The Origin and Habitat of Hydrocarbons of the Polish and Ukrainian Parts of the Carpathian Province

Multiple petroleum systems occurring in different tectonic elements of the Polish and Ukrainian parts of the Flysch Carpathians, their foredeep, and the Paleozoic–Mesozoic basement have been identified and characterized using various geochemical methods. The Carpathian flysch sequence, containing the main oil fields in the area, contains two main potential source rock intervals: the Early Cretaceous and Oligocene. The Oligocene Menilite shales, which are widespread in the Polish and Ukrainian parts of the Carpathian flysch belt, contain high-quality source rocks, with mainly type II kerogen and high petroleum potential. A suitable tectonic position in several units of the flysch belt, especially in its frontal nappes of the Ukrainian part, provided the maturation level of this series, corresponding to different parts of the oil window. Modeling of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion in Menilite rocks shows that these processes are related mainly to Miocene overthrusting. Geochemical studies of oils from different fields occurring in the flysch sequence show that they belong to the same family. The presence of oleanane probably indicates that they have been generated from Menilite rocks. Lower Cretaceous organic-rich rocks, which contain mainly type II and III kerogen with good petroleum potential and a maturation level corresponding to the oil window, should be considered as another important potential source rock sequence in both the Polish and Ukrainian Carpathian flysch belt. The autochthonous Miocene nonfolded molasse sequence contains most of the gas fields in the Polish and Ukrainian Carpathian Foredeep. Geochemical studies of Badenian and Sarmatian strata show that they contain sufficient amounts of immature terrestrial organic matter, which generated methane-rich microbial gases. Molecular and isotopic compositions of natural gases from Miocene reservoirs confirm that they were produced during microbial carbon dioxide reduction. Molecular and stable isotope compositions of gases from Paleozoic–Mesozoic reservoirs of the Polish part of the basement show that they were generated by both microbial and thermogenic processes. Gas from the Lachowice field in Devonian rocks is a typical nonassociated thermogenic gas, generated from type III kerogen with a high degree of maturation. This gas probably migrated from Carboniferous source rocks. The oils accumulated in Upper Cretaceous and Upper Jurassic reservoirs in the Polish part and, southeast of the Ukrainian part of the basement, contain oleanane and other specific biomarkers and belong to the same geochemical family. They were probably generated from the Oligocene flysch rocks and Middle Jurassic beds.

Radio as a Tool for Rural Development in Nigeria: Prospects and Challenges

This study set out to examine the place of radio in rural development in Nigeria. The rationale behind the study is to find out the prospects and challenges of using radio as a tool for rural development in Nigeria. Communication generally, has a very crucial role to play in bringing about positive attitudinal change. The first requirement for the development of an information society that enables the effective use of the radio is wide spread access to the radio set and radio programmes. Radio plays a very significant role in the development of the rural and urban areas of any society. Several
Jomon Culture and the peopling of the Japanese archipelago: advancements in the fields of morphometrics and ancient DNA

Archaeological investigation of the Jomon Culture is extensive and well supported among the Japanese public. The distinct pottery that characterizes the Jomon has been well documented and physical anthropological description of skeletal remains in Japan has a long and extensive history. However, questions remain of Jomon peoples origins, biological contribution to modern Japanese and biological relationship to the agriculturalist people associated with the Yayoi culture. Morphological analyses of Jomon skeletal material have suggested ambiguous origins and inter-regional heterogeneity has been observed based on craniofacial variation. Ancient DNA of skeletal remains associated with the Jomon Culture indicates possible distinct genetic lineages associated with various locations throughout greater East and Southeast Asia. Here, we review the relevance of using ancient DNA and morphometrics to answer some of the above questions and challenge models based on the assumption that archaeological culture is equal to a shared biological history. Recent literature is reviewed and summarized in order to give the reader an idea of how basic assumptions of biological ancestry can be questioned using these new data. We end our discussion by suggesting further avenues of study and prospective research questions that could be asked in light of these new technologies.
The relationship between internet addiction and risk of suboptimal health status among Chinese college students

Internet addiction (IA) is a prevalent trend among college students, and the relationship between severe IA and poor health status among college students has been well established. However, whether IA is associated with suboptimal health status (SHS) in college students is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between IA and SHS risk in Chinese college students. We conducted a cross-sectional study to assess whether IA was related to SHS risk in 2265 college students in Shenyang, China. SHS was assessed using the Suboptimal Health Status Questionnaire with a cutoff score of ≥35 to document SHS. IA was assessed using the validated 20-item Young’s Internet Addiction Test with cutoff scores of 31–49 and 50–100 for mile and moderate-to-severe cases, respectively. The prevalence rate of SHS was 54.0%. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the IA categories were positively related to a higher risk of SHS. The odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for SHS across IA categories were 1.00, 7.66 (6.00, 9.78), and 27.93 (20.95, 37.24) (P for trend: <.001) after adjusting for multiple confounding factors. This is the first cross-sectional study to demonstrate that IA is independently associated with SHS. This finding suggests that IA is a negative risk factor for SHS.
Mola ramsayi (Southern sunfish) : a new record from Indian waters

A southern sunfish, Mola ramsayi, belonging to family Molidae, hitherto not reported from Indian waters, was noticed among mechanized trawlnet catches landed at Chennai Fisheries Harbour on 17.08. 2006. It was recorded earlier from Australian, South Africa and English waters only. This male speciemen measured 835 mm, weighing 10.5 kg.
Time Management: Procrastination Tendency in Individual and Collaborative Tasks

Procrastination is the tendency to postpone an activity under one's control to the last possible minute, or even not to perform it at all. This study examines procrastination regarding completion of various parts of a task, each of which has a different deadline. Whereas from an attention economy perspective it may be better to complete all the parts at the earliest deadline, the human tendency to procrastinate results in a delay of the parts that have a later deadline. Data was collected at an online discussion board about the behavior of 120 MBA students. Their assignment included an individual part with a specific deadline for each student and a collaborative part that the students had to complete by the end of the semester. The findings suggest that usually students tended to perform their individual task on time, even when the assignment was voluntary. However, the collaborative part of the assignment was delayed to the last three weeks of the semester when the assignment was compulsory and was not completed at all when it was voluntary. The paper discusses the implications of the findings regarding effective time management of collaborative tasks in online environments.
Editorial time management: Peer review dates and other key dates of Spanish Communication journals

The main objective of this study was to identify editorial practices related to time management in Spanish Communication journals and determine whether their time management is homogeneous, as well as to evaluate which journals are more agile, discover the differences between general and special issues, and identify practices that could streamline the publication process. To this end, we worked with an exploratory‐type methodology focused on content analysis. The sample analysed included 1,581 articles published in 2021 by the 62 Communication journals included in the Índice Dialnet de Revistas (IDR) 2020, differentiating between those published in general and special issues, with the aim of focusing attention on the time elapsed from when journals receive articles until their final publication. The results reveal little homogeneity in policies regarding information on dates and confirms average times of more than 6 months for the duration of the process, with the publication process for special issues being more agile. The strength of this work lies in the demonstration of the need to work on common policies that enable the publication process to be streamlined while accelerating the availability of research results for the benefit of academia as well as society.
Preliminary treatments of Browntop and effect on performance indices, physical and geometrical properties of grain

In the present study Browntop (BT) millet was subjected to three different treatments viz., mechanical stress, hydrothermal treatment and combined treatment (mechanical and hydrothermal) to enhance the dehulling efficiency and studied for its performance indices and its impact on physical, grain dimensions and therefore geometrical dimensions. Different treatments on grain before dehulling has shown significant improvement in the dehulling index up to 93%, coefficient of dehulling up to 96.88 %, and overall dehulling efficiency up to 96.73% compared to control. Principal axial dimensions, physical properties, and geometrical parameters of the produce were calculated to evaluate the grain vulnerability to the above treatments. Bulk Density and true density resulted in no significant difference between control and treated samples of browntop millet whereas porosity had significant difference. Principal dimensions such as length, width and thickness had not differed significantly in browntop millet. Geometric dimensions of browntop millet such as GMD, AMD, slenderness ratio, aspect ratio, sphericity, surface area and volume were evaluated and had no significant difference for control and treated samples except for volume of the grain(p<0.01). Thus the study revealed that preliminary treatments had shown significant impact on dehulling efficiency without disrupting physical properties, grain dimensions and geometric parameters
Geographies of terror, harvest of fear: chiefs, local administration and politics in Zimbabwe in the 2000s

ABSTRACT The emergence of the opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change, in 1999 radically reconfigured Zimbabwe's political landscape. MDC greatly challenged the electoral dominance the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front had enjoyed since independence in 1980. As literature on Zimbabwe's ‘crisis' has emphasised, throughout the 2000s ZANU-PF was predominantly preoccupied with repelling this challenge. Central to these efforts were violence and a patronage system involving all state institutions. However, the position of chieftaincy in the new politics has suffered scholarly neglect. This article examines how the government enlisted chiefs and lower-level traditional leaders, through intimidation and patronage networks, in its attempts to make rural areas an exclusively ZANU-PF vote bank. It utilises interviews, newspapers and Hansard, among other publicly available material, to argue that MDC’s hegemonic threat forced ZANU-PF to turn to the customary capital of the hitherto neglected chiefs, and that the consequent relationship became an impediment to democracy in Zimbabwe.
DREADLOCKS: THE HAIR AESTHETICS OF CULTURAL RESISTANCE AND COLLECTIVE IDENTITY FORMATION*

†Growing dreadlocks, a hair practice usually associated with the Rastafarian movement, has become increasingly popular among people of African descent globally. In concert with other "makers," dreadlocks became symbolic accompaniment to oppositional collective identities associated with the African liberation/Black Power movements. Its spread among African liberationists, womanists, radical artists of African descent reflects counterhegemonic politics. From a combined new social movement and African cultural studies perspective, this research traces the sociopolitical and historical phases of "locking. " On the microsociological level, the role that dreadlocks are perceived as playing along three main dimensions of collective identity formation: boundary demarcation, consciousness and negotiation, are explored. The study combines data from fifty-two dreadlocked persons’ responses in surveys, interviews, and a focus group with historical documents and sources. Dreadlocks, as contemporary hair aesthetics, can be considered an example of culturally contextualized everyday resistance. Growing dreadlocks, a hair practice usually associated with the Rastafarian movement, has become increasingly popular among people of African descent globally. Dreadlocks were adopted by Rastafarians in the 1950s and 1960s as symbolic of the African nationalist, anticolonial aspects of their philosophy. The practice of "dreading" spread into other areas of the African diaspora beginning in the mid 1970s and over the last few decades has gone from being worn by a relatively small or "radical fringe" segment to being adopted by a broader cross-section of the African diasporan community (i.e., people of African descent born in the Americas, United Kingdom, and the Caribbean). "Dreading" consists of letting naturally kinky/curly hair knit into strands that elongate to varying lengths. In concert with other "markers," dreadlocks became symbolic accompaniment to collective identities associated with the African liberation and other counterhegemonic social resistance movements. It's spread among liberationists, womanists, and radical artists of African descent accompanied the transformation of counterhegemonic liberation politics. From a new social movement and African cultural studies perspective, dreadlocks as contemporary hair aesthetics can be considered an example of culturally contextualized everyday resistance. This research explores the relationship between dreadlocks and resistance movements in the contemporary African diaspora. Specifically, dreadlocks accompany various oppositional collective identities that manipulate cultural aesthetics and link individuals to counterhegemonic social movements. This study views the cultural resistance and social movement implications of dreadlocks on both macro- and microsociological levels. It begins by examining the sociohistoric
A Norian Lagerpetid Dinosauromorph from the Quebrada Del Barro Formation, Northwestern Argentina

Abstract. The early evolution of Ornithodira —the clade including pterosaurs and dinosaurs— is poorly known. Until a decade ago, the basal radiation of Dinosauromorpha, the clade including dinosaurs and birds, was poorly understood because of the poor fossil record restricted to specimens known from the Ladinian Chañares Formation in Argentina. Over the last years the discovery of several non-dinosaurian dinosauromorphs dramatically expanded this record and also demonstrated that this group —previously restricted to de Middle Triassic— survived at least well into the Norian. Although Norian non-dinosaurian dinosauromorphs have been reported from several regions around the world, the only known Norian non-dinosauriform dinosauromorphs —Dromomeron romeri Irmis, Nesbitt, Padian, Smith, Turner, Woody, and Downs and Dromomeron gregorii Nesbitt, Irmis, Parker, Smith, Turner, and Rowe— come from North America. We report here the first record from the Southern Hemisphere of a non-dinosauriform dinosauromorph, Dromomeron gigas sp. nov., from the Norian Quebrada del Barro Formation, northwestern Argentina. A phylogenetic analysis recovers Dromomeron gigas nested into the monophyletic group Lagerpetidae, and as the sister taxon to Dromomeron romeri. The inclusion of D. gigas within Lagerpetidae suggests that body size increased in this lineage over time, as was previously demonstrated for Dinosauriformes as a whole, and that lagerpetids reached a larger size than previously thought. Finally, the new finding provides new information on the basal radiation of Dinosauromorpha constituting the first record of a Norian association of dinosaurs with non-dinosauriform dinosauromorphs outside North America.
Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy by delineations on cT-based simulation in different respiratory phases for the treatment of senile patients with non-small cell lung cancer

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the application of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on computed tomography (CT) simulations in different respiratory phases. Methods: A total of 64 patients aged . 70 years old with NSCLC were treated by 3D-CRT using CT images in different respiratory phases. The gross tumor volumes (GTVs) at the end of inspiration and end of expiration were combined to obtain the total GTV, which was close to the motional range of tumors during respiration, and no additional expansion of the clinical target volume (CTAV) to planning target volume (PTV) (CTAV:PTV) was included during the recording of respiratory movements. Patients were also planned according to the classic 3D-CRT approach. Efficacy, prognostic factors, and side effects were evaluated. Results: Compared with the classic approach, the average PTV was 18.9% lower (median: 17.3%), and the average lung volume receiving a prescribed dose for a tumor was 22.4% lower (median: 20.9%). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were 70.6%, 54.9%, and 29.4%, respectively, with an overall tumor response rate of 79.7%. The Karnofsky performance status and N stage were independent prognostic factors, whereas age was not. Conclusion: Without affecting therapeutic effects, CT simulations in different respiratory phases were well-tolerated in elderly patients with NSCLC, could effectively reduce PTV, and could improve the quality of life.
11 16 mobile: examining mobile phone and ICT use amongst children aged 11 to 16

This study explores and examines the use of mobile phones and other ICT by children aged 11 –16. It uses newly obtained research data from around 90 children in this age group. Sixty seven kept 24hour diaries; some of the diarists participated with others in group discussion and interviews. Comparing and contrasting the material gathered with published work on adults and children, this study identifies how much and for what the respondents used their mobile phones and other ICT. Analysis of this data reveals common social practices within this age group and with adult users of mobile phones. It also finds them to be highly price sensitive and to have developed communication strategies that meant the mobile phone use was functional with chitchat kept until they got home and done using their home phone and PC. Never-the-less the mobile phone is a key feature in the maturation of 11 to16 year olds being used by them as a symbol for the ‘coming of age’ and by their parents as a means of contributing to managing the social and economic development of their children.
Influence of agricultural lime on soil properties and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield on acidic soils of Uasin Gishu county, Kenya.

A study was carried out to investigate the influence of agricultural lime (21% CaO) from Koru, Kisumu on soil properties and wheat yield on acidic soils of Uasin Gishu county. Field trials were conducted at Chepkoilel University College farm and in Kipsangui area of Uasin Gishu county. Soils were analyzed to determine their pH, available P and other nutrient levels before treatment application. The experiment was a split plot arrangement with two wheat varieties as the main plots and the lime treatments as the subplots. The two varieties compared were ‘Njoro BW 2’ and ‘KS Mwamba’ characterized as tolerant and moderate tolerant to soil acidity, respectively. Phosphorus and nitrogen were applied as a blanket treatment at the rates of 40 kg P 205 /ha and 46 kg N/ha respectively. Lime was applied at the rates of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 t/ha. Soils from the two sites were acidic with low to
Pivotal Advance: Pharmacological manipulation of inflammation resolution during spontaneously resolving tissue neutrophilia in the zebrafish

Zebrafish are a unique model for pharmacological manipulation of physiological processes such as inflammation; they are small and permeable to many small molecular compounds, and being transparent, they permit the visualization and quantitation of the inflammatory response by observation of transgenically labeled inflammatory cell populations. Using a transgenic line specifically labeling neutrophils in vivo (mpx:GFP), we studied the effects of a range of pharmacological agents on the resolution of inflammation in vivo. These agents were selected for their ability to modulate neutrophil function and lifespan in human neutrophils in vitro. Agents delaying neutrophil apoptosis (LPS, dbcAMP, and several caspase inhibitors) all lead to a delay in resolution of neutrophilic inflammation. Reciprocally, pyocyanin and roscovitine (inducers of neutrophil apoptosis) lead to reduced neutrophil numbers. The occurrence of apoptosis was observed by time‐lapse analysis and confirmed by dual staining for neutrophil‐specific mpx activity (TSA staining) and an apoptotic marker (TUNEL). During inflammation, macrophages follow neutrophils into the inflamed site, and TUNEL/TSA dual‐positive material can be demonstrated within macrophages, consistent with their uptake of apoptotic neutrophils. This model has several advantages over mammalian models and lends itself to the study of pharmaceutical agents modulating inflammation.
