We present a map of the total intrinsic reddening across similar or equal to 34 deg(2) of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) derived using optical (ugriz) and near-infrared (IR; YJK(s)) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of background galaxies. The reddening map is created using a subsample of 29 274 galaxies with low levels of intrinsic reddening based on the LEPHARE chi(2) minimization SED-fitting routine. We find statistically significant enhanced levels of reddening associated with the main body of the SMC compared with regions in the outskirts [Delta E(B - V) similar or equal to 0.3 mag]. A comparison with literature reddening maps of the SMC shows that, after correcting for differences in the volume of the SMC sampled, there is good agreement between our results and maps created using young stars. In contrast, we find significant discrepancies between our results and maps created using old stars or based on longer wavelength far-IR dust emission that could stem from biased samples in the former and uncertainties in the far-IR emissivity and the optical properties of the dust grains in the latter. This study represents one of the first large-scale categorizations of extragalactic sources behind the SMC and as such we provide the LEPHARE outputs for our full sample of similar to 500 000 sources. ; European Research Council (ERC) 682115 ERC consolidator grant project STARKEY 615604 National Science Foundation (NSF) AST 1655677 Spanish Ministry for Science, Innovation and Universities AYA2016-81065-C2-2 European Commission AYA2016-81065-C2-2 State Agency for Research of the Spanish MCIU through the 'Centre of Excellence Severo Ochoa' award SEV-2017-0709 PGC2018-095049B-C21 Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica (CONICYT) CONICYT PIA/BASAL AFB-170002 Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica (CONICYT) CONICYT FONDECYT 1170364 Science and Engineering Research Board, India through a Ramanujan Fellowship UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) VISTA at the La Silla Paranal Observatory 179.B-2003 United States Department of Energy (DOE) National Science Foundation (NSF) Spanish Government UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Higher Education Funding Council for England National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Kavli Institute of Cosmological Physics at the University of Chicago Ohio State University Ciencia Tecnologia e Inovacao (FINEP) Carlos Chagas Filho Foundation for Research Support of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ) Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPQ) Ministerio da Ciencia, Tecnologia e Inovacao German Research Foundation (DFG) Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy at Texas AM University United States Department of Energy (DOE) University of Chicago University of California at Santa Cruz University of Cambridge Centro de Investigaciones Energeticas, Medioambientales y Tecnologicas-Madrid University of Chicago University College London DES-Brazil Consortium University of Edinburgh ETH Zurich United States Department of Energy (DOE) University of Chicago University of Illinois atUrbanaChampaign Institut de Ciencies de l'Espai (IEEC/CSIC) Institut de Fisica d'Altes Energies United States Department of Energy (DOE) Ludwig-Maximilians Universitat Munchen associated Excellence Cluster Universe University of Michigan System National Science Foundation (NSF) NSF - Directorate for Mathematical & Physical Sciences (MPS) University of Nottingham Ohio State University University of Pennsylvania University of Portsmouth Stanford University United States Department of Energy (DOE) Stanford University University of Sussex Texas AM University
1. The negative impacts of drought on forest growth and productivity last for several years generating legacies, although the factors that determine why such legacies vary across sites and tree species remain unclear. 2. We used an extensive network of tree-ring width (RWI, ring-width index) records of 16 tree species from 567 forests, and high-resolution climate and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) datasets across Spain during the common period 1982‒2008 to test the hypothesis that climate conditions and growth features modulate legacy effects of drought on forests. Legacy effects of drought were calculated as the differences between detrended-only RWI and NDVI series (i.e. after removing long-term growth trends) and pre-whitened RWI and NDVI series predicted by a model including drought intensity. Superposed Epoch Analysis (SEA) was used to estimate whether legacy effects differed from random. Finally, legacy effects were related to water balance, growth persistence and variability, and tree species identity. 3. We found a widespread occurrence of drought legacy effects on both RWI and NDVI, but they were seldom significant. According to SEA, first-year drought legacies were negative and different from random in 9% and 5% of the RWI and NDVI series respectively. The number of significant second- and third-year legacies was substantially lower. Differences between RWI and NDVI legacies indicate that canopy greenness and radial growth responses to drought are decoupled. We found variations in legacies between tree species with gymnosperms presenting larger first-year drought legacies than angiosperms, which were exposed to less severe droughts. Greater growth variability can explain the presence of first-year RWI legacies in gymnosperms from dry sites despite that the relationship between growth variability and legacies was complex. 4. Synthesis. Accounting for species and site responses to drought provides a better understanding of the magnitude and duration of drought legacies on forest growth and productivity. Despite the widespread occurrence of growth reductions in the years during and after drought occurrence, significant legacies were not very common, mostly lasted one year, and were more widespread in gymnosperms. These are relevant factors to be considered in the future when studying the consequences of drought on forest productivity and tree growth. ; This study was financially supported by: Xunta de Galicia, Grant/ Award Number: PGIDIT06PXIB502262PR, GRC GI-1809; INIA, Grant/Award Number: RTA2006-00117; CANOPEE, 2014-2020- FEDER funds; and Spanish Science Ministry: RTI2018-09688 4- B-C31, RTI2018-096884-B-C33, AGL2017-83828-C2-2R and ENV4-CT97-0641 projects.

Phase 1 of the Colorado Plateau Coring Project (CPCP-I) recovered a total of over 850m of stratigraphically overlapping core from three coreholes at two sites in the Early to Middle and Late Triassic age largely fluvial Moenkopi and Chinle formations in Petrified Forest National Park (PFNP), northeastern Arizona, USA. Coring took place during November and December of 2013 and the project is now in its post-drilling science phase. The CPCP cores have abundant detrital zircon-producing layers (with survey LA-ICP-MS dates selectively resampled for CA-ID-TIMS U-Pb ages ranging in age from at least 210 to 241 Ma), which together with their magnetic polarity stratigraphy demonstrate that a globally exportable timescale can be produced from these continental sequences and in the process show that a prominent gap in the calibrated Phanerozoic record can be filled. The portion of core CPCP-PFNP13-1A for which the polarity stratigraphy has been completed thus far spans similar to 215 to 209Ma of the Late Triassic age, and strongly validates the longer Newark-Hartford Astrochronostratigraphic-calibrated magnetic Polarity Time-Scale (APTS) based on cores recovered in the 1990s during the Newark Basin Coring Project (NBCP). Core recovery was similar to 100% in all holes (Table 1). The coreholes were inclined similar to 60-75 degrees approximately to the south to ensure azimuthal orientation in the nearly flat-lying bedding, critical to the interpretation of paleomagentic polarity stratigraphy. The two longest of the cores (CPCP-PFNP13-1A and 2B) were CT-scanned in their entirety at the University of Texas High Resolution X-ray CT Facility in Austin, TX, and subsequently along with 2A, all cores were split and processed at the CSDCO/LacCore Facility, in Minneapolis, MN, where they were scanned for physical property logs and imaging. While remaining the property of the Federal Government, the archive half of each core is curated at the NSF-sponsored LacCore Core Repository and the working half is stored at the Rutgers University Core Repository in Piscataway, NJ, where the initial sampling party was held in 2015 with several additional sampling events following. Additional planned study will recover the rest of the polarity stratigraphy of the cores as additional zircon ages, sedimentary structure and paleosol facies analysis, stable isotope geochemistry, and calibrated XRF core scanning are accomplished. Together with strategic outcrop studies in Petrified Forest National Park and environs, these cores will allow the vast amount of surface paleontological and paleoenvironmental information recorded in the continental Triassic of western North America to be confidently placed in a secure context along with important events such as the giant Manicouagan impact at similar to 215.5 Ma (Ramezani et al., 2005) and long wavelength astronomical cycles pacing global environmental change and trends in atmospheric gas composition during the dawn of the dinosaurs. ; NSF [EAR 0958976, 0958859, 0959107, 0958723, 958915]; ICDP (International Scientific Continental Drilling Program) [05-2010]; FRINATEK [213985, 244926/BG]; Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Oslo (Norway); Lamont-Climate Center; National Natural Science Foundation of China [41730317]; Special Basic Program of Ministry of Science and Technology of China [2015FY310100]; Bureau of Geological Survey of China; National Committee of Stratigraphy of China [DD20160120-04]; [EAR 1649254]; [EAR 1462297]; [EAR 0949962]; [EAR 1338322]; [EAR 1258878] ; Open access journal. ; This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.

I tre capitoli in cui è suddiviso il lavoro cercano di offrire una ricognizione delle questioni che ruotano intorno alla sussistenza o meno di prerogative presidenziali riguardo l'attività legislativa, e in generale sulle eventuali trasformazioni avvenute, soprattutto negli ultimi anni, nel ruolo del Presidente della Repubblica all'interno del sistema costituzionale italiano. Il lavoro esordisce con una premessa metodologica con cui si tenta di valorizzare la questione relativa ai diversi approcci metodologici che si possono seguire nello studio delle tematiche presidenziali: ossia, tenere nettamente distinti il piano delle norme da quello delle prassi oppure analizzarli e valutarli congiuntamente. Il primo capitolo è dedicato all'analisi della figura presidenziale così come delineata dalla Costituzione e arricchita dagli oltre sessant'anni di letteratura costituzionale. Vengono quindi analizzate le disposizioni costituzionali di riferimento e viene dato conto delle principali teorie costituzionali espresse dalla letteratura giuridica. Il secondo capitolo è dedicato a quella che viene offerta come una delle possibili cause da cui traggono origine le evoluzioni registrate in questi ultimi anni dalla figura presidenziale: ossia, il mutamento del sistema costituzionale di rappresentanza politica. Tale elemento è analizzato soprattutto nel suo ambito istituzionale, vale a dire il modello di forma di governo rappresentato dal circuito parlamento-governo. Il terzo capitolo entra direttamente nelle due questioni di fondo della ricerca: da un lato lo studio della generale attività presidenziale di intervento nelle questioni politiche, attraverso comunicati o esternazioni; dall'altro lato l'analisi di alcuni specifici casi paradigmatici di intervento presidenziale in sede di emanazione o promulgazione (o, comunque, discussione) degli atti legislativi del governo e del parlamento, accaduti tra il 2006 e il 2013. Inoltre, il lavoro è arricchito da una importante sezione (allegata) di "case studies" contenente il risultato di una ricerca effettuata su oltre tremila documenti presidenziali, dal 2006 al 2013, resi pubblici dagli uffici del Quirinale. ; The three parts of the job try to offer a recognition of the issues connected the existence of the presidential prerogatives about the legislative activity, and in general terms on the eventual happened transformations, above the last few years, to the role of the President of the Republic inside of the Italian constitutional system. The job start with one methodological premise that aims to value the relative issue to the various methodological approaches that can be followed in the study of presidential thematic: that is, to hold clearly distinguished the plan of the norms from that one of the praxes or to analyze them and to estimate them jointly. The first chapter is dedicated to the analysis of the delineated from Constitution and enriched presidential figure therefore like from beyond sixty years of constitutional literature. The second chapter is dedicated to one of the possible causes from which the evolutions recorded from the presidential figure draw origin in the past few years: that is, the change of the constitutional system of political representation. Such element is analyzed above all in its institutional within, that is to say the model of shape of government represented by the circuit parliament-government. The third chapter directly analyzes the two main issues of the research: on one side the study of the general presidential activity of participation in the political issues, through his communicates; on the other hand, the analysis of some specific case studies of presidential participation during emanation or enactment of the legislative actions deriving by the government and the parliament, between 2006-2013. Moreover, the job is enriched from one important section (attached) of "case studies" containing the result of a research carried out on more than 3000 presidential documents, from 2006 to 2013, published from the offices of the Quirinale.
Leseprobe: Die Basishypothese dieser Arbeit ist die von Barcelona als einem Kulturstandort. Dass die Stadt ein solcher Standort ist, und dass dieses auch durch das Kulturmanagement und die Stadtplanung Barcelonas so projektiert wurde, soll im Verlauf der Arbeit belegt werden. Die Dynamik der diesbezüglichen Planung wird insbesondere im Hinblick auf den Stand der Gegenwart und den Zielsetzungen für die Zukunft analysiert. Gang der Untersuchung: Da das Verhältnis von Kultur und Raum in Barcelona besonderer Natur ist, wird auch die städtebauliche und raumstrukturelle Umsetzung der Kulturstandortpolitik und dessen Konsequenzen im Stadtraum von Barcelona untersucht werden. Der Stadtraum Barcelonas wird dabei als kulturelles, urbanes Artefakt betrachtet. Dabei werden auch diejenigen geographischen Eigenheiten des Stadtraumes berücksichtigt, die einen Beitrag zur Erklärung der Verteilung und Anordnung kultureller Standorte leisten. Ergänzt wird dies durch die Darstellung wichtiger städtebaulicher Erneuerungsprozesse, die Auswirkungen auf den Kulturstandort haben. Der Darstellung der formalen Lageverhältnisse und Verbreitungsmuster der urbanen Kulturstandorte kommt jedoch kein spezifisches Gewicht zu. Vielmehr geht es schwerpunktmäßig um die Untersuchung des vorhandenen (kulturellen) Standortpotentials und dessen konzeptioneller Einbindung in die Inszenierung des Stadtraumes Barcelonas als Kulturstandort. Deshalb wird sowohl die Frage nach der dahinterliegenden theoretischen Fundierung der Kulturstandortplanung bzw. der kulturpolitischen Zielsetzungen (Leitlinien), als auch die nach der Umsetzung (Kulturmanagement und Kommunikationspolitik) aufgeworfen. Weitere Schwerpunkte bilden die Untersuchungen zu den Strukturen der Kulturpolitik in Barcelona (Akteure, Verwaltungen, etc.) und denen des (öffentlich-rechtlichen) Kulturbetriebes. Dabei werden die kulturellen Aktivitäten bzw. die ´großen Ereignisse´ des Kulturbetriebes im besonderen analysiert. Die Erläuterung der Dimension der barcelonesischen Kulturindustrie wird sich auf die Darstellung der öffentlich-rechtlichen Förderung dieser Industrie konzentrieren. Es werden aber auch die Grundzüge der privatwirtschaftlich-kommerziellen Kulturindustrie dargestellt. In dem Kapitel 2.5 werden einige Besonderheiten der barcelonesischen bzw. katalanischen Kulturpolitik erläutert. Dies betrifft insbesondere den Aspekt Kultur und Katalanismus, da diesem eine gewisse Schlüsselrolle bei der Klärung der Frage nach dem ´Warum´ des hohen Stellenwertes der barcelonesischen Kulturpolitik zukommt. Die unternommene Profilierung Barcelonas als Kulturstandort von europaweiter bzw. internationaler Bedeutung wird hinsichtlich des Gelingens dieser Image-Kampagne begutachtet werden. Dies soll zum einen anhand der Darstellung der Wahrnehmung und Bewertung der Kulturpolitik bzw. des Leitbildes in der lokalen, regionalen, nationalen und internationalen -wissenschaftlichen wie nicht-wissenschaftlichen Öffentlichkeit geschehen. Zum anderen anhand der Darstellung der von den unterschiedlichen Kräften des Kultursektors ausgehenden Synergieeffekte für die Stadtentwicklung Barcelonas zu Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts. Indirekt geht es in diesem Zusammenhang auch um die Frage, ob Barcelona wirklich die Stadt ist, die für die "Gleichheit der Möglichkeiten, für Integration und Solidarität" arbeitet und ob die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den öffentlichen Kulturinstitutionen, den zivilgesellschaftlichen Gruppen und der Öffentlichkeit wirklich so reibungslos verläuft wie es die Stadt bewirbt (AJUNTAMENT -BARCELONA INFORMACIÓ-, 1999). Die Arbeit schließt mit einem Ausblick und einem Resümee ab.

Objectives: We investigated the association between outdoor air pollutants exposure in the first trimester of pregnancy, and growth and cardio-metabolic risk at four years of age, and evaluated the mediating role of birth weight. Methods: We included mother-child pairs (N = 1,724) from the Spanish INMA birth cohort established in 2003–2008. First trimester of pregnancy nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine particles (PM2.5) exposure levels were estimated. Height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, and lipids were measured at four years of age. Body mass index (BMI) trajectories from birth to four years were identified. Results: Increased PM2.5 exposure in the first trimester of pregnancy was associated with decreased z-scores of weight (zWeight) and BMI (zBMI) (zWeight change per interquartile range increase in PM2.5 exposure = −0.12; 95% CI: −0.23, −0.01; zBMI change = −0.12; 95% CI: −0.23, −0.01). Higher NO2 and PM2.5 exposure was associated to a reduced risk of being in a trajectory with accelerated BMI gain, compared to children with the average trajectory. Birth weight partially mediated the association between PM2.5 and zWeight and zBMI. PM2.5 and NO2 were not associated with the other cardio-metabolic risk factors. Conclusions: This comprehensive study of many growth and cardio-metabolic risk related outcomes suggests that air pollution exposure during pregnancy may be associated with delays in physical growth in the early years after birth. These findings imply that pregnancy exposure to air pollutants has a lasting effect on growth after birth and require follow-up at later child ages. ; This study was funded by grants from the Eulji University (grant numbers ESCAPE project FP7-ENV-2007-1-211250, DENAMIC project FP7-ENV-2011-282957, HELIX project FP7-ENV-2012-308333, and MEDALL project HEALTH.2010.2.4.5-1), from the Spanish Instituto de Salud Carlos III (grant numbers Red INMA G03/176; CB06/02/0041; PI03/1615 incl.

Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative. ; [Importance] Plasma phosphorylated tau at threonine 181 (p-tau181) has been proposed as an easily accessible biomarker for the detection of Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology, but its ability to monitor disease progression in AD remains unclear. ; [Objective] To study the potential of longitudinal plasma p-tau181 measures for assessing neurodegeneration progression and cognitive decline in AD in comparison to plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL), a disease-nonspecific marker of neuronal injury. ; [Design, Setting, and Participants] This longitudinal cohort study included data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative from February 1, 2007, to June 6, 2016. Follow-up blood sampling was performed for up to 8 years. Plasma p-tau181 measurements were performed in 2020. This was a multicentric observational study of 1113 participants, including cognitively unimpaired participants as well as patients with cognitive impairment (mild cognitive impairment and AD dementia). Participants were eligible for inclusion if they had available plasma p-tau181 and NfL measurements and at least 1 fluorine-18–labeled fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) or structural magnetic resonance imaging scan performed at the same study visit. Exclusion criteria included any significant neurologic disorder other than suspected AD; presence of infection, infarction, or multiple lacunes as detected by magnetic resonance imaging; and any significant systemic condition that could lead to difficulty complying with the protocol. ; [Exposures] Plasma p-tau181 and NfL measured with single-molecule array technology. ; [Main Outcomes and Measures] Longitudinal imaging markers of neurodegeneration (FDG PET and structural magnetic resonance imaging) and cognitive test scores (Preclinical Alzheimer Cognitive Composite and Alzheimer Disease Assessment Scale–Cognitive Subscale with 13 tasks). Data were analyzed from June 20 to August 15, 2020. ; [Results] Of the 1113 participants (mean [SD] age, 74.0 [7.6] years; 600 men [53.9%]; 992 non-Hispanic White participants [89.1%]), a total of 378 individuals (34.0%) were cognitively unimpaired (CU) and 735 participants (66.0%) were cognitively impaired (CImp). Of the CImp group, 537 (73.1%) had mild cognitive impairment, and 198 (26.9%) had AD dementia. Longitudinal changes of plasma p-tau181 were associated with cognitive decline (CU: r = –0.24, P < .001; CImp: r = 0.34, P < .001) and a prospective decrease in glucose metabolism (CU: r = –0.05, P = .48; CImp: r = –0.27, P < .001) and gray matter volume (CU: r = –0.19, P < .001; CImp: r = –0.31, P < .001) in highly AD-characteristic brain regions. These associations were restricted to amyloid-β–positive individuals. Both plasma p-tau181 and NfL were independently associated with cognition and neurodegeneration in brain regions typically affected in AD. However, NfL was also associated with neurodegeneration in brain regions exceeding this AD-typical spatial pattern in amyloid-β–negative participants. Mediation analyses found that approximately 25% to 45% of plasma p-tau181 outcomes on cognition measures were mediated by the neuroimaging-derived markers of neurodegeneration, suggesting links between plasma p-tau181 and cognition independent of these measures. ; [Conclusions and Relevance] Study findings suggest that plasma p-tau181 was an accessible and scalable marker for predicting and monitoring neurodegeneration and cognitive decline and was, unlike plasma NfL, AD specific. The study findings suggest implications for the use of plasma biomarkers as measures to monitor AD progression in clinical practice and treatment trials. ; This work was supported by the "Miguel Servet" program grant CP19/00031 of the Spanish Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Dr Grothe); research fellowship A202f0812F from the Brightfocus Foundation, grant AF-930627 from the Swedish Alzheimer Foundation, grant FO2020-0240 from the Swedish Brain Foundation, grant 2020-00124 from the Agneta Prytz-Folkes & Gösta Folkes Foundation, and support from the Swedish Dementia Foundation, the Aina (Ann) Wallströms and Mary-Ann Sjöbloms Foundation, the Anna Lisa and Brother Björnsson's Foundation, Gamla Tjänarinnor, and the Gun and Bertil Stohnes Foundation (Dr Karikari); the Paulo Foundation and the Orion Research Foundation (Dr Snellman); grant 752310 from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie action grant agreement, grant PI19/00155 from the Instituto de Salud Carlos III, and grant IJC2018-037478-I from the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Juan de la Cierva Programme) (Dr Suárez-Calvet); grant 2018-02532 from the Swedish Research Council, 681712 from the European Research Council, ALFGBG-720931 from the Swedish State Support for Clinical Research, 201809-2016862 from the Alzheimer Drug Discovery Foundation USA, and the UK Dementia Research Institute at University College London (Dr Zetterberg); grant 2017-00915 from the Swedish Research Council, RDAPB-201809-2016615 from the Alzheimer Drug Discovery Foundation USA, AF-742881 from the Swedish Alzheimer Foundation, FO2017-0243 from Hjärnfonden, Sweden, the Swedish state under the agreement between the Swedish government and the County Councils, ALFGBG-715986 from the ALF-agreement, and JPND2019-466-236 from the European Union Joint Program for Neurodegenerative Disorders (Dr Blennow); KAW 2014.0363 from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (Wallenberg Centre for Molecular and Translational Medicine, 2017-02869 from the Swedish Research Council, ALFGBG-813971 from the Swedish state under the agreement between the Swedish government and the County Councils, the ALF-agreement, and AF-740191 from the Swedish Alzheimer Foundation (Dr. Schöll).

Lake Hawassa is a topographically closed lake in the Central Main Ethiopian Rift Valley. The water level of this lake has been rising significantly with an average rate of 4.9 cm/year over the study period (1970-2010). The cause of this rise is not yet sufficiently investigated. The main target of this study is to investigate causal variables for lake level variability in general, and its resultant rise in particular. The study is based on two main hypotheses. The first is concerned with the effect of climate variability on the lake level variability; and the second is related to the effect of sedimentation on the storage capacity of the lake. The first hypothesis (the effect of climate variability) was investigated through the application of diverse statistical techniques. It comprises the coherence analysis to study the linear relationship between the 3.4 ENSO index and lake level changes. A sequential regime shift algorithm was employed to investigate the variations in the mean values of some selected hydro-climatic variables. Trend test was also used to investigate the variability of the hydro-climatic variables overtime. A simple water balance approach was applied to simulate the lake level variability so as to examine how the model behaves throughout the study period. The second hypothesis (the effect of sedimentation) was approached by conducting a new bathymetric survey. The result of the new survey was compared with the existing bathymetric map of 1999. The Pacific-Southwest Inter-Agency Committee (PSIAC) model was also employed to identify the "hot-spots" of sediment production in the watershed. In this semi-quantitative model, nine factors affecting sediment yielding the watershed were characterized, rated, and an overlay analysis was performed. Participatory assessment of anthropogenic factors that affect the hydrological status of the lake was conducted through the application of DPSIR (Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response) analytical framework. The result of the coherence analysis between the monthly lake level changes and the corresponding changes in the ENSO index reveals that the two variables have significant linear relationship over frequencies ranging from 0.13 to 0.14 cycles/month or 1.56 to 1.68 cycles/year. This corresponds to a dominant average periodicity (coincident cycle) of about 7.4 months. Furthermore, the result of sequential regime shift detections show that most of the significant change points coincide with the occurrences of ENSO events and climate shifts. Generally, the lake level tends to be high during El Niño and low during La Niña years. The typical example is the coincidence of extreme historical maximum lake level to the strongest El Niño event of the century that occurred in 1997/98. The coincidence of climate regime shift in the Pacific Ocean in 1976/77 with an equivalent regime shift in the lake level and rainfall records of this period is considered as additional evidence. The study further reveals the existence of sequential regime shifts in stream flow, runoff coefficient, and lake evaporation which clearly coincide with the occurrences of ENSO phenomena. Results of the Mann-Kendall trend analyses also reveal the significant increasing trend of the lake level and streamflow. On the contrary, decreasing trend of evaporation was observed while rainfall exhibits no trend over the study period. The long-term increasing trend of streamflow from Tikur Wuha sub-watershed without the corresponding increment in rainfall is found to explain the role of land use/cover changes at least in modifying the impact of climate. The application of simple spreadsheet water balance model estimates the long-term (1986-2006) average annual magnitudes of the water balance components as follows: over-lake precipitation (89 Mm3), evaporation from the lake surface (132 Mm3), streamflow from the Tikur Wuha sub-watershed (94 Mm3), and streamflow from the un-gauged sub-watershed (77 Mm3) and storage changes (3 Mm3). Comparison of the two bathymetric maps shows that the average accumulated sediment between the years 1999 and 2010 was estimated as 14 ± 5cm or 13.3 x106 m3. Assuming a constant rate, the mean annual average rate of sedimentation in the lake is about 1.2 cm/year or 1.1 x106 m3. Accordingly, the mean annual reduction in storage capacity of the lake due to siltation is 0.08 %. The attempt to link sediment yield estimate of the bathymetric approach with the estimates of the PSIAC model results in a considerable disagreement as the former estimates 967 m3/km2/year whereas the latter estimates the sediment yield to be in the range of 95-250 m3/km2/yr. The result of participatory assessment of anthropogenic factors and review of previous studies shows that anthropogenic factors show considerable impact on the hydrological status of the lake. Sedimentation and increased runoff are perceived as pressures (immediate causes) for the lake level rise (state). These pressures are perceived to arise from drivers (land use changes, deforestation and misuse/mistreatment of land resources). These drivers in turn had resulted from indirect drivers that comprised population growth and density, agricultural development, the use of wood as fuel, socio-economic changes, and the existing land tenure system. The interesting finding of this assessment of anthropogenic factors is the presence of promising policy instruments (responses) that support the integrated management of the lake and the watershed. The failure of implementation of these policy instruments is the commonly complained issues among the stakeholders. ; Der Einfluss von Sedimentation und Klimavariabilität auf die Hydrologie des Hawassa-Sees, Südäthiopien Der Hawassa-See ist ein Endsee im afrikanischen Grabenbruch, dessen Wasserstand im Zeitraum dieser Studie (1970-2010) jährlich im Durchschnitt um 4,9 cm gestiegen ist. Der Grund für diesen Anstieg ist noch nicht ausreichend erforscht. Das Hauptziel dieser Studie ist die Untersuchung der Ursachen für die Variabilität des Seewasserstandes im Allgemeinen und für den beobachteten Anstieg insbesondere. Dieser Arbeit liegen zwei Hypothesen zugrunde. Die erste bezieht sich auf die Auswirkungen der Klimavariabilität und die zweite auf die Auswirkung der Sedimentation auf die Speicherkapazität des Hawassa-Sees. Für die Untersuchung der ersten Hypothese (Auswirkung der Klimavariabilität) wurden verschiedene statistische Verfahren eingesetzt, darunter die Kohärenzanalyse, um die lineare Beziehung zwischen dem 3.4 ENSO-Index und der Wasserstandsänderung zu prüfen. Der sequential regime shift algorithm wurde verwendet, um zu untersuchen, ob die Kipppunkte der Mittelwerte ausgewählter hydro-klimatischer Variablen mit dem Auftreten bzw. der Intensität der ENSO-Ereignisse übereinstimmen. Weiterhin wurde eine Trendanalyse durchgeführt, um die zeitliche Variabilität klimatischer Parameter zu bestimmen. Mittels eines einfachen Wasserbilanzverfahrens wurden die Wasserstandsänderungen simuliert, um das Modellverhalten im Untersuchungszeitraum zu analysieren. Für die Analyse der zweiten Hypothese (Sedimentationseffekt) wurde eine neue bathymetrische Untersuchung durchgeführt und mit einer existierenden Bathymetrie aus dem Jahr 1999 verglichen. Das Pacific-Southwest Inter-Agency-Committee-Modell (PSIAC) wurde für die Bestimmung von "Hot-Spots" der Sedimentproduktion eingesetzt. In diesem Modell werden neun Faktoren der Erosion und Sedimentation im Einzugsgebiet berücksichtigt, flächenhaft berechnet und überlagert. Abschließend wurde eine partizipative Bewertung der beeinflussenden anthropogenen Faktoren im Rahmen der DPSIR-Methode (Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response) durchgeführt. Das Ergebnis der Kohärenzanalyse zwischen monatlichen Wasserstandsänderungen und den entsprechenden ENSO-Indices zeigt, dass die beiden Variablen eine signifikante lineare Beziehung im Frequenzbereich von 0,13 bis 0,14 Zyklen/Monat bzw. 1,56 bis 1,68 Zyklen/Jahr aufweisen. Dies entspricht einer dominierenden mittleren Periodizität von ca. 7,4 Monaten. Darüber hinaus zeigen die Ergebnisse der sequential regime shift detection, dass die überwiegenden Kipppunkte der ENSO-Ereignisse und der Klimaparameter übereinstimmen. Der Seewasserstand tendiert in El Niño-Jahren zu höheren und in La Niña-Jahren zu niedrigeren Werten. Ein typisches Beispiel ist die Übereinstimmung des historisch höchsten Seewasserstandes mit dem stärksten El Niño-Ereignis des letzten Jahrhunderts im Winter 1997/1998. Eine weitere Evidenz ist die Übereinstimmung der Verschiebung des Klimaregimes im pazifischen Ozean 1976/1977 mit einer entsprechenden Verschiebung des Seewasserstände und der Niederschläge im gleichen Zeitraum. Die Untersuchung zeigt auch die Existenz von weiteren Regimeverschiebungen in Abfluss, Abflussbeiwert und Evaporation in Übereinstimmung mit ENSO-Ereignissen. Die Ergebnisse der Mann-Kendall-Trendanalyse zeigen eine Übereinstimmung zwischen Seewasserstand und gemessenem Zufluss, wohingegen die Evaporation abnimmt und der Niederschlag keinen Trend zeigt. Die langfristige Zunahme der beobachteten Zuflüsse am Pegel Tikur-Wuha ohne Änderung des Niederschlags ist ein Hinweis auf die Bedeutung von Landnutzungs- und Landbedeckungsänderungen im Einzugsgebiet. Die Anwendung einer einfachen Tabellenkalkulation ergibt die langfristigen (1986-2006) mittleren Jahresbilanzen: Niederschlag über dem See (89 Mm 3 ), Evaporation des Sees (132 Mm 3 ), Zufluss des Tikur-Wuha Einzugsgebietes (94 Mm 3 ), und Zufluss des nicht instrumentierten Einzugsgebietes (77 Mm 3 ) sowie Speicheränderung (3 Mm 3 ). Der Vergleich der beiden Bathymetrien ergibt eine Sedimentakkumulation in der Zeit von 1999 bis 2010 in Höhe von 14 ± 5cm oder 13.3 x10 6 m 3 , was einem mittleren Wert von 1.2 cm/a oder 1.1x10 6 m 3 entspricht. Dies bedeutet einen Verlust an Speichervolumen in Höhe von 0.08% pro Jahr. Beim Versuch, die Ergebnisse der Bathymetrie (967 m 3 /km 2 /a) mit denen des PSIAC Modells (95-250 m 3 /km 2 /a) zu vergleichen, werden klare Unterschiede deutlich. Die Analyse vorheriger Studien und die teilnehmende Bewertung der anthropogenen Einflussfaktoren zeigen einen deutlichen Einfluss derselben auf die Hydrologie des Sees. Sedimentation und zunehmender Gebietsabfluss werden als Belastung (pressure) für den Seewasserstand (Status, state) angesehen. Diese Belastung ist eine Folge verschiedener Treiber (drivers: Landnutzungsänderung, Abholzung, unangemessene Nutzung der Landressourcen). Diese direkten Treiber werden von indirekten Treibern wie Bevölkerungswachstum, landwirtschaftliche Entwicklungen, Feuerholznutzung, sozio-ökonomische Änderungen sowie den existierenden Besitzverhältnissen beeinflusst. Interessanterweise existieren vielversprechende politische Instrumente (response), die das integrierte Management des Sees und seines Einzugsgebietes unterstützen. Das Versagen der Implementierung dieser politischen Instrumente wird von den betroffenen Stakeholdern beklagt.

The transient showed prominent narrow Balmer lines in emission at all times and a slow rise to maximum in all bands. In addition, early observations performed by amateur astronomers give a very well-constrained explosion epoch. The observables are consistent with continuous interaction between the supernova ejecta and a dense and extended H-rich circumstellar medium. The presence of such an extended and dense medium is difficult to reconcile with standard stellar evolution models, since the metallicity at the position of SN 2015da seems to be slightly subsolar. Interaction is likely the mechanism powering the light curve, as confirmed by the analysis of the pseudo bolometric light curve, which gives a total radiated energy ≳ 1051 erg. Modeling the light curve in the context of a supernova shock breakout through a dense circumstellar medium allowed us to infer the mass of the prexisting gas to be ≂ 8 MO , with an extreme mass-loss rate for the progenitor star ≂ 0.6 MO yr-1, suggesting that most of the circumstellar gas was produced during multiple eruptive events. Near- and mid-infrared observations reveal a fluxexcess in these domains, similar to those observed in SN 2010jl and other interacting transients, likely due to preexisting radiatively heated dust surrounding the supernova. By modeling the infrared excess, we infer a mass ≳ 0.4 × 10-3 MO for the dust. ; The Oskar Klein Centre is funded by the Swedish Research Council.
