore factors influencing compliance with COVID-19 recommended preventive behaviours focusing on types of information sources about COVID-19, learning about disinfectant use and constructs of the Health Belief Model among adolescents at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: Cross-sectional descriptive design. Setting: A survey was distributed electronically to organisations, parents and student groups in Southern California 10 months after the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sample: A total of 217 students aged between 12 and 19 years old. Measures: Questions were adapted from a previous nationwide online survey about COVID-19. Analysis: Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were used to analyse the data. Results: The most common type of information (communication) source was an interpersonal one (parents), and the least common type was an official (federal, school) source. Statistically significant better protective behaviours aligned with COVID-19 recommendations were seen in students who received more information from official sources; less information from social media or friends; believed in the accuracy and benefits of utilising the COVID-19 pandemic information and learned about the use of disinfectants and were confident in cleaning surfaces of devices and equipped. However, those who perceived themselves at risk of COVID-19 infection and had perceived high risks in general reported lower (but not statistically significant) compliance with protective behaviour. The level of knowledge about COVID-19 was not statistically associated with compliance with protective behaviour. Conclusion: Parents’ role in guiding adolescents is critical. Evidence-based information about COVID-19 should be delivered through official sources to facilitate adolescents’ understanding and active participation in public health efforts.
