Published: July 2023

Highly efficient sediment gravity flows can bypass mid fan channels and lobes and deposit significant volumes of sand, mud and particulate organic matter in outer fan and basin plain settings. The Serpukhovian to Bashkirian fill to the Shannon Basin, western Ireland, includes deep-water fan deposits (Ross Sandstone Fm) that gradationally overlie basin floor shales (Clare Shale Fm). As part of a broader progradational succession, the upward transition from muddy basin floor to sandy fan preserves the stacked deposits of settings present prior to and outboard of mid-fan channels and lobes. Three fully cored boreholes and associated wireline data constrain the facies tracts in an 18 km long panel orientated oblique to original depositional dip. Two distal successions dominated by hybrid event beds (HEBs) are recognised, separated by a prominent condensed section. The lower Cosheen system includes m-thick, tabular HEBs with prominent linked debrites that pass down dip into much thinner sandstones overlain by sand-speckled mudstone caps that thicken distally before thinning. The latter are interpreted as secondary mudflows released following reconstitution of more thoroughly mixed sections of the up-dip linked debrites. Significant bypass and accumulation of mud by this mechanism helped heal local topography and maintain a relatively flat sea floor promoting an overall tabular geometry for the deposits of larger volume hybrid flows reaching the distal sector of the basin. The overlying distal Ross system fringe is characterised by very fine to fine-grained sandstones and is lateral to compensationally-stacked lobes further to the west. It has a progradational (at least initially) stacking pattern, facies transitions developed over shorter length scales, and includes outsized event beds but these are thinner than those in the Cosheen system. Common banding and evidence for turbulence suppression by dispersed clay rather than entrained mud clasts indicate these were transitional flows. In this case, event beds are inferred to taper distally, with significant mud emplaced by plug flow retained as caps to sandy event beds rather than bypassing down-dip. Different flow transformation mechanisms thus impacted how mud was partitioned across the fringe of the two systems and this influenced bed geometries, larger scale bed stacking patterns and stratigraphy. Whereas the flow efficiency concept stresses the ability of flows to carry sand in a basinward direction, it is also imperative to consider the variable efficiency of mud transport given the operation of clay-induced flow transformations. These can either promote bypass or trigger premature fallout of mud with implications for how systems fill accommodation, bed -scale facies transitions and the burial and preservation of particulate organic carbon fractionated along with the clay in deep-water system fringes.

Ballast with siderurgic aggregates: variation analysis of the shape parameters of particles submitted to triaxial tests through 3D scanner
Authors: Gomes Maelckson , Guimarães Antônio , Nascimento Filipe , Santos Juliana
Published: July 2023

Across countries, associations and institutions publish technical standards for railway ballast, however it is observed that those norms have differences when compared to each other. Each one of them has its particularity, varying according to the stone materials available in their countries, axle load and climate. In that sense, it is still a challenge to establish specific guidelines for the properties of the ballast layer. Recently, several techniques for acquisition, image analysis and particle scanning have been developed, either in 2D or in 3D. Those techniques vary from the use of pachymeter to the use of sophisticated scanners. This research seeks to evaluate, through laboratory tests, the evolution of the particle shape parameters through 3D scanning and the level of degradation of the steel slag when subjected to stresses close to those experienced in freight transport railways. Based on the performed tests and the obtained results, the authors recommend for a railway pavement subjected to a load of 32.5 t/axle and composed of steel aggregates used as ballast, a granulometric distribution with uniformity coefficient 1.5 ≤ Cu ≤ 1.6 (AREMA n. 4) and particles with: 0.625 ≤ Elongation ≤ 0.999, 0.567 ≤ Flatness ≤ 0.995, 0.475 ≤ Aspect ≤ 0.969 and 0.825 ≤ Ellipsoidness ≤ 0.957. These specifications enable a good performance of the ballast layer. In addition, the results found contribute to the understanding of siderurgic aggregate behavior under cyclic loading conditions.

Authors: Kibria Md Golam
Published: July 2023

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are the main work-related problems in construction sites around the world. Awkward working posture is mainly responsible for occupational musculoskeletal injuries. The main objectives of the research were to analyse the working postures of construction workers and assess the level of risk of injury in their work. Four categories of working postures were collected from elementary works as a form of still pictures from the construction site. Two assessment tools RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) & REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) were used to assess the working postures of construction workers. Results showed that Beam and column casting and masonry workers were at high risk of injury due to the absence of maintaining proper working postures during the work. This study suggested to construction workers to maintain proper postures during works for avoiding any occupational injuries.

A neurocognitive model of early onset persistent and desistant antisocial behavior in early adulthood
Authors: van de Groep Ilse H. , Bos Marieke G. N. , Popma Arne , Crone Eveline A. , Jansen Lucres M. C.
Published: July 2023

It remains unclear which functional and neurobiological mechanisms are associated with persistent and desistant antisocial behavior in early adulthood. We reviewed the empirical literature and propose a neurocognitive social information processing model for early onset persistent and desistant antisocial behavior in early adulthood, focusing on how young adults evaluate, act upon, monitor, and learn about their goals and self traits. Based on the reviewed literature, we propose that persistent antisocial behavior is characterized by domain-general impairments in self-relevant and goal-related information processing, regulation, and learning, which is accompanied by altered activity in fronto-limbic brain areas. We propose that desistant antisocial development is associated with more effortful information processing, regulation and learning, that possibly balances self-relevant goals and specific situational characteristics. The proposed framework advances insights by considering individual differences such as psychopathic personality traits, and specific emotional characteristics (e.g., valence of social cues), to further illuminate functional and neural mechanisms underlying heterogenous developmental pathways. Finally, we address important open questions and offer suggestions for future research to improve scientific knowledge on general and context-specific expression and development of antisocial behavior in early adulthood.

Seven Epithemia taxa (Bacillariophyta) from Lake Akan (Japan) and their salinity tolerances
Authors: Chiba Takashi , Horie Yoshifumi , Tuji Akihiro
Published: July 2023

The ecologies (salinity tolerance) of many diatoms are largely unknown, despite their potential to contribute to more detailed paleoenvironmental reconstructions. This study therefore aimed to investigate the relationship between diatom species and salinity. We cultured seven cosmopolitan benthic diatom species obtained from Lake Akan, a freshwater inland lake in Japan: Epithemia adnata, E. frickei, E. gibba, E. operculata, E. sorex, E. sp. and E. turgida. Each species was cultured at eleven salinities between 0‰ and 50‰. Epithemia adnata, E. frickei and E. sorex had the highest growth rate at a salinity of 3‰, with no further increase observed above 25‰. However, E. gibba had the highest growth rate at a salinity of 5‰, with no increase at salinities ≥ 30‰. These results suggest that E. adnata, E. frickei, E. gibba, and E. sorex grow in freshwater to brackish-water environments. Epithemia operculata and E. sp. proliferated at all salinities, indicating that they can adapt to hypersaline environments. However, E. turgida did not survive in salinities >10‰, making it the species with the narrowest salinity tolerance range. These results provide new knowledge that improves the understanding of the ecology of these species in modern environments and offer insights into paleoenvironmental reconstructions through diatom analysis.
A Comparative Assessment of Empathy in Medical Undergraduates: First-year Medical Undergraduates versus Final-year Medical Undergraduates in a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital in South India
Authors: Das Keya , Ashwini S. , Srujan B.
Published: July 2023

Introduction:

Empathy anchors the doctor–patient relationship, making the interaction therapeutic in itself. The concept of empathy, although considered an essential ingredient in the make-up of a physician, remains an unmeasured, untaught entity. Very often, it is considered an inherent trait, with arguments as to whether it can be evoked by training. Past literature speaks of the erosion of empathy with progression in medical school years. Our study aimed to evaluate and compare empathy in 1st year medical undergraduates with final-year medical undergraduates.

Methods:

A study with cross-sectional, observational design, having enrolled 266 undergraduate medical students from 1st-year medical undergraduates and final-year medical undergraduates, was conducted. Candidates were selected purposively for the study after receiving consent. A semi-structured questionnaire followed by Multidimensional Emotional Empathy Scale, a valid and reliable tool, was used for data collection.

Results:

First-year medical undergraduates students showed a significant correlation between increased age and decreased empathy, which was not evidenced in final-year medical undergraduates students. Both first and final-year medical undergraduates students showed significant associations between higher empathy scores and self-interest to take up medical undergraduates. Gender, socioeconomic status, residence, and year of medical undergraduates course were not found to have a significant association with empathy scores.

Conclusion:

Empathy was found to decline with age. A significant correlation was found between one’s own desire to take up medical undergraduates course as a career and empathy.

Published: July 2023

Neuroendocrine small-cell bladder cancer is an extremely rare and aggressive entity, it constitutes <1% of all bladder malignancies. The small-cell neuroendocrine histological variant has a worse prognosis than the classical subtypes. A case of a 53-year-old female consulting with gross hematuria is presented. Cystoscopy revealed a solid aspect lesion involving the posterior wall and dome that was resected. Histopathological findings showed small-cell pure variant carcinoma, high grade, with lymph, vascular, and perineural infiltration, infiltrating the muscle layer. The extension study made by hole body computed tomography scan, showed evidence of multiple lymph nodes and multiple visceral radiological involvements, with pulmonary, hepatic, and peritoneal implants. More than 10 years later, after receiving nine cycles of carboplatin-etoposide remains in complete remission and without radiological evidence of the disease. This is, to our knowledge, one of the longest disease-free survival cases in metastatic small-cell bladder cancer published nowadays.

Penile cancer is a rare malignancy of the male genital system. Approximately 98% of penile cancer corresponds to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), with further morphological and molecular classification into human papillomavirus (HPV) dependent and non-HPV SCC. Compared to HPV-induced SCC, non-HPV SCC appeared to have a worse prognosis. Here, we present a case of an uncircumcised male with an unusual coral-like polymorphic lesion, and confirmed histopathology of well-differentiated non-HPV penile SCC with rapid growth progression.

Published: July 2023

в конце ХХ века нобелевский лауреат В. Л. Гинзбург представил три «великие» проблемы физики, которые имеют прямое отношение к живым системам. После открытия эффекта Еськова–Зинченко эти три проблемы перешли в реальные три проблемы биосистем, которые связаны с особенностями биосистем. Вторая реальная проблема из этого списка связана с потерей однородности групп испытуемых. Это действительно «великая» проблема для всех наук, изучающих живые системы, или системы 3-го типа, по W. Weaver.

in the end of the 20th century, V. Ginsburg, a Nobel prize winner, presented three “great” problems of physics directly related to living systems. After the discovery of the Eskov-Zinchenko effect, these three problems became the problems of biosystems. The second problem on the list is the loss of homogeneity in sampling groups. This is a “great” problem for all sciences studying living systems or type 3 systems according to W. Weaver.

Authors: Husadatama Galuh
Published: July 2023

This article aims to review and analyze the Topic of Accounting Information Systems published in the Web of Science database. This research uses the Bibliometric method through Vos Viewer and Biblioshiny to show information about trend set, frequency of article production, frequency of authors, and some other information. The results showed that SIA's research, which was first published in the Web of Science database, was recorded in 1975 and reached its peak in 2011. However, the peak of SIA's article production in 2011 was due to a symposium held in China. However, after that, SIA's article production continued to decline and in the 2012-2021 period tends to increase. Other results show that there are no researchers who focus on producing SIA research articles consistently, this is evidenced by the authors who published the most SIA articles, only 4 articles. This low publication proves that collaboration between SIA researchers is lacking so that many articles are single author status.

Published: July 2023

Technology has transformed how social organizations and individuals socialize and do business today. It has generated tremendous, as well as complex economic and social challenges that mostly involve problems that people have interacting with others in society or engaging in normal social behaviors. Among the strategies posed to conquer the post-modern challenges is the concept of social innovation that involves much more than creating a new model, but one that creates empathy, as well as a change in power related relationships and a change in the way people think and act. The research studied the influence of social innovation on organizational effectiveness in Gotabgaa International organization in the USA. It focused on the organization’s adoption and utilization of social media platform as a social innovation. The findings from the study established that social needs, organizational political environment, organizational culture and organizational social capital statistically significantly predicted organizational effectiveness F(4, 217) = 190.968, p < .001.The findings also demonstrate the positive effect of innovation on organizational effectiveness and that the social system internal to the organization is essential to the adoption of innovations. It is also evident from the findings that social innovation is much more likely to take place when there are favorable organizational conditions.

The Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activity of Oriental Strawberry (Arbutus andrachne L.): A Review Article
Authors: R. Takruri Hamed
Published: July 2023

Oxidation is one of the most critical processes in food systems. It has an impact on a variety of dietary ingredient interactions, resulting in both desired and unwanted results. It was found in many studies that high concentrations of synthetic antioxidants may havesome carcinogenic effects in some animals, thus natural antioxidants would be analternative to synthetic antioxidants in food. These natural antioxidants can be present in any plant part, including grains, fruits, leaves, nuts, seeds, roots and barks. Many studies showed that there is an inverse relationship between the dietary intake of medicinal plants rich in antioxidants and the prevalence of human diseases. Oriental strawberry (Arbutus andrachne L.) is one of many medicinal plants for which antibacterial and antioxidant activity have been widely documented for a long time. This review intends to discuss the use of Arbutus andrachne L. as antibacterial and antioxidant.

Published: July 2023

Graphene oxide (GO) – acrylonitrile polystyrene (APS) copolymer nanoparticles was synthesized and used for preconcentration and determination of triazole pesticides in an aqueous sample by dispersed solid phase microextraction (DSPME). Graphene oxide was produced using the Hummers method and then coated with acrylonitrile styrene polymer. The synthesized adsorbent was characterized by FT‐IR, XRD, and FE‐SEM analysis. The influence of the effective parameters on the DSPME process was investigated. The results showed that the highest extraction efficiency was obtained by methanol as a desorption solvent, in pH 6, with 20 mg of adsorbent at 20 minutes. At optimum conditions, penconazole, hexaconazole, diniconazole, triticonazole, difenoconazole, tebuconazole were determined by DSPME with GO‐ASP adsorbent in water sample. The linearity ranges were from 10 to 10000 ng ml−1 and the detection limits were varied from 0.31–0.34 ng ml−1. This method was used for estimating triazole pesticides in a river water sample.
Agile Product Development for Cyber-Physical Products
Authors: Schuh Günther , Schulz Wolfgang , Kuhn Maximilian , Hinke Christian
Published: July 2023

The manufacturing industry, especially in high-wage countries, faces new challenges in recent times. The environment of development projects gets more dynamic and uncertain and is characterized by fast-paced changes of technological and economical aspects as well as heterogeneous customer requirements and volatile markets. In combination with an increasing complexity of cyber-physical products, the challenges within product development are constantly growing. Furthermore, companies need to be more flexible and be able to adjust to changing conditions (Schuh & Dölle 2021, S. 11). To increase flexibility, enablers (i.e., advanced manufacturing technologies) and tools (i.e., data-based automated design tools) are presented, whose further development and integration into the product development process reduce development times. Agile product development for cyber-physical products has become a significant research focus in order to meet the challenges described and to ensure the future competitiveness of manufacturing companies. The following paper and respective sections will describe the vision and main research activities within the Cluster of Excellence “Internet of Production” (IoP) in the context of agile product development for cyber-physical products.
Hegel's Philosophy of Sound
Authors: Shambaugh Christopher
Published: July 2023

This essay offers an introduction to Hegel's philosophy of sound as elaborated in the 1830 Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Basic Outline. The first section begins with essential context for interpreting the a priori status of nature and sound in Hegel's Philosophy of Nature. Next, I develop a general account of the Aristotelian character of Hegel's ‘Physics’, and a commentary on the categories of specific gravity and cohesion leading up to sound (and heat) in the ‘Physics of Particular Individuality’. The second section provides an exegetical portrait of Hegel's metaphysics of sound. I first reconstruct Hegel's ontology of sound from the subsection on ‘Sound’ (Der Klang), and then outline his theory of auditory perception. The third section compares Hegel's philosophy of sound to leading views in contemporary philosophy of sound. I argue that Hegel offers a hylomorphic version of a located event theory of sound, which I suggest is more phenomenologically adequate than the modern acoustic view, and more metaphysically consistent than other distal event theories of sound.
