High temperature,salinity and strong oxidation ore-forming fluid at Duobuza gold-rich porphyry copper deposit in the Bangonghu tectonic belt,Tibet:Evidence from fluid inclusions.

The Duobuza gold-rich porphyry copper deposit,located in the Duobuza tectono-magmatic arc at northern margin of the Bangonghu suture zone,is occurred in high-level,early-Cretaceous compositionally quartz diorite porphyrite to granodiorite porphyry which intruded into the strata of the middle Jurassic Yanshiping Formation volcano-sedimentary rocks and the early Cretaceous Meiriqie Group volcanic rocks.Intensively alterations in stock and wall-rocks resulted from emplacement of the intrusion have obvious zonation, as follows:potassic alteration,moderate phyllic alteration,argillization,illite-hydromuscovite and propylitization from centre outwards. Early hydrothermal alteration produced potassic assemblage(biotite-K-feldspar)in the central part of the intrusion,but in the peripheral and upper part of the intrusion occurred later phyllic alteration and argillization,overprinting the earlier potassic alteration. Illite or hydromuscovite and silicification,propylitization occurred in the hosted volcano-sedimentary rocks and volcanic rocks. Mineralization is characterized by multiple generations of stockwork and sheeted quartz,K-feldspar,magnetite,stringer chalcopyrite and gold-bearing veins.Copper and gold mineralization is accompanied by potassic and phyllic alterations.Mineralization is Cu-Au association,belonging to typical gold-rich porphyry copper deposit.Eight main types of veins have been identified,namely M,EB,A, B,C,D,S and G veins.Three major inclusion types and ten subs are distinguished from quartz phenocrysts and various quartz veins. Based on microthermometric analyses of fluid inclusions from quartz phenocrysts and early to late-stage veins,the highest temperature multiphase inclusions(up to 935℃;average salinity 45%NaCl eq,P≈200MPa),containing a number of solids,e.g.opaque, silicate melt,hematite at room temperature,are mainly recorded in quartz phenocrysts,locally in A and C veins.This result indicates that fluids exsolved from magma are high temperature,high salinity,strong oxidation and ore metal-rich ore-forming fluids.They represent the most primitive magmatic fluid recorded at the deposit.When primitive magmatic fluid ascended up to 3km and cooled down to 580℃,they were separated to multiphase fluid inclusions of salinity 60%～80%NaCleq and lower salinity vapor-rich fluid inclusions of salinity 6.9%NaCleq by boiling.This process resulted in formation early M and A veins,and deposition of sulfides mainly,as well as some gold in certain location. Later B,C and D veins were generated by the orthomagmatic fluids boiling episodically.Our research suggests that the Duobuza gold-rich porphyry deposit is representative of the typical orthomagmatic end member of the porphyry continuum.
Effect of Obesity on the Respiratory Parameters in Children with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

The aim of the study was to investigate how obesity can influence sleep respiratory parameters in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children. Methods: The study analyzes 56 Caucasian children and adolescents aged 11 ± 2.79 years with a BMI > 5th percentiles and a PSQ value ≥ 0.33. Children were divided into Obesity Group (OG) with BMI ≥ 95th and Control Group (CG) with 5th < BMI > 95th percentile. All selected children underwent PG. Respiratory parameters AHI (Apnea–Hypopnea Index), SaO2 (Saturation of Oxygen), ODI (Oxygen Desaturation Index), and Nadir (the lowest value of SaO2 registered during PG) were extracted from the PG. AHI was used to divide the severity of OSAS into four levels: snoring (AHI ≤ 1), mild (AHI > 1 and ≤5), moderate (AHI > 5 and <10), and severe (AHI ≥ 10). Results: The comparison analysis between the OG and CG showed a statistical significance only for ODI (p = 0.02). A statistically significant correlation between BMI and AHI (r = 0.02), SaO2 (r = 0.01), and Nadir O2 (r = 0.02) was found. Conclusions: There was no strong correlation between obesity and OSAS, but a positive association was found between BMI and AHI severity.
Remote sensing of upland conifer plantations using Landsat TM data: A case study from Galloway, south-west Scotland

The relationship between reflectance and forest structure is investigated for 52 forest stands in Galloway. Height and basal area are most strongly correlated with reflectance in TM bands 3, 5 and 7 (R2 >= 0.77, P < 0.01). The strength of these relationships decreases substantially after canopy closure has occurred. Stem density cannot be predicted from canopy reflectance. Tree age can only be reliably predicted for areas where growth is uniform, which is rare in upland environments. Analysis of TM imagery provides a cost effective method of mapping certain canopy parameters provided that limited detail is required for older mature plantations with a closed canopy.

The influence of humidity and temperature upon the rate of soil metabolism in the area of Hornsund (Spitsbergen)

Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in some Arctic soils were measured in different thermic and humidity conditions. Testing temperatures was following: 4, 8 and 12 °C. The rate of metabolic processes was temperature and humidity dependent. In the temperature of 4°C the metabolic processes intensity was negatively correlated with humidity, however in higher temperatures the higher was the humidity the higher was also the intensity of metabolic processes. The interaction of humidity and temperature is probably to great extent responsible for low rate of decomposition processes of organic matter in polar conditions.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings Corresponding to Vasculitis as Defined via [18F]FDG Positron Emission Tomography or Ultrasound

Background: We sought to investigate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters that correspond to vasculitis observed via [18F]FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and ultrasound in patients with large-vessel giant cell arteritis (LV-GCA). Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of patients diagnosed with LV-GCA. Patients were selected if MRI, PET/CT, and vascular ultrasound were performed at the time of LV-GCA diagnosis. Imaging findings in vessel segments (axillary segment per side, thoracic aorta) assessed using at least two methods were compared. Vessel wall thickening, oedema, and contrast agent enhancement were each assessed via MRI. Results: Twelve patients with newly diagnosed LV-GCA were included (seven females, 58%; median age 72.1, IQR 65.5–74.2 years). The MRI results showed mural thickening in 9/24 axillary artery segments. All but 1 segment showed concomitant oedema, and additional contrast enhancement was found in 3/9 segments. In total, 8 of these 9 segments corresponded to vasculitic findings in the respective segments as observed via PET/CT, and 2/9 corresponded to vasculitis in the respective ultrasound images. If MRI was performed more than 6 days after starting prednisone treatment, thickening and oedema were seen in only 1/24 segments, which was also pathologic according to ultrasound findings but not those obtained via PET/CT. Four patients had mural thickening, oedema, and contrast enhancement in the aorta, among whom three patients also had vasculitic findings observed via PET/CT. Isolated mural thickening in one patient corresponded to a negative PET/CT result. Conclusions: In the MRI results, mural thickening due to oedema corresponded to vasculitic PET/CT findings but not vasculitic ultrasound findings. The duration of steroid treatment may reduce the sensitivity of MRI.
A Competition Perspective on Physician Non-compete Agreements

Physician non-compete agreements may have significant competitive implications, and effects on both providers and patients, but they are treated variously under the law on a state-by-state basis. Reviewing the relevant law and the economic literature cannot identify with confidence the net effects of such agreements on either physicians or health care delivery with any generality. In addition to identifying future research projects to inform policy, it is argued that the antitrust “rule of reason” provides a useful and established framework with which to evaluate such agreements in specific health care markets and, potentially, to address those agreements most likely to do significant damage to health care competition and consumers.
Investigating the Role of Electronic Human Resource Management Practices on Commercial Banks Performance

In the advent of the Information Technology (IT) revolution, many organizational departments have gone through functionality changes to increase their efficiency and performance. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the functions of electronic human resource management (E-HRM) within an organization on its banking performance. In reference to previous studies, the researcher developed the research model to investigate how the application of E-HRM impacts banking performance in terms of Information technology, E-recruitment and selection, E-training, E-motivation and E-communication. The study's population comprises of management level personnel in Pakistan's banking industry. For the purpose of sampling, the researcher selected all commercial banks operating in Lahore to fill out the questionnaire since seventeen commercial banks exist in Pakistan. The findings of the results indicate that Information Technology, recruitment and selection, Training and Motivation has significant effect on banks profitability and Communication has insignificant effect on Bank performance. This study makes significant contributions. The study proved that successful use of e-HRM solutions enhances the profitability of the banking sector in Pakistan.
Academic Resilience in Chemistry during Covid-19: A Systematic Review

The number of difficulties experienced by students in online learning during a pandemic such as lack of focus and motivation due to stress, students experience a decline and involvement in learning. Some students stated the lack of access to technology and the environment was not conducive to learning. Students who cannot overcome academic difficulties are familiar with academic resilience. This study aimed to review articles on student academic resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic in chemistry lessons. This research is systematic research using the PRISMA method. The systematic review used articles from the range 2020-2023 published in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. A total of 4 articles on the resilience of students studying chemistry during the COVID-19 pandemic met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that journals discussing student resilience in studying chemistry during the COVID-19 pandemic were still limited. However, from this literature research, it turns out that academic resilience is considered capable of maintaining learning success in students during the COVID-19 pandemic

STRATIGRAPHIC AND MICROPALEONTOLOGICAL CONSTRAINTS ON THE MIDDLE EOCENE AGE OF THE MAMMAL-BEARING KULDANA FORMATION OF PAKISTAN

Abstract The Kuldana Formation of Pakistan is best known for its fossil mammals, including primitive cetaceans such as Pakicetus and its close relatives. Kuldana mammals have been regarded in different studies as early Lutetian in age (early middle Eocene), late Ypresian (late early Eocene), or, recently, to span much of Ypresian through early Lutetian time (early part of the early Eocene through the early middle Eocene). The Kuldana Formation is a relatively thin, 20–120 m thick low-sea-stand tongue of continental red beds lying within a much thicker sequence of foraminifera-rich marine formations. Planktonic and shallow benthic forams constrain the age of the Kuldana Formation to the late early Eocene or the early middle Eocene, and current interpretation of global sea level stratigraphy favors the latter. The short duration of the low-sea-stand interval when Kuldana mammals are found means that differences between samples recovered to date probably represent differences in local living environments, sites of deposition, and sampling, rather than any substantial difference in age. This reinforces an interpretation first proposed from the perspective of coeval Kalakot mammals recovered from the Subathu Formation in India.
Role of the marine biosphere in the global carbon cycle

The geochemical disequilibrium of our planet is due mainly to carbon sequestration by marine organisms over geological time. Changes in atmospheric CO, during interglacial-glacial transitions require biological sequestration of carbon in the oceans. Nutrient-limited export flux from new production in surface waters is the key process in this sequestration. The most common model for export flux ignores potentially important nutrient sources and export mechanisms. Export flux occurs as a result of biological processes whose complexity appears not to bc accommodated by the principal classes of simulation models, this being especially true for food webs dominated by single-celled protists whose trophic function is more dispersed than among the multicelled metazoa. The fashionable question concerning a hypothetical “missing sink” for CO2 emissions is unanswerable because of imprecision in our knowledge of critical flux rates. This question also diverts attention from more relevant studies of how the biological pump may be perturbed by climatic consequences of CO, emissions. Under available scenarios for climate change, such responses may seem more likely to reinforce, rather than mitigate, the rate of increase of atmospheric CO,.
Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Survey on Body Posture Among Healthcare Workers in Federal Medical Centre Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria

Background: Health-care Professionals are constantly exposed to work-related musculoskeletal disorders which bring about deleterious effects on their well-being. A better understanding of ergonomic risk factors and appropriate working posture are important in overcoming various musculoskeletal disorders commonly reported among health care workers. Good posture can lead to good appearance; poise, integrity, and dignity. Aims and objectives: The objectives of this study were to assess the knowledge of body posture, attitude towards good posture and practice patterns for posture among health care health care professionals. Materials and methods: The cross-sectional survey recruited 136 health care professionals from Federal Medical Centre, Owo, Ondo State, South Western Nigeria. Ethical approval was obtained from the Health Research Ethics Committee of Federal Medical Centre, Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria. Informed consent of all participants was sought and obtained after the rationale behind the study has been explained to them. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Good Posture among the participants. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics of percentage and frequency tables. Results: 66(48.5%) were males while 70(51.5%) were females. 24.3% of the respondents are Doctors; 36.8% Nurses; 7.4% Pharmacists; 8.8% Radiologists; 10.3% Dentists; MLS 8.8% and Optometrists 3.7%. The result also showed that 63.2% of the participants had good knowledge of good posture. 89% positive attitude towards good posture, while only 27.9% had good practice of good posture. Conclusion: Majority of Health Care Professionals in this study demonstrated adequate knowledge of good posture and positive attitude towards good posture. However, only one-quarter of the participants demonstrated good practice of good posture in their day-to-day activities which shows that good knowledge and attitudes does not always translate into good practice.
Analysis of ramifications of power outages on online teaching and learning in South Africa

This qualitative paper analyses the ramifications of power outages on online teaching and Learning higher education in South Africa. Globally, online teaching and learning have been commended as the pinnacle of open distance learning. However, in South Africa, this approach has been disrupted by continuous power cuts. The analysis, in this paper, is based on the perspectives of both students and lecturers from the selected universities in South Africa. The explanatory research design is the blueprint of this study. Both students and lecturers were conveniently selected to participate in this investigation. On one hand, two focus groups consisted of students anchored in the data collection process, while on the other hand, one group focused on the lecturers. Additionally, reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyse the responses from both sets of participants. Connectivism theory anchors the golden thread in this argument. According to some of the responses from the students, power cuts cause severe disruption to their studies. The findings show that these power cuts negatively affect online teaching and learning activities as lecturers are also inconvenienced. The findings reveal that the power cuts are disrupting network connectivity. As a result, the teaching and learning process is frequently disrupted due to this problem. Thus, the study recommends that universities should invest in alternative power supply to circumvent power cut disruptions. The other recommendation exposes a need for offline teaching and learning platforms to reduce over-reliance on the national power utility also known as Eskom.
A Description and Comparison of Anthropometrical and Physical Fitness Characteristics in Urban and Rural 7-11 Years Old Boys and Girls in Golestan Province, Iran

The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the anthropometrical and fitness parameters in urban-rural boys and girls in the age of 7-11 years old in Golestan, Iran and consider the relationship between them. 1224 boys and girls (7-11 years old) were selected as sample from three urban areas and siex rural areas in Golestan. Standing height, weight, body mass index, percentage of body as anthropometrical variables and 40 m dash, standing long jump, sit and reach, handgrip, sit-up and 10×4 m running as fitness variables were measured. The data were analyzseds using mean, standard deviation, t test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation (P<0.05). The results showed that boys were better than girls in height, weight, standing long jump and sit-up items. The girls, also, had higher scores than boys in percentage of body fat. The urban children were better than rural in weight, standing long jump and sit-up. The rural girls had lower scores in handgrip rather than other groups. Correlation results showed that height positively and weight negatively had a correlation with running and jumping tasks. Weight had a positive correlation with handgrip item. The results are discussed in positive effect of better living condition on growth and fitness on the children in rural areas.
