Multimodal Multiphoton Tomography with a Compact Femtosecond Fiber Laser
Authors: König Karsten 
Published: December 2023

Multiphoton tomography (MPT) based on near infrared (NIR) femtosecond laser technology has become a versatile high-resolution clinical and research imaging tool. We report on multimodal MPT with the air-cooled fiber laser tomograph MPTcompact. The ultracompact passively mode-locked erbium-doped 50/80 MHz laser operating at 780 nm is directly integrated into the 360° imaging head mounted on a flexible mechanical arm. The tomograph provides optical biopsies with subcellular resolution and optical metabolic imaging capability based on two-photon autofluorescence (AF), second harmonic generation, fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) by time-correlated single photon counting with 250 ps temporal resolution, reflectance confocal microscopy, and white LED light CMOS camera imaging. For the first time, NIR femtosecond laser pulses have been used on human skin to realize simultaneous one-photon confocal imaging and two-photon imaging. Most useful information is provided by the two-photon excited intratissue AF of the coenzymes NAD(P)H and flavins. The signals of both types of coenzymes can be separated by FLIM. Furthermore, the free and protein-bound forms can be distinguished by time-resolved AF detection because the protein-bound NADH has one order higher AF lifetime than free (non-bound) NADH. The tomograph contains onboard storage batteries so that it can operate for up to a few hours independently from external power supply. Applications include in vivo cancer detection and in situ evaluation of anti-aging drugs and pharmaceuticals. The tomograph MPTcompact has been successfully tested in a clinical multicenter study for the diagnosis of malignant melanoma on 100 patients with suspicious pigmented lesions. MPT has the potential to realize non-invasive high-resolution label-free in vivo histology within minutes and, therefore, to reduce the number of physically taken biopsies.

Rembrandt Seen Through Jewish Eyes
Authors: Knotter Mirjam , Schwartz Gary 
Published: December 2023

The earliest painting by Rembrandt whose owner is documented depicts the prophet Balaam, on his way to blessing Israel. The man who bought it was a Sephardi Jew in the service of Cardinal Richelieu of France. The first known buyer of an etching plate by Rembrandt, depicting Abraham Dismissing Hagar and Ishmael, was a Sephardi Jew of Amsterdam. Seen through their eyes, Rembrandt was the creator of images with a special meaning to Jews. They have been followed through the centuries by Jewish collectors, Jewish art historians, Jewish artists who saw their own deepest concerns modelled in his art and life, and even prominent rabbis, one of whom said that Rembrandt was a Tzadik, a holy man blessed by God.
This book is the first study in depth of the potent bond between Rembrandt and Jews, from his time to ours, a bond that has penetrated the image of the artist and the people alike.
Improving Data Analysis by Testing by Betting: Optional Continuation and Descriptive Statistics
Authors: Shafer Glenn 
Published: December 2023

When testing a statistical hypothesis, is it legitimate to deliberate on the basis of initial data about whether and how to collect further data? Game-theoretic probability’s fundamental principle for testing by betting says yes, provided that you are testing the hypothesis’s predictions by betting and do not risk more capital than initially committed. Standard statistical theory uses Cournot’s principle, which does not allow such optional continuation. Cournot’s principle can be extended to allow optional continuation when testing is carried out by multiplying likelihood ratios, but the extension lacks the simplicity and generality of testing by betting.
Testing by betting can also help us with descriptive data analysis. To obtain a purely and honestly descriptive analysis using competing probability distributions, we have them bet against each other using the principle. The place of confidence intervals is then taken by sets of distributions that do relatively well in the competition. In the simplest implementation, these sets coincide with R. A. Fisher’s likelihood ranges.

Towards robust seasonal streamflow forecasts in mountainous catchments: impact of calibration metric selection in hydrological modeling
Authors: Araya Diego , Mendoza Pablo A. , Muñoz-Castro Eduardo , McPhee James 
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Dynamical (i.e., model-based) methods are widely used by forecasting centers to generate seasonal streamflow forecasts, building upon process-based hydrological models that require parameter specification (i.e., calibration). Here, we investigate the extent to which the choice of calibration objective function affects the quality of seasonal (spring–summer) streamflow hindcasts produced with the traditional ensemble streamflow prediction (ESP) method and explore connections between hindcast skill and hydrological consistency – measured in terms of biases in hydrological signatures – obtained from the model parameter sets. To this end, we calibrate three popular conceptual rainfall-runoff models (GR4J, TUW, and Sacramento) using 12 different objective functions, including seasonal metrics that emphasize errors during the snowmelt period, and produce hindcasts for five initialization times over a 33-year period (April 1987–March 2020) in 22 mountain catchments that span diverse hydroclimatic conditions along the semiarid Andes Cordillera (28–37∘ S). The results show that the choice of calibration metric becomes relevant as the winter (snow accumulation) season begins (i.e., 1 July), enhancing inter-basin differences in hindcast skill as initializations approach the beginning of the snowmelt season (i.e., 1 September). The comparison of seasonal hindcasts shows that the hydrological consistency – quantified here through biases in streamflow signatures – obtained with some calibration metrics (e.g., Split KGE (Kling–Gupta efficiency), which gives equal weight to each water year in the calibration time series) does not ensure satisfactory seasonal ESP forecasts and that the metrics that provide skillful ESP forecasts (e.g., VE-Sep, which quantifies seasonal volume errors) do not necessarily yield hydrologically consistent model simulations. Among the options explored here, an objective function that combines the Kling–Gupta efficiency (KGE) and the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) with flows in log space provides the best compromise between hydrologically consistent simulations and hindcast performance. Finally, the choice of calibration metric generally affects the magnitude, rather than the sign, of correlations between hindcast quality attributes and catchment descriptors, the baseflow index and interannual runoff variability being the best predictors of forecast skill. Overall, this study highlights the need for careful parameter estimation strategies in the forecasting production chain to generate skillful forecasts from hydrologically consistent simulations and draw robust conclusions on streamflow predictability.
Southern Weddell Sea surface freshwater flux modulated by icescape and atmospheric forcing

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Sea ice formation dominates surface salt forcing in the southern Weddell Sea. Brine rejected in the process of sea ice production results in the production of High Salinity Shelf Water (HSSW) that feeds the global overturning circulation and fuels the basal melt of the adjacent ice shelf. The strongest sea ice production rates are found in coastal polynyas, where steady offshore winds promote divergent ice movement during the freezing season. We used the Finite Element Sea ice–ice shelf–Ocean Model (FESOM) forced by output from the regional atmospheric model COSMO-CLM (CCLM) with 14 km horizontal resolution to investigate the role of polynyas for the surface freshwater flux of the southern Weddell Sea (2002–2017). The presence of stationary icescape features (i.e., fast-ice areas and grounded icebergs) can influence the formation of polynyas and, therefore, impact sea ice production. The representation of the icescape in our model is included by prescribing the position, shape and temporal evolution of a largely immobile ice mélange formed between the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS) and a major grounded iceberg based on satellite data. We find that 70 % of the ice produced on the continental shelf of the southern Weddell Sea is exported from the region. While coastal polynyas cover 2 % of the continental shelf area, sea ice production within the coastal polynyas accounts for 17 % of the overall annual sea ice production (1509 km3). The largest contributions come from the Ronne Ice Shelf and Brunt Ice Shelf polynyas and polynyas associated with the ice mélange. Furthermore, we investigate the sensitivity of the polynya-based ice production to the (i) representation of the icescape and (ii) regional atmospheric forcing. Although large-scale atmospheric fields determine the sea ice production outside polynyas, both the treatment of the icescape and the regional atmospheric forcing are important for the regional patterns of sea ice production in polynyas. The representation of the ice mélange is crucial for the simulation of polynyas westward/eastward of it, which are otherwise suppressed/overestimated. Compared to using ERA-Interim reanalysis as an atmospheric forcing data set, using CCLM output reduces polynya-based ice production over the eastern continental shelf due to weaker offshore winds, yielding a more realistic polynya representation. Our results show that the location and not just the strength of the sea ice production in polynyas is a relevant parameter in setting the properties of the HSSW produced on the continental shelf, which in turn affects the basal melting of the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf.

Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, despite having similar historical background, have borders disputes because the boundaries of their natural resources are not clear. Since these two countries were part of Soviet Union, the researchers studied the roles of Russia in the efforts to resolving the problems. In this research, qualitative method was conducted. The data were collected through library research in which the researchers used journals, books, and official websites that were relevant to the research topic. This study showed that the border conflicts between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan were difficult to resolve. In resolving this conflict, Russia had tried to mediate the two countries, but in the end the conflicts remained.
What are the experiences of people with learning disabilities, and their support workers, when negotiating access to opportunities for developing relationships and intimacy?
Authors: Race Leanne 
Published: December 2023

IntroductionPeople with learning disabilities (PWLD) are often described as ‘vulnerable’ and needing protection. This contributes to a lack of involvement in decision making. Despite recent positive shifts in societal attitudes surrounding sex and PWLD, gaps between attitudes and practice remain (Shakespeare & Richardson, 2018). There is confusion about how to effectively support and empower PWLD to engage in intimate relationships whilst minimising potential harm. This study aimed to explore the experiences of PWLD and their support workers, when negotiating access to relationships and intimacy. The voices of PWLD were at the centre of this research.MethodA qualitative methodology was used to explore the topic. Three PWLD and three support workers participated. It consisted of two parts: part one was data creation using prompt cards to facilitate discussion between PWLD and support workers and part two was a semi structured interview with individual participants using an Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) framework. Data was analysed using a multi perspective Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach.ResultsPersonal experiential themes (PETs) and subthemes represented the experiences of each participant and were then analysed in the context of their pair (PWLD and support workers). Group experiential themes (GETs) were developed for the group as a whole, paying particular attention to any similarities or differences between PWLD and support workers. Four overarching GETs were: intersecting layers of vulnerability, navigating without a compass, the struggle for control and fearing negative consequences.DiscussionThis study provided each participant with a rare opportunity to safely discuss relationships and intimacy in a scaffolded space. The outcomes highlight a need for further education and guidance for both PWLD and support workers as the current lack of this contributed to parallel experiences of perceived vulnerability. This often led to avoidance and restriction of PWLD’s right to engage in relationships and intimacy.

El modo dórico en el flamenco: La teoría musical al servicio de la ideología
Authors: Bäcker Rolf 
Published: December 2023

Entre los elementos musicales más característicos del flamenco se encuentra el modo frigio, máximo responsable a nivel auditivo del carácter exótico que se suele atribuir al género. Este modo, en algunas publicaciones puntuales, pero muy influyentes desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX, fue re-bautizado como “modo dórico” o “modo dórico flamenco”. El presente articulo pretende arrojar luz sobre las referencias de esta re-interpretación en fuentes de la Antigüedad clásica, donde se encuentran las raíces de la relación entre la estructura musical y el uso terminológico. Mediante un análisis de carácter semiótico se esbozará un conjunto de denotaciones y connotaciones que reflejan dicotomías fundamentales en la construcción de identidades occidentales y orientales. Estas dicotomías se encuentran también en la creación de un imaginario español y, por extensión, del flamenco desde la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. Desde las primeras consideraciones del flamenco por parte de la intelectualidad española a finales del siglo XIX, se aprecia una voluntad de relativizar sus asociaciones incómodas y enfatizar sus aspectos tradicionales, artísticos y especialmente históricos. Éstas, a su vez, servían de fundamento para que una parte de la flamencología realizase la descrita re-interpretación del modo frigio como dórico. Finalmente se situará la re-interpretación en su contexto ideológico de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, con respecto tanto a la estética flamenca como al trasfondo histórico-político.
Palabras clave: flamenco, frigio, dórico, semiótica, ideología
AbstractThe Phrygian mode appears amongst flamenco’s most characteristic musical elements, responsible for the exotic character often attributed to the genre. This mode was re-named “Dorian mode” or “Dorian flamenco mode” in some of the most influential publications since the second half of the 20th century. The present article pretends to shed some light on the references of this re-interpretation in the classical Antiquity, where the roots of the link between musical structure and terminology can be found. By means of a semiotical analysis, a sketch of a group of connotations and denotations will be made which reflect fundamental dichotomies for the construction of Western and Eastern identities. These dichotomies can also be found in the creation of a Spanish and, by extension, flamenco imagery since the second half of the 18th century. Beginning at flamenco’s first mention by Spanish intellectuals at the end of the 19th century, a will to play down embarrassing associations and emphasize traditional, artistic and especially historical aspects can be observed. These, in turn, served a part of modern flamencology as a basis for the above described re-interpretation of the Phrygian mode as Dorian. Finally, the resulting discourse is explained in the ideological context of the second half of the 20th century, with respect to flamenco aesthetics as well as the historical-political background.

Gamificación-educación: el poder del dato. El profesorado en las redes sociales
Authors: Barroso Moreno Carlos , Mendoza Carretero Mª Rosario , Sáenz-Rico de Santiago Belén , Rayón Rumayor Laura 
Published: December 2023

Las redes sociales son espacios de intercambio de contenido para el profesorado sobre nuevos planteamientos metodológicos en torno a la gamificación. Nos preguntamos sobre la integración de la gamificación en las tendencias digitales presentes y futuras. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo determinar comportamientos de las publicaciones con contenido de gamificación en las redes sociales de Twitter, Instagram y TikTok. Las técnicas de «Web scraping» para Instagram y TikTok, junto con la API de Twitter, recopilan 189.414 publicaciones con las palabras clave de gamificación y educación en español e inglés, durante el año 2022. Estos grandes volúmenes de datos se ponen a disposición de los interesados mediante Power Business Intelligence de Microsoft. Mediante un muestreo deliberativo profundizamos en el análisis sobre las 100 publicaciones más virales de cada red social para responder al objetivo de investigación. Los resultados destacan la presencia del profesorado en las redes sociales, predominante en Instagram para la etapa de Educación Primaria, y la influencia del género en las publicaciones. El género masculino dispone de un número mayor de seguidores y publicaciones, pero el femenino tiene seguidores con mayor apoyo en «like». Los intereses mercantiles en la temática gamificación se ven acentuados en las tendencias digitales, aunque son menores en comparación con compartir recursos sin fines lucrativos. Se concluye que los docentes usuarios de las redes sociales se convierten en agentes emergentes de diseño de materiales y, por tanto, en mediadores entre el Curriculum y la práctica.
