Authors: Barua Prabal , Rahman Syed Hafizur , Mitra Abhijit , Zaman Sufia
Published: December 2020

Saint Martin is an only tropical island of Bangladesh having coral and adjacent rich biodiversity which is built of organic material derived from associate organism of coral ecosystem. Present study was conducted to developed the exclusive zoning plan that based on the specific goal of managing natural resources of St.Martin’s island. . The authors mentioedn that it is important to recognize that the current zoning plan is based on the assumption that conservation and sustainable use of natural resources are the primary objectives. This is found that climate Change is now affecting the biodiversity of ST. Martin island and coral reef diversity hampering due to vulnerability of environmental degradation and climate change. The authors mentioned that, participation and involvement of island inhabitants should required to prime concern for successful implementation of the effective zoning management plan. Desired level of usage can be achieved through interventions, but only in consultation and active cooperation and participation with local communities, with a clear recognition that additional environmental, biological, socioeconomic and sociopolitical data are required for an effective management and conservation of corals and other marine biodiversity of St. Martin’s island through proper implementation of zoning and Marine Protected Area.

Authors: Siaw Douglas Baah , Gidigasu Solomon S.R. , Andrews Anthony , Gikunoo Emmanuel , Foli Gordon
Published: December 2020

This study assesses environmental receptors impacted by alluvial gold mining at Kibi Goldfields Limited in the Eastern region of Ghana to establish trace metals contamination risk. Specific objectives are to determine concentrations of (1) As, Cr, Ni and Pb in soils, drainage and food crops, using X-ray fluorescence, (2) Cl- in drainage using standard methods. Mean concentrations of As, Cr and Ni in soils are higher at impacted sites than control sites; while Pb and As concentrations in drainage exceeds the maximum contamination guideline values in drinking water. Using Cl- as a conservative tracer, As and Pb are adsorbing from water, while Cr and Ni are desorbing into water. In the food crops, bioaccumulation factors of As and Ni are profound at the impacted site than control sites; Except Cr in cocoyam at impacted sites, translocation factors are negligible in the food crops. Cr bioaccumulates in in cocoyam and plantain at the control site, while Ni bioaccumulates in only plantain at the impacted sites. Overall, the metal contamination is of concern in the receptors, except Pd in plants. Results from this study can be used for trace metals risk assessment in the environment.
APPLICABILITY OF THE GEOLOGICAL STRENGTH INDEX (GSI) CLASSIFICATION FOR THE TRUSMADI FORMATION AT SABAH, MALAYSIA
Authors: Roslee Rodeano , Pirah Jeffery Anak , Madri Ahmad Nazrul , Zikiri Mohd Fauzi
Published: December 2020

During the feasibility and preliminary design stages of a project, when very little detailed information on the rock mass and its geomechanic characteristics is not available, the use of a Rock Mass Classification Scheme (RMCS) can be of considerable benefit. Various parameters were used in order to identify the RMCS. The parameter comprised of Rock Quality Designation (RQD), Rock Mass Rating (RMR), Rock Structure Rating (RSR), Geological Strength Index (GSI), Slope Mass Rating (SMR), etc. In this paper, we present the results of the applicability of the Geological Strength Index (GSI) classification for the Trusmadi Formation in Sabah, Malaysia. The GSI classification system is based on the assumption that the rock mass contains a sufficient number of “randomly” oriented discontinuities such that it behaves as a homogeneous isotropic mass. In this study, the GSI relates the properties of the intact rock elements/blocks to those of the overall rock mass. It is based on an assessment of the lithology, structure and condition of discontinuity surfaces in the rock mass and is estimated from visual examination of the rock mass exposed in outcrops or surface excavations. A total of ten (10) locations were selected on the basis of exposures of the lithology and slope condition of the Trusmadi Formation. The Trusmadi Formation regionally experienced of two major structural orientations NW-SE and NE-SW. It consists mostly of dark grey shale with thin bedded sandstones, typical of a turbidite deposit. This unit has been subjected to low grade of metamorphism, producing slates, phyllites and meta-sediments and intense tectonic deformation producing disrupted or brecciated beds. Quartz vein are quite widespread within the joints on sandstone beds. The shale is dark grey when fresh but changes light grey to brownish when weathered. The results are classified as “Poor Rock” to “Fair Rock” in term of GSI. The poor categories (TR2 and TR7) represent slickensided, highly weathered surfaces with compact coatings or fillings or angular fragments. It is also characterized as blocky/ disturbed/seamy, which folded with angular blocks formed by many intersecting discontinuity sets. The fair categories can be divided into two (2) types; type 1 (TR1, TR6 and TR8) which represent as smooth, moderately weathered and have altered surfaces. It is also characterised as very blocky rock, which indicates interlocked, partially disturbed ass with multi-faceted angular blocks formed by 4 or more joint sets. Type 2 (TR3, TR4, TR5, TR9 and TR10) which represent as smooth, moderately weathered and have altered surfaces but characterized as blocky/disturbed/seamy, which folded with angular blocks formed by many intersecting discontinuity sets. It also has persistence of bedding planes or schistosity.
PETROGRAPHY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF SOME PALEOPROTEROZOIC GRANITOIDS AT THE NORTH-EASTERN MARGIN OF THE KUMASI BASIN IN GHANA

Published: December 2020

This study investigates basin-type granitoid samples from the north-eastern margin of the Kumasi Basin in Ghana to establish their source and geodynamic setting. Petrographic analysis, TAS and A/NK-A/CNK plots classify the granitoids as metaluminous quartz diorite, metaluminous granodiorite, and peraluminous monzogranite; and exhibiting I-type signatures. These rocks are formed by magma differentiation and/or partial melting at various stages. Distribution patterns of incompatible elements and the positive Eu/Eu* anomalies of 1.15 and 1.47 exhibited by quartz diorite and granodiorite, respectively, the values suggest the rocks crystallized from melts formed in a water-saturated environment. The negative Eu/Eu* anomaly exhibited by monzogranite indicate fractionation of plagioclase in the final stages of the magma evolution. The water-rich environment is probably due to dewatering of the basin’s foreland volcaniclastic sediments during regional subsidence, burial and metamorphism. K2O enrichments and wide variations suggest that the granodiorite and monzogranite are formed from fractional crystallization and/or crustal assimilation of the continental crust by under-plating dioritic magma. The higher Al2O3/TiO2 enrichment and the shift from metaluminous to peraluminous in the monzogranite suggest a longer residence time within the continental crust, during which fractional crystallization and the assimilation of pre-existing crustal components into the dioritic magma that resulted in the formation of the monzogranite. The study requires replication at other areas within the basin to generate enough data to enhance metallogenic studies in the terrain.
GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GOLD-BEARING GRANITOIDS AT AYANFURI IN THE KUMASI BASIN, SOUTHWESTERN GHANA: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE OROGENIC RELATED GOLD SYSTEMS
Authors: K. Agbenyezi Theophilus , Foli Gordon , Gawu Simon K. Y.
Published: December 2020

This study investigates auriferous granitoids from the Esuajah and Fobinso pits within the Ayanfuri environment in the Paleoproterozoic Kumasi basin. The aim is to establish the geochemical characteristics of the granitoid gold ores and the possible deposit type which may influence mineral project development. 13 major and 51 trace elements were analyzed using XRF and ICP-MS devices, respectively. The granitoids are mainly classified as granodiorite that crystallized from a calc-alkaline magma series. The Fobinso granodiorite derived from the partial melting of the Birimian metasedimentary rocks, while the Esuajah granitoid derived from igneous rock melts. The granitoid are linked to magma source depleted in mantle material that contains crustal components through subduction processes. Major oxides of the granitoid vary lowly from the average background values derived for basin type granitoid in such terrains. Generally, the granitoid are enriched in Large Ion Lithophile Elements (LILE), while High Field Strength Elements (HFSE) and base metals are within background values when compared to Primitive Mantle (PM) values. Gold mineralisation is associated with Ag, As, Bi, Sb, Te, Pb and S in the peraluminous granitoids. Geochemical characteristics and field observations identify the deposit style as an orogenic related gold deposit type.

Land use and land cover transition is continue process due to various anthropogenic activities and altering the landscape pattern of the metropolitan area of Lahore over the last two decade. LULC has been emerging masses of environmental problems including land use issues for the inhabitants, city planners, and managers. This research has been focused on the LULC change from 1998 to 2018 and their impact to forecast the landscape pattern of 2023 and 2028 in metropolitan area of Lahore. Numerous satellite imageries including land sat 5 TM and landsat 8 OLI has been undergone by supervised classification for the preparation of LULC map, land change moderler MCL to calculate the transition in LULC and CA-Markov model for predicting upcoming transitions. Results have validated by transition matrix, Google Earth data and kappa statistics. Derived results has depicted the decreased in water bodies 2.70% to 0.60%, vegetation 24.90% to 22.60% and barren land 42.50% to 35.70% and increased in built up area 29.80 % to 41% between 1998 to 2018. Finding clearly represents the loss of ecological and barren landscape over the last two decade and therefore urban expansion will likely to continue the change in landscape. This study will provide a baseline reference to urban planners and policymakers to make informed decision for management of land resources, urban land planning and for maintain sustainable land development.
DELINEATION OF CONCENTRATION OF FERRUGINOUS MINERALS IN AQUIFERS IN YENAGOA, BAYELSA STATE, NIGERIA, USING GEOELECTRIC VERTICAL ELECTRICAL SOUNDING (VES) AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL TECHNIQUES
Authors: E. Mark Okorobia , D. Uko Etim , Bright Amechi , Davies Onengiyeofori A.
Published: December 2020

A total of sixteen Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) surveys and five physicochemical analyses were carried out in selected locations within the Yenagoa Metropolis, in Bayelsa State, Nigeria, to delineate the concentration of ferruginous minerals in freshwater aquifers in the area. For the geophysical survey, the Schlumberger electrode configuration was employed. The resulting data obtained was processed and interpreted using Excel suite, IPI2WIN resistivity, Surfer-11 and Rockworks software. The results revealed four to six geologic layers across the area, and were used to generate geoelectric maps which showed that in most part of the study area, there were uneven distributions of shallow aquifers (4 – 10m), and uneven layers of clay and sandy-silt at varying depths up to 20m. The physicochemical analysis of raw water samples collected from five boreholes located in close proximity to the VES sounding locations were analysed for physical and chemical parameters. Physical parameters tested include colour, conductivity, turbidity, and temperature. Chemical parameters analysed are pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Alkalinity, Total Iron, Carbonate, Chloride, Sulphate, and heavy metals such as copper, chromium, nickel, cadmium, manganese, zinc and lead. The pH was determined using a Mettler Toledo (GmbH 8603 Schwerzenbach) pH meter by direct measurement. An analogue mercury thermometer was used for temperature measurements and a Hach 2100A turbidimeter for turbidity determination. Also, the concentrations of Zinc, Lead, and Copper in the water samples were obtained using the flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. It was observed that the values SO42- , Cl-, Na2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, F- have values below World Health Organization (WHO) standard in all boreholes tested while Mn2+, NH3, PO3−and Fe2+, K+, and Cu2+ have values above WHO standard in some boreholes. The pH values all showed that the water was slightly basic as the values all exceeded the neutral limit 7, with only station showing slightly elevated pH value 9, suggesting the presence of iron bacteria. F-, K+, Fe2+ and Mn2+ have values that exceeded the WHO standard. The results from Physicochemical and geophysical analysis suggest that at depths of 20 – 45m, the concentration of ferruginous minerals is high especially towards the north eastern section of the study area and so drilling should be made to approximate depths of 50 – 80m for minimal iron contamination in the aquifers.
Framing Digital Wellbeing as a Social Good
Authors: Beattie Alexander , Daubs Michael
Published: December 2020

This contribution argues that companies such as Apple, Facebook, and Google are increasingly incorporating features that supposedly promote “digital wellbeing” to forestall regulation of their platforms and services. The inclusion of these features, we suggest, frames these commercial platforms as providing a social good by promising to encourage more “intentional” or “mindful” use of social media and mobile devices. Apple’s June 2018 iOS update, for example, included a new function called Screentime, which incorporates features similar to other digital wellbeing mobile apps including the ability to impose time limits on the use of specific apps and data analytics on amount of time a user spends on their device.
The introduction of these features demonstrates how oft-critiqued platforms are increasingly adopting the language of their critics in order to frame themselves as a social good. This strategy mimics that used by radio executives in the United States in the early 20th century, where the medium developed as a fully commercial enterprise. To avoid regulation, it became necessary to perpetuate the perception that commercial broadcasters were also a social good that fulfilled a public service function. Popular entertainment programming was thus supplemented with “high culture” music programmes (e.g., classical music), news, and “home services” shows. Platforms today, we assert, are inadvertently or purposefully adopting a similar tactic to position themselves as leaders in a developing digital wellness market in the hopes of avoiding future governmental regulation.

MENGUJI KESYARIAHAN AKAD WADIAH PADA PRODUK BANK SYARIAH
Authors: Murdadi Bambang
Published: December 2020

Salah satu akad dalam produk Perbankan Syariah adalah akad Wadiah. Pengertian Akad Wadiah adalah perjanjian penitipan dana antara pemilik dana dengan pihak penerima titipan yang dipercaya untuk menjaga dana tersebut; (PBI No.2/9/2000). Produk Perbankan Syariah dengan akad Wadiah antara lain dalam produk Giro Wadiah, Tabungan Wadiah, Sertifikat Wadiah Bank Indonesia. Sesuai dengan Fatwa dari Dewan Syariah Nasional bahwa produk giro wadiah secara umum memiliki kriteria 1. Bersifat titipan 2. Titipan bisa diambil kapan saja (on call) 3.Tidak ada imbalan yang disyaratkan, kecuali dalam bentuk pemberian (athaya) yang bersifat sukarela dari pihak bank. Adapun dasar syariahnya antara lain dalam Firman Allah QS Annnisa (4):29. Hai orang yang beriman ! janganlah kalian saling memakan (mengambil) harta sesamamu dengan jalan yang batil, kecuali dengan jalan perniagaan yang berlaku dengan sukarela diantaramu. Di dalam praktek perbankan di lapangan, beleid (point) yang menyatakan  “tidak ada imbalan yang dipersyaratkan”  ataupun tidak ada imbalan yang dijanjikan dimuka apakah benar-benar telah diterapkan secara murni dan syar’ie?Perlu dikaji lebih mendalam. Baik tinjauan dari sisi legal formal (ketentuan yang ada) diluar fatwa Dewan Syariah Nasional maupun dalam praktek bisnis perbankan di lapangan. Dari hasil pengamatan dan diskusi, terkesan masih bersifat ambigu (abu-abu) ditengah praktek dunia bisnis perbankan yang penuh dengan persaingan yang sangat ketat.Kata kunci : akad wadiah, titipan, imbalan sukarela.

Authors: Alwan Saib Thiab
Published: December 2020

In this paper, carrier’s generation-based graphene with applicability for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems have been produced via an illumination of graphene by 980 nm. This technique allowed for servicing of a greater number of channels in a WDM system, and the carriers were able to travel in an optical channel with high data rate. Eight carriers, having a frequency spacing (FS) of 25 GHz and full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 500 MHz, were created. These generated carriers were separately modulated with eight optical quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) signals and subsequently optically multiplexed and transmitted to an optical fiber channel. At the receiver side, the received signal was demultiplexed, and the performance of the system was analyzed via calculating the error vector magnitude and constellation diagram of the entire system. Opti System version 17.1 and Matlab software are used for demonstration of WDM system and carrier generation.
Against cognitive homelessness

Williamson (1996, 2000) claims that we are cognitive homeless, and for most aspects of our cognitive life it is not the case that if we are in the mental state S we know or are in a position to know that we are in said mental state. In this paper, I critically examine Williamson’s argument, some common misconceptions, and provide a different understanding of the way we relate to our own mental states that shows how we are not always in a condition of cognitive homelessness.
An Identity of One’s Own: Feminist Ideology and Identity Crisis of an Academic Woman in a Postmodern Feminist Fiction
Authors: BURAN Sumeyra
Published: December 2020

Why academic women struggle to find an identity of their own in “the genderization of science” (Keller, 1984, 78)? Is it because they still “face stereotyping, gendered barriers, exclusion, mobbing, discounting and discrediting in the patriarchal domain of science”? (Buran, 2020). This paper close-reads the interface between feminist ideology and biology that Margaret Drabble develops in her The Millstone (1965), which tells the transition from traditional ideal women to women in crisis in Post-War Britain. This postmodern feminist fiction reconstructs an alternative woman protagonist, Rosamund Stacey, liberated in all facets of life for whom marriage is not the goal but her academic career, as she prefers to remain a single mother without depending on a husband. The aim of this article is to explore how Drabble portrays an academic woman’s self-journey towards a sense of fragmented identity crises of social, familial, professional, and maternal. This is achieved by exploring Rosamund’s quest to find her feminist ideology and true identity flying from body constraints and socially assigned female roles.

Around 17% of the globally generated energy is consumed for residential, commercial, and transportation refrigeration. The current cooling technologies utilize refrigerants with high Ozone Depletion and Global Warming Potentials. Furthermore, the current technologies are expensive alongside with toxicity and flammability hazards. On the other side, energy produced by combustion of fossil fuels results in substantial amounts of waste heat. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new refrigeration technologies that utilize waste heat as a source of energy with ecofriendly refrigerants with zero ozone depletion potential and zero global warming potential. In addition, this thermal mechanical refrigeration (TMR) technology improves the energy efficiency of the source of waste heat system and minimizes the emissions of the carbon dioxide (CO2). In this study, a novel thermo-mechanical refrigeration system is proposed. It operates with low-grade energy sources (such as waste heat) at temperature range of 60 oC to 100 oC. Furthermore, it has the advantage of working with low-frequency driver-compressor unit, which eliminates noise and increases its lifetime. Moreover, the TMR system is adaptable to commercial, transportation, and residential refrigeration applications.

В работе проанализированы данные о частоте обнаружения вирусспецифических антител (АТ) у пациентов с COVID-19, сроках их появления и кинетике сероконверсии. Так, суммарные АТ к коронавирусу SARS-CoV-2 были обнаружены у 55,7 % пациентов, а IgG ‒ у 74,7 % лиц с лабораторно подтвержденной инфекцией COVID-19. Частота их выявления была достоверно выше, чем в других группах обследованных. В течение первых 6 сут кинетика сероконверсии характеризовалась появлением суммарных АТ и IgG у 10,5 и 5,3 % пациентов c COVID-19 соответственно. У большинства заболевших (71,4 %) сероконверсию IgM и IgG регистрировали в период с 7-х по 11-е сутки, а к 22-м суткам суммарные АТ и IgG были обнаружены у 100 % пациентов. Представленные в работе результаты дополняют накопленные в разных странах мира данные, касающиеся формирования гуморального иммунного ответа при COVID-19.

The article presents the analysis of the morphological changes of the periodontal tissues of laboratory animals using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The goal of the study is to create a model of experimental periodontitis and to identify the characteristics of morphological changes in the periodontal tissues using a biomedical cell product based on the allogeneic adipose tissue of MSCs (AT MSCs). The application of a mixture of AT MSCs and osteoinduced AT MSCs (in the ratio of 1:1) allows reducing the time of bone defect regeneration in comparison to that of bone tissue regeneration when AT MSCs and osteoinduced AT MSCs are used separately, which is expressed in the filling of the bone defect with a fibroreticular osteogenic tissue, as well as with a muscle tissue one month after surgery. In 2 months, in the defect area filled with a collagen membrane with a mixture of AT MSCs and osteoinduced AT MSCs, the initial signs of the formation of trabecula of bones were detected, which is evident of a more comprehensive osteosynthesis process compared to the blood clot use.

В статье исследована возможность применения спутниковой информации о снежном покрове для краткосрочного гидрологического прогнозирования на реках Центральной Азии с высокогорными бассейнами. Целью работы является разработка методики для прогнозирования среднедекадного стока рек Варзоб и Тар на основе спутниковых снимков MODIS, обработанных в программе MODSNOW. Задачами исследования было проведение расчетов индекса снежного покрова (SCI) для высотных зон через 200 м для выбранных речных бассейнов; анализ тесноты зависимостей индекса снежного покрова со среднедекадными расходами воды. В результате были получены уравнения, применимые для выпуска оперативных прогнозов водности рек. Получение своевременной и достоверной информация об ожидаемой водности рек на будущую декаду позволяет лицам, принимающим решения (водохозяйственным и гидроэнергетическим организациям, органам по чрезвычайным ситуациям), планировать водообеспечение различных народнохозяйственных отраслей и принимать превентивные меры по предотвращению опасных гидрологических явлений на реках республик Таджикистан и Кыргызстан.
A Study on the Method of Introducing Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers Using Additions
Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Chang Hyewon
Published: December 2020

Whereas proper fractions are natural for young learners from the perspectives of histo-genetics or learning psychology, improper fractions or mixed numbers imply some learning difficulty due to their property of second concepts as they are extended from proper fractions. This study aims to propose an alternative method for teaching improper fractions and mixed numbers meaningfully. Henceforth, critical review was implemented about the teaching period, their definition, and relation to the addition of proper fractions through longitudinal and latitudinal analyses of elementary mathematics textbooks in Korea and some other countries. The results showed that the context of introducing fractions equal to or larger than 1 is especially unsatisfactory. Based on the results, an alternative method for introducing or defining improper fractions and mixed numbers using the addition of proper fractions or the addition of a natural number and a proper fraction has been proposed. To secure the validity of the method, several didactical discussions about the teaching period, method of definition, integration of fractions and their additions, and effective instructional representations have been included in the study.

Published: December 2020

Although the ability to respond to students’ mathematical thinking is important among teachers’ professional noticing, there has been a lack of research investigating such ability among Korean teachers. This study surveyed 95 prospective elementary school teachers with an aim to investigate their responding ability with five sub-components. A written assessment for this study was developed on the basis of students’ solution strategies regarding four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) of whole numbers. The results of this study showed that many teachers were able to identify the core mathematical elements in the student's strategy, interpret the student's strategy by using mathematical concepts and terms, and suggest an appropriate teaching method.
However, some prospective teachers tended to pose inappropriate problems or provide superficial teaching methods in response to the student’s mathematical thinking. It was unusual for them to anticipate the student's future strategies.
Based on the obtained results, this study is expected to suggest the aspects that are further needed for prospective teachers to promote their ability to respond to students’ mathematical thinking.

Published: December 2020

This study's basic premise is to examine the retail investor perspective regarding the decision usefulness of the corporate website. Corporate social media play a vital role in determining stakeholder behavioral intentions. This study's concern is to evaluate how a corporate website, as a corporate social media tool affects retail investor behavioral intentions. The technology acceptance model and signaling theory conjunction provide the foundation for developing the proposed theoretical framework. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) has been carried out to examine the strength of the measurement model statistically. The study's findings suggest that the corporate website as a social media toll positively influences the retail investor behavioral intention. The perceived ease of use positively impacts the actual usage intention of the corporate website by investors to effectively make their investment decisions. Similarly, the perceived usefulness of corporate websites significantly impacts the investor's behavioral intentions to engage in corporate social media. The proposed model is novel to insight the retail investor investment decision in the context of Pakistan. The study has implications for retail investors, listed companies on the stock exchange and regulators to understand how corporate websites remain robust for informed asset allocation decisions.
