STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF POLITICAL GROUPS WITHIN THE “VK” SOCIAL NETWORK: COMMUNICATIVE ASPECT
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Zuykina K. L.
Published: November 2023

The paper presents a research of structural features of informal and official types of political communities within the VK (VKontakte) social network. To collect data from political communities, the author has developed a script that allows parsing data from the VK by the number of friends of each participant within a community (social capital of community participants), as well as getting data on comments left by participants on public pages. Despite the initially different positioning of the two types of communities, political communities of different types are appeared to have a similar social and communicative structures, owing to the topics of communities and their goals. However, informal communities feature a more uneven distribution of participants: there are several leaders in groups forming their clusters inside the public page, and the number of participants with 1 or 2 friends in a group or no friends at all (“observers”) is much higher there. Simultaneously, official public pages have a high density and a quite high clustering coefficient, which suggests that at the right moment those communities' offline political activity can be used to organize people online. Moreover, unofficial public pages embrace a large number of actors with a high degree of intermediaсу.

Caracterización de los residuos sólidos ordinarios presentes en el área de interés paisajístico alonso vera (Girardot, Cundinamarca) y sus posibles implicaciones ambientales
Authors: García Pérez Jack Fran Armengot
Published: November 2023

Actualmente, el manejo integral de los residuos sólidos ordinarios resulta un reto para todas las naciones del mundo, con implicaciones ambientales en el suelo, agua y atmosfera. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este estudio fue realizar un primer análisis de los residuos sólidos (plástico, vidrio, papel, y RAEE) registrados en un pequeño relicto de bosque del área de interés paisajístico Alonso Vera, localizado en el municipio de Girardot (Cundinamarca). La recolección y clasificación de los residuos se realizó el 14 de marzo de 2013 desde las 8:00 a.m. hasta las 11:00 a.m. con un esfuerzo de captura de 10 personas/sendero-márgenes, empleando elementos de protección como guantes y tapabocas para el pesaje de los residuos. En el relicto de bosque se recolectó en un día un total de 94 kg de residuos sólidos, siendo los RAEE y plásticos los más abundantes con 24,5 kg y 17 kg respectivamente. De este modo, se concluye preliminarmente que el relicto de bosque está siendo alterado principalmente por la disposición de plásticos y RAEE, siendo preocupante que la descomposición de estos residuos representa un riego para la salud humana e integridad de los ecosistemas.

Authors: Casanova O. Juan Fernando , Figueroa C. Apolinar
Published: November 2023

El objeto de esta investigación es la determinación del caudal ambiental en la subcuenca del río Las Piedras y su correlación con diferentes variables fisicoquímicas e índices de calidad del agua. Inicialmente se realizó la determinación del caudal ambiental utilizando una aproximación a la metodología para la determinación del caudal ambiental en proyectos licenciados de Colombia, los cuales son aquellos que de acuerdo con la ley y reglamentos puedan producir deterioro grave a los recursos naturales renovales, al medio ambiente o introducir modificaciones considerables o notorias en el paisaje (MAVDT, 2010). Seguidamente, teniendo el caudal ambiental establecido para cada mes y desglosado por condición hidrológica (Niño, Niña y normal), se procedió a estimar la correlación existente entre estos, medidas in situ (pH, conductividad, OD, turbidez, TDS, T y el factor de asimilación de la corriente) con el fin de hacer una estimación de la calidad del agua que se tendría manteniendo los caudales ambientales propuestos, usando para ello el programa estadístico SPSS. Por otro lado se realizó una evaluación de la integridad biótica, para establecer el estado ecológico de la subcuenca con base en la comunidad de macroinvertebrados. Como resultado se determinó el caudal ambiental para cada mes y las tres condiciones hidrológicas, igualmente se pudo observar la relación directa, existente entre el factor de asimilación de la corriente y el caudal, estableciendo de esta forma que el factor de asimilación puede ser una herramienta que permita la determinación de periodos de mayor vulnerabilidad a eventos extremos que pueda presentar la subcuenca. De igual forma, se consiguió realizar una estimación de las variables físicas (conductividad y TDS) con las cuales el caudal presentó correlación significativa, lo que permite tener una relación idónea entre la cantidad y calidad del recurso hídrico. Adicionalmente, se pudo establecer el estado de la calidad del recurso hídrico de la zona estudiada con base en un estudio realizado de la comunidad de macroinvertebrados como bioindicadores.
Evaluación de la producción de papa criolla solanum phureja clon paisa en contenedores de polietileno de alta densidad bajo el marco de agricultura urbana
Authors: Vega Castro Daniel Andrés
Published: November 2023

Con el fin de evaluar la producción de papa criolla Solanum phureja clon Paisa en el contexto urbano, se desarrolló una investigación pionera de tipo descriptiva en la cual se evaluaron las siguientes variables: incidencia de plagas, peso en fresco por contenedor, peso fresco total y peso por clasificación comercial. Se utilizaron contenedores de doble fondo de polietileno de alta densidad y técnicas agroecológicas de producción, de las cuales se destaca la fertilización utilizada con base en tres componentes: materia orgánica, minerales y microorganismos. A partir de los datos obtenidos se calculó media, mediana, moda, desviación estándar y se realizó un análisis de la dispersión por medio de cuartiles para el resumen de la información en cada una de las clasificaciones de la papa. También se analizó el rango intercuartílico y coeficientes de variación para establecer la normalidad en la distribución de los datos. Los resultados mostraron que la producción promedio de S. phureja en los contenedores fue de 528,36 g/planta, que al ser comparados con las medias de producción en Colombia y en el departamento de Cundinamarca, se convierten en una alternativa viable, que contribuye de forma directa con el fortalecimiento de la soberanía y seguridad alimentaria. Esta investigación resalta que la producción agroecológica de papa en contenedores bajo el marco de la agricultura urbana y diseñada desde el punto de vista agroecológico, no solo es una realidad para promover la suficiencia y soberanía y seguridad alimentaria por medio de la producción de alimentos saludables de forma autónoma por la comunidad, sino que además se constituye en una herramienta para los procesos de construcción del espacio urbano con beneficios socioculturales, ambientales y paisajísticos.

A skills framework in the context of a digital ecosystem: an engine for social inclusion in developing countries
Authors: Arbeláez Rendón Mauricio , Lotero Vélez Laura , Loaiza Yasaldez Eder
Published: November 2023

Colombia has experienced a remarkable economic expansion in recent times, but it is still a country with a high level of inequality. The Gini index evidenced that fact with 51.3% in 2019, which shows that Colombia has one of the highest levels of inequality in Latin America, particularly in certain regions. Furthermore, in 2020, 42.5% of the population lived in poverty, around 21.02 million individuals, and this figure increased by 3.6 million due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These levels are similar to those recorded 20 years ago (Balakrishnan et al., 2021). Besides, Colombia experienced a peak unemployment rate of 43% during the peak of the pandemic in 2020. By the end of that year, the rate had decreased to 15.9%, but this still represents an increase of 1.3 million people who were unemployed compared to 2019. Colombia has pursued the transformation of its commodity-based economic system to knowledge based assets; therefore, information and communication technologies (ICTs) are essential to foster the economic growth of the country and also play an essential role in meeting the sustainable development objectives proposed by the United Nations (Bogdan-Martin, 2017; United Nations, 2018; United Nations, 2015; United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, 2018). Several ICT applications have been implemented to reduce the gaps among individuals, including the use of Big Data to analyze marginalized communities, improve government services, provide farmers with relevant information, promote education and telemedicine, facilitate the purchase and sale of goods and services, offer financial services, and foster collaborative networks (Bauer, 2018, p. 6; Bogdan-Martin, 2017; Nielsen et al., 2018). Governments invest significant budgets in infrastructure such as Internet and computers to achieve this aim. Nonetheless, some Latin American do not achieve the same outcomes as developed nations. According to the ICTs Development Index, the highest-ranked Latin American country is Uruguay at the 42nd place, followed by Argentina (51st) and Chile (56th) (International Telecommunication Union (ITU), 2017b). In the IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking of 2019, out of 63 economies, Chile ranked 42nd, Mexico ranked 49th, Brazil ranked 57th, Colombia ranked 58th and Argentina ranked 59th (Brits and Cabolis, 2019) Internet is crucial in aspects such as the acquisition of new and improved skills, better employment opportunities, and the expansion of productive activities (ITU, 2017a; Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 2016b, p. 8; ITU, 2018a). The Internet also plays a crucial role in supporting innovation and entrepreneurship because it promotes information sharing, stimulates the creation of new businesses, facilitates the commercialization of new ideas, and explores new sources of income (OECD, 2016b, p. 9).
ser hombre desde el cuidado de sí: algunas reflexiones
Authors: Figueroa Perea Juan Guillermo
Published: November 2023

Objetivo. Analizar si se puede ejercer violencia contra sí mismo. Metodología. El artículo realiza una revisión bibliográfica  a partir del diálogo con diversas categorías que se usan al tratar de interpretar los procesos de salud y enfermedad de diferentes grupos de hombres y de asumir una lectura filosófica con base en la estadística disponible. Resultados y conclusiones. El reflexionar sobre ser hombre desde la categoría del “cuidado de sí” puede potenciar una toma de distancia del sí mismo; aunque a la par una reubicación de su acompañamiento de los demás. Se han identificado trayectorias que llevan a la muerte, relacionadas con los procesos de socialización de los sujetos del sexo masculino. Se invita a reflexionar a partir de problematizar certezas en los aprendizajes de género y de paso a los supuestos epistemológicos y gnoseológicos de las categorías usadas para estudiar el significado del derecho a la salud, el autocuidado y el cuidado de sí.

Libro: Revelaciones, filiaciones y biotecnologías. Una etnografía sobre la comunicación de los orígenes a los hijos e hijas concebidos mediante donación reproductiva
Authors: Cárdenas Gómez Carolina
Published: November 2023

Las técnicas de reproducción asistida (TRA) son una intervención médica que permite responder a la necesidad de las parejas con problemas de infertilidad con quienes estén vinculados genéticamente. Sin embargo rápidamente empezaron a evidenciarse casos donde, por diversas circunstancias, la concepción de los niños debía realizarse con los gametos masculinos y/o femeninos de personas extrañas a la pareja. Igualmente comenzaron a presentarse solicitudes por parte de mujeres solas o de parejas del mismo sexo que deseaban construir un proyecto parental, pero que carecían de los dos gametos para proceder a la fecundación. La solución propuesta para responder a estas solicitudes fue emplear gametos provenientes de una tercera persona conocida como donante (TRA-D).
Análisis de la obtención del derecho al voto como factor que incide en cambios generados en los movimientos de mujeres en Colombia
Authors: Salcedo Díaz Laura , Silvera Sarmiento Astelio , Garcés Giraldo Luis Fernando
Published: November 2023

Objetivo. Reconocer y destacar los cambios políticos que a lo largo de la historia se han dado, principalmente, en la participación de las mujeres en movimientos sociales y políticos; y contrastar el surgimiento de los mismos con la consolidación constitucional del derecho de la mujer al voto desde una perspectiva de género y un enfoque jurídico e histórico en Colombia. Metodología. El enfoque utilizado es el jurídico-institucional e histórico, basado en los cambios en la norma formal, sin dejar de tener en cuenta ciertos aspectos históricos que dieron lugar a transformaciones en los movimientos sociales de mujeres. Resultados y conclusiones. Se trata más concretamente de la participación de la mujer en la vida política durante el siglo XIX y mediados del XX. Se concluye que el voto es un factor que incide en el surgimiento de más movimientos de mujeres, en Colombia, pero no el único debido a que la cultura política y los valores ligados a contextos específicos juegan también un papel importante.
paternidad tras la ruptura de pareja: transformaciones derivadas de los procesos de separación
Authors: Montoya Ahmedt Carlos Arturo
Published: November 2023

Objetivo. Presentar una investigación sobre las transformaciones en la paternidad derivadas a partir de un proceso judicial o extrajudicial que regula las relaciones entre padres e hijos. Metodología. La investigación es descriptiva y se realizó mediante un enfoque histórico-hermenéutico, encaminado a examinar las percepciones de padres separados, cuyos resultados señalan tres factores que inciden en la paternidad: el padre, la madre y el Estado. Resultados y conclusiones. La dinámica entre estos factores permite discernir tres situaciones fácticas disímiles que puede afrontar un padre luego de una separación de pareja: una paternidad reconocida, una paternidad reconocida con limitaciones o una paternidad no reconocida. Algunos padres optan por implementar estrategias de resistencia a fin de mitigar, sortear o lidiar con posiciones arbitrarias que obstaculizan el desarrollo de su pretendida paternidad.
Retirement decisions and family characteristics in Costa Rica
Authors: Brenes Camacho Gilbert
Published: November 2023

Objective. The coverage of pension plans in Latin America is relatively low and so, people postpone retirement and decide to continue working. The aim of the paper is to analyze the family characteristics that predict the decisions of leaving the job market with or without pension benefits. Methodology. Data from CRELES, a longitudinal survey of the elderly with two cohorts were used. Results and conclusions. Among people aged 55 and older who were working at the baseline, 25% left the labor market, and 9% started receiving retirement money, even though some of them continued working. People who make informal cash transfers to family members are more likely to retire, especially earlier than others. Those who looked after children were more likely to stop working without a formal pension. There was no evidence that the spouse’s working status was related to retirement decisions.

Aperfeiçoamento de projeto de fossa ecológica de evapotranspiração a partir de testes empíricos e proposta de dimensionamento pela NBR 13969.
Authors: Wagmacker Filipe dos Santos
Published: November 2023

O objetivo geral de projetar um sistema sustentável de tanque de evapotranspiração foi motivado pelo método experimentativo, em que o conhecimento empírico possibilitou adaptações e melhorias para os futuros projetos. E ainda, de forma exploratória, recorreu-se em referências bibliográficas e normativas, na validação da hipótese de um novo cálculo de dimensionamento a partir da NBR 16969 e não da NBR 7229, como haviam feito anteriormente. A relevância dos resultados, está em revelar de maneira já aperfeiçoada, o detalhamento e cálculo dos tanques ecológicos de evapotranspiração, agora divididos em de águas cinzas e negras, de simples execução e pouca manutenção. Uma vez popularizado, seria uma das soluções para melhorar os índices de saneamento rural, com ganhos ambientais para evitar a contaminação do solo e de lençois freáticos.

Published: November 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo investigar políticas habitacionais de baixa renda criativas protagonizadas por municípios em resposta à necessidade de materialização do direito social de moradia consagrado pela Constituição brasileira, promovendo o debate de iniciativas contemporâneas para o suprimento do crescente déficit no país. Verificou-se, notadamente no município de Campinas/SP, através dos métodos da revisão bibliográfica e da pesquisa documental junto à Companhia de Habitação Popular – CP, que a implantação de programas habitacionais consubstanciados em parcerias com a iniciativa privada sob a supervisão, controle, gestão e monitoramento do poder público, não só podem superar o mandato de quatro anos dos prefeitos, bem como proporcionar ganhos efetivos à construção de moradias dignas voltadas à  população de baixa renda,  com o potencial de se manterem perenes e contínuos, submetidos a aperfeiçoamentos ao longo dos anos através de um arcabouço legal  composto por normativas e procedimentos objetivos, claros e transparentes no formato de um regime célere de licenciamento de projetos  urbanísticos e edilícios, contribuindo, assim, para a desburocratização da máquina estatal sem a perda da qualidade dos serviços públicos prestados à população.
Cidades Sustentáveis e a Mobilidade Ativa: O Caso de Passo Fundo-RS
Authors: Pedott Georgea Marthina , Silva Thaísa Leal da
Published: November 2023

Atualmente a maior parte da população mundial vive em zonas urbanas. Em função disso as cidades têm se tornado o epicentro de problemas como a poluição e o desperdício de recursos naturais, e alguns desses problemas são foco da Agenda 2030 através dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). Nesse contexto, o ODS11(Cidades e Comunidades Sustentáveis) e o ODS13 (Ação Contra a Mudança Global do Clima) foram abordados neste estudo, pois se relacionam com a importância de uma mobilidade urbana mais sustentável, levando em consideração a implementação de cidades mais sustentáveis, através de meios ativos de locomoção, e considerando o combate às mudanças climáticas através da redução de emissão de gases poluentes pelos automóveis. Desse modo, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a malha cicloviária de Passo Fundo - RS e propor a expansão das ciclovias, mantendo sua conexão com as estações de compartilhamento de bicicletas existentes na cidade. Como metodologia, inicialmente foi realizada uma revisão de literatura sobre os conceitos de Cidades Sustentáveis e Mobilidade Ativa. Logo após foram realizados estudos de caso de duas cidades que são exemplos no incentivo à mobilidade ativa: Londres no Reino Unido, e São Paulo no Brasil. Como resultado da análise foi desenvolvida uma proposta de expansão das ciclovias existentes em Passo Fundo, visando o incentivo à mobilidade ativa e a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos cidadãos.

Enhancing insulin supply chain resilience: A critical importance for diabetes management
Authors: Mona Hussain AA Haji
Published: November 2023

Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder affecting millions worldwide, relies heavily on a stable and efficient supply chain for insulin, a life-saving hormone. However, the insulin supply chain faces multifaceted challenges that can disrupt access to this essential medication. In the realm of diabetes management, a novel and devastating occurrence has emerged—a severe shortage of insulin. This case report revolves around a singular clinical encounter that showcases a series of remarkable and uncommon aspects, which can enrich the knowledge of healthcare professionals. The patient’s condition presented several unique features, providing a learning opportunity that transcends the typical clinical scenarios seen in diabetes management. The findings surrounding the unavailability of insulin, the dire consequences it has on patients, and the clinical course and prognosis of an individual patient closely related to previous challenges. The shortage of insulin, though not a new challenge, has now reached unparalleled levels, resulting in life-threatening situations for those dependent on this vital hormone. This case report delves into a unique scenario where an individual patient’s health dramatically deteriorated due to the insulin scarcity, highlighting the urgency for comprehensive solutions and international cooperation to ensure access to this life-saving medication. This case report manuscript reviews the importance of enhancing the resistance and resilience of the insulin supply chain to ensure uninterrupted access to insulin for people with diabetes. We discuss the current challenges, their impact on diabetes management, and propose strategies to mitigate these issues. Strengthening the insulin supply chain is essential for the well-being of those living with diabetes, highlighting its significance for healthcare systems globally.

Published: November 2023

The analysis of theskeletal remainsof vertebrates in archaeological contexts provides information about human-animal relationship and their environment. Their taxonomic identification based on macroscopic observation is not always possible due to fragmentation and poor preservation. In recent years,proteomicshas emerged as an alternative but there is clearly a lack of data inarid environmentwherediagenesisrapidly affects the integrity of bone proteins. Here, we report the efficiency of three protocols for protein extraction. The protocols used harsh (1MHCland 0.6M HCl) and soft (Tris-EDTA) decalcification agents and were tested on unidentified splinters from the 2000years-old site of Toteng, Botswana. The preservation of the organic phase was first estimated usingattenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopyand a set of samples with contrasted collagen contents were selected for palaeoproteomics. The extracted proteins were submitted to a bottom-up proteomic approach involving trypsin digestion followed by ultra-high-performanceliquid chromatographycoupled to mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS). Our results identify Tris-EDTA buffer as the most suitable decalcification protocol for poorly preserved bones and propose a collagen content threshold of ~3% weight content for successful detection of peptides. This approach, combined with biogeographical and chronological repartitions of mammals in Africa allows refining taxonomic attributions for four out of nine splinters, leading to species identification. Data are availableviaProteomeXchange with identifierPXD010725.
Structural and Parametric Synthesis of Neural Network Controllers for Control Objects with Limiters
Authors: Feofilov S. V. , Kozyr A. V. , Khapkin D. L.
Published: November 2023

The article presents a methodology for the synthesis of digital control systems for nonlinear objects with limiters under conditions of incomplete information. Closed-loop tracking systems with negative feedback are considered. Artificial neural networks are proposed to build a controller, which is included in series with the control object. This approach is effective when known classical methods do not allow to synthesize control. This is the case, for example, if the mathematical model is essentially nonlinear and is not fully defined. The developed methods allow us to expand the class of technical systems, for which the direct (without using various kinds of simplifications) synthesis of control laws that are close to optimal is possible. In addition, neural network controllers possess the properties of robustness, adaptivity, and are initially digital, i.e. those qualities, which are very much in demand in practice. In article main attention is given to such problems, as a choice of neural network structure for neural simulator and neural controller, construction of training sample, ensuring convergence of the process of weights correction. For training neural networks the method of back propagation of error is used as a basic one. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrated by the example of the synthesis of a neuroregulator for a specific technical object and its comparison with classical control systems. It should be noted that today neural network technologies are widespread enough in various spheres of activity. The successes demonstrated in sound processing, image processing, automatic translation, in navigation systems, in big data processing are impressive. However, their application in automatic control systems is not so widespread. The authors of this article believe that the potential of artificial neural networks can be used in this direction. It should be understood that the use of neural networks is effective only under certain conditions and properties of the control object.

B a c k g r o u n d . The use of three-dimensional terrain modeling by commanders during their decision-making during the execution of assigned tasks will allow them to gain a tactical advantage on the battlefield. Given the current lack of a methodological foundation for justifying the methodology of constructing three-dimensional terrain models for use in the geoinformation subsystems of the Automated Control System of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (ACS AFU), as well as the practical absence of a modern information system for storing and publishing such data, the research objective is the development of a technology for using three-dimensional terrain models with modern geoinformation technologies to enhance decision- making efficiency during planning and the execution of tasks by military units. M e t h o d s . We employed methods such as analysis of scientific and reference literature on the research problem to determine its relevance, systematization, and generalization of scientific information, as well as a systemic analysis of current guidelines for creating and using three-dimensional terrain models in the development of technology for the placement and utilization of three-dimensional models on a geospatial portal. R e s u l t s . Considering the experiences of leading countries worldwide, contemporary approaches to organizing spatial monitoring systems, geospatial modeling tasks, and the diverse requirements posed on various components when creating a unified information space, the use of threedimensional terrain models is justified to enhance the efficiency of task execution by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In the military sphere, three-dimensional terrain models can be applied to improve the computational tasks of artillery units, visualize defense and offensive operations, conduct combat actions in urban areas (3D modeling of buildings and structures), and create special maps with pseudo-three-dimensional representations of terrain forms, and more. C o n c l u s i o n s . The technology proposed in this work for the placement and use of three-dimensional models can be applied in the process of information filling for the components of the geospatial portal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This paper investigates the possibility of revolutionizing Africa's carbon footprint through innovative technology dissemination strategies for GHG emission reduction. It highlights the importance of harnessing renewable energy sources to mitigate climate change and promote sustainable development in Africa. This paper also examined several technology diffusion theories in order to unleash Africa's climate-smart potential by tying them to the recommended techniques for dealing with technological diffusion concerns. These theories varied from diffusion of innovation theory to planned behaviour theory. By analysing these theories, it was found that the most appropriate technology diffusion theory for the assessment of innovative technology dissemination strategies for GHG emission reduction in Africa would be the Diffusion of Innovations Theory. This is due to the theory's emphasis on the dissemination and adoption of new ideas, technologies, or innovations by people or groups within a social system. It would give useful insights into the variables influencing the adoption and dissemination of novel technology for reducing GHG emissions in Africa. The paper also discusses the challenges and barriers faced in the diffusion of renewable energy technologies across the continent while proposing innovative strategies to overcome these obstacles and unlock Africa's untapped climate-smart potential. These strategies include promoting policy and regulatory frameworks that incentivize investment in renewable energy, fostering partnerships between governments, private sector entities, and international organizations to support technology transfer and capacity building, and implementing financial mechanisms such as green bonds and carbon pricing to mobilize funding for renewable energy projects. These proposed strategies were also used to develop seven policies required for innovative technology dissemination strategies for GHG emission reduction in Africa. These policies aim to address the unique challenges faced by African countries in adopting and implementing innovative technologies for GHG emission reduction. By focusing on capacity building, financial incentives, and knowledge sharing, these strategies seek to promote the widespread adoption of sustainable technologies across the continent. They emphasize the importance of collaboration between governments, private sector entities, and international organizations to ensure the successful implementation and long-term sustainability of these policies.

Published: November 2023

The 1920 Ms 8.5 Haiyuan earthquake was the largest rupture in China in the twentieth century; however, the coseismic slip characteristics that provide insight into fault kinematics and future seismic hazards are unknown. In this study, we employed stochastic slip modeling to explore plausible slip distributions for this earthquake, incorporating different geodetic fault coupling models as prior constraints. Results demonstrate that fault coupling constraints have both positive and negative effects on stochastic models generating slip scenarios to fit the field-measured geomorphic offset observations. Notably, a Gauss coupling model helps to generate surface slip with higher probabilities to fit geomorphic offsets, exhibiting a closer resemblance to the slip distribution of the Haiyuan earthquake. Integrating 41 slip scenarios of 6000 that reasonably fit the geomorphic offsets, we find that the Haiyuan earthquake likely involved multiple asperities and occurred as a cascading rupture event. The western and eastern fault segments may involve shallow slip deficits, implying potential distributed and/or off-fault deformation during the earthquake, with implications for geomorphic offset–based interpretations of long-term fault behavior. The modeling not only provides insight into the kinematics of the Haiyuan earthquake but also offers a plausible scheme for investigating historical earthquakes.

Hibiscus rosa sinensis L. is widely used by the community to decorate the garden because of its splendor. In addition, Hibiscus flowers containing anthocyanin and flavonoids have antioxidants, which function as antioxidants against free radicals. This natural dye can be obtained by extracting Hibiscus flowers through maceration using 96% ethanol. In this research, Hibiscus flowers were obtained from Sendang Rejo Village, Lamongan Regency. In the extract process, the Hibiscus flower’s petals were blended until smooth, then added to 96% ethanol (1 liter) and stirred for 30 minutes. Filtrate results were taken, placed in a porcelain dish, and put in an oven at 60 °C for a day. Four formulas were made with varying levels of Hibiscus flower extract: F1 (0%), F2 (2%), F3 (4%), and F4 (6%). Physical evaluation included organoleptic, homogeneity, dispersibility, pH, and qualitative tests for the identification of anthocyanins. The results of the organoleptic, homogeneity, dispersion, pH, and identification of anthocyanins evaluations were then analyzed descriptively. The data from the organoleptic test indicated that F1 had an odorless white color, while F2, F3, and F4 had a red and white color with a distinctive Hibiscus flower aroma. The homogeneity test revealed that while F1 had good homogeneity, F2, F3, and F4 were not homogeneous (heterogeneous). The spreadability test on the four formulas did not fall within the range of requirements, namely 5-7 cm, with an average value of 3.53, but this was related to several significant reasons. In addition, the pH test results matched the requirements for topical preparations, namely 4.5–6.5, with an average value of 5.075. In conclusion, Hibiscus flower extract obtained through the maceration method with 96% ethanol could not give a homogeneous red color from the anthocyanin substance. Physical evaluation and anthocyanin identification tests also obtained good results.
