Utilization of GeoAI Applications in the Health Sector: A Review
Authors: Amponsah Anastasia , Latue Philia , Rakuasa Heinrich
Published: September 2023

This research describes the use of GeoAI, a geospatial data-based artificial intelligence, to improve the understanding and management of health in a global context. GeoAI enables the integration of geographic data such as maps, satellite images, and environmental information with artificial intelligence technology to analyze disease spread, health risk factors, and health resource management more accurately. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The type of research used is a literature study. The literature review database used is by searching on Google Scholar, Scopus, and Google Book. The results of this study show that the basic concept of GeoAI involves more accurate spatial analysis, disease spread monitoring, disease outbreak prediction, and more efficient health resource management. However, challenges such as access to adequate data, lack of understanding among health professionals, and data privacy and security issues need to be addressed for GeoAI to be effectively implemented. In conclusion, GeoAI has great potential in improving public health and addressing global health challenges, but requires careful steps in its implementation.
Research on the Improvement of Rural Governance System Led by Grassroots Party Organizations in China
Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Liu Zhen
Published: September 2023

According to the basic requirements of the rural revitalization strategy for the improvement of grassroots party organizations, fully considering the obstacles to effective rural governance, county-level local governments and other rural governance entities can further improve the new rural governance system from the following seven aspects: Give full play to the role of grassroots party organizations in rural governance; improve the rural governance normative system that combines “self-government”, “rule of virtue”, and “rule of law”; innovate from the three dimensions of “point”, “line” and “surface” grass-roots party organizations; optimize rural governance; build a mechanism for integrating the interests of grass-roots party organizations; improve the coordination and linkage mechanism of discipline inspection and supervision areas; pay attention to the leading and enlightening role of “village sages” in the new era; and build a quantitative performance evaluation index system for rural governance.
Multi-layered Mode of Rent Utilization in China: Based on the Review of the Latest Development of Rent-seeking Theory
Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Gao Jianyi , Sun Jin
Published: September 2023

China has made great achievements in the economic development, especially since the reform and opening-up policy implemented in the end of 1978. Meanwhile, a large number of rents have been created and allocated by governments and rent seeking activities have been widespread in extensive industrial sectors. However, the conventional rent-seeking theory fails to account for China’s developmental experience. Based on the review of the latest development of rent-seeking theory, this study discusses the multi-layered mode of rent utilization in China. The special mode of rent utilization is defined from two different respects. On the one hand, the authority of creating and allocating rents are scattered in the hand of multi-layered bodies including the central government level and the different levels of local governments. On the other hand, rent seekers are also of multi-layered characteristics. In both cases, local governments play a great important role. It is this special kind of mode of rent utilization that explains the paradox of rent-seeking in China’s economic development.

El deterioro del medio ambiente ha alcanzado niveles que ponen en riesgo la subsistencia del ser humano. La degradación de los ecosistemas impacta en la calidad del suelo, aire y agua. La alimentación adquiere especial relevancia en momentos en los que la pobreza y el hambre agobia a grandes sectores de la población. La preferencia de los intereses económicos sobre las políticas sociales y ambientales, han llevado a prácticas agrícolas intensivas que resultan insostenibles al comprometer recursos naturales, como el agua y a degradar el medio físico que las rodea, de diversas formas, como la contaminación producida por la cantidad de pesticidas y/o fertilizantes utilizados en las parcelas. Se han tomado ya algunas medidas al respecto. En este trabajo analizamos la situación y se proponen rutas de acción para contribuir al logro de la autosuficiencia alimentaria que se requiere para satisfacer las demandas de la población creciente en el mundo en general.

Los yacimientos naturalmente fracturados son las características geológicas más importantes que contienen grandes cantidades de reservas de hidrocarburos. Por lo tanto, la identificación y evaluación de zonas fracturadas son cruciales en la optimización de la producción de petróleo y en las decisiones de desarrollo de campos. Si bien se han introducido diferentes técnicas para detectar y caracterizar las zonas fracturadas, es posible que el uso de cada método por separado no conduzca a una descripción completa y detallada del yacimiento ni a una menor recuperación de hidrocarburos. El propósito de este documento es proporcionar un enfoque combinado para caracterizar los yacimientos naturalmente fracturados. La metodología propuesta se fundamenta en la integridad del reservorio como la heterogeneidad, indicios comprobados de fracturamiento y acumulación de hidrocarburo, para identificar la naturaleza del reservorio entre un sistema gobernado completamente por matriz, fractura o una combinación de las dos. Por lo general, esto se realiza con el estudio de registros de pozos y muestras de núcleos, para determinar litotipos. Una vez definidos el tipo de sistema y litotipos, se puede identificar que registros son afectados por sistemas con fracturas, diferenciando errores por naturaleza física o condiciones operacionales de adquisición de registros. El modelo petrofísico y la metodología para ello, se logra desarrollar cuando se conocen los registros y modelos matemáticos que identifican los litotipos y propiedades de matriz – fractura.

Published: September 2023

The study examined the effect of corporate governance on the profitability of manufacturing and allied firms listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya. The study was anchored by agency theory and stakeholder theory. Nine manufacturing and allied firms listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya constituted the target population and a census approach was adopted. The study found that board size had significant implications on the profitability of manufacturing and allied firms listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya (p= 0.009, β= -0.023). It was established that board independence is significant in predicting profitability (p= 0.011, β= -0.001). External audit quality had a significant effect on profitability (p= 0.001, β= 0.258). Institutional ownership was significant in determining profitability (p= 0.000, β= 0.002). The study recommends that listed manufacturing and allied firms should ensure that an effective board is constituted which is optimum in size. The study further recommends that a blended board should be ensured comprising of both executive and non-executive directors which reflects the level of independence of the board. It was also recommended that firms should ensure that a highly reputable external auditor is appointed. In addition, firms should strive towards having a higher proportion of institutional shareholding to outstanding shareholdings. Given the 53.53 percent unexplained variation in profitability, further studies on manufacturing and allied firms listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya can consider other corporate governance attributes.
Antimicrobial efficacy of Terminalia chebula (Haritaki) ethanol extracts against Escherichia coli and Salmonella isolated from commercial broiler
Authors: Ridoan Pasha Md , Azizul Islam SKM
Published: September 2023

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most concerning issues globally for public health. To tackle this problem, elucidation of folk medicine could be an option to treat infectious diseases and reduce the risk of antimicrobial resistance in both human and veterinary medicine. Escherichia coli and Salmonella are two common bacterial pathogens of poultry in Bangladesh. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of ethanolic extract of Terminalia chebula (Haritaki) fruits against these two organisms and some other commercial antimicrobials, including ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, colistin sulfate, tetracycline, and trimethoprim. For this purpose, a total of 90 commercial broiler chickens were purchased from local markets, sacrificed, and liver samples were collected for isolation of E. coli and Salmonella spp. A total of three concentrations (1mg/µL, 0.5mg/µL, and 0.25mg/µL) of the ethanolic extract of Terminalia chebula fruit were tested against these organisms. The Terminalia chebula extracts showed a zone of inhibition at 1mg/µL dose soaked the disc with 20 µl extracts against E. coli (12-13 mm) and Salmonella spp. (10-11 mm), which are similar to the intermediary zone sensitivity of colistin sulfate, tetracycline, and trimethoprim. In summary, we may conclude that ethanolic extracts of the Terminalia chebula fruits would be a potential source as antimicrobial agents

Published: September 2023

The study was conducted to develop and evaluate the nutritional, physical and sensory quality along with storage attributes of cake enriched with a special rice variety released from Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, BR14. The percentages of rice flour used in the cake formulations were 20%, 50%, and 100% to replace wheat flour. The moisture, protein, fat, ash, crude fiber and carbohydrate content of composite flour cake samples were found in the range of 21.67-28.33%, 5.60-6.50%, 14.41-21.07%, 0.95-1.02%, 0.49-1.27% and 49.81-54.03% respectively. The composite flour cake samples with different level of rice flour were found nutritionally better than the control sample although there were remarkable changes in specific volume, crumb and the crust color with different levels of rice flour supplementation. In addition, a significant variation in color, flavor, texture, taste and overall acceptability of cake samples were also observed. Cake sample with 50% rice flour substitution was the most acceptable in terms of color, flavor, texture and overall acceptability compared to other samples. The cake samples were packed in low density polythene bags and changes in moisture content were evaluated storing in room temperature (250 C). Thus, acceptable cake formulations in comparison with wheat flour cake were developed with special rice flour supplementation

Irish Zn-Pb deposits – a review of the evidence for the timing of mineralization. Constraints of stratigraphy and basin development.
Authors:   Independent Consultant, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland, Andrew Colin J.
Published: September 2023

The Irish Midlands is ranked first in the world in terms of zinc metal discovered per sq. km. with over 14 Mt of contained metal found to date. The largest deposit at Navan exceeding 150 Mt of production plus remaining resources, and four other deposits having been brought into production since 1962 and a further 20 prospects discovered including the major Pallas Green deposit. The deposits such as Navan, Tynagh, Silvermines, Lisheen, Galmoy and Pallas Green and others that host this vast resource show varying host-rocks, mineral textures, thermo-chemical and isotopic signatures. However, amongst this apparent diversity lie some major similarities that form the basis of the definition of being “Irish-type” which form a specific spectrum of styles that lie between MVT-type and SedEx-types. In order to develop any robust model for ore deposit formation it is critical to establish reliable age constraints and an understanding of the depositional and structural environments for the host rocks and thus the mineralizing processes. In the Irish Midlands there is an abundance of geological and isotopic evidence that places the age of the mineralization within a short time frame related to two extensional periods around 347Ma and 345Ma in the late Courceyan to early Chadian. The host carbonate sequences that host the mineralization encompass an upward deepening transgressive sequence initially deposited in shallow basins. By using isopach plots of conodont biozones sedimentation pat-terns show that both lithological and thickness variations are strongly influenced by active basin evolution around these times. Mineralization is geologically constrained to have occurred at relatively shallow depths and is largely contemporaneous with diagenesis and dominantly occurred before locally catastrophic basin breakup (rifting) occurred setting the shape of later (post-ore) carbonate sedimentation. Although intra-cratonic basalt dominated volcanism is present in the Irish Midlands the mineralization generally pre-dates these volcanics, which appear to be coeval with the rifting in the latest Chadian to early Arundian. The critical factor in the size of the mineralized bodies appears to be the degree of “openness” of the mineralizing system. Thus, near surface exhalation and/or the unroofing by erosion of, or dissolution and collapse of hangingwall units, appears to be a critical aspect in the development of large-scale mineralizing systems. Closed “tight” deep fracture-controlled systems where lithification had advanced are not economic. In simple terms mineralization occurred at relatively shallow burial depths of between 250m and the contemporaneous seafloor and this is possibly the defining feature of the Irish-type deposits.
Ore depositional processes at the carbonate-hosted Tara Deep Zn-Pb deposit, Navan, Ireland

The Tara Deep Zn-Pb deposit (currently 26.2 Mt @ 8.4% Zn, 1.6% Pb) is the latest major discovery by Boliden Tara Mines (first announced in 2016) which significantly adds to the existing world-class Navan deposit. Located 2 km south of the Navan deposit in Co. Meath, Ireland, economic mineralization is hosted by upper Tour-naisian carbonates (Pale Beds; 87% of the total economic resource), within a degraded footwall of a major south-dipping normal fault, and also within lower Visean sedimentary breccias (‘S Fault’ Conglomerates; SFC). Sphalerite and galena are the dominant sulphides, with massive, cavity fill and brecciated textures dominating. These textures attest complex, subsurface, episodic mineralization events that display considerable reworking, fracturing, dolomitization, open-space infill and selective replacement. Lower Visean syn-rift sliding, erosion, and deposition of thick debrites and calc-turbidites at Tara Deep record basin margin processes near extensional faulting associated with formation of the Dublin Basin. These debrites host detrital sulphide-rich clasts and offer unambiguous evidence that the onset of mineralization occurred during the upper Tournaisian. δ34S values of base metal sulphides have a bimodal distribution suggesting both bacteriogenic (-13.5 to -3.6‰) and hydrothermal sulphur sources (+3.4 to +16.2‰). Both textural and sulphur isotope data reveal the dynamic nature of mineralization at Tara Deep and infer fluid mixing. Lead isotope analyses display remarkably homogeneous 206Pb/204Pb of 18.23 ±0.006 (2σ, n=25), which is coincident with Pb isotope data across the Navan deposit. Subsequently, Tara Deep and Navan are isotopically similar, showing both a statistically identical Pb isotopic signature and a bimodal sulphide S isotopic distribution and homogeneous sulphate signature. In particular, the Pb isotopes and the hydrothermal S signature, correlate with Navan and support the view that base-metals were leached from the underlying Lower Palaeozoic basement, and suggest that similar deep, circulating metalliferous fluids were also involved at Tara Deep. However, despite these similarities, key differences can be recognized within the S isotope data; around 5‰ shifts to higher δ34S in the surface-derived S isotope signatures (both bacteriogenic sulphide and sulphate) indicate that Tara Deep’s sulphur was sourced from a distinct seawater/connate fluid signature. The Tara Deep deposit has many similarities with the neighbouring Navan deposit reflecting comparable controls on the mineralizing processes in terms of host rocks, Pb and S sources, and tectonic environment. Mineralization initiated during an early phase of the developing Dublin Basin (syn-diagenetically) and kept pace with rifting and subsequently an evolving basin.

China is endowed with mineral resources due to its prolonged and dynamic geological evolutionary history. Marine carbonate-hosted Pb-Zn deposits are mostly concentrated in the southern part of China, represented by the world-class metallogenic belt in the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou (“SYG”) triangle in the Yangtze Block, and those Pb-Zn deposits hosted in the Himalayan-Tibetan Orogenic Belt and in the Cathaysia Block. This paper presents a preliminary review of the geological characteristics of the major Pb-Zn mineral deposits in these regions, including the Huize, Maozu and Daliangzi deposits in the SYG triangle, the Jinding, Huoshaoyun and Chapupacha deposits in the Himalayan-Tibetan Orogenic Belt, and the Fankou and Panlong deposits in the Cathaysia Block. The aim is to gain an improved understanding of the geological controls on the carbonate-hosted Pb-Zn deposits in China. In general, the carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb deposits in the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks display many similarities, including the mineralization being mainly controlled by stratigraphy (i.e., coarse dolomite layers in certain stratigraphic units) and structure (i.e. well-developed fault systems). The deposits are distinctively high in Pb+Zn grades and enriched in dispersive elements including Ga, Ge, Ag, Cd, and Tl, and are spatially associated with the Permian Emeishan flood basalts. The most distinct geological features of the Zn-Pb deposits in the Himalayan-Tibetan Orogenic Belt is the occurrence of pervasive evaporites and the development of breccias and oxide ores. Overall, deep regional structures, including crustal faults and suture zones and the combined existence of organic matter and evaporites are among those crucial factors to form the large carbonate-hosted Pb-Zn deposits in China.
Anomalous SedEx mineralization at the Walton Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu carbonate-hosted sulphide deposit (Nova Scotia, Canada): result of hydrocarbons?

Published: September 2023

Walton is a past-producing Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu sulphide carbonate-hosted deposit (0.41 Mt; head grade of 350 g/t Ag, 4.28% Pb, 1.29% Zn, and 0.52% Cu) hosted primarily by sideritized Viséan Macumber Formation limestone and juxtaposed to and replacing a barite ore body (4.5 Mt of >90% barite). Previous work demonstrated that mineralization came from heated (~300°C), saline (20-28 wt. % equiv. NaCl) fluids. The present study uses optical microscopy, SEM-EDS, and major- and in situ LA-ICP-MS trace-element signatures of the host, gangue, and ore phases to refine our understanding of the mineralizing fluid system. Sideritization of the Macumber Formation occurred after dolomitization. Dolomite and siderite are generally LREE-depleted, with mostly negative Ce anomalies and prominent negative Y anomalies. Pyrite has As levels ranging from <1 ppm to 7.7 wt. % that correlate positively with Ag (values up to 2,400 ppm); the latter likely accounts for most of the Ag in the deposit. The LREE-depleted patterns of various carbonate phases indicate that the ore fluids did not equilibrate with a LREE-rich reservoir, whereas negative Ce anomalies suggest precipitation from an oxidised fluid. The positive correlation between Ag and As implies their coupling and thus a similar source and/or transport mechanism. The proposed source of metals is from hydrocarbons, now preserved as abundant petroleum inclusions, sourced in the underlying Horton Group that may have been enriched in Ag, As, and Cu. The derivation of metals from hydrocarbons could explain differences between mineralization at Walton and other carbonate-hosted sulphide deposits in Nova Scotia that do not contain significant petroleum or Ag, As, and Cu.
Carbonate-hosted “Alpine-type” Zn-Pb deposits in the Eastern and Southern Alps – trace element geochemistry and isotopic data of sulphides

More than 500 occurrences of carbonate-hosted Pb-Zn ores are documented in the Eastern and Southern Alps. They are invariably hosted by shallow lagoonal and reef carbonates of Middle and more frequently Upper Triassic (Anisian and Carnian) age and are collectively termed “Alpine-type” deposits. The local palaeogeography and synsedimentary structures influenced ore mineralization. Although they occur in a wide region, they share common features such as a simple mineralogical composition, complex ore textures, light sulphur isotopic compositions, Late Palaeozoic Pb model ages, and similar trace element compositions in sphalerite, galena and pyrite. Sphalerite records a low-temperature (60-140°C) precipitation. It is low in Fe, Mn, Co, Ag and In, but commonly contains elevated Cd, Ge, As, Tl and Pb. Galena is Ag-poor, although both sphalerite and galena tend to higher Ag concentrations towards the northern Districts. Minor Fe sulphides are low in Co and Ni but carry considerable As and Tl. Rb-Sr dating of sphalerite from the type locality Bleiberg reveals an age of ≈229 Ma for ores of the Raibl Group, and ages of ≈207 and ≈201 Ma for trace element-rich breccia ore in the western part of the Bleiberg deposit. The older age corresponds to U-Pb ages obtained on calcite associated with the Pb-Zn mineralization at the Gorno deposit (Southalpine). The younger age suggests fluid flow within the carbonate sequence in an extensional tectonic regime due to fracturing of the carbonate platform during initial rifting of the Penninic Ocean.
On Irish bacteriometallogenesis and its wider connotations
Authors:   Dipartimento di Chimica, Università degli Studi di Torino, Italy, Russell Michael J.
Published: September 2023

Rapid and widespread access of surface waters to jostling segments of the upper crust marks the first step to metallogenesis in the Irish early Carboniferous. Overall, siting of these ore-forming systems involves two types of fluid-charged autocatalytic cracking engines. The more obvious is a province-wide diffuse type, excavating downward from the generally submarine surface to where waters are heated, dissolve metals and become buoyant enough to exploit channel ways back to the surface. Another, rather more obscure engine, starts near the mantle-crust boundary and either produces a through-going crustal structure to vectorially guide pressurized mantle volatiles and perhaps accompanying magma toward the surface, or it autonomously drills its way through the entire crust by penetrative convection, as in a diatreme. Either way ore-forming solutions are perhaps best incubated where both engines interact within the crust. But precipitation of minable metal requires structural down warp basins and associated saline, sulphate-reducing microbiome traps. So, whilst there is no unique ex-planation for the distribution of the orebodies, the Navan orebody, its southwest extension (SWEX) and its neigh-bour to the south, Tara Deep, do fall on a putative N-S Geofracture (Gf 3) first proposed in 1968/1969. But the N-S Geofracture hypothesis runs strongly against the “academic” grain! Moreover, no further discoveries can be unequivocally assigned to the hypothesis. So why persist with the notion at all? Well, there have been some other indications of such structures in adjacent countries and, most notably and farthest afield, on Mars which acts as a time machine for our planet! There the seismically active Cerberus Fossae structures have similar crustal joint aspect ratios of 40 to 55km, as with the putative Irish (and Scottish) examples. And five cold springs, sequentially younger to the east, happen to lie well-spaced along a 250km stretch of the northernmost Fossa. Yet there are no signs of mineral sulphide accumulations on Mars. Perhaps lacking there were sulphate-reducing bacteria required for the deposition of economic ores as in Ireland. Indeed, it was the discovery of light sulphate sulphur in the Irish ores, along with lithochemical and geological evidence for an exhalative aspect to them, that inspired the submarine alkaline vent theory (AVT) for the emergence of life. In this theory exothermic serpentinization drives hydrothermal convection cells to produce the exhalations into the Hadean Ocean. Here the free-energy convert-ing iron minerals (oxyhydroxides and sulphides) act as nano-engines in spontaneously precipitated membranes to generate the appropriate organic molecules required for life’s onset from volatile and hydrothermal delivery of CO2, H2, CH4 and the trace elements. These prebiotic nanoengines are powered by the electrical and pH disequilibria focused across the mineral membranes amounting to ~1 volt.
The volcano-stratigraphic setting of the Pallas Green Zn-Pb deposit, County Limerick.

Published: September 2023

The Pallas Green deposit located in County Limerick is being actively explored by Glencore Zinc Ireland Ltd. The deposit displays broad similarities with other Waulsortian Limestone hosted deposits in the Irish Orefield in terms of stratigraphical setting, ore-hosting breccia textures and sulphide mineralogy. How-ever, there are a number of important differences, including a close association with igneous rocks, the scale of the ore-hosting breccia bodies, and the apparent absence of significant displacement normal faults control-ling the mineralizing system. The lack of obvious structural control, combined with spatial coincidence with volcanic rocks makes Pallas Green an “Irish-type” deposit with many unique characteristics and new insights into the origins of zinc-lead deposits in the Irish Orefield. This paper endeavours to outline the geological stting, influence of the volcanic activity, alteration and brecciation, and the nature and scale of the mineralizing system at Pallas Green and place the deposit in context and with respect to other “Irish-type” deposits.
“What has Zinc ever done for us?” A geologist’s assessment of zinc’s contribution to the Irish economy
Authors:   Geoscience Regulation Office, Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, Dublin, Ireland., MacDermott Paul
Published: September 2023

To paraphrase Monty Python’s Life of Brian “what has zinc ever done for us?”. This is a geologist’s assessment of zinc’s economic impact on Ireland. The assessment is based on a series of reports from the Natural Resources section of the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC), as well as other open-sourced data available from the DECC. Ireland has the most zinc discovered per square kilometre than any-where else in the world. It is this exploration potential that has attracted both global and indigenous prospectors and investors. Consequently, this has allowed the establishment of an exploration and mining infrastructure within the country. So, zinc is the main reason Ireland has a modern exploration and mining industry. It is why we continue to be one of the leading mining countries in Europe. In 2022, Ireland produced 9.5% of European zinc mine output (4th in Europe) and 0.8% of world zinc mine output (18th in World). And the future for Irish zinc is bright. It is estimated that by 2035, the current transition to net zero will require 20% more zinc, and by 2050 demand could reach 145% of 2019 levels. As a significant proportion of this growth will be driven by the use of zinc in offshore wind-energy generation, with demand in this sector growing to 150% of 2019 levels by 2035, Ireland position as a zinc producing region will continue to grow.

The IPCC and key tensions in global climate politics
Authors: Hughes Hannah , Paterson Matthew
Published: September 2023

While the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) portrays itself as a neutral, scientific body, presenting the conclusions of thousands of climate researchers to policy-makers, its reports are at the same time routinely contested. In this short article we show that this is because those who seek to either criticise the IPCC, and/or shape the summaries of its key reports (summaries that governments can directly approve), recognise the IPCC’s power in shaping the global response to climate change. We explore some key conflicts that have endured since the IPCC’s establishment in 1988, notably over: how scientists seek to demarcate the boundarybetween science and politics within the organisation; the underrepresentation of expertise from the global South in IPCC processes, and; attempts to undermine the authority of the IPCC by attacking the authors, the assessment practice, and the knowledge produced.
The case for building climate reporting into financial accounting
Authors: Murphy Richard , Seabrooke Leonard
Published: September 2023

For mitigation efforts against climate breakdown to be effective they need to bring in the private sector in a meaningful way. Current standards for financial reporting for commercial organizations focus on the interests of capital suppliers to the exclusion of other stakeholders and civil society. These stakeholders include the suppliers of capital, trading partners, employees, regulators, tax authorities, and civil society. So far initiatives to include environmental and social costs have been additive rather than substantive. In this think piece we offer a radical proposal in the form of sustainable cost accounting (SCA). As a standard SCA would build on existing accounting principles to require commercial organizations to report on how they will manage the costs of becoming net carbon zerocompliant. SCA does not include carbon pricing or the cost of offsets. It would require the commercial organization to establish the costs of the transition to carbon neutrality. Regulatory requirements, enmeshment in transnational standards, and adequate auditing would implement SCA. If SCA was mandatory and comprehensively applied it would take a significant step in bringing business onside in addressing climate breakdown.
Application of Raman spectroscopy in breast cancer surgery
Authors: Kim Yikeun , Jung Sung Ui , Choi Jinhyuk
Published: September 2023

The incidence of breast cancer is increasing worldwide. As cancer screening has become more widespread, the rate of early breast cancer detection has increased and treatment methods have changed. Partial mastectomy is performed more often than total mastectomy for the surgical treatment of early breast cancer, and sentinel lymph node biopsy plays an important role. A high level of accuracy is necessary for the intraoperative examination of surgical margins and sentinel lymph nodes to identify malignancies. Therefore, several examination techniques, including Raman spectroscopy, that replace or supplement the currently used frozen-section methods are being studied. Raman spectroscopy has the ability to diagnose cancer in normal tissue by providing in real time a chemical fingerprint that can be used to differentiate between cells and tissues. Numerous studies have investigated the utilization of Raman spectroscopy to identify cancer in the margins of resected tissues and sentinel lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery, showing the potential of this technique for clinical applications. This article introduces and reviews the research on Raman spectroscopy for breast cancer surgery.
Bringing Up Mischievous Strips: The Katzenjammer Kids’ Domestication in Spanish and Italian Children’s Comics Magazines
Authors: Van de Wiele Eva , Pintor Iranzo Ivan
Published: September 2023

This article examines how the comic series The Katzenjammer Kids, created by Rudolph Dirks in 1897 and whose main characters are two wicked children, has been usually altered, modified, and reframed due to its publication in Spain and Italy. By using the concept of domestication and utilizing tools of the history and formal analysis of comics and the contextual studies used in iconography, we try to study the influence and the afterlife impact of the forms, narratives, and gags of The Katzenjammer Kids and, at the same time, to provide a theoretical-methodological framework for understanding the cultural scope of these phenomena that characterize a field of study such as comics reception, which has been relatively underdeveloped.
