Social conflict in the transforming society of the XXI century: general theoretical aspects
Authors:   Krasnodar University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Kasparov Asker
Published: January 2022

The article notes that the large-scale transformations of the social system taking place in recent years inevitably affect the unctioning of institutions, subsystems, the nature of social phenomena and processes, including significant impact on social conflict. Acting as an attributive characteristic of the society, the conflict is determined by the state of the social system itself, for example, it can become a consequence of its accelerated innovative development. According to many theoretical concepts of conflict, the factors of its determination are profound changes, as well as dysfunctions of the social system as a whole, its individual elements, etc. This is precisely the situation that is objectively developing in the transforming society of the 21st century. The formation of a new image of post-industrial society occurs under the influence of information and communication factors that go far beyond the narrow framework of the socio-technical environment and must be analyzed in the system of socio-cultural, civilizational coordinates. New elements of the social system replace the old ones, inevitably producing risks of innovative development. That is why the current conditions of the transforming society should be regarded as risky in terms of the genesis and development of conflicts. The current situation enhances the relevance of sociological knowledge of the conflict in the new conditions of the post-industrial society.

Authors:   ", Tarasov Vladimir ,   Belgorod Law Institute of MFA of Russia named after I.D. Putilin"
Published: January 2022

The relevance of the research topic consists in solving the scientific and practical problem of integrating migrants into the host community. The purpose of the research is to identify the role of physical culture and sports in the social integration of migrants. The methodology of the research is presented by the theories of assimilation of migrants with the local population; multiculturalism as the idea of the existence of a multinational state; transnationalism implemented in the conditions of globalization, informatization and digitalization of the society. The research methods used are content analysis of documents; analysis of statistical data, secondary analysis of sociological data, comparative analysis. The novelty of the research issue lies in the critical understanding of the advantages and limitations of physical training and sports as tools for integrating migrants into host communities in foreign countries. The results of the research have been defined: the role of physical training and sports activities in the process of migrants' integration based on the domestic and foreign research; the main approaches to the implementation of migration policy measures in world practice (assimilation, multiculturalism and transnationalism) as well as the assessment of its success, by using the Migrant Integration Index. The study allows us to draw a conclusion about the dual nature of the integration potential of physical culture and sports in the implementation of migration policy: on the one hand, it is a way of revealing socio-cultural capital, searching for additional opportunities for self-realization in a new socio-cultural environment, overcoming social isolation, eliminating barriers of social exclusion; on the other hand, it is a deterrent effect of migrants' age, gender, ethnicity, religion, level of education, attitude to various sports and physical activity in the countries of entry and exit on the integration process.
THE JEWS OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE IN THE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION MODERNIZATION: FORMS OF INCORPORATION AND PRESERVATION OF NATIONAL AND RELIGIOUS IDENTITY (ON THE EXAMPLE OF DAGESTAN)
Authors:   Institute of History, Archeology and Ethnography of the Dagestan Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Khalidova Olga
Published: January 2022

The education sector is one of the priority areas in the Russian modernization at the present stage of development. In the conditions of multinational Russia, the question of its national component becomes especially urgent. Taking into account the understanding of the development of an acceptable state policy and the impossibility of neglecting the historical experience of previous eras, in particular the experience of the Russian Empire, the article attempts to consider issues related to the functioning of national schools in the context of the policy of Russification of the periphery using the example of one of the ethnic groups - the Jewish population. The article is devoted to the analysis of the creation of a system of national schools through the introduction of the Russian language in the conditions of the functioning of an extensive network of educational institutions of a religious type in the conditions of overdue modernization in the empire. Dagestan has been chosen as a geographic area for the research as a region where the Mountain Jews historically lived. The chronological framework of the study focuses on the period of the turn of the XIX - early XX centuries, which is explained by attempts to monopolize the Russian educational system and the introduction of restrictive measures in relation to the ethno-confessional school. Such a study, as an experience of the state policy of the Russian Empire on the organization of education for various ethnic groups, makes it possible to identify the positive and negative aspects in the process under consideration, which will allow to avoid the repetition of similar mistakes in the new Russia in the future. Official documentary materials stored in the funds of the central and local archives of the Russian Federation, memoirs, materials from periodicals have been used in the research.
A NATURALIZAÇÃO DA VIOLÊNCIA OBSTÉTRICA E AS DIFICULDADES DO RECONHECIMENTO DOS SEUS SINAIS.
Authors: De Freitas Maria Martha Rennó Ribeiro Chaves , Soares Aragão Júlio César
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo sustenta o objetivo de discorrer sobre a Violência Obstétrica como uma expressão da violência contra a mulher, considerando as desigualdades estabelecidas pelos papeis determinados para homens e mulheres na sociedade. Serão apresentados dados que reforçam que a violência institucional pode mascarar a identificação dos atos e condutas que caracterizam a Violência Obstétrica, sendo este um dos fatores que dificultam o reconhecimento das mulheres enquanto vítimas deste tipo de violência. Outro fator determinante para este processo consiste na inexpressiva quantidade de legislações promulgadas para o combate deste tipo de violência no Brasil. Diante deste contexto, serão apresentadas algumas informações obtidas por meio da realização da pesquisa “Violência Obstétrica e a Violação de Diretos Reprodutivos”. Onze mulheres participantes de um programa de orientação à gestante em um Município do interior do Estado de São Paulo foram convidadas a participar desta pesquisa com características qualitativas. O objetivo geral da pesquisa consiste na identificação da ocorrência e quais os tipos de violência estão presentes nos discursos de vivências dos processos de pré-natal e do fenômeno do parto das mulheres que participam deste programa. Os relatos das mulheres apontam que parto representa um momento propício para a disseminação da violência, pois as usuários dos serviços de Saúde tendem a ter sua autonomia negada em detrimento das desigualdades apontadas anteriormente. Para que a Violência Obstétrica possa ser superada, torna-se necessário ampliar as legislações específicas e possibilitar que a população tenha acesso aos seus direitos, para que estes possam ser exercidos em respeito à autonomia e à dignidade humana.

EFFECTS OF HYDROGEN PRODUCTION ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Authors:   University of Oradea, Doctoral School of Economic Sciences, Oradea, Romania, IONESCU Mihaela
Published: January 2022

In this article the author presents some aspects of the hydrogen market, this fuel is essential to support the European Union’s commitment to achieving climate neutrality by 2050. In 2020, the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has given a boost by speeding up the global long-term challenge of climate change, with more and more countries committing to achieving “zero net” emissions. The energy system in the single internal market is responsible for 75% of greenhouse gas emissions. According to the Green Deal Pact. In the context of the crisis caused by the Pandemic Corona, the European Commission issued the Hydrogen Strategy in which it provided for an investment plan in green energy with the aim of economic recovery in Europe. In this sense, green hydrogen can be the fuel that contributes to reducing energy costs at European level. Decarbonisation leads to a significant increase in the role of electricity, which can cover the demand of over 50% of final energy by 2050, compared to about 20% today. Hydrogen contributes to the security of energy supply by reducing dependence on the import of fossil energy and natural gas. Thus, the diversification of energy supply takes place by facilitating the implementation of renewable energy sources. This is assessed by the estimation of imported fossil fuels that will be replaced by hydrogen based on domestic renewable sources. Green hydrogen can be obtained from clean energy where investments in renewable energy, whose prices are falling, and innovation are a viable solution for the green economy. Hydrogen does not emit greenhouse gases and does not pollute the air when used. In Romania, the potential for renewable energy production is estimated to be almost ten times higher in 2030 than at present, which creates a significant opportunity to use some of this potential in the production of hydrogen that can replace fossil fuels.

Authors: Yang Yanqing , Song Xing
Published: January 2022

Aiming at the problem of face recognition under different illumination intensities combined with deep learning algorithm, this research designs a new loss function, i-center loss function and integrates the structure of migration learning algorithm on the basis of LeNets++ deep learning network. The face image data set labled faces in the wild with different illumination intensities and the image data set of supermarket monitoring system are used to train and test the improved LeNets++ deep learning network based on softmax, center and i-center loss function, and a variety of common image recognition networks. The calculation results show that although the amount of data required for the training of LeNets++ deep learning network is much larger than other networks selected in the study, when the loss function is changed to i-center, the accuracy of face image recognition under different light intensities is significantly improved, reaching 99.65%. In the supermarket data set, the maximum face recognition rate of the algorithm using i-center loss function is 99.07%, which is 0.21% and 0.6% higher than that of using center softmax and softmax loss function, respectively. Therefore, experiments show that the improved deep learning neural network based on i-center loss function can improve the effect of face recognition under different illumination intensities.

A Report on Future Belongs to Biomaterials How Designers are Taking up the Challenge
Authors: Dr. S. W. Dighe
Published: January 2022

A biomaterial is a substance that has been engineered to interact with biological systems for a medical purpose, either a therapeutic (treat, augment, repair, or replace a tissue function of the body) or a diagnostic one. As a science, biomaterials is about fifty years old. The study of biomaterials is called biomaterials science or biomaterials engineering. It has experienced steady and strong growth over its history, with many companies investing large amounts of money into the development of new products. Biomaterials science encompasses elements of medicine, biology, chemistry, tissue engineering and materials science. Note that a biomaterial is different from a biological material, such as bone, that is produced by a biological system. Additionally, care should be exercised in defining a biomaterial as biocompatible, since it is application-specific. A biomaterial that is biocompatible or suitable for one application may not be biocompatible in another. Biomaterials can be derived either from nature or synthesized in the laboratory using a variety of chemical approaches utilizing metallic components, polymers, ceramics or composite materials. They are often used and/or adapted for a medical application, and thus comprise the whole or part of a living structure or biomedical device which performs, augments, or replaces a natural function. Such functions may be relatively passive, like being used for a heart valve, or maybe bioactive with a more interactive functionality such as hydroxy-apatite coated hip implants. Biomaterials are also used every day in dental applications, surgery, and drug delivery. For example, a construct with impregnated pharmaceutical products can be placed into the body, which permits the prolonged release of a drug over an extended period of time.

INCIDÊNCIA DE NINHOS DE FORMIGAS CORTADEIRAS ASSOCIADAS A PLANTIO DE ACÁCIA-NEGRA E ÁREA DE VEGETAÇÃO NATIVA NO ECÓTONO ENTRE OS BIOMAS MATA ATLÂNTICA – PAMPA
Authors: Cunha Lucas Gonçalves da , Saldanha Mateus Alves
Published: January 2022

Introdução: As formigas-cortadeiras merecem destaque dentre os problemas fitossanitários que atingem diferentes cultivos, devido aos danos econômicos que podem causar a plantios florestais e matas nativas. Objetivo: Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar um levantamento de ninhos de formigas-cortadeiras presentes em plantio de acácia-negra e uma área de vegetação nativa, localizadas em Santa Maria, região central do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Material e métodos: As coletas foram realizadas de julho a dezembro de 2020, em áreas pertencentes ao Centro de Pesquisa em Florestas. A área do plantio de acácia-negra possuía, nos meses de coleta, um ano de idade, composta por 600 árvores distribuídas em uma área de aproximadamente 0,3 ha. Para a área de vegetação nativa, foi selecionado um local com área semelhante à do plantio de acácia-negra. Para a coleta do material biológico, as áreas foram percorridas e foram observados a incidência de ninhos ou trilhas de formigas-cortadeiras. Resultados: Quando encontrados, eram coletados 10 espécimes de formigas-cortadeiras por ponto de coleta, as quais eram armazenadas em potes previamente esterilizados, para posterior identificação. Quanto ao plantio de acácia-negra, observou-se que na primeira coleta foram identificados quatro ninhos de formigas-cortadeiras do gênero Acromyrmex, e ao final das coletas, foram identificados seis ninhos de Acromyrmex e um ninho de Atta. Na área de mata nativa, a primeira coleta apontou cinco ninhos de Acromyrmex e um de Atta; no último mês, observou-se sete ninhos de Acromyrmex e dois de Atta. Possivelmente, o aumento da incidência de ninhos de formigas-cortadeiras nas diferentes áreas se deu devido ao aumento de temperatura com a proximidade dos meses de verão, tendo em visto que em temperaturas mais elevadas, tem-se uma maior atividade biológica dos insetos. Ainda, cabe destacar que o maior número de ninhos de formigas do gênero Acromyrmex está relacionado a maior incidência de espécies deste gênero do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Conclusão: Dessa maneira, verifica-se que a maior incidência de ninhos de formigas-cortadeiras ocorre em área de vegetação nativa. Outros estudos visando o monitoramento de ninhos de formigas-cortadeiras são importantes, a fim de se desenvolver estratégias de controle.

Published: January 2022

Construction industry is an important part of the economy in most countries; often seen as a driver of economic growth especially in developing countries. Typically, construction industry contributes significantly to gross domestic products in most developing countries[3]. However, the construction site in Wolaita zone continues to fail to fulfill this fundamental role due to the increased accidents and health hazards. This paper explores the various safety and control measures (SCM) of accidents in building site to minimize accidents’ occurrence and consequent waste generation. A research thesis, consisting of a literature review and a field study were used to achieve the research objectives. The field survey involves a designed questionnaire that was administered through convenience sampling technique within Wolaita zone and descriptive analysis tools were used for the analysis. The field survey reveals different control measures in place and their rate of usage on building site. On the other hand, the literature survey sheds light on the types of accidents on building site and their respective control measures with methodologies for accidents’ preventions. Recommendations based on the findings of the two surveys are outlined in the paper. accidents are caused by a wide range of factors, some of which are: -Lack of awareness of safety regulations; Lack of enforcement of safety regulations; Poor regard for safety by people involved in construction projects; Engaging incompetent personnel; non-vibrant professionalism; Mechanical failure of construction machinery/equipment; Physical and emotional stress; and Chemical impairment Major causes of accidents identified in this research associated with construction projects include inadequate supervision, use of incompetent personnel and use of inappropriate construction techniques. Among the recommendations made for minimizing and/or avoiding re-occurrence of accidents are review of the existing regulations, enforcement, sensitization and training.

Published: January 2022

Civil engineering structures are designed from the knowledge of soil properties at the given site. This research work is for the Investigation of index and engineering properties of Areka town subgrade soils. To investigate these ten test pits were selected by dividing the total area of the town in to ten parts based on the expansion potential of the town and the current distribution of the gravel road according to the municipality of Areka town. The soil samples per pit up to 3m depth, were collected from open pits by direct manual excavation. During field testing, field density and natural moisture content tests were done.[15] The laboratory tests that were carried out includes natural moisture content, particle size distribution, specific gravity, Atterberg limits (LL and PL), compaction (OMC and MDD), CBR and CBR swelling potential tests were conducted. From the results that were obtained for grain size analysis, Atterberg limits and from soil classification systems (USCS and AASHTO). According to the results of this research, Natural Moisture content ranged between 8.0-12.0%, field dry density ranged between 1.66 – 1.87( g/cc) , gravel fraction between 9.18-16.19 %, sand fraction between 22.30-54.26 %, silt fraction between 15.82-47.69 %, Clay fraction between 9.0-35.5%, Specific Gravity ranges between 2.58-2.78, Plasticity Index between 8.21- 14.61%,, GI ranges from 4 to 11 and for the soil classification under A-4, A-6, A-7-5 and A-7-6 according to AASHTO M145 and inorganic silts of medium compressibility according to unified soil classification system and the OMC ranges from 10.14% to 21.37 %, MDD ranges from 1.77 g/cc to 1.98g/cc, CBR swell ranges from 1.42- 1.92% and CBR value ranges from 6.31-8.76 (%) as the test result indicate that CBR swelling potential values were below 2%, therefore they were good to use as a subgrade soil for pavement construction [6]. The CBR values for the soil samples were above 5% so they were good to use as a subgrade soil for pavement construction [11]. From all soil samples the subgrade strength class based on CBR value TP1, TP6, TP9, TP10 were S3; and the remaining were S4 [7].; thus, the subgrade soil has good bearing capacity for the pavement construction based on [4].
A Context-Aware Intelligent System to Assist User Profile Filtering using AI and Deep Learning
Authors: Que Xinrui , Pan Yao
Published: January 2022

Community based websites such as social networks and online forums usually require users to register by providing profile information and avatars. It is important to ensure these user uploaded information comply with the website policy. This includes the information being personal, related and clear, as well as not containing unhealthy/disturbing content. A review or censorship system is usually deployed to review new user registration. Nowadays, many platforms still use manual review or rely on 3rd party APIs. However, manual review is timeconsuming and costly. While 3rd party services are not tailored to the specific business needs thus do not provide enough accuracy. In this paper, we developed an automatically new user registration review system with deep learning. We apply the state-of-art techniques such as CNN and BERT for an end-to-end evaluation system for multi-modal content. We tested our system in E-pal, a freelancing platform for gaming companionship and conducted a qualitative evaluationof the approach. The results show that our system can evaluate the quality of avatars, voice descriptions, and text profiles with high accuracy. The system can significantly reduce the effort of manual review and also provides input for the recommendation ranking.
Current status and problems regarding treating heart failure
Authors: Yoo Byung-Su
Published: January 2022

Background: Heart failure remains a significant socioeconomic burden and leads to critical health problems due to its high mortality and hospitalization rates. Therefore, proper treatment of heart failure is very important in terms of long-term prognosis and quality of life.Current Concepts: The use of evidence-based drugs, intervention treatment, and patient education are essential recommendations to improve the prognosis of heart failure. However, these recommendations of treatment guidelines are not well implemented in actual clinical situations. A more realistic solution can be sought considering the domestic situation. First, it is necessary to improve public awareness of the disease. It is also necessary to actively educate medical personnel, including primary care doctors. Second, efforts to improve clinical inertia or neglect of treatment of medical personnel are needed. For a systematic treatment approach, developing performance indicators in heart failure management are necessary, which can be a realistic and suitable alternative to the domestic clinics.Discussion and Conclusion: Applying a well-proven treatment to patients with heart failure should be essential, which is not an option in actual clinical practice. To solve this problem, social attention and efforts, more grand decisions by academic societies, and creative concerns from public institutions should be necessary in the face of the so-called heart failure epidemic around the world and in Korea.
Principles of asthma treatment and appropriate use of new drugs
Authors: Lee Eung Gu , Rhee Chin Kook
Published: January 2022

Background: Asthma is the most common chronic respiratory disease, affecting 1% to 18% of the population worldwide. It is characterized by various respiratory symptoms, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough, and variable airflow limitation. People with asthma often have periods of worsened symptoms and airway obstruction called exacerbations, which can be fatal. We would like to provide the updated clinical management protocols for patients with asthma.Current Concepts: The goal of asthma treatment is to control symptoms adequately and minimize exacerbations. Anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator therapies are the mainstay of asthma treatment and are recommended as a stepwise approach. The pharmacological treatment of asthma involves evaluating and reviewing the current control status based on the symptoms, future risk of exacerbation, comorbidities, side effects, and patient’s satisfaction. Asthma symptoms in some patients remain uncontrolled despite intensive treatment. The development of biomarkers, evaluation of the patient’s phenotype, and personalized treatment, including biologics, can provide new and effective treatment opportunities.Discussion and Conclusion: Successful asthma management can be achieved through accurate diagnosis of asthma, evaluation of the control stages, correct use of controllers and relievers, adjustment of asthma triggers, personalized approach, and training in self-management.
Management of future infectious diseases: eight recommendations for national quarantine
Authors: Park Hyoung Wook
Published: January 2022

Background: Republic of Korea (ROK) has coped well with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) without requiring an extreme containment policy. However, it is necessary to evaluate issues revealed during the COVID-19 quarantine process.Current Concepts: In the quarantine policy, the legal and scientific basis for quarantine, role of ministries in charge, government-wide support, fairness of quarantine measures, protection of vulnerable people, compensation for vaccination damage, and quarantine budget are important. Discussion and Conclusion: As a result of reviewing the COVID-19 quarantine process, the following issues were found. First, COVID-19 was not properly designated as a first-class infectious disease under the InfectiousDisease Control and Prevention Act. Second, the major direction of the quarantine policy did not reflect ROK’s objective scientific capabilities. Third, quarantine measures did not reflect the relative risk of infection. Fourth, the professional and objective judgments of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency were not respected by other Government officers. Fifth, the fairness of the quarantine policy was greatly undermined. Sixth, the vulnerable and those caring for them were marginalized. Seventh, the purpose of the vaccination damage compensation system of the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act was not well reflected. Eighth, the quarantine policy was ignored in allocation of the national budget. To properly respond to future infectious diseases, ROK must address issues that emerged during the COVID-19 quarantine process.
The persistence of power: Reflections on the power dynamics in a Merging of Knowledge research project
Authors: Osinski Agathe
Published: January 2022

Collaborative research approaches emphasise the need to transform the way the academic community produces science by integrating knowledge from different disciplines, but also by including non-academic knowledge in order to address the challenges of sustainability and social justice. This approach – known in the literature on sustainability science as transdisciplinarity – has been used increasingly in research to resolve sustainability problems, including those related to poverty and socio-economic inequalities. This article seeks to shed light on the power dynamics that exist and emerge in transdisciplinary processes by analysing a case study on food poverty. Following Fritz and Meinherz’s (2020) approach, I use Amy Allen’s (1998) typology of power to track and trace the way that power played out between and within actor groups in a project that applied a transdisciplinary methodology known as the ‘Merging of Knowledge’. Although the Merging of Knowledge model seeks to identify and address power differentials between the participating groups, power relations remain complex, dynamic and – to some extent – inevitable. Collaborative processes would benefit from an analysis of the way that power dynamics emerge, persist and evolve to enhance awareness of different forms of power that coexist in research, and to ensure that imbalances present outside the research process are not reproduced within it.
The Menzerath-Altmann Law in Czech Poems by K. J. Erben
Authors: Čech Radek , Mačutek Ján
Published: January 2022

The aim of the paper is to test the validity of the Menzerath-Altmann law for Czech poems from K. J. Erben’s ballad collection Kytice z pověstí národních (A Bouquet of Folk Legends). We focus particularly on the relationship between word length and syllable length. The Menzerath-Altmann law predicts that the mean syllable length will be longer in shorter words. The parameters of the mathematical model of this law for poems are compared with those for prose texts.
‘A Bíblia É o Nosso Regimento’: debate parlamentar, liberdade de crença e democracia-liberal representativa

Problematizando a razão de legislar sobre crimes de intolerância religiosa, objetivamos analisar as relações entre religião e política no Brasil contemporâneo a partir dos usos da ideia de liberdade de crença por parlamentares religiosos. A tramitação do Projeto de Lei 578/2019, na Assembleia Legislativa do Ceará, de autoria de deputados do PT e que versava sobre a punição de crimes de intolerância religiosa, foi obstada por deputados evangélicos por enxergarem ‘ameaças à Igreja de Jesus’, sob o argumento da ‘liberdade de crença’. Embasados em metodologias qualitativas – revisão bibliográfica parcial, análise discursiva e dos conceitos ‘cidadania religiosa’ e ‘democracia agonística’, investigaremos esta hipótese: os deputados opõem uma ‘muralha’ contra projetos vistos como ‘ameaça à fé’, legitimando, nos limites da democracia representativa, o código moral-religioso. Pretende-se compreender, assim, os limites postos à laicidade do Estado pela atuação de parlamentares que fazem da defesa dos interesses de suas instituições a raison d’être de seus mandatos.
O Transe como Performance no Candomblé e Umbanda
Authors: Filene Bruno Karasiaki , Alvarez Gabriel Omar
Published: January 2022

No artigo compreendemos o transe enquanto performance de mediação da tradição cultural. Apresentamos o transe como modo performático em contraste com outras abordagens que trabalham o transe como conceito. Esta abordagem permite compreender o transe no ritual como manifestação das noções de pessoa nas religiões de matriz africana e afrobrasileira. As tradições contemplam em espaço liminar ritual: Orixás e entidades, que em seus contextos são performados pelos iniciados no espaço público religioso.
Da Aflição aos Direitos: reflexões sobre contextos religiosos e os discursos de ‘ação afirmativa’
Authors: Contins Marcia
Published: January 2022

Há anos pesquiso religiões de matrizes africanas no Brasil em áreas urbanas. Em anos recentes venho discutindo as transformações no campo religioso no Rio de Janeiro e sua repercussão na formação de novas subjetividades. Neste artigo, pretendo analisar de que modo dessas transformações repercutem na autoconsciência dos atores situados nesse campo religioso, especialmente no que se refere a sua presença no espaço público. No campo dos discursos e políticas de ‘ação afirmativa’, esses atores, deslocando o tema religioso das aflições, apresentam-se como ‘sujeitos de direito’, com um discurso pautado por reivindicações sociais e políticas.
Petrology and Fluid Inclusion Study of W+Sb±Au Quartz Vein Mineralization in Sebuku Island, South Kalimantan, Indonesia

Sebuku Island in South Kalimantan province has hosted one of the largest Fe-Ni laterite deposits in Indonesia. Surface mapping has discovered new ore deposit types, notably quartz-bearing W+Sb±Au ore veins in the northern Sebuku. This study aims to characterize this newly-discovered deposit type and understand its origin. We present geological mapping, petrographic and ore microscopic observations, and data from XRD, bulk-ore major and trace element (XRF and ICPMS), as well as fluid inclusion microthermometric analyses. The results show that the host rocks are composed of metasandstone and metapelitic rocks. The quartz veins are associated with narrow alteration zones, comprising silicic, sericite and argillic types, which are strongly controlled by NE-trending dextral and SE-trending sinistral strike-slip faults. The veins trend approximately N120oE, and have massive, brecciated, drusy, comb and bladed textures. Ore minerals comprise mainly wolframite, stibnite, kermesite, tripuhyite, and minor arsenopyrite, pyrite and Fe-Ti oxides. The ores contain up to 958 ppm W and 1,220 ppm Sb, with wolframite and stibnite being the main ore minerals. Medium homogenization temperatures (Th) were found for the fluid inclusions, ranging from 238 to >350°C, which correspond to moderate fluid salinity of 1.4 to 5.4 wt.% NaCl eq. Based on those characteristics, the W+Sb±Au mineralization in Sebuku is similar to a mesothermal type
Arctic mixed-phase clouds sometimes dissipate due to insufficient aerosol: evidence from observations and idealized simulations

Abstract. Mixed-phase clouds are ubiquitous in the Arctic. These clouds can persist for days and dissipate in a matter of hours. It is sometimes unknown what causes this sudden dissipation, but aerosol-cloud interactions may be involved. Arctic aerosol concentrations can be low enough to affect cloud formation and structure, and it has been hypothesized that, in some instances, concentrations can drop below some critical value needed to maintain a cloud. We use observations from a Department of Energy ARM site on the north slope of Alaska at Oliktok Point (OLI), the ASCOS field campaign in the high Arctic Ocean, and the ICECAPS-ACE project at the NSF Summit Station in Greenland (SMT) to identify one case per site where Arctic boundary-layer clouds dissipated coincidentally with a decrease in surface aerosol concentrations. These cases are used to initialize idealized large eddy simulations (LES) in which aerosol concentrations are held constant until, at a specified time, all aerosols are removed instantaneously – effectively creating an extreme case of aerosol-limited dissipation which represents the fastest a cloud could possibly dissipate via this process. These LES simulations are compared against the observed data to determine whether cases could, potentially, be dissipating due to insufficient aerosol. The OLI case’s observed liquid water path (LWP) dissipated faster than its simulation, indicating that other processes are likely the primary driver of the dissipation. The ASCOS and SMT observed LWP dissipated at similar rates to their respective simulations, suggesting that aerosol-limited dissipation may be occurring in these instances. We also find that the microphysical response to this extreme aerosol forcing depends greatly on the specific case being simulated. Cases with drizzling liquid layers are simulated to dissipate by accelerating precipitation when aerosol is removed while the case with a non-drizzling liquid layer dissipates quickly, possibly glaciating via the Wegener-Bergeron-Findeisen (WBF) process. The non-drizzling case is also more sensitive to INP concentrations than the drizzling cases. Overall, the simulations suggest that aerosol-limited cloud dissipation in the Arctic is plausible and that there are at least two microphysical pathways by which aerosol-limited dissipation can occur.
Quantifying the non-linear dependence of energetic electron fluxes in the Earth's radiation belts with radial diffusion drivers

Abstract. In this study, we use mutual information to characterise statistical dependencies of seed and relativistic electron fluxes in the Earth's radiation belts on ultra-low-frequency (ULF) wave power measured on the ground and at geostationary orbit. The benefit of mutual information, in comparison to measures such as the Pearson correlation, lies in the capacity to distinguish non-linear dependencies from linear ones. After reviewing the property of mutual information and its relationship with the Pearson correlation for Gaussian bivariates, we present a methodology to quantify and distinguish linear and non-linear statistical dependencies that can be generalised to a wide range of solar wind drivers and magnetospheric responses. We present an application of the methodology by revisiting the case events studied by Rostoker et al. (1998). Our results corroborate the conclusions of Rostoker et al. (1998) that ULF wave power and relativistic electron fluxes are statistically dependent upon one another. We also estimate that the Pearson correlation is missing between 20 % and 30 % of the statistical dependency between ULF wave power and relativistic electron fluxes. Thus, the Pearson correlation underestimates the impact of ULF waves on energetic electron fluxes. However, we find that observed enhancements in relativistic electron fluxes correlate modestly, both linearly and non-linearly, with the ULF power spectrum when compared with values found in previous studies (Simms et al., 2014) and with correlational values found between seed electrons and ULF wave power for the same case events. Our results are indicative of the importance of incorporating data analysis tools that can quantify linear and non-linear interdependencies of various solar wind drivers.
