Este artigo investiga as dinâmicas de resistência territorial do Quilombo Cafundá Astrogilda, na Zona Oeste do Rio de Janeiro, destacando a luta da comunidade contra as pressões da expansão urbana, a especulação imobiliária e as políticas ambientais que afetam suas práticas culturais e agrícolas. Fundamentado nas teorias de Rogério Haesbaert e Marcelo Lopes de Souza, que concebem o território como uma construção social moldada por relações de poder, o estudo explora as práticas de afirmação cultural e territorial desenvolvidas pela comunidade quilombola, compreendendo-as como formas insurgentes de resistência e reafirmação identitária. A análise também incorpora o Quilombismo, de Abdias Nascimento, e a crítica à colonialidade do poder, de Aníbal Quijano, ressaltando a centralidade da identidade quilombola e da valorização dos saberes ancestrais como formas de enfrentamento. A metodologia combina visitas técnicas, observação participante e mapeamento social para compreender as práticas comunitárias e reconfiguração do espaço vivido. O Quilombo Cafundá Astrogilda emerge como um símbolo de luta e preservação cultural, reafirmando identidades coletivas e fortalecendo a autonomia de seus moradores diante das adversidades impostas pelo contexto urbano e socioeconômico.
Analyzing the Effect of the Near-Surface Inhomogeneity on Three-Dimensional Resistivity Models
Authors: Al-Zubedi Ahmed , Al-Hameedawie Mohammed
Published: February 2025

The impact of Near-Surface Inhomogeneity (NSI) on three-dimenssional (3D) resistivity data has been investigated using four electrode arrays. These arrays are Dipole-Dipole, Pole-Dipole, Pole-Pole, and Wenner arrays. Two 3D numerical models were designed by an 11m x 11m survey grid with 1m electrode spacing, featuring a low-resistivity main target and two NSI features with high resistivity of 100Ωm and low resistivity of 10Ωm, respectively. The results indicate that all arrays can detect the NSI features with enhanced performance when the low-resistivity NSI feature is presented. The high-resistivity NSI feature creates a saw-tooth form, while the low-resistivity NSI feature generates anomalous features. The Dipole-Dipole array demonstrates superior performance in delineating both NSI features, accurately detecting its lower boundary, and approximating resistivity. Pole-Dipole shows good boundary detection but with a slightly lower resolution. Pole-Pole and Wenner arrays exhibit the lowest resolution. They are overestimating the lower boundary of both NSI features. All arrays display artifacts due to the NSI effect, except for Pole-Pole, whose too-thick depth slice prevents that. For the primary target detection, Pole-Dipole and Dipole-Dipole arrays perform best resolution, allowing to delineate it at approximately the exact depth and form with resistivity values very close to the actual resistivity of the primary target. In terms of misfit errors, Dipole-Dipole and Pole-Dipole arrays offer superior resolution and performance despite their relatively high misfit errors.

Authors: Khalaf Zeyad , Al-Rahim Ali
Published: February 2025

One of the geophysical techniques for processing seismic data for coherence noise removal and signal enhancement is the Wiener deconvolution method, which was applied to seismic data for a two-dimensional seismic survey project in the western Iraqi desert. In this project, the seismic data is largely composed of multiple wavelets and is considered to have a weak signal. Wiener deconvolution affects time-varying and spatially-varying spike or gapped deconvolution. The method was used in numerous experiments involving spiking deconvolution on seismic data. It was discovered that 200 milliseconds is the ideal operator length, considering that the prediction lag is 2 milliseconds, the equivalent of the sample rate. The results were compared with the raw data using an amplitude spectrum graph and autocorrelogram. The results discovered that it effectively compresses the wavelet and strengthens the final signal. A second method, wiener gapped deconvolution, was applied through various examinations of the seismic data, the results showed that the best values for the operator length of 200 milliseconds and prediction lag were 20 milliseconds. The accuracy of the results is compared to the raw data using an amplitude spectrum graph and an autocorrelogram. The second method was discovered to be averagely efficient in removing multiples from the data. As a result, it is thought that Wiener's method is more effective for spike deconvolution in compressing the waves and strengthening the signal than gapped deconvolution.

A burnability study has been carried out to determine the effect of homogeneity and particle size on clinker reactions to ensure constant product quality and consistent and uninterrupted operation of the kiln. After verifying the raw materials suitability for the Portland cement chemically manufacture, the raw mix design criteria were the lime saturation factor LSF = 98%, silica ratio SR = 2.4, alumina ratio AR= 1.8, hydraulic module HM = 1.98, degree of sulfurization DOS = 0.61, liquid phase L.PH at (1338°C = 26.3, 1400°C = 30.7, 1450°C = 31.2), and free lime (FL)= 1.2, the raw mixture was designed according to a method of lime saturation factor and the mixing ratios were as follows: 67.63% limestone and 32.37% clay. The raw materials were processed and prepared to obtain three samples with a particle size of less than 75µ using a ceramic ball mill with a mixture of high homogenization, one sample of which is approximately 89% passing from a sieve 90µ using the handed homogenization method, for each sample weigh 100 gm of the raw material mixture. In this study, burnability for the raw meal was done at 1350, 1400, and 1450ºC with time retention on maximum temperature from 90 to 120min using a laboratory muffle furnace. Four burning tests were conducted; the first test T1 used the residual raw mixture on a 90µ sieve of 11% at a temperature of 1450°C and the three tests; T2, T3, and T4 used the residual mix on a 45µ sieve of 35%, with a change in the final temperature; 1450, 1350, and 1400 ºC respectively. Traces of unreacted free lime (FL) are detected, as an indicator of burnability; T1 = 1.91, T2 = 2.48, T3 = 1.5, and T4 = 1.27. The study has shown that homogeneity and particle size of the raw mix play a crucial role in energy usage, kiln performance, clinker production, and the quality of cement.

Evaluating the reservoir properties of a formation or geological unit is an important element and an effective tool in leading a successful exploration program. The Early Miocene Jeribe-Euphrates Formation in H. oil field, Missan Governorate was selected as a study site, as it could account for a significant portion of the field's productivity. Four wells were selected, they are distributed over the field and represent two structural domes extending from the northwest to the southeast. The corrected and processed log data in an Excel sheet were used in the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the studied oil field, where data was processed using the Techlog 2015 software, which enabled us to represent the information quantitatively by computer processing interpretation. The cross-plot sections showed that the formation consists mainly of argillaceous carbonate rocks (dolomite) and sometimes of limestone with a small percentage of shale. The quantitative interpretation of the studied wells showed the possibility of dividing the Jeribe-Euphrates Formation into two reservoir units: the upper reservoir unit (JE-1), and the lower reservoir unit (JE-2). The upper unit was characterized by greater thickness and a higher percentage of shale volume, with average 17-35 %, while the effective porosity recorded moderate percentages ranging between 12–17 %. For the hydrocarbon saturation, it was represented by good percentages ranging between (61-72 %). Whereas, the lower unit (JE-2), it does not have a high rank of reservoir specifications despite the relatively low shale volume 4-19 %, and good effective porosity percentages 14-21 %, the high water saturation of this unit made it lose its reservoir quality.
Recreaciones del Inca Garcilaso en la narrativa peruana: la guerra de las Alpujarras a través de la perspectiva identitaria
Authors: Rodríguez Mansilla Fernando
Published: February 2025

Las recreaciones narrativas sobre la vida del Inca Garcilaso están llenas de elementos anacrónicos, en cuanto interpretaciones actuales del pasado, que se ocupan del papel del personaje en el imaginario cultural del país. En este trabajo analizo la forma en que los narradores peruanos contemporáneos han recreado la participación de Garcilaso en la campaña militar de las Alpujarras. La recreación de este episodio bélico en la vida de Garcilaso y su impacto en él desarrollan una simpatía hacia los moriscos puesta al servicio de la causa identitaria en torno a la construcción literaria del cuzqueño como personaje.

Numerical calculations of the parameters of the glow discharge plasma were carried out on the basis of a global volume-averaged model. The calculations were carried out for argon, and iron, the main component of stainless steel, was assumed as the cathode material. The electron temperature and density, the density of sputtered iron atoms
and iron ions, and the density of metastable argon atoms were calculated as a function of pressure and adsorbed power in the discharge. The results of the calculations of the electron temperature and density were compared with the results of previous experiments and are in satisfactory agreement.

A study of the pulsed negative corona in oxygen at the combined power supply in the electrode system with a moving cathode, its electrodynamic characteristics, and the amount of synthesized ozone, depending on the cathode movement speed, was carried out. It is shown that when the threshold cathode motion speed of 6.98 m/s is exceeded, an increase in the maximum possible amplitude of the high-voltage pulse, the negative corona pulse current, and the amount of synthesized ozone is observed. At a cathode velocity of 22.77 m/s, the amplitude of the high-voltage
pulse increases by 1.15 kV relative to the stationary cathode, the pulse current and the amount of synthesized ozone doubled.
