Analysis of the Assortability of Ophthalmologists for Choosing Therapy in the Framework of Routine Medical Care for Patients with Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG)
Authors: Vorobyeva I. V. , Frolov M. A. , Slonimskiy Yu. B.
Published: April 2022

Currently, there is a wide range of antiglaucoma drugs. Ophthalmologists are faced with the task of choosing certain drugs and their combinations for specific patients. In this regard, studies aimed at studying the effectiveness of treatment, not only in terms of IOP indicators and instrumental research methods, but also in terms of the choice of a particular type of therapy by ophthalmologists, are of great interest. Purpose: to analyze the data obtained in the course of the study of the Russian multicenter scientific program: “Analysis of the assortability of ophthalmologists when choosing therapy within the framework of routine medical care in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG)”. The large-scale statistical study carried out was based on the study of 197 medical questionnaires from 61 cities of Russia, containing information on 6851 clinical cases. Doctors were asked to fill out a questionnaire based on the results of treatment (at least 2 months), taking into account the following criteria: satisfaction with treatment, adherence to treatment, accessibility, tolerability and ease of use of drugs. Evaluated the use of 5 antiglaucoma drugs of the company Sentiss Russ, belonging to different pharmacological groups: Prolatan (latanoprost), Bimatan (bimatoprost), Brinex-M (brinzolamide); Tisoptan (bimatoprost / timolol maleate), Brinarga (brinzolamide / timolol maleate). During the study, patients were divided into 6 groups depending on the drug used, and also into 3 groups depending on the stage of primary POAG. The data obtained indicate a statically high level of average values when using the point system of all the above criteria when using these drugs. When analyzing the degree of convenience and the level of tolerance of drugs, a tendency towards a decrease in the average scores of these indicators in patients with advanced stage of glaucoma was noted, which may be due to the long-term use of antiglaucoma therapy in this category of patients with changes in the ocular surface. 98.25 % of doctors expressed their intention to continue prescribing antiglaucoma drugs from Sentiss Russ.

Authors: Aksyonenko A. V. , Gromakina E. V.
Published: April 2022

The organ of vision is one of the target organs, which is negatively influenced by a number of harmful factors of the working environment and the labor process. Under their influence, the functioning of the visual analyzer can be disrupted, the risk of developing various diseases and injuries increases. The problem of the ophthalmopathology development in persons employed in hazardous industries is relevant, since the protection of the health of the working-age population is of great socio-economic importance. The proposed review of the literature presents the structure and frequency of occurrence of ophthalmopathology in workers of the cement industry, oil refining and petrochemical industries, metallurgical industry, coal and mining industries, manganese ore industry, synthetic rubber production, rubber technical products, synthetic ethyl alcohol, bakery, aviation production, also workers of the underground and railways of the main professions, including those who service underground tunnels. The data of the nosological structure of ophthalmopathology of various hazardous industries workers in Ukraine, India, and some African countries are presented. Among the professionally conditioned pathology of the vision organ, diseases of the anterior part of the eyeball are most common: chronic conjunctivitis, blepharitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, dry eye syndrome. In the general diseases’s structure of the vision organ, the first place is occupied by anomalies of refraction (from 14.3 to 88.9 %). The share of eye injuries ranges from 4 to 12.5 %. The frequency of occurrence of various ophthalmopathologies increases among workers with more than 10–15 years professional experience, which is typical for all industries and industries; there is also a direct connection between diseases of the organ of vision and the class of harmfulness of working conditions.

Published: April 2022

The disruption of blood flow through the retinal vessels is undoubtedly a stressful situation for the body. In response to any stress, the body produces heat shock proteins or so-called stress proteins. Moreover, a number of modern studies indicate that HSP may act as autoantigens, which are components of the immune system involved in the pathogenesis of vascular pathologies. By now, a number of certain heat shock proteins (HSP 60, 70) have already been proven to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis as well as various circulatory disorders in the cerebral vessels. In addition, the possibility of using the data on the content and concentration of certain HSPs and antibodies to them in the blood plasma of patients as diagnostic and prognostic markers of systemic vascular diseases is considered. On the visual organ side, HSPs have been found to have damaging effects on retinal ganglion cells and, together with antibodies produced in response to their presence, are involved in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. However, there is currently no data on the role of HSP in the pathogenesis of retinal blood flow disorders and the possibility of using these molecules as diagnostic or prognostic markers of such conditions.
Memories of a Girl Between Worlds: Speculative Common Worldings
Authors: Pretti Esther do Lago e , Jiang Jieyu , Nielsen Ann , Goebel Janna , Silova Iveta
Published: April 2022

This article combines collective biography, diffractive analysis, and speculative fabulation to weave together the authors’ childhood memories of “common worlding.” Our collective biography brings into focus how we engaged in common worlding in our childhoods through dreaming, metamorphosis, and play by tactfully moving across different worlds and learning with the human and more-than-human others we encountered. As we foreground childhood memory and its potential to reimagine pasts, presents, and futures, we explore what kind of conditions are necessary to (re)attune ourselves to the multiple worlds around us in order to maintain and nurture children’s—and our own—other-worldly connections.

Published: April 2022

Risk management is the effort done to minimize the possible risks that might occur in future. This study aimed to examine the influence of firm size, audit committee, and risk committee on risk management disclosure and to examine the influence of firm size, audit committee, risk committee, and risk management disclosure on firm banking value. The research sample comprised 40 banking firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2016 to 2018. The hypothesis testing was done by using a regression data panel. The results revealed that the firm size and risk committee had a positive influence on the disclosure of risk management, and audit committee did not have a positive influence on the disclosure of risk management. This study also proved the positive influence of firm size, audit committee, and risk committee on firm banking value through risk management disclosure. The limitation of this study was the measurement of the risk management disclosure index which contained an element of subjectivity in understanding the index, so it had the opportunity to give different perceptions if research is carried out in the future. The implication of this study requires to consider the size of the company and that of the risk committee, so that it will minimize risk for investors in future.

Published: April 2022

Neste artigo analisamos os efeitos do exercício físico no cérebro, no desempenho cognitivo/escolar e saúde mental a partir da perspectiva das Neurociências, relacionando com o estado emocional da Ansiedade Matemática (AM). O estado da arte aponta que o exercício físico traz benefícios estruturais e funcionais ao sistema nervoso, melhora a aptidão cardiorrespiratória, o desempenho cognitivo e promove modulação da ansiedade. Essas evidências dão suporte para a formulação de um modelo que postula os benefícios da prática do exercício físico no controle da ansiedade matemática nas populações jovens em idade escolar. Nossas discussões caminham na perspectiva de fomentar a implementação, a curto e médio prazos, de estratégias metodológicas viáveis ao sistema educacional para a melhoria da saúde física, cognitiva e do desempenho matemático dos estudantes

Estudos sobre a Crítica Literária de Benedito Nunes e sua itinerância intelectual em Belém do Pará
Authors: Belo Geovane Silva
Published: April 2022

Pela dimensão da crítica literária de Benedito Nunes, a sua história intelectual e os desdobramentos do seu pensamento são indispensáveis aos estudiosos que procuram compreendê-lo como filósofo da literatura, teórico e intérprete da Amazônia. Cabe a este artigo apresentar um conjunto de pesquisas sobre sua crítica de literatura e uma síntese do seu itinerário intelectual em Belém do Pará. Morador da Rua da Estrela no bairro do Marco, na capital paraense, Benedito Nunes não se considerava uma “planta nativa”, por isso criticava o localismo e as visões endógenas da arte, mas, a partir de estudos avançados, em aulas, entrevistas, ensaios, orientações, seminários se tornou um “fazedor de intelectuais”, guiando uma rede de sociabilidade em diversas instituições do Pará. Assim, com ênfase na relação entre filosofia e literatura, construiu uma trajetória e uma crítica com alcance ético e universalizante. Seus ensaios circularam em jornais e revistas com grande impacto cultural. Seus estudos no campo literário contribuíram enormemente para a validação estética e histórica de autores da Literatura da Amazônia paraense como Mário Faustino, Max Martins, Paulo Plínio Abreu, Ruy Barata e muitas outras vozes invisibilizadas pelo cânone brasileiro.
Drawing Sex: Pages, Bodies, and Sighs in Japanese Eromanga
Authors: Casiello Caitlin
Published: April 2022

This article analyzes eromanga, Japanese pornographic comic books, in terms of the semiotic power of images to create an erotic fantasy space for the reader. Manga are a central part of media culture in Japan. Alongside and closely connected to mainstream manga, eromanga have become important as a negotiation space for new semiotic expression methods. At the same time, they have become a battleground for questions of freedom of expression and defending youth and women from sexual violence, especially as manga ‘otaku’ fan culture becomes increasingly globalized. Focusing on a selection of contemporary eromanga artists, we explore the visual imaginary central to eromanga, a system of visual techniques which stretches the boundaries of the comic panel and the human body into new shapes and forms. Drawing from Thierry Groensteen’s and Natsume Fusanosuke’s theories of comic semiotics and Nagayama Kaoru’s and Kimi Ritodrawing’s work in the developing field of eromanga studies, we argue that eromanga portray sexuality by intensifying the on-page material – layout, bodies, and sighs (sounds as drawn images) – creating a multiple layering of time and fantasy for the reader. Eromanga often employs techniques and ideas that estrange the boundaries of the human body as we usually conceive it. Eromanga artists draw on erotic fantasies subtextual to anime and manga as a whole, making them explicit. At the same time, eromanga feeds into the broader mainstream world of manga, making thus the analysis of eromanga’s semiotics essential to a more comprehensive understanding of manga.
The Synergy of Animation and Tourism Industry: Myths and Ideologies in Mickey Mouse’s Traveling Adventure
Authors: Papadaki Eirini
Published: April 2022

The tourism industry circulates signs through its synergies with other cultural industries, such as film, music, museum, video gaming, and the sports industry, to name but a few. This paper aims at exploring the creation or preservation of tourist myths and ideologies through the cartoon industry following the travel experiences of one of the first and most widely known animation characters, Mickey Mouse, in animated films such as the Hawaiian Holiday (1937), Mickey’s Trailer (1938), Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip (1940), On Vacation with Mickey Mouse and Friends (1956), Croissant de Triomphe (2013), Tokyo Go (2013), Yodelberg (2013), O Sole Minnie (2013), Panda- monium (2013), Mumbai Madness (2014), O FutebalClάssico (2014), ¡FelizCumpleaños! (2015), Al Rojo Vivo (2015), Turkish Delights (2016), Entombed (2016), Dancevidaniya (2016), Locked in Love (2017), or Shipped Out (2017). In terms of methodology, this study of animated films and images will be conducted with the help of Greimas’ semiotic square combined with Roland Barthes’ writings on myth. The main objective of such research is to trace the tourist myths and ideologies that the animation industry proposes and highlights. The focus will therefore be on outlining any simplifications, stereotypes, and boundaries regarding tourist image-brand production, as well as foregrounding the creative practices and invitations to co-productions of meaning offered to young gazes, that is, those of future travelers.

Time-Varying Effects of External Shocks on Macroeconomic Fluctuations in Peru: An Empirical Application using TVP-VAR- SV Models
Authors: Rodríguez Gabriel , Ojeda Cunya Junior A.
Published: April 2022

Este estudio utiliza una familia de modelos VAR con coeficientes cambiantes en el tiempo y volatilidad estocástica (TVP-VAR-SV) para analizar el impacto de los choques externos en el crecimiento de la producción y la inflación en el Perú en 1992Q1-2017Q1. La relevancia estadística de los modelos se evalúa utilizando el criterio de información de desviación (DIC) y la verosimilitud marginal calculada utilizando el método de entropía cruzada (CE). Los resultados muestran que: (i) es más relevante introducir SV que TVP; es decir, el mejor modelo de ajuste admite solo interceptos variables y SV; y TVP-VAR y CVAR son los modelos menos favorecidos por los datos; (ii) las funciones impulso respuestas de los modelos indican que los impactos de los choques externos son diferentes bajo alta inflación, crisis económica y el cambio de política monetaria, con un mayor impacto en los episodios de alta incertidumbre; (iii) el impacto y la importancia de los choques externos ha aumentado con el tiempo; y (iv) los resultados son robustos a los cambios en las priors, la estructura de rezagos, el orden de las variables, la variable externa y la variable para la actividad económica doméstica.

Background: Foxtail millet is a short duration crop which is suitable for different cropping systems in rainfed farming. Improvement of yields is necessary to achieve profits in rainfed situation which is highly influenced by the high yielding varieties. Genotype by environment interaction (G×E) causes genotypes failure to keep high performance in all environments. Location specific climatic conditions also influence significantly genotype × environment (G×E) interaction, so with the result that identifying stable genotypes for rainfed situations is difficult. The study was conducted with a prime objective to identify stable high yielding foxtail millet genotypes for rainfed cultivation and to identify ideal mega-environments using additive main effects and multiplicative interaction stability model analysis. Methods: Four prerelease promising foxtail millet genotypes including three released popular check varieties were evaluated across six locations in Andhra Pradesh during Kharif, 2018 under rainfed situation. Result: The culture, SiA 3159 was found to be stable performer across the locations indicating that it is suitable for wide range of environments. In contrast the genotypes SiA 3085 and SiA 3156 showed narrow adaptation, specifically adapted to Anantapur (rainfed situation having scarce rainfall) and Vizianagaram (favorable environments with assured rainfall areas) respectively.

Biyobozunur Mg-Ag Döküm Alaşımlarının Mikroyapı Mekanik ve İn Vitro Korozyon Özelliklerinin İncelenmesi
Authors: Elen Levent , Türen Yunus , Ahlatcı Hayrettin , Ünal Mehmet
Published: April 2022

Bu çalışmada, magnezyuma %1 ve %3 oranlarında gümüş ilave edilmiş Mg-Ag alaşımlarının döküm sonrası mekanik ve in vitro korozyon özellikleri incelenmiştir. Deney sonuçlarına göre, döküm alaşımlarındaki ilave edilen Ag’nin miktarı arttıkça yapıda ortaya çıkan ikincil fazlar (Mg4Ag ve Mg54Ag17) daha belirginleşmiştir. Ayrıca Ag miktarı arttıkça, döküm yapısına kıyasla tanelerin inceldiği ve bu sayede alaşımların mekanik özellikleri de artmıştır. Potansiyodinamik polarizasyon testlerinde ise Ag miktarına bağlı olarak, alaşımların korozyon akım yoğunlukları artış göstermiştir. Hank sıvısı ile yapılan testler sonucunda ise Mg-1Ag alaşımının korozyonu daha hızlı ilerlediği ve buna bağlı olarak da Mg-1Ag alaşımında daha fazla kütle kaybının olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Tüm bu sonuçlar ışığında bakıldığında, Mg-Ag alaşımlarında Ag ilavesi ile deney sonuçlarının değişim göstermesi, Mg-Ag alaşımlarının gelişime açık olduğunu ve biyomalzeme olarak hayatımıza girmeye büyük bir aday olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.

Published: April 2022

In this study, the determination of flexural tensile strength of concrete kerbstone is investigated. Currently, the flexural tensile strength of concrete kerbstone is determined using simple bending formula. However, due to the unsymmetrical cross-section of kerbstone, the bending take place on the section of kerbstone is not simple bending but bi-axial bending. The study shows how the flexural tensile strength for unsymmetrical sections should be determined. Additionally, flexural strength results obtained using the simple bending formula suggested by certain specifications and bi-axial bending formula used in the study were compared. As a result of the study, it was found that bi-axial bending formula gave higher values than that of the simple bending formula.

Her yıl birçok yeni pestisit kullanım amacıyla üretilmektedir. Pestisitlerin önemli alt gruplarından biri olan fungusitler, tarımsal ürünleri fungal enfeksiyonlardan korumak amacıyla kullanılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte fungusitlerin genotoksik potansiyelleri hakkındaki çalışmalar hala çok sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmada, yaygın kullanılan dört fungusit’in (metiram, kresoxim-methyl, propamocarb ve hymexazol) genotoksik potansiyelleri Drosophila Somatik Mutasyon ve Rekombinasyon Testi (SMART) ve Drosophila Tek Hücre Jel Elektroforezi Testi (Drosophila Komet Testi) kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Son yıllarda genetik çalışmalarda yaygın olarak kullanılan Drosophila, insan genetik hastalıkları araştırmalarında, genetik ve moleküler yaklaşımların kullanılmasında güçlü bir sistem sağlamaktadır. Model organizma olarak Drosophila birçok açıdan insan sistemleri ile benzer yönler göstermektedir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre genotoksik etkisi SMART yöntemi ile araştırılan 4 fungusitin genotoksisiteyi indüklemediği tespit edilmiştir. KOMET deneyinde ise çalışılan fungusitlerin DNA tek iplik kırığına yol açtığı belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma pestisitlerin insan sağlığı ve olası genetik hastalıklar üzerine potansiyel etkileri hakkında yeni veriler sunmaktadır.

How do Roboticists Imagine a Robotised Future? A Case Study on a Japanese HRI Research Project
Authors: Chang Yu-Hsin , Carros Felix , Manavi Mehrbod , Rathmann Martin
Published: April 2022

This study observes, interprets, and analyses the knowledge production in the research field of Human–Robot Interaction (HRI). It intends to foreground the hidden assumptions that are often taken for granted when roboticist design and conduct their research. By doing so, this study demonstrates how these assumptions influence the result of their research. Based on data collected through sociological field observation, this study argues that the current practise in HRI research is highly anthropocentric. In short, the robots are designed to be like human instead of for human. Therefore, the human–robot relationship embodies the existing power relations between human beings. These relations generate inequality, hierarchy, and dominance, which are the opposite of the common imagination of the robotised future among roboticists. For the purpose of enabling the robotised future closer to their ideal, this study suggests that HRI researchers to go beyond the conventional methodology, to allow a human–robot relationship that realises reciprocity.

Objective. To study immediate and long-term results of endovascular reduction of blood flow in placental ingrowth. Patients and methods. The study included 70 pregnant women with ingrowth of the placenta into the uterine scar. The gestational age at time of delivery ranged from 30 to 40 weeks, averaging 35.8 ± 2.9 weeks. In all cases, the reduction of blood flow was performed using balloon catheters placed in the common iliac arteries. Admiral (Invatec) peripheral balloon catheters were used in 55 patients; in 15 patients – balloon catheters used in pediatric practice for dilatation of restrictive interatrial communication (Rashkind balloon). Results. There were no fatal outcomes. Endovascular complications were observed in 4 (5.7%) parturient women. In the longterm period the results were studied in 31 patients. In 22 (71%) patients menstrual function normalized within the first 3 months after the end of lactation. Recovery of menstrual function occurred in 3 (9.7%) women between 3 and 6 months, 2 (6.5%) cases each were in the subgroups with menstrual function recovery between 6 and 9 months and more than 9 months. Menstrual function was not recovered in 2 (6.5%) patients. Conclusion. Temporary balloon occlusion of the common iliac arteries significantly reduces the volume of blood loss, provides better visualization of the surgical area, and creates favorable conditions for subsequent pregnancy.

Placenta accreta includes several abnormalities of adhesion and invasion of placental tissue into the uterine wall. The steady increase in cesarean deliveries has led to a high incidence of placenta accreta, which negatively affects pregnancy outcomes. Placenta accreta is now an absolute indication for emergency hysterectomy for massive intraoperative hemorrhage in many maternity institutions. The management of pregnancy and labor in patients with placenta accreta depends on the accuracy of prenatal diagnosis, including the differential diagnosis between adhesive and invasive forms. Current epidemiological data on placenta accreta are ambiguous mainly because of the great variety of both clinical and diagnostic criteria used to identify this pathology. The increasing role of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of abnormal placental attachment is obvious, but there are many different signs of this condition described in the literature, and there are controversial data on the efficacy of one or another criterion.

The study of the physical development of adolescent population in the Republic of Dagestan is insufficient and attracts the attention of endocrinologists. A detailed examination of the features of physical development in this region could help to clarify the general patterns of acceleration or deceleration taking place in this territory of the Russian Federation. Objective. To conduct a comparative analysis of physical development indicators of adolescent boys during puberty in 1970-1990 with similar indicators of 2005-2010. Methods. The physical development of adolescents aged 11-17 years was examined in the mountain, foothill, and plain ecological and geographical zones of the Republic of Dagestan. Results. The physical development of boys aged 11-14 years in all ecological and geographical zones of the Republic of Dagestan in both groups was comparable (p > 0.05). Adolescents in the older age group of 15-16 years (group 1) outperformed their peers (group 2) by an average of 0.6-2.1%. From the age of 16, there was a “crossing” of the centile curves of physical development, and adolescents aged 16–17 years (group 2) already outperformed their peers (group 1) in all ecological and geographical zones of the Republic of Dagestan. This was most evident when comparing the physical development of the boys living in the foothill zone, where this difference was significant at 4.0-7.5% (p < 0.04) when comparing the two age groups (group 1 and 2). Final height by the end of puberty in adolescents in group 1 was in the range of 152.0 ± 2.7 cm and 163.0 ± 1.3 cm and in group 2 – 156.3 ± 0.7 cm and 167.7 ± 0.9 cm. Conclusion. The analysis and general secular trend of physical development indicators of adolescents at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries on the model of the Republic of Dagestan showed that anthropometric parameters of adolescents in the Russian Federation demonstrate the presence of specific regional features – environmental, socio-economic, and anthropogenic.

Objective. To analyze clinical and laboratory characteristics of COVID-19 in children with comorbidities admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Patients and methods. This study included 155 infants/children aged 1 month to 18 years with confirmed COVID-19 who were admitted to the ICU No. 2 of Z.A. Bashlyaeva Children's City Clinical Hospital, Moscow Healthcare Department between March 2020 and June 2021. The diagnosis was confirmed by epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data. Results. Thirty-six out of 155 patients admitted to the ICU (23.2 ± 3.4%) had no comorbidities. Comorbidities were detected in 119 children (76.8±3.4%) with severe COVID-19, which manifested as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) (n = 16; 13.4 ± 2.7%), CT 1-2 pneumonia (n = 25; 21 ± 3.3%), CT 2-3 pneumonia (n = 7; 5.9 ± 1.9%), and CT 3-4 pneumonia (n = 19; 16 ± 3.0%). Viral pneumonia with MIS-C was observed in 10 children (8.4 ± 2.2%). Six patients (3.9 ± 1.6%) were diagnosed with generalized bacterial infection, which aggravated the course of COVID-19. Conclusion. A total of 76.8% of children in our study were found to have some comorbidities, which is a risk factor for severe COVID-19. The most common comorbidities included nervous system diseases, metabolic disorders (such as obesity), concomitant infectious diseases, etc. So far, the information on the effects of different comorbidities on the course of COVID-19 in children is limited, which necessitated the analysis of COVID-19 course in this cohort of patients.

Published: April 2022

Shale condensate reservoirs, as one of the most important unconventional resources, have been attracting more and more attention recently. Researchers have developed several models for analyzing the phase behavior in nanopores. However, investigation of pore-geometry-based nanopore confinement is still lacking in the oil industry. Therefore, we develop a comprehensive thermodynamic model to satisfy this gas and simulate to the Eagle Ford shale condensate reservoirs. The model is first built with modification of the PR-EOS coupling the pore-geometry-based capillarity and adsorption. The Multicomponent Langmuir (ML) adsorption model is utilized. A good agreement is shown between this proposed model and the experimental data, which is associated with bulk fluid and confined fluid. After that, phase behavior of C1-C10 and C1-C4 mixtures is analyzed. Results indicate that capillarity and adsorption can result in noticeable deviation in the phase envelope. Additionally, pores with square and triangular cross-sections are analyzed, illustrating that pore geometries also have a significant influence on the phase behavior. Finally, a case study of the Eagle Ford shale condensate reservoir is performed. Phase behaviors in different pore geometries are analyzed by the ML adsorption model in detail, which will be more realistic than only circle pores. Moreover, we examine the physical properties of fluid in the Eagle Ford shale condensate reservoir. This work provides useful insights into the phase behavior of nanopores in shale formation, especially in the case of CO2-EOR in the shale condensate reservoirs.

Tectonic belts along active tectonic block boundaries comprise one or more active faults; along which, large earthquakes recur. Therefore, it is important to establish the recurrence behavior of large earthquakes along such boundary zones for studying their characteristics and developments. Many paleoearthquake studies make it possible to investigate the recurrence behavior of large earthquakes along the northern boundary of the Ordos block (NBOB). Based on the previous studies, data from 52 trenches were collected to reconstruct prehistoric earthquakes using an improved multiple trench constraining method. This method is based on paleoearthquake indicators and trench location distribution to constrain the rupture time and length, thereby reducing the selection bias of fixed rupture length to construct additional rupture scenarios. The results suggest that the NBOB comprises four normal faults (from west to east): the Langshan Piedmont Fault (LPF), Sertengshan Piedmont Fault (SPF), Wulashan Piedmont Fault (WPF), and Daqingshan Piedmont Fault (DPF); along which, six, seven, eight, and six paleoearthquakes have occurred within approximately 15,000 yr, respectively. In addition, recurrence behaviors of the individual faults exhibit remarkable periodicity. The regional fault network along the NBOB reveals clustered characteristics with six clusters propagating either westward or eastward and a recurrence time of approximately 1,300 yr. Large earthquake events have occurred along the LPF, WPF, and DPF according to the most recent cluster; however, earthquakes were absent along the SPF, and no evidence of large earthquakes was observed along the NBOB after the 849 CE earthquake. Thus, we discuss the possibility of occurrence of large earthquakes along the SPF after the 849 CE earthquake based on earthquake recurrence and cluster migration behavior. Additional research is required to assess the potential risk of the occurrence of a large earthquake along the SPF in the future.
A Semianalytical Formulation for Estimating Induced Surface Subsidence of a Poroelastic Reservoir

Published: April 2022

Monitoring and controlling surface subsidence are important to the safety of production operations as well as to the compliance of environmental regulations. Quantitively predicting surface subsidence caused by subsurface pressure change due to well production or injection would be very useful for operators. However, running a 3D geomechanics simulation for such a purpose is technically demanding and computationally expensive. Currently, a quick and easy alternative to get accurate results to fulfill such a task is lacking. In this work, we propose a semianalytical formulation to efficiently calculate the surface subsidence of a reservoir during the primary and enhanced recovery processes. Our method is based on the Green’s function solution of the Navier-Beltrami-Michell equation of poroelastic rocks. It takes the pressure field from a reservoir simulator or an analytical solution as the input and calculates the surface displacement along the vertical direction. We benchmarked the proposed formulation with numerical methods on a refined grid as well as with a semianalytical solution to ensure its accuracy. We applied the developed formulation to optimize the injection well position and vertical injection zone for pressure management. Compared to the previous analytical formulations that are based on the average pressure decline of the reservoir, our method explicitly considers the spatial distribution of the pressure field and is therefore more accurate. Compared with numerical methods, our method avoids the discretization of the caprock region and is thus faster by several orders of magnitude.
