Synthesis and revision of the lithostratigraphic groups and formations in the Upper Permian?-Lower Jurassic Newark Supergroup of eastern North America
Authors: Weems Robert E. , Tanner Lawrence H. , Lucas Spencer G.
Published: January 2024

The Upper Permian? - Lower Jurassic Newark Supergroup of eastern North America has a strikingly uniform succession of lithologic units. This uniformity is seen regardless of whether these units are characterized on the basis of their lithostratigraphy, allostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, or chemostratigraphy. After deposition, these units were broken up tectonically and attacked erosionally; parts of them survive today only within localized, down-faulted areas. Many lines of evidence compellingly demonstrate that most or all of these remnant units once were physically continuous between remaining outcrops. It is needlessly confusing to give every remnant of each unit a different name in each area where it persists simply because it is now physically isolated by erosion from other portions of the same unit. Instead, these units should be defined within a regional lithostratigraphic framework that emphasizes their common origins and original stratigraphic continuity. To this end, the formation-level stratigraphy of the Newark Supergroup is reduced from 58 locally applied and locally defined formations to a succession of only 16 uniformly defined and regionally recognizable formations. In all cases the oldest name validly applied to each formation is given priority over more recently erected synonymous names, which are either abandoned or, in a few cases, changed in rank to a member of one of the formations recognized here. The Newark Supergroup is here organized into four regionally recognizable groups, each subdivided into regionally recognizable formations. In ascending order, the Upper Permian?-Middle Triassic Acadia Group (new name) includes the Honeycomb Point Formation, Chedabucto Formation, Economy Formation, and Evangeline Formation. This group is preserved only in the Canadian Fundy and Chedabucto basins. The Upper Triassic (Carnian-Norian) Chatham Group includes the Doswell Formation, Stockton Formation, Lockatong Formation, and Passaic Formation. The Upper Triassic-Lower Jurassic (upper Rhaetian-lower Hettangian) Meriden Group includes the Talcott Formation, Shuttle Meadow Formation, Holyoke Formation, East Berlin Formation, and Hampden Formation. The term "Agawam Group," previously proposed to encompass all Newark Supergroup strata above the highest basalt of the Meriden Group, is here abandoned and replaced with the name "Portland Group" for the same suite of strata. The Lower Jurassic (upper Hettangian-lower Sinemurian) Portland Group includes a lower Boonton Formation, an overlying Longmeadow Sandstone (here reinstated), and the Mount Toby Conglomerate, which laterally intertongues with both the Boonton Formation and the Longmeadow Sandstone.

Published: January 2024

The idea that organisational culture influences service quality, which in turn has effect on both clients and employees, has gained extensive recognition in both academia and organisational practices. This study investigates the influence of organisational culture on service quality in private hospitals in Ghana. The present study also utilised employee engagement as mediating variable. Organisational culture, service quality and employee engagement all remain a major issue in Ghana, both in private and government institutions. Hence, creating a culture that is favourable to providing quality services and encouraging employee engagement is significant for ideal organisational results. The study adopted a mixed method approach using both qualitative and quantitative data. This study was carried out on a sample of 367 participants using a simple random sampling approach and 15 participants selected using a purposive sampling method from selected private hospitals located in Accra-Ghana. The researcher collected data electronically using both questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The psychometric properties (validity and reliability) were statistically evaluated using Factor Analysis and Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha respectively. The quantitative data was evaluated using both descriptive and inferential statistics and the qualitative data was examined using thematic analyses. There were high perceptions of organisational culture (involvement, consistency, adaptability, mission), service quality (reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy, responsiveness) as well as employment engagement (vigour, absorption, dedication). This study specifies that there is no significant relationship between organisational culture and service quality. Additionally, this study indicates that there is no significant between relationship between employee engagement and service quality. This study examined the inter-connections of the variables and their effect on the biographic profiles. Additionally, the study states that there is a significant relationship between organisational culture and employee engagement. Furthermore, organisational culture and employee engagement significantly account for 26.1% of the variance service quality.

Authors:   , Mzileni Lonwabo
Published: January 2024

The world is currently in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterised by fast-advancing digital technologies. Digital technologies such as the internet of things, artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomation, 3D printing, cloud computing, nanotechnology, and many other similar technologies, directly and indirectly affect the way of life. This direct and indirect effect is prolificated by the ability of digital technologies to influence communication, information, knowledge and daily operations in all aspects of life at home, in society and at the workplace level. The growth or advances of digital technologies is said to be at an unprecedented speed. It comes with rapid changes that have made the 21st-century global economy and environment volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. This complex nature of the modern environment presents uncertainties, and amid it, organisations must deal with the changes and continue to operate efficiently and effectively. As a result, there has been an observed paradigm shift in public service delivery and administration where governments across the world utilise information and communication technology, digital technologies and the Internet to improve operations and service delivery. For instance, innovation strategies such as e-Government exemplify the adoption and utilisation of technologies in state services. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the accelerating innovation strategies in service delivery within this Fourth Industrial Revolution era. A qualitative approach to best respond to the research questions and used purposive sampling to identify the most relevant participants. The population of this study was KwaZulu Natal Treasury employees and study size and sample was eight staff members from the IT and Systems Units within Treasury. Data was collected through open-ended semi-structured interviews. The collected data was reviewed, synthesised and interpreted through thematic analysis. A rigorous analysis of primary data led to the findings of unequal levels of innovation within Treasury. Implying that some units or departments invest in innovations more than others. Further findings showed that the adopted innovations proved to be beneficial in terms of improving service delivery. Leading to the conclusion that taking full advantage of innovation technologies and systems could be advantageous for the department. Additionally, this study found that adopting 4IR technologies, digital services, ICT infrastructure, and innovation strategies relies on budget sufficiency. Therefore, accelerating innovation systems and processes in service delivery requires the department, its leaders, and management to embrace and invest in innovation.
CORONA IS AN ATTACK, ELECTIONS ARE BATTLES AND SPORTS IS WAR: UNIVERSALITY OF WAR METAPHOR AND EMBODIMENT OF COGNITION
Authors: G Vinurajesh
Published: January 2024

The human conceptual framework is metaphorical and plays an important role in giving meaning to our everyday reality. The publication of the book Metaphors We Live By (1980) by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson brought out a paradigm shift in the traditional conceptualisation of metaphor as a linguistic, ornamental phenomenon, as they argued that metaphors are conceptual in nature, pervasive in thought and govern our everyday reality. Generally, disease, sports, and elections are presented in terms of war in popular media as well as in other public discourses. Thus, in our discursive domains, the Covid-19 pandemic is often portrayed as an attack, sports competitions are wars, elections are battles, and this conceptualisation makes complete sense to people globally regardless of language or cultural background. This article examines, with recourse to the theoretical formulation of Cognitive Cultural Theory, the reasons for the universality of the war metaphor in popular discourse. The study employs the notions of conceptual metaphors, embodiment of cognition, primary metaphors, and mirror neurons as theoretical tools for the analysis.

Published: January 2024

The bioactive peptides in yogurt and flavonoids in roselle flower extract have antioxidant activity that benefits the body's health. Roselle flower extract supplementation at a 5000 mg/kg dose is known not to cause death in rats. However, the toxic dose and safety of consuming fortification of roselle and yogurt have not been studied. This study aimed to determine the effect of fortification of roselle flower extract and yogurt on liver histopathology and MDA levels in the liver of the mice. Twenty male Balb/c mice (Mus musculus) were divided into four groups: healthy and untreated (control) and groups of treatment that were given fortification of ethanolic roselle flower extract and yogurt. Each treatment group was given a single dose (1000, 1400, and 7000 mg/kg) of the extract orally and observed for any clinical signs, change of habit, and death for 14 days, and they were euthanized the day after. MDA levels were measured using the Thiobarbituric Acid-Reactive Substance (TBARS) method. Hematoxylin-Eosin staining was used for histopathology and analyzed with the Knodell scoring method. The MDA levels were analyzed using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and post-test (α=0.05). The liver degeneration and focal necrosis were analyzed statistically using the Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney post-test (α=0.05). The 1400 and 7000 mg/kg dosage elevated the liver MDA levels (p<0.05). Degeneration and focal necrosis scores in the liver due to fortification administration were escalated at all doses compared to the control group (p<0.05).

Authors: Larasati Yuniar Widya , Purwana Rachmadhi , Sodri Ahyahudin
Published: January 2024

The global movement in green building development has been going on since the early 1960s. Although initially driven by environmental agendas such as carbon and energy, there is a growing acknowledgment that green buildings can affect Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). Many researchers also state that improved indoor environmental quality is associated with better occupant satisfaction. However, some localized green buildings, especially in developing countries, often don’t recognize IEQs and occupant satisfaction as important issues, so they remain unstudied. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of IEQ and occupant satisfaction. The analytical methods used were descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The outcome demonstrated that green building standards do not automatically improve indoor environment quality, particularly when the lighting parameter is below the limit values. The analysis findings showed that most respondents expressed their satisfaction with IEQ and significantly influenced occupant satisfaction. In addition, this research contributes to the development of green building evaluation practices that prioritize environmental health and occupant satisfaction

Authors: Tamba Yusnita Renata , Rahmat Adi , Solihat Rini
Published: January 2024

The learning outcomes in the independent curriculum expect students to have skills in processing and analyzing data and information. These skills are in line with the information processing abilities developed by Marzano (1993). This research aims to determine the level of students' information processing abilities in biotechnology learning and its relationship with students' cognitive processes. The data in this research were processed using PLS-SEM (Partial Least Square–Structural Equation Model) analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, the instruments used to test information processing abilities, level 1 retrieval and level 2 comprehension cognitive systems, metacognitive systems and self-systems are valid and reliable. However, the level 3 analysis and level 4 knowledge utilization cognitive systems showed invalid and unreliable results so no further evaluation was carried out at these two levels. The results of the inner model analysis show that increasing information processing abilities have a significant and linear relationship to increasing cognitive processes. The relationship between information processing abilities and cognitive processes from the highest respectively is students' comprehension (L2), self-system (L6), metacognitive system (L5), and retrieval (L1).

Porém, devido ao desconhecimento dos profissionais quantos a recursos, dificuldades de operação, falhas de estrutura e funcionalidade da plataforma, surgem problemas relacionados à qualidade da informação, afetando a coordenação de cuidados, e, o financiamento na APS, tornando necessário, explorar as dificuldades que envolvem estes quesitos. OBJETIVO: Analisar as estratégias de uso e dificuldades de operacionalização do e-SUS APS na U-eSF. METODOLOGIA: Pesquisa aplicada de base exploratória quali-quantitativa, através de questionário on-line para posterior análise e correspondência de dados por meio de software estatístico (Excel®). O Público são os profissionais da Estratégia em Saúde da Família (eSF) no município de Petrópolis, interior da região serrana do estado do Rio de Janeiro, lotados em período superior a um ano em uso da plataforma. RESULTADOS: Foram evidenciados diversos problemas que envolvem a informatização na eSF, onde, evidências sustentam uma satisfatoriedade de uso da plataforma de 66% (N=14 pts); nas falhas de estrutura da informatização, 56% (N=12 pts); referente à qualificação em saúde digital dos profissionais, 63% (N=13 pts). CONCLUSÃO: Conforme referencial podemos evidenciar grandes dificuldades no município. Muitos dos recursos que os profissionais relatam ausentes já existem integrados, o que ressalta a falta de continuidade da capacitação mediante a constante atualização de sistema. A falha relacionada à estrutura informacional na eSF, existe, e, em grande parte, se deve pela falta de dispositivos suficientes e/ou desconhecimento de redes de suporte, como o e-SUS Território, além, da falta de conectividade e aporte do centralizador municipal, que passa a comprometer o funcionamento dos pontos de acesso simultâneos, congestionando os serviços e afetando a eSF. A Política de Apoio a Informatização da APS passa a ser uma grande aliada quando há o adequado cumprimento do número de consultas mensais, que passa a ser comprometida pelas falhas de operacionalização, afetando a qualidade de relatórios (critério para homologação).

Tecnologia da Informação (TI) é um campo que envolve o uso de hardware, software, redes e sistemas para armazenar, processar e transmitir informações. Nas empresas familiares temos vários problemas com gerações e idades trabalhando juntas, o que pode gerar muitas diferenças de pensamentos e resultados. A universalização da TI reduz essas barreiras, permitindo que as gerações se entendam e, assim, realizem trabalhos em conjunto.

The increase in toxic metal (TM) contamination in crude palm oil (CPO) due to anthropogenic activities, method of processing and handling makes it necessary to assess the contents of metals of toxicological interest to ensure safety. The contents of TMs [lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni) and arsenic (As)] were quantified in CPO samples locally produced from six selected states in Niger Delta, Nigeria using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The TM contents and dietary intakes were compared with permitted limits of international agencies such as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). The TM contents exceeded the permissible limits of JECFA with Cr in Akwa Ibom State samples (3.08 mg kg-1) being the highest. The dietary monthly intake of Cd for consumption of 25 g day-1 of CPO for adults and children were 40.36 µg kg-bw-1 month-1 (161%) and 91.6 µg kg-bw-1 month-1 (366%), respectively. The margin of exposure (MOE) values of Pb due to consumption of CPO ranged from 1.39 to 3.83 (nephrotoxic effects) and 3.32 to 9.12 (cardiotoxic effects) for adults, and 0.49 to 1.34 (neurotoxic effect), 0.61 to 1.69 (nephrotoxic effects) and 0.61 to 4.01 (cardiotoxic effects) for children. Furthermore, MOE values of inorganic arsenic (iAs) for carcinogenic effects due to consumption of CPO for adults and children ranged from 0.32 to 26.53 and 0.14 to 11.69, respectively. The results highlight the necessity to set up monitoring program for TMs in CPO to reduce exposure level.

Published: January 2024

This comprehensive review paper delves into the integration of sustainability principles within the realm of project management. The primary objective is to analyze how sustainability is being incorporated into project management practices and to identify the emerging trends and challenges in this integration. The methodology involves a systematic review of existing literature, encompassing academic journals, industry reports, and case studies, to provide a holistic view of the current state of sustainability in project management. Key findings reveal that sustainability in project management is increasingly gaining attention, driven by the growing recognition of environmental, social, and economic impacts. The study identifies three core dimensions of sustainability in project management: environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic viability. It highlights the evolving role of project managers in embedding these dimensions into project life cycles, from initiation to closure. The review also uncovers a range of tools and frameworks being employed to facilitate sustainable project management, such as life cycle assessment, stakeholder engagement strategies, and sustainability balanced scorecards. However, challenges persist, including a lack of standardized guidelines, difficulties in measuring sustainability outcomes, and resistance to change in traditional project management practices. The paper concludes that while strides have been made in integrating sustainability into project management, there is a need for more robust frameworks and educational efforts to enhance the adoption and effectiveness of sustainable practices. Future research directions are suggested, focusing on the development of standardized sustainability metrics and the exploration of the role of technology in enhancing sustainable project management practices.
