On super-exponential divergence of periodic points for partially hyperbolic systems
Authors: Li Xiaolong , Shinohara Katsutoshi
Published: November 2021

We say that a diffeomorphism \begin{document}$ f $\end{document} is super-exponentially divergent if for every \begin{document}$ b>1 $\end{document} the lower limit of \begin{document}$ \#\mbox{Per}_n(f)/b^n $\end{document} diverges to infinity, where \begin{document}$ \mbox{Per}_n(f) $\end{document} is the set of all periodic points of \begin{document}$ f $\end{document} with period \begin{document}$ n $\end{document}. This property is stronger than the usual super-exponential growth of the number of periodic points. We show that for any \begin{document}$ n $\end{document}-dimensional smooth closed manifold \begin{document}$ M $\end{document} where \begin{document}$ n\ge 3 $\end{document}, there exists a non-empty open subset \begin{document}$ \mathcal{O} $\end{document} of \begin{document}$ \mbox{Diff}^1(M) $\end{document} such that diffeomorphisms with super-exponentially divergent property form a dense subset of \begin{document}$ \mathcal{O} $\end{document} in the \begin{document}$ C^1 $\end{document}-topology. A relevant result about the growth rate of the lower limit of the number of periodic points for diffeomorphisms in a \begin{document}$ C^r $\end{document}-residual subset of \begin{document}$ \mbox{Diff}^r(M)\ (1\le r\le \infty) $\end{document} is also shown.

Published: November 2021

Social media has become part of daily life in the modern world. News media companies (NMC) use social network sites including Facebook pages to let net users keep updated. Public expression is important to NMC for making valuable journals, but it is not cost-effective to collect millions of feedback by human effort, which can instead be automated by sentiment analysis. This chapter presents a mobile application called Facemarize that summarizes the contents of news media Facebook pages using sentiment analysis. The sentiment of user comments can be quickly analyzed and summarized with emotion detection. The sentiment analysis achieves an accuracy of over 80%. In a survey with 30 participants including journalists, journalism students, and journalism graduates, the application gets at least 4.9 marks (in a 7-point Likert scale) on the usefulness, ease of use, ease of learning, and satisfaction with a mean reliability score of 3.9 (out of 5), showing the effectiveness of the application.

Neglected rural communities in Latin America are highly vulnerable to COVID-19 due to a poor health infrastructure and limited access to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) diagnosis. Manabí is a province of the Coastal Region of Ecuador characterized by a high prevalence of rural population living under poverty conditions. In the current study, we present the retrospective analysis of the results of a massive SARS-CoV-2 testing operation in nonhospitalized populations from Manabí carried out from August to September 2020. A total of 4,003 people from 15 cantons were tested for SARS-CoV-2 by reverse-transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction, resulting in an overall infection rate of 16.13% for SARS-CoV-2, with several communities > 30%. Moreover, 29 SARS-CoV-2 super-spreader community-dwelling individuals with viral loads above 108 copies/mL were found. These results support that uncontrolled COVID-19 community transmission was happening in Manabí during the first semester of COVID-19 pandemic. This report endorses the utility of massive SARS-CoV-2 testing among asymptomatic population for control and surveillance of COVID-19.

Published: November 2021

This study examined content of YouTube videos on cassava production and processing posted in Nigeria between 2009 and 2019. Purposive sampling method was used in selecting 155 YouTube videos with cassava production and processing contents. Primary data on video source, content, duration, quality, number of views, subscribers, likes, comments, presentation format and year of upload were obtained by watching these videos. Data were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, means, standard deviation. Many (53.5%) of the videos were on processing of cassava, while most (80.0%) of the videos were relatively recent (2014 - 2019). Private individuals (38.7%) and media houses (34.2%) were the main sources of videos on cassava production and processing on YouTube. The major content of the video was on agronomic practices in cassava production (12.9%) and value addition (11.0%). Also, 66.0% of the videos had video description (descriptive texts), 36.8% had mobilizing information while 52.3% had a video quality of 720p. Furthermore, 72.9% of the videos had between 1-to-7-minute runtime and these videos had more likes than dislikes with mean values of 92.8 and 5.6 respectively. The mean number of views, subscribers and comments were 11,138.1, 179,537.6 and 13.6, respectively. The presentation patterns in the videos were in form of news (24.5%) and documentary (20.0%). YouTube videos on cassava production and processing were well viewed with a substantial number of subscribers. More YouTube videos on cassava production and processing should be produced with varied contents by different stakeholders in the agricultural sector.
Asiatic acid exerts neuroprotective effect against hypoxicischemic brain injury in neonatal rats via inhibition of oxidative damage
Authors: Wang Ying , Wang Huiping , Zhao Pu , Cheng Jiwen , Gong Wei , Zhang Juan
Published: November 2021

Purpose: To investigate the effect of asiatic acid on hypoxic ischemia-induced injury in neonatal rats, and the underlying mechanism of action.Methods: Hypoxic-ischemia (HI) neonatal rat model was established via permanent ligation of the carotid artery, followed by hypoxia (exposure to 8 % oxygen and 92 % nitrogen) for 24 h. Immunofluorescence, using fluorescence microscope, was used for the determination of expressions of p-TAK1, NeuN and GFAP. Western blotting was used for assaying protein expression levels, while TUNEL assay was employed for the measurement of apoptosis.Results: Treatment of rats with asiatic acid prior to HI effectively prevented up-regulation of pTAK1 and decreased the count of p-TAK1-containing astrocytes. The proportion of NeuN containing p-TAK1 in HI rat brain cortex was significantly reduced by asiatic acid (p < 0.05). Treatment of rats with asiatic acid suppressed HI- induced up-regulation of pJNK expression. The HI-induced increase in the expression levels of caspase-3, p53 and p-c-Jun in rat brain cortex were reversed by asiatic acid (p < 0.05). The HImediated up-regulation of expressions of p- JNK, caspase-3, p53 and p-c-Jun in rat brain cortex were inhibited significantly by NG25. Asiatic acid treatment also significantly alleviated HI-mediated increase in apoptosis of neurons in rat brain cortex, when compared to model group (p < 0.05).Conclusion: These findings suggest that asiatic acid prevents HI-induced brain injury in neonatal rats via inhibition of neuronal apoptosis. Moreover, it inhibits TAK1 activation, suppresses p-JNK expression and targets pro-apoptotic factors in brain cortex. Therefore, asiatic acid may be a therapeutic agent for the management of HI-induced brain injury.

Purpose: To evaluate the antimicrobial and anticancer activities of the fruit of Synsepalum dulcificum (Sapotaceae) against six bacterial strains and on two different colorectal cancer cell lines, respectively.Methods: The dried fruit of the plant was extracted in a Soxhlet apparatus successively with petroleum ether and ethanol, and concentrated in a rotary evaporator to obtain petroleum ether and ethanol extract, respectively. Phytochemical screening was done on the two extracts. The antimicrobial effects of the extracts against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogene, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus vulgaris were evaluated using agar well diffusiontechnique while the anticancer effect of the ethanol extract was assessed on HCT-116 and primary colon epithelial (PCE) cell lines by MTT assay.Results: The results indicate that the petroleum ether extract of Synsepalum dulcificum fruits exerted stronger antimicrobial activity than the ethanol extract. The ethanol extract also showed significant anticancer activity (p < 0.05). The calculated half-maximal concentration (IC50) of the extract on HCT- 116 cells at 24, 48, and 72 h are 14.99, 8.97, and 8.54 μg/mL, respectively, while the IC50 of the extract on PCE cell lines at 24, 48, and 72 h are 236.25, 206.09, and 196.72 μg/mL, respectively. The extract was more toxic to cancer cells than to normal cells.Conclusion: The results of this study lend some justification for the use of the fruits of Synsepalum dulcificum as an antibacterial and anticancer agent.
Dioscorea deltoidei (Dioscoreaceae) leaf extract exerts anti-atherosclerotic effect in rats via down-regulation of phosphorylated JAK/STAT
Authors: Tian Huawei , Li Yuping , Zhang Jun
Published: November 2021

Purpose: To investigate the effect of leaf extract of Dioscorea deltoidea (Dioscoreaceae) leaf (DDE) on atherosclerosis-induced aorta wall damage in a rat model, and the underlying mechanism of action.Methods: Rats were fed high-fat diet containing vitamin D2 for 16 weeks to induce atherosclerosis. Histopathological changes in the aorta were examined using hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining, while ELISA kits were used to measure cytokine levels.Results: Treatment with DDE significantly (p < 0.05) alleviated atherosclerosis-induced increase in mean lesion area in the rat aorta. The mean lesion area in atherosclerotic rats was decreased to 51.5, 21.2 and 2.3 mm2, on treatment with DDE at doses of 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg, respectively. Furthermore, DDE significantly suppressed atherosclerosis-induced elevation in IL-1β and IL-6 levels in the rat aorta (p < 0.05). The levels of MCP-1 and TNF-α decreased in the artherosclerotic rats on treatment with DDE. In DDE-treated rats, the atherosclerosis-induced increase in the levels of Ang II, AT1, AT2, p-STAT3, p-p65 and p-p38 were significantly decreased, relative to the model group (p < 0.05). However, DDE treatment did not alter the levels of total STAT3, p65 and p38 in the rat aorta tissues.Conclusion: These results indicate that DDE inhibits inflammatory response and atherosclerosisinduced damage to aorta wall. Moreover, RAAS expression, inflammatory cytokines and JAK/STAT signalling pathway were down-regulated in atherosclerotic rats on treatment with DDE. Thus, DDE may be a potential source of drug for the management of atherosclerosis.
Znalezisko olbijskiego „asa” w Ostroladowiczach na Białorusi

A cast bronze coin belonging to the 2nd series of the Olbian “asses,” dated to the second half of the 5th century BC, is included in the collections of the Jagiellonian University Museum. The coin was probably added to the university collection in 1871, as a gift of Baron Edward Rastawiecki (1805–1874) for the archaeological unit. According to the donor, the “as” was found during the excavation of a barrow in the village of Ostrohladovich in Minsk province – currently Astrahlady/Astrahliady/Ostrogliade (Belarusian Астрагля́ды, Russian Острогляды) in Belarus in the Gomel region, in the Brahin district. In the first millennium BC this area was occupied by the Miłograd culture. Finds of coins produced in Olbia, in particular the Olbian “asses,” have not been recorded outside the Black Sea region until recently. In recent years, however, finds of early Olbian coins (known as “dolphins” and “asses”) have been recorded in the forest-steppe zone. These new discoveries give credence to the finding of the “as” from Ostrohladovich. The coin arrived in the area of the Miłograd culture probably via the Scythians.

Najbardziej intymna tęsknota – Polska w korespondencji Józefa Czapskiego
Authors: Bielak Agnieszka
Published: November 2021

Artykuł porusza zagadnienie patriotycznej postawy Czapskiego w świetle jego osobistej korespondencji. Jako kontekst wykorzystano wywiady, zapisy dziennikowe i ese­istykę artysty. Głęboko uwewnętrznione poczucie polskości w przypadku Czapskiego było świadomym i konsekwentnie realizowanym wyborem, mimo wielu innych możliwości rysu­jących się przed potomkiem arystokratycznej rodziny o bogatych europejskich koligacjach. Listy do różnych adresatów pokazują z jednej strony silny emocjonalny związek z Polską, dodatkowo wzmocniony emigracyjnym, wygnańczym oddaleniem i pamięcią o tych, którzy jej poświęcili życie (Katyń), z drugiej zaś – niemal pozytywistyczne zaangażowanie w służbie paryskiej „Kulturze” rozumianej jako praca na rzecz Kraju. The Most Intimate Longing – Poland in the Correspondence of Józef Czapski The article discusses Józef Czapski’s patriotism as reflected in his correspondence. The appropriate context is provided with the use of the artist’s interviews, journal entries, and essays. In Czapski’s case, his deeply internalised sense of Polishness was a conscious and consistently implemented choice, taken despite the fact that many other doors were open to the heir to an aristocratic family with broad European connections. Letters written by Czapski to various people show, on the one hand, a strong emotional bond with Poland, ad­ditionally strengthened by the distance forced by emigration and exile and by the memory of those who gave their lives for the country (Katyn), and on the other hand – almost positivist involvement in the service to the Paris-based “Kultura”, seen as working for the benefit of the homeland.
GİRİŞİMCİLİĞİN İHRACATA ETKİSİ: BİR YATAY-KESİT REGRESYON ANALİZİ
Authors: KARAGÖZ Kadir
Published: November 2021

İhracat kazançları gerek yüksek gerekse düşük gelirli ülkeler açısından ekonomik büyümeyi sağlamada önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. İhracat, döviz rezervi hacmi ve ulusal refah seviyesi üzerinde olumlu bir etkiye sahip olduğu gibi verimlilik ve istihdam artışı yoluyla millî sanayinin gelişmesine katkıda da bulunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, ihracatın ulusal ekonomi açısından önemine dair önceki araştırmalar daha ziyade köklü firmalar ve büyük çokuluslu şirketler üzerine odaklanmakta, yeni kurulan firmaların uluslararası piyasalardaki rolünü gözardı etmektedirler. Bu çalışmada, bir ülkenin girişimcilik düzeyi ile ihracat performansı arasındaki ilişki incelenerek bu konudaki boşluğu bir ölçüde gidermeye gayret edilmektedir.

119 ülkenin dahil edildiği yatay-kesit regresyon analizinden elde edilen bulgulara göre doğrudan yabancı yatırım girişleri, kişi başına gelir düzeyi, sermaye stoku, ithalat hacmi, sanayi üretimi ve internet kullanım yaygınlığı ülkenin ihracat oranı üzerinde anlamlı etkiye sahiptir. Ancak bazı katsayıların işaretleri beklentiyle uyuşmamaktadır. Diğer taraftan, çalışmanın asıl üzerinde odaklandığı girişimcilik düzeyinin ihracat performansını anlamlı bir şekilde etkilemediği görülmüştür. Bu sonuç, girişimcilik göstergesi olarak kullanılan değişkenin yeni kurulan girişimleri kapsaması, bu firmaların da daha ziyade iç piyasaya dönük üretim yapmalarıyla açıklanabilir. Ayrıca, ülkeler arası nötrleştirme etkisi ve girişimcilik tipinin de etkili olduğu söylenebilir.

Published: November 2021

In the present work, we measured breakdown and extinction curves of radio-frequency discharge in acetylene as well as dependences of active current, power and gas pressure on the discharge burning time, and also optical emission spectra. It was found that in the region of low acetylene pressures (to the left of the minimum of the breakdown curve), the discharge can cover only a part of the electrode surface. Immediately after the ignition of the discharge, due to the intense deposition of the polymer film and the formation of dust particles in the plasma volume, the gas pressure decreases sharply (by the factor of 2-5), while the active current and power increase and then reach saturation. In the discharge with intense polymerization, the lines of atomic and molecular hydrogen dominate in the emission spectrum of the discharge. The film deposited on the surface of the electrodes and the tube walls, as well as the dust particles formed, are amorphous, the maximum peak of XRD spectrum is observed at 2θ = 18°, and the light absorption by the deposited films is highest at 440 nm wavelength.

Published: November 2021

La Cuasiresonancia en los sistemas dinámicos, del tipo Oscilador Mecánico, se presenta cuando la frecuencia del sistema en estudio está “muy próxima” a la frecuencia de la señal de excitación. En estos casos la respuesta presenta la forma de una señal modulada en amplitud (AM) formada por una portadora y un mensaje. Es importante conocer tanto la frecuencia como el período de éstas señales para efecto de tomar previsiones cuando equipo mecánico o construcciones, como puentes o edificios,  estén expuestos a esta clase de eventos y así evitar daños cuyas consecuencias tanto en vidas humanas como económicas llegan a ser catastróficas. En este artículo presentamos el procedimiento para obtener el valor de estos parámetros.

Cuba es uno de los países que más ha trabajado en la construcción de una herramienta metodológica, lo cual permite la identificación, la divulgación de la vida y obra de grandes figuras de alcance nacional e internacional. Los autores estudiados coinciden con el enfoque historiográfico aplicado en sus investigaciones en cambio los investigadores cubanos consideran el enfoque histórico-lógico.
The Design of Augmented Reality-Based Synectic Model Device in Writing Short Stories
Authors: Damayanti Deasy Aditya , Nurwahidah Lina Siti , Hamdani Agus , Hasim Abdul
Published: November 2021

A Short story is a miniature of people's experience while the characters, plot, and setting aim to record imaginative events (Stanton, 2017). When making up story ideas, students have problems developing story facts such as plot, characters, and settings (Sayuti, 2006). This barrier emerged conflicts that were unevenly distributed across all stages of the course. The direct characterization employed in storytelling made the short stories less varied. The physical and setting depicted did not work out optimally. The advantage of using the synectic model is that it can allow students to look for and makeup concepts to describe objects through an analogy process. Augmented Reality allows users to interact with an object's interface and see it in a well-designed and attractive 3D format, so it can solve student difficulties in developing story ideas in writing short stories

Published: November 2021

Diante do novo contexto sociotécnico em que algoritmos e dados configuram novas formas de controle social, a pesquisa propõe-se a investigar o modo como sistemas informáticos em rede têm servido como método multifacetado de categorização e classificação social. Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo explorar a temática dos algoritmos em bancos de imagens digitais, buscando compreender de que maneira tais tecnologias produzem resultados racistas. A metodologia de pesquisa empregada consiste basicamente na análise dos resultados oferecidos pelos bancos de imagens escolhidos (Getty Images, Shutterstock e Stockphotos) para a busca por uma palavra-chave genérica (family), no intuito de observar o modo como os resultados são racializados pelos algoritmos de busca. Os resultados indicam que o conteúdo oferecido pelos bancos de imagens costuma ser racializados, privilegiando a representação da branquitude como lugar de centralidade que reduz a multiplicidade de subjetividades e existências, traduzindo-se como significante universal. Assim, em termos exploratórios, é possível afirmar que os processos e rotinas produtivas mediadas por algoritmos cumprem, em larga medida, um papel fundamental na produção de resultados racistas nos bancos de imagens analisados.

We propose an optical scheme of a telescope with a field of view of 3.75 ◦ and 30 cm aperture for the space system for observation of decameter size asteroids (the SODA project). The main distinctive feature of this telescope is a pre-aperture flat mirror that provides an observation area of 50 ◦ ×120 ◦ and a repointing time between the adjacent fields of less than 3 s. A modern CMOS detector with a small pixel is proposed. Observable sky area when using 2, 3 and 4 telescopes are described. The advantages and disadvantages of each option are briefly discussed.

Published: November 2021

The article discusses non-contact thermal imaging methods for determining diseases of biological objects: video digital identification and thermography. When studying inflammatory processes in the body of a biological object using thermograms, one should refuse to register only the native thermal picture, which is static, and it is imperative to assess its dynamics. If a series of thermograms shows local changes in the thermal picture in the form of an increase or decrease in infrared radiation in those areas and at the time that were supposed, only in this case it is possible to speak unambiguously about the objectivity of thermal imaging information. Creation of a methodology for the application of digital analysis of video profiles of the shape and ratio of the dimensions of an object, and comparison of the results with the thermographic picture of a thermal imaging image of a functional thermal imaging of thermograms in normal conditions and with inflammation in a biological object.

Усі суспільства шукають рецепт економічного зростання, намагаються застосовувати економічну політику та реформи, які принесли успіх іншим країнам. Проте, часто не отримують бажаного результату. Фактори, що забезпечили стійке та тривале зростання одним країнам, не є достатньо ефективними в інших країнах. Культурні цінності можуть сприяти соціально-економічному розвитку суспільства або гальмувати його. Ми робимо припущення, що культурні цінності та економічні результати суспільства мають взаємний двосторонній зв’язок. Культурні цінності формують траєкторію розвитку суспільства, і, водночас, самі змінюються під впливом соціально-економічного розвитку. Отже, важливо визначити які чинники можуть сприяти економічному зростанню, дослідити роль цінностей у формуванні ключових факторів добробуту суспільства.

Efectos de la musicoterapia como técnica terapéutica a distancia en pacientes oncológicos. Ensayo piloto con un modelo de música de carácter relajante
Authors: Casellas Marta , Segura Bernal Jordi , Andrés Clara , Berbel Pere , López Yngrid
Published: November 2021

Se conocen poco los efectos terapéuticos que tiene en el estado de ánimo escuchar música con finalidad terapéutica, en pacientes con cáncer. Se presenta un estudio piloto sobre musicoterapia en el que se aplica un protocolo de música de carácter relajante (MCR) a pacientes oncológicos heterogéneos en fase de seguimiento asistencial. El protocolo en intervención se ha aplicado en modalidad telemedicina (tele-health) y se ha comprobado su eficacia terapéutica. La intervención se ha realizado durante la crisis de la COVID-19. El objetivo principal es realizar el diseño definitivo del protocolo para que pueda ser utilizado con estos pacientes o con otros diagnósticos clínicos. Los resultados muestran que la capacidad de relajación mejora y que las respuestas emocionales negativas se alivian. Las respuestas cognitivas sugieren que la escucha musical mejora las emociones y las ideaciones positivas. Se sugiere que el uso del protocolo MCR en pacientes oncológicos puede tener efectos positivos, pues alivia el estado de ánimo negativo, y protege de la depresión o la ansiedad. Se revisa el protocolo, con las propuestas de mejora, y se sugiere ampliar y profundizar en las variables del contexto y del ambiente, así como en los aspectos de relación terapéutica entre el musicoterapeuta, el psicólogo clínico y el paciente.
NECESIDAD DE UNA REFORMA FISCAL MÁS EQUITATIVA EN REPUBLICA DOMINICANA PARA EL AÑO 2022
Authors: Santana Juan del Rosario
Published: November 2021

Este artículo tiene como objetivo examinar los factores y aspectos fundamentales de una reforma fiscal progresiva en la Republica Dominicana que grave a las grandes ganancias y que simplifique los procesos burocráticos de tributación. De igual manera se presentan algunas propuestas de aplicación de instrumentos que propicien una mayor equidad y progresividad en momentos en que los ingresos de las clases medias y empobrecidas del país han sido seriamente afectados como resultado de la parálisis del sistema productivo nacional provocado por la pandemia Covid-19. La metodología seguida para este trabajo consistió en un enfoque cualitativo lo que llevó a requerir un estudio descriptivo y comparado del objeto de investigación. Para el logro de estos propósitos, el autor se sustenta en estudios previos y en publicaciones de Organismos Oficiales nacionales e internacionales y publicaciones de expertos en el tema. Las principales conclusiones confirman que la presión tributaria en el país que actualmente es de un 14% del PIB sigue siendo una de las más bajas de la región de América Latina y Caribe y que los ingresos tributarios descansan fundamentalmente en los impuestos indirectos en un 60.7% según reporta la DGII. La conclusión es que resulta muy difícil que el proyecto de reforma fiscal que ha elaborado el gobierno dominicano en este año de 2021 sea progresivo y equitativo y podrá resultar en el pago de más impuestos por parte de los que menos tienen. Además, las nuevas figuras impositivas que se crearían tendrían, en el corto plazo un impacto poco significativo sobre las finanzas públicas. Las mismas podrían ser objeto de cuestionamiento por naciones con las cuales el país tiene acuerdos comerciales, principalmente Estados Unidos de América.
Delineation of discrete conduit networks in karst aquifers via combined analysis of tracer tests and geophysical data
Authors: Bodin Jacques , Porel Gilles , Nauleau Benoît , Paquet Denis
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Assessment of the karst network geometry based on field data is an important challenge in the accurate modeling of karst aquifers. In this study, we propose an integrated approach for the identification of effective three-dimensional (3D) discrete karst conduit networks conditioned on tracer tests and geophysical data. The procedure is threefold: i) tracer breakthrough curves (BTCs) are processed via a regularized inversion procedure to determine the minimum number of distinct tracer flow paths between injection and monitoring points, ii) available surface-based geophysical data and borehole-logging measurements are aggregated into a 3D proxy model of aquifer hydraulic properties, and iii) single or multiple tracer flow paths are identified through the application of an alternative shortest path (SP) algorithm to the 3D proxy model. The capability of the proposed approach to adequately capture the geometrical structure of actual karst conduit systems mainly depends on the sensitivity of geophysical signals to karst features, whereas the relative completeness of the identified conduit network depends on the number and spatial configuration of tracer tests. The applicability of the proposed approach is illustrated through a case study at the Hydrogeological Experimental Site (HES) in Poitiers, France.
Whole-rock and zircon evidence for evolution of the Late Jurassic high Sr/Y Zhoujiapuzi granite, Liaodong Peninsula, North China Craton

Published: November 2021

Abstract. Middle-Late Jurassic high Sr/Y granitic intrusions are extensively exposed in the Liaodong Peninsula, in the eastern part of the North China Craton (NCC). However, the genesis of the high Sr/Y signature in these intrusions has not been studied in detail. In this study, we report results of zircon U-Pb dating, Hf isotopic analysis and zircon and whole-rock geochemical data for the Late Jurassic Zhoujiapuzi granite in the middle part of the Liaodong Peninsula. The Zhoujiapuzi granite is high-K (calc-alkaline) and peraluminous in nature, with high SiO2 (68.1–73.0 wt %) and Al2O3 (14.5–16.8 wt %), low in TFe2O3 (1.10–2.49 wt %) and MgO (0.10–0.44 wt %), and with high Sr/Y (19.9–102.0) and LaN/YbN (14.59–80.40). Morphological and chemical studies on zircon grains show that there are two stages of zircon growth, interpreted as magmatic evolution in two distinct stages. The early stage of zircons (ESZ) reflects a crystallization environment of low oxygen fugacity and high TZr-Ti (Ti-in-zircon thermometer values: 669–792 °C); the late stage of zircons (LSZ) formed with high oxygen fugacity and lower TZr-Ti (498–720 °C). LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon dating yielded the formation ages of the ESZ and LSZ of ~162 ± 1 Ma and ~158 ± 1 Ma, respectively, with similar εHf(t) values in the range of &minus26.3– −22.8. Interpretation of the elemental and isotopic data suggests that the Zhoujiapuzi granite was a I-type granite derived from partial melting of basement in the region: ~2.17 Ga Liaoji granites. The high Sr/Y signature is most likely inherited from these source rocks. Based on the geochemical features and regional geological data, we propose that the Liaodong Peninsula in the Late Jurassic was part of a mature continental arc, with extensive melting of thick crust above the Paleo-Pacific subduction zone.

Man - "Debtor of the God"
Authors: Oragvelidze Eka
Published: November 2021

The main objecvtive of Davit Guramishvili's poetic work is getting to know one’s self. Thus, the author’s lyrical "I" is clearly visible in the poem. In order to get to know one’s self, meaning of the human existence needs to be explored. The image of God as well as the sinful nature has been inherited in the humankind.Christ has redeemed the humankind from the captivity of original sin, paying the "old debt". "Davitiani” is based on such Christian ideology. On the one hand, the poet notes that God undertook the obligation to save his creatures in the first place. At the same time, Davit Guramishvili believes that he is indebted to God as he is born as his image, in his likeness. The second reason behind man's duty to God is the redemption of sins and the restoration of damaged image. The New Testament has imposed a "new debt" on mankind.The main purpose of the "new man", which is deification, begins with the discovery of the likeness of God in himself, then - with repentance of the sins. At the end, the person on the path of personal perfection meets God.Davit Guramishvili's lyrical character also starts to strive for "deification". He regrets that he has been robbed of the light of the Lord. Like a sinful Adam he is dressed in leather, and deprived of the sun of paradise, is buried in the abyss of hell.Remembering the passion of the Savior on the cross is the duty of the Christian. He should sympathize with and mourn the martyrdom of Jesus with his own sins. The most ardent co-sufferer of the sufferings of Christ is the Mother of God. The poet's lyrical protagonist recalls the tragedy of Golgotha ​​and seems to feel the pain inflicted by the Lord’s wounds, expressing the communion of the sufferings of the Virgin. David Guramishvili, as a Christian author, thus becomes an accomplice of the Lord's passion.Such a principle of liturgical thinking in the work of David Guramishvili, first of all, relies on the idea of St. Paul the Apostle, according to which the man would gain life in Christ through crucifixion. Such a concept is also revealed in the old Georgian theological poetry. It is noteworthy that the poet's lyrical protagonist will also replace Adam and by considering his mourning as his own tragedy, he tries to establish a personal "I".The poet sympathizes with the Adam's sin. However, he rejoices by the fact that he is freed from the "old debt" and this time he feels a new duty towards the Savior, Christ. For Davit Guramishvili, the poetic path has become an arena of spiritual victory in order to get to know one’s self. Therefore he establishes a personal lyric based on liturgical consciousness. The poet, through his work, aims to glorify the Savior, express gratitude and love towards him and thus pay the "new debt“.
One agricultural holiday lost in time and space
Authors: Khachapuridze Ramaz
Published: November 2021

In the study of cultural history issues, some importance is attached to the study of ancient beliefs. Among such issues are the days-holidays of the folk agrarian calendar. Handicrafts in agriculture were the main source of material prosperity for the people, the prosperity of the country and the barracks. People used various means to protect Chirnakhuli, including spells. Their discussion shows that one of the ways in which our ancestors fought evil was to suppress the Avsuls, because they believed that failure in agriculture was caused by dark forces. Only the church continues the tradition and blesses the seeds to be sown in the field on the day of commemoration of Theodore Tyrone, unfortunately this is just a ritual that devastated agriculture can no longer use in practice.
