Authors: Snyder Johnny , Maglasang Gibson 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT.
Dengue is a global health issue, particularly in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Prevention is the most appropriate method to fight the spread of the virus. The objective of this research is to present a model, along with visualizations, that will enable health officials and community leaders to identify when and where potential dengue outbreaks are likely to occur. Armed with this information, local resources can be adequately deployed in an effort to use limited supplies effectively. A mathematical model that uses easily obtainable data, along with visualizations for the 80 barangays of Cebu City, Philippines, is presented. Visualizations are constructed appropriate for a generalist audience to comprehend and use for dengue mitigation. Results of this study include a model that uses readily available data to predict dengue outbreaks one month in advance and visualizations appropriate for decision-makers in public health. Additional items are identified that could enhance the explanatory power of the model, and future directions are discussed.

Published: December 2023

The pandemic brought many changes, including for students. Various negative things experienced by students have an impact on their mental health. However, there are coping mechanisms that can bring positive changes to students' lives and help them survive the post-pandemic period. This research aimed to explore: the problems, level of stress, coping mechanisms carried out by students, and resilience level during the pandemic; the student's mental health situation during post-pandemic; and the recommendation for higher education (HE) institutions to support students' mental health. The research included 5018 students in bachelor's programs from 20 universities of APTIK members via quota sampling method on gender and class year (stage 1); and reports from students about their psychological symptoms during classes (n = 5 classes) and counseling (n = 10 cases) and literature review from explore 13 articles via Google scholar and Google search engine (stage 2). The study results show that students had many learning and social life challenges. Students who can develop positive coping with stress will be resilient and benefit from the experience during the pandemic, such as increased online learning skills, health awareness, and good time management. A positive coping strategy empowers the students to develop good mental health and survive during the pandemic, together with the support of the education system in higher education institutions. The institution should provide leadership, a good governance system, conducive teaching and learning system, and an appreciation for diversity and inclusivity to support students' mental health. The system should support the various changes experienced by students. With a good strategy and governance, there will be clarity and comfort so that it does not exacerbate the mental health problems encountered by many students. The impact is that students are more prepared and confident to connect with the industry world.

Authors: Sciubba Jennifer Dabbs 
Published: December 2023

This comprehensive and clear volume reveals the numerous ways demographic trends such as age structure, composition, and migration influence national security.
Population size, structure, distribution, and composition affect security in numerous ways, including national power, civil conflict, and development. The Future Faces of War: Population and National Security offers a comprehensive overview of how demographic trends can function as components, indicators, and multipliers of a state's national security. Each chapter focuses on a particular demographic trend and describes its national security implications in three realms—military, regime, and structural.
Illustrating the mechanisms by which demography and security are connected, the book pushes the conversation forward by challenging common conceptions about demographic trends and national security. Key for policymakers and general readers alike, it goes on to suggest ways trends can provide opportunities for building partnerships and strengthening states. Focusing on multiple scenarios and the theoretical links between population and security, the insights gathered here will remain relevant for years to come.

Process-oriented models of autumn leaf phenology: ways to sound calibration and implications of uncertain projections
Authors: Meier Michael , Bigler Christof 
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Autumn leaf phenology marks the end of the growing season, during which trees assimilate atmospheric CO2. The length of the growing season is affected by climate change because autumn phenology responds to climatic conditions. Thus, the timing of autumn phenology is often modeled to assess possible climate change effects on future CO2-mitigating capacities and species compositions of forests. Projected trends have been mainly discussed with regards to model performance and climate change scenarios. However, there has been no systematic and thorough evaluation of how performance and projections are affected by the calibration approach. Here, we analyzed >2.3 million performances and 39 million projections across 21 process-oriented models of autumn leaf phenology, 5 optimization algorithms, ≥7 sampling procedures, and 26 climate model chains from two representative concentration pathways. Calibration and validation were based on >45 000 observations for beech, oak, and larch from 500 central European sites each. Phenology models had the largest influence on model performance. The best-performing models were (1) driven by daily temperature, day length, and partly by seasonal temperature or spring leaf phenology; (2) calibrated with the generalized simulated annealing algorithm; and (3) based on systematically balanced or stratified samples. Autumn phenology was projected to shift between −13 and +20 d by 2080–2099 compared to 1980–1999. Climate scenarios and sites explained more than 80 % of the variance in these shifts and thus had an influence 8 to 22 times greater than the phenology models. Warmer climate scenarios and better-performing models predominantly projected larger backward shifts than cooler scenarios and poorer models. Our results justify inferences from comparisons of process-oriented phenology models to phenology-driving processes, and we advocate for species-specific models for such analyses and subsequent projections. For sound calibration, we recommend a combination of cross-validations and independent tests, using randomly selected sites from stratified bins based on mean annual temperature and average autumn phenology, respectively. Poor performance and little influence of phenology models on autumn phenology projections suggest that current models are overlooking relevant drivers. While the uncertain projections indicate an extension of the growing season, further studies are needed to develop models that adequately consider the relevant processes for autumn phenology.

Abstract. In a context of global warming and sea level rise acceleration, it is key to estimate the evolution of the atmospheric hydrological cycle and temperature in polar regions, which directly influence the surface mass balance of the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets. Direct observations are available from satellite data for the last 40 years and a few weather data since the 1950s in Antarctica. One of the best ways to access longer records is to use climate proxies in firn or ice cores. The water isotopic composition in these cores is widely used to reconstruct past temperature variations. We need to progress in our understanding of the influence of the atmospheric hydrological cycle on the water isotopic composition of ice cores. First, we present a 2-year-long time series of vapor and precipitation isotopic composition measurement at Dumont d’Urville Station, in Adélie Land. We characterize diurnal variations of meteorological parameters (temperature, atmospheric water mixing ratio (hereafter humidity) and δ18O) for the different seasons and determine the evolution of key relationships (δ18O versus temperature or humidity) throughout the year: we find that the temperature vs. δ18O relationship is dependent on synoptic events dynamics in winter contrary to summer. Then, this data set is used to evaluate the atmospheric general circulation model ECHAM6-wiso (model version with embedded water stable isotopes) in a coastal region of Adélie Land where local conditions are controlled by strong katabatic winds which directly impact the isotopic signal. We show that a combination of continental (79 %) and oceanic (21 %) grid cells leads model outputs (temperature, humidity and δ18O) to nicely fit the observations, at different timescales (i.e., seasonal to synoptic). Therefore we demonstrate the added value of long-term water vapor isotopic composition records for model evaluation. Then, as a clear link is found between the isotopic composition of water vapor and precipitation, we assess how isotopic models can help interpret short firn cores. In fact, a virtual firn core built from ECHAM-wiso outputs explains much more of the variability observed in S1C1 isotopic record than a virtual firn core built from temperature only. Yet, deposition and post-deposition effects strongly affect the firn isotopic signal and probably account for most of the remaining misfits between archived firn signal and virtual firn core based on atmospheric modeling.

Con este objetivo, metodológicamente se realizó un análisis cinematográfico y semiótico de las siete películas queer más representativas del cine Taiwanés y se han demostrado como resultados varios aspectos relativos a la estructura formal de las representaciones homoeróticas, las formas de autoidentificación de los públicos más jóvenes con este tipo de cine y las estrategias en la comunicación de los films, así como los debates culturales que plantean.
Propuesta de análisis de la formación continua del profesorado universitario mediante las categorías "sistema", "proceso" y "mediación"
Authors: Malagón Terrón Francisco Javier , Graell Martín Mariona 
Published: December 2023

El artículo presenta un aporte metodológico al análisis de la formación continua del profesorado universitario a partir de las categorías teóricas “sistema”, “proceso” y “mediación”. El interés de este trabajo estriba en su potencial utilidad para dotar de impulso tanto a los trabajos de investigación en este campo como a la gestión propiamente de este tipo de formación en las instituciones de Educación superior.
Con relación a la categoría “sistema” se ha realizado una propuesta de sus componentes, así como de las relaciones que estos establecen entre sí. También se han identificado un repertorio de fuentes de recursos materiales e inmateriales que nutren al sistema y se ha situado a la formación continua del PDI dentro de una estructura jerárquica de sistemas abiertos a la influencia de unos sobre otros. La aplicación de la noción de proceso ha dado lugar a una propuesta de quince procesos, clasificados en tres grupos, implicados y obligatorios, de cuya existencia y operatividad depende el funcionamiento de este tipo de formación en tanto que sistema. Finalmente, el concepto de mediación ha permitido analizar la funcionalidad de la formación continua del PDI tanto desde la perspectiva de la mediación cognitiva (temas, datos, contenidos) y de la mediación estructural (organización, formatos, métodos); como desde la perspectiva de la mediación horizontal (entre el profesorado alumno y el conocimiento) y la mediación vertical (entre los procesos de cambio a nivel macrosocial y las mentalidades y prácticas cotidianas del profesorado).
El profesorado universitario es un actor social de implantación global en las sociedades de nuestra época, desempeñando en ellas una función de gran relevancia en tanto que mediadores del conocimiento implicados en su producción y difusión, así como en la formación de profesionales en una amplia variedad de campos. La formación continua del personal docente e investigador de las Universidades es, por ello, un factor estratégico para la mejora de la Educación superior.

Published: December 2023

An experimental setup is presented which allows to experimentally determine the thermal heat losses from a heated solar cavity receiver with an airwall. The setup is a ‘near-full-scale’ replica of a receiver, which ensures that the characteristic fluid dynamic numbers are in a range relevant for practical industrial applications. The executed tests show that – at ideal configuration – the airwall can reduce the overall thermal losses by 7±2%. The reduction of the convective losses amounts to 32±11%, which is in line with the known predictions from CFD simulations.
