Business Dispute Settlement Through Mediation in State Courts and Arbitration Institutions
Authors: Yuspin Wardah , Aziz Abdul
Published: October 2022

In social life, there are often differences in perceptions between humans, causing problems or disputes, whether minor or serious. Likewise in the relationship of economic activities or more commonly known as business relations. Not infrequently humans experience a clash and differences of opinion that lead to disputes. Various problems will always arise in business as long as humans run their business solely for profit, so there are often differences of opinion because the parties will not be harmed which will eventually lead to disputes. In the end, dispute resolution, especially business disputes, is often resolved through a trial in court through a lawsuit by one of the parties who feel aggrieved. However, what was expected from the settlement turned out to be unsatisfactory for the parties because the settlement through litigation sometimes took a long time to obtain legal certainty so that it actually harmed business people because of the loss of time, energy and materials. As an alternative to resolving business disputes, business actors have a tendency to avoid disputes in court and choose to use mediation or through arbitration institutions. This study will briefly describe the comparison of business dispute resolution through court mediation with settlement through arbitration institutions. The research was conducted through descriptive empirical legal research.
Traces of Gender Equality in Indonesia
Authors: Yuspin Wardah , Aulia Shofiana Eka
Published: October 2022

Gender is a topic that is always interesting to discuss, ranging from the problems in implementing gender equality anywhere and anytime, the pros and cons between supporters and opponents of gender, to the view of how religion views gender equality. The occurrence of violence against women makes gender equality campaigns always echoed by women activists, so that women have equal rights in all aspects of life. History records how in the Kartini era, women were considered as sidekicks with 3M tasks (macak, cook, manak), cultural values ​​that greatly influenced the roles of women and men in the public and domestic spheres from the Kartini era until now. Kartini is a symbol of women's emancipation, how Kartini's struggle against the powerlessness of women against the patriarchal culture that developed in that era.  After the Kartini era, female figures emerged in the struggle for gender equality. The fact is that there are still a lot of people who consider it taboo if women take a role in the public sphere. Meanwhile, women need support from all levels of society, including the family, in carrying out real action to empower them. Whether we realize it or not, women's empowerment activities are very dependent on stigma and support from various parties, especially men. When the wider community realizes the importance of empowering women, surely Indonesia's development will experience rapid and sustainable development. Although there are many women activists who glorify and fight for gender equality, we still often encounter gender gaps. That is why, the author feels it is important to raise the theme of gender equality in this article. The author considers it very important to introduce the history of gender equality in Indonesia so that we all know how the struggle of female heroes in fighting for justice in the form of gender equality is.

Dynamics of Women’s Access Conditions to Agricultural Land among the Yacouba of Danané
Authors: Goulin Aymard Boris
Published: October 2022

Land and gender are two natural elements that have important cultural dimensions in many societies, especially in Africa. The Yacouba of Danané (western Côte d’Ivoire), in their tradition, except in exceptional cases, do not favor inheritance or ownership of agricultural land by women. With the politico-military crisis that Côte d’Ivoire experienced between 2002 and 2011, during which Danané was besieged by the rebels, it was to be feared that the land situation of yacouba women in this locality would worsen. However, there is an improvement in their land conditions. By focusing on the changes in land practices underway in the Yacouba tradition of Danané, this study aims to identify the determinants of dynamics of Yacouba women’s access conditions to agricultural land in Danané. To do this, focus groups with presidents of women farmers’ associations, individual interviews with customary chiefs, agents of women’s support structures and women farmers were carried out and transcribed. The thematic analysis of the content of these transcripts reveals the role played by NGOs and other human rights defense structures in Danané during the military-political crisis in Côte d’Ivoire and the impact of the action of these organizations as factors of this dynamic. However, there are still socio-land issues faced specifically by Yacouba women in Danané that prevent them from fully exercising their land rights.

TRACING ROUSSEAU’S HUMAN PERFECTIBILITY AND SELF-LOVE IN MARA AND DANN: AN ADVENTURE (1999) BY DORIS LESSING
Authors: Rezaei Zahra , Bahar Ida Baizura , Ali Termizi Arbaayah , Mani Manimangai
Published: October 2022

The literary works by the contemporary British author, Doris Lessing (1919-2013), can be regarded as troubling and challenging narratives of women’s experience in Africa where discussions on sexuality, societal pressure and environmental problems are still ignored. More importantly, in her novel Mara and Dann: An Adventure (1999), Lessing portrays the female protagonist, Mara, as a typical young African woman who attempts to survive and overcome social and environmental problems. This study examines how Mara attempts to create a good relationship with other people and her environment, or society, while changing the world around her. Using the critical concept of perfectibility by the Genevan philosopher, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, we aim to examine the depictions of Mara’s interactions with her society and her responses to the practice of traditional cultures in African society. The methodology is based on examining Rousseau’s theodicy of self-love as a way to examine how characters attain perfectibility, namely the ability to improve and change the world. The study clarifies that Mara’s interactions with her natural environment and society play an important role in her perfectibility and improvement. When Mara achieves good connections with her society, her actions become highly intelligible and moral. She cares about others who are less fortunate than herself so she attempts to increase people’s awareness of their surroundings. She also manages to change the cultural norms and patriarchal traditions by choosing her own sexual partners. She achieves the ability to improve herself, express her ideas and make a better world for herself.
EXPLORING JOYCE CAROL OATES’S WORK BY USING FOUCAULT’S HETEROTOPIA
Authors: Mi Chen , Omar Noritah , Zainal Zainor Izat , Awang Mohammad Ewan
Published: October 2022

This paper explores Joyce Carol Oates’ work by applying the theory of Foucault’s Heterotopia to analyze the primary forms and representational meanings of spatial writing of Heterotopia in Oates’ texts. With its heterogeneity, difference, and subversion characteristics, Heterotopia exists in a forgotten and neglected social space. Exploring the social and literary issues of history and time through the concept of space, Foucault’s Heterotopia theory has become the prized focus of contemporary academic research. In this article, the concepts of Heterotopia, historical transformation, and theoretical qualities and characteristics are introduced and applied to an analysis of Oates’s work. It argues that Oates’ literary works contain numerous postmodern writing techniques in the space of difference and heterogeneity. Her ideas and works traverse the real and the imaginary, the moderate and the edgy, in a manner that intersects time and space, history and the future. Almost every significant scene in Oates’s work conforms to the six characteristics of Heterotopia. It concludes that Oates’ Heterotopias reflect religious repression, racial discrimination, and sexual violence. By analyzing the construction of Heterotopia, this paper provides a glimpse of Oates’ plot of power and violence, her innovative and pioneering writing, and her expectation of female struggle for survival space and pursuit of self-worth.
NATURE AS A MEANS OF FEMALE EMPOWERMENT IN TWO SOUTHEAST ASIAN HORROR FILMS
Authors: Seach Jin Beng , Mohamed Noor Marzita
Published: October 2022

The close relationship between nature and women is an aged-old phenomenon. Nature itself is often associated with feminine traits owing to its motherly and nurturing nature. There have been a substantial amount of academic studies conducted for the purpose of examining the intricate relationship between nature and women. Eco-feminism for instance, investigates how the exploitation of nature is akin to the exploitation of women by capitalism and patriarchy. Meanwhile, there is also ecological feminism that discusses how women have been placed in unfair positions through male- biased division of labour and environmental roles. Although some scholars have attempted to explore how nature serves to empower women, the role of nature as a means of empowerment for female ghosts remains relatively scarce. This study aims to examine how nature can play its role to empower women even as ghosts in two Southeast Asian horror films namely Inhuman Kiss (2019) and Suzzanna: Buried Alive (2018). This study explores the relationship between the female ghosts and nature in relation to the abject and the lens of eco-feminism. It aims to demonstrate how the bond between nature and women perpetuates beyond the corporeal world.

Vibrations of Phase-Lags on Electro-Magneto Nonlocal Elastic Solid with Voids in Generalized Thermoelastic Cylinder/Disk
Authors: Mehalwal Jai Chand , Sharma Sita Ram , Sharma Dinesh Kumar
Published: October 2022

The stress-strain-temperature relations, strain-displacement relations and governing equations have been addressed for electro-magneto transversely isotropic nonlocal elastic hollow cylinder with voids in the reference of 3-phase-lag effect of heat conduction. The strength of the magnetic field proceeds in the direction of the z-axis of the hollow cylinder/disk. The simultaneous differential equations have been eliminated by applying elimination technique to obtain unknown field functions such as dilatation, equilibrated voids volume fraction, temperature, displacement and stresses. Free vibration analysis has been explored by applying stress free and thermally insulated/isothermal boundaries. Analytical results are verified by employing numerically analyzed results for unknown field functions and presented graphically for the vibrations of stress free field functions such as thermoelastric damping, frequencies and frequency-shift. The results have been authenticated by analyzing analytical and numerical results with existing literature with earlier published work. The study of present paper based on 3-phase-lag model of generalized thermoelasticity may receive better approach to allow voids and relaxation time parameters, which have many applications in the field of science, technology and engineering. The study may also be useful in the area of seismology for mining and drilling in the earth’s crust.

Physiological Effects of Condensed Tannins from Black Currant (Ribes nigrum L.) on Isolated Rat Duodenal Contraction
Authors: Klongsiriwet Chaweewan , Wungpanya Janyaporn , Salaemae Hanafarah , Thavonsuk Suchanan , Hiranyachattada Siriphun
Published: October 2022

Condensed tannins (CTs) extracted from various plants have been shown to possess antioxidant, antidiabetic, anthelmintic, anti-palatable and anti-diarrhea activity. Black currant (Ribes nigrum L.), a native plant of northern Europe and Asia, is rich in phenolic compounds, including CTs. Among the biological activities of CTs, their astringent property is likely to affect gastrointestinal motility. This study aimed to investigate the physiological effect of CTs from black currant (R. nigrum L.) leaves on isolated rat duodenal contraction. Duodenal segments were fixed in organ baths containing carbogen aerated Krebs solution at the resting tension of 0.7 - 0.8 g. The frequency, amplitude, and tone of duodenal contraction were recorded. Either CTs or acetylcholine (ACh) were cumulatively added into the bath at the concentration of between 0.001 - 10 µg/mL and 10–8 - 10–4 M, respectively. The mechanisms of CTs and ACh actions were studied using muscarinic receptor antagonist (atropine, 1.55×10–5 M) and calcium channel blocker (verapamil, 10–6 M). It is found that CTs at the concentration between 0.001 - 10 µg/mL had no direct effect on duodenal frequency, amplitude, and tone of contraction, whereas ACh showed a significant increase in tonic contraction, was suppressed by atropine. Interestingly, in the presence of atropine and verapamil, CTs showed a further significant decrease in the amplitude of duodenal contraction compared to the effect of these 2 blockers alone. It is concluded that CTs would synergize the activity of the muscarinic receptor antagonist and the calcium channel blocker at duodenal enteric neurons or smooth muscle membrane. However, the use of CTs from black currant (R. nigrum L.) leaves to treat gastro-intestinal disorders while having muscarinic receptor antagonist or calcium channel blocker need cautions.

HIGHLIGHTS

Black currant (Ribes nigrum L.), a native plant of northern Europe and Asia, is rich in phenolic compounds including condensed tannins (CTs) and their astringent property is likely to affect gastrointestinal motility

CTs isolated from leaves of black currant (R. nigrum L.) at the physiological doses (0.001 - 10.0 µg/mL) have no direct effect on isolated rat duodenal contraction

CTs may possess the synergistic or additive effect with either atropine, a nonselective muscarinic receptor, or verapamil, a calcium channel blocker on duodenal amplitude of contraction

Geonosografia: a contribuição da ciência geográfica na área da Saúde
Authors: Ribeiro Alves Mário
Published: October 2022

Talvez a ciência de história mais longa, a Geografia nos coloca diretamente em contato com o mundo exterior e representa saber apreendido pela própria vivência. De realidade objetiva, analisa fenômenos localizados no espaço, que é definido de forma histórica e material pela relação homem-meio. Como consequências das ações do homem sobre o ambiente, há reação dos ecossistemas, podendo gerar aumento de doenças/agravos, que, por isso, são socialmente produzidos e historicamente construídos. Sendo influenciada por condutas individuais e contextos coletivos, a saúde é expressa em relações entre sujeitos e o meio e é por isso que a ciência geográfica pode contribuir para o estudo de doenças/agravos, compreendendo o espaço e o tempo socialmente produzidos e dinamicamente indissociáveis. Este trabalho tem como objetivo unir relações entre Geografia e a área da Saúde, entendendo que conceitos das áreas ambiental e social podem contribuir para a compreensão de doenças. Propõe-se o conceito de Geonosografia, definido como estudo geográfico de doenças.
Discursividades Nacionais, Processos de Musealização e Diversidade Sexual e de Gênero: a "excepcionalidade" na/da Costa Rica
Authors: Gontijo Fabiano
Published: October 2022

O Museu Nacional da Costa Rica apresenta algo inusitado na última sala da exposição permanente sobre a história do país: painéis e imagens referentes aos direitos conquistados naquele país por pessoas lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, transsexuais, transgêneras e outras possibilidades dissidentes. Em busca por modos de denunciar os mecanismos, dispositivos, tecnologias, estratégias e símbolos que naturalizam o binarismo de gênero, o dimorfismo sexual e a heterossexualidade compulsória (e hierarquias raciais, opressões de classe, extremismos religiosos, etc), por meio dos museus nacionais, deparei-me, assim, na Costa Rica, com essa “exceção” em relação a outros museus nacionais, nos quais, geralmente, a narrativa nacional oficial musealizada tende a ocultar a diversidade sexual e de gênero em prol da heteronormatividade. Esboçarei aqui algumas reflexões sobre as relações entre a construção de ideologias nacionais, a musealização de patrimônios culturais e a crítica à heteronormatividade a partir de pesquisa realizada na Costa Rica entre 2021 e 2022.

economic sociology on financialization and debt. In the second part, I
review concepts from social movement studies. These two parts bring
together the “why” with the “how” of contentious debt politics.
Open Space and Flexible Borders
Authors: Park Hyunhee
Published: October 2022

This chapter evaluates the importance of the Sino-Islamic maritime
connections in premodern Afro-Eurasian cross-cultural contact by
examining geographic understanding of the sea space accumulated
by those engaged in the prosperity of maritime activities. Such a boom
led people to have a theoretical and practical understanding of the
maritime realm, the open space for their activities, by sharing important
information for sailing, ports, and local products, which further facilitated
increased contacts of exchanging commercial goods and cultural items.
The study is attentive to, and speaks to, questions of spatiality of the
maritime realm regarding openness and flexibility in border issues
in order to understand the spatial configuration of maritime trade,
compared to land-based commercial exchange that was more bound
by political borders.
YouTube and Beyond

Published: October 2022

This chapter summarises the book’s key arguments and contentions on
Philippine digital cultures, foregrounded by the brokering of feminised
subjectivity, intimate relations, world-class labour, and partisan politics
on YouTube. It recaps the study’s proposed conceptual frame of digital
brokering, as well as its key dimensions, reiterating the operations and
implications of digital brokering in the everyday digital lives of Filipinos
within postcolonial and neoliberal spheres. This final chapter leaves
the readers with some future research directions, including ways of
approaching and investigating YouTubing as a form of platformisation
of everyday life in the Global South. It provides a space for critical reflection
on understanding the impact and implications of emerging and
rapidly evolving platforms on the intimate, informal, and everyday lives
of individuals who constantly negotiate existing structural inequalities
in a global and digital society.
The mobilisation of able-bodied men in Friesland 1525–1552
Authors: Mol Hans
Published: October 2022

The third chapter examines how after 1525 the Habsburg authorities
used the popular militias in Friesland until 1552. They continued to rely
on the male population for defence, especially in support of the professional
forces. To this end, they held regular arms inspections and issued
ordinances for an ensign organisation modelled on the professional
formations of the time. The government deployed the militias primarily for
guarding services and actions against religious revolutionaries. However,
at the beginning of 1552, it also considered the possibility of using them
in turning an invasion by enemies of the Franco-Saxon coalition. All
healthy men between sixteen and sixty were summoned to assist in
this, with the understanding that only one man per household had to
perform the service.
Responsibility to Protect European Identity
Authors: Basbugoglu Tarik , Korkut Umut
Published: October 2022

Turkey and Hungary have become two important cases through which to
investigate the development of anti-European Union narratives. In this
case study, we try to express how the Turkish and the Hungarian political
elite sought to construct their humanitarian narratives to criticise the
European Union during the Syrian refugee crisis. First, we explain how
the Turkish political elite aimed to construct a Muslim self to vicariously
identify with the Syrian Sunni Arabs. Second, we show how the Hungarian
political elite sought to create a Christian self, so as to consider Middle
Eastern Christians and European citizens as an extension of the Hungarian
populace. In this chapter, we use speeches by members of the Turkish
and Hungarian political elite as our data to investigate how these elites
appealed to their domestic public audiences from 2011 to 2020.
Morphology and environmentally persistent free radicals on biochars: A review
Authors: Mosonik Bornes Chelangat
Published: October 2022

This paper examines the morphology and environmentally persistent free radicals on biochars. It is true that the increase in population has led to exponential increase in demand for energy leading to gradual depletion of fossil fuel reserves. Therefore arises the need to search for alternative renewable clean and sustainable energy resource. Biomass derived fuels offers the best alternative to fossil fuel. Pyrolysis is one of the techniques used to produce biofuel from biomass. Thermal decomposition of biomass in limited supply of oxygen leads to emissions of complex matrices that affect biofuel utilization and stability. The major by-products from biomass pyrolysis include liquid oil, biochar and gases depending on operating conditions such as temperature, particle size, heating rate and reactor configuration. Biochars generated tend to find its use majorly in industry, agriculture and cleaning of industrial waste. Nonetheless biochars may contain organic compounds such as furans, aldehydes, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS) and environmentally persistent free radicals which are of toxic, carcinogenic, cause oxidative stress and mutagenic. This review therefore focuses on the characteristics of biochar in terms of morphology and the nature of persistent free radicals embedded on the surface of the biochar. It is notable that the information on optimum conditions for production of biochars free of persistent free radicals is scanty if any.
Impact of Covid-19 on women self-help groups and mitigation strategies in Kenya
Authors: Wanjiku Musili
Published: October 2022

This paper sought to understand the pandemic's effect on Women's Self-Help Groups (WSHGs) operations in Kenya and the strategies stakeholders could adopt to mitigate the effects. The social capital theory was used to guide the research. It holds that social networks are valuable assets and interactions are critical in self-help groups to promote trustworthiness and reciprocity. The desktop review method was used to gather the information from studies on WSHGs and Covid-19 in Kenya (15 studies in 9 out of 47 Counties). The study analysed the public health measures adopted and how they affected WSHGs operations. It established that they adversely affected interactions that are critical in WSHGs operations. The mitigation strategies entail embracing technology, subsidised technological devices, affordable data bundles, social safety nets, and evidence-based interventions. This paper recommends that the government should establish partnerships with more WSHGs to reach the hard-to-reach population. It should empower WSHGs to offer the much-needed social safety nets for vulnerable groups in society. The containment measures should be context-tailored to help WSHGs operate following public health protocols.
Urban morphology and artificial intelligence
Authors: Stojanovski Todor
Published: October 2022

This commentary aims to concisely introduce artificial intelligence and urbantech for urban morphologists. We are in a midst of a new revolution in machine learning with ‘neural nets’ capable of understanding human speech and written language and analysing content on images and videos. The neural nets can semantically parse scenes on images recognizing objects, creating scene graphs, and describing content with text. However, specialized neural nets for urban morphology do not exist. Neural nets can recognise artefacts from specific historical ages or learn about architectural styles only if they are supervised by experts. To create urban morphological architectural intelligence that can help with morphological research or morphologically-informed urban design practices, urban morphologists need to translate their analytics and practices into software specifications. Creating specialized neural nets for urban morphology requires expertise in software engineering and programming effort and seems far in the future, but the International Seminar for Urban Form and Urban Morphology can play a profound role in debating urbantech, needs for intelligent tools and reaching to computational science and technology. Only through coordination and finding synergies the revolution of artificial intelligence will influence urban morphology as urbantech.

The study investigated the role of the internet in the promotion of Bed and Breakfast as well as Guest houses establishments in Mthatha. These establishments are an important sector in the hospitality industry in South Africa and due to a number of developmental projects in Mthatha over the last decade, there has been a rapid increase in such businesses especially in the upmarket suburbs of the town. This increase in the number of establishments has resulted in increased competition for business. The internet has radically altered today ‘s media landscape and presents the hospitality industry with new opportunities to promote their companies. It also enables hospitality industry managers to find out what people need, what content they are looking for, and how one’s company can help them. The nature of the study was exploratory, and fulfilled the purpose of the study using a qualitative research method. The theoretical approach applied in this research was the evalue model. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. The study revealed that the hospitality sector can benefit greatly if they use the internet strategically to achieve growth.

For antipsychotic-related sexual dysfunction, 1 guideline recommends switching to aripiprazole or another non-hyperprolactinemic antipsychotic as the first option. Alternatively, the guideline recommends adjunctive treatment with aripiprazole, or switching to antipsychotics that have less impact on sexual function. Another guideline recommends adding estrogen or testosterone treatment to the antipsychotic medication to assist sexual dysfunction in women.

For antidepressant-related sexual dysfunction, 1 guideline recommends switching to agomelatine or to a non-serotonergic drug or fluvoxamine as first option. Alternatively, the guideline recommends switching to a partially non-serotonergic antidepressant, adding antidotes, or using vaginal lubricants.

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir alfabetização e numeramento. Ambos os processos fazem parte da base da vida escolar da criança, e por meio deles se dá a integração e participação do aluno nas mais diversas práticas sociais. A fundamentação teórica deste artigo está baseada nos conceitos clássicos de alfabetização e letramento de Carvalho (2005); Ferreiro (1998; 1999); Kleiman (2002); Soares (2008; 1998) e Teberosky (2000). Com base nas discussões teórico-práticas deste estudo, ressalta-se o papel do professor e da família para garantir uma educação de qualidade ao aluno, que estimule a leitura, o aprendizado e a curiosidade. Defende-se que os professores devem ter umaabordagem diversificada de leitura e alfabetização para trabalhar com crianças. A introdução da alfabetização na educação infantil tem seus benefícios e responsabilidades. Portanto, é uma grande contribuição para a alfabetização do aluno quando ele trabalha a alfabetização com crianças na educação infantil. Nesta fase é importante respeitar a importância do brincar, por isso é ideal aliar a aprendizagem ao brincar.
Adaptive thermal image velocimetry of spatial wind movement on landscapes using near-target infrared cameras

Abstract. Thermal image velocimetry (TIV) is a near-target remote sensing technique for estimating two-dimensional (2D) near-surface wind velocity based on spatio-temporal displacement of fluctuations in surface brightness temperature captured by an infrared camera. The addition of an automated parameterization and the combination of ensemble TIV results into one output made the method more suitable to changing meteorological conditions and less sensitive to noise stemming from the airborne sensor platform. Three field campaigns were carried out to evaluate the algorithm over turf, dry grass, and wheat stubble. The derived velocities were validated with independently acquired observations from fine-wire thermocouples and sonic anemometers. It was found that the TIV technique correctly derives atmospheric flow patterns close to the ground. Moreover, the modified method resolves wind speed statistics close to the surface at a higher resolution than the traditional measurement methods. Adaptive thermal image velocimetry (A-TIV) is capable of providing contactless spatial information about near-surface atmospheric motion and can help to be a useful tool in researching turbulent transport processes close to the ground.

Published: October 2022

Abstract. Ferri-taramite (IMA CNMNC 2021-046), ideally
ANaB(CaNa)C(Mg3Fe23+)(Si6Al2)O22W(OH)2,
occurs in skarn from the Jakobsberg manganese mine, Värmland, Sweden.
Associated minerals are celsian, phlogopite, aegirine-augite, andradite, hancockite,
melanotekite, microcline (var. hyalophane), calcite, baryte, prehnite,
macedonite and oxyplumboroméite. Conditions of formation, close to peak
metamorphism (at circa 650 ∘C and 0.4 GPa), include silica
undersaturation, a slightly peralkaline character and relatively high
oxygen fugacities. Ferri-taramite forms poikiloblastic crystals up to 5 mm
and is dark brownish black with a yellowish grey streak. The amphibole is
brittle with an uneven to splintery fracture. Cleavage parallel to
{110} is good. Hardness (Mohs) is ∼ 6,
and Dcalc=3.227(5) g cm−3. Holotype ferri-taramite
has the experimental unit formula
A(Na0.79K0.16Pb0.01)Σ0.96B(Ca1.26Na0.72Mn0.022+)Σ2C(Mg2.66Mn0.582+Fe0.162+Zn0.02Fe1.263+
Al0.26Ti0.06)Σ5.00T(Al1.86Si6.14)Σ8O22W(OH)2, based on chemical analyses (EDS, laser-ablation ICP-MS) and
spectroscopic (Mössbauer, infrared) and single-crystal X-ray
diffraction data. The mineral is optically biaxial (–), with α=1.670(5), β=1.680(5) and γ=1.685(5) in white light and
2Vmeas=70(10)∘ and 2Vcalc=70.2∘.
Ferri-taramite is distinctly pleochroic in transmitted light, with X pale
yellow, Y dark brown, Z yellowish brown and absorption Y>Z>X. The eight strongest reflections in the X-ray powder pattern
(d values (in Å), Irel, hkl) are 8.44, 60, 110; 3.392, 25, 131;
3.281, 39, 240; 3.140, 100, 310; 2.816, 45, 330; 2.7104, 38, 151;
1.3654, 26, 461; and 1.4451, 33, 6‾61. Refined unit-cell parameters from
single-crystal diffraction data are a=9.89596(13), b=18.015(2), c=5.32164(7) Å, β=105.003(13)∘ and V=916.38(2) Å3 for Z=2. Refinement of the crystal structure yielded R=2.26 % for 2722 reflections with Io>2σ(I). The
Mn2+ and Fe2+ ions show preference for the M1 and M3 octahedrally
coordinated sites, whereas Fe3+ is strongly ordered at M2. The A-group
cations, K and Na, are split over two subsites, A(m) and A(2), respectively.

Abstract. Germany's 2018–2020 consecutive drought events resulted in multiple sectors – including agriculture, forestry, water management, energy
production, and transport – being impacted. High-resolution information systems are key to preparedness for such extreme drought events. This study evaluates the new
setup of the one-kilometer German drought monitor (GDM), which is based on daily soil moisture (SM) simulations from the mesoscale hydrological
model (mHM). The simulated SM is compared against a set of diverse observations from single profile measurements, spatially distributed sensor
networks, cosmic-ray neutron stations, and lysimeters at 40 sites in Germany. Our results show that the agreement of simulated and observed
SM dynamics in the upper soil (0–25 cm) are especially high in the vegetative active period (0.84 median correlation R) and lower in
winter (0.59 median R). The lower agreement in winter results from methodological uncertainties in both simulations and observations. Moderate but
significant improvements between the coarser 4 km resolution setup and the ≈ 1.2 km resolution GDM in the agreement to
observed SM dynamics is observed in autumn (+0.07 median R) and winter (+0.12 median R). Both model setups display similar correlations to
observations in the dry anomaly spectrum, with higher overall agreement of simulations to observations with a larger spatial footprint. The higher
resolution of the second GDM version allows for a more detailed representation of the spatial variability of SM, which is particularly beneficial
for local risk assessments. Furthermore, the results underline that nationwide drought information systems depend both on appropriate simulations of
the water cycle and a broad, high-quality, observational soil moisture database.
