Ground-based photometric survey to search for the pulsational variability in Bp, Ap, and Am stars
Authors: Nhlapo Daniel , Joshi Santosh , Letarte Bruno , Chakradhari Nand Kumar , Tiwari Sanjeev Kumar
Published: January 2022

We present the analysis of time-series of photoelectric data of a Bp star and four new Ap stars observed photoelectrically under the Nainital-Cape survey programme. The project was started about two decades ago, aiming to search for new rapidly oscillating Ap stars. The frequency analysis of the time-series of these stars obtained on multiple nights did not reveal any pulsational variability. In addition to this, we have performed the analysis of time-series differential CCD photometry of the two pulsating Am stars HD 13038 and HD 13079, where we find some evidence of new periods. To expand and strengthen the ongoing survey work, we propose to build-up a tri-national collaboration of astronomers from India, South Africa and Belgium.

Published: January 2022

We present here preliminary results of the young stellar population associated with an active star-forming region Sh2-242 using multi-wavelength observational data. The cluster radius of the region is estimated as 11 arcmin from the radial density profile, using Wide-field InfraRed Camera deep K-band photometric data. Using a deep infrared photometric survey, we have classified more than 150 young stellar objects, distributed within the cluster region. A total of 36 Hα emission line objects were detected using slitless spectroscopic observations and INT Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane photometric data. The optical spectroscopic study confirms that the cluster member BD+26 980 is a massive early-type star (B0.5 V). From the spectrophotometric analysis, the distance to the massive star is estimated as 1769 ± 193 pc, confirming earlier estimations.

Published: January 2022

We present linear polarization towards the direction of the star cluster Alessi 1, which is located in the anti-galactic centre direction. We have observed the cluster using ARIES IMaging POLarimeter (AIMPOL) as a back-end instrument at 104-cm Sampuranand telescope, ARIES, Nainital. The average degree of polarization towards the cluster Alessi 1 are found to be 0.80±0.38 %, 0.80±0.23 %, 0.81±0.26 %, 0.86±0.32 %, in B, V, R, and I photometric bands, respectively, whereas the position angles are found to be 86±11o, 81±10o, 78±8o, 85±8o in B, V, R, and I bands, respectively. Polarization towards Alessi 1 cluster is dominated by foreground dust grains and probably a single layer of the polarized source appears to exist at ~ 0.7 kpc close to Alessi 1 cluster. The minor axis of dust grains towards the cluster Alessi 1 appears aligned along the galactic magnetic field.
Polarization study of massive binaries with the ARIES-1.04 m telescope
Authors: Arora Bharti , Pandey Jeewan Chandra , Joshi Arti , De Becker Michaël
Published: January 2022

We present preliminary results obtained from optical (B, V, R, and I) linear polarimetric observations of the O+O massive binary DH Cep. The observations were made on six nights in 2017 with the Aries IMaging POLarimeter (AIMPOL) mounted at the back of the 1.04-m Sampurnanand Telescope of ARIES. The average intrinsic linear polarization in each of the B, V, R, and I photometric bands is found to be less than 1%. The degree of polarization as well as the polarization angle appear to be orbital phase dependent. The significant polarization variability noticed towards shorter wavelengths (i.e. B and V bands) is indicative of the asymmetric circumstellar envelope.
Multi-wavelength extragalactic astronomy at Ghent University
Authors: Baes Maarten , Camps Peter , De Looze Ilse , Viaene Sébastien
Published: January 2022

Galaxies are generally considered as the basic building blocks of the Universe. Besides stars, galaxies also contain a supermassive black hole, a dark matter halo, and a multi-phase interstellar medium that consists of molecules, atoms, ions, and dust grains. A global picture of the structure, dynamics, formation, and evolution of galaxies requires observations of all these different components, and hence a multi-wavelength approach. We describe the main contributions of the UGent astronomy group to extragalactic astronomy over the last years. We focus on two broad and slightly overlapping fields in which our team has been active: galaxy kinematics and dynamics, and the study of the interstellar medium in galaxies. Possibilities for collaboration with the Indian astronomical community in the frame of the BINA network are highlighted.

Published: January 2022

In this presentation, we briefly discuss how magnetic angular momentum transport in stellar radiative zones can be constrained by asteroseismic measurements. We focus on the internal rotational properties deduced from rotational splittings of solar-like oscillations and how they can be used to characterize angular momentum transport in stellar interiors.
Edible mushrooms, a vulnerable ecosystem service from African miombo woodlands
Authors: Degreef Jérôme , Kasongo Bill , Niyongabo Elias , Kesel André De
Published: January 2022

Description of the subject. Edible mushrooms are highly valuable non-wood forest products exploited for food and trade by local populations in the miombo area. Fungal diversity and natural production of edible mushrooms in African miombo woodlands are assessed and quantified for the first time. Objectives. The study aims to characterize the mycodiversity and compare the natural production in different miombo types to help manage this vulnerable ecosystem service. Method. A standardized data collection method was used in three study sites with different miombo types of Burundi and DR Congo. Sixty field surveys were conducted weekly in 22 permanent plots during fruiting periods. Results. The study revealed a high variation in mycodiversity according to the miombo type. Based on fresh biomass production and compared to saprotrophic taxa, it is shown that ectomycorrhizal fungi represent the most productive edible fungal component in African miombo woodlands. Conclusions. Since ectomycorrhizal host trees are systematically felled for fuelwood and charcoal production, their obligate symbiotic fungal partners are particularly vulnerable. It is suggested that for sustaining ecosystem services delivered by wild edible ectomycorrhizal fungi, forests dominated by host trees from the genera Julbernardia, Brachystegia, Isoberlinia, Uapaca and Marquesia, should be separed from clear-felling or frequent and excessive coppicing.

Results: After reading the titles and abstracts, 91 texts were conducted for full reading and 18 publications were considered for data extraction and article synthesis. Conclusion: the knowledge of the quality of bone tissue and biological aspects is important for the Dental Surgeon to recover the aesthetics and functionality of the stomatognathic and phonetic system, providing a better quality of life to patients.
Feedback-Controlled Topological Reconfiguration of Molecular Assemblies for Programming Supramolecular Structures
Authors: Li Panpan , Song Aixin , Hao Jingcheng , Wang Xu
Published: January 2022

In biology, nonequilibrium assembly is characterized by fuel-driven switching between associating and nonassociating states of biomolecules. This dynamic assembly model has been used routinely to describe the nonequilibrium processes in synthetic systems. Here, we present a G-quartet-based nonequilibrium system mediated by fuel-driven co-assembly of guanosine 5’-monophosphate disodium salt hydrate and urease. Addition of lanthanum(III) ions to the system caused macroscopic dynamic switching between precipitates and hydrogels. Interestingly, combined analyses of the nonequilibrium systems demonstrated that molecules could switch between two distinct associating states without undergoing a nonassociating state, suggesting a nonequilibrium assembly mechanism of topological reconfiguration of molecular assemblies. We detailed quantitatively the nonequilibrium assembly mechanism to precisely control the phase behaviors of the active materials and, therefore, were able to apply the materials for transient-gel-templated polymerization and transient circuit connection. This work presents a new nonequilibrium system with unusual phase behavior, and the resultant active hydrogels hold substantial promise in applications including fluid confinements and transient electronics.
Regioselective access to orthogonal Diels-Alder C60 bis-adducts and tris-heteroadducts via avant-garde supramolecular mask strategy

Published: January 2022

The regioselective poly-functionalization of highly symmetric spherical Ih-C60 is extremely challenging and usually leads to the formation of regio-isomeric mixtures not amenable for HPLC purification. Recently, we have pioneered the regioselective functionalization of C60 fullerene under a supramolecular mask strategy, using tetragonal prismatic nanocapsules to encapsulate C60 and performing the Bingel tetrakis-cyclopropanation at the exposed fullerene surface through the four windows of the nanocapsule. Here, we describe an extension of the supramolecular mask strategy for the selective Diels-Alder (DA) functionalization of Ih-C60 using acenes. The supramolecular mask allows the chemo- and regioselective synthesis of e,e-bis-anthracene-C60 (functionalization at 90o) or the synthesis of trans-1-bis-pentacene-C60 (functionalization at 180o), only by changing the acene length. Moreover, the mask strategy allows to obtain unprecedented equatorial hetero-tris-functionalized-C60 adducts combining Diels-Alder with Bingel mask regiofunctionalization. Computational modelling revealed significant differences in the host-guest interactions and equilibrium established between the firstly formed anthracene- and pentacene-based monoadducts with the nanocapsule, respectively, which finally determine the observed orthogonal regioselectivity. The combination of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and analysis of Frontier Molecular Orbital (FMO) involved in the Diels-Alder cycloadditions provide crucial insights to rationalize the regioselective control exerted by the supramolecular mask.
Polymorphism of boron phosphide: Theoretical and experimental assessments
Authors: Solozhenko Vladimir L. , Matar Samir F.
Published: January 2022

Stable crystal structures of wurtzite (w-BP) and recently discovered rhombohedral (rh-BP) polymorphic modifications of boron phosphide were obtained based on crystal chemistry rationale and unconstrained geometry optimization calculations within the density functional theory (DFT), and compared with known cubic polymorph (c-BP). Both w-BP and rh-BP are mechanically (elastic constants) and dynamically (phonons) stable and exhibit thermodynamic and mechanical properties very close to those of c-BP. The electronic band structures depict semi-conducting behavior with band gap magnitudes close to 0.5 eV for cubic and rhombohedral polymorphs and 1 eV for w-BP.
LOVE SURFACE WAVES AND ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY USED TO DELINEATE THE NEAR SURFACE GEOPHYSICAL STRUCTURE: THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Authors: Çakır Özcan , Coşkun Nart
Published: January 2022

We invert Love surface waves and electrical resistivities to cooperatively examine the physical properties of the depth range shallower than 50-m. To analyze this depth range is essential for earthquake mitigation efforts. The shear-wave velocity (VS30) is particularly important to describe the dynamic characteristics of shallow Earth. The Love surface waves are treated in terms of both phase and group velocities. The phase velocities are obtained from the slant stacking while for the group velocities the multiple filter technique is utilized. A typical shot-gather is assumed to simulate the field collection of the surface wave data. The phase velocity curve represents the average structure beneath the geophone spread. The group velocity curve represents the average structure from the source to the geophone. In a single-station fashion, for each geophone location one group velocity curve is obtained. A linear system is set up to convert these single-station group velocity curves into local group velocity curves at grid points. The latter group velocities are inverted to attain the shear-wave velocity cross section. A similar approach is adopted to study the electrical resistivity structure of the underground. We simulate the field application using a theoretical model. Multiple electrode Pole-Pole array is assumed for the field collection of the resistivity data. The apparent (measured) resistivity values are inverted to attain the true resistivity structure in terms of a cross section. The inverted structures are one-dimensional reflecting depth dependent shear-wave velocities and electrical resistivities underneath the studied region.

Published: January 2022

A project was undertaken to create an inventory and generate relevant baseline information on household ponds in the Halda river watershed. This research is mostly belongs to Mapping and GIS analysis. At first all ponds are divided into two groups, large ponds (above 1000 m2 area) and small ponds (below 1000 m2 area). Then some important geometric and geographic parameters of large ponds are calculated. They are area, elevation and elevation wise distribution, neighbourhood distances, length, width, aspect ratio. Descriptive statistics are generated on these parameters and their mean, median, mode, sum, standard deviation, count, minimum, maximum etc. were calculated. Some informative charts are included in the result showing the findings. To calculate the area and total number of small ponds, intentional sampling is used. The average area of large ponds is about 2670 m2. The average elevation of these ponds is found 11.75 m. The mean neighbouring distance among these ponds is about 237 m and these ponds are rectangular shape in average because their average aspect ratio is 1.46 where aspect ratio 1.00 means the perfect square shape. The total area occupied by all ponds (both large and small) is estimated as 44.2 km2 and it is 2.63% of whole watershed area and 7.38 % of the valley area (here <20 m elevation and relatively plain). The total number of pond is estimated 43745 (large pond 6730 and small pond 37015) and almost all of them are in the valley area of Halda river watershed.
Polygamy, State Racism, and the Return of Barbarism: The Coloniality of Evolutionary Psychology
Authors: Lenon Suzanne
Published: January 2022

This article examines the race-thinking and colonial reasoning circulating in two recent developments in Canadian law with respect to polygamous marriage: the Polygamy Reference (2011) that upheld the Criminal Code provision on polygamy and the Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act (2015). This legislation introduced changes to Canada’s immigration regulations, which include the practice of polygamy as a basis for refusing foreign applicants and deporting foreign nationals. I address how insights from the field of evolutionary psychology were applied in the Polygamy Reference and what discursive and material resonances they had in the Zero Tolerance Act. Drawing on the work of Sylvia Wynter, I situate these judicial and legal developments in relation to violence, within colonial formations of state power, and as forces supporting white supremacy through the continuing valorization of monogamy as a foundational aspect of social and sexual citizenship in Canada.
Settler Colonial Socialization in Public Sector Work: Moving from Privilege to Complicity
Authors: Nath Nisha , Allen Willow Samara
Published: January 2022

In this piece, we ask, what are the risks of a pedagogy and politics that begins and ends with privilege? What does it mean to declare privilege when embedded in institutions of the settler colonial state? These questions are raised through an ongoing project where we interview provincial public sector workers on Treaty 6, 7 and 8 (Alberta, Canada) and Coast Salish Territories (British Columbia, Canada) about their implications in settler colonialism through public sector work. In the project, we articulate the interdisciplinary framework of settler colonial socialization to consider the space between individuals and structures – the meso-space where settlers are made by learning how to take up the work of settler colonialism. For these reasons, in our research we ask, “what do the pedagogical processes of settler colonial socialization tell us about how systemic colonial violence is sustained, and how it might be disrupted or refused in public sector work?” In this paper, we narrow our focus to the declarations of privilege that many of our interview participants are making. We reflect on these declarations and consider whether focusing on settler complicity and Indigenous refusals can better support a decolonial politics for settlers working in the public sector. We argue that declarations of privilege risk reproducing settler-centric logics that maintain settler colonialism, settler jurisdiction, and settler certainty, and we reflect on how to orient participants (and ourselves) towards the material realization of relational accountability and towards imagining otherwise.

Research has shown high levels of housing precarity among government-assisted refugees (GARs) connected to difficult housing markets, limited social benefits, and other social and structural barriers to positive settlement (Lumley-Sapanski, 2021). The COVID-19 pandemic has likely exacerbated this precarity. Research to date demonstrates the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for refugees and low-income households, including both health-related issues and economic challenges, that may exacerbate their ability to obtain affordable, suitable housing (Jones & Grigsby-Toussaint, 2020; Shields & Alrob, 2020). In this context, we examined Syrian government-assisted refugees’ experiences during the pandemic, asking: how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted Syrian refugees’ experiences of housing stability. To examine this issue, we interviewed 38 families in Calgary, London, and Fredericton. Using a qualitative descriptive methodology for analysis and interpretation (Thorne et al., 1997), we found the liminality of settling as a GAR has been compounded by isolation, further economic loss, and new anxieties during the pandemic. Ultimately, for many participants, the pandemic has thwarted their housing stability goals and decreased their likelihood of improving their housing conditions. Based on our findings, we discuss potential policy and practice relevant solutions to the challenges faced by refugees in Canada during the pandemic and likely beyond.
When Lay Knowledge is a Symptom: The Uses of Insight in Psychiatric Interventions
Authors: Rivest Marie-Pier
Published: January 2022

In psychiatry, the concept of “insight” commonly refers to a patient’s judgment that they have a mental illness and need clinical treatment. However, this concept has been criticized because it imposes psychiatric knowledge on the subjective experiences of mental illness and possible interventions. A significant body of literature is critical of mental health interventions; however, insight remains under-explored in this realm. This paper adds to critical analyses of insight by exploring how it is defined and deployed by mental health professionals in an acute inpatient mental health unit in a Canadian general hospital and what disciplinary and epistemic effects it has on patients. To this end, I draw on Foucault’s theories of psychiatric power and Fricker’s concept of epistemic injustice to analyze results from an ethnographic study conducted in an inpatient mental health unit. The results show how patients’ resistance to medical compliance is framed by staff as a lack of insight, which reinforces the psychiatric model of mental illness.
Towards a More Just Canadian Education-migration System: International Student Mobility in Crisis
Authors: Brunner Lisa Ruth
Published: January 2022

Education-migration, or the multi-step recruitment and retention of international students as immigrants, is an increasingly important component of both higher education and so-called highly-skilled migration. This is particularly true in Canada, a country portrayed as a model for highly-skilled migration and supportive of international student mobility. However, education-migration remains under-analyzed from a social justice perspective. Using a mobility justice framework, this paper considers COVID-19’s impact on Canada’s education-migration system at four scales: individuals, education institutions, state immigration regimes, and planetary geoecologies. It identifies ethical tensions inherent to Canada’s education-migration from a systems-level and suggests that a multi-scalar approach to social justice can both usefully complexify discussions and introduce unsettling paradoxes. It also stresses that the COVID-19 pandemic offers an opportunity to reimagine rather than return.

Authors: Aris Christopher
Published: January 2022

This article represents an open repository of human enamel data collected/reconstructed from seven populations covering a 2000 year time period in Britain via five temporally distinct periods. In total data was collected from 285 permanent teeth, including maxillary and mandibular first molars, and maxillary canines and first incisors. Data was gathered through thin histological methods using standard procedures for sectioning human dental material. In regards to enamel growth, data is collected for daily secretion rates (DSRs) for the inner, mid, and outer areas of lateral and cuspal enamel. For enamel thickness average (AET) and relative (RET) enamel thickness, cuspal linear thickness (CT), and lateral linear thickness (LT) was collected. Alongside the data presented this article also provides clear and transparent explanations for all the methods involved in its production, in order to ensure understanding of the rigorous protocol and consistency associated with the data provided. The novel data is also contextualised with a compilation of equivalent data published in past articles.

Published: January 2022

La pandemia de la Covid – 19, que aún atravesamos, presenta un panorama novedoso y muchas incógnitas para la humanidad. Los estilos de vida de toda la población han sido afectados. Sus efectos han originado que se dicten a nivel mundial políticas gubernamentales de salud pública, que se enfocan principalmente en el distanciamiento social y cuarentena de la población, las cuales han traído, además, una serie de efectos psicológicos que se producen en la población tanto a nivel personal como colectivo, siendo los niños una población especialmente vulnerable, que se relaciona íntimamente y debe ser estudiada conjuntamente con su entorno familiar. La presente investigación pretende compendiar y esbozar el impacto psicológico de la Covid – 19 en niños y su entorno familiar. El modelo de investigación es una revisión de tipo documental bibliográfico. De la revisión se desprende que el impacto psicológico de la Covid – 19 en niños y su entorno familiar viene dado, entre otros, por factores tales como los efectos directos de la enfermedad (Covid – 19), el confinamiento y distanciamiento social, un mayor uso de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) y la violencia intrafamiliar. Asimismo, sus manifestaciones más frecuentes incluyen la depresión con sentimientos de tristeza y abandono, la regresión emocional y conductual, el estrés, entre otros. La violencia intrafamiliar, es capaz de dejar heridas permanentes en forma de deterioro en el desarrollo del cerebro y la esfera psicológica de los niños. Entre los efectos más severos se pueden mencionar las obsesiones y compulsiones. Se puede concluir que, la forma en cómo estén viviendo y afrontando esta pandemia los padres, responsables y/o cuidadores repercute en la salud mental de los niños. En consecuencia, el bienestar de los niños, depende en gran medida del bienestar con que estén viviendo los integrantes de su entorno familiar.

Published: January 2022

“Letters of a Russian officer” by F.N. Glinka is a multi-layered work characterized by a combination of various genres. The historiography has been so far mainly concerned with the genre nature of that source. The purpose of the article is to identify historical parallels and cultural stereotypes that arise in the creative mind of the author when thinking about the personality of Napoleon and his historical role. Direct or indirect correlation of Napoleon with the symbolic names – Nebuchadnezzar, Batu Khan, Catilinа – constitute a characteristic feature of the story, the author’s handwriting. The article attempts to identify the sources of these nominations, as well as their transformation.
WHAT DO RUSSIANS DREAM ABOUT? FUNCTIONING OF LEXEMES “TO DREAM”, “DREAM”, “DREAMING” IN MODERN MEDIA TEXT (BASED ON PUBLICATIONS OF THE INFORMATION PORTAL “LENTA.RU”)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Afanas’eva Ol’ga M.
Published: January 2022

The article analyzes the syntagmatic connections of the words “to dream”, “dream”, “dreaming” based on the materials of the news portal “Lenta. ru”. The phrases found in the corpus of texts under consideration (which comprised more than three author’s sheets) with those words represent the semantic core of the concept “dream” and the corresponding fragment of the journalistic picture of the world – to the extent that this fragment was presented in the publications of 2019–2021 of the media selected for research. The journalistic picture of the world is understood by the author of the article as a kind of functional-style picture of the world, i.e. as a communicatively conditioned version of the linguistic picture of the world, which, fixing the specifics in the life of the people, stores information about the world and is “a vivid reflection of the character and worldview of the people” [Bulygina, Shmelev 1997, p. 481]. The journalistic picture of the world created by the mass media influences the conceptual picture of the world of their addressees, including the semantic content and hierarchy of culturally significant concepts. Thus, studying the syntagmatic connections of the words “to dream”, “dream”, “dreaming” in the publications of “Lenta.ru”, we identify modern ideas about the semantic core of the concept “dream”, which are fixed in the journalistic picture of the world of the media under consideration and broadcast to the audience of the publication.

Efficient Feature Selection and ML Algorithm for Accurate Diagnostics
Authors: Nyangaresi Vincent Omollo , El-Omari Nidhal Kamel Taha , Nyakina Judith Nyakanga
Published: January 2022

Machine learning algorithms have been deployed in numerous optimization, prediction and classification problems. This has endeared them for application in fields such as computer networks and medical diagnosis. Although these machine learning algorithms achieve convincing results in these fields, they face numerous challenges when deployed on imbalanced dataset. Consequently, these algorithms are often biased towards majority class, hence unable to generalize the learning process. In addition, they are unable to effectively deal with high-dimensional datasets. Moreover, the utilization of conventional feature selection techniques from a dataset based on attribute significance render them ineffective for majority of the diagnosis applications. In this paper, feature selection is executed using the more effective Neighbour Components Analysis (NCA). During the classification process, an ensemble classifier comprising of K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Naive Bayes (NB), Decision Tree (DT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) is built, trained and tested. Finally, cross validation is carried out to evaluate the developed ensemble model. The results shows that the proposed classifier has the best performance in terms of precision, recall, F-measure and classification accuracy.

Spanules are constructed for the release of API (Drug) at different rates and times. The first immediate /slow-release pattern gives an initial drug release which is followed by drug release at a constant rate for an extended time.This will result in constantdrugsbeing available for a long time of period. This doses form is useful to overcome repeated drug dosing.

Nanotechnology is a modern and developed technology, which have great importance in many ﬁelds of medicine (diagnosis and treatment). Also, it used to prevent and solve many problems related to animal production and health. The Nanosystems are including metallic nanoparticles, liposomes, polymeric Nanospheres, polymeric micelles, carbon nanotubes, functionalized fullerenes, polymer-coated Nanocrystals, dendrimers and Nanoshells. Our review showed a details classification of nanoparticles and their uses. Nanoparticles have several features depended on the size, colossal surface. The development of antibiotics nanoparticle is very important and has an excellent impact in treating bacterial infections wherever the antibiotics nanoparticle gives high therapeutic eﬀect without negative side eﬀects. Our review showed some aspects of the nanoparticles' classification and their uses in general form and veterinary medicine, focusing the light on nanoparticle applications in the nutrient, Biocides, meat and egg quality, milk, animal treatment diseases, and reproduction the animals.
The COVID-19 pandemic, associated mental health issues and music educational therapy; An international and Chinese approach
Authors: Wolfgang Mastnak
Published: January 2022

COVID-19 dynamics and measures to control the pandemic have worldwide caused a high amount of mental and affective disturbances. Particularly children and adolescents have been confronted with home-schooling, domestic violence, social isolation and loneliness, existential issues, as well as the experience of multifaceted panicmongering and related pathological reactions. Although estimated prevalence rates of COVID-19 associated mental disorders vary across studies, there is a statistical tendency suggesting that about one third of the younger population exhibits serious psychiatric issues. As this quantity goes beyond the capacity of institutionalised psychiatric care, new models combining education and therapy are needed and are challenging today’s school systems. In Germany the COPSY study provided differential diagnostic data, and a music educational study used meta-synthetic methods to construct robust hypotheses which are considered stronger than usual hypotheses, but still need follow-up studies to explore underlying mechanisms and to estimate effect sizes. The related music-health-educational framework covers six key areas: (i) creative interaction to treat ‘coronanxiety’, (ii) focal listening to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorders, (iii) vocal immersion to improve psychosomatic self-regulation, (iv) sound scene improvisation to enhance self-actualisation and relieve learned helplessness, (v) artistic expression to support coping processes and communication skills and (vi) the ‘Beloved Augustin phenomenon’ concerning the positive impact of arts and joy on the immune system. Actually these approaches are being examined for application in China, alongside socio-cultural adaptations, qualitative research and neuroscientific studies on underlying mechanisms.

Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) was carried out in Rukpokwu, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Rivers State, Nigeria to investigate the effect of waste dump on groundwater quality in the study area. An ABEM SAS 300 terrameter was used. Schlumberger configuration was adopted for the sounding to acquire a 4 point data, and at Rukpokwu adjudged to be free from waste dumps which served as control. The result of the resistivity survey was interpreted by IPI2WIN computer software, revealing the subsurface lithology, thickness of lithology, prolific auriferous zones, curve types and zones of contamination. The Niger Delta has a shallow water table which makes it prone to easy contamination. Different resistivity values were obtained; high resistivity values are an indication of uncontaminated subsurface lithologic zones while low resistivity values are an indication of contaminated subsurface lithologic zones as a result of dissolved ions and metals from waste dumps decomposing through biochemical reactions, hydrolysis, oxidation and reduction processes which subsequently leads to the formation of leachate. This leachate is in hydraulic continuity with groundwater flow which eventually leads to groundwater contamination. Therefore a geophysical survey is essential and necessary before a borehole drilling project is carried out in order to ascertain the depth to prolific aquifer which will give potable water free from contamination.
