Toponymic and Historiography Influences on Place Naming of Villages in Klego District, Indonesia
Authors: Fajar Nur Setyo Wahyu , Muryani Chatarina , Nurhadi Nurhadi
Published: October 2022

Place naming creates a link between language, culture, and ideas. This study sought to conduct an assessment of the naming process for villages and hamlets in Klego District, Boyolali Regency, Central Java Province. The study attempted to find naming patterns based on geographical appearance (toponym) and social culture or history (historiography). In addition, the study sought to find the structure of signs and meanings which those villages and hamlets used in naming. A qualitative-descriptive approach was used. Data were collected using interviews with stakeholders and local communities considered to be knowledgeable in the etymology of local names in their area. The results showed that the toponym and historiography of villages and hamlets in Klego District, Boyolali Regency were broadly based on physical, social, and cultural aspects. The physical aspects involved a) biological elements, b) hydrological elements, and c) geomorphological elements. The social aspects involved a) specific places, b) past activities, c) hope, d) the name of historical buildings, and e) the name of famous figures. The cultural aspects involved legends or folklore. However, there were many people in the area who did not know the toponymical and historiographical processes involved in local place naming. Our research showed that this was the result of low public knowledge of the meaning and origin of toponymy and historiography in the area.

Geosite Evaluation to Support Learning and Conservation
Authors: Yosi Felicia Maria , Sumarmi Sumarmi , Astina Komang
Published: October 2022

Freedom of learning can introduce more contextual factors, including environmental factors, into Indonesia’s education system. Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park has a natural uniqueness that can support the contextual learning process. Education held in the park can provide concrete conservation understanding for park visitors. Educational support facilities can provide information to understand the condition of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park area, but these facilities are still not fully developed. The conservation effort requires more information, including evaluation of the geosite as geological wealth. Geosite evaluation occurs by describing the uniqueness of the geological, ecological and cultural landscapes so that educational information can be produced for the sake of conservation of the region. An appreciation of the existing geodynamic processes can offer park visitors a valuable learning experience during their tour activities. This research aimed to determine the kind of evaluation of geosites that can be developed in volcanic tourism activities. Qualitative approaches were used to provide a description of geosite evaluation. The research was conducted on the tourist route of Mount Penanjakan – Sand Sea – Mount Bromo.

The Suitability of Distance Education for Students With Mental Health Issues and Economically Disadvantaged Students in East Java
Authors: Santi Rozakiyah Desy , Al Siddiq Imamul Huda , Dwi Yuniarti Wahyu
Published: October 2022

Distance learning is not the only effective way to achieve the goals of education in the post-pandemic era, and it is not suitable for some students, in part because of the implications on mental health of following distance learning implementation. This research used qualitative methods together with a case study approach and it took place in East Java. The results showed that distance learning was not as effective with the students with mental health issues who were studied in this research. This was due in part to the lack of internet access in certain facilities. Students also experienced stress due to distance learning, especially sociology students. Most assignments which students were asked to do via distance learning were categorized as projects. Such projects forced students to think critically, while distance learning conditions rendered critical thinking more difficult. Another case study showed that economically disadvantaged students were not favored through distance learning. Many students were disturbed by the fact that their parents had become unemployed, and many students’ needs could not be fulfilled by their parents because of this economic problem.

Traditional Flood Mitigation by the Indigenous People of Sampang Madura
Authors: Ridhoi Ronal , Faisol Hadi Achmad , Hudiyanto Reza
Published: October 2022

Flooding has taken place in Sampang every year for the last decade. However, before 2010, flooding in this area only occurred on average once every 5-10 years. This paper attempted to analyze the flood intensities and the traditional flood mitigation practices of indigenous people from Sampang. The authors used historical methods consisting of heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography to analyze the problem. By perusing government archives, newspapers, photos, videos, and interviews, the authors learned that flooding in Sampang has become more frequent and the range has become wider than in earlier periods, and this is due to the geomorphological condition and unfinished construction of sheet pile in Sungai Kemuning. This condition causes the residents to be flooded every year. To cope with flooding the residents use traditional mitigation techniques before and after flooding. They can feel hawa banjir through environmental signs surrounding their place. They measure the flood water level with a wooden stick called brenggongan. As an early warning system, they use kentongan and cell phones (to call family or colleagues in the North). When the floods come, important goods are stored in a shelter called ra’ para’an or paray. Moreover, the upper-middle class usually builds an attic (loteng) in their house, while the lower-middle class prefers to raise the floor of their house.

Authors: D Sulistyo W , Suprapta B , Nafiah U , N Wijaya D , R Nabila A
Published: October 2022

Interaction with many learning resources and motivated students are some of the indicators of ideal historical learning. The concept of Rajeboning (infographic project based outdoor learning) can be used to support historical learning. Furthermore, examining Liang Ulin 2 (which is still unexplored) and its artifacts can help to spur historical learning. This research involved the five steps of historical research (topic selection, heuristics, criticism, interpretation and historiography), as well as a qualitative research-based literature study. The archaeological and historical potential of Liang Ulin 2 can be reviewed from the findings of artifacts which include: stone artifacts (lithic), earthenware shards, jewelry, shells, bones, teeth, and ochre. The utilization of the Liang Ulin 2 Site as a historical source using the concept of Rajeboning consists of three stages: session 1 (orientation); session 2 (execution); and session 3 (appreciation). The three sessions are expected to motivate students and thus realize the real purpose of historical learning.

The Importance of Stakeholders' Roles in Village Resource Management
Authors: Putri Anzari Prawinda , Septiana Pratiwi Seli , Santi Rozakiyah Desy
Published: October 2022

If managed and empowered properly, natural wealth and resources in the village can support the progress and development of the village. Village resources, both natural resources and human resources, are important assets to be managed and maximized for the village’s gain. The village government plays an important role in management and must have a supportive strategy to achieve its goals. This research aimed to determine the resources owned by Pecuk Village in Tulungagung and what procedures have been carried out by the village government to maximize the potential of these village resources. Descriptive qualitative methods were used. The results indicated that Pecuk Village is one of the villages where the BUMDes (village-owned enterprises) do not work because there is no explicit coordination between village leaders and the community. Meanwhile, the community needs BUMDes to assist them in carrying out economic activities. Such assistance includes: fertilizers, socialization of farmers, savings and loans assistance, and entrepreneurship training. The village government must map out the natural potential of resources and mobilize the community in the village to reactivate BUMDes and carry out activities according to community needs.

Authors: Sumarmi Sumarmi , Sarah Rodhiah Mariza Siti , Rena Anggia Sari Risky , Rayhan Pratama Muhammad , Tanjung Ardyanto
Published: October 2022

Due to its increased population, the Klojen District has become the center of government and economy in Malang City. Overpopulation has caused an increase in land conversion and a decrease in vegetation area, resulting in the Urban Heat Island effect or increased land surface temperature (LST) in urban areas. This study aimed to determine the effect of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) on LST in the Klojen District. The data were processed by interpreting Landsat 8 satellite imagery using NDVI and LST analyses in 2018 and 2020, and the two variables were tested for linear regression. The regression test results showed that the NDVI and LST in 2018 and 2020 had a negative correlation. The data indicated that as vegetation density increased, the LST decreased, and vice-versa. According to the NDVI-LST coefficient of determination value, the correlation in 2020 was higher than in 2018, indicating that the NDVI-LST correlation became stronger every year with a coefficient of determination value between 0.67 and 0.81.

Designing Teaching Materials Using ACAR to Inspire Critical and Creative Thinking
Authors: Hari Utomo Dwiyono
Published: October 2022

Teaching materials not only contain text and pictures but have a learning material organization that can build higher-order thinking skills. Teaching materials contain the organizational structure of the sequence of student activities. This research aimed to design ’climatology’ teaching materials that can hone critical and creative thinking skills. Teaching material products were designed to include the preparation of material with a compilation format based on ACAR (activation, confirmation, activities, and resume), which comes from brain-based learning theory. The teaching materials were validated, tested, and implemented in field learning. The results of the evaluation showed that students were able to use the materials to master the concepts used to solve problems. This showed that the ACAR learning model design effectively helped to hone students’ critical and creative thinking skills.

An analysis of causal relationship between economic growth and financial development for Turkey: A MODWT—Granger causality test
Authors: Abar Hayri
Published: October 2022

This study aims to investigate the relationship between financial development and economic growth in different time horizons for Turkey. In this study an ensemble of wavelet analysis and Granger causality test were used. PSC was used to represent financial development and GDP was used to represent growth. The annual data used are for the period 1961–2018. The result obtained for a one year period shows that the demand-following hypothesis is valid for Turkey. Financial development is the Granger cause of growth and positively affects growth. The financial sector should be supported for growth in the short term. While there is no causal relationship for the 2–4 year period, bidirectional causality relationships were determined for the periods of 4–8 years, 8–16 years and 16–32 years. Because variables are a Granger cause of each other and affect each other in a positive direction supporting the financial sector is a preferable policy when the purpose is to achieve growth in the long run.
Intrauterine Insemination, IVF/ICSI
Authors: CETİN Caglar , ÖZCAN Pınar
Published: October 2022

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year despite regular intercourse. The need for treatment and treatment option are determined by the evaluation process that starts after this stage. Treatment mainly includes ovarian stimulation followed by timed intercourse, intrauterine insemination (IUI), and in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Choosing the appropriate patient and appropriate treatment method is critical here and is based on many factors. Maternal age and infertility etiology are the main determinants of treatment selection. As important as it is to think about IVF/ICSI selection quickly in patients over 38 years of age, it is equally important to switch to assisted reproductive techniques without waiting in the presence of very low sperm parameters. An inappropriate indication will fail even if the treatment is done in the best way. Appropriate patient selection and giving enough time to the patient in the treatment stages will increase success. In the presented article, IUI and IVF/ICSI patient selection criteria will be evaluated according to the causes of infertility. Here, the order in which the patient will be evaluated and the steps to be taken on the way to IVF/ICSI in the treatment of staged infertility will be evaluated in detail and descriptively.

Key Considerations: Supporting Better Governance of Flood Relief Efforts in Pakistan
Authors: Khan Mohmand Shandana , Loureiro Miguel
Published: October 2022

Relief, rehabilitation, and recovery from climate emergencies require getting the governance of disaster and crisis management right. In Pakistan, there are five actions where response actors can either contribute directly, or facilitate action to enable effective interventions: Support the collection, coordination, and dissemination of data relating to the crisis; Help regenerate multi-sectoral cooperation and partnerships; Assist the vertical integration of institutions at the sub-national level; Urge coordinated resources across response actors: donors, government officials, and civil society; Strengthen social protection systems in the longer term. Most of these are familiar to those that work on humanitarian crises in Pakistan, but they represent unresolved bottlenecks in responding effectively to a crisis. Getting these areas of action right is critical for the current crisis and to prepare for other expected and accelerating climate emergencies. To expand on these five elements, this brief draws on the authors' experiences of national and international responses to previous disasters and their aftermaths in Pakistan. It was written by Shandana Khan Mohmand and Miguel Loureiro at the Institute of Development Studies, and was reviewed by Saba Aslam (Institute of Business Administration, Karachi), Luqman Hakeem, (UNICEF), Hayley MacGregor (IDS), Annie Wilkinson (IDS) and Olivia Tulloch (Anthrologica), and edited by Victoria Haldane (Anthrologica).

Depok Beach is a sandy beach that has limited vegetation because of strong winds, poor microclimate, and low availability of nutrients. One of the plants that can adapt to these extreme conditions is Ipomoea pes-caprae (L.) R. Br. One form of its adaptation to extreme environments is thickening the leaves. Other forms of adaptation can also be studied through the characteristics of the epidermis and the epidermal derivatives of the leaves, as the focus of this study. This type of research is exploratory research, including sampling, plant identification, leaf preparation using the leaf clearing method, and observing microscopic preparations. The data analysis used is descriptive quantitative. The data obtained include the characteristics of the epidermis and its derivatives in the form of stomata and trichomes. The results showed the average number of epidermal cells in the adaxial part of the leaves higher, that is equal to 54.05 ± 2.31 / 0.06 mm2. Stomata are parasitic and amphistomatic. The size of the stomata and the width of the stomatal pore on the adaxial surface of the leaf is smaller but has a higher average density, which is 5.80 ± 1.15 / 0.06 mm2. The trichomes found were of the glandular type.

Authors: Guo Changqing , Huang Houbing
Published: October 2022

Understanding the dynamic behavior of domain structures is critical to the design and application of super-elastic freestanding ferroelectric thin films. Phase-field simulations represent a powerful tool for observing, exploring and revealing the domain-switching behavior and phase transitions in ferroelectric materials at the mesoscopic scale. This review summarizes the recent theoretical progress regarding phase-field methods in freestanding ferroelectric thin films and novel buckling-induced wrinkled and helical structures. Furthermore, the strong coupling relationship between strain and ferroelectric polarization in super-elastic ferroelectric nanostructures is confirmed and discussed, resulting in new design strategies for the strain engineering of freestanding ferroelectric thin film systems. Finally, to further promote the innovative development and application of freestanding ferroelectric thin film systems, this review provides a summary and outlook on the theoretical modeling of freestanding ferroelectric thin films.

The article presents aspects connected with the identification of the main problems of the deaf and the hard of hearing when they use public transport and the related infrastructure in Poland. For the purpose of the analysis, a survey was conducted among 71 deaf and hard of hearing persons who live in large conurbations and use public transport daily. The survey included questions concerning to what extent the public transport and infrastructure are adapted to the needs of the hard of hearing. The participants evaluated the system of passenger information and indicated problems they come across most frequently in public transport vehicles and at stops. The problems were related to two primary issues: difficulties communicating directly with the drivers or when paying the fare in the ticket window and problems hearing and understanding voice messages played in vehicles and at train/bus stations.
Méthodes de luttes à base de compétition interspécifique, de paillage et d’entretien mécanique régulier contre la renouée du Japon : retour sur six ans de suivi
Authors: BRASIER William , JOLY Céleste
Published: October 2022

Les renouées du Japon (Fallopia japonica) sont très présentes sur les berges du Rhône, colonisant de plus en plus de milieux sur les abords du fleuve. Depuis 2015, la Compagnie nationale du Rhône (CNR) mène des expérimentations de lutte contre la renouée du Japon sur 15 placettes situées sur la lône restaurée de Cornas afin de mesurer l’effet de trois pratiques de gestion : le confinement par un paillage, des actions mécaniques répétées et la plantation d’espèces autochtones ou compétitrices (Viburnum opulus et Salix purpurea) et/ou possédant un pouvoir allélopathique (Ailanthus altissima, Rhamnus frangula, Sambucus ebulus, Juglans regia). Chaque année, les tiges de renouée sont comptées, mesurées, localisées et photographiées tous les mois entre mars et septembre sur chaque parcelle expérimentale. Au bout de six ans, les résultats montrent que la densité de tiges de renouée a diminué de 65 à 100 % sur l’ensemble des parcelles. En effet, la fauche mensuelle et le paillage par feutre épuisent les rhizomes pendant trois ans laissant le temps aux végétaux plantés de pousser pour générer un ombrage de plus en plus intense sur les parcelles. En parallèle, une végétation indigène et spontanée commence à revenir sur la lône. Par la suite, l’arrêt de la fauche mécanique mensuelle en 2022 permettra de confirmer les méthodes durables sur le long terme.
Structural breaks, financial globalization, and financial development: Evidence from Turkey
Authors: Avci Pinar , Cetin Murat
Published: October 2022

Purpose ― Mishkin’s hypothesis suggests that globalization appears to be a vital factor in stimulating the development of the financial system. The study examines this hypothesis for the Turkish economy from 1970 to 2017. It focuses on the link between financial globalization and financial development by integrating economic growth, inflation, and natural resource rent as additional determinants into the financial development specification.
Methods ― The Ng-Perron and Vogelsang-Perron unit root tests are used to check the stationarity of variables. The cointegration analysis is performed using the Hatemi-J and ARDL bounds testing procedures.
Findings ― The main empirical results show that the series are cointegrated under structural breaks; in the long run, financial globalization and economic growth increase financial development while inflation and natural resource rent negatively affect financial development. A unidirectional causality exists from financial globalization and economic growth to financial development. At the same time, there is bidirectional causality between inflation and financial development, natural resource rent, and financial development.
Implications ― The empirical findings can present important recommendations for policymakers.
Originality ― Very few time-series studies include Turkey’s economy and structural breaks.
Parent-Child Relationships, Digital Media Use and Parents’ Wellbeing during COVID-19 Home Confinement: The Role of Family Resilience
Authors: Everri Marina , Messena Mattia , Nearchou Finiki , Fruggeri Laura
Published: October 2022

Research has provided substantial evidence on the role of parents’ well-being in the quality of parent-child relationship and children’s adjustment. Parents’ stress and parental couple conflict have been linked to children’s adverse developmental outcomes. However, little is known about the factors that affect parent’s wellbeing when coping with multiple with stressors such as those brought by the recent COVID-19 global pandemic. Our study intended to examine the predictors of parental well-being looking at the contextual factors of COVID-19 home confinement, i.e. the use of digital media and parents’ domestic workload, and family resilience. Also, age and number of children were controlled as potential variables impacting parents’ well-being. A three-step hierarchical regression analysis was applied. The results showed that family resilience was a very strong predictor of parents’ well-being after controlling for any other variable. Parental couple’s conflict over the use of technology predicted lower levels of family well-being, while notably parent child-conflict and domestic workload were not associated with parents’ well-being. Additionally, age of children did play a role: the higher the mean age of children in the family the better the parents’ well-being. The findings are discussed in the light of their implications for research and practice.

Published: October 2022

The soil and groundwater of Bhagobangola I block of Murshidabad district, West Bengal, India is severely arsenic contaminated. A bacterium was isolated from the garden soil of Mahishasthali village, which could tolerate 36.49 mM arsenic (III), 280.44 mM arsenic (V) and 63 mM chromium (III), which makes it arsenic (III & V) and chromium (III) hyper-tolerant bacterium. The growth pattern of this bacterium does not show much alteration in presence of 10 mM arsenic (III) and chromium (III), emphasizing its resistance to these heavy metals. Scanning electron microscopy depicted the size of this bacterium to be ~1.45 µm. 16S rDNA sequencing followed by subsequent phylogenetic analysis established the identity of this bacterium as Microbacterium paraoxydans. The bacterium is capable of bioremediation of arsenic and showed 30.8% & 22.6%, and 35.2% and 30.5% of bioremediation over a period of 24 and 48 hours in 1 mM and 4 mM arsenite, respectively. Microbacterium paraoxydans also exhibit plant growth promoting properties like nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, indole-3-acetic acid production and production of siderophores. Therefore, the heavy metal resistance, bioremediation potential and plant growth promoting potential of the bacterium could be utilized not only for reduction of arsenic toxicity in soil and groundwater but also for plant growth promotion by using it as a biofertilizer.
Synthesis of Carbon Black Loaded Pt Concave Nanocubes with High-Index Facets and their Enhanced Electrocatalytic Properties toward Glucose Oxidation
Authors: Xu Xin , Ma Ze , Su Zekun , Li Danqing , Dong Xufeng , Huang Hao , Qi Min
Published: October 2022

Catalyst with high catalytic activity and good stability are desirable in the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose. Herein, Pt concave nanocubes with high-index facets (HIFs) supported by carbon black (Pt CNC/CB) are prepared through a hydrothermal method. The experimental results demonstrate that the peak current densities in different potential regions on the Pt CNC/CB anode are 0.22, 0.20, and 0.60 mA cm−2, respectively. The glucose oxidation reaction shows superior performances in basic and neutral conditions than in acid conditions. Better stability is achieved by Pt CNC/CB than Pt concave nanocubes (Pt CNCs). Abundant surface defects with low-coordinated atom numbers, such as the steps, kinks, and edges, are served as active sites in the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose. With the addition of carbon black, the catalytic activity can be improved by facilitating the full exposure of the active surface defects on the HIFs of Pt CNCs. Moreover, to address the aggregation of Pt CNCs, caused by the high surface energy of HIFs, the introduction of carbon material is an effective way to preserve the HIFs, and thus enhance the stability of the catalyst. Hence, the prepared Pt CNC/CB electrocatalyst has great potential to be applied in the electrooxidation of glucose.
A Review of Plastic Contamination Challenges and Mitigation Efforts in Cotton and Textile Milling Industries
Authors: Adeleke Adeyemi
Published: October 2022

Plastic contamination is a topical issue in the cotton and textile industries. These plastic contaminants come from diverse sources, including agricultural mulch films, improperly disposed plastic trash near cotton fields, and importantly, the plastic wraps used to cover cylindrical modules built by John Deere’s onboard module builder harvesters. When these different plastic materials end up in the cotton lint bales, the value of the bale to the textile mills plummets significantly. To that end, there has been a concerted effort by the two major industries by this issue to find lasting solutions to the menace posed to their profitability by plastic. In this review article, the subject of plastic contamination within these industries is first put into perspective. Thereafter, the cotton value chain is subdivided into different phases from pre-cultivation to textile mills. The root causes of plastic contamination in each of the phases are then analyzed, followed by discussions of the select solutions that have been developed or are being developed in response to the challenge by the industry and researchers. Finally, from the author’s perspective, brief projections for the future direction of plastic mitigation efforts within the cotton and textile industries are presented. This review is envisaged to serve as a useful reference for new hands starting their research career in cotton- and textile-related industries, as well as practicing professionals needing to keep abreast of developments in the industry.

Consumers have an important role in the business world, one of which is the ornamental plant business. Consumer satisfaction was strongly influenced by the level of income, where consumers have a decision in choosing a product they will buy. Knowledge of consumer perceptions is important to increase farmers' income. This research method uses a descriptive approach, where data collection was carried out using interviews and direct surveys. Data were analysed using the Consumer Satisfaction Index (CSI). The level of consumer satisfaction with ornamental plants on the stock exchange and the auction of ornamental plants at Menggung Forest Art 2 was classified into the very satisfied category. Consumer satisfaction with ornamental plants is influenced by attributes such as variety, level of product uniqueness, product prices, future price predictions, and the appearance of plants in pots. Improvements regarding the selection of pots that are more adapted to the size of the plant and the selection of pot colours need to be made by traders or ornamental plant auctioneers.

The free platform is a free application that can be used to evaluate online learning. The problem is that teachers are hampered by using modern free platforms. Teachers still apply conventional assessments, such as printing paper, taking photos of student's work, and sending them via WhatsApp groups. This assistance is intended to describe the results of training on using free platforms to develop assessments in online learning for elementary schools in Kebumen Regency. Servants collaborated with several partners, namely Public Elementary School 4 Kedawung, Public Elementary School 2 Kewayuhan, Public Elementary School 1 Kewayuhan, and Public Elementary School 3 Kewayuhan. The first training was held on June 24, 2021. The service results showed that the preparation aspect had reached a sufficient percentage of 75.4%, while the implementation aspect had a percentage result of 80.1% in the high category. Moreover, the processing aspect reached a sufficient percentage of 75.4 %, and the utilization aspect reached 79% with a good category. From these results, it can be concluded that teachers can follow the procedures for using free platforms (Google Forms and Quizizz) to develop assessments quite well.

A teacher's ability to adapt to technology is tested when there is a significant change from face-to-face to distance learning. The most important thing is the teacher's effort to direct the attitudes and skills of students during online learning. The Technology, Pedagogy, Content Knowledge (TPACK) approach can be a solution to provide opportunities for educators to synergize anti-corruption education in learning practices. In this activity, anti-corruption education in sociology subjects was carried out using the TPACK framework approach. The service's target is the lecturers of sociology subjects in Surakarta. The method of implementing this service consists of several activities, including focus group discussion (FGD) offline to observe community needs. Then proceed with an online meeting through a zoom meeting to deliver general anti-corruption education materials and training asynchronously through the google classroom platform for 32 lessons for the benefit of training in anti-corruption education content analysis and anti-corruption learning model innovation. The preparation of anti-corruption education-based learning videos is carried out. The results of the activities were an increase in the ability of teachers to design anti-corruption learning innovations in sociology subjects and an increase in the ability of teachers to compile sociology learning videos by strengthening content knowledge of anti-corruption education insertions.

The sandy braided river depositional system developed in the Lower Shihezi Formation of the Daniudi gas field, Ordos Basin. It has the characteristics of frequent migration and oscillation of braided channels and large well spacing, making it challenging to portray the braided river sand body in this area, bringing uncertainty to the 3D geological modeling of the reservoir. This study takes the primary gas reservoir H1 member as an example. It establishes a quantitative geological knowledge database for the reservoir by statistically fitting the correlation equations between the braided channel and channel bar in the planes and profiles to reduce the uncertainty of reservoir modeling. This study combines the multisource and multiscale information from modern sedimentation, field outcrops, and tank simulation experiments of the braided river. From the data, the distribution intervals for the thickness and width of the braided channel sand body in the H1 member are 1–22 m and 7–320 m, respectively, and the thickness, width, and length distribution intervals of the sand body in the channel bar are 3–30 m, 80–1500 m, and 240–4200 m, respectively. A 3D training image is established using the object-based simulation method based on the H1 member’s well data and combining the quantitative parameters of various microfacies in the geological knowledge database. The multiple-point geostatistical modeling method is applied to establish a sedimentary microfacies model. The model’s uncertainty is reduced through multi-information fusion constraint modeling, providing a reliable basis for guiding the prediction of the remaining gas in the Daniudi gas field.
A Molecular Dynamics Study on Low-Pressure Carbon Dioxide in the Water/Oil Interface for Enhanced Oil Recovery
Authors: Chang Qiuhao , Huang Liangliang , Wu Xingru
Published: October 2022

The microscopic displacement efficiency of supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2)-based enhanced oil recovery (EOR) depends critically on the phase behavior of CO2 and residual oil. Traditionally, we assume that the main drive mechanisms of supercritical CO2 EOR are attributed to oil swelling and reduced oil viscosity, and research focuses on how the supercritical CO2 interacts with remaining oil under the reservoir conditions. However, our recent study finds that once the CO2 is introduced into the reservoir, CO2 partitions into the aqueous and oil phases, reducing the interfacial tension (IFT) between the oil and water. This is particularly important when CO2 is generated through a series of chemical reactions for in-situ CO2 EOR. In this paper, we used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the interfacial properties between water and oil with different mole fractions of CO2 in pressures below the minimum miscibility pressure. Simulation results show that with the increase in CO2 mole fraction, rather than evenly distributed in phases, CO2 molecules are prone to concentrate in the water/oil interface region, which decreases IFT between the aqueous phase and oil. Furthermore, the effect of CO2 orientation on the water/oil IFT reduction was observed. The change of CO2 concentration affects CO2 orientation near the interface, which in return dominates the IFT change.

Anthocyanin makes snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) pods purple, which is visually attractive and protects against environmental stress. In this study, we characterised the snap bean purple mutant pv-pur, which has purple cotyledon, hypocotyl, stem, leaf vein, flower and pod tissues. Total anthocyanin, delphinidin and malvidin levels in mutant pods were significantly higher than in wild-type plants. We constructed two populations for fine mapping of the PV-PUR purple mutation gene, located in the 243.9-kb region of chromosome 06. We identified Phvul.006g018800.3, encoding F3'5'H, as a candidate gene for PV-PUR. Six single base mutations occurred in the coding region of this gene, altering protein structure. Phvul.006g018800.3 transcription was measured, and expression levels in the mutant were significantly higher than in wild-type plants in all tissues. The mutant Phvul.006g018800.3gene was transferred into Arabidopsis thaliana, and the leaf base and internodes of transgenic Arabidopsis T3 plants were purple, verifying the function of the mutant gene. The results demonstrated that PV-PUR is a crucial gene for anthocyanin biosynthesis in snap bean, resulting in purple colouration. The findings lay a foundation for future breeding and improvement of snap bean.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of an ocean culture course using the TRIP learning model (Triggered situational interest-Reading-Inquiry-Presentation) in enhancing students’ marine life concepts and learning interests. The participants consisted of 67 first graders (6 years old). A quasi-experimental design was employed, and the mixed methods analysis was used in this study. The results indicated that the experimental group students’ concepts of marine life were improved with a large effect size (d = 1.4), and they outperformed their counterparts with a large effect size (f = 0.40). The students’ learning interest in marine ecological conservation concepts was improved with a medium effect size (d = 0.53), and they outperformed their counterparts with a large effect size (f = 0.54). The results revealed that using the TRIP learning model for marine education improved the teaching of the teachers who taught the experiment group. Moreover, the model enhanced the effectiveness of the students’ learning interest in understanding marine life and marine ecological conservation concepts. Finally, some suggestions for further teaching and research were provided.
