“How Can I Trust You When I Know You Can Die?” Surviving the Death of an Analyst in a Child Analysis
Authors: Stojnić Aneta
Published: March 2024

This reflection on the initial stages of treatment of a latency girl whose previous analyst died offers some insights into inner workings of mourning in children. The mourning process intersects in complex ways with a developmental stage, object constancy, unconscious phantasies, and conscious ideas about life and death. Clinical material illustrates some challenges that emerge in the transference-countertransference matrix when working with a child who lost both her primary object (the mother) and her transference object (the analyst). The reality of the analyst's death emphasizes that for a child patient the analyst is always a transference object and a real object at once.
Protein politics
Authors: Adjemian Maro , Janes Heidi , Martin Sarah J. , Mather Charles , White Madelyn J.
Published: March 2024

Powerful actors associated with intensive livestock production are repositioning industrially produced meat and farmed fish as “sustainable protein.” This repositioning, we show, involves justifying the production of meat through a range of metrics, calculations, and valuations. These metrics and associated indicators underpin claims that sustainable protein is more efficient and less wasteful than conventional meat production. Our analysis questions the relationship between efficiency and sustainability in industrial meat production. We show, first, that the industrial meat sector has always focussed on efficiency and the reduction of waste. What is new is that metrics, calculations, and indicators on efficiency and waste reduction are being repurposed and made public to consumers and investors to underpin claims for sustainable and “climate friendly” meat. While this practice is apparent across the animal agriculture sector, it is especially evident in the production of farmed salmon. Our second argument frames sustainable protein metrics as a political logic. While these metrics have been justifiably criticized as a form of environmental “greenwashing” by environmental non-governmental organizations and others, our own critique builds on Cara Daggett’s recent analysis of energy and its political logic. Building on Daggett’s work, we aim to provide a more fundamental critique to the efficiency and waste metrics that are used to support claims for sustainable protein, while simultaneously providing the conceptual and political foundation for more progressive futures.

Authors: Clement Sarah , Kozicky Sara , Hamilton Cassandra , Murphy Rachel
Published: March 2024

Objective: The objective of this community-based participatory action research (CBPAR) project was to gain an in-depth understanding of the needs, interest and opportunities that exist within a post-secondary institution with respect to supporting food security among students via a food hub. 
Methods: The project was undertaken on the campus of the University of British Columbia-Vancouver. The CBPAR approach included 4 phases: 1) information gathering, 2) relationship development, 3) implementation of the community engagement strategy, and 4) shareback of findings to the community.   
Results: Phase 1 identified key components that formed the research process including campus partners for relationship development (phase 2) and subsequent engagement through their networks (phase 3).
Phase 3 included engagement of 62, 111, 156, and 154 students, who participated in facilitated dialogues, community meals, a survey and targeted survey, respectively. Food insecurity related experiences were prevalent, with 37% to 75% indicating they worried about running out of food in the last year. Over 90% of all survey respondents affirmed that they would access a community food hub (CFH). Preferences for the CFH were inclusion of emergency food access, community meals, and financial support and planning, while prioritizing foods that meet cultural needs, and a low cost grocery store within the CFH.
Conclusion: There is a demonstrated need and desire among students for innovative approaches to support food security at a post-secondary institution. The process outlined may serve as a road map for other communities who are seeking to move beyond emergency food relief.

Ecological problems of technogenically disturbed lands on the Absheron Peninsula
Authors: Hajiyeva Gulnar N. , Ibrahimova Leyla P.
Published: March 2024

The study area occupies an important place in our republic’s economic, political, and agricultural development. It is very important to properly use the land of an area with such an advantageous position. In addition to rich deposits of oil, gas, and gas condensate, the Absheron Peninsula has widespread mineral deposits (limestone, gypsum, crushed stone, bentonite, sand, etc.). Currently, the accumulation of waste in the territory of quarries and dumps after the extraction of non-metallic minerals on a large scale has led to the formation of technogenically disturbed areas. On the territory of the quarries themselves and adjacent lands, well-developed soils are widespread (irrigated ordinary gray soils with different granulometric composition and thickness, semi-desert gray-brown soils). During the extraction of deposits, as a result of the use of multiton machines and mechanisms, these lands were subjected to varying degrees of technogenic degradation, lost their fertility, and have not yet been studied either genetically or economically. Therefore, when writing this article, the main goal was a large-scale study of these lands and the development of recommendations for their restoration. Various scientists have conducted research on the geochronology of the formation of the soil and vegetation cover of the Absheron Peninsula, the degree of exposure to technogenic impacts, the development of a typological classification, mapping and modeling them to a fertile state in order to evaluate them in terms of biological productivity. However, it has not been possible to fully study the land and use it in different economic sectors. For this reason, an important topic of our time is touched upon in the presented article and is chosen again due to its relevance. As an object of study, the soil and vegetation cover of the territory where organic and non-metallic resources of the peninsula were mined, as well as lands that remained outside the scope of large-scale research, spread over the deformed areas of the Absheron Peninsula, were chosen. In order to give the research a greater scientific-theoretical and scientific-practical orientation, we laid soil-vegetation sections, described natural vegetation, and took sam- ples for laboratory analysis from reference places in the study area,. According to the analysis in the studied soils, it can be said that the amount of dry residue, which is considered the main indicator of the degree of salinity, ranges from 0.172-2.312% in the upper reaches of the accumulative-humus layers, which indicates that a small part of these soils has a predominantly weak medium, strong and very strong salinity.

Authors: Syetov Y. A. , Moiseyenko V. M.
Published: March 2024

Vibronic structure of the absorption band of 2,5-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)hydroquinone is calculated for the transitions to the first excited state using the Franck-Condon approximation and harmonic model for vibrations. 2,5-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)hydroquinone is an organic compound that undergoes the excited state intramolecular proton transfer. It is found that the use of normal modes and values of energy of the electronic states calculated with the ωB97X-D3 density functional provides good agreement with the experimental spectrum, overestimating energy of the 0-0 transition by 0.13 eV. The largest intensity of vibronic transitions is demonstrated by deformation vibrations changing the distance between the oxygen and nitrogen atoms of the hydrogen bonds, a deformation vibration of the oxazole rings, deformation and stretching vibrations of the hydroquinone moiety.

Authors: Kovalenko O.V. , Vorovsky V. Yu. , Slavnyi V. V.
Published: March 2024

In this work, the effect of hydrogen heat treatment of ZnO:Mn nanocrystal samples obtained by ultrasonic aerosol pyrolysis on their physical and sensory properties is investigated. It is found that hydrogen heat treatment leads to the appearance of an absorption line of abnormal intensity in the EPR spectrum of ZnO:Mn nanocrystals, indicating the presence of a large number of defects. The possibility of improving the gas sensitivity of ZnO:Mn nanocrystals by thermal treatment with hydrogen is demonstrated. This method of modifying the surface of nanocrystals also allows significantly reducing the operating temperature of gas sensors.

Authors: Drobakhin O. O. , Filins’kyy L. A.
Published: March 2024

Reflectivity and dielectric permeativity of liquid foam structures with an initial foaming ratio of 55 units in the form of flat-layered foam samples with fixed thicknesses of 40 and 80 mm are under measurement. A multi-frequency technique for studying the foam samples is used. The measuring and computing complex operates in the microwave range from 38 to 52 GHz. It is shown that the foam structure reduces the reflection of electromagnetic waves from metal surfaces significantly. The obtained value of the dielectric permeativity of the foam samples is in the range from 1.08 to 1.26. The results are useful for studying the reflection characteristics offoams and help to determine their dielectric permeativity.

Prioritized Retrial Queueing Systems with Randomized Push-Out Mechanism
Authors: Zayats Oleg , Korenevskaya Mariia , Ilyashenko Alexander , Muliukha Vladimir
Published: March 2024

The article is focused on a single-channel preemptive queuing system. Two stationary Poisson flows of customers are incoming to the system. The first flow has an absolute priority over the second one: a new high-priority customer from the first flow displaces a low-priority one from the service channel and takes its place. The capacity of the system is limited to k customers. There is a probabilistic push-out mechanism in the system: if a new high-priority customer finds that all the places in the queue are occupied, then it has the right to displace one low-priority customer from the queue with probability a. Both types of customers have the same exponentially distributed service times. Customers who failed to enter the system due to the limited size of the queue, as well as those expelled from the queue or service channel when the push-out mechanism is triggered, are not lost immediately, but they are sent to a special part of the system called the orbit and designed to store repeated customers. In orbit, there are two separate unlimited queues, consisting of low-priority and high-priority repeated customers, respectively. If there are no free places in the system, new customers with a probability q are added to the corresponding orbital queue. The waiting time of repeated customers in orbit is distributed according to an exponential law. The parameter of this law may differ for different types of customers. After waiting in orbit, secondary customers try to re-enter the system. The probabilistic characteristics of the described queuing system are calculated by the method of generating functions, previously proposed by the authors for calculating a similar system without repeated customers. This method allows finding the main probabilistic characteristics of distributions for both types of customers. Particular attention is paid to the study of the dependence of the loss probabilities for both types of customers on the parameters of the system, primarily on the push-out probability a, the capacity of the system k, and the probability of repeated circulation (probability of persistence) q. It is shown that the effect of blocking the system and the effect of the linear law of customers’ losses, previously identified in similar problems without repeated customers, remain valid even in the presence of secondary repeated customers. The theoretical results are proved by numerical calculations. The blocking area for the second type of customers was calculated along with the area of linear loss law for both types of customers. We studied the influence of the probability of repeated circulation q on the shape of these areas and on the dependence of the loss probabilities for both types of customers on the push-out probability a.
Ridge preservation combined with open barrier membrane technique in case of post–extractive oro-antral communication: a case series retrospective study.
Authors: Scavia S. , Audino E. , Salgarello S.
Published: March 2024

After dental extraction a physiological phenomenon of reabsorption of the dentoalveolar process is triggered, especially if periradicular lesions are present, which can sometimes be associated with oro-antral communication in the upper posterior maxilla. With the aim of proposing a minimally invasive approach, 19 patients undergoing tooth extraction in the postero-superior maxilla were recruited. All cases presented an oroantral communication with a diameter of 2-5 mm after tooth extraction and the alveolar process, in some cases, with a partial defect of one or more bony walls. In these cases, a single surgical procedure was used to preserve the alveolar ridge with an open barrier technique with exposed d-PTFE membrane. The bottom of the extraction socket was filled with a collagen fleece and the residual bone process reconstructed using a bio-material based on carbonate-apatite derived from porcine cancellous bone. After 6 months all patients were recalled and subjected to radiographic control associated to an implant-prosthetic rehabilitation plan. Data relating to the sinus health status and the average height and thickness of the regenerated bone were collected. Radiographic evaluation verified the integrity of the maxillary sinus floor with new bone formation, detecting a vertical bone dimension between 3.1mm and 7.4mm (average 5.13mm ± 1.15) and a horizontal thickness between 4.2mm and 9.6mm (average 6.86mm ± 1.55). The goal of this study was to highlight the advantage of managing an oro-antral communication and, at the same time, to obtain the preservation and regeneration of the alveolar bone crest. The open barrier technique appears to be effective for the minimally invasive management of the oro-antral communication up to 5mm in diameter in post-extraction sites, with a good regeneration of hard and soft tissue.
A new ridge type estimator and its performance for the linear regression model: Simulation and application
Authors: Chand Sohail , Kibria B M Golam
Published: March 2024

Ridge regression is employed to address the issue of multicollinearity among independent variables. The shrinkage parameter (k) plays a key role in balancing the bias and variance tradeoff. This paper reviewed several promising existing ride regression estimators designed for estimating the ridge or shrinkage parameter k within the Gaussian linear regression model. In addition, we have proposed a new estimator (CK), which is a function of number of independent variables, sample size and standard error of regression model. The performance of our proposed estimator with OLS and existing shrinkage estimators, is compared using extensive Monte Carlo simulations in terms of minimum mean squared error (MSE). Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed CK estimator outperformed other in the majority of the considered simulation scenarios. A real-life data is analyzed to illustrate the findings of the paper.
Current state of research on the viscosity of molten fluorides
Authors:   Institute of High Temperature Electrochemistry of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Tkacheva Olga Yu.
Published: March 2024

The development of new high-precision equipment for the experimental study of the physical-chemical properties of molten salts has led to the emergence of new data. This review examines recent experimental results on the viscosity of molten salt mixtures based on alkali fluorides, which are currently used in modern technologies for the production of metals and alloys and are also promising media for application in molten salt nuclear reactors. Various approaches to the analysis of experimental data are discussed. A different mechanism of viscous flow in the series LiF – NaF – KF and KF – RbF – CsF is well explained from the position of the theory of the autocomplex structure of molten salts. An anomalous decrease in the viscosity of fluorides from lithium to cesium, in comparison with other alkali metal halides, the viscosity of which increases with increasing the cation radius, is confirmed by calculations of the formation energy of the autocomplex and the binding energy between the complex-forming ion and the free ion of the second coordination sphere. To study the mechanism of liquid flow, the temperature dependence of dynamic viscosity is analyzed using the fluidity parameter. Additional information regarding the mechanism of viscous flow can be obtained from the relationship between the viscosity and electrical conductivity of melts. It was assumed that the most promising approach to studying the kinematic properties and the structure of molten salts is the use of both high-precision experiment and mathematical modeling based on first principles.

Justification is provided of significant practical relevance of the issue of corrosion and erosion resistance of refractory materials in furnaces with direct electric heating that are used for vitrification of high-level waste. Main promising materials are listed, and an algorithm is given for assessing their resistance to attack of borosilicate glass melts under operating conditions of electric furnaces. Corrosion testing of chrome refractory materials of joint Chinese and Belgian origin has been carried out under static and dynamic conditions in a low-melting borosilicate glass melt and in a borosilicate glass melt containing simulated liquid high-level waste (HLW). A search has been conducted among chrome refractory materials of Chinese and Belgian origin for ones demonstrating the highest glass melt attack resistance with regard to the conditions of HLW solidification. The results of these tests will be considered in the design of removable and small-scale melters when selecting the material for melter lining.
Orthodox Estonians in St Petersburg Province: The Fate of the Diaspora in an Autochthonous Environment
Authors: Kostromin Konstantin
Published: March 2024

During the pre-revolutionary decades, the Estonian diaspora was one of the most active in St Petersburg, however, it remains little-studied to this day. An intensive study of the history of Estonian churches in St Petersburg province and the Estonian deanery of the St Petersburg diocese make it possible to raise the question of an organised Orthodox Estonian diaspora that did not merge with the Lutheran one. This article formulates the reasons for introducing this phenomenon into scholarly circulation and characterises its distinctive features. The author refers to documents from the Central State Historical Archive of St Petersburg (primarily, reports from the dean of Estonian district), as well as articles and materials from the first All-Russian population census. The active development of the issue studied by some historians in recent years speaks of its relevance. The article provides an overview of the historical situation, identifies the problems that characterised the life of Estonian migrants in St Petersburg and the province, and describes the contribution to the solution of the problem by Archpriest Pavel Kuhlbusch, senior priest of the Estonian church in the capital and dean of the Estonian parishes of the diocese. Additionally, the author carries out a detailed analysis of the theological aspect of the diaspora’s existence and missionary and educational work inside it. The threat of nationalism caused by the language barrier with the locals, the linguistic community with a Lutheran majority, and the incomprehensibility of the Church Slavonic language for foreigners was the breeding ground of the Estonian diaspora as a whole and led the Orthodox Estonian diaspora to a crisis at the time of the collapse of the Russian Empire. The atheism of Bolshevik ideology finally terminated its life in the 1930s. However, the panhellenism of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, which replaced the multiculturalism of the Russian Empire, also failed to contribute to the development of Orthodoxy among Estonians. The efforts Pavel Kuhlbusch made for many years led to an increase in the number of Orthodox Estonians, whose literacy and enlightenment also increased significantly, but his departure to Estonia for episcopal service and death in 1919 had a disastrous effect on the future fate of the Estonian Orthodox diaspora.

Sosyal ve Mistik Bir Dinî Hareket Olarak Mazdekizm
Authors: Meçin Mehmet Mekin
Published: March 2024

Bu çalışmanın konusu Mazdek dini hareketinin ortaya çıkış sebepleri, Mazdek’in öğretileri ve bu hareketin hızla ortadan kaldırılmasının nedenlerini incelemektir. Konu Mazdek hakkında bilgiler veren İslam Tarihçileri ve bu tarihsel veriler ışığında araştırmalarını derinletirmiş müsteşriklerin eserlerinden istifade ederek hazırlanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı günümüze kadar yeterince anlaşılmamış ya da yanlış anlaşılmış Mazdek ve öğretilerini tarafsız olarak ele almak ve bu dinî hareketin ortaya çıkış ve yok oluş sebeplerini arka planıyla birlikte ele alarak özgün bir araştırma ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma sırasında, Mazdek’in insanlara zühdü, tavsiye eden, metafizik âleme ve Allah'a inanan, ahlakı ve fazileti vaaz eden, et yemeyi bile doğru görmeyen bir zat olduğu ve rivayetlerden anlaşıldığı kadarıyla tasavvufi bir hayat veya nebevi bir çizgi izlediği anlaşılmıştır. Çalışmada Mazdek’in dünya hâkimiyetini ele almada Mani kadar karamsar ve kötümser olmadığı ve bu bakış açısının bir sonucu olarak bozulduğuna inandığı dine yeni bir yorum getirerek eşitlik sloganıyla bir isyan başlattığı ancak çileciliğe, arınmaya ve sosyal hiyerarşiye karşı katı tavrı, İran'ın kadim iktidar ruhuna yabancı geldiği ve bu yüzden İran’ın dünyayı terk etmeyi öneren bu tür mistik düşüncelerin hâkim olmasına izin vermediği tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, Mazdek’in Mani’ye yakın bir dinî izlek üzere olduğu, adalet ve eşitlik sloganlarıyla toplumun yoksul tabakasını yanına çekmeyi başardığı ancak riyazete ve zühde dayalı öğretilerinin dünya hâkimiyetine aday olan kadim İran din-devlet geleneğine ters düştüğü için ivedilikle ortadan kaldırıldığı anlaşılmıştır. Yine bu çalışmadan, Mazdek’in sanıldığı gibi kadın ve mal ortaklığı savunan bir komünist olmadığı, fazla mala sahip ve çok kadınla evli seçkin sınıfa karşı yoksul insanlar adına bir adalet ve eşitlik davetçisi olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Authors: Üstün Kağan , Irmak Sapmaz Hilal , Şimşek Sadık Buğrahan
Published: March 2024

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the acute effect of kinesio taping applied to athletes and sedentary individuals on vertical and horizontal jumping performances.
Methods: The study included 20 licensed male basketball players and 20 male sedentary individuals between the ages of 18-25. Vertical jump height and horizontal jump distance were evaluated.
Free jumping and squat jumping tests were applied to measure the vertical jump height. Single leg hop test was chosen for the measurement of horizontal jump distance. Single leg hop test was performed with the dominant foot. Tests after kinesio taping were performed 10 minutes after facilitation technique was applied to gastrocnemius muscle.
Results: A comparison of the pre- and post-taping data in the athlete group revealed a significant increase in both squat jump and single leg hop tests (p<0.05). In the sedentary group, there was a significant increase only in the single leg hop test compared to before taping (p<0.05). All pretest and posttest values of the athlete group were higher than the sedentary group (p>0.05). In terms of the performance increases after kinesio taping, the increases in the athlete group were higher for all tests compared to the sedentary group (p>0.05).
Conclusions: Our study revealed that kinesio taping can improve jumping performance in both athletes and sedentary individuals. We think that kinesio taping could improve the performance especially in sports where jumping movements are frequently used such as basketball.

Authors: Pala Erdal , Atasoy Mustafa
Published: March 2024

Background/aims: Vitiligo is a severe skin disease that significantly affects individuals’ quality of life due to striking color changes in external appearance, and one that causes the majority of patients to feel stigmatized. This study was conducted to determine the effects of vitiligo on patients’ psychological and social lives and to elucidate how they perceive the disease.
Methods: The research was conducted as an epidemiological study. The Dermatological Life Quality Index (DLQI) was applied to patients with vitiligo presenting to our clinic and to a control group.
Results: Fifty patients with vitiligo and 50 healthy individuals were enrolled. The vitiligo group consisted of 26 (52%) women and 24 (48%) men, and the healthy control group of 24 (48%) women and 26 (52%) men. The patients’ mean age was 37.2 ± 13.1 years, and that of the healthy controls 34.7 ± 9.2 years. (p=0.2). No significant age or sex differences were observed between the patient and control groups (p=0.2 and p<0.05, respectively). The mean duration of the disease was 83.9 ± 72.9 months. The most common vitiligo subtype was focal vitiligo, at 52%. The vitiligo and control groups’ mean DLQI scores were 5.5 ± 5.0 and 1.4 ± 1.3, respectively, the difference being statistically significant (p<0.05)
Conclusion: The findings of this study show that the quality of life of the patients with vitiligo was significantly impaired compared to the control group.
The Delos Mutation: Interdisciplinary Entanglements between Biology and Architecture 1963 – 1975

Authors: Halland Ingrid
Published: March 2024

This article traces the interdisciplinary entanglement between biology and architecture at The Delos Symposion, a series of annual week-long architecture and urbanism symposia convened by architect and planner Constantinos Doxiadis (1913–1975), ten of which took place on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean Sea between 1963 and 1972. These Delos symposia stand out as a pioneering interdisciplinary initiative and a unique think-tank for future-oriented developments in both architectural theory and biology, united by a common interest in cybernetics. Biologist Conrad Hal Waddington (1905–1975), who attended all ten Delos gatherings, was a forerunner of such new developments in biology; at Delos he discussed how his ground-breaking theory of epigenetics would change how designers would build, plan, and conceptualize buildings and cities. 
This article is a critical study of how Waddington’s epigenetic theory mutated into architecture and urban theory. First, I discuss Doxiadis’ holistic urban theory of ekistics in relation to Waddington’s epigenetic theory by focusing on the notion of open-endedness in the two theories. The article then argues that the discussions on planning and design at Delos affected Waddington’s thinking, changing a structural belief in planning into a post-structural disbelief in certitude. The interdisciplinary Delos discussions about planning and architecture triggered the scientist to turn toward aesthetics and ethical epistemology as a response to an uncertain future — a transmutation that impelled ethical and epistemological developments that still resonate in critical discourses in the humanities.

DOI:10.17014/ijog.v1i3.198To anticipate the increasing energy demand, additional data and information covering unconventional fossil fuels such as oil shale must be acquired to promote the usage of alternative energy sources to crude oil. The Talawi and Lubuktaruk regions situated within intra-montane Ombilin Basin, and the Kiliranjao assumed to be a small intra montane basin are occupied by Eo-Oligocene sediments of Sangkarewang and Kiliran Formations, respectively. Field activity, geochemical screening techniques, and organic petrographic analysis, supported by SEM mode, are methods used. Most of the oil shale sequence is typically of an organically rich-succession comprising predominantly well-bedded, laminated and fissile, brownish to dark grey organic-rich shale and mudstone rocks. The exinite macerals within oil shale comprise mainly Pediastrum-lamalginite with minor cutinite, resinite, liptodetrinite, sporinite, bituminite, and rare Botryococcus-telalginite. Therefore; the oil shale deposits can be described as “lamosites”. Minor vitrinite maceral is also recognized. TOC analysis on selected shale samples corresponds to a fair up to excellent category of source rock characterization. The hydrogen index (HI) for all samples shows a range of values from 207 - 864, and pyrolysis yield (PY) ranges from 2.67 to 79.72 mg HC/g rock. The kerogen is suggested to be of mixed Type II and Type I autochthonous materials such as alginite, with minor allochthonous substances. Oil samples collected appear to be positioned within more oil prone rather than gas prone. Thermal maturity of the oil shales gained from Tmax value and production index (PI) tends to show immature to marginally/early mature stage. A consistency in the thermal maturity level results by using both Tmax and vitrinite reflectance value is recognized. On the basis of  SEM analysis, the oil shale has undergone a late eodiagenetic process. Thereby, overall, vitrinite reflectance agreeing with Tmax rates, are also consistent with the PI (production index) values and SEM result. By evaluating all the results of geochemical and organic petrological analyses conducted on shale lithologies (shale and mudstone), it can be concluded that the oil shales in those areas have a favourable potential for generation of shale oil or gas to be included as alternative energy resources in the future.
Baseflow Separation of the Bribin River Upstream in Gilap Cave Flowage, Sewu Mountain Karst, Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta
Authors: Adji T. N.
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v6i3.124Baseflow of karst underground river is a dependable flow to recharge the underground flow within dry seasons. This research was conducted in Gilap Cave, located in the upper course of Bribin River. This location has a premeditated point for sustainable karst water along the Bribin River. The main objective of this study was to separate the components of Gilap underground river flow, with the intention on defining the proportion of baseflow component during the period of measurements. A water level data logger was installed during the period between 1 May 2006 and 31 March 2007 to determine the variation of water level during the dry season, rainy season, and when the prevalence of flood events. Subsequently, several times of discharge measurements at the time of high, medium, and low water level were carried out to define stage-discharge rating curve. Then, baseflow separation was conducted using automated baseflow separation by a digital filtering method. A digital filter value was obtained from a constant recession analysis of flood events all over the year, correlated with Maximum Baseflow Indices Value (BFImax) within karst aquifers. The result shows that during one year, 41 flood events occured in the Gilap Cave with digital filtering value of 0.996. In addition, the calculation of baseflow percentage performs that the overall value of the ratio is close to a number of around 80%. Meanwhile, the percentages within flood events vary between the range of 45-75%. From these figures, it generally confirms that flow from small fracture is still dominant to recharge dependable flow within the upper stream of Bribin River, especially in the dry season.
Morphostructure Control Towards the Development of Mahawu Volcanic Complex, North Sulawesi
Authors: Poedjoprajitno S.
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v7i1.134The studied area, situated in northeastern part of North Sulawesi Arm, is dominantly occupied by the Mahawu, Linau, Tompusu, and Kasurutan volcanic rocks. Using remote sensing data, such as landsat image, black and white panchromatic aerial photograph, and IFSAR image, morphology-origin unit and morphology lineament can be interpreted. Four morphology-origin units, those are Mahawu Volcano Complex, Intra-montane Plain structure, Linau Volcano Complex, and Lacustrine Plain are recognized. Furthermore, morphological lineament pattern was statistically processed to find out the general stress direction in the area to determine the probability of the structural morphology occurrence in the Mahawu Volcano Complex. The result shows that generally the development pattern of volcanic cones are irregular, except the Mahawu Volcano Complex showing a linear pattern. This lineament pattern is interpreted as a NW - SE fault pattern controlling the rise of magma. At least, two tectonic and two eruption periods occurred regularly at different time from the Quaternary age till the present.
Tsunami Characteristics along The Coast of Biak Island based on the 1996 Biak Tsunami Traces
Authors: Yudhicara Yudhicara
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v7i1.135Identification on tsunami traces had been conducted along the coast of Biak Island, Papua, to recognize the character of tsunami potential in this region, referring to the 1996 tsunami event. This study is to observe the influence of tsunami to the environment and tsunami character itself which can be learned from tsunami deposit. According to the 1996 Biak tsunami run up distributions, it can be observed that the maximum tsunami run up was found at the coast which has an undulating to steep morphology rather than other places which has a relatively flat one. The 1996 Biak Tsunami arrival times were approximately between 10 and 15 minutes, such as at the northern and southern coasts of Biak, except for the western one which is about 1 to 5 minutes. This was influenced by the local bathymetry and another possible source triggering tsunami such as a local submarine landslide. The number of tsunami waves were between 2 and 4, and the second one was usually the highest. Based on a sedimentological analysis, the 1996 tsunami deposit is characterized by the dominant coarse sand, while grain size distribution curve shows a character of transportation process similar to an ordinary beach process dominated by saltation current. The foraminifera fossil content tends to indicate that the tsunami deposit was derived from > 200 m seafloor depth (bathyal zone).
Limestone Diagenetic Records Based on Petrographic Data of Sentolo Formation at Hargorejo Traverse, Kokap, Kulonprogo
Authors: Maryanto Sigit
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v7i2.138Limestone diagenetic records of Sentolo Formation have been studied in order to trace the history of the geological processes after the deposition of the rocks. A stratigraphic measure traverse was made in Hargorejo Village, Kulonprogo District, to identify the petrological characteristics of the Sentolo Formation. Limestone samples were taken along this traverse, and were used for a petrographic analysis. The analysis of thirtyeight limestone samples shows that the type is dominated by bioclastic grainstones which have been affected by various kinds of diagenetic processes after the deposition. The diagenetic processes recorded under the polarization microscope include cementation, replacement, bioturbation, micritization, recrystallization, dolomitization, compaction, fracturing, and leaching.
Diagenetic Pattern in the Citarate Carbonate Rocks, Cilograng Area, Lebak Regency, Banten Province
Authors: Basuki N. I. , Wiyoga S. A.
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v7i3.142The carbonate sequence overlies conformably the tuffaceous sandstone unit, and in turn is conformably underlain by the tuff-sandstone unit, both of which are members of the Citarate Formation. The Citarate carbonate rocks were deposited in an open platform back reef environment, which was temporarily drowned by local sea level rise. Regional Middle Miocene deformation formed NNE-WSW trend faults and E-W trend folds in the researched area. This paper discusses the nature of diagenetic alteration of the Citarate carbonate rocks based on petrographic analyses of twenty surface samples. Carbonate rocks from bottom to top comprise algae packstone, packstone-grainstone, coral-algae packstone, and foraminifer wackestone-packstone. Fragments of coral, coralline red algae, and large foraminifera are the dominant bioclasts in most of the observed samples, whereas echinoids and bivalves are less abundant; they are set in a recrystallized micrite matrix. Planktonic foraminifera are abundant only in few samples. Fragments of plagioclase, igneous volcanic rocks, pyroclastic rocks (tuff), and much less abundant quartz are commonly present in all the studied samples. A generalized diagenesis includes early marine cementation by fibrous aragonite, compaction, aragonite dissolution and/or neomorphism, precipitation of equant-grained calcite cement in a phreatic environment, dissolution to form moldic porosities, dolomitization, the formation of stylolites and fractures, and precipitation of late ferroan calcite during burial. Multiple carbonate cements occur as pore-filling phases, with ferroan calcite cementation taking place during later-stage burial. Secondary porosities were formed during different stages in diagenetic processes, such as dissolution, dolomitization, and stylolite and fracture formations. Although precipitation of nonferroan and ferroan calcite cement occluded porosities, porosity enhancement during early selective dolomitization might still be significant. Current observations also revealed the presence of intraparticle, micro-vuggy, and fracture porosities in different samples.
