Chronological and gechemical charcateristics of the Baixintan Ni-Cu deposit in Eastern Tianshan Mountains,Xinjiang,and their implications for Ni-Cu mineralization

The medium-sized Baixintan Ni-Cu deposit is located at northern Dacaotan fracture, Eastern Tianshan Mountains. The intrusion is emplaced in middle Ordovician Qiaganbulake Group, and the direct country rocks are dacite and tuff. The Baixintan deposit mainly consists of gabbro, olivine pyroxenite and wehrlite, with wehrlite being the main ore-bearing rock type. Orebodies are mostly in bedded or lenticular form. From the center outwards the basicity shows a decreasing trend. Zircon U-Pb La-ICP-MS age of plagioclase-bearing wehrlite is(277.9±2.6) Ma, suggesting Early Permian. With No. 24 exploration line as the dividing line,the Cu/Ni ratio of western orebody is higer than that of the eastern orebody. The values of Mg O and Fe OTshow positive correlation,and there is a negative relationship between Mg O and Si O2, Ca O and Ti O2. The m/f ratio is between 2.43 and 3.9, belonging to the iron series ultramafic rocks. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns show LREE enrichment and negative or no Eu anomaly. The rocks are enriched in LILE and depleted in HFSE(Nb, Ta). The fractionation crystallization/cumulation was dominated by olivine and pyroxenes in the process of magmatic evolution. The geochemical features of analyzed rocks indicate that the parental magma of the rocks experienced weak contamination by middle- lower crust components during its upward migration. The magma source was metasomatized by subduction fluid. The chronological and geochemical characteristics, together with regional evolution history of Earsten Tianshan area, indicate that the Baixintan Cu-Ni deposit might be the product of post-collision extension and mantle plume activities. There is still huge potential for Cu-Ni mineralization on the weatern side of the Huangshandong-Jingerquan-Tulargen Cu-Ni ore belt. The Dacaotan fracture may be another main structure which controls the mafic intrusion and the Ni-Cu deposit.
Determining factors of service priority in the risk classification of patients with chest pain.

OBJECTIVE To verify the determining factors of high priority in the risk classification and the outcomes of the care provided to adult patients with chest pain. METHOD Retrospective study, conducted at an emergency referral service of a public hospital in the interior of São Paulo State, analyzing the records of care performed in the risk classification in 181 medical records of patients with the symptom of chest pain, between August and November 2020. RESULTS Individuals were most males 98 (54.1%), with moderate pain 133 (73.5), high priority for care 135 (74.5%) and who sought the service spontaneously 139 (76.8%). Of those classified as high priority, 47 (34.8%) were referred to the emergency room and, of these, 27 (17.0%) remained hospitalized. Female gender (p=0.0198; OR=0.40; CI=0.189-0.866) was independently associated with high priority of care. CONCLUSION Despite the priority classification, few participants were referred to the emergency room and required hospitalization. Female gender was a protective factor in the risk classification as high priority.
Assessment of Knowledge, Perceptions, and Attitudes During the Global Mpox Outbreak in June 2022: A Cross-Sectional Study From the United Arab Emirates

Objectives: To examine knowledge, worry, anxiety, and vaccine acceptance for mpox among UAE adults. Methods: An online survey, advertised on academic and social media platform in June 2022 collected data from 959 participants (aged 18 and above) on mpox beliefs, risks, knowledge, worry, anxiety, COVID-19 infection, vaccination, and willingness to receive the mpox vaccine. Bivariate and logistic regression analysis identified associations and predictors between variables. Results: 56% had optimal knowledge of mpox transmission and symptoms. 54% were worried, and 27% experienced anxiety related to the outbreak. Knowledge scores were higher among women, healthcare workers, and those with reliable information sources. High perceived infection risk, changes in precautionary measures, and belief in difficult treatment predicted more worry and anxiety. Higher worry and two or more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine predicted higher likelihood of taking the mpox vaccine. Conclusion: The UAE population showed low knowledge and high worry and anxiety during the global mpox outbreak. Increasing public awareness through targeted educational campaigns is vital. Promoting better understanding of infectious diseases, addressing concerns, and encouraging vaccine uptake can prepare for future outbreaks.
Lack of Self-confidence in Speaking English language Fluently of English Language Teachers at Public Basic Schools in Erbil

This research investigates the pivotal role of self-confidence in fostering success in acquiring a second language, with a specific emphasis on the proficiency in the English language exhibited by elementary school English teachers in Erbil, Kurdistan. The study seeks to identify the impediments that hinder language educators from attaining fluency in spoken English and delves into the ways in which self-confidence exerts influence over their journey in language acquisition. Employing a quantitative research approach, a questionnaire was administered to a cohort of 41 elementary school English teachers hailing from diverse backgrounds and representing 41 distinct public schools during the academic year of 2021. The analysis of the data hinged on Likert scales applied to assess various variables, ultimately revealing several noteworthy barriers. These barriers encompassed a dearth of motivation, the practice of code-switching between Kurdish and English in classroom communication, inadequate opportunities for English language practice, both within and outside the classroom setting, alongside challenges linked to grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
The Link between the Perception of Animal Welfare and the Emotional Response to Pictures of Farm Animals Kept in Intensive and Extensive Husbandry Systems: An Italian Survey

Simple Summary The number of animals bred to keep up with the increasing demand for animal food products is steadily growing. Different husbandry systems often guarantee different animal welfare standards, which may condition people’s choices as animal product consumers. In this study, we explored people’s emotional responses toward pictures of farm animals (cows, pigs, chickens, and rabbits) kept in intensive and extensive husbandry systems and how it related to their perception of animal welfare as well as their food choices. A total of 835 respondents completed the questionnaire. As expected, pictures of animals in intensive systems elicited negative emotions, especially for pigs and rabbits, whereas pictures of extensive systems, elicited positive emotions, especially for chickens. Intensive systems were perceived to guarantee lower animal welfare levels. Regardless of the husbandry system, cows were perceived to have the highest welfare levels. Most importantly, the quality of the participants’ emotional responses was positively associated with the perception of animal welfare and negatively associated with the importance given to welfare when purchasing animal products. Furthermore, several demographic factors, namely gender, education, household composition, living area, pet ownership, and eating habits were found to affect the participants’ emotional response to farm animal pictures. Abstract As livestock production grows to satisfy the global demand for animal products, understanding public attitudes towards different husbandry systems becomes essential for both animal welfare and socio-economic reasons. This study aimed to investigate people’s emotional responses toward pictures of farm animals kept in intensive and extensive husbandry systems, their perception of animal welfare, and their choices as animal product consumers. A questionnaire that included demographic questions and photos of cows, pigs, chickens, and rabbits in both intensive and extensive systems was distributed electronically and physically and completed by 835 respondents. Photos of animals in intensive systems elicited more negative emotions, especially for pigs and rabbits (p < 0.05), as opposed to extensive systems, which elicited more positive emotions, especially for chickens (p < 0.001). Higher welfare levels were perceived for extensively farmed animals (p < 0.001) and for cattle compared to all other species, regardless of the husbandry system (p < 0.001). The quality of the emotional response was positively associated with welfare perception (p < 0.001) and negatively associated with the importance given to welfare when purchasing animal products (p < 0.001). Finally, the emotional response was found to be affected by gender, education, household composition, living area, pet ownership, and eating habits. The implications and limitations of these findings are discussed.
Efficient Calibration of Colocated MIMO Radar

Measurement-based calibration with a complete MIMO radar system is beneficial due to all imperfections being considered simultaneously. However, if high performance is needed, the number of required calibration measurements escalates with an increasing number of antenna elements. This paper presents a calibration technique that reduces the number of measurements required to obtain adequate calibration coefficients, compensating for all system imperfections that can be described in matrix form. This includes channel imbalance and mutual coupling under the assumption of minimum scattering antennas. The proposed technique estimates the calibration matrix for the transmit and receive array separately, by canceling out the element radiation pattern and effects from the other array through normalization. In this way, the computational complexity and the risk of local convergence is reduced. Using prior knowledge of the expected mutual coupling, the number of equations in the nonlinear least-squares can be further reduced without affecting the calibration performance. Besides validation with a simulated model, the calibration technique is applied to an eight-by-eight MIMO radar system.
The Shifting Landscape of p53abn Endometrial Cancers: A Review of the Prognostic and Predictive Impact and Current Therapeutic Directions

The major stepping stone laid towards the identification of high-risk endometrial cancers was made by the Cancer Genome Atlas in 2013 when the four distinct molecular subtypes were initially described. This improved risk stratification for women with endometrial cancer and ignited a major interest which led to further research on the prognostic and predictive value of molecular subtyping. Through the elaboration of ProMisE, molecular risk assignment using surrogate markers became practical and accessible to most pathology laboratories. The p53abn molecular subtype of endometrial cancer is responsible for the worst outcomes. This review aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of these aggressive ECs, summarizing up-to-date literature regarding the prognostic and predictive implications, as well as present and future treatment directions.
Influence of green transformational leadership on the workplace pro-environment behavior

Today, environmental problems are worsening, greenhouse gas emissions are increasing, and natural resources are depleting. Solving these problems requires the efforts of everyone in the organization. This study aims to analyze the impact of green transformational leadership on pro-environmental behavior in the workplace. Specifically, the main hypothesis is that green transformational leadership positively influences workplace pro-environment behavior. Two other pathways are also proposed. The relationship can be mediated through green mindfulness and green self-efficacy. The method used in this study is a questionnaire, and data were collected from 163 respondents who work for the Electricity Generation Authority of Thailand. An integrated model containing the hypothesized structure was then tested with structural equation modeling. The results showed that green transformational leadership positively impacted workplace pro-environment behaviors and that this relationship was mediated by green mindfulness. However, green self-efficacy did not mediate between green transformational leadership and workplace pro-environment behavior as there was no relationship between self-efficacy and workplace pro-environment behavior. Rather, green self-efficacy influences workplace pro-environment behavior through green mindfulness. The revised model provides some practical implications for corporations that intend to promote workplace pro-environment behavior. First, green transformational leadership serves as an important factor as it has both direct and indirect impacts on workplace pro-environment behavior. Second, green mindfulness is an important mediator for two indirect effects upon workplace pro-environment behavior. These two factors are key in motivating staff members to work environmentally.
Targeting Autophagy, Apoptosis, and Oxidative Perturbations with Dapagliflozin Mitigates Cadmium-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction in Rats

Cognitive decline and Alzheimer-like neuropathology are common manifestations of cadmium toxicity. Thanks to its antioxidant/anti-apoptotic features, dapagliflozin has demonstrated promising neuroprotective actions. However, its effect on cadmium-induced neurotoxicity is lacking. The present work aimed to examine whether dapagliflozin could protect rats from cadmium-evoked cognitive decline. In this study, the behavioral disturbances and hippocampal biomolecular alterations were studied after receiving dapagliflozin. Herein, cadmium-induced memory/learning decline was rescued in the Morris water maze, novel object recognition task, and Y-shaped maze by dapagliflozin. Meanwhile, the hippocampal histopathological abnormalities were mitigated. The molecular mechanisms revealed that dapagliflozin lowered hippocampal expression of p-tau and Aβ42 neurotoxic proteins while augmenting acetylcholine. The cognitive enhancement was triggered by hippocampal autophagy stimulation, as indicated by decreased SQSTM-1/p62 and Beclin 1 upregulation. Meanwhile, a decrease in p-mTOR/total mTOR and an increase in p-AMPK/total AMPK ratio were observed in response to dapagliflozin, reflecting AMPK/mTOR cascade stimulation. Dapagliflozin, on the other hand, dampened the pro-apoptotic processes in the hippocampus by downregulating Bax, upregulating Bcl-2, and inactivating GSK-3β. The hippocampal oxidative insult was mitigated by dapagliflozin as seen by lipid peroxide lowering, antioxidants augmentation, and SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway activation. In conclusion, dapagliflozin’s promising neuroprotection was triggered by its pro-autophagic, anti-apoptotic, and antioxidant properties.
Macronutrient Fertilization and Cadmium Absorption in Two Cocoa Clones

Soil Cd is absorbed by roots and accumulated in cocoa plants, which represents a problem in the commercialization of beans. In order to evaluate whether the exogenous application of macronutrients (N, N-P, N-P-K, N-P-K-S, N-P-K-S-Mg, and N-P-K-S-Mg-Ca) mitigates the absorption, translocation, and accumulation of Cd in plants, soil pH and electric conductivity, dry root and shoot biomass, leaf gas exchange, chlorophyll content, and macronutrient bioaccumulation were evaluated in two cocoa clones (CCN-51 and EET-103) grown in a greenhouse. An increase in macronutrients gradually increased the extraction capacity of Cd in both clones, with the highest Cd values being obtained with the application of N-P-K-S-Mg-Ca. Macronutrient fertilization did not affect leaf gas exchange; however, it caused significant reductions of 30, 40, and 60% in chlorophyll content, shoot, and root dry biomass, respectively. The greatest translocation of Cd from the root to the shoot was obtained with treatments that included N in clone EET-103 and Ca in clone CCN-51. Fertilization with macronutrients did not decrease the absorption and accumulation of Cd in the cocoa seedlings, because a greater removal force of Cd from the adsorption complex towards the soil solution was caused by the exogenous application of Ca and Mg and an increase in soil acidity.
TIDAL PRISM-INLET AREA RELATIONS FOR SMALL TIDAL INLETS

Fourteen tidal inlets within the lower Chesapeake Bay were studied to examine whether significant differences existed in their hydraulic behavior relative to the larger oceanic inlets hitherto studied. Measurements included simultaneous external and internal tides, gaging of discharge through a tidal cycle, measurements of inlet geometry, and basin area. The results indicate that: a. ) smaller inlets (A,< 100 m ) depart from the relationship between inlet throat area and tidal prism developed for oceanic inlets; b. ) examination of inlet width versus depth indicates the departure from ocean inlet geometry occurs at Ac values between 100 and 500 m ; c. ) the maximum velocity in smaller inlets is significantly less than oceanic inlets (-0.35 vs 1.0 m/s); d. ) tidal phase lags and tidal range ratio were generally equal. However, for conditions of significant tide range reduction, the low water phase lags more closely approximated the tide range ratio.
Generic strategies: A Driver for Firms Competitiveness in Nigerian Fast Moving Consumers Goods (FMCGs) Sector

Competitiveness has become one of the objectives of firms in today’s world especially in consumer goods sector. Every firm wants to have a reasonable share in the market to achieve specific firm goals which competitiveness is part of. To achieve this objective, consumers goods firms need to adopt appropriate strategies. Thus, the need to see how Porter generic strategies could drive competitiveness strength of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FCMB) in Nigeria. The study employed survey research design and primary source of data collection via questionnaire as well as multiple sampling techniques (simple and stratified). Simple regression was utilized as data analytical tool and it was found that differentiation and focus strategies have significant effect on FMCGs firms competitiveness. The study concluded that generic strategies (differentiation and focus) are determinants for firms competitiveness in FMCGs sector. It was therefore recommended that FMCGs firms should continue to deploy differentiation and focus strategies to achieve their competitive objectives.
Simultaneous study of the source, path, and site effects on strong ground motion during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake: A preliminary result on pervasive nonlinear site effects

We considered the effects of source, propagation path, and local site conditions on strong ground motion from the Loma Prieta earthquake in the following steps. First, the local site effect was removed from the strong motion records applying the weak-motion amplification factors estimated from nearby stations of USGS regional network using the coda method. Then, we confirmed the approximate validity of the 1/ R law of geometrical spreading factor for the crustal model applicable to the region, and we determined the attenuation parameter Q ( f ) and source spectrum S ( f ) empirically from the site-effect — corrected spectral amplitude. Both Q ( f ) and S ( f ) are consistent with the results obtained earlier for major California earthquakes. We then synthesized the time history of ground acceleration by applying the stochastic simulation technique. The agreement between the observed and predicted records was good for duration and spectral content. We found, however, a strong systematic discrepancy with regard to peak acceleration; namely, for distances less than 50 km, the predicted peak acceleration consistently overestimated the observed for sediment sites and underestimated it for the Franciscan formation sites. Since the above systematic discrepancy applies to all the available stations within about 50 km from the hypocenter, it is unlikely that the effect is due to the radiation pattern, near-source structure, or topography. It appears that the strong difference in the amplification factor between the Franciscan and the sediment sites observed for weak motion disappears at acceleration levels higher than about 0.1 to 0.3 g . If this is due to the nonlinear response of the sediment sites, it is in the range expected from geotechnical engineering studies.
Analysis of ANRIL Isoforms and Key Genes in Patients with Severe Coronary Artery Disease

ANRIL (Antisense Noncoding RNA in the INK4 Locus), also named CDKN2B-AS1, is a long non-coding RNA with outstanding functions that regulates genes involved in atherosclerosis development. ANRIL genotypes and the expression of linear and circular isoforms have been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). The CDKN2A and the CDKN2B genes at the CDKN2A/B locus encode the Cyclin-Dependent Kinase inhibitor protein (CDKI) p16INK4a and the p53 regulatory protein p14ARF, which are involved in cell cycle regulation, aging, senescence, and apoptosis. Abnormal ANRIL expression regulates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene expression, and upregulated Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) promotes angiogenesis by activating the NF-κB signaling pathway. Here, we explored associations between determinations of the linear, circular, and linear-to-circular ANRIL gene expression ratio, CDKN2A, VEGF and its receptor kinase insert domain-containing receptor (KDR) and cardiovascular risk factors and all-cause mortality in high-risk coronary patients before they undergo coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG). We found that the expression of ANRIL isoforms may help in the prediction of CAD outcomes. Linear isoforms were correlated with a worse cardiovascular risk profile while the expression of circular isoforms of ANRIL correlated with a decrease in oxidative stress. However, the determination of the linear versus circular ratio of ANRIL did not report additional information to that determined by the evaluation of individual isoforms. Although the expressions of the VEFG and KDR genes correlated with a decrease in oxidative stress, in binary logistic regression analysis it was observed that only the expression of linear isoforms of ANRIL and VEGF significantly contributed to the prediction of the number of surgical revascularizations.
Drought Remote Sensing Monitoring Based on the Surface Water Content Index(SWCI) Method

Soil Moisture and Vegetation Growth are the most important and direct index in drought monitoring,and the spectral interpretation of vegetation and soil are serious factors in the judgment of drought degree.Based on the spectral character of water,recently,a new model of Surface Water Content Index(SWCI) has been put forward,and the index is more sensitive to the surface water content,and suit for regional drought monitoring.The comparative analysis showed that SWCI is more sensitive than NDVI to monitoring surface soil water content,it is available in real-time soil drought monitoring.
