Freshwater input from glacier melt outside Greenland alters modeled northern high-latitude ocean circulation by J.-H. Malles, J.-H. Malles, J.-H. Malles, J.-H. Malles, B. Marzeion, B. Marzeion, P. G. Myers

“…Moreover, to comprehend the evolution of ice–ocean interactions, it is important to investigate if and how changes in the ocean might affect marine-terminating glaciers' stability. Though most attention in this context has been on freshwater input from Greenland, the other Northern Hemisphere glacierized regions are losing ice mass at a combined rate roughly half that of Greenland and should not be neglected. …”

3D long time spatiotemporal convolution for complex transfer sequence prediction by Qiu Yunan, Cui Yingjie, Tang Haibo, Chen Zhongfeng, Lu Zhenyu, Xue Feng

“…However, two challenges still exist in the existing methods: 1) Most of the existing spatio-temporal prediction tasks focus on extracting temporal information using recurrent neural networks and using convolution networks to extract spatial information, but ignore the fact that the forgetting of historical information still exists as the input sequence length increases. 2) Spatio-temporal sequence data have complex non-smoothness in both temporal and spatial, such transient changes are difficult to be captured by existing models, while such changes are often particularly important for the detail reconstruction in the image prediction task. …”

Concept “Holy Fool” in the Linguistic World-Image of the Russian-Speaking Population of Ukraine by Iia Gordiienko-Mytrofanova, Iuliia Kobzieva

“…The comparative analysis of the verbalized concept “holy fool” in the linguistic world-image of the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine and Russia leads to the following conclusions: 1) the semantic charge of the word “holy fool” is bigger in the linguistic consciousness of the Russian-speaking respondents from the eastern part of Ukraine; 2) the core of the verbalized concept “holy fool” have different components (“HUMAN BEING” – “STRANGE”). Most Ukrainian and Russian respondents tend to treat the concept “holy fool” as something negative or neutral, which testifies to the ambivalence of this concept; theological associates are represented in the periphery; emotive associates are only reflected in singular reactions.…”
