Published: June 2023

Purpose:
There is a lack of research examining the effects of Muslim prayer (Salat) positions on the intra-ocular pressure (IOP). Considering its involvement with postural changes, this study aimed to investigate the changes in the IOP upon assuming Salat positions before, immediately after, and after 2 minutes of prayer in healthy young adults.

Methods:
This prospective, observational study recruited healthy young individuals aged between 18 and 30 years. The IOP measurements were obtained in one eye using Auto Kerato-Refracto-Tonometer TRK-1P, Topcon at baseline before assuming prayer positions, immediately after, and after 2 minutes of the prayer.

Results:
Forty female participants were recruited, with a mean age of 21 ± 2.9 years, a mean weight of 59.7 ± 14.8 (kg), and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 23.8 ± 5.7 (kg/m²). Only 16% had a BMI ≥25 kg/m² (n = 15). All participants started with a mean IOP at baseline of 19.35 ± 1.65 mmHg, which increased to 20 ± 2.38 mmHg and declined to 19.85 ± 2.67 mmHg after 2 minutes of Salat. The difference between the mean IOPs at baseline, immediately after, and after 2 minutes of Salat was not significant (p = 0.06). However, there was a significant difference between the baseline IOP measurements and those immediately after Salat (p = 0.02).

Conclusion:
A significant difference was found between the IOP measurements at baseline and immediately after Salat; however, this was not clinically significant. Further investigation is warranted to confirm these findings and explore the effect of a longer duration of Salat in glaucoma and glaucoma suspect patients.
Expanded Perspectives on Social Transformation in Brazil
Authors: Sampaio Michelle 
Published: June 2023

This commentary presents a broader perspective on the paper Psychopolitical foresensing for social transformation (PFST): theoretical reflections for action research in Brazil towards the SDGs. It is generally accepted that the current path of capitalism is accelerating the planetary climate crisis and social inequality and is bringing an individual and collective feeling of frustration.Cimini and Homem’s brings in their paper a proposal in tackle this frustration feeling through advancing the theory of change (ToC) concept by creating a framework for an action research project based on awareness-based systems change (ABSC). I highlight three relevant contexts to Brazil to be considered in their action research project: i. Decolonization and good living: concepts in Brazil’s current transformation mindset; ii. Nature-based solutions: the value of socio-biocultural diversity in Brazil; and iii. Practical experience on building a participatory ToC for the Amazon. Cimini and Homem’s proposed journey on PFST aiming to expand on ToCs approach by adding ABSC methodologies using presence-sense-reconnection, seems to be a path to integrate inner and out change with social and cultural transformation. They have a great opportunity, combined with a challenge, to plant a seed in leaders and changemakers in expanding their views of how impact can be generated. They can be bold in the PFST journey by enhancing awareness and actions, going beyond the SDGs, and bringing light to Brazil’s position as a global leader in nature-based solutions to face climate change.

Rejuvenation is the replacement of new unproductive plant with new plants that are more productive and profitable. In the cultivation of oil palm there are several alternative models of rejuvenation that can be applied including conventional rejuvenation, underplanting rejuvenation and conventional rejuvenation with intercropping. This research was conducted in the Rambutan PTP. Nusantara III (Company). The time of the study was carried out in February to July 2019. This research was conducted using descriptive analysis method, namely by collecting primary data and secondary data. Primary data, each data for conventional rejuvenation and underplanting model that is. Morfological observation (midrib) and secondary data. Each data for conventional rejuvenation and underplanting model viz, insert (2017, 2018, 2019) and interest and Fruit Calculation Data. The results showed that conventional rejuvenation techniques at the time before planting carried out include several stages including the felling of old plants and tillage until the area was ready for replanting so as to reduce the level of pest infestation and provide ideal soil for plant growth in the field. Mean wile for underplanting planting system places the insertion height ths hetat occurs in underplanting planting system which replace the disruption of young plant growth after the undisciplined implementation of underplanting technique. Poisoning of old plants is late and results in late mutation from TBM to TM ieless interest and fruit in the underplanting technique.

Social norms are a promising factor for pandemic control, as they motivate people to engage in preventive behaviours. However, little is known about the influence of perceived social norms on the intention to get vaccinated against Covid-19 and the role of communication in shaping such normative perceptions. Moreover, despite the pandemic’s global scale, a cross-cultural perspective is scant in research on Covid-19 preventive behaviour. The present study examined the relationships between communication (i.e., attention to mass media and social media), social norms (i.e., perceived norms in the population and personal environment), and people’s intention to get vaccinated against Covid-19 using a cross-national survey in Singapore (N = 998) and Switzerland (N = 1,022). Multigroup structural equation modelling revealed that attention to mass media was positively correlated with perceived norms in both countries, whereas attention to social media was correlated with normative perceptions only in Singapore. Normative perceptions regarding the population and personal environment were positively correlated with vaccination intention in Singapore. However, in Switzerland, only perceived norms in the personal environment were positively related to vaccination intention. The results are discussed against the background of both countries’ media systems and cultural values (i.e., individualism/collectivism) and are instructive for norms-based interventions in times of crises.

Objective: To determine the factors for hesitancy and uptake of coronavirus disease-2019 vaccine, and to compare perinatal outcomes in vaccinated and nonvaccinated pregnant women.
Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2021 to February 2022 at the Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital, Karachi, and the Holy Family Hospital, Karachi, and comprised pregnant women admitted in delivery suite for operative or vaginal delivery. Data was collected using a self-designed questionnaire which also explored knowledge about vaccine, contextual factors and reasons for and against vaccination. Perinatal outcomes included stillbirth, preterm delivery, low birth weight and Appearance-Pulse-Grimace-Activity-Respiration score. Also, 3cc blood was collected from the umbilical cord at the time of delivery, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique was used for antibodies titre. Data was analysed using SPSS 24.
Results: Of the 186 women, 114(61.3%) with mean age 27.9±4.1 years were vaccinated, and 72(38.7%) with mean age 27.5±5.2 years were not vaccinated. Physician’s advise 104 (91.2%), vaccine safety and its effect on foetus 52(72.2%) were main determinants for vaccine uptake and refusal, repectively. Family and peer pressure was also responsible in 19(26.4%) cases for vaccine refusal. Body mass index, parity, level of education, socioeconomic status, history of coronavirus disease-2019 infection, booking status and presence of gestational diabetes mellitus were significantly different between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups (p<0.05). Antibody titers and Appearance-Pulse-Grimace-Activity-Respiration score at 1 minute were significantly higher in the group of vaccinated women (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Vaccine uptake was found to be low. Safety concern against vaccine, and doctor’s advice were the main determinants for hesitancy and uptake. Antibody titers in newborns were higher in the group of vaccinated women.
Key Words: COVID-19 infection, Pregnancy, Vaccine, Antibody titers.

Riau Province has a large potential for sago (Metroxylon sp). This is indicated by an area of ​​84,780 hectares and a production of 260,658 tons/year (Riau Plantation Office, 2020). The use of sago starch is still limited as a staple food for certain communities. Sago with a high nutritional content of carbohydrates equivalent to rice is an all-around plant, which means a plant that has many benefits. Besides sago can reducing dependence on imported flour, rice imports are also used as food ingredients that are processed into various forms of processed food, as well as non-food ingredients. such as renewable energy sources, namely bioethanol and pharmaceutical industry materials. Sago waste also provides many benefits, such as bark as flooring for houses, roads, and firewood, midrib as roofs, and pith pulp as animal feed, adhesives, charcoal briquettes, board particles, and composting materials. Optimizing the utilization of sago potential if it can be applied through food diversification efforts will open up economic activities and support food security in Riau Province.

Provinsi Riau memiliki potensi sagu (Metroxylon sp) yang cukup besar. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh luas area seluas 84.780 Ha dan produksi sebesar 260.658 ton/tahun (Dinas Perkebunan Provinsi Riau, 2020). Pemanfaatan pati sagu masih terbatas sebagai pangan pokok masyarakat tertentu. Sagu dengan kandungan gizi tinggi karbohidrat setara beras tersebut merupakan tumbuhan serba gatra yang artinya tumbuhan yang mempunyai banyak manfaat. Selain sagu dapat mengurangi ketergantungan terhadap impor terigu, impor beras juga sebagai bahan pangan yang diolah menjadi berbagai bentuk olahan pangan, serta juga sebagai bahan non pangan seperti sumber energi terbarukan, yaitu bioetanol dan bahan industri farmasi. Limbah sagu juga memberikan banyak manfaat, seperti kulit batang sebagai lantai rumah, jalan dan kayu bakar, pelepah sebagai atap rumah, dan ampas empulur sebagai pakan ternak, bahan perekat, brikat arang, papan partikel dan bahan pembuat kompos. Optimalisasi potensi sagu ini bila dapat diterapkan melalui upaya penganekaragaman pangan yang akan membuka kegiatan ekonomi dan mendukung ketahanan pangan di Provinsi Riau.

Prispevek želi predstaviti ozadje nastanka Nemško avstrijskega planinskega društva (Deutscher und oesterreichischer Alpenverein- DuOeAV) ter na kratko tudi njegov ustroj. S podružnicami je združenje ne le pokrilo velik del današnjega evropskega prostora, s podružnicama v Angliji in Egiptu ga je tudi močno preseglo. Priključitev Avstrije k Nemčiji je povzročilo preimenovanje društva v Nemško planinsko društvo (Deutscher Alpenverein), kar je pomenilo začetek njegovega konca in dokončen prelom v njegovem ustroji in usmeritvi. Društvo, ki je nastalo iz želje, da bi vpeti svet širšega alpskega prostora čimbolj približalo ljudem, je namreč vsaj do prve svetovne vojne na prvo mesto postavljalo alpsko stvar. Politična stvarnost prostora njegovega delovanja pa ga v tem oziru seveda ni mogla pustiti nedotaknjenega.

Published: June 2023

Abstract. This paper describes a new global dataset of cloud properties observed by MODIS relying on the current (collection 6.1) processing of MODIS data and produced to facilitate comparison with results from the MODIS observational proxy used in climate models. The dataset merges observations from the two MODIS instruments into a single netCDF file. Statistics (mean, standard deviation, and number of observations) are accumulated over daily and monthly timescales on an equal-angle grid for viewing and illumination geometry, cloud detection, cloud-top pressure, and cloud properties (optical thickness, effective particle size, and water path) partitioned by thermodynamic phase and an assessment as to whether the underlying observations come from fully or partly cloudy pixels. Similarly partitioned joint histograms are available for (1) optical thickness and cloud-top pressure, (2) optical thickness and particle size, and (3) cloud water path and particle size. Differences with standard data products, caveats for data use, and guidelines for comparison to the MODIS simulator are described. Data are available on daily (https://doi.org/10.5067/MODIS/MCD06COSP_D3_MODIS.062; NASA, 2022b) and monthly (https://doi.org/10.5067/MODIS/MCD06COSP_M3_MODIS.062; NASA, 2022a) timescales.
Adding sea ice effects to a global operational model (NEMO v3.6) for forecasting total water level: approach and impact
Authors: Wang Pengcheng , Bernier Natacha B. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract. In operational flood forecast systems, the effect of sea ice is typically neglected or parameterized solely in terms of ice concentration. In this study, an efficient way of adding ice effects to the global total water level prediction systems, via the ice–ocean stress, is described and evaluated. The approach features a novel, consistent representation of the tidal relative ice–ocean velocities, based on a transfer function derived from ice and ocean tidal ellipses given by an external ice–ocean model. The approach and its impact are demonstrated over four ice seasons in the Northern Hemisphere, using in situ observations and model predictions. We show that adding ice effects helps the model reproduce most of the observed seasonal modulations in tides (up to 40 % in amplitude and 50∘ in phase for M2) in the Arctic and Hudson Bay. The dominant driving mechanism for the seasonal modulations is shown to be the under-ice friction, acting in areas of shallow water (less than 100 m) and its accompanied large shifts in the amphidromes (up to 125 km). Important contributions from baroclinicity and tide–surge interaction due to ice–ocean stress are also found in the Arctic. Both mechanisms generally reinforce the seasonal modulations induced by the under-ice friction. In forecast systems that neglect or rely on simple ice concentration parameterizations, storm surges tend to be overestimated. With the inclusion of ice–ocean stress, surfaces stresses are significantly reduced (up to 100 % in landfast ice areas). Over the four ice seasons covered by this study, corrections up to 1.0 m to the overestimation of surges are achieved. Remaining limitations regarding the overestimated amphidrome shifts and insufficient ice break-up during large storms are discussed. Finally, the anticipated trend of increasing risk of coastal flooding in the Arctic, associated with decreasing ice and its profound impact on tides and storm surges, is briefly discussed.

Implementation of the Parareal and PFASST Algorithms in Nektar++Parallel-in-time algorithms are more and more recognized as a promising solution to increase computational concurrency after the maximum speed-up has been achieved from spatial parallelism due to communication overhead when the problem size per processor has become too small in distributed memory high-performance computing architecture. Two popular time-parallel approaches are the Parareal algorithm, first introduced by Lions et al. (2001), and the Parallel Full Approximation Scheme in Space and Time (PFASST) technique of Emmett and Minion (2012). Both methods are based on the use of multi-level time-integration, exploiting a fine and a coarse time integrators in combination with an iterative procedure to achieve parallelism in time. The implementation of these two parallel-in-time algorithms in the Nektar++ spectral/hp element framework is described. The extension of the MPI topology to allow concurrency in time is first presented. Following, the implementation of new drivers for the Parareal and PFASST algorithms is described. Finally, application examples for the 1D advection and the 2D diffusion equations are demonstrated.Is the grass greener on the other side? Adventures with the least-squares finite element methodThe least-squares finite element method (LSFEM) emerged as an alternative to classical Galerkin FEM around 30 years ago. Since then, it has successfully found applications in many fields of computational physics, including fluid dynamics. The method possesses some desirable properties – it always leads to symmetric, positive-definite algebraic systems (even for non-self-adjoint operators), it does not necessitate the fulfillment of compatibility (LBB) conditions, and it is generally more stable than its classical counterpart. Conversely, it requires recasting equations to the first order (introducing additional degrees of freedom) and involves a more computationally expensive assembly procedure. This talk will attempt to evaluate whether the benefits of LSFEM outweigh its drawbacks and offer a practical perspective on how it can be employed to efficiently solve incompressible flow problems. We will show an alternative equation splitting scheme, which, in conjunction with LSFEM, leads to an enhanced convergence rate. Finally, we will discuss computational aspects of the method using the author’s high-order code L3STER as a point of reference. In particular, we will show how to structure assembly so that it fully utilizes CPU caches, and how hybrid parallelism can be leveraged for improved scalability.
