English proficiency has been a complex skill to develop in a face-to-face setting, especially in the remote learning modality. This descriptive-correlational study aims to determine the various macro and micro context factors in English language learning of secondary students (n=189) under modular distance learning. Factor analysis is utilized in extracting the following factor loadings for macro-context: a) lack of assistance from more knowledgeable others, b) unconducive-to-learning environment, c) cultural influence, d) poor feedback mechanism, e) insufficient resources, and f) low quality of the self-learning kit. Micro-context factors constitute the following: a) lack of exposure and practice, b) lack of perceived competence, c) lack of motivation and d) lack of interest. Students employed self-regulated strategies and managed to overcome these challenges through a) commitment to practice the skill, b) self-evaluation strategies, and c) social strategies. Students’ context should be considered in the teaching and learning process.

The food safety compliance and challenges of micro–Food Business Operators (FBOs) that could impact COVID-19 are assessed in this study using the descriptive-comparative research design. The findings reveal that the sanitary conditions of utensils and equipment, the sanitary operations and facilities, the monitoring of time and temperatures, and the maintenance of the sanitary conditions in the facility need major improvement to increase food safety compliance and to contribute in mitigating the transmission of COVID-19. Minor improvements are needed in the handwashing facility, the implementation of the water potability program, Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures, personnel disease control, and hygienic practices. Moreover, the lack of technical knowledge and time to manage and continuously improve food safety system are the challenges experienced by the FBOs. These findings are instrumental to the improvement of the food safety practices, formulation of relevant policies, and conceptualization of research in mitigating COVID-19 relevant to food safety.

Published: January 2022

The fisheries sector is a vital sector for Southeast Asian (ASEAN) nations as it provides a source of protein and employment to the people. However, the ASEAN fisheries sector also encounters several conflict issues. Fisheries conflicts are common in Southeast Asian nations and are dangerous if left unaddressed. Such conflicts can destroy the livelihoods of fishers and negatively affect food security and the fishing environment. In this paper, fisheries conflicts cases in ASEAN are used to examine conflicts faced by fishers. The objective is to understand the sources of conflicts and recommend approaches for reducing or eliminating the conflicts to ensure the sustainability of fisheries resources in the ASEAN region. The main findings of this paper show that the principal sources of conflicts in ASEAN are disagreement of fishers with the allocation of resources by the government and competition among fishers for the limited fisheries resources. Community-based management or co-managed fisheries have the potential to empower communities in decision making to solve the conflicts and ensure fisheries rights are allocated equitably.

Published: January 2022

Piracy is one of the primary challenges facing the music industry. Music piracy has accounted for substantial revenue losses in this industry in Malaysia, a country in which intellectual property regimes are deemed as a matter of concern. If music piracy is left unchecked, it may destroy the value chain of the music industry. This study aims to explore the extent to which digital music copyright violations prevails in society and examine the characteristics of copyright violators. The analysis was carried out using primary data collected from a survey carried out in Penang, a highly urbanised state in Malaysia. A descriptive approach was used for the analysis. The findings from this study offer insights into the phenomenon of music piracy in Malaysia. The incidence of violating copyright was high, with seven out of ten persons involved in illegally using digital music. Copyright violators have distinguishing characteristics that differentiate them from non-copyright violators. The results found that awareness about intellectual property rights was rather low among violators and that they had misconceptions about music piracy. While most participants agreed that effective enforcement was critical in reducing illegal music activities, fewer perceived the risks of being caught and the high costs associated with punishment. Policies aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of intellectual property rights and the possible societal implications of copyright issues were discussed. The need to enhance copyright enforcement protection in the country is also highlighted.

Harmonisasi Asuransi Syariah dalam Maqashid Syariah dan Perundangan di Indonesia
Authors: Ilham Muhammad
Published: January 2022

Kajian tentang Asuransi Syariah telah dikaji dalam fatwa DSN-MUI Nomor 21/DSN-MUI/X/2001, yaitu Asuransi Syariah. Meskipun demikian bahwa perlu kembali untuk mengkaji dalam konsep Maqashid Syariah dan Peraturann Undang-undang di Indonesia. Mengacu pada kajiannya bahwa pendekatan yang diterapkan dalam tulisan ini beupa kajian kualitatif dengan sumber berupa fatwa DSN-MUI dan Peraturan yang terkait dnegan perasuransian secara umum. Dalam kesimpulan yang didapatkan bahwa pada dasarnya implementasi teori maqasid asy-syariah memberi warna baru dalam pembahasan asuransi. Ada titik temu antara tujuan ditetapkannya syariah dengan maksud diadakannya asuransi. Peranan asuransi dalam melindungi al-kulliyah alkhams bisa berupa ijabiyah (perwujudan), bisa juga berupa salbiyah (pencegahan/penolakan). Sehingga secara filosofis bahwa maksud dan tujuan seorang muslim dalam mengikuti program asuransi dengan niatan melindungi agama, jiwa, akal, keturunan, harta dan kehormatan. Secara esensial dapat dikatakan bahwa adanya prinsip-prinsip hukum asuransi, tidak bertentangan dengan syari‟at Islam. Prisnip-prinsip itu ditempatkan sebagai syarat sahnya akad dan termasuk syarat yang diakui, bukan syarat yang bertentangan dengan akad (mulghah). Justru keberadaannya memperkuat keberadaan tujuan akad asuransi yang telah terbentuk.

Published: January 2022

Kebiasaan adalah salah satu sumber hukum perdagangan internasional, dan dalam metodologi hukum Islam kebiasaan diistilahkan dengan ‘urf, adalah sebagai dalil/sumber hukumnya. Kebiasaan (‘urf) dalam pandangan metodologi hukum Islam ini dapat berlaku dalam hukum perdagangan internasional, mesti memenuhi kriteria-kriteria tertentu, dan sejalan dengan Nash (al-Quran dan Sunnah). Kebiasaan (‘urf) ini sendiri merupakan bagian dari natural-karektaristik yang hidup dalam masyarakat dunia, ia terbentuk secara sengaja maupun tidak sengaja dan alami. Sehingga kebiasaan itu tidak bisa dihilangkan atau didiskualifikasi, dan bahkan semakin mejadi trand masyarakat kontemporer, seperti perdagangan internasional secara online (e-commerce). Islam sebagai agama universal, dinamis, cocok untuk setiap waktu dan tempat, mengatur kebiasaan tersebut secara komprehensif.

More rapid technological advances made this a very effective medium in communicating and conveying messages to the public. Television, the internet, radio, etc., are mediums that companies frequently use in promoting their products through advertisements. Advertisements have a large influence on making consumers buy the products. Hence, the success of an advertisement will decide the sales of a product. This research was conducted to analyze how Raisa's version of the AQUA advertisement represents the image of AQUA being the most healthy and clean drinking water through the use of functional systemic linguistic theory and a combination of Anstey and Bull's multimodal theory and Kress & Van Leeuwen's multimodal analysis. This advertisement in the form of audiovisuals displayed on the social media platform, YouTube, with the title of 'Tidak Semua Air Sama, Mau Tahu Cara Raisa Memilih Air Minum Untuk Kesehatan Keluarga'. This study uses a semiotic approach that focuses on multimodal systems, which include linguistic, visual, audio, gestural, and spatial. The type of research used is qualitative research with a multimodal analysis approach. Language messages are carried out through spoken language, and written language makes the audience understand more about what is going on. Although it has a short duration, this ad managed to leave a distinct impression on the audience by focusing on conveying every important message. The results of the analysis reveal that these five multimodal systems are integrated into this advertisement. This advertisement covers all five aspects of a multimodal semiotic system, and these five aspects are integrated to add to the core of the message, which is to advertise AQUA mineral water.

Досліджено еколого-ценотичні особливості популяції коручки чемерниковидної (Epipactis helleborine) у спонтанних (трансформованих і відновлювальних) лісових фітоценозах із переважанням у деревостані Carpinus betulus, Acer platanoides та Quercus robur в урочищі «Лиса гора» (Київ). Раніше було відомо декілька знахідок цього виду на території регіонального ландшафтного парку «Лиса гора», що дозволило здійснити порівняльний хорологічний аналіз Epipactis helleborine та ймовірність поширення (міграції) у часі та просторі в зв’язку з природними (залісення, зміна затінення, сукцесійні процеси, конкуренція видів, ерозія ґрунтів) та антропогенними (витоптування вздовж доріг, формування освітлених ділянок, заповідний режим) впливами. Аборигенна популяція автохтонного походження досить велика за площею (~1500×500 м) і утворена близько 1000 особин всіх онтогенетичних стадій, які розміщені в основному у центральній частині урочища «Лиса гора» і є ймовірно однією з найбільших і стійких (гомеостазних) популяцій в Україні. Було відображено сучасний стан популяції Epipactis helleborine, визначено її синтаксономічний статус та обґрунтовано гіпотезу перспектив подальшого розвитку. З’ясовано закономірності онтогенезу Epipactis helleborine в урбаністичних умовах зростання на орографічно диз’юнктивній, фрагментованій території. Виявлено досить високу стійкість (віталітетність) до рекреаційного впливу, витоптування, затінення, а також задовільну конкурентну спроможність у лісових синузіях, резистентність до захворювань і посушливих погодно-кліматичних умов. Лісові фітоценози з Epipactis helleborine належать до класу Carpino-Fagetea sylvaticae, порядку Carpinetalia betuli, союзу Carpinion betuli, асоціація Galeobdolo lutei-Carpinetum.
A memória é uma ilha de edição: um enquadramento teórico para pesquisas sobre entrevistas e memória
Authors: Rêgo Carlos Eduardo Oliva , Cordeiro Jr. José Amaral , Augusto Paloma Maria Rodrigues , Mosca Jr. Roberto
Published: February 2022

Neste artigo, proporemos um enquadramento teórico para pesquisas sobre entrevistas e memória. Inicialmente, apresentaremos um referencial geral composto por obras de Pierre Bourdieu (2006), Giovanni Levi (2006), Michel Pollak (1989) e Beatriz Sarlo (2007), visando explicitar algumas das abordagens teóricas sobre trajetórias, biografias, memória e subjetividade nas quais alguém que realize pesquisas utilizando entrevistas e memória possa se fundamentar. Em seguida, trataremos especificamente das concepções de memória apresentadas por Maurice Halbwachs (1990) em A Memória Coletiva, por Michael Pollak (1989) em Memória, Esquecimento, Silêncio e por Walter Benjamin (2012) em O Narrador – considerações sobre a obra de Nikolai Leskov, bem como as distintas maneiras como esses autores conceberam as categorias “indivíduo”, “história” e “espaço”, discutindo ainda, em linhas gerais, a função que cada um deles atribuiu ao “esquecimento”. Abordaremos a dimensão da memória enquanto algo que está em constante processo de construção e desconstrução, que é o que todos os autores citados nos permitem notar, com o intuito de compartilhar essa nossa perspectiva para demais pesquisadores interessados em marcos referenciais teóricos para pesquisas sobre entrevistas e memória.
Postcolonialism, Liberal Internationalism, 9/11 and Pakistani English Fiction
Authors: Naz Bushra
Published: January 2022

In this article, I argue that Momo, Chengaze, and Daanish’s quest of political liberty and identity in Red Birds, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, and Trespassing respectively manifests that liberal-internationalism is a colonial agenda. Focussing on the development of liberal internationalism because of the transformation of the colonial to a neo-colonial strategy of the powerful countries, I argue that Pakistani fiction demonstrates these policies influencing and affecting the everyday life of ordinary Muslims living in refugee camps, diaspora, or in Pakistan. The focal point would be the examination of the procedures and constituents of liberal-internationalism to distinguish colonial subterfuges and ruses of upholding control in the erstwhile and contemporaneous colonies exemplified in these novels in the context of post 9/11. For the purpose of this analysis, I have taken Chris Brown and Kristen Ainley’s notion of liberal internationalism as a modern means of colonization, Gilbert Rist’s ideas of liberal internationalism as a medium of disguised colonization, and E. H. Carr’s view of internationalism as a utopian fantasy for fundamentally being a colonial economic agenda to keep afloat the conflict between ‘haves’ and ‘have not’ by way of creating an economic dependency of the third world nations’ upon the rich nations. Following this, I will interpret Brown, Ainley, and Rist’s philosophy of the production of liberal internationalism as a secreted ploy of modern colonization building on Carr’s notion of international liberalism as a paradox of political and economic freedom and a disagreement against it for political and economic liberty, an essential element in M. Hanif, Mohsin Hamid, and Uzma Aslam Khan’s protagonist’s achievement of individual sovereignty through a fundamental reconceptualization of their identity to the decolonization of their personhood.

Published: January 2022

Considering the potential health hazardous effects, the distribution and deposition of heavy metals and trace elements including Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, and Pb in different tissues (skin, brain, liver, meat, and bone) of broiler and layer chickens, their feeds, litter, and eggs were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) after nitric/perchloric acid digestion. The samples for this study were taken from four poultry industries located at Sreepur upazila of Gazipur district of Bangladesh. The observed levels of heavy metals and trace element contents in different studied samples were to be in the range of 0.143±0.001 to 7.324±0.004 mg/kg for Mn, below the detection limit (BDL) to 324.43±0.003 mg/kg for Fe, 0.451±0.002 to 4.329±0.005 mg/kg for Cu, 0.014±0.001 to 7.413±0.003 mg/kg for Zn, 0.082±0.002 to 7.806±0.002 mg/kg for Cr, 0.112±0.002 to 1.581±0.002 mg/kg for Cd, and BDL to 34.775±0.004 mg/kg for Pb. Although some elements were found at a lower concentration in feed samples, they were found at a higher level in various parts of the examined chickens, eggs, and litter which may be resulted from other sources such as drinking water, soil, and the surrounding environment of the poultry industries. The brain contained a maximum amount of Cd, Cr, and Pb in comparison to other studied tissues of poultry. Most of the chicken body parts showed an excess level of Cr than the recommended guidelines. The Cu and Zn contents were usual in studied egg samples, whereas Mn, Fe, Cd, Cr, and Pb were found higher than their tolerance limits which are highly alarming for public health and demand regular governance and monitoring.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs amid COVID-19 pandemic: An ally or an enemy?
Authors: Hussain Azhar , Kaler Jasndeep , Kumar Sohail , Azim Dua , Nasim Sundus
Published: January 2022

As the current global pandemic of the novel coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) continues to rage, the scientific and medical worlds are working to establish an effective therapy against the illness. Recently questions regarding non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as a potential therapeutic option for COVID-19 have surfaced. While some studies hint towards the possible benefit of NSAIDs against SARS-CoV-2 infection, the current body of evidence also sheds light on the potential risk of using NSAIDs in COVID-19 patients. Thus, the available literature does not provide conclusive evidence for or against the use of NSAIDs for treating COVID-19 patients. Given the limited data available, we suggest cautionary approaches for the public to avoid possible harm until further evidence emerges. NSAIDs should not be used as the first-line agents for COVID-19 unlessunder medical supervision. Moreover, patients with chronic inflammatory conditions should continue the NSAIDs as per their regular prescriptions.

Authors: Haque Hasan Moinul , Kar Auditi , Hossen Md Shafiul
Published: January 2022

Background: Liver cirrhosis leads to the abnormalities in liver function.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipid profile in cirrhotic patients as well as their correlation with patients age and body mass index.

Methodology: This case- control study was conducted in the Chittagong Medical College Hospital and People’s Hospital Limited, Chattogram from October 2017 to March 2018 for a period of six months. Venous blood was collected from 25 patients and 25 controls after 8 hours overnight fasting. Inflammatory marker (CRP) and Serum lipid status were recorded for each participant.

Results: The mean serum C-reactive protein; total cholesterol; Triglycerides; High Density Lipoprotein and Low Density Lipoprotein level were 2.448 ± 1.174; 132.228 ± 15.352; 100.228 ± 20.564 mg/dl; 53.081 ± 9.994 mg/dl and 59.108 ± 18.634 mg/dl in cirrhotic patients. CRP value was significantly higher in patients compared to healthy individuals (p < 0.05). The extent of decreasing lipid profile (except HDL) was also significantly related to the progress in cirrhosis (p < 0.05). The positive correlation of age and BMI of patients were associated with CRP and various lipid variables.

Conclusion: The higher CRP value and extent of decreasing lipid profile (except HDL) in patients may serve as a baseline for further studies that required to determine the predictive values of lipid profiles as a means to estimate the extent of liver damage in cirrhotic patients.

Authors: Sulaiman Dady
Published: January 2022

Biomass is one of the solutions for Indonesia to obtain energy because Indonesia has the potential for biomass like biodiesel and bioethanol. The biomass to be studied is Bioethanol. One of the main ingredients in the manufacture of bioethanol is forest bananas, where this type of banana is very easy to find in rural areas around the district of Bulungan. Forest bananas are a type of wild plant that grows in the forest and it’s not consumed by residents because there are many seeds in the banana. Therefore, forest banana waste is increasing due to the lack of utilization of the waste. Based on these problems, it is necessary to conduct research that aims to test the characteristics of bioethanol from forest bananas to the variation of yeast mass. The stages of the research method that will be done include several stages, namely 1) the manufacture of bioethanol, 2) the stage of measuring ethanol levels, and 3) the stage of testing the characteristics of bioethanol. The stages of bioethanol testing are characteristic tests, including: 1) Ethanol Content Analysis, 2) Water Content Analysis, 3) Density Analysis, 4) Specific Gravity and API Gravity Analysis, 5) Heat Value Analysis. Based on the research results obtained, the quality of bioethanol produced has the value of density and specific gravity in accordance with the quality standard of bioethanol which is 0.78 in yeast 3% of raw materials. The caloric value that has a close relationship with API Gravity is close to the maximum value of the bioethanol quality standard which is 3702.30 kcal/kg in yeast of 5%. The value of the largest ethanol content was obtained at the total yeast content of 5% which is 24.8%. The lowest water content value is obtained at the total yeast content of 3% which is 75%.

Are you a die-hard K-pop fan? Examining English Korean code mixing uttered by an American native speaker youtuber
Authors: Khadijah Khadijah , Sudarwati Emy
Published: February 2022

This study analyzes the types and reasons for code-mixing used by the speaker with a concern for the interlocutors, who are a native speaker and a non-native speaker. The significance of comparing the speaker's code-mixing aims to know if changes in the interlocutors affect the types and reasons for code-mixing adopted. This analysis applied the qualitative descriptive method to analyze data taken from two YouTube videos of an American native speaker namely Edward Avila entitled Chopping all my friend’s hair off and giving him makeover with Korean native speaker as the interlocutor and catching up with Sorn + A soft glam lewk with Korean non-native speaker as the interlocutor. For Korean native speaker interlocutor, the most frequently used code-mixing type is alternation, while for Korean non-native speaker interlocutor is insertion. However, the data identified three specific reasons for code-mixing with Korean native speaker interlocutor, notably clarification of the speech content, interjection, and quotation of someone else. Meanwhile, there are two specific causes for code-mixing revealed in the data of Korean non-native speaker interlocutor, namely discussion of a specific topic and repetition used for clarification. The varied types of interlocutors had an impact on the forms of code-mixing and the reasons for code-mixing in the dialogue

Published: February 2022

Visando investigar soluções que melhorem os problemas do processamento e armazenamento de frutas após a colheita o presente trabalho realizou uma revisão bibliográfica acerca do uso da quitosana na qualidade pós-colheita de frutas, apontando os seus principais resultados em diversas pesquisas. Para isto, foram utilizados critérios de inclusão na busca nos bancos de dados bases de dados Portal de Periódicos da Capes, Scielo e Google Acadêmico. O biopolímero é extraído da quitina, encontrado principalmente nas cascas de crustáceos e após as etapas de desproteinização, desmineralização, descoloração e desacetilação e apresenta propriedades de biocompatibilidade, atoxicidade, versatilidade, adsorção, biodegradável, entre outras. Devido a estas é aplicada em diversos setores inclusive na agricultura, atuando na produção vegetal, como bioestimulante, inibindo crescimento de microorganismos e melhorando o crescimento, desenvolvimento e produtividade de diversas plantas. Também, pode ser aplicada em frutas, em função da rápida deterioração que ocorre como consequência das reações durante seu amadurecimento, perdendo a sua qualidade como consequência. Desta forma, foram levantados 11 trabalhos que demonstram que a quitosana possibilita a preservação de diferentes frutas por meio da formação de coberturas ao seu redor, mantendo suas características físicas e físico-químicas, reduzindo infecções, estendendo desta forma a vida útil e o seu período de amadurecimento. Diante disto, possui um desempenho positivo no campo agronômico, em pesquisas com ênfase na pós-colheita, sendo uma notável alternativa as atuais técnicas de uso de agroquímicos.

Nos últimos anos, os estudos na área agronômica se intensificaram na busca por melhorias para o aumento da produção das culturas, assim como, menor impacto ambiental. Os biopolímeros surgem então como uma alternativa, apresentando propriedades que atraíram os pesquisadores e produtores, com destaque para a quitosana, um aminopolissacarídeo natural extraído da quitina, caracterizado por ser um biopolímero renovável, de baixo custo, ampla obtenção (exoesqueletos dos insetos, crustáceos e parede celular de fungos), atóxico, biodegradável e biocompatível. Diante disto, o presente estudo buscou realizar uma revisão bibliográfica acerca dos principais achados sobre a aplicação da quitosana em sementes, principalmente sua ação no processo de germinação destas. Para isto, foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados Portal de Periódicos da Capes, Scielo e Google Acadêmico, onde foram selecionados 14 trabalhos que apresentavam o uso da quitosana em sementes de interesse comercial, alimentício e para reflorestamento. Como resultado, observou-se que o biopolímero em questão atuou como bioestimulante na produção vegetal, melhorando o crescimento e desenvolvimento de plantas, seja por meio de aplicações em sementes ou associado a utilização após sua germinação, assim como, melhorando consideravelmente a produtividade de diversas culturas. Diante disto, a quitosana possui um desempenho efetivo no campo agronômico com ênfase na aplicação em sementes, sendo uma notável alternativa as atuais técnicas de uso de agroquímicos.

Authors: Castro Joelma Fátima , Paula Ercília Maria Angeli Teixeira de
Published: February 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o papel do professor para a garantia do direito à educação às crianças em tratamento de saúde, além de discutir a importância da brinquedoteca hospitalar para a garantia do direito ao brincar e à promoção da cultura nesse contexto, considerando os desafios dessas ações em diferentes tempos. Os trabalhos de professores no atendimento pedagógico hospitalar, domiciliar e em casas de apoio para crianças enfermas, e os brinquedistas que atuam nas brinquedotecas hospitalares, existem há muito tempo no Brasil, com legislações específicas. Muitas crianças durante as fases de internação hospitalar ou de tratamento da doença, têm tido os seus processos de escolarização interrompidos devido à ausência de políticas públicas efetivas para essa área e um desconhecimento de seus direitos. A maioria da população, todavia, ainda desconhece esse direito à educação, ao lúdico, aos professores e brinquedistas. É preciso, portanto, discutir essas questões, para que os desafios, principalmente quanto ao reconhecimento desse trabalho, sejam superados.

Structural-geomorphological and morphometric analyses of the North-West and Central Caucasus (to the meridian of Elbrus) and adjacent areas of the foothills and the Black Sea basin, supplemented by computer statistical processing of field fracturing measurements, revealed the longitudinal and transverse zonal of the latest dislocations, which is inherited from ancient stages of development. The distribution of earthquakes is subordinate to the neotectonic zonal. It has been established that the cracking of different age rocks determines the orientation of the modern erosion network, and the lines of its elongation, built with the help of the LESSA program, correlate with the field of tectonic stresses. Morphometric analysis showed a high degree of statistical correlation between the density of earthquakes and the magnitude of the vertical dissection of the relief, the speed of modern vertical movements, which makes it possible to recommend these parameters for forecasting seismicity.
New data on the formation conditions of the Drazhnoye deposit gold mineralization (Republic Sakha, Yakutia)
Authors: Sivkov D. V. , Prokof’ev V. Yu. , Chikatueva V. Yu.
Published: January 2022

New results of thermal, baric, and geochemical studies indicate that quartz veins within the deposit were formed in mesozonal conditions at depths 3–9 km from heterogeneous CO2–H2O fluids containing water and carbon dioxide with low concentrations of salts and high concentrations of CO2, which is typical for ore-forming fluids of orogenic vein gold deposits. According to the phase composition, there are three types of fluid inclusions: 1) carbon dioxide- water; 2) gas-filled with dense carbon dioxide; 3) biphasic gas-liquid water-salt solutions. There are Na, Mg, and Fe chlorides predominated in the ore-forming fluids. It is assumed that the fluids migrated along the regional Adycha-Taryn shear zone, uplifting to the Earth’s surface at supra-lithostatic pressures, followed by the deposition of ore elements and the vein quartz formation during tectonic movements along shear zones.
