INVESTIGATION OF CRYOGENIC TREATED DRILL BIT
Authors: Babu Mr.R Ramesh
Published: October 2023

We look into brief introduction of cryogenic treatment. Our focus throughout the report is more on cryogenic treatment of tool steel and high speed steel. In metal forming industry tools are exposed to very complex and rough surface conditions, which are the result of different effects (mechanical, thermal and chemical) and thus require well defined mechanical properties. Different approaches are followed to increase the surface properties of tool steels. The surface hardening treatments of steel has shown significant improvement of various properties including wear and fatigue resistance. Cryogenic treatment is yet another approach acknowledged by some to extend the tool life of many cutting tools. We will describe the complete procedure and investigate the effects on the metallurgical changes in the tool steel. However real mechanisms behind the better performance of tools are still in doubt. Studies in the given references on cryogenically treated tool steel shows micro structural changes in material that can influence the tool life. However little is gained from the experimental results showing involvement of carbide precipitations. Cryogenic treatments of carbides has yet to be extensively studied. In this paper drill bits are treated with cryogenic method and to predict the hardness, wear strength and other results are analysing.
Hand Gesture Recognition and Motion Detection System for Interactive Applications
Authors: Journal IJSREM
Published: October 2023

Security systems and interactive multimedia applications are two examples of the many fields in which Gesture Sense (GS) technology, a significant development in human-computer interaction, has found use. This paper introduces the "Arduino Hand Gesture Identification and Motion Detection System," a revolutionary combination of Python, Arduino Uno R3, and ultrasonic sensors intended to improve interactive apps through accurate gesture identification. Real-time tracking of hand movements is made possible by ultrasonic sensors, which are renowned for their fine-grained motion detection capabilities. Python allows the Arduino Uno R3 to run complex gesture detection algorithms. A user's engagement is improved by an LCD that presents recognized gestures and status updates, which provides immediate visual feedback. The system's outstanding accuracy, responsiveness, and usability are demonstrated by severe testing, which shows that it typically recognizes objects with an accuracy of 93%. In the context of interactive applications, this research study demonstrates how GS technology has the potential to revolutionize user experiences by ensuring seamless and immersive interactions. Key Words: Interactive application, Human-computer interaction, Hand gesture recognition, Motion detection.

THE SACRED VALUES OF KERINCI ANCIENT MANUSCRIPTS AND OTHER ANCIENT MANUSCRIPTS IN THE WORLD
Authors: MAKMUR TESTIANI , ABDURAHMAN DUDUNG , ZULAIKHA SRI ROHYANTI
Published: October 2023

The aims of this study are to explore the sacred meanings in the ancient manuscripts of Kerinci preserved by the Kerinci indigenous people and their comparison with other ancient manuscripts in the world. This study uses a qualitative approach, with data collection using a purposive sampling technique on selected informants based on predetermined criteria. The results of this study indicate that the manifestation of the sacred values of the ancient manuscripts of Kerinci does not lie in the physicality of the manuscripts, but is believed by the Kerinci people to be found in the values of protecting or maintaining ancient manuscripts. The Kerinci people view the preservation of ancient manuscripts as sacred because they believe it is obedience to the results of an agreement, continuing the mandate, respecting the ikrar iyo (pledge), a form of obedience to the adjunct directions of the country's leader in this case the Depati, respecting the contents of the manuscript in the form of ancestral teachings and history, and are afraid of being exposed disaster, harm or disaster such as wasting the manuscript as harto pusako as a consequence of the responsibility that has been jointly acknowledged and bound by the iyo pledge. Some contextually sacred reasons have similarities with traditions in other places such as the value of trust, adherence to customary rules, ancestral teachings such as rituals, traditional ceremonies, certain religious teachings and ancestral history, and fear of calamity if ancient manuscripts are wasted.

Appraisal of Restraint Positions for Rumen Skin Clamp Fixation, Stay Suture, and Mobile Small Ruminant Surgical Chute Rumenotomy Based on the Haematology of Kano-Brown Goats
Authors: Mshelia Saidu Abubakar
Published: October 2023

Standing position in large ruminants and lateral recumbence in small ruminants have been the age-long standard restraint approaches when carrying out most surgical procedures, without recourse to the associated induced surgical stress. This study fabricated a mobile small ruminant surgical chute for standing restraint position and compares its associated haematological responses with those induced in lateral recumbence position during rumenotomy in Kano Brown goats (KBGs). Eighteen Kano-Brown goats of both sexes diagnosed of rumen foreign body impaction were allocated to groups A, B and D. Goats in groups A and B underwent rumen skin clamp fixation (RSCF) and stay suture rumenotomy (SSR) techniques respectively, while on lateral recumbency. Goats in group D underwent rumenotomy while on standing restraint in a fabricated mobile small ruminant surgical chute (MSRSC). The six other KBGs diagnosed to be free of the rumen foreign bodies did not undergo any rumenotomy and thus, served as control (Group C). Haematological parameters were assayed pre- and post-rumenotomy at 0, 5, 24, 48, 72 hours and weeks 1, 2 and 3. The mean total white blood cell counts were 11.17 ± 1.4 X 109/L, 9.63 ± 1.44 X 109/L, and 8.58 ± 0.96 X 109/L) for groups A, B, and D respectively, at 0-hour post-rumenotomy. Mean TWBC was lowest at 48 hours in group D, postrumenotomy even though the difference was not significant (P > 0.05). In conclusion, lateral recumbency restraints for Rumen Skin Clamp Fixation and Stay Suture rumenotomy versus standing restraints for Mobile Small Ruminant Surgical Chute Rumenotomy did not significantly impact on Haematology in Kano Brown Goats. This could mean that the fabrication was a success and an alternative to performing surgeries in standing restraints beside the conventional lateral recumbency restraints in ruminants.

Pharmacokinetics and testing of dosage regimen of cefazolin was carried out in 4 healthy female buffalo calves after its intravenous (iv) administration @ 10 mg/kg. Plasma and urine concentrations of cefazolin were estimated at various time intervals by microbiological assay using Sarcina lutea (ATCC 9341). From log plasma concentrations versus time, kinetics parameters were calculated. Based on kinetic parameters, loading (D*) and maintenance (D0) doses were calculated for maintaining CP∞ min (MIC) of 0.5 μg/ml at the dosage interval (γ) of 6 Using the data, appropriate D* was injected i/v and 3 consecutive Do were given at selected dosage interval (γ) of 6 h to maintain CP∞ min of 0.5 μg/ml in each animal. The study obtained distribution (t1/2 ß) and elimination (t1/2 β) half life, volume distribution, and total body clearance (ClB) of 0.19±0.06 h, 4.78±0.28 h, 5.49±0.83 L/ kg and 13.15±1.53 ml/kg/min. D* and D0 of 6.52±0.77 and 3.77±0.38 mg/were calculated to maintain CP∞ min of 0.5 μg/ml at γ of 6 h.

Published: October 2023

A study was carried out to find out the minimum level of crude protein in grower diet of female ducks between 8-16 weeks of age for optimum growth of reproductive organs and earliest onset of egg laying. Khaki Campbell ducklings (420) were brooded and maintained with starter ration till 8 wks of age after which 180 female ducks were randomly selected and reared in 3 groups with 3 replicates in each. Three types of iso-caloric grower ration (14, 16 and 18% crude protein) were offered separately between 8-16 wks of age. At 12th and 16th wk of age, biometry of female reproductive tract was taken. Total protein, total cholesterol, calcium and inorganic phosphorus level in blood serum at 12 and 16 wks age and age at first egg were recorded. The observations revealed the maximum growth of female reproductive organs took place between 12-16th wk age. Significant differences were found in length of whole reproductive tract, infundibulum and weight of ovary between 3 feeding groups at 12th wk of age and width of ovary at 16th wk. Age at first egg was the lowest for 16% CP followed by 18 and 14% fed group. Concentration of total protein at 12 and 16 wks and calcium at 16th wk age differed significantly between groups. Thus, It may be concluded that 16% CP in diet is beneficial for Khaki Campbell ducks during growing stage for better reproductive organ growth as well as for early sexual maturity.

Published: October 2023

This paper presents a study of the central Danish 19th-century figure N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783-1872) and his worldview. More precisely, by way of simple neural word embeddings we seek to plot Grundtvig’s worldview in attempt to tease out factors explaining for his cultural and religious success as a poet. We arrive at the conclusion that one factor for Grundtvig’s relative success could be found in his explicitly positive worldview fit for modern conditions.

Archives around the world are digitising their material at a growing speed. The National Archives of Finland launched a mass digitisation process in 2019 aiming to digitise vast amounts of state authorityarchives. In order to improve the access and use of this data by researchers, we present the data transfer process of state authority data and the development of named entity recognition (NER) for enriching and using archival data from state authorities. In this process, we have developed two new named entities that are not included in published NER models for the Finnish language. This work is conducted as part of the DARIAH-FI infrastructure.
Engineering Terrorismmindedness: A Scientometric Study of the 9/11-effect on STEM Research, 1989-2022
Authors: Fridlund Mats , Nelhans Gustaf
Published: October 2023

We study terrorism’s shaping of STEM research through the development within engineeringresearch of a ‘terrorismmindedness’, i.e. terrorist threat domestication through integration in research practice. This is done by a distant reading of how research in the engineering sciences is increasingly addressing terrorism-related topics. By means of an in-depth bibliometric analysis of some 3.000 terrorism-related scientific articles published 1989–2022, we construct within the subject area ‘Engineering’ in Web of Science its research subfield ‘Terrorism Related Engineering Research’. The publications are analysed by bibliometric mapping, co-occurrence text measures and ‘algorithmic historiography’ using the HistCite tool. Papers cited together are mapped using VOSviewer to identify concepts and the results are clustered according to topicality, revealing the various terrorism-related research interests among engineering scientists.

50 Years of PMEL Tsunami Research and Development
Authors: Bernard Eddie , Meinig Christian , Titov Vasily , Wei Yong
Published: October 2023

This article chronicles the 50-year history of tsunami research and development at the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), beginning with the merger in 1973 of the Joint Tsunami Research Effort and PMEL. It traces the development of instrumentation and modeling that brought a better understanding of tsunamis and improved warning systems. The advantage of having observational engineering and flooding modeling under one roof are highlighted. Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunami (DART) research and development led to technology transfer to NOAA’s National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) that now operates and maintains 39 buoys and serves as real-time data distributor for other nations. This technology was also patented and licensed by PMEL to meet the needs of the international community. DART licensee Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) has manufactured over 60 buoys for eight different countries. DART data are essential for accurate tsunami warnings, so the global society benefits by receiving lifesaving information before the arrival of a tsunami. PMEL’s tsunami flooding modeling research led to technology transfer to NOAA’s tsunami warning centers, the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program, and international tsunami preparedness communities. Short-term flooding modeling research was initiated at PMEL to improve NOAA tsunami warning operations to better serve US coastal communities. The same validated modeling technology was then applied to produce hazard maps for coastal communities in the United States and internationally through the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC). Tsunami hazard maps are an essential first step in preparing a community for the next tsunami. Using these maps and other preparedness criteria, a community can become “Tsunami Ready” for the next event. Tsunami Ready has been adopted by the IOC as the global standard for preparedness of at-risk communities with total populations exceeding 890 million people.

In 1995, the first of a nearly continuous sequence of biophysical moorings was deployed at a site (M2) on the southeastern Bering Sea shelf. Over the next 15 years, 10 additional mooring sites were initiated. The resultant long-term biophysical mooring array extends over 1,800 km from the southern Bering Sea to the northern Chukchi Sea, covering most of the US Arctic. It provides a full range of oceanographic data for researchers, stakeholders, and managers. In addition, these data sets have been critical for the validation of regional ocean models. The ocean temperature data have quantified regional warming and formed the basis for understanding how warmer temperatures and loss of sea ice are modifying these high-latitude marine ecosystems. Changes observed in the context of observations from the mooring program include delayed spring bloom, low abundances of large crustacean zooplankton and crab species, seabird die-offs, changes in ocean acidification, northward expansion of subarctic fish species, and shifts in the ranges of marine mammal species.

Published: October 2023

Seed traits are critical determinants of oil yield and quality in safflower. In this study, correlations among a set of seed traits (physical, physiological, biochemical) were studied and compared in a subset of germplasm and a pedigree based population (F3). Some previously published correlations among physical (seed size, weight, hull content, hull type) and biochemical (oil content, fatty acid composition) traits in germplasm could be redetected in F3 population and some disappeared. In germplasm, physiological traits (germination, vigour) did not show correlation with oil content while vigour was positively correlated with seed size and test weight. Contrary to observations in germplasm, seed weight was not correlated with hull content and oil content in F3 population. This is an interesting observation because it raises the possibility ofimproving seedweight and oil content simultaneously and without affecting the hull proportion, which is critical for breeding high oil yield in safflower.
Diversity analysis in parental lines of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.)
Authors: MANOJ KUMAR  , R K SINGH
Published: October 2023

Genetic diversity is essential for crop genetic improvement. Genetic diversity among breeding lines helps breeders in selecting parents for hybrid production with maximumheterosis and combining useful genes in a genetic background. Twenty five genotype of Brassica napus from different places of the country were evaluated to study the diversity pattern among the genotypes. The genotypes were grouped into six clusters. The distribution pattern indicated that maximum number of genotypes 8 was grouped into the cluster II followed by cluster IV (6), and cluster I (5). Cluster V had 3 genotypes, cluster VI contained 2 genotypes while cluster III had only one genotype. The mode of distribution of genotypes from different geographic regions into various clusters was at random, indicating no association between geographical distribution of genotypes and the genetic divergence. The inter cluster distance in most of the cases was higher than the intra-cluster distance, indicationg wider genetic diversity among the accessions of different groups. The maximum intracluster distance (7.158) was observed for cluster I, the minimum intra cluster distance (2.642) was observed for cluster VI. The genotypes of cluster III and cluster VI exhibited maximum inter cluster distance (30.102) indicating higher genetic divergence and revealed that the genotypes Neelam and Sheetal were more divergent. Thusthese genotypes may be used to produce superior hybrids and transgressive segregants with heterobeltiosis effects in rapeseed.

Evaluation of sunflower hybrids using morphological data is necessary and essential in sunflower breeding programs. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the productive possibilities of some sunflower germplasm using multivariate technique. Fifty sunflower genotypes were characterized using eleven morphological traits. Among the traits studied, high coefficient of variation was observed for duration ofreproductive phase (11.73%), seed yield per plant (11.49%), 100-seedweight (8.98%) and head diameter (8.33%). Agglomerative hierarchical clusteringmethod classified the fifty genotypes into five clusters. A large number of genotypes were placed in cluster III (22) followed by cluster I (14), cluster II (6), cluster V (6) and cluster IV (2). The maximum inter-cluster distance of 47.83 was observed between clusters I and cluster IV indicating the possibility of high heterosis. The first four principal components showed 71.61% of the total variation. The genotype EC-512687 and EC-601746 had found top rank by both the methods. The results of PCA were closely in line with those of composite indices. These results can be used by breeders in sunflower breeding program.

Published: October 2023

The field experiment on the effect of establishment methods and varieties on yield components, yield and economics of linseed was undertaken in Vertisols during rabi season of 2013-14 and 2014-15. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with allocation of methods of establishment in main plot and varieties in sub plot. The treatments were replicated four times. The treatments comprised of three methods of establishment i.e. M1: Dry seeding with planking followed by irrigation, M2: Dry seeding without planking followed by irrigation and M3: Seeding after pre-sowing irrigation and four varieties i.e. V1: T 397 (National check), V2: RLC 92, V3: Indira Alsi 32 and V4: Shekhar. Linseed sowing by dry seeding with planking followed by irrigation (M1) gave higher plant population, enhanced the growth and yield attributes which in turn resulted in significantly higher seed yield (1298 kg/ha) as well as net income (`37938/ha) amongst methods of establishment. With respect to varieties, RLC-92 (V2) showed good crop stand establishment, highest oil content (41.4%) and produced vigorous growth and superior yield attributes and highest seed yield (1293 kg/ha) of linseed as well as accrued handsome net profits (`37872/ha) and B:C ratio (1.91). The interaction effect among the methods of establishment and varieties was found non-significant in terms of yield and important yield attributing characters.

Published: October 2023

An experiment was conducted to determine the nature and magnitude of heterosis in castor for seed yield and its yield attributing traits. Forty hybrids were synthesized involving five lines and eight testers through line x tester(L×T) mating design and were evaluated for yield and its components. Among 13 parental lines, JP-96, VP-1, DPC-9, RG-2661-1, RG-109 and RG-3160 were identified as good general combiners for seed yield and its components, which can be directly exploited in heterosis breeding. The cross combination, DPC-18 × RG-2661-1 was good specific combiner for early maturity. High seed yield per plant was recorded for hybrids: VP-1×RG-109(105.04 g), DPC-18×RG-1771 (98.26g) and DPC-18×RG-2661-1 (97.97 g). These promising crosses involved parents with high × high and high × low GCA effects and were found promising for high yield potential in castor.

Published: October 2023

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2018 and 2019 at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore to study the per se performance, productivity and profitability of seven elite castor hybrids and varieties. Treatments comprised five hybrids (GCH-8, DCH-177 DCH-519, GCH-7, GCH-4) and two varieties (48-1, DCS-107). Based on the pooled analysis, castor hybrids (GCG-8, DCH-177 and DCH-519) showed significantly higher total dry matter production (TDMP) on account of significant superiority in crop growth rate (CGR), relative growth rate (RGR) and absolute growth rate (AGR). Nevertheless, the performance of genotypes in this study was not a true reflection of their growth attributes. Therefore, castor genotypes did not show consistency for seed yield over the years of their evaluation. It was mainly due to their differential reaction to incidence of gray mold. During 2018 significantly higher grain yield (2369 kg/ha), oil yield (1152 kg/ha), gross return (` 1,23,188/ha), net return (` 99,809/ha) and benefit: cost ratio (3.95) was recorded in GCH-8. Whereas, during 2019, 48-1 recorded significantly higher grain yield (1270 kg/ha), oil yield (602 kg/ha), gross return (` 66,040/ha), net return (` 36,897/ha) and benefit: cost ratio (2.27). Based on the pooled analysis, castor hybrid GCH-8 (1777 kg/ha) recorded significantly higher yield and closelyfollowed by castor variety 48-1 (1476 kg/ha) and DCS-107 (1444 kg/ha).

Crop management, socio-economic, environmental and soil quality factors play a pivotal role in enhancing crop productivity. Variation in crop productivity among farmers under real farm situations was observed. Therefore, the premise ofthis study is to investigate the relative importance ofthese factors in determining soybean yield variability across farms in the villages of Madhya Pradesh state in Central India. Data were collected using the personal interview of 376 randomly selected farmers, conducted in eight villages of four districts. Crop input application and management practices followed and yield data are presented as mean data and correlations, and individual farmer's information is represented by regression tree (RT) analysis to unravel the associations between crop management, socio-economic and soil variability and soybean yield, and the technical efficiency (TE) measure. Soybean yield realized by sample farmers varied widely from 5 to 28 q/ha. RT analysis showed that yield variability across farmers was affected by multiple and interacting production and socio-economic constraints such as extension contact and source of information, use of plant nutrients and soil amendments, seed rate and treatment, plant density, pests and diseasemanagement,land topographyand soil fertility, labour and capital management. Technical efficiencyanalysis suggested that optimal use of farm inputs and the elimination of socio-economic and structural constraints can improve efficiencyin soybean production. In conclusion, the analysis results suggested that the farmyield variability can be reduced by adjusting crop management practices of low yielding farms through integrated and targeted extension approaches.

A high yielding genotype of Indian mustard SKM 1328 was evolved from cross between IC 385682 and SKM 0820 at Castor-MustardResearchStation, Sardarkrushinagar DantiwadaAgricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar and identified for release as Gujarat Mustard 6 (Banas Sona) for Gujarat state. The genotype SKM 1328 was identified owing to its superior performance in preliminary yield trial conducted at Sardarkrushinagar during 2013-14. It was evaluated in multi location trials from 2014-15 to 2018-19, simultaneously it was screened against aphid and powdery mildew under late sown epiphytotic conditions at Sardarkrushinagar. Under AICRP trial, it was tested under Initial Varietal Trial (Timely sown, irrigated) at four different centres of zone IV in the year 2017-18. The mean seed yield of GM 6 (Banas Sona) variety under timely sown irrigated condition in Gujarat state was 2541 kg/ha with an increase of 14.20, 13.98 and 11.94 per cent over the check varieties Kranti, GM 3 and GDM 4, respectively. Under limited irrigation conditions, GM 6 recorded 1758 kg/ha of seed yield which was 8.85, 27.21, 9.85 and 17.75 per cent higher over the check varieties Kranti, GM 1, GM 3 and GDM 4, respectively. It was also found superior in quality traits. It recorded high oil content (38.89 %) with oil yield of 988 kg/ha which was 20.34, 24.75 and 15.02 per cent higher as compared to the check varieties Kranti, GM 3 and GDM 4, correspondingly. Besides, it also possessed comparatively high oleic acid (12.51%) than the check varieties. It has higher 1000 seed weight (5.66 g) as compared to all three checks except GM 3 which recorded 5.72 g 1000 seed weight. Considering the average seed yield in irrigated as well as limited irrigated condition and quality of the genotype SKM 1328, it was proposed and identified for release as Gujarat Mustard 6 (Banas Sona) for general cultivation by mustard growing farmers of Gujarat state.

Published: October 2023

A field experiment was conducted at Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru College of Agriculture and Research Institute, Karaikal to study the effect of plant growth regulators on yield and nutrient uptake of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) during summer 2021. The field experiment with thirteen treatments was conducted on a loamy sand soil in a randomized block design and replicated thrice. The treatments included four plant growth regulators at various concentrations (NAA 50 ppm, NAA 100 ppm, CCC 100 ppm, BA 5 ppm and HA 500 ppm) and water spray at two levels of application (one spray - at flowering stage and two sprays - at flowering and capsule formation stages) and an unsprayed control. The results revealed that spraying NAA 100 ppm twice recorded the highest seed yield (633 kg/ha), haulm yield (1296 kg/ha) as well as the uptake of NPK by sesame when compared to other growth regulators.

THE GENESIS OF GARNET-PYROXENE SYENITES (SVIATONOSSITES) OF THE MALOBYSTRINSKY MASSIF (SLYUDYANKA COMPLEX, SOUTH BAIKAL REGION): RESULTS OF GEOCHEMICAL AND ISOTOPIC STUDIES
Authors: Demonterova E. I. , Reznitsky L. Z. , Ivanov A. V.
Published: October 2023

This paper deals with the study of syenites and sviatonossites (andradite-bearing syenites) of the Malobystrinsky massif of the Slyudyanka complex (South Baikal region, Siberia), and a large monzonite dike similar in age and composition to the rocks of the massif considered. The studied rocks belong to a series of highly ferriferous and metaluminous A-type granitoids (ASI index <1). They are characterized by SiO2 45–65 wt. %, K2O+Na2O up to 12 wt. %, MgO <4 wt. %, TiO2 up to 2.5 wt. %, and Al2O3 up to 17 wt. %. CaO varies in a wide range, from 2.2 to 14.7 wt. %. The rocks are similar to each other in trace element composition and show patterns with troughs for Th-U, Nb-Ta and Ti. Low-amplitude negative Eu anomaly is observed in the distribution spectra of rare earth elements for the entire rock complex. The obtained Sm-Nd age of sviatonossites in the Malobystrinsky massif is 487.1±6.1 Ma (MSWD=0.99). Our results indicate that syenites and monzonites have εNd(t) –1.9…–2.8, at εSr(t) 21–30, and sviatonossites have εNd(t) –3.8…–4.1 at εSr(t) – 26. Model ages TNd(DM) for all rock types are Mesoproterozoic (1.3–1.4 Ga). Based on the chemical and Sr-Nd isotopic composition of the magmatic rocks studied, it can be assumed that they have been generated by partial melting of lower crustal rocks (amphibolites). Crystallization of andradite garnet in syenite magma can occur due to melt contamination with metamorphic host rocks of the Slyudyanka complex.

We present the first systematic results of U-Pb LA-ICP-MS dating of detrital zircons from 12 samples representing different stratigraphic levels of 5 sections of the Permian-Triassic rocks, located within the eastern part of the Moscow basin (syneclise) – Zhukov ravine, Astashikha, Nedubrovo, Balebikha and Klykovo. It is shown that the accumulation of the Upper Permian and Lower Triassic terrigenous complexes occurred under the influence of competing sources with two contrasting provenance signals with Neoproterozoic (Vendian)-Paleozoic and Paleo-Mesoproterozoic ages. The identified provenance signal patterns were used to detail the correlation and stratigraphic subdivision of the Permian-Triassic terrigenous complex of the Moscow basin. Raman spectroscopy of detrital zircon, first applied to the Permian-Triassic rocks of the East European platform, made it possible to identify sedimentary complexes of a relatively older terrigenous basin as a separate source of zircons, which experienced superimposed thermal impact in the VendianCambrian time (~500–600 Ma).

The Overestimation of Heart Failure in Cause-of-Death Statistics
Authors:   Statistics Netherlands (CBS), Cause-of-death statistics, The Netherlands., Harteloh P.P.M.
Published: October 2023

Heart Failure is one of the top ten leading causes of death in mortality statistics. Mortality statistics report underlying causes of death, i.e. starting points of causal chains leading to death. Heart failure always has a cause and therefore cannot be such a starting point. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explain the occurrence of heart failure in mortality statistics. Survey among a sample of 750 certifiers who mentioned heart failure on a death certificate. Comparison of the physician's opinion on the role of heart failure as a cause of death with the outcome of automated coding for statistics. The survey response was 56%. When a doctor mentions heart failure on a death certificate, the disease is considered underlying cause of death in 21.4% of the cases. In statistics, the disease is assigned this role in 39.2% of the (same) cases. Heart failure is overestimated by 17.8 percentage points or 45% (95%-CI: 40-50%) in mortality statistics. In cause-of-death statistics, heart failure is more often regarded as underlying cause of death than intended by the certifying physician. This overestimation is caused by incorrectly completed death certificates, conceptual confusion and a real difference in opinion on the role of heart failure as underlying cause of death.
