Widening participation between 2001 and 2021: A systematic literature review and research agenda
Authors: Tham Aaron , Raciti Maria , Dale Joshua
Published: August 2023

Widening participation has been a vehicle to facilitate access and support towards the successful completion of university studies for underrepresented groups who are less likely to pursue higher education. Yet, despite its widely accepted importance and adoption across countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom, studies to date remain largely fragmented – often employed through the lens of a single institution, or a particular priority group. Amidst this backdrop, universities and other higher education providers are increasingly probed as to their role in supporting social capital mobility, of which widening participation plays a vital component in delivering wider societal imperatives. In addition, the COVID-19 effect has worsened university participation and completion rates, as the global pandemic has placed vulnerable students (often those involved in widening participation initiatives) in more precocious conditions than ever before. Nevertheless, the purpose of this paper is to conduct a systematic literature review comprising 102 journal articles that derive 15 meta-themes to provide a timely introspection of widening participation, show key trends over time, and chart future areas of investigation for scholars and practitioners in this space.
Supporting student wellbeing as an academic language and learning advisor: Challenges and opportunities
Authors: Gurney Laura , Grossi Vittoria
Published: August 2023

The provision of academic language and learning (ALL) support to undergraduate and postgraduate students has been a staple across higher education institutions in Australia and New Zealand for some time. However, research has established that there are multiple challenges inherent to working across institutional spaces in the ways that ALL staff do. This has included ambiguity about the parameters of their roles and how they connect with staff and students as support professionals. Furthermore, how advisors respond to student wellbeing as part of the support they offer, and how their own wellbeing is accounted for at work, are not well understood. We draw on data from two recent surveys to explore how ALL advisors in Australia and New Zealand understand and respond to student wellbeing within their practice, how ALL work has been affected by COVID-19, advisors’ needs for support, and the views of managers in relation to these matters. The participants highlighted tensions related to student wellbeing, staff wellbeing, and academic support, which have either been brought about or intensified by the pandemic. As we move towards living with the pandemic, these tensions will need to be addressed by higher education institutions.

Plagiarism is a growing concern in Healthcare Sciences in the current digital era. Plagiarism threatens institutions’ integrity and academic reputation; therefore, it is essential to understand all contributing factors to eradicate unethical practices effectively. The study aimed to establish the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of plagiarism among Healthcare Science students at a selected higher education institution in Gauteng. A cross-sectional study was used, with a total population of 803 second to fourth-year students from the School of Healthcare Sciences, and 83 students completing the survey. Ethical clearance and approval (617/2021) were obtained from the ethics and research committee of a selected higher educational institution in Gauteng. An adapted Likert scale self-reported questionnaire was sent via a Google form link to the teaching platform with the consent form embedded. The statistical Package for Social Science was used to analyse demographic data descriptively, and Spearman’s rho test determined the correlation between study variables. Most students were female (94.0%) and non-native English speakers (71.1%). The majority (83.1%) of the students reported understanding the instances of plagiarism; however, approximately one-third (36.1%) were unable to identify specific instances correctly. Just over half (56.6%) of the students felt self-plagiarism should not be punishable. The correlation between the knowledge of plagiarism and negative attitudes towards plagiarism was found to be statistically significant (p=0.009). The results demonstrated low practice of plagiarism, possibly due to a lack of self-awareness. Therefore, continuous in-depth education on plagiarism and improved policies should be fostered to promote the integrity of future healthcare professionals.

Background: For anatomic total arthroscopic repair, cementless humeral fixation has recently gained popularity. However, few studies have compared clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes between cemented and press-fit humeral fixation, and none have performed follow-up for longer than 5 years. In this study, we compared long-term postoperative outcomes in patients receiving a cemented versus press-fit humeral stem anatomic arthroscopic repair.Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 169 shoulders that required primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). Shoulders were stratified by humeral stem fixation technique: cementation or press-fit. Data were collected pre- and postoperatively. Primary outcome measures included range of motion, patient reported outcomes, and radiographic measures.Results: One hundred thirty-eight cemented humeral stems and 31 press-fit stems were included. Significant improvements in range of motion were seen in all aTSA patients with no significant differences between final cemented and press-fit stems (forward elevation: P=0.12, external rotation: P=0.60, and internal rotation: P=0.77). Patient reported outcome metrics also exhibited sustained improvement through final follow-up. However, at final follow-up, the press-fit stem cohort had significantly better overall scores when compared to the cemented cohort (visual analog score: P=0.04, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon Score: P<0.01, Simple Shoulder Test score: P=0.03). Humeral radiolucency was noted in two cemented implants and one press-fit implant. No significant differences in implant survival were observed between the two cohorts (P=0.75).Conclusions: In this series, we found that irrespective of humeral fixation technique, aTSA significantly improves shoulder function. However, within this cohort, press-fit stems provided significantly better outcomes than cemented stems in terms of patient reported outcome scores.Level of evidence: III.

Objectives: To evaluate the long-term impact of zinc (Zn) supplementation on performance and Zn status biomarkers in sows and on whether this possible impact depends on housing conditions. Materials and methods: Six groups of sows were allotted to group housing on two different floor types during gestation. Within each group, sows were randomly allocated to one of three diets varying in the amount of Zn supplemented (0, 50, or 100 mg added Zn per kg diet; 50% ZnO:50% organic Zn) to a basal diet containing 46.6 and 128.9 mg Zn per kg during gestation and lactation, respectively. Blood was collected at days 0, 50, 108, and 143 of every cycle and analyzed for plasma Zn and copper and serum metallothionein (MT) concentrations. After slaughter, mineral concentrations of metacarpals, liver, and abaxial horn wall were determined. Results: Dietary Zn supplementation beyond basal dietary Zn concentrations did not influence serum MT concentrations (P = .77) and Zn concentrations in blood plasma (P = .13), liver (P = .54), bone (P = .26), and horn wall (P = .39). The 100-mg Zn per kg supplemented sows had lower bodyweight, body condition score, and backfat thickness (P < .001). The lack of impact of Zn supplementation may have been (partly) attributed to the unexpected high supply of Zn through premix in the lactation diet. Implications: Under these study conditions, commercially grown sows might not need Zn supplementation during gestation when their basal diet contains Zn with phytase.
Rethinking the role of humanitarian principles in armed conflict
Authors: Barber Martin , Bowden Mark
Published: August 2023

The international humanitarian system frequently acts as a substitute for the lack of political effort to bring armed conflicts to an end. As a result, humanitarian organizations often must contend with dilemmas that they are ill-equipped to resolve. This is particularly true in settings where belligerents prevent aid actors from operating in accordance with humanitarian principles – humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence. Current accountability practices within the international humanitarian system tend to focus on the targets of humanitarian organizations rather than on those affected by a conflict. Processes that utilize structured ethical decision-making frameworks could improve the decision-making capacity of humanitarian organizations and ensure that critical factors influencing possible outcomes are considered. This final paper of the Chatham House Sanguine Mirage project looks at how the international humanitarian system should respond to rejections of the humanitarian principles, the implementation of ethical decision-making processes and the development of better systems of accountability.

ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS NOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL: Concepções de um grupo de professoras pedagogas
Authors: Paz Giovanni Scataglia Botelho
Published: August 2023

A formação do pedagogo, profissional que leciona para a educação infantil e anos iniciais do ensino fundamental variou bastante ao longo dos anos, assim como os objetivos desse profissional para o mercado de trabalho. Paralelamente, o ensino de ciências e a chancela dessa como uma disciplina escolar também possuiu um histórico de mudanças, sempre atrelado e subordinado ao currículo que o contexto sócio-político do país demandava. Nesse sentido, investigou-se um grupo de professoras dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental que lecionam na rede pública municipal de São Paulo acerca de suas concepções sobre ciências e o seu ensino, por meio da aplicação de um questionário. Os resultados obtidos revelam que ainda existem lacunas formativas para lecionar ciências, o que acaba limitando as práticas e a forma como a ciência é apresentada para os educandos, assim como aprimoramentos nas estruturas curriculares para o ensino de ciências nos cursos de Pedagogia precisam ser realizados.

DISCUSSÕES SOBRE O ENSINO FINLANDÊS E SEUS “ECOS” NA PARAÍBA
Authors: Rodrigues Maria Adriana Farias
Published: August 2023

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar a organização curricular do Sistema Educacional Finlandês, realizando uma análise comparativa com o currículo brasileiro no tocante ao Ensino Médio. Segundo Salberg (2015), o Finnish Way é um modelo educacional baseado na confiança e nos aspectos culturais da Finlândia. Queiroz (2018) salienta que a organização curricular do Ensino Médio das Escolas Técnicas da Paraíba (ECIT’s) se assemelha ao modelo de ensino Médio adotado na Finlândia, principalmente as escolas vocacionais (vocational upper). Além disso, outras questões são debatidas, por exemplo, Ensino de Sociologia, Profissionalização do Professor e Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), esses assuntos são mobilizados para compreender de maneira mais abrangente o modelo adotado pela Finlândia, apresentando as similitudes e os distanciamentos. A metodologia aplicada ocorreu por intermédio de entrevistas estruturadas e semiestruturadas direcionadas ao professor Ivandro Batista Queiroz entre 2017 e 2018, o professor Ivandro participou do intercambio Gira Mundo na Finlândia, trazendo reflexões pertinentes sobre o modelo de ensino aplicado no país nórdico. Os resultados apontam que os distanciamentos entre o modelo finlandês e o brasileiro são maiores que as proximidades, isso ocorre em detrimento de características socioculturais, políticas e econômicas.

HIP HOP: Dialogando currículo, educação e elementos subjacentes ao movimento cultural
Authors: Santos Veronica de Souza
Published: August 2023

O texto que segue traz reflexões acerca do tratamento dado ao Movimento Cultural Hip Hop pela academia. Entende-se que o movimento ainda é massivamente tratado nos espaços legitimados seguindo uma narrativa superficial e apresentando espaçados trabalhos que discutam de maneira alargada e em profundidade o tema. Para isso, trazemos aspectos informacionais históricos que ainda são desconhecidos de muitos que se interessam pelo assunto. O desconhecimento da história do movimento permite que a disseminação de informações rasas e leva à ideia de que a cultura só se direciona à prática do entretenimento. Desmistificando isso, alcançamos a relação direta que o Hip Hop tem com a Educação, no momento em que ambos devem ser executados para atender ao mesmo fim; no entanto, ainda apresentam barreiras que sustentam e ratificam práticas preconceituosas. Por fim, propõe-se a necessidade de compreender o real espírito hip hop e fortalecer tal conhecimento para que a emancipação dos sujeitos sociais aconteça de maneira coletiva.

BASE NACIONAL CURRICULAR COMUM E O SUJEITO QUE SE PRETENDE FORMAR
Authors: Carmo Maria Virginia Freire dos Santos , Rezende Marize Pinho , Brito Eliana Póvoas Pereira Estrela
Published: August 2023

Este trabalho propõe uma reflexão inicial sobre a noção de sujeito disseminada pelos textos formais que constituem a Base Nacional Curricular Comum (BNCC), enquanto principal documento que norteia os currículos escolares hoje. Parte do entendimento de que, uma política curricular que busca controlar a produção de sentidos no espaço da escola, traga como pressuposto a ideia de sujeito (cidadão) que se apresenta como um modelo representacional a ser seguido/forjado como um molde único. Com base nos estudos de Hall (1997), Macedo (2006) e Lopes e Macedo (2011), discutimos a impraticabilidade de uma política curricular que seja capaz de cercear todo o campo do sentido, pois os sentidos são livres e incontroláveis. Conclui que a BNCC por mais que se autoproclame como um dispositivo normalizador das práticas docentes, seus objetivos estão fadados ao insucesso, posto a impossibilidade de impedir o fluxo livre dos sentidos.
Efeitos do estigma na permanência da Hanseníase
Authors: Alvarenga Antonia Valtéria Melo , Da Silva Gabriel Rocha , Vale Dário Henrique Alvarenga
Published: August 2023

A hanseníase é uma doença contagiosa marcada por aspectos socioculturais negativos, como episódios de estigmas e discriminação que causam sofrimento nas pessoas acometidas pela enfermidade. O Brasil, na primeira metade do século XX, adotou, como medida de combate e controle à expansão da doença, a política de isolamento compulsório. Ao final desse século, após a constatação da insuficiência das medidas profiláticas adotadas e com a descoberta de medicamentos eficazes para o combate da doença, a comunidade médica internacional decidiu pela alteração do protocolo aplicado ao tratamento dessa endemia. Visando reduzir os efeitos culturais da doença, foi alterada por força da lei nº 9.010 de 1995 a denominação da doença, que deixou de ser chamada de “lepra” e passou a ser tratada de hanseníase. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os aspectos socioculturais relacionados com a trajetória da hanseníase no Brasil ao longo do século XX. Quanto à metodologia, tratou-se de uma pesquisa caracterizada como bibliográfica e documental. Com o intuito de fazer uma revisão de literatura sobre a hanseníase (lepra) no século XX, foram consultados autores (as) que discutem a problemática da hanseníase (lepra) sobre a perspectiva histórica, como Alvarenga (2013), Carvalho (2012) e outros que abordam a temática da saúde pública, a exemplo de Hochman (1998) e Maciel (2007), além das contribuições teóricas de Goffman (1988) sobre a noção de estigma. A parte documental integrou as legislações relacionadas à endemia ao longo do século XX. Constatou-se que, apesar dos avanços científicos no campo da saúde e da promoção de políticas públicas de saúde, a doença sobreviveu à virada do milênio. Dados recentes mostram que no século XXI a hanseníase mantém-se como um problema de saúde pública, o que eleva a importância do debate sobre os fatores históricos, sobretudo os relacionados ao estigma.

Published: August 2023

The study was conducted to evaluate effect of walking stress on physiological, heamatological and antioxidant profiles in mithun bulls. Mithun bulls (12) of adult age of 4 to 6 yr (500–600 kg body weight) with body condition score 5–6 were selected and divided into group 1 (6): control (not exposed to walking and thermal stress) and group 2 (6): treatment (exposed to walking and thermal stress). The treatment group was allowed to walk 15 km to and fro from the farm without allowing grazing. The control animals were kept in the adjacent shed covered with asbestos sheets and surrounded by big trees. The time of walking was from 0900 h to 1400 h. The experiment was conducted during summer (May to July). Immediately after stress, the animals were restrained and physiological parameters such as rectal temperature (RT), respiration rate (RR), pulse rate (PR), heart rate (HR), skin temperature (ST) were measured. Meanwhile, blood samples were collected to study the heamatological such as red blood cells (RBC), haemoglobin (Hb), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and antioxidant profiles such as reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione reductase (GSHRx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and lipid peroxide such as malondialdehyde (MDA). The result revealed that physiological, heamatological profiles and MDA were significantly higher and antioxidant profiles were significantly lowered in stressed animals than in unstressed animal group. It was concluded that the walking stress and hot summer stress has significantly affected the performance of mithun.

Published: August 2023

Pulses are an integral part of Indian agricultural economy next to cereals and oilseeds in terms of acreage, production and economic value. Pulses are rich source of protein and energy, but in India, these are largely cultivated under energy starved conditions resulting in poor pulse productivity. This is mainly because of unavailability of quality seed at desired time, cultivation on marginal and sub-marginal lands, imbalanced use of fertilizers and nonadoption of crop improved management practices. India is the largest producer and consumer of pulses in the world, accounting for about 25% of global production, 27% of consumption and 34% of food use. To reduce the demandsupply gap, government of India launched various programmes in pulses. Still, prime attention is required to meet the food security challenges, especially in case of pulse sector. In order to enhance and sustain the pulse productivity at high levels, the development and promotion of lowâ€“cost pulse production technology need greater attention so that technology is widely adopted by the practizing farmers. The most potential technologies in pulse production include improved crop establishment and management practices, integrated soil fertility and pest management practices, etc. which enhance not only the productivity and profitability but also warrants environmental and social sustainability besides nutritional security. Various agronomic researches have shown that improved cultivation practices, such as seed replacement with improved varieties, raised bed planting method, use of biofertilizers, foliar application of fertilizers at critical stages in rainfed areas, application of secondary and micro-nutrients and adoption of appropriate modules for integrated weed and pest management, etc. have great potential in gearing-up pulses productivity. Thus, there is a great challenge for policy makers, farm scientists and farming community to enhance pulse productivity using improved farm technology to meet out the national and local pulse requirements. Thus, this article presents a critical review on capacity of various improved crop management practices to scale-up pulses productivity on one hand and highlight future research priorities on the other with the prime objective of sustaining pulse production in India.

The rural youth are disoriented and clueless in the face of lack of income generating and employment opportunities. The problems of young men and women, as well as their vision and aspirations are essential elements of the challenges facing today's societies and future generations. Farm and nonfarm enterprises in rural areas will be able to channelize energies of youth population in a constructive manner for regional and consequently national development. An action research project was undertaken by IARI for enhancing entrepreneurship among rural youth aiming at identification, prioritization of feasible agricultural technology, technological empowerment and hand holding for agripreneurship development in four selected villages of National Capital Region of Delhi; namely Partapur (Hapur), Hasangarh (Rohtak), Kansala (Rohtak) and Badarpur Said (Faridabad). The participatory prioritization was done involving micro screening exercise which is a very important step positioned between the project idea generation and the final decision about the most promising business idea. Micro screening exercise based on situational analysis of villages revealed that floriculture, seed production, net house cultivation, vermi compost/organic products, apiary, value addition, mushroom production and dairy enterprises excelled in order of scores gained irrespective of location. The psychological traits including need for achievement, aspirations and risk taking willingness of the potential entrepreneurs were found to be of moderate level at initial stage.

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) is causal agent of black rot disease in crucifers. Genetic diversity, 28 isolates of Xcc collected from cole crops (cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli and knol khol), turnip, brown and yellow mustard crops from northern region of India was performed by using rep-PCR fingerprinting (BOX, REP and ERIC) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Five DNA type groups were formed by using rep-PCR fingerprinting. In RAPD study, six primers showed monomorphic bands and remaining six primers (OPB-10, OPB- 15, UBC-245, D-11, UBC-220 and OPA-11) exhibited polymorphic amplified product in all isolates of Xcc. Xcc- C281 and Xcc-C261 and Xcc-C268 were formed separate group as DNA types, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively. Genetic variability was found among the isolates of Xcc based on their hosts. They were categorized into eight groups at DNA typing at ~50% similarity coefficient and formed 8 DNA type groups at ~ 50% similarity coefficient. Eighteen isolates of Xcc were grouped under DNA type 7, whereas in DNA type 8 (4 isolates).

Published: August 2023

Energy input and cost analysis of any crop production helps in cost effective management of inputs for improving productivity and profitability. Energy input, output and economic analysis was carried out for various components in mango (Mangifera indica L.) production system. Irrigation consumed the least energy (63 MJ) and diesel oil ranked first (3 040.74 MJ) in energy consumption. Maximum input energy was consumed (8 121.49 MJ) with application of 50 kg vermicompost + 250 g Azospirillum + PSB culture/tree + vermiwash spray compared to 6 232.24 MJ with application of 50 kg FYM/tree. Total production cost per hectare was maximum `Rupees 26 989 with 50 kg vermicompost + 250 g Azotobacter + PSB culture/tree and minimum (Rupees 19 349) with application of 50 kg FYM/tree. Maximum net return (Rupees 61 741/ha) was recorded with 50 kg vermicompost + 250 g Azospirillum + PSB culture/tree and benefit cost ratio (3.74) was with application of 50 kg vermicompost/tree. The total investment in term of energy was increased with 50 kg vermicompost + 250 g Azospirillum + PSB culture/tree over application of 50 kg FYM/ tree but production cost also decreased by 28.89% and net return was improved by 138.8% with application of 50 kg vermicompost + 250 g Azospirillum + PSB culture/tree.

Vimarśa: The Concept of Reflexivity in the Philosophy of Utpala and Abhinavagupta
Authors: Timalsina Sthaneshwar
Published: August 2023

The concept of vimarśa is foundational to the philosophy of Pratyabhijñā for multiple reasons. It is not just to confirm thereflexivity of consciousness that vimarśa occurs in this school. It is in this reflexivity that recognition as a fundamental character of consciousness is inscribed. Furthermore, it is due to vimarśa that the mirroring of consciousness is not just self-mirroring but also mirroring the other, the object that it grasps, and it is in this mirroring that consciousness synthesizes different modes, having synthesis its intrinsic nature. While the emergence of consciousness is depicted as non-temporal and non-sequential, the sudden emergence of consciousness underlies the synthesis of different modalities, making conscious event as both non-temporal and temporal, non-object directed and in that sense immanent and transcending its own horizon and reaching out to objects.

Published: August 2023

This article presents the results of a research conducted within the scope of a Doctorate in Education with the overall objective of reconstructing historical elements of seven Children's Parks that operated in the municipality of Marília/SP, in the period from 1937 to 1978. These years correspond to the installation of the first Children's Park in the city and the year of changing the denomination from Children's Parks to Municipal Schools of Early Childhood Education, respectively. The specific aim was to comprehend the social elements of the Children's Parks that operated in Marília/SP. The research was conducted through a historical approach, centered on bibliographic and documentary research, involving procedures for locating, identifying, recovering, gathering, systematizing, selecting, analyzing, and interpreting sources on the subject. To achieve this, sources from the permanent archives of the Municipal Schools of Early Childhood Education where the Children's Parks operated were consulted. Additionally, legislations, Marília newspapers, manuscripts, photographs related to the Children's Parks, and texts about Early Childhood Education from that period, published in the Brazilian Journal of Pedagogical Studies, were also used. Among the results, it was possible to understand that in the Children's Parks that operated in Marília/SP, there was a Comprehensive Education approach, where social elements were valued, including the participation of families and other members of the external community. Various celebrations were organized and were predominantly related to institutional anniversaries, Easter, June Festivals, Brazilian Independence Day, Tree Week, Children's Day, and Christmas. During these celebrations, social elements were developed in connection with artistic elements.
Traditional Taijiquan's Three Evolutionary Forms and Characteristics in Their Development

Published: August 2023

Chinese martial arts both reflect the lifestyle of the Chinese people and serves as an important link in understanding local cultural life in China. With Taijiquan’s recent recognition as an intangible cultural heritage by the UNESCO, the guardians of traditional Taijiquan now face the question of what to protect, how to protect, and how to develop and preserve its history. This paper uses literature reviews and logical analysis to resolve the development of Chen-style Taijiquan and explains how traditional Taijiquan has evolved into three different forms; traditional, competitive, and health- oriented. It analyzes the characteristics of the three evolutionary forms and proposes that in this era, the protection and inheritance of traditional Taijiquan as an intangible cultural heritage should highlight the cultural core elements within the Taiji record, and it is necessary to study the effect, and the crucial link between martial arts and health, in order to continue to preserve its legacy, and permit its future developments to all future generations, worldwide.
A COMBINED MODEL OF THE DIAPIRIC AND COLLISIONAL FORMATION MECHANISM OF THE PALEOPROTEROZOIC GRANITE-MIGMATITE-GNEISS DOMES OF THE SVECOFENNIAN BELT
Authors: Polyansky O. P. , Baltybaev S. K. , Babichev A. V.
Published: August 2023

Geological examples of the development of thermal dome structures in the Svecofennian belt demonstrate the relationship between plutonic and metamorphic events and metamorphic strengthening towards the core parts of the structures. The corresponding 2D geological model has been created to make a quantitative assessment of the effect of mantle magmas temperature at the base of the crust and the formation of the diapiric cores surrounded by high-temperature areas with a degree of granulite facies metamorphism. Modeling shows that there is a possibility of melting of the lower crust in the presence of a water fluid under the influence of mantle magmas. After melting, there occurs an ascent of partially molten material towards the upper crustal levels. An absorbed aqueous fluid changes to hydrous melt, thus lowering its viscosity and density. The ascending height of high-temperature cores is determined by the depth of viscous-to-elastoplastic transition in the crustal matter rheology. These materials ascend to upper levels in a partially molten state in the process of overthrusting due to "collisional" tectonics.
