The Effect of the Seasonal Variations on the Structure of the Fish Community in Karstic Wetlands
Authors: Espinosa-Mendoza David Arturo , Arceo-Carranza Daniel , Chiappa-Carrara Xavier 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In Mexico, “petenes” are permanent aquatic systems sustained by aquifer discharges. They are encircled by tree vegetation and are prevalent in the coastal wetlands of the Yucatan Peninsula. Owing to the karstic nature of the substratum, these floodable systems exhibit a diverse range of dynamics, primarily influenced by precipitation, the extent of swamps and marshes, and sea water intrusion. The seasonal variation in precipitation and wetland inflow significantly impacts the physical and chemical characteristics of the water, thereby affecting species abundance and diversity. This study investigated fish communities in four petenes over two years, with bimonthly sampling encompassing the three typical seasons. A total of 12 fish species were identified, including a new record for the region. The sites displayed high spatial and seasonal variation in physical, chemical and hydrological parameters. We conclude that seasonal abiotic variation and habitat characteristics are fundamental in structuring fish communities and maintaining their diversity.
Wirksamkeit von verpflichtenden Büroquoten in hybriden Arbeitsmodellen
Authors: Bath Johanna , Brauchle Simone 
Published: February 2025

Zusammenfassung
Hybride Arbeitsmodelle haben sich seit der Corona Pandemie als fester Bestandteil in Unternehmen etabliert. Doch ringen Unternehmen immer noch mit der Ausgestaltung dieser Modelle, insbesondere wenn es um das richtige Maß der örtlichen Flexibilität geht. Mittlerweile setzen beispielsweise zwei Drittel der DAX Unternehmen auf feste Obergrenzen für Homeoffice Tage und erhoffen sich davon positive Einflüsse auf die Kultur, die Zusammenarbeit und nicht zuletzt die Performance der Organisation. In der vorliegenden Arbeit, wurde durch eine repräsentative Mehrebenenstudie untersucht, ob sich diese gewünschten Effekte tatsächlich einstellen. Die vorliegende Studie kommt zu dem Schluss, dass eine fest vorgeschriebene Anzahl von Bürotagen zwar tatsächlich dazu führt, dass Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter etwas mehr im Büro arbeiten, als in Unternehmen ohne solche Quoten, sich jedoch keine positiven Effekte durch besagte Quoten oder diese dadurch herbeigeführte Mehranwesenheit einstellen. Bei verschiedenen Ausprägungen beispielsweise der Bindung der Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter lassen sich sogar negative Auswirkungen in den Unternehmen mit Quote feststellen.

Praktische Relevanz: In vielen Unternehmen gibt es insbesondere bei der Neugestaltung von Betriebsvereinbarungen aber auch bei Führungswechseln in der Personalleitung oder der Geschäftsführung zu teils heftigen und kontroversen Diskussionen, um die Ausgestaltung der Regelungen zum mobilen Arbeiten. Hierbei werden argumentativ mit einer erhöhten Präsenz im Unternehmen viele Vorteile assoziiert. Diese positiven Zuschreibungen können in dieser Form in dieser Forschungsarbeit nicht nachgewiesen werden und Unternehmen sollten sich bei der Ausgestaltung ihrer hybriden Arbeitsmodelle daher nicht ausschließlich auf die Frage der „richtigen“ Anzahl der Bürotage konzentrieren, sondern alle bzw. die relevanten Stellhebel eines guten Arbeitsmodells ganzheitlicher betrachten.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Nearly everyone experiences some form of phobia-relevant fear—an excessive dread and inappropriate response to specific stimuli—at some point, either directly or indirectly, though not necessarily to the extent of a phobic disorder. This article presents a novel method for managing phobia-related fear using mixed reality (MR) application. Teaching phobia patients to recognize and manage their fear is crucial in therapy. Through MR, clients can experience scenarios linked to their phobia and see their responses. This training helps them cope better and allows for accurate fear assessment. The paper details creating the MR application “HoloPhoBye” for arachnophobia and ophidiophobia, compatible with Microsoft HoloLens 2. A study involving participants with these phobias assessed the effectiveness of exposure therapy through MR. Initial findings indicate a significant reduction in anxiety levels post-intervention, suggesting MR as a potent tool in phobia treatment. The design emphasizes gradual exposure, from less intimidating to more realistic encounters. Our research highlights MR’s potential to revolutionize traditional phobia management approaches.

Abstract
High-temperature confocal scanning laser microscopy (HT-CSLM) is a potent methodology for investigating various phenomena in the field of metallurgy. Initially applied to the observation of solid phase transformations and solidification, this method has gained traction in the field of non-metallic inclusion in steels in recent years. An overview of the experimental capabilities of HT-CSLM and the most important results of recent investigations regarding the topics of clean steel production are provided. It includes the formation of intragranular acicular ferrite (IAF) from the surface of non-metallic inclusions during the continuous cooling and heat treatment, which can be especially beneficial in the toughness of heat-affected zones of welded pieces. Furthermore, the investigation of agglomeration mechanisms of non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) in liquid steel is discussed to improve the insight into attraction forces between particles and clogging phenomena during continuous casting. Also, the dissolution of NMIs in various steelmaking slags can be observed by HT-CSLM to compare dissolution rates and mechanisms of NMI, where significant influences of temperature and chemical composition of the slag were shown. Last but not least, the experimental work regarding the interface between steel and slag is discussed, where novel techniques are currently being developed. A comprehensive summary of experimental techniques using HT-CSLM equipment to investigate different interactions of NMIs with steel and slag phases is compiled.

Abstract
In this study we propose and evaluate AtheroRisk, a standalone integrated computer software system for the analysis of carotid B-mode ultrasound (U/S) images and videos. Our goal was to provide a tool to help physicians stratify stroke risk. The presented system is based on outcomes from different research studies, as well as European guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of carotid artery disease. The goal is to enable reproducible analysis of atherosclerotic plaques in real time. AtheroRisk brings together analysis of U/S image and/or video of the carotid arteries facilitating anonymization, standardization, noise filtering and segmentation of plaques; followed by image and motion feature extraction to derive plaque-composition and stability. All the above steps are combined to determine the annual stroke risk rate and the 5-year stroke-free survival rate. The system is powered by an SQLite local database, in which the end user can save and manage data extracted from processing and analysis in an anonymized way. The first version of AtheroRisk was developed following an incremental software development process. The developed system was verified using 54 U/S videos (27 Asymptomatic, AS; 27 Symptomatic, SY cases) while the clinician’s satisfaction and comments were collected through a questionnaire-based validation process. The results show that the integrated system proposed in this study can be successfully used for the automated image and video analysis of the CCA plaque in ultrasound videos.
Environmental Externalities of Digital Financial Inclusion: a Green Growth perspective

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Transitioning to a resource-efficient, equitable and sustainable economy is one of the biggest goals in the twenty-first century, for developing and developed nations alike. For developing economies, however, aligning their economic growth trajectories with globally agreed-upon targets to reduce climate change and pollution is often debated as an unfair challenge. While earlier literature showed that financial inclusion, coupled with the right conditions in terms of governance and internationalization of an economy, is a crucial enabling factor in the green transitioning of an economy, the development of digital tools having wide-reaching impacts could come to the aid of policymakers. This research looks at the role ‘digital’ financial inclusion (DFI) plays in the green growth of a selected set of middle and upper-middle income countries, while also looking at the dynamics of the impact of globalization. Using the Pooled Mean Group method of ARDL, it was found that DFI does have a positive impact on a country’s green growth. While globalization seems to positively impact green growth in the short run, for our set of economies, globalization led to poorer green growth in the long run. We also discover a feedback effect in the form of bidirectional causality between green growth and digital financial inclusion, and green growth and globalization respectively. Moreover, education also aids the process of green growth of an economy, thus potentially adding a tool in the toolbox of the governance machinery in developing economies as they aim to achieve the dual goals of economic growth and sustainable development.
Continuous in time bubble decomposition for the harmonic map heat flow

Abstract
We consider the harmonic map heat flow for maps

$\mathbb {R}^{2} \to \mathbb {S}^2$

. It is known that solutions to the initial value problem exhibit bubbling along a well-chosen sequence of times. We prove that every sequence of times admits a subsequence along which bubbling occurs. This is deduced as a corollary of our main theorem, which shows that the solution approaches the family of multi-bubble configurations in continuous time.
An overview of the stratigraphic and paleobiogeographic occurrences of the lobster family Glypheidae, including a reappraisal of Early Jurassic Paraglyphea eureka from Argentina

Abstract
The knowledge on decapod crustaceans considerably increased in recent years, including that of the glypheid lobsters, known from the Early Jurassic to the present. On the basis of known occurrences worldwide, we analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of 86 species of the family Glypheidae and provide a general description of their history since the Early Jurassic. The first records are from low- to mid-paleolatitude localities of central Europe, around the margins of northern Tethys. During the Early Jurassic they diversified fast, and by Pliensbachian/Toarcian times they already had a wide paleolatitudinal range in both hemispheres. After a short decline in late Toarcian–Aalenian, they reached the highest diversity of their history during Oxfordian times and can be regarded as Jurassic cosmopolitans. After a diversity decline and occurrence gap during the earliest Cretaceous, they recovered again in the Barremian, but they were clearly beginning to be less diverse than before in the Tethys, to the point that by the Campanian their known occurrences were confined to high paleolatitudes. They survived the Cretaceous/Paleogene crisis but in Paleocene and Eocene times remained restricted to cold waters, being seemingly absent from low paleolatitudes. For a long time, the group was thought to be extinct about 50 million years ago, until two extant species were discovered in the deep Pacific. We also add to the knowledge of the only South American Jurassic Glypheidae known so far, the Toarcian Paraglyphea eureka (Damborenea and Manceñido, 1987) on the basis of newly collected material, discussing its significance and taphonomy.

AMOC Variability in Climate Models and Its Dependence on the Mean State
Authors: Ferster Brady S. , Fedorov Alexey V. , Mignot Juliette , Guilyardi Eric 
Published: February 2025

AbstractUnderstanding internal variability of the climate system is critical when isolating internal and anthropogenically forced signals. Here, we investigate the modes of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) variability using perturbation experiments with the Institut Pierre‐Simon Laplace's (IPSL) coupled model and compare them to Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) pre‐industrial control simulations. We identify two characteristic modes of variability—decadal‐to‐multidecadal (DMDvar) and centennial (CENvar). The former is driven largely by temperature anomalies in the subpolar North Atlantic, while the latter is driven by salinity in the western subpolar North Atlantic. The amplitude of each mode scales linearly with the mean AMOC strength in the IPSL experiments. The DMDvar amplitude correlates well with the AMOC mean strength across CMIP6 models, while the CENvar mode does not. These findings suggest that the strength of DMDvar depends robustly on the North Atlantic mean state, while the CENvar mode may be model‐dependent.
Prediction of Complex Observed Shear Wave Splitting Patterns at Ryukyu Subduction Zone Using a Strong Intra‐Slab Anisotropy Model

Published: February 2025

AbstractComplex shear wave splitting (SWS) patterns in subduction zones are often interpreted geodynamically as resulting from complex mantle flow; however, this may not always be necessary. We analyzed 7,093 high‐quality SWS measurements from teleseismic S waves recorded by Hi‐net stations across the Ryukyu arc in Japan. Our findings show a systematic rotation of the fast S polarization from trench‐parallel to trench‐perpendicular depending on the earthquake backazimuth. For the same earthquake, the measured splitting patterns also vary spatially across the southwest Japan. Using full‐wave seismic modeling, we showed that a dipping slab with ∼30% shear anisotropy of the tilted transverse isotropy (TTI) type, with a symmetry axis perpendicular to the slab interface, can predict the observed delay times and polarization rotation. Our results highlight the importance of considering dipping anisotropic slabs in interpreting SWS at subduction zones.
Detachment‐Fault Structure Beneath the TAG Hydrothermal Field, Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, Revealed From Dense Wide‐Angle Seismic Data

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe Trans‐Atlantic Geotraverse (TAG) field on the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge is one of the largest currently active seafloor hydrothermal fields known. An underlying detachment is inferred to maintain TAG's long‐lived hydrothermal discharge, but the detachment lacks a widespread corrugated surface. We used dense wide‐angle seismic data to define TAG's detachment structure at a finer scale than has previously been possible. We generated two P‐wave velocity profiles of the shallow section of the detachment using first‐arrival travel‐time tomography, preconditioned by downward continuation. Our results reveal a low‐angle detachment, dipping at ∼15° (±5°) at 5 km east of the ridge axis, and evidence for uplifted lower‐crustal gabbro in the footwall. Increasing footwall velocities southward suggest a more intense exhumation of deep‐seated rocks, showing the detachment's geometry changes along the ridge axis. We conclude the detachment is a complex 3‐D structure, and a young system without a dome‐shaped footwall can exhumes deep‐seated crustal rocks.

Published: February 2025

AbstractExamining large‐scale projected changes in streamflow and flood extent (e.g., inundation) for Alaska is essential for raising awareness of flood hazards under a changing climate and supporting broad‐scale adaptation planning. Therefore, we examine projected changes in peak streamflow timing and magnitude using a physically based hydrologic model. For model inputs, we utilize climate simulations conducted at 4‐km horizontal grid spacing over Alaska from 2005 to 2016, providing a historical and future pseudo‐global warming scenario. Analysis of hydrographs reveals the peak timing shifts slightly earlier in the year for most of Alaska's streams. The change in peak magnitude is more heterogeneous across the state, with the northernmost region showing the highest projected increases. The changes in timing are driven by temperature, while precipitation and temperature drive the changes in magnitude. These changes are then transformed into inundation maps, showing a similar albeit more muted pattern compared to the changes in magnitude.

AbstractThe increasing frequency of heatwaves over Southeast Asia (SEA) is impacting human health, infrastructure and economies. Understanding the relationship between large‐scale circulation patterns and heatwaves is crucial for improving predictions and reducing damages. In this study, four distinct circulation patterns conducive to SEA heatwaves are identified by the self‐organizing map. Three circulation patterns are associated with high‐pressure systems over the mid‐latitude Western Pacific and SEA, significantly influenced by El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). In addition to these common high‐pressure patterns, a low‐pressure dominant pattern is identified, characterized by two enhanced low‐pressure systems over the Tibetan Plateau and mid‐latitude Western Pacific, which deplete a considerable amount of moisture, resulting in diminished cloud cover and rapid warming across continental SEA. Further analysis reveals that all patterns are significantly modulated by Madden Jullian Oscillation (MJO) activities, each showing distinct peak occurrences in different MJO phases, with further links to ENSO and the Indian Ocean Dipole.

AbstractRapidly retreating marine‐terminating glaciers potentially release trapped greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Here, we quantified water‐air CH4 and N2O fluxes across a glacier‐lagoon‐ocean continuum in Iceland. Surface water CH4 ranged from 690% supersaturation relative to atmospheric equilibrium near the glacier to 140% on the shelf. N2O was undersaturated (84 ± 21%) near the glacier front and approached equilibrium in coastal seawater. The glacial lagoon was a CH4 source to the atmosphere and N2O sink, while nearshore shelf waters were a weak source of both gases. The total shelf CH4 emissions to the atmosphere were one order of magnitude greater than the lateral freshwater dissolved CH4 exports from the lagoon. The strong regional marine CO2 sink exceeds the CO2‐equivalent global warming potentials of CH4 and N2O emissions to the atmosphere by one order of magnitude. Overall, the glacier‐lagoon‐shelf continuum remains a major carbon sink despite widespread CH4 emissions and variable N2O sink/source behavior.

AbstractDuring geomagnetic storms, cold ions from the ionosphere substantially contribute to the plasma sheet population, which may significantly impact magnetotail energy conversion and transport. However, the energization of cold ions in the magnetotail during storm periods remains poorly understood. This paper investigates cold ion energization by secondary reconnection in a magnetotail reconnection outflow during a storm period. This secondary reconnection was triggered by the interaction between a large‐scale flux pileup region and a magnetic flux rope. Cold protons originating from the ionosphere were injected into the diffusion region from the lobe region. These cold protons gained energy mainly through the normal electric field in the flux pileup region before entering the cold ion diffusion region, where their bulk kinetic energy was mainly converted into thermal kinetic energy. These results will significantly advance our understanding of the energization and transport of cold ions in the magnetotail.
Robust Multi‐Decadal Variability of Madden‐Julian Oscillation Amplitude in the 20th Century

Published: February 2025

AbstractVariability of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) inferred from tropical in‐situ observations during 1940–2023 is examined, and compared to that derived from reanalyzes. MJO assessments are challenging because characterizing MJO behavior outside of the satellite era suffers from a lack of detailed information about its observed state, remote signals and often relies on climate models' typically poor MJO representation. This study shows that, while tropical soundings are spatially and temporally sparse, they are still useful for better understanding multi‐decadal MJO amplitude variability. The similarities between variability of the MJO derived from (imperfect) reanalysis products and (sparse) tropical station observations suggest that decadal changes during the last 60 years are physical and not necessarily related to changes in the observational network. The larger differences in MJO amplitude between station and reanalysis prior to 1960 suggest that sparse tropical observations are a barrier to fully characterizing long‐term MJO evolution during the century.
