Abstract. Improved agricultural management plays a vital role in protecting soils from degradation in Eastern Africa. Changing practices such as reducing tillage, fertilizer use or cover crops are expected to enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, with climate change mitigation co-benefits, while increasing crop production. However, the quantification of cropland managements’ effects on agricultural ecosystems remains inadequate in this region. Here, we explored seven management practices and their potential effects on soil carbon (C) pools, nitrogen (N) losses, and crop yields under different climate scenarios, using the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS. The model performance is evaluated against observations from two long-term maize field trials in western Kenya and reported estimates from published sources. LPJ-GUESS generally produces soil C stocks and maize productivity comparable with measurements, and mostly captures the SOC decline under some management practices that is observed in the field experiments. We found that for large parts of Kenya and Ethiopia, an integrated conservation agriculture practice (no-tillage, residue and manure application, and cover crops) increases SOC levels in the long term (+11 % on average), accompanied by increased crop yields (+22 %) in comparison to the standard management. Planting nitrogen-fixing cover crops in our simulations is also identified as a promising individual practice in Eastern Africa to increase soil C storage (+4 %) and crop production (+18 %), with low environmental cost of N losses (+24 %). These management impacts are also sustained in simulations of three future climate pathways. This study highlights the possibilities of conservation agriculture when targeting long-term environmental sustainability and food security in crop ecosystems, particularly for those with poor soil conditions in tropical climates.

Abstract. The important Qinghai Tibet Engineering Corridor (QTEC) covers the part of the Highway and Railway underlain by permafrost. The permafrost on the QTEC is sensitive to climate warming and human disturbance and suffers accelerating degradation. Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTSs) are slope failures due to the thawing of ice-rich permafrost. They typically retreat and expand at high rates, damaging infrastructure, and releasing carbon preserved in frozen ground. Along the critical and essential corridor, RTSs are commonly distributed but remain poorly investigated. To compile the first comprehensive inventory of RTSs, this study uses an iteratively semi-automatic method built on deep learning to delineate thaw slumps in the 2019 PlanetScope CubeSat images over a ~54,000 km2 corridor area. The method effectively assesses every image pixel using DeepLabv3+ with limited training samples and manually inspects the deep-learning-identified thaw slumps based on their geomorphic features and temporal changes. The inventory includes 875 RTSs, of which 474 are clustered in the Beiluhe region, and 38 are near roads or railway lines. The dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.933957 (Xia et al., 2021), with the Chinese version at https://data.tpdc.ac.cn/zh-hans/disallow/50de2d4f-75e1-4bad-b316-6fb91d915a1a/. These RTSs tend to be located on north-facing slopes with gradients of 1.2°–18.1° and distributed at medium elevations ranging from 4511 to 5212 m. a.s.l. They prefer to develop on land receiving relatively low annual solar radiation (from 2900 to 3200 kWh m−2), alpine meadow covered, and silt loam underlay. The results provide a significant and fundamental benchmark dataset for quantifying thaw slump changes in this vulnerable region undergoing strong climatic warming and extensive human activities.
Inline coupling of simple and complex chemistry modules within the global weather forecast model FIM (FIM-Chem v1)
Authors: Zhang Li , Grell Georg A. , McKeen Stuart A. , Ahmadov Ravan , Froyd Karl D. , Murphy Daniel
Published: January 2022

Abstract. The global Flow-following finite-volume Icosahedral Model (FIM), which was developed in the Global Systems Laboratory (GSL) of NOAA, has been
coupled inline with aerosol and gas-phase chemistry schemes of different complexity using the chemistry and aerosol packages from WRF-Chem v3.7,
named FIM-Chem v1. The three chemistry schemes include (1) the simple aerosol modules from the Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport
model that includes only simplified sulfur chemistry, black carbon (BC), organic carbon (OC), and sectional dust and sea salt modules (GOCART);
(2) the photochemical gas phase of the Regional Atmospheric
Chemistry Mechanism (RACM) coupled to GOCART to determine the impact of more realistic gas-phase chemistry on the GOCART
aerosol simulations (RACM_GOCART); and (3) a further sophistication within the aerosol modules by replacing GOCART with a modal aerosol scheme
that includes secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) based on the volatility basis set (VBS) approach (RACM_SOA_VBS). FIM-Chem is able to simulate aerosol, gas-phase chemical
species, and SOA at various spatial resolutions with different levels of complexity and quantify the impact of aerosol on numerical weather
prediction (NWP). We compare the results of RACM_GOCART and GOCART schemes which use the default climatological model fields for OH,
H2O2, and NO3. We find significant reductions of sulfate that are on the order of 40 % to 80 % over the eastern US
and are up to 40 % near the Beijing region over China when using the RACM_GOCART scheme. We also evaluate the model performance by comparing it
with the Atmospheric Tomography Mission (ATom-1) aircraft measurements in the summer of 2016. FIM-Chem shows good performance in capturing the aerosol and
gas-phase tracers. The model-predicted vertical profiles of biomass burning plumes and dust plumes off western Africa are also reproduced
reasonably well.
Making strange with bold moves - what next for student, supervisor and examiner? Or, No Blueprint: Assessing the (creative) exegesis
Authors: Woods Claire
Published: January 2022

In this paper I examine creative practice - the act of ‘practical consciousness’ that can ‘take many forms’ (Williams 1977; cited Pope 2005: 11) - when plied by the honours or postgraduate student writing an exegesis to accompany a creative artefact. The exegesis can be seen as a ‘re…creation’ (Pope 2005: 84), a potentially disturbing, unnerving performance culminating in a something re-fashioned, re-made, or newly made, and perhaps madly different. I find students are seeking to take their work (perhaps fictocritical, fictoautobiographical, autopoetic, autoethnographic) into shapes and forms that

re…create or make the ‘next work’ (Williams’ term). I ask ‘How do we encourage such work? How do we prepare students for such bold moves as readers and writers?’ The focus in this paper first will be on teaching processes and curriculum design that see reading as creative, and writing as both critical and creative, in which innovation through intervention

in a text and ‘making strange’ prompts ‘practices of making, connecting and risking’ (Saunders 1987, cited Pope 2005: 81). However, when the work has the mark of autopoiesis-self-creation, self-discovery - as central to the exegetical work, then as a postgraduate supervisor I ask, ‘How does one supervise, read and assess such work?’ This then is the second area of exploration in the paper. For student and supervisor the writing of the exegesis is a journey as much to do with content as with subjectivities, with working with disciplinary knowledge as with self and life experience, and with presenting the known (what the student has read and absorbed) alongside the newly discovered (and perhaps riskily presented). The possibilities for the exegesis as creative practice are many. How such work is supported and received is worthy of continued discussion.

Purpose: To investigate urothelial cell proliferation, cytoskeleton, inflammation, and barrier function protein expressions in patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) after intravesical platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injectionsMethods: A total of 19 patients with IC/BPS underwent 4 monthly intravesical PRP injections. Bladder biopsies were taken at the first and fourth PRP treatment. The bladder specimens were analyzed using the Western blot and immunochemical staining for progenitor cell markers for sonic hedgehog (Shh), CD34, and cytoskeleton proteins cytokeratin 5 (CK5), CK14, CK20; barrier function markers for zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), E-cadherin, and intercellular adhesive molecule-1, tryptase and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Global response assessment (GRA) was used to evaluate treatment outcomes.Results: The mean age of patients was 55.6 years. After PRP injections, the functional bladder capacity and maximum flow rate increased, and the visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain, interstitial cystitis (IC) symptom index, IC problem index, O’Leary-Sant symptom score, and GRA improved in all patients. Urothelium Shh, CK5, ZO-1, E-cadherin, and TGF-β expressions increased significantly after repeated PRP injections. By subgrouping, according to PRP treatment outcomes, significant increases in Shh, E-cadherin, and ZO-1 expressions were noted only in patients with GRA ≥1 or improved VAS, but not in patients with GRA=0 and no improvement in VAS.Conclusions: The level of urothelial barrier function protein and cell proliferation protein expression in the patients with IC/BPS was increased after repeat intravesical PRP injections. Intravesical repeat PRP injections may have potential to improve urothelial health and result in symptoms improvement in the patients with IC/BPS.

Authors: Ю.В. Марущин
Published: January 2022

Здійснено аналіз практик стратегічного планування в процесі добровільного об’єднання територіальних громад в Україні. Виокремлено, що на сучасному етапі державотворення та реалізації нової політики з децентралізації влади в Україні перед політичними елітами постала дилема між економічною обґрунтованістю та політичною доцільності впровадження окремих аспектів реформи. Однак, задача держави та її публічних управлінців – забезпечити наше суспільство та своїх громадян рівними можливостями, гарантованим рівнем публічних послуг, при цьому зберегти єдність державного простору при регіональних відмінностях окремих територій. Зменшення дисбалансів у економічному розвитку територій, створення умов для міжрегіональної солідарності та взаєморозуміння є умовою єдності державного простору та стійкості держави. А це, в свою чергу, призводить до пошуку новітньої практики у написанні стратегій розвитку територій та їх успішній реалізації.

Published: January 2022

Сформульовано інституційні передумови позиціонування управління соціально-економічною безпекою регіонів з позиції стратегічних пріоритетів їхнього соціально-економічного розвитку, суть яких полягає в тому, що значимість взаємозв'язку системи стратегування соціально-економічного розвитку та управління соціально-економічною безпекою регіону дозволяє мінімізувати та усунути ризики й загрози, що впливають не тільки на соціально-економічну безпеку на регіональному рівні, а й на національну безпеку в цілому при цьому відмінною особливістю пропонованого підходу до визначення взаємозв'язку між стратегічними пріоритетами соціально-економічного розвитку регіону та забезпечення його соціально-економічної безпеки є те, що якщо регіональна соціально-економічна політика орієнтується на досягнення якісних змін в соціально-економічній системі регіону, то процес забезпечення соціально-економічної безпеки виконує захисну функцію, орієнтовану на максимальне безпечне здійснення зазначених змін в соціально-економічній системі, при цьому процеси забезпечення соціально-економічної безпеки регіону є більш гнучкими і здатними адаптуватися до змін, що відбуваються на території регіону

Accretion discs surround different compact astrophysical objects such as black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs. Also they are situated in systems of variable stars and near the galaxy center. Magnetic fields play an important role in evolution and hydrodynamics of the accretion discs: for example, they can describe such processes as the transition of the angular momentum. There are different approaches to explain the magnetic fields, but most interesting of them are connected with dynamo generation. As for disc, it is quite useful to take no-$z$ approximation which has been developed for galactic discs to solve the dynamo equations. It takes into account that the disc is quite thin, and we can solve the equations only for two plane components of the field. Here we describe the time dependence of the magnetic field for different distances from the center of the disc. Also we compare the results with another approaches which take into account more complicated field structure.

Статья посвящена итогам исследований археологического памятника «Курганный могильник Абакан-7», проведенным в 2018 г. в рамках охранно - спасательных работ в центре г. Абакан. Несмотря на разрушение большей части культурного слоя, произошедшего в результате разновременного освоения городской территории, под техногенными напластованиями удалось обнаружить нетронутый участок, включавший частично сохранившийся курган раннего железного века с более поздним впускным погребением. В результате раскопок выявлены конструкции четырех погребений, содержавших 18 изделий из бронзы и кости (ножи, шилья, вток чекана, наконечник стрелы, украшения) и 8 фрагментарно сохранившихся керамических сосудов. Выявленный курган относится к подгороновскому этапу тагарской археологической культуры (8-9 вв. до н. э.), а впускное погребение - к тесинской археологической культуре (2-1 вв. до н. э.).

The article is devoted to the results of the research of archaeological site “Abakan-7 burial ground”, which was conducted in 2018 within the rescue operations in the center of Abakan. Despite the destruction of most of the cultural layer, caused by the development of the urban area at diff erent times, under technogenic layers, researchers could fi nd an intact deposit, which included a partially preserved barrow of the Early Iron Age with a later inlet burial. As a result of the excavation, the structures of four burials were revealed, which contained 18 items made of bronze and bone (knives, awls, a handle spike of a pickaxe, arrowheads, jewelry) and 8 fragmentary preserved ceramic vessels. The discovered barrow belongs to the Podgornovo stage of the Tagar archaeological culture (8th-6th centuries BC), and the inlet burial belongs to the Tes archaeological culture (2nd-1st centuries BC).

THE ORTHODOX IDEALS OF THE "SILVER AGE" OF RUSSIAN POETRY: A. BLOK'S "POEMS ABOUT RUSSIA", N. GUMILEV'S "QUIVER"
Authors: Сипкина Н. Я.
Published: January 2022

В статье исследуются православные идеалы А. А. Блока и Н. С. Гумилёва, ярких представителей поэтического поколения конца 19 - начала 20 века, изучавших Закон Божий, в котором излагались общечеловеческие принципы мирного существования людей планеты Земля. Нагорная проповедь Иисуса Христа для поэтов - Новозаветный закон любви о путях и делах, через которые человек сможет войти в Царство Божие, то есть спасти свою душу. Для Блока и Гумилёва божественный «кодекс» совести не утратил своей актуальности: о неосуждении («Не судите, и не будете судимы; не осуждайте, и не будете осуждены»), о прощении («Прощайте, и прощены будете»), о любви к врагам («Любите врагов ваших, благословляйте проклинающих вас, благотворите ненавидящих вас и молитесь за обижающих вас и гонящих вас, да будете сынами Отца вашего Небесного»), об отношении к ближним («Во всём, как хотите, чтобы с вами поступали люди, так поступайте и вы с ними»), о силе молитвы («Просите, и дано будет вам; ищите и найдёте; стучите, и отворят вам») [Библия, 1990, с. 4 - 8] и другие заповеди.

The article examines the Orthodox ideals of A. Blok and N. Gumilyov, prominent representatives of the poetic generation of the late 19 - early 20 centuries, who studied the Law of God, which set out the universal principles of the peaceful existence of people on our planet Earth. The sermon on the mount of Jesus Christ for poets is the new Testament law of love about the ways and works through which a person can enter the Kingdom of God, that is, save his soul. For Blok and Gumilyov, the Divine "code" of conscience has not lost its relevance: about non - condemnation ("do not judge, and do not be judged; condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned"), forgiveness ("Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven"), love for enemies ("Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be sons of your Father in Heaven"), the attitude towards the others ("In everything as want that with you people acted, so do you also to them"), about the power of prayer ("Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you") and the other commandments [1, p. 4 - 8].
Factors Influencing Teachers' Engagement

Published: January 2022

This study is about teachers’ engagement in a University Foundation Programme in Oman. In particular, the study probes the learning-teaching beliefs that both teachers and students hold inside the classroom in an Omani context. These students are in their first university year and come from a range of settings in Oman, so these learning beliefs could result from learning styles in the school being different to those in a university. The students were not used to be taught English as a second language in schools and they are not used to be taught by native speakers of the language. These changes in students’ learning environment could influence teachers' engagement inside the classroom. This study used both quantitative and qualitative methods to answer the research questions. The Engaged Teacher Scale (ETS) and the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) were both used in this study. The Engaged Teacher Scale was in teachers’ questionnaire, students’ questionnaire and in the form of a closed diary every two weeks. The Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) had two versions, one for teachers and one for students. Semi-structured interviews were conducted for both teachers and students to give reasons for their responses in the questionnaires and diaries. Analysis of variance showed a main effect of Students’ Level on their Social Engagement with their teachers. Teachers’ data also shows that Pre-Foundation (A) teachers were more socially engaged with their students which agree with the students’ data, but Social Engagement was not significant with Teachers’ data. Results from Teachers’ Diaries also indicated that participants did rate the three Emotional Engagement differently and that these differences were statically significant. This showed the importance of Teachers’ Emotional Engagement when the decreasing significance of Emotional Engagement can decrease all components of Teachers’ Engagement.

This paper aims to study the past thirty years of the history of religious orders in Hungary from the point of view of history and theology: from 1990 onwards the re-organization of religious life in Hungary had started, after 40 years of dispersion by the Communist state. The essay seeks to answer questions concerning the results of such restart of religious life: the restart was realized but did the reform happen too? Which models of religious life shaped the revival of consecrated life in Hungary? How the reform intended by Vatican II had an effect (or not) on it? What kind of theological questions should have been answered for a successful restart?
Demokrasi dan Penegakan Hukum dalam Wawasan Al-Qur’an
Authors: Ritonga Muhammad Soleh
Published: January 2022

Islam is a religion that regulates people's lives. This includes democracy and law enforcement. In democracy there are several views of Muslim experts, some accept but on the condition that the power is not absolute in the hands of the people, and there are also those who reject it altogether. In the ulama democracy accepted in Islam is deliberation and consensus in matters that are in accordance with religious rules. In Islamic democracy, it is very radicalism. This can be seen from the views of some scholars of Tafsir regarding Surah Al-Baqarah verse 143 that Islam is not exceeding the limit. Meanwhile, good law enforcement can be created because of a well-executed democracy. In Islam, law enforcement is a profession that is not easy. There are criteria and ethics for judges as law enforcers so that the law can produce a fair law. In the enforcement of the law must glorify God's commandments and have a sense of compassion or concern and a deep sense of justice that is shown. Democracy and law enforcement in the perspective of the Qur'an there are ethics that must be done, so that democracy and law enforcement cannot be separated from religion as secular views separate religion from worldly problems. Religion with the guidance of the holy book Al-Qur'an plays an important role in guiding democracy and good law enforcement.

İhmal ve istismar tüm canlıların maruz kalması muhtemel bir olgu olup nedenleri ve şiddeti değişmekle birlikte buna en çok maruz kalan kesimlerden biri yaşlılardır. Yaşam süresinin uzaması ve yaşlı nüfusun büyük bir artış göstermesi ihmal ve istismarın dikkat çekecek seviyede artmasına neden olmuştur. Özellikle son yıllarda üzerinde çokça durulan ve çeşitli sosyal bilimler ile sağlık alanında incelenen, tartışılan ve çözüm sunulmaya çalışılan ihmal ve istismar konusu bu makalede İslâm hukuku perspektifinden ele alınarak İslâm hukukunun meseleye bakışı ve bu tarz durumlar için almış olduğu tedbirler irdelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Birçok alanı ilgilendiren bu kompleks meselenin, insanların tutum ve davranışlarına etki eden ve yön veren din açısından da ortaya konması meselenin çözümüne katkı sunulması bakımından önemlidir. İhmal ve istismar çok boyutlu olmakla birlikte araştırmanın yaşlı bakımı çerçevesinde sınırlanması uygun görülmüştür. İhmal ve istismarın tanımına, nedenlerine ve türlerine yer verilen makalede İslâm hukuku açısından yaşlılara karşı takınılması gereken tutumun nasıl olması gerektiği, ihmal ve istismarı önleyici hukukî prensipler ile alınması gereken tedbirler tespit edilmiş, İslâm’ın şiddetin hiçbir türüne, ihmal ve istismara fırsat vermediği görülmüştür.

Published: January 2022

Introducción: El desequilibrio en los mediadores inflamatorios ha formado la base del vínculo propuesto entre disbiosis oral y el desarrollo y la progresión de la enfermedad de Parkinson, siendo el vínculo entre los dos la "inflamación. Objetivos: Determinar los efectos de la disbiosis en cavidad oral y su relación con la Enfermedad de Parkinson. Materiales y métodos: investigación de tipo bibliográfico documental, de enfoque cualitativo, retrospectivo en la búsqueda, de diseño descriptivo y analítico, de método deductivo.   Mediante uso de análisis PICO, palabras clave y términos mesh “Parkinson’s disease and Oral Dysbiosis”, “Inflammation and Parkinson’s, se utilizaron los buscadores: Pubemed, Scielo, ELsevier. Se revisaron 1150 documentos, que por criterios de inclusión y exclusión quedaron en 68. Análisis y discusión de resultados: Varios autores sugieren que los patógenos orales están involucrados en un proceso de neuroinflamación y caída de la barrera hematocefálica, lo que provocara el inicio o progresión de la enfermedad de Parkinson según algunos estudios. Conclusión: Si bien la evidencia debería ser mayor, muchos estudios indican que los patógenos orales pueden iniciar o ser un coadyuvante para el progreso de la enfermedad de Parkinson. A su vez esta enfermedad a causa degeneración motora por lo que se ve afecta la higiene oral, además estos pacientes usan ciertos fármacos que ocasionan xerostomía, por lo cual se ven afectados con mayor frecuencia por enfermedades periodontales.

El concepto de bien común en el marco de una nueva ética pública
Authors: Michelini Dorando
Published: January 2022

Tanto la cuestión concerniente al bien común como la problemática de la fundamentación de la ética son tópicos que han estado presentes en la reflexión filosófica desde los pensadores clásicos griegos hasta la actualidad. La promoción del bien común sigue siendo una característica distintiva del ideario democrático de las sociedades modernas y un tema recurrente para la fundamentación de la convivencia humana en distintas teorías éticas. Sin embargo, el concepto tradicional de bien común contiene una serie de limitaciones que impiden su rehabilitación directa en el contexto de las sociedades complejas y secularizadas. En el artículo se exponen las razones que imposibilitan dicha rehabilitación y se propone una transformación discursivo-procedimental de bien común que sirva como idea regulativa para la formulación de una ética pública en el marco de sociedades democráticas y pluralistas.
Lecciones canadienses en prevención de la criminalidad
Authors: Vanderschueren Franz
Published: January 2022

Este artículo describe y analiza, a partir de una observación directa, algunas políticas urbanas innovadoras vigentes en materia de seguridad en Canadá. Se ha focalizado en la experiencia de Vancouver para los problemas relacionados con el abuso y tráfico de drogas; en Toronto, Ottawa y la región de Waterloo (Ontario) para lo que concierne a la prevención de la criminalidad, y en la policía de Montreal para las reformas policiales. Para el análisis se han seleccionado las prácticas de prevención comunitarias sustentables, es decir, aquellas que involucran a los miembros de la comunidad en su diseño e implementación en forma proactiva e integral y que apuntan a un grado de institucionalización sostenible en el ámbito municipal. El carácter innovador de estas prácticas se refiere a la capacidad real de abordar un problema que habitualmente constituye una limitación para la implementación de una política de seguridad y de prevención. El texto evidencia que estas políticas urbanas han sido posibles gracias a una descentralización de parte del gobierno federal, que se apoya en una visión de la cohesión nacional que respalda la prevención basada en el desarrollo social y no en medidas penales. A partir de este análisis el artículo muestra algunos aspectos relevantes a considerar en el momento de querer poner en ejecución estas prácticas en el contexto institucional y social chileno. En particular se subrayan los aspectos referidos al marco institucional, la formulación de consenso sociopolítico, las características y el rol de la sociedad civil y el modelo policial.
La sociedad de la sociedad
Authors: Mascareño Aldo
Published: January 2022

Diez años después de su publicación en alemán, aparece la traducción de Die Gesellschaft der Gesellschaft, la obra final de Niklas Luhmann. Obra final en tanto ha sido la última que el sociólogo alemán logró revisar en vida (el original alemán se publicó en 1997, Luhmann murió en 1998), y en tanto es la culminación de su proyecto de treinta años: el diseño de una nueva teoría de la sociedad.

El libro ha sido traducido por el profesor mexicano Javier Torres Nafarrate, a quien debemos las versiones de las principales obras de Luhmann en español. Lo acompañó en la tarea un calificado equipo de traductores, como se advierte en los prólogos. Darío Rodríguez, quien trabajó directamente con Luhmann en los años ochenta y quien introduce buena parte de la obra en español del maestro, leyó el manuscrito completamente e introdujo importantes cambios en el sentido y concepto de algunos pasajes. Es decir, lo que llega al lector es una traducción limpia y técnicamente probada por dos de los más profundos conocedores de la obra de Niklas Luhmann en habla hispana.
El nuevo enfoque de la extensión universitaria como instrumento de vinculación hacia sectores vulnerables en la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas de la Universidad Nacional de Asunción. Año 2020
Authors: González de Álvarez Celina , Carosini Ruiz Diaz Ana Leticia
Published: January 2022

El presente artículo esboza el papel preponderante que la Academia puede cumplir durante esta Pandemia con la articulación de las actividades de extensión universitaria a fin de que los estudiantes puedan aplicar los conocimientos adquiridos en situaciones de la realidad circundante, especialmente hacia sectores vulnerables de la comunidad. Es por ello que se aborda en este artículo el nuevo enfoque dado a las actividades de extensión universitaria como herramienta fundamental para que la educación superior asista a las necesidades de la población y se posicione en la mente de los ciudadanos como una institución no solo formadora de profesionales, sino que además se convierta en un laboratorio concreto de acciones positivas para la sociedad. Se analizaron para ello las principales actividades que la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas de la Universidad Nacional de Asunción ha implementado, a través de la extensión universitaria, evidenciando la necesidad de plantear el procedimiento efectivo para garantizar que los programas desarrollados con sectores vulnerables desde el año 2017 no se viesen suspendidos en el año 2020 de la Pandemia de la COVID19; lo cual fue logrado con la adopción de un cambio de enfoque de la extensión universitaria efectivamente.
Aspects of Mineral Exploration Thinking
Authors: Graybeal Frederick T.
Published: January 2022

Editor’s note: The aim of the Geology and Mining series is to introduce early career professionals and students to various aspects of mineral exploration, development, and mining in order to share the experiences and insight of each author on the myriad of topics involved with the mineral industry and the ways in which geoscientists contribute to each.

Successful exploration requires an understanding of ore deposit models, the experience to recognize ore guides in an outcrop, nonlinear thinking, and some intuition. Models, using porphyry Cu deposits as examples, combine magmatic and hydrothermal processes; however, process and the results of process are different. Models provide important understanding of process but are not ore guides and do not drive discoveries; models function as rules that inhibit prediscovery exploration thinking. Results of the genetic process are recorded in descriptive models that do not reflect the considerable geologic variations existing between the hundreds of known porphyry Cu deposits. Discoveries and discovery cycles are driven by nonlinear thinking about ore guides visible in outcrop, not by genetic or descriptive models. Reality in an outcrop typically departs from generalized models. Reinterpretations that lead to drilling prospects rejected by previous exploration groups is what makes many discoveries. Increasingly, field-portable instruments for mineral and chemical analyses will add efficiencies.

The most important product of early exploration work is the geologic map, defined here as a decision-making document. Mapping of ore guides in any ore-forming system invariably leads to sampling of outcrops where high grading can help geologists rig the odds in their favor. However, the objective is a highly profitable mine, not just a high-grade sample. That means the mineralization must be sufficiently continuous to build the inventory of recoverable metal required for a profitable mine, regardless of grade. High grade gets you interested, but continuity gets the mine.

The principal intangible in any discovery is intuition, often described as nothing more or less than recognition, and it invariably involves experience. Perhaps the only tangible expression of intuition is displayed by individuals or teams that are unwilling to abandon a complex prospect, a behavior often described in case histories as tenacity.

Inspection is the most important role in textile industry which declares the quality of the apparel product. Many Industries were improving their production or quality using Artificial Intelligence. Inspection of fabric in textile industry takes more time and labours. In order to reduce the number of labours and time taken to complete inspection, computerized image processing is done to identify the defects. It gives the accurate result in less time, thereby saves time and increases the production. The convolutional neural network in deep learning is mainly used for image processing for defect detection and classification. The high quality images are given as input, and then the images were used to train the deep learning neural network. The woven fabric defects such as Holes, Selvedge tails, Stains, Wrong drawing and Snarls were identified by using Convolutional Neural Network. The sample images were collected from the Sky Cotex India Pvt. Ltd. The sample images were processed in CNN based machine learning in google platform; the network has a input layer, n number of hidden layer and output layer. The neural network is trained and tested with the samples and the result obtained is used to calculate the efficiency of defect identification.
