Hydrochemical, Isotopic, and Geophysical Studies Applied to the Evaluation of Groundwater Salinization Processes in Quaternary Beach Ridges in a Semiarid Coastal Area of Northern Patagonia, Argentina
Authors: Carol Eleonora , Perdomo Santiago , Álvarez María del Pilar , Tanjal Carolina , Bouza Pablo
Published: December 2021

Quaternary sea level fluctuations have led to the development of beach ridges on many South Atlantic coasts. The objective of this paper was to asses from lithological, hydrochemical, isotopic, and geophysical studies the salinization processes affecting groundwater stored in Pleistocene and Holocene beach ridges of the northern Patagonian coast. A hydrogeomorphological characterization of the area was performed using digital elevation models, the interpretation of satellite images, and field studies. Vertical electrical soundings were performed on transects running perpendicular to beach ridges in order to define variations in the freshwater-saltwater interface position. The salinity, chemistry, and stable isotopes of the groundwater were analyzed. The results demonstrated that the groundwater salinization of Pleistocene ridges responds to processes associated with the geological-geomorphological evolution of the area. The cementation of these surface sediments limits rainwater infiltration, which consequently prevents the development of freshwater lenses. This suggests that saline water is the result of ancient marine ingressions. Freshwater lenses develop in Holocene beach ridges; however, slight water salinization is detectable in the most populated areas as a result of intensive exploitation. The data provided are useful for freshwater resource prospection along the arid coast of Patagonia, where beach ridge deposits abound and populations experience serious drinking water supply problems.

Published: December 2021

Water resource scarcity is an important factor restricting the sustainable development of agriculture in Northwest China. Regulated deficit irrigation can conserve water while maintaining high crop yields. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of regulated deficit irrigation on the photosynthetic characteristics, yield, and water use efficiency of woad (Isatis indigotica) under mulched drip irrigation from 2017 to 2019 in a cold and arid area of the Hexi Oasis irrigation region, China. Sufficient water was supplied during the seedling stage. The control consisted of adequate water supplied during the other growth stages, whereas mild, moderate, and severe water deficits were imposed during the vegetative growth period, and a mild and moderate water deficit was imposed during the fleshy root growth stage. A mild water deficit was imposed during the fleshy root maturity period. The results showed that the net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance under moderate and severe water deficit were significantly (p < 0.05) decreased compared with the control, respectively, during the vegetative growth period. The economic yield of mild water deficit during the vegetative growth and mild water deficit during the vegetative growth and fleshy root growth did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) from that of the control. Other treatments caused a 6.74–17.74% reduction in the economic yield of woad. The water use efficiency and irrigation water use efficiency were the highest in the mild water deficit during the vegetative growth period and the fleshy root growth period. Therefore, the application of a continuous mild deficit from the vegetative growth stage to the fleshy root growth stage with sufficient water supplied during other growth periods is recommended as the optimal irrigation regime for maximum yield, water use efficiency, and water-saving of woad.

Published: December 2021

Purpose: Rubber band ligation (RBL) for grade 1 to 3 internal hemorrhoids is a well-established modality of choice. But RBL is also a kind of surgical treatment; it is not free from complications (e.g., delayed bleeding [DB], rectal stenosis). This study aimed to investigate the results of the comparative treatment of RBL and BANANA-Clip (BC; Endovision).Methods: Study participants were 632 consecutive patients with grade 1 to 3 internal hemorrhoids attended to Department of Colorectal Surgery at Wellness Hospital between January 2010 and May 2019. We retrospectively reviewed the incidence rate of complications, including DB between RBL and BC.Results: There were 304 male and 328 female patients, whose ages ranged from 15 to 84 years, with a mean age of 45.7 years. The common symptom and cause of treatment was prolapse (70.1%). The number of ligated sites was 1.49±0.57 in the RBL group and 1.99±0.77 in the BC group. RBL showed a significantly higher incidence of DB (3.5%) compared to BC (0%) (P=0.001). The 1-year success rate was 95.9% in the RBL group and 99.7% in the BC group (P=0.005).Conclusion: In our study, BC was more reliable in treating grade 1 to 3 internal hemorrhoids with higher success rates and less post-ligation complications, especially DB, compared to RBL.

Published: December 2021

Key Points

Coronary artery disease testing before kidney transplant has remained constant since the mid-2000s, despite a shift away from preoperative testing.

Overall post-transplant death and myocardial infarction rates have fallen steadily from 2000 to 2015.

Background

Coronary artery disease (CAD) screening in asymptomatic kidney transplant candidates is widespread but not well supported by contemporary cardiology literature. In this study we describe temporal trends in CAD screening before kidney transplant in the United States.

Methods

Using the United States Renal Data System, we examined Medicare-insured adults who received a first kidney transplant from 2000 through 2015. We stratified analysis on the basis of whether the patient’s comorbidity burden met guideline definitions of high risk for CAD. We examined temporal trends in nonurgent CAD tests within the year before transplant and the composite of death and nonfatal myocardial infarction in the 30 days after transplant.

Results

Of 94,832 kidney transplant recipients, 37,139 (39%) underwent at least one nonurgent CAD test in the 1 year before transplant. From 2000 to 2015, the transplant program waitlist volume had increased as transplant volume stayed constant, whereas patients in the later eras had a slightly higher comorbidity burden (older, longer dialysis vintage, and a higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus and CAD). The likelihood of CAD test in the year before transplant increased from 2000 through 2003 and remained relatively stable thereafter. When stratified by CAD risk status, test rates decreased modestly in patients who were high risk but remained constant in patients who were low risk after 2008. Death or nonfatal myocardial infarction within 30 days after transplant decreased from 3% in 2000 to 2% in 2015. Nuclear perfusion scan was the most frequent modality of testing throughout the examined time periods.

Conclusions

CAD testing rates before kidney transplantation have remained constant from 2000 through 2015, despite widespread changes in cardiology guidelines and practice.

Determination of Heavy Metal Pollution in River of Artvin, Rize and Trabzon Provinces
Authors: BAYTAŞOĞLU Hazel
Published: December 2021

The aim of this study is to evaluate the stations selected from the provinces in the Eastern Black Sea region (Artvin, Rize, Trabzon) in terms of some physicochemical parameters and heavy metals. A total of 27 stations were selected from these rivers and their tributaries feeding the Black Sea, and sampling was carried out in 2019-2020 depending on the land conditions. Temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, electrical conductivity, and total dissolved solids parameters were measured with a HQ 40 D brand water measuring device. For heavy metal analysis, services were purchased from the Sinop University Central Research Laboratory. As a result of the analyzes made, it was determined that all stations had a very high concentration in terms of Al and some stations in terms of Cd. It was observed that almost all of the stations showed high quality water characteristics in terms of Mn, Zn, Pb, Ni, Fe, Cu. It has been determined that physicochemical parameters vary depending on factors such as seasonal temperatures, land structure, slope, precipitation rate, and parameters, except pH show 1st class water characteristics according to the limits determined in the legislation.
States of education, funding, and democracy in Nigeria
Authors: Ogunbayo Shakirat Bola
Published: December 2021

The restoration of democracy in Nigeria, particularly after decades of military dictatorship that began in 1966, has impacted the country’s general growth, including the education system. However, it has grown more difficult to achieve democratic success because various societal qualities are required, particularly in educational development and funding. Citizens can only acquire these qualities through literacy if the country’s education sector is democratized and adequately funded. One of the most significant obstacles to achieving this goal is a lack of financing, a persistent problem in Nigeria, particularly under this democratic government. As a result, there is an increasing number of private educational institutions, and government authorities in charge of education cannot effectively monitor and manage their establishment. However, due to the country’s democratic structure, care must be taken to guarantee that quality is not compromised. Overall, because of its impact on individual and national development, making quality education accessible to all Nigerians should be one of the government’s top priorities. This study aims to examine the current situation of education, funding, and democracy in Nigeria. This is done to better grasp the Nigerian educational system and its finance during the country’s democratic era.

Con el siguiente artículo esperamos demostrar la necesidad de estudiar la enunciación para aprehender lo risible en las redes sociales mediáticas. En los estudios sobre el tema, se ha expandido la práctica de realizar análisis internos de memes y videos cómicos suponiendo que así se explica cómo producen lo reidero. Sin embargo, con este tipo de análisis no se alcanza ese objetivo porque lo risible se instituye en lo enunciativo, por lo que es necesario estudiar los memes y videos emplazados en las cuentas que los publicaron. Para probar esto, abordaremos lo reidero desde una perspectiva comunicacional y semiótica construyendo herramientas que sirvan para su estudio. Luego presentaremos un modelo analítico que dé cuenta de la enunciación en las redes sociales y, finalmente, analizaremos algunos productos risibles con el fin de verificar nuestros postulados.
Cultural Warrant and Hospitality in Animation Film Abstracting
Authors: Sundström Admeire
Published: December 2021

In the Brazilian context, we lack a methodology for abstracting audiovisual documents. To address this, several authors have proposed different approaches. As an additional contribution, this research proposes cultural warrant and hospitality as a principle that could be considered during the abstracting of animation. Domain analysis was used as a method, and from the analyzed animation institutions we identified the discursive community and the institutional proposals. From the literature reviewed, the existing approach for abstracting was identified and named here as the document dimension. As a result, we concluded that the principle of cultural warrant and hospitality needs more theoretical discussion; however, it was also possible to apply it beyond the classification system. We also concluded that this principle could help to identify what attributes from animation film should be ensured during the abstracting, since this process should include elements based on the community needs and not only document attributes.
The Politics of the Two Qiblahs and the Emergence of an Alternative Islamic Monotheism
Authors: Hamid Eltigani Abdelgadir
Published: December 2021

Changing the prayer direction from Makkah to Jerusalem and then back to Makkah was probably one of the first Muslim community’s most contentious incidents. Due to its being highlighted in Q. 2:142-44, it has aroused an unending debate among Muslim exegetes, jurists, and western historians as to why the qiblah was changed. Was it based on a divine command or Muhammad’s independent judgment, a move to dilute the Arabs’ emotional attachment to the Ka‘bah, or a move to win over Madinah’s Jewish community? Might it have been a throwback to the Abrahamic heritage, envisaged by the Prophet as a base for a wider, monolithic Islamic nationalism? This article seeks to closely examine and clarify the “qiblah literature” in an attempt to reveal the Ka‘bah’s role not only as a geographical locale but also as a spiritual magnet, and to find out whether this incident represented a break or a continuation of an earlier strategy of socio-religious change.
Female Preachers and the Public Discourse on Islam in Malaysia
Authors: Ismail Norbani B.
Published: December 2021

This paper explores Malaysia’s activist female preachers (pendakwah) by highlighting the religious authority and leadership in preaching that they have attained due to their firm grounding in Islam’s fundamental sources and Arabic. I analyze their recorded online lectures, radio talks, and interviews to identify their common preaching styles and highlighted themes. The study finds that their highest objective is to help create a sound moral and ethical society via the fulfillment of moral and religious obligations. To that end, they deal primarily with spiritual development and family management issues, as well as draw spiritual and religious conclusions from important historical events. The paper concludes that they keep their activism within the confines of expected social norms and the bureaucracy of religious authority. By adhering to social and religious orthodoxy, they continue to gain authority and trust from both the established religious authorities and the public.

This paper examines the maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah discourse with special reference to the contribution of Muhammad Nejatullah Siddiqi (b.1931), India’s renowned Islamic economist and scholar. It describes and analyzes his approach and methodology in debating, discussing, and addressing this discourse, especially its applications and understanding as well as its position and perspective vis-à-vis the contemporary issues facing the global Muslim community. The primary focus is his stance on the modern-day concerns related to and discussed within the paradigm of the maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah discourse (e.g., ijtihād’s importance and scope, Muslim minorities, and issues ranging from globalization to weapons of mass destruction) within the context of Urdu literature.
Black Muslimness Mobilized
Authors: Carter Youssef J.
Published: December 2021

West African and American-born Muslims in the Mustafawi Tariqahave been impacted by a Senegalese Islamic pedagogical tradition,which places emphasis on the role of the body as a medium for religiousand spiritual training. My research examines the tremendouslabor required to produce Muslimness as an embodied reality andcritical resource initially in two key sites of pilgrimage—MoncksCorner, South Carolina and Thiès, Senegal—by demonstrating theimportant role these sister cities play in a transatlantic Sufi network.I suggest that there exists a continuity seen in the interactionsof West African Muslims and African-American Muslims—asolidarity emboldened through the sufi practices out of which abroader politics of “Black Muslimness” endure. African-Americanand Senegalese members of the Mustafawi Tariqa identify withina broader category of ‘Black Muslim’ in the mobilization of bodiesoriented toward these two sites of pilgrimage. As my extensiveresearch reveals, Moncks Corner is the central site in which accessto the Sufi order’s most charismatic living shaykh, Shaykh AronaFaye, has worked for the past two decades teaching and mentoringhis students on their spiritual journeys. On the other hand, Thiès isthe location where the order’s founder is buried and travelers visitthe town in order to pay homage to his memory. The processes of diasporic identification seen in both sites, I argue, are groundedin both physical mobility and the particular spiritual pedagogy ofthe Mustafawi. In order to further elaborate how local and internationalsolidarities are framed from within the concept of diaspora,I unpack the manner in which religious genealogies, discourses ofancestry, and the transmission of esoteric knowledge reinforce suchaffinities.O Allah, send blessings upon our master Muhammad, the one who precedesall others, the one whose brilliant lights radiate and fill the heavens.May Allah bless him and his family and companions in the amount ofevery grain of sand and every star in the sky.

Different colloidal particle formation process between conjugated polymer and unmodified C60 in preparation of suspension for electrophoretic deposition by reprecipitation method
Authors: Tada Kazuya , Fujimoto Daiya
Published: December 2021

Electrophoretic deposition provides material-efficient film formation on large area electrodes. In this study, it has been found that there is a significant difference in the colloidal particle formation process between a thiophene-based copolymer poly(3-octylthiophene- 2,5-diyl-co-3-decyloxythiophene-2,5-diyl) (POT-co-DOT) and C60 in preparation of suspension for electrophoretic deposition by reprecipitation method. This difference is attributed to the difference between low molecular weight materials with specific molecular weight and polymers with molecular weight distribution. The composition of POT-co-DOT:C60 composite film by electrophoretic deposition has also been estimated.

A Rhetorical Model of Debating
Authors: Llano Stephen M.
Published: December 2021

A rhetorical model of the debate centered on the image of a labyrinth is more suitable than the metaphor of debate-as-game in describing the benefits of arguing in front of an audience. The labyrinth best expresses that proceeding by successive choices, coming and going, and sometimes retracing one's steps, typical of the debate activity. The basic thesis is that arguing is a continuous adaptation of one's speeches according to the audience that listens. In fact, in the labyrinth, what matters is not only arriving at the outcome - the exit or reaching the center of the structure - but the path you choose to get there is equally important. More than the definitive and winning argument, which rarely occurs in discussions, the labyrinth teaches us to recognise the plurality of approaches adopted when faced with an issue.

Maritime sovereignty is an integral part of the Indonesia�s foreign policy, historically in the era of Nusantara, many competitions to conquer maritime territory was even tangible from the era of Majapahit and Sriwijaya kingdom during their ruling. With the notion of Indonesia as the world�s maritime axis, Indonesia�s diplomacy is defined clearly by the manifestation of efforts either in bilateral, regional, and multilateral. This article discussed on how Indonesia�s diplomacy through IORA cooperation is done to overcome the issue of IUU fishing during the presidency of Joko Widodo from 2015 until 2020. Indonesia�s IORA Chairmanship from 2015-2017 has rejuvenate Jakarta�s maritime diplomacy. Indonesia�s diplomacy depicted that Indonesia is beyond thatn norm-setting but also to the level where Indonesia assert their identity as a sovereign maritime axis amid the challenges and modernization that made non-traditional security as one of the core of contemporary diplomacy.

Published: December 2021

For Being a developing country urbanization is growing rapidly in Bangladesh and there has been a significant increase in the construction of roads. But due to lack of financial aid many of the roads are still unsealed. However, not only the utilization of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) in flexible pavement will be helpful for the reduction of road construction costs but also it will help to reduce environmental pollution which may be caused by disposing CDW in open area. The objective of this research is to utilize the CDW in base and sub base layers in the flexible pavement design to reduce the cost of road construction and environmental pollution. Proceeding by collecting CDW like brick from demolished building and conventional brick from kiln, a no of standard test conducted in laboratory namely Aggregate Impact Value, Crushing Value, Specific Gravity, Water Absorption and Loss Angeles Abrasion Test for three times. After analyzing the test results, we found that the average Aggregate Impact Value for CDW and Conventional Aggregate (CA) are respectively 29.52% and 23.87%, Aggregate Crushing value for CDW and CA are respectively 28.10% and 22.88%, Los Angeles Abrasion value for CDW and CA are respectively 31.47% and 28.52%, specific gravity value for CDW and CA both is 1.75, water absorption for CDW and CA are respectively 7.62% and 12.23%. After analyzing the test results and comparing with the standard value, we figure out that the CDW are useful for using base and sub base layers in the flexible pavement.

Crime is all kinds of actions and actions that are economically and psychologically harmful that violate the laws in force in the State of Indonesia as well as social and religious norms. Ordinary criminal acts affect the security of the community and threaten their inner and outer peace. The research location is the Mentawai Islands Police, which is an agency that can provide security and protection for the community, especially those in the Mentawai Islands Regency. The problem is that it is difficult for the Mentawai Islands Police to classify areas that are prone to crime in the most vulnerable, moderately vulnerable and not vulnerable categories. Especially considering the condition of the Mentawai, there are four large islands consisting of 10 sub-districts, where crime is increasing every year, especially those in the Mentawai Islands Regency area such as motor vehicle theft. Based on the background of the problem above, the researcher is interested in taking research in creating a system to predict the crime rate in the Mentawai Islands Regency in order to anticipate the surge in crime that will come. The method used is the K-Means Clustering Algorithm as a non-hierarchical data clustering method to partition existing data into one or more clusters or groups. This method partitions data into clusters so that data with the same characteristics are grouped into the same cluster and data with different characteristics are grouped into other clusters. Clustering is one of the data mining techniques used to get groups of objects that have common characteristics in large enough data. The data used is data on cases of criminal theft of motor vehicles for the last 5 years from 2016 to 2020. The results of the test show that South Sipora District is an area prone to the crime of motor vehicle theft.
