The effect of the geotectonic settings of volcano-plutonic belts on the metallogeny of the porphyry copper ore regions and clusters
Authors: ZVEZDOV VADIM
Published: December 2024

The effect has been appreciated of the geotectonic settings of formation of volcano-plutonic belts on the ore-formation zonality of their related complex porphyry copper ore-magmatic systems (equivalent to ore regions and clusters). It is shown that combinations of different types of ore deposits, spatially and genetically associated with porphyry copper deposits within the volume of the unified systems, depend on the earth’s crust structure, on the position and nature of the ore-bearing magmatic chambers, as well as on the metallogeny of the belt basements. The identified specific characteristics of the complex multiformational metallogeny of the ore-magmatic systems should be taken into account in the forecast and prospecting for both porphyry copper deposits and their associated ore deposits of other ore-formation types.

Published: December 2024

Mo-Cu and Au-Ag-Pb-Zn ore occurrences of the Verkhne-Myaundzhinsky ore cluster were studied, that located among Jurassic terrigenous complexes of the Inyali-Debin turbidite terrane of the Yana-Kolyma orogenic belt. The Speshnoye Mo-Cu ore occurrence is represented by a sulfide-quartz stockwork and is hosted by porphyry-like quartz syenites with an U-Pb age of 84 Ma; the Spyashchee Au-Ag-Pb-Zn ore occurrence represents a series of carbonate-quartz veins and mineralized zones in Jurassic sedimentary rocks. The geochemical spectrum of the stockwork mineralization is Mo-Au-Ag-Co-Cu-(As, W), while that of the vein-veinlet one is Pb-Ag-Sb-Au-As-Zn-Bi. The Verkhne-Myaundzhinsky ore cluster of the Central segment of the Yana-Kolyma orogenic belt represents a porphyry-epithermal ore-magmatic system formed by a hypabyssal stock of syenite-monzonite composition, by a sulfide-quartz stockwork with Mo-Cu mineralization, and by subepithermal vein-veinlet Au-Ag-Pb-Zn mineralizati Its age corresponds to the age of the second stage of formati of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcano-plutonic belt.
Internal and External Environmental Forces in Higher Educational Institutions (HEIS) for Sustainable Competitive Advantage: A Systematic Review of Literature
Authors: Phiri Daphne Munsaka , Mungule Charles Muwe , Phiri Jackson
Published: November 2024

Higher education institutions (HEIs) play a very important role in the economy of any country because they shape future leaders. Like any industry, the higher education industry is faced with increased competition. Therefore, achieving competitive advantage and sustaining it has become more and more important for HEIs. A number of theoretical views have been advanced on how firms, including HEIs can achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. This systematic review of literature reviewed 60 articles extracted from Scopus, WoS, Research Gate and Google Scholar with the aim to review key theories, including, porter’s five forces, resource-based view (RBV), dynamic capabilities view (DCV), and the relational view (RV) and their application to the higher education sector. More specifically, the review sought to address the internal and industry forces in the environment of higher education institutions that influence their competitive advantages. This systematic review highlights five major internal resources, namely, physical resources, human resources, institutional reputation, rankings and collaborations. The study also highlights three significant indus forces from porter’s five forces, that is, the bargaining power of suppliers, the threat of substitute goods and rivalry among competing HEIs. The literature reviewed strongly indicates that higher education institutions need to enhance their performance in response to the evolving educational environment by developing adaptive strategies aligned with academic excellence.
Impact of the Digital Revolution on Indigenous Technical Knowledge of Land Managers in Kole District, Northern Uganda
Authors: Akali Alfred , Okuna Victor , Mwesigwa David
Published: November 2024

Purpose: Considering the various challenges and the evidence of the dwindling agricultural productivity among a good number of farmers in Uganda, the focus of this paper was on how Ugandan farmers can produce higher yields for the exploding national and regional population.
Methodology: A desk review method was adopted on selected definitions and earlier models of indigenous technical knowledge are discussed as a basis gauging the consequence of digital revolution on indigenous technical knowledge.
Findings: The outcomes suggest that as a result of advancement in technology, there has been an increasing shift; that the traditional conservation wisdom in the cultural and artistic elements of communities in the development and management of biodiversity and its strategies and policies has no proper application in these modern times. Likewise, traditional knowledge systems in the cultures of people do not have any correlation with the scientific conservation models used in modern farming societies.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: It is encouraged that an increase in the number of agricultural workers, involvement of higher institutions of learning and proper acknowledgement of land managers for their unique indigenous technical skills should be prioritized by the government of Uganda. With global connectivity, technological advancement and data driven decision making, an improvement in efficiency of production and way of thinking of land managers will culminate in the best resource utilization of agricultural resources in Kole district.

Identitet se u širem smislu može odrediti kao skup osobina po kojima se pojedinci ili skupine, odnosno organizacije, prepoznaju i razlikuju jedna od drugih. Koncept korporativnog identiteta preslikava osjećaj organizacijskih osobnosti i sugerira kako svaka organizacija, dakle pravna osoba, ima vlastiti karakter, posebnost, jedinstvenost i individualnost. Pristupi njegovu određenju proizlaze iz različitih znanstvenih područja. Njegova složenost, nestalnost i heterogenost upućuju na to kako se njime ne može jednostavno i u cijelosti upravljati pa stoga ne postoji sveopći model procesa njegova formiranja i upravljanja. U radu se analiziraju pristupi konceptu korporativnog identiteta, njegovim sastavnicama te modelima njegova upravljanja.

PRODUCTION OF TEACHING MATERIALS FOR TEACHING ABOUT SOIL AND RELIEF: AN INCLUSIVE PROPOSAL / PRODUÇÃO DE MATERIAIS DIDÁTICOS PARA O ENSINO DO SOLO E RELEVO: UMA PROPOSTA INCLUSIVA
Authors: SANTOS CAROLINE ROCHA DOS , FALCÃO CLEIRE LIMA DA COSTA
Published: November 2024

Muito se tem discutido acerca dos desafios que envolvem o ensino inclusivo e sua concretização, o que exige planejamento, recursos e metodologias adequadas. Em sala de aula um dos principais instrumentos de apoio utilizado é o livro didático, porém torna-se necessário outras ferramentas didático-metodológicas para auxiliar no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. No ensino de geografia, observa-se inúmeras possibilidades de abordagem dos conteúdos, dentro eles, destaca-se os temas ambientais-pedológicos. Assim, se objetivou com esta pesquisa contribuir com as discussões que englobam o ensino de geografia, na perspectiva da inclusão, por meio da produção de um protótipo de kit de materiais para o desenvolvimento dos temas ambiental-pedológicos em sala de aula, direcionado a ouvintes e surdos. A avaliação dos materiais didáticos ocorreu a partir da realização de oficinas e aplicação de questionários com os discentes do Curso de Geografia da Universidade Estadual do Ceará, os alunos da Escola EEM Adalto Bezerra e os do Instituto Filippo Smaldone. A partir da aplicação foi possível perceber o longo caminho a ser percorrido para que o ensino inclusivo seja uma realidade, assim como possibilitou o desenvolvimento dos temas relacionados ao solo e que os alunos atuassem de forma prática em seus cotidianos.

rostro de la violencia doméstica en la fase de investigación ante el Ministerio Público.
Authors: Outten Barría Reina E.
Published: November 2024

El género, en la especie humana se utilizan las denominaciones de “femenino” para referirse a la mujer y “masculino” para referirnos al hombre; sin embargo, pareciera ser que, en las investigaciones sobre los procesos penales de violencia de género y doméstica, únicamente, existe el género femenino, por el grado de situaciones de vulnerabilidad en las que se expone la mujer, aunado al hecho notorio de que el enfoque de género se tergiversa ubicando a la mujer como única persona en situación de vulnerabilidad social cuando este enfoque debe estar encaminado a la protección de los derechos constitucionales y humanos de todas las personas con iguales oportunidades y garantías procesales que estén o se pongan en esa situación.
Actualmente, en las investigaciones que se llevan a cabo en la sección de Fiscalías Especializadas en Asuntos de Familia y el Menor, adscritas al Ministerio Público de la Procuraduría General de la Nación de la República de Panamá, las denuncias por violencia doméstica y de género son relacionadas al femicidio y a la violencia doméstica enfocada solo a la mujer, por el grado de convergencia de una con la otra. Desde esta perspectiva, podemos sostener que la mayoría de las denuncias por violencia de género son interpuestas únicamente por las mujeres y las de violencia doméstica, en gran medida, también por las mujeres, puesto que para los hombres no existe este grado de proteccionismo legal, porque así no lo contempla la Ley. En este sentido, afirmamos que no existen estadísticas que demuestren el porcentaje de condenas de ningún hombre por violencia de género, mientras que por violencia doméstica sí y son muy sesgadas o parcializadas.
Nuestra investigación es una crítica a la confusión de estos conceptos en la fase de investigación ante el Ministerio Público, dentro de los procesos penales relativos a las personas que tienen una relación de pareja, por motivo del matrimonio que los une. Además, hacemos una breve diferenciación de qué es lo que distingue una denuncia por violencia doméstica y de género con una demanda de trato cruel ante la Jurisdicción de Familia.

The architecture of the future: neuroscience and design for human spaces
Authors: Leandri Gaia
Published: November 2024

This contribution aims to explore the relationship between the built environment, society, and neuroscience through some reflections and ongoing research experiences in Italy. The architectural design sector is facing a long-standing crisis rooted in the rapid changes of society, in a modernity that already hints at the future but sometimes seems uncontrollable. The phenomenon of mass tourism, the improper reuse of ancient buildings, and sophisticated but user-unfriendly technologies show today's architects the limits of a design that has only partially succeeded in addressing the concept of "future design". The newly emerging discipline of neuroarchitecture, which combines the world of design with neuroscience and the study of human behavior, can address some questions about our perception of buildings and cities, providing objective measurements to inspire future evidence-based architectural design. Neuroscience can provide control tools that will be valuable beyond the present time because they are centered on the psyche and the well-being of human beings.
Live in new normal. Space envision under post-pandemic
Authors: Zhai Huihong , Fan Jiayi
Published: November 2024

The arrival of the pandemic changed the peaceful lives of human beings, with many things that were taken for granted becoming difficult to do or prohibited. It redefined the relationship between safety and danger, private and public, and changed people's daily lives and habits. But while the pandemic brought negative aspects such as illness, panic, injury, and isolation, it also prompted more communication and understanding among people, pushing people to use a variety of approaches to integrate into this new public environment with protection for each individual and to find appropriate modes of getting along to explore the boundaries and transformations of the space. Under the rules and policies of segregation, a new consensus is gradually emerging in society. Distance is becoming a non-two-dimensional label, but a two-way transformation between psychological separation and physical isolation which are opposite but inter-flowing. How to define private and public space in the new living model, to realize communication and balance is the main topic of this project.
The fertility of urban ruins: Obsolete industrial cities as ecosystem holders to activate circular economy
Authors: Ali Ahmed K.
Published: November 2024

This paper seeks to find poetry in recreating, if not beauty, then aesthetic dimension in waste itself, to find perfection in imperfection itself. The underline hypothesis stems from questions such as what is the relationship between the automotive industry and the building industry? What if there exists a knowledge transfer mechanism between the two. What if the know-how of automakers be applied to the building industry? Beyond adaptive reuse of existing buildings and abandoned structures, the image of the city of Detroit as the model of industrialized American city could be reshaped by the knowledge of its memory. This manuscript provides a speculative approach to revitalize one of the most famous examples of an American industrial city. The approach attempts to highlight the importance of activating multi-industry pollination known as industrial symbiosis (IS) specifically between the automotive industry and the building industry using the city of Detroit as a case study. Ideas to test the vitality of this approach were explored and tested in a graduate architectural design studio where students were challenged with transforming the automotive industry by-products, waste streams, and flows into building products and façade systems.
El retorno del carbón. Experiencias de recuperación en las cuencas mineras asturianas y turolenses
Authors: Tsiouti Andri
Published: November 2024

El trabajo parte por una investigación más amplia, en el contexto de una tesis doctoral, que estudia los procesos de recuperación de áreas mineras en España. Nos centramos en las explotaciones de carbón, cuyo cierre en los últimos años es seguido por iniciativas de recuperación en distintas cuencas mineras, bien interesantes y heterogéneas. Las intervenciones de carácter ambiental, orientadas a paliar los impactos de la actividad sobre los terrenos afectados, se compaginan con iniciativas de puesta en valor del patrimonio minero, aprovechando distintas ayudas europeas o estatales que se ceden para impulsar nuevas actividades económicas en dichas zonas. Analizamos algunos de los proyectos más significativos realizados en Asturias y Aragón, con la finalidad de desvelar los factores que los han favorecido, los actores implicados y las dificultades que supone la recuperación de territorios afectados por la explotación del carbón; examinar cómo se atiende el patrimonio minero y, finalmente, descubrir cómo la mitigación de los impactos medioambientales se puede compatibilizar con la valorización de los recursos culturales. Partimos de la hipótesis de que, en territorios contaminados y degradados por la actividad minera, el propio impacto puede devenir un recurso activo, cuando atiende las necesidades locales.

Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes of Patients with Hypertension at the Out-Patients Clinic, Federal Medical Centre, Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria
Authors: Akintoye Ayokanmi Joshua Famakinde, , Kayode Joshua Awogbemi, , Temitope Olatunji Atangbayila, , Ifeoluwa Deborah Famakinde, , Gbola Olayiwola
Published: November 2024

Background: Effective blood pressure control prevents most complications associated with hypertension. Despite the benefits of effective blood pressure control, most known hypertensive patients are not on medications, and only few of those on medications have their blood pressure adequately controlled.

Aim: This study aimed at evaluating the clinical outcomes of various antihypertensive drugs taken by patients attending the out-patient clinic at the Federal Medical Centre, Owo, Ondo State Nigeria.

Method: The research was a cross-sectional, descriptive study of patients with hypertension attending clinic at the Medical Outpatient Department of the facility. Subjective and objective information were obtained from patients using a structured questionnaire and case files respectively. One hundred and thirty-seven patients were sampled and data collected using questionnaire and structured interview.

Ethical clearance was obtained from the institution’s Ethical Review Board of FMC Owo. The data collected was analyzed using Microsoft excel and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 16.0).

Results: Most (69.3%) of the respondents were female and majority of them were above 50 years of age (79.6%). More than half (52.5%) of the patients were taking combinations of two medications. ACEI/ARB and calcium channel blockers were the most common combination prescribed. About a third (33.6%, n=46) of the patients were not compliant with their medications. Overall, only a little above half (51.1%) of the respondents had reached target blood pressure goal. Only those with dysrhythmias and chronic cardiac failure as co-morbidity had achieved the blood pressure goal.

Conclusion: Majority of the participants used more than one medication in the management of hypertension. Diuretics were the most widely used. Even though Angiotensin Converting Enzymes inhibitors (ACEIs)/Angiotensin Receptor Antagonists (ARBs) with Diuretics are frequently prescribed and used by patients. Some of the patients were not compliant with their medications and almost half of the patients are not at blood pressure goal.
ESTABLISHMENT OF AGED HUMAN DERMAL FIBROBLASTS BY ULTRAVIOLET IRRADIATION
Authors: Huynh Bach Cuc , Vu Bich Ngoc , Pham Van Phuc , Van The Trung
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Photoaging is a degenerative condition that leads to skin fragility, loss of function and cosmetic dissatisfaction. The senescence of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) plays vital roles in the pathogenesis of skin aging. Therefore, we aim to develop a senescent HDFs model with an optimized acute ultraviolet (UV) irradiation protocol for investigating mechanism and developing novel treatment intervention for photoaging. Materials and methods: HDFs were isolated from human abdominal skin and the expression of some fibroblast-specific markers was evaluated by flow cytometry. HDFs were then divided into three groups: normal (non-UV), UV1, and UV2. The irradiation dosages were UVB 780 mJ/cm2 + UVA 480 mJ/cm2 for 10 mins in group UV1, and UVB 1170 mJ/cm2 + UVA 720 mJ/cm2 for 15 mins in group UV2. The HDFs were then assessed with some markers for aging. The cell morphology and size were observed by microscopy. SA-β-galactosidase expression of cells was stained by SA-β-Gal kit and measured using Image J software. The differentiation potential of HDFs into chondrocytes, osteocytes, and adipocytes was checked by inducible medium. Cell proliferation was stained by Alamar blue assay and measured by spectrophotometer. Gene expression of collagen 1, collagen 3, MMP-3, p16, and p21 were quantified by real-time RT‒PCR. Results: The results showed that isolated cells exposed spindle-shape morphology, and highly expressed with fibroblast markers such as CD 90 (63%), Vimentin (85.55%), and S100A4 (61.17%). After UV irradiation, in the UV-treated groups, the cell appearance became flattened and larger. Cell sizes were significantly increased in UV-irradiated HDFs (p<0.05). The integrated density of SA-β-gal signals was higher in the UV groups than in the normal group (p<0.05). The time for fibroblasts to differentiate into adipocytes and chondrocytes was longer in both UV groups compared to normal HDFs. The division ability of cells significantly decreased in both UV groups at 72 hours and was maintained until 8 days (p<0.001), with a lower proliferation rate in the UV2 group. Moreover, UV light increased the mRNA expression of MMP-3, p16, and p21 and decreased the expression of collagen 1 and 3 in the UV2 group (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results demonstrated that the single irradiation dose of UVB 1170 mJ/cm2 + UVA 720 mJ/cm2 for 15 mins has successfully established the HDF senescence model.
MODULAR HINGED LONG-STEM KNEE ENDOPROSTHESIS (MEGAPROSTHESIS) IN THE TREATMENT OF LEFT PROXIMAL TIBIAL GIANT CELL TUMOR: A CASE REPORT AND LITTERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Dang Phu Liem , Duong Khai , Nguyen Tam Tu , Nguyen Van Het , Nguyen Thanh Huy , Huynh Kim Hieu
Published: November 2024

Objective: To present a case involving the surgical treatment of a left proximal tibial giant cell tumor with wide resection and reconstruction using a modular hinged long-stem knee prosthesis, and to assess the treatment outcomes after six months of follow-up. Methods: This is a single case study involving a patient with giant cell tumor of the left proximal tibia who underwent wide resection and reconstruction with a modular hinged long-stem knee prosthesis. The patient was followed up for six months at the Arthroplasty and Orthopedic Oncology Department, Center for Trauma and Orthopedics of Can Tho Central General Hospital, from January 2024 to June 2024. Results: The case demonstrates the importance of wide resection in tumor management. Reconstruction with a modular hinged long-stem knee prosthesis effectively reduces the risk of tumor recurrence, mitigates the potential for secondary osteoarthritis, and minimizes complications related to joint fusion. This approach also has the potential to lower treatment costs and shorten hospital stays. Conclusion: Long-stem hinged implants in total knee arthroplasty help prevent bone loss and improve function. Wide local excision with long-stem hinged modular prosthesis can effectively treat proximal tibial giant cell tumors and reduce recurrence.

This study explores the factors influencing college course selection among Grade 12 students at Mindanao Mission Academy, aiming to fill the gap in research regarding the impact of personal interests, peer influence, institutional considerations, and practical factors on course choices in the Philippines. Grounded in Social Cognitive Theory and Holland’s Theory of Career Choice, the study surveys 359 students using a structured questionnaire adapted from Ouano et. al. (2019). Statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics, ANOVA, post-hoc Tukey comparisons, and Kruskal-Wallis tests, reveals that practical considerations, such as job opportunities and financial stability (M = 3.97), are the most significant factors in decision-making, followed by personal interests (M = 3.76), while peer influence (M = 3.16) and institutional considerations (M = 3.57) play a lesser role. No significant differences were found in the importance of these factors based on gender or age, indicating that both male and female students, and those aged 15-17 and 18-20, prioritize similar factors. The results suggest that students focus on career outcomes and personal interests when choosing their courses, with external influences like peer and institutional factors being less important. This highlights the need for career guidance programs that align students' aspirations with practical career opportunities, addressing their immediate concerns for financial security and future employment. It is recommended that career counseling be more tailored to practical career paths and personal interests, with less emphasis on societal pressures, helping students make informed decisions that reflect both their goals and the realities of the job market.

Negative empathy is a destabilizing aesthetic experience which consists in empathizing with immoral and seductive characters portrayed in a fascinating, yet disturbing fashion. Drawing from cognitive, philosophical and narrative theories, this paper identifies the protective distance provided by aesthetic representation as a prerequisite for the conversion of the tragic or unsettling emotions stirred by negative empathy into aesthetic enjoyment. As a result, I argue that the cathartic potential enabled by literary negative empathy with fictional characters or atmospheres allows for the aesthetization and consequent sublimation of the otherwise repressed major taboos described by Freud in Totem and Taboo. Through analysis of some excerpts from Ágota Kristóf’s The Notebook, The Proof, The Third Lie and Angela Carter’s short story “The Snow Child,” the paper shows how narratives involving parricide and incest possibly allow readers to confront repression, and how the literary presentation of these narratives contributes to readers’ emotional engagement and aesthetic enjoyment of what would otherwise be deeply disturbing subject matter.
De ce teoria queer nu poate elimina tragicul: conflictul metodelor în literatura comparată
Authors: Popa Bogdan
Published: November 2024

The idea of tragic is a battlefield, which is fiercely disputed in recent contemporary debates in comparative literature. Two methods are fighting over conceptual supremacy, given that both share a common goal of eliminating tragic conditions from our social life. The first method, which I call Lacan+, sees the tragic as an unavoidable effect of our desires, which struggle for recognition and transformation. The second method, which I call Foucault +, is rather skeptical of the first method aim to preserve the impossibility associated with desires and seeks to change the social to limit its tragical negative effects. At the heart of the debate is the role of impossibility, which for the first school functions as its condition of possibility while for the second serves as a fantasy that needs to wither away. This article analyzes the debate as it is articulated in several works in queer theory and concludes that the idea of tragic is best served by anchoring it in impossible desires.

EFEITO DO PILATES NO TRATAMENTO DA LOMBALGIA GESTACIONAL
Authors: Lima Alana Barbosa de , Lima Ronaldo Nunes
Published: November 2024

Introdução: A lombalgia afeta até 80% da população e ocorre em 76% das gestantes, sendo comum no segundo trimestre. O Pilates é um método eficaz no alívio da dor e fortalecimento muscular, promovendo benefícios como melhora da flexibilidade e qualidade de vida, auxiliando na prevenção de quedas e controle de ansiedade durante a gestação. Objetivo: O estudo visa analisar os benefícios da utilização do método pilates durante a gestação e sua utilização como prevenção e tratamento da lombalgia. Materiais e Métodos: O estudo foi realizado por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica em bases de dados internacionais e nacionais, como PubMed, Scielo e BVS Brasil, utilizando descritores relacionados a lombalgia, gestação, exercícios, pilates e fisioterapia. De 41 artigos iniciais, 27 foram selecionados para base deste estudo após critérios e análise detalhada de inclusão, além de consultas à obra "Pilates na Reabilitação" e ao guia da Associação Brasileira de Fisioterapia em Saúde da Mulher. Resultado: Os estudos têm se mostrado eficazes no efeito do pilates no tratamento da lombalgia, proporcionado redução da dor lombar, fortalecimento do assoalho pélvico, melhora na estabilidade muscular, contribuindo para o bem-estar geral das gestantes, incluindo benefícios no humor, sono e autoestima, além de potencial impacto no parto e pós-parto. Apesar de resultados positivos observados, a pesquisa aponta a necessidade de mais estudos com rigor metodológico para confirmar esses benefícios e ampliar sua aplicabilidade. Conclusão: O estudo demostra uma eficácia do Pilates no tratamento da lombalgia, destaca seus benefícios na redução de dores e a melhora da qualidade de vida que o método pode proporcionar. Apesar de seu potencial, há uma escassez de estudos e dados mais robustos e concreto sobre o controle de sua aplicação, principalmente no caso de gestantes, e conta com uma falta de evidências concretas sobre sua inclusão no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), indicando a necessidade de mais pesquisas para validar sua eficácia e ampliar sua oferta na rede pública.
The Magnetic Vortex during a Solar Eclipse
Authors: Zoughlami Atef
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Researchers are intensively working to understand the phenomena that remain inadequately explained in connection with solar eclipses, including wind fluctuations, gravity waves, and oscillations in the Foucault pendulum. Despite the numerous theories that have been put up to elucidate these changes, substantial evidence remains necessary to substantiate any of them. Studies indicate that these alterations transpire more frequently at the core of the shadow and are observable throughout all atmospheric strata. Nevertheless, no research has concentrated on thoroughly examining the complete lunar umbra cone, encompassing the influence of the moon’s wake phenomena. The lunar umbra cone is a common structure at both ends. This work highlights the parallels between changes in wind and gravity waves during solar eclipses and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) lines. Building on our analysis, we propose a novel concept that offers a more cohesive and effective explanation of these phenomena during eclipses. This explanation is based on the formation of the magnetic vortex generated by the IMF lines extending from behind the moon to the Earth.

Abstract. In marine ecosystems, Net Primary Production (NPP) is pivotal, not merely as a critical indicator of ecosystem health, but also as an integral component in the global carbon cycling process. This study introduces an advanced probability prediction model to refine the precision of NPP estimation and to deepen our comprehension of its inherent uncertainties. A comprehensive comparative analysis is undertaken, juxtaposing a Bayesian probability prediction model, predicated on empirical distribution, with a probability prediction model anchored in deep learning. The objective is to meticulously quantify the uncertainty associated with NPP. The findings underscore the applicability of probability prediction in investigating the uncertainty of marine NPP. Both models proficiently delineate the dynamic trends and inherent uncertainties in NPP, with the neural network model exhibiting superior accuracy and dependability. Additionally, these probability prediction models are adeptly applied to prognosticate NPP in specific marine regions, efficaciously elucidating the interannual trends in NPP variation. This research contributes not only a more precise method for quantifying NPP uncertainty but also bolsters scientific support for the stewardship of marine ecosystems and the preservation of environmental integrity.
Towards ice core sampling by subsea robotic vehicles
Authors: Katlein Christian
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Ice coring has developed into one of the most frequently used sampling methods across cryospheric sciences. Sea ice, firn and glacial ice are sampled using a range of different coring systems. These systems can retrieve core samples with lengths ranging from several cm to tens of meters when operated by hand or drilling machines, while specialized coring systems have retrieved cores from Antarctica’s ice caps with a length of over 3 km. In the last decade more robotic subsea vehicles like remotely operated vehicles (ROV) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) have ventured into polar waters beneath sea ice and ice shelves, but retrieval of ice samples from the sub-ice environment has not been achieved on a regular basis. Other geophysical investigation methods such as push core sediment coring and rock drilling have been successfully adapted for subsea robotic vehicles. Hence the purpose of this work is to investigate the feasibility of adapting the techniques of retrieving short ice cores from sea ice and glacial research to the subsea environment. We successfully demonstrate the retrieval of an ice sample in a laboratory setting using traditional ice coring systems in conjunction with a subsea manipulator arm. We discuss challenges and further improvements to our experiments towards enabling reliable ice sampling in the subsea environment using generic tooling readily available on subsea vehicles. In conclusion, ice core sampling in the subsea environment seems feasible using industrial work class manipulators particularly when cartesian inverse-kinematic control is available.
