Minerály coronaditové skupiny z Třebíče - Boroviny a Řípova (Morava, Česká republika)
Authors: Jirásek Jakub , Matýsek Dalibor , Minaříková Aneta
Published: September 2022

Localities Třebíč - Borovina (GPS N 49° 12.400‘ E 015° 51.280‘) and nearby Řípov (N 49° 12.700‘ E 015° 50.850‘) are known since 19th century. They represent variegated residual rocks originated during Tertiary? weathering of marbles, dolomite marbles, calcic and magnesian skarns, quartzites and hornblendites intersected by aplites and granitic pegmatites. These rocks enveloped by the biotite gneisses and migmatites close to the contact with the Třebíč Pluton belong to the Moldanubian Zone of the Bohemian Massif. In the past, there was a short-time production of Fe-ore from the weathering zone at Třebíč - Borovina, as well as production of mineral raw-material for brickworks. Since the localities are inaccessible for a long time, we investigated 11 mineral samples of manganese oxidic minerals deposited in the museum collections (Museum Vysočina Třebíč, National Museum in Prague - Natural History Museum, Museum of the South-eastern Moravia in Zlín): 10 from Borovina and 1 from Řípov, labeled as pyrolusite, psilomelane, and wad. They usually form botryoidal black aggregates up to 20 cm in size. Powder X-ray diffraction proved the presence of the coronadite group minerals, accompanied by birnessite (one sample), kaolinite, quartz, gypsum, and minerals of the spinel and chlorite groups. Unit-cell parameters of the coronadite group minerals range as follows: a = 9.750 - 9.939 Å, b = 2.851 - 2.869 Å, c = 9.840 - 10.024 Å, and β = 88.66 - 90.77° (for the monoclinic space group 2/m). Scanning electron microscopy showed the botryoidal texture, where at least part of the zoning visible in back-scattered electrons is in fact the result of density of the mineral aggregate, alternating from massive to fibrous, sometimes with the atol microstructure. Empirical average mineral formulae, based on WDS analyses, are: hollandite from Borovina (Ba2+0.40 Ca2+0.16Mg2+0.13Cu2+0.03Zn2+0.02Pb2+0.01K+0.18Na+0.04)Σ0.98 [(Mn4+5.90Si4+0.06P5+0.04)Σ6.00
(Mn1.77Fe0.20Al0.11)3+Σ2.07] Σ8.07O16, cryptomelane from Borovina (K+0.51Na+0.04Ba2+0.20Ca2+0.09Zn2+0.05Cu2+0.03Mg2+0.02Pb2+0.02Co2+0.01)Σ0.97 [(Mn4+6.91 Si4+0.03P5+0.06)Σ7.00(Mn0.72Fe0.07Al0.06)3+Σ0.85]Σ7.85O16, and cryptomelane from Řípov (K+0.66Na+0.03Ba2+0.14Ca2+0.04 Zn2+0.03Cu2+0.01)Σ0.92[(Mn4+6.88Si4+0.03P5+0.09)Σ7.00 (Mn0.77Al0.11 Fe0.04)3+Σ0.93] Σ7.93O16. Most significant are substitutions Al3+ → Mn3+-1 and Fe3+ → Al3+-1 at the M3+ site, also Mg2+ → Ba2+-1 and Ca2+ → Ba2+-1 at the A2+ site in hollandite. Accessory minerals - baddeleyite and probable xenotime-(Y), present in the hollandite and cryptomelane aggregates, were identified only by EDS analyses.

Aborto en México: estrategias discursivas en seis textos monológicos digitales de la iglesia católica, frente a los derechos de las mujeres a decidir sobre la interrupción legal de su embarazo
Authors: Rico Luis Alfonso Guadarrama , Vilchis Jannet Socorro Valero , García Sandra Lorena Padilla
Published: September 2022

Con base en el esquema ideológico propuesto por Teun Van Dijk, se analizan seis textos discursivos de tipo monológico, que se oponen al aborto y que fueron publicados por el semanario católico: Desde la Fe, durante el año 2019. Se concluye que las estrategias monológicas discursivas de los seis textos analizados, han contribuido, como parte del poder del Estado Vaticano, a que se impida que las mujeres latinoamericanas decidan libremente sobre el destino de sus cuerpos, así como de su salud sexual y reproductiva. El artículo incentiva a que los poderes legislativos asuman una posición frontalmente laica en torno a la Interrupción Legal del Embarazo (ILE), por el bien de la salud y la libertad de las mujeres del mundo.

The purpose of this article is to present a computer simulation of a fictitious project of a Virtual Power Plant, or Virtual Power Plant (VPP), in a housing estate buildings in the city of Recife-PE, Brazil. The location was chosen because it has buildings with regular sizes, excellent solar irradiation throughout the year and a power distribution grid around each block. Although theoretical, the project can be implemented because each building of the proposed model would act as a VPP aggregator with photovoltaic solar generation and energy storage in batteries composing the Distributed Energy Resources (RED) for energy supply. The modeling of the system is being developed with the OpenDSS program, OpenSource license, commonly used by Distribution Service Operators, together with the Python language. The buildings will be grouped into subgroups and groups with simulation of three scenarios to observe the performance of the aggregators to provide a load of 40kW of the distribution network. The results demonstrate that the aggregators have an important contribution in the supply of electric energy and the association of more aggregators increases the reliability of the system. Computer simulations of the proposed scenarios help to understand the interaction between different energy sources, contributing to studies and planning of electrical systems.

Published: September 2022

Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have piqued the interest of material scientists in recent years due to their unique physicochemical properties which are dependent on their size, shape, and chemical surroundings. The sol gel combustion is one of the most straightforward and practical technique for getting tiny and similar size and shape of the powder out of all the current lead oxide nanoparticle synthesis techniques. In this study, PbO nanoparticles are prepared using the sol-gel method followed by an auto combustion process. This research is aimed at the particle size, shape, thermal analysis, and optical properties of nanostructured PbO. Several microscopic, spectroscopic, and thermogravimetric analysis are employed for the structural characterization of lead oxide nanoparticles. Tiny lead oxide particles with a diameter of 60 nanometres have been prepared. The prepares sample’s optical band gap was discovered to be 2.44 electronvolt. Thermal investigations indicate the thermal behaviour and stability of synthesized lead oxide powder and are described in details.

Authors:   Postgraduate Program in Physical Education, Federal University of Pernambuco - Brazil, Martins de Farias Shirlley Jackllanny
Published: September 2022

Background: The Health Gym Program (HGP) is the main program to promote health and physical activity in the public health system in Brazil. This intervention uses financial resources from the federal government and municipalities to encourage the population of Brazilian municipalities to adopt more active and healthy lifestyles. Objective: To evaluate the impact of the Health Gym Program on hospital admissions for type II diabetes mellitus in the state of Pernambuco – Brazil. Method: This is an impact assessment of public policies that used a panel of data from all 185 municipalities in Pernambuco from 2007 to 2018. The 130 municipalities that adopted the HGP from 2011 were designated as treaties while the others 55 that did not implement the program made up the control group. The empirical strategy used an econometric modeling that uses the difference-in-differences estimator weighted by the propensity score. Results: Hospitalizations for diabetes represented, respectively, 1.47% and 1.00% of all hospitalizations performed in 2007 and 2018. The expenditure on these hospitalizations was US$ 899,687.34 in 2018 and corresponded to 0.59% of the cost of all hospitalizations. The municipalities that implemented the HGP spent an average of 19.74% less on hospitalizations for diabetes than the municipalities that did not, and this result was statistically significant at the 5% level. Conclusion: The Health Gym Program impacted in reducing the expenses with hospitalizations for diabetes when comparing the municipalities that implemented and those that did not implement this intervention.

Published: September 2022

In the era of industrial revolution 4.0, digital technology is constantly improving in many areas of industry, particularly in business. It forces every business, whether large corporations or small businesses, to make various adjustments in order to keep up with the advancement of digital technology. They should be aware of how far their improvement and readiness have advanced in the digital era. This paper measures the digital readiness of SMEs and categorizes them into the level of digital readiness. The research examined the level of digital readiness among businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in West Java. A survey of 113 SMEs in West Java was conducted to assess their digital readiness. This research used a descriptive survey research approach. The research method itself is carried out by using a cross sectional survey method. Five variables used in this research include people, process, strategy, technology, and integration. Findings indicated that SMEs in Indonesia show a low level of readiness in relation to Industry 4.0. The majority of the respondents are aware about the phenomenon of digitalization, but they are currently not ready to adapt or use various innovations in their businesses. People, process, strategy, technology, and integration are the five variables analyzed, and the variable showing the best readiness to face digitization is people. SMEs business owners are still taking initial steps to identify the most appropriate strategy to approach industrial revolution 4.0. SMEs must take advantage of existing opportunities, especially with the availability of various information and data to develop business and make decisions. In general, the majority of businesses in Indonesia are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are aware of the development of digitalization but are hesitant to implement it and require extensive assistance from various parties to understand and implement digitalization in their business.

Authors: Tandos Rosita
Published: September 2022

Transnational domestic work is considered a multi-billion business that involves mostly women as workers, but requires cooperation between sending and receiving countries. It is also supported by private sector recruitment agents and institutions that provide services such as transportation, banking, and health. At the local level, this business is maintained by social, cultural, and economic factors that keep the flow of worker migration. This paper specifically focuses on the life of returned transnational domestic workers living in Bondan village of the Indramayu district (West Java province, Indonesia) including two main points of women’s experience on working overseas and its impact to the life of the women. Applying participatory action research method, the study involved fifty female participants (n=50) in in-depth interviews. The study shows that due to work-related issues, not all of the women are successful to achieve their dreams of helping their families. Furthermore, applying theory of change and action, the study introduces a model of community economic development (CED) that aims to help women and families. The model has been developed in a form of CED project aiming to improve the women’s knowledge, entrepreneurial skill and experiences, business management, teamwork and collective responsibilities.

Authors: Kajwang Ben
Published: September 2022

Purpose: Manufacturing firms are key to successful economic development, since they helps generate virtuous and cumulative linkages with other sectors of the economy, drives technological progress, and has the strongest potential for productivity gains. But, significant as they are, manufacturers face varied exposures with customers, employees, and operations. Innovation, from new technologies to expanding markets, can introduce opportunity but also potential vulnerabilities. The purpose of this work is to enhance the reader’s understanding on the various contribution of Industrial all risks insurance to the growth of manufacturing firms in Kenya.

Methodology: A desktop literature review was used for this purpose. Relevant journal articles for the study were identified using search engines such as Google Scholar, Google Books, Semantic Scholar, Science.gov and Research Gate. Studies done between 2015 and 2022 were considered.

Findings: From the findings, researchers have shown that subscribing to individual insurance covers can be expensive and might leave insurance gaps. The findings suggest that subscribing to all risk insurance policies have a direct impact on the growth and expansion of the firms in the manufacturing sector.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends that all manufacturing firms in Kenya should seek Industrial all risks insurance coverage as it provides for protection against all potential incidents that can result to massive losses. Manufacturing firms should also seek Industrial all risks insurance coverage as an effort to restrict the loss to their balance sheets, and in that sense, helps them to stay solvent.

Anger, Faith and Bewildered Fragments of Self: The Shaping of Ethos in an Argentinean Translation of Sarah Kane’s 4.48 Psychosis
Authors: Spoturno Maria Laura , Zucchi Mariano
Published: September 2022

4.48 Psychosis is British playwright Sarah Kane’s final play. Its opening took place at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs in London in June 2000, only a few months after Kane’s suicide at King’s College Hospital. The initial reception of the play was surrounded by controversy in the United Kingdom, with some reviewers and critics interpreting the theatrical text as primarily autobiographical (Urban 2011, p. 304; Claycomb 2012, p. 113). Informed by a socio-discursive perspective, which specifically looks at the construction of ethos (Amossy 2009, 2010; Author 2017; Author 2019, 2020), this research aims at contributing to the study of subjectivity in translated drama. Focusing on Rafael Spregelburd’s Argentinean Spanish translation of 4.48 Psychosis, published by Losada in 2006, we explore the shaping of subjectivity in the translated dramatic text highlighting the way in which the persona of the translator builds within and beyond the translated text. The case under study features the task of a drama translator who, probably on account of his vital presence in the Argentinean theatrical landscape, is often perceived as integral to the performance text. In this article, we will argue that an analysis of 4.48 Psychosis and, for that matter, of the translation of the play, based on the facts of the playwright’s life, may lack in substance and is, therefore, unproductive to assess the complex quality of the piece. While Spregelburd’s translation uses dramatic strategies and techniques that successfully foster the image or ethos of a rupturist playwright, it still stresses the autobiographical character often attributed to the text. This is particularly evident in the female gender construction of the main voice in the play, which is ambiguous in the source text. Our analysis therefore specifically looks at certain subjective forms in the translated text such as the use of inflected female marked adjectives. In a complementary fashion, our study also identifies the use of masculine forms and masculine generic forms to translate indeterminate forms in the original, which help establish antagonisms between female and male construed identities in the target text. This view, which becomes dominant in the translated text, is reinforced by the image or ethos of the translator as this is shaped within the translated dramatic text and its paratexts. Our analysis also explores the subjective construction of the translator’s persona and positioning in the target dramatic text and system. Assessed within the framework of Spregelburd’s whole production, detailed consideration is given to the use of paratextual devices as well as the translator’s own declarations in interviews.

Partindo de uma problematização que indaga a atualização das políticas para o semiárido, este artigo explora o espaço das experiências e das prática dos atores sociais, com o objetivo “desempacotar” as políticas de convivência com o semiárido no município de Cumaru, Pernambuco. O trabalho se baseia em pesquisa de caráter empírico, realizada no nesse município, localizado no Agreste Setentrional de Pernambuco, entre os meses de outubro de 2019 e janeiro de 2020. A partir da opção por uma metodologia qualitativa, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, combinadas com a observação participante. Foi possível perceber como os diversos atores se engajaram no processo político em Cumaru, e como eles foram encontrando formas de interferir no curso de ação das políticas. Finalmente, registra-se que o posicionamento teórico, que rompe com a noção de linearidade associada ao planejamento e implementação hierarquizada de políticas públicas, permitiu uma melhor aproximação às realidades e situações específicas vividas pelas pessoas que convivem com o semiárido em seus cotidianos.

COVID-19 Vaccine Survey among Healthcare Workers. A Community Experience.
Authors: Theophilus Nikita , Rios-Bedoya Carlos , Bachuwa Ghassan
Published: September 2022

INTRODUCTION

In December 2019, the coronavirus (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) made its first appearance in Wuhan, China with a pandemic declared by March 2020. As the death toll continued to rise, the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended healthcare workers to strongly encourage the general population to receive COVID-19 vaccinations. For this to be effective, it is important to understand the general perceptions of the health care workers and persons associated with the healthcare industry towards their acceptance of the vaccine.

METHODS

The authors of this 2021 cross-sectional study administered a 28-item survey to a convenience sample of 1,257 (43.1%) healthcare system workers out of a total of 2,915. The survey assessed respondents’ demographic information, COVID-19 vaccine status, work-related exposures to COVID-19, reasons for receiving or refusing the vaccine, and primary sources of vaccine related information. Respondents were classified as vaccine status/intention positive or negative.

RESULTS

Those in the youngest 18 - 35 years age group were significantly less likely to receive the vaccine (p < 0.01) and male healthcare workers were significantly more likely to receive the vaccine (p = 0.01). White respondents, 759 (77.9%) were also more likely to receive the vaccine than African-American, 127 (13%). It was more likely for persons to be vaccinated when encouraged/provided (p = 0.01) information by their respective employers. A subgroup of 277 (22.0%) respondents reported their employer as the primary source of vaccine information, causing the authors to conclude that employer information was the most influential informational factor impacting COVID-19 vaccination.

CONCLUSION

Vaccine hesitancy continues to be a major obstacle hampering the success of COVID-19 vaccination promotion programs. Results indicate that a combination of a prior COVID-19 diagnosis, information dispensed by a person’s employer, persons’ home living situations, and contact with persons who had an uneventful post vaccination experience increased the likelihood of vaccination.
Irrigation Solutions in Total Joint Arthroplasty
Authors: Caid Matthew , Valk Josiah , Danoff Jonathan
Published: September 2022

INTRODUCTION

Despite advancements in the field of adult reconstruction, prosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a common and devastating complication of total joint arthroplasty. Eradication of these infections can often prove difficult, and they remain a source of considerable morbidity and mortality. This clinical review paper will focus on some of the more commonly used irrigation solutions; povidone-iodine (PI), chlorhexidine (CHG), acetic acid (AA), hydrogen peroxide (HP), antibiotic irrigations, taurolidine, and polyhexanide-betaine (PB)

SUMMARY OF THE EVIDENCE

Significant research has been performed on the prevention of PJI, including use of intraoperative joint irrigation solutions. Several solutions have been theorized to aid in infection prevention, but no evidence-based practice guidelines in this area of orthopaedics have been established. There is a paucity of prospective randomized control trials to compare the efficacy of these joint irrigation solutions.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors present a review regarding seven major categories of commonly used intraoperative joint irrigation solutions. The current literature fails to demonstrate a clear consensus for a preferred solution and concentration for povidone-iodine, chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, antibiotic irrigations, taurolidine, and polyhexanide-betaine. Prospective, randomized control trials directly comparing these different irrigation solutions are needed.

Abstract. Theoretical models of the below-cloud scavenging (BCS) of aerosol
by rain yield scavenging rates that are 1–2 orders of magnitude smaller than
observations and associated empirical schemes for submicron-sized aerosol.
Even when augmented with processes which may explain this disparity, such as
phoresis and rear capture in the raindrop wake, the theoretical BCS rates
remain an order of magnitude less than observations. Despite this disparity,
both theoretical and empirical BCS schemes remain in wide use within
numerical aerosol models. BCS is an important sink for atmospheric aerosol,
in particular for insoluble aerosol such as mineral dust, which is less
likely to be scavenged by in-cloud processes than purely soluble aerosol. In
this paper, various widely used theoretical and empirical BCS models are
detailed and then applied to mineral dust in climate simulations with the
Met Office's Unified Model in order the gauge the sensitivity of aerosol
removal to the choice of BCS scheme. We show that the simulated accumulation-mode dust lifetime ranges from 5.4 d in using an empirical BCS scheme
based on observations to 43.8 d using a theoretical scheme, while the
coarse-mode dust lifetime ranges from 0.9 to 4 d, which highlights the
high sensitivity of dust concentrations to BCS scheme. We also show that
neglecting the processes of rear capture and phoresis may overestimate
submicron-sized dust burdens by 83 %, while accounting for modal widths
and mode merging in modal aerosol models alongside BCS is important for
accurately reproducing observed aerosol size distributions and burdens. This
study provides a new parameterisation for the rear capture of aerosol by
rain and is the first to explicitly incorporate the rear-capture mechanism
in climate model simulations. Additionally, we answer many outstanding
questions pertaining to the numerical modelling of BCS of aerosol by rain
and provide a computationally inexpensive BCS algorithm that can be readily
incorporated into other aerosol models.

Abstract. Historically, ecosystem models have treated rainfall as
the primary moisture source driving litter decomposition. In many arid and
semi-arid lands, however, non-rainfall moisture (fog, dew, and water vapor)
plays a more important role in supporting microbial activity and carbon
turnover. To date though, we lack a robust approach for modeling the role of
non-rainfall moisture in litter decomposition. We developed a series of
simple litter decay models with different moisture sensitivity and
temperature sensitivity functions to explicitly represent the role of
non-rainfall moisture in the litter decay process. To evaluate model
performance, we conducted a 30-month litter decomposition study at 6 sites
along a fog and dew gradient in the Namib desert, spanning almost an eightfold
difference in non-rainfall moisture frequency. Litter decay rates in the
field correlated with fog and dew frequencies but not with rainfall. Including
either temperature or non-rainfall moisture sensitivity functions improved
model performance, but the combination of temperature and moisture
sensitivity together provided more realistic estimates of litter
decomposition than relying on either alone. Model performance was similar
regardless of whether we used continuous moisture sensitivity functions
based on relative humidity or a simple binary function based on the presence
of moisture, although a Gaussian temperature sensitivity outperformed a
monotonically increasing Q10 temperature function. We demonstrate that
explicitly modeling non-rainfall moisture and temperature together is
necessary to accurately capture litter decay dynamics in a fog-affected
dryland system and provide suggestions for how to incorporate non-rainfall
moisture into existing Earth system models.

Abstract. Pine plantations are the dominant specie currently planted within the South African commercial forestry industry. Improvements in bioeconomy markets for dissolving wood pulp products have seen an expansion in fast-growing Eucalyptus plantations due to their higher productivity rates and better pulping properties than pine. This has raised concerns regarding the expansion of Eucalyptus plantations and how they will affect water resources as they have been reported to have higher transpiration (T) and total evaporation rates (ET) than pine. We compared T (mm), diameter at breast height (DBH, cm) and leaf area index (LAI) of an eight-year-old Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus nitens clonal hybrid (GN) with twenty-year-old Pinus elliottii. Transpiration was measured for two consecutive seasons (2019’ 20 and 2020’ 21) using a heat ratio sap-flow method. The ET was calculated using published values of soil evaporation and rainfall canopy interception to quantify the impact of each species on water resources. In 2019’ 20 season, annual T for P. elliottii exceeded GN by 28 %, while 2020’ 21 season showed no significant differences. This was associated with 17 and 21 % greater LAI for P. elliottii than GN in 2019’ 20 and 2020’ 21 season, respectively. Dq increments were statistically similar (p > 0.05) in 2019’ 20 season, whereas the 2020’ 21 season produced significant differences (p < 0.05). Transpiration for P. elliottii showed a strong (R2 > 0.70) linear relationship with solar radiation, LAI and shallow soil matric potential, while GN had a good (R2 > 0.70) relationship with solar radiation only. The soil water potential was very low at the GN site, indicating that the site was water stressed, with trees competing for water as soon as it becomes available to sustain T, causing a rapid soil water depletion after rainfall, while P. elliottii used water more gradually. P. elliottii estimated ET was 18 % greater than GN in 2019’ 2020, with no significant differences in 2020’ 21 season. Results from this study indicated that on water limited sites, T and ET between GN and P. elliottii may not be different, however, in subtropical regions, GN T and ET have the potential to exceed P. elliottii, causing soil water depletion. Long-term total soil water balance studies in the same region would be beneficial to understand the impact of long-term commercial forestry on water resources.
Dansgaard-Oeschger events in climate models: Review and baseline MIS3 protocol

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) events, millennial-scale climate oscillations between stadial and interstadial conditions (of up to 10–15 °C in amplitude at high northern latitudes), occurred throughout the Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS3; 27.8–59.4 ka) period. The climate modelling community up to now has not been able to answer the question: Are our climate models too stable to simulate D-O events? To address this, this manuscript lays the ground-work for a MIS3 D-O protocol for general circulation models which are used in the International Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) assessments. We review: D-O terminology, community progress on simulating D-O events in these IPCC-class models (processes and published examples), and evidence about the boundary conditions under which D-O events occur. We find that no model exhibits D-O like behaviour under pre-industrial conditions. Some, but not all, models exhibit D-O like oscillations under MIS3 and/or full glacial conditions. Greenhouse gases and ice-sheet configurations are crucial. However most models have not run simulations of long enough duration to be sure which models show D-O like behaviour, under either MIS3 or full glacial states. We propose a MIS3 baseline protocol at 38 ky (38 to 32 ky) period, which (1) shows a regular sequence of D-O events, and (2) features the intermediate ice-sheet configuration and medium-to-low MIS3 greenhouse gas values which our review suggests are most conducive to D-O like behaviour in models. We also provide a protocol for a second "kicked Heinrich meltwater" experiment, since previous work suggests that this variant may be helpful in preconditioning a state in models which is conducive to D-O events. This review and protocol is intended to provide modelling groups investigating MIS3 D-O oscillations with a common framework.
In situ LA-ICPMS U–Pb dating of sulfates: applicability of carbonate reference materials as matrix-matched standards

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Recent developments in analytical capabilities in the field of in situ laser ablation mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) have expanded the applications of U–Pb geochronometers in low-U minerals such as carbonates or garnets. The rapid evolution of the technique relies on well-characterized matrix-matched reference materials. In this article, we explore the suitability of using carbonate as an “almost-matrix-matched reference material” for in situ U–Pb dating of sulfates. For such purpose, we have used the astrochronologically dated gypsum and anhydrite samples deposited during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.97–5.33 Ma) and compared these dates with the U–Pb ages obtained by LA-ICPMS. Although the majority of the samples failed due to the elevated common Pb content and low 238U/204Pb ratios, five of the samples showed a higher dispersion on U/Pb ratios. The obtained dates in four of these samples are comparable with the expected ages, while another gave an unexpected younger age, each of them with 6 %–11 % of uncertainty. The pit depth of the spots showed that the sulfates ablate similar to carbonates, so the offset due to the crater geometry mismatch or downhole fractionation can be assumed to be negligible. To sum up, the bias between the U–Pb and expected cyclostratigraphic ages, if any, is included in the uncertainty, and thus the results obtained here suggest that carbonate reference material is currently the best option for standardization of in situ U–Pb sulfate analyses.
