Published: June 2021

The easily accessible ice at Paakitsoq offers a favourable opportunity to study the major climatic events that occurred during the last glacial cycle, since large samples of ice with a limited age-range can be obtained. In this sense the ice margin record is an alternative to the deep ice-core records where the number of environmental parameters that can be studied is limited by the amount of ice available, each parameter requiring a certain amount of ice for its analysis (Reeh et al., 1993). This possibility has attracted the attention of scientists working with environmental parameters requiring large ice samples. A Danish, American, Canadian and German joint project was therefore initiated, and in April 1994 a programme of retrieving ice samples for studies of pollen, dust, chemistry, textures, fabric and visual stratigraphy was carried out. Furthermore, measurements of mass balance, ice velocity and deformation were made. In addition to the possibility of studying the variation of environmental parameters over a full glacial cycle, the project will also support the establishment of a better chronology along the Paakitsoq profile.

Seismic structural mapping of the Middle and Upper Jurassic in the Danish Central Trough
Authors: Møller Jens Jørgen
Published: June 2021

The Middle and Upper Jurassic of the Danish Central Trough have been studied by the use of seismic structural mapping. The area studied is divided into the following structural elements which are the Ringkøbing-Fyn High, the Mid North Sea High, the Mads High (new name), the Inge High (new name), the Mandal High, the Tail End Graben, the Arne-Elin Graben (new name), the Feda Graben, the Gertrud Graben (new name), the Salt Dome Province, the Sogne Basin, the Pout Plateau (new name), the Heno Plateau (new name), the Outer Rough Basin, the Grensen Nose, and the Gert Ridge (new name). These structural elements are described individually. The structural framework is demonstrated to be dominated by north-south trending normal faults and northwest-southeast trending right-lateral strike-slip faults. The most active rifting phases in the Mesozoic period took place during the Middle and Late Jurassic. The tectonic activity ceased during the Late Jurassic in the southern part of the Danish Central Trough, while in the northern part the activity continued into the Early Cretaceous. During the Late Cretaceous and Early Tertiary the faults were reactivated by inversion caused by transpression related to the formation of the Alpine Fold Belt.
Diagenesis of the Gassum Formation Rhaetian-Lower Jurassic, Danish Subbasin
Authors: Friis Henrik
Published: June 2021

The Upper Triassic-Lower Jurassic Gassum Formation is a shallow marine or deltaic sandstone body with intercalated mudstones. The sandstones are primarily arkoses and subarkoses, but the composition is strongly influenced by diagenesis. Depths of burial vary between ea. 550 m and 3350 m, and the diagenetic modifications are strongly dependent on depth. The diagenetic pattern is also related to primary lithology. At shallow depth of burial, the most important diagenetic changes are compaction, calcite cementation, formation of kaolinite, and dissolution of feldspar. In deeply buried parts of the formation, the most important diagenetic changes are reduction of primary and secondary porosity by strong cementation by quartz, albitization of partly dissolved feldspar and ankerite cementation. In chlorite-cemented parts, quartz cementation was inhibited, and here pressure solution occurred in deep parts of the formation. The porosity in these deeply buried samples may be reduced to secondary intragranular porosity in partly dissolved feldspar and intercrystalline porosity in clay mineral cements. Other diagenetic minerals are siderite, pyrite, anhydrite, potassium feldspar and illite. The diagenesis evolved through the eodiagenesis and the immature and semimature stages of mesodiagenesis, whereas mature stages have not been reached.
Stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Zechstein carbonates of southern Jylland, Denmark
Authors: Stemmerik Lars , Frykman Peter
Published: June 2021

The Upper Permian Zechstein succession of southern Jylland, Denmark, is composed of a cyclic repetition of carbonate, anhydrite and salt, and includes four main carbonate units: Ca-la, Ca-lb, Ca-2 and Ca-3. The stratigraphy and log-correlation in the southern Jylland area is outlined and compared to other areas. Descriptions of facies and interpretation of depositional models for the four carbonate units are presented. The depositional system comprised a shelf with marginal sabkha evaporites and carbonates; the shelf underwent evolution from a ramp-like to a platform configuration. This evolution is seen as the result of the interplay between evaporite and carbonate sedimentation. Accumulation of sulphate evaporites during Z-1 times produced a sediment body with a platform morphology. Z-2 carbonate deposition further enhanced the platform configuration, with consequent development of a marked zonation of facies according to energy level. Later in Z-2 time the platform - basin system suffered demise as the basinal areas were filled with halite and during the remaining period of basinal history shallow water conditions prevailed throughout the area.
Geochemical investigation of NaCl-KCl-MgCl2-CaCl2-FeCl2 solutions in Zechstein 2 salt, Suldrup Dome, Denmark. Microthermometry on fluid inclusions in halite
Authors: Fabricius Johannes
Published: June 2021

Large, irregular fluid inclusions with daughter bischofite, MgCl2 • 6H2O, in recrystallized halite from former brine pockets in grey Zechstein 2 rock salt from the Suldrup dome, Denmark, were studied by means of microthermometry. The test material consists of ca 3 kg cleavage pieces and a piece of core of extremely clean, colourles, limpid halite. Anhydrite and pyrrhotite are present as solid inclusions in trace amounts only. The irregular inclusions studied all contain daughter bischofite at room temperature. Optical, crystallographic, and chemical (melting) methods proved the daughter mineral to be bischofite. The mean dissolving temperature Tmhex = 56.5 ± 0.9°C, 95% confidence limit, of 117 measurements yields, from pertinent phase diagrams, a quantitative composition of the equilibrium solution: 114 mol MgCl2 + 1.2 mol K2Cl2 per 1000 mol H2O, saturated with NaCl (ca. 2 mol Na2Cl2 per 100 mol H2O). Exposed to the atmosphere, the equilibrium solution becomes orange yellowish after some days, thus proving the presence of FeCl2 (5-10 mol/1000 mol H2O). In one inclusion carnallite (KMgCl3 • 6H2O) was observed, the dissolving temperature Tmcar = 81.9°C of which is a minimum trapping temperature. The minimum trapping pressure is calculated at slightly higher than 65 MPa. The viscosity at 80°C is estimated at ca. 4 centipoise. Measurements of the homogenization temperature in fluid phase are meaningless due to the presence of compressed gas, possibly H2S. The following model is proposed concerning the formation of the studied halite: During the end of the diapiric penetration phase in Lower Cretaceous, a metamorphic lye mixed with concentrated sea water in NaCl facies in brine pockets within the grey Zechstein 2 rock salt, causing salting out of the studied halite. The metamorphic lye derived from a metamorphosed carnallitic potash zone. The carnallitic solution was mixed with an infiltrating rinneitic (3KC1 · NaCl · FeCl2) solution. The mixture was squeezed out from the potash zone during the diapiric penetration phase, leaving a trail of disseminated grains and fracture fillings of carnallite all the way up to the former brine pockets. The minerals bischofite and pyrrhotite, Fe1-xS, are reported from Denmark for the first time.

Sandy braidplan deposits from the Triassic Skagerrak Formation in the Thisted-2 well, Denmark
Authors: Olsen Henrik
Published: June 2021

Detailed facies analyses have been carried out on the Triassic Skagerrak Formation on core material from the Thisted-2 well, Denmark. Facies patterns in the sediments show affinity to present day river models. The informations are combined into a braidplain model in which the proximal braidplain was composed of featureless Platte-type streams. Deeper South Saskatchewan-type streams represented the intermediate braidplain. The distal braidplain was dominated by ephemeral streams. Towards north and northeast coalescing alluvial fans formed the immediate connection to the source area, the Fennoscandian Shield.

The Upper Triassic - Lower Jurassic Vinding and Gassum Formations of the Norwegian-Danish Basin
Authors: Bertelsen Finn
Published: June 2021

The late Triassic-early Jurassic Vinding and Gassum Formations are redefined and mapped within the Norwegian-Danish Basin. The Vinding Formation is a brackish marine shallow water deposit restricted to the Danish Subbasin. It is of late Norian-Rhaetian age. The Gassum Formation is a fluvio-deltaic to near-shore marine, arenaceous deposit carried from north and east into the basin. Its upper part is diachronous, ranging in age from Rhaetian in the basin center to late Sinemurian in the northern margin. It is proposed that the Ullerslev Formation is repealed. The parallelism between the course of sedimentation in the Norwegian-Danish Basin, the North German Basin and the Polish Basin indicates eustatic sea level changes to be of greater importance than local tectonic events.

Published: June 2021

Data on Pre-Permian rocks are reported only from the P-1 well, which was bottomed in Caledonian basement. The geology of this formation in the western part of the Danish sector is, therefore, poorly known. According to the age determinations performed and reviewed by Frost et al. (1981), the North GermanPolish Caledonides extend under most of the North Sea and join the Scottish-Norwegian Caledonides, whereas most of the Ringkøbing-Fyn High is underlain by Precambrian basement.
Source rocks
Authors: Lindgreen Holger , Thomsen Erik , Wrang Per
Published: June 2021

Little has been published on source rocks of Paleozoic and Mesozoic ages in the North Sea. Gas in many fields of the southern North Sea is known to originate from Late Carboniferous Coal Measures, (Eames 1975). In the East Midlands area of England, the oil in Carboniferous reservoirs is believed to originate from Carboniferous rocks (Bernard & Cooper 1981). Several papers published on the oil fields in the southern and northern North Sea suggest a Late Jurassic source rock (see review by Weismann 1979 and Bernard & Cooper 1981). Also Early and Middle Jurassic shales are suggested as possible source rocks in parts of the North Sea (Fuller 1975, Oudin 1976). Published data on source rock conditions in the Danish sector is limited to Weismann (1979).

Published: June 2021

In Mexico, the end user of gas turbines (PEMEX), in the NRF standard, requests the Goodman and Campbell diagrams for the acquisition of new turbo machinery. However, the requirement of the diagrams is not reported when the turbine is sent for overhaul. In this research article, it is suggested that the end user when carrying out a wear analysis of a turbine blade, know precisely the conditions of a blade in case of total loss of the machine or in conditions in which they send one or several turbine discs to the manufacturer and the conditions that receives after overhaul the discs. Wear and friction are the most adverse factors in reducing the useful life of mechanical equipment. The loss of a relatively small amount of material, in certain critical locations of any mechanical part, can make the difference between the damage and the good functioning of the gas turbine, so this research aims to characterize images of a turbine blade with in order to identify any wear or mechanical failure; analyzing the responses to deterministic and non-deterministic variables, looking for responses that contribute to the early detection of any mechanical failure that prevents the total loss of the gas turbine in operation. To achieve the objectives set out in this research, techniques and tools with a systemic and systematic approach are used, which will allow the characterization and interpretation of images of gas turbine blades.

Published: June 2021

In the field of research and consequent elaboration of biopolymers it has been growing in the last decade, either due to the hardening of the environmental legislation of each country or due to ecological awareness, in any case the term biopolymer is quite broad, these being used as material premium in medicines, food supplements and of course in the production of bioplastics. Since the topic of interest is the comparative characterization of biopolymers using starch extracted from two different cereals, oats and rice, using the alkaline technique with NaOH treatment and the milling technique, assuming that the starch extracted from the Oryza sativa cereal presents chemical characteristics, geometric and mechanical superior in both techniques used unlike the polymers made with Avena sativa starch. These results suggest that the starch quality of each cereal is relevant for the production of biopolymers [1]. The commercially significant properties of starch, such as its mechanical strength and flexibility, depend on the strength and character of the crystalline region, which depends on the ratio of amylose and amylopectin.

Influence of physical activity on linear growth in children and adolescents
Authors: Jazbinšek Sončka , Kotnik Primož
Published: June 2021

Linear growth is the result of bone elongation in children and adolescents mediated by processes of endochondral ossification and maturation of bone tissue. Physical activity (PA) importantly influences both processes through systemic and local effects, mediated by growth hormone, insulin-like factor I, sex hormones, thyroid hormones, glucocorticoid hormones and various cytokines with endo-, para- and autocrine function, secreted by adipose tissue (adipokines) or muscles (myokines). It is important to promote a physically active lifestyle already in early childhood as it tends to persist into adulthood together with favorable body composition. From the safety point-of-view, recent data suggests that PA does not negatively influence linear growth regardless of its duration or intensity, as long as chronic negative energy balance is prevented by sufficient energy intake.

The aim of this review is to describe current scientific knowledge on the mechanisms by which PA could influence linear growth and present recent studies analyzing its possible effects.
Eating attitudes and body image concerns among female athletes from aesthetic sports
Authors: Aleksić Veljković Aleksandra , Đurović Dušanka , Biro Filip , Stojanović Katarina , Ilić Predrag
Published: June 2021

Purpose: Research has suggested that in female athletes from aesthetic sports the prevalence of disordered eating attitudes is higher than in female athletes from other sports, mainly due to sport related factors like extreme training and practicing sports associated with high pressure and the idea that “being thin leads to success”. The study was conducted to examine the prevalence of disturbed eating attitudes and their relationship with body image concerns in aesthetic and non-aesthetic female athletes.

Methods: 54 female athletes from aesthetic sports (synchronized swimming, artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, and dance), as well as 66 female athletes from non-aesthetic sports (volleyball, track and field, and soccer), completed the Eating Attitudes Test, the Body Shape Questionnaire, and the Figure Rating Scale (a visual scale used to assess body image dissatisfaction and body image dissatisfaction in relation to sport).

Results: The results indicated that aesthetic athletes scored significantly higher than those involved in non-aesthetic sports in Dieting, and in Body Image Dissatisfaction. Moreover, aesthetic athletes demonstrated significantly lower BMI mean scores. Significant correlations were found between Body Mass Index and Oral Control, Body Image Dissatisfaction and Body Image Dissatisfaction in relation to Sport, and between Eating Attitudes Test and the Body Shape Questionnaire results in aesthetic athletes. Furthermore, significant associations were found between Body Mass Index and Body Shape Questionnaire, Body Image Dissatisfaction and Body Image Dissatisfaction in relation to Sport, and Eating Attitudes Test and Body Shape Questionnaire in non-aesthetic athletes.

Conclusion: The study confirmed the relationship between body image concerns and pathological eating attitudes among female aesthetic sport athletes.

Value Relevance of Firms' Reportable Segment Profit or Loss Reconciliation
Authors: Nuryani Nunung , Heng Tan Thing , Ferah Phan
Published: June 2021

Objective - The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) No.8 adopted in Indonesian GAAP (Statement No. 5, 2012) requires a company to provide a reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments' profit or loss of the firm's profit or loss. The objective of this standard is to improve the value relevance of information in the financial statement. This study aims to investigate the value relevance of the segment reconciliation and the determinants of segment income dissimilarity, i.e. agency cost, proprietary cost, and audit quality.

Methodology/Technique - Data used in this study was a secondary data obtained from 142 manufacturing companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2009 to 2013. Purposive sampling method yielded 59 firms. Two research models were used to test proposed hypotheses.

Findings - The results show reconciliation of total of segments' profit or loss of the firms' profit or loss positively affects the market value of equity; this means segments' reconciliation disclosure has value relevance for the investment decisions. In addition, this paper provides evidence that audit quality negatively affects the segment income dissimilarity, while agency cost and proprietary cost have no effect. This is consistent with hypothesis that firms audited by the Big Four tend to avoid disclosure of dissimilarity between firms profit or loss and segment profit or loss.

Novelty - Our findings show that audit quality (Big 4 accounting firms) plays an important role in reducing dissimilarity between the sum of segment profit and firm profit (segment profit dissimilarity)

Profit and Loss Sharing System - Solution for Trade-offs between Banking Profitability and Economic Efficiency of Intermediation
Authors: Manzilati Asfi
Published: June 2021

Objective - The higher the difference between the loan interest and the deposit interest is, the better it is for a bank. This reflects a higher margin/profitability. However, it also shows less efficiency of the intermediation mechanism. Using literature research, this study aims to understand how the mechanism of Profit and Loss Sharing System (Islamic Banking System) can become the solution for the trade-off.

Methodology/Technique - This study uses literature search and review as the method to gain an understanding of the fundamental concept as well as to offer critique by noting the trade-offs associated with the micro and macro objectives of banking.

Findings - In the profit and loss sharing system made accessible through partnership, the returns that will be earned by one part depends on the other part. This requires each part to behave professionally and responsibly. Depositors' returns depend on banks' returns and banks' returns depend on mudharib's return. Therefore, there is no difference between banking profitability and efficiency of the intermediation.

Novelty - With the same implications noted between the micro objective of banks (advantage as a business entity) and the efficiency of intermediation as well as the implications for the affordability and social justice, there is no trade-off between profitability and economic efficiency of intermediation. In addition, the profit and loss sharing system can also be a solution for the trade-off itself.

Type of Paper: Review

Keywords: Profit and Loss Sharing System, Micro-macro Trade-off, Banking Profitability, and the Economic Efficiency of Intermediation
Single Beta and Dual Beta Models: A Testing of CAPM on Condition of Market Overreactions
Authors: Sembiring Ferikawita M. , Rahman Sulaeman , Effendi Nury , Sudarsono Rachmat
Published: June 2021

Objective - A previous study conducted by the same authors found that the conditions of market overreaction occurred in Indonesia and the market factor in CAPM, or a single beta, is able to explain the portfolio returns. As a continuation of that study, we now use the concept of conditional CAPM, or a dual beta, to test whether the performance of the dual beta can outperform the single beta.

Methodology/Technique - The research uses the stocks of non-financial sector company on the Indonesian Stock Exchange during the period between July 2005 and December 2015, which have been divided into two portfolios; the winner and the loser. The conditional CAPM is applied by separating the market into upstream markets and downstream markets, so the dual beta model can be formulated.

Findings - The results are consistent with the findings of Pettengill et al. (1995). The results of a single beta test do not comply with the conditions required in the CAPM model and this can be corrected through conditional beta testing that includes the testing on the up beta, down beta, and the dual beta.

Novelty - The dual beta model can explain the returns of the portfolio in accordance with the expected results in CAPM testing. The explanation by using the dual beta model is more accurate and more successful than the single beta model.
