Chattian-Aquitanian calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy of the Nukhul Formation in Wadi Baba Section, West Central Sinai, Egypt
Authors: Ayyad Haitham M. , Hewaidy Abdel Galil
Published: January 2024

The Nukhul Formation crops out in west-central Sinai (Egypt), but its age is inadequately resolved due to the scarcity of diagnostic planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannofossil taxa, and the common occurrence of reworked specimens. The detailed analysis of the calcareous nannofossil content of one section measured in Wadi Baba, located in west-central Sinai, allows identification of 41 calcareous nannofossil species belonging to 18 different genera. Our results indicate that this section spans from Zone NP25 (Sphenolithus ciperoensis) to Zone NN2 (Discoaster druggii), suggesting a Chattian and Aquitanian ages for the Nukhul Formation in the studied section. Eleven bioevents are recognized throughout the studied section which have improved the biostratigraphic resolution attainable using standard zonation. In particular, the following biohorizons are found in the lower part of the succession, within Zone NP25 (Sphenolithus ciperoensis): LCO of Sphenolithus ciperoensis, LO of Chiasmolithus altus, LCO of Cyclicargolithus abisectus, LO of Reticulofenestra hesslandii, LO of Reticulofenestra bisecta, LO of Zygrhablithus bijugatus, FO of Triquetrorhabdulus carinatus, FO of Helicosphaera truempyi, FO of Helicosphaera granulata, LO of Pontosphaera enormis and LO of Calcidiscus gallagheri). Two additional bioevents were detected in the upper part of the Nukhul Formation within Zone NN2: FO of Discoaster druggii and FO of Helicosphaera ampliaperta). These data are consistent with the hypothesis that the Suez Rift System was started in the late Oligocene, as the deposition of the Nukhul Formation was started due to the opening of the Gulf basin during the Chattian. A prominent unconformity surface is traceable near the top of the Nukhul Formation at Wadi Baba section that indicates a hiatus of ca. 2.7 Myr based on the biostratigraphic data.
Planktonic foraminiferal zonation and sea-level changes in the upper Maastrichtian-middle Danian successions of Meghalaya, India
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Sanjay Kumar
Published: January 2024

The biostratigraphic study of the upper Maastrichtian- middle Danian shelf successions of Therriaghat and Mahadeo in Meghalaya, India allowed for the identification of sixty seven species of planktonic foraminifera and recognized the following four zones and eleven subzones: in upperMaastrichtian, Racemiguembelina fructicosa, Pseudoguembelina hariaensis, Pseudoguembelina palpebra and Plummerita hantkeninoides Subzones within the Abathomphalus mayaroensis Zone; in lower-middle Danian Hedbergella holmdelensis and Parvularugoglobigerina longiapertura Subzones within the Guembelitria cretacea Zone, Eoglobigerina fringa and Eoglobigerina praeedita Subzones within the Parvularugoglobigerina eugubina Zone and Parasubbotina pseudobulloides Subzone, Subbotina triloculinoides and Globanomalina compressa Subzones within the uppermost Eoglobigerina edita Zone. The sections are biostratigraphically continuous across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, but the tectonic development of the unstable Therriaghat and Mahadeo blocks caused local tectono-eustatic differences between the two blocks in litho- and biostratigraphy, foraminiferal dispersal, sea-level changes and depositional environments. The succession of the Therriaghat block,where 4 zones and 11 subzoneswere identified, is more complete than the succession of theMahadeo block, which comprises 3 zones and 6 subzones. The ratio of planktonic to benthic foraminifera allowed for the recognition of five transgressive-regressive cycles, most of which have subcycles and pulses. These cycles were calibrated using the planktonic foraminiferal zonation, allowing for detailed documentation of the local history of sea-level change. The extra-basinal tectono-thermal influence, frequent local sea-level changes, suspended clay and microspherules, and greenhouse effect of volcanism caused an increase of temperature and biotic stress in the shelf waters and consequently turnover in the planktonic foraminiferal assemblages, occasional migration and re-appearance, widespread predation, morphological aberrations, dwarfed and anomalous tests, abraded forms andmorphogroups. These paleoenvironmental changesmay have modified the local range of taxa, and the extension of biozones, so that some of the recognized subzones can be local, such as Eoglobigerina fringa and Eoglobigerina praeedita Subzones. Nonetheless, the planktonic foraminiferal assemblages that maintained usual trend of evolution are useful to unravel the complexities of local eustatic history.
Paleogene Nummulitid biostratigraphy of the Kohat and Potwar Basins in north-western Pakistan with implications for the timing of the closure of eastern Tethys and uplift of the western Himalayas

Published: January 2024

The Paleogene larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) of the Kohat and Potwar basins, Pakistan are very useful in dating shallow marine sediments and cessation of marine sedimentation that provides constraint for crucial information on the initial age of India-Asia collision. We record important Paleogene LBF species in multiple sections of the two basins. We performed the biometric analysis of the nummulitid species useful for taxonomic purposes. We recognize six Larger Benthic Foraminiferal Zone (BFZ Zone 1-6) in the Kohat Basin. Among these Zones the first three (BFZ Zone 1-3) occur also in the Potwar Basin and the adjoining Trans Indus Ranges (TIR). The correlation of BFZ 1-6 Zones with the previous local and regional LBF biostratigraphic schemes in the Eastern Tethys (Pakistan-India) and Western Tethys (European Basins) resulted in recognition of useful index taxa for developing a regional stratigraphic framework during Paleogene. In the BFZ 1 Zone, The last occurrence (LO) of Miscellanea miscella and first occurrence (FO) of Assilina dandotica in the BFZ 2 Zone mark the Late Paleocene (Late Thenetian) Early Eocene (Lower Illerdiuan1) Boundary. The co-occurrence of A. pustulosa, Al. vredenburgi, Al. globula and Al. pasticillata in the BFZ 2 Zone characterizes the Early Eocene (Lower IlIerdian 1-Middle Illerdian 1) sediments. The synchronous FO of N. atacicus and N. globulus is an excellent global biostratigraphic marker of the Early Eocene (Middle Illerdian 1 Middle Illerdian 2) Boundary and the FO of O. complanatus is a useful biostratigraphic marker for the Early Eocene (Lower Cuisian 2-Middle Cuisian) Boundary in the BFZ 3 Zone. Mammalian bones found at the base of Koldana Formation in the Kohat Basin represent Early Eocene (Upper Cuisian), which is in agreement with the LBF biostratigraphy of the underlying Middle Cuisian strata. The FO of A. exponens in the BFZ 4 Zone record the Middle Eocene (Middle Lutetian 1) sediments while FO of N. beaumonti in the BFZ 5 Zone marks the Middle Lutetian 1Middle Lutetian 2 Boundary. The FO of A. cancellata in the BFZ 6 Zone marks Middle Lutetian 2Upper Lutetian Boundary. The implications of our LBF study are that cessation of marine sedimentation in both Pakistani basins occurred in Early Eocene (Middle Cuisian ≈BFZ 3) around 50-49.5 Ma. Notably, marine conditions returned in the Kohat Basin in Middle Eocene (Middle Lutetian 1 ≈ BFZ 4) due to an eustatic sea level rise. The final cessation of marine sedimentation, causing closure of the Eastern Tethys seaway in the Kohat Basin occurred in Middle Eocene (Upper Lutetian ≈BFZ 6) around 41.2 Ma, probably a result of some form of post-collisional stress.

Published: January 2024

The Pliocene, specifically the late Pliocene, has been a focus of paleoclimate research formore than 25 years. Synoptic regional and global reconstructions along with high-resolution time-series have produced nuanced conceptual models of paleoenvironmental conditions and enhanced our understanding of climate variability and climate sensitivity from the Late Pliocene, the most recent interval of global warmth similar to what is projected for the end of the 21st century. These data are used as a source of boundary conditions for climate models as well as ameans of verification of global climate model experiments. In this note, we introduce a measure of stratigraphic fidelity, ß, used to characterize the chronology and achievable resolution of an ever-growing library of Pliocene paleoenvironmental time-series. The ß index serves as an aid to end-users by allowing selection of time-series that meet the stratigraphic requirements of a particular study.

Bottling the “Collaboration Thing”
Authors: Needham George
Published: January 2024

Many years ago, I was speaking to a group of insurance executives about how libraries handle the aftermath of disasters like floods or fires. I talked about the various collaborative arrangements that exist among libraries, how we back each one another up in times of trouble, the long history of interlibrary loan, cooperative agencies, and the myriad ways we’ve devised to cooperate. After a few minutes, it seemed that I’d suddenly begun speaking in Sanskrit, because I realized I’d lost my audience.

Published: January 2024

"Dumbaya (Momordica cochinchinensis (Lour.) Spreng) is one of the plant species believed by the Gorontalo community to be a traditional remedy for various ailments such as inflammation, liver disorders, spleen issues, hemorrhoids, bruising, and infected wounds. Currently, the dumbaya plant is difficult to find and is even considered nearly extinct by the Gorontalo community. This is due to the challenging conventional cultivation of dumbaya plants from seeds. Dumbaya seeds have a hard, stone-like texture, making germination in the wild difficult and requiring special treatment. Regeneration of dumbaya can be achieved through tissue culture techniques, replacing the conventional cultivation system.Through tissue culture, dumbaya seeds are grown in specialized planting media and controlled environments. Based on observations, the propagation of dumbaya plants using in vitro culture techniques has proven successful and effective as a solution for propagating dumbaya seedlings. Dumbaya seeds begin to germinate two weeks after planting (2 WAP). The grown dumbaya seedlings can then be used as explants for further dumbaya propagation by inducing callus formation."

Published: January 2024

This research aims to identify and document the local food security system in the Semende traditional community based on tunggu tubang indigenous knowledge. The study was conducted in 3 districts of Muara Enim, South Sumatra, involving 81 people from 5 villages practicing the tunggu tubang custom. Using a mixed method, the research took place from July to August 2023.The findings revealed that while tunggu tubang adherents still inherit rice fields and agricultural land, some no longer own rice fields. Inheriting rice fields has led to sufficient food availability but does not guarantee good food security. 50.6% of respondents experienced mild food insecurity due to the traditional sandwich generation where they have to support their parents and closest family. Despite this, most children (56.6%) showed good nutritional status. This research identifies and documents the local food security system in the Semende traditional community. It reveals the importance of tunggu tubang in maintaining food availability but acknowledges the challenges in achieving food security. The findings provide valuable insights for developing educational initiatives to address climate change and food security

Published: January 2024

This study examines respondent and university type responses to science process skills instruments integrated with automated feedback on science practicum performance assessments at 2 state college and 2 private college in West Nusa Tenggara Province. A Kruskal-Wallis test was performed utilizing case study and cluster random sampling. Data was collected using online survey, interviews, and direct observations. Three hundred seventy-six university students and teachers from four universities were studied. Since there was no standard instrument, science process skills performance was not assessed. The assessment results show no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) between state and private college in measuring science process skills integrated with real-time feedback on science practicum. This suggests that neither university has conducted such an assessment. No significant difference in responses between university students and lecturers regarding the measurement of science process skills on performance assessments integrated with real-time feedback in science practicum (p > 0.05), implying that university students and lecturers have the same experience. This study advises developing science process skills measurement on performance assessment for real-time science practicum feedback.

Background: A malocclusion known as a deep bite occurs when the mandibular incisors are covered by the maxillary incisors by more than the normal value of 30-40% or 2-4 mm. Deep bite is a type of malocclusion that is often found in children and adults, with a prevalence of 23.83% in the Asian population. Patients with a deep bite have a restricted masticatory pattern and have excess function of the mastication muscles. Active muscle training should be recommended to improve jaw bone morphology. Objective: This review aims to explain the role of the Function Generating Bite (FGB) device on changes in masticatory patterns and muscle activity in deep bite malocclusion. Methods: The search for literature reviews was conducted using the ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. The selected literature was published between 2010 - 2023 in English and Indonesian. Discussion: Treatment of deep bite in each patient varies depending on the etiology of the malocclusion. One of the functional therapies that can be used to correct malocclusion is FGB. The FGB device has an anchorage system on the muscles, which can regulate and exert pressure intermittently, so as to correct dental malocclusion and functional imbalance. Conclusion: Treatment with FGB has been shown to significantly improve the lateral component of the masticatory pattern and reduce muscle hyperactivity in deep bite patients during mastication.

Sheep are a significant food source for humans, besides cattle and poultry. Despite its significance to Malaysian Muslims, who make up approximately 60% of the local population, the sheep supply is limited by the high mortality rate caused by fatal diseases such as foot and mouth disease (FMD) and tetanus. Infected sheep can spread food-borne bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, at various preparation phases, contaminating the meat. The objectives of this study are to identify internal and external factors that influence sheep breed lineage continuity, investigate current practices for collecting and managing data knowledge on sheep breed and hereditary diseases, and propose a sheep breed and disease data knowledge model based on the feedforward artificial neural network (FANN) deep learning method. This study utilized qualitative and quantitative data to obtain in-depth answers to the research questions, which involves collecting all the information required for the system development using the FANN deep learning method. This study found that breeding is the leading data group for tracking each sheep's ADG and BCS. Feed type, sanitization, and medication influence sheep’s daily increase and health. Collaboration, worker knowledge, and climate are recognized as external factors that potentially influence sheep's daily increase. The interview analysis also suggested attributes that could contribute to detecting breed lineage, including breed, category, ADG, and BCS. Therefore, it is recommended that future research adopt this method for other farmed animals.
Hybrid Deep Learning Approach For Stress Detection Model Through Speech Signal

Stress is a psychological condition that requires proper treatment due to its potential long-term effects on health and cognitive faculties. This is particularly pertinent when considering pre- and early-school-age children, where stress can yield a range of adverse effects. Furthermore, detection in children requires a particular approach different from adults because of their physical and cognitive limitations. Traditional approaches, such as psychological assessments or the measurement of biosignal parameters prove ineffective in this context. Speech is also one of the approaches used to detect stress without causing discomfort to the subject and does not require prerequisites for a certain level of cognitive ability. Therefore, this study introduced a hybrid deep learning approach using supervised and unsupervised learning in a stress detection model. The model predicted the stress state of the subject and provided positional data point analysis in the form of a cluster map to obtain information on the degree using CNN and GSOM algorithms. The results showed an average accuracy and F1 score of 94.7% and 95%, using the children's voice dataset. To compare with the state-of-the-art, model were tested with the open-source DAIC Woz dataset and obtained average accuracy and F1 scores of 89% and 88%. The cluster map generated by GSOM further underscored the discerning capability in identifying stress and quantifying the degree experienced by the subjects, based on their speech patterns

The research objective is to identify primary history students' readiness to use QR code-based e-job sheets in terms of knowledge, experience, and supporting facilities. The research material consists of digital technology devices, smartphones, internet networks, electronic worksheets, QR Code applications, and an assessment of historical learning. This research applied a quantitative approach. Research respondents included significant history students at the Faculty of Social Sciences Universitas Negeri Padang from 2018 to 2022, including 140 students. Data were collected through a Google Form application questionnaire and shared with the students via WhatsApp. The data were analyzed quantitatively by using percentages and averages. General findings showed that many students were ready to use QR code-based e-job sheets, but others still needed them. The particular findings included: 1) more than half of respondents knew what the e-job sheet was, but two-thirds of them had no experience using the e-job sheet, 2) related to QR codes, it was found that half of the respondents knew what QR code was, but a part of them had no experience using QR codes, and 3) two-thirds of the respondents stated that supporting facilities such campus internet and their smartphone were unable to support the use of QR codes-based e-job sheets. QR code-based e-job sheets have become essential in optimizing digital technology in learning activities. Further research is needed to measure the effectiveness of using QR code-based e-job sheets as an alternative strategy and instrument for assessing learning outcomes in the digital era.
