Published: June 2024

Understanding volcanic eruption triggers is critical towards
anticipating future activity. While internal magma dynamics typically
receive more attention, the influence of external processes remains less
understood. In this context, we explore the relationship between
seasonal snow cycles and eruptive activity at Ruapehu, New Zealand. This
is motivated by apparent seasonality in the eruptive record, where a
higher than expected proportion of eruptions (post-1960) occur in spring
(including the two previous eruptions of 2006 and 2007). Employing
recent advancements in passive seismic interferometry, we compute
sub-surface seismic velocity changes between 2005–2009 using the
cross-wavelet transform approach. Opposite trends in velocities are
identified on and off the volcano, with stations closest to the summit
recording a winter high closely correlated with the presence of snow.
Inverting for depth suggests these changes occur within the upper
200–300 m. Reduced water infiltration (as precipitation falls as snow)
is considered the likely control of seasonal velocities, while modeling
also points to a contribution from snow-loading. We hypothesise that
this latter process may play a crucial role towards explaining
seasonality in the eruptive record. Specifically, loading/unloading may
influence the volcanic system through increased degassing, thereby
increasing the likelihood of small, gas-driven, eruptions. Our findings
shed light on the complex interactions between volcanoes and external
environmental processes, highlighting the need for more focused research
in this area. Pursuing this line of inquiry has significant implications
towards improved risk and hazard assessments at not just Ruapehu, but
also other volcanoes globally that experience seasonal snow cover.

Published: June 2024

Northeast India, with its variety of geographical features and
topography, provides a plethora of niches for species to evolve and
thrive. Among a multitude of factors, past climate change is one of the
important factors influencing primate speciation in this region.
Populations of various species could have risen or declined in response
to these climatic fluctuations. Recent advances in climate modelling as
well as genomic data analysis has paved the way for understanding how
species accumulate at a particular geographic region. We utilized these
methods to explore the primate diversity in the unique region of
northeast India. To ascertain these population level changes, we
inferred demographic history of nine species of primates found in
northeast India with MSMC2 and compared it with species distribution
models using past climate data of Pliocene and Pleistocene period.
Through this study, we are able to give a detailed picture of how past
climatic changes have affected the present species diversity and we show
that the primate diversity in northeast India is a mix of species either
originated there or have dispersed from mainland southeast Asia. We
observe that effective population size has decreased for all the
species, but distributions are different for all the four genera,
Macaca, Trachypithecus, Hoolock and Nycticebus, and this provides
important insights pertaining to present primate diversity in the
region. It also gives an idea about how each species is affected
differently by climate change, and why it should be given emphasis in
framing species-wise conservation models for future climate change.
Process intensification for hydrogen production in protruded reactors with enhanced heat and mass transfer
Authors: Chen Junjie
Published: June 2024

The present study focuses upon the physics of heat and mass transfer
processes in a protruded millisecond microchannel reactor, wherein a
steam reforming reaction is proceeding and protrusions are used to
improve the transport processes involved. Parametric analysis of the
reactor system is carried out using a three-dimensional numerical model
that is sufficiently detailed to delineate the role of geometric
features and operation conditions in reactor performance. Computational
fluid dynamics analyses are performed under different sets of
circumstances. In analysing the mechanisms involved in the intensified
processes, account is taken of the factors that may influence the
reactor performance. New insights into the physics of the processes are
presented, with recommendations on how to optimize reactor design for
better performance. The results indicate that the flow rates and feed
compositions must be adjusted as needed to maximize production of
hydrogen and minimize pressure drops. Protrusions are very effective in
improving the transport processes involved without greatly impairing
hydraulic performance. Methanol can be converted effectively to hydrogen
due to the successive continuous interruptions in the presence of
hemispherical protrusions. Necessary adjustments to the molar ratio of
steam to methanol can be made to control the maximum reactor temperature
within certain needed limits. Protrusions can be used to improve the
conversion and productivity due to enhanced heat and mass transfer, as
they behave as a baffle to direct flow of the reforming process flow
stream.

Molecular dynamics study of thermal rippling phenomena of pristine and functionalised graphene
Authors: Chen Junjie
Published: June 2024

Little research has been conducted to determine the thermal properties
and phenomena of graphane and fluorographene. A clear understanding of
the thermal problems involved is needed, which may provide a basis for
further research on other material properties. In the present study,
molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the thermal
properties of graphane and fluorographene and especially the phenomena
involved, including thermal fluctuations and bending rigidities.
Furthermore, comparisons of thermal properties and the phenomena
involved were made computationally between pristine and functionalised
graphene. The thermal fluctuations and bending rigidities were
determined at different temperatures. The present study aims to provide
a clear understanding of the thermal problems involved in hydrogenated
and fluorinated graphene. The results indicated that while thermally
excited ripples spontaneously appear in graphene, fully hydrogenated or
fluorinated graphene is substantially unrippled due to their very high
bending rigidities. There is no significant effect of thermal rippling
throughout graphane and fluorographene due to their very high bending
rigidities. However, partially hydrogenated or fluorinated graphene
exhibits strong thermal fluctuations. Graphene behaves differently from
graphane and fluorographene with regard to the dependence of bending
rigidity on temperature. Furthermore, significant out-of-plane
fluctuations may occur in partially fluorinated graphene. Thermal
fluctuations of graphene are more sensitive to temperature than those of
graphane and fluorographene.

Rootzone Soil Moisture Dynamics Using Terrestrial Water-Energy Coupling
Authors: Sehgal Vinit , Mohanty Binayak , Reichle Rolf
Published: June 2024

A lack of high-density rootzone soil moisture
(θ) observations limits the estimation
of continental-scale, space-time
contiguous θ dynamics. We derive a proxy
of daily θ dynamics ― active
rootzone degree of saturation (S ) ― by
recursive low-pass (LP) filtering of surface soil moisture
(θ) within a terrestrial water-energy
coupling (WEC) framework. We estimate the LP filter parameters and WEC
thresholds for the piecewise-linear coupling between
S and evaporative fraction (EF) at
remote sensing and field scale over Contiguous U.S. We
use θ from Soil Moisture Active-Passive
(SMAP) satellite and 218 in-situ stations, with EF from Moderate
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer. The estimated
S  shows high validation skill against
SMAP Level-4 estimates and in-situ θ, at
the corresponding scale. The instantaneous hydrologic state
of S vis-à-vis the WEC thresholds is
proposed as a rootzone soil moisture stress index
(SMS) for near-real-time operational agricultural
drought monitoring― demonstrating high agreement with established
drought metrics.

As etnografias com comunidades pescadoras tradicionais da faixa atlântica do Brasil Meridional realizadas, tanto pela Antropologia como pela Socioantropologia da pesca demonstram, reiteradamente, que a agricultura é essencial para a consolidação de ummodo de vida. Na Arqueologia é voz corrente, desde o XIX, que os sambaquis materializam práticas milenares de pesca e coleta de moluscos, caracterizando as mais antigas comunidades pescadoras do litoral. No entanto, foi apenas no início do XXI que aArqueologia passou a identificar micro vestígios vegetais nesses sítios. Hoje é possível cruzar os dados de mais de duas décadas de pesquisas em Antracologia e Paleobotânica com as dinâmicas sociais registradas pela Etnoecologia e etnografias, para seguir avançando na tentativa de compreender os modos de vida das sociedades que deram origem aos sambaquis do Brasil Meridional.
A note on a transverse magnetic field controlled co-current bubble column
Authors: Hristov Jordan , Pesic Radojica
Published: June 2024

An experimental study has been carried out investigating the fluidization behavior of a bubble column with a bottom magnetic particle bed controlled by an external transverse magnetic field. The magnetization-first/gas-scanning mode was applied, at up to 45 kA m-1 field intensity, with liquid superficial velocities of up to 20 mm s-1 and with a gas flowrate of up to 8 m3 h-1. Particle fractions of two different sizes of up to 1 mm were used. The focus has been both on the three-phase magnetic particle bed expansion playing the role of a gas distributor and the gas holdup of the abovepositioned two-phase section, as well as related column parameters. Piezometric measurements have been performed that provided detection of the position of the interface between the two column sections without visual observation, as well as the gas holdup in the two-phase zone. The bed expansion was strongly affected by the bed state created by the initially established liquid flow rate. The results showed that the intensity of the field applied to the magnetic solids allows control both of bed expansion and internal bed structure, so the applicability of magnetically assisted three-phase beed as a gas distributor in bubble column seems promising.

Playing in Several Languages: Supporting Multilingual Participation in Preschool
This study aims to investigate the use of multiple languages in narrative play and how preschool teachers support the participation of multilingual children in these activities. Play activities have been documented by video and analyzed using Interaction Analysis. The results indicate that participants use various named languages to communicate about the rules and content of play, in metacommunication about language use during play, and in contexts related to holidays and popular culture. The study highlights how a translanguaging approach can be applied by legitimizing the use of multiple languages, prompting children to communicate in multiple languages, and metacommunicating about language in play. By emphasizing the importance of translanguaging in play activities and recognizing multilingualism as a resource, the study contributes to the understanding of how preschool teachers can support language development in a multilingual preschool environment.
Novel approaches to the study of the heavy meson spectrum at finite temperature
Authors:   , Page Benjamin
Published: June 2024

This thesis is structured in three broad sections. The ﬁrst presents a brief intro-duction to the ﬁeld of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and regularisation methods, which precedes a more thorough description of the lattice ﬁeld theoretic approach to QCD and its non-relativistic formalism, NRQCD, which is used in the analysis contained within this document. The second section introduces the ﬁrst problem of interest, spectral reconstruction in the case of bottomonium mesons. We focus in particular on the Laplacian nature of the problem and present the Backus-Gilbert method as a means of pro-ducing regularised solutions. The resolving power of the method is discussed and the overall approach is then extended with the inclusion of a novel technique known as Laplace shifting, which takes advantage of the structure of the problem to pro-vide a controlled resolution improvement to the method. A study of this technique is presented and applied to results obtained from Fastsum’s anisotropic NRQCD ensembles from which connections with a known phenomenon in Monte-Carlo based physics called Parisi-Lepage statistical scaling are elucidated. The third and ﬁnal section focuses on probing the temperature dependence of the gluon propagator again calculated using the Fastsum Gen-2L ensembles. We begin by showing results for the propagator in the Coulomb gauge, before extending to the Landau gauge where we discuss the necessary modiﬁcations to support the lattice anisotropy.

Aim. To study the effect of malignant tumor growth on level of cAMP in mitochondria of cardiomyocytes in mice with chronic neuropathic pain.

Materials and Methods. С57ВL/6 mice (n = 336) have been grouped as follows: intact mice (♂n = 21; ♀n = 21), mice with chronic neuropathic pain (♂n = 21; ♀n = 21), mice with melanoma В16/F10 (♂n=63; ♀n=63), and mice with melanoma В16/ F10 and chronic neuropathic pain (♂n=63; ♀n=63). After 1, 2, and 3 weeks of the melanoma growth, cardiac mitochondria of abovementioned mice have been isolated by the centrifugation with the following measurement of cAMP.

Results. Chronic neuropathic pain has induced a 3.6-fold reduction in cAMP in cardiac mitochondria of female mice. In mice with melanoma В16/ F10, cardiac cAMP showed 4-fold average increase from the 2nd week of the tumor growth, while in mice with melanoma В16/F10 and chronic neuropathic pain a 2-4-fold increase in cAMP was recorded as soon as from the 1st week of tumor growth, eventually leading to the depletion of cAMP by the 3rd week of the experiment. Serum cAMP concentration did not correlate with the cAMP level in cardiac mitochondria and was reduced in both males and females.

Conclusion. Alterations in cAMP concentration in cardiac mitochondria were gender-specific, as female mice responded to a chronic neuropathic pain without other triggers. In mice with melanoma and chronic neuropathic pain, cAMP level raised significantly earlier than in mice without chronic neuropathic pain, resulting in full cAMP depletion by the 3rd week of the experiment.
Placental Disorders as a Risk Factor for the Development of Postpartum Haemorrhage
Authors: Belokrinitskaya T. E. , Sidorkina A. G. , Mudrov V. A.
Published: June 2024

The placenta is a functional link between mother and fetus during pregnancy and the most important factor determining newborn and infant health. Postpartum hemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide and is affected by numerous factors including placental size. Here we analysed the role of placental disorders as a risk factor for the development of postpartum hemorrhage. We screened the available literature via PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and eLibrary from 2001 to October 2023. Placental insufficiency may cause either hyperplasia (i.e., placental expansion to meet the nutritional needs of the growing fetus) or hypoplasia, which cause deficiency in nutrients and oxygen and slows down fetal growth and development. Both of these conditions significantly affect the probability and volume of postpartum haemorrhage.

Islamic Law Reform in Indonesia: A Perspective on Muhammad Abid Al-Jabiri’s Thought
Authors: Hsb Putra Halomoan , Batubara Rajali
Published: June 2024

This study explores the handling of tradition (turath) within Arab society, particularly in the context of modernity and progress. It focuses on the contributions of ‘Abed al-Jabiri, a prominent Muslim philosopher, whose ideas underscore the value of tradition during times of rapid social change. Utilizing a descriptive analysis method, this research examines the interpretation of the Qur’an and Hadith to assess the relevance of ancient scholarly findings to contemporary issues. The study highlights how Islamic feminism, viewed through the lens of Irfani epistemology, seeks to reconstruct these classical insights to align with modern ideals. Islamic feminism is presented as a humanistic ideal rooted in conscience, guided by moral and ethical principles encompassing universal goodness (ma’ruf), individual goodness (khair), happiness (sa’adah), and virtuous deeds (fadhilah). This paper contributes to the discourse on integrating traditional Islamic thought with modern feminist principles, offering a perspective enriched with ethical and spiritual dimensions.

The Conspicuous Colour Blue - ‘Lapis Lazuli’ - In the History of Art
Authors:   Weifang Institute of Technology, Qingzhou. China, Patron Ernesto Carlos Pujazon , Elias Jose Domingo ,   Potificia Universidad Catolica del Peru, Peru.
Published: June 2024

Colour plays a fundamental role in human perception and its effects on cognition and behaviour have intrigued generations of researchers. The intent of this two-part paper is to provide a wider understanding of the history and evolution from its early beginnings. It also analyses the diverse characteristics of plant-based colours and minerals that produce this intriguing colour called, ‘blue’. Although a large amount of research has been conducted in this domain, the psychological processes through which colour operates, have not been explored comprehensively. As a result, the field has observed certain conflicting results. The first part of this article studies the colour ‘blue’ as a pigment. Besides, it also offers some early development of the colour ‘blue’ in the light spectrum set by the initial developments in the history of science. The second part examines how ‘blue’ has long proven a problem for artists. There are a few materials that are blue in their natural state, that can serve as pigments for painters. During the Renaissance period, artists used a pigment called natural ultramarine (Lapis-Lazuli), lauded for its rich and striking appearance to capture the great beyond, this mineral was introduced by Venetian merchants and brought originally from the mines of Afghanistan, located in the remote province of Badakhshan. It is very common when religion, science, and the arts meet to apply philosophies which are interwoven around historical and social events to present science as human, relevant and a lively endeavour. Finally, this paper brings to a conclusion a short briefing of the works of two of the most expressive artists, Giotto and Titian, and the usage of lapis lazuli - (Ultramarine) in the development of their colour palette.

In recent years, wabi-sabi has become a popular trend in product design. While consumerism encourages the masses to pursue ‘perfection,’ ‘luxury,’ and ‘sophistication,’ a materialism that is detrimental to human well-being and the environment, the wabi-sabi aesthetic The acceptance of ‘imperfection,’ ‘incompleteness,’ and ‘impermanence’ in the concept of wabi-sabi helps to alleviate the pervasive social anxiety and establish a positive mental state. Notably, in the contemporary context, wabi-sabi is no longer confined to Japanese philosophy and aesthetics, but has become a global design trend. Wabi-sabi aesthetics is closely related to the concept of sustainable design, yet there is little theoretical knowledge about its sustainability in product design. Based on this premise, this paper discusses the transformation of wabi-sabi from aesthetics to design in a contemporary context and its sustainability in ceramic product design through background research and theoretical understanding of sustainable product design. Ultimately, this paper develops theoretically insightful knowledge of sustainable design for ceramic products to help potential ceramic designers and producers understand the wabi-sabi aesthetic from a sustainable design perspective.

Social media serves as a widely utilized channel for communication between businesses and individuals. Self-engagement on social media is a crucial aspect of online behaviour, shaping both individual experiences and digital communities. Hence, this paper focuses on the layout content and its contribution to cognitive processes in relation to users' self-engagement. The methodology employed in this paper is literature-based, with data collected from numerous sources. The findings suggest that the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) can serve as a theoretical framework, providing an understanding of persuasion mechanisms via peripheral routes. This model holds particular significance in the realm of self-engagement, where users interact with content using diverse cognitive processes. Social media platforms have the capacity to adjust and improve their features to align with user preferences, ensuring a more fulfilling and satisfying user experience. By employing successful tactics grounded in theoretical frameworks such as the ELM, companies and individuals can refine their strategies for engagement and communication on social platforms.

This study investigates the efficacy of using creative visuals and their potential to legitimize and represent dynamic imagery in the fight against prejudice and discrimination against women. This study aims to understand more about how abused women feel. This study will demonstrate how groundbreaking it is to capture a woman's emotional speech, which manifests in any form where emotions are expressed, giving women who don't have one a voice and providing them with a secure opportunity to express their deepest thoughts and feelings through visual expression art.
Taiwán: desaceleración económica, diplomacia de semiconductores y la carrera por la presidencia
Authors: Fonseca Fabricio
Published: June 2024

Tras las elecciones locales de 2022, la sociedad en Taiwán entró formalmente a la antesala de los comicios presidenciales de 2024. Los temas que marcaron la agenda fueron el deterioro de las relaciones con China continental y el estrechamiento de vínculos con Estados Unidos. La fragmentación de la oposición y la pronta selección de un candidato oficialista marcaron las precampañas hasta agosto de 2023. Sin embargo, la desaceleración de la economía mundial tuvo un impacto directo en el sector externo de la economía taiwanesa. Este informe hace un repaso del desarrollo de Taiwán durante el periodo señalado en esta edición del Anuario Asia Pacífico El Colegio de México.
On the political ontology of making things up in political ecology critique: Responding to Bormpoudakis (2019) and Knudsen (2023)
Authors: Sullivan Sian
Published: June 2024

I engage with two recent articles published in the Journal of Political Ecology, both of which critique political ecology engagements with ontological and epistemological complexities. These complexities might be distilled into the idea that how 'the world' is socially known also shapes how the world is known to be. I explore three key issues worked through in these papers, partly with reference to work of mine, namely: 1) conservation struggles around biodiversity offsetting; 2) debates regarding plural and relational ontologies, particularly representations of 'flatness' and 'depth' in ontological considerations; and 3) critical realism, specifically distinctions between perspectives on transitive and intransitive dimensions in qualifying understandings of reality. I highlight a pernicious problem of dismissive approaches towards analysts trying to ask difficult and subtle questions about 'onto-epistemology.' This situation seems surprising given the effort in political ecology towards recognising and respecting plural knowledges, particularly knowledges often overridden by discourses emboldened by structures of power. My overall aim is towards clarity in ongoing political ecology debate on these issues, alongside the pursuit of respectful praxis in this burgeoning area of engagement.
Serologic profiling of D variants in donor routine: unveiling the impact on false-negative results and alloimmunization

The high number of D variants can lead to the unnecessary use of Rh immune globulin, overuse of D− RBC units, and anti-D allommunization. D variant prevalence varies among ethnic groups, and knowledge of the main variants present in a specific population, their behavior in serologic tests, and their impact on clinical practice is crucial to define the best serologic tests for routine use. The present study aimed to explore the serologic profile of D variants and to determine which variants are most associated with false-negative D typing results and alloimmunization. Donor samples were selected in two study periods. During the first period, D typing was performed on a semi-automated instrument in microplates, and weak D tests were conducted in tube or gel tests. In the second period, D typing was carried out using an automated instrument with microplates, and weak D tests were performed in solid phase. Samples from patients typed as D+ with anti-D were also selected. All samples were characterized by molecular testing. A total of 37 RHD variants were identified. Discrepancies and atypical reactivity without anti-D formation were observed in 83.4 percent of the samples, discrepant D typing results between donations were seen in 12.3 percent, and D+ patients with anti-D comprised 4.3 percent. DAR1.2 was the most prevalent variant. Weak D type 38 was responsible for 75 percent of discrepant samples, followed by weak D type 11, predominantly detected by solid phase. Among the D variants related to alloimmunization, DIVa was the most prevalent, which was not recognized by serologic testing; the same was true for DIIIc. The results highlight the importance of selecting tests for donor screening capable of detecting weak D types 38 and 11, especially in populations where these variants are more prevalent. In pre-transfusion testing, it is crucial that D typing reagents demonstrate weak reactivity with DAR variants; having a serologic strategy to recognize DIVa and DIIIc is also valuable.
When and why is red blood cell genotyping applicable in transfusion medicine: a systematic review of the literature
Authors: Akinbolaji Thompson J.
Published: June 2024

This review aims to provide a better understanding of when and why red blood cell (RBC) genotyping is applicable in transfusion medicine. Articles published within the last 8 years in peer-reviewed journals were reviewed in a systematic manner. RBC genotyping has many applications in transfusion medicine including predicting a patient’s antigen profile when serologic methods cannot be used, such as in a recently transfused patient, in the presence of autoantibody, or when serologic reagents are not available. RBC genotyping is used in prenatal care to determine zygosity and guide the administration of Rh immune globulin in pregnant women to prevent hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn. In donor testing, RBC genotyping is used for resolving ABO/D discrepancies for better donor retention or for identifying donors negative for high-prevalence antigens to increase blood availability and compatibility for patients requiring rare blood. RBC genotyping is helpful to immunohematology reference laboratory staff performing complex antibody workups and is recommended for determining the antigen profiles of patients and prospective donors for accurate matching for C, E, and K in multiply transfused patients. Such testing is also used to determine patients or donors with variant alleles in the Rh blood group system. Information from this testing aides in complex antibody identification as well as sourcing rare allele-matched RBC units. While RBC genotyping is useful in transfusion medicine, there are limitations to its implementation in transfusion services, including test availability, turn-around time, and cost.
