Authors: Seledtsov Victor , Pyshenko Anatoly , Lyubavskaya Tatyana , Seledtsova Irina A , Delwig Alexei
Published: February 2025

We studied the effects of human blood coagulation on its antioxidant activity, as well as on the cellular secretion of immunoregulatory molecules in vitro. The coagulation process considerably decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in blood samples. Human serum was found to have significantly greater antioxidant activity than plasma. Blood coagulation markedly reduced LPS-induced secretion of (TNF-α) by cells, without significantly affecting the secretion of interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, IL-8 and C-reactive protein (CRP). Blood clotting led to an increase in the spontaneous release of IL-8 and both spontaneous and LPS-induced release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by blood cells. A significant increase in procalcitonin levels was also observed in serum samples from blood stimulated with LPS. Thus, blood clotting favors the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory functions of immunoreactive blood cells.
A Multi-Criteria Approach to Sustainable Building Material Selection: A Case Study in a Japanese Context
Authors: Takano Atsushi , Aiki Masashi
Published: February 2025

In the effort to reduce the environmental impact of buildings, the correct selection of building materials has great importance since a building is complex system consisting of many different materials. With this background, a multi-criteria decision-making approach has recently been paid attention. This study demonstrated the influence of building material selection on the environmental and economic parameters of a building in a Japanese context. The effects of the selection were investigated on the five structural frame options in a comparative manner using a reference building model. The aim was to illustrate the features of the building materials in a relative manner from several aspects in order to help multi-criteria decision-making for professionals associated with the construction industry. The results showed that the value of alternative materials varies depending on the aspects. It was also indicated that which building elements and components should be preceded to enhance the sustainability of a building, from a material perspective. There is no perfect material in every sense. Thus, it should be important to select suitable materials according to the purpose and their features on a case-by-case basis. In addition, in order to widen the range of selection, the market system that could connect economic aspects to the other aspects and enable several factors to equally be considered in the decision-making process needs to be developed as well.

In the course of the Carboniferous to Permian assembly of Pangaea, large parts of eastern Laurussia and northern Gondwana were affected by the Variscan Orogeny. Here, we particularly focus on the Appalachian belt of eastern Laurentia and the Mauritanide, Western Thrust (WTB) and Souttoufide belts of the western West African Craton. Owing to the irregular shapes of the craton margins, this collision resulted in several conjugate promontories and embayments on both cratons. Among others, the coupled pair formed by the African “Reguibat promontory” and its counterpart in North America, the “Pennsylvania embayment” is in focus of this study. The (relative) western movement of the Reguibat Shield had initially imprinted the West African belts but finally also affected the Appalachians. Forming such a classical “punch mark” produces two specific stacks of “nappes” (lobes) on both sides of the promontory. Related to the Reguibat promontory, the southern NW-SW stacking nappes (e.g. Akjoujt nappes) are known since a long time. However, those nappes of the “Adrar Souttouf Massif” to the north have not been recognised before because of its N-S alignment instead of a symmetrical SW-NE direction. Furthermore, the Adrar Souttouf Massif is partially covered by allochthons terranes (WTB or Appalachians). This discovery justifies the application of the classical imprinting model to the deformation of the North American and African belts by westward moving of the Reguibat Shield.

Authors: Khalilnasl Hossein , Ferrari Paolo , Flammini Alessandra , Sisinni Emiliano
Published: February 2025

This paper investigates the virtualization of LoRaWAN end nodes through Linux containers (LXC) to improve scalability, flexibility, and resource management. By leveraging lightweight Dockerbased virtualization, we break down the core functions of the LoRaWAN node, comprising the application, LoRaWAN, and LoRa layers, into modular containers. In this work a fully virtualized endnode is demonstrated. The obtainable performance are not only compared against the standard approach that leverages on LoRaWANcompliant module, but also against an emulated solution that mimics the desired functinalities purely in software. A controlled, uniform testbed, exploiting the capability of virtual machine hypervisor to change the way the underlying hardware is abstracted to guest environments, is considered. Key metrics, including resource utilization and latency, are purposely defined and evaluated. The results underscore the potential of container technologies to transform the deployment and management of communication solution targeting Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios not only for the infrastructure but also for end devices, with implications for future advancements in wireless network virtualization.
Analysis of Mechanical Properties SCR420 Low Alloy Steel According to Heat Treatment Before Cold Forging
Authors: Jaehan Lim , Soonhong Hwang , Sangwon Lee , Byounglok Jang
Published: February 2025

This study developed a new heat treatment method, normalizing & stress relief (N.S.R), to increase productivity compared to spheroidizing annealing (S.A). The influence of different microstructures resulting from these heat treatments was investigated in cold-forged steel. Despite a shorter heat treatment time, the mechanical properties of the N.S.R alloy were found to be similar to those of the S.A alloy. The factors influencing the mechanical properties of the experimental alloys were analyzed using the Hall-Petch equation, and the predicted values closely matched the measured strength of hy-per-eutectoid steels. The primary factors affecting mechanical properties were micro-structure and dislocation density. In the case of the S.A alloy, the microstructure exhibited lower strength due to the spherical cementite structure. In contrast, the N.S.R alloy had lower strength because of a reduced dislocation density. This was achieved by stress-relief heat treatment below the A1 temperature after phase transformation. Based on the mechanical properties, cold forging simulations showed that the effective stress during cold forging of the N.S.R alloy was similar to that of the S.A alloy.

Published: February 2025

The gut microbiome plays a vital role in human health, functioning as a metabolic organ that influences nutrient absorption and overall well-being. With growing evidence that dietary interventions can modulate the microbiome and improve health, this article examines whether healthcare systems should prioritize personalized microbiome-targeted therapies, such as probiotics, prebiotics, and microbiota transplants, over traditional pharmaceutical treatments for chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular risk, and inflammatory conditions. A systematic review using Web of Science and Scopus databases was conducted, followed by a scientometric analysis. Key metabolic pathways, such as dietary fiber fermentation and short-chain fatty acid production, were explored, focusing on their impact on lipid and glucose metabolism. The interactions between microbial metabolites and the immune system were also investigated. Dietary interventions, including increased fiber and probiotic intake, show potential for addressing dysbiosis linked to conditions like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and autoimmune diseases. The review emphasizes the need to incorporate microbiome modulation strategies into clinical practice and research, calling for a multidisciplinary approach that integrates nutrition, microbiology, and biochemistry to better understand the gut microbiome’s complex role in health.

Published: February 2025

Background: Spinal anesthesia is considered the method of choice for elective cesarean sections; however, it is not without maternal-fetal risks. Materials and Methods: This study compared the effects on maternal hemodynamics of intrathecal administration of fentanyl (F) or morphine (M) in pregnant women undergoing spinal anesthesia with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine, with doses varied between 7.5 mg - 11 mg, depending on the patient's height. Data from a cohort of 170 pregnant women were analyzed. The administered doses were intrathecal M at 0.1 mL (100 µg, solution of 1 mg/mL) or F at 0.25 mL (25 µg, solution of 50 µg/mL). The study included 80 patients in group F and 90 in group M. Results: The group F showed significantly higher post-intervention systolic blood pressure values than the group M (95.30 ± 12.99 mmHg vs. 90.58 ± 14.75 mmHg, p = 0.032). The incidence of vomiting was significantly less frequent in group F compared to group M (1, 1.3% vs. 10, 11.1%, p = 0.011). The total dose of ephedrine required for hypotension correction was significantly lower in the F group (12.75 ± 13.26 mg vs. 17.72 ± 16.73 mg, p = 0.035). Conclusions: The addition of F as an adjuvant alongside the local anesthetic in cesarean section is associated with better hemodynamic stability compared to M, requiring lower doses of ephedrine, and thus increasing patient safety during elective cesarean surgery.
Digital Twins and the Stendhal Syndrome
Authors: Niccolucci Franco , Felicetti Achille
Published: February 2025

The syndrome mentioned in the title refers to the first (early 19th century) documented perception of the role of intangible aspects in characterising cultural heritage. The paper addresses the semantic organisation of data concerning the digital documentation of cultural heritage, considering its intangible dimension in the framework of Digital Twins. The intangible component was one of the aspects motivating the need of setting up the Heritage Digital Twin (HDT) ontology and its extensions, published in a series of papers since early 2023. In this paper we analyse how places, persons and things may give value to a heritage asset, being linked to and supporting its intrinsic cultural significance. This development stems from the consideration of heritage studies and research carried out by scholars and organisations such as UNESCO and ICOMOS, which underline the paramount role of the intangible component in defining heritage assets. The paper then expands the previous semantic structure of the Heritage Digital Twin ontology as concerns the intangible aspects of a heritage asset, extending the HDT concepts by defining new classes and properties related to its intangible component. These are discussed in various cases concerning places, monuments, objects and persons, and fully developed in examples.

Auger electrons are low-energy, high-linear-energy-transfer particles that deposit their energy over nanometers distances. Their biological impact depends heavily on where the radionuclide is localized within the cell. To verify the hypothesis that the cell membrane may be a better molecular target than the cytoplasm in Auger electron therapy, we investigated whether the radiotoxicity of 99mTc varied depending on its location in the cell. The behavior of peptide radiopharmaceuticals 99mTc-TECANT targeted the cell membrane was compared with 99mTc-TEKTROTYD directed to the cytoplasm. Our findings confirmed that 99mTc-TECANT-1 displayed greater binding to AR-42-J cells than 99mTc-TEKTROTYD. Additionally, it was demonstrated that the receptor agonist 99mTc-TEKTROTYD is localized in more than 90% of the cytoplasm, while 99mTc-TECANT-1 is found in 60-80% of the cell membrane. When evaluating cell survival using the MTS assay, we observed that toxicity was significantly higher when 99mTc was targeted to the membrane compared to the cytoplasm. This indicates that, for 99mTc, as with 161Tb, the membrane is a more sensitive target for Auger electrons than the cytoplasm. Our results also suggest that receptor antagonists labelled with highly-radioactive 99mTc may be effective in treating certain cancers. However, further detailed studies, particularly dosimetric investigations, are necessary to validate these findings.

Published: February 2025

Natural populations provide valuable information and resources for addressing the ge-netic characterization of biological systems. Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic fungus that exhibits complex responses to light. Physiological analysis of B. cinerea populations from vineyards in Castilla y León (Spain) allowed the identification of isolate Bc116. This field isolate shows a reduced pathogenicity that is conditioned by the light regime. Light also delays germination and accentuates the negative effect it exerts on the vegetative growth of B. cinerea. Bc116 also displays a marked hyperconidiation phenotype and a characteristic sclerotia production pattern. Genetic analysis demonstrates that the alternative pheno-types regarding pathogenicity, conidiation and pattern of sclerotia production co-segregate in the progeny of crosses between isolate Bc116 and a wild type field isolate, Bc448, showing that they are under the control of a single locus. By applying a strategy based on bulked segregant analysis, the mutation in Bc116 has been mapped to a 200 kb region on Chr14 and the analysis of this region identifies a 2 kb deletion affecting the bcltf1 gene, encoding the B. cinerea Light responsive Transcription Factor 1 described in the reference isolate B05.10. Transformation of Bc116 with the B05.10 bcltf1 allele restored the wild type phenotypes, providing functional evidence that the natural mutant Bc116 is altered in gene bcltf1. This study offers additional information, derived from the analysis of the ge-netic background of a natural mutant, on the physiological processes regulated by BcLTF1 and supports the key role of this TF in the pathogenicity and photobiology of B. cinerea.
Expanding Lake Area on the Changtang Plateau Amidst Global Lake Water Storage Declines: An Exploration of Underlying Factors
Authors: Zhi Da , Pu Yang , Jiang Chuan , Hu Jiale , Nie Yujie
Published: February 2025

The dramatic expansion of lake areas on the Changtang Plateau (CTP) since the late 1990s has attracted significant attention, as it contrasts sharply with the global decline in natural lake water storage during the same period. This study investigates the mechanisms behind lake area changes on the CTP by combining glacier change information obtained from the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform with atmospheric circulation patterns derived from the ERA5 reanalysis dataset. Results indicate that the lake area on the CTP over the past six decades (1960–2020) exhibited three distinct phases: (1) a period of slow expansion from the 1960s to the 1980s; (2) a contraction phase from the 1980s to the late 1990s; and (3) a period of rapid expansion from the late 1990s to 2020. Further analysis revealed that the limited number of glaciers on the CTP significantly affected only a small fraction of glacial lakes near the southern part of the CTP (r = -0.65, p < 0.05). However, this effect is insufficient to explain the extensive expansion of lakes on CTP, particularly since most lakes are not located near glaciers. Instead, the expansion of lakes on the CTP is primarily attributed to anomalous increases in precipitation (r = 0.74, p < 0.01) caused by atmospheric circulation anomalies. This is evidenced by the enhanced Indian summer monsoon, which transports anomalous moisture from the Arabian Sea to the southwestern TP, leading to increased specific humidity at 500 hPa over the CTP during summer. Concurrently, the weakening of the westerly jet stream enhances moisture convergence, further contributing to increased summer precipitation. By integrating glacier change data with atmospheric circulation analysis, this study demonstrates that the extensive lake expansion on the CTP is driven primarily by precipitation anomalies rather than glacial melt. These findings provide valuable insights for future ecological safety planning and sustainable development in the region.

Authors: Xu Wei , Wang Xuejun , Zhao Lei , Zou Jun , Chen Bing
Published: February 2025

Rapid and precise detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at trace levels is critical for industrial safety and environmental air quality monitoring, yet existing methods often struggle with cost, speed, or sensitivity. We introduce a cost-effective cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) analyzer featuring a novel digital locking circuit that enables sequential laser-cavity mode matching, achieving fast and accurate H2S detection at parts-per-billion (ppb) levels. Compared to traditional wavelength meters, our system delivers a 140-fold improvement in frequency interval precision (0.07 MHz, 0.02% relative uncertainty). Allan variance analysis under vacuum conditions demonstrates a sensitivity limit of 3×10⁻¹² cm⁻¹ at a 60-s averaging time. Validated through calibrated gas dilution tests, the analyzer detects a 4 ppb H2S absorption signal with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) > 6, establishing a 2 ppb detection limit (3σ criterion). This innovative approach meets stringent industrial and environmental requirements, offering a significant advancement in trace gas sensing technology.
Three-Dimensional Inversion of the Time-Lapse Resistivity Method on MPI Parallel Algorithm
Authors: Zhu Depeng , Yang Youxing , Wen Lei
Published: February 2025

The resistivity method is widely used to address long-term monitoring challenges in fields such as environmental protection, ecological restoration, seawater intrusion, and geological hazard assessment. However, external environmental changes can influence monitoring data, causing inversion results that fail to accurately reflect subsurface variations. Furthermore, the data volume required for such monitoring is several times larger than that for conventional single-point observations, leading to excessively long inversion times and low computational efficiency. To address these issues, we develop a three-dimensional inversion algorithm for the resistivity method incorporating time-lapse constraints. Additionally, MPI parallelization is integrated into the program to enhance computational efficiency. Through the design of theoretical models and the synthesis of data to test the algorithm, the results show that, compared to separate inversion, the shape and values of time-lapse inversion results at different time points are more consistent, maintaining temporal continuity, and the computational efficiency of MPI parallel inversion is greatly improved. Particularly in high-noise environments, time-lapse inversion effectively suppresses background noise interference, reduces false anomalies, and produces results that closely align with the true model, thus confirming the algorithm’s effectiveness and superiority.

Published: February 2025

Background/Objectives: Effective HIV treatment and prevention rely heavily on patient adherence to the prescribed regimen. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), which involves measuring medication concentrations in blood circulation, offers an objective method to evaluate toxic or ineffective drug levels. TDM is not routinely used in HIV treatment in clinical practice. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to survey infectious disease providers' attitudes and barriers toward therapeutic drug monitoring for antiretroviral therapy in people living with HIV. Methods: A 15-item online survey was distributed to infectious disease providers in the Greater Houston Area, including physicians, pharmacists, and mid-level practitioners involved in HIV patient care. The survey was disseminated via the Houston Citywide Infectious Diseases Provider Network and the Houston AIDS Education and Training Center. The survey employed close-ended questions to evaluate providers' attitudes, perceptions, practices, and barriers toward antiretroviral drug level monitoring. Responses were recorded using a 5-point Likert scale. Demographic characteristics and information regarding research involvement were collected to contextualize the findings. The survey results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, with categorical variables expressed as frequencies and percentages using SAS software. Results: A total of 139 responses were received, with 89 participants meeting the inclusion criteria; the majority were female (62.9%), nearly half were aged 34 or younger (53.4%), 50% physicians and 36.3% pharmacists, and most worked in hospitals (52.3%) or clinics (35.2%). The findings demonstrate participants' predominantly positive attitudes toward TDM. Nearly 70% agree (agree or strongly agree) that TDM will be helpful and positively impact improving drug efficacy and medication adherence. The results revealed sbarriers to implementing TDM, lack of evidence supporting TDM's impact on HIV outcomes, and the absence of clinical guidelines. With <10% disagreed, the results indicated that >90% were ambivalent or agreed that there wasn't enough evidence to support use of TDM and nearly all recognize that the guidelines do not endorse it or don't know if they don't endorse it. Conclusions: The study highlighted positive attitudes and significant barriers to implementing therapeutic drug monitoring, including lack of evidence supporting TDM's impact on HIV outcomes and the absence of clinical guidelines supporting TDM widespread use. The findings emphasize the need for clinical trials and longitudinal studies to establish definitive evidence on the effectiveness of TDM in improving HIV treatment outcomes.

The diagnosis of cirrhosis in patients with autoimmune liver diseases (AILD) is important for predicting long-term outcome and response to therapy, but frequent liver biopsy is not possible in pediatric patients for medical and ethical reasons.
Objective. To evaluate the informativeness and diagnostic significance of indirect serum markers of fibrosis for identifying severe fibrosis and cirrhosis in children with AILD.
Patients and methods. A total of 120 children with AILD aged 1 to 17 years underwent a comprehensive examination, of whom 55 patients underwent liver biopsy followed by a morphological analysis. Indirect serum markers of fibrosis were calculated in all patients: aspartate aminotransferase-to-alanine aminotransferase ratio (AAR), aspartate aminotransferaseto-platelet ratio index (APRI), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-to-platelet ratio (GPR). ROC analysis of the obtained indices was performed.
Results. Autoimmune hepatitis-1 (AIH-1) was diagnosed in 83 (69.2%) children, AIH-2 – in 19 (15.8%), seronegative AIH – in 11 (9.2%), autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis (ASC) – in 7 (5.8%). According to morphological analysis, severe stages of liver fibrosis (F3–4) were found in AIH-1 in 23 (64%) children, in AIH-2 – in 5 (62.5%), in seronegative AIH – in 5 (71%), in ASC – in 2 (50%). In ROC analysis, statistically significant values were obtained only for GPR: sensitivity 61.5% and specificity 95.5%. The positive predictive value (PPV) reached 94.1%, the negative predictive value (NPV) – 67.7%.
Conclusion. If liver biopsy is not possible, estimated indices can be used to assess the stage of liver fibrosis. The most informative marker of cirrhosis in children with AILD is GPR.

PECULIARITIES OF INTERACTION BETWEEN MARKET PARTICIPANTS IN THE CONTEXT OF ITS GLOBALIZATION
Authors: Pavlov Kostiantyn , Sadovska Margaryta , Marchuk Vadym , Osvitsynskyi Bohdan
Published: February 2025

Abstract. The article examines the peculiarities of interaction between market participants in the context of globalization. The key factors affecting the market system, such as monopolization, government intervention, financial speculation, and environmental restrictions, are analyzed. The author discusses the consequences of globalization for countries with different levels of economic development and suggests methods of solving problems related to the violation of market mechanisms. In particular, antitrust policy, international cooperation, and environmental regulation are considered. Globalization has significantly transformed the conditions for the functioning of a market economy, creating new development opportunities and giving rise to threats of market disruption. This issue is particularly relevant in the context of the growing influence of transnational corporations, financial speculation, and environmental challenges that require effective regulatory mechanisms at the global level. The globalization of financial markets has opened up new opportunities for investment and development but has also led to significant risks associated with financial speculation and instability. Reforms of the global financial system include introducing stricter rules for financial transactions, increased supervision of banks and investment funds, and creating mechanisms for rapid response to financial crises. One of the key ways to overcome market failures related to environmental constraints is to develop a “green” economy. This involves stimulating innovation in environmentally friendly technologies, providing subsidies for companies investing in sustainable development, and creating a carbon trading system that would help reduce the negative impact on the environment. Thus, in globalization, the market mechanism is becoming increasingly vulnerable to various external factors, such as monopolization, government intervention, financial speculation, and environmental restrictions. While globalization has created new opportunities for economic development, it has also brought significant challenges that require effective measures to maintain the stability and competitiveness of market relations. To ensure the effectiveness of the market mechanism, it is necessary to implement comprehensive reforms to strengthen antitrust regulation, control financial markets, develop the digital economy, and ensure environmental sustainability.

Published: February 2025

In this article, we examine the application of Aceh Qanun No. 6/2014 on the law of jinayat against acts of khalwat committed by non-Muslims. The aim of the research is to analyse the legal provisions for non-Muslims who commit acts of khalwat based on the provisions of the Qanun Jinayat. This type of research is normative jurisprudence. It uses a deductive approach. The sources of data chosen will be both primary and secondary data. The primary source of data is the Aceh Qanun No. 6/2014 on the Jinayat Law. Meanwhile, the secondary sources of data consist of various books, articles, magazines, and various pieces of information related to the Khalwat movement in Aceh. The result of this research is that non-Muslims who engage in khulwat, whether with Muslims or not, are subject to the applicable provisions of Qanun Aceh No. 6/2014 and do not need to be given the freedom to choose whether to be tried under the Qanun Jinayat or the national law (KUHP). Khalwat crimes are not specifically regulated by the national law (KUHP). The punishment for non-Muslims who commit khalwat is uqubat ta'zir caning up to 10 times or paying a fine of up to 100 grams of pure gold or imprisonment for up to 10 months. With the application of Islamic law to non-Muslims who violate the laws of jarimah, the provisions of which are not regulated in the National Law (KUHP), the Aceh Qanun will continue to cause controversy both nationally and internationally.

Islamic Work Ethic: A Comparative Study on Generation Y and Generation Z
Authors: Anissa Lestari Kadiyono  , AF Mirza Firmansyah
Published: February 2025

Indonesia's Muslim fashion industry is growing rapidly, and the development of its organizational system based on Islamic values and ethics has been a basic guideline for organizational activities. However, the meaning of Islamic work ethics, which is the basis for employees to carry out every activity and influence employees' commitment, participation, and performance, may be different for employees belonging to Generation Z or employees belonging to Generation Y. Employees belonging to Generation Z are known as the instant generation and digital natives. Generation Y employees are known for their focus on personal and individualistic values. This can certainly show behavior with different meanings of Islamic work ethic. This research was conducted on 278 employees from companies that apply Islamic work culture using a quantitative descriptive method and convenience sampling. The data was collected online through Google Form and descriptive analysis was carried out to see the differences in Islamic Work Ethic between Generation Y and Generation Z. The results showed that there is no difference in the Islamic Work Ethic displayed by the employees despite being from different generations. However, there are differences in behavior and understanding of work ethics that can be used as a basis for companies to improve the work ethics of their employees.
Isotopic record of Aptian third-order sea-level trends in platform margin carbonates: implications for sequence stratigraphic analysis

Published: February 2025

In ancient carbonate systems, establishing relationships among sea-level fluctuations, carbonate factory productivity and carbonate geochemistry is challenging due to complex depositional and diagenetic overprinting. The Aptian platform carbonate succession from the western Maestrat Basin, in Spain, serves as an ideal example for potentially linking these processes, particularly establishing the relationships between isotopic records (δ18O and δ13C) and third-order sea-level trends with implications for sequence stratigraphy. This succession is biostratigraphically well-constrained and comprises two depositional sequences that were controlled by a major relative sea-level fall and a subsequent rise. These depositional sequences exhibit stratal terminations and stacking patterns, enabling the establishment of a well-defined sequence stratigraphic framework comprising four systems tracts and their key bounding stratigraphic surfaces. The analytical results reveal that both δ18O and δ13C values outline di stinct temporal trends, which can be correlated with specific third-order stages of relative sea-level fluctuations. The transgressive and highstand systems tracts exhibit the most positive δ13C values (up to +5‰) and the least negative δ18O values (up to -1.8‰). This range, similar to values of carbonates in equilibrium with Cretaceous seawater, δ13C and δ18O values from +2‰ to +5‰ and from -2‰ to -5‰, respectively, likely reflects the marine influence on the isotope values during the stage of high relative sea level. In contrast, the forced regressive and lowstand intervals exhibit less positive δ13C values (reaching +0.5‰) and significantly more negative δ18O values (around -6.1‰), interpreted as the influence of soil-derived organic matter and meteoric waters, respectively, during stages of lower relative sea level. Furthermore, the sedimentary succession records a decreasing trend of δ13C and δ18O values towards the sequence boundary, which marks the lowest point of relative sea level. This study und erscores the potential of carbonate platforms to record geochemical signals that can be directly correlated with different third-order stages of relative sea-level variations. In addition, this framework allows for linking and predicting the potential fluid-rock interaction processes in each systems tract. The proposed approach could offer a predictive framework for characterizing carbonate reservoirs and other carbonate platform successions with poorly defined sequence-stratigraphic frameworks elsewhere.

Textbooks can be one of the means to construct gender roles. Therefore, gender discrimination and equality can be produced and perpetuated through textbooks. This paper wants to examine the construction of the representation of the roles of men and women and the social context surrounding the writing of the textbook al-'Arabiyyah baina Yadaik published in Saudi Arabia. The researcher uses critical discourse analysis to track the representation of the gender division of women and men. Text construction and visualization of male and female roles are analyzed at the macro, meso, and microstructure levels. In the end, the researcher concluded: First, the division of gender roles in the al-'Arabiyyah baina Yadaik textbook is represented in a discriminatory manner. Male gender roles are described as very dominant compared to female roles. The dominance of men over the relationship can be seen at the level of visualization, their role in the family realm, their role in public work, sports activities, and physical activities. Second, the discriminatory depiction of gender roles in the textbook al-'Arabiyyah baina Yadaik is inseparable from the author's social cognition, which is dominantly influenced by the fatwas of Salafi scholars of Saudi Arabia who domesticate the role of women. The access and dominance of strong Salafi scholars in organizing the realm of education in Saudi Arabia affect the construction of discriminatory gender roles, including at the level of textbook preparation.
Abstrak
Buku ajar dapat menjadi salah satu sarana untuk mengkonstruksi peran gender. Oleh karena itu, diskriminasi dan kesetaraan gender dapat diproduksi dan dilanggengkan melalui buku ajar. Tulisan ini hendak mengkaji konstruksi representasi peran laki-laki dan perempuan dan konteks sosial yang melingkupi penulisan buku ajar al-‘Arabiyyah baina Yadaik yang diterbitkan di Arab Saudi. Peneliti menggunakan analisis wacana kritis dalam melacak bentuk-bentuk representasi pembagian peran gender perempuan dan laki-laki. Kontruksi teks dan visualisasi peran laki-laki dan perempuan dianalisa pada level struktur makro, meso, dan mikro. Pada akhirnya peneliti menyimpulkan: Pertama, pembagian peran gender dalam buku ajar al-‘Arabiyyah baina Yadaik direpresentasikan secara diskriminatif. Peran gender laki-laki digambarkan sangat dominan dibandingkan dengan peran perempuan. Dominasi laki-laki atas perepuan tampak pada tataran visualisasinya, perannya dalam ranah keluarga, perannya dalam pekerjaan publik, aktifitas olah raga, dan aktifitas fisik. Kedua, penggambaran diskriminatif peran gender dalam buku ajar al-‘Arabiyyah baina Yadaik tidak terlepas dari relasi kognisi sosial penulis yang secara dominan dipengaruhi oleh fatwa-fatwa ulama Salafi Arab Saudi yang mendomestifikasi peran perempuan. Akses dan dominasi ulama Salafi yang kuat dalam menata ranah pendidikan di Arab Saudi berpengaruh dalam konstruksi peran gender yang diskriminatif termasuk pada tataran penyusunan buku ajar.
