Carbon release from Large Igneous Province magmas estimated from trace element-gas correlations
Authors: Black Benjamin A , Aiuppa Alessandro
Published: June 2023

Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) facilitate massive transfers of CO2 and other volatiles from the mantle to atmosphere, contributing to past global warming and environmental disruption. However, the scale and evolution of magmatic CO2 fluxes during these events remain uncertain due to the tendency of CO2 to degas deep in magmatic systems. Here we estimate LIP CO2 using an approach based on an observed correlation between gas CO2/S ratios and trace elements in volcanic rocks. We apply this method to a compilation of published geochemical data for tholeiitic LIP lavas and to a new major and trace element dataset for alkaline rocks from the Siberian Traps. Our results indicate that CO2/S and therefore CO2 in tholeiitic and alkaline magma suites from LIPs span 1–2 orders of magnitude, emphasizing that changing CO2 concentrations can combine with magma flux to drive strong variations in CO2 release through the evolution of LIP magmatism.
JUSTIFICATION OF REPLACEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY TO REPAIR CYLINDRICAL BRUSHES OF STREET SWEEPERS AT THE STAGE OF THEIR OPERATION
Authors: Shtephan Yuriy , Barashkova Svetlana
Published: June 2023

The study objective is to develop and justify the technology to repair cylindrical brushes with the replacement of traditional cassette prefabricated space plates with non–space ones and to assess the influence of the shape of pile cross-section on the effectiveness of forming the drawing prism in front of the pile. The task to which the paper is devoted is the computational justification of the technology to replace traditional sweeper brushes with modern non–space ones; determination and optimization of the parameters of the cylindrical brush pile capacity; laboratory modeling of the dependence of the removed swept stuff mass on the relative distance between piles.

Research methods: computational and analytical methods for adapting mathematical dependencies of the sweeping efficiency indicators at the stage of operation of a repaired machine with replacement of brushes and optimization of machine performance indicators by increasing the volume of the swept stuff prism.

The novelty of the work. The calculation method is used to justify the change in the design of a cylindrical brush when replacing worn elements of a cylindrical brush with non–space ones. The results of a laboratory study of the effect of the relative distance between the piles on the volume of the swept stuff prism are presented.

Study results. Technological methods used for the repair of mounted working equipment of road machines are analyzed. It is shown that the most promising for repair with an increase and optimization of brush equipment is a set of brush discs without spacers made of polypropylene pile and base. A technological process is developed in the form of a route map for the repair of a cylindrical brush and brush discs of the working equipment of a sweeper.

Conclusions: calculations justify the effectiveness of the technology to repair the working equipment of sweepers with the replacement of a traditional cassette brush with a non–space one of Beeline type. Increasing the sweeping efficiency is ensured by optimizing the pile capacity of the cylindrical brush, reducing the cost of deformation of such a pile and reducing the loss of pile friction on the surface to be swept. The effect of the relative distance between the piles on the mass of the sand formed in front of the conditionally rigid pile is experimentally found out.

Published: June 2023

Lettuce is a type of vegetable that is widely cultivated and consumed in our country and in the world. The seedling period, which is the beginning of production, is the most sensitive time for the plant. Starting production with healthy seedlings is an important parameter for quality and efficient production. In this study, a sample program for automatic seedling selection was developed for a robotic system to be used in seedling production. With the developed program, it was aimed to select seedlings with the same degree of maturity in multi-well pots. In this study, Yolo5n was used for the training model. A learning system was established on two types of lettuce (curly salad), and red curly lettuce leaf (lolo-rosso) seedlings. As a result of the training, F1 score was found as 83%; Precision was 100%; Recall was 95%; Precision Recall was 86.7%. The learning rate was 0.0005 for all given images. In view of these data, positive results were obtained for the mentioned method in seedling selection.

Background/Purpose: Neonatal hearing screening results are affected by several perinatal and neonatal factors. It is known that false positivity (FP) in the failure of newborn hearing screening increases parental concern and anxiety and has a negative impact on healthcare costs. There are conflicting reports on the effect of the mode of delivery on hearing screening results. This study aimed to investigate the role of mode of delivery on neonatal hearing by comparing the automated auditory brainstem (ABR) results of newborns born with vaginal delivery (VD) or cesarean section (CS) and to identify perinatal and neonatal factors associated with failure of the first neonatal hearing screening test results.

Methods: This retrospective case-control study was conducted at our obstetrics clinic between December 2018 and June 2019. Following the exclusion of newborns with incomplete data, with congenital and chromosomal anomalies, with CMV infection, with anatomical deformities involving the face and the ears, and who received their hearing screening

DOES AFRICA NEED ROBOT WIVES: A Genetic Opinion
Authors: Kashangura Chenjerayi
Published: June 2023

The first introduction of robot wives on African soil can come soon as a solution to lack of companionship. This Opinion looks at the potential effect the introduction of artificial intelligence powered humanoid robot wives will have on the genetic population and gene pool across the African continent. The effect of the introduction of robot wives will depend on the level of prevalence of exclusive biological male and robot wife mating’s. High prevalence of exclusive biological male and robot wife mating’s can result in genetic drift and genetic erosion. Low prevalence of exclusive biological male and robot wife mating’s will have a minuscule effect on the genetic population gene pool and structure. Ubiquitous presence of robot wives across the continent can result in a negative eugenics effect that can lead to loss of genetic variation and low human population growth rates, affecting the African demographic structure. This opinion is meant to ignite discussion and debate on the concept of robot wives on the African Continent in the event that the humanoids eventually are introduced.

Authors: Saffanah Syafika
Published: June 2023

This study aims to explore social practices by Smart Reading Houses (RBP) in increasing the effectiveness of reading literacy and understanding differences with previous research. The theory of social practice explained by Pierre Bourdieu directs toward the opposite relationship between objective frameworks and subjective events when looking at the social world. This study used a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation in Kranji Village, Pekalongan Regency, Central Java. Research informants were Mrs. Nurfina Sholawati, owner and manager of RBP, and Mr. Ahmad Ardabili, secretary of RBP. The results showed that RBP was founded in 2007 as a family library and then became a Smart Reading House in 2009. RBP has a community reading garden that serves the general public. RBP has structured management and involves volunteers.People from all walks of life and ages participate in supporting reading literacy. RBP has more than 10,000 books covering various genres. RBP members can borrow books for free using a member card. RBP organizes various events and activities such as reading, telling stories, watching together, creating mobile libraries, bulletin boards, discussions, and training. These programs are held daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. The surrounding community responded positively to RBP and saw it as a reference center for the latest books in Pekalongan. In the context of the discussion, this study applies the social practice theory by Pierre Bourdieu. This study describes how the social practice of RBP reflects the relationship between habitus (individual personal traits) and arena (social environment). RBP seeks to create capital through a reading literacy culture in Kranji Village.

Ekotoksikologi didefinisikan sebagai ilmu yang mempelajari mengenai efek toksik dari bahan-bahan kimia yang toksik terhadap organisme baik tingkat individu, populasi, komunitas serta ekosistem. Biomarker adalah respon-respon yang diukur pada tingkat individu, yang berkisar dari pengukuran enzim dan metabolisme xenobiotik pada indeks organ dan kondisi keseluruhan. Kerang hijau (Perna viridis) adalah kerang dari famili Mytilidae yang sering dijadikan sebagai eco-sentinel organism dalam program monitoring lingkungan perairan laut. Hal ini dikarenakan karena kerang hijau (Perna viridis) hidup sebagai filter feeder yang menyaring partikel-partikel yang ada di perairan tempat hidupnya. Di samping itu kerang hijau adalah organisme yang dikenal dengan sedentary animal. Tujuan praktik lapang adalah untuk menganalisis indeks kondisi dan stress on stress (SOS) kerang hijau (Perna viridis) di perairan Pulau Lae-Lae kecamatan Ujung Pandang Kota Makassar Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. kerang hijau (Perna viridis) hubungan Indeks Biovailaibalitas Logam dalam Kerang (IBLK) & Indeks Kondisi (IK) dilakukan analisis korelasi dari 10 IK yang digunakan dan hanya IK 1, IK 2, IK 4, IK 5, IK 6, IK 9 dan IK 10 mempunyai nilai yang signifikan dengan IBLK. Sedangkan IK 2, IK 7 dan IK 8 mempunyai nilai yang tidak signifikan. IK 1, IK 5, dan IK 9 menunjukkan korelasi sangat kuat dan signifikan terhadap kandungan logam timbal yang dituangkan dalam bentuk indeks biovailabilitas logam dalam kerang (IBLK). Sehingga dikatakan bahwa IK 1, IK 5, dan IK 9 merupakan IK yang sangat peka dan rentan dalam merekam serta mendeteksi keberadaan logam Pb dan dapat digunakan sebagai biomarker dalam monitoring lingkungan atau penentuan status dari perairan. Untuk hubungan antara IK 5 dengan parameter pengamatan yang signifikan adalah lebar cangkang dan berat dagung kering.Pengamatan Stress on Stress (SOS) pada pulau lae-lae dan pangkep dapat disimpulakn bahwa sebanyak 50 % Kerang hijau dari pulau Lae-lae mengalami kematian pada waktu 1 hari 21 jam, dan sebanyak 50 % Kerang cokelat dari Pangkep mengalami kematian pada waktu 1 hari 0 jam. Sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa kerang cokelat dari Pangkep mengalami kematian lebih cepat dibandingkan kerang hijau yang berasal dari Pulau Lae-lae.

Typology of topological relations using machine translation
Authors: Tiran Tanguy , Meewis Floor , Fourtassi Abdellah , Dautriche Isabelle
Published: June 2023

Languages describe spatial relations in different manners. It is however hypothesized that highly frequent ways of categorizing spatial relations across languages correspond to the natural ways humans conceptualize them. In this study, we explore the use of machine translation to gather data in semantic typology to address whether different languages show similarities in how they carve up space. We collected spatial descriptions in English, translated them using machine translation, and subsequently extracted spatial terms automatically. Our results suggest that most spatial descriptions are accurately translated. Despite limitations in our extraction of spatial terms, we obtain meaningful patterns of spatial relation categorization across languages. We discuss translation limits for semantic typology and possible future directions.
Overcoming blinding confounds in psychedelic randomized controlled trials using biomarker driven causal mediation analysis
Authors: Muthukumaraswamy Suresh
Published: June 2023

There is great interest in the use of psychedelic-assisted therapies to treat a range of mental health conditions and initial randomized controlled trials (RCTs) trials have generated positive results. However, the effect sizes reported in psychedelic RCTs are likely inflated due to expectancy effects due to the de-blinding of both participants and study personnel to treatment allocation caused by the distinctive psychoactive effects of psychedelic drugs. In this article an introduction to causal inference for randomized controlled trials, the underlying assumptions, and potential confounders along with graphical illustrations is provided. It is proposed that causal mediation analysis using objectively measured mediating biomarkers could be used to identify causal pathways between treatment and outcome in psychedelic RCTs, even with de-blinding of participants and give greater confidence as to the mechanistic basis and efficacy of psychedelic therapies. It is argued that psychedelic therapies should not be approved as regular medicines until causal pathways are clearly established between treatment and outcome. Potential downsides of doing so include, future indication expansion based on low quality clinical trial evidence, the approval of other therapies based on similarly low-quality evidence, and the potential for efficacy to be unstable over time after approval.

Why do some words have more meanings than others? A true neutral model for the meaning-frequency correlation.
Authors: Koshevoy Alexey , Dautriche Isabelle , Morin Olivier
Published: June 2023

The lexica of natural languages are ambiguous, but the degree of ambiguity is unequal between words. Some words have more meanings than others. However, the exact properties that favor some words over others when acquiring a new meaning are not very well understood. In recent years, several studies suggested that some words gain more meanings than others based on selection for efficient communication, which could explain the correlation between meaning and frequency discovered by Zipf (Piantadosi, Tily, & Gibson, 2012; Gibson et al., 2019). The object of this study is to assess the role of selection in the meaning-frequency correlation using a neutral model that yields a meaning-frequency correlation without selection pressures. We provide a model where words gain additional meanings through reuse. In the neutral model presented in this paper, words are chosen to be reused at random, independently of their frequency, hence there is no selection mechanism favoring efficient communication. Unlike previous attempts to introduce null models of the meaning-frequency correlation (Caplan, Kodner, & Yang, 2020; Trott & Bergen, 2020), it truly does not rely on selection for frequency. We show that statistical regularities related to ambiguity, such as Zipf’s meaning-frequency correlation, can arise in conditions when words are not undergoing any selective pressures. This model has the additional property of matching word frequency distributions of natural languages. It can provide the baseline against which the presence of selection for efficient communication in natural languages can be assessed.
Gefühlte Natur und natürliche Gefühle. Wie die ersten Planetarien urbane Natur produzierten und fühlbar machten
Authors: Ahner Helen
Published: June 2023

When the world’s first planetariums opened in the mid-1920s in the Weimar Republic, people flocked to the institution to view the starry sky, to have it explained to them and to feel close to it. This starry sky, projected onto a dome by a projector, was seen as nature by the mostly urban planetarium audience, and the experiences under the dome as experiences of nature. The reason for this was the feelings that arose in the planetarium and were deliberately evoked by the staging of the shows. The impression of nature in the planetarium was the result of emotional work. Based on an analysis of multi-perspective sources (press reports, lecture manuscripts, advertising materials, planning and administrative documents, photographs, correspondence, etc.), this article shows: Feelings are not only the indicator that something is nature; feelings make nature. Nature was revealed in the planetarium as a co-production of people and machines, technology and narrative, emotion and cognition. It revealed itself as a con(-)fusion in which people found (aesthetic) experiences that fulfilled a variety of purposes for them: These experiences brought them close to a nature imagined as pure and moral, enabled ’modern’ ways of feeling, provided knowledge marked as scientific, and put them in a mood that seemed particularly valuable to them.
Reenactment in the GDR and the FRG. An Actor-centered Study
Authors: Tomann Juliane , Kathke Torsten , Uhlig Mirko
Published: June 2023

While the formative phase of the Anglo-American reenactment scene has already been well researched, a historicisation of reenactments as a popular cultural practice of visualising the past is still largely lacking for Europe. In particular, little is known about the developments in East and West Germany. This is the starting point for our article, which provides an initial reconstruction and classification of the developments in the two German states, which gained momentum especially in the 1970s and 1980s. Our focus is on the subjective experience of contemporary actors, on the basis of which it we trace how various groups of people interested in history in the two German states formed and consolidated and in which ways they were similar or different. It also sheds light on the political and everyday conditions under which people acted. On the basis of these initial actor-centered explorations, the text draws attention to desiderata for further research and suggests research questions for future studies in this field – for example with regard to the transnational relationships and networks of both reenactment scenes and the developments during the post-reunification period.

Contradictorily, the trained teachers also face difficulties to transfer training in the classroom situation effectively due to linguistic variation, improper teaching methods, unavailability of adequate resources, size of the class, mismatch between teaching hour and volume of curriculum and lack of professional zeal. The main purpose of the study is to explore hindrances that obstruct transfer of knowledge to students in the classroom. The article is confined to the pedagogy of peer review, dramatic presentation, narration and active participation of students in solving problems. I have conducted this study under the frame work of Transformational Theories that deal with the problems transforming knowledge, skills and attitude in the real classroom. This research article tries to fill a gap conducting the study on how teachers are prevented from transforming training in the classroom situation. The study explores the problems by interviewing the trained teachers who have faced difficulties in transferring training in classroom situation.

Dynamics of Postcoloniality in African Literature
Authors: Dhobi Saleem
Published: June 2023

This paper examines postcolonialism by analyzing Chimamanda Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun. The research shows postcolonialism a set of theories in philosophy and different approaches to literary analysis concerned with literature written in English in countries. Indeed, postcolonial theorists inspect what happens when two cultures clash and one of them, with its accessory ideology, empowers and deems itself superior to the other. The paper explores how different dynamics of colonialism started to disappear by the early twentieth century. Political, social, economic, and ideological domination of England began to disappear, and the very process can be termed as decolonization. The article sheds light on the literature of Nigeria, a colonized country. After Nigeria became independent from the British colonization, the Biafra war began. Consequently, a great crack at the ethnic level took place in Nigeria. The paper investigates the ethnic conflict as portrayed in the novel. The novel embodies characters of both colonizing and colonized notions to reveal how the racial conflict retains in society. The article demonstrates the theoretical perspective of Homi Bhabha who questions the practice of generalizing and essentializing third world countries with homogeneity. Overall, the paper finds that education is the weapon for the colonized to fight back against the colonizers.

Results: A total of 115 (67.3%) and 63(66.3%) patients above age 50 had kept their prosthesis extremely dirty and dirty in CD and RPD wearers. Patients with low education level had kept their prosthesis extremely dirty [109(73.6%) in CD wearers] and dirty [36(63.2 %) in RPD wearers]. 45(72.6 %) patients wearing RPD at night and 102(75.6 %) patients wearing CD at night had dirty and extremely dirty prosthesis respectively. Factors like age, education, duration of wearing prosthesis, prosthesis worn during night time were associated with prosthesis cleanliness. Similarly, instructions for cleaning prosthesis, method of cleaning and frequency of cleaning had significant association with prosthesis cleanliness.
Conclusion: Prosthesis cleanliness was affected by age and education level. Most of the patients were uninformed about the good oral hygiene practices. More information should be provided to the patients for raising the awareness and motivating them in cleaning the denture in order to provide cleaner prosthesis.

Les changements technologiques ont deux effets de premier ordre sur la nature du travail. Premièrement, les nouvelles technologies peuvent entraîner des changements au sein des professions des personnes sur le marché du travail, et, deuxièmement, elles peuvent pousser ces personnes à passer d’une profession à l’autre. Afin de quantifier ces effets, la présente étude procède à un rapprochement des données détaillées sur les professions tirées des recensements canadiens de 2006 et de 2016 avec des données détaillées qui associent chaque profession à des ensembles de tâches, d’activités et de compétences requises pour cette profession. Les résultats révèlent que l’importance des attributs liés aux interactions sociales et aux tâches cognitives non routinières a augmenté de manière considérable. De plus, la majeure partie de cette augmentation s’est produite au sein de professions étroitement définies. Les hommes ont été plus touchés par les changements observés que les femmes.

“The Spectacle of Amish Attacking Amish”: Framing Dichotomies in News Coverage of a Religious Hate Crime
Authors: Carey Michael Clay
Published: June 2023

This study employs qualitative textual analysis to examine framing dichotomies in mainstream local news coverage of a series of attacks on Amish residents in Ohio carried out by a breakaway Amish group in 2011. Using Stuart Hall’s understanding of narrative binaries and the anthropological concept of the other within the other, the study argues portrayals of both the victims and the perpetrators of those crimes employed common stereotypes of Amish groups. The study describes the negative consequences of the “good Other” representation applied to the victims of the crimes and argues for more nuanced news coverage of non-mainstream religious groups.
