Investigation of a Notable Landslide under Complex Hydrogeological Conditions at Pak Tam Road, Sai Kung, Hong Kong
Authors: Lam Kevin Siu Pang , Tracy Michael Rudolf
Published: December 2024

On 8 June 2022, an intense rainstorm triggered multiple landslides in the northeastern area of Hong Kong. One of these landslides occurred at the registered soil and rock cut slope adjoining Pak Tam Road in the Sai Kung East Country Park with significant social consequences and widespread media attention. An investigation of this notable landslide was undertaken to study the probable causes and mechanism of the failure, as well as the hydrogeological conditions of the slope. The landslide was a large‑scale rain‑induced sliding failure caused by adversely orientated relict joints within the weathered rock profile. Coupling effects of inadequate slope maintenance, steep slope profile and tension cracks rendered the slope particularly vulnerable to landsliding under severe rainfall. Additionally, heavy seepage was observed from some weep holes within the same slope, which suggested the presence of complex hydrogeological conditions. Field mapping and site‑specific ground investigation revealed preferential flow paths along a network of soil pipes and relict joints in the groundmass that prompted the subsurface flow and the build-up of a transient perched groundwater table. The landslide highlighted the importance of proper and regular slope maintenance of slopes in Hong Kong, and the need of assessing the site holistically when modifying the site with engineering works. A robust design solution is strongly advocated for stabilising slopes.

Estuaries are among the most important interconnections between land and sea. The restricted exchange between estuaries and the open sea allows rapid changes in salinity, temperature, nutrients, and sediment load. This study focuses on spatial and temporal variation of salinity stratification of Vembanad Estuary, Kerala with reference to the seasonal variations and tidal effects. Water samples are taken from 20 locations along the Vembanad Estuary throughout the pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon seasons for the year 2022. By application of stratification parameters, salinity stratification in the water column was determined. Linear regression analysis was applied to model the relationship between the salinity and distance from the estuary mouth. Spatial variations of salinity and temperature maps were prepared using ArcGIS software. Based on the field analysis and statistical studies it was found that horizontal salinity structure of the estuary was in homogeneous, such that the southern region was less saline than the northern region. The vertical profiles of salinity at the mouth region showed stratification, with a low saline water floating on the surface and high saline water at the bottom. These variations were influenced by the intrusion of up-welled waters from the Arabian Sea and by changes in the meteorology. Comparing the spring–neap salinity variation, it has been observed that spring tide phase is more saline than neap tide.

Abstract

The sedimentology and geochemistry, supported by the published AMS radiocarbon and optical chronology of the sediment core raised from the Western Great Rann of Kachchh(WGRK), are used to reconstruct the pattern of post-glacial sedimentation. The study indicates that the hinterland fluvial system (viz. the Indus and the western Himalayan Rivers) was responsible for the sedimentation in the WGRK. The continental sediment fluxes were influenced by the post-glacial gradual strengthening of the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM). During the latter part of the mid-Holocene, continental sediment flux was reduced due to the expansion of the marine transgression which persisted, albeit with hiatuses, until around 1ka. The geochemical analysis of major, trace and Rare Earth Elements points to a mixed sediment provenance that varied over time from the post-glacial period to the late Holocene. More specifically, it has been observed that the major contribution, invaried proportions, came from the upper Indus catchment and the Western Himalayan Rivers, with subordinate input of the fluvially reworked Aeolian sands. This study thus provides insight into the sedimentological evolution of one of the least studied Quaternary land forms in Western India, which is barely above the mean sea level and currently devoid of any active fluvial system.

Some new and little known telamonioid Cortinarius species from Norway
Authors: Brandrud Tor Erik , Bendiksen Egil , Dima Bálint
Published: December 2024

Some little known telamonioid Cortinarius taxa are studied morphologically and phylogenetically, including three new species and eight new to Norway. The following new species are described; C. puellaris (Tilia-Corylus-Quercus associate), C. annae-maritae (Betula-Fagus) and C. subtilis (Tilia-Corylus-Fagus-Abies). Cortinarius puellaris is known from 12 genetically verified collections, and belongs to a complex around C. cf. cristatosporus. This is well-supported phylogenetically, but has overlapping morphological characters with sister taxa, and can be regarded as a semicryptic species. The descriptions of the two latter species are based on one collection of each. These two seem both to be rather isolated species phylogenetically and morphologically, but more material is needed to confirm their degree of morphological differentiation. Cortinarius subtilis is known from various parts of Europe, from sequences based on mycorrhizae samples, but is known with basidiocarps only from the type collection from SE Norway. More than 70 telamonioid species are found new to Norway the last five years. Of these, the following species are treated here: C. conterminus, C. fuscescens, C. fuscoumbrinus, C. impennoides, C. microglobisporus, C. niveotraganus, C. pseudofallax and C. salicticolus.
Callistosporium Singer, en ny slekt av små hattesopper i Norge
Authors: Gulden Gro , Fonneland Inger-Lise
Published: December 2024

Et funn fra Telemark i 2014 av den lille hattsoppen Callistosporium pinicola er omtalt og likeledes slekten som ikke var kjent i Norge tidligere. Callistosporium-artene er mer eller mindre olivenbrune med gule skiver, og er kjent for å inneholde et gult krystallinsk pigment i sporene. Slekten tilhører familien Tricholomataceae og arten C. pinicola skiller seg fra nærstående arter ved å ha svært små sporer. Pigmentet både i sporene og i fruktlegemene mørkner etter hvert, og alle deler farges purpur i basiske løsninger. Alt tyder på at fargene og fargeforandringene hos artene i slekten skyldes ustabile, dimere antrakinonpigmenter og oksydasjon av disse. At sporepulveret er hvitt, og uforanderlig hvitt, til tross for at pigment kan ses i sporer i mikroskopipreparater fra tørkete fruktlegemer, antar vi er et resultat av sporemodningen; en tykkere sporevegg kan skjule et relativt svakt farget innhold og sporene vil derved fremstå som fargeløse og danne et hvitt sporepulver. En fortykket eller på annet vis endret sporevegg kan også forklare hvorfor basiske løsninger som ble tilført et sporepulver ikke forårsaket purpur misfarging slik som ellers ses i sporer fra skivepreparater.
Chess and the Cultivation of Attention
Authors: Lukman Christopher
Published: December 2024

Games as media cultivate attention by demanding us to think, perceive, and feel according to them. In my phenomenological approach inspired by Merleau-Ponty, attention consists of two intertwined acts, intuitive perception and more rational acts of deliberation. Chess serves as a good case study because it tasks its players to become familiar with an insurmountable magnitude of complexity. Chess players learn how to become attentive by training their perceptual and rational capacities so that they understand the problems of a position intuitively, as a state of positional imbalance created through the uneven distribution of pieces on the board. Following the Latin etymology of the word ‘medium’ as ‘in-between’ phenomenon, I assert that games, as processes of play, exist in the very intermediary relation between players and playthings, expressed by this field of strengths and weaknesses, and thus come to shape the thinking, perceiving, and feeling of the player.

O tomateiro possui grande importância econômica, sendo uma cultura de alta produtividade e valor agregado, apesar de suas vantagens, em decorrência do elevado desenvolvimento vegetativo e alta suscetibilidade a pragas e doenças, a cultura possui intensa necessidade de tratos culturais. Dentre as dificuldades de manejo se destacam a necessidade frequente de desbrotas, o grande porte da planta e a elevada demanda de defensivos. O fitorregulador Paclobutrazol (PBZ) tem ação na diminuição do desenvolvimento vegetativo, resultando na redução da necessidade de tratos culturais, auxiliando o manejo, e uma menor demanda de fungicidas após a desbrota do tomateiro. No presente experimento, buscou-se analisar as características vegetativas e reprodutivas do tomateiro sob diferentes doses de Paclobutrazol, em ambiente protegido, no sistema de tomate tutorado na região da Nova Alta Paulista. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com 5 tratamentos e 6 repetições, totalizando 30 parcelas com 5 plantas/parcelas. Os tratamentos foram (em mg L-1 de ingrediente ativo por muda): 0; 37,5; 75; 112,5; 150 mg L-1 . O paclobutrazol foi pulverizado, 15 dias após o semeio. O uso de PBZ demonstrou ser eficaz para reduzir o porte dos cultivares, não reduzir o comprimento das brotações laterais, adiantar e escalonar a colheita e manter a produtividade. O uso do fitorregulador foi eficiente para reduzir a necessidade de desbrota e de defensivos, as melhores características agronômicas foram observadas na dosagem de 37,5 mg L-1.

This research aimed to analyze the applicability of assistive technologies in the inclusion of autistic students in schools, investigating how these tools contribute to the improvement of educational quality and the effective participation of these students in school activities. The methodology used was qualitative and exploratory, with a sample composed of 18 education professionals selected by convenience. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, and data analysis was done using the discourse analysis technique. The results indicated that assistive technologies, especially Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) devices and activity organization tools, have a positive impact on communication, anxiety reduction, and the development of social skills in autistic students. However, challenges were also identified related to the training of educators, school infrastructure, and the resistance of some families to the use of these technologies. The conclusion pointed out that, although assistive technologies are effective tools, their successful implementation depends on the proper training of professionals, collaboration between school, family and specialists, and the improvement of infrastructure conditions in schools, to ensure full and effective inclusion of autistic students.

A Study on Occupational Health and Safety in the Agricultural Sector in Türkiye: Analysis of Work Accidents, Occupational Diseases, and Lost Workdays
Authors: Özdemir Mustafa
Published: December 2024

The agricultural sector holds strategic economic importance due to its roles in food production, employment, and providing raw materials to industry. Türkiye is a significant agricultural country with its biological diversity, favourable climate conditions, and agriculture-based sector. According to the labor force statistics of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK), as of 2023, approximately 4.7 million people are employed in the agricultural sector in Türkiye, with the majority being seasonal workers. The farm sector includes field farming, livestock, fisheries, and forestry. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is vital for the sustainability of the agricultural sector. The Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331, which came into force in 2012, has mandated OHS provisions for all enterprises and employees in the agricultural sector. This study examines the statistics on work accidents, occupational diseases, and lost workdays in Türkiye's plant and animal production sector between 2018 and 2022 and evaluates the current state of OHS practices. Based on data from the Social Security Institution (SGK), the analysis reveals that 13,993 work accidents and 96 fatal work accidents occurred in the plant and animal production sector between 2018 and 2022, with the highest frequency of work accidents recorded in 2022. Additionally, 13 cases of occupational diseases were reported during the same period. An examination of temporary incapacity durations shows 133,008 days of incapacity reports, with the highest number occurring in 2021, influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study's findings indicate that OHS practices in the agricultural sector are inadequate and need improvement. In light of these findings, various policy recommendations have been developed, such as the widespread implementation of OHS training, increased health screenings, and stricter OHS inspections.
Effect of Calcium Nitrate Applications on Plant Development and Some Physiological Characteristics of Sunflower Seedlings Grown Under Drought Conditions
Authors: Gül Zeynep
Published: December 2024

Drought stress is one of the abiotic stresses that negatively affects plant growth, development and product yield. In recent years, nutrient solution applications to leaves have been frequently used to reduce the negative effects of drought stress. This study was conducted in 2024 at the Atatürk University, Plant Production Application and Research Center to determine the effect of calcium nitrate applications during the seedling period on the growth and some physiological characteristics of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) grown under drought stress. The study was based on two-factor completely randomized experimental design with three irrigation levels [full irrigation (100% (I0), 70% (I1) and 40% (I2) of field capacity), two Ca(NO3)2 concentrations (15 mM and 30 mM)]. The study was carried out as a pot trial based on this experimental design. At the end of the trial period, plant growth parameters and some physiological measurements and analyzes were performed on sunflower plants and the differences between the treatments were evaluated. According to the research findings, significant differences were observed between the different treatments and irrigation levels. The application of Ca(NO3)2 significantly influenced plant growth parameters (such as plant height, stem diameter, fresh and dry weight) and physiological parameters [such as tissue relative water content (RWC)] in sunflower grown under varying irrigation levels. At the end of the study, it was determined that dry conditions negatively affected plant growth in sunflowers and reduced the RWC value. In conclusion; calcium nitrate applications reduced this negative effect of drought compared to the control application. It can be said that especially the results obtained from the application of 15 Mm CaN at 70% (I1) irrigation level are relatively less affected by drought.

Authors: Altuntaş Yasin , Elkoca Erdal , Kodaz Selçuk
Published: December 2024

In this study, conducted in pots under outdoor conditions, the aim was to determine the symbiotic performance of 10 registered chickpea cultivars (Akça, Aksu, Arda, Aslanbey, Bayram, Botan, Cevdetbey, Göktürk, Ilgaz and Yazıcı) inoculated with Mesorhizobium ciceri. Inoculation significantly increased the average nodule fresh weights, nodule dry weights, shoot height, shoot fresh weights, shoot dry weights, root fresh weights, root dry weights, chlorophyll content, N% and total N compared to the un-inoculated control. The shoot fresh weight, N% and total N significantly correlated with nodule weight. Additionally, chlorophyll content is highly correlated with N%. The magnitude of response to inoculation differed significantly among cultivars, except shoot height and root fresh weight. The amount of fixed N per plant by the cultivars varied significantly between 0 (Ilgaz) and 23.5 mg (Akça). Akça, Arda, Aslanbey, Cevdetbey, Göktürk and Yazıcı were the most compatible cultivars based on the amount of fixed N. These results show that inoculation efficiency and nitrogen fixation in chickpea can be increased by selecting compatible cultivars.

This systematic study explored the process of formulation, preparation and application of natural pesticide molecules in Indian agriculture with a focus on leveraging such pest management strategies instead of synthetic pesticides as cleaner alternatives. Natural pesticides developed from herbs and essential oils have been considered as environmentally safe options with target specificity due to increasing awareness about environmental health and insect resistance. It presents a review of classical and recent developments in formulation methods, their production techniques and regulatory system followed for natural pesticides along with an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of these pesticides in Indian agriculture. The review addresses some of the practical challenges, like scalabilty, economic feasibility and effectiveness across a range of irrigated crops and pest species. The small proportion of studies that evaluated natural pesticides mainly identified them as contributing towards sustainability, but there is little information on their effectiveness or cost–benefit potential compared to synthetic pesticides, highlighting the need for further research. Investing in more rapid need-based optimizations of formulation steps, enhancing access to market and other policies enabling natural pesticide promotion at work will soon be looked into place natural pesticides in Indian cropping systems.

The evolution of Fintech services and the adoption of new emerging technology is seen in today’s world. Very few researchers have studied the factors that affect the adoption of Fintech services and how human behavior varies as technology changes. Apart from this, the advancement in mobile phones and the increase in their usage of them have increased the demand for online financial services. In this paper, we have considered and studied factors that have an impact on the adoption of Fintech services. We have studied perceived ease of use, innovation, trust, and government support. Through SPSS, we have concluded that each of these factors positively impacts the adoption of Fintech services. Our model is based on TAM (technology acceptance model) and was adopted from our base article. The findings of this research can be used to make improvements in the existing Fintech services and also in the development of new services.
THE IMPACT OF UNEMPLOYMENT ON THE MORALE OF YOUTH (A STUDY OF NEWLY GRADUATE STUDENTS)
Authors: Nadeem Hadia
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study was to understand the psychological effects of unemployment on school leavers using a panel study. Questionnaires, including mood questions and scales measuring self-esteem, locus of control, and depressive affect, were administered twice to 104 students, first while they were still in school and then again one year later. Comparisons between the unemployed and employed groups showed that the unemployed were generally less well-adjusted than their employed counterparts. Specifically, they reported more negative moods and higher depression scores, and unemployed girls also displayed lower self-esteem. However, these differences mainly resulted from an improvement in outlook among the employed rather than from the unemployed becoming more depressed and losing self-esteem. This study used approaches from approximation study to better understand the complex concepts, mental breakdowns, and behavioral changes that these graduates experience when faced with unemployment. It examines how workplace stress and unfulfilled expectations affect people's identity, sense of purpose, and overall morale. The purpose of this study is to offer various perspectives and insights into this issue through the use of psychological testing, interviews, and autobiographies. The findings may impact career counselors, policymakers, and educational institutions. The research results could be used to develop support and treatment programs that reduce youth unemployment and ease the transition from education to the workforce. Ultimately, by emphasizing the connection between work and action, this study contributes to the discussion on the public and mental development of youth.
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF OVERTIME CHANGES IN INSTITUTIONAL AND NON-INSTITUTIONAL CREDIT OF AGRICULTURAL FARM IN BALOCHISTAN, PAKISTAN
Authors: Abro Nosheen Abdul Raheem , Ahmed Nazir , Gaho Ghulam Mustafa
Published: December 2024

Increasing agricultural productivity and income for rural households in Pakistan's Balochistan province has depended mainly on the farming industry. The need for agricultural finance has grown because of several issues in this industry, such as escalating costs of critical farm inputs, water scarcity, and subpar irrigation systems. This research sought to investigate both available and unavailable credit trends, the size of loans made to households, the quantity of land used for agriculture, and the percentage of farm households in debt for the 1960, 1972, 1980, and 1990 census years. The study aimed to investigate the different kinds, sources, and significance of agricultural loans in Balochistan. The study's findings showed that loan availability and the growth of agricultural output nationwide and in the province of Balochistan are positively correlated. The study's findings also indicated that the province of Balochistan first reported institutional and non-institutional credit availability in 1980. For small and medium farms, the percentage of institutional credit is lower than that of non-institutional credit; however, for large farms, the institutional credit is significantly higher than that of non-institutional credit in both census years.
NAVIGATING STABILITY: EXPLORING KEY FACTORS INFLUENCING ISLAMIC BANKS AND CONVENTIONAL BANKS IN PAKISTAN
Authors: Razakh Khawja Masood , Uddin Imam , Perveen Abida
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the factors that influence Pakistani banks' stability, with a focus on Islamic Banks (IBs), through regression analysis. Drawing on a dataset spanning from 2007 to 2021, the study explores key factors influencing the financial health of banks, particularly through the lens of the Z-score, a popular indicator of stability. The analysis reveals several significant findings. Firstly, the created regression models have a high degree of explanatory power; their R-squared values of 0.721 and 0.556, respectively, show that the included variables account for more than 70% and 55% of the Z-score’s variance. Secondly, individual variable analysis highlights important relationships. Notably, increasing cost-income ratio, GDP growth rate, and loan assets ratio are associated with lower Z-scores, suggesting potential risks to financial health. Conversely, higher inflation and HHI deposit concentration are linked to higher Z- scores, indicating potential benefits for IBs under such conditions. The implications of these findings are substantial. Maintaining operational efficiency, managing complexity effectively (especially for larger banks), and understanding the positive impact of inflation on Z-scores are identified as critical factors for achieving better financial stability. Regulatory policies should consider these factors to promote and maintain a stable Islamic banking sector in Pakistan. However, the study acknowledges certain limitations. It suggests further exploration of interactive effects and alternative measures of bank stability for a more comprehensive understanding. Future research could delve deeper into the mechanisms explaining the observed relationships, providing valuable insights for strategic decision-making and regulatory frameworks. This paper offers evidence-based insights into the factors influencing bank stability in Pakistan, particularly for IBs. Understanding these factors can inform strategic decision-making for individual banks and regulatory policies, ensuring a healthy and robust Islamic banking sector in the country.
WHAT FIRM'S CHARACTERISTICS DRIVE THE DIVIDEND POLICY? A META-ANALYSIS REVIEW

Published: December 2024

This study aggregates the mixed empirical evidence on the five most commonly investigated determinants of firm dividend policy. Using meta-analysis on a dataset of 45 reported results from 80 manually collected primary studies, this research integrates findings to assess the overall impact and variations among the results of these determinants. The analysis includes a forest plot of the mean and correlation coefficients, offering a methodological edge over other review approaches. The findings align with the bird-in-hand theory, particularly regarding investment opportunities and tax implications. Mature firms demonstrate a preference for stable dividend policies, influenced significantly by their size and Profitability. Examination of publication bias through funnel plots reveals symmetrical distributions for dividend distribution tax and Profitability, enhancing the reliability of the conclusions. However, evidence of publication selection bias indicates that authors favor statistically significant results that align with existing theories or empirical findings. Previous studies have shown that dividend policy is affected by firm-specific characteristics, but there remains a need to validate these findings in diverse contexts to enhance their generalizability. This study addresses this issue by examining novel firm characteristics using meta-analysis, providing updated evidence to support the robustness of existing findings.
