Published: December 2022

Composites are a popular choice in the current industrial scenario for a number of reasons and their extensive use poses serious environmental issues. This prompts us to explore the possibilities of completely natural composites that can strike a balance between performance and ease of disposal. In this regard, a novel “Green” composite material constituting Chitosan as a natural matrix material in conjunction with other natural reinforcements (Coir) is explored. Preliminary experimentation on composite fabrication was carried out to obtain laminated coupons. Physical characteristics such as density and finish quality were analyzed and used to optimise process parameters. Test coupons were prepared and evaluated for tensile properties. Further various food packages were produced and tested for their feasibility. This article presents an early investigation into the viability and effectiveness of chitosan as a natural matrix for the production of entirely natural composites and their appropriateness in packaging applications.

Published: December 2022

Diffusion bonding is a joining process that relies on the inter-diffusion of atoms across the interface as the primary mechanism. Diffusion bonding techniques such as solid state and transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding are currently performed in a vacuum, which is a time-consuming, costly method and also limits the size of the components that can be bonded adequately. The present study aims at achieving the diffusion bonded joints of AA2014 under the bonding temperatures of 440, 460, and 480 0C. Microstructural evaluation is carried out using light optical microscopy (LOM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) is used for elemental analysis on the interface of the bonded specimens. Hardness at the interface is evaluated using the Vickers Microhardness test.

Authors: Latha H.K.E , S Mala , Udayakumar A.
Published: December 2022

Electrical resistance-strain behaviour of nitrogen doped 3C-SiC thin films was investigated to determine whether they could be used as strain gauges. Using a hot wall vertical low pressure chemical vapour deposition (LPCVD) reactor, these films were deposited on thermally oxidised Si (100) and alumina substrates at 2.5 mbar pressure and 1040°C temperature from methyltrichlorosilane (MTS) precursor. The nitrogen doping gas utilised was ammonia (NH3). Using four-point bending method, the gauge factor (GF) was determined for all thin films (0, 9, 17, and 30 atomic % nitrogen doped). Systematic annealing of films in a vacuum atmosphere was used to determine the TCR of nitrogen doped 3C-SiC (111). Film sheet resistance was evaluated using a four-probe approach, and it was observed to decrease as the temperature rises from 40 to 550°C. The resistivity, average TCR, and strain sensitivity of film doped with 17 atomic % nitrogen concentration were 0.14 cm, -103 ppm/°C, and -9.6, respectively, indicating that it can be employed as a strain gauge material in high temperature applications. However, film doped with 30 atomic % of nitrogen concentration showed an increase in the resistivity, TCR and strain sensitivity.

Published: December 2022

Energy consumption and dependence on non-renewable resources is increasing over the years. The combustion of fossil fuels resulting in the emission of substantial amounts of CO2, NOX, SOX and some greenhouse gases. Biofuels are evolving as the primary alternatives to fossil fuels since they can be readily synthesised from discarded bioresources and yield lesser emission during the combustion process. However, the extraction of biofuels has thrown up new challenges that have widened the scope of the use of nano-particles in the synthesis of biofuels. From the literature, distinct findings concerning the use of nano-particles as a catalyst and process reactant during biodiesel production have been identified; this is majorly attributed to the fact that nano-catalysts enhance thermophysical properties, reaction speed and mass transport properties. Henceforth, the present paper aims to review, summarise and provide an insight into the research findings of effectively using nanocatalysts in biofuel production and consider the significance and its relevance for further researchers in the domain of biofuels.

Published: December 2022

The course of contact mix welding is quick acquiring conspicuousness in aviation, marine and car industry because of its benefits as far as mechanical strength, effect and hardness characteristics. There is as yet a requirement for sure fire consideration from the exploration local area to erosion in grating mix welding zones, hence the work introduced here centres around the consumption portrayal of the grinding mix weld divergent aluminium composite. This study looks into friction stir welding under various parametric settings and shows how corrosion happens in a sodium chloride electrolytic media under potentio-dynamic conditions. The friction stir weld joints of dissimilar alloys aluminium are constructed using three sets of parameters. Straight cylinder, taper cylinder, and straight triangular tool profiles; tool rotational speeds of 800, 1000, and 1200 rpm; tool feed rates of 100, 120, and 140 mm/min; and tool offsets of 0.5, 0 mm, and -1.5 mm. The corrosion current (Icorr) reduces as tool rotating speed increases up to 1200 rpm, after which it slightly increases due to the creation of ridges all around the periphery of the friction stir weld area.

Authors: Madhu B. M. , . Rashmi , Sailaja R. R. N. , Sundara Rajan J.
Published: December 2022

High performance glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites are in greater demand in several industrial applications, from civil structures to aviation industry. The epoxy has highly cross-linked structure and is found to be high performance polymer. Further, carbon nanofillers such as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and thermally stable microfiller aluminium trihydrate (ATH) are being used to improve the thermal properties. GNP and MWCNT posses high aspect ratio and specific surface area contributing to improvement in thermal properties of composites. In spite of this, there are difficulties connected with nanofiller addition, such as dispersion and interaction. The fabricated nanocomposites are based on ECR glass fiber and epoxy resin by adding GNP, MWCNT and ATH fillers using pultrusion process assisted by ultrasonication. For the purpose of comparison, composites containing only MWCNT, GNP and ATH were also tested. The XRD and SEM were used to study the fillers dispersion and interaction. The thermogravemetric analysis(TGA) was carried out to determine the thermal stability of composites. From the thermal analysis result, it is found that the epoxy-MWCNT-GNP-ATH composite has enhanced thermal stability due to the addition of ATH micro filler.

Published: December 2022

MMCs exhibit increased modulus, strength, and fatigue strength. In MMCs, reinforcements can either be discontinuous or continuous or a combination of both. Owing to lower aspect ratio, and random orientation of the reinforcements, discontinuously reinforced composites exhibit comparatively higher isotropic properties than composites that are continuously reinforced. In the current research an attempt has been made to carry out experiments on Al-7Si and Fly ash and Graphite hybrid composites which were fabricated in steps of 3 wt.% of Flyash with 3 wt.% of Graphite and 3 wt.% of Flyash with 5 wt.% of Graphite for 25mm and 75mm diameter dies. Microstructural characterization of the specimens prepared following SEM, XRD, and EDS. Mechanical properties like hardness, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength were evaluated as per ASTM standards. The composites prepared in 25 mm cast iron die were exhibited superior mechanical properties as compared to the composites prepared in the 75 mm diameter cast iron die. Further, with the addition of fly ash and graphite particles mechanical properties of Al-7Si alloy were improved.

Published: December 2022

This study influences the effect of various process parameters on Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) of stainless steel 316L using mild steel as substrate. CMT has a benefit of a minimal heat input, a high deposition rate, and increased efficiency. Typically, single pass weld beads are utilized for repair and remanufacturing. The geometry of the beads determines the cladding performance of additively produced components. Therefore, optimal range of bead characteristics is necessary to ensure superior mechanical qualities. The parameters includes as: welding current, travel speed and feed speed, were tuned to produce joints with complete penetration depth and zero defects. The weld bead with lower wire travel speed of (2.9 m/min) and higher wire feed speed of (4.9 m/min) at current value of (141A) shows the optimum value of (bead width: 3.56 mm, bead height: 1.72mm, weld penetration: 3.83mm and dilution: 1.5%). This was attributed to the decreases of wire travel speed and increases of wire feed speed ensuring better penetration and larger molten metal. While a higher current value causes the convexity area of the bead to rise, it displays a stronger penetration and minimal dilution.
Optimal Design of Steel Planar Trusses Using Ant Lion Algorithm
Authors: Jayaram M. A.
Published: December 2022

This paper elaborates on optimized design of steel structures directed towards the sustainability of materials. The case in point is steel trusses that are extensively used structural components. Though copious research is available on use of conventional optimization methods, nature-inspired optimization algorithms have received scarce attention particularly in optimal design of planar trusses. In this paper, the development of Ant Lion algorithm for the optimal design models for steel trusses is elaborated. A comprehensive comparison with the optimized sectional weights obtained by other nature inspired optimization algorithms implemented in earlier research by the author. They include elitism based genetic algorithm (EBGA), ant colony optimization (ACO), artificial honeybee optimization (AHBO), and Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Four steel trusses with different articulations have been considered for this purpose. It is found that the optimal weights obtained by Ant Lion algorithm are almost on par with those obtained by PSO. The other three algorithms vary marginally. However, the convergence to overall weight of trusses is different for different algorithms. ALO took 100-200 iterations for the convergence. In fact, the convergence to optimized weights are faster in case of ALO and PSO in relation to other algorithms.

The evaluation and remembrance of Shin Kyu-sik(신규식) in modern and contemporary korea and its meaning
Authors:   HUFS Institute of History and Culture, Shin Woon-yong
Published: December 2022

The evaluation and memorial service for Shin Kyu-sik began in earnest after his death on September 25, 1922. In particular, The 『Dong-A Ilbo(동아일보)』 defined him as a martyr in an article dated September 28, 1922. The main writer(Choi Nam-sun/최남선) of the 『Dongmyeong(동명)』 evaluated Shin Kyu-sik as “a person consistent with intelligence” and accepted his death as a meaning of “acrificing his life to his country.” Meanwhile, The 『Chinese New Daily News(中華新報)』 showed the Respect for him of the Chinese through an article.
Even in the 1930s, Lee Yoo-chun(이유춘) emphasized the greatness of the Korean people. This was a protest against the unfairness of Japanese colonial rule. This anti-Japanese struggle continued with Min Pil-ho's 『Korean Soul(한국혼)』 in 1939.
A representative example of the evaluation and remembrance of Shin Kyu-sik in the 1940s is 『Diplomatic history between China and Korea(중한외교사화)』 published by Min Pil-ho in Zhongqing, China in 1942. In this book, Chinese journalist Hu Zhengzhi(胡政之) defined 『Korean Soul』 as “the essence of his soul.” Even after the restoration of korean sovereignty in 1945, The evaluation and remembrance of Shin Kyu-sikd did not cool down.
In particular, in the 2000s, It is noteworthy that Shi Yuan-hua(石源華), a representative Chinese researcher, evaluated him as a leader of the korean independence movement, an educator, a religious activist, and a great thinker.
As such, Shin Kyu-sik, a modern figure, is still alive and currently moving korea. The historical meaning of him gives the answer to “what is our identity and what kind of country we will create.”
Shin, Kyu-sik and Daejonggyo(Ⅰ)
Authors:   HUFS Institute of History and Culture, Cho Nam-ho
Published: December 2022

This study This article intends to examine Shin, Kyu-sik's thoughts on the Daejonggyo by focusing on the poems 'Amokru' and contents of 'Korean Soul' in his collection of works. Shin, Kyu-sik wrote poetry about Na, Cheol's deeds when he majored in Daejonggyo, when he left for Manchuria for missionary work, when he built a church in Manchuria, when he performed a miracle, and when he committed suicide at Samseongsa Temple in Guwolsan. To him, Na, Cheol was regarded as a life saver and the embodiment of Dangun. Na, Cheol's self-determination was compared to Jesus' crucifixion, and Na, Cheol's missionary difficulties were compared to Shakya's difficult realization. He believed that the three gods, the doctrine of Daejonggyo, were one and that it was Dangun, and he built a heavenly palace that enshrined Dangun and prayed every day. He studied cultivating to become a rookie unity through strikeout, and revealed that he had no original guilt in Christianity. Shin, Kyu-sik thought that a new country should be established with the identity standard of Dangun. This was also reflected in the Provisional Government. In addition, one can understand the new ritual only by understanding Daejonggyo. Building a nation-state centered on Dangun was the historical task of this period and the aspirations of independence activists. Shin, Kyu-sik reaffirmed Na, Cheol's missionary work on Daejonggyo by extending the identity of the Korean people not only to the Korean Peninsula, but also to the Gando region. The restoration of the Korean national identity in the Gando region served as a base for the independence movement during the anti-Japanese struggle and was a great story that laid a solid foundation for the establishment of the Korean-Chinese Autonomous Region after the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1948. The significance of Daejonggyo's mission to the Gando region is that it was achieved in the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties, even though efforts were made to restore the Goguryeo homeland, but did not achieve great results. The current identity of the Korean people (政体, government) became an opportunity to form three autonomous provinces: South Korea, North Korea, and Josen ethnicity. Shin Kyu-sik has historically had the perception that Manchuria has been our territory since Dangun.

Authors: Choudhary Ashok , Shekhawat P.S. , Godara A.S. , Singh S.P. , Kumar Sheilendra
Published: December 2022

Background: Chickpea plays a greater role in national food and nutritional security and sustaining the economy of the farming community in a variety of ways. As a result of stagnated production and continuous increasing in population, the per capita availability of pulses has decreased considerably. Since very little scope exists for horizontal expansion of area, the alternative seems to be by adopting innovative agronomic practices like nipping, selection of proper seed rate and variety for a set of agro-climatic conditions to overcome from decreasing production potential. In view of above consideration, the present investigation entitled “Response of seed rate and nipping on different chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) varieties in arid irrigated western plain zone” was carried out. Methods: The field experiment was conducted at SKRAU, Bikaner during two consecutive Rabi seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications, assigning 36 treatments consisting of three varieties (GNG-1581, GNG-1958 and GNG-2171) and three seed rates (48, 64 and 80 kg/ha) as main plot treatments and four levels of nipping practice (control, nipping at 30, 45 and 60 DAS) as subplot treatments. Result: Variety GNG-1581 had significantly shorter plant stature with higher number of branches/plant (13.94), pods/plant (40.14), seeds/pod (1.78), seed yield (2142 kg/ha), whereas, variety GNG-1958 showed significantly higher plant height (52.53 cm) and straw yield (3720 kg/ha). Number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant and seed index were found significantly higher in the seed rate of 48 kg/ ha. Maximum plant population, plant height, seed yield (2111 kg/ha.), straw yield (3657 kg/ha) were recorded with the seed rate of 80 kg/ ha but on par with the seed rate of 64 kg/ha. Nipping had a significant effect on growth, yield attributes and yield of chickpea. The highest number of branches/plant (13.32), pods/plant (39.61), seed/pod (1.78), seed index (19.16 g), seed yield (2121 kg/ha) and straw yield (3695 kg/ha) were obtained when nipping was practiced at 45 DAS.

Uma análise do processo de superação de exclusão em Lucas 11,17-34
Authors: Solano Rossi Luiz Alexandre , Schietti Mariana
Published: December 2022

Numa cena ao redor de uma mesa se instala uma controvérsia entre fariseus e Jesus que envolve um movimento de inclusão ou de exclusão das pessoas. Ambos os discursos são legitimadores da inclusão ou da exclusão e são baseados em argumentos religiosos. O ato de Jesus de não lavar as mãos causou não apenas um choque nos fariseus, mas também uma forte sensação de impureza neles. Dividir a mesa com um impuro, a partir de suas concepções teológicas, significava tornar-se impuro e, portanto, excluído.
O impacto da pandemia para o adventismo: narrativas comunicacionais e memória coletiva
Authors: Darius Fábio Augusto , Follis Rodrigo
Published: December 2022

A pandemia trazida pela propagação da Covid-19 se tornou um grande desafio para toda a sociedade, e não seria diferente para a religião. Dentro desse escopo, o presente artigo se debruça em como a Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia (IASD), através do seu site oficial (www.adventistas.org), construiu uma narrativa sobre o atual cenário, dando subsídios para seus membros estarem ligados ao movimento, mesmo em época de distanciamento social e de outros tantos percalços para a realização de cultos e liturgias. A partir de tal corpus, catalogou-se todas as 156 notícias publicadas no portal e depois comparou-se com as notícias mais compartilhadas na página do Facebook oficial da denominação, as quais foram catalogadas e analisadas de maneira quantitativa e de forma qualitativa. O início da pesquisa se deu a partir de março de 2020 e optou-se por excluir as postagens a partir do dia 29 de novembro de 2020, quando se começa a discussão mais forte quanto às vacinas, a qual se torna mais politizada e menos religiosa. Os resultados encontrados corroboram com a teorização realizada quanto à necessidade de os movimentos religiosos estarem preparados para, em momentos de ruptura da memória coletiva, darem aos seus membros certa noção de perenidade. E é justamente isso que o adventismo fez, através de ações de cunho social e de mensagens motivacionais.

Published: December 2022

O suicídio é uma das principais causas de morte no mundo e está presente em todas as faixas etárias, sendo que, os jovens, são muito vulneráveis ao comportamento autocídio. No século XXI o autoextermínio já alcançou a fatídica estatística de ser a terceira causa mortis na adolescência. Este artigo questiona, a partir das Ciências das Religiões e em perspectiva multidisciplinar, qual seria o papel dos espaços “escola” e “religião” como locais de convivência e integração social, além de ser espaço de enfrentamento do suicídio. O texto retoma abordagens clássicas, como a de Durkheim, e incorpora dados de organizações internacionais, além de pesquisas nacionais. O artigo está divido em duas seções. Na primeira discute o que é suicídio e seus efeitos na sociedade; na segunda, reflete sobre escola e religião como espaços de enfrentamento do suicídio.
Comunidade, imunidade, direitos humanos e religião: reflexões a partir da obra de Roberto Esposito
Authors: Jardim Spina Henrique , Barsalini Glauco
Published: December 2022

Este artigo tem por finalidade apresentar a abordagem do intelectual contemporâneo Roberto Esposito a respeito das temáticas comunidade, cidadania e direitos humanos, e, também, da relação entre a religião e os conceitos de comunidade e do seu oposto, imunidade. No que se refere à religião, a recuperação, em perspectiva, dos termos sagrado e santo a partir dos estudos de Émile Benveniste, renova o contexto das contribuições contemporâneas para a área. Esposito denuncia que a cidadania e os direitos humanos operam, na contemporaneidade, na chave da imunidade, afastando-se, com isso, do senso de comunidade. O conjunto das interpretações do autor italiano oferta reflexões instigantes para os territórios da Teologia Pública e da Teologia Política, contribuindo, com isso, para os estudos das Ciências da Religião e da Teologia no Brasil. O método utilizado nesta pesquisa é o bibliográfico.
Onde está Deus? Uma pergunta que a teologia precisa enfrentar em tempos de crise aguda mundial
Authors: Stephanini Valdir
Published: December 2022

RESUMO: Este artigo se propõe a fazer uma reflexão sobre a relação que há entre a religião e os momentos de crise aguda vividos pela humanidade, causados pelas pandemias e guerras. A partir da categoria da kenosis de Deus, ou pensiero debole, proposto por Gianni Vattimo, tendo como fundamento a encarnação do Verbo Divino na pessoa de Jesus Cristo, busca-se mostrar que, mais do que respostas prontas, a teologia precisa adotar uma postura de humildade, reconhecendo não ter todas, nem as melhores respostas aos questionamentos relacionados ao agir de Deus em meio às crises que afetam a humanidade. O objetivo principal é procurar encontrar alternativas para que a teologia se mantenha relevante e consiga cumprir sua missão de transmitir esperança para um mundo desesperado, alívio para uma humanidade que sofre e consolo para milhões de famílias que sofrem. A questão problema é: como falar de Deus num tempo tão desafiador, em que toda a humanidade é atingida pela crise aguda causada pela pandemia e pela guerra? A primeira seção, trata do quadro geral vivido pela humanidade com a pandemia e a guerra. A segunda seção apresenta os referenciais teóricos que desafiam o falar de Deus, em tempos de tempestade como este que atravessa a humanidade nesse momento. A terceira seção aponta possíveis caminhos que levem ao diálogo, tanto internamente, entre os agentes que fazem teologia e os que a proclamam para o povo, como também, e especialmente, diálogo externo com as variadas ciências que se desenvolvem na sociedade contemporânea, muito especialmente com as ciências médicas, sociais e humanas.

Survey of Anaphylaxis during Rasburicase Re-Administration in Patients with Hematological Malignancies Using a Japanese Claims Database
Authors: Kobayashi Shunsuke , Yasu Takeo , Akazawa Manabu
Published: December 2022

Management of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) associated with cancer chemotherapy for malignant tumors is important because of its potentially fatal course. The use of rasburicase, a recombinant urate oxidase, is recommended for TLS; however, because rasburicase is an enzymatic drug, one should be cautious of anaphylaxis during administration. Using claims data in Japan, we investigated the rate of rasburicase re-administration and the occurrence of anaphylaxis during re-administration in patients with hematopoietic malignancies in a multicenter setting. Re-administration of rasburicase was defined as administration after an interval of 21 days from the first dose. Of 373 patients, 18 were re-administered with rasburicase (re-administration rate: 4.8%). No patient developed anaphylaxis. The median number of days from the first to the last dose of rasburicase was 256.5 days (interquartile range: 138.8–455.8 days). The median daily dose was 7.5 mg (4.5–11.3 mg), and the median total dose was 33.8 mg (19.1–64.1 mg). This claims database analysis revealed that the re-administration rate of rasburicase was low in Japanese patients with hematopoietic malignancies, suggesting that rasburicase was being used appropriately, and that associated anaphylaxis was not observed.

Published: December 2022

This study employs a high-fidelity numerical framework to determine the plastic material flow patterns and temperature distributions that lead to void formation during friction stir welding (FSW), and to relate the void morphologies to the underlying alloy material properties and process conditions. Three aluminum alloys, viz., 6061-T6, 7075-T6, and 5053-H18 were investigated under varying traverse speeds. The choice of aluminum alloys enables investigation of a wide range of thermal and mechanical properties. The numerical simulations were validated using experimental observations of void morphologies in these three alloys. Temperatures, plastic strain rates, and material flow patterns are considered. The key results from this study are: (1) The predicted stir zone and void morphology are in good agreement with the experimental observations, (2) The temperature and plastic strain-rate maps in the steady-state process conditions show a strong dependency on the alloy type and traverse speeds, (3) The material velocity contours provide a good insight into the material flow in the stir zone for the FSW process conditions that result in voids as well as those that do not result in voids. The numerical model and the ensuing parametric studies presented in this work provide a framework for understanding material flow under different process conditions in aluminum alloys, and potentially in other alloys. Furthermore, the utility of the numerical model for making quantitative predictions and investigating different process parameters to reduce void formation is demonstrated.
Sustainability 3.0 in Libraries: A Challenge for Management
Authors: Keller Alice
Published: December 2022

This article works on the three questions: “How can libraries make an effective contribution to resolving the sustainability challenges we are collectively facing?”; “When are libraries truly sustainable?”; and “How can library management support this shift?”. Looking across libraries and their history of the last decades, the author discerns different stages of development leading to sustainability. In line with the work of Dyllick and Muff (2016) the author describes Sustainability Levels 0.0 to 3.0. The highest level requires a quantum leap and shifts from thinking inside-out to outside-in. This article addresses the need that there is virtually no academic management literature on the topic of sustainability in libraries. It shows that whilst there are many examples of individual projects or activities, there is a serious lack of methodology senior management level.

Authors: Latifah Sri , Diani Rahma , Malik Safira Lusiana Marinda
Published: December 2022

This study aims to determine the effect of the ICARE learning model on students’ computational thinking skills, the effect of gender differences on students’ computational thinking skills, and the interaction between the ICARE learning model and gender differences in students’ computational thinking. The research method used is quasi-experimental. This research was conducted at high school, SMA Muhammadiyah Bandar Lampung. The population in this study is class X MIPA with a sample of X MIPA 1 and X MIPA 3. The sampling technique is cluster random sampling. Hypothesis testing using a two-way ANOVA test with a 2x2 factorial design. The results of this study are: 1) there is an effect of the ICARE learning model on students’ computational thinking skills, with a significance level of 0.000 <0.05, 2) there is no effect of gender differences on computational thinking skills, with a significance level of 0.628 > 0.05, and 3) there is no interaction between ICARE learning models and gender differences on computational thinking skills, with a significance of 0.320> 0.05. Problem-solving in physics learning can use computational thinking skills, namely by indicators of decomposition, abstraction, algorithms, and generalization of patterns. So that, computational thinking skills are important in the physics learning process.
Simultaneous Displaced Anterior and Posterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fractures After Fall From a Bicycle
Authors: Berrian Kaitlyn M. , Lee Patrick , Issack Paul S.
Published: December 2022

Case:

We present the case of a 31-year-old man who sustained simultaneous displaced anterior and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tibial avulsion fractures after falling from a bicycle.

Conclusion:

Combined avulsion fractures of the anterior and PCLs is an extremely unusual event and has rarely been reported. The displaced fragments pulled proximally by their respective cruciate ligaments required open reduction and internal fixation to prevent impingement and instability. The patient had excellent clinical and radiographic results after open reduction internal fixation of both fractures.

The early environmental history of Mars is encoded in the planet's record of sedimentary rocks. Since 2012, the Curiosity rover has been ascending Mount Sharp, Gale crater's central mound, making detailed observations of sedimentary strata exposed there. The primary depositional setting represented by the rocks examined thus far has been a perennial lake, represented by the mudstones and sandstone lenses of the Murray formation. Here, we report on the sedimentology of outcrops examined in the Carolyn Shoemaker formation, which sits stratigraphically above the Murray formation. We interpret strata exposed in the Glasgow and Mercou members of the Carolyn Shoemaker formation to represent river bars in ancient alluvial and shoreline settings based on sedimentary structures, stratal geometries measured from photogrammetric data, and erosional morphology. The transition from a lacustrine to a fluvial depositional setting records the aggradation and progradation of coastal rivers into what was previously the extent of the Gale lake system. This may have occurred due to the shrinking of the lake over time due to climate-driven changes in the basin water balance, or local three-dimensionality in shoreline evolution, such as the formation of a new sedimentary lobe following a channel switch.

Objective. To interrogate the circulating SARS-CoV-2 lin­eages and recombinant variants in persons living in migrant shelters and persons who inject drugs (PWID). Materials and methods. We combined data from two studies with marginalized populations (migrants in shelters and persons who inject drugs) in Tijuana, Mexico. SARS-CoV-2 variants were identified on nasal swabs specimens and compared to publicly available genomes sampled in Mexico and California. Results. All but 2 of the 10 lineages identified were predomi­nantly detected in North and Central America. Discrepan­cies between migrants and PWID can be explained by the temporal emergence and short time span of most of these lineages in the region. Conclusion. The results illustrate the temporo-spatial structure for SARS-CoV-2 lineage dispersal and the potential co-circulation of multiple lineages in high-risk populations with close social contacts. These conditions create the potential for recombination to take place in the California-Baja California border.
