description: Climate change and environmental degradation remain the most complex challenges that present and future generations of humankind face and raise several security risks that have received relatively little attention in the literature. This paper aims to review the evidence of security risks arising from these challenges in the Global South and to provide forward-looking perspectives on how to increase the resilience of affected individuals and communities. We see diverse land use strategies as a key element to drive a transformation towards greater sustainability and resilience. We propose that rural land use in the Global South should be geared towards the promotion of resource and biodiversity conservation, the development of agroforestry, tree-based farming systems, the diversification of crops, and the utilization of climate-resilient cultivars, and neglected and under-utilized plants. These actions would contribute to addressing the security risks stemming from the interconnected challenges of climate change and environmental degradation.

description: Stormwater in Finland typically lacks substantial treatment despite potentially containing elevated concentrations of nutrients and trace metals that can degrade the water quality of receiving waterbodies. Reactive materials, such as biochar, have been effective in removing pollutants from stormwater. However, knowledge of their performance is primarily based upon laboratory tests as field studies remain scarce and there is little evidence on their long-term field performance. This study evaluated field-scale stormwater pollutant retention by sand and biochar-amended sand filtration systems designed to treat road runoff containing metals and nutrients in southern Finland. Results of field data, and hydrological and geochemical modelling suggest that the filters retain pollutants similarly through a combination of physical filtration, (ad)sorption and/or (co)precipitation additionally affected by leaching of alkali metal cations from biochar media which contributed to the formation of new minerals via PO43- sorption to Fe (oxy)hydroxides or precipitation of Ca phosphate mineral phases (hydroxyapatite).

description: The paper presents the first retrievals of clean snow properties using spaceborne hyperspectral observations via the Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP). The location close to the Concordia station at the Dome C Plateau (Antarctica) was selected. At this location, the atmospheric effects (except molecular light scattering and absorption) are weak, and the simplified atmospheric correction scheme could be applied. The ice grain size, snow specific surface area, and snow spectral and broadband albedos were retrieved using single-view EnMAP measurements. In addition, we propose a technique to retrieve trace gas concentrations (e.g., water vapor and ozone) from EnMAP observations over the snow surfaces. A close correspondence of satellite and ground-measured parameters was found.

description: Cancer cachexia is a severe systemic wasting disease that negatively affects quality of life and survival in patients with cancer. To date, treating cancer cachexia is still a major unmet clinical need. We recently discovered the destabilization of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) complex in adipose tissue as a key event in cachexia-related adipose tissue dysfunction and developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based approach to prevent AMPK degradation and prolong cachexia-free survival. Here, we show the development and optimization of a prototypic peptide, Pen-X-ACIP, where the AMPK-stabilizing peptide ACIP is fused to the cell-penetrating peptide moiety penetratin via a propargylic glycine linker to enable late-stage functionalization using click chemistry. Pen-X-ACIP was efficiently taken up by adipocytes, inhibited lipolysis, and restored AMPK signaling. Tissue uptake assays showed a favorable uptake profile into adipose tissue upon intraperitoneal injection. Systemic delivery of Pen-X-ACIP into tumor-bearing animals prevented the progression of cancer cachexia without affecting tumor growth and preserved body weight and adipose tissue mass with no discernable side effects in other peripheral organs, thereby achieving proof of concept. As Pen-X-ACIP also exerted its anti-lipolytic activity in human adipocytes, it now provides a promising platform for further (pre)clinical development toward a novel, first-in-class approach against cancer cachexia.

description: Atmospheric circulation is important in affecting surface climate and ecosystems. In this study, we compared the impact of north-atlantic and regional atmospheric circulation, as represented by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index and a set of regional circulation indices, on ice phenology of 50 Scandinavian lakes. Both ice freeze and ice break-up dates were coherent over the whole region and were significantly correlated with both types of circulation indices. Correlations were especially strong for regional circulation indices. The application of regional indices, here for the first time related with ice data over a large area, allowed the determination of the type (i.e. meridional/zonal wind and cyclonic/anticyclonic conditions) of atmospheric circulation influencing the ice phenology. The results suggest that regional circulation indices are very useful tools, in addition to global circulation, to improve the understanding of the interaction between ecosystem processes and climate.

description: Constituting a leading source of disability and suicidality, the conundrum of mental diseases has been growing to become one of the staggering challenges the world is facing today. Unfortunately, psychiatry has not kept pace with the evolution the other medical disciplines have seen recently, a problem primarily stemming from the traditional mental health diagnostic classification systems—the DSM and ICD. With low reliability, proven with biological research evidence, these symptoms-based diagnostic criteria have been adversely affecting the research and clinical psychiatry. The calls to redefine psychiatric nosology have been responded to with different efforts. For instance, the NIMH RDoC project was envisioned to be a step to organize the psychological research community around a DSM-free template, with a long-term goal of the application in clinical settings. However, the first ten years of this initiative did not witness the impact initially anticipated. While the alluring possibility of understanding mental illnesses has motivated some researchers to employ the emerging technology of machine learning in their investigations, the majority of these studies were designed based on the heterogeneous DSM diagnostic entities as the gold standard—which affected the reliability of their results. Contrarily, this proposed research follows a recent promising direction that employs the bottom-up approach starting from biological measures to re-stratify psychological disorders. Although the previous efforts in this avenue were primarily utilizing brain-based biomarkers, this study aims at demonstrating the feasibility of using the autonomic physiological measures to reclassify psychiatric conditions—specifically, psychosis. This hypothesis is based on the autonomic dysfunction of schizophrenic patients demonstrated by several authors, with some works indicating a continuous change in the physiological measures in correlation with the severity of the disease. A novel wearable platform will be developed in this investigation and used for collecting the data required to design and evaluate the machine learning models throughout the study.

description: Large amplitude vibrations can cause hazards and failure to engineering structures. Active control has been an effective strategy to suppress vibrations, but it faces great challenges in the real-time control of nonlinear flexible structures. Here, we present a control design framework using reductions on aperiodic spectral submanifolds (SSMs) to address the challenges. We formulate high-dimensional nonlinear optimal control problems to suppress the vibrations and then use the SSM-based reductions to transform the original optimal control problems into low-dimensional linear optimal control problems. We further establish extended linear quadratic regulators to solve the reduced optimal control problems, paving the road for real-time active control of nonlinear flexible structures. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our control design framework via a suite of examples with increasing complexity, including a finite element model of an aircraft wing with more than 130,000 degrees of freedom.

description: We study the Schrödinger equation in quantum field theory (QFT) in its functional formulation. In this approach quantum correlation functions can be expressed as classical expectation values over (complex) stochastic processes. We obtain a stochastic representation of the Schrödinger time evolution on Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) states by means of the Wiener integral. We discuss QFT in a flat expanding metric and in de Sitter space-time. We calculate the evolution kernel in an expanding flat metric in the real time formulation. We discuss a field interaction in pseudoRiemannian and Riemannian metrics showing that an inversion of the signature leads to some substantial simplifications of the singularity problems in QFT.

Nutrient exchange across the sediment–water interface in the eastern Gulf of Finland
Creators: name: Ignatieva, N.V.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 1999

description: Benthic nutrient fluxes (sedimentation, degradation and burial within the sediment, and release to the water column) were estimated for a series of stations in the Neva Bay and different areas of the eastern Gulf of Finland (GOF). It was shown, that the Gulf sediments act as an efficient trap for both nutrients: 20%–50% of P and 40%–65% of N in the Neva estuary and in the open Gulf, and up to 100% in the Neva Bay are buried within the accumulating sediment. The rest is released to the overlying water. Minor portion of dissolved nutrients is released by molecular diffusion from the deep sediment layers. The diffusion from immediate sediment-water interface and convective transport seem to be of greater importance in nutrient release. The variations in the intensity of benthic processes of nutrient sedimentation, adsorption, minerals formation, nitrification, denitrification and convective transport from the sediments in the sub-areas of the Gulf are generally determined by the chemical composition and amount of sedimenting material, in combination with bottom dynamics. Benthic nutrient flux to the overlying water could supply generally a small fraction of estimated phytoplankton nutrient demand (0%–10% of P and 1%–5% of N).

description: Simultaneous analyses of water quality parameters, and the composition of phytoplankton, crustacean and rotifer assemblages were done at two sampling areas in Lake Ladoga: the Sortavala Archipelago (August 1994 and 1995) and the Bay of Volkhov (August 1994). The samples were taken at stations located at different distances from the main nutrient-loading points in both areas. The plankton communities in the two study areas differed due to differing hydrological conditions and also with respect to the waste water influence. The effect of nutrient loading on the plankton community is evident along the Bay of Sortavala. However, wind-induced currents from the pelagic zone to the bay also affect the structure of the plankton community. In the Bay of Volkhov, high discharge and turbidity as well as the waste waters appear to decrease phyto- and zooplankton biomasses in comparison to those in the Bay of Sortavala.

description: In a four-month comparison of hourly littoral water temperatures in four small boreal lakes, recent shoreline deforestation was associated with an altered temperature regime at only one lake, on a southern shoreline. There, daytime hourly median water temperatures were increased by 0.3deg.C, with frequent increases of 0.5deg.C and occasional increases of up to 1.2deg.C, relative to a nearby forested shoreline; nighttime temperatures were reduced by about 0.2deg.C. Over about three months, the littoral zone of the deforested southern shoreline accumulated only about one-half of a degree day more than the forested shoreline. Time-series analyses of hourly climate data and water temperature patterns from two nearby undisturbed lakes suggest that hourly littoral water temperature patterns were primarily associated with hourly patterns of solar energy, while day-to-day water temperature patterns were associated only with air temperature. Where riparian deforestation significantly reduces littoral shading, the main effect on littoral water temperatures is likely to be an increase in diurnal temperature fluctuation. Daily average water temperatures are strongly associated with regional air temperature, and are not likely to be affected significantly by localized riparian deforestation.

description: Seasonal changes in dry weight based Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Ni and Zn concentrations were measured in the soft tissue of freshwater mussels Anodonta anatina and Pseudanodonta complanata. The animals were collected from uncontaminated Lake Höytiäinen, and from three areas of central Lake Saimaa, with varying anthropogenic impact. In addition, two transplantation experiments with A. anatina were carried out in Lake Saimaa. Heavy metal levels in the mussel soft tissue were low. Statistically significant seasonal fluctuation was found in the concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, and Ni in A. anatina. The apparent increase in Cd, Cr, Hg and Ni concentration in July was probably related to spawning. The two species differed in metal levels at different stages of their seasonal cycle. The effect of sex, size and sediment contact on trace metal concentrations was negligible for mussels of 60–80 mm shell length. Higher levels of Fe and Zn were, in general, found in P. complanata. Transplanted mussels did not have the same metal concentrations as natural populations but the order of metal levels in different areas in central Lake Saimaa was similar to native mussels. Therefore transplanted A. anatina can be used to indicate areas of differing metal bioavailability. Use of male mussels and sampling in autumn can be recommended.

We investigate the validity range of our techniques within simple cosmological models.

description: There are multiple ways to approach Artificial Intelligence in relation to human or "natural" intelligence. At the center, the core aspect of behaviour characterizes the level of efficiency and adaptiveness to the environment, or how "intelligent" this behaviour looks like, regardless if it refers to human, animal or machine.In this lecture, concepts of AI and Machine Learning (ML) are investigated in the context of Control Theory, i.e., designing automatic control for various tasks. The classic PID controllers are just a small family of design options for linear systems, while in Signal Processing the analogous approaches usually evolve around linear models like ARMA and ARIMA, or equivalent designs in the frequency domain. However, in real-world applications the "linearization" option is valid only for short time frames and/or high-order approximate linear models. AI and ML provide the means to extend these tools towards robust, adaptive designs for reactive and predictive control systems, which are ubiquitus today in the car industry, industrial processes, civil aviation, space technologies, etc.

description: Plasma is capable of mediating the conversion of two pump photons into two different photons through a relativistic four-wave mixing nonlinearity. Spontaneously created photon pairs are emitted at symmetric angles with respect to the colinear pump direction, and the emission rate is largest if they have identical frequency. Thus, two orthogonally polarized pumps can produce polarization-entangled photon pairs through a mm-long homogeneous plasma. The noise from Raman scattering can be avoided if the pump detuning differs from twice the plasma frequency. On the other hand, pump detuning exactly equal to twice the plasma frequency can significantly enhance the interaction rate, which allows for the production of strong two-mode squeezed states. Remarkably, the amplified noise from Raman scattering are correlated and hence can be suppressed in one of the output quadratures, thereby maintaining the squeezing magnitude.

description: The basic ideas of scenario planning are to provide analyses of potential future trends and the preparations for the changes brought about by those future trends. Thus the FINSKEN project has developed new integrated scenarios that analyse the potential changes in environmental and socio-economic factors for Finland in the 21st century. This article provides long-run socio-economic scenarios for Finland as a contribution to the FINSKEN project. Its aim is to present and analyse future scenarios of Finland's population and economic development, as well as to apply relevant technological and social foresight studies approaches. In this article, four tailored storylines and worlds of future development are presented for Finland. These are related to the scenarios of the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The storylines are based on expert interviews and material from official and expert documents. In addition, the authors operationalise the four storylines for the Finnish economy using the International Futures (IFs) for Terra world model. Furthermore, empirical results and model runs concerning the economic and social long-run transition paths of the Finnish economy are presented.

description: New data are presented on the dynamics of total bacterioplankton numbers (BN) and dark CO2-fixation (DCF) in 1989–1993. During this period, both BN and DCF have been much higher than in the preceding years. Summer averages of DCF and BN for the period 1985–1988 were 0.49 ug C l–1 d–1 and 0.54 x 106 cells ml–1, and for 1989–1993 they were 2.4 µg C l–1 d–1 and 1.02 x 106 cells ml–1, respectively. The summer 1992 averages of BN, 2.26 x 106 cells ml–1 in epilimnion and 1.16 x 106 cells ml–1 in hypolimnion are the highest values recorded since the beginning of bacterioplankton investigations in Lake Ladoga in 1977. The increase of DCF and BN has been accompanied with a considerable decrease (from 9 down to 6.3–8.3 mg l–1) of total organic carbon levels in Lake Ladoga.

description: Many dipolar topological structures have been experimentally demonstrated in (PbTiO$_3$)$_n$/(SrTiO$_3$)$_n$ superlattices, such as flux-closure, vortice, and skyrmion. In this work, we employ deep potential molecular dynamics (MD) to investigate the dynamical response of the (PbTiO$_3$)$_{10}$/(SrTiO$_3$)$_{10}$ superlattice, supporting polar vortex arrays, to temperature and electric field at the atomic level. Our simulations reveal a unique phase transition sequence from ferroelectric-like to antiferroelectric-like to paraelectric in the in-plane direction as temperature increases. In the ferroelectric-like state, we observe field-driven reversible switching of in-plane polarization coupled with out-of-plane movements of vortex cores during MD simulations. In the antiferroelectric-like region, the polarization-electric field hysteresis loop exhibits a superparaelectric feature, showing nearly no loss. This behavior is attributed to a strong recovering force to form polar vortex arrays, dictated by the electrical and mechanical boundary conditions within the superlattice. The (PbTiO$_3$)$_{10}$/(SrTiO$_3$)$_{10}$ superlattice in the antiferroelectric-like state also demonstrates large in-plane susceptibility and tunability. The effect of Pb doping in the SrTiO$_3$ layer on the topological structural transition in the superlattice is investigated. The weakened depolarization field in the PbTiO$_3$ layers leads to new dipolar configurations, such as enlarged skyrmion bubble within $c$ domains in (PbTiO$_3$)$_{10}$/(Pb$_{0.4}$Sr$_{0.6}$TiO$_3$)$_{10}$, and we quantify their thermal and electrical responses through MD simulations. These quantitative atomistic insights will be useful for the controlled optimization of perovskite superlattices for various device applications.

Wanted in Every Sense of the Word: Deconstructing the Romanticized Outlaw Hero
Creators: name: Gregory, Kat
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2024
Subjects: College students' writings, social bandit, outlaw hero, consumerism, popular culture, Robin Hood

description: This essay won or received an honorable mention for The Boothe Prize for excellence in first-year writing. The Boothe Prize recognizes and rewards outstanding expository and argumentative writing by undergraduate students in first-year classes that satisfy the WR 1 requirement. In each award-winning essay, student writers demonstrate clarity of argument, excellent integration of research-based evidence, and compelling prose style.
This essay traces into the 21st century the lineage of  “social bandits/outlaw heroes” like Robin Hood and Jesse James who were believed to be “political symbols” by the poor who supported their challenging the authority of the rich.
However, the author finds that, today, outlaw heroes are not motivated by political ideology so much as consumerism, and, in so doing, illuminates the costly effects of glamorizing “bandits” and incarcerating “criminals” to satisfy a taste for vicarious thrills in an age of boredom and ubiquitous Internet access.

description: This practice article describes one inclusive postsecondary education program's pilot intervention to increase communication amongst caregivers and inclusive postsecondary staff. This pilot intervention aimed to address and alleviate the difficulty caregivers might experience as their young adult with an intellectual or developmental disability transitions into postsecondary schooling, as channels of communication and advocacy shift from the caregiver to the young adult themselves while attempting to utilize postsecondary staff resources efficiently. This article briefly overviews the planning process for a monthly virtual parent/guardian meeting throughout the academic year and reviews outcomes from this pilot intervention.

Year: 2024

description: This study explores challenges faced by young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families enrolling in inclusive post-secondary education (IPSE) programs during COVID-19. The benefits of attending IPSE programs are well-documented, but this group is disadvantaged accessing post-secondary education and employment. The heightened risk of COVID-19 for people with IDD further complicates decision-making. Through interviews with 11 students with IDD and 10 parents, the study explores decisions about enrolling in IPSE, highlighting the importance of access to alternative options, expectations during the pandemic, and the ability of IPSE programs to adapt to future challenges, notably online options.

description: As opportunities for inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) for students with intellectual disability have grown, the field has worked to understand the application of evidence-based practices in secondary transition and supports, such as promoting self-determination, for students with intellectual disability to have the same robust, authentic college experiences as their peers without disabilities. The authors conducted a scoping review on self-determination and IPSE, with findings indicating a small but growing body of literature. Much of the literature addresses the topic generally through practice-based descriptions, and the authors provide recommendations for future directions in research and practice.

description: The analysis of Pb+Pb data for net-charge fluctuations at LHC energies within the HYDJET++ model is presented. The strongly intensive quantities $D$ and $Σ$ are used to get rid of the effects related to volume fluctuations of the system. We employ two versions of the HYDJET++ for the analysis. The first one is the standard or default version, whereas the second one represents its further modification, which takes into account explicit event-by-event conservation of the electric net-charge of produced particles. Inclusion of the canonical net-charge conservation in the model allows one for better description of the experimental data obtained by the ALICE and the CMS Collaborations. Comparison with calculations of other models is also presented.

description: The variability of the concentration and export of the total organic carbon (TOC) was analysed in 16 rivers in Finland (northern Europe). The river basins were categorized by major landuse settings, and their geographical location ranged from the southern boreal to sub-arctic. In the long-run (1975–2000), the concentration of the TOC had a statistically significant (?p < 0.05) decreasing trend in nine rivers at least once during March, May, August and October. The estimated annual load of the TOC was statistically significantly higher (?p < 0.03) in the basins characterized by peatlands than in those dominated by fields, being on average 5.4 and 4.1 g C m–2 a–1, respectively. The winter (January–March) North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index predicted rather well (mean of r2 = 0.48 and p = 0.04125) the TOC load in March in the eight northernmost rivers.
