Published: February 2024

We analyze Kodiak, an eroded delta remnant in Jezero Crater, Mars, using
several hundred images from the Mastcam-Z and SuperCam instruments on
the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover. We create a high-accuracy digital
terrain model to measure Kodiak’s stratigraphic layers, which we divide
into three units and characterize individually. While each unit
possesses geometries interpreted as consistent with a Gilbert-style
delta formation, the older units exposed on Kodiak’s north to northeast
sides include more complex layered structures with azimuthally varying
foresets. We compare Kodiak’s northeast foresets with the clinoforms of
Whale Mountain, an outcrop exposed in the Western Jezero Delta scarp,
and show similar azimuthally varying foresets. The stratigraphic
analysis presented herein (strike and dip, unit thickness, etc.) will
help test and refine detailed sedimentological hypotheses for the
formation and evolution of the Jezero delta. Our 3D reconstruction and
measurements enable unprecedented precision to evaluate depositional
models and advance geological interpretation.
When, Where and to What Extent Do Temperature Perturbations near Tropical Deep Convection Follow Convective Quasi Equilibrium?
Authors: Li Yi-Xian , Masunaga Hirohiko , Takahashi Hanii , Yu Jia-Yuh
Published: February 2024

Convective Quasi-Equilibrium (CQE) is often adopted as a useful closure
assumption to summarize the effects of unresolved convection on
large-scale thermodynamics, while existing efforts to observationally
validate CQE largely rely on specific spatial domains or sites rather
than the source of CQE constraints—deep convection. This study employs
a Lagrangian framework to investigate leading temperature perturbation
patterns near deep convection, of which the centers are located by use
of an ensemble of satellite measurements. Temperature perturbations near
deep convection with high peak precipitation are rapidly adjusted
towards the CQE structure within the two hours centered on peak
precipitation. The top 1% precipitating deep convection constrains the
neighboring free-tropospheric leading perturbations up to 8 degrees.
Notable CQE validity beyond a 1-degree radius is observed when peak
precipitation exceeds the 95th percentile. These findings suggest that
only a small fraction of deep convection with extreme precipitation
shapes tropical free-tropospheric temperature patterns dominantly.

Artificial intelligence that aims to imitate human decision-making processes, using human knowledge as a foundation, is a critical research area with various practical applications in different disciplines. In the health domain, machine learning and image processing techniques are increasingly being used to assist in diagnosing diseases using laboratory results, findings, MRI, tomography, or radiology images, and etc. However, many healthcare reports, such as epicrisis summaries prepared by clinical experts, contain crucial and valuable information. In addition to information extraction from healthcare reports, applications such as automatic healthcare report generation are among the natural language processing research areas based on this knowledge and experience. The primary goals are to reduce the workload of clinical experts, minimize the likelihood of errors, and save time to speed up the diagnosis process. The MIMIC-CXR dataset is a huge dataset consisting of chest radiographs and reports prepared by radiology experts related to these images. This study focuses on the structural and semantic analysis of MIMIC-CXR radiography reports. Before developing a natural language processing-based model, preprocessing steps were applied to the dataset, and the results of syntactic and semantic analyses performed on unstructured report datasets are presented. This study is expected to provide insights for developing language models, particularly for developing a natural language processing model on the MIMIC-CXR dataset.

Authors: Pontén Sebastian , Lagerbäck Tobias , Blomé Sebastian , Jensen Karin , Skorpil Mikael , Gerdhem Paul
Published: February 2024

Background and purpose: Adults treated surgically for lumbar disc herniation in adolescence have a higher degree of lumbar disc degeneration than controls. We aimed to establish whether the degree of lumbar degeneration differs at diagnosis or at follow-up between surgically and non-surgically treated individuals.Methods: We identified individuals with a lumbar disc herniation in adolescence diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contacted them for follow-up MRI. Lumbar degeneration was assessed according to Pfirrmann, Modic, and total end plate score (TEP score). Patient-reported outcome measures at follow-up comprised the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), EQ-5D-3-level version, 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for back and leg pain. Fisher’s exact test, Mann–Whitney U tests, Wilcoxon tests, and logistic regression were used for statistical analysis.Results: MRIs were available at diagnosis and after a mean of 11.9 years in 17 surgically treated individuals and 14 non-surgically treated individuals. Lumbar degeneration was similar at diagnosis (P = 0.2) and at follow-up, with the exception of higher TEP scores in surgically treated individuals at levels L4–L5 and L5–S1 at follow-up (P ≤ 0.03), but this difference did not remain after adjustment for age and sex (P ≥ 0.8). There were no significant differences in patient-reported outcome measures between the groups at follow-up (all P ≥ 0.2).Conclusion: Adolescents with a lumbar disc herniation have, irrespective of treatment, a similar degree of lumbar degeneration at the time of diagnosis, and similar lumbar degeneration and patient-reported outcomes at long-term follow-up.

Femoroacetabular impingement (CFA) is a common cause of thigh pain in athletes. This pathology is characterized by a conflict between the proximal femur and the acetabular rim. Athletes typically become symptomatic after reaching skeletal maturity and often describe deep inguinal pain that worsens with physical activity, squatting, cutting, or pivoting motions. For this reason, sports like football and hockey can be particularly painful for an athlete with CFA. In addition to its condition¬ing role in sports, CFA can lead to premature wear of the hip joint with the early onset of coxarthro¬sis. Currently, CFA can be reliably diagnosed through careful history taking, a thorough physical examination with specific provocative tests, and a pertinent imaging evaluation. The objective of this review is to provide information about the pathogenesis of CFA, describe in detail the classic history and the elements of the physical examination and finally present the various types of treat¬ment that can be applied to these patients.

Plantar plate lesions are a common cause of metatarsalgia, a prevalent symptom among the general population and athletes. The plantar plate is a fibrocartilaginous structure located in the plantar side of the feet, that is partly responsible for articular stability. High-impact activities and overuse contribute to plantar plate lesions. The diagnosis is mainly clinical but magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound can be useful for differential diagnosis. Generally, conservative management, which includes analgesia, shoe adaptation and rehabilitation, is the preferred first treatment option. Surgi¬cal treatment is indicated for severe cases or refractory cases, and post-surgical rehabilitation is mandatory for prognostic optimization.

Authors: Seeger Guerra Ana Luiza , Ferreira Lisbôa Filho Flavi
Published: February 2024

Este trabalho tem como temática a criação de uma coleção de joias baseada no mapeamento de algumas igrejas católicas da região da Quarta Colônia - RS. A arquitetura e a iconografia religiosa das igrejas serviram de referência para a criação da nova coleção, que objetiva discutir questões identitárias e de Design à luz da proposta do Geoparque Quarta Colônia Aspirante UNESCO e das técnicas criativas e de produção do Design de Joias. No decorrer da pesquisa, pode-se compreender a grande importância da Igreja Católica na formação das cidades, pois os principais comércios e pontos de encontro da comunidade se formaram próximos à matriz religiosa, e como essa centralidade se mantém até hoje, seja no aspecto religioso, seja no turístico por conta da beleza dessas edificações. Além da fé transmitida por gerações, a Igreja teve e continua tendo papel social fundamental na Quarta Colônia Italiana. Para que a coleção de joias produzidas como resultado desta pesquisa transmitisse e representasse simbolismos e os significados presentes nas Igrejas matrizes selecionadas da Quarta Colônia, buscou-se compreender a estrutura estética desses templos, assim como a história e aspectos iconográficos dos padroeiros a quem essas construções foram dedicadas. Encontrou-se essas representações em alguns elementos arquitetônicos, embora estivessem mais evidentes nas pinturas de Ângelo Lazzarini, artista responsável pela maioria das pinturas presentes nesses templos. A preocupação em relação ao design desenvolvido nesse trabalho foi ademais da entrega do produto em si, procurou-se transmitir formas e significados de forma conjunta, unindo a estética com o que esta representa de forma iconográfica e simbólica. Buscou-se, por meio das joias, fazer uma evocação aos templos, aos padroeiros, à religiosidade e a toda iconografia inerente.

Amidst the realm of employment scenarios, there are cases where an employee’s actions caused injury to their victims. Generally, an employer may be held vicariously liable for its employee’s actions, subject to several conditions. The research found that while the concept of vicarious liability has been long recognised in Malaysia, there is still a question over the test used by the court in determining “the course of employment.” The test to determine “the course of employment” has evolved over time, transitioning from “frolic of his own” to a “close connection test,” as affirmed in GMP Kaisar Security (M) Sdn Bhd v Mohamad Amirul Amin Bin Mohamed Amir [2022] 6 MLJ 369. In this case, the Federal Court held that the employee’s shooting was closely connected to his employment, and that it would be fair and just to hold the employer vicariously liable, despite the fact that his actions may have been unauthorised by the employer. However, this flexible approach may offer limited protection to the latter. This research therefore aims to analyse the conditions for establishing vicarious liability in Malaysia, particularly the test employed by the court, to determine whether the defendant’s actions fall within the course of employment. This research adopts a doctrinal approach involving a detailed analysis of the relevant case law and scholarly writing related to this area.

Phosphorus (P) is considered a limited and non-renewable mineral source that is essential in our daily lives, especially for the agricultural industry to produce fertilizer. Food Waste (FW), Palm Oil Mill Effluent Sludge (POMES), and Water Treatment Sludge (WTS) are wastes that are claimed to contain nutrients such as P. One of the methods that can be used to recover P is through the Anaerobic Mesophilic Digestion (AMD) technique. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the highest P recovery and time digestion from single and mixing substrates. The physicochemical and biological properties of raw FW, POMES, and WTS were determined, and it was reported that wastes were suitable to undergo the AMD process. Mesophilic conditions 350C (±1) were used as the appropriate conditions for the anaerobic bacteria (AB) to reproduce and grow. Results for single substrates found that POMES recovered the highest P with 57.88% (±1.24), and optimum digestion was at day 12. While FW and WTS recovered P with 31.94% (±0.76) and 26.47% (±1.51), respectively, the optimum digestion times for both wastes were at days 18 (FW) and 21 (WTS), respectively, which were longer than POMES. In mixing substrates, FW-POMES contributed to the highest P recovery value with 68.34% (±1.49), and the optimum time digestion was on day 9. Followed by WTS-POME, FW-WTS, and FW-POMES-WTS with values of 60.42% (±2.12) (day 15), 48.05% (±2.51) (day 8), and 20.85% (±1.33) (day 3), respectively. The better synergetic effect within anaerobic bacteria (AB) in mixing substrates with FW-POMES could eventually influence the highest P removal from the substrate in a short period of time. Moreover, this study also provides information on new strategies used in recovering P.

Antibiotic use may hasten the emergence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in bacteria, posing health concerns to humans and animals alike. The emergence of ARGs in aquatic ecosystems is becoming a growing problem around the world. Hundreds of different ARGs encoding antibiotic resistance have been discovered in bacteria found in sewage, effluent treatment facilities, surface water, groundwater, and even drinking water. Antibiotic resistance genes can be transmitted from one cell to another by conjugation, transformation, or transduction. This gene exchange allows resistance to spread quickly within a bacterial community and between various species of bacteria. This is more so in an ideal environment such as aquatic ecosystems. The purpose of this article is to review the presence of ARGs in various aquatic ecosystems and how this will affect humans. Based on 30 selected studies in the last five years (2017-2022), we notice that ARGs can be found in various aquatic ecosystems, including surface water, wastewater, and plastic and microplastic debris found in these ecosystems. There are some studies showing ARGs are directly affecting humans, but there are also many ongoing efforts and technologies to reduce ARGs in aquatic ecosystems. From the discussion, we conclude that antibiotic resistance genes can thrive in various aquatic ecosystems, which offer an ideal environment for their replication. Although aimed at reducing pollutants in the environment, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been identified as potential hubs for the spread of antibiotic resistance determinants into aquatic ecosystems, showing the importance of continuous monitoring and finding solutions.

Character in the Adapted Series “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries”: Playing with Tradition
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Orlova Elizaveta
Published: February 2024

The Australian TV-series “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries” follows a trend that has emerged in mystery film genre over the last few decades. On the one hand, it is an old story about a private detective; on the other – a new narrative, that fascinates the viewer with an extraordinary setting. This effect is provided by the intertextual links that the series forms with the texts of its surroundings. This article examines how various intertextual elements form the image of the “Roaring Twenties”, linking the cinema text with the ‘classic detective’, while at the same time referring to modern cinema. These challenges are reconciled through the image of the main character. The ironic play with the familiar texts produces a light atmosphere of the series, and the references to the fashion and art of the 1920s construct the illusion of the “reality” of Miss Fisher, who finds her own place in the canon owing to the connections with the world of a detective story
Comparative Analysis of Word-Building Potential of English Adverbial Suffix -ly and Its Tajik Equivalents
Authors:   Khujand State University named after academician B. Gafurov, Ashrapov Bahodurjon
Published: February 2024

The article dwells on the issues beset with the comparative analysis of wordbuilding potential of English adverbial suffix -ly and its Tajik equivalents. It is noted that adverb is recognized as an independent part of speech in the comparative languages. However, its classification as a special category in these languages is uncertain, their lexical boundaries are wide, and their functional types are diverse. It is underscored that the lexical fields of adverbs are very broad and their functional types are different. It is concluded that adverbs are divided into simple, derivative, compound and composite groups based on their structure in the comprative languages and depending on their meaning they are singled out into the following sub-groups, such as: place, time, direction, frequency, modal (English), cause and purpose, manner of action and quantity and degree.
From Pine to Pineapple: Nature in the Shakespeare Criticism of S. Johnson and S.T. Coleridge
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Zueva Polina
Published: February 2024

The concept of ‘nature’ often appears in the British Shakespeare criticism of the 18th–19th centuries. The very use of this term is of interest, since it often turns out to be associated with other important ideas that form the theoretical basis for a critic’s perception of Shakespeare’s personality and works. However, this article examines cases when Shakespeare critics refer specifically to the natural world (mainly to plants) in their works. The criticism by two authors: S. Johnson and S.T. Coleridge – is studied to demonstrate the evolution in the use of plant metaphors in relation to Shakespeare. The peculiarities of these metaphors are determined by several factors: cultural and historical context, the critics` aesthetic and philosophical views, their personal emotional attitude to the Bard’s works. At the end of the article the evident connections between Johnson`s and Coleridge`s plant metaphors are viewed.
Essentialist traps and how to avoid them
Authors: Femia Nicolas
Published: February 2024

Through the monolingual bias and essentialist understandings of language in education, multilingual youth across the globe have consistently been portrayed as deficient based on their linguistic practices. Deficit approaches in education stem from a colonial project meant to silence the voices and erase the experiences of the Other, and although there is a long tradition of pedagogies that try to counteract this form of discrimination, these attempts are typically built on principles and assumptions that reproduce essentialism and dynamics of marginalization. In this position paper, I argue that it is necessary for educators to engage with non-essentialist understandings of language and multi-sided perspectives on multilingualism to develop pedagogies that are empowering for multilingual youth in Sweden. By engaging with the decolonial notion of linguistic citizenship, educators in Sweden can allow fluid understandings of multilingualism to enter the classroom, creating spaces for socio-political participation and dialogue at the margins of institutional arenas in which language can be negotiated. This measure creates opportunities for empowerment for all students, engaging them in the reconstruction of language and giving voice to stories that would otherwise remain silent.

Authors: Hernandez Hizkia , Kushartomo Widodo
Published: February 2024

Concrete is a commonly used material in the field of building construction, nowadays many projects use self-compacting concrete (SCC). Concrete usually has high compressive strength but has weak tensile and flexural strength, Low strength of concrete can be increased by adding fiber as an additive. In this research, jute fiber is used as an ingredient to increase the tensile strength of concrete, considering that jute fiber is a natural fiber that is easily available, high tensile strength and cheap. In this research, the type of concrete made is SCC in the form of cylinders and beams with a volume variation of adding jute fiber as much as 0%, 1%, 1,5%, 2%, 2,5%. The number of samples made consisted of 6 cylinders and 3 beams for each volume variation of jute fiber used. Tests were conducted in the form of flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, split tensile strength, and compressive strength. Treatment of test objects is done by immersion. The test results showed that the split tensile and flexural strength of SCC concrete using jute fiber increased up to 2% volume. At the same time, the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of SCC concrete continued to decrease with increasing jute fiber variation compared to normal SCC concrete.

The slower-than-anticipated progress of construction projects is a common complaint in Indonesia. Several methods have been developed to address this issue, and the Earned Schedule method is just one of them. This method is derived from the Acquisition Value strategy and works by converting acquisition cost signals into operational time signals. The Earned Schedule method has a time component. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Earned Schedule method is suitable for use in estimating the duration of toll road infrastructure projects in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to see if there is a correlation between the median Earned Schedule and the median actual duration of the population. if checking whether the two samples come from the same population, you can use the mean difference hypothesis test. The results of this study were organized using seven unfinished and four complete sets of s-curve data. Therefore, using the Earned Schedule method, there is no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of final duration estimation. As a result, the Earned Schedule method can be used to accurately predict how long it will take for toll road projects in Indonesia.
