    Abstract Speciated ground-level aerosol concentrations are required to understand and mitigate health impacts from dust storms, wildfires, and other aerosol emissions. Globally, surface monitoring is limited due to cost and infrastructure demands. While remote sensing can help estimate respirable (i.e. ground level) concentrations, current observations are restricted by inadequate spatiotemporal resolution, uncertainty in aerosol type, particle size, and vertical profile. One key issue with current remote sensing datasets is that they are derived from reflectances observed by polar-orbiting imagers, which means that aerosol is only derived during the daytime and only once or twice per day. Newer quantification methods using geostationary infrared (IR) data have focussed on detecting the presence, or absence, of an event. The determination of aerosol composition or particle size using IR exclusively has received little attention. This manuscript summarizes four scientific papers, published as part of a larger study, and identifies requirements for (a) using infrared radiance observations to obtain continual (i.e. day and night) concentration estimates; (b) increasing temporal resolution by using geostationary satellites; (c) utilizing all infrared channels to maximize spectral differences due to compositional changes; and (d) applying a high-pass filter (brightness temperature differences) to identify compositional variability. Additionally, (e) a preliminary calibration methodology was tested against three severe air quality case study incidents, namely, a dust storm, smoke from prescribed burns, and an ozone smog incident, near Sydney in eastern Australia which highlighted the ability of the method to determine atmospheric stability, clouds, and particle size. Geostationary remote sensing provides near-continuous data at a temporal resolution comparable to monitoring equipment. The spatial resolution (~ 4 km

  3. Article ; Online: New Probe of Inflationary Gravitational Waves: Cross-Correlations of Lensed Primary CMB B-Modes with Large-Scale Structure.

    Abstract We propose a new probe of inflationary gravitational waves (IGWs): the cross-correlation of the lensing of inflationary B-mode polarization with a large-scale structure (LSS) tracer, which can also be a cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing map. This is equivalent to measuring a three-point function of two CMB B-modes and an LSS tracer. We forecast expected 1σ constraints on the tensor-to-scalar ratio r, albeit with a simplistic foreground treatment, and find constraints of σ_{r}≃7×10^{-3} from the correlation of CMB-S4-Deep B-mode lensing and LSST galaxies, σ_{r}≃5×10^{-3} from the correlation of CMB-S4-Deep B-mode lensing and CMB-S4-Deep CMB lensing, and σ_{r}≃10^{-2} from the correlation of LiteBIRD B-mode lensing and CMB-S4-Wide lensing. Because this probe is inherently non-Gaussian, simple Gaussian foregrounds will not produce any biases to the measurement of r. While a detailed investigation of non-Gaussian foreground contamination for different cross-correlations will be essential, this observable has the potential to be a useful probe of IGWs, which, due to different sensitivity to many potential sources of systematic errors, can be complementary to standard methods for constraining r.

    Abstract Social science studies view community wellbeing to be a cumulative construct of multiple dimensions which include social, economic, environmental, physical, political, health, education indicators and more. The study of community wellbeing is compounded by climate change as it increases the frequency of disasters affecting all dimensions of community wellbeing. It becomes crucial for communities to build community resilience and address the impact on community wellbeing in the context of Disaster Risk Reduction and sustainable development. This systematic literature aimed to understand how community wellbeing is affected by climate change. It analysed 23 papers from Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, and Google Scholar, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method, to address three research questions: (i) how do climate change scholars understand community wellbeing, (ii) how community wellbeing is affected by specific climate change factors/conditions and the nature of impact, and (iii) how the impact on community wellbeing as a result of climate change is being addressed. The study found that climate change scholars hold mixed and multiple views or understanding of community wellbeing and climate change led to mental stress decreasing community wellbeing. The solutions to improve community wellbeing in the context of climate change suggests that adaptation should be the main policy instrument supplemented by mitigation strategies and recommends building a vibrant research culture in wellbeing and climate studies, among others. This review provides insights into the complex relationship between community wellbeing and climate change and identifies areas for future research and policy development.

    Abstract Background: Many intensive care unit patients are awake (ie, alert and engaging in conversation), actively experiencing many facets of their critical care. The Patient Dignity Inventory can be used to elicit sources of distress in these patients. We examined the administrative question as to which awake intensive care unit patients should be evaluated and potentially treated (eg, through palliative care consultation) for distress. Should the decision to screen for distress be based on patient demographics or treatment conditions?
    Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of 155 adult patients from 5 intensive care units of one hospital from 2019 to 2020. Each patient had ≥48 hours without delirium, dementia, or sedation. The Patient Dignity Inventory has 25 items to which patients responded on a 1 (not a problem) to 5 (an overwhelming problem) scale. Multiple complete, stepwise forward, and stepwise backward logistic regression models were created among patient and treatment variables for predicting thresholds of the mean among the 25 items.
    Results: There were 50% (78/155; 95% confidence interval [CI], 42-58) of patients with significant dignity-related distress (mean score ≥1.60). There were 34% (52/155; CI, 26-42) of patients with severe dignity-related distress (mean score ≥1.92; previously associated with often feeling like wanting to die). Models including combinations of vasopressor medication (protective of distress), tracheostomy (greater risk of distress), and female gender (greater risk of distress) had some predictive value. However, all combinations of potential predictors had misclassification rates significantly >20%.
    Conclusions: Identification of subsets of patients with little potential benefit to screening for dignity-related distress would have a reduced workload of palliative care team members (eg, nurses or social workers). Our results show that this is impractical. Given that approximately one-third of critical care patients who are alert and without delirium demonstrate severe dignity-related distress, all such patients with prolonged intensive care unit length of stay should probably be evaluated for distress.
