Herring fishery in the Bothnian Sea (southern Gulf of Bothnia) and the North Sea: similarities and differences
Creators: name: Parmanne, R.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 1998

description: In recent years, herring catches have increased in the Bothnian Sea (southern Gulf of Bothnia, northern Baltic). The assessment of a fish stock by virtual population analysis (VPA) is sensitive to the input values used, and thus the results include uncertainties. In this paper I examine, also independently of the results of the virtual population analysis, if there are signs of overfishing in the Bothnian Sea herring stock. The situation there is compared with that in the North Sea, where changes in the fishery leading to the collapse of the herring stock are well documented. Results from the Bothnian Sea show that changes in the herring catch composition, growth, maturity and larval abundance due to fishing have been minor. According to VPA and the other parameters measured, so far there are no obvious biological signs of the herring overfishing in the Bothnian Sea.

description: One of the new trends in the development of recommendation algorithms is the dissemination of their capabilities to support the population in managing their health. This article focuses on the problem of improving the effectiveness of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) prevention, since CVD is the leading cause of death worldwide. To address this issue, a knowledge-based recommendation algorithm was proposed to support self-management of CVD risk factors in adults at home. The proposed algorithm is based on the original multidimensional recommendation model and on a new user profile model, which includes predictive assessments of CVD health in addition to its current ones as outlined in official guidelines. The main feature of the proposed algorithm is the combination of rule-based logic with the capabilities of a large language model in generating human-like text for explanatory component of multidimensional recommendation. The verification and evaluation of the proposed algorithm showed the usefulness of the proposed recommendation algorithm for supporting adults in self-management of their CVD risk factors at home. As follows from the comparison with similar knowledge-based recommendation algorithms, the proposed algorithm evaluates a larger number of CVD risk factors and has a greater information and semantic capacity of the generated recommendations.

description: With the decline of the European eel, protection measures in all parts of the eel’s distribution area may be increasingly important. Norway has a vast coastline (58°–71°N), but the distribution of eel has been largely unknown. We analysed data from questionnaires on fish distribution, covering 30575 Norwegian lakes. Eels were recorded in 1773 lakes. The distribution was largely restricted to low altitude lakes in coastal areas (95% of the lakes with eels were situated below 295 m a.s.l., and within 87 kilometres from the sea). The occurrence of eels decreased towards the north, and only 5% of the lakes with eel were located north of 64.5°N. The northernmost lakes with eel were at 70.6°N, in the Barents Region. The degree to which man-made migration barriers restrict the distribution of the European eel in Norwegian freshwater should be further researched and data on the eel life history and densities are also largely missing.
Surface radiant and energy flux densities inferred from satellite data for the BALTEX watershed
Creators: name: Berger, F.H.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 2002

description: To study the energy and water cycle at different spatial and temporal scales, the satellite data analysis scheme SESAT (Strahlungs- und Energieflüsse aus SATellitendaten) has been developed for passive remotely sensed data, like NOAA-AVHRR, ERS-1/2 ATSR, Envisat AATSR and MSG SEVIRI data. SESAT consists of several modules to compute cloud properties (types as well as geometrical, optical and microphysical properties), land surface properties (radiometrical and bio-geophysical properties), surface radiant and energy flux densities. SESAT could be applied to different data sets, especially for the BALTEX watershed, to infer surface radiant flux densities and also, as a first estimation, surface energy flux densities with sufficient accuracy. Most of the parameters needed for this computation can be derived from meteorological satellite data. Comparisons of net radiation, inferred from satellite data and measured at the surface, do show sufficient accuracy, but for energy flux densities more observations at the ground will have to be carried out to quantify the achievable accuracy.
Designing Romance and the ‘Playersexuality’ Debate
Creators: name: Tomlinson, Christine
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Games and Social Impact
Year: 2024

description: Players of role-playing games have become increasingly interested in romantic narratives as part of the play experience. These romantic possibilities with preprogrammed in-game characters can be an exciting part of play, giving games more depth and allowing players to feel more connected to game content. This qualitative project applies content analysis to the Dragon Age videogame series and Baldur’s Gate 3 as well as online conversations among players of these games to investigate how players interpret, experience, and evaluate in-game romance. I find that players’ relationship to romance in video games is complex. Romance is often also built around the idea of player agency, aiming to fulfill fantasies and emphasize player choice over representing sexualities as part of characters’ identities. This has resulted in tensions as players seek out in-game romance, selecting in-game partners, exploring facets of identity, and often pursuing realistic stories when it comes to love. While some players appreciate playersexual models of in-game romance that make characters love them at the press of a button, the desire for realism – including the inclusion of characters with their own sexualities – often undercuts desires for control.

description: The data from five ADCP deployments with duration from one to several months in various locations of the Gulf of Finland were analyzed. The observations revealed that the shear maxima of current velocity were strongly linked to the pycnoclines — the seasonal thermocline or vertical salinity gradient. The shear maxima were not detected when the quasi-permanent halocline temporarily vanished in winter due to strong SW winds causing reversed estuarine circulation in the gulf. The kinetic energy spectra of currents revealed the energy maxima at a broad semi-diurnal frequency band, broad diurnal frequency band, and low-frequency seiches band. In the periods of strong wind forcing and weak stratification, the current oscillations coincided with different modes of seiches. During the periods of the two- or three-layer flow in summer, the inertial oscillations were dominating in the upper layer while seiches could be more prominent either in the upper layer or the halocline.

description: A statistical model of the variation of phosphate concentration in the upper layers of the Baltic proper was formed, with the aim of studying the magnitude of this variation and to be able to adjust corrupted time series. The large variation observed is only partially explained by seasonal variations and geographical structures. Despite inclusion of long-term trends and annual variations, the residuals showed a substantial correlation within and between the time series.
Effects of the reduction of cement plant pollution on the foliar and bark chemical composition of Scots pine

description: The impact of dust emissions from the cement plant of Kunda, north-eastern Estonia, was studied by analysing Scots pine needles and bark. Element concentrations of needles were measured by atomic absorption spectrometry. A scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive X-ray microanalyzer was used to study dust deposition on the surface of needles and bark. A thick cement dust layer covered plant surfaces, increasing the content of several elements of unwashed needles tenfold as compared with unpolluted sites. The distribution pattern of manganese was totally different to other elements, showing the highest concentrations at the remotest sample sites. Near the plant, pine needles suffered a serious deficiency of Mn. This was due to the unavailability of Mn caused by the alkalising of soil as an impact of dust pollutants. The renovation programme was aimed to reduce dust emissions by 97% over five years. Dust pollutants on pine needles and bark decreased remarkably. However, considerable dust deposition could be observed two years after the renovation. This was caused by the still continuing dust emissions (over 1000 tonnes y–1) and by re-emissions of very large dust masses formerly deposited. The results gave indirect evidence that the recovery of the soil was slow.

description: Frequently measured data from a boreal fen was used to test how regression models predict the spatial and temporal variations in methane emissions. In the spatial microscale, emissions were lowest from high hummocks with low water table and highest from the intermediately moist lawn with a high sedge cover. Seasonal variations were strong, but diurnal variations weak. The importance of episodic emissions increased from wet microsites to hummocks. The regression models explained the temporal pattern of methane emissions quite satisfactorily for flarks and low hummocks, but less satisfactorily for high hummocks. For independent data sets, the goodness of fit values were usually low. Episodic pulses and diurnal variations were not captured by the models and the models overestimated the spring emissions and underestimated midsummer high emissions.

description: We analyse and evaluate the sensitivity and robustness of an eccentric fiber Bragg grating sensor micro-structured into a polymer optical fiber under different relative humidity, temperature, strain and torsion conditions. Relative humidity and temperature conditions are established with a climate test chamber and prepared salt solutions. Though made of polymer, the cross-sensitivity of the sensor to relative humidity is low, enabling usage in rapidly changing environment applications, e.g., for movement detecting gloves or in vehicles, but also in high moisture situations. We find a linear dependence on temperature, so that either bending or temperature can be measured separately from each other. After rotation of one end, the sensor measures torsion by observing the light intensity and the change of the full width at half maximum. Strain measurement shows multiple elastic strain regions before final plastic deformations occur. In the next step, the flexible sensor system will be implemented in a sensor glove to monitor finger movement and detect different hand gestures.

Covariant approach to relativistic large-eddy simulations: Lagrangian filtering

description: We present a proof-of-principle implementation of the first fully covariant filtering scheme applied to relativistic fluid turbulence. The filtering is performed with respect to special observers, identified dynamically as moving with the "bulk of the flow". This means that filtering does not depend on foliations of spacetime but rather on the intrinsic fibration traced out by the observers. The covariance of the approach means that the results may be lifted into an arbitrary, curved spacetime. This practical step follows theoretical work showing that the residuals introduced by filtering a fine-scale ideal fluid can be represented by a non-ideal fluid prescription at the coarse scale. We interpret such non-ideal terms using a simple first-order gradient model, which allows us to extract effective turbulent viscosities and conductivity. A statistical regression on these terms shows that the majority of their variation may be explained by the thermodynamic properties of the filtered fluid and invariants of its flow, such as the shear and vorticity. This serves as a validation of the method and enables us to fit a functional, power-law form for the non-ideal coefficients -- an approach that may be used practically to give a sub-grid closure model in large-eddy simulations.

description: With ion mobility spectrometry increasingly used in mass spectrometry to enhance separation by increasing orthogonality, low ion throughput is a challenge for the drift-tube ion mobility experiment. The High Kinetic Energy Ion Mobility Spectrometer (HiKE-IMS) is no exception and routinely uses duty cycles of less than 0.1%. Multiplexing techniques such as Fourier transform and Hadamard transform represent two of the most common approaches used in the literature to improve ion throughput for the IMS experiment; these techniques promise increased duty cycles of up to 50% and an increased signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). With no instrument modifications required, we present the implementation of Hadamard Transform on the HiKE-IMS using a low cost, high-speed (600 MHz), open source microcontroller, a Teensy 4.1. Compared to signal average mode, 7- to 10-bit pseudorandom binary sequences resulted in increased analyte signal by over a factor of 3. However, the maximum SNR gain of 10 did not approach the theoretical Formula Presented gain largely due to capacitive coupling of the ion gate modulation with the Faraday plate used as a detector. Even when utilizing an inverse Hadamard technique, capacitive coupling was not completely eliminated. Regardless, the benefits of multiplexing IMS coupled to mass spectrometers are well documented throughout literature, and this first effort serves as a proof of concept for multiplexing HiKE-IMS. Finally, the highly flexible Teensy used in this effort can be used to multiplex other devices or can be used for Fourier transform instead of Hadamard transform.

description: Microwave signals, for example, those from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), are affected by tropospheric turbulence in such a way that the random fluctuations of the atmospheric index of refractivity correlate the phase measurements. A proper modeling of correlations is mandatory to avoid biased analysis, particularly when statistical tests are used. In this contribution, we analyze single differences (SD) computed from Global Positioning System (GPS) phase observations for which the between receiver clock error could be strongly mitigated by a specific common clock setting. We estimate specific parameters from the power spectral density (psd), which is directly related to the correlation function, with the debiased Whittle maximum likelihood and investigate their dependencies with the satellite geometry (elevation, azimuth angles) and the time of the day. We show that (i) the estimated slopes of the psd follow the one predicted by the Kolmogorov turbulence theory and (ii) the cut-off at high frequencies shows daily variations that may be linked with the strength of the turbulence. Based on these findings, we derive an improved spectral density model for GPS phase SD. The results of this study contribute to improving the stochastic description of random effects impacting VLBI and GNSS phase observations by studying variations of parameters from the von Karman spectrum.

description: Global warming impacts biogeochemical cycles in terrestrial ecosystems, but it is still unclear how the simultaneous cycling of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soils could be affected in the longer-term. Here, we evaluated how 14 years of soil warming (+4 °C) affected the soil C and N cycle across different soil depths and seasons in a temperate mountain forest. We used H218O incorporation into DNA and 15N isotope pool dilution techniques to determine gross rates of C and N transformation processes. Our data showed different warming effects on soil C and N cycling, and these were consistent across soil depths and seasons. Warming decreased microbial biomass C (−22%), but at the same time increased microbial biomass-specific growth (+25%) and respiration (+39%), the potential activity of β-glucosidase (+31%), and microbial turnover (+14%). Warming reduced gross rates of protein depolymerization (−19%), but stimulated gross N mineralization (+63%) and the potential activities of N-acetylglucosaminidase (+106%) and leucine-aminopeptidase (+46%), and had no impact on gross nitrification (+1%). Microbial C and N use efficiencies were both lower in the warming treatment (−15% and −17%, respectively). Overall, our results suggest that long-term warming drives soil microbes to incorporate less C and N into their biomass (and necromass), and to release more inorganic C and N to the environment, causing lower soil C and N storage in this forest, as indicated by lower soil C and total N contents. The decreases in microbial CUE and NUE were likely triggered by increasing microbial P constraints in warmed soils, limiting anabolic processes and microbial growth and promoting pervasive losses of C and N from the soil.

description: This study assesses the impacts of sustainable urban development adapted to climate change in the city of Stuttgart, Germany. We use the state-of-the-art meteorological modelling system PALM-4U to simulate the microclimate and outdoor thermal comfort of the development site Neckarpark during a heatwave. We compare the atmospheric conditions of the current urban structure before the development project (2018) and the future state, representing the new district after completion (2025). Our results indicate that the restructuring barely affects surrounding neighbourhoods, but leads to mean near-surface air temperature increases in the centre of development between [Formula presented] and [Formula presented]. Differences in Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) show a heterogeneous pattern at daytime, with a large amplitude and temporal variability in the diurnal cycle ([Formula presented]). At night, the planned buildings increase the mean PET by [Formula presented]. The new buildings reduce the effect of adaptation measures designed to increase the cooling effects, i.e. urban trees and vegetation, amplifying the thermal stress during heatwaves. Our study confirms the complex composite impacts of urban restructuring due to the thermal and dynamic flow processes. The paper may serve as a guide for the use of meteorological models to assess microclimatic impacts of planned development projects, contributing to urban planning and adaptation strategies.

description: A kriging interpolation of fish biomarker data was utilized as a novel tool to describe the ecotoxicological status of a lake polluted by pulp and paper mill effluents. Liver ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity, hematological and immunological biomarkers were studied in juvenile whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus L. s.l.) experimentally exposed for one month to effluents from three pulp and paper mills at southern Lake Saimaa. In comparison with the reference areas, liver EROD activitiy was 40%–80% higher in whitefish 3–6 km downstream of one of the mills. Liver EROD was positively correlated with the effluent tracers, lake-water sodium and conductivity. No remarkable differences between whitefish from mill and reference sites in their plasma immunoglobulin M, blood hematocrit, hemoglobin, glucose and lactate levels were observed. In this study, liver EROD activity in whitefish 3–6 km downstream of one of the mills in 1996 was 14%–15% of that recorded in 1991, i.e. before introduction of ECF bleaching and the activated sludge treatment of effluents at the mill in 1992. Our results are comparable with, and confirm the findings of a related caging experiment in 1995, indicating a decreased but still continued exposure of the fish to pulp mill effluent compounds.

description: Based on the Nature Conservation Act, the rare fen moss Hamatocaulis vernicosus (Bern Convention, EU habitat directive) is protected in more than 500 Natura 2000 territories of Europe. Knowledge on its ecology is required to ensure favourable conservation status, meanwhile data from specific regions is still insufficient. The aim of this study was to highlight habitat characteristics specific at the junction of boreal and continental biogeographical regions. The data of 63 study plots included cover and abundance of the plant species, water parameters (conductivity, pH, and concentrations of Ca2+, Fe3+, K+, Mg2+, NH4+, NO3-, and PO43-), topography type and microrelief form. The specific features both in terms of water parameters and vegetation were ascertained. The habitats showed wide variation and high amounts of electrical conductivity, calcium, iron and magnesium. Most associated species were Carex diandra, C. rostrata, Menyanthes trifoliata, and Calliergonella cuspidata. The highest restriction with the most frequent plant communities showed Marchantia polymorpha, Plagiomnium ellipticum, and Rumex acetosa. Thus, the study confirms the general trends known for the habitat preferences of H. vernicosus and highlights the regionally based characteristics related to both water physical-chemical parameters and vegetation. To ensure favourable status of H. vernicosus throughout Europe, conservation measures that consider the particular features of the regional habitats should be applied.

description: In this review article, the impact of dissolved water on the viscous properties of soda lime silicate melts is addressed against the background of the upcoming switch from natural gas to hydrogen combustion. This change will lead to an increase in the total water content of the glasses by up to 0.4 mol%. In order to better define possible influences of water speciation, water-rich glasses were synthesised under increasing pressure up to the kbar range. It is shown that a distinction must be made between the influence of dissolved OH-groups and H2O-molecules in order to accurately reflect the dependence of isokom temperatures on water content. In addition, an increase of one order of magnitude in the tolerance to higher deformation rates was observed for the range of expected increased water contents during isothermal deformation processes, which is based on the time-temperature superposition principle, i.e. congruent flow curves were determined under isokomal conditions.

description: The physical environment of urban public facilities is an important driver for public health and work efficiency. Unfortunately, citizens are exposed to negative physical environments because of inappropriate spatial forms in urban growth boundaries. This study aims to explore psychophysical drivers and their spatial distribution in campus city community life circles during the COVID-19 pandemic. Questionnaires and measuring equipment were used to gather psychophysical information in a 15 min campus city community life circle in Fuzhou, China. To this end, acoustic, light and thermal environments were used to map spatial distributions. We then explored relationships between spatial form and psychophysical parameters. The study results show that the distance to road (DTR), green area ratio (GR) and street width (SW) are all potential spatial drivers for psychophysical information. Furthermore, the acoustical, light and thermal environments provide interactions for the public understanding of the environment. These findings contribute to the understanding and evaluation of psychophysical drivers, spurring regional industry in community life circles and contributing to developing suitable plans and industrial distribution in urban areas.

description: In the present study, we investigated how sediment fluxes of dissolved silica (DSi) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) were affected by dissolved oxygen (DO) availability in bottom waters. Sediments from two sites in the Baltic proper were incubated under changing oxygen conditions. Our results show that when DO availability decreased from oxic to hypoxic level, the average DSi fluxes decreased significantly at the two sites from 2.12 ± 0.04 to 0.87 ± 0.18 and from 2.37 ± 0.09 to 1.91 ± 0.55 mmol Si m–2 d–1, respectively. Average DIP fluxes increased significantly at one site from 0.06 ± 0.01 to 0.14 ± 0.02 mmol P m–2 d–1, but not at the other (from 0.06 ± 0.01 to 0.07 ± 0.01 mmol P m–2 d–1). These results indicate that a change from highly oxic to hypoxic conditions in bottom waters may decrease DSi fluxes and increase DIP fluxes. However, sediment characteristics can lead to spatial differences in the response of DSi and DIP fluxes to oxygen availability.

description: This study analyses the departure of the velocity-variances profiles from their quasi-steady state described by the mixed-layer similarity, using large-eddy simulations with different prescribed shapes and time scales of the surface kinematic heat flux decay. Within the descriptive frames where the time is tracked solely by the forcing time scale (either constant or time-dependent) describing the surface heat flux decay, we find that the normalized velocity-variances profiles from different runs do not collapse while they depart from mixed-layer similarity. As the mixed-layer similarity relies on the assumption that the free-convective boundary layer is in a quasi-equilibrium, we consider the ratios of the forcing time scales to the convective eddy-turnover time scale. We find that the normalized velocity-variances profiles collapse in the only case where the ratio (r~) of the time-dependent forcing time scale to the convective eddy-turnover time scale is used for tracking the time, supporting the independence of the departure from the characteristics of the surface heat flux decay. As a consequence of this result, the knowledge of r~ is sufficient to predict the departure of the velocity variances from their quasi-steady state, irrespective of the shape of the surface heat flux decay. This study highlights the importance of considering both the time-dependent forcing time scale and the convective eddy-turnover time scale for evaluating the response of the free-convective boundary layer to the surface heat flux decay.
Sampling methods for pasture, soil and deposition for radioactivity emergency preparedness in the Nordic countries
Creators: name: Isaksson, M.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 2002

description: The aim of this work was to compare sampling techniques for pasture, soil and deposition, planned for radioactivity surveillance in emergency situations in the Nordic countries. The basis of the survey was a questionnaire, sent to radiation protection authorities and laboratories. Sampling of pasture is performed with a cutting height between 1 and 5 cm above the ground from an area of about 1 m2. The sampling plots are usually randomly positioned. Soil samples, 3 to 20 cores in various patterns, are generally taken by a corer of varying diameter. For deposition sampling, precipitation collectors of different sizes are used. When comparing results, the differences between laboratories should be borne in mind so that proper corrections can be made. It is, however, important to consider that, especially in an emergency situation, the use of standardised methods may worsen the results if these methods are not part of the daily work.

Year: 2003

description: The quality of simulation results depends on the model structure and its parameterisation. The aim of this study was to find the best available models for herbicide fate simulation for Finnish conditions. Subjective model selection criteria were developed for the simulation domain: pesticide fate in Finnish sugar beet cultivation. An inventory was made of available models and a number of different pesticide and solute transport models were identified. Thirteen one-dimensional deterministic models (CRACK-NP, EPIC, GLEAMS, LEACHP, MACRO, OPUS, PELMO, PEARL, PESTLA, PLM, PRZM, RZWQM and SIMULAT) were compared and evaluated for their characteristics. The comparison showed that none of these models fulfilled all of the desired criteria. Finally, MACRO 4.1 and GLEAMS 3.0 were selected for herbicide fate simulations. The other high regarded models were RZWQM, PEARL and PELMO.

description: An Ott-Antonsen reduced $M$-population of Kuramoto-Sakaguchi oscillators is investigated, focusing on the influence of the phase-lag parameter $α$ on the collective dynamics. For oscillator populations coupled on a ring, we obtained a wide variety of spatiotemporal patterns, including coherent states, traveling waves, partially synchronized states, modulated states, and incoherent states. Back-and-forth transitions between these states are found, which suggest metastability. Linear stability analysis reveals the stable regions of coherent states with different winding numbers $q$. Within certain $α$ ranges, the system settles into stable traveling wave solutions despite the coherent states also being linearly stable. For around $α\approx 0.46π$, the system displays the most frequent metastable transitions between coherent states and partially synchronized states, while for $α$ closer to $π/2$, metastable transitions arise between partially synchronized states and modulated states. This model captures metastable dynamics akin to brain activity, offering insights into the synchronization of brain networks.
