Abstract. The Aqua, SNPP (Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership), and JPSS (Joint Polar Satellite System) satellites carry a combination of hyperspectral infrared
sounders (AIRS, Atmospheric Infrared Sounder, and CrIS, Cross-track Infrared Sounder) and high-spatial-resolution narrowband imagers (MODIS, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, and VIIRS, Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite). They provide an opportunity to acquire high-quality, long-term cloud
data records and are a key component of the existing Program of Record of
cloud observations. By matching observations from sounders and imagers
across different platforms at the pixel scale, this study evaluates the
self-consistency and continuity of cloud retrievals from Aqua and SNPP by multiple
algorithms, including the AIRS version 7 retrieval algorithm and the
Community Long-term Infrared Microwave Combined Atmospheric Product System (CLIMCAPS) version 2 for sounders and the
standard Aqua MODIS collection 6.1 and the NASA MODIS–VIIRS continuity cloud
products for imagers. Metrics describing detailed statistical distributions
at the sounder field of view (FOV) and the joint histograms of cloud properties
are evaluated. These products are found to be highly consistent despite their
retrieval from different sensors using different algorithms. Differences
between the two sounder cloud products are mainly due to cloud clearing and
the treatment of clouds in scenes with unsuccessful atmospheric profile
retrievals. The sounder subpixel cloud heterogeneity evaluated using the
standard deviation of imager retrievals at the sounder FOV shows good agreement
between the standard and continuity products from different satellites.
However, the impact of algorithm and instrument differences between MODIS and
VIIRS is revealed in cloud top pressure retrievals and in the imager cloud
distribution skewness. Our study presents a unique aspect to examine NASA's
progress toward building a continuous cloud data record with sufficient
quality to investigate clouds' role in global environmental change.

Published: April 2022

Abstract. The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) is one the global biodiversity hotspots.
However, the diversity has been seriously threatened due to environmental
degradation and deforestation, especially by expansion of rubber
plantations. Yet, little is known about the impact of expansion of rubber
plantations on regional plant diversity as well as the drivers for plant
diversity of rubber plantations in this region. In this study, we analyzed
plant diversity patterns of rubber plantations in the GMS based on a ground
survey of a large number of samples. We found that diversity varied across
countries due to varying agricultural intensities. Laos had the highest
diversity, followed China, Myanmar, and Cambodia. Plant species richness of Laos
was about 1.5 times that of Vietnam. We uncovered latitudinal gradients in
plant diversity across these artificial forests of rubber plantations and
these gradients caused by environmental variables such as temperature.
Results of redundancy analysis (RDA), multiple regression, and random forest demonstrated
that latitude and temperature were the two most important drivers for the
composition and diversity of rubber plantations in the GMS. Meanwhile, we also
found that higher dominance of some exotic species (such as Chromolaena odorata and Mimosa pudica) was
associated with a loss of plant diversity within rubber plantations;
however, not all exotic plants cause the loss of plant diversity in rubber
plantations. In conclusion, not only environmental factors (temperature),
but also exotic species were the main factors affecting plant diversity of
these artificial stands. Much more effort should be made to balance
agricultural production with conservation goals in this region, particularly
to minimize the diversity loss in Vietnam and Cambodia.

Abstract. Developing accurate and efficient modeling techniques for streamflow at the tens-of-kilometers spatial scale and multi-year temporal scale is critical for evaluating and predicting the impact of climate- and human-induced discharge variations on river hydrodynamics. However, achieving such a goal is challenging because of limited surveys of streambed hydraulic roughness, uncertain boundary condition specifications, and high computational costs. We demonstrate that accurate and efficient three-dimensional (3-D) hydrodynamic modeling of natural rivers at 30 km and 5-year scales is feasible using the following three techniques within OpenFOAM, an open-source computational fluid dynamics platform: (1) generating a distributed hydraulic roughness field for the streambed by integrating water-stage observation data, a rough wall theory, and a local roughness optimization and adjustment strategy; (2) prescribing the boundary condition for the inflow and outflow by integrating precomputed results of a one-dimensional (1-D) hydraulic model with the 3-D model; and (3) reducing computational time using multiple parallel runs constrained by 1-D inflow and outflow boundary conditions. Streamflow modeling for a 30 km long reach in the Columbia River (CR) over 58 months can be achieved in less than 6 d using 1.1 million CPU hours. The mean error between the modeled and the observed water stages for our simulated CR reach ranges from −16 to 9 cm (equivalent to approximately ±7 % relative to the average water depth) at seven locations during most of the years between 2011 and 2019. We can reproduce the velocity distribution measured by the acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The correlation coefficients of the depth-averaged velocity between the model and ADCP measurements are in the range between 0.71 and 0.83 at 75 % of the survey cross sections. With the validated model, we further show that the relative importance of dynamic pressure versus hydrostatic pressure varies with discharge variations and topography heterogeneity. Given the model's high accuracy and computational efficiency, the model framework provides a generic approach to evaluate and predict the impacts of climate- and human-induced discharge variations on river hydrodynamics at tens-of-kilometers and decadal scales.

Abstract. Regional volcanic threat assessments provide a large-scale comparable vision of the threat posed by multiple volcanoes. They are useful for prioritising risk-mitigation actions and are required by local through international agencies, industries and governments to prioritise where further study and support could be focussed. Most regional volcanic threat studies have oversimplified volcanic hazards and their associated impacts by relying on concentric radii as proxies for hazard footprints and by focussing only on population exposure. We have developed and applied a new approach that quantifies and ranks exposure to multiple volcanic hazards for 40 high-threat volcanoes in Southeast Asia. For each of our 40 volcanoes, hazard spatial extent, and intensity where appropriate, was probabilistically modelled for four volcanic hazards across three eruption
scenarios, giving 697 080 individual hazard footprints plus 15 240 probabilistic hazard outputs. These outputs were overlain with open-access datasets across five exposure categories using an open-source Python geographic information system (GIS) framework developed for this study (https://github.com/vharg/VolcGIS, last access: 5 April 2022). All study outputs – more than 6500 GeoTIFF files and 70 independent estimates of exposure to volcanic hazards across 40 volcanoes – are provided in the “Data availability” section in user-friendly format. Calculated exposure values were used to rank each of the 40 volcanoes in terms of the threat they pose to surrounding communities. Results highlight that the island of Java in Indonesia has the highest median exposure to volcanic hazards, with Merapi consistently ranking as the highest-threat volcano. Hazard seasonality, as a result of varying wind conditions affecting tephra dispersal, leads to increased exposure values during the peak rainy season (January, February) in Java but the dry season (January through April) in the Philippines. A key aim of our study was to highlight volcanoes that may have been overlooked perhaps because they have not been frequently or recently active but that have the potential to affect large numbers of people and assets. It is not intended to replace official hazard and risk information provided by the individual country or volcano organisations. Rather, this study and the tools developed provide a road map for future multi-source regional volcanic exposure assessments with the possibility to extend the assessment to other geographic regions and/or towards impact and loss.
COVID-19 and shortened integrated clinical experiences: impacts on acute care confidence and interpersonal communication
Authors: Dickson Tara , Perez Erin , DeVahl Julie 
Published: April 2022

Purpose: Many doctor of physical therapy (DPT) programs limited student clinical experiences, including integrated clinical experiences (ICEs), in 2020 due to the restrictions of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, without knowing how the abbreviated clinical exposure would influence student perceptions of psychomotor and interpersonal communication skill development. The purpose of this study was to determine if fewer ICEs resulted in a difference in acute care confidence or interpersonal communication skills for DPT students.
Methods: Two cohorts of DPT students completed surveys aimed to measure acute care confidence (Acute Care Confidence Survey [ACCS]) and interpersonal communication skills (Interpersonal Communication Questionnaire [ICQ]) pre- and post- ICE. Students in one of the cohorts completed half of their second ICE experience because of unexpected curricular changes, effectively decreasing their ICEs by 25%. Data was analyzed using paired t-tests and two-way repeated measures ANOVAs.
Results: There was a significant interaction on ACCS and ICQ by time. Students gained an average of approximately 440 points on the ACCS and 4.9 points on the ICQ over the course of both ICEs. However, there was not a statistically significant difference between cohort and either acute care confidence or interpersonal communication.
Conclusion: Curricular changes resulting in fewer ICEs did not appear to significantly influence student confidence in the acute care environment or with interpersonal communication skills. Students gained self-confidence in acute care practice and improved communication skills when involved in hands-on ICEs. These improvements were not seen during portions of the curriculum that did not involve inpatient experiences.
dis/cord
Authors: Toksöz Fairbarn Kevin 
Published: April 2022

dis/cord is an experiment in reading sound. Embarking from Karen Barad’s early work on agential realism, it diffracts quantum physics through sound art, finding the sympathetic resonances that allow them to speak together. dis/cord believes in the materialism of sound, and strives not to understand it, but to become entangled with it. It asserts that impartial observation is impossible and understands immersion as a participatory and collaborative act. Sound art pieces provide the backdrop for a series of reflections on space, time, and matter. They trace the “marks on bodies” that sound leaves behind in its ephemeral vibration, finding new forms of sensation and interpretation through the pain and hearing loss that a life devoted to sound can cause.
Drifting between sound studies, artistic research, musicology, and craftsmanship, dis/cord uses agential realism as a platform to approach thinking with, through, and about sound. Following Barad’s commitment to diffraction as a form of critique, it superposes a variety of sounds and ideas in the hope that their consonances and dissonances can provoke new ways of engaging with sound as a cultural and material agent. It is neither an appeal to scientist positivism nor a mystical immersion in listening. Rather, it builds from the intertwined physical and metaphysical curiosities that characterize Barad’s work, proposing a corporeal engagement with the disjointed temporal and spacial (dis)continuities that sonic materialism helps to build, understand, and create.

Published: April 2022

Semen analysis is comprised of a set of descriptive measurements of spermatozoa and seminal fluid parameters that help to estimate semen quality and quantity. It provides useful information concerning sperm production, sperm morphology, sperm motility and viability. The analysis also involves determination of patency of the male genital tract, secretions of the accessory organs, as well as ejaculation and emission. The purpose for semen analysis is to determine the semen constituents (both macroscopically and microscopically), determine the semen analytic parameters of men from relatively the same region, and distinguish these acquired parameters of every male subject in this project with respect to those with the possibility of infertility. (not definitive measure of fertility), and use the study to improve the knowledge of individuals interested in or affected by any form of sperm abnormalities. This is to reduce the need for more complicated interventions for the female partner, and rule out significant medical problems that may be contributing to a poor semen analysis.

Published: April 2022

Thrombocyte concentrate (TC) transfusion plays an important role in preventing bleeding in patients with severe thrombocytopenia. Febrile non hemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) may occur after TC administration. IL-1ß and TNF-α cytokines released by thrombocytes and leucocytes during TC storage play important roles in the occurrence of FNHTR after TC transfusion. The purpose of this study was to analyze changes in levels of IL-1ß and TNF-α on the duration of TC storage. This was an observational analytical research with time series design carried out at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory and Blood Bank of the Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya in September - October 2019. IL-1ß and TNF -α levels in 20 bags of Thrombocyte Concentrate blood components derived from Platelet Rich Plasma during storage for day 1, day 3 and day 5 were measured using ELISA Sandwich method. The statistical analysis was performed using the Subject Same Variant Test or Friedman Test. The results showed no significant differences in the levels of IL-1ß and TNF-α based on the storage duration of TCs on day 1, 3 and 5, p = 0.262 and p = 0.534 respectively. There was a significant difference of IL-1ß levels between day 1 and day 3 (p=0.032).

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Cervical vertebrae owing to their small size and complex anatomy pose a serious challenge for instrumentation during surgery and increase the risk of injury to the adjacent neurovascular structures. The aim of the study is to evaluate the linear measurements of the body, pedicle and foramen transversarium of C1 to C7 vertebrae and to correlate the data clinically. Methods: 138 vertebrae of unknown sex and age were classified into individual cervical vertebrae and the linear dimensions of vertebral body, pedicle and foramen transversarium were measured using digital vernier caliper. Shape of foramen transversarium and presence of accessory foramen were noted. Descriptive statistics and t test were performed to assess the difference between the sides. Results: The transverse length and height of the vertebral body and width of the pedicle were increasing from C3 to C7 vertebrae. Pedicle width of C2 to C6 vertebrae was less than 5.0 mm. Medio-lateral diameter of foramen transversarium increased from C6 to C4 and then decreased from C4 to C1. Unilateral accessory foramen transversarium were observed frequently in C5 vertebra and more commonly on right side.

Published: April 2022

Our aim in this paper is to introduce new integral transform which we will call it “Battor – AlTememe” transform. This transform is useful for solving many types of differential equations (ordinary and partial) and we will introduce some definitions, concepts and identities. Integral transform is used to solve differential and integral equations. In 2008 [2], the researcher introduced AlTememe transform, which is given by the integral T(f(x))=∫_1^∞▒x^(-p) f(x)dx=F(p), For a function f(x) which is defined on an interval (1, ∞), x^(-p) is the kernel of this transform and p is positive constant such that the above integral is converge.

Published: April 2022

Communication skills may be defined as sharing views, emotions, feelings, etc. with others. Communicating abilities are among the general talents that are required of college learners. Participants would have been subjected to circumstances, both within and outdoors of the auditoriums, where they would have had to apply their communicating abilities, such as groups discussion and class performances, throughout their undergrad days. As a result, the purpose of this study is to look at the degree of communicative abilities amongst college graduates. A self-administered assessment was used to evaluate communicative abilities, which included 10 characteristics such as oral, written, and sociable conduct. The questionnaire's repeatability was high, with r > 0.08 for each subcomponent. According to the findings of this survey, undergraduate learners have developed strong communications abilities. The future of communication skills will be bright as schools and universities begin to educate their pupils.
