Late Cretaceous paleogeodynamics of Bulgaria
Authors: Nachev Ivan
Published: January 2023

The Tethyan system consisted in the Late Cretaceous of four plates, and namely Eurasia, the Oceanic Neotethys, Apulia (+ Menderes) and Africa (+Arabia). The Balkan microcontinent was situated between the Neotethys (Vardar ocean) and the Dobrogea cimmerian orogen. It was an integral whole (Albian-Turonian), or was fragmented through extension (Coniacian — Campanian). The paleogeodynamic environments persisted through a given stage, and changed in time as follows: 1) limnic and graben environments (Albian? — Cenomanian?); 2) shallow epicontinental seas (Albian — Turonian); 3) moderately deep epicontinental sea (Coniacian — Maastrichthian), Kula marginal sea (Turonian — Maastrichtian) and Emine marginal sea (Turonian — Paleocene), and Srednogorie intra-arc trough (Coniacian — Campanian); 4) superimposed shallow seas or aluvial (fluvial) environment (Maastrichtian). Their formation is controlled by the Turonian and Coniacian extension, and their end is due to collisions with folding and thrusting after the Campanian, after the Maastrichtian, and during the Paleocene. The collisions were of the types continent-arc and arc-continent. The orogenesis migrated in time from the south to the north. The paleogeodynamic evolution proceeded according to the model of the passive continental margin (Albian-Turonian),or active continental margin, with the Balkanide island-arc system and igneous activity (Coniacian — Campanian).

From the investigations in the East Balkan area, south of the trust and nappe of the Balkan Mountains until now only on the coast of the Black Sea there has been found a real Cretaceous/Tertiary (T/K) boundary. Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary sections in Bulgaria on the coast of the Black Sea near Bjala, 35 km south of Varna have been identified by micro- and nannofossils, magnetic reversals and event markers. The hemipelagic sediments of profile Bjala 2b and Bjala 2c show an iridium enrichment in the boundary clay, a minimum of CaCO3, shocked quartzes, a mass extinction of Cretaceous nannoplankton species, as well as a bloom of survivors at the K/T boundary and the first appearance of new nannoplankton species after the K/T event. The comparison of biostratigraphic and magnetostratigraphic results provides a time scale for the evolution of these new nannoplankton species.
Local mollusc standard zones of Quaternary sediments from the Bulgarian Black Sea shelf
Authors: Shopov Vladimir
Published: January 2023

The only boundary which can be used to differentiate the Bulgarian Black Sea shelf into stratigraphic zones is the spatial distribution of mollusc fauna. This boundary is bathymetrically determined and divides the central morphological shelf zone into two uneven parts given inner and outer shelf. Another boundary is drawn which follows roughly the parallel of Cape Kaliakra and divides it into two uneven parts. The sediments of Low Pleistocene series were not deposited in the inner shelf zone and here a stratigraphic gap is established there which coincides with Chaudian Age. A similar gap at the time of Early Chaudinian Subage is established in the outer zone of the shelf where the Dreissena rostriformis tschaudae local mollusc Range-zone is indicated. In both shelf zones the sedimentation continues by formation of the Middle Pleistocene Old Euxinian and Uzunlarian Regional Stage in whose sediments the corresponding are Didacna crassa pontocaspia – Dreissena euxinica and Didacna crassa pontocaspia – Abra ovatа local mollusc Parallel Range-zones. The Upper Pleistocene (Karangatian) mollusc zones are established only at the inner parts of the Bourgas Bay and there three: Corbula gibba – Rissoa parva, Paphia senescens – Cardium tuberculatum and Cardium edule – Bittium reticulatum local mollusc Parallel Range-zone are found out which correspond to the three Substages of the Karangatian Regional Stage. The succession of the mollusc zones from the inner shelf is interrupted by a barren zone which corresponds to the continental deposits sedimented at the time of the Early New Euxinian Substage. During the greater part of the Late Pleistocene Subepoch in the zone of the outer shelf a stratigraphic gap is established. In the composition of the zone community of the next in superposition Dreissena polymorpha – Dreissena rostriformis distincta local mollusc Parallel Range-zone two associations are established – one in the inner and another in the outer shelf. The climatic changes which took place after the Würm glaciation restored the connection of the Black Sea with the World Ocean. In the Black Sea basin this Holocene transgression causes uplift of the sea level and increasing of the salinity to its recent values. The latter determines the successional changes of the mollusc communities which from the beginning of the Holocene became more halophilic. The community of Hydrobia ventrosa – Monodacna caspia caspia local mollusc Parallel Range-zone and Mytilus galloprovincialis local mollusc Range-zone comprise the sediments of Old Chernomorian Substage. The two New Chernomorian Spisula subtruncata triangula and Modiolus phaseolinus local mollusc Range-zone are fingering spatially in the zone of the outer shelf together with increase of the bottom at practically one and same composition of the zonal community.
The Neuroprotective and Antinociceptive effect of Antidiabetic 3-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-imino-5-phenyl-2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2H,3H,5H-[1,2,5]thiadiazolidin-1-oxide (CIPMTO) in Streptozotocin-induced diabetic neuropathic pain in rats: primary proof of concept

Published: January 2023

In this study the neuroprotective and antinociceptive effect of a newly synthesized chemical moiety, a thiazolidin derivative, 3-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-imino-5-phenyl-2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2H,3H,5H-[1,2,5]thiadiazolidin-1-oxide (CIPMTO) in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic neuropathic pain is examined in rat therapeutic model. Multiple behavior and biochemical parameters were assessed on the therapeutic model to understand the role of CIPMTO. In this study, male Wistar rats (220-250 g) were used (7 groups, one group was not given any kind of chemical treatment (normal control). All other 6 groups were given a dose of STZ. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was used as a vehicle for CIPMTO in this study. Out of those 6 groups, 1 group was given no other treatment (negative control), 1 group was given CMC only (Vehicle control), 3 groups were treated with different doses of CIPMTO, and 1 group was treated with pregabalin (positive control). Thereafter multiple behavioral studies and biochemical testing were carried out. CIPMTO is found to attenuate the STZ induced behavioral and biochemical changes in a dose-dependent manner (5, 10, and 15 mg/kg) as compared to that of the pregabalin-treated group. CIPMTO also reduced STZ-induced diabetic NP, which is attributable to its neuroprotective potential via pharmacological activities such as free radical scavenging, anti-lipid peroxidation, and inhibition of intracellular calcium accumulation. The current study shows that CIPMTO has neuroprotective and antinociceptive properties, as well as the ability to reduce neuropathic pain. Though further research and testing could be conducted for establishing the fact.

Introduction: The use of chemotherapy over many years has attracted the attention of cancer patients for the treatment or prolongation of significant benefits, but unfortunately, in addition to all the advantages it has, there are consequences. Side effects of chemotherapy in the oral-pink area include inflammation, mouth ulcers, increased prevalence of viral, fungal, bacterial and bleeding infections. These side effects cause significant pain, malnutrition, and even, in some cases, a reduction in the amount of chemotherapy used by the treating physician. The aim of this study was to determine the oral and dental complications caused by cyclophosphamide in patients with breast cancer in the Department of Chemotherapy of Shahid Mostafa Hospital, Ilam Province in 2019. Materials and Method: The present study is an analytical-cross-sectional study performed on patients with breast cancer at Shahid Mostafa Hospital in Ilam in 2019-2020 and a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect information. Results: The mean age of patients was 8.81±50.89 and their age range was between 36 and 69 years, and the mean body mass index was 2.56±24.18 and the range was between 29-19. All patients were female. 68.1% of dental patients, 20.3% had no dental caries, and 11.6% had no debar. The results showed that 89.9% of the patients had oral and dental complications with the use of silcophosphamide. 44.9% of patients had mild mucositis, none of them had moderate mucositis, and 55.1% had severe mucositis. Significant relationships were also found between dry mouth and the severity of mucositis. Patients with low- and moderate-grade dry mouth with severe mucositis were reported to be 31.3 and 75 percent, respectively. Conclusion: In the case of mucositis, the importance of oral hygiene in cancer patients should be emphasized. Although there is no scientific evidence that oral hygiene plays a role in the prevention and treatment of mucositis, most researchers believe that oral hygiene can reduce the duration and severity of mucositis.

Authors: Ramesh K.V.R.N.S. , Yousef Ower Nameh , Sarheed Omar , Islam Quamrul
Published: January 2023

Dissolution of drugs is a prerequisite in the development of their oral dosage forms with satisfactory bioavailability. In this investigation, solid dispersion of the model drug indomethacin in gelucire (50/13) and inclusion complexation in sulfobutyl ether beta cyclodextrin are employed to enhance the dissolution. Fast dissolving products (F1-F8) of indomethacin are prepared by different methods such as solvent evaporation, freeze drying and kneading and comparatively evaluated. The ternary and binary systems of the products are prepared and evaluated for their efficiency in increasing the dissolution. The dissolution efficiency values (DE30) were found to be higher for solid dispersions (73.34%) and inclusion complexes (53.12%) than the pure drug indomethacin (3.32%). The x ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry studies revealed that the crystalline drug is converted into an amorphous form in the dispersions and inclusion complexes. Soluplus and gelucire are employed as ternary components in the solid dispersions and inclusion complexes respectively and are found to be resulting in ternary systems which were found to be superior to the binary systems. A 22 full factorial experimental design in order to investigate the combined influence of method of preparation and nature of the product. It was observed that the method of preparation and nature of the product (a ternary system or a binary system) will influence the extent of improvement of dissolution of the drug.

Authors:   Department of Neuroscience, Complex Ophthalmology Operating Unit, A.R.N.A.S. Ospedali Civico Di Cristina Benfratelli, Palermo, Italy., Lo Giudice Gregorio
Published: January 2023

Background: To describe our experience with TSCPC with diode laser for refractory glaucoma in a single centre in southern Italy. Methods: This retrospective descriptive study included 134 eyes with refractory glaucoma. Patients underwent TSCPC using a Cyclo-G6 laser method with a G-probe delivery system. Intraocular Pressure (IOP) and the number of Antiglaucoma Medications (AGM) were recorded at baseline and at 1-, 7-, 30-, 60-, 90- and 180-days post-treatment. TSCPC success rate was defined as an IOP between 5 and 21 mmHg or 30% reduction from baseline at the last visit (180 days) [26,27]. Statistical analysis was performed using Graph Pad Prism. Results: IOP decrease of 30% or more from baseline was achieved in 77.6% of eyes at day 1, 100% at 90 days and 85% at 180 days. A reduction in AGM was recorded for 85% of patients. No statistical difference in IOP reduction and number of AGM was found between female and male population at 180 days. No severe complications were reported, and minor complications occurred in 4/134 treated eyes (3%). Conclusions: In our experience TSCPC lead to an lowering of IOP in selected cases and it is still a valid option in the treatment of refractory glaucoma.

Mapping the Circulation of a Less-Translated Literature: Georgian Books Abroad Since 1991
Authors: Kvirikashvili Ana
Published: January 2023

This article maps the circulation of Georgian books abroad, through translation, from 1991 to 2019 (since Georgia’s independence from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics [USSR] to Georgian culture’s internationalization after the guest-of-honorship at the 2018 Frankfurt Book Fair). The analysis demonstrates that interperipheral relations do not necessarily depend on mediation from the centers, as the world system of translations has tended to assume. Although the main locus of translation of Georgian books after 1991 was Western Europe, a “translation zone” distinct from the global centers of consecration situated in the Caucasus-Black Sea region has also emerged, while the shared history of twentieth-century socialism and its translational network may have left some traces in the post-Soviet space in terms of cultural transfers. Equally, the role of cultural mediators has proved crucial in the process of circulation. The article also argues for the use of alternative sources in order to analyze translation flows with the goal of adding nuance to the core-periphery model in light of the limitations of the Index Translationum.
The 4 Cs Strategy for disseminating innovations in university teaching: Classroom, Corridors, Campus, Community
Authors: Gribble Lynn , Beckmann Elizabeth
Published: January 2023

University educators are encouraged to be innovative in their teaching practice, and are often recognised and rewarded for these innovations. However, the effective dissemination and consequent adoption of such innovations is still relatively ineffective, despite the development of diverse dissemination frameworks and strategies. The literature suggests the uptake of innovations is constrained especially by ‘people factors’ related to change, transition and perceived risk, which limits the effectiveness of top-down dissemination. Through a reflective methodology guided by an appreciative inquiry stance and the Discover, Dream, Design, Destiny model, the authors explored dissemination of university teaching practices. Through the Discovery phase, the authors reviewed the literature on innovation and dissemination in the context of reflective inquiry into their own experiences as innovative educators. In the Dream and Design phases, the authors used this new understanding to develop an educator-centred approach strategy for sharing innovations in ways that capitalise on people factors and the principles of persuasive influence towards effective change. The 4Cs Dissemination Strategy systematically connects innovators to their students, colleagues, institutions, and broader networks. After building a scholarly evidence base of the impact of teaching innovations in the Classroom, the focus shifts to person-centred interaction with colleagues in Corridors, across the Campus and into the Community. The Destiny phase is in progress: as a structured professional learning framework supporting innovators to become the advocates for their own innovations in practical ways, the 4Cs Dissemination Strategy has the potential to facilitate the sharing of innovative practice and enhance innovation leadership.

Legal Systems and Boundaries for the Punishment of International Commercial Crimes
Authors: Wang Jiayao
Published: January 2023

This paper focuses on the definition of international commercial crime, how to punish international commercial crime, what legal systems have been introduced to punish international commercial crime, and how to distinguish international commercial crime from ordinary commercial behavior. With the continuous development of the globalization of the world, the mutual integration and collision of economy, commerce, culture, and politics have become more and more obvious and frequent. The mutual integration of different countries and regions in commerce and economy has led to various manifestations of commercial behavior, which inevitably lead to some commercial activities that go beyond normal commercial behavior under the guise of commercial behavior. These behaviors have a negative impact on the international business environment to make huge profits. Some of these acts have even harmed the interests of other countries to the extent of being illegal and criminal.

The Striking Impact of Digital Economy on Individual Happiness: Evidence from China
Authors: Li Wei
Published: January 2023

The further digitized innovations accompanied by the digital economy, have augmented the refinement of our globe and provided remarkable welfare and services that have never been anticipated in the past. Hence, taking China as an example, this paper aims to examine the striking impact of digital financial inclusion (DFI) on individual happiness via using China Family Panel Study (CFPS). According to the results, it found that DFI has a positive impact on individual happiness. Yet, the result varies depending on the individual traits, such as gender. Based on the result, it suggests that the governments or social organizations ought to care about the local digital economy as the digital financial inclusion is incorporated with the driven force of happiness, which has an extensive impact on local economy and individual overall satisfaction. In addition, individual traits such as gender, should also be taken into account in terms of DFI.

The Russia-Ukraine War and Energy Security: Impact and Policies, From a European Perspective
Authors: Jing Xiaotong
Published: January 2023

Since February 2022, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia has exacerbated the global energy crisis resulting from COVID-19. The war has disrupted world energy trade and pushed energy prices surged significantly. This paper tends to analyse the effects of the war on energy security and policies and provide some feasible coping strategies, mainly from a European perspective. It is expected that the analysis of the issue could assist policymakers in combining short- and long-term strategies when making relevant energy policies. In summary, two possible energy policy directions from which European countries may choose involve focusing national energy security and accelerating energy transition. Nevertheless, this research suggest that it is better to combine short-term and long-term energy policies to mitigate current crisis and reduce energy vulnerability in future. Feasible energy strategies involve postponing the phase-out of coal, stricter conservation requirements in housing and transportation sectors, accelerating the deployment of renewable energy, increasing energy efficiency, and mandating obligation to increase energy storage. Moreover, EU member states should cooperate to respond to the current, otherwise, it will cause serious social and political issues.
Study on perovskite photovoltaic materials and photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells
Authors: Shen Tianyun
Published: January 2023

As a renewable energy, solar energy has aroused people’s attention and studies of this issue have become a hot topic throughout the world. How to turn solar energy into electric energy with a relatively better efficiency and lower costs has already become people’s new focus. Photovoltaic (PV) cell is such a new device that uses light to generate electricity. Among all of the PV products, the first-generation PV refers to silicon (Si) wafers with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 26%. However, these PV cells exhibit relatively high cost, limited conversion efficiency, and high processing cost. While, a new material called perovskite photovoltaic material came into people’s eyes. Perovskite materials exhibit variable structures, diversified composition and tubable performance. This material can help to improve the PCE into to a greater level, which is considered as the key performance of PV cells. This work introduces recent developments of halide perovskite and their performances as PV cells.
Correlation Analysis between Crop Yield and Greenhouse Gases
Authors: Cheng Tianxiang , Tu Zhenhai , Zhao Junjie , Zhu Yixuan
Published: January 2023

The relationship between the production of crops and emission of the greenhouse gases is rarely studied in the previous works, which deserves more attention. In this study, four types of greenhouse gases (i.e. carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, and sulfur dioxide) and four types of crops (i.e. rice, wheat, maize, and soybean) are employed to find the correlation between them. To be more specific, this paper used least squares approximation to estimate the trend of greenhouse emission and crop production yield starting from 2000 to 2020 during the experiments. Finally, the experimental result indicated that carbon dioxide emissions increased by 100% when wheat production decreased by 130.774%. In addition, the emission of ozone also has a certain impact on the production of crops. It can be seen that the relationship between the production of crops and emission of the greenhouse gases can be established well and may benefit future agricultural production.
Comparative Study of Latin Hypercube Sampling and Monte Carlo Method in Structural Reliability Analysis
Authors: Wang Zichuan
Published: January 2023

The Monte Carlo (MC) Method is a crucial approach to approximately calculate the reliability of structures, although it requires a large amount of calculation comprising millions of sampling realizations. The Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) method has been raised to improve efficiency, and in which situation this method can significantly outperform the MC method is a pivotal problem that needs to be resolved. In this thesis, comparative sampling is conducted with two methods to calculate the failure probability of a steel beam, and merits, as well as demerits, are concluded with a comparative analysis of the sampling results. The thesis compares the fundamental principles and methodology of the two methods, and the variables involved in reliability analysis are expounded. It is emphasized that the LHS method has the advantage of stratified sampling, and variables consist of loads, geometrical dimensions, and material properties. The details of the example beam are given, followed by the sampling done by two methods. The analysis extracts the noteworthy statistics in sampling, propounding the differences: the LHS method can markedly reduce the sampling number needed to obtain reliable figures with a higher coefficient of variation. Further research should be carried out to study the influence of various distributions on the difference between the two methods. Overall, this thesis provides insights for researchers in the reliability analysis field to utilize the LHS method more sensibly.
Comparison of seismic structure design in the world
Authors: Yang Zedong
Published: January 2023

Aseismic performance is one of the important technical indexes of modern buildings, which has been written into the building codes in various countries. Aseismic structure design is to enhance the stability of the building structure, ensure the safety of the building when the earthquake disaster occurs, reduce the loss and casualties. Since ancient times, innovations have been made in the design of seismic structures worldwide, especially in areas with high earthquake incidence. It was found in the previous research that the calculation method and design of seismic structures in American and Chinese building codes are different. Based on the interest of aseismic design, this paper summarizes the traditional and new aseismic structures. This paper first introduces several commonly used aseismic structures, such as multi-storey masonry, frame and seismic wall construction. Then this paper introduces the characteristics and differences of aseismic structure design in different countries from the modern and ancient time dimensions. In the end, Finally, it is concluded that the seismic structures are different due to the differences of geography, culture and climate in various countries. We can learn from the seismic structure analysis of ancient buildings that Aseismic structure design does not have to resist earthquake, but can reduce the damage of earthquake to the building by reducing the seismic force of the building.

Published: January 2023

Urban parks are vital places for the protection of urban biodiversity and the environment, and their design and ethos are also relevant to the quality of life and human well-being in urban areas.  With the development of cities and the improvement of the living standards of the people, some existing parks and open spaces have been unable to meet people's various needs for urban living environment, so the redesign and renovation of urban parks and open spaces has become a topical issue in the fields of architecture and urban planning. This study selected an urban pocket park in Sydney, Australia, as a case to explore a new approach to designing urban spaces – introducing biophilic concepts to address practical development needs. The case study also demonstrates the great potential and possibilities of biophilic concepts in improving the quality and appropriateness of urban spaces and environments. In addition, this study attempts to integrate the biophilic concept with the design and renovation of existing urban pocket parks and explore the characteristics and feasibility of the concept in terms of different functional areas and details.  The significance of this study is not only to test the possibility of combining biophilic theory with urban spatial planning principles, but also to provide practical experience and suggestions for future construction and development of designs that are dominated or inspired by natural elements.

In today's life, lighting design has become a very important part of the indoor environment, affecting not only the presentation of the design, but also human health. In current lighting designs, there is still a lack of attention to the use of lighting, resulting in visual and health discomfort for occupants. Based on the original light research, this paper analyzes and applies the light to explore the most scientific direction of light use. Analysis of color temperature, light flux, illumination, and other data of lighting types on the market, and investigation of the effect on human perception. The types of lighting should also not be harmful to the eye and safe to use for long periods of time. Reflective materials are another alternative method to reflect natural lighting to the room to bring spaciousness when there is no available natural lighting directly. In the future, there should be experimental lighting that may mimic or replace lighting in nature, or lighting that is fully adapted to the user's senses, emotions, and fatigue. This paper looks forward to finding more appropriate ways to use interior lighting and is dedicated to addressing unreasonable lighting designs in interior design.
Effect of basalt fiber on properties of asphalt and asphalt mixture
Authors: Zhang Chunyu
Published: January 2023

Asphalt mixture is the surface material of flexible pavement and semi-rigid pavement. It directly bears the influence of climate conditions and traffic load, and is prone to aging and fatigue damage. Therefore, using reinforcing agent to improve the performance of asphalt mixture is the long-term goal of researchers.This paper aims to study the effect of basalt fiber on asphalt viscosity and mechanical properties of asphalt mixture. Firstly, by testing the basic properties of asphalt binder with different fiber content, the viscosity characteristics of fiber + asphalt composites are analyzed by using the modified Einstein viscosity equation. The research shows that basalt fiber has obvious toughening effect on asphalt, and the penetration and softening point indexes are suitable to evaluate the viscosity properties of fiber + asphalt composites.Secondly, the effects of different fiber content on the water stability and splitting tensile strength of asphalt mixture are analyzed. The results show that the maximum content of basalt fiber should not be greater than 0.4%; With the increase of fiber content, the splitting strength of asphalt mixture increases, but the increase is not obvious when the content is > 0.30%, while the stiffness modulus continues to increase, indicating that the deformation resistance of asphalt mixture is enhanced after adding fiber. Based on the micromechanics theory of composite materials, the basic principle of basalt mineral fiber improving the strength performance of asphalt mixture is explained. The research shows that basalt mineral fiber can significantly improve the performance of asphalt mixture.

Lingkungan hidup yang nyaman serta bersih  merupakan hal sangat penting  untuk hidup sehat maka  perlu kita jaga dengan sebaik mungkin. Akan tetapi kesadaran masyarakat untuk menjaga kebersihan lingkungan bisa dibilang sudah mulai berkurang. Terbukti dengan maraknya budaya membuang sampah sembarangan yang dilakukan oleh sebagian besar masyarakat . Mulai dari anak-anak hingga orang dewasa seolah tidak merasa bahwa tindakan mereka tersebut salah dan dapat merugikan lingkungan serta orang banyak. Kita tentu tahu salah satu penyebab banjir tidak lain disebabkan oleh budaya membuang sampah sembarangan ke sungai dan tidak mengenal arti lingkungan bersih apalagi membedakan mana jenis sampah organik dan jenis sampah anorganik. Bila masalah ini dibiarkan bukan tidak mungkin akan semakin banyak masalah dan bencanan yang akan kita hadapi di masa mendatang.Diharapkan kesadaran masyarakat untuk dapat memilah sampah organik dan organik. Di mana ke dua jenis sampah ini dapat dikelola dan dimanfaatkan untuk menambah pendapatan keluarga.Sebaiknya disetiap rumah tangga sudah mempunyai tempat sampah yang berbeda sehingga dapat memilah ke dua jenis sampah tersebut, dan tempat sampah juga ditempatkan di daerah-daerah strategis yang terdiri dari tempat sampah organik dan anorganik. Apabila masalah sampah ini sudah dapat diatasi maka lingkungan yang nyaman dan bersih dapat tercipta sehingga masyarakat terhindar dari bahaya serangan penyakit dan banjir
