Authors: Sa’aadah Aanisah Roudhotus , Hodiyah Ida , Sunarya Yaya , Wulandari Dyah Retno
Published: May 2024

Bawang merah (Allium ascalonicum L.) termasuk sayuran rempah yang sulit menghasilkan biji, sehingga umbi sering digunakan sebagai bahan tanam untuk perbanyakan. Namun seiring berjalannya waktu metode tersebut dapat menyebabkan penyakit degeneratif. Perbanyakan melalui teknik kultur jaringan dapat menunjang penyediaan bibit bawang merah yang berkualitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan ZPT 2iP dan NAA terhadap pertumbuhan kalus embriogenik bawang merah  kultivar Sumenep dalam kultur in vitro pada media MS dan B5. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) yaitu kombinasi konsentrasi 2iP dan NAA yang ditambahkan pada media MS dan B5 dan diulang sebanyak tiga kali. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi konsentrasi 2iP dan NAA yang ditambahkan pada media MS dan B5 memberikan pengaruh terhadap diameter clumps, namun tidak pengaruh terhadap jumlah tunas dan jumlah akar. Penambahan 2iP 1 mg/L pada media MS menghasilkan diameter clumps yang terbaik dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainnya. Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) are spices that are difficult to produce seeds, so tubers are often used as planting material for propagation. However, over time these methods can cause degenerative diseases. Propagation through tissue culture techniques can support the provision of quality shallot seedling. This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of plant growth regulators 2iP and NAA on the growth of shallot embryogenic callus  Sumenep cultivar in in vitro culture on MS and B5 media. The study used a one-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD), namely the combination of 2iP and NAA concentrations on MS and B5 media in twelve treatments which were repeated three times. The results showed that the combination of 2iP and NAA concentration added to MS and B5 media gave effect on the clumps diameter, did not give effect on the number of shoots and roots. The addition of 1 mg/L 2iP in MS and B5 media resulted in the  best clumps diameter compared to other treatments.

Pada umumnya pertambangan emas skala kecil ditengarai menimbulkan kerusakan ekosistem tanah dan tumbuhan, maka pendalaman mengenai kondisi dan karakteristik tumbuhan dan tanah pada lahan tersebut perlu dilakukan. Metode petak ganda digunakan pada tiga sampel petak pada tailing, overburden, area aliran limbah emas, dan area yang tidak terpengaruh oleh limbah, yaitu petak ukuran 1×1 m2 untuk vegetasi dasar, 5×5 m2 untuk vegetasi pancang dan 10×10 m2 untuk vegetasi pohon. Kesimpulan penelitian adalah bahwa pada tailing ditemukan 2 spesies tumbuhan dasar dengan INP tertinggi Paspalum conjugatum, 6 spesies pancang dengan INP tertinggi Coloacasia esculentum dan 8 pohon dengan INP tertinggi Albizia chinensis. Pada overburden terdapat 10 spesies tumbuhan dasar dengan INP tertinggi Paspalum conjugatum, 4 spesies pancang dengan INP tertinggi Metroxylon sagu dan 7 pohon dengan INP tertinggi Albizia chinensis. Pada area aliran limbah emas terdapat 3 spesies tumbuhan dasar dengan INP tertinggi Axonopus compressus, 5 spesies pancang dengan INP tertinggi Salaca zalacca dan 8 spesies pohon dengan INP tertinggi Swietenia mahagoni. Pada area yang tidak terpengaruh oleh limbah emas terdapat 16 spesies tumbuhan dasar dengan INP tertinggi Selaginella moellendorffii, 7 spesies pancang dengan INP tertinggi Amomum compactum dan 10 pohon dengan INP tertinggi Albizia chinensis. Small scale gold mining was accused to damage soil and vegetation. Therefore, deep looking into vegetation and soil characteristics in the area is needed. A double plot method of three plot samples was taken on tailing, overburden, land contaminated with gold water waste, and non-contaminated land (forest). There are 3 sample plots in which plot there are 16 sample plots for each vegetation level i.e. 1×1 m2 plot basic vegetation, 5×5 m2 plot sapling, and 10×10 m2 plot trees. In conclusion that on tailing there were 2 species basic vegetation with the highest IVI was Paspalum conjugatum, 6 sapling species with the highest IVI was Coloacasia esculentum, and 8 trees with highest IVI was Albizia chinensis. On overburden there were 10 basic vegetation species with the highest IVI was Paspalum conjugatum, 4 saplin species with the highest IVI was Metroxylon sagu and 7 trees with the highest IVI was Albizia chinensis. On the land contaminated with gold water waste there were 3 basic vegetation species with the highest IVI was Axonopus compressus, 5 sapling species with the highest IVI was Salaca zalacca, and 8 trees species with the highest IVI was Swietenia mahagoni. On non contaminated land (forest), there were 16 vegetation base species with the highest IVI was Selaginella moellendorffii, 7 species of stick with the highest IVI was Amomum compactum, and 10 wood trees with the highest INP was Albizia chinensis.

Constructing Graphs with No Independent Transversals
Authors: Haxell Penny , Wdowinski Ronen
Published: May 2024

Given a graph $G$ and a partition $P$ of its vertex set, an independent transversal (IT) is an independent set of $G$ that contains one vertex from each block in $P$. Various sufficient conditions for the existence of an IT have been established, and a common theme for many of them is that the block sizes are sufficiently large compared to the maximum degree of $G$. Consequently, there has been interest in constructing graphs with no IT which demonstrate that these bounds on the block sizes are best possible. We describe a simple systematic method for constructing vertex-partitioned graphs with large block sizes and no IT. Unifying previous constructions, we use our method to derive classical extremal constructions due to Jin (1992), Yuster (1997), and Szabó and Tardos (2006) in streamlined fashion. For our new results, we describe extremal constructions of minimal graphs with maximum degree two and no IT, generalizing a result of Aharoni, Holzman, Howard, and Sprüssel (2015). We construct a family of locally sparse graphs with no IT, complementing an asymptotic result of Loh and Sudakov (2007). We describe new and smaller counterexamples to a list coloring conjecture of Reed (1999), which was originally disproved by Bohman and Holzman (2002). We disprove a conjecture of Aharoni, Alon, and Berger (2016) about IT's in graphs without large induced stars. We answer negatively a question of Aharoni, Holzman, Howard, and Sprüssel (2015) about extremal graphs with no IT, but we also prove that a useful variation of their question does hold.
On Semi-Restricted Rock, Paper, Scissors
Authors: Janson Svante
Published: May 2024

Spiro, Surya and Zeng (Electron.  J. Combin., 2023) recently studied a semi-restricted variant of the well-known game Rock, Paper, Scissors; in this variant the game is played for $3n$ rounds, but one of the two players is restricted and has to use each of the three moves exactly $n$ times. They find the optimal strategy, and they show that it results in an expected score for the unrestricted player $\Theta(\sqrt{n})$; they conjecture, based on numerical evidence, that the expectation is $\approx 1.46\sqrt{n}$.
We analyse the result of the strategy further and show that the average is $\sim c \sqrt{n}$ with $c=3\sqrt{3}/2\sqrt{\pi}=1.466$, verifying the conjecture. We also find the asymptotic distribution of the score, and compute its variance.

This research aims to find out and analyze legal assistance for women and children by a team of advocates at the Pati Religious Court. The rights of women and children are one of the obligations of an ex-husband after divorce, namely providing iddah support, muta'ah and madhiyyah support as well as costs. Education for children from underage to adulthood is the responsibility of a wife. So that in the divorce divorce case carried out by the husband at the Pati religious court, the team of advocates received attention. The research method used in this writing is empirical juridical, with the specifications of this research using qualitative descriptive research, legal assistance for women and children by the profit advocate team is felt by the profit advocate team to be less than optimal, especially considering the situation of the client, who is the Defendant and The client is just a housewife. In this case, advocates as legal representatives provide legal assistance to women and children after divorce free of charge in order to obtain equal justice or equality before the law. This aims to uphold the principles of civil procedural law within the scope of the Pati religious court, and the team profit advocate in Pati district. However, in reality, this matter is not paid enough attention by law enforcers who are profit advocates in Pati district. And it is hoped that this is a form of service effort by the profit advocate team in accordance with the advocate's oath in accordance with article 4 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 18 of 2003 concerning Advocates in conjunction with the letter from the chairman of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia Number: 73KMA/HK.01/IX/2015 September 25 2015 regarding the oath of lawyers.
Superhero Fiction and Vigilante Reality: Self-Referentiality and Quixotism in Millar and Romita Jr.’s Kick-Ass
Authors: Bausela Buccianti Lucía
Published: May 2024

In Millar and Romita Jr.’s Kick-Ass comics series, Dave is an ordinary kid in New who loves reading comics and discussing them with his friends. At home, his situation is not ideal: his mother has died due to a brain haemorrhage and his relationship with his father, James Lizewski, is strained due to unresolved mourning and poor communication. The situation in his immediate social context is, moreover, rather dire: Dave is a witness of daily injustice and crime, which often leads him to wonder why there are no costumed vigilantes in the real world. When Dave creates a double-identity as a masked vigilante and eventually ventures to the streets at night to  fight crime, he relies on comic books such as Spider-Man as if they were instruction manuals on how to be a superhero, but reality immediately strikes back with brutal consequences. In a way, Kick-Ass is an ode to a comics genre, acknowledging is most salient plot features, its wacky characters and worlds, and its history as a medium. However, this complex web of self-referential elements also configures an interesting argument of why superhero stories are, precisely, stories, and why this kind of fictional narrative is incompatible with the real world. Therefore, the aim of this article is twofold: first, the discussion focuses on analysing how Kick-Ass identifies, highlights and emulates elements from the superhero and vigilante archetypes, to then focus on theories of self-referentiality which allow for a study of the critical commentary that the work makes of its own medium and genre. Finally, the discussion will turn towards the ideological dimension of the work, focusing on the extent of Kick-Ass’s cynical take on real-life superheroes, its terms, warnings, and optimism.
Always Rooting For The Antihero: A Dive Into The Evolution Of Taylor Swift's Poetic Persona
Authors: Hernández Rodríguez María
Published: May 2024

The aim of this paper is to analyze how Taylor Swift's public persona has evolved over the last years, from her beginnings in the music industry to her latest works. To do so, we have studied some of the lyrics of her songs with the objective of understanding the three phases Swift has gone through in the creation of her personal brand: damsel in distress, hero and anti-hero. We have examined how, in her first albums, Swift protrayed herself as a naïve, young, woman always hoping to be rescued by her prince. Later, we have delved into how she depicts herself as a hero, so we have analized the coincidences between Campbell's hero's journey and some of the tracks in the album "1989". Finally, we have focused on how, since 2017, Taylor Swifts embodies the anti-hero, reviewing the shared traits between Swift's public persona and these characters of questionable morality. To this end, we have used some theoretical tools such as textual analysis or Greimas' actantial scheme and we have considered some of the most relevant studies on damsels in distress, the hero and the anti-hero.
Time-Travel and Teleology: Morality, Society, and the Life of Lucas Bishop
Authors: Martin Justin
Published: May 2024

The paper focuses on a rarely analyzed superhero within the X-Men universe: the time-traveling mutant and law enforcement officer Lucas Bishop. Through highlighting core narrative themes consistent throughout his various depictions in comics and animation through the lens of a constructivist approach to sociomoral development (Social Cognitive Domain Theory; SCDT), the author contends that the character’s complexity and multifaceted nature potentially has implications for understanding superheroes like Bishop as subjects worthy of scholarly and pedagogical inquiry. The narrative themes examined in support of this argument pertain to (1) how different dystopian social orders or arrangements potentially inform his morally relevant decisions, (2) the distinction between the arbitrary and non-arbitrary treatment of mutants in interactions bearing on human rights, and (3) the potential parallels between Bishop’s morally relevant decisions and related research on sociomoral development.
DACH-PRINCIPLE IN THEORY AND IN PRACTICE AND THE PLACE OF THE AUSTRIAN VARIETY OF THE GERMAN LANGUAGE IN BULGARIAN SCHOOLBOOKS
Authors: ALEKSANDROV Oleg
Published: May 2024

This paper focuses on the pluricentricity of the German language and the pluricentric approach in the German course books used in Bulgaria. In the first part, basic terms like pluricentricity and DACH principle are defined. The DACH principle views the cultural diversity as normal and uses the diversity of the German language in the different countries as an opportunity for multidimensionality in teaching German as a foreign language. The second part is dedicated to the most important lexical, phonetic, morphological and syntactic specifics of the Austrian variety of the German language which, in my opinion, should be presented in the course books used in Bulgarian secondary schools. The third part contains the results of my study whose aim is to examine the pluricentric approach focusing on the presence of the Austrian German language in selected schoolbooks, approved by the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science. The results show that the pluricentric approach is barely implemented on a cultural level and the specifics of Austrian German language are totally neglected. Austria is mainly portrayed as one single tourist attraction – in this context, almost every information is limited to the capital Vienna. As opposed to Germany, the limited representation of Austria and its variety of the German language, culture and society is only a superficial “glimpse” in the Bulgarian schoolbooks, which has a significant impact on the students’ general perception of the German speaking countries.

Published: May 2024

Studies to reveal the factors contributing to the effectiveness of language instruction are still underway. This study disclosed the phenomenon in EFL classes focusing on the interaction strategies in skill and content courses, which use English as the target language. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. Having been collected by observation, recording, and interview, the data were transcribed, identified, and classified, then analyzed by description, quantification, and comparison. The findings were that, despite both employing a learner-centered approach; the interaction strategies are divergent due to different instructional goals. First, in the skill courses, the students' talking time is greater than the teachers' talking time, and the opposite fact exists in the content courses. Second, the interaction patterns in the skill courses indicate more student-active learning than in the content courses. Third, directive acts were performed more in the skill classes, and assertive acts in the content classes. Fourth, the native language was used more in the content than skill classes. The implication is that the interaction strategies should be varied following the pedagogical purposes to optimize the effectiveness of language teaching in an EFL context.

Published: May 2024

This research examines safety literacy in the particular setting of the Ibadan North Local Government Area in Nigeria. It does so by providing a thorough analysis of current levels, contextual and cultural influences, the relationship to societal well-being, and the identification of obstacles to improvement. Utilizing a descriptive survey design approach and a stratified random sampling, the study measures safety literacy by means of quantitative evaluations of understanding and awareness. It examines how context and culture affect people's understanding of safety, highlighting the importance of culturally appropriate safety instruction. The study reveals a high level of safety literacy, cultural and contextual factors emerge as crucial determinants, shaping safety practices based on local beliefs, practices, and norms. The observed correlation between safety literacy and societal well-being underscores the profound influence of informed safety practices on community health, economic stability, social cohesion, and collective responsibility. Nonetheless, the study points out several obstacles that stand in the way of enhancing safety literacy, such as restricted information availability, difficulties with language, and cultural resistance. These obstacles highlight the need for focused interventions to address particular issues impeding the community's efforts to improve safety literacy.
Repensar la Educación. Alternativas Educativas para una Educación Contextualizada
Authors: Lerma Arangure Iván Yesid
Published: May 2024

Este artículo es una forma para invitar a repensar la educación, visualizar alternativas contextualizadas y vivir en el día a día el gozo del aprender. Los paradigmas emergentes como la biopedagogía y las ciencias de la complejidad comprenden al aprendiente como un atractor extraño que convoca a diversidad de actores sociales del sistema educativo para la transformación de la sociedad. En el transcurso de la historia la humanidad ha sido testigo y protagonista de diferente crisis, la compleja situación política, socioeconómica, cultural y ambienta, entre otras, se presentan como una valiosa oportunidad para que la educación a través de intrusiones cuánticas, posibilite la emergencia de un ser humano con capacidades y recursos para con-vivir en armonía consigo mismo, con el otro y con la biosfera. La educación como derecho fundamental debe ser de calidad, y no ser concebida como un servicio o favor del Estado, y menos ser un privilegio para pocos, por el contrario debe ser incluyente y abrazar la diversidad. Si bien las universidades han sido uno de los espacios educativos en los cuales se han gestado importantes transformaciones sociales, la educación debe ser comprendía como proceso inacabado a lo largo del ciclo evolutivo del ser humano. La Familia es por excelencia el entorno de los primeros aprendizajes, es quizás uno de los escenario más importantes donde se sientan las bases para le educación. La familia aporta su más preciado tesoro al contexto de la educación inicial temprana para que esta solemnice oficialmente su rol educativo, continúe dicho proceso y prepare integralmente al (la) aprendiente para el tránsito armonioso a la escuela y así sucesivamente. Y en todo este proceso la calidad no ha de ser cuantificada, pues no hay intermedios, es un sofisma para pretender cobros que tan sólo algunos pueden costear. Sí es posible garantizar una educación de calidad, lo que falta es verdadero compromiso del Estado.
Sostenibilidad Socioecológica de las Chinampas de Xochimilco: Integración de Factores Humanos y Naturales Hacia el Equilibrio Ambiental
Authors: Pablo Hernández Juan
Published: May 2024

Las chinampas de Xochimilco enfrentan la amenaza de la salinización del suelo, un desafío que refleja la compleja relación entre los aspectos socioecológicos. Estas tierras, emblemáticas por su historia y cultura, representan un sistema interdependiente donde prácticas agrícolas tradicionales interactúan con el entorno natural. La salinización, síntoma de desequilibrios, afecta la productividad agrícola y la vida de las comunidades locales. La solución radica en un enfoque holístico que incluye el uso de prácticas biotecnológicas para la recuperación de los suelos, la gestión del agua, la restauración de la vegetación y el turismo responsable. La participación de las comunidades y la conservación cultural son esenciales. Las chinampas nos recuerdan que la coexistencia armoniosa entre humanos y naturaleza es clave para la sostenibilidad.

Fabrication and Characterization of Nanocoils CNT/PLA Filament at Different Filler’s Percentages as Electromagnetic Wave Absorbers
Authors: Farah Hamizah Puad@Paat  , Nawrah Afnan Ashraf  , Fadzidah Mohd Idris
Published: May 2024

The rapid development of electronic technology and communication networks has resulted in high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI) pollution, indirectly making electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers of great interest among researchers. The characteristics of an ideal EMW absorber should be lightweight, thin, strong and capable of absorbing the EMW in a broad frequency range. Recently, carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have gained good popularity for their unique properties including lightweight, high mechanical strength, good electrical and thermal conductivity and wide frequency bandwidth. However, carbon nanotubes are very conductive and tend to agglomerate due to the van der Waals forces. Therefore, the incorporation of CNTs into polymer helps to improve the EMW absorption mechanism. This research focuses on fabricating electromagnetic wave absorbers with nanocomposite based on CNT/PLA filament for additive manufacturing (3D printing). Polylactic acid (PLA) with different weight percentages of CNT fillers (1, 3, 5 wt%) was extruded to fabricate a composite filament of a diameter of 1.75 mm. The results show that different percentages of CNTs fillers have a significant effect on the morphological and crystallographic phase structure, Raman scattering and EMW absorption properties.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly
impacted various aspects of our society, and criminal
activity is no exception. This study investigates how crime
dynamics shifted in Bataan Province, Philippines, during
the pandemic. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative
approach, the researchers analyzed data from the Bataan
Provincial Police Office for a three-year period. While the
total number of recorded crimes rose in 2021, it declined
in 2022. However, significant fluctuations and persistent
high rates were observed across specific crime categories.
Temporal analysis of "Crime Clock" statistics revealed
changes in reported crimes throughout different time
periods, indicating potential shifts in criminal behavior. A
comparison of Municipal Police Stations (MPS) data
revealed varying trends, suggesting the potential
effectiveness of existing strategies in some areas. Notably,
some MPSs showcased a decline in crime. Overall, this
research highlights the dynamic nature of criminal
activity during the pandemic. The study demonstrates the
importance of ongoing crime surveillance and
collaborative efforts between law enforcement and the
community to ensure public safety in Bataan Province.
Cross Border Security Challenges for Bangladesh
Authors: Husain Taha
Published: May 2024

This study aims to explore the challenges of cross-border security in Bangladesh. Employing a qualitative methodology, the study gathers insights from diverse stakeholders, including security forces, analysts, human rights activists, NGO workers, and journalists. Based on thematic analysis, the findings revealed a significant disconnect between the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and local communities, exacerbated by bureaucratic challenges and poor coordination among governmental bodies. The vulnerability of hilly border regions to illicit activities, such as insurgency and smuggling, is heightened by inadequate placement and density of Border Outposts (BOPs). Historical and cultural ties influence border dynamics, complicating security efforts. The BGB faces infrastructure and resource challenges, further hampering effective border management. Extreme poverty and lack of education in border communities drive individuals towards smuggling and make them susceptible to human trafficking. Cross-border criminal activities, including drug and arms trafficking, pose significant threats. Additionally, the influx of Rohingya refugees has led to the control of refugee camps by armed groups, creating further security concerns. This research's originality lies in its thematic analysis application to systematically explore and address the multifaceted cross-border security challenges in Bangladesh.
3 mL Versus 5 mL of 0.75% Ropivacaine for Ultrasound-Guided Interscalene Block: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Daher Mohammad , Aouad Dany , El Rassi George , Kafrouni Hazem
Published: May 2024

Background: Ropivacaine is a local anesthetic used in nerve blocks for post-operative analgesia with dose-dependent side effects. Research indicated that ropivacaine may have better safety profiles than most local anesthetics, but toxicity and other dose-dependent side effects can still occur. Our aim is to show that a lower dose of ropivacaine is as effective when it comes to anesthesia and has a lower rate of complications.
Methods: This study aims to compare 3 mL and 5 mL of 0.75% ropivacaine used for ultrasound-guided interscalene nerve block in shoulder arthroscopy in terms of postoperative analgesia and complications. We compared two groups (group 3 and group 5). Each group consisted of 30 patients. One group received 3 mL of 0.75% ropivacaine while the other group received 5 mL of the same product. The pain scale was evaluated in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) every 30 minutes up to two hours, then via phone call questionnaire for patients discharged during the first 24 hours. The incidence of complications was also evaluated in both groups.
Results: Both groups had the same analgesic effect. No difference in the incidence of postoperative complications was noted however, more hemidiaphragmatic paralysis was observed in group 5 (p=0.023).
Conclusion: Both 3 mL and 5 mL of 0.75% ropivacaine had the same post-operative analgesic effect with a lower incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis seen in group 3, Further investigation on respiratory function must be undertaken.
Asteroid Orbit Determination Using Gaia FPR: Statistical Analysis
Authors: Fuentes-Muñoz Oscar , Farnocchia Davide , Naidu Shantanu P. , Park Ryan S.
Published: May 2024

The Gaia mission has provided astrometric observations of unprecedented accuracy for more than 156,000 asteroids. The reported astrometric uncertainties are of the order of milliarcseconds, about 2 orders of magnitude smaller than that of traditional ground-based observations. The accuracy of Gaia data requires a high-fidelity orbit determination process, especially in the observation modeling. We present a statistical analysis of Gaia Focused Product Release to test the accuracy of the reported positions and associated uncertainties. We find that center-of-light offsets due to phase variations need to be modeled to properly fit the observational data. Prediction tests show that the uncertainty in the fitted orbits can be optimistic unless the observational uncertainty is inflated to account for errors in finding the center-of-mass of the body. Moreover, errors in the masses of small-body perturbers can cause differences in the orbital solution that exceed formal uncertainties of the best constrained orbits. As an example, we provide an update of the impact hazard analysis of 1950 DA, one of the asteroids observed by Gaia, and find that the impact probability in the year 2880 increases to 3.8 × 10−4.
The Physical Origin of the Periodic Activity for FRB 20180916B

Published: May 2024

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are transient radio signals with millisecond-duration, large dispersion measure and extremely high brightness temperature. Among them, FRB 20180916B has been found to have a 16 days periodically modulated activity. However, the physical origin of the periodicity is still a mystery. Here, we utilize the comprehensive observational data to diagnose the periodic models. We find that the ultralong rotation model is the most probable one for the periodic activity. However, this model cannot reproduce the observed rotation measure (RM) variations. We propose a self-consistent model, i.e., a massive star binary containing a slowly rotational neutron star and a massive star with large mass loss, which can naturally accommodate the wealth of observational features for FRB 20180916B. In this model, the RM variation is periodic, which can be tested by future observations.
A Spectral Method to Compute the Tides of Laterally Heterogeneous Bodies
Authors: Rovira-Navarro Marc , Matsuyama Isamu , Berne Alexander
Published: May 2024

Body tides reveal information about planetary interiors and affect their evolution. Most models to compute body tides rely on the assumption of a spherically symmetric interior. However, several processes can lead to lateral variations of interior properties. We present a new spectral method to compute the tidal response of laterally heterogeneous bodies. Compared to previous spectral methods, our approach is not limited to small-amplitude lateral variations; compared to finite element codes, this approach is more computationally efficient. While the tidal response of a spherically symmetric body has the same wavelength as the tidal force; lateral heterogeneities produce an additional tidal response with a spectra that depends on the spatial pattern of such variations. For Mercury, the Moon, and Io, the amplitude of this signal is as high as 1%–10% of the main tidal response for long-wavelength shear modulus variations higher than ∼10% of the mean shear modulus. For Europa, Ganymede, and Enceladus, shell-thickness variations of 50% of the mean shell thickness can cause an additional signal of ∼1% and ∼10% for the Jovian moons and Encelaudus, respectively. Future missions, such as BepiColombo and JUICE, might measure these signals. Lateral variations of viscosity affect the distribution of tidal heating. This can drive the thermal evolution of tidally active bodies and affect the distribution of active regions.

The world’s first planetary defense test mission was carried out in late 2022 by NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission. The main DART spacecraft, which was accompanied by the ASI-provided LICIACube cubesat, intentionally impacted Dimorphos, the smaller secondary of the near-Earth object binary system (65803) Didymos, on 2022 September 26. The impact released a large amount of ejecta, which, combined with the spacecraft’s momentum, produced the observed 33 ± 1 minute period change that was subsequently observed from ground-based telescopes. The DART mission, in addition to having successfully changed the orbital period of Dimorphos, also activated the asteroid as a result of the impact but under known conditions, unlike other impacts on asteroids. We have conducted long-term monitoring over 5 months following the impact with the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope (LCOGT) network and Magdalena Ridge Observatory (MRO). This was supplemented by almost 3 months of more sparsely sampled data, primarily from educational users of the LCOGT network during the period from 2022 July 5 to 2022 September 25, prior to the impact date of 2022 September 26. Here we report the observations of the Didymos system and DART impact ejecta with the telescopes of the LCOGT network from T+1.93 days to T+151.3 days after impact, and we study the evolving morphology of the ejecta cloud and evolving tail over the entire length of the data set. In addition, we combined these intensive data sets with the earlier sparse observations over the ∼90 days prior to impact to derive a new disk-integrated phase function model using the H, G

Vox populi, vox regni : passions, solidarités et développement social en terrain multilingue
Authors: Tremblay Christian
Published: May 2024

Si les langues n’étaient que des outils de communication ou que des codes un peu sophistiqués, mais des codes quand même, une langue pourrait suffire et les problèmes de développement pourraient se résoudre sans elles. Le problème est justement que les langues ne sont pas des codes, car les codes ne peuvent s’analyser eux-mêmes et encore moins ne peuvent faire naître d’autres codes. C’est pourtant ce que font les langues qui sont indissociables de tout acte de pensée. Donc il faut remonter toute la chaîne et s’interroger sur ce qu’est le développement, exercice salutaire si l’on veut comprendre ce que signifie « développement durable » et sur les relations bidirectionnelles entre les langues et le développement. Ce travail est absolument nécessaire, car ce n’est pas du tout la direction prise aujourd’hui par le monde occidental, en dépit des efforts de l’UNESCO pour inscrire la diversité linguistique et culturelle dans le développement durable.
