REFLECTION OF SUFI POCUT DI BEUTONG IN ACEH’S MANUSCRIPT
Authors: Abdullah Munawiah , Husna Nurul , Akbar Arif , Zaenab Cut
Published: November 2023

Abstrak: Tulisan ini bermaksud untuk mendeskripsikan sosok perempuan sufi di Aceh yang dikenal dengan sebutan Pocut di Butong yang terdapat dalam naskah tersebut. Sejarah panjang tasawuf di Aceh memberikan peranan yang sangat penting bagi masyarakat Aceh. Aceh yang juga dikenal dengan nama Serambi Mekkah, pada saat itu diterapkan syariat Islam. Keberadaan para sufi atau pembawa tasawuf begitu esensialnya agar ajaran tersebut terus berkembang. Sufi di Aceh terkenal di kalangan laki-laki karena sikap mereka yang tidak peduli terhadap perempuan. Di kalangan sufi perempuan, keberadaannya sangat minim dan tidak tertulis dalam sejarah apapun. Yang paling sering disebutkan adalah Rabiah al-Adawiyah, namun sufi perempuan masih perlu lebih banyak dipublikasikan, dan lain halnya jika tokohnya laki-laki. Penelitian ini merupakan tinjauan naskah ‘Munajat Perempuan Sufi Aceh Pocut di Beutong’ mengenai eksistensi dan peran seorang sufi perempuan berinisial Pocut di Beutong. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa puisi-puisi dalam buku ‘Munajat Wanita Sufi Aceh’ menjelaskan bahwa keberadaan dan peranan Pocut di Beutong sangat berarti pada masa itu. Hal ini terlihat dari sejarah yang diceritakan dalam buku tersebut mengenai bagaimana Pocut di Beutong turut membantu mempertahankan tanah Aceh dengan berbagai cara, seperti berdoa, mengajar, mengembangkan amalan, dan berupaya mendekatkan diri kepada Allah. Hal ini sama pentingnya dengan Cut Nyak Dien dan pahlawan wanita lainnya yang akan berperang.Kata Kunci: Naskah; Wanita Sufi; Aceh.Abstract: This paper intends to describe the Sufis woman in Aceh, known as Pocut di Butong contained in the manuscript. The long history of Sufism in Aceh provides a crucial role for the people of Acehnese. Aceh, also known as Serambi Mecca, at that time of Islamic law was implemented. The existence of Sufi or carriers of Sufism is so essential that these teachings continue to develop. Sufi in Aceh have been popular with men for their disregard for women. Among female Sufis, their existence is minimal and not written in any history. The most often mentioned is Rabiah al-Adawiyah, but more female Sufis still need to be published, and it is different if the character is male. This study is a manuscript review of ‘Munajat Perempuan Sufi Aceh Pocut di Beutong’ regarding the existence and role of a female Sufis with the initial Pocut di Beutong. The study results show that the poems in the book ‘Munajat Wanita Sufi Aceh’ explain that the existence and role of Pocut di Beutong was very significant at that time. This can be seen from the history recounted in the book regarding how Pocut di Beutong also helped defend the land of Aceh in different ways, such as praying, teaching, developing practice, and attempting to get closer to Allah. This is just as important as Cut Nyak Dien and other female heroes going to war.Keywords: Manuscript; Sufis Woman; Aceh.

Published: November 2023

Desde la antigüedad, la agricultura ha sido una actividad vital para la humanidad, y a medida que la tecnología ha avanzado, ha brindado nuevas oportunidades para mejorar la productividad y la eficiencia en este campo. Según Pardey y Beintema (2001), la tecnología es un factor fundamental para el incremento de la productividad y la sostenibilidad en la producción agrícola. De hecho, la combinación de la tecnología con la agronomía es esencial para abordar los desafíos actuales de la producción agrícola. Por su parte, Altieri (2009) destaca que la agricultura sostenible se basa en una combinación de técnicas agronómicas y tecnologías apropiadas que promueven la diversidad de cultivos y la protección del medio ambiente. Además, como señala García-Cascales (2018), la sinergia entre la tecnología y la agronomía es esencial para hacer frente a los desafíos actuales de la producción agrícola, como el cambio climático y la necesidad de mejorar la Inocuidad y seguridad alimentaria En este sentido, el presente artículo tiene como meta explorar la sinergia entre la tecnología y la agronomía en la producción agrícola moderna, En palabras de Houben (2019), "la tecnología es un instrumento para el agrónomo y ambos trabajan juntos para lograr una producción agrícola sostenible y eficiente".

FDC prediction and inference: insights from the fusion of machine learning methods and multi-source factors
Authors: Zhou Yu , Zhang Yu-Jia , Wan Wuyi
Published: November 2023

This paper aims to solve the problem of accurately estimating flow
duration curves (FDC) in catchments lacking diachronic flow data. Based
on 645 sets of observed data in the middle and lower reaches of the
Yangtze River (YZR), which include 22 basin characteristic variables,
eight machine learning (ML) models (SVM, RF, BPNN, ELM, XGB, RBF,
PSO-BP, GWO-BP) were integrated to predict the FDC (quantiles of flow
rate corresponding to 15 exceedance probabilities were studied), after
which the model most suitable for predicting was determined. Finally,
the SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) method was used to quantify the
impact of various input variables on different quantiles and the degree
of that influence. Results indicate that: (1) The GWO-BP model is the
best ML model for predicting FDC among the eight, having good prediction
performances throughout the entire duration with determination
coefficients ( R) on the testing set of 0.86
to 0.94 and Nash-Sutcliff criterion ( NSE) of 0.78 to 0.94. (2)
The ML model (BPNN) optimized using swarm intelligence can effectively
predict FDC. (3) The predictive impact of variables on different
quantiles varies, with and BFI_mean contributes significantly to
predicting FDC. The former has a negative effect on the prediction
result and has better contribution to predicting higher flow rate (i.e.,
having higher accuracy in predicting the upper tail of FDC), whereas the
latter is the opposite. The results demonstrate that the method proposed
in this paper can greatly improve the prediction accuracy.
Model calibration using hydropedological insights to improve internal hydrological processes within SWAT+

Published: November 2023

Soils affect the distribution of hydrological processes by partitioning
precipitation into different components of the water balance. Therefore,
understanding soil-water dynamics at a catchment scale remains
imperative to future water resource management. In this study the value
of hydropedological insights to calibrate a processes based model. Soil
morphology was used as soft data to assist in the calibration of the
SWAT+ model at five different catchment sizes (48 km
, 56 km , 174 km
, 674 km and 2421 km
) in the Sabie River catchment, South Africa. The aim
of this study was to calibrate the SWAT+ model to accurately simulate
long-term monthly streamflow predictions as well as to reflect internal
soil hydrological processes using a procedure focusing on hydropedology
as a calibration tool in a multigauge system. Results indicated that
calibration improved streamflow predictions where R
and Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) improved substantially, R
improved by 2 to 8% and NSE from negative
correlations to values exceeding 0.5 at four of the five catchment
scales compared to the uncalibrated model. Results confirm that soil
mapping units can be calibrated individually within SWAT+ to improve the
representation of hydrological processes. Particularly, the spatial
linkage between hydropedology and hydrological processes, which is
captured within the soil map of the catchment, can be adequately
reflected within the model structure after calibration. This research
should lead to an improved understanding of hydropedology as soft data
to improve hydrological modelling accuracy.

Published: November 2023

Introduction/Objective. Physical therapy aims to improve airway clearance, breathing, and enhance gas exchange. It is widely used as an additional therapy in children with pneumonia. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of complications and comorbidities on physical therapy duration in children with pneumonia. Methods. We conducted a retrospective descriptive study including 40 children with pneumonia admitted to a tertiary children?s hospital. Study participants were divided into two groups ? a group with and without complications and a group with and without comorbidities. All children received physical therapy one time daily five days a week plus standard treatment for pneumonia. Physical therapy procedures that were applied were chest physical therapy and kinesiotherapy. Results. Chest physical therapy (p < 0.001) and kinesiotherapy (p = 0.024) were applied significantly longer in the group with complications versus those without complications. Chest physical therapy was applied significantly longer in the group with comorbidities versus the group without comorbidities (p < 0.001), while there was no difference regarding duration of kinesiotherapy in the group with and without comorbidities (p = 0.239). Conclusion. Our results show that the presence of complications and/or comorbidities significantly prolongs the duration of chest physical therapy in children with pneumonia.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. Mandibular kinetics is composed of a series of complex
movements regarding opening and closing and latero-lateral movements. The
procedure for registration of this trajectory is condylography. This
procedure represents a diagnostic method for monitoring and registering the
movements of the mandibular condyles. The analysis starts from the most
distal position of the condyle to the maximum propulsive point and
latero-lateral maximum extensions. The aim of this examination is to compare
the trajectory of movement of the mandibular condyle in patients with
symptoms of TMD, in the acute phase and the trajectory after the treatment
and corrections of intermaxillary relations. Materials and methods. The
examination was carried out in 20 (10 men and 10 women) patients of PHO
Denta Estetika Team Skopje. The patients were complaining about pain,
limitation of movements and crepitations in the temporomandibular joint as
well as difficult mastication. Condylographic measurements were made with
the Kavo Arcus Digma digital condylograph. The registration of the movements
was done in two sessions, before and after the treatment. Results. There was
no statistically significant difference in temporomandibular condyle
movement angles before and after the treatment in patients with TMD. There
was a statistically significant difference in the value of Bennett?s angle.
Easier and more accurate movements of mandible were noticed in the patients
after the treatment.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. In addition to the advantages of glass ionomer cements that
have led to their wide application, hybrid glass ionomer cements have been
developed to overcome the shortcomings in mechanical resistance. The aim of
the study was to perform an ultrastructural analysis of restorations made
from conventional and hybrid glass ionomer cements after recommended
finishing procedures and application of a protective coating. Materials and
Methods. This study analyzed 30 samples of conventional glass ionomer cement
Fuji IX? and 30 samples of hybrid glass ionomer cement EQUIA Forte HT Fil?.
The samples were prepared in cylindrical molds and divided into the three
groups. The first group of samples, after adaptation, was left untreated and
served as a control group. The second group consisted of samples that were
finished with a cylindrical diamond bur with water cooling. The samples in
the third group were finished and protected with appropriate coatings
(G-COAT PLUS? and EQUIA Forte Coat?). The samples were analyzed using
scanning electron microscopy. Results. The finishing procedures of Fuji IX?
samples significantly reduced crack width (t = 3.42, p < 0.005; Z = 3.25, p
= 0.001). Similarly, the crack width in EQUIA Forte HT Fil? samples was also
significantly smaller in treated samples (t = 4.78, p < 0.001; Z = 4.28, p <
0.001). Ultrastructural analysis of both materials showed the complete
absence of cracks in finished samples protected by coatings. Conclusion.
Finishing of conventional and hybrid glass ionomer cements results in a
reduction in the number of cracks as well as a decrease in their widths, and
the protective coatings completely cover remaining cracks.
Increased Frequency of the HLA-DRB1*04:04-DQA1*03-DQB1*03:02 Haplotype among HLA-DQB1*06:02 Positive Children with Type 1 Diabetes

Published: November 2023

HLA DR-DQ haplotypes largely define genetic susceptibility to type 1 diabetes (T1D). The DQB1*06:02 positive haplotype (DR15-DQ602) common in subjects of European ancestry is very rare among children with T1D. Among 4490 children with T1D in the Finnish Pediatric Diabetes Register 57 (1.3%) cases with DQB1*06:02 were identified in comparison to 26.1% of affected family-based association controls. There was no difference between DQB1*06:02 positive and negative children with T1D regarding sex, age, islet autoantibody distribution or autoantibody levels, but significant differences were seen in the frequency of the second class II HLA haplotypes. The most prevalent haplotype present with DQB1*06:02 was DRB1*04:04-DQA1*03-DQB1*03:02 which was found in 27 of 57 (47.4%) children compared to only 797/4433 (18.0%) among DQB1*06:02 negative cases (P<0.001, Chi-square test). The other common risk associated haplotypes, the DRB1*04:01-DQA1*03-DQB1*03:02 and (DR3)-DQA1*05-DQB1*02 were less prevalent in DQB1*06:02 positive than DQB1*06:02 negative children (P<0.001). HLA-B allele frequencies did not differ between DQB1*06:02 haplotypes in children with T1D and controls and neither in DRB1*04:04-DQA1*03-DQB1*03:02 haplotypes of DQB1*06:02 positive and negative T1D children. The increased frequency of DRB1*04:04 allele among DQB1*06:02 positive cases may indicate preferential ability of the DR404 molecule to present islet antigen epitopes despite of the competition by DQ602. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS · The common HLA-DQB1*06:02 allele is strongly protective against type 1 diabetes although few DQB1*06:02 positive cases have been found. · We compared the distribution of the second class II haplotypes in DQB1*06:02 positive children with type 1 diabetes to haplotypes found in in other children with type 1 diabetes. · HLA-DRB1*04:04-DQA1*03-DQB1*03:02 was the most common second haplotype in DQB1*06:02 positive diabetic children whereas DRB1*04:01-DQA1*03-DQB1*03:02 was most frequent in other children with type 1 diabetes. · The finding suggests that binding of islet specific epitopes presented by DRB1*04:04 can more efficiently avoid binding to DQB1*06:02 than epitopes presented by other risk associated haplotypes.

ABSTRACT Habitual physical activity (PA) impacts the plasma proteome and reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). Using a large-scale proteome-wide approach in Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study participants, we aimed to identify plasma proteins associated with PA and determine which of these may be causally related to lower T2D risk. PA was associated with 92 plasma proteins in discovery (p<1.01x10-5), and 40 remained significant in replication (p<5.43x10-4). Eighteen of these proteins were independently associated with incident T2D (p<1.25x10-3) including neuronal growth regulator 1 (NeGR1) (HR per SD: 0.85; p-value=7.5x10-11). Two-sample Mendelian randomization inverse variance weighted analysis indicated that higher NeGR1 reduces T2D risk (OR per SD: 0.92; p=0.03) and was consistent with MR-Egger, weighted median, and weighted mode sensitivity analyses. A stronger association was observed for the single cis-acting NeGR1 genetic variant (OR per SD: 0.80; p=6.3x10-5). Coupled with previous evidence that low circulating NeGR1 levels promote adiposity, its association with PA and potential causal role in T2D shown here suggest that NeGR1 may link PA exposure with metabolic outcomes. Further research is warranted to confirm our findings and examine the interplay of PA, NeGR1, adiposity, and metabolic health. Article Highlights Physical activity alters tissue and plasma proteomes, which have been shown to have roles in type 2 diabetes development We aimed to identify protein signatures through which physical activity may influence type 2 diabetes pathogenesis Forty proteins associated with physical activity, and 18 of these were further related to incident type 2 diabetes over an approximate 24-year follow-up Two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis indicated that circulating neuronal growth regulator 1 reduces risk of type 2 diabetes · These findings suggest that plasma neuronal growth regulator 1 may link physical activity to reduced risk of type 2 diabetes

A study was undertaken during the 2017–18 to 2018–19 cropping seasons at at eleven locations and/or seventeen environments in optimum moisture areas of Ethiopian to identify stable genotypes with high grain yield and release as a variety for optimum-moisture environments. Alpha-lattice design with three replications was used. The combined ANOVA revealed very highly significant differences (p≤0.001) among genotypes, environments, and GEI for yield and its components. The environment sum of squares contributed more than the genotype and GEI sum of squares for the total variance of all traits. When we consider the overall mean for grain yield, genotype ETBW8751 (5.12 t ha-1) the highest value followed by ETBW9554 (5.10 t ha-1) whereas the lowest grain yield was obtained from the genotype ETBW8804 (3.67 t ha-1). GGE and AMMI analysis explained almost similar amounts of variation; however, AMMI still show a slightly greater proportion than GGE during our study. According to AMMI and GGE analysis genotype 21 (ETBW9553) was more stable as well as high yielding followed by 22 (ETBW9554) and 2 (ETBW8751. Conversely, 15 (ETBW9547) was unstable, but high yielding. Hidasse had low yields but was unstable. ETBW9554 was validated on farmers’ fields and recommended for registration as a commercial variety  and finally released in 2020 with its designated local name “Boru” for commercial production for mid to highland agro-ecologies in Ethiopia.

Published: November 2023

The study was conducted during November, 2021 at Department of FMPE, CAET, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India to investigate the torque requirement and ascertain optimum peripheral cutting velocity of rotary cutting disc based on varying stem diameter and moisture content of green gram . The cutting operation was simulated to find the cutting torque in the instrumented soil bin, which comprises of test trolley, processing trolley and vertical rotor assembly with vertical shaft having serrated cutting disc. Sample plant stems of green gram were firmly fixed in the plant stem holder, and buried beneath the soil to simulate the natural standing of the crop as in the actual field condition. The cutting torque required to cut the stem of green gram at different crop moisture content (39.2, 41.4 and 42.9% (wb)), peripheral cutting velocity (20, 25, 30, and 35 ms-1) and plant stem diameter (2.95, 3.97 and 4.96 mm) was measured. It has been observed that peripheral cutting velocity of disc, stem diameter and moisture content of plant affected cutting torque at 1% level of significance. The cutting torque increased with decrease in moisture content and increase in diameter of plant stem of green gram. The cutting torque increased with an increase in peripheral cutting velocity up to the critical velocity of 30 ms-1, but the value decreased after critical peripheral velocity.
The Capital-Labor Problem in Academic Knowledge Production
Authors: Demeter Marton , Háló Gergö , Rajkó Andrea
Published: November 2023

This theoretical essay critically examines the intricate relationship between academic knowledge production, academic capital accumulation, and the pervasive influence of neo-liberalization within the contemporary knowledge-based society and economy. After introducing the concepts of academic capital and academic labor, the paper identifies a concerning emphasis on academic capital in the world system of academic knowledge production, where qualifications from prestigious institutions disproportionately influence career opportunities, mobility, and research funds. The essay argues that while there is ongoing criticism regarding the neo-liberalization of academia, a related phenomenon, namely the prestige economy, remains oftentimes uncovered. The paper ultimately highlights the adverse consequences of a capital-centric academic environment, urging for a more balanced approach that prioritizes knowledge diversity, internationalization, and localized research initiatives, countering the homogenizing forces of the prestige economy within global higher education, and puts more emphasis on the production of labor than on academic capital.

Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate effect of solvent type on solidification rate of ethyl cellulose(EC) microparticles and particle size/distribution of emulsion droplets/hardened microparticlesduring solvent evaporation process using focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM). ECmicroparticles were prepared by an O/W-solvent evaporation method using various solvents, includingdichloromethane, dichloromethane:methanol (1:1), ethyl acetate and chloroform. The particle size/distribution of emulsion droplets/hardened microparticles was monitored by FBRM. The morphologyof EC microparticles was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The transformationof emulsion droplets into solid microparticles for all solvents occured within the first 10-60 min. Thesquare weighted mean chord length of EC microparticles which were prepared using chloroform wassmallest, but the chord counts was no the highest. The chord length distribution (CLD) measured byFBRM showed that a larger particle size mean gave longer CLD and a lower peak of particle number.SEM data revealed that the morphology of microparticles was influenced by type of solvent. FBRMcan be employed for online monitoring of the shift in the microparticle CLD and detect transformationof emulsion droplets into solid microparticles during solvent evaporation process. The microparticleCLD and transformation process was strongly influenced by solvent type.Keywords: chord length distribution, ethyl cellulose, FBRM, microparticle, solvent.
BUNG KARNO'S SPEECH, UNESCO AND INDONESIAN DIPLOMACY
Authors: Djumala Darmansjah , Djuyandi Yusa
Published: November 2023

The contextuality of world civilization today presents a portrait of relations between countries that are less harmonious. The Covid-19 pandemic, which should have been a momentum for the unity of countries in the world, has actually sparked sharp conflict between the United States and China. On the other hand, the Russian and Ukrainian war opened our understanding that there was a wrong global construction that fueled Russia's "coercive and unilateral" behavior towards its own neighboring countries. Globalization has made problems in a country or region develop into global issues. It is at this point that Indonesia can make its contribution. With the designation of Bung Karno's speech entitled "To Build the World A New" as Memory of the World, it became easier for the international public to access the text archive of the speech as a reference for developing studies related to UNESCO's field of work. Archives are only archives if they are only stored in bookshelves and documents. The aim of this research is to answer the research question: How to "animate" Indonesian historical archives so that they benefit the world? and How to capitalize on these historical documents for the interests of Indonesian diplomacy? This study uses a qualitative method. The analysis was carried out by interpreting the data based on the literature study. Data were collected from previous reference journals, books, and news from internet sources. This study concludes, Pancasila can become an international reference. This is because the text of the speech is open for use by researchers, academics and international practitioners in studying Pancasila as a philosophical and political discipline, whose values are very relevant for mediating socio-cultural conflicts.

Specifically, this study uses the MLPNN model to conduct learning assessments to identify schools that may suffer from poor management. The empirical findings are briefly summarised as follows: (1) The research shows that more than half of the private schools in this study will face bankruptcy. In Taipei City, out of the 23 existing private schools, only four operate normally, while the remaining 19 private vocational high schools require assistance. About 12 schools face severe problems in terms of poor management, accounting for 63% of the total, while seven schools had a prediction value below 50, indicating a severe problem. These schools have expressed an immediate need for government assistance. (2) According to the MLPNN model in this study, reducing the number of full-time teachers is a primary factor contributing to school closures. First, since full-time teachers are a fixed cost, the dismissal of teachers tends to be prioritised to bring down school management costs. This, in turn, reduces the teacher-student ratio. Other factors that contribute to school bankruptcy are dismissing staff and part-time teachers, reducing expenditure, and poor operational maintenance. When the above policies are implemented in schools with poor management, a vicious cycle is created, leading to the bankruptcy of schools.

This study seeks to investigate the role of gold as a hedge or safe haven against African stock movements during the COVID-19 pandemic by using a two-state Markov Regime-Switching approach. The findings suggest that gold serves as a weak hedge in Malawi, Morocco, Nigeria, Tunisia, and Zambia, a weak safe haven in Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, and a strong safe haven in Botswana and Tanzania. Furthermore, the findings reveal that gold co-moves with the South African stock market regardless of the market regime. These findings imply that, on average, gold offers limited protection for African equity investors.

This paper discusses the Legal Protection for workers with the status of a Specific Time ork Agreement according to Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation. Certain time work agreements are considered to be a lot of problems between workers and ompanies, especially in terms of contracts that should have switched status from a specific time work agreement (PKWT) to an indefinite time work agreement (PKWTT). So ar, the Specified Time Work Agreement (PKWT) is regulated in Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower, but with the passing of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job reation, there have been many pros and cons, especially in terms of Specified Time Work Agreements (PKWT). The purpose of this research is to find out about legal protection for aborers with PKWT status based on Law Number 13 of 2003 and law no 11 of 2020. The esearch conducted in this journal uses normative juridical research. The government rgues that the new rules contained in Law Number 11 of 2020 to protect workers' rights also minimize disputes between workers and companies, but from the workers' side, they hink that this new law is oppressive to workers, especially in the specific time work greement (PKWT) section. So far, workers who are bound by a certain time work agreement still have hope to be contracted permanently if they are contracted for more than 3 years by the company, but in the Job Creation Law, workers with a certain time work agreement can be contracted continuously forever.

Covid-19 rocked Indonesia in early 2020. In the course of time, Covid-19 has spread to 34 provinces in Indonesia. The member of these cases is increasing every day. Cries of confusion from the people sounded fromall directions. In dealing with this, the Government of Indonesia issued a program that cannot be separated from the pro and con attitudes of the community, namely the vaccination program. Behind this program it turns out that it also gave birth to several “rogue” parties who became the issues of the Covid-19 Vaccine Certificates without going through the vaccination proces either in the form of letters of electronic documents. Some experts have dismissed the issue of this. Things like this are the Government’s homeworks to be throughly investigated and no longer appear in the community.
Hornblende in ultramafic-mafic rocks of the Khudolaz Complex of the Southern Urals: Crystallization conditions and petrological implications

Subject research. Morphology and chemical composition of amphiboles from ultramafic-mafic rocks of the Khudolaz complex. Methods. Morphological studies were carried out using optical (Carl Zeiss Axioskop 40A) and electron (Tescan Vega Compact) microscopes. The chemical composition of minerals was determined using CAMECA SX 100 and JEOL JXA-8230 electron probe microanalyzers. Results. The rocks under study are dominated by xenomorphic brown titanium hornblende crystals, formed mainly due to the reaction of clinopyroxene with a residual water-saturated melt at 920–1040°C. Euhedral brown hornblende, which crystallized directly from the residual water-saturated melt in the same temperature range, was found in small amounts. Green hornblende originated along the edges and cracks in brown hornblende crystals during the late magmatic stage and early hydrothermal stage (670–830°C) at the subsolidus transformation. At the hydrothermal stage (620–650°C and below), brown and green hornblende were partially replaced by actinolite and cummingtonite. Conclusions. The nature of changes in the composition of brown hornblende indicates similar petrogenesis conditions at the late magmatic stage in all intrusions of the Khudolaz complex. The process of transition from brown hornblende to green hornblende occurred with a gradual increase in oxygen fugacity (ΔNNO from –0.2…+0.4 to +0.9…+2.5), and was accompanied by decrease of Ti, Fe2+, Na and the increase of Si, AlVI, Mg, and K in the mineral structure. The low concentrations of F and Cl in hornblende crystals indicate their formation after migration of halogens from the melt.

Research subject. For the first time, the mineral composition, petro- and geochemical features, generation and metasomatic alteration conditions, fluid regime (based on the behavior of F, Sl, and S in apatites), and ore-generating potential of granitoids from the South Saryshagan intrusion (Western Balkhash) were studied. Materials and methods. X-ray fluorescence and atomic emission methods of rock analysis (drilling well core), as well as microprobe (polished sections) studies of mineral composition. Results. The rock composition was found to correspond to moderately alkaline granites, formed at a generation pressure of about 2 kbar and T = 670°C. Subsequent metasomatic transformations were mediumtemperature (313–350°C) and multistage, i.e., phyllitization followed by chloritization. The ferrous composition of chlorite and the confinement of its development area to fracture zones indicate the local scale of the process. Ore mineralization is mainly represented by chalcopyrite, occasionally containing Au. According to the morphology and composition features, apatites from granites can be divided into two groups, i.e., magmatogenic grains and products of their transformations. In a diagram of F-Cl-S ratios, most points of their composition lie in the fields of rocks productive of Cu-porphyry mineralization. Conclusions. Mineral associations and the analysis of F, Cl, and S behavior in apatites indicate changes in the composition of the fluid phase over time under the conditions of an open system. In apatites, sulfur accumulates to the maximum level (0.012 wt % S) simultaneously with an increase in the amount of Cl and a decrease in the amount of F. After S reaches this level, the Cl content in apatites decreases followed by a notable increase in F; as a result, the late portions of the fluid become depleted of F, but enriched with Cl and S. In general, the content of the latter two components is low, compared with that typical of rich Cu–porphyry systems. Since the amount of mobilized copper depends on both the contents of Cl and S in the fluid and the volume of this fluid (determined by the size of the intrusion itself; in our case, it is a small body), the predicted copper reserves in the upper horizons of the South Saryshagan intrusion are small.

From Primate Myth to Global Concern
Authors: Khan Isabella
Published: November 2023

This analysis delves into the enigmatic nature of the Human Mpox Virus (formerly Monkeypox), a pathogenic virus that affects humans and has recently garnered attention due to its wide range of hosts and a global pandemic in 2022. Despite its misleading name, which implies primate transmission, the true origins and hosts of Mpox remain unknown, sparking debates about its classification and concerns about stigmatization. Through a thorough examination of the virus's historical emergence, clinical manifestations, evolving epidemiology, and transmission patterns, this analysis aims to provide valuable insights into this infectious disease. By understanding its complexities, effective control and prevention strategies can be developed. Mpox, belonging to the Orthopoxvirus species, shares genetic similarities with other poxviruses such as smallpox and cowpox. Early recognition of symptoms is vital for prompt diagnosis and isolation, as there is no permanent cure for Mpox. Preventive measures involve surveillance, early detection, isolation, and vaccination. By further exploring Mpox’s complexities, advancements can be made in controlling and preventing this infectious disease.

Decriminalization and legalization of illicit drugs have been hot topics ever since they hit the black market, and they have progressed a long way since. The history and subject of drugs continues to be a controversial topic, but it is evident that we still need change. This essay differentiates the concepts of decriminalization and legalization, their effects on drug policy, and their impacts on the user, and argues for the legalization of illicit drugs in Canada. It is argued that the legalization of illicit drugs allows for proper addiction treatment, safe consumption, addresses the large amounts of overdoses and opioid crisis and reduces stigmatization. Systemic and fundamental change is needed in order to prioritize the health, safety, and well-being of society as a whole.

Published: November 2023

Launching a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) out of the cargo hold of a flying transport aircraft (TA) is numerically investigated. A numerical tool chain is established to capture the dynamic motion of the UAV during launch, in which the DLR-TAU Code flow solver is coupled with a flight mechanics tool. A parameter study investigates how the UAV launch speed, position, and orientation relative to the loading platform of two different TAs affect its trajectory and aerodynamic behaviors. Furthermore, the influence of the angle of attack of the TA on the UAV trajectory and pitch angle is analyzed. This information will help design a launch mechanism that ensures a safe separation and aerodynamically stable flight after launch.
