Abstract. Following the projected increase in extreme precipitation, an increase in extreme snowfall may be expected in cold regions, e.g., for high latitudes or at high elevations. By contrast, in low- to medium-elevation areas, the probability of experiencing rainfall instead of snowfall is generally projected to increase due to warming conditions. Yet, in mountainous areas, despite the likely existence of these contrasted trends according to elevation, changes in extreme snowfall with warming remain poorly quantified. This paper assesses projected changes in heavy and extreme snowfall, i.e., in mean annual maxima and 100-year return levels, in the French Alps as a function of elevation and global warming level. We apply a recent methodology, based on the analysis of annual maxima with non-stationary extreme value models, to an ensemble of 20 adjusted general circulation model–regional climate model (GCM–RCM) pairs from the EURO-CORDEX experiment under the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario. For each of the 23 massifs of the French Alps, maxima in the hydrological sense (1 August to 31 July) are provided from 1951 to 2100 and every 300 m of elevations between 900 and 3600 m. Results rely on relative or absolute changes computed with respect to current climate conditions (corresponding here to +1 ∘C global warming level) at the massif scale and averaged over all massifs. Overall, daily mean annual maxima of snowfall are projected to decrease below 3000 m and increase above 3600 m, while 100-year return levels are projected to decrease below 2400 m and increase above 3300 m. At elevations in between, values are on average projected to increase until +3 ∘C of global warming and then decrease. At +4 ∘C, average relative changes in mean annual maxima and 100-year return levels, respectively, vary from −26 % and −15 % at 900 m to +3 % and +8 % at 3600 m. Finally, for each global warming level between +1.5 and +4 ∘C, we compute the elevation threshold that separates contrasted trends, i.e., where the average relative change equals zero. This elevation threshold is shown to be lower for higher return periods, and it is projected to rise from 3000 m at +1.5 ∘C to 3350 m at +4 ∘C for mean annual maxima and from 2600 to 3000 m for 100-year return levels. These results have implications for the management of risks related to extreme snowfall.

Edwina Eunice Abbott (Cowan): Pioneer Psychologist
Authors: MacLeod Colin M. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Edwina Abbott (1887–1949), although little known to the field today, made significant contributions in several domains of psychology—experimental, developmental, and clinical—in the first half of the 20th century. In particular, she was the first to empirically study the “testing effect”—that learning and memory benefit from testing, not just from additional study—before going on to establish and direct an early laboratory for developmental and clinical research and treatment in Wichita, Kansas. Her forward-looking research and her devotion to applications of laboratory findings justify the designation “pioneer of psychology.”

The postcolonial theory conflicts with the essentialism of individuality, identity, and nation. Within its scope, related concepts such as hybridity are advocated and adopted as a systematic approach for resisting the colonialism’s and colonization’s discourse. Appropriating and adapting a postcolonial textual analysis of Jim’s problem of slavery in Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, this paper expounds that even though racism and slavery, offshoots of cultural traditions and social systems, have created Jim’s identity as a slave; he dynamically uses the hybrid approach to hit back the racist system in his life. Besides the fact that identity pursuit is a complaint and a scorn against the racial system, it is a confirmation of identity confusion among people in contemporary societies.

Published: November 2023

Introduction:
Mentorship is an invaluable facet of medical education. The purpose of this study was to analyze medical student perspectives of mentorship they received and the influence this has on their participation in the field of orthopaedic surgery.

Methods:
We conducted a cross-sectional study of medical students interested in pursuing orthopaedic surgery through an 18-question survey distributed through social media and e-mail.

Results:
Two hundred fifteen students completed this survey, with over 50% of students reporting that they have a mentor in orthopaedic surgery while 34% were actively seeking one. Most students found mentors through research opportunities (25%) and cold e-mails (20%). Common hurdles to mentorship were access (38%) and finding common time (30%). Peer mentorship had a higher mean satisfaction score in all domains, except facilitating matching, and there was a significant difference between groups (e.g., peer mentor versus program director; P < 0.001). Sex, race, and degree type were not significantly related to students' access to or their evaluation of mentors (P > 0.05 for all).

Conclusion:
Overall, this study demonstrates that medical students across the nation rely on mentorship to guide them on their path to becoming an orthopaedic surgeon.
Materiality and Virtuality, Touch and Distance from the (Femi) Graphic Perspective
Authors: Keckes Irena , Zimna Katarzyna 
Published: November 2023

The time of pandemic acted as a magnifying glass – directing one’s attention to features of printmaking practice that correspond with contemporary condition of humans and their needs in terms of communication, contact and relations. As two female printmakers practicing relief printing techniques and trying to push and expand the range of tools and recipes of our graphic kitchen, we exchange and discuss our personal narratives, experiences and experiments. The keywords that kept reappearing during these last two years were for us: materiality, touch, presence, constantly followed and supplemented by virtuality, distance and representation.

The above notions resonate with Jennifer L. Roberts’ series of Mellon Lectures (2021) entitled Contact: Art and the Pull of Print – with conceptual brackets that can be identified with two opposite or complementary concepts: contact and alienation. Using examples of our practices we refer to the idea of “new materiality”, exploring how different materials of a matrix, of paper or fabric “give life to different realities and actualise aspects of subjectivity, embodiment and human-world relations that are particular to their material qualities” (Coleman, Page, Palmer, 2019).

However, the haptic quality of the process as a part of the artist’s experience is difficult to transfer and share with the audience in the situation of the virtual distribution of the image. How can we interpret and make most of the notion of touch in order to translate it into “tuché” (Lacanian “encounter with the real”), despite the mediation of the screen? Can we provocatively argue that virtual presentation can be seen as “porno-graphic” of the printmaking practice with the images being inevitably digitally edited and presented in such way that they look flawless, alienated from the real world?

The paper also explores the narrative strands, entangled with the ambiguous experience of touch, explored through our printmaking practices.
Does the Role of Family Assisted Cognitive Remediation Therapy Still Exists in Modern Era of Artificial Intelligence: A Randomized Case-control Study for Schizophrenia Patients from Rural Background

Published: November 2023

Background: Last decade showed promising evidences of computer based therapies, incorporating either an in-patient or home-based computer model for training the family members. The crux of all these studies focuses on the role of “family”. The compliance and perception, from a patient perspective, especially in a developing country, is still unproven.
Purpose and Design: The aim of our randomized case-control study, was to analyze the impact of add-on FACT in stable patients of Schizophrenia and assess and the level of functioning and quality of life (QoL) among two groups. The primary outcome measures (PANSS and SCoRS) and secondary outcome measure (GAF and WHODAS) were compared among two groups.
Material and methods: 96 patients of stable Schizophrenia, were randomized in two groups, Group A (study group, n=48) included patients, who receive add-on FACT and Group B (control group, n=48) includes the patients on our standard protocol (pharmacotherapy and brief counselling). Both the groups received single session of psycho-education with, Group A receiving an additional four training sessions. We targeted prospective memory, conversational and task vigilance, verbal learning and memory, cognitive flexibility and problem solving in our sessions. Assessments were done at baseline, 8 and 16 weeks and domains were compared.
Results: There was significant improvement in outcome measures of psychopathology, level of functioning, quality of life and disability among patients of Group A. Of the cognitive domains, trend of an improvements was seen inattention/vigilance, working memory, processing speed, household responsibility and social cognition.
Conclusion: The collaborative efforts of treating physician and family involvement showed significant clinical outcome. FACT holds promise in the rehabilitation for stable patients of schizophrenia. The therapy modifies family dynamics, retaining the roots of psycho-education and tailored cognitive therapy model; irreplaceable for any artificial intelligence model.

Spatial configuration, building microclimate and thermal comfort
Authors: Du Xiaoyu 
Published: November 2023

In this paper, the authors attempt to clarify the relationship between spatial configuration, building microclimate and thermal comfort through the investigation of a modern house in hot and humid climate with spatial diversity. First, the spatial configuration of the house was analysed in detail. The spatial geometric features, spatial boundary conditions, and human activities in the building were categorised. Secondly, field measurements were conducted to investigate the microclimate of the house. The air temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity were monitored on typical summer days. Thirdly, a dynamic thermal simulation was performed to predict the thermal comfort performance of the building over the period of an entire summer. The simulated results were compared with the measurements, and the adaptive thermal comfort approach was used to evaluate the thermal comfort. The modern house studied was found to have a varied spatial configuration, similar to local vernacular buildings, which produces diverse thermal environments in the building. The microclimate of this specific building could provide considerable thermal comfort for the occupants in summer under the local climate conditions, although thermal comfort cannot be achieved through free-running model in the hottest days, mechanical cooling or mixed model are needed.
The nature of qualitative construction partnering research
Authors: Venselaar Marieke , Wamelink Hans 
Published: November 2023

This paper investigates the nature of qualitative construction partnering research, by reviewing academic peer reviewed papers about this topic. Results show that most papers focus on multi-player, inter-organizational relationships in supply chains that collaborate in new building projects. Intra-organizational relationships collaborating in existing projects are underexposed. Also, four methodological gaps are identified. 1) Insight in the process of data analysis is underexposed. 2) Reflection on the role of the researcher(s) in the research process is underexposed. 3) The individual level of analysis is underexposed. 4) The way in which the results are generalized remain somewhat opaque, especially reflections on internal generalization is underexposed. All identified gaps have in common that specific time and place dependent details that may have influenced understanding of studied individuals are underexposed. This may explain why construction partnering research is experienced by some authors as stylized and abstracted from working practice. The identified gaps are translated into recommendations for further study. Applying the recommendations, will lead to a research discourse that represent the characteristics of ordinary working practice and the process of studying that working practice. More focus on local time and place dependent factors of the studied individuals as well as the process of studying it, inevitably leads to encountering (and becoming more aware of) personal, subjective and unexplainable decisions and behavior. By applying the recommendations, this paper attempts to contribute to further development of academic research on this topic and increase effectiveness of partnering in the construction sector.

Paper is a material we know from our day-to-day lives because it is used in newspapers, tissues, packaging, etc. Its web-like structure consists of wood fibres and can be visualised by comparing it to the cooking of a portion of spaghetti that is later served onto a plate.

Paper is often associated with traditional materials and production technologies. Brought to life in the second century AD, paper has had a significant role in the history of civilisations, from the Chinese empire through the Guttenberg era up to the current ‘digital age’. It has primarily been used as an information carrier and packaging material. However, the architectural applications of paper have been known since the eighth century AD.

Although production technologies and the finish of paper have changed and improved over the years, paper has in fact remained remarkably the same through the centuries. It still has the same composition: cellulose fibres bonded in a wet environment, then pressed and dried. Recently, not only the paper-making industry has undergone change, but other industries, like architecture, electronics, the automotive industry and others, are also receptive to the innovative qualities of paper.

Growing awareness of the scarceness of fossil fuels and natural resources, the need to curb CO2 emissions and the necessity of reducing the ecological burden caused by the use of materials such as plastics, foam, concrete or steel is encouraging people to find more environmentally friendly solutions, including the circular economy.

Paper and its derivatives can satisfy these needs, although it seems that the golden age of paper is coming to an end. Electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets and e-readers, as well as the growing popularity of electronic media, have taken the place of traditional print media, which has resulted in the paper industry’s decline as the producer of information carriers. However, the paper industry can develop in other directions, e.g. smart packaging, the provision of energy and construction materials, where this renewable and cheap material can make a new start, using and being used along with new technologies and innovations.

Sustainable development was first described in the Agenda21 document in 1992 and its appendices, which state that the most important challenges for global policy are improving people’s lives and conserving our natural resources in a world that is growing in population, with ever-increasing demands for food, water, shelter, sanitation, energy, health services and economic security. Moreover, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union ordered in Directive 2008/98/EC that by 2020, the weight amount of recycled or re-used construction waste must be increased to a minimum of 70%.

These challenges can be addressed by renewable resources – reusable, recyclable, available and affordable materials, among other things. One of these renewable resources is paper.
