Syn-rift carbonate platforms in space and time: testing and refining conceptual models using stratigraphic and seismic numerical forward modelling

Abstract Understanding and predicting architecture and facies distribution of syn-rift carbonates is challenging owing to complex control by climatic, tectonic, biological and sedimentological factors. CarboCAT is a three-dimensional stratigraphic forward model of carbonate and mixed carbonate–siliciclastic systems that has recently been developed to include processes controlling carbonate platform development in extensional settings. CarboCAT has been used here to perform numerical experiment investigations of the various processes and factors hypothesized to control syn-rift carbonates sedimentation. Models representing three tectonic scenarios have been calculated and investigated, to characterize facies distribution and architecture of carbonate platforms developed on half-grabens, horsts and transfer zones. For each forward stratigraphic model, forward seismic models have also been calculated, so that modelled stratal geometries presented as synthetic seismic images can be directly compared with seismic images of subsurface carbonate strata. The CarboCAT models and synthetic seismic images corroborate many elements of the existing syn-rift and early-post-rift conceptual model, but also expand these models by describing how platform architecture and spatial facies distributions vary along-strike between hanging-wall, footwall and transfer zone settings. Synthetic seismic images show how platform margins may appear in seismic data, showing significant differences in overall seismic character between prograding and backstepping stacking patterns.
A report of seronegative clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis

Clinical amyopathic dermatomyositis is a rare idiopathic inflammatory disease within the spectrum of dermatomyositis. This disease entity presents with similar cutaneous findings as dermatomyositis, but the clinical manifestation of myositis is absent. Given the increased risk also associated with clinical amyopathic dermatomyositis, a high index of suspicion is imperative to minimize rheumatologic and dermatologic misdiagnoses. Here we report a case of seronegative CADM in a young female athlete.
The Influence Of Vegetation On Reflected Solar Radiation In Arid And Extra-Arid Zone Of Mongolian Gobi

Vegetation cover has a noticeable effect on surface reflectivity and local microclimate in arid areas of Mongolian Gobi. Over the past decades, various shrub species (Haloxylon ammodendron and Calligonum mongolicum) have appeared on the previously unvegetated hamada. The climatic consequences of bush encroachment are still poorly understood. Using the experimental data, this article estimates the reflectance of plants dominating in Mongolia’s dry steppe, desert-steppe, and desert ecosystems. The average values of the total reflection coefficient at visible and infrared wavelengths range from 19.7% ± 1.4% to 20.1% ± 1.7% in plants growing in desert-steppe ecosystems, and from 25.0% ± 0.9% to 24.8% ± 1.5% on the bare surface. The difference between the reflectance of vegetated and unvegetated surfaces reaches 5%. Therefore, in daylight hours, the vegetated day surface loses less solar energy than the non-vegetated surface does. This phenomenon may be defined as a quasi- or secondary greenhouse effect – in daylight hours, solar energy is retained on the surface by vegetation and this contributes to the temperature increase. Such an impulse, which seems to be insignificantly small at first glance, triggers a series of climatic variations leading to a change in the structure of the radiation and heat balance as well as the climate not only in the desert-steppe and desert ecosystems but also in Central Asia as a whole. All this may explain the 1.2-2.3°C increase in air temperatures in the Gobi observed over the last 25 years.
A Comprehensive Measurement for Sustainability Reporting Quality: Principles-Based Approach

This study presents a comprehensive approach to measure sustainability reporting quality (SRQ) and examines levels of SRQ. It was then used to measure SRQ in Indonesia. Based on reporting guidelines, the new comprehensive measurement for SRQ was developed by not only evaluating the extent of disclosures but also by examining the quality. Content analysis was conducted to measure the level of SRQ using this comprehensive measurement. The samples are from stand-alone sustainability reports of companies. The results indicate that the overall score for SRQ was moderate. The score was derived using five aspects: the extent of quantitative reporting, the extent of qualitative reporting, the content of the report, the quality of the report, and sustainability reporting accordance. This proposed comprehensive SRQ measurement was used to examine the quantitative and qualitative aspects. This measurement will help academicians to examine the quality of reports and provide more credible assessments that can be used by practitioners to analyze the content of the report. Applying the SRQ measure to Indonesian companies empirically enriches the existing literature.
Supporting Peer Interactions in the Inclusive Preschool Classroom Using Visual Scene Displays

Inclusive preschool classrooms have become increasingly common in recent decades, affording opportunities for children with and without disabilities opportunities to interact and develop positive relationships. Children with disabilities may be unintentionally excluded from these interactions due to communication differences. This paper discusses one assistive technology tool, called visual scene displays (VSDs), for supporting communication and interaction between children. Specifically, the paper aims to: (a) describe VSDs; (b) discuss why VSDs are particularly well-suited for supporting social communication between young children; (c) describe how VSDs are created and introduced to children; and (d) provide examples of how VSDs may be implemented during two common preschool activities: object play and shared storybook reading. Finally, resources for creating VSDs are offered.
Determinants of Islamic Social Responsibility Disclosure the Case of Islamic Bank: Cross Country Analysis

Introduction to The Problem: The rapid growth of Islamic financial institutions around the world attracts a lot of attention, but its growing is not supported by adequate accountability. Several evidence show that accountability of Islamic banks is still very low. The lack of accountability may causes low public trust, so it is important to study the determinant of Islamic Social Responsibility Disclosure by Islamic Bank.Objective Study: This study intends to examine the determinants of Islamic Social Responsibility disclosure (ISR). So practitioners and academics can get a clear view of Islamic Bank's accountability through ISR disclosure.Methodology: This paper applies some theories such as stakeholder theories, agency theory, and legitimacy theory to developed hypotheses linking ISR disclosure and its determinants (internationality, Islamic Corporate Governance, and Socio-Political Context). This paper uses the content analysis method to assess the ISR disclosure of Islamic banks from 13 countries spanning from 2014 to 2016. The ISR index consists of 72 items developed based on AAOIFI. Finally, OLS Regression Analysis is used to test the hypotheses.Findings: The paper find that the level of ISR disclosure is still very low (44%). From the internationality aspect, we found that the proportion of foreign ownership and the status of the multinational corporation influenced the level of ISR disclosure, but we did not find evidence that the CEO's overseas experience affected the level of disclosure. This paper also confirm that Islamic Corporate Governance and Socio-Political context are the main determinant of ISR disclosure by Islamic Bank.
Intramolecular Hydrogen Bond Energy and Its Decomposition—O–H∙∙∙O Interactions

The method to calculate the energy of intramolecular hydrogen bond is proposed and tested for a sample of malonaldehyde and its fluorine derivatives; the corresponding calculations were performed at the ωB97XD/aug-cc-pVTZ level. This method based on relationships found for related intermolecular hydrogen bonds is compared with other approaches which may be applied to estimate the intramolecular hydrogen bond energy. Particularly, methods based on the comparison of the system that contains the intramolecular hydrogen bond compared with corresponding conformations where such interaction does not occur are discussed. The function-based energy decomposition analysis, FB-EDA, of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds is also proposed here.
Land Pricing Model: Price Re-evaluation Due to the Erosion and Climate Change Effects

The aim of this study is to derive and apply the hedonic approach for determining and updating official land prices with respect to e.g. the impact of climate change that has occurred in the conditions of the Czech Republic in recent years. Pricing using the hedonic method is based on capturing individual factors separately. The evaluated soil ecological unit code consists of a 5-digit numerical code, which expresses the affiliation to the climate region (0-9, see table 1), the main soil unit (0-78), the slope of the land and the orientation to the point of the compass (0-9) and also the depth of the soil profile and skeletality (0-9). The derived hedonic pricing model is estimated using heteroscedasticity corrected estimator. The fitted model shows considerably high explanatory power and together with high parameter significance for majority of dummy variables (soil characteristics) as well as with theoretical and logical consistency represent a tool for new official land price settings in the process of land reevaluation due to the erosion and climate change effects.

Reproducibility and equivalence of GDLAM protocol mobile application for the evaluation of functional autonomy

This study aimed to develop a mobile application (App) for the Latin American Group for the Development of the Elderly (GDLAM) protocol of functional autonomy in the Android environment and check its reproducibility. This study was divided into two stages: 1) creation and development of the GDLAM App, Android Studio software, and JAVA as a programming language; 2) evaluation of 63 volunteers for the GDLAM protocol using the traditional method and the App. The significance level was set at p<0.05. There were no statistical differences between the traditional GDLAM protocol and the App. However, the total time required to assess the GDLAM protocol using the App was significantly lower (p <0.001). In addition, the levels of agreement between assessments exhibited strong and very strong positive correlations with significance (p <0.001) for all variables. The study showed that the use of the GDLAM App is as efficient as the traditional functional autonomy protocol for the elderly, demonstrating that reproducibility is adequate, assessment time shorter, and results are obtained faster.

CO2 enrichment and increasing light intensity till a threshold level, enhance growth and water use efficiency of lettuce plants in controlled environment

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and light intensity are the two main environmental drivers known to play important roles in crop growth and yield. In the current study, lettuce seedlings were exposed to four different light intensities [(75, 150, 300 and 600 Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD)] and four different concentrations of CO2 (400, 800, 1200 and 1600 ppm). By increasing light intensity and CO2 concentration growth parameters such as fresh weight, dry weight and leaf area were stepwise increased from 75 to 300 PPFD and from 400 ppm to 1200 ppm CO2 concentration. Maximum fresh weight was observed in 300 PPFD under both 1200 ppm and 1600 ppm CO2 concentrations. Highest dry weight was obtained in plants exposed to 300 and 600 PPFD under both 1200 and 1600 ppm CO2 concentrations. Highest leaf area was detected in 300 PPFD under both 1200 and 1600 ppm CO2 concentrations. Widest stomatal pore aperture was detected in 600 PPFD under 400 ppm and 800 ppm CO2 concentrations. Evapotranspiration increased in a light intensity and CO2 concentration-dependent manner; higher light intensity or higher CO2 concentration, more evapotranspiration. Highest water use efficiency (WUE) was achieved in plants exposed to 300 PPFD under 1200 ppm CO2 concentration. In conclusion, to achieve best growth performance and WUE, lettuce should be produced under 300 PPFD light intensity and 1200 ppm CO2.

Simplified, Readily Available Method for the Treatment of Band Keratopathy With Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid

Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text. Purpose: To compare 3 methods for creating ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution using readily available Vacutainer tubes for the treatment of band keratopathy. Methods: All 3 protocols used commercially available Vacutainer blood collection tubes coated with K2EDTA. An osmometer was used to measure and compare the concentration of EDTA created using 3 different protocols. The time required for preparation of the solution was measured and compared to evaluate its efficiency for everyday clinical use. In addition, volume of EDTA solution obtained was measured for method 1. The most promising protocol for clinical use was then used for treatment of a series of patients. Results: Average osmolarity was 532, 285, and 422 for methods 1, 2, and 3, respectively (ANOVA P < 0.01, all Tukey honestly significant difference P < 0.01). For the respective mixtures, average concentration was 65, 35, and 52 mg/mL, and average time to create solution was 189, 38, and 83 seconds (ANOVA P < 0.01, all Tukey honestly significant difference P < 0.01). The most promising, method 3, was found to be safe and effective in removing calcium from the corneal stroma in a series of 5 patients with 6 eyes treated. It also yielded 25% more solution for clinical use than method 1. Conclusions: Method 3 using a single 10-mL Vacutainer tube with 18 mg of K2-EDTA had the best balance of effective concentration of EDTA, time to preparation, and simplicity of methodology, when compared with previously published methods 1 and 2. It also yielded a greater final volume of solution.
Antecedents And Determinants Of Taxpayer’s Perceptions Of Tax Evasion Behavior

This research was conducted to prove that behavior can occur because of the intention to do so. The population in this study are individual taxpayers who carry out business activities and independent jobs registered at KPP Pratama Samarinda. Sampling is by judgment sampling method, calculate using the Slovin measurement determined by 100 respondents. The data collection method using a survey method using questionnaires. The results of this study indicate that the intention to behave as antecedents positively affects the three determinants of taxpayer's perceptions of tax evasion, namely tax authorities services, tax justice, and tax compliance costs. The authors find that attitude toward behavior, and perceived behavioral control are predictors of intention to commit tax evasion. Factor cited as couraging tax evasion in this study is tax compliance cost. While for the tax authority's services and tax justice do not affect the taxpayer’s perceptions of tax evasion. This research find out the pattern of taxpayers when they commit tax evasion, starting from the perception of the taxpayer's intention. This study recommends that necessary measures should be taken by tax authorities to improve revenue collection and reduce tax evasion.
Genotoxic Effect of Arsenate and Arsenite in Human HaCat Cells in Culture Using Comet Assay

Arsenic is an environmental chemical of toxicological concern today since it is a human genotoxin and chronic exposure is associated with development of cancers, including skin. Inorganic arsenate is metabolically reduced to arsenite by glutathione (GSH) prior to methylation. The aim of this study was to determine the relative toxic effects of arsenate and arsenite in HaCat cells (immortalized human keratinocytes) in vitro by measuring cytotoxicity, DNA damage, depletion of glutathione and apoptotic and necrotic events. HaCat cells were treated with arsenate and arsenite (10 μM) for DNA damage detection using Comet assay and cytotoxicity (10, 60 and 100 μM) all measured at 24 hr. In some experiment arsenate or arsenite (10 μM) was added at the same time as BSO 10 μM for 24 hr, and GSH levels were measured by HPLC with fluorescence detection. Flow cytometry was used to investigate apoptotic and necrotic events following arsenate and arsenite (10 μM) treatment for 24 hr. Arsenate and arsenite at 60 and 100 μM, but not 10 μM, reduced the number of adherent viable cells with time. Therefore, DNA damage could only be measured at 10 μM as at higher concentrations the cells did not produce classical Comets but showed fragmentation. DNA damage was significantly (p < 0.001) increased in cells treated for Original Research Article Benhusein et al.; JAMPS, 22(12): 36-44, 2020; Article no.JAMPS. 64679 37 24 hr with 10 μM arsenate and arsenite compared to control. GSH levels were significantly increased in HaCat cells treated with10 μM arsenate and arsenite (p < 0.05, p < 0.001, respectively) compared to control. Cells treated with buthionine sulphoximine (BSO) at the same time as arsenate had increased GSH levels (p < 0.001), but arsenite and BSO did not increase cellular GSH. Arsenate and arsenite increased apoptosis, and arsenate increased necrosis, although none of the values reached statistical significance. Arsenite was more cytotoxic than arsenate. Arsenate and arsenite are known to produce oxidative stress involving ROS formation and depletion of glutathione. The increase in GSH levels at low doses of arsenate and arsenite, and by arsenate even in the presence of BSO.
A test of subjective security and post adoption consumption alternation related to M-payment system among expatriates in China

China, the second-largest economy in the world, has been an eye-catching destination for several foreigners who wish to live and study there. As they are beneficiaries of the Chinese advanced digital payment system, subjective security in using the mobile payment system and the subsequent change in their consumption intention has been a behavioral concern that perplexes scholars. Using SEM, we integrated the technology acceptance model (TAM) with two Subjective security Constructs (perceived confidentiality and perceived trustworthiness) to determine their impact on the system's adoption intention. At the same time, we evaluated the change in consumption intention using one factor (post-adoption consumption intention). A self-administered questionnaire based on prior literature was developed, and a total of samples of 260 foreigners who are extensive users of mobile payment were engaged. The study revealed that once again, TAM's model constructs (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) are dominant factors of adoption intention. While one of the subjective security constructs (perceived trustworthiness) was found to be a significant decisive determinant factor, the other one (perceive confidentiality) was found to be a negative but insignificant factor in mobile payment adoption intention among the expatriates. Moreover, this study provides insight into the digital payment system and its impact on influencing consumption intention beyond adoption. Key words: Technology acceptance model (TAM), subjective security, consumption behavior, expatriates.
