Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is affecting joints and organs, and genetic and environmental factors play significant roles in this autoimmune disorder. Traditional Indian medicine, particularly Siddha medicine, offers potential alternative treatments for treating RA. This current research aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, and antispasmodic activities of Nava Uppu Mezhugu (NUM). NUM was prepared according to the Siddha literature and subjected to comprehensive quality and efficacy assessments, such as physico-chemical analyses, chemical analysis, FTIR, and ICP-OES, as per the Ayush PLIM Guidelines. Anti-inflammatory activity was studied in Wistar albino rats using the ‘carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema method’. Analgesic activity was assessed in Swiss albino mice using Eddy’s hot plate method. Antispasmodic activity was also assessed by the acetylcholine-induced rat ileum method after proper IAEC approval was obtained. The physicochemical analysis revealed that the total ash, contents were 10.00 ± 0.50%, 8.50 ± 0.050% and 7.00 ± 0.020%, respectively. The losses on drying and moisture were 1.20 ± 0.540 and 8.90 ± 0.120%, respectively. The pH is 8.30. Biochemical analysis revealed various acid and basic radicals. FTIR analysis revealed 9 components. ICP-OES analysis revealed that the presence of heavy metals was within the permissible limits. NUM exhibited significant anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects, with significant inhibition of paw edema and dose-dependent analgesic effects. In conclusion NUM exhibited significant biological activities, supporting its potential as a therapeutic agent for RA. Further researches are warranted to elucidate its mechanism of action and explore its clinical efficacy in human subjects.
El suicidio como posibilidad inmanente a la condición humana: una propuesta filosófica frente al reduccionismo fenoménico de la psicología y la perspectiva biomédica
Authors: Betanzo Hernández Marcelo
Published: December 2024

El suicidio como fenómeno humano se ha manifestado a lo largo de la historia evolutiva de los sujetos sin distinción de género, raza, edad, cultura, etc. Es por eso, que su abordaje ha devenido en un clivaje particularmente utilitarista por parte de la perspectiva biomédica y las disciplinas vinculadas a esta como la psicología y la psiquiatría, sobretodo en el marco histórico y cultural ligado a la modernidad. Este abordaje supone un reduccionismo fenoménico al acto de darse muerte a sí mismo como un evento que necesariamente debe prevenirse en las sociedades actuales debido a los altos índices de suicidios y malestar subjetivo. Es por ello que las estrategias tanto psicoterapéuticas y farmacológicas no logran abarcar de manera integrativa y/o exhaustiva la profundidad del fenómeno, reduciendo su causa y manifestación a una lógica puramente instrumental. Considerando el contexto actual y los altos índices de personas que se suicidan por año a nivel mundial se hace necesario repensar el fenómeno a la luz de la lectura filosófica proponiendo al margen de la reducción técnica de la medicina y las ciencias, una lectura de la autoaniquilación como una posibilidad fenoménica a la esencia de la condición humana.
Aristóteles y la unidad conceptual de la amistad (φιλία) en la Ética Nicomaquea
Authors: Núñez Aguilera Diana
Published: December 2024

Aristóteles dedica dos libros completos de la Ética Nicomaquea (EN) a la amistad (φιλία) y a las cuestiones que han generado opiniones contrarias y diversas sobre ella. Entre dichas problemáticas está la de si la amistad es una sola o varias. Aristóteles considera que son tres los tipos de amistad: aquella que se funda en el bien o la virtud, otra que se basa en el placer, y una última que refiere a la utilidad. Sin embargo, ha sido objeto de discusión entre los comentadores del autor el tipo de unidad conceptual que tendría la amistad. En el presente trabajo se pretende mostrar que el tipo de unidad conceptual que tiene la amistad es el de la analogía que se da en base a la semejanza entre los tipos de amistad. Para ello en una primera sección se abordará la distinción entre homonimia y sinonimia además de la noción de unidad para así comprender el problema. Junto con ello se tratará la cuestión de qué es la amistad y en cuántos sentidos se dice. En la última sección discutirá la vinculación de la semejanza y la analogía y luego el uso de la expresión ‘por semejanza’ (καθ’ ὁμοιότητα) para finalmente mostrar cómo se aplicaría la unidad analógica al caso de la amistad.
Intelecto y tiempo en Aristóteles
Authors: De Vittorio Pica Luca
Published: December 2024

En este artículo, se buscará elucidar la relación que tiene el tiempo como número del movimiento tanto según el antes como el después, y el intelecto como agente de numeración. El objetivo fundamental es dar una nueva interpretación al controvertido pasaje del capítulo 14, Libro IV de la Física, que establece la relación entre el alma y la existencia del tiempo. Para esto, se introducirá la concepción divina del intelecto, buscando sugerir consecuencias que pueden ser cruciales a la hora de considerar el tiempo y su relación con el alma divina que está siempre en acto. El objetivo entonces será justificar que de la misma manera en que Dios es condición de posibilidad de la captación de los primeros principios e inteligibles (como menciona en el DA), así también lo es del tiempo en tanto fuente de la numerabilidad en general, o lo que se llamará tiempo “potencial”. La estructura del artículo consiste en una breve presentación de la concepción aristotélica del tiempo, para luego tematizar la noción del intelecto como agente encargado del proceso de numeración que constituye al tiempo, junto con la sugerencia interpretativa que identifica al intelecto agente con el Dios aristotélico. Finalmente, se problematizará la relación entre tiempo y alma para, junto con los antecedentes expuestos, explorar una interpretación sobre el modo de considerar la existencia del tiempo y el lugar que ocupa el intelecto agente como condición de posibilidad para su existencia efectiva.
Actos de rumoring y rumor-mongering: un análisis del rumor a partir del enfoque responsabilista en epistemología de las virtudes
Authors: Álvarez Osorio Felipe Alejandro
Published: December 2024

En este artículo exploro los vínculos entre la epistemología de las virtudes y la epistemología del testimonio a partir del análisis del rumor como fenómeno epistemológico. Para esto, en (1) se da cuenta del debate sobre la confiabilidad del rumor y de cómo este derivó en un debate sobre el carácter de los agentes en el intercambio de rumores; en (2) se analizan los actos de rumoring y rumor-mongering a partir de la noción de motivación epistémica; finalmente, en (3) se analizan estos actos a partir de la noción de akrasia epistémica para dar cuenta de la virtud de la continencia en relación con el rumor, buscando con ello señalar cómo la epistemología de las virtudes sirve para caracterizar en profundidad el carácter de los agentes en el intercambio de rumores. En consecuencia, se defiende la idea que una comprensión adecuada de las propiedades epistémica del rumor suscita analizar dicho fenómeno con el enfoque dado por la epistemología de las virtudes responsabilista.

A Political Opportunity: The Build-Up of the Colombian Campaign against ‘Gender Ideology’ in the 2016 Peace Plebiscite
Authors: Bohorquez Oviedo Angela Maria
Published: December 2024

After the 2012-2016 peace process between the Colombian government and the FARC rebels, influential right-wing leaders and anti-gender activists disputed the inclusion of gender equality in the peace agreement. These actors reactivated a national network that portrayed gender as a ‘threat’ to societal morals, and their ideas mobilized people to protest before the plebiscite elections. This article examines how the right-wing network built the campaign against ‘gender ideology’ to contest the peace agreement. Methods include archival creation with materials from anti-gender activists and a Senator, and 24 semi-structured interviews with participants of the peace negotiations and the plebiscite campaigning. Findings revealed that the right-wing network articulated three events as a political opportunity to build the campaign against ‘gender ideology.’

El decir de las cosas: Manipulaciones del objeto en la visualidad contemporánea
Authors: Gárate Chateau Rodrigo
Published: December 2024

Las artes visuales del siglo xx focalizaron una buena parte de sus esfuerzos en su propio lenguaje. Al concentrarse en las significaciones aumentaron sus repertorios posibles, asimilando lo ya hecho, no solo como un objeto que precede al trabajo creativo del artista —un objeto no creado por él— sino que además, y por sobre todo, como un hecho significativo, portador de un sentido ya disponible dentro del andamiaje social. En esta dinámica, los objetos cotidianos adoptaron un papel crucial, porque ellos mismos, en su sobreabundancia artefactual, se implicaron escalonadamente en la vida cotidiana. Al interactuar con los modos de convivencia humana, modelaron también nuestras formas de ver y actuar (Appadurai, 1991), permitiendo que se manifestaran como un amplio repertorio de imágenes visuales de significaciones potenciales para el decir sobre nuestros contextos sociales y culturales. 
Este artículo desarrolla una breve aproximación histórica de la presencia de los objetos en las artes y otras disciplinas afines, para luego proponer una serie de categorías recurrentes dentro de las operatorias de manipulación del objeto en la visualidad contemporánea. Para estos objetivos, este trabajo se apoya en un cuerpo de literatura proveniente de la historia y teoría del arte, la estética y los estudios culturales.
La importancia del diseño para mujeres en el comercio informal
Authors: Reséndiz Ximena , Cortés-Chávez Fabiola
Published: December 2024

El comercio informal en México representa un componente esencial de la economía, ya que genera empleo e ingresos para sectores vulnerables. Este estudio se centra en las “nenis”, emprendedoras que utilizan plataformas digitales para vender productos que entregan en espacios públicos, como el Parque Rojo en Guadalajara. A través de entrevistas y observación de campo, se identificaron los principales desafíos que estas mujeres enfrentan: problemas de transporte, falta de infraestructura en los espacios de venta, inseguridad y condiciones de salud precarias. Estos obstáculos no solo limitan su capacidad de crecimiento, sino también su estabilidad económica y personal. 
Las soluciones de diseño emergen como herramientas clave para mejorar las condiciones de trabajo de las nenis. Las propuestas incluyen el desarrollo de sistemas de transporte ligeros y modulares, optimización de los stands de venta y creación de espacios más seguros y funcionales. La implementación de estas intervenciones tiene el potencial de aumentar la productividad de las nenis, profesionalizar sus negocios y mejorar su calidad de vida. Al integrar un enfoque de diseño centrado en el ser humano, se busca no solo resolver barreras logísticas, sino también empoderar a estas mujeres, transformando sus operaciones diarias en un entorno más eficiente, seguro y próspero.

Published: December 2024

Internal Summative Assessment Task (ISAT) is an educational tool included as a practical requirement in TVET curriculum for students to acquire skills of a particular trade. This tool has not been well utilized at (TVET) Colleges consequently, limiting the National Certificate (Vocation) (NC(V) graduates’ professional prospects. This research explored prospects of acquiring (WIL) by managing Internal Summative Assessment Task as a tool that would enhance in-house practical work by preparing set tasks to be done at college in workshops to assist National Certificate (Vocation) students to qualify as capable mid-level artisan. Mixed methods convergent design was used to understand the possibility of how ISAT would be managed at (TVET) Colleges to provide additional in-house practical hours. Data was collected and analyzed separately for both methods qualitative and quantitative using in-depth interviews, with survey questionnaires were distributed to 181 TVET students. Observations were also done during ISAT and gave perspective for this research. The findings showed that students felt more could be done with the ISAT tool to expand their possibilities of employment. If the proposed (ISAT) model is implemented, it would enhance their qualification and allow a total of 400 hours of in-house practical work by end of their three years training hence qualifying as employable mid-level artisans at a (TVET) College.

Published: December 2024

Implementing Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) through internal summative assessment tasks has the potential to improve practical work within the College. Designing specific tasks for college workshop time could help students in National Certificate (Vocation) develop into skilled mid-level artisans. The Internal Summative Assessment Task (ISAT) is an educational instrument that is part of the TVET curriculum. It is a practical requirement that helps students develop specific trade skills. Based on data collected and examined independently for both qualitative and quantitative approaches through in-depth interviews and distribution of survey questionnaires to 181 TVET students. We also conducted observations during ISAT sessions, which yielded valuable insights for this investigation. The results indicated that students at a TVET college are content with both the institution and the courses provided. Nevertheless, they expressed a desire for further enhancements to the ISAT instrument to broaden their employment prospects. The study suggests that TVET stakeholders should consider the option of providing workshops with affordable tools that are adequate for facilitating creativity and critical projects. They should also be willing to engage in discussions with qualified artisans who can offer valuable advice. Recommendations of additional time to improve the ISAT tool were made, to equip individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the global, local, and labour markets effectively.

Love in the Rain: A Comparative Analysis of Naguib Mahfouz’s Al-Ḥubb Taḥt Al-Maṭar and Syed Abdul Malik’s Aghari Atmar Kahini
Authors: Ahmed Dr. Noor Uddin , Ahmed Dr. Farid Uddin , Khatun Amina Khatun
Published: December 2024

This study explores the thematic and narrative intricacies of love as depicted in Naguib Mahfouz’s Al-Ḥubb Taḥt Al-Maṭar (Love Under the Rain) and Syed Abdul Malik’s Aghari Atmar Kahini (The Tale of the Nomadic Soul). Both works delve into the complexities of human emotions, relationships, and the sociopolitical contexts that shape them. While Mahfouz portrays the lives of individuals entangled in a web of romance, societal expectations, and existential struggles against the backdrop of post-war Egypt, Malik focuses on the strained marital and emotional lives of his characters within a peri-urban Assamese setting.

In Mahfouz’s novel, love is presented as a multifaceted emotion influenced by personal ambition, societal constraints, and the turbulent environment of war. The characters navigate betrayal, passion, and idealism, reflecting the fractured yet hopeful spirit of a nation in transition. Conversely, Malik’s work offers a metaphorical exploration of love and self-discovery, portraying characters trapped in a dysfunctional marriage and haunted by their pasts. The arrival of a charismatic outsider catalyzes a journey of introspection and emotional awakening for the protagonists, emphasizing themes of human connection and liberation.

This comparative analysis highlights how both authors use love as a lens to examine broader existential and social dilemmas. Through richly layered narratives and complex characterizations, Mahfouz and Malik craft stories that transcend cultural and geographical boundaries, offering a universal meditation on love, loss, and identity. This paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of how these literary masters depict the transformative power of love amid personal and societal upheavals.

Published: December 2024

Failure analysis of rock slope is a core topic in rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering. This paper simulates the failure mechanism of a rock slope formed by mudstone at Girdu, Pakistan. Initially, site surveys and laboratory experiments were carried out to measure slope geometry and input shear strength properties of the material. The geotechnical structure and model analyzing computer program (GeoSMA3D) was used to determine the stability of the main slippery blocks. A shear strength reduction method was selected in a three-dimensional distinct element code (3DEC) to examine the failure mechanism, the factor of safety (FS), shear strain concentration, and displacement of slope at various monitoring points. Furthermore, the effect of the rock slippery block, slope angle, and slope height on failure modes of slope were assessed. The present results showed that the studied section is prone to big planer failure at both maximum and minimum strength properties. Slope angle and height significantly influenced the failure characteristics of rock slope . It is inferred that these parameters must be precisely considered during slope reinforcement design.

PENSAMIENTO ANTITÉTICO EN EL APRENDIZAJE DE LA MEDICINA: UN RECURSO LÓGICO INAPELABLE
Authors: Bermúdez Sarguera Rogelio , Pentón Quintero Aylin
Published: December 2024

El artículo apunta a una de las problemáticas basales que debe suscitarse en todo proceso de investigación científica, a saber, la puesta en marcha de un pensamiento antitético en el aprendizaje de los conocimientos de medicina, lo cual aparece como condición sine qua non para que aquel proceso se produzca innegablemente. Sobre la base de la caracterización de este tipo de pensamiento como objeto de estudio, se defiende la idea de su primacía sobre cualquier otro hecho de naturaleza epistémica en el aprendizaje del estudiante. La medicina, considerada como uno de los campos del saber de mayor susceptibilidad ante el cuidado y preservación de la vida, no puede darse el lujo de formar profesionales cuya proyección hacia la realidad médica sea impugnable. Por ende, el único recurso lógico-metodológico que ha de salvar aquella cabal formación es la proyección del pensamiento antitético. De ahí que focalicemos el hecho de valorarlo como recurso lógico y fuerza motriz de todo cambio conductual, en el área de la profesión, lo que traduce el objetivo de este artículo. El método empleado en la recopilación de la información se sostuvo en la encuesta, así como el método analítico-sintético se usó como parte consustancial de los métodos de procesamiento de la información recopilada, según la clasificación de la autoría de este artículo. Los resultados fundamentales se advierten en los problemas de investigación que resultan configurados en términos de contradicciones, a tenor de las máximas lógico-metodológicas que se proponen.

Published: December 2024

Malnutrition in school-going children may be attributed to non-communicable diseases, psychological distress, and inadequate living standards. To address this issue, it is imperative to implement an intervention program aimed at enhancing understanding of nutrition education. The study aims to introduce the Kolar Nutrition Education Intervention Programme (KNEIP) to children and assess their knowledge. A total of 418 schoolchildren from urban and rural areas participated in this study. The experimental group comprised of 237 participants, whereas 181 children who did not partake in the nutrition education package served as controls.  The intervention program was conducted over five weeks, featuring five sessions that covered various topics related to nutrition. Teaching strategies and activities employed during the intervention included small group discussions and group work. Only 3.3 percent of the study participants achieved a fair score (50-75% of answers were correct) in the pre-intervention phase, which encompassed all sessions combined. However, this percentage rose to 50.6% following the implementation of the intervention (P<0.0001). The study also revealed that 17.0% of the participants were overweight, while 10.9% were obese. This research demonstrates that a school nutrition intervention program can yield positive outcomes in enhancing the nutrition knowledge of school children.

Published: December 2024

Ô nhiễm do các thành phần dinh dưỡng thải ra từ hoạt động nuôi trồng thủy sản đưa đến hai tác động tiêu cực chính là làm suy giảm chất lượng nước và biến đổi môi trường đáy. Nước thải từ những cơ sở nuôi thủy sản, đặc biệt là nuôi thâm canh, chứa nhiều thành phần dinh dưỡng và chuyển hóa từ chất dinh dưỡng ở dạng hòa tan (như chất thải hòa tan từ trao đổi chất, chất dinh dưỡng hòa tan từ thức ăn và phân) hoặc chất thải rắn (thức ăn thừa và phân). Đối với cột nước, các chất thải làm gia tăng hàm lượng dinh dưỡng tại vùng nước tiếp nhận gây nên hiện tượng phú dưỡng. Đối với nền đáy, sự lắng tụ các chất thải làm biến đổi sinh cảnh, nhất là tình trạng yếm khí. Đây cũng là nguyên nhân chính gây ra những ảnh hưởng tiêu cực đến khu hệ sinh vật đáy. Cần tiếp cận vấn đề theo cả hai hướng là quy hoạch– quản lý và cải tiến về kỹ thuật nói chung bao gồm cả kỹ thuật nuôi và xử lý nước thải nhằm giảm ảnh hưởng của hoạt động nuôi thủy sản đến môi trường.

Nghiên cứu này được thực hiện nhằm đánh giá tỷ lệ xuất hiện và đặc điểm của các dạng dị hình ở bốn loài cá biển giai đoạn con giống, bao gồm cá chim vây ngắn (Trachinotus falcatus), cá chim vây dài (Trachinotus blochii), cá chẽm (Lates calcarifer) và cá khế vằn (Gnathanodon speciosus), đang được sản xuất giống nhân tạo tại Khánh Hòa, Việt Nam. Các mẫu cá giống có kích cỡ từ 3 đến 5 cm được thu thập từ các trại sản xuất giống ở Cam Ranh và Nha Trang. Với mỗi loài, mẫu được thu từ 10 đàn cá khác nhau trong năm. Đối với mỗi đàn, ba bể nuôi được lựa chọn ngẫu nhiên để lấy mẫu, với 300 cá thể/bể. Các dạng dị hình và tỷ lệ xuất hiện của chúng được ghi nhận và so sánh giữa các loài. Kết quả cho thấy sự khác biệt đáng kể về tỷ lệ dị hình chung và từng dạng dị hình giữa các loài nghiên cứu. Cá chim vây ngắn có tỷ lệ dị hình chung cao nhất (10,73%), tiếp theo là cá chẽm (7,28%), trong khi cá chim vây dài và cá khế vằn có tỷ lệ thấp hơn, lần lượt là 3,64% và 2,85%. Trong cùng một loài, dị hình nắp mang xuất hiện với tần suất cao hơn so với các dạng dị hình khác. Các dấu hiệu đặc trưng của từng dạng dị hình, bao gồm đặc điểm hình thái ngoài và hình ảnh nhuộm xương, đã được mô tả chi tiết. Nghiên cứu này cung cấp thông tin quan trọng về tỷ lệ dị hình ở một số loài cá biển tại các trại sản xuất giống cá biển ở Khánh Hòa. Kết quả nghiên cứu sẽ là cơ sở khoa học để các nhà sản xuất và cơ quan quản lý ngành thủy sản đưa ra các biện pháp nâng cao chất lượng con giống cá biển sản xuất tại địa phương.

Nghiên cứu được thực hiện nhằm đánh giá ảnh hưởng của việc tiếp xúc độ mặn ở giai đoạn phát triển phôi lên khả năng chịu mặn của cá tra (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) ở giai đoạn cá hương. Thí nghiệm được thiết kế với 2 nhân tố (độ mặn ấp và ương), gồm 12 nghiệm thức và 4 lần lặp lại. Trứng cá tra sau khi thụ tinh được ấp ở các độ mặn 0‰, 1‰, và 2‰, sau khi nở cá bột được ương ở các độ mặn 0‰, 4‰, 8‰ và 12‰. Sau 35 ngày ương, kết quả cho thấy độ mặn ấp và ương không ảnh hưởng đến tăng trưởng, nhưng ảnh hưởng đến tỷ lệ sống, khả năng điều hòa áp suất thẩm thấu (ASTT), và hoạt tính của của các enzyme tiêu hóa (pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin và amylase). Độ mặn làm giảm tỷ lệ sống của cá ương, nhưng nhóm cá được ấp ở độ mặn cao 2‰ có xu hướng chịu mặn tốt hơn khi ương ở mức độ mặn 12‰ (p<0,05). ASTT của cá ương tăng khi độ mặn tăng, và nhóm cá được ấp ở độ mặn 2‰ có mức tăng ASTT lớn nhất khi ương ở độ mặn 12‰ (p<0,05). Hoạt tính enzyme tiêu hóa của cá ương có xu hướng tăng khi độ mặn ương tăng. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy sự tiếp xúc sớm với độ mặn sẽ làm tăng khả năng chịu mặn của cá ở giai đoạn cá hương.

Góc nghiêng trục chân vịt là một trong những thông số quan trọng ảnh hưởng đến tốc độ của tàu thủy nói chung và tàu cá nói riêng. Nghiên cứu này thực hiện đánh giá ảnh hưởng của góc nghiêng trục chân vịt đến vận tốc của  tàu cá vỏ composite thông qua mô hình thực nghiệm. Mẫu tàu cá được lựa chọn để chế tạo mô hình và thử nghiệm là mẫu tàu có kích thước: dài 24m, rộng 6,5m và cao 3,5m. Tàu mô hình được chế tạo theo tỷ lệ 1:12 (nhỏ hơn 12 lần) so với tàu thật. Vật liệu để chế tạo tàu mô hình là vật liệu composite (nhựa polyester và sợi thủy tinh). Tàu mô hình được thiết kế sao cho trục chân vịt có thể điều chỉnh góc nghiêng từ 0o đến 15o. Mô hình được chạy thử nghiệm để đo vận tốc ứng với các góc nghiêng khác nhau. Kết quả thử nghiệm cho thấy vận tốc tàu thay đổi khá lớn khi góc nghiêng tăng từ 0o đến 15o. Trong đó, vận tốc đạt giá trị cao nhất (đạt đến 3,05hl/h) khi góc nghiêng trục đạt 6o và 7o. Khi góc nghiêng tăng từ 9o đến 15o, vận tốc tàu giảm rất mạnh.

Two Episodes of Postpeak Metamorphic High- to Moderate-Temperature Orogenic Gold Mineralization at Danba, Southwest China: Timing and Fluid Source Constraints from Thermodynamic Modeling and U-Pb, Re-Os, and S Isotopes

Orogenic gold deposits are unique in that they formed at a wide variety of crustal depths from deeply sourced fluids. They are enigmatic in terms of their timing relative to crustal peak metamorphism and the coexistence of both high-T (temperature) and medium-T mineralization. The hypozonal Danba gold deposit in southwestern China provides an important opportunity to investigate both the depth and timing of formation of gold mineralization. In situ U-Pb dating on monazite from distal garnet-biotite-schist wall rocks combined with thermodynamic modeling reveal an age of 201.1 ± 1.4 Ma for the peak metamorphism at amphibolite facies, with up to ~5.0 wt % H2O loss. Also identified are two subsequent regional-scale fluid modification events at ~194 and ~187 Ma, compatible with the timing and pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions of two gold mineralization episodes in the deposit. High-precision Re-Os dating on molybdenite from high-T ore assemblages hosted in shear fractures at depths of ~16 to 20 km yields ages between 194.8 ± 0.3 and 193.3 ± 0.3 Ma, whereas molybdenite from later medium-T ore assemblages hosted in extensional joints provides ages of 190.9 ± 0.3 to 186.0 ± 0.3 Ma. The Danba gold deposit clearly formed in two mineralization episodes during rapid crustal uplift along a retrograde metamorphic trajectory, and thus the crustal host sequences that were previously devolatilized are not the preferred ore fluid source. Supporting evidence also includes systematic in situ sulfur isotope ratios of molybdenite and associated sulfides, which indicate a concentration of δ34S values of 3 to 5‰ for the two episodes of mineralization. These contrast with δ34S values of products of the regional upper and lower crustal metamorphic and granitic end members but are similar to those of sulfides from a contemporaneous potassic mafic complex. Therefore, the superimposition of two discrete gold mineralization events at Danba, due to episodic release of deep auriferous fluids, is more likely to have a similar source to the potassic basic magma, mainly derived from metasomatized mantle lithosphere. This research suggests that Danba and the giant Jiaodong gold province, among others, share common characteristics of postmetamorphic timing, primitive high oxidation state, and positive sulfur isotope ratios, which are potentially indicative of metasomatized mantle-related orogenic gold deposits. It also implies the potential for new exploration spaces in Phanerozoic orogenic gold deposits hosted in high-grade metamorphic terranes.

Mafic-ultramafic rocks are challenging to date with the U-Pb method because of their low U, Th, and Pb contents, which inhibit crystallization of U-bearing accessory minerals such as zircon, baddeleyite, apatite, titanite, or rutile. However, these minerals may be present in evolved mineralized phases of mafic-ultramafic systems. We present here new SHRIMP U-Pb geochronology results for host rocks of the Sakatti and Kaarrekumpu Cu-Ni-platinum group element (PGE) deposits of the Central Lapland greenstone belt to better constrain the time of emplacement of mafic-ultramafic magmatism and the formation of associated sulfide mineralization. The two deposits yielded zircon and titanite magmatic ages of ca. 2056 to 2053 Ma, coeval with those of Kevitsa mineralized intrusion and Savukoski Group komatiitic-picritic magmatism, indicating widespread magmatic activity in a short duration event, typical of large igneous provinces. Timing of Cu-Ni-PGE fertile magmatism in Paleoproterozoic greenstone belts of northern Fennoscandia falls exclusively within a ca. 2060 to 2050 Ma bracket, therefore defining a narrow window for formation of Cu-Ni-PGE deposits. Younger ages on zircon and titanite indicate events at ca. 1.92 and 1.78 Ga, which have been related to metamorphic and metasomatic events and are thought to have remobilized and upgraded the sulfide ores.
‘It’s always going to be an uphill battle until there’s more kind of fundamental transformation in society’: Exploring professionals’ experiences of working with parents with learning disabilities from the global majority
Authors: Thomas-Smith Kikelomo

Literature looking at the experiences of parents with learning disabilities has identified that parents often report negative experiences and discrimination from an individual level to a societal level, including by the services and organisations designed to support them. However, whilst important, this research does not include parents from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Research into the experiences of people from the global majority, similarly, highlight the levels of discrimination experienced at a personal level, up to an institutional level. Intersectional theory proposes the idea that we all possess a number of identities, and thus experience different levels and layers of discrimination based on the intersection of these identities. The present study aimed to look at professionals’ perspectives of working with parents with learning disabilities from global majority backgrounds to begin to understand the types of work they do, whether they consider intersectionality within this work, and finally what they perceive could optimise their work. A reflexive thematic analysis was conducted following the interviewing of ten professionals working with parents with learning disabilities from global majority backgrounds. Four themes were identified: (1) Zooming out and thinking at a societal level, (2) The nature of intersecting and evolving identities, (3) Feeling safe, and (4) The importance of a person-centred approach. Findings suggested that professionals were aware of the layers of discrimination experienced by parents, were having discussions about identities and the ways they might intersect with parents and had ideas on how to keep the parent at the centre of the work. The findings are also discussed in context of implications and future directions for research.
