description: To better understand the environmental factors and biological interactions affecting roach abundance and population structure in oligo-mesotrophic lakes, we explored roach population parameters in 24 small forest lakes in southern Finland. In those lakes, roach abundance was only little affected by the abiotic and biotic variables such as lake characteristics, water transparency, nutrient concentrations, pH or related variables, predation and competition. This was probably due to the generalist characteristics of the roach as it is adaptive to a wide variety of environments. Instead, the population structure and age-specific growth of the roach were strongly affected by various environmental variables. The growth rate was negatively related to water colour, calcium and nutrient concentration and roach abundance, and positively related to perch abundance and lake size. The growth patterns and relatively stable abundance showed flexibility in adaptation to different environmental conditions. Our results indicate that the ongoing environmental changes, recovery from acidification and brownification may notably affect the structure and production of roach populations, and may alter the role of the roach in lake ecosystems

description: Terpene emissions from the top-canopy layer (at 20 m) of one 118-year-old Norway spruce tree were measured between June and September 2013 using a branch chamber. Total terpene emissions varied from 0.05 to 332.5 µg gdw–1 h–1 with a peak in August. Monoterpenes dominated throughout the summer and on average accounted for 65% of the total terpene mass, followed by sesquiterpenes (29%) and isoprene (6%). The values obtained with an optimized hybrid model, assuming the partitioning of monoterpene emissions from both de novo synthesis and storage structures, were in good agreement with the observed emissions (Pearson’s r = 0.94) at the branch level. De novo monoterpene emissions were found to dominate in all campaigns (> 50%) with almost 100% in June. The highest standardized (30 °C, 1000 µmol photons m–2 s–1) monoterpene emission rate was 210.3 µg gdw–1 h–1 in August, followed by that in June (68.8 µg gdw–1 h–1). Therefore, both de-novo-synthesis and long-term observations that include seasonal variations are needed for accurately upscaling terpene emissions.

description: Ozone fluxes were measured over a forest in southern Finland between August 2001 and July 2002 using the eddy covariance method. Systematic errors due to the imperfect frequency response of the instrumentation and random errors due to the stochastic nature of turbulence were estimated. Flux underestimation correction factors for unstable stratification were 1.03–1.19. Random errors of the flux estimates were most frequently about 20% of the flux value. Fluxes were highest during the summer, declining to near zero during the winter. In summer, fluxes were higher during daytime than at night coinciding with higher turbulence and higher rate of stomatal uptake. Maximum summertime deposition velocities were 6–7 mm s–1. During winter, the diurnal pattern in ozone flux was weak and the deposition velocity was 0.5–1.5 mm s–1. Comparison between eddy covariance and profile flux measurement results generally showed good agreement during daytime.

description: The summer diet of benthic whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus (L.)) was studied in an oligotrophic subarctic lake. The fish were caught with bottom gill net series during two open-water seasons in 1982–1983. Planktonic crustaceans, especially cladocerans, were the most common food of small (< 150 mm) whitefish. The mid-sized fish (150–220 mm) preyed mostly on the larvae and pupae of chironomids, which were also the most frequent prey of larger whitefish during July. Zoobenthos such as molluscs and chironomid larvae were the food most utilized by the largest fish (> 220 mm). The use of zoobenthos increased and that of insect pupae decreased towards the autumn in every size group of fish. Differences were significant within large fish (p < 0.001). Stomach fullness and the frequency of empty stomachs varied markedly from year to year; fluctuations were more pronounced in the larger fish. Between the smallest fish (< 150 mm) and the other size-groups a clear difference was present in the percentage of plankton food (p < 0.001), suggesting the presence of only minimal food competition. Improved growth of fish longer than 150 mm indicated a favorable effect of the diet shift. After the length of 200 mm was attained the diet similarity between size-groups was pronounced. Slow growth was probably caused by intraspecific food competition. After the fish attained the length of 240 mm rapid improvement in growth was observed.

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Male Primary Teacher

description: This research investigates the social and professional experiences of male primary school teachers, focusing on the barriers and stereotypes they face in an environment where they are underrepresented. Using a qualitative phenomenological case study approach, this research delves into the lived experiences of male primary teachers in Indiana. It explores societal perceptions and expectations that influence recruitment and retention within the primary setting. The study employs Role Congruity Theory, a framework that aids in understanding the alignment or misalignment between societal gender roles and the actual roles of primary teachers, as its theoretical foundation. The research is based on data collected through in-depth interviews with male primary teachers. These interviews reveal the stereotypes that male teachers must navigate and the strategies they employ to establish professional identity and acceptance in their roles. The findings call attention to overcoming societal biases and fostering inclusive school practices. This study shows how male primary teachers contribute to the primary settings, challenging traditional gender roles and enriching the learning environments. This research recommends initiatives for school leaders and policymakers to enhance male teachers' recruitment and supportive structures in primary settings. The research emphasizes the importance of addressing these key areas to promote a more equitable representation in primary teaching, which is crucial for mirroring societal diversity. This research contributes to educational leadership by providing insights that can help dismantle gender-based barriers and promote more inclusive environments for teacher recruitment and retention for males in the primary setting.

Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 1999

description: The effect of various forest management types on the alpha diversity of ground vegetation was studied with an ecological simulation model. With this model, stand characteristics were simulated during different management programmes and were then used to calculate the diversity of the ground vegetation. Alpha diversity was expressed as Simpson's reciprocal, which was estimated using stand attributes. The diversity model was estimated using generalised linear models (GLMs). The significant variables in the diversity model were site type, stage of development (clearcut area or other), stand basal area and proportions of pine, aspen and willow as number of stems. In alternative management programmes, the type, interval and intensity of thinning were varied. In managed forests, the most intensive thinning produced the highest diversity of ground vegetation during a rotation. Differences in the diversity of ground vegetation between management programmes were, however, small.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to examine disagreement over what Americans count as racism and distinguish racial injustice deniers who would likely oppose reform versus those who merely show reluctance to use the word racism and may be potential allies in combating injustice. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of two conditions which varied the frame of response items: racism (control) vs. racial insensitivity/injustice (treatment). Both conditions presented identical scenarios exemplifying explicit, subtle, institutional, and colorblind racism and asked respondents to determine whether the scenarios were instances of racism (racial insensitivity/injustice) or not. A total of 2,030 respondents participated. Respondents were also asked to indicate whether they thought racism (racial injustice) was still a problem in the U.S. and their support for anti-racism policies. Prior to treatment, respondents were asked to complete measures of trust in people, civic knowledge, and voting behavior. This allowed for comparison of perceptions and attitudes across conditions and respondent characteristics.

description: The deposition of the base cations Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ in 1998 was estimated for Finland using measurement data for precipitation and air quality. The highest deposition for all compounds was measured near the southern coast, and it decreased gradually northwards. Deposition of sodium and magnesium increased again in the far north in the vicinity of the Arctic Ocean. The estimated ranges for the annual deposition of sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium in Finland were 90–610 mg m–2, 10–80 mg m–2, 30–160 mg m–2 and 30–210 mg m–2, respectively. Similar values have been published for large areas of Sweden and Norway. During the last decade the sum of the base cation concentration in bulk precipitation decreased by 15%–35% in all areas in Finland. The non-sea-salt fraction declined in bulk precipitation approximately as much. An especially large reduction occurred in the southeastern part of Finland, where the wet deposition of base cations decreased almost as much as the wet deposition of sulphur.

description: Moiré superlattices have become an emergent solid-state platform for simulating quantum lattice models. However, in single moiré device, Hamiltonians parameters like lattice constant, hopping and interaction terms can hardly be manipulated, limiting the controllability and accessibility of moire quantum simulator. Here, by combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and theoretical analysis, we demonstrate that high-order moiré patterns in graphene-monolayered xenon/krypton heterostructures can simulate honeycomb model in mesoscale, with in-situ tunable Hamiltonians parameters. The length scale of simulated lattice constant can be tuned by annealing processes, which in-situ adjusts intervalley interaction and hopping parameters in the simulated honeycomb lattice. The sign of the lattice constant can be switched by choosing xenon or krypton monolayer deposited on graphene, which controls sublattice degree of freedom and valley arrangment of Dirac fermions. Our work establishes a novel path for experimentally simulating the honeycomb model with tunable parameters by high-order moiré patterns.

description: In public roads, autonomous vehicles (AVs) face the challenge of frequent interactions with human-driven vehicles (HDVs), which render uncertain driving behavior due to varying social characteristics among humans. To effectively assess the risks prevailing in the vicinity of AVs in social interactive traffic scenarios and achieve safe autonomous driving, this article proposes a social-suitable and safety-sensitive trajectory planning (S4TP) framework. Specifically, S4TP integrates the Social-Aware Trajectory Prediction (SATP) and Social-Aware Driving Risk Field (SADRF) modules. SATP utilizes Transformers to effectively encode the driving scene and incorporates an AV's planned trajectory during the prediction decoding process. SADRF assesses the expected surrounding risk degrees during AVs-HDVs interactions, each with different social characteristics, visualized as two-dimensional heat maps centered on the AV. SADRF models the driving intentions of the surrounding HDVs and predicts trajectories based on the representation of vehicular interactions. S4TP employs an optimization-based approach for motion planning, utilizing the predicted HDVs'trajectories as input. With the integration of SADRF, S4TP executes real-time online optimization of the planned trajectory of AV within lowrisk regions, thus improving the safety and the interpretability of the planned trajectory. We have conducted comprehensive tests of the proposed method using the SMARTS simulator. Experimental results in complex social scenarios, such as unprotected left turn intersections, merging, cruising, and overtaking, validate the superiority of our proposed S4TP in terms of safety and rationality. S4TP achieves a pass rate of 100% across all scenarios, surpassing the current state-of-the-art methods Fanta of 98.25% and Predictive-Decision of 94.75%.

description: Methane (CH4) fluxes at the sediment–water interface were studied during summer in six lakes and two reservoirs in Finland. The oxygen penetration in the sediments of these boreal mesotrophic–hypereutrophic freshwater ecosystems varied from 0 to 8 mm, and the CH4 concentrations within the uppermost 10 cm from 17 to 51000 ppm(v). The diffusive methane fluxes to the overlying water column ranged from 0.44 to 105 mg m–2 d–1 and correlated negatively (R2 = 0.68) with the oxygen penetration in the sediment. This demonstrated that the CH4 concentration and the diffusive CH4 fluxes in the lake sediments are closely related to the O2 conditions, which regulate both CH4 production and CH4 oxidation in the sediment. The comparison between the diffusive CH4 fluxes at the sediment–water interface and CH4 fluxes at the water–air interface previously measured in situ in one lake and two reservoirs showed that the sediment CH4 fluxes poorly predict the CH4 release from the water surface to the atmosphere. This indicates that the CH4 oxidation in water column, advective transport of CH4 and CH4 ebullition have importance in the net CH4 release to the atmosphere. The increased CH4 concentration in water column close to the sediment is an indicator of serious oxygen depletion within sediment.

description: Laboratory studies have shown that herbivory-induced biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions might enhance aerosol formation and growth. To increase understanding of the atmospheric relevance of this enhancement, we analyzed 25 years of data from SMEAR I (Station for Measuring Ecosystem-Atmosphere Relations) in northern Finland, where autumnal moth (Epirrita autumnata) larvae are prominent defoliators of mountain birch. We did not find a direct correlation between the autumnal moth density and aerosol processes, nor between the total number concentration and temperature, and hence the basal BVOC emissions. Instead, there is some evidence that the total particle concentration is elevated even for a few years after the infestation due to delayed defense response of mountain birch. The low total biomass of the trees concomitantly with low autumnal moth densities during most of the years of our study, may have impacted our results, hindering the enhancement of aerosol processes.

Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to measure consumer demand for corporate social responsibility (CSR). Respondents were randomly assigned to five firms from a subset of Fortune 500 companies and asked to report willingness to pay for a gift card from each firm prior to and after viewing real CSR information for each firm. Experimental treatments varied the CSR information presented (political, environmental, gender diversity, or none (control)), strategic information treatment (assigned to receive vs. not receive information regarding the frequency at which others boycott), and social image treatment (assigned to receive vs. not receive an incentive to share responses on Facebook). A total of 2,586 respondents participated. This allowed for comparison of perceptions of ideological fit with firms and valuation of spending at firms before and after information treatments and perceptions of social image reward/cost.

Particularly, using growth rates together with the condensation sink will help understanding the formation and growth processes of atmospheric aerosols. In this paper, we develop this formalism even further and introduce the concept of condensation sink diameter (CSD). It can be successfully used both when analyzing experimental data as well as in model calculations, especially when using simple multimodal monodisperse methods. The observed values of CSD for the whole distribution in Hyytiälä are seen to be of the order 100 nm. The connection between number median diameter, surface area diameter and CSD is investigated in depth as well as the role of the CSD when designing model runs of atmospheric particle formation and growth.

description: The study of the physics of accretion discs developed around the supermassive black hole (BH) candidates are essential theoretical tools to test their nature. Here, we study the accretion flow and associated emission using generalised $α$-discs on to horizonless dark compact objects, in order to compare with the traditional BH scenario. The BH alternative here proposed consists in a dense and highly degenerate core made of fermionic dark matter (DM) which is surrounded by a more diluted DM halo. Such a dense core -- diluted halo DM configuration is a solution of the Einstein equations of General Relativity (GR) in spherical symmetry, which naturally arises once the quantum nature of the DM fermions is dully accounted for. The methodology followed in this work consist in first generalising the theory of $α$-discs to work in the presence of regular and horizonless compact objects, and second, to apply it to the case of core-halo DM profiles typical of active-like galaxies. The fact that the compactness of the dense and transparent DM core scales with the particle mass, allows for the following key findings of this work: (i) it always exist a given core compacity -- i.e., corresponding particle mass -- which produces a luminosity spectrum which is basically indistinguishable from that of a Schwarzschild BH of the same mass as the DM core; (ii) the disc can enter deep inside the non-rotating DM core, allowing for accretion powered efficiencies as high as $28\%$, thus comparable to that of a highly rotating Kerr BH. These results, together with the existence of a critical DM core mass of collapse into a supermassive BH, open new avenues of research for two seemingly unrelated topics such as AGN phenomenology and dark matter physics.

description: Particle accelerator modeling is an important field of research and development, essential to investigating, designing and operating some of the most complex scientific devices ever built. Kinetic simulations of relativistic, charged particle beams and advanced plasma accelerator elements are often performed with high-fidelity particle-in-cell simulations, some of which fill the largest GPU supercomputers. Start-to-end modeling of a particle accelerator includes many elements and it is desirable to integrate and model advanced accelerator elements fast, in effective models. Traditionally, analytical and reduced-physics models fill this role. The vast data from high-fidelity simulations and power of GPU-accelerated computation open a new opportunity to complement traditional modeling without approximations: surrogate modeling through machine learning. In this paper, we implement, present and benchmark such a data-driven workflow, synthesising a fully GPU-accelerated, conventional-surrogate simulation for hybrid particle accelerator beamlines.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to explore the correlation between criminal risks and rewards and assess the impacts of risk and reward on decisions to engage in a crime. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of sixteen conditions which presented vignettes of criminal opportunity with risk (drunk driving low risk, drunk driving high risk, theft low risk, or theft high risk) and reward (physical fight low social reward, physical fight high social reward, tax fraud low monetary gain, or tax fraud high monetary gain) manipulated. A total of 4,348 respondents participated. Each respondent was asked to evaluate one risk-manipulated and one reward-manipulated vignette in terms of the perceived risk of apprehension, rewards, and willingness to act criminally in the specific situations presented. This allowed for comparison of perceptions of risk and reward and the impact of these perceptions on behavior across vignettes.

description: We present the change in the thermal growing season based on a unique long-term climatological data set obtained at the Järvselja Training and Experimental Forestry Centre in southeast Estonia. The data cover the years 1955–2020 and we employed the growing degree-days (GDD) algorithm on them. We defined the days when temperature is persistently above 5°C as GDD5; when above 10°C as GDD10. Our results showed that both GDD5 and GDD10 have increased by 14.8 (2.2 days/decade) and 18 (2.8 days/decade) days, respectively. The recent average growing season length is 204 days in case of GDD5 and 164 days in case of GDD10. Our results reveal that during the most recent decade, the length is stagnating and the onset in spring delays while the growing season's end extends towards winter. We find that the number of extreme cold (below –20°C) dropped by a factor of 3.3 while extreme warm days (above +25°C) rose by a factor of 2.6. Possible implications of these changes on the forest ecosystem are discussed.

description: We introduce a numerical strategy to study the evolution of 2D water waves in the presence of a plunging jet. The free-surface Navier-Stokes solution is obtained with a finite but small viscosity. We observe the formation of a surface boundary layer where the vorticity is localised. We highlight convergence to the inviscid solution. The effects of dissipation on the development of a singularity at the tip of the wave is also investigated by characterising the vorticity boundary layer appearing near the interface.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to examine how normalizing the use of they/them pronouns influences people’s related attitudes, behavioral-intentions, and levels of expressed prejudice/tolerance towards transgender persons. Respondents were randomly assigned to be presented with either a control (no gender identity/pronoun discussion) or one of three treatments: (1) descriptive information and growing acceptability of the singular use of they/them pronouns; (2) injunctive norm for referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves; and, (3) descriptive information plus injunctive norm. A total of 1,601 respondents participated. Respondents in treatment groups 1 and 3 were asked to report their personal pronouns from a list. All respondents were asked to rate their level of comfort with singular use they/them pronouns and answer metrics of prejudice towards transgender persons. This allowed for comparison of attitudes across treatments.

description: Pikeperch populations typically differ substantially in life-history traits. Here, we evaluated the potential of variable size limits to ensure ecologically and evolutionarily sustainable fishing of six important Finnish inland pikeperch stocks using a carefully parameterized age-, size-, and maturity-structured evolutionary population model. Individual growth rates of the Oulujärvi and Vesijärvi stocks were the fastest and least resource-limited. The Höytiäinen, Vanajavesi and Pääjärvi stocks were strongly regulated by density-dependent food availability. Minimum size limit ensuring the highest yields was clearly higher for the fast-growing stocks than for the strongly food-limited stocks. Implementation of a maximum size limit 200 mm above the minimum size limit (MSL) would allow the stocks to tolerate stronger fishing mortality rate, but the 200 mm slot appeared too wide to significantly prevent evolution towards earlier maturation. To ensure maximal stability of yield and minimal evolutionary effect, fishing mortality rates should be restricted to relatively low values.

Type material examined.
Japan • lectotype of H. insularum; ANSP 95252.
Type localities.
“ Yonakunijima, Ryuyku ”, Japan (H. insularum); “ TAIWAN: Kenting Tropical Botanical Garden, Kenting, Hengchun, Pingdung, 21°58'04.5"N 120°48'55.3"E, alt. 295 m ” (H. kentingensis).
Differential diagnosis.
This species is unique by its shell shape which resembles a pyramid (due to the sharp keel located at the base of the last whorl and moderately deep suture). All apertural barriers are strong but this is especially true for the angulo-parietal lamella.
Distribution.
This species is known from the type locality and Kenting Tropical Botanical Garden, Kenting, Hengchun, Pingdung, Taiwan (21°58'04.5"N, 120°48'55.3"E). The latter is the type locality of H. kentingensis.
Remarks.
Hypselostoma kentingensis is considered a junior synonym of this species since no major differences were observed between the two. All differences mentioned by Hwang (2014) in the original description are considered intraspecific variability. The statement in Hwang (2014) that H. kentingensis is smaller is not correct given the fact that the dimensions of the two species largely overlap (see Pilsbry 1917).

Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 2001

description: Gas exchange of one-year-old silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) seedlings of boreal habitat was studied in laboratory conditions. Seedlings were exposed to stepwise changes in CO2 concentration and irradiance in five constant temperatures ranging from 9 to 33 °C. The Farquhar biochemical model was fitted to the response curves. Values for the photosynthesis parameters Jmax and Vc(max) as well as their temperature dependences were derived from the measurements. Following characteristics of the boreal growth conditions, the response curves were determined also at temperatures below 20 °C. This was, indeed, reflected to photosynthesis parameters, though results showed relatively large variation due to differences among leaves. The gas exchange rates of separate leaves could vary by 40% and also the temperature dependences were slightly different. The slope and curvature of the light response curve were relatively constant above 19 °C and decreased at low temperatures.

description: Ground-level ozone is an air pollutant that, despite reductions in precursor emission in Europe, still represents a risk to vegetation and human health. This study is based on observations of ozone concentrations ([O3]) from 25 European monitoring stations, north of the Alps within the EMEP network, during the 26-year period from 1990–2015. We analyzed the maximum and minimum hourly [O3] as well as the seasonal cycle in relation to latitude. In addition, temporal trends were studied. The maximum [O3] increased towards the south of the study area, while the yearly minimum of daytime mean increased towards the north. There was a strong correlation between the day of year when the maximum [O3] occurred and latitude: the maximum [O3] occurred earlier in the north. The maximum daytime [O3] decreased at all stations while the minimum daytime [O3] increased at most stations during the studied time period.
