Abstract. This study estimated raindrop size distribution (DSD) and
rainfall intensity with an infrared surveillance camera in dark conditions. Accordingly, rain streaks were extracted using a k-nearest-neighbor (KNN)-based algorithm. The rainfall intensity was estimated using DSD based on a physical optics analysis. The estimated DSD was verified using a disdrometer for the two rainfall events. The results are summarized as follows. First, a KNN-based algorithm can accurately recognize rain streaks from complex backgrounds captured by the camera. Second, the number concentration of raindrops obtained through closed-circuit television (CCTV) images had values between 100 and 1000 mm−1 m−3, and the root mean square error (RMSE) for the number concentration by CCTV and PARticle SIze and VELocity (PARSIVEL) was 72.3 and 131.6 mm−1 m−3 in the 0.5 to 1.5 mm section. Third, the maximum raindrop diameter and the number concentration of 1 mm or less produced similar results during the period with a high ratio of diameters of 3 mm or less. Finally, after comparing with the 15 min cumulative PARSIVEL rain rate, the mean absolute percent error (MAPE) was 49 % and 23 %, respectively. In addition, the differences according to rain rate are that the MAPE was 36 % at a rain rate of less than 2 mm h−1 and 80 % at a rate above 2 mm h−1. Also, when the rain rate was greater than 5 mm h−1, MAPE was 33 %. We confirmed the possibility of estimating an image-based DSD and rain rate obtained based on low-cost equipment during dark conditions.
Modelling feedbacks between the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets and climate during the last glacial cycle

Published: February 2023

Abstract. During the last glacial cycle (LGC), ice sheets covered large parts of Eurasia and North America, which resulted in ∼120 m of sea level change. Ice sheet–climate interactions have considerable influence on temperature and precipitation patterns and therefore need to be included when simulating this time period. Ideally, ice sheet–climate interactions are simulated by a high-resolution Earth system model. While these models are capable of simulating climates at a certain point in time, such as the pre-industrial (PI) or the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 21 000 years ago), a full transient glacial cycle is currently computationally unfeasible as it requires a too-large amount of computation time. Nevertheless, ice sheet models require forcing that captures the gradual change in climate over time to calculate the accumulation and melt of ice and its effect on ice sheet extent and volume changes. Here we simulate the LGC using an ice sheet model forced by LGM and PI climates. The gradual change in climate is modelled by transiently
interpolating between pre-calculated results from a climate model for the
LGM and the PI. To assess the influence of ice sheet–climate interactions, we use two different interpolation methods: the climate matrix method, which includes a temperature–albedo and precipitation–topography feedback, and the glacial index method, which does not. To investigate the sensitivity of the results to the prescribed climate forcing, we use the output of several models that are part of the Paleoclimate Modelling
Intercomparison Project Phase III (PMIP3). In these simulations, ice volume
is prescribed, and the climate is reconstructed with a general circulation
model (GCM). Here we test those models by using their climate to drive an
ice sheet model over the LGC. We find that the ice volume differences caused by the climate forcing exceed
the differences caused by the interpolation method. Some GCMs produced
unrealistic LGM volumes, and only four resulted in reasonable ice sheets, with
LGM Northern Hemisphere sea level contribution ranging between 74–113 m with respect to the present day. The glacial index and climate matrix methods result in similar ice volumes at the LGM but yield a different ice
evolution with different ice domes during the inception phase of the glacial
cycle and different sea level rates during the deglaciation phase. The
temperature–albedo feedback is the main cause of differences between the
glacial index and climate matrix methods.
APPARATUS DIFFICULTY IN RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS ROUTINES – COMPARISON BETWEEN 2 OLYMPIC CYCLES
Authors: Leandro Catarina 
Published: February 2023

The aim of this study was to analyze the evolution of the apparatus difficulty in Rhythmic Gymnastics gymnasts in 2 Olympic cycles and identify eventual factors that could contribute to improve the performance quality in competition. We studied the value of the apparatus difficulty in the gymnasts (potentially the gymnasts could participate in the Olympic Games) of the first World Championships of each cycle (2012/2016 e 2016/2020). This analysis focused on the technical value of the apparatus difficulty performed by the gymnasts in a total of 288 competition routines in the World Championships 2013, and 200 competition routines in the World Championships 2017. The data was treated using the descriptive statistics and after checking the normality of the data distribution using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test we used a t-test to determine whether there were significant differences between the World Championships.
Results showed an increasing appreciation of the apparatus difficulty in the final score of the gymnasts. The apparatus difficulty elements were significantly increased from one cycle to the other, mainly due to the increase of the Mastery value. There’s a greater balance in the use of different elements, giving privilege to the apparatus technique. The increase on the value of the apparatus difficulty in the RG competition routines will contribute for the quality and diversity of the RG competition in the Olympic Games
DO WOMEN’S TEAM MEMBERS COMBINED CAREER DURATIONS IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES AND WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS INFLUENCE TEAM OUTCOMES? A HISTORICAL EXAMINATION – 1936 TO 2016
Authors: Sands William , Donti Olyvia 
Published: February 2023

U.S.A.’s Women’s Gymnastics team has performed exceptionally at the Olympic Games and World Championships in recent years. One of the aspects of performance thought to be important in team events is the prior experience of the athletes. Prior experience can be measured by an athlete’s total number of world level competitions and career durations prior to a given competition. Olympic and World Championship team rosters and team ranks were examined from 1936 to 2016. The number of competitions per athlete and ranks of the teams were tallied and analyzed over the entire period. There were 193 individual athletes and 43 competitions. Athlete career durations were determined by calculation of years between competitions in which the athlete participated. Time-series regression analyses showed no relation between career durations and time while there was a statistically significant trend of team rank reduction (better team finishes) over time. After dividing the study period into two-time segments, there were no statistical differences between early and late periods in career durations, while there were statistical differences in team ranks over the same durations. Olympic Games and World Championships were separated and again there was no statistical difference between the two competition levels on career durations nor did the ranks of the two periods show statistical differences. There did not appear to be a relationship between career durations and team performance ranks.
Decolonizing Churches
Authors: Arenas Sandra 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The Ecclesiological Investigations International Research Network gathered in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in June 2022 to discuss the issue of “decolonizing churches” from ecumenical, intercultural, and interdisciplinary perspectives. And, although the place was chosen for a number of reasons, one of the main ones was that the Caribbean context and especially the island of Puerto Rico contributed to further problematize the colonize-decolonize binomial within ecclesial and theological coordinates. This article captures the main insights gained throughout the whole academic meeting as well as the stumbling blocks for decolonizing churches and the challenges that ecumenical theology faces.
Católicos en las calles
Authors: Mauro Diego , Ramón Solans Francisco Javier 
Published: February 2023

Paradigma de las ensoñaciones del progreso, aquellas bulliciosas ciudades de comienzos del siglo XX fascinaron a sus contemporáneos. Las multitudesque diariamente las atravesaban fueron objetos de sinfonías fílmicas como el Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstad (1927) de Walter Ruttmann. Incluso los mecanismos narrativos de las novelas se modificaron para dar cuenta de la multiplicidad de voces que se escondían en aquellas vibrantes ciudades como enel Manhattan Transfer (1925) de John Dos Passos o en el Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929) de Alfred Döblin. El carácter de estas gigantescas urbes también generóreflexiones y respuestas en el marco del catolicismo. La moderna ciudad fue vista como una nueva Babilonia, un terreno de tentación y descontrol,de corrupción moral. Al mismo tiempo, desde el otro lado de la “trinchera”, los anticlericales vieron en ella el triunfo de sus ideales, el desmoronamientodel imperio religioso sobre las conciencias del ser humano. Esta visión de la ciudad como espacio secular fue reproducido en las ciencias sociales porla clásica tesis de la secularización que pasaría a asociar irremediablemente declive religioso con urbanización.
La operación historiográfica a través de las representaciones del XXXII Congreso Eucarístico Internacional, Argentina, 1934
Authors: Delgado Susana 
Published: February 2023

En octubre de 1934 la Iglesia Católica organizó en Buenos Aires el XXXII Congreso Eucarístico Internacional, con la presencia de destacados prelados de todo el mundo y el Cardenal Pacelli, luego Pio XII, como delegado papal. A pocos días de concluido, dicha institución publicó un álbum fotográfico recordatorio del evento. Esas fotografías incluidas en ese soporte, constituyen las fuentes con las que trabajamos con la intención de problematizar la relación fotografía e historia, a partir del reconocimiento de las estrategias utilizadas por los sectores de poder para la construcción de sentido, a través de las imágenes. Entendemos que dicho álbum constituye una operación historiográfica –utilizando esta categoría propuesta por de Certeau- que plantea básicamente tres momentos: en primer término, un lugar social de enunciación, en segundo, un procedimiento de representación, y en tercero, un relato que construye y justifica autoridad. El lugar de enunciación refiere, en nuestro objeto de estudio, a la Iglesia Católica argentina, el segundo tiene que ver con los procedimientos fotográficos ligados a la sintaxis: encuadre, formato, tipo de plano, iluminación; mientras que el tercero, remite al relato, al discurso visual producido. Estas fotografías proyectan en el tiempo histórico un imaginario social que brilla como el umbral de ingreso a la nación católica, a partir de la transformación de la sociedad argentina.

Looking back on Pólya’s teaching of problem solving
Authors: Stacey Kaye 
Published: February 2023

This article is a personal reflection on Pólya's work on problem solving, supported by a re-reading of some of his books and viewing his film Let Us Teach Guessing. Pólya's work has had lasting impact on the goals of school mathematics, especially in establishing solving problems (including non-routine problems) as a major goal and in establishing the elements of how to teach for problem solving. His work demonstrated the importance of choosing rich problems for students to explore, equipping them with some heuristic strategies and metacognitive awareness of the problem solving process, and promoting 'looking back' as a way of learning from the problem solving experience. The ideas are all still influential. What has changed most is the nature of classrooms, with the subsequent appreciation of a supporting yet challenging classroom where students work collaboratively and play an active role in classroom discussion.

Realizing the problem-solving phases of Pólya in classroom practice
Authors: Ambrus András , Barczi-Veres Krisztina 
Published: February 2023

When teaching mathematical problem-solving is mentioned, the name of Pólya György inevitably comes to mind. Many problem-solving lessons are planned using Pólya's steps and helping questions, and teachers often rely on his heuristics even if their application happens unconsciously. In this article, we would like to examine how the two phases, Making a plan and Looking back, can be realized in a secondary school mathematics lesson. A case study was designed to observe and analyse a lesson delivered using cooperative work.

Thoughts on Pólya’s legacy
Authors: Schoenfeld Alan 
Published: February 2023

There is a saying, "the older I get, the smarter my parents become." What it means, of course, is that the more we learn, the more we appreciate the wisdom of our forebears. For me, that is certainly the case with regard to George Pólya.
There is no need to elaborate on Pólya's contributions to mathematics – he was one of the greats. See, for example, Gerald Alexanderson's (2000) edited volume The Random Walks of George Pólya, or Pólya's extended obituary (really, a53-page homage) in the November 1987 Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society (Chung et al., 1987). Pólya was one of the most important classical analysts of the 20th century, with his influence extending into number theory, geometry, probability and combinatorics.
