Phonetic and Morphological Features of Subdialects of the Tikhvinsky District at the Turn of the XX-XXI Centuries
Authors: Lebedeva Tatiana Evgenevna
Published: April 2022

The purpose of the research is to describe the phonetic and morphological dialect features of subdialects of the Tikhvinsky District of Leningrad Oblast in their current state, using new empirical data. The paper analyses the recordings of dialect speech made during dialectological expeditions to the Tikhvinsky District at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries and identifies the phonetic and morphological features of the subdialects at this stage of their existence in the setting of their interaction with other forms of the Russian national language. Scientific novelty lies in introducing into scientific use new data on the subdialects of Leningrad Oblast and in identifying the most stable features of the studied dialect system. The research findings reflect the dynamics of the subdialects in the studied area and create the basis for mapping the corresponding phonetic and morphological phenomena.
Precedent Name Жириновский/Zhirinovsky in the Foreign and Russian Media: Comparative Analysis
Authors: Nikolaeva Elena Yurevna
Published: April 2022

The aim of the study is to identify the features of using the precedent name Жириновский/Zhirinovsky in the foreign and Russian media based on the materials of linguistic corpora. The author dwells on using the precedent name in denotative and connotative meanings. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time the features of using the precedent name Жириновский/Zhirinovsky in the foreign and Russian media are revealed. As a result of the study, it was determined that a characteristic feature of the foreign and Russian media is the denotative use of the precedent name with the direct reference to the denotation with negative assessment.
The Future of the European Union: A Critical Trade Union View
Authors: Medhurst John , Tortolano Enrico
Published: April 2022

This paper offers a radical critique of the current framework of economic policy within the European Union and its negative effect on social cohesion. It defends the aspirations of the “Social Europe” model but suggests this model is now withering on the vine, not least because employers and governments no longer support it and have withdrawn from genuine social partnership. The paper asserts that the undemocratic nature of European policy making institutions is a fundamental bloc to progressive reform of the EU, and criticises the economic philosophy inherent in the Lisbon Agenda and recent controversial European Court of Justice decisions that have expanded that agenda. Lastly, it sketches some alternatives to this direction of travel, drawn from successful models within and outside Europe.

Labour Market Trends and Problems in the EU’s Central and Eastern European Member States: Is Flexicurity the Answer?
Authors: Funk Lothar
Published: April 2022

Throughout the 1990s, international organisations, such as the International Monetary Fund mainly based their policy proposals for transition economies and the high unemployment, low growth countries in Western Europe, on economic “orthodoxy”. This approach predominantly followed neoclassical economics in which market liberal solutions predominate. These suggestions were controversial; the early results of these policies appeared to be disappointing. Policymakers sought alternative reform proposals and the idea of “flexicurity” has gradually emerged to the political buzzword. Flexicurity combines flexibility with security and suggests that rather generous unemployment benefits and spending on active labour market policies can be aligned with a flexible, employment-friendly labour market. Originating in Denmark, the European Commission and the International Labour Organisation have promoted flexicurity more or less independent of specific single country cases, and based their approach on more abstract, generalised relationships between flexibility and security. These bodies argue for an alternative policy to pure orthodox deregulation and liberalisation for the member states of the European Union (EU) and the former transition economies that joined the EU since 2004. After a review of common labour market-related characteristics and problems of the EU’s central and eastern European members, the article summarises and critically evaluates the main elements of flexicurity suggestions. It further compares them to the relevant policy proposals based primarily on more orthodox economic analysis. The analysis shows that several preconditions for a successful flexicurity strategy are still lacking across the new member states. Moreover, the article demonstrates that current proposals by the critics of a single-minded flexicurity approach by no means always disregard potentially positive effects of improving the supposed trade-offs between flexibility and security. At least a limited convergence between flexicurity and a renewed orthodoxy in the economic mainstream can be detected.

EU Aid Conditionality in ACP Countries: Explaining Inconsistency in EU Sanctions Practice
Authors: Del Biondo Karen
Published: April 2022

The EU is often criticised for using negative conditionality only in poor, strategically less important countries in the ACP region. However, whether and why there is inconsistency within the group of ACP countries has not been properly investigated. Therefore, this article investigates the reasons for the EU’s non-application of Article 96 of the Cotonou Agreement in five countries that can be considered typical cases where negative conditionality is generally imposed, namely countries that experienced flawed elections over the last ten years: Ethiopia, Rwanda, Nigeria, Kenya and Chad. On the one hand, the study confirms previous findings that security interests tend to trump the EU’s efforts to promote democratisation. On the other hand, the article adds that democratisation might not only conflict with the EU’s interests, but also with its objective to promote development and poverty reduction.
Contracting out Support Services in Future Expeditionary Operations: Learning from the Afghan Experience
Authors: Kinsey Christopher , Erbel Mark
Published: April 2022

As with the US led Coalition war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan has seen an unprecedented number of private contractors being utilised in support of military operations in the country. In the case of the United States government for example, over half of its personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq are contract employees, while the same figure in the UK stands at 30 per cent and is set to increase in the coming years. This level of contractor involvement in the ‘War on Terror’ is not inconsequential. Indeed, their contribution to military operations is so large they are now able to influence NATO’s counter-insurgency operations and thus its overall strategy for fighting the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. Importantly, such involvement can be both beneficial and/or detrimental. This article first sets out to explore how NATO came to rely on so many contractors in Afghanistan and the risks this involves for the ‘War on Terror’.
Lobbying for the Rights of Refugees: An Analysis of the Lobbying Strategies of Pro-migrant Groups on the Qualification Directive and its Recast
Authors: Hoffmann Ulrike
Published: April 2022

At the 1999 Tampere Council Summit, the Heads of the European Union (EU) Member States agreed to create common standards for refugees and persons in need of subsidiary protection by 2012. In 2004, as part of the Common European Asylum System, a first version of the Qualification Directive was adopted. In its effort to further approximate the rights of refugees and beneficiaries of subsidiary protection, the Commission opened a recast process on the Qualification Directive in 2009. The negotiations of both directives have been followed actively by pro-migrant groups. Their intensified political involvement and presence in Brussels did not remain unnoticed by political scientists. However, previous studies mainly focused on the analysis of the factors that affect the emergence of such groups and the variety of their missions. This article, in turn, firstly, identifies those pro-migrant groups active in lobbying on both Qualification Directives; secondly, explores their lobbying strategies; and thirdly, assesses to what extent political opportunity structures affected the lobbying choice of the pro-migrant groups. Analysing the lobbying efforts of the pro-migrant groups on the original Qualification Directive and its post-Lisbon recast allows for an evaluation of whether the groups have benefited from the modified decision-making procedures. The study is based on a documentary analysis of the strategy papers and recommendations of the groups, as well as on 28 in-depth expert interviews with EU officials and interest representatives.
Union Citizenship as a Source of Rights? Case C-434/09, Shirley McCarthy v Secretary of State for the Home Department, Judgment of the Court (Third Chamber), 5 May 2011, nyr
Authors: Taroni Catherine
Published: April 2022

McCarthy attempted to rely upon rights under Directive 2004/38 within a home state, but this was not a straightforward case of a purely internal situation, the applicant having acquired Irish nationality and claiming that she was a Union citizen living within the UK as a host Member State. The use of dual citizenship as a potential linking element with Union law follows from earlier developments in citizenship case law. Union citizenship has helped those who do not fully meet requirements of secondary legislation. The ‘trigger’ of cross-border movement has been weakened to some extent in the identity cases, and others such as Carpenter. McCarthy’s attempt to rely upon Union law without ever having moved, just by being a Union citizen, gave the Court of Justice of the European Union a chance to dispel ideas that being a dual Member State national was automatically a linking factor with EU law.
The rotating Presidency and the EU’s external representation in environmental affairs: the case of climate change and biodiversity negotiations
Authors: Delreux Tom
Published: April 2022

This paper examines the role of the rotating Presidency in the external representation of the EU in international environmental negotiations after the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. Focussing on two negotiation sessions under the 2010 Belgian Presidency, the biodiversity negotiations in Nagoya (October 2010) and the climate change negotiations in Cancún (December 2010), the paper’s aim is fourfold. First, it explains why the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty has not changed the existing practices with an important role for the rotating Presidency. Second, the paper discusses the developments in the debates on the EU’s external representation on environmental matters. Third, it empirically analyses the way the EU was represented in the biodiversity and climate change conferences of 2010. Here, the paper also points at the increasing importance of the so-called ‘practical arrangements’ that settle the external representation of the EU on the floor, often in a very ad hoc manner. Fourth, the paper describes how the European negotiators in Nagoya and Cancún have dealt with their representation task that generates a tension between expectations coming from the international level and pressures originating at the EU level.
European Union and international negotiations on climate change. A limited role to play
Authors: Fernández Rosa María
Published: April 2022

The European Union played a key role on Kyoto Protocol’s entrance into force, and has been a front runner on the implementation of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within its territory. However, the slow progress achieved since the Bali Roadmap was agreed (2007) illustrated a worrying trend that was confirmed by what happened at Copenhagen Summit in 2009. The Cancun Summit in 2010 showed how developing countries also had something to say in order to achieve a positive outcome. All these facts seem to indicate that the EU is losing its influence at international negotiations in the area of climate change, which makes sense if we take into account that its participation on total emissions is smaller each day, and that it is time for the biggest polluters to commit on reduction targets and energy efficiency policies. Nevertheless, the positive results that the measures adopted by the EU are giving in terms of emissions reduction and shift towards a low carbon economy could be taken as example by these countries, reinforcing its assessment role in the future.
The Treaty of Lisbon and the European Border Control Regime
Authors: Takle Marianne
Published: April 2022

The question raised in the article is how the new provisions of the Lisbon Treaty and the Stockholm programme concerning the EU’s asylum and migration policy might consolidate existing trends within the European border control regime. The regime is defined by a combination of three features: (i) a harmonisation of categories among the EU/Schengen member states, (ii) a growing use of new technology in networked databases and (iii) an increasing sorting of individuals based on security concerns. Although none of these features is new, the combination gives a new impetus to the European border control regime. The article concludes that the Lisbon Treaty and the Stockholm programme consolidate and strengthen existing trends. This implies that policies on border control, asylum, immigration, judicial cooperation and police cooperation are consolidated in a broader approach to border control, and that there is a strengthening of EU foreign policy within the European border control regime. The boundaries between previously dispersed policy areas are blurred. The combination of different aspects of security and various levels of authority requires coordination of policies with substantially different goals, and goes beyond mere border control.
Resisting Nazi Racism in Post-Habsburg Spaces: Connecting the Debates in Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Yugoslavia in the Early 1930s
Authors: Pojar Vojtěch
Published: April 2022

After the Nazis rose to power in Germany, post-Habsburg Central Europe became a major site of resistance against Nazi racial theories. So far, historians have treated these voices as isolated cases. My paper focuses on several texts discussing race, racism, and eugenics that were written in Czechoslovakia in the early 1930s. I contextualize these texts and trace their circulation in post-Habsburg spaces, particularly in Yugoslavia and Austria. Mapping the publications of individuals such as Hugo Iltis, Vladislav Růžička, Mirko Kus-Nikolajev, Božo Škerlj, Irene Harand, and Viktor Lebzelter, I demonstrate that these initiatives were entangled and enabled by shared knowledge and networks. Crucially, I argue that Habsburg imperial legacies played a vital role in making these exchanges possible.

Objetivo: Verificar o uso tópico do plasma rico em plaquetas no processo de reparação tecidual de feridas crônicas. Método: revisão narrativa nas bases de dados Scielo, Lilacs e Medline através dos descritores controlados em saúde. A busca resultou na seleção de uma amostra formada por 10 estudos, conforme critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Resultados: Ficou evidente que escassez de pesquisas que abordem a temática e discrepância entre estudos encontrados, visto que uns afirmam que o plasma rico em plaquetas é eficaz e outros relatam não haver eficácia clínica. Mediante isso, pode-se concluir que esses falsos-negativos podem ocorrer por não ter um protocolo específico para obtenção do plasma rico em plaquetas, podendo alterar a concentração de plaquetas. Conclusão: Há necessidade de mais estudos com uma amostra e tempo maior de observação, como também ver a necessidade de estabelecer um protocolo de obtenção que deve ser seguido em todos as pesquisas.

Mâtüridî Bir Tefsir Geleneğinin Kurucusu Mudur? Mâtüridî’yi Esas Alması Bağlamında Ömer en-Nesefî’nin Tevîl Meselesine Yaklaşımı Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: DİNÇ Ömer
Published: April 2022

Tefsir tarihinin en özgün ve seçkin simalarından olan İmam Mâtürîdî’yi (ö. 333/944), kaleme aldığı Te’vîlâtu’l-Kur’ân eseriyle tefsir edebiyatını belirleyen bir müfessir olarak tanımlamak gerekir. Kur’an tefsiri açısından belirlediği yöntem ve anlayışla, hem kendi dönemindeki müfessirlerden ayrılmakta hem de kendisinden sonra gelen müfessirlerin referans aldığı bir konumda yer almaktadır. Zira Mâtürîdî’nin özellikle “tevîl” meselesindeki anlayışının sonraki tefsir edebiyatını belirlediği düşünülürse Mâtürîdî’nin kendisinden sonraki müfessirlerin tefsir sahasına olan bakışını da bir yönüyle belirlediği anlaşılmaktadır. Ayrıca Mâtürîdî, Hanefî mezhebine mensup bir müellif olarak oluşturduğu kelamî anlayışıyla birlikte, kendi mezhebi bağlamında günümüze ulaşan ilk tam tefsir eserinin sahibidir. Bu noktada Mâtürîdiyye kelam ekolünün kurucu şahsı olan Mâtürîdî’nin, Hanefî kimliğinden kopmadan kendine özgü bir tefsir geleneğinin de kurucusu olduğu varsayımından hareket edebiliriz. Görebildiğimiz kadarıyla bu varsayımı destekleyecek somut bir örnek olarak Mâtürîdîlik mezhebinin en önemli temsilcisi olan ve aynı zamanda bir tefsir eseri kaleme alan Ömer en-Nesefî’yi (ö. 537/1142) merkeze alabiliriz. Mâtürîdî’nin kelamî düşüncesini geliştiren ve sonraki nesillere taşınmasında kilit bir rol oynayan Nesefî’nin, telif ettiği et-Teysîr fi’t-Tefsîr eserinde Mâtürîdî’nin tefsir perspektifini benimsediği ve Mâtürîdî’nin tefsir-tevîl ayrımında çizdiği teorik çerçeveyi geliştirdiği görülmektedir. Biz de bu çalışmamızda Nesefî’nin sözünü ettiğimiz eserinde “tevîl” meselesine yaklaşımını incelemek suretiyle onun Mâtürîdî’yi hangi açılardan ne kadar referans aldığı, onu tefsirde ne ölçüde otorite kabul ettiği, Mâtürîdî’nin bir tefsir geleneği oluşturma başarısının Nesefî’deki izlerinin neler olduğunun tespitine yer vereceğiz.
Facile production of CsPbBr3 perovskite single-crystals in a hydrobromic solution
Authors: ÖZEN Murat , AKYEL Cansu , AKBULUT ÖZEN Songül
Published: April 2022

In this study, synthesis of CsPbBr3 perovskite single-crystals in a hydrobromic solution was investigated. Single-crystal growth experiments were conducted at the solution-nucleation border at a constant temperature or controlled cooling conditions. Working at the solution-nucleation border poses some practical difficulties such as fast precipitation. Often researchers opt to oversaturate the solution and use the supernatant after filtration. However, for conditions where the A to B ratio in the precursor solution for the formation of ABX3 is not 1, oversaturation is a waste of resources. In this work, precursor solutions were prepared for a particular working temperature and either held at a constant temperature or were gradually cooled to a predetermined temperature. The constant temperature method resulted in large and clear crystals as it reached saturation more slowly. Crystals prepared at high temperatures appeared to be more transparent with clear facets. Crystals prepared at low temperatures appeared to be opaque with multiple nuclei growth on a single-crystal. Seeding of the saturated solution resulted in larger single-crystals. The procedure adapted in this work made possible the production of clear CsPbBr3 perovskite single-crystals in a hydrobromic acid solution with sizes of up to 5 mm in only 10 days.
An alternative method for the particle size distribution: Image processing
Authors: AYDIN Mert , KURNAZ T. Fikret
Published: April 2022

Granular soils are used in different areas of civil engineering due to their easy accessibility and low cost as a material. The sieve analysis method, which has been conducted in rock physics measurements for many years, has been practicing determining the particle size distributions for those materials. In this study, a method based on image analysis technique has been developed as an alternative to traditional sieve analysis method for determining the particle size distribution in granular soils. This technique based on image processing to determine particle distributions via the experimental setup that consist of a camera, tripod, light box and mechanical shaking apparatus. In order to assess the reliability of this technique, each sample was subjected to traditional sieve analysis and the results of both analysis methods were compared. In conclusion, it was observed that the results obtained with the image processing technique had a minimum 95.22% closeness with the sieve analysis experiment data.
A four-wall virtual reality visualization of patient-specific anatomy: Creating full user immersive experience from computed tomography scans
Authors: TANBOUR Hesham , TANBOUR Emad
Published: April 2022

Virtual reality is the future of medical imaging diagnosis. Previous studies have introduced virtual reality rendering of anatomical models while others have mentioned processes to extract 3D models from Computed Tomography (CT) images. In this study, we provide a detailed workflow to transforming patient-specific two-dimensional (2D) CT dicom format imaging files to three-dimensional (3D) immersive, dynamic and interactive anatomical assembly models while incorporating them into a four-wall virtual reality environment system. Our study implemented 3D CAD and virtual reality capacities through software and engineering design tools to transform 2D medical images into interactive 3D models in our system. In doing so, the user was able to gain a sense of depth, scale, and dimensionality while immersed in the environment and while implementing interactive tools to investigate patient- specific hip-femur dynamics. At the same time, users were able to identify key anatomical landmarks in the patients’ hip joints. Applications of the VR system to the medical field and orthopedics, in particular, were discussed.

Authors: Egorova Maia , Egorov Alexander , Orlova Tatyana , Trifonova Elizaveta
Published: April 2022

It was given brief information about the Chinese language and Chinese language communities (from antiquity to the present day) and it was shown the history of the formation of the Chinese language. The oldest monuments of the Chinese language are the inscriptions on the bones and tortoise shells (Jiaguwen), which were used for fortune telling, as well as inscriptions on bronze vessels (Jinwen). In this paper, for the study of hieroglyphic inscriptions on the most ancient artifacts, it is proposed to use a method based on photometry of the investigated surface of the samples and subsequent digital processing of the obtained data on a computer in order to determine the characteristics and parameters of the test sample. To test the method, we used onyx, jasper, and jade specimens, the surface of which is similar to the surface of ancient specimens. Some features of this method for the study of ancient artifacts are noted. The possibility of obtaining reliable results in the study of the most ancient hieroglyphic signs is shown.

Pendidikan bagi kehidupan umat manusia merupakan suatu kebutuhan yang mutlak, yang harus dipenuhi sepanjang hayat. Tanpa pendidikan sama sekali mustahil suatu kelompok manusia dapat hidup berkembang sejalan dengan aspirasi untuk maju, sejahtera, bahagia menurut konsep pandangan hidup mereka. Untuk memajukan kehidupan mereka itulah maka pendidikan menjadi sarana utama yang perlu dikelola secara sistematis dan konsisten. Untuk itu dalam makalah ini akan disajikan mengenai pendidikan Islam, baik pengertian dan fungsinya, kemudian mengenai tri pusat pendidikan. Pendidikan merupakan faktor utama dalam pembentukkan pribadi manusia. Pendidikan sangat berperan dalam membentuk baik atau buruknya pribadi manusia menurut ukuran normatif. Disisi lain proses perkembangan dan pendidikan manusia tidak hanya terjadi dan dipengaruhi oleh proses pendidikan yang ada dalam sistem pendidikan formal (sekolah) saja. Manusia selama hidupnya selalu akan mendapat pengaruh dari keluarga, sekolah, dan masyarakat luas. Dengan kata lain proses perkembangan pendidikan manusia untuk mancapai hasil yang maksimal tidak hanya tergantung tentang bagaimana sistem pendidikan formal dijalankan. Namun juga tergantung pada lingkungan pendidikan yang berada di luar lingkungan formal. Agama Islam sangat memperhatikan masalah lingkungan yang menjadi awal pembentukan karakter manusia sampai-sampai ada sabda Rosulullah SAW yang menyatakan bahwa baik dan buruknya tergantung pada baik buruknya lingkungan sekitarnya. Pendidikan Islam itu sebagi pembebasan manusia dari ancaman kesesatan yang membawa manusia kepada api Neraka.Pembinaan Ummat manusia menjadi hamba Allah yang memiliki keselarasan dan keseimbangan hidup bahagia didunia dan diakhirat.

Konsep dan Teori uang dalam perspektif Islam
Authors: GEBY
Published: April 2022

Konsep uang dalam ekonomi islam berbeda dengan konsep uang dalam ekonomi konvensional. Dalam ekonomi islam, konsep uang sangat jelas dan tegas bahwa uang adalah uang, uang bukan capital.Sebaliknya, konsep uang yang dikemukakan dalam ekonomi konvensional tidak jelas. Sering kali istilah uang dalam perspektif ekonomi konvensional diartikan secara bolak-balik (interchangeability), yaitu uang sebagai uang dan uang sebagai capital.

Inflasi dan pengangguran merupakan bagian dari masalah makroekonomi yang menjadi perhatian utama bagi negara-negara di dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Inflasi dan pengangguran yang terlalu tinggi, akan berdampak pada fundamental perekonomian negara tersebut. Rendahnya inflasi dan pengangguran terkadang tidak menguntungkan juga, karena inflasi yang rendah akan berdampak pada produktifitas industri negara tersebut.
Elevated MAPK1 expression distinguishes basal-like human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2022

Patients diagnosed with basal-like breast cancer face a more aggressive disease course and more dismal prognosis than patients diagnosed with luminal A and luminal B breast cancer molecular subtypes (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to understand in an unbiased fashion the most distinguishing transcriptional features of tumors from patients with basal or basal-like subtype breast cancer. We observed transcriptome-wide differential expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase 1, MAPK1, when comparing tumors of patients with basal-like breast cancer with that of other PAM50 molecular subtypes. MAPK1 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in the tumors of patients with basal-like breast cancer. Analysis of patient survival data revealed that MAPK1 primary tumor expression was correlated with distant metastasis-free survival in human breast cancer. Elevated MAPK1 expression appears to distinguish basal-like human breast cancer from the other molecular subtypes.
Persistent influence of precession on northern ice sheet variability since the early Pleistocene

Before ~1M years ago, variations in global ice volume were dominated by changes in obliquity but the role of precession remains unresolved. Using a record of North Atlantic ice rafting spanning the last 1.7Myr, we find that the onset of ice rafting within a given glacial cycle (reflecting ice sheet expansion) consistently occurred during times of decreasing obliquity, while mass ice wasting (ablation) events were consistently tied to minima in precession. Furthermore, our results suggest that the ubiquitous association between precession-driven mass wasting events and glacial termination is a unique feature of the mid/late Pleistocene. Before then, (increasing) obliquity alone was sufficient to end a glacial cycle, before losing its dominant grip on deglaciation with the southward extension of northern hemisphere ice sheets since ~1Ma.
Petrographic characteristics in the pumice clast deposited along the Gulf of Thailand, drifted from Fukutoku-Oka-no-Ba

The 2021 eruption of Fukutoku-Oka-no-Ba (FOB) in the northwest Pacific on 13 August 2021 produced a large volume of pumice that drifted westward for ~1300 km to the Nansei Islands, Japan, and some extent. In February 2022, pumice with similar characteristics to the FOB pumice was deposited along along the Gulf of Thailand. The pumice clasts deposited in Songkhla Province, Thailand, were <4 cm in length and rounded. Most of the clasts consisted of clinopyroxene, plagioclase (andesine), and olivine phenocrysts in a vesiculated grey groundmass, with black-coloured spots exhibiting signatures of a basaltic magma. The whole-rock compositions of the pumice are trachytic, with 61 mass% SiO2 and 9 mass% total alkali (Na2O + K2O). The overall characteristics in the pumice from Thailand are similar to those in FOB pumice. These pumice in Thailand were from the 2021 FOB eruption, and drifted >2800 km south-westward across the South China Sea.
A minimally cemented shallow crust beneath InSight

Published: April 2022

Ice and other mineral cements in Mars’ shallow subsurface affect the mechanical properties of the shallow crust, the geologic processes that shape the planet’s surface, and the search for past or extant Martian life. Cements increase seismic velocities. We use rock physics models to infer cement properties from seismic velocities. Model results confirm that the upper 300 m of Mars beneath InSight is most likely composed of sediments and fractured basalts. Grains within sediment layers are unlikely to be cemented by ice or other mineral cements. Hence, any existing cements are nodular or formed away from grain contacts. Fractures within the basalt layers could be filled with gas, 2% mineral cement and 98% gas, and no more than 20% ice. Thus, no ice- or liquid water-saturated layers likely exist within the upper 300 m beneath InSight. Any past cement at grain contacts has likely been broken by impacts or marsquakes.

Cannabis sativa is an herbaceous plant which is mainly used as a remedy for neurological, digestive and immunological ailments in traditional medicine. Even though Cannabis is the most illicit plant around the world, its medicinal properties are beneficial in number of ways. Numerous beneficial effects of C. sativa have been demonstrated in multiple in-vitro and in-vivo studies from different parts of the world. The aim of this paper was to systematically review the literature and provide a summary on potential medicinal benefits of C. sativa. This systematic review was conducted by using the data bases; Science direct and PubMed for studies published from 1st of January 2015 to 31st of October 2020. In order to obtain further data, a manual search was also carried out from the reference lists of included articles. After removing the duplicate articles 77 total number of articles included in this present review. The beneficial health effects of C. sativa were anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-microbial, anti-parasitic, anti-oxidant and anti-cancer properties. In addition, it revealed that C. sativa lower blood glucose, serum cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Apart from that, the use of Cannabis in other diseases such as irritable bowel disease, renal diseases, neurofibromatosis, and leucorrhea was also identified. The wide range of medicinal effects may be due to main active ingredients of Tetrahydro cannabinol, Cannabidiol, Cannabinol and Tetrahydro cannabivarin. Available in-vitro and invivo evidence suggested that C. sativa has many favorable health effects and further randomized controlled clinical trials will be needed to determine these effects thoroughly.
