Abstract. This study was carried out in the Lom series in Cameroon, at the border with
Central African Republic, located between the latitudes 5∘30′–6∘ N
and the longitudes 13∘30′–14∘45′ E. A multi-scale analysis of
aeromagnetic data combining tilt derivative, Euler deconvolution, upward
continuation, and 2.75D modelling was used. The following conclusions were
drawn. (1) Several major families of faults were mapped. Their orientations
are ENE–WSW, E–W, NW–SE, and N–S with a NE–SW prevalence. The latter are
predominantly sub-vertical with NW and SW dips and appear to be prospective
for future mining investigations. (2) The evidence of compression, folding,
and shearing axis was concluded from superposition of null contours of the
tilt derivative and Euler deconvolution. The principal evidence of the local tectonics was due to several deformation episodes (D1, D2, and D4) associated
with NE–SW, E–W, and NW–SE events, respectively. (3) Depths of interpreted
faults range from 1000 to 3400 m. (4) Several linear structures correlating
with known mylonitic veins were identified. These are associated with the
Lom faults and represent the contacts between the Lom series and the
granito-gneissic rocks; we concluded the intense folding was caused by senestral
and dextral NE–SW and NW–SE stumps. (5) We propose a structural model of the
top of the crust (schists, gneisses, granites) that delineates principal
intrusions (porphyroid granite, garnet gneiss, syenites, micaschists,
graphite, and garnet gneiss) responsible for the observed anomalies. The
2.75D modelling revealed many faults with a depth greater than 1200 m and
confirmed the observations from reduced-to-Equator total magnetic intensity (RTE-TMI), tilt derivative, and Euler
deconvolution. (6) We developed a lithologic profile of the Bétaré-Oya basin.

Published: April 2021

Desde la corriente de Alfabetización Emergente se investiga sobre los predictores de la competencia lectora. Uno de esos predictores es la conciencia fonológica. Nuestro estudio pretende comprender la secuencia normal de desarrollo en el mecanismo de adquisición lectora averiguando el grado de dificultad de distintas tareas de conciencia fonológica y su relación con la competencia lectora posterior, en 125 alumnos prelectores. Las evaluaciones han sido realizadas en dos momentos: 1) Educación Infantil de 4 y 5 años, y 2) 1º de Primaria y 2º de Primaria; respectivamente. Los instrumentos empleados han sido la Batería de Inicio a la Lectura (BIL 3-6) y el Test de Lectura y Escritura en Español. Los datos han sido sometidos a análisis de los descriptivos, a análisis correlacional, a análisis de regresión y ANOVA; y a análisis factorial. Los resultados muestran que a los alumnos prelectores les resultan más sencillas las tareas de aislar sílabas y fonemas junto con las tareas de contar sílabas, que la tarea de omisión de sílaba y la tarea de rima, resultando esta última la más difícil. Los resultados avalan que existe correlación entre el nivel de competencia lectora y las tareas de conciencia fonológica.

Authors: Fortea María del Sol , Escandell María Olga , Castro José Juan
Published: April 2021

Numerous studies reveal the benefits of early intervention for the adequate development of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Most of the interventions designed for people with ASD focus exclusively on a sole methodology. This study proposes a Combined Early Intervention Program (hereafter CEIP) using different methodologies with scientific evidence: Early Intensive Behavioral Interventions (EIBI), Early Start Denver Model (DENVER), spatial-temporal organization (TEACCH), augmentative communication systems (the Picture Exchange Communication System—PECS—, Total Communication Program, Picture Communication Symbols—PCS), behavioral strategies, and training of the parents. This CEIP contemplates intervention in areas that are typically affected in ASD: socialization, communication, symbolization, and behavioral flexibility, producing considerable improvement in the children's behavior, decreasing problem behaviors and improving social communication.
Using brewer’s spent grain as a byproduct of the brewing industry in the bakery industry
Authors: Nagy Vivien , Diósi Gerda
Published: April 2021

The utilization of food industry byproducts is one of today’s important environmental and economic tasks. Byproducts that form during food production are typically used for feed purposes, but in many cases these materials can also be used in the production of human foods. The brewer’s spent grain left behind after brewing beer is a byproduct with favorable nutrition parameters, with low sugar and high fiber and protein contents. The main objective of our experiments was the reintroduction of brewer’s spent grain into the food industry, with a focus on innovation and sustainable development, by utilizing it in commercially available bakery products (salty medallions / wafers) formulated and regulated in the Hungarian Food Codex. Brewer’s spent grain consists of vegetable proteins and fibers (inactive malt), which may improve the compositional characteristics when preparing bakery products. In the course of our research, medallions enriched with brewer’s spent grain were prepared, of the beneficial parameters of which its high dietary fiber content should be highlighted, which can contribute to the realization of a health-conscious diet for consumers. A diet rich in dietary fiber, combined with an adequate amount of exercise, can reduce the risk of developing certain diseases (e.g., cancer and cardiovascular diseases).

Published: April 2021

One of the factors that negatively affect the human body is susceptibility to stress. The inability to react to negative emotions and reduce tensions in the body causes many negative symptoms that affect people every day. A relaxing massage is one of the ways to reduce stress levels. The aim of the study was to attempt to assess the effect of a relaxing massage on the level of stress in women aged 25-45 years. The research group consisted of 60 women. The research group underwent a proprietary relaxing massage, while the control group used manicures or pedicures. As the research method an original questionnaire and the PSS-10 (Perceived Stress Scale) was used. The subjective assessment of the level of stress based on the proprietary survey and the PSS-10 questionnaire among the respondents after the relaxing massage was statistically signifi cantly lower. How ever, no statistically signifi cant differences in the decrease in stress levels were found between the two groups. On the other hand, a statistically signifi cant relationship between education and the level of stress was proved. Subjects with lower education were characterized by a higher level of stress.

Authors:   University of Guyana, Wilson Shania , Benn Dina Khadija ,   University of Guyana, Edinboro Rawle ,   University of Guyana
Published: April 2021

The UN-Habitat recognises housing as a basic human need, and it is a central tenet articulated under Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. In Guyana, this need is principally met by the Housing Act of 1996, which mandates the Central Housing and Planning Authority to establish housing schemes countrywide. Housing scheme establishment can be challenged by the physiographic conditions of hinterland regions. In 2010, the Authority proposed housing development at the periphery of Bartica, Cuyuni-Mazaruni (Region VII), which is earmarked as the nation’s model green town.

Published: April 2021

Abstract: The lack of students ability to master vocabulary caused by vocabulary mastery strategies that have not been effective and are not so strengthened in the teaching and learning process. In addition, also because of the lack of students who have an Arabic dictionary to Indonesia, conversely Indonesian to Arabic. This makes it difficult for students to explore the meaning of words. All students only rely on the vocabulary in the book and the rest students ask the teacher about the meaning of each difficult word. This requirement makes students less creative in developing their ability to collaborate vocabulary into other words that have different meanings because the source of information is only for teachers and LKS books. Introducing vocabulary alone is not enough to complete Arabic lessons, but by training students continuously, by means of repetition to facilitate the vocabulary that has been learned, after learning students who are drilled to translate the text that has been learned and translated in correct sentences, both in the form of speech and writing. So, in learning Arabic through this mufrodat drill method students are required to be more active and make students successful during the learning process.
