Longer-term outcomes of medicine and pharmacy students at Cardiff University after undergraduate therapeutics and prescribing interprofessional education
Authors: Muir David , Richards Catherine , John Dai Neale
Published: September 2023

Background: Studies have reported students’ satisfaction with and learning from undergraduate interprofessional education (IPE). However, there is insufficient research reporting on any longer-term effects of IPE. The objective is to assess the longer-term impact of learning by 3rd/4th year medical and pharmacy students 12-24 months after a therapeutics/prescribing IPE session.   
Methods: Semi-structured interview transcriptions were explored inductively using thematical analysis, and deductively by using the Modified Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model. Exactly 34 interviews were conducted.   
Results: Inductively, six themes were identified: preparedness; students as learners and teachers; knowledge/skills development; application of learning; session value; and suggestions for change. Deductively, participants found the session enjoyable and interesting (level 1), had modified attitudes of peers (level 2a), acquired knowledge and skills (level 2b), and, those in employment, provided examples of behavioural change (level 3). No organisational change (level 4) or improved patient outcomes (level 5) were reported.   
Conclusion: Both medical and pharmacy participants were able to recall a therapeutic/prescribing IPE session that took place 12-24 months earlier. Participants emphasised the usefulness of interacting with peers, increasing their understanding of each others’ roles, improving communication skills and applying learning within practice. Those developing IPE should consider early consistent delivery, utilise multidisciplinary faculty members and ensure an appropriate student knowledge gap.
Detection of Fractured Limestone Landslides Using Electrical Resistivity Tomography: A Case Study in the Mokattam Plateau, Egypt
Authors: Zayed Mahmoud , Nasr Ahmed
Published: September 2023

Landslides occurred in the Ain Moussa area, north of Mokattam, Egypt. The study aims to detect landslide causes in fractured limestone using electrical resistivity tomography. The result of the electrical resistivity tomography profiles showed that there are two main layers: the first is a high-geoelectrical resistivity layer of fractured limestone covered in some places by backfill sediments, and the second is a low-geoelectrical resistivity layer of shale below the limestone. In between the two layers is a zone that is holding the weight of water leaking from the surface; it has a medium resistivity value. These results were compared with available satellite images. Based on the results, it was found that there is a layer of fractured limestone on the surface. The top part of it is dry, but the bottom part has water leaking from the surface, which has the biggest effect on landslides. The shale layer's surface is irregular, as it was discovered that the most influential part is the low part of the shale's surface, as it contains a high-water content and thus is more affected, and it is where the landslide occurred. It is possible to identify the deepest points of the shale layer, on which the water leaking from the surface collects, along the plateau, as these places are more likely to cause landslides.

Authors: Mohammed Mohammed , Awadh Salih
Published: September 2023

This study aims to test ceramic waste's capacity to remove nickel from aqueous solutions through adsorption. Ceramic wastes were collected from the Refractories Manufacturing Plant in Ramadi. Through a series of lab tests, the reaction time (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 minutes, and Ni concentrations (20, 40, 60, and 80) were tested using ceramic wastes with a solid to liquid ratio of 2g/30ml. At a temperature of 30ºC, the pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), and electrical conductivity (EC) were all measured. The equilibrium time was set at 30 min. Thereafter, the sorption (%) somewhat increased positively with the Ni concentration. Freundlich's equation showed that the adsorption intensity is 1.1827 and the Freundlich constant is 58.15, Langmuir Equation showed the sorption capacity is 1.8779, and the sorption of Ni fit with the Langmuir and Freundlich equations. It was clarified how ceramic waste material can reduce the Ni concentrations from aqueous solutions protecting the environment.

Published: September 2023

The presence of clay minerals of any kind and in any quantity and distribution pattern in hydrocarbon wells causes many problems in the qualitative assessment of the reservoir, A geochemical and mineralogical study are conducted on the reservoir units of the Asmari Group (early Miocene-Oligocene) to identify the clay mineral types present in the reservoir and the effect these clay minerals have on the reservoir's petrophysical properties. the Jeribe Formation (unit A) and the Upper Kirkuk Formation (unit B) are represented the main units of the Asmari reservoir ten samples from the Asmari group of the Fauqi oil field were chosen: five from the southern dome denoted by a number 65 and the same from the northern dome denoted by a number 64, Samples 1 and 2 represent unit A, while samples 3, 4, and 5 represent unit B. The mineralogical study showed that the non-clay minerals are represented by dolomite, calcite, anhydrite, quartz, and halite, while the clay minerals are represented by Illite, kaolinite, and chlorite, the geochemical analysis showed that the main oxides in the reservoir units of the Al-Asmari group are: silica, alumina, iron oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, sodium oxide, potassium oxide, titanium dioxide, sulfate, and chlorine, the highest percentage of the main oxides are calcium oxide, sulfate, and silica, respectively, and that the northern dome has a higher percentage of calcium, magnesium, sulfate, and the loss of ignition than the southern dome, while the percentage of silica and alumina in the southern dome is higher than its percentage in the northern dome which indicates a high percentage of clay minerals in the southern dome. The positive correlation between potassium and sodium and the negative correlation between potassium and calcium indicates that the Illite is of the Na-Illite type. Due to its lower charge Na and weak hydrogen bonds, Na-illite has greater dispersibility than Ca-illite and is present in all samples, making it the most clay mineral affecting the petrophysical properties in the study area.
Structural style of Taq Taq Anticline in the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region from the Integrated Surface and Subsurface Data
Authors: Syan Soran , Omar Abdulla
Published: September 2023

Taq Taq is a prolific oilfield in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. It consists of a longitudinal double plunged anticline that is located within the Foothill Zone of the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt. We studied the structural style of the Taq Taq Anticline from three balanced and retro-deformed structural cross-sections constrained by the integration of intensive surface geological observations, seismic sections and well data. The sections were constructed to understand the variation in the structural architecture of the anticline both along strike and up-section, and to describe the kinematic evolution and plausible fold model of the structure. The anticline exhibits symmetrical to slightly reverse asymmetry, and bounded by two main blind thrust faults (fore- and back-thrusts) that dip toward each other. The thrusts are interpreted to be detached along a deep-lying décollement in the KurraChine Formation (Upper Triassic) without involving basement fault. Thus, the structure can be considered as a faulted-detachment fold anticline with pop-up geometry. The average horizontal shortening value ranges between 5.6% and 8.1% with an average value of ca. 6.7%. Generally, the shortening values decrease gradually to the up section due to slight decrease in the fault offset value up-section. The increase in deformation intensity, asymmetry, shortening rate and geometry variation toward SE is mainly related to displacement variation on individual thrusts, fold wavelength and amplitude, or may be related to the effect of strike-slip fault. Therefore, the middle and NW parts of the structure can be considered as a better well location for the Taq Taq crestal reservoir.

Published: September 2023

The current study explains the hydrochemical processes controlling the variance in the hydrochemical facies for eighteen samples obtained from the study area. The groundwater samples were analyzed for the major ions "cations and anions" data in mg/l, total dissolved solids (TDS) in mg/l, electrical conductivity (EC) in μS/cm, pH unit less, and temperature in °C. Piper trilinear (three-line) diagram indicates the overall of samples belong to class 1 (Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, SO42-), category I (SO42- - Cl- and Ca2+ - Mg2+) and permanent total hardness (calcium chloride type). The contribution of cations in the study area was different percentages (dominant cation sodium (Na+)), while the sulfate (SO42-) is the dominant ion of the groundwater in the study area. The analytical values showed that overall the samples were brackish water and high enrichment salts within the impermissible limits of the World Health Organization standards. Irrigation parameters and water quality index were calculated for samples to assess water for agricultural and drinking uses for the inhabitants of the study area. The basic exchange is the exchange of sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) ions in water with magnesium (Mg2+) and calcium (Ca2+) ions in materials which are exposed to weathering.

Authors: Algburi Ammar , Alatroshe Radhwan , Alrashedi Mohamed
Published: September 2023

The idea of the current work was the combination of the organic geochemical analyses, and the study of sedimentology characteristics of the source rock samples collected from the Ispartaçay Formation (Cretaceous period) between the city of Antalya and the city of Isparta, southwestern Turkey. Total Organic Carbon analysis and Rock-Eval pyrolysis were performed on the 24 samples taken from the study area, in order to evaluate quantitatively, and qualitatively organic matter and thermal maturity to determine the potential for hydrocarbon production. As well as studying the petrographic features (component and diagenesis), microfacies analysis, and sedimentary environment of the Ispartaçay Formation. The successions of the Ispartaçay Formation are poor to fair organic matter content and consist of dark grayish limestone, marly limestone, shale, massive cherty limestone, and thin-bedded radiolarian limestone. Total Organic Carbon values indicate that Ispartaçay Formation rocks are fair potential. Besides this, most of the samples from the Ispartaçay Formation contain mature to pot-mature (Type III -Type IV) kerogen. Petrographically, the particle portion of the Ispartaçay sediments is composed mainly of radiolarians, and planktonic foraminifera, In addition to the presence of a proportion of benthic foraminifera, whereas the groundmass is composed of micrite. Generally, the present sediments are subjected to some diagenetic processes like silicification, cementation, and dissolution. The microfacies analysis revealed that the succession of the Ispartaçay Formation is composed of alternations of two major microfacies, namely lime mudstone and lime wackestone microfacies. Depending on the facies and petrographic evidence, Ispartaçay Formation represents sediments deposited in the mid to outer ramp environment.

Published: September 2023

Традиция декорирования тела является одной из древнейших смысловых практик в истории человечества. В статье предлагается реконструкция традиции татуировок у алеутов, одного из древнейших народов Северной Пацифики. В научный оборот вводятся материалы коллекции, собранной И.Г. Вознесенским (фонды МАЭ имени Петра Великого РАН (Кунсткамеры)), а также этнографические описания и археологические данные. Анализ инструментария для татуировок показал особое отношение к этим предметам, их статус и значимость процедуры. На основе анализа инструментов, красящих пигментов, орнамента выявлены особенности татуирования у алеутов. В качестве краски после предварительной обработки использовались уголь, белая известь, медная руда, кровь. Этнографические материалы показывают, что для нанесения татуировок у алеутов служили голова, туловище, нижние и верхние конечности; особое внимание вызывают орнаментальные зоны — лицо (щеки, подбородок), передняя часть предплечья, спина, руки и ноги. Основные виды орнамента — геометрический, предметный, зооморфный и растительный. Предложена гипотеза понимания процесса татуажа как одного из ключевых традиционных элементов культуры у населения коренных жителей Тихоокеанского побережья Азии и Америки. Современные алеуты отказались от татуировок на лице и теле, но в то же время ряд проектов, реализуемых в Канаде и США, направлен на сохранение традиций татуировки.

One of the oldest semantic practices in the history of mankind is the tradition of decorating the body. The article proposes a reconstruction of the tattoo tradition among the Aleuts. This is one of the oldest peoples of Northern Pacifica. Materials of the collection collected by I.G. Voznesensky (funds of the Peter the Great Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Kunstkamera)), and ethnographic descriptions and archaeological data are presented. The analysis of tattoo tools showed a special attitude to these subjects, their special status and the significance of the procedure. The analysis of tools, colouring pigments, and ornaments revealed the peculiarities of tattooing among the Aleuts. After pretreatment coal, white lime, copper ore, blood were used as paint. According to ethnographic materials, the Aleuts tattooed their heads and bodies. They especially tattooed such ornamental areas as the face (cheeks, chin), the front of the forearm, back, arms, and legs. The hypothesis of understanding the process of tattooing as one of the main traditional elements of culture among the indigenous population of the Pacific coast of Asia and America is proposed. Modern Aleuts have abandoned tattoos on the face and body, but at the same time, there are projects in Canada and the USA that are aimed at preserving tattoo traditions.

Features of the artistic language of E.G. Mikhnov-Voitenko in the 1950s–1960s
Authors: Хилько Б.В.
Published: September 2023

В статье делается попытка периодизации раннего творчества знаменитого ленинградского абстракциониста Е.Г. Михнова-Войтенко и выделения основных особенностей его художественного языка в 1950–1960-е годы. Михнов-Войтенко является признанным, но до сих пор малоизученным художником. В основном в работах, посвященных его живописи, внимание уделяется 1970–1980-м годам, а также циклу «Тюбик» (1956–1959), тогда как ранние фигуративные работы, коллажи и графические серии 1960-х годов исследователи обходят стороной. Для характеристики произведений использованы методы формального и компаративного анализа. В статье выделяется три периода творчества художника — фигуративный, коллажный и графический. Несмотря на разнородные по характеру произведения, создаваемые художником в это время, определены черты художественного языка, присущие всему периоду в целом. К таковым относятся особая ритмическая организация каждого произведения, работа с пятном и линией, а также целостность, монументальность формы, вызванные стремлением отразить весь мир полностью в границах каждого отдельного произведения — конкреции. В заключение делается предположение о том, что данные особенности могут стать ключом к пониманию позднего творчества Михнова-Войтенко 1970–1980-х годов.

The article attempts to periodize the first half of the creative path of the famous Leningrad abstract artist E.G. Mikhnov-Voitenko and highlight the main features of his artistic language in the 1950s and 1960s. Mikhnov-Voitenko is a recognized but still little studied artist. Researchers in the works devoted to his painting mainly pay attention to the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the Tube cycle (1956–1959), while they avoid early figurative works, collages and graphic series of the 1960s. To characterize the works, the methods of formal and comparative analysis are used. The article highlights three periods of the artist's work — figurative, collage and graphic. Despite the heterogeneous nature of the works created by the artist at that time, the text highlights the features of the artistic language inherent in the entire period as a whole. These include the special rhythmic organization of each work, work with spots and lines, as well as the integrity, monumentality of the form, caused by the desire to reflect the whole world completely within the boundaries of each individual work. In conclusion, an assumption is made that these features can become the key to understanding the late work of Mikhnov-Voitenko in the 1970s–1980s.

Рассматриваются основные темы, символы, художественные приемы и техники, используемые мастером в его произведениях, предоставлен анализ некоторых его наиболее значимых работ. Применяется междисциплинарный методологический подход, объединяющий иконометрию, иконологию, формально-стилистический и семантический методы. Показано, что иконометрия, являясь важнейшим композиционно-символическим методом в буддийской скульптуре, открывает возможности нового анализа и интерпретации произведений искусства. Проведен анализ иконометрических построений скульптур С.-Ц. Цыбикова, и в результате выявлена связь мировоззренческой (буддийской) основы его творчества с используемыми художественными приемами.

The article is devoted to the oeuvre of the Buryat sculptor, architect, religious thinker Sanzhi-Tsybik Tsybikov (1877–1934). The author examines the main themes, symbols, and artistic techniques used by the artist in his works and analyses some of his most significant sculptures. An interdisciplinary methodological approach combining iconometry, iconology, formal-stylistic and semantic methods formed the basis of the research. Iconometry, being the most important compositional and symbolic method in Buddhist sculpture, opens up opportunities for new analysis and interpretation of works of art. The analysis of the iconometric constructions of S. Tsybikov's sculptures revealed the connection of the ideological (Buddhist) basis of his work with the artistic techniques used.

In the present paper Lie theory of diﬀerential equations is expanded for ﬁnding symmetry geometric vector ﬁelds of Poisson equation. Similarity variables extracted from symmetries are applied in order to ﬁnd reduced forms of the considered equation by using Erdélyi-Kober operator. Conservation laws of the space-space-fractional generalized Poisson equation with the Riemann-Liouville derivative are investigated via Noether’s method. By means of the concept of non-linear self-adjointness, Noether’s operators, formal Lagrangians and conserved vectors are computed. A collocation technique is also applied to give a numerical simulation of the problem.

In this paper, motivated by the works of Timnak et al. [Filomat 31(15) (2017), 4673–4693], Ogbuisi and Izuchukwu [Numer. Funct. Anal. 40(13) (2019)] and some other related results in literature, we introduce an iterative algorithm and employ a Bregman distance approach for approximating a zero of the sum of two monotone operators, which is also a common solution of equilibrium problem involving pseudomonotone bifunction and a ﬁxed point problem for an inﬁnite family of Bregman quasi-nonexpansive mappings in the framework of a reﬂexive Banach space. Using our iterative algorithm, we state and prove a strong convergence result for approximating a common solution of the aforementioned problems. Furthermore, we give some applications of the consequences of our main result to convex minimization problem and variational inequality problem. Lastly, we display a numerical example to show the applicability of our main result. The result presented in this paper extends and complements many related results in the literature.

Published: September 2023

Sprint performance and therefore sprint training play important roles in a range of sports and numerous methods to enhance sprint performance have been proposed. One such method is resisted sprinting, whereby a predetermined load (% body mass) or a load which elicits a reduction in sprint velocity, is towed over a prescribed distance. Resisted sprint training can be implemented chronically or acutely. The latter is used to elicit a performance enhancement via post-activation potentiation whereby a superior performance may be achieved when the activity is preceded by a specific stimulus, usually as part of the warm up. The purpose of this study was to determine if a post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) could be achieved following an acute resisted sprint at two different decreases in sprint velocity using novel resisted sprint equipment (Run Rocket). Eleven healthy male, recreationally trained volunteers (age 23.4 ± 1.9 years, height 180.5 ± 3.5 cm, body mass 86.4 ± 14.5 kg) participated in the study. A maximal 15 m baseline body mass only sprint was performed on the initial visit to ascertain 5 and 15 m sprint time. Participants visited a further two times which consisted of a pre-conditioning resisted sprint activity using the Run Rocket at two different resistance settings in a randomised counter-balanced design. A repeated measures analysis of variance (rmANOVA) showed no significant differences in sprint time, velocity or acceleration between the three conditions (p> 0.05). However, when assessing individuals by the smallest worthwhile change, some participants may have decreased their sprint time. Therefore, the use of resisted sprints did not elicit a post-activation performance enhancement in recreationally trained individuals and may not be beneficial for augmenting acute performance in this population. Individual responses to this type of training may vary and should be a consideration for strength coaches.

Safety, like risk, is an extended concept. Just like risk, safety provokes strong emotions and licenses in the exercise of power. But. While risk threatens, safety promises. And in this power to promise what it cannot offer lies a particular danger. Recognizing this danger requires special attention. The legislation of many states assigns to this term criminal legal value that distinguishes them from punishment. Apart from punishment, protective measures are referred to in many ways around the world: "corrective and protective measures", security measures", "other criminal measures of a legal nature", "preventive measures. A summary of the analysis of the rules on protective measures around the world allows us to define them as a set of preventive measures established by criminal law and applied by the competent authorities, to the person considered dangerous due to his mental state or consumption of dangerous substances. When we act in the public space, we have a duty to respect others at least as much as we respect ourselves or to the same extent as we expect to be respected.  The description of humanity as a basic element in order to put in rational terms the necessity of awareness of the aspect that the instrumentalization of the other in order to achieve one's own goals represents, mainly, the reduction of the other to the quality of object. Respect is part of our duties towards ourselves and others, what is important from the point of view of our exposure is not so much the respect we have in relation to ourselves, but respect for customers, for users, for other citizens, for the whole community. A review of legislation and psychiatric factors is called for to provide practical guidance and assistance in conducting assessments to defend against persons with mental illness. There is a participation of psychiatrists who routinely conduct assessments of competence and expertise in this complex area. The established approaches and methods will ensure the accuracy of assessing the mental state of the defendant at the time of committing the crime.
Detention

Preventive measures at present may be ordered only if there is evidence or well-founded character from which there is a reasonable suspicion that the individual has committed a criminal act and is necessary to achieve the aim pursued by taking them. The categories of preventive measures, with the exception of detention and preventive arrest, are changed, defending judicial control, judicial control on bail and house arrest compared to the old regulation which referred to the obligation not to leave the locality and the obligation not to leave the country together with detention and preventive arrest. Procedural aspects are extremely important in this preventive measure, such as the communication under signature of the detained person, of his/her rights and obligations, the duration for which he/she can be detained and, in certain special cases, informing the diplomatic representatives of the state of which the suspect or accused person is a citizen. In the case of certain persons, the law also requires certain additional requirements to be met in order to order detention, such as in the case of deputies or senators or judges, prosecutors or assistant magistrates. The measure of detention is the most used preventive measure and that it has a particular effect on the suspect as well as on the course of the trial. As it has a special status, being the only measure that can only be ordered during criminal investigations, I think it is very important to be aware of it. Detention is a preventive measure in the procedure of which numerous procedural errors can occur, so we considered necessary a thorough study to clarify all aspects of this preventive measure.
Criminal proceedings

Offences that break the rules in the area of criminal law will lead to conflicts in criminal law, and to this end, the judiciary must resolve criminal proceedings. Criminal conduct can be reviewed and analysed from the perspective of substantive, substantive law, procedural law and formal law. With the adoption and promulgation of criminal law, a criminal legal relationship was formed. Defending social values and imposing certain behaviors, on the other hand are individuals. Laws or laws covered by the provisions of the Criminal Code. The state has the right to prosecute without observing the rules of criminal law, which is an important part of criminal proceedings. When committing a crime, the judicial department exercises its right to defend social values by promoting criminal behavior, so virtual laws have been substantially transformed and are becoming active, and criminal proceedings have begun to restore law and order. Criminal procedure is a right, from a procedural perspective, it is an abstraction and it is a lever to exercise this right. In criminal law governing criminal acts, the prosecution of conflicts caused by violations of criminal law is implicitly institutionalized to prosecute those who commit such acts. Criminal disputes, as a legal means of transmitting conflict reports to court, already exist in the legal norms of criminal law, but have become a specific means and can be used. The consequence of committing an unlawful act is the use (exercise) of the act. Until the moment when the illegal act is committed, the act conferred by the legal norms practically exists as a legal power of creation. From that moment on, the act can be exercised, that is, a power with real effect.
The defendant and his rights

Antisocial acts are the natural product resulting from the relationship between individuals, existing and having the possibility that they are framed as inhuman, unethical, which do not depend on any kind of legal settlement. However, they cannot be considered as criminal offences only when the law considers them to be prohibited, punishing them with penalties. Citizens enjoy the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution or other laws, as well as the obligations provided for therein, guaranteeing equality before the law, public authorities, without discrimination. Citizens must exercise their rights and freedoms in good faith so as not to violate the rights and freedoms of others. The conduct of criminal proceedings confers on the offender different qualities but each with different legal meanings, and depending on these procedural qualities, the active subject of the crime will have certain rights and obligations, which he will bear in the procedural activity. According to the current legislation, the criminal investigation body, in order to find out the truth, is obliged, even if the defendant admits the act, to collect evidence in his favor and against him. The defendant is considered by the entire legal literature to be the only main part of the criminal process, which cannot be disputed. At the same time, the central subject of the completion of the procedural activity, through sincere statements, the defendant contributes to the just settlement of the case, the judicial bodies having the possibility to establish the hypostasis in which the deed was committed.

This paper aims to understand how creative entrepreneurs’ (CEs) motivation influences on sustainability of the cultural code of a nation (SCCN) through generating cultural creative capital (CCCs) in the Kazakhstani mare milk industry (MMI). It presents a challenge for CE to combine and integrate two such distinct sectors: the high-growth technology and cultural production.  We apply our finding on a practical basis in order to create a synergy of cultural creative development, where the main role is assigned to CE. This study purposes to explore the key mechanism of CE impact to SCCN. Content analysis has been used along with 31 in-depth interviews to obtain the research objective. Data was collected from CEs through an interview, along with archival information to construct a synergy of cultural creative development with CEs. The study unfolds by coding themes using Atlas.ti 9 several crucial factors like motivation, domain-relevant skills, affordance and commercialization, and cultural protection attitude to SCCN by cultural creative industries (CCIs). The findings of this research revealed that SCCN is achieved through undertaking a set of process models of CEs in the MMI that can be used as a guideline for a variety of stakeholders. Our paper ends with drawing a set of concluding remarks and insights for theory and practice. May assist as a guideline for other traditional industry which is based on cultural products, or some practitioners which has similar type with MMI may use them to build another business.
