Electrophysiological Characterization of Transport Across Outer Membrane Channels from Gram-Negative Bacteria in Their Native Environment
Authors: Wang Jiajun , Terrasse Rémi , Bafna Jayesh Arun , Benier Lorraine , Winterhalter Mathias
Published: July 2019

Multi-drug-resistance in Gram-negative bacteria is often associated with low permeability of outer membrane. To investigate the role of membrane protein channels in the passage of antibiotics, we extract, purify, reconstitute them into artificial bilayer. Here we demonstrate that using a fusion of native outer membrane vesicles (OMV) facilitates channel reconstitution into bilayer and allows to characterize them in their native environment. Proteins from E. coli (OmpF, OmpC) were overexpressed from the host, and the corresponding OMVs were collected. Each OMV fusion revealed surprisingly only a few channel activities. The asymmetry of the OMV translates after fusion into bilayer with the LPS dominantly present at OMV addition side. Compared to conventional methods, channels fused from OMVs have similar conductance but broader distribution. The further addition of Enrofloxacin yielded higher association but lower dissociation rates attribute to the presence of LPS. We conclude using OMV is a robust approach for functional and structural studies of membrane channels in the native membrane.
Pd-Catalyzed Dearomative Three-Component Reaction of Bromoarenes with Diazo Compounds and Allylborates
Authors: Komatsuda Masaaki , Kato Hiroki , Muto Kei , Yamaguchi Junichiro
Published: July 2019

Acatalytic dearomative three-component reaction of bromoarenes with TMS-diazomethane and allyl borate was developed. The key of this assembling reaction is the use of a diazo compound to generate a Pd-π-benzyl intermediate through a Pd-carbenoid species. This method allowed for a dearomative functionalization using arenes as limiting reagents. Heteroaryl bromides were also applicable to give dearomatized structures under the reaction conditions.
Computational Screening for Nested Organic Cage Complexes
Authors: Berardo Enrico , Greenaway Rebecca L. , Miklitz Marcin , Cooper Andrew I. , Jelfs Kim
Published: July 2019

Supramolecular self-assembly has allowed the synthesis of beautiful and complex molecular architectures, such as cages, macrocycles, knots, catenanes, and rotaxanes. We focus here on porous organic cages, which are molecules that have an intrinsic cavity and multiple windows. These cages have been shown to be highly effective at molecular separations and encapsulations. We investigate the possibility of complexes where one cage sits within the cavity of another. We term this a `nested cage' complex. The design of such complexes is highly challenging, so we use computational screening to explore 8712 different pair combinations, running almost 0.5M calculations to sample the phase space of the cage conformations. Through analysing the binding energies of the assemblies, we identify highly energetically favourable pairs of cages in nested cage complexes. The vast majority of the most favourable complexes include the large imine cage reported by Gawronski and co-workers using a [8+12] reaction of 4-tert-butyl-2,6-diformylphenol and cis,cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane. The most energetically favourable nested cage complex combines the Gawronski cage with a dodecaamide cage that has six vertices, which can sit in the six windows of the larger cage. We also identify cages that have favourable binding energies for self-catenation.

Bővülő állatkert? – Az Európai Unió Bíróságának ítéletei a szlovák civil szervezetek környezeti engedélyezési eljárásokba való bevonásáról
Authors: Szegedi László
Published: July 2019

Az ENSZ keretein belül elfogadott Aarhusi Egyezmény (a továbbiakban: Egyezmény) a környezeti ügyekben az információhoz való hozzáférésről, a nyilvánosságnak a döntéshozatalban történő részvételéről és az igazságszolgáltatáshoz való jogbiztosításáról rendelkezik. Vegyes egyezményként olyan nemzetközi megállapodás, amelynek a tagállamok mellett az Európai Unió (akkor Európai Közösség) is részes fele, így annak követelményei az Unió jogának részét képezik. Az utóbbi években az Európai Unió Bírósága (a továbbiakban: EUB) aktivista felfogást követve több döntésében is kinyilvánította, hogy az Egyezmény eljárási követelményeinek széleskörű érvényesülését a tagállami bíróságoknak biztosítaniuk kell. Szlovákia különösen érintett az EUB megállapításai révén. A „szlovák barnamedvék” (C-240/09. sz.)ügyben hozott ítéletével az EUB nem ismerte ugyan el, hogy a civil szervezetek közvetlenül hivatkozhatnának az Egyezmény azon rendelkezésére, amely elvárja az igazságszolgáltatáshoz való hozzáférés tág értelemben vett biztosítását. Ugyanakkor a tagállami bíróságok egyezménykonform jogértelmezési kötelezettségét általános jelleggel fektette le ebben az ügyben a luxemburgi esetjog, ami több, e régióbeli tagállam jogalkalmazására is kihatott. Ezt követően pedig a „szlovák szarvasok” (C-243/15. sz.) ügyben (amely a szakirodalomban gyakran LZ II. ügyként, illetve szlovák barnamedvék II. ügyként is szerepel) hozott legújabb ítéletében az EUB ismét az eddigi (kiterjesztő) megközelítését követte. Eszerint ugyanis az igazságszolgáltatáshoz való széles körű hozzáférés aarhusi követelménye akkor teljesül, ha a fellépni kívánó civil szervezetek ügyféli minőségéről azelőtt születik jogerős döntés, hogy az alapeljárás jogerősen lezárulna. A címben említett tagállami eljárási autonómia bár elméletileg máig érvényesül, az EUB aarhusi ítéletei egyértelműen jelzik, hogy a luxemburgi esetjog azt egyre inkább visszaszorítja. E gyakorlat tükrében persze kérdéses, hogy az említett uniós bírósági gyakorlat csak a környezetvédelmi ágazatra vonatkozik-e, vagy egyre inkább általános követelményként kell-e ezekre a tagállami bírónak tekintenie. Célom az Egyezmény aláírásának 20. évfordulóján annak bemutatása, hogy ez az aktivista hozzáállás milyen típusú ügyekben merült fel egy olyan szomszédos államban, ahol az EUB több esetben is állást foglalt már az aarhusi követelmények értelmezését illetően, valamint annak vizsgálata, hogy ezek az esetjogi megállapítások mennyiben kaphattak határokon átívelő jelentőséget. Ugyanis a korábbi ítélet több régióbeli tagállam ítélkezésében is hivatkozási alapként tűnt fel, így ezen ítéletek Magyarországon is külön figyelemre tarthatnak számot.
Az alkotmány alapvető struktúrájának bírói védelme: az alkotmánymódosítások bírói felülvizsgálatának gyakorlata Indiában
Authors: Zsugyó Virág
Published: July 2019

A fennálló alkotmány bírói védelmének egyik ritkán előforduló, ám nagy jelentőségű esete az alkotmánymódosítások felülvizsgálata. Az alkotmánymódosítások bírói felülvizsgálata a közelmúltig partikulárisnak tűnt, de az elmúlt években a nemzetközi és a hazai jogtudományi diskurzus fókuszába került. Jóllehet az alkotmányellenes alkotmánymódosítások problémája számos elméleti kérdést vet fel, és a probléma komplexitása, valamint gazdag elméleti háttere miatt a bíróságoknak kihívást jelent erről dönteni, mégis az alkotmánymódosítások bírói felülvizsgálatának mára kiterjedt gyakorlata van. A módosítások felülvizsgálatát elvégző bíróságok közül az indiai legfelső bíróság gyakorlata mintaadónak számít.
Penyelesaian Perkara Pidana Melalui Mediasi Penal: Access To Justice Di Tingkat Kepolisian
Authors: Wulandari Cahya
Published: July 2019

Penanggulangan perkara pidana yang terjadi di tengah masyarakat dapat diselesaikan dengan dua metode, yaitu penal dan non penal. Penyelesaian secara non penal salah satunya merupakan Mediasi Penal. Mediasi penal sendiri lahir dari budaya yang ada di dalam masyarakat sehingga kandungan nilai-nilainya sesuai dengan karakteristik Bangsa Indonesia. Namun penerapan mediasi penal ini belum memiliki landasan yuridis yang kuat sehingga perlu diteliti lebih lanjut apa model mediasi yang digunakan serta bagaimana peran aparat penegak hukum. Dalam artikel ini akan dipaparkan proses penyelesaian perkara pidana melalui mediasi penal di tingkat penyidikan dan peran aparat penegak hukum dalam proses mediasi penal. Data pendukung artikel ini menggunakan hasil penelitian dengan jenis kualitatif dan metode pendekatan yuridis sosiologis yang mendasarkan pada data primer dan data sekunder. Pada dasarnya, mediasi penal telah familiar dilaksanakan ditingkat kepolisian didasarkan pada Surat Kapolri No Pol: B/3022/XII/2009/SDEOPS tanggal 14 Desember 2009 tentang Penanganan Kasus Melalui Alternatif Dispute Resolution dengan bentuk mediasi penal yang digunakan adalah victim offender mediation. Model VOM ini dianggap paling layak untuk diterapkan karena mempertemukan antara kedua belah pihak sehingga mengakomodir kepentingan para pihak demi terwujudnya keadilan restoratif.

 

Overcoming criminal cases that occur in the middle of society can be solved by two methods, namely reasoning and non-punishment. Non-reasoning settlement is one of them is Penal Mediation. The reasoning mediation itself is born from the culture that exists in society so that the content of its values is in accordance with the characteristics of the Indonesian Nation. However, the application of this reasoning mediation does not yet have a strong juridical basis so it needs to be investigated further what the mediation model is used and how the role of law enforcement officers is. In this article will be presented the process of solving criminal cases through reasoning mediation at the level of investigation and the role of law enforcement officers in the process of judicial mediation. Supporting data for this article uses the results of research with qualitative types and sociological juridical approaches that base on primary data and secondary data. Basically, the reasoning mediation is familiar is carried out at the police level based on National Police Chief No Pol: B / 3022 / XII / 2009 / SDEOPS dated December 14, 2009 concerning Case Handling through Dispute Resolution Alternatives with the form of reasoning mediation that is victim offender mediation. This VOM model is considered the most feasible to implement because it brings together the two parties so that it accommodates the interests of the parties in order to realize restorative justice.

Authors: Mason Lauren MK , Duffell Erika , Veldhuijzen Irene K , Petriti Uarda , Bunge Eveline M , Tavoschi Lara
Published: July 2019

Background

People living with HIV (PLHIV) and people in prison are population groups with a potentially high risk and/or prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

Aim

We conducted a systematic review in order to find prevalence and incidence estimates in these populations in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA).

Methods

Original research articles published between January 2005 and February 2017 were retrieved from PubMed and Embase in February 2017.

Results

Fifty-two articles were included, providing 97 estimates of HBV/HCV infection prevalence or incidence. Estimates of HBV infection prevalence ranged between 2.9% and43.4% in PLHIV and 0.0% and 25.2% in people in prison. Estimates of HCV infection prevalence ranged from 2.9% to 43.4% in PLHIV and 0.0% to 25.2% in people in prison. Incidence estimates ranged between 0.0 and 2.5 cases per 100 person-years for HBV infection in PLHIV. No such data was available for people in prison. HCV infection incidence ranged between 0.3 and 0.9 cases per 100 person-years in PLHIV and between 1 and 1.2 cases per 100 person-years in people in prison. Prevalence estimates were generally higher than in the general population, especially for HCV infection and among groups with multiple risk factors.

Conclusions

PLHIV, people in prison and groups with multiple risk factors, have a high prevalence of HBV and HCV and may be at ongoing risk of infection. These groups should be among the populations prioritised and targeted for active case finding and prevention programmes in the EU/EEA.

Decomposing the Quantile Ratio Index with Applications to Australian Income and Wealth Data
Authors: Prendergast Luke Anthony , Staudte Robert G
Published: July 2019

The quantile ratio index is a simple and effective measure of relative inequality for income data that is resistant to outliers. A useful property of this index is investigated here: given a partition of the income distribution into a union of sets of symmetric quantiles, one can find the inequality for each set and readily combine them in a weighted average to obtain the index for the entire population. When applied to data for various years, one can track how these contributions to inequality vary over time, as illustrated here for Australian Bureau of Statistics income and wealth data.

Boundary Sentinel with Given Sensitivity in Population Dynamics Problem and Parameters Identification
Authors: Soma Mifiamba , Sawadogo Somdouda
Published: July 2019

The notion of sentinels with given sensitivity was introduced by J.L.Lions [11] in order to identify parameters in the problem of pollution ruled by a parabolic equation. He proves that the existence of such sentinels is reduced to the solution of exact controllability problem with constraints on the state. In population dynamics model, we reconsider this notion of sentinels in a more general framework. We prove the existence of the boundary sentinels by solving a boundarynull-controllability problem with constraint on the control. Our results use Carleman inequality which is adapted to the constraint.

The criterion-base iterative stepwise Backward Elimination (BE) method was used to predict Au according to the main variables (Ag, Cu, Pb, and Zn). The optimization process of the quadratic polynomial model are carried out on different trenches. Whereas, Pb and Zn with Ag×Zn and Pb×Zn are significant to determine the lateral dispersion of Au. It means Zn is the predominant element in near surface zone. Therefore, it point out that the polymetallic (Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn) high-sulfidation hydrothermal veins may be related to a porphyry deposit at depth. Laterally, 2D surface contour maps using kriging confirms all the results of the dispersion pattern of elements at Glojeh.

Published: July 2019

In this study, the usage wastewater from secondary treatment in feeding fishes of Carassius gibelio species and suitability of the fishes for human food were evaluated. The metals (Ag, Al, As and B) in treated effluent and skeleton, skin, eyes and brain tissues of fishes were examined seasonally. It was found that treated effluent was not suitable for irrigation and aquaculture in terms of Al according to the Turkish standard values. According to annual averages the size order of Ag and B concentrations were skeleton> skin> eyes>brain and skeleton> skin>brain>eye respectively. Also, skin>brain>eyes>skeleton was for As and Al. TF (Transfer Factor) values of all metals examined were determined as >1 in the four tissues and the metals caused bioaccumulation because of treated effluent. Concentrations in muscles were found 7 to 6227 times higher than in water. The size order of TF and BCF (Bio-concentration Factor) values in skin and eye tissue were the same and it was Ag>Al>As>B. It was Ag>Al>As>B in skeleton, Al>As>Ag>B in brain. HQ (Hazard Quotient) of Al in all tissues had carcinogenic risk level.

Dervishes Ceremonies in Constantinople Described by Western Travellers and Painters between Sixteenth and Eighteenth Century
Authors: De Zorzi Giovanni
Published: July 2019

Between the sixteenth century and the eighteenth century many Europeans visited Constantinople, the new Ottoman capital, and wrote reports that took various aspects of its cultural and musical life into consideration. Among the recurring elements of such reports, we note the description of Dervishes and their ceremonies, often accompanied by engravings and very rarely by musical transcriptions. Through time, such a description became a topic (and a stereotype) both in literature and in fine arts. My article retraces and comments descriptions of Dervish ceremonies, in a chronological order, by Western travellers and scholars between sixteenth and eighteenth century, between the so-called Age of Exploration and Modernity.
Algeria and the Washington Consensus: Debtor-Creditor Relation Re-Examined
Authors: Leopardi Francesco Saverio
Published: July 2019

Algeria’s experience with liberal economic reforms occurred while the country faced its worst crisis due to the civil conflict between the army and Islamist insurgents. The study of Algeria’s debt relief process, from loan negotiation to the implementation of adjustment packages, is key to understand how the aid received enabled the Algerian authorities to survive the crisis and renew their patronage networks. Focusing on Algerian relation with International Financial Institutions, this paper provides a political analysis of this process. As a result, the creditors’ favour for stabilisation and their political priorities emerge as factors that increased the leverages of the Algerian authorities.

A Little-Known Dah-nāma: ʿAishī’s ʿIshrat-nāma
Authors: Beelaert Anna Livia
Published: July 2019

The present article offers an edition of the single known manuscript of ʿAishī Shīrāzī’s ʿIshrat-nāma in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, Suppl. Persan 1142 (nr. 1642 in the catalogue of Blochet), a poem belonging to the mathnawī genre dah-nāma. In this genre, the evolution of the relationship of two lovers up to their union is described through their exchange of ten letters or, as is also the case here, ten verbal messages. It is argued that it was written between 874/1470 and 882/1478, namely, at the time of Aq-Quyūnlū Khalīl b. Uzun Ḥasan, during his governorship of Fārs, some seventy years later than Blochet’s estimate. This is the first of two articles about this poem. The second article, in which the messengers – ten different musical instruments who convey the messages between the lovers – shall be discussed, will be published in the next issue.

Alcune riflessioni sulla traduzione dell’Agiavilāpa dell’indologo Giuseppe Turrini (1826-1899)
Authors: Crafa Alberico
Published: July 2019

Ernesto De Martino’s theorization and the considerations on the ‘crisis of presence’ represent a milestone in the field of Religious Studies. The crisis reveals itself in the daily events of the human being, such as death. Starting from the methodological frames provided by de Martino’s studies on the lament in ancient world, and the recent attention dedicated to the bodies, this article will analyse one of the most famous episode of kāvya literature as translated by nineteenth-century Italian Indologist Giuseppe Turrini: King Aja’s lament (vilāpa) upon his wife Indumatī, and particularly the stanza of Raghuvaṃa 8.43. The Italian translation reveals some element related to the Western opposition between body and soul, which challenge the original attention paid by Kālidāsa and the ancient Greek literature to the physiological effects produced by suffering.
The Kwanyin Clan: Modern Literati Graffiti Writers
An Aesthetic and Text Analysis of their Main Artworks
Authors: Iezzi Adriana
Published: July 2019

After illustrating the varied artistic production of the Kwanyin Clan, one of the most important Chinese graffiti crews, this paper analyses six of their main artworks in detail (styles, techniques, aesthetic conceptions and artworks texts). In these artworks, the Kwanyin Clan tried for the first time to merge Euro-American graffiti practice with the ancient traditional arts practiced and appreciated by the Chinese literati (calligraphy, poetry, painting, seals and ceramics). Comparing the Kwanyin Clan members to ‘modern literati writers’, the present article shows how this crew succeeded in reinventing ancient Chinese art forms using Euro-American graffiti vocabulary, paving the way for a new development of graffiti art in China.
A Journey into the City
Migrant Workers’ Relation with the Urban Space and Struggle for Existence in Xu Zechen’s Early jingpiao Fiction
Authors: Picerni Federico
Published: July 2019

In contemporary China, rural-urban migrants constitute a new urban subject with entirely new identity-related issues. This study aims at demonstrating how literature can be a valid field in investigating such evolving subjectivities, through an analysis of Xu Zechen’s early novellas depicting migrants’ vicissitudes in Beijing. Combining a close reading of the texts and a review of the main social problems characterising rural-urban migration in China, this paper focuses on the representation of the identity crisis within the migrant self in Xu’s stories, taking into account the network of meanings employed by the writer to signify the objective and subjective tension between the city and the countryside.

Pica was among the first critics to show a relevant interest in Japanese culture, under the influence of French criticism and especially of the Goncourt brothers. Thanks to primary unpublished sources and a new approach to his writings of literary tradition, this paper intends to recast the trans-medial and inter-medial fortune of Japonisme in Italy, too, and its legacy between the on-going artistic production and contemporary collecting taste, with a special concern for modern painting, decoration and industrial arts.
Beyond the Screen
Terayama. Spectatorship. Intermediality
Authors: De Angelis Eugenio
Published: July 2019

Intermedial practices are a common trademark of the Japanese art world in the sixties and seventies. This article focuses on a case study of such practices, namely the relationship between artwork and audience in Terayama Shūji’s cinema. Moving from the author’s theatrical theories on spectatorship (kankyakuron), the paper applies those theories to Terayama’s experimental movies, analysing how they are adapted to the cinematic medium. This study conceives a three-phased system, where the spectator is progressively brought towards the screen and his role changes from passive viewer to active agent. The study adopts an approach based on performance studies and avant-garde film theory to reveal how Terayama moulds the movie-going practice into a performative and collective event, using the movie theatre as a theatrical stage.

Venetia Carpenter pernah membuat pernyataan sepertiini: “ada krisis di dalam gereja hari ini. Tubuh Kristus sedangmengalami krisis gembala yang bersedia melayani Gembalayang Baik dengan mencintai domba-dombaNya.” Di sisi lain,seperti C. S. Forester, banyak orang coba-coba untukmengupayakan menjadi gembala yang baik? Selain selalu adaupaya mencari-cari cara bagaimana gembala yang baik?3 Sayamelihat, pernyataan dan pertanyaan ini sedikitnyamenunjukkan banyak keingintahuan diantara kita tentang apa“kriteria” gembala ideal. Namun, itu sekaligus sebagai indikasipenting bahwa ternyata banyak orang mengidam-idamkanhadirnya seorang gembala yang baik, jujur dan benar puladalam gereja, termasuk dalam kehidupan pribadi, keluarga,hidup sehari-hari dan bahkan rindu untuk digembalakanmenyangkut kepentingan dan urusan bisnis sekalipun.
François Laruelle - A Biography of Ordinary Man: On Authorities and Minorities
Authors: Erkan Ekin
Published: July 2019

Drawing on "The Minority Principle" (1981) and "Struggle and Utopia: At the End Times of Philosophy" (2012), François Laruelle further cultivates his project on generic ethics and axiomatic principles with his latest text, A Biography of an "Ordinary Man: On Authorities and Minorities" (2018). From the very beginning of the book, Laruelle stakes a “revolt against philosophers” and, in particular, against philosophy’s historical hostage of the “ethical Other” – staking a cause against philosophy’s “warp and weft of games of power,” which all too often reduce marginalized individuals and collectives to terms of “difference.”
Partners in Ministry & Mission: Women Religious and Associates
Authors: Murphy Ryan P.
Published: July 2019

Women’s religious communities—like other communities of religious—began exploring the possibility of embracing lay women and men as associate members in the 1970s and 1980s. Associate member groups offered congregations a new way to extend the reach of their respective missions and charisms, while deepening the relationships with lay women and men who partnered with them in ministry.In this paper, I explore the relatively recent history of associate groups and how these organizations have and continue to work with their sponsoring congregations. I use data from the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA)—commissioned recently by the North American Conference of Associates and Religious (NACAR)—to look at demographic trends among women religious and associates. I describe how religious communities incorporate associates into their organizational decision-making, and how certain internal processes—like general chapters—are now open to associate members.Overall, I submit that given the declining numbers of sisters and aging populations of many religious communities, associate groups have the potential to provide opportunities to conceptualize new forms of religious life in the Catholic Church. Finally, I argue that associate groups also have the important role of increasing gender, racial, and class diversity among communities of women religious, and that this diversity may lead to a more inclusive and democratizing corporate structure for women’s religious congregations in the 21st century.

Bangladesh depends on the ground water resources to meet domestic and agricultural demands. Electrical Resistivity Sounding survey, borehole litho logs and the water quality data of the area have been analysed for the assessment of subsurface hydro geological condition of the study area, located in north eastern region of Bangladesh. Hydro geological data are needed to determine the basic parameters required for the characterization of aquifer. VES can provide subsurface information related to groundwater condition in conjunction with borehole and water quality information. Resistivity soundings were carried out to establish the characteristics of the aquifer in the study area. Results of resistivity soundings and borehole data reveal that the subsurface formations are made up of clay, silty clay, clayey sand, fine, medium and coarse sands. The hydro stratigraphic unit of the study area comprises of three aquifer systems separated by aquitards. Aquifer-1 known as shallow aquifer, shows thickness in the range from 4 m to 104 m. Maximum thickness of Aquifer-1 is about 104 m at At para, Kishoreganj and minimum thickness is about 4 m at Madan, Netrokona. Aquifer-2 shows thickness variation from 3 m to 135 m. Maximum thickness of Aquifer-2 is about 135 m at Madhabpur, Habiganj and minimum thickness is about 3 m at Bajitpur, Kishoreganj. Baseof Aquifer-3, the deep aquifer could not be identified. Maximum depth of the upper boundary of this unit is about 171 m at Madhabpur,Habiganj and minimum depth is about 100 m at Mohanganj, Netrokona. At Madan, Netrokona low resistivity value of about 7 ohm below 107 m depth is found against a fine to medium sand layer suggesting saline formation water.

Spinel in peridotite of the Pipariya area in Madawara Mafic and Ultramafic Complex (MMUMC) occur as euhedral to subhedral inclusion within the silicates. They exhibit regular to irregular shape and is altered to ferritchromite to magnetite along the cracks and boundaries. Cr-spinel is characterised by high values of Cr# (79.7-98.4) and low Mg# and Al# values (i.e., 20.41-9.66 and 0.49- 17.71, respectively) and are identified as Fe-chromite. Chemical discontinuity/zones between the core and rim can be observed in the analysed grain. The textural and chemical features of investigated suggest low- to sub greenschist facies metamorphism consistent with the estimated metamorphic equilibrium temperature of 500°C-550°C.

Mineral chemistry of these spinel suggests that spinel in peridotite of Pipariya in the Madawara Mafic and Ultramafic Complex depicts that these Cr-spinel may have been derived from boninitic related magmas at arc to suprasubduction zone tectonic setting at low degree of partial melting.

Published: July 2019

Huge amounts of construction materials are required to fulfill construction works, which are being undertaken by local and Government levels. In this regard, searching for good quality construction materials is a tough job. The Budhi Gandaki-Narayani River is rich in carrying natural fine aggregates from the Higher and the Lesser Himalayas, which are extensively exposed along its bank. Currently ongoing and future hydro power projects, will require a tremendous amount of fine aggregates. In light of this, the present study was made to evaluate fine aggregates of the Budhi Gandaki-Narayani River. The gradation curves of fine aggregates from this river varied from well graded to uniform graded. Compositional analysis shows that quartz is dominant over other minerals. Rock fragments are composed of gneiss, schist, quartzite, metasandstone, phyllite, shale, granite, etc. Deleterious materials excluding organic matter range from 0.3 % to 1.5 % and organic matter present in range from 0.57 % to 1.11 %. The trend of presence of inorganic deleterious material and organic matter is increasing towards southern segments of the river, but they remain below 2%. Mean roundness of particles ranges from 1.88 to 2.54. Bulk dry density of fine aggregate is below 2 gm/cm³. Similarly, the specific gravity ranges between 1.49 and 1.79. Fineness modulus ranges between 1.36 and 3.50 showing that, coarse, medium, fine and very fine sediments are distributed along the stretch of river. Water absorption value of fine aggregate ranges from 0.48 % to 2.87 %. When using fine aggregates from southern segments of the Budhi Gandaki-Narayani River, reduction of mica and beneficiation process will enhance and provide better result for smooth plastering, rendering and screeding.
An approach of preparing earthquake induced landslide hazard map: a case study of Nuwakot District, central Nepal
Authors: Dangi Harish , Bhattarai Tara Nidhi , Thapa Prem Bahadur
Published: July 2019

The Gorkha Earthquake-2015 triggered landslides which are widespread in central Nepal. The landslides swept away physical infrastructures like roads, schools, public and residential buildings, and cultivated lands at several locations. This indicated that the decision makers were not aware of the fact that the locations for possible earthquake-induced landslides can be predicted, and physical infrastructure development can be planned accordingly. What is needed for the purpose is an earthquake-induced landslide hazard map which is a useful tool in decision making, particularly for finding safer geographical locations for residential and public building construction, and also for other physical infrastructure development. Immediately after the Gorkha Earthquake-2015, JICA prepared an earthquake-induced landslide hazard map of the Gorkha and the Sindhupalchowak Districts using a certain methodology. But there remains a research question regarding whether the same methodology can be applied in preparing earthquake-induced landslide hazard maps of other earthquake-affected districts located away from the epicenter area. The main purpose of this research was to apply the JICA methodology to prepare an earthquake-induced landslide hazard map of the Nuwakot District, central Nepal which is the one if the most affected district by Gorkha earthquake 2015. The second purpose was to examine whether the map captured the ground reality or not. While preparing the input data required, four major disaster factors were taken into consideration which includes, among others, slope inclination, slope direction, relationship with the major thrust and distance from the epicenter. These factors were classified and characterized according to their nature and condition. The result was then analyzed by using quantification theory. An earthquake-induced landslide hazard map was then prepared using QGIS as a major software tool. The map was also verified through ground-truthing visiting several locations of the study site. The proposed methodology can be used to prepare similar maps in other affected districts of Gorkha earthquake 2015, and suitable sites for constructing physical infrastructures like roads, residential and public buildings can also be identified using the maps.

Published: July 2019

The problem of teaching English to third-age students is among the issues in ELT which have gained increasing attention and interest in recent years. The aim of this paper is to identify difficulties in learning English as a foreign language reported by students taking part in language courses at third-age universities in Poland. The research is based on the questionnaire distributed among the group of 70 third-age students of English. The results show that the problems the learners report are cantered around their age- and health- related conditions, as well as their general attitudes concerning foreign language learning. It is hoped that the present study will constitute a minor contribution to the study of learning needs and expectations of senior students in Poland.
