Application of lithogeochemical and pyrite trace element data for the determination of vectors to ore in the Raja Au–Co prospect, northern Finland
Authors: Raič Sara , Molnár Ferenc , Cook Nick , O'Brien Hugh , Lahaye Yann
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Discovering ore deposits is becoming increasingly
difficult, and this is particularly true in areas of glaciated terrains. As
a potential exploration tool for such terrains, we test the vectoring
capacities of trace element and sulfur isotope characteristics of pyrite,
combined with quantitative statistical methods of whole-rock geochemical
datasets. Our target is the Rajapalot gold–cobalt project in northern
Finland, where metamorphosed Paleoproterozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks
of the Peräpohja belt host recently discovered gold prospects, which
also have significant cobalt enrichment. The focus is particularly put on a
single gold–cobalt prospect, known as Raja, an excellent example of this
unusual cobalt-enriched gold deposit, common in the metamorphosed terranes
of northern Finland. The major lithologies at Rajapalot comprise amphibolite
facies metamorphosed and polydeformed calcsilicate rocks that alternate with
albitic units, mafic volcanic rocks, mica schist and quartzite.
Mineralization at Rajapalot prospects is characterized by an older
Co-mineralizing event and a younger high-grade Au mineralization with
re-mobilization and re-deposition of Co. Detailed in situ laser ablation
inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is a powerful
technique that produces robust trace element and sulfur isotope databases
from paragenetically and texturally well-characterized pyrite from the Raja
prospect. The results are treated with appropriate log-ratio transformations
and used for multivariate statistical data analysis, such as the computation
of principal components. Application of these methods revealed that elements
such as Co, Ni, Cu, Au, As, Ag, Mo, Bi, Te, Se, Sn, U, Tl and W have high
vectoring capacities to discriminate between Co-only and Au–Co zones, as
well as between mineralization stages. The systematic pyrite study suggests
that homogenous sulfur isotopic characteristics (+1.3 ‰ to +5.9 ‰) and positive
loadings of Co, Se, As, Te, Bi and Au onto PC1 are reflective of an early
stage of Co mineralization, while the opposing negative loadings of Mo, Ni,
W, Tl, Cu and Ag along PC1 are associated with pyrites from the
Au-mineralizing event. The sulfur isotopic signature of the latter pyrite
type is between −1.2 ‰ and +7.4 ‰. Subtle patterns recognized from the whole-rock geochemistry favor an
As–Au–Se–Te–W–U signature along the positive axis of PC1 for the
localization of high-grade Au–Co zones, whereas the element group Ni, Cu,
Co, Te, Se and As, which has negative loadings onto PC2, will predict
Co-only zones. This study shows the efficiency of trace element geochemistry in mineral
exploration targeting, which has the capacity to define future targets by
characterizing the metallogenic potential of a host rock, as well as
distinguishing various stages of mineralization.

Abstract. The increased interest in subsurface development (e.g., unconventional
hydrocarbon, engineered geothermal systems (EGSs), waste disposal) and the
associated (triggered or induced) seismicity calls for a better
understanding of the hydro-seismo-mechanical coupling in fractured rock
masses. Being able to bridge the knowledge gap between laboratory and
reservoir scales, controllable meso-scale in situ experiments are deemed
indispensable. In an effort to access and instrument rock masses of
hectometer size, the Bedretto Underground Laboratory for Geosciences and
Geoenergies (“BedrettoLab”) was established in 2018 in the existing
Bedretto Tunnel (Ticino, Switzerland), with an average overburden of 1000 m.
In this paper, we introduce the BedrettoLab, its general setting and
current status. Combined geological, geomechanical and geophysical methods
were employed in a hectometer-scale rock mass explored by several boreholes
to characterize the in situ conditions and internal structures of the rock
volume. The rock volume features three distinct units, with the middle fault
zone sandwiched by two relatively intact units. The middle fault zone unit
appears to be a representative feature of the site, as similar structures
repeat every several hundreds of meters along the tunnel. The lithological
variations across the characterization boreholes manifest the complexity and
heterogeneity of the rock volume and are accompanied by compartmentalized
hydrostructures and significant stress rotations. With this complexity, the
characterized rock volume is considered characteristic of the heterogeneity
that is typically encountered in subsurface exploration and development. The
BedrettoLab can adequately serve as a test-bed that allows for in-depth
study of the hydro-seismo-mechanical response of fractured crystalline rock
masses.

Published: February 2022

Abstract. Prior geophysical surveys provided evidence for a
hypersaline subglacial lake complex beneath the center of Devon Ice Cap,
Canadian Arctic; however, the full extent and characteristics of the
hydrological system remained unknown due to limited data coverage. Here, we
present results from a new, targeted aerogeophysical survey that provides
evidence (i) supporting the existence of a subglacial lake complex and (ii)
for a network of shallow brine/saturated sediments covering ∼170 km2. Newly resolved lake shorelines indicate three closely spaced
lakes covering a total area of 24.6 km2. These results indicate the
presence of a diverse hypersaline subglacial hydrological environment with
the potential to support a range of microbial habitats, provide important
constraints for future investigations of this compelling scientific target,
and highlight its relevance as a terrestrial analog for aqueous systems on
other icy worlds.
Application of the Townsend–George theory for free shear flows to single and double wind turbine wakes – a wind tunnel study
Authors: Neunaber Ingrid , Peinke Joachim , Obligado Martin
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The evolution of the mean velocity and the turbulence downstream of wind turbine wakes within the atmospheric boundary layer has been studied over the past decades, but an analytical description is still missing. One possibility to improve the comprehension of this is to look into the modeling of turbulent bluff body wakes. There, by means of the streamwise scaling of the centerline mean velocity deficit, the nature of the turbulence inside a wake can be classified. In this paper, we introduce the analytical model of classical wake theory as introduced by Albert Alan Townsend and William Kenneth George. To test the theories, data were obtained from wind tunnel experiments using hot-wire anemometry in the wakes of a single model wind turbine and a model wind turbine operating in the wake of an upstream model wind turbine. First, we test whether the requirements under which the Townsend–George theory is valid are fulfilled in the wake of a wind turbine. Based on this verification we apply the Townsend–George theory. Further, this framework allows for distinguishing between two types of turbulence, namely equilibrium and non-equilibrium turbulence. We find that the turbulence at the centerline is equilibrium turbulence and that non-equilibrium turbulence may be present at outer parts of the wake. Finally, we apply the Townsend–George theory to characterize the wind turbine wake, and we compare the results to the Jensen and the Bastankhah–Porté-Agel models. We find that the recent developments from the classical bluff body wake formalism can be used to further improve the wind turbine wake models. Particularly, the classical bluff body wake models perform better than the wind turbine wake models due to the presence of a virtual origin in the scalings, and we demonstrate the possibility of improving the wind turbine wake models by implementing this parameter. We also see how the dissipation changes across the wake, which is important to model wakes within wind farms correctly.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most common bariatric surgical procedures. Despite being easier to perform than other bariatric procedures, it is not free of complications. Leaks are some of the most severe events, and are observed in around 0.5–6% of cases. Use of the near-infrared indocyanine green (ICG) perfusion test during sleeve gastrectomy seems to be promising. However, its application in sleeve gastrectomy is still in fieri. Similarly, ICG is not commonly used in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. This report presents the main evidence from selected literature regarding the use of ICG during sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, along with our remarks. It also provides intraoperative video clips and photographs showing the use of ICG in this surgical field.

Biblische Grundmotive verknüpfen oft wichtige Lebensfelder: konkreter, alltäglicher Gebrauch bestimmter Wörter bereitet einer anderen, symbolischen Sprache Platz. In dieser Studie werden einige biblische Geschichten und Konzepte im Zusammenhang mit Bauen auf ihren möglichen symbolischen Wert hin durchsucht. Es reicht ein Hinweis auf den Bau von Städten, Haüsern, Tempeln, bzw. auf den „Bau“ des menschlichen Körpers oder von Gemeinschaften, um diesen Tatbestand einzusehen. Dem Spruch Jesu vom auf Felsen gebauten Haus wird näher nachgegangen, um dann durch einige sehr konkrete Beispiele eine hermeneutische Anwendung auf unser eigenes Leben vorzubereiten.
A „mennyei hangba” öltöztetett emberi hang: A Tamás apostol cselekedeteiben szereplő „mennyei hang” fontossága a keresztségi szertartás rekonstrukciója szempontjából

Die folgende Studie befasst sich mit der bei der Tauf- Eucharistie der Thomasakten zu hörenden „Himmelsstimme“. Die hier – und zwar in diesem Zusammenhang – an zwei Stellen auftauchende „himmlische Stimme“ bestätigt offensichtlich göttlich ein irdisches Geschehen, und ist als eine in der (in diesem Werk beschriebenen) liturgischen Praxis vorkommende Bestätigungsformel des Spenders nach der Taufe und der Darreichung der Eucharistie zu verstehen. Unsere eingehenden grammatikalischen Untersuchungen der einschlägigen Stellen, sowie die hierfür herangezogenen äußeren Quellen, die bei der Interpretation unserer Passagen von großer Bedeutung waren, haben gezeigt, dass es der Spender selbst war, der am Ende des Initiationsrituals durch eine – in himmlischer Stimme eingekleideten – menschliche Bestätigungsformel die vollzogene Tauf-Eucharistie bestätigte. Die „himmlische Audition“ ist daher als eine „narrative Deutung“ der Taufliturgie zu interpretieren, wobei also der Hauptakzent nicht auf die geheimnisvolle himmlische Audition selbst liegt, sondern auf ihre „bildhafte Stärke“ in der plastischen Erläuterung der Konsequenz des Taufgeschehens. Es geht also vor allem um die Wahrnehmung der „vierten Dimension“ für die Getauften, um die „sakramentale“ Tiefe der physikalisch hörbaren Stimme. Die vox humana wird für den getauften Christen vox Dei.

How to Create a Labour Market in Colonial Situations: Spanish Guinea, Southern Cameroon and Northern Gabon, 1890s–1940s
Authors: Martino Enrique
Published: February 2022

This study is, at once, a historical critique of neoclassical and Marxist economics of labour market formation, a critical history of the colonization of continental Equatorial Guinea by France, Germany and Spain, and a comparative inquiry of the labour recruiters who forged the gateways to expanding imperial peripheries of colonial production. A recruitment boom for the cacao plantations of the Spanish island of Fernando Po swept into Rio Muni and the Fang areas of southern Cameroon and northern Gabon during the first half of the twentieth century. By documenting the volatile phases as well as the recruitment techniques for this great boom and eventual bust, the author argues that recruiters have usually been empirically conflated or conceptually obviated even though they stood in sharp contrast to the slave trade or state-organized forced labour schemes. They were key informal vectors of commercial conquest across a variety of times and regions, and operated non-violently by way of persuasive and distorted communication and immanently through credit and money creation in the form of gifts and advance payments.

Aim: To determine factors influencing the outcome of status epilepticus in patients present to a tertiary care hospital Study Design: Retrospective Cross-sectional study Place and duration: This study was conducted in Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre Karachi Pakistan. From January 2019 to January 2020. Methodology: This study carried out a retrospective review on the patients suffering from Status Epilepticus who were admitted in the hospital of Sindh, Pakistan. Patient details were used to investigate the prognostic values, including demographic, clinical and etiological factors. These factors were determined using statistical tests where a 5% significance level was utilized for these tests. Results: A study group of 180 patients was analyzed and the mortality rate was determined to be 23 (13%). Morbidity was also analyzed and it was observed in 45 (25%) patients. It was also observed that males had significantly higher mortality rates. It was seen that CNS infections were the most common cause of epilepsy in patients suffering from Status Epilepticus (n=54). A greater morbidity rate was found for patients suffering from acute symptomatic causes of Status Epilepticus (p=0.000). Conclusion: The key causes for mortality in patients admitted for Status Epilepticus were CNS infections, prolonged seizures and seeking late medical attention. Higher mortality rates were also associated with males and patients who had poor control of their seizures. Acute and symptomatic etiologies were also found to be a common determinant in higher morbidity rates. Keywords: Status Epilepticus, Central nervous system infections, adults

Leila Khaled: que corpo é este?
Authors: Wadi Shahd
Published: February 2022

Resumo: Em 1969, a revolucionária palestiniana Leila Khaled desviou um avião e ficou conhecida como a primeira mulher hijacker. A história desta mulher foi, estranhamente, pouco ou mal contada. As opiniões em torno da sua personalidade complexa são muito diversas e contraditórias: algumas consideram-na revolucionária, feminista, símbolo da resistência palestiniana e a Che Guevara das mulheres. Outras olham-na como nacionalista, anti-feminista, traidora do seu sexo ou até terrorista. Curiosamente, estas opiniões, na sua maioria, formaram-se sobretudo em torno do corpo de Leila Khaled, especialmente através de um retrato que se tornara icónico, transformando-a num símbolo da resistência palestiniana e das mulheres revolucionárias. Este artigo reflecte sobre o corpo-ícone de Leila Khaled, e como este corpo confundiu as leituras hegemónicas e quebrou estereótipos sobre os corpos das mulheres árabes.

For the first time in the UK, OA is to be mandated for academic books – this means that both monographs and edited chaptered books must be published Open Access from January 2024, though a 1 year embargo is permissible. As the infrastructures, business models and workflows supporting OA book publishing are currently lagging behind journals, especially in the Arts and Humanities, many researchers and institutions have responded to the policy with some consternation, even whilst supporting the aims and ethics of OA publishing.
This article explores some of these apprehensions and questions raised by institutions, academics and by librarians regarding OA book publishing in a UK context, especially regarding funding and sustainability. It aims to dispel certain myths around OA book publishing in general, particularly the notion that Book Processing Charges are a necessary or even desirable element. The article then presents some of the varied models and systems currently in use and development, particularly the work of the UKRI/Research England funded COPIM project (Community- Led Open Access Infrastructures for Monographs), one of the aims of which is to build ways of delivering more sustainable revenue sources to OA publishers. It focuses in particular a key and soon to be launched output of the project: the Open Book Collective.

Published: February 2022

Learner engagement and achievement emotion play a significant role in language learning. However, related research is scant in the field of second language acquisition (SLA). The present study sets out to narrow the gap. It adopts a person-centered latent profile analysis, aiming at discovering the unobserved sub-groups and patterns of foreign language enjoyment, foreign language classroom anxiety, behavioral engagement, and self-perceived achievement within 300 Chinese EFL learners. The results indicate that three distinct profiles could be identified, namely high-FLE, low-FLE, and medium-FLE, each of which appears to have a unique pattern of emotions, engagement and self-perceived achievement. The medium-FLE profile takes the largest proportion of all participants, while the high-FLE profile has the least population. Foreign language (FL) teachers are recommended to carry out interventions to improve learners’ positive experience in learning FL and to better engage learners in activities to improve their achievement.

El estudio tiene como objetivo efectuar un diagnóstico nacional de los grupos vulnerables de personas privadas de libertad en el sistema penitenciario de El Salvador lo que permitirá advertir sobre el estado actual que guardan estas instituciones para la toma de decisiones. El estudio es: descriptivo, cuantitativo, transversal. La población vulnerable es 9,149 personas privadas de libertad, y se obtuvo de acuerdo a la información recopilada del registro del Sistema Penitenciario. Para el año 2020 la tasa Penitenciaria en El Salvador fue de 579,con una sobrepoblación y hacinamiento elevados. Dentro de la población de privados de libertad vulnerable corresponde a un 24 % del total global de 37,977; de los cuales solo un6.65 % representa al género femenino; sin embargo los reclusos con enfermedades crónico degenerativas, Terminal e Infectocontagiosas son los que representan mayormente los grupos vulnerables, seguido de los que tienen una enfermedad mental, luego adultos mayores, extranjeros, mujeres que conviven con hijos dentro del centro penitenciario y, finalmente, con discapacidad física. El nivel crítico de hacinamiento hace difícil en cierta manera que se asegure un respeto básico a los derechos humanos de las personas, aunque el sistema penitenciario hace los esfuerzos necesarios para dar cumplimiento a las mismas. En relación a esta condición se determinó que un 24 % del total de la población penitenciaria se encuentra dentro de los cinco grupos vulnerables de personas privadas de libertad, representando una categoría que requiere atención prioritaria, a causa de las implicaciones sociales y familiares que esto conlleva.

Authors: Portillo Sorto Elmer Jehovani
Published: February 2022

La violencia de pareja ejercida contra la mujer es una de las problemáticas más importantes, ya que causa graves consecuencias e influye en diferentes niveles en el desarrollo de la sociedad. El objetivo de la investigación fue describir la realidad de la violencia de pareja ejercida contra la mujer en el contexto de la iglesia evangélica salvadoreña. El enfoque teórico-metodológico fue mixto (cuantitativo-cualitativo), fenomenológico; el estudio fue transversal, descriptivo, no experimental, fuente de información primaria. La violencia de pareja ejercida contra la mujer obedece a patrones culturales machistas; afectando a mujeres de diferentes edades y contextos socioeconómicos, educacionales y geográficos. Los tipos de violencia más frecuentes fueron: psicológica, económica, física y patrimonial; los menos frecuentres, violencia sexual y, por último, la violencia feminicida. Aunque la iglesia evangélica realiza acciones en las áreas de prevención, atención y acompañamiento; es necesario el fortalecimiento del área de prevención y la implementación de acciones articuladas, interdisciplinarias e interinstitucionales para contrarrestar dicha problemática. Las percepciones de la iglesia evangélica respecto a la violencia contra la mujer fueron que atenta contra principios bíblicos y contra la dignidad de la mujer; los agentes pastorales están convencidos de asumir la responsabilidad para abordar dicha problemática como iglesia.
La salud mental del personal de salud ante el Covid-19
Authors: Chávez Siliézar Darío
Published: February 2022

Algunos medios alertaron que El Salvador, a inicios de la pandemia en el año 2020, tenía una de las más altas letalidades de la región centroamericana en su personal de salud -algunos estudios incluso sugirieron una tasa próxima al 9 %-, principalmente, entre los médicos pertenecientes a grupos etarios de mediana edad. La perspectiva ante el COVID-19, por parte del personal de salud, ha sido parecida a la de la sociedad en general, miedo a infectarse o a infectar a familiares y amigos. El conocimiento de la patología asociada a la infección por el virus y los medios de protección fueron evolucionando a un ritmo menor que la misma pandemia. En una encuesta administrada en Estados Unidos, al inicio de la pandemia por COVID 19, arrojó diferentes causas de ansiedad entre el personal médico: acceso a equipo de bioseguridad apropiado; llevar la infección a su familia; no tener acceso rápido a prueba confirmatorias si se tuviesen síntomas; diseminar el virus en el trabajo; incertidumbre sobre si se contaría con apoyo institucional en caso de presentar la enfermedad (el profesional expuesto o su familia); y falta de acceso a información y comunicación científica fidedigna y actualizada.
