Published: November 2024

The handicraft industry in Indonesia is one of the three subsectors that contribute significantly to the country’s GDP. Among other creative industry subsectors, handicrafts (particularly the Batik industry in this case) have the highest labor force multiplier. Despite MSMEs contributing 60% to the national GDP, the productivity of micro enterprises is still much lower than that of small and medium enterprises. This issue of low micro-scale productivity may be attributed to the lack of skills and human resource development, as well as ineffective management of government assistance for MSMEs. The batik craft industry, which has received recognition from UNESCO, is predominantly composed of micro-scale enterprises. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the factors that hinder the development of designs among micro-scale batik MSMEs. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that hinder collaboration in the development of micro-scale batik MSME designs. The study uses an interview method with snowball sampling techniques, focusing on East Java, the Special Region (Daerah Istimewa, DI) of Yogyakarta, and East Kalimantan Provinces in Indonesia. The results reveal several factors that hinder design innovation in micro-scale batik MSMEs in these regions. The most influential factors are strategic, structural, human resources, market-related, government-related, and community-related issues. Internal factors include limited capital, minimal design knowledge, education, and work experience, while external factors include insufficient government training facilities, a lack of understanding of consumer preferences, and competition with other batik artists due to similarities in motif designs.

Published: November 2024

The rapid advancements of Industrial Revolution 4.0 have transformed various aspects of daily life, particularly in financial technology (Fintech). While Fintech offers benefits such as time efficiency, transaction flexibility, and service convenience, security risks associated with mobile applications remain a significant concern for both users and innovators. As the demand for secure digital financial solutions grows, driven by a tech-savvy population, innovations such as advanced encryption technologies and the widespread adoption of mobile apps and digital wallets have enhanced the security and trustworthiness of online transactions. This study aims to explore the key factors influencing Fintech usage from the perspective of individuals, with a focus on a youthful, tech-savvy population in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Data was collected through an online survey of 300 respondents and analyzed using SPSS (Version 27) through descriptive and multiple regression methods. The results indicate that security, innovativeness, and perceived benefits are significant predictors of Fintech usage in Klang Valley, Malaysia. These findings suggest that financial institutions play a pivotal role in promoting digital literacy and fostering greater Fintech adoption. Furthermore, the government should accelerate improvements in ICT infrastructure, expand mobile broadband access, support Fintech start-ups, provide regulatory sandboxes, and encourage financial institutions to develop innovative solutions for underserved populations. These insights are valuable for regulators, policymakers, financial institutions, and the public, highlighting the importance of building user trust through enhanced security measures and promoting the practical benefits of Fintech services. Future research should examine additional factors such as financial literacy and regulatory awareness, and longitudinal studies could offer a deeper understanding of the evolving role of Fintech in daily life.

Authors: Murad Murzidah Ahmad , Fitri Nur Fara Aina Mohd , Selamat Atikah Saadah , Ithnin Hafini Suhana
Published: November 2024

The rise of self-checkout technology has significantly transformed the retail landscape, offering customers enhanced autonomy and convenience. However, the effectiveness of these systems in driving customer satisfaction depends on key self-checkout technology service quality factors such as speed of service, technology usability, shorter queues, and overall customer experience. Despite the widespread adoption of self-checkout systems, there is limited understanding of how specific service quality factors influence customer satisfaction. Issues such as slow response times, technical malfunctions, and lack of support often hinder the customer experience, which calls for a detailed examination of these factors to improve service quality. The study aims to (1) identify the relationship between self-checkout technology service quality and customer satisfaction and (2) determine the most significant factors that affect customer satisfaction in retail environments. A quantitative research approach was employed, and data was collected through structured questionnaires at the selected supermarket in Malaysia. The data was analyzed using multiple regression analysis to determine the relationship between service quality dimensions and customer satisfaction. The analysis revealed that customer experience was the most significant factor affecting satisfaction, followed by shorter queues, speed of service, and technology. Positive experiences with the system contributed most to higher satisfaction levels, while delays or technical malfunctions negatively impacted satisfaction. The study concludes that improving the customer experience and minimizing queues are crucial to enhancing satisfaction with self-checkout systems. Retailers should design intuitive, user-friendly systems to increase customer retention and satisfaction. These findings provide valuable insights for improving self-checkout systems in retail, promoting greater customer loyalty and operational efficiency.
Improving Breast Cancer Diagnosis with AI Mammogram Image Analysis
Authors: Krishna Tiruveedula Gopi , Mahboub Mohamed Abdeldaiem Abdelhadi
Published: November 2024

Cancer is one of the worst diseases ailing humanity, but there is no known cure. Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent types of disease. Women aged 20-59 are disproportionately affected by breast cancer; however, death rates can be reduced with proper screening and treatment. Breast cancer detection and classification into cancer and healthy cells is one of the disease's most intractable difficulties. Cancer and healthy cells can be differentiated using AI methods based on their form and other biological features. This study proposes an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled heuristic framework (AI-HF) with the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) to identify and classify breast cancer at its earliest stages through machine intelligence techniques (MIT). The proposed method identifies cancer cells by extracting shape and texture-based features and then classifying them using machine learning (ML) classification techniques. Furthermore, this paper uses support vector machines (SVMs) to diagnose cancer based on optimal features taken from images of segmented cells. Experimental results on real data sets show that the suggested method accurately detects and classifies abnormal cells in breast cancer images rate of 98%. Finally, our AI-HF classifier is an efficient model that, in contrast to traditional techniques, can rapidly identify between cancer cells and healthy cells based on attributes extracted from images of the cells.

Narratives of Securitization: Media Portrayals of Refugees in Türkiye During Election Periods
Authors: Çetin Canan , Gürelli Melike
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the portrayal of Syrian refugees in theTurkish media within the theoretical framework of securitization, focusing on the context of seven electoral periods between 2014 and 2023. Employing thematic analysis as its methodological approach, the research meticulously examines a dataset comprising 12,794 newspaper articles to explore how the narratives surrounding Syrian refugees have been shaped and influenced by the political climate of elections in Türkiye. The analysis aims to uncover the extent to which Syrian refugees are securitized in media discourse, identifying variations in the intensity and nature of coverage across different types of elections and among various media outlets, including both state-run and private newspapers. The findings reveal that 21% of the media coverage categorizes Syrian refugees under criminal themes, with a significant emphasis on "smuggling" and "caught" sub-themes. This securitization of refugees varies significantly during electoral periods, suggesting a strategic use of media narratives to influence public opinion and potentially affect electoral outcomes. The study highlights a dynamic interplay between media representations of refugees and the electoral cycle, with private media (Habertürk & Hürriyet) outlets showing a more pronounced fluctuation in coverage compared to state-run media (TRT). This research contributes to the discourse on the media securitization of refugees by providing empirical insights into the politicization of refugee issues during critical political junctures. It underscores the pivotal role of the media in shaping societal perceptions and dialogues about refugees, thereby informing both public discourse and policymaking. The findings of this study highlight the need for a critical examination of the social and political implications of media practices. Additionally, they argue for a journalistic approach that accurately reflects the complexity of the refugee experiences and operates with a sense of responsibility.

Assessing Determinants of Social Entrepreneurial Intentions Among MBA Students in Windhoek
Authors: Naruseb Gottlieb Bonsie , Kalitanyi Vivence
Published: November 2024

Social entrepreneurship intention (SEI) is a key strategy to address social inequalities. Despite public and private efforts, the prevalence of inequality persists in society. Theory of planned behaviour (TPB) appears to be a fundamental theory in assessing SEI hence this study aims to assess determinants of SEI among students based on TPB. As the MBA program consists of five fields of study and the study intends to have representation from each field, using stratified random sampling was more appropriate as a sampling technique. Quantitative data was collected using structured questionnaires distributed online. SPSS software was used for data visualization and statistical data analysis. All respondents were employed, with 37% being self-employed. The Cronbach Alpha of 0.784 is a good reliable internal consistency, for the items used. Perceived social support (PSS), personal attitude, perceived behavioural control, and social entrepreneurial self-efficacy are the most influential predictors of SEI. Although empathy, moral obligation, and prior experience have weak relationships with SEI, although their correlations are positive. Independent variables account for 64.9% of the variance in SEI. The study contributes to the social entrepreneurship intentions literature among MBA students. Finally, social entrepreneurial intentions can be improved through institutional support. The study suggests conducting additional research covering a broader range of institutions offering MBA programs.
Causal associations of ambient particulate matter 10 and Alzheimer’s disease: result from a two-sample multivariable Mendelian randomization study
Authors: Huang Zehan , He Guodong , Sun Shuo , Feng Yingqing , Huang Yuqing
Published: November 2024

Introduction

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and ambient particulate matter 10 (PM10) have been associated in epidemiological studies. However, the relationship between PM10 and risk of AD has not been proven to be causal. Thus we used two-sample multivariable Mendelian randomization (MR) to examine this relationship.

Material and methods

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for PM10 from UK Biobank, AD from EBI GWAS and IEU OpenGWAS were used for discovery and replication, respectively. Pooled meta-analysis of the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was the main method. Sensitivity analyses included MR-Egger regression, weighted median, weighted mode and leave-one-out methods. The multivariable MR model adjusted for education. The MR estimates of causality association were expressed as odds ratios (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results

There were in total 17 and 19 genetic variants associated with PM10 in the discovery and replication steps, respectively. In the univariate MR, pooled meta-analysis of genetically predicted PM10 was associated with a 99% increased risk of AD (95% CI: 1.25, 3.15, p = 0.004) per 1 standard deviation (SD) increment of PM10 by IVW, and in the multivariable MR with pooled meta-analysis, we found that each SD increase in PM10 was associated with a 127% increase in the risk of AD (95% CI: 1.33, 3.86, p = 0.002) after accounting for education levels.

Conclusions

Increased PM10 levels were found to be significantly related to an increased risk of AD. This study provided evidence of genetic prediction of a causal relationship between PM10 and the risk of AD, suggesting that air pollution control may have significant implications for the prevention of AD.

Imitação a Camões em Cristaes da alma (1673), de Gerardo de Escobar
Authors: Silva Isabel Scremin da
Published: November 2024

Este artigo visa investigar a presença de Camões em fins do século XVII, em Portugal, com base na ficção amorosa de Gerardo de Escobar, pseudônimo de fr. Antônio de Escobar (1618-1681), disposta em Cristaes da alma (1673). A imitação a Camões destaca-se em três momentos dos Cristaes: nos elogios aos olhos da mulher amada, com emulações (anti)petrarquistas; nos passeios da persona poética por um bosque, com referências ao Gigante Adamastor; nos suspiros de Aônio, que retomam e amplificam um soneto camoniano. Veremos como Escobar imita e diversifica a poesia de Camões, autoridade fundamental à sua matéria amorosa.
“Jogando espalharei por toda parte, se em cada lance houver engenho e arte”: leitura lúdica de Os Lusíadas como jogo de tabuleiro
Authors: Thimoteo Saulo Gomes
Published: November 2024

Luís de Camões escreveu Os Lusíadas como epopeia da coletividade lusitana, sintetizada na viagem de Vasco da Gama às Índias. Somando-se a isso, o livro constrói episódios que orbitam áreas diversas, como a esfera mitológica dos deuses latinos, a esfera histórica, relatando os feitos dos reis portugueses e a esfera social, nas falas críticas do Velho do Restelo ou das estrofes finais. Numa estratégia de leitura dinâmica e interativa desse universo, efetuou-se uma adaptação em forma de jogo de tabuleiro, como vínculo evocativo da leitura desse clássico e modo de despertar a curiosidade para novos potenciais leitores.
Camões e Osman Lins: uma aproximação bem maquinada
Authors: Faria Maria Lucia Guimarães de
Published: November 2024

Em Avalovara, de Osman Lins, uma semivelada convergência com Camões se insinua. A protagonista feminina assiste à montagem de um aparato no espaço relacionado ao seu destino. Um adjetivo bem plantado e uma rima trazem a antiga máquina do mundo do poema de Camões para o romance contemporâneo. A envergadura das duas máquinas as aproxima: o artefato osmaniano capta os fastos do mundo e os verte em , que se torna “a foz terrível das coisas”. Os desdobramentos da máquina osmaniana têm notas sinistras, mas a ela se entrelaça um Eros cosmogônico, assim como da máquina camoniana irradia-se o Amor.
Palavras-chave: Camões. Osman Lins. Máquina do mundo. Eros.

Published: November 2024

Se Os Lusíadas é um poema aberto à aritmosofia, estâncias como a 666 são especialmente importantes. Este ensaio se debruça sobre a zona do poema que cerca a estrofe do número da Besta. Esse momento, que narra a chegada à Índia, se relaciona com o diabólico de várias maneiras. Uma delas entende um crescente privilégio da História sobre diferentes narrativas, outra, que algum apocalipse se prepara na viagem de Vasco da Gama. Pensar esse problema abre uma porta, dentro do poema, que dá acesso a muitos lugares.
Osmanlı’nın Son Kudüs Müftüleri
Authors: Telli Hasan
Published: November 2024

İslâm’ın ilk kıblesi olan Mescid-i Aksa’yı bünyesinde barındırması ve Hz. Peygamber’in İsrâ ve Mi‘raç mucizesinin gerçekleştiği yer olması yönüyle Kudüs, İslâm medeniyetinin en mukaddes şehirlerinden birisi sayılmıştır. Yavuz Sultan Selim tarafından 1516 yılında Osmanlı Devleti’ne katılan ve 401 yıl Osmanlı idaresinde kalan Kudüs, 1917 yılında İngilizlerin mandasına geçmiştir. Osmanlı döneminde Kudüs, ilim, kültür, sanat ve medeniyet merkezi olması yönüyle önemini korumuştur. Bu dönemde Kudüs’te multi etnik ve dinî bir yapıdaki halk huzurlu, güvenli, barış dolu, hoşgörülü ve istikrarlı bir hayat yaşamıştır. Kudüs’te Müslümanların dinî liderliğini yürüten, dinî konularda onlara rehberlik ve irşat hizmeti sunan müftüler hakkında yeterince müstakil akademik çalışmaların yapılmaması bizleri bu alanda çalışma yapmaya sevk etmiştir. Bu çalışma Osmanlı son döneminde görev yapan Kudüs müftüleri hakkındadır. Çalışma, Osmanlı’nın son zamanlarında görev yapan ve Meşihat Arşivi’nde belgeleri bulunan Kudüs müftülerinden Muhammed Tahir el-Hüseynî Efendi, Muhammed Tahir Efendi, Şeyh Abdülkadir Efendi, Muhammed Kamil Efendi ve Muhammed Emin Efendi kapsamında ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada söz konusu bu müftülerin, kimlik bilgileri, eğitim süreçleri, icâzetnâmeleri, hizmetleri ve resmi yazışmalarıyla ile ilgili hususlar üzerinde yoğunlaşılmıştır. Çalışma nitel, deskriptif ve dönemsel bir araştırmadır. Çalışmada konuyla ilgili Osmanlı arşiv belgelerinin analizi ve değerlendirilmesine dayalı doküman incelemesi yöntemi esas alınmıştır. Osmanlı son döneminde Kudüs’te biri Hanefî, diğeri Şafiî olmak üzere iki ayrı müftünün aynı anda görev yaptığı, burada devlet tarafından farklı fıkhî mezhep mensuplarının beklentilerinin dikkate alındığı, müftülerin dinî, hayrî ve fetva hizmetlerinin yanısıra Kudüs Meclis-i İdâre-i Livâ’da görev alarak şehrin idaresinde aktif rol oynadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Published: November 2024

Gautama Buddha`s presence in Indian history introduced a rational perspective in a society dominated by dogmatic and illogical beliefs. His practical approach encouraged logical and practical thinking among common people, as seen in the Tripitaka literature, which includes the Sutta, Vinaya, and Abhidhamma Pitika. The suttas, a collection of lectures, dialogues, and analogies by Buddha, document his aim to offer viable solutions to societal dissatisfaction. He recognized the widespread suffering caused by conflicting societal beliefs—monastic life versus materialistic wealth and rituals. The suttas highlight the violence in rituals, such as animal slaughter and flora vandalism, leading to inner conflict. Rather than criticizing these beliefs, Buddha empathetically appealed to people`s rationale. He identified dissatisfaction as the root issue, causing societal dissension. To address this, Buddha adapted his teachings to Pali, the language of the masses, within the democratic Gana Sangha political system. His organization of monks and nuns (Bhikkhus and Bhikkunis) systematically documented and spread his teachings. Buddha`s understanding of decision-making imbalances set a holistic coordinated approach. In the Agañña Sutta, he discusses the contractual origin of the Rashtra, emphasizing decentralized, participatory governance with core values.

one of the most beautiful & interesting centers of later Indian art, Bikaner, is the place where one can see a number of monuments constructed during span of time. Bikaner was established in the year 1488 and was ruled by several rulers to be precise 22 rulers after the demise of Rao Bika, the founder of the state. Maharaja Rai Singh, Gaj Singh, Surat Singh, Ratan Singh, Dungar Singh & Ganga Sing were few other predominant rulers of Bikaner who played a key role in the development of architecture in the state. The rulers of Bikaner constructed Junagarh fort (Maharaja Rai Singh), gaudy temples, palaces such as Lalgarh palace (Maharaja Ganga Singh), chattries or cenotaphs etc. It would not be out of place to mention the fact that it was rich & effluent class of Bikaner who predominantly contributed towards construction of major temples and all the Havelis. Although Bikaner does not have any specialized form of architecture of its own but comprises of Rajput, Muslim, Indo-Islamic combination of architecture and also found are some impacts of regional style such as Gujrati, Bengali, Jain, Buddhist and British style of architecture. For construction purpose the materials mainly used was red stone along with yellow Jaisalmer stone, white marble and for plastering bajri, roda, pieces of stones, sweet lime stone and raw & baked bricks were used. The artists & masons of Bikaner were both Hindu & Muslim, therefore, for ambience we found the impact of both religious architectural features, ornamentation and motifs in major.

Abstract. Ground-based lidar data have proven extremely useful for profiling the convective boundary layer (CBL). Many groups have derived higher-order moments (e.g., variance, skewness, fluxes) from high-temporal-resolution lidar data using an autocovariance approach. However, these analyses are highly uncertain near the CBL top when the depth of the CBL (zi) is changing during the analysis period. This is because the autocovariance approach is usually applied to constant height levels and the character of the eddies is changing on either side of the changing CBL top. Here, a new approach is presented wherein the autocovariance analysis is performed on a normalized height grid, with a temporally smoothed zi. Output from a large eddy simulation model demonstrates that deriving higher-order moments from time series on a normalized height grid has better agreement with the slab-averaged quantities than the moments derived from the original height grid.

Abstract. Inland saline lakes play a key role in the global carbon cycle, acting as dynamic zones for atmospheric carbon exchange and storage. Given the global decline of saline lakes and the expected increase of periods of drought in a climate change scenario, changes in their potential capacity to uptake or emit atmospheric carbon are expected. Here, we conducted continuous measurements of CO2 and CH4 fluxes at the ecosystem scale in an endorheic saline lake of the Mediterranean region over nearly 2 years. Our focus was on determining net CO2 and CH4 exchanges with the atmosphere under both dry and flooded conditions, using the eddy covariance (EC) method. We coupled greenhouse gas flux measurements with water storage and analysed meteorological variables like air temperature and radiation, known to influence carbon fluxes in lakes. This extensive data integration enabled the projection of the net carbon flux over time, accounting for both dry and wet conditions on an interannual scale. We found that the system acts as a substantial carbon sink by absorbing atmospheric CO2 under wet conditions. In years with prolonged water storage, it is predicted that the lake's CO2 assimilation capacity can surpass 0.7 kg C m2 annually. Conversely, during extended drought years, a reduction in CO2 uptake capacity of more than 80 % is expected. Regarding CH4, we measured uptake rates that exceeded those of well-aerated soils such as forest soils or grasslands, reaching values of 0.2 µmol m−2 s−1. Additionally, we observed that CH4 uptake during dry conditions was nearly double that of wet conditions. However, the absence of continuous data prevented us from correlating CH4 uptake processes with potential environmental predictors. Our study challenges the widespread notion that wetlands are universally greenhouse gas emitters, highlighting the significant role that endorheic saline lakes can play as a natural sink of atmospheric carbon. However, our work also underscores the vulnerability of these ecosystem services in the current climate change scenario, where drought episodes are expected to become more frequent and intense in the coming years.

Abstract. Climatic and environmental changes during past interglacial periods can be investigated to improve our understanding of mechanisms governing the changes which are currently observed. Numerous proxies might be utilised to reconstruct various environmental parameters. For instance, pollen analysis indicates changes in vegetation as well as winter temperature fluctuations, while Chironomidae larvae head capsules are widely used to recreate summer thermal conditions. Non-biting midges remains indicate trophy and pH of water bodies as well. Nevertheless, they have been used mostly in the studies of the Holocene with hardly any Chironomid-inferred temperature reconstructions conducted for MIS 11 period. In this study we present the first quantitative summer temperature reconstruction for the post-Holsteinian (Marine Isotope Stage – MIS 11b) in Central Europe based on the analysis of fossil chironomid remains preserved in palaeolake sediments recovered at Krępa, southeastern Poland. The stratigraphic context for the chironomid-based summer temperature reconstruction is provided by pollen data, together allowing to compare our results in the context of climate development at the end of the Holsteinian Interglacial. Chironomidae assemblages at the Krępa site consist mainly of oligotrophic and mesotrophic species (e.g Corynocera ambigua-type, Chironomus anthracinus-type) with lower abundance of eutrophic species (e.g. Chironomus plumosus-type). The chironomid-based summer temperature reconstruction indicates July temperature ranging between 15,3 ॰C and 20,1 ॰C during the early post-Holsteinian. Temperature changes during the first stadial after the Holstein Interglacial period are also reflected by the pollen data, which, however, show a certain delay compared to the chironomids. In any case, results from Krępa prove that conducting Chironomidae analysis is even feasible for periods as early as the mid-Pleistocene, enhancing our understanding of the mechanisms that control present-day climatic and environmental changes. The additional element of this research is indicating sites within the Polish borders that were investigated so far – mostly on the basis of pollen analysis, occasionally Cladocera, isotopes, etc. – and might be new objects of studies based on Chironomid-inferred temperature reconstructions. However, bringing Chironomid analysis with particular emphasis of challenges of conducting it with the use of sediments older than Holocene is the primary aim of this publication. Data from the MIS 11 complex are unique. There are only 4 sites with pre-Late Glacial chironomid-based summer temperature reconstructions in Europe.

Abstract. Water vapor in the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere (UTLS) plays a crucial role in climate feedback by influencing radiation, chemistry, and atmospheric dynamics. The amount of water vapor entering the stratosphere is sensitive to cold point temperatures (CPT), making Northern Hemisphere summer monsoons more favorable for transporting water vapor into the stratosphere. This study uses a Lagrangian method to reconstruct water vapor over the Asian (ASM) and North American (NAM) monsoons, investigating their contributions to stratospheric water vapor. The Lagrangian method tracks air parcels and identifies the coldest temperature along each trajectory, contrasting with local methods that rely on vertical temperature profiles. The reconstructed water vapor fields are validated against satellite observations from SAGE III/ISS and NASA’s Aura MLS. SAGE III/ISS shows stronger moisture enhancements than MLS, but both datasets reveal similar water vapor anomalies within the ASM and NAM anticyclones. Although the Lagrangian method is dry-biased compared to observations, it effectively reconstructs UTLS water vapor (correlation coefficient 0.75), capturing moist anomalies in the ASM but performing less well in the NAM. Our analysis shows that, large-scale cold point tropopause temperatures in the vicinity of the monsoons primarily drive the moisture anomalies, with NAM water vapor significantly influenced by long-range transport from South Asia. Some convection-related processes, such as east-west shifts within the ASM, are not fully captured due to unresolved temperature variability in ERA5 and missing ice microphysics. Despite biases and computational challenges, the Lagrangian method provides valuable insights into UTLS water vapor transport.

Abstract. The Chuan-Dian region is located in the southeastern part of the geologically complex and seismically active Tibetan Plateau. Since 2008, the Chuan-Dian region has experienced several major earthquakes, including the Wenchuan MS 8.0, Lushan MS 7.0, and Jiuzhaigou MS7.0, making it one of the areas with the most severe earthquake disasters. The China Seismic Experimental Site (CSES) under construction in this area will deepen the understanding of the preparation and generation of earthquakes and the disaster mechanisms, which can further enhance the defense capability against earthquake risks. To build a world-class seismic experimental field, it is necessary to establish high-precision medium structure models. Currently, several institutions have established high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) velocity models in the CSES, but there is still a lack of high-resolution 3D attenuation (∝1/Q) structure models. Using the local seismic tomography method, we obtain the highest resolution 3D Qp model in the CSES to date. Combining the existing velocity models in the CSES with other geophysical and geochemical observations by predecessors, this study find that the Qp value anomalies along large fault zones and some basin areas are low, reflecting the high degree of medium fragmentation in these areas, with thick sedimentary layers or rich in fluids. The high attenuation anomaly of the upper crust dipping westward in the Tengchong volcanic characterizes the possible upward flow of deep-seated magma from west to east. This study also find that most of earthquakes above magnitude 6 occurred in low attenuation zones or the boundary areas of high-low attenuation anomalies. The source areas of the 2008 Wenchuan MS 8.0 earthquake and the 2013 Lushan MS 7.0 earthquake were separated by a low attenuation area, and there is still a risk of major earthquakes in the future. The 3D attenuation model constructed in this study will provide a high-resolution reference model for seismological and earthquake disaster research in the CSES.
