Spatial Agents for Geological Surface Modelling
Authors: de Kemp Eric A.
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Semi-autonomous software entities called spatial agents can be programmed to perform spatial and property interrogation functions, estimations and construction operations for simple graphical objects, that may be usable in building three-dimensional geological surfaces. These surfaces form the building blocks from which full topological models are built and may be useful in sparse data environments, where ancillary or a-priori information is available. Critical in developing natural domain models is the use of gradient information. Increasing the density of spatial gradient information (fabric dips, fold plunges, local or regional anisotropies) from geologic feature orientations (planar and linear) is key to more accurate geologic modelling, and core to the functions of spatial agents presented herein. This study, for the first time, examines the potential use of spatial agents to increase these types of gradient constraints in the context of the Loop 3D project (loop3d.org) in which new complementary methods are being developed for modelling complex geology for regional applications. The Spatial Agent codes presented may act to densify and supplement gradient and on contact control points used in LoopStructural (www.github.com/Loop3d/LoopStructural) and Map2Loop (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4288476). Spatial agents are used to represent common geological data constraints such as interface locations and gradient geometry, and simple but topologically consistent triangulated meshes. Spatial agents can potentially be used to develop surfaces that conform to reasonable geological patterns of interest, provided they are embedded with behaviors that are reflective of the knowledge of their geological environment. Initially this would involve detecting simple geological constraints; locations, trajectories and trends of geological interfaces. Local and global eigenvectors enable spatial continuity estimates which can reflect geological trends with rotational bias using a quaternion implementation. Spatial interpolation of structural geology orientation data with spatial agents employ a range of simple nearest neighbour to inverse distance weighted (IDW) and quaternion based spherical linear interpolation (SLERP) schemes. This simulation environment implemented in NetLogo is potentially useful for complex geology - sparse data environments where extension, projection and propagation functions are needed to create more realistic geological forms.
Imaging crustal structures through a passive seismic imaging approach in a mining area in Saxony, Germany

Published: April 2021

Abstract. We have used several flooding induced microseismic events that occurred in an abandoned mining area to image geological structures close to the hypocentres in the vicinity of the mine. The events have been located using a migration-based localization approach. We used the recorded full waveforms of these localized microseismic events and have processed these passive source data as if they resulted from active sources at the known hypocentre location and origin time defined by the applied location approach. The imaging was then performed by using a focusing 3D prestack depth migration approach for the secondary P-wave arrivals. The needed 3D migration velocity model was taken from a recent 3D active (controlled-source) seismic survey in that area. We observed several clear and pronounced reflectors in our obtained 3D seismic image cube, some of them related to a major fault zone in that area and some correlating well with information from the nearby mining activities. We compared our results to the 3D seismic image cube obtained directly from the 3D active seismic survey and have found new structures with our approach that were not know yet, probably because of their steep dips which the 3D active seismic survey had not illuminated. The location of the hypocentres at depth with respect to the illumination angles of those structures proved to be favourable in that case, and our 3D passive image complements the 3D active seismic image in an elegant way thereby revealing new structures that cannot be imaged otherwise with surface seismic configurations alone.
On the attribution of industrial-era glacier mass loss to anthropogenic climate change
Authors: Roe Gerard H. , Christian John Erich , Marzeion Ben
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Around the world, small ice caps and glaciers have been
losing mass and retreating since the start of the industrial era. Estimates are that
this has contributed approximately 30 % of the observed sea-level rise
over the same period. It is important to understand the relative importance
of natural and anthropogenic components of this mass loss. One recent study
concluded that the best estimate of the magnitude of the anthropogenic mass
loss over the industrial era was only 25 % of the total, implying a
predominantly natural cause. Here we show that the
anthropogenic fraction of the total mass loss of a given glacier depends
only on the magnitudes and rates of the natural and anthropogenic components
of climate change and on the glacier's response time. We consider climate
change over the past millennium using synthetic scenarios, palaeoclimate
reconstructions, numerical climate simulations, and instrumental
observations. We use these climate histories to drive a glacier model that
can represent a wide range of glacier response times, and we evaluate the
magnitude of the anthropogenic mass loss relative to the observed mass loss.
The slow cooling over the preceding millennium followed by the rapid
anthropogenic warming of the industrial era means that, over the full range
of response times for small ice caps and glaciers, the central estimate of
the magnitude of the anthropogenic mass loss is essentially 100 % of the
observed mass loss. The anthropogenic magnitude may exceed 100 % in the
event that, without anthropogenic climate forcing, glaciers would otherwise
have been gaining mass. Our results bring assessments of the attribution of
glacier mass loss into alignment with assessments of others aspects of
climate change, such as global-mean temperature. Furthermore, these results
reinforce the scientific and public understanding of centennial-scale
glacier retreat as an unambiguous consequence of human activity.

This research was motivated by the importance of workers harvesting oil palm fruit on productivity. One of the stages of oil palm cultivation is harvesting, which is one of the key determinants of oil palm productivity. Productive labor can be seen from the achievement of targets set by the company or the difference between the results obtained and the task bases that have been determined by the company. This has prompted researchers to analyze the factors that influence the productivity of oil palm harvesting workers.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of age, years of service, and level of education on the productivity of harvesters and to calculate the value of labor productivity in oil palm harvesting. In data analysis using descriptive method, where the data obtained from direct interviews with oil palm harvesting employees by asking several questions that have been prepared and will be processed using the SPSS method, respondents were taken as many as 35 respondents from all afdeling using the Slovin formula.

The results showed that the labor productivity of oil palm harvesters at PT. WIN is significantly influenced by age and education factors. Meanwhile, tenure does not have a significant effect on labor productivity of harvesters. The productivity of harvesting labor that was achieved was 135 hrs / HOK, having exceeded the company's target of 110 hrs / HOK.

In Batuah Village, production of pepper has decreased due to land fires, land conversion to the mining sector and changes in other crop commodities and the price of pepper which is always changing and tends to decline. The welfare of farmers can be realized starting from increased income, increased production, and high purchase prices. The factor that causes farmers to feel less prosperous and not yet developed is that the price of pepper is bought cheaply by middlemen or collectors.

The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of pepper farmers and whether there is an effect of changes in pepper prices on farmer welfare. The results showed that rcount <rtabel (-0.331 <0.396), and it can be concluded that there is a very weak influence between the effect of price and the welfare of pepper farmers. It can be assumed that it is not only pepper plants that are planted by pepper farmers so that pepper farmers do not depend only on the commodity of the pepper plant.

La Ley 19/2013 de transparencia, acceso a la información pública y buen gobierno tiene como objetivo primordial la puesta en práctica del derecho de acceso de los ciudadanos a la información, para conocer los criterios bajo los que se adoptan las decisiones dirigidas a la aplicación de los recursos públicos, de manera que la ciudadanía pueda fiscalizar de forma directa la actuación de los organismos públicos y privados que quedan bajo el ámbito de la legislación citada, al que también pertenecen los partidos políticos. En el contexto descrito, el objetivo del presente trabajo es evaluar el nivel de transparencia alcanzado por las formaciones políticas en España, a través de la información que facilitan en sus respectivas páginas web oficiales. A tal efecto, se diseñaron sendos índices de transparencia desde la perspectiva organizativa y económica sobre una muestra de partidos políticos con representación parlamentaria desde la instauración de la democracia en España, con el fin de conocer sus puntuaciones de transparencia, así como la relación entre ambos índices a través de la aplicación de un modelo econométrico. Los resultados revelan un escaso nivel de transparencia de la mayoría de las formaciones políticas analizadas, tanto en el ámbito organizativo como económico, detectándose una relación positiva entre los índices de transparencia organizativa y económica, especialmente influenciada por la funcionalidad de las páginas web de dichos entes.

Esse trabalho é um recorte da dissertação de mestrado intitulada “As percepções de gênero das docentes no curso de Licenciatura em Química do Instituto Federal do Rio Grande do Norte”. Discutimos a visão das docentes que atuam nas disciplinas do núcleo específico do curso de Licenciatura em Química sobre as questões de gênero que permeiam a sociedade. A metodologia adotada partiu de entrevistas semiestruturadas com cinco docentes do Curso de Licenciatura em Química do IFRN com o objetivo de analisar suas percepções acerca das questões de gênero na sociedade. Os dados qualitativos coletados foram trabalhados por meio da Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD) proposta por Moraes e Galiazzi (2007, 2016). Constatou-se que as desigualdades entre gêneros são “perceptíveis” no cotidiano, pois não só as entrevistadas, mas a instituição onde atuam, estão inseridas em uma realidade e em uma sociedade marcadas pela divisão dos sexos, a submissão de um sexo sobre outro, enquanto deveria prevalecer a equidade.
Chaves de leitura para a análise do discurso político sobre educação e educação profissional
Authors: Gonçalves Irlen Antônio
Published: April 2021

Esse texto discute sobre possíveis chaves de leitura para a análise do discurso político sobre educação e educação profissional na virada do século XIX para o século XX. O discurso político será considerado como prática de linguagem que medeia a relação entre o sujeito e a sua realidade natural e social constituindo-o e à sua história. Dessa forma, tal discurso visava intervir na vida social, com vistas a produzir novos comportamentos, sensibilidades e expectativas. A discussão conceitual dialoga com aportes da História Política, da História dos Conceitos e da História da Linguagem. Do ponto de vista metodológico, propomos uma análise que privilegia os discursos como portadores e constituintes de uma representação de sociedade, de sujeitos, de estratégias, enfim de uma realidade social inspirada nos referencias da análise do discurso político proposta por Patrick Charaudeau. Dentro dessa perspectiva, apresentaremos as seguintes chaves de leitura: formação/profissão, geração e pertencimento familiar.

construção histórica do sujeito nas obras de Paulo Freire
Authors: Oliveira Soares Rodrigo de
Published: April 2021

Esse trabalho é resultado de uma pesquisa desenvolvida no Instituto Federal de Goiás (Campus Senador Canedo) tendo como objetivo fazer uma reflexão sobre o pensamento de Paulo Freire, sobretudo quanto a contribuição que esse intelectual oferta ao exercício da Teoria e Ensino de História. E nesse sentido, compreender como os historiadores podem utilizá-lo como um valioso aporte para as reflexões em torno da ciência histórica e seu ensino, tomando como premissa a possibilidade se construir com uma relação pedagógica que visa transformação dos indivíduos em sujeitos autônomos e livres intelectualmente em relação com o mundo. Essa visão sobre a relação de ensino-aprendizado inscrita nas reflexões de Paulo Freire tem como ponto de partida a própria vida dos sujeitos envolvidos nesse processo, ou, em outras palavras, a história de vida daqueles que se apresentam dentro desse processo objetivando por meio da educação sua própria constituição de humanização. De modo objetivo, a proposta central desse trabalho é, portanto, o de investigar como essa potencialidade acerca de como o pensamento de Paulo Freire contribui para o próprio processo de desenvolvimento da consciência histórica dos envolvidos no campo pedagógico pela via da historicidade.

No presente artigo, procuraremos contribuir para o debate sobre a violência contra a juventude negra e pobre do Brasil correlacionado sua condição social ao preconceito, racismo, discriminação racial, xenofobia e intolerância correlata. Neste contexto, a reflexão sobre essa violência, que segundo os dados estatísticos já se configuram como forma de genocídio explicito contra esse segmento social, leva-nos a manifestar como pesquisador no âmbito da academia no sentido de apontar algumas causas que em nosso entendimento ilustram esse quadro perverso e caótico contra a população que denominamos de “afro-brasileira” (pretos e pardos) ou juventude negra e pobre (tratamento que daremos as vítimas dessa tragédia social). Como resultados esperados, objetivamos ampliar esse debate no espaço acadêmico apontando algumas hipóteses sobre as origens das causas da violência e do genocídio contra a juventude negra e pobre e, simultaneamente, apontaremos alguns caminhos encontrados para superação dessa problemática.

A single dose of simvastatin and of artesunate monotherapy cause damage to the reproductive system of schistosomes as well as severe tegumental damage in male worms recovered from mice fed high-fat chow. This study aims to investigate whether treatment with multipledose regimes may offer more antischistosomal activity advantages than single daily dosing in mice fed high-fat chow. For this purpose, nine weeks post-infection, Swiss Webster mice were gavaged with simvastatin (200 mg/kg) or artesunate (300 mg/kg) for five consecutive days and euthanized two weeks post-treatment. Adult worms were analyzed using brightfieldmicroscopy, confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, presenting damages caused by simvastatin and artesunate to the reproductive system of males and females as well as tegument alterations, including peeling, sloughing areas, loss of tubercles, tegumental bubbles and tegument rupture exposing subtegumental tissue. The overall findings in this study revealed the potential antischistosomal activity of simvastatin and artesunate against Schistosoma mansoni adult worms, in addition to showing that multiple doses of either monotherapy caused severe damage to the tegument.KEY WORDS: Schistosoma mansoni; hyperlipidemia; simvastatin; artesunate; microscopy.

Este estudo objetiva observar e descrever a trajetória linguística de “Michelle”, do filme Black, personagem que parte de um estado animal ao estado humano. Para tanto, a discussão, acerca de indivíduo e de sujeito, fundamenta-se em Condillac, Humboldt, Whitney, Saussure, Sapir, Chomsky, Herder, Bloomfield e Platão. Paralelo aos teóricos está a trajetória de “Michelle”, que inicialmente é oprimida pela falta de entendimento de mundo ao seu redor, depois passa pelo aprendizado da língua e, finalmente, ao domínio da língua, ritmando-se rumo à coletividade. Foi possível constatar certa correspondência entre as discussões filosóficas e linguísticas e a referida obra cinematográfica.

Authors: Castaldi Maria , Palmer Mathias , Con Jorge , Abouezzi Ziad , Latifi Rifat , Bergamaschi Roberto
Published: April 2021

Technology has had a dramatic impact on how diseases are diagnosed and treated. Although cut, sew, and tie remain the staples of surgical craft, new technical skills are required. While there is no replacement for live operative experience, training outside the operating room offers structured educational opportunities and stress modulation. A stepwise program for acquiring new technical skills required in robotic surgery involves three modules: ergonomic, psychomotor, and procedural. This is a prospective, educational research protocol aiming at evaluating the responsiveness of general surgery residents in Robotic-Assisted Surgery Training (RAST). Responsiveness is defined as change in performance over time. Performance is measured by the following content-valid metrics for each module. Module 1 proficiency in ergonomics includes: cart deploy, boom control, cart driving, camera port docking, targeting anatomy, flex joint, clearance joint and port nozzle adjusting, and routine and emergent undocking. Module 2 proficiency in psychomotor skills includes tissue handling, accuracy error, knot quality, and operating time. Module 3 proficiency in procedural skills prevents deviations from standardized sequential procedural steps in order to test length of specimen resection, angle for transection, vessel stump length post ligation, distance of anastomosis from critical landmarks, and proximal and distal resection margins. Resident responsiveness over time will be assessed comparing the results of baseline testing with final testing. Educational interventions will include viewing one instructional video prior to module commencement, response to module-specific multiple-choice questions, and individual weekly training sessions with a robotic instructor in the operating room. Residents will progress through modules upon successful final testing and will evaluate the educational environment with the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) inventory.
The RAST program protocol outlined herein is an educational challenge with the primary endpoint to provide evidence that formal instruction has an impact on proficiency and safety in executing robotic skills.

IN A MODERN BUSINESS STRUCTURE, A RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICE IS PREFERRED
Authors: Shanidze Goderdzi
Published: April 2021

If we could identify a business risk in advance and solve it easily, business would probably lose its main charm. Risk is one of the essential components of business.
Only proper identification of risks, their measurement - evaluation and selection of an effective method of reduction are not enough to improve risk management; It is necessary to develop an optimal organizational structure, develop an organizational culture and properly manage the risk management control process. In developed countries, almost all large and medium-sized organizations have a special link in the management system. "Risk Management Center", (Corporate governance) which helps accountable entities assess risks, develop and implement manipulation measures.
The researches have proved that in some cases it is still strange to the Georgian business reality to take measures to evaluate risks and ways of their solution, which in some cases raises problems that lead to crucial results. Bankruptcy of foreign enterprises is not strange for the Georgian market, because in most cases they are unprepared to take risks and fail to take measures to solve them. Possible risks should be identified at an early stage of business formation to avoid unintended consequences.
Modern tendencies show that it is desirable for companies to have a risk management service whose function will be to identify the expected risks, evaluate and offer anti-risk measures to managers. It is such companies that will show fewer losses from crisis.

Published: April 2021

INTRODUCTION: World Health Organization (WHO) declared Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) as a ‘Public Health Emergency of the International Concern’ (PHEIC). At present, there is no confirmatory treatment for COVID-19 by Preventive and Curative aspects with no side effects. AIM AND OBJECTIVES: To have a critical review of Ayurveda and Yoga in the prevention of COVID-19 pandemic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The newly emerged diseases can be studied with help of the basic principles of Ayurveda. Such diseases can be termed as ‘Anukta Vyadhi’. COVID-19 is such Anukta Vyadhi can be categorized under the ‘Janapadodhwamsa’. Hence, the Ayurvedic, as well as Yogic principles, can be implemented to manage the spread of COVID-19. The relevant Ayurvedic and Yogic texts are critically reviewed to study the principles mentioned in these ancient texts.

Dalam proses adaptasi yang dilakukan mahasiswa Papua, terdapat beberapa kendala mulai dari bahasa yang berbeda hingga stereotype yang mereka dapat. Krisis identitas yang dialami oleh mahasiswa Papua menghambat proses adaptasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan atas dasar ingin mengetahui strategi adaptasi apa yang dilakukan mahasiswa Papua ketika berkuliah di Universitas Sebelas Maret. Dalam penelitian ini peneliti melakukan analisis strategi adaptasi mahasiswa Papua dengan menggunakan konsep etika subsistensi yang dikemukakan oleh James C. Scott. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analitis karena menggambarkan keadaan suatu peristiwa tertentu berdasarkan fakta-fakta yang tampak sebagaimana mestinya. Peneliti menggunakan dua jenis data, yaitu data primer dan sekunder untuk menjawab rumusan masalah. Teknik penentuan informan yang digunakan yaitu teknik purposive sampling dengan informan mahasiswa asal Papua yang berkuliah di Universitas Sebelas Maret. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik pengambilan data dengan wawancara. Data yang diperoleh yakni transkip wawancara, kemudian dianalisis dan diuji validitas data menggunakan triangulasi sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, mahasiswa Papua memiliki beberapa siasat dalam mengatasi kondisi minimal yang mereka alami. Siasat yang pertama adalah siasat menahan diri, yang kedua, siasat alternatif subsistensi, dan yang terakhir adalah siasat membangun relasi dimana mahasiswa Papua mencoba membangun relasi dengan mahasiswa lain yang bukan berasal dari Papua. Ketiga siasat ini serupa dengan siasat yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat petani dalam analisis James C. Scott.

Tahfidz Al-Quran really needs to be taught at all levels of education, especially on early age as in the level of elementary school. Apart from the fact that the Al-Quran is a guidelife for all mankind, it is also because by memorizing the Al-Quran, students' intelligence and academic achievement can be improved. This study aims to find out how the implementation of the interactive application tahfidz juz amma in improving the student’s memorization quality of SDI Mohammad Hatta Malang. The method used in this study is a quantitative method with a total of 12 research subjects who are learning groups in Al-Quran learning which consists of V grade and VI grade students of SDI Mohammad Hatta Malang. The instruments of data collection used were learning test result, questionnaires, interviews and observation. Based on the results of the study, it is known the value of the t count = 3.450 and the value of t table = 2.201, this shows that 3,450 > 2,201. From this result it can be seen that the value of t count is greater than the value of t table, so it can be concluded in general that the interactive application of tahfidz juz amma is effective to help improving the quality of students memorization in tahfidz Al-Quran juz amma. While the attractiveness level of the application is at a very attractive level with an attractiveness level of 80%.
PEMBELAJARAN DI MADRASAH IBTIDAIYAH DAPAT MENJADI SALAH SATU BASIS PEMBENTUKAN MANUSIA BERKARAKTER

Recently, our society is covered with the feeling of anxious and restless without the tip of the base. It is related to the next generation (their children) especially about the thing related to their characters. The developments of science and technology that run so fast and tend to be uncontrollable have accelerated the development of children’s cognitive aspect, too. It made the affective aspect has been far left behind.

The fact that nowadays many mothers who are working outside the house minimizes the opportunity to communicate with their children. That makes their children lack of affection, lack of guidance, and the warmth of their existence. This kind of condition encourages the children to seek their inner fulfillment by using provided social media without any guidance from their parents.

In essence, parents are the first and the primary educators for their own children. It is said that parents are the first educator for their children because the children come from families. From the beginning, parents should be responsible for fostering children’s character. If parents are rarely at home, it will never happen. The children will grow without the supervision and guidance from their parents. Furthermore, it is said that parents as the primary educators. It means that parents are the main painter of children’s character. Those two things I have mentioned above are the main characteristics of education in a family.
Large Post-Surgical Incisional Hernias: Case Reports and a Review of Barriers Against Early Presentation and Refusal to Consent to Surgery
Authors: Ogbetere Friday Emeakpor
Published: April 2021

Incisional hernias, otherwise known as postoperative ventral hernias, are post-surgical fascial defects in the abdominal wall through which fat and viscera protrude. They are preventable causes of morbidity and mortality commonly encountered in our environment. Only a few patients with incisional hernia seek medical advice and only a handful of them consent to a surgical repair, even in the presence of complications, due to the high cost of treatment and disappointment from previous surgery. In this case series, two patients with complicated large long-standing post-surgical incisional hernias, who declined surgical repairs are presented, and the barriers to early presentation and factors responsible for refusal to consent to surgery in sub-Saharan Africa reviewed.
Variations of GSM Path Loss Exponent with Propagation Distance at L-Band Frequencies in Different Microcellular Environment of Southwestern Nigeria

Published: April 2021

Propagation path loss exponent is an important component of system design, and knowing the values helps to avoid surprises when the actual service begins. The path loss exponent is known to be critical in establishing the coverage of any new cellular network. Estimating the path loss exponent of any environment requires raising new data sets, which can be accomplished by conducting experiments. With this objective, the present study reports the L-band signal RSS level measurements of 6 GSM base stations in the urban, suburban and rural environments of Ondo and Ekiti States in the Southwestern region of Nigeria. Using a Sony Ericsson TEMS phone monitoring device—connected to a laptop equipped with TEMS software and base station cell reference—and a GPS device, RSS measurements were performed in each sector of the base station up to 1200 m, employing a single sector verification method. The values of path loss exponents were computed from the deduced values of path loss at 50 m intervals up to distances of 1200 m. Close to the base station, the following exponent values were observed—between 2.0 and 3.8 in the urban environment, 2.0 to 2.8 in the suburban environment while for the rural environment, 1.5 to 2.6 we're observed. After the breakpoint distance, higher path loss exponent values of up to 6 was recorded in the urban environment, exponent value of up to 4.3 was observed in the suburban environment and up to 3.5 exponent value in the rural environment. It was also observed that the rural environment presented the longest breakpoint distance of 500 m. The high path loss exponents observed, especially in the urban environment, could cause GSM operators to rethink the margins they have provided. This study is useful for the design of upcoming network systems in these regions and in similar regions.
