Published: November 2024

Aims

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has become the most common type of shoulder arthroplasty used in the UK, and a better understanding of the outcomes after revision of a failed RSA is needed. The aim of this study was to review the current evidence systematically to determine patient-reported outcome measures and the rates of re-revision and complications for patients undergoing revision of a RSA.

Methods

MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched. Studies involving adult patients who underwent revision of a primary RSA for any indication were included. Those who underwent a RSA for failure of a total shoulder arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty were excluded. Pre- and postoperative shoulder scores were evaluated in a random effects meta-analysis to determine the mean difference. The rates of re-revision and complications were also calculated.

Results

The initial search elicited 3,166 results and, following removal of duplicates and screening, 13 studies with a total of 1,042 RSAs were identified. An increase in shoulder scores pre- to postoperatively was reported in all the studies. Following revision of a RSA to a further RSA, there was a significant increase in the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score (mean difference 20.78 (95% CI 8.16 to 33.40); p = 0.001). A re-revision rate at final follow-up ranging from 9% to 32%, a one-year re-revision rate of 14%, and a five-year re-revision rate of 23% were reported. The complication rate in all the studies was between 18.5% and 36%, with a total incidence of 29%.

Conclusion

This is the largest systematic review of the outcomes following revision of a RSA. We found an improvement in functional outcomes after revision surgery, but the rates of re-revision and complications are high and warrant consideration when planning a revision procedure.

UK Foot and Ankle Thromboembolism (UK-FATE)
Authors: Mangwani Jitendra , Houchen-Wolloff Linzy , Malhotra Karan , Booth Sarah , Smith Aiden , Teece Lucy , Mason Lyndon W.
Published: November 2024

Aims

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potential complication of foot and ankle surgery. There is a lack of agreement on contributing risk factors and chemical prophylaxis requirements. The primary outcome of this study was to analyze the 90-day incidence of symptomatic VTE and VTE-related mortality in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery and Achilles tendon (TA) rupture. Secondary aims were to assess the variation in the provision of chemical prophylaxis and risk factors for VTE.

Methods

This was a multicentre, prospective national collaborative audit with data collection over nine months for all patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery in an operating theatre or TA rupture treatment, within participating UK hospitals. The association between VTE and thromboprophylaxis was assessed with a univariable logistic regression model. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify key predictors for the risk of VTE.

Results

A total of 13,569 patients were included from 68 sites. Overall, 11,363 patients were available for analysis: 44.79% were elective (n = 5,090), 42.16% were trauma excluding TA ruptures (n = 4,791), 3.50% were acute diabetic procedures (n = 398), 2.44% were TA ruptures undergoing surgery (n = 277), and 7.10% were TA ruptures treated nonoperatively (n = 807). In total, 11 chemical anticoagulants were recorded, with the most common agent being low-molecular-weight heparin (n = 6,303; 56.79%). A total of 32.71% received no chemical prophylaxis. There were 99 cases of VTE (incidence 0.87% (95% CI 0.71 to 1.06)). VTE-related mortality was 0.03% (95% CI 0.005 to 0.080). Univariable analysis showed that increased age and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade had higher odds of VTE, as did having previous cancer, stroke, or history of VTE. On multivariable analysis, the strongest predictors for VTE were the type of foot and ankle procedure and ASA grade.

Conclusion

The 90-day incidence of symptomatic VTE and mortality related to VTE is low in foot and ankle surgery and TA management. There was notable variability in the chemical prophylaxis used. The significant risk factors associated with 90-day symptomatic VTE were TA rupture and high ASA grade.

Authors: Fontalis Andreas , Buchalter Daniel , Mancino Fabio , Shen Tony , Sculco Peter K. , Mayman David , Haddad Fares S. , Vigdorchik Jonathan
Published: November 2024

Understanding spinopelvic mechanics is important for the success of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Despite significant advancements in appreciating spinopelvic balance, numerous challenges remain. It is crucial to recognize the individual variability and postoperative changes in spinopelvic parameters and their consequential impact on prosthetic component positioning to mitigate the risk of dislocation and enhance postoperative outcomes. This review describes the integration of advanced diagnostic approaches, enhanced technology, implant considerations, and surgical planning, all tailored to the unique anatomy and biomechanics of each patient. It underscores the importance of accurately predicting postoperative spinopelvic mechanics, selecting suitable imaging techniques, establishing a consistent nomenclature for spinopelvic stiffness, and considering implant-specific strategies. Furthermore, it highlights the potential of artificial intelligence to personalize care.

A Reflection on Puerto Rican and Latinx Relational Knowledge Making
Authors: Ortiz-Guzmán Lisa
Published: November 2024

Abstract: In this article, I identify how Puerto Rican and other Latina women have built a sense of place in the Midwest and, in so doing, have forged practices of relational knowledge making grounded in decolonial and feminist approaches. To do so, I highlight my scholarly trajectory through graduate studies, the scholarship and mentorship of Latina faculty, and my research regarding rural-to-rural migration from Puerto Rico to Central Illinois. Taken together, the examples provide a reminder of how Latinxs in cities and small towns continuously engage in relational ways of knowing that are both public and private.
"There's Never Been Much Use for Reality Out Here": Theorizing a Great Plains Regional Gothic in Annie Proulx's Wyoming Stories
Authors: Laduke Aaron
Published: November 2024

Abstract: Great Plains literature has long been dominated by the pioneer ideal put forth by authors such as Willa Cather. This essay claims that a thread of contemporary authors of the region are now challenging these myths and creating works that engage a repressed history of the Great Plains through a use of the Gothic genre. In her three collections of Wyoming stories, Annie Proulx creates a sober picture of the region that focuses on painful aspects such as isolation, violence, and an unforgiving landscape. Her fiction makes use of a wide range of Gothic tropes and builds on the tradition of the Southern Gothic. After defining a Great Plains Gothic and examining Proulx's work, the essay concludes by exploring other contemporary Plains writers working in a Gothic mode and countering mythic depictions of the region, several of whom take a particular focus on the repressed history concerning the oppression of Native Americans.
Unravelling the Challenges in Implementing China’s New Anti-Sexual Harassment Law
Authors: Xiong Bingwan , Chen Li
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT: As one of the most high-profile legislative breakthroughs, Article 1010 of China’s Civil Code defines sexual harassment and entitles the harassed to claim against the tortfeasors for civil liability. It further imposes a duty on relevant entities to prevent sexual harassment. Against the backdrop of this major legislative development in China, this article unravels the manifold challenges confronting the implementation of Article 1010, especially in the workplace, and proposes solutions for improvement.
The Right to Be Human: Rest and Leisure in International Human Rights Law
Authors: Odinkalu Chidi Anselm
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT: Despite the best efforts of international human rights treaties and other instruments, rest and leisure continue to struggle for recognition as well founded guarantees in international human rights law. This study investigates the rationales, background, and scope of the right to rest and leisure in international human rights law. With an evolution closely linked to the predatory and exclusionary histories of slavery, post-colony, and gender discrimination, and epistemically anchored in foundations of human dignity, agency, autonomy, and solidarity, this study argues that rest and leisure as human rights defy convenient categories and potentially emerge as the rights that calibrate the capacity of everyone to be truly human.
Frankenstein and the Progress of Civilizations
Authors: Canuel Mark
Published: November 2024

Abstract: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is steeped in traditional modes of thinking about the “progress of civilizations” that she imbibed in her readings of David Hume, Voltaire, Constantin Volney, and others. Her characters anxiously track themselves and each other into normative accounts of knowledge and action that appear progressively civilized, but none of the characters, including the monster himself, can actually live up to the ideals they propose. Instead, the novel intermittently proposes modes of relation that are founded on the quest for mutual benefit—a logic that I connect to the author’s hesitant embrace of utilitarian thinking.
Dickens’s Glazomania, Oliver Twist ’s Lists, and the Politics of Realism
Authors: Russell Beatrice Sanford
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This article explores how early Victorian social reformers deployed lists as sanitation devices to organize messy social and material realities into representative categories. Dickens’s own notable reliance on lists has been interpreted as dovetailing with a reformist politics of realist representation. But through a reading of Oliver Twist , I argue that Dickens transforms lists from a neutral technology of organization to a more anarchic form in which parts multiply without respect to a larger whole. Dickens’s lists mingle various and often mutually incompatible categorical systems and flashily attend to grammatical parts over the regulating whole of the sentence.
Characterization and Categorization in Mary Barton
Authors: Reinken Brian
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This article contends that Elizabeth Gaskell’s 1848 novel Mary Barton confuses several kinds of categorization and thus challenges the viability of classification as a way to organize industrial society. The argument focuses on Gaskell’s polymorphic minor characters, who embody a dynamic superabundance of contradictory social roles and thereby resist categorization into prefabricated literary types. Attending to these polymorphic characters encourages a more capacious understanding of what minor figures in English realism are capable of doing. Ultimately, I suggest that Mary Barton even erodes the categorical distinction separating minor characters from major ones in the first place.
Three Rediscovered Letters by Thomas Carlyle on National Education (1849–1851)
Authors: Jordan Alexander
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This article presents three rediscovered letters written between 1849 and 1851 by the great Victorian man of letters Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881). In these letters, Carlyle sets out his views on the importance of a system of universal, non-sectarian, and national education, as well as declares his support for the Lancashire Public School Association and its successor the National Public School Association. Together, these letters shed new light on the sections regarding education in Carlyle’s famous published works “Chartism” (1839), “Past and Present” (1843), and “Latter-Day Pamphlets” (1850), while suggesting that he continued to show substantial affinities with advanced liberal and radical opinion on this particular issue, despite the common belief that he became an out-and-out reactionary in later life.
Differential phase contrast intensity diffraction tomography
Authors: Bai Zhidong , Zhou Shun , Ullah Habib , Lu Linpeng , Chen Qian , Zuo Chao
Published: November 2024

Intensity diffraction tomography (IDT) is a label-free computational microscopy technique that infers 3D refractive index (RI) and absorption distributions of objects from intensity-only measurements. Nevertheless, the inherent coherent image formation model requires sequential intensity measurements under various plane wave illuminations, resulting in time-consuming data acquisition and low imaging speed. In this Letter, we propose differential phase contrast intensity diffraction tomography (DPC-IDT), which leverages partially coherent illumination to extend the accessible spectrum range, thereby achieving high-speed, motion-free 3D tomographic microscopy. DPC-IDT integrates DPC illumination within the IDT framework, allowing 3D RI tomogram reconstruction from only four intensity images under matched asymmetric annular illumination. The effectiveness of DPC-IDT is experimentally validated by RI measurements of standard microspheres. We also demonstrate dynamic 3D imaging results of living PLC cells at a 25 Hz volume rate, highlighting its potential for high-speed biological imaging of unstained samples.
ACL-DUNet: A tumor segmentation method based on multiple attention and densely connected breast ultrasound images
Authors: Zhang Hao , Liang He , Wenjia Guo , Jing Ma , Gang Sun , Hongbing Ma
Published: November 2024

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Breast masses are one of the distinctive signs for diagnosing breast cancer, and ultrasound is widely used for screening as a non-invasive and effective method for breast examination. In this study, we used the Mendeley and BUSI datasets, comprising 250 images (100 benign, 150 malignant) and 780 images (133 normal, 487 benign, 210 malignant), respectively. The datasets were split into 80% for training and 20% for validation. The accurate measurement and characterization of different breast tumors play a crucial role in guiding clinical decision-making. The area and shape of the different breast tumors detected are critical for clinicians to make accurate diagnostic decisions. In this study, a deep learning method for mass segmentation in breast ultrasound images is proposed, which uses densely connected U-net with attention gates (AGs) as well as channel attention modules and scale attention modules for accurate breast tumor segmentation.The densely connected network is employed in the encoding stage to enhance the network’s feature extraction capabilities. Three attention modules are integrated in the decoding stage to better capture the most relevant features. After validation on the Mendeley and BUSI datasets, the experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves a Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 0.8764 and 0.8313, respectively, outperforming other deep learning approaches.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of xylanase and flaxseed the performance of chickens, digesta viscosity, nutrient retention, fatty acid profile in muscle, tibia strength and interrelations of these factors in broiler chickens fed a wheat-based diet. Seven hundred and twenty one-day-old Ross 308 cockerels were assigned to four treatments according to the contents of flaxseed (0 and 80 g/kg) and xylanase (0 and 0.1 g/kg) in the diet. Xylanase significantly decreased the intake of feed (p < 0.001), decreased feed conversion (p < 0.001), and reduced mortality (p = 0.050). In addition, xylanase significantly increased the retention of all nutrients (p = 0.010 –<0.001) except crude fibre, the fat content in breast meat (p = 0.029) and liver (p = 0.019) and the concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in meat (p = 0.002). Flaxseed supplementation did not influence performance but decreased the retention of dry matter (p = 0.016), crude protein (p = 0.012), organic matter (p = 0.016) and nitrogen-free extract (p = 0.008). Xylanase in combination with flaxseed increased the content of n-3 fatty acids in the breast meat (p = 0.006). The lowest n-6/n-3 ratio (p = 0.001) was detected in the flaxseed and flaxseed combined with xylanase groups. Significant interaction effects of flaxseed and xylanase on tibia strength (p = 0.030) and tibia ash content (p = 0.009) were detected. The administration of xylanase or flaxseed alone increased tibia strength. Compared with the control diet, the addition of flaxseed to the diet increased the digesta viscosity (p = 0.043) in the ileum, whereas the addition of xylanase decreased the level of this indicator. It can be concluded that xylanase is an enzyme suitable for increasing nutrient availability, and in the case of its addition to a flaxseed diet, it can reduce the antinutritional effect of flaxseed by reducing the viscosity of the digesta and increasing the content of health-promoting n-3 PUFAs.

Playing Devil's Advocate
Authors: Lee Kristina M.
Published: November 2024

While historically blasphemy laws have been a weapon for those in power to limit the critique of dominant religions, particularly Christianity, blasphemy itself is a form of resistance rhetoric. This essay examines how The Satanic Temple (TST) utilizes both direct and indirect blasphemy as a form of uncivil obedience in order to disrupt Christonormativity and, by proxy, Christian privilege and Christian nationalism. Such blasphemy emerges in TST's articulation of its group as a religion, its legal battles of access to the public sphere, and its engagement with charity work. TST's blasphemous tactics draw public attention and call on audiences to reconsider the standards and norms espoused within a Christonormative culture. Such strategies offer insight into how both direct and indirect blasphemy can be utilized by marginalized groups that are restrained by Christonormativity.
Processing

Published: November 2024

This work addresses the possibilities for engaging ostensibly queer historical subjects whose materials contain abundant, and marked, expressions of desire in institutional archives. I forward a reconceptualization of archival processing to connect historical subjects’ investments in their preservation, to researchers’ desires for engaging specific collections, through the structures, logics, and firsthand work of archivists in (counter)institutional archives. This case engages processes underlying the contradictory recorded desires of Brian Coyle, the first openly gay elected official in Minneapolis, in relation to present understandings of queer archives and theory, through his personal papers held in the Minnesota Historical Society.
Evaluating the geological and soil characteristics influencing landslide susceptibility in Anambra state, Nigeria
Authors: Benard Ifeanyi Odoh , Charity Nkiru Nwokeabia
Published: November 2024

This study investigates soil erodibility in three Local Government Areas (LGAs) within Anambra State, Nigeria—Ekwusigo, Ihiala, and Ogbaru—situated in the lower Niger River Basin prone to frequent and severe flooding. The aim is to assess geological and soil characteristics influencing landslide susceptibility. The methodology involves identifying and characterizing soil types, calculating the Soil Erodibility Factor (K) using empirical formulas, and mapping erosion susceptibility. Data from the Soil Map of the World (version 3.6) were used, corrected for accuracy, and integrated into geographic projections. Analysis included William’s equation to calculate K factors based on soil properties such as sand, silt, clay, and organic matter content. Results highlight diverse geological formations: Ameki Group (34.24%), Benin Formation (0.26%), Ogwashi-Asaba Formation (1.59%), River Niger (1.86%), Sands, Gravels, and Clay (42.36%), and Sombreiro Warri Deltaic Plain (19.69%). Soil types identified include Dystric Nitosols (K = 0.0178) covering 449.11 km² and Gleysols (K = 0.0189) covering 283.95 km², each exhibiting unique erosion susceptibilities. Gleysols are characterized by poor drainage and high-water retention, posing higher landslide risks during heavy rainfall compared to Dystric Nitosols. The correlation between K factors and hydrological data, showing Gleysols as more vulnerable to landslides in wet conditions. Recommendations include targeted erosion control measures like terracing, vegetative buffers, and improved drainage systems for high-risk zones. Maintaining vegetative cover and implementing sustainable land management practices are crucial for mitigating erosion and landslide risks. This study provides a detailed understanding of geological and soil factors affecting landslide susceptibility in Anambra State. It underscores the need for tailored soil conservation and landslide mitigation strategies aligned with specific geological formations and soil types, contributing to sustainable land management practices in flood-prone regions.
Coupling and synchronization of HIV/AIDS fisher folk metapopulations
Authors: Chepkwony Jacob , Rotich Titus , Lagat Robert , Bittok Jacob
Published: November 2024

The study of epidemiology is often done with an assumption that the population is homogeneously mixed, and the disease dynamics is uniform. However, this is not always true, and cultural beliefs and economic activities significantly contribute to segregation not necessarily in spatial dimension but on the way of life. In this study, the dynamics of HIV/AIDS is studied in four distinct fisherfolk population patches, both individually and under all-to-all diffusive coupling. It was found that, the dynamics of each patch is periodic, and there exist an attracting invariant stable manifold. The synchronization manifold of the coupled system displayed robustness under small perturbation, even with a small coupling strength of k≪1. This guarantees uniformity of long term metapopulation dynamics.
Levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in complicated versus uncomplicated urinary tract infection
Authors: Ahmed Maryam Alaa , Ahmed Mohaned Muhsen , Ali Ali Jaleel
Published: November 2024

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the world's most frequent infectious diseases, affecting 150 million people each year and resulting in severe morbidity and high medical expenditures. UTIs can be clinically defined as uncomplicated UTIs (uUTIs) or complicated UTIs (cUTIs) to differentiate infections of benign origin from those with a higher risk of recurrence or progression to severe pathology. The aim of this study was to evaluate interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 as potential biomarkers in differentiating complicated and uncomplicated
Methods: Ninety samples of urine were collected. There were 43 samples from healthy controls and 47 samples from UTI patients, those who have been clinically diagnosed with UTIs by the urologist. The serum IL-6 and IL-8 were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and commercially available kits.
Results: The levels of both IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly higher in UTI patient then in control subjects (p=0.001, p=0.001). A significant difference was observed in the mean of level IL-6 between culture positive UTI patients and culture negative UTI patients (p=0.014). In addition, the type of bacterial growth, a significant difference was observed in the mean of serum IL-6 and IL-8 level in UTI caused by gram negative bacteria in comparison with UTI caused by gram positive bacteria.
Conclusion: High levels of IL-6 are associated with the growth of gram-negative bacteria, and this indicates that gram-negative bacteria could induce stronger inflammatory responses than gram-positive bacteria. IL-8 levels are higher in UTIs caused by gram-negative bacteria. This result further supported the evidence that gram-negative bacteria are potent inducers of inflammatory responses.

Der Begriff der Angst und die Theologie
Authors: Sirovátka Jakub , Esterbauer Reinhold , Dausner René W.
Published: November 2024

Fears have increased in recent years, both individually and collectively. Such fears about one’s own existence can be interpreted in different ways: psychologically, sociologically or politically, but also philosophically or theologically. The article deals with the phenomenon of fear/anxiety from three perspectives on the border of philosophy and theology. In 20th century philosophy, Martin Heidegger defined anxiety as the basic human mood in which man is brought before the nothingness of his existence and thus before himself. This situation of anxiety gives rise to the question of one’s own authentic existence. Heidegger’s theory has become an essential theory of anxiety, not only within phenomenology, and has significantly influenced further discussion. Emmanuel Levinas reacted to Heidegger with frontal criticism. He placed anxiety in an ethical context and thus gave the term a new meaning. The article presents and contrasts both approaches by Heidegger and Levinas. This is followed by questions for theological thinking that arise from the two thinkers’ conceptions of anxiety. These are then discussed and explained theologically against the background of Rahner’s way of thinking and taken further. It can be seen that fear is not only a negative phenomenon that needs to be overcome, but that it can also be interpreted in a positive way. Anxiety is that which throws people back on themselves and thus poses the question of the meaning of their own lives with existential urgency. The need for meaning could therefore be seen as the source of the search for a personal God.

Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized by de novo hypertension (HTN) and is often associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Hallmarks of PE are placental ischemia, decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, oxidative stress (OS), and organ damage in the kidneys and brain. This study aims to characterize a new model of PE using pregnant IUGR rats from hypertensive placental ischemic dams. It is hypothesized that pregnant IUGR rats from hypertensive placental ischemic dams will have elevated blood pressure (BP), OS, and organ damage. In this study, pregnant rats are divided into two groups: normal pregnant (NP) and hypertensive placental ischemic dams (RUPP). Offspring from NP and RUPP dams were mated at 10 weeks of age to generate pregnant IUGR (IUGR Preg) and pregnant control (CON Preg) rats. BP and other markers of PE were evaluated during late gestation. Pregnant IUGR rats had elevated BP and systemic OS. The maternal body weight of pregnant IUGR rats and their pups' weights were decreased, while the brains were enlarged with elevated OS. In summary, pregnant IUGR rats, born from hypertensive placental ischemic dams, have HTN and increased systemic and brain OS, with larger brain sizes and smaller pups. Furthermore, this study shows that pregnant IUGR rats exhibit a preeclamptic‐like phenotype, suggesting a new epigenetic model of PE.
Intransitive clause word order in Neo-Aramaic: information structure, pragmatics and word order shifts
Authors: Molin Dorota
Published: November 2024

This paper studies quantitatively intransitive constructions in Northeastern Neo-Aramaic, and their implications for Neo-Aramaic word order typology (historically, ‘subject-verb-object’). Though not considered previously, transitivity proves to be a significant factor in Neo-Aramaic word order variation. The differences between the intransitive Subject and the transitive Agent in Neo-Aramaic are a product of their divergent information-structural tendencies, as well as, it would seem, their basic syntactic preferences. Unidentifiable (i.e. indefinite, old) Subjects largely follow the verb, which fits with the larger tendency for pre-verbal arguments to be topical. Identifiable arguments, however, have roughly equal pre- and post-verbal frequencies in the corpus, when jointly considered. A deeper analysis considers referential distance and lexical-pragmatic factors. I propose that VS for identifiable Subjects is more likely for functions associated with ‘discourse discontinuity’, being less likely for foreground events. This distribution in Neo-Aramaic hints at a functional versatility of the VS structure, which is thus not restricted to a single construction such as sentence focus. By contrast, in (co-territorial Qəltu) Arabic, transitivity and topicality are less significant for word order variation. Finally, comparative data from Neo-Aramaic varieties of different word order profiles reveal the instability of the VS clause amidst larger word order changes. The cross-dialectal data show that the loss of the VS clause correlates very closely with the ‘verb-object’ to ‘object-verb’ shift. While Aramaic would have started as ‘(Agent-)verb-object’, some Neo-Aramaic dialects show increasing rates of ‘object-verb’.
Magnetic data interpretation: Implication for structure and hydrocarbon potentiality at Delta Wadi Diit, Southeastern Egypt

The south-eastern part of the Egyptian desert had been waiting for a long time for an exploration process of hydrocarbon potentiality. In this research, we are addressing the available high resolution airborne magnetic data of Delta Wadi Diit area, which were processed and interpreted to map the basement depths and structures as an aid for hydrocarbon potentiality elucidation. Applying a set of automatic interpretation techniques to the magnetic data enabled mapping the tectonic framework of the study area and determining the depth to the basement (in other words, thickness of sedimentary section), which are vital factor of hydrocarbon field analysis. These techniques involve edge detection, depth estimation, as well as 2D and 3D modeling. Edge detection methods include the horizontal tilt angle (TDX) and improved logistic function of total horizontal gradient. Moreover, Euler deconvolution, tilt angle, and source parameter imaging provide both location and depth of the magnetic sources. Interpreted structures reveal that Wadi Diit area is highly affected by shallow and deep-seated faults trending in NW-SE and ENE-WSW and NNE-SSW directions. These fault systems control the surface water drainage network, the contacts of different rock types, the Red Sea rift boundary, and local and reginal basin areas. Depth estimation techniques reveal that the depth of the basement rocks ranges from 300 to 3,500 m for the inshore parts and from 2,500 to 5,000 m for the offshore parts of the area. Basement structure of the area was then refined through applying 2D modeling along two selected profiles and 3D modeling of RTP magnetic data for the entire area. The final depth map reveals major offshore basins at the northeastern side with sedimentary section of more than 3 km thickness. Moreover, local basins are delineated inshore at the southeastern parts. The eastern part of the study area can be considered to be having high hydrocarbon potentialities. Moreover, the inshore basin areas are suitable for groundwater accumulation that makes Wadi Diit delta as one of the most promising areas for sustainable development along the Red Sea’s shore.
Irregular Migrants and the Demands of Relational Equality
Authors: Tapia-Riquelme Diego
Published: November 2024

Should states naturalize long-term irregular migrants residing in their territory? Scholars such as Carens and Rubio-Marín have defended their naturalization by drawing on a theory of social membership. However, some have argued that the social membership account falls short of requiring the granting of citizenship to irregular migrants. Others, such as Brock, Ochoa Espejo, and Hosein, have attempted to defend a right not to be deported. I argue that relational equality can provide a defense for granting irregular migrants citizenship rights – their complete naturalization – which avoids the limitations of both approaches: it provides a more solid grounding for granting citizenship to irregular migrants, and shows why a right to stay still leaves irregular migrants in a morally troubling position. Irregular migrants are subjected for long periods of time to the laws of the state they reside in without having any power or influence over them and face significant difficulties in leaving the country, which results in objectionable social inequality. I argue that such concerns about inequality of status override the right of the demos to determine its membership and concerns about irregular migrants’ original breaking of the law.

Non-Newtonian viscous fluids such as yogurt, honey, etc., due to their extremely high viscosity and complex fluidity, remain on food containers after use, where adhesion and staining occurs, which is a great inconvenience and causes a lot of wasted resources. Hydrophobic coatings can be an excellent candidate for eliminating liquid waste. Inexpensive wollastonite nanoparticles were used to build rough micro- and nano-structures, and chitosan was used to emulsify rice bran wax to prepare green and low surface energy emulsions. The above two were mechanically mixed to obtain the hydrophobic emulsion, and coated on the paper surface and heat-treated to prepare the hydrophobic paper. Contact angles up to 157.3°. The coating exhibits good self-cleaning properties for a wide range of non-Newtonian viscous food liquids and shows excellent resistance to repeated machine bending and multiple abrasion damages, while maintaining its hydrophobicity. After 40 cycles of friction, the contact angle is 148.1°, which is still close to 150° and has good hydrophobicity. In addition, the coating has great potential for application to the interior surfaces of various food packages to reduce or even eliminate liquid food residues.
Assessing coherence in the Spanish PYTA morphome
Authors: Beckwith Joseph Finnegan
Published: November 2024

This study explores the concept of morphomic coherence in Spanish PYTA (perfectos y tiempos afines, ‘perfects and related tenses’) verb forms and the notion of the morphome diachronically. The Spanish PYTA form comes from the Latin perfectum, and comprises the preterit, imperfect subjunctives, and future subjunctive. PYTA is marked by a loss of perfective function, and semantic cohesion, causing some to propose that it is morphomic in nature, or, purely morphological with no syntactic or semantic justification. One argument used in support of the notion of the morphome is the concept of “coherence” suggesting that diachronic changes affect all members of the morphome simultaneously. However, analyzing corpus data from the 13-17th century unveils uneven temporal development and inconsistent coherence within speakers. This questions the notion of coherence and provides insights into diachronic shifts in verb morphology. Such corpus results raise questions whether native speakers abstract morphomic patterns over time.
Researching the Job Corps at Acadia National Park
Authors: Miller Laura A. , Sirna Angela
Published: November 2024

The War on Poverty-era Job Corps conservation centers of the National Park Service offer an important narrative about the contributions of young people of color and poor white people to conservation and the national parks. At a time when the agency is eager to diversify both its staff and visitors, this is an important history for the NPS to research and interpret for the public. The Job Corps and other federal youth conservation programs also offer important lessons for current and future job training and conservation programs. These lessons underscore the need to fully consider issues of race and class in federal programs that seek to address poverty and conservation, and to consider whether federal land agencies such as the National Park Service are equipped to handle this task.
