Authors: Henry Oziegbe Iriogbe  , Chukwuemeka Obed Ebeh  , Femi Bamidele Onita
Published: August 2024

This paper explores the integration of Quantitative Interpretation (QI) petrophysics and seismic petrophysics to enhance subsurface characterization. The primary objective is to assess how combining high-resolution well-log data from QI petrophysics with broad-scale seismic data from seismic petrophysics improves the accuracy and reliability of subsurface models. The paper demonstrates the practical benefits of this integration in various geological settings through detailed case studies from the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Middle East. The methods employed include a comprehensive review of both disciplines' theoretical frameworks and practical applications, along with an analysis of case studies where integration was applied. The key findings highlight that integrating QI and seismic petrophysics leads to more detailed and accurate subsurface models by combining the strengths of both data sources. This approach significantly reduces uncertainty in reservoir characterization and improves the prediction of key properties such as porosity, permeability, and fluid saturation. The significance of integrating QI petrophysics and seismic petrophysics lies in its ability to overcome the limitations of using each data source in isolation. By bridging the gap between localized well-log data and spatially extensive seismic data, the integration provides a more comprehensive understanding of the subsurface, facilitating better decision-making in exploration and production. This combined approach substantially improves subsurface characterization, particularly in complex and heterogeneous reservoirs where traditional methods may fall short..

Always on my mind: indications of post-traumatic stress disorder among those affected by the 2021 flood event in the Ahr valley, Germany
Authors: Zenker Marie-Luise , Bubeck Philip , Thieken Annegret H.
Published: August 2024

Abstract. The devastating floods that swept through the Ahr valley in July 2021 left indelible marks on the region's landscape and communities. Beyond the visible damage, experience from other events suggests an increase in mental health issues among those affected. However, there is a lack of data and understanding regarding the impact of flooding on mental health in Germany. Therefore, this study aims to determine how much the flooding in 2021 affected the population's mental wellbeing. For this purpose, a household-level survey (n=516) was conducted in the district of Ahrweiler, Rhineland-Palatinate – Germany's most-affected region – 1 year after the flood event, specifically in June and July 2022. The survey employed a short epidemiological screening scale to assess the prevalence of individuals showing indications of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Using binary logistic regression analyses, we identify risk and protective factors that may have played a role in the development of PTSD to find intervention points for supporting those affected. Our findings indicate significant mental health issues 1 year after the flood event, with 28.2 % of respondents showing indications of PTSD. Furthermore, this study has uncovered essential risk factors for developing indications of PTSD after flooding: female gender, being seriously injured or becoming sick during the event, and feeling left alone to cope with flood impacts. The study emphasizes that severe flooding, such as the 2021 flood, results in new health-related needs that demand attention. As a result, care methods should be adapted to tackle the prevalence and risk factors connected with PTSD in the affected population, e.g., by providing targeted aftercare for individuals who were injured or became sick during the flood event.
Remembering the Origins of Modern Legal Education
Authors: Monopoli Paula A.
Published: August 2024

American legal education came under tremendous pressure in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. That crisis precipitated a decline in law school applications and a concomitant decrease in the size of American law school enrollments during the 2011–2012 academic year. Commentators offered a myriad of proposals for reforming legal education during that period. Yet many of those proposals failed to gain traction, and a decade later legal education looks much the same, albeit with smaller enrollments. One of those proposals was to shorten the three-year course of study. In this Article, I revisit the origins of that long-standing feature of American legal education introduced by Christopher Columbus Langdell, Dean of Harvard Law School, in the nineteenth century and later embraced by the legal education’s regulatory bodies in the twentieth century. Viewed through a critical theory lens, its intractability can be explained, in part, by the persistence of exclusionary impulses and masculine norms in the legal profession from its origins to the current day. This Article proposes that American law faculty revive previous conversations about the value of this central design feature. And the subordinating effects of that feature should be a factor in weighing the costs and benefits of moving to a shorter course of study.

The methodology involves case studies with data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation, while supporting data is gathered from literature. The results indicate that the term philanthropy is not yet familiar among ITNY students; conversely, they are more acquainted with zakat, infaq, sedekah, and wakaf (ZISWAF), as these have become part of their behavioral beliefs. Through project-based learning implemented in Islamic education courses, students not only become familiar with philanthropy but also gain a deeper understanding. Ultimately, students are able to synergize their technical skills with their beliefs in engaging in philanthropy, as evidenced by the products they create.

Published: August 2024

Symmetrical Peripheral Gangrene (SPG) is a rare but severe complication associated with malaria, particularly caused by Plasmodium falciparum. We present the case of a 66-year-old male who presented with generalised malaise and mild SOB following recent travel to Sierra Leone. The patient was diagnosed with malaria caused by plasmodium falciparum and initial parasitaemia was 48%. He deteriorated clinically and required ICU admission with multi-organ failure. He was treated with artesunate and riamet, and unfortunately developed rapidly progressing bilateral gangrene of the upper and lower limbs on day 10 of his admission. The patient fully recovered and was discharged from ICU but required bilateral partial foot amputation. This paper reviews the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management strategies of SPG secondary to malaria.

Key words: Symmetrical Peripheral Gangrene, Malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, Pathophysiology, Clinical Presentation

Setiap struktur memiliki frekuensi alaminya tersendiri. Frekuensi alami adalah implementasi dari fleksibelitas kekakuan dan masa. Banyak faktor yang dapat menaikan dan menurunkan nilai perubahan frekuensi alami dari struktur bangunan. Penelitian ini membahas tentang faktor- faktor yang mempengaruhi frekuensi alami. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan melakukan kajian dari beberapa literatur yang tersedia mengenai faktor yang mempengaruhi frekuensi alami pada struktur bangunan. Didapatkan hasil bahwasannya frekuensi alami dapat ditentukan dari panjangnya bentang, kelangsingan dimensi, fungsi ruang disetiap lantai, material yang digunakan oleh stuktur bangunan, dan juga umur bangunan tersebut. Selain itu frekuensi alami dapat menurun nilanya ketika diberikan getaran secara berkala dan dapat meningkat nilainya jika menambahkan kekakuan atau dengan mereduksi getaran yang diterima pada bangunan.

Esta obra es parte de una investigación colegiada en el área de ética social, con aportaciones de perspectivas antropológicas, pedagógicas y transdisciplinarias, en relación con los movimientos sociales, tanto digitales como en el espacio público físico. La transformación de las conciencias de las masas es un elemento clave que persiguen los movimientos sociales a favor de la justicia, la libertad y la equidad, en su búsqueda por anular los monopolios de poder y los privilegios de quienes han hecho sus fortunas a partir del sufrimiento de muchos seres sintientes, pueblos o sectores especiales de la población, abusados y desprovistos de sus derechos. La idea de justicia cobra sentido si se trata de uno mismo; sin embargo, la justicia para las o los otros puede carecer de importancia y, por lo tanto, existe un escaso compromiso para su defensa; por ello, los movimientos sociales contribuyen a colocar los reflectores sobre aquello que los diferentes sectores vulnerados padecen. La presente obra integra una selección de temas relacionados con la defensa de los “buenos vivires”, el reconocimiento del “sentipensamiento”, la recuperación de saberes ancestrales, el antiespecismo, así como los feminismos, enfocados desde alternativas educativas a partir de la inclusión, el “ahimsa” o la no-violencia, la trascendencia del miedo y el uso de los movimientos digitales como alternativa de expresión.

Case description: A patient with failed metal osteosynthesis due to infection is presented. After infection remediation and radical resection, a 7 cm non-vascularized autofibula (NAF) was inserted and reinforced with a locking compression plate (LCP-plate) and bone substitutes. Result: Clinical and radiological bone healing of the pseudoarthrosis was achieved after 4 1/2 months, with a good functional and cosmetic outcome. Conclusion: Using NAF in selected patients at fitting recipient beds is an easy operative technique and is still applicable in reconstructing bone defects.
Optimization in Electrical Network through Domination Theory
Authors: D. N. Panchotia
Published: August 2024

Optimal Phasor measurement units (PMUs) placement involves the process of minimizing the number of PMUs needed while ensuring the entire power system completely observable. A power system is identified observable when the voltages of all buses in the power system are known. Installation of a Phasor measurement unit (PMU) at each bus of the network may cause some buses become observable. However, full observability of the network should be provided for estimation of the network state variables. Graph theory has the tool named as domination theory to optimize this problem with minimum number of buses for full observability. Various variants can play important role to find minimum number of buses. Here we are going to take help of a powerful variant of domination named D domination. Results regarding edge addition, removal with illustrations have been discussed.
Understanding the Influence of Copper on the Color of Glasses and Glazes: Copper Environment and Redox
Authors: Cormier Laurent , Noirot Cécile
Published: August 2024

This study explores the influence of copper on the color properties of lead and aluminosilicate glasses by using optical and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. Optical absorption spectra unveil distinct UV absorption characteristics in blue and green compounds, attributed to Cu+ ions, with notable variations depending on glass composition. EPR quantification of copper oxidation states reveals correlations with color variations, particularly evident in UV absorption shifts towards green colors at lower Cu2+ ratios. Redox analysis elucidates color differences in identical compositions subjected to different melting temperatures. Additionally, XANES spectroscopy highlights the role of copper proportions in modulating redox balance. Cu2+ site distortions, assessed through Gaussian fitting of optical absorption spectra and EPR simulations, present challenges in determining the impact of site geometry on color. The presence of copper clusters, inferred from broad absorption bands possibly due to Cu2+-Cu+ intervalence charge transfer (IVCT), suggests their contribution to coloration. The apparition of this IVCT contribution appears as the main reason for the sift in coloration from blue to green as the CuO content increases. Overall, the study emphasizes the multifaceted relationships between copper redox state, site distortions, and clustering phenomena in influencing color perceptions in silicate glasses.
