Authors: Nsiah Irene , Campbell Patrick J. , Parikh Megha A. , Hines Lisa E. , Pickering Matthew , Nau David P.
Published: December 2023

This study examined the association between persistence to basal insulin and clinical and economic health outcomes. The question of whether a persistence measure for basal insulin could be leveraged in quality measurement was also explored. Using the IBM-Truven MarketScan Commercial and Medicare Supplemental Databases from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2015, a total of 14,126 subjects were included in the analyses, wherein 9,898 (70.1%) were categorized as persistent with basal insulin therapy. Basal insulin persistence was associated with lower A1C, fewer hospitalizations and emergency department visits, and lower health care expenditures. Quality measures based on prescription drug claims for basal insulin are feasible and should be considered for guiding quality improvement efforts.

Authors: Castañeda Javier , Arrieta Arcelia , van den Heuvel Tim , Battelino Tadej , Cohen Ohad
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE

We studied time in tight range (TITR) (70–140 mg/dL) in real-world users of the MiniMed 780G system (MM780G).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

CareLink Personal data were extracted (August 2020 to December 2022) to examine TITR and its relationship with time in range (TIR; 70–180 mg/dL), factors predicting higher TITR, and which TITR target is a reasonable treatment goal.

RESULTS

The 13,461 users (3,762 age ≤15 years and 9,699 age >15 years) showed an average TITR of 48.9% in those age ≤15 years and 48.8% in the older group (vs. TIR 71.2% and 73.9%, respectively). Consistent use of a glucose target (GT) of 100 mg/dL and active insulin time (AIT) of 2 h were the most relevant factors predicting higher TITR (P < 0.0001). In users consistently applying these optimal settings, TITR was 56.7% in those age ≤15 years and 57.0% in the older group, and the relative impact of these settings on TITR was 60% and 86% greater than that on TIR, respectively. TITRs of ∼45% (age ≤15 years 46.3% and older group 45.4%), ∼50% (50.7% and 50.7%) and ∼55% (56.4% and 58.0%) were best associated with glucose management indicators <7.0%, <6.8%, and <6.5%, respectively. TITRs of >45%, >50%, and >55% were achieved in 91%, 74%, and 55% of those age ≤15 years and 93%, 81%, and 57% of older group users, respectively, at optimal settings.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrates that 1) mean TIR is high with a high mean TITR in MM780G users (>48%), 2) consistent use of optimal GT/AIT improves TITR (>56%), 3) the impact of these settings on TITR is larger than on TIR, and 4) a TITR target >50% is our suggested treatment goal.

MISUAL PATTERNS OF THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND LOCAL IDENTITY
Authors: Аванесов Сергей Сергеевич
Published: December 2023

В статье взаимно соотносятся тренд на «цифровизацию» человека и тенденция к атомизации городского пространства. Показано, что фрагментация современного человека и его практик аналогична дроблению городской среды. Излагается концепция визуального каркаса (текстуры) городского пространства, а также обосновывается неоднородность этого каркаса. Исследуются различные подходы к определению содержания, роли и количества элементов городской среды, или паттернов городского пространства, аргументируется смысловой и визуальный характер этих элементов. Демонстрируется отличие урбанистического паттерна от архитектурного, градостроительного и дизайнерского. Показана связь городской текстуры с индивидуальным обликом города. Исследованы качества и функции визуальных паттернов городской среды. Обоснован тезис о том, что единство городской среды удерживается благодаря взаимной открытости ключевых паттернов, а деградация городского пространства вызвана как нарушением целостности паттернов, так и их взаимной изоляцией. Паттерны как ключевые узлы визуально-пространственной среды представлены как взаимосвязанные локализованные социокультурные процессы, направленные на формирование элементов уникального облика города, то есть функционируют в качестве согласованных способов построения локальной идентичности.

This article correlates the trend towards the “digitalization” of a person and the trend towards the atomization of urban space. It shows that the fragmentation of modern man and his practices is similar to the fragmentation of the urban environment. The concept of the visual frame (texture) of the urban space is presented, and the heterogeneity of this frame is substantiated. Various approaches to determining the content, role and number of elements of the urban environment, or patterns of urban space are explored; the semantic and visual nature of these elements is argued. The difference between the urban pattern and the architectural, urban planning, and design patterns is demonstrated. The connection between the urban texture and the individual appearance of the city is shown. The qualities and functions of the visual patterns of the urban environment are investigated. The thesis is substantiated that the unity of the urban environment is maintained due to the mutual openness of the key patterns, and the degradation of the urban space is caused both by the violation of the integrity of the patterns and their mutual isolation. Patterns as key nodes of the visual-spatial environment are presented as interrelated localized socio-cultural processes aimed at forming elements of the unique image of the city, that is, they function as coordinated ways of building a local identity.
Aurinkosuojautuminen 16–20-vuotiaiden nuorten kokemana
Authors: Mikkola Laura , Höytö Anne , Sormunen Marjorita
Published: December 2023

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvata 16–20-vuotiaiden suomalaisnuorten aurinkosuojautumista. Tutkimus liittyy valtakunnalliseen nuorten aurinkosuojautumiskampanjaan, jota ovat yhteistyössä toteuttaneet Säteilyturvakeskus, Ilmatieteen laitos, Syöpäjärjestöt sekä Itä-Suomen yliopisto. Tutkimusaineisto muodostuu yhdentoista nuoren yksilöhaastatteluista (n=11) ja se kerättiin kaksivaiheisesti; nuorten aurinkosuojautumiskampanjan suunnitteluvaiheessa vuonna 2020 sekä kampanjan jatkuessa joulukuun 2021 ja tammikuun 2022 välisenä aikana. Tutkimuksen aineisto analysoitiin induktiivisella sisällönanalyysillä.
 
Tulosten mukaan nuoret suojautuivat auringolta pääasiassa aurinkovoiteella, päähineellä ja olemalla varjossa. Nuorten aurinkosuojautumiseen vaikuttivat aurinkoon ja auringon ottamiseen liittyvät asenteet, aurinkoon ja auringon terveysvaikutuksiin liittyvät tiedot sekä muut tekijät, kuten esimerkiksi aikaan ja paikkaan liittyvät tekijät, sosiaalinen verkosto sekä käsitykset ihon palamisesta. Aurinkoon liittyvät tiedot vaikuttivat nuorten suojautumiseen, mutta varsin hyvätkään tiedot eivät taanneet riittävää aurinkosuojautumista, sillä nuorten oli vaikeaa nähdä ihosyövän koskettavan heitä itseään. Nuorten mukaan aurinkosuojautumista olisi mahdollista edistää puhumalla aiheesta enemmän ja lisäämällä nuorten auringon haittoihin ja aurinkosuojautumiseen liittyvää tietoa niin kouluissa kuin sosiaalisessa mediassakin. Tämän tutkimuksen tuloksia voidaan hyödyntää nuorten aurinkosuojautumiseen liittyvän tiedon lisäämisessä sekä suunniteltaessa valtakunnallisia kampanjoita, joilla on mahdollista edistää nuorten terveyden kannalta turvallisempaa aurinkosuojautumista.
Siviilisäätyryhmittäiset erot sydän- ja verisuonitaudeissa
Authors: Silventoinen Karri
Published: December 2023

Yhteiskunnan monimuotoistuminen on johtanut avioliittoisuuden vähenemiseen ja avoliittojen, eronneisuuden ja yksinasumisen lisääntymiseen. Naimattomilla ja eronneilla on sekä korkeampi riski sairastua sydän- ja verisuonitauteihin että kuolla sairastumisen jälkeen kuin avioliitossa olevilla. Myös avoliitossa asuvilla sairastumisriski on korkeampi, mikä todennäköisesti heijastaa avoliittojen suurempaa heterogeenisuutta liittomuotona verrattuna avioliittoihin. Siviilisäätyryhmittäiset erot sairastuvuudessa ovat kasvaneet viimeisten vuosikymmenten aikana sekä miehillä että naisilla. Erojen kasvu on kuitenkin ollut voimakkaampaa naisilla ja nykyään siviilisäätyryhmittäiset erot ovat yhtä suuria molemmilla sukupuolilla. Eronneiden ja avoliitossa asuvien huonompi sosioekonominen asema selittää osan eroista, mutta sosioekonomisten tekijöiden vakioiminen ei selitä eroja kokonaan. Lisäksi vastaavia eroja voitiin havaita sisarusten välillä, mikä osoittaa, että lapsuuden kotitausta ei selitä näitä eroja. Erojen taustalla vaikuttavat todennäköisesti sekä terveyskäyttäytyminen että psyykkiset tekijät ja ne johtuvat sekä valikoitumisesta että puolison suojaavasta vaikutuksesta. Puolison kuolema voi myös akuutisti nostaa sydän- ja verisuonitautien riskiä erityisesti miehillä. Kuitenkin kausaalisten suhteiden selvittäminen edellyttää lisää tutkimusta. Pitkäaikainen parisuhde sekä suojaa ihmistä sairastumiselta että tukee ihmistä sairastumisen jälkeen. Yksinasuvat tulisikin tunnistaa sekä terveydenhuollossa että yhteiskuntapolitiikassa ryhmäksi, joka voi tarvita erityistä tukea.
Entre histórias incorporadas e reificadas: estudo comparado de textos/documentos curriculares locais (2018 e 2019)

Published: December 2023

Neste artigo, apreendemos e comparamos a existência de histórias incorporadas/individuais ou reificadas/coletivas (Silva, 2021) em textos/documentos curriculares locais, na região Centro-Oeste, especificamente aqueles das redes estaduais de ensino de Mato Grosso do Sul (2019) e Mato Grosso (2018a, 2018b) para os anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. Essas publicações ocorreram após a homologação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular e indiciam, nas prescrições delineadas na parte diversificada, significações no contexto da produção de texto. Para as análises, orientamo-nos (praxiologicamente) não apenas sobre o sistema de relações curriculares objetivas, mas também sobre as relações dialéticas e as disposições estruturadas acerca das relações regionalizadas/municipalizadas entre a educação, a escola, a cultura e a sociedade. Dessa forma, partimos do pressuposto de que, na condição relacional, os currículos se aproximam de esquemas normativos, para os quais os agentes não obedecem às regras (permanência das histórias reificadas) sem elaborar suas estratégias (illusio de histórias incorporadas).
Why Is Biological Teleology Non-constitutive (Merely Regulative) for Kant?
Authors: Chen Bohang
Published: December 2023

There is no doubt that Kant assigns a merely regulative function to biological teleology. But the reasons for Kant’s doing so are less clear. For some Kant scholars, Kant does so because, for him, the concept of natural purpose amounts at best to a subjective maxim of certain heuristic values. Appealing as it is, this view runs into difficulties when other Kant scholars note that Kant takes biological teleology to be indispensable and uses the natural purpose concept to identify biological organisms (or, more precisely speaking, formative powers). I argue that Kant treats biological teleology as non-constitutive (i.e., merely regulative), because the concept of natural purpose is not associated with any supporting laws (biological organisms as instances or particulars of the concept of natural purpose are given, but the concept itself as a universal is only assumed).
The Effect of High Molecular Weight Glutenin Subunit Encoded by Glu-B1k Allele on Bread-Making Quality of Near-Isogenic Lines of Bread Wheat
Authors: ALTINSOY Betül , AYDIN Nevzat , KARADUMAN Yaşar
Published: December 2023

: In this study, the effect of the 22 glutenin subunit encoded by the Glu-B1k allele on the chromosome B on the quality of wheat was investigated. Nevzatbey and a genotype of Triticum aestivum L. subsp. sphaerococcum were used as parents and produced the near-isogenic lines (NILs) in the generation of BC4F3. Plant morphological traits and protein content, sedimentation volume, lactic acid solvent retention capacity (SRC), and glutenin swelling index (GSI) of the NILs were determined. The mean protein content of the NILs carrying 22 glutenin subunit was higher than that of the NILs carrying the 7+9 glutenin subunit (20.4% and 16.2%, respectively). In contrast, the NILs with 22 glutenin subunit had a lower sedimentation volume than those of the NILs with 7+9 glutenin subunits. The 22 glutenin subunit decreased the sedimentation volume from 19.47 to 13.49 mL. The average GSI value of the NILs carrying 7+9 glutenin subunits was higher than that of the NILs carrying 22 glutenin subunit (3.05 and 2.92). In conclusion, in this study we were able to detect a quality difference between NILs with 22 and 7+9 glutenin subunits in a small amount of samples. These findings suggest that glutenin subunit 22 may be associated with low gluten strength.
CONSUMER DEBT MANAGEMENT AMONG GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: COGNITIVE, EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIOURAL
Authors:   Universiti Teknologi MARA Kelantan Branch, Ismail Nurazleena , Ahmad Hilmiah ,   reasury Department,Majlis Perbandaran Kota Bharu Bandaraya Islam, Kota Bharu, Kelantan,
Published: December 2023

Many people claim that they feel burdened with their debt such as personal loans, hire purchases, housing loans, credit cards, and education loans. The burden that they carry has affected their life such as being unable to pay their debts. They want to live in luxury without thinking about the effect that will drag them to bankruptcy because of many factors that occur while managing their consumer debt. Thus, this study aims to examine the relationship between cognitive, emotional, and behavioural, and consumer debt management among government employees. This study is a descriptive study that distributed a questionnaire to collect the data and used SPSS to analyse the data. The target population is individuals who are employees from government organizations who have experienced using credit for their daily spending, purchasing assets, financing, and investing activities. The questionnaires were equally distributed to 100 employees from 10 government organizations from different positions. It found that there is a significant relationship between behavioural and consumer debt management. However, there is no significant relationship between cognitive and emotional consumer debt management. Good debt management improves the behaviour of government employees to pay their debts every month and understand the relationship between solvency and credit history. In contrast, government employees do not seriously think of their debt and are not emotional when making a decision to do financing. Future research is necessary to investigate how culture and socioeconomic status affect cognitive processes in relation to managing debt. Research should also examine how FinTech applications, including budgeting apps and AI-powered financial guidance, impact individuals' cognitive decision-making processes and their debt management results.
Variation in Air Void Content of Compacted Fill by Considering Variation in
Particle Density
Authors: Ismail Badrul Nizam , Yahaya Nurhanis
Published: December 2023

Compaction plays a vital role in earthworks to ensure that engineered fill such as
embankment is performed at its required capacity. Two main criteria that need to be
checked for compacted fill are density and air void content. The air void content is
crucial to avoid the possibility of wetting collapse, i.e. failure when water fills the
air void. In this study, the effect of different particle densities due to different
particle sizes was investigated. The effect of different particle densities on air void
content was also investigated. The particle density of soil was determined using two
configurations: 1) by combining all sizes and 2) by separating it into five different
sizes. The air void content was determined using two different values of particle
density. It was found that particle density varies with different size, and it increases
as the particle size decreases. This variation results in different air void contents.
It was also found that at higher dry density, the air void content might provide a
different value that is significant as it differentiates between comply and non-comply.
Therefore, this study highlights the importance of considering the effect of variation
in particle density in determining the air void content of compacted fill.
Implementation of String Inverters for 50 MW Large Scale Solar Power Plant in
Malaysia
Authors: Mohd Hussain Mohd Najib , Nor Anwar Irfanudin , Mohd Hussain Mashitah , Mat Leh Nor Adni , Ibrahim Intan Rahayu
Published: December 2023

The growth of large-scale solar photovoltaic (LSSPV) power plant site development
in Malaysia has increased the demand for the reliability and potentiality of the system
in achieving efficient monitoring, operation, and maintenance for the plants. A
configuration of string inverters is applied in a 50 MW large-scale solar photovoltaic
installation because of its flexibility and scalable technological advancements. This
installation demonstrates that the plant can optimise the power output and monitor the
performance of the system up to the string level with a cost-efficient implementation.
The output from each photovoltaic (PV) string provides a guarantee of better maximum
power point tracking (MPPT) capability. Instead of having shorter DC wires compared to
the central inverter, this system offers the potentiality of monitoring the solar PV
module at a string level, which also affords scalability for future expansion. The tests
conducted verify that the string inverter configuration serves as a reliable outcome for
grid code test (GCT) requirements. Furthermore, the string inverters provide a potential
approach to achieving maximum power generation in different climate conditions, thus
reducing the need for manpower in operation and maintenance activities. The string
system offers a feasible implementation of effective configurations and decarbonisation
for LSSPV in Malaysia without frequent shutdowns of plant generation due to defects or
damage to PV equipment and modules.

segmentation. Global segmentation, in which all desired boundaries of targeted objects
are extracted from an input image, is preferable to the selective model due to its high
utility, particularly in shape analysis. However, when segmenting a digital image with
inhomogeneous intensity, the global ACM appears to produce unsatisfactory results. Thus,
this research provides a new global ACM for segmenting digital images with an
inhomogeneous intensity incorporating an absorption Markov chain (AMC) saliency image
map and local image fitting principles. In addition, the Euler-Lagrange (EL) Partial
Differential equation for solving the proposed model was provided. Thirty sets of
digital images were used to validate the model. The accuracy of the proposed model, as
indicated by Dice and Jaccard values, is approximately 3.81% and 10.63% higher,
respectively, than that of the competing model, as determined by numerical analysis. In
addition, the segmentation process taken by the proposed model is faster than the
existing model. The proposed model has high potential to be extended into colour and
multiphase formulations in future research.

With the increasing public concern over radiation exposure and its potential
health risks, exploring practical solutions for mitigating radiation in various
environments is essential. This study aims to raise awareness about radiation-related
issues by investigating the impact of anti-radiation biomass material on the
reflectivity performance of partition walls. By incorporating this biomaterial into
partition walls, we examine how radiation absorption capabilities can be improved,
enhancing overall radiation safety. The process entails combining the biomass material,
Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA), cement, aluminum, and water in the proper ratios to create a
composite material. The combined material is subsequently shaped into partition walls.
The anti-radiation biomass partition wall's reflectivity performance was measured using
the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Arch free space method, with frequencies between 1
GHz and 12 GHz utilised in this project. The study showed that the anti-radiation
biomass partition wall containing 35% POFA demonstrated the best reflectivity
performance.
Railroad infrastructure investment and economic performance in Portugal: An industry-specific analysis
Authors: Rodrigues Pedro G. , Pereira Alfredo M. , Pereira Rui M.
Published: December 2023

This study addresses the crucial question of the macroeconomic impact of investing in railroad infrastructure in Portugal. The aim is to shed light on the immediate and long-term effects of such investments on economic output, employment, and private investment, specifically focusing on interindustry variations. We employ a Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model and utilize industry-level data to estimate elasticities and marginal products on these three economic indicators. Our findings reveal a compelling positive long-term spillover effect of these investments. Specifically, every €1 million in capital spending results in a €20.84 million increase in GDP, a €17.78 million boost in private investment, and 72 new net permanent jobs. However, these gains are not immediate, as only 14.5% of the output increase and 38.8% of the investment surge occur in the first year. In contrast, job creation is nearly instantaneous, with 93% of new jobs materializing within the first year. A short-term negative impact on the trade balance is expected as new capital goods are imported. Upon industry-level analysis, the most pronounced output increases are witnessed in the real estate, construction, and wholesale and retail trade industries. The most substantial net job creation occurs in the construction, professional services, and hospitality industries. This study enriches the empirical literature by uncovering industry-specific impacts and temporal macroeconomic effects of railroad infrastructure investments. This underscores their dual advantage in bolstering long-term economic performance and counteracting job losses during downturns, thus offering valuable public policy implications. Notably, these benefits are not evenly distributed across all industries, necessitating strategic sectoral planning and awareness of employment agencies to optimize spending programs and adapt to industry shifts.

Entre el espacio latino y anglosajón: pensamiento y acción en la trayectoria de Isabel Oyarzábal
Authors: Eiroa San Francisco Matilde
Published: December 2023

Isabel Oyarzábal representa a una de las mujeres de la generación de las modernas de los años 1920-1930, caracterizada por su polifacetismo, la ruptura con las normas tradicionales y la defensa de los derechos de las mujeres. Siendo autodidacta, desarrolló un pensamiento vinculado a la educación como motor del progreso de la nación, la libertad y el feminismo. Estas ideas se observan en su producción literaria y periodística, pero también en los círculos nacionales e internacionales en los que participó. Sus reflexiones no fueron solo teoría, sino que las puso en práctica a través de su compromiso con asociaciones de mujeres o en organizaciones europeas, como la Sociedad de Naciones, en las que fue a la vez aprehendiendo y difundiendo sus consideraciones acerca de la sociedad, las relaciones entre sexos o el mundo laboral. Asimismo, su intensa movilidad en España, Escocia, Gran Bretaña, Canadá, Cuba o Estados Unidos le sirvió para trasladar su experiencia vital como mujer y española a esos espacios latinos y anglosajones.
La filosofía española que José Gaos transterró a México
Authors: Serrano de Haro Agustín
Published: December 2023

La idea de «transtierro» admite aplicarse también al pensamiento filosófico que José Gaos llevó consigo a México. Gaos contaba ya con una filosofía original suya propia cuando salió de España en 1938. Era una peculiar defensa y asimilación del raciovitalismo de Ortega. En su caso, la idea de la vida humana como realidad radical conectaba además con una denuncia de la metafísica, con una «prosopopeya del filósofo», tal como él dirá en la última lección de filosofía impartida en la facultad de Ortega. También de estos años de la guerra civil data su reivindicación de que había existido un genuino pensamiento moderno en lengua española. Tiene un notable interés vincular estos esbozos claros de su filosofía madura con su formalización temprana, ya en 1945, de que en la realidad hispanoamericana prevalecía un pensamiento filosófico de expresión literaria y con firme proyección política. Se concluye apuntando algunas posibles dudas acerca del equilibrio interno de estos distintos elementos.

A Lisboa de Santo António
Authors: Dâmaso Santos Isabel
Published: December 2023

Portugal, e em particular a cidade de Lisboa, estão intimamente relacionados com a figura de Santo António, desde o seu nascimento, no século XII. Esta ligação reflete-se na designação pela qual o santo é conhecido em Portugal: Santo António de Lisboa. Tanto assim é que o património arquitetónico e cultural antoniano constitui um dos principais traços identitários da cidade de Lisboa, revelando-se como uma história viva da história de Santo António, da sua vida e da sua taumaturgia, que se reinventa constantemente de acordo com a evolução do culto antoniano, ao ritmo do desenvolvimento da sociedade. Esta particularidade da capital portuguesa demonstra a sua grande capacidade de conciliar tradição e modernidade, ao mesmo tempo que promove a existência de um imaginário próprio e único, no qual se destaca o significado simbólico que a imagem de Santo António envolve, considerada um dos ícones mais distintivos da identidade da cidade de Lisboa.
Techno-Paranoia, Techno-Fear and Narcissism as Determinants of Consumer Trust in Wearables
Authors: Gregor Bogdan , Gwiaździński Emilian
Published: December 2023

In the age of digital transformation and the transformation of traditional forms of communication between consumers and brands, wearables have successively become the next channel of contact after smartphones. On the basis of the literature review and an overview of the available devices of this type on the market, three categories of wearables have been identified: non-interfering (e.g. smart watches), indirect (protruding devices) applied to the body (e.g. smart tattoo, smart earrings) and interfering with the consumer’s body (e.g. subcutaneous chips, implants on organs inside the body or brain). The purpose of this paper was to assess the level of trust in wearables technology and its determinants, such as the respondent’s level of narcissism and fear of technology, using the constructs techno-paranoia and techno-fear among young respondents as examples. It turned out that out of the three tested predictors, only two of them turned out to be significant (techno-fear and techno-paranoia significantly (negatively) determine the level of trust). Techno-paranoia was significant for each of the three types of wearables technology, while techno-fear was only significant for non-invasive technologies.
Thorite inclusions in zircon of the monzogranite, Lower Nubia, SW Egypt
Authors: Hassan Kamaleldin M. , Brunarska Irena
Published: December 2023

This report presents the results of a petrographical and mineralogical (optical microscopy, BSE-EDS image analysis) study of zircon in samples from the Lower Nubian monzogranite. The mineral occurs as smaller grains (< 80 μm) in a fine-grained quartz-feldspar-matrix, coexisting with other accessory minerals including biotite, clinochlore, titanite, and britholite-(Ce). Zircon is also present within biotite and britholite-(Ce), suggesting that it started crystallization at about the same time as these two minerals. Two types of thorite inclusions within zircon are reported in this study. Type 1 is widely distributed throughout the zircon grain, forming crystallites of which each is typically < 1 μm in size. Type 2 is relatively larger (5-15 μm) and occurs only in one part of the grain. For the thorite inclusions, three possible origins are briefly discussed: (1) exsolution of thorite from zircon; (2) dissolution/reprecipitation of zircon; and (3) growth syngenetically with zircon. Of these potential hypotheses, the syngenetic growth model seems more favorable for zircon-thorite intergrowths than the other two hypotheses. Thorite inclusions and their host zircons seem to have grown from magma rather than hydrothermal or supercritical solutions. Here, they have primary textures and consistent chemical compositions that are consistent with whole-rock geochemistry.
