Authors: Azhari Nor Aziatul Azidah , Shamsudin Rosnah , Kasim Susilawati , Anuar Mohd Shamsul
Published: October 2023

Azolla pinnata is a small floating plant that is rich in protein and other nutrients and is suitable for livestock feed. Drying is one of the traditional techniques to preserve food to stay longer in shelf life, besides it is the easiest way and can help in maintaining the properties of the plant or food. There is a lack of information on the physical properties of Azolla pinnata in powder condition. In this study, four different combinations of two drying methods using shade drying as a control variable and oven drying at different temperatures at 40oC, 50oC, and 60oC as the test variable on grinded and non-grinded Azolla were performed. The objective of the study was to determine the effects of different drying methods on the physical properties of Azolla powder containing either grinded or non-grinded Azolla. The results obtained of tapped density, bulk density, Carr's Index (CI), and Hausner ratio values were recorded in Table 1. Based on Table 1, the good value of powder flowability was determined by the values of CI and Hausner ratio. According to results obtained, oven drying at 50oC provided the most suitable drying method to be used because it provides good physical characteristics, especially for grinded Azolla powder.

Authors: - Niharika Kamble , - Sipika Swati
Published: October 2023

Introduction – Pregnancy is a complex phenomenon which includes physiological, psychological and social changes. RPL is a distressing condition that affects millions of women worldwide. RPL is defined as the loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation. RPL can be correlated with Putraghni Yonivyapada and Garbhastravi Vandhya explained in Ayurvedic classics. Aim- To evaluate the effect of Pre-conceptional Ayurvedic protocol in RPL with TORCH infection. Methodology – A female patient aged 32 years having previous history of two pregnancy loss visited in the OPD of PTSR department, ITRA Jamnagar on September 2022. She took allopathic medications for 1 year. Her investigation revealed positive TORCH Pannel test and follicular study showed oligo-ovulation. Pre-conceptional care plan includes Shodhana Chikitsa followed by Shamana Chikitsa. Result – After 4 months of pre-conceptional care she conceived without any complications. Now she is having healthy pregnancy of 7 Months 22 days. Discussion - Putraghni is a Yoniroga characterised by repeated pregnancy losses due to the excessive use of Rooksha Ahara and Vihara which leads to Vata Prakopa further causing Shonita Dushti and Artava Dushti which in turn results in repeated loss of pregnancy. The overall TORCH infection positivity rate was 61.1%. Pre-conceptional care plays important role to stabilizing the previous disease conditions, to prevent any reproductive disease and to ensure that women enter pregnancy with optimal state of health which would be safe for both fetus and her.

Published: October 2023

Previous studies pointed out the decline of volunteers in probation supervision and with an alarming increase of non-participatory volunteers in the fulfillment of their tasks. Hence, the researcher was motivated to conduct a study in the province of Ilocos Norte, Philippines to determine the level of Volunteer Probtion Assistants (VPAs) awareness relative to their functions, and to understand VPAs experiences in performing their sworn duties. The descriptive type of research was used in this study employing quantitative cross-sectional survey through a questionnaire survey checklist and a qualitative in-depth interview approach. Findings showed that VPAs are knowledgeable with their roles as direct supervisor and as a resource individual as they worked collaboratively work with Probation Officers (POs). Further VPAs and POs have maintained a good working relationship as partners in ensuring clients’ holistic reformation and rehabilitation. Volunteers asserted that VPA program creates both opportunities and challenges. It was stated that there were challenges to one's biases, uncooperative clients, and client threats. On the other hand, helping POs in providing the needed information, improvement of social and leadership skills, and a good venue of extending public service were emphasized. Therefore, VPAs play a vital role in the successful reintegration and rehabilitation of clients, and that they are an important asset to DOJ-PPA not only as community resources but also as a force-multipliers towards monitoring of clients, which is impossible to perform with the limited number of POs.

Authors: - Ishan Barotra , - Brahmjeet Atrish
Published: October 2023

SPENs are commonly observed in women in their 20s and 30s with < 10% of SPEN occurring in men(10:1).
It is commonly found incidentally in asymptomatic patients undergoing abdominal imaging. SPEN is commonly found in the tail of the pancreas and sometimes in the head of the pancreas, but there are reports of the occurrence of SPEN even in other parts of the pancreas. It presents with abdominal pain or intra-abdominal mass effects such as abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, early satiety, or weight loss in symptomatic patients.
SPEN have very low malignant potential (10–15%), but the following tumor characteristics suggest malignancy: capsular invasion, high expression of Ki-67 on immunohistochemistry, cellular pleomorphism, and high nuclear grade. It usually has a good prognosis following surgical resection.
Malignant SPN is reported more commonly in the second to fifth decades of life and is typically seen in tumors measuring 6 cm or more.
SPN metastasis is most commonly seen in the liver and less commonly in the lymph nodes and peritoneum.
A Physiological Review on Dhatu Kshaya Vriddhi in Ayurveda and Modern Perspective
Authors: - Dr Yamini Sahu , - Prof. (Dr.) Rajesh Kumar Sharma , - Dr. Dinesh Chandra Sharma
Published: October 2023

Saptadhatus are produced in a manner akin to a progressive evolutionary metamorphosis, starting with Rasa Dhatu (primary product of digested food), continuing with Rakta (blood tissue), Mamsa (muscle tissue), Meda (fat tissue), Asthi (bone tissue), Majja (bone marrow), and ending with Sukra Dhatu (reproductive fluids). Each Dhatu feeds the one above it, and they serve as the foundation for each. The meal maintains equilibrium among the continuously dwindling Dhatus. This indicates that the Dhatus are interconnected, with changes in one leading to changes in the other. This review's objective is to combine various sources and reach a shared understanding. The article offers a thorough understanding of the term Dhatu-kshaya or depletion and Dhatu vriddhi or growth.

Published: October 2023

Machine learning-based smart health prediction is a fast- expanding topic that has the potential to completely change how we identify and treat diseases. We can create systems that can accurately forecast a patient's risk of contracting a disease or their chance of responding to a particular treatment by utilizing machine learning algorithms to examine enormous quantities of medical data.Although they are still in the early stages of research, smart health prediction systems could have a significant influence on how medicine is practiced in the future. Systems for making smart predictions about a person's health have the potential to boost healthcare delivery's effectiveness and quality. We can put preventative measures in place to lower a patient's risk of contracting a disease by precisely anticipating the patient's risk. Smart health prediction systems can also be

used to pinpoint people who are most at risk for developing complications from an illness or who are most likely to have poor treatment outcomes. These data can be used to develop personalized treatment plans for patients.
Historical root and cultural context of Bhumij Tribal community in West Bengal and Jharkhand: An Ethnographic study
Authors: - Biswajit Goswami , - Swami Tattwasarananda
Published: October 2023

Abstract: The Bhumij tribes have a traditional identity with certain territories of community living, especially in West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Odisha. As per the 2011 census report, the total Bhumij population is 911,349. This study has been focused on the origin, historical roots, and cultural context of the Bhumij community. The study arises from the fact that Bhumij tradition and culture need to be preserved. Bhumij are highly influenced by Hindu culture and rituals, and their traditional culture has been rapidly changed. This study explores the Bhumijs’ dress code, food habits, birth, marriage, and death, as well as their religious beliefs and practices. This study was conducted in six districts in West Bengal and Jharkhand. The researcher applied the ethnographic method and used primary and secondary both sources of data. For the collection of data, participatory observation, interviews, and household surveys were used. Bhumijs’ are the fourth largest tribal community in West Bengal, but the acculturation process has been highly prevalent in Bhumij society. Due to the effects of acculturation, they have rapidly lost their own traditional culture and language.
Im Auge des Löwen: ikonologische Beobachtungen an frontalen Löwendarstellungen auf antiken Münzen
Authors: HAYMANN Florian
Published: October 2023

This article provides an overview of the most important coin types depicting frontal lions from the Greek Archaic period to the first century BC. The spear-biting lions are not included in this paper as they form the subject of a separate study. Starting from the ancient written tradition, explanations are offered based on the effect of the lion’s gaze, which is repeatedly mentioned in ancient texts. With the addition of the respective reverses and modes of representation, it is possible to identify references to religious cults: Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hera and Heracles. But rulers also used frontal lion images for specific purposes. To express the solar aspect of Apollo, frontality seemed the most appropriate. A particularly close connection between the lion and Loxías has been demonstrated for Rhegion. The example of Samos shows that an autocrat could choose the emblem of a “frontal lion’s head” – probably also to suggest solar qualities. Under Achaemenid influence however, the lion regularly became the victim of the ruler – albeit a particularly dangerous and fearsome one, which was emphasised through its frontality. The same goes for Lysimachus, whose choice of image is astonishingly close to Pliny’s reflex, which focuses entirely on the lion’s sight. It is also shown that lion masks are often associated with the deeds of Heracles, which also gave rise to other coin images in which the use of frontality brought special nuances of meaning, for example the illustration of special effort or a narrative connection between two coin images. In one case, a frontal lion leaping out of a rectangle was associated with the cult of Athena. Another group of frontal lions may have had an apotropaic-demonic character, mainly conveyed by the eyes fixed on the observer. Here we can see a connection with the Gorgoneion. As for the frequent image of devouring lions, a biblical source suggests that the animals were particularly irritable and dangerous during this process. Finally, it was recommended that lions and leopards should be carefully separated, with leopards being particularly suitable for depicting the ‘man-destroying’ god Dionysus in frontal perspective.
The Byzantine Lead Seals at the Pera Museum

Published: October 2023

The collection of lead seals of the Pera Museum consists of 17 unpublished pieces, except for three lead seals (nos.1, 8, and 10) which are dated from the second half of the 7th century to the 13th century. Ten of the seventeen Byzantine lead seals of the Pera Museum collection mention the dignities and the offices of their owners. These offices range from the lower rank of a simple notary (no. 5) up to the highest office of the emperor himself (no. 9). There is only one seal related to the ecclesiastical administration, issued by a bishop (no. 2). Noteworthy are the seals of Georgios (no. 6), who has the uniquely attested office of an imperial apothekarios, as well as the 11th-century seal of Pharasmanes Apokapes, member of a notable Byzantine family of Armenian origin, by whom no other seals have been published so far. Another group of seals consists of the specimens (nos. 11-14 and possibly also no. 17) where only the name or the surname of their owner is mentioned. All these pieces are dated to the period between the second half of the 11th century and the 13th century. In the collection, there are two more iconographic seals (nos. 15-16) depicting on both sides holy figures without any inscription that mentions their owner, and finally, an unidentified seal (no. 17) (dated to the end of the 11th century).
Physiognomy and Geosophy of Pergamon according to Aelius Aristeides
Authors: TOZAN Murat
Published: October 2023

Geographical depictions in ancient texts are often personal, biased, subjective, and sometimes imaginative. Therefore, the concept of geosophy coined by J. Kirtland Wright is important in terms of examining the geographical narratives and expressions in historical texts. According to him, geosophy is the study of geographical information in all respects and covers both true and false geographical ideas of all manner of people. Hence, Wright emphasizes that intuitive, imaginative and subjective thoughts are also valuable in geographical perception and should be taken into consideration. Examining all kinds of information related to the geographical perception in the texts from past to present brings the concept of geosophy closer to history as a discipline. In this study, physiognomic and geographical definitions of Aelius Aristeides, an orator and sophist of the 2nd century CE, about Pergamon, which is the most important ancient settlement of Kaikos Valley, and its surroundings are examined in terms of geosophical subjectivity and imagining categories. Thus, it is revealed that the examination of the narratives of ancient texts on terrestrial space from the geosophical point of view can offer new perspectives in studies on ancient history and historical geography.
The Power of Zeus Bronton: Notes on a New Miracle Narrative
Authors: CARBON Jan-mathieu
Published: October 2023

N. Eda Akyürek Şahin and Hüseyin Uzunoğlu have recently published an interesting dedica-tion to Zeus Bronton from the 2nd-3rd century A.D. in this journal (Gephyra 23, 2022, 119-120 no. 19, with phs.). Following an attempt to further elucidate the text, this inscription is here identified as a narrative account of the power of Zeus Bronton. While the inscription finds a place in a growing number of documents about the worship of this god in Phrygia Epiktetos, it also reveals important parallels with the so-called “confession stelai” from Lydia, though it comes from about 200 km away and employs somewhat different vocabulary. More broadly, I argue that the text is to be situated within a wider genre of miracle narrative or aretalogy that is particularly prominent in the epigraphic evidence from Anatolia, but far from unique to it.
Two New Inscriptions from Asarönü (Finike, Antalya)
Authors: WÖRRLE Michael , ONUR Fatih
Published: October 2023

The first part of this article deals with a Severan family monument from Asarönü: Statue bases of father (new) and mother (first published in 1991), erected by their sons in the local sanctuary of Apollo, show important public functions of the elite family in Limyra: local priesthood to the emperors, organisation of sitonia, embassies to the emperors in Rome and Britain, and in the Lycian Confederacy: priesthood to the Roma. The second chapter presents a fragmentary stele from the same sanctuary of Apollo (3rd century B.C.): Asarönü, then still an autonomous polis, was incorporated into the polis of Limyra as a dependent community with the rank and function of a peripolion under the Rhodian occupation of Lycia (188-167 B.C.). The appendix presents a fragmentary Late Hellenistic inscription from Limyra, which informs about the strategia, the division of the official year into two hexamenoi, and the Apolloneioi as Asarönü’s ‘demotikon’ in Limyra.

Fingerprints are considered as the best tool of identification of a person. Fingerprint evidence is by far the mosteffective and reliable evidence in the court of law. The reason being fingerprint pattern persist same throughoutthe life and no two individual has similar pattern. Both blood group and dermatoglyphic pattern have geneticinheritance so an attempt has been made to analyze their correlation with gender and blood group of an individual.The objective of the study was to determine correlation (if any) between the fingerprint pattern, blood group andgender. The study was conducted on 150 students (88 males and 62 females) in the age group of 18-25 years.The fingerprint pattern of the study participants was compared with the gender and ABO-Rh blood group aftertaking their Informed written consent. Amongst ABO blood group, the most common blood group was O (40%),followed by B (35.33%), A (19.33%) and AB (5.34%). Rh + ve was the most common rhesus factor (97.33%). The loopwas the most common pattern (69.14%), followed by whorl (26.06%) and arch (4.80%). Frequency of loops werehighest in both the Rh-positive and Rh- negative subjects of ABO blood groups except O -ve blood group wherewhorls dominate. Loops are maximum seen in blood group B while whorls are more common in blood groupO and arches with blood group A. The present study confirms that loop is the most common type of fingerprintpattern while arch was the least common. The study revealed significant association between the Fingerprintpattern, Gender and ABO blood group.

Published: October 2023

The soil is a crucial resource in many criminal trials and the same has received a recent research approach inrecent years, with numerous groups researching with objectives that allow for improved differentiation of soilprofiles. This investigation was conducted in 2022-2023 with the objective of assessment of soil characterizationfrom several areas in Sultanpur City, Uttar Pradesh. The primary goal of this study was to conduct a quantitativeanalysis of the samples using physical, chemical, microscopic and instrumental examination techniques. The soilsamples were collected from a depth of 0-15 cm and after analysing the samples, it was found that the colour of thesoil varies according to its composition. Soil features like texture, stickiness, plasticity, density, pH, and percentageof soluble sulphate were examined using different physical and chemical tests. Soil texture was classified underthe sandy clay loam category and stickiness and plasticity were measured to be less, medium or more. The soildensity ranged from 1.794 g/cm3 to 2.479 g/cm3. The pH of the soil samples was overall acidic, ranging from6.27 - 7.77. The percentage of soluble sulphate in soil varied from 0.11184 - 0.0864.A stereo microscope was used toobserve the granular and prismatic structures of soil samples. Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) was usedfor quantitative analysis of soil samples to measure the amount of trace elements present in the soil. The studyresults showed that each soil sample varied from another and the parameters used for soil profiling helped in thedifferentiation of these soil samples. The results from this study can be helpful in preparing soil which can furtherassist the forensic scientists in their investigations related to soil as evidence.
Multiscale modelling for biomolecular corona formation on metallic surfaces
Authors: Mosaddeghi Amini Parinaz , Rouse Ian , Subbotina Julia , Lobaskin Vladimir
Published: October 2023

Background: In the realm of food industry, the choice of non-consumable materials used plays a crucial role in ensuring consumer safety and product quality. Aluminum is widely used in food packaging and food processing applications, including dairy products. However, the interaction between aluminum and milk content requires further investigation to understand its implications.

Results: In this work, we present the results of multiscale modeling of the interaction between various surfaces (100,110,111) of FCC aluminum with the most abundant milk proteins and lactose. Our approach combines atomistic molecular dynamics, a coarse grained United Atom (UA) model, and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations to predict the protein corona composition in the deposited milk layer on aluminum surfaces. We consider a simplified model of the milk, which was composed of the six most abundant milk proteins found in natural cow milk and lactose, which is the most abundant sugar found in dairy. Through our study, we ranked selected proteins and lactose adsorption affinities based on their corresponding interaction strength with aluminum surfaces and predicted the content of the naturally forming biomolecular corona.

Conclusion: Our comprehensive investigation sheds light on the implications of aluminum in food processing and packaging, particularly concerning its interaction with the most abundant milk proteins and lactose. By employing a multiscale modeling approach, we simulated the interaction between metallic aluminum surfaces and the proteins and lactose, considering different crystallographic orientations. The results of our study provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of lactose and proteins deposition on aluminum surfaces, which can aid in the general understanding of protein corona formation.

Published: October 2023

This project is regarding the development of a mobile application for rental equipment for UiTM Shah Alam Malay and Bumiputera students. The reason for the development of this project is to help the Malay and Bumiputera students to rent items and equipment they needed. Based on the previous study, most students in UiTM Shah Alam are those who have financial problems and came from a low-income family or household, known as B40. Therefore, this mobile application for rental equipment would be able to solve problems such as the inability in buying new items and belongings (or equipment). In some cases, students are required to have specific items to attend a one-time event without overspending and are unable to explore new hobbies due to financial limitations. As such, this project aims to develop an Android-based mobile application called Rent2U that can help UiTM Shah Alam students, especially those who come from a B40 family to rent items, and equipment they needed. The objectives of this project are to identify the requirements, to design and develop the equipment rental mobile applications for UiTM Shah Alam students. The chosen methodology for the development of this mobile application is Mobile Application Development Lifecycle (MADLC) and covered up until the testing phase only. The outcome of this project is the mobile application for rental equipment, which has features like geolocation to find nearby items and equipment for rentals, a search function to find items and equipment and push notifications to alert the users about the listings that have been created by them for rental. Hence, the significance of this project is that it can help the students in need to rent and lend items and equipment by providing them a platform to lend their belongings, and at the same time be able to rent items and equipment they like or need. For future enhancements, this application may include a variety of options for the users to pay such as online banking, and credit card, among others. In addition, this application may also include goods and equipment verification to avoid renting any dangerous items.

Efforts to improve the welfare and independence of Krama Desa Adat through increasing the role of traditional villages are very appropriate, especially in Bali. Based on the Regional Regulation of Bali Province Number 4 of 2019 concerning Customary Villages, Sesetan Traditional Village manages its land assets through the independence of indigenous village communities with the aim of forming a legal forum in the form of providing legal certainty for efforts to develop Small and Medium Enterprises in empowering customary village land assets. Based on the above, the main problems studied in this study can be formulated, namely: How to improve village land management to create multi-management to empower indigenous peoples' businesses to achieve independent customary villages. The method used in this study is the Empirical method. For the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises in the Legality of Land Asset Management, the Village uses the purpose of access reform conceptualized by Tri Hita Karana in managing access reform which aims to prosper indigenous peoples and relieve the community in carrying out these customs. Focusing on empowering access reform with the concept of Tri Hita Karana in preserving the surrounding environment.
Mitigating Worst-case Exozodiacal Dust Structure in High-contrast Images of Earth-like Exoplanets

Detecting Earth-like exoplanets in direct images of nearby Sun-like systems brings a unique set of challenges that must be addressed in the early phases of designing a space-based direct imaging mission. In particular, these systems may contain exozodiacal dust, which is expected to be the dominant source of astrophysical noise. Previous work has shown that it may be feasible to subtract smooth, symmetric dust from observations; however, we do not expect exozodiacal dust to be perfectly smooth. Exozodiacal dust can be trapped into mean-motion resonances with planetary bodies, producing large-scale structures that orbit in lock with the planet. This dust can obscure the planet, complicate noise estimation, or be mistaken for a planetary body. Our ability to subtract these structures from high-contrast images of Earth-like exoplanets is not well understood. In this work, we investigate exozodi mitigation for Earth–Sun-like systems with significant mean-motion resonant disk structures. We find that applying a simple high-pass filter allows us to remove structured exozodi to the Poisson noise limit for systems with inclinations <60° and up to 100 zodis. However, subtracting exozodiacal disk structures from edge-on systems may be challenging, except for cases with densities <5 zodis. For systems with three times the dust of the solar system, which is the median of the best fit to survey data in the habitable zones of nearby Sun-like stars, this method shows promising results for mitigating exozodiacal dust in future Habitable Worlds Observatory observations, even if the dust exhibits significant mean-motion resonance structure.

We present an analysis of the effects of uncertainties in the atmosphere models on the radius, mass, and other neutron star parameter constraints for the NICER observations of rotation-powered millisecond pulsars. To date, NICER has applied the X-ray pulse profile modeling technique to two millisecond-period pulsars: PSR J0030+0451 and the high-mass pulsar PSR J0740+6620. These studies have commonly assumed a deep-heated, fully ionized hydrogen atmosphere model, although they have explored the effects of partial ionization and helium composition in some cases. Here, we extend that exploration and also include new models with partially ionized carbon composition, externally heated hydrogen, and an empirical atmospheric beaming parameterization to explore deviations in the expected anisotropy of the emitted radiation. None of the studied atmosphere cases have any significant influence on the inferred radius of PSR J0740+6620, possibly due to its X-ray faintness, tighter external constraints, and/or viewing geometry. In the case of PSR J0030+0451, both the composition and ionization state could significantly alter the inferred radius. However, based on the evidence (prior predictive probability of the data), partially ionized hydrogen and carbon atmospheres are disfavored. The difference in the evidence for ionized hydrogen and helium atmospheres is too small to be decisive for most cases, but the inferred radius for helium models trends to larger sizes around or above 14–15 km. External heating or deviations in the beaming that are less than 5% at emission angles smaller than 60°, on the other hand, have no significant effect on the inferred radius.

Lyα emission from galaxies can be used to trace neutral hydrogen in the epoch of reionization, however, there is a degeneracy between the attenuation of Lyα in the intergalactic medium (IGM) and the line profile emitted by the galaxy. Large shifts of Lyα redward of systemic due to scattering in the interstellar medium can boost Lyα transmission in the IGM during reionization. The relationship between the Lyα velocity offset from systemic and other galaxy properties is not well established at high redshift or low luminosities, due to the difficulty of observing emission lines which trace the systemic redshift. Rest-frame optical spectroscopy with JWST/NIRSpec has opened a new window into understanding Lyα at z > 3. We present a sample of 12 UV-faint galaxies (−20 ≲ M
UV ≲ −16) at 3 ≲ z ≲ 6, with Lyα velocity offsets, Δv
Lyα
, measured from the Very Large Telescope/MUSE and JWST/NIRSpec from the GLASS-JWST Early Release Program. We find a median Δv
Lyα
of 205 km s−1 and standard deviation of 75 km s−1, compared to 320 and 170 km s−1, respectively, for M
UV < −20 galaxies in the literature. Our new sample demonstrates the previously observed trend of decreasing Lyα velocity offset with decreasing UV luminosity and optical line velocity dispersion, which extends to M
UV ≳ −20, consistent with a picture where the Lyα profile is shaped by gas close to the systemic redshift. Our results imply that during reionization Lyα from UV-faint galaxies will be preferentially attenuated, but that detecting Lyα with low Δv

The dominant form of oxygen in cold molecular clouds is gas-phase carbon monoxide (CO) and ice-phase water (H2O). Yet, in planet-forming disks around young stars, gas-phase CO and H2O are less abundant relative to their interstellar medium values, and no other major oxygen-carrying molecules have been detected. Some astrochemical models predict that gas-phase molecular oxygen (O2) should be a major carrier of volatile oxygen in disks. We report a deep search for emission from the isotopologue 16O18O (N

J
= 21 − 01 line at 233.946 GHz) in the nearby protoplanetary disk around TW Hya. We used imaging techniques and matched filtering to search for weak emission but do not detect 16O18O. Based on our results, we calculate upper limits on the gas-phase O2 abundance in TW Hya of (6.4–70) × 10−7 relative to H, which is 2–3 orders of magnitude below solar oxygen abundance. We conclude that gas-phase O2 is not a major oxygen carrier in TW Hya. Two other potential oxygen-carrying molecules, SO and SO2, were covered in our observations, which we also do not detect. Additionally, we report a serendipitous detection of the C15N N

J
= 25/2 − 13/2 hyperfine transitions, F = 3 − 2 and F = 2 − 1, at 219.9 GHz, which we found via matched filtering and confirm through imaging.
