The aim of this research is to make a Roller Shaf as an alternative tool for rolling long cloth based on machine technology, namely using an AC electric motor. The method used in this research uses the interactive model R&D method from Miles & Huberman which consists of four components, namely data collection, data reduction, and prototype testing on users. Respondents came from the administrators of mosques and prayer rooms in Palangka Raya who were observed randomly, including the Takmir of the Palangka Raya University Mosque, Amanah Mosque, Flamboyan Mosque, Gede Kalampangan Mosque, Al-Khaidir Badak 22 Mosque, and the Jami' Nurul Islam Mosque in Pasar Besar Palangka Raya, then analyzed using qualitative descriptive. The results obtained were that the Roller Shaf trial was carried out at the Salahuddin Campus Mosque, Palangka Raya University and showed that the Roller Shaf could be used, equipped with a volume speed as a rolling speed controller. The Roller Shaf is made from environmentally friendly materials, equipped with a machine microcontroller from an 8 Volt AC dynamo, and covered with a box that is adjusted to the size of the fabric. The obstacle with the Roller Shaf is the use of an AC dynamo which needs to be adjusted to the length of fabric used. If the fabric is satin, it requires a large dynamo voltage. Future suggestions, this machine can be used by mosques and prayer rooms that use long prayer mats as well as users such as laundry entrepreneurs, batik entrepreneurs, and relevant fabric companies.

Indonesia with its tropical climate should adopt green buildings arranged by the Government Regulation. The green buildings usually use the Double Skin Façade (DF) system to mitigate heat transfer into interior spaces. One of the green buildings at Diponegoro University is the Psychology Faculty. This research aims to analyze this green building based on Government Regulation, such as stipulated in SNI 6389-2011 and the Ministerial Regulation of PUPR of the Republic of Indonesia Number 21, dated 2021, which mandates that the overall heat transfer value of the outer building should not exceed 35 W/m². By applying the descriptive qualitative method, the Overall thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) was measured. The results show that Faculty of Psychology building at Diponegoro University utilizes the DSF system, with stopsol Asahimas dark blue glass as the outer skin and predominantly brick inner skin equipped with operable windows with the Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) value of 42.6 W/m². However, the comprehensive building OTTV value is 54.94 W/m², classified as non-compliant with green building design criteria based on the Government Regulations.
New Minerals from the Redmond Mine, North Carolina, USA: VII. Zincochenite, the Zn Analogue of Chenite
Authors: Kampf Anthony R. , Smith Jason B. , Hughes John M. , Ma Chi , Emproto Christopher
Published: May 2024

The new mineral zincochenite, Pb4Zn(OH)6(SO4)2 (IMA2022-025), was found in the Redmond mine, Haywood County, North Carolina, USA, where it occurs in a highly unusual secondary assemblage that comprises a variety of rare Pb-Zn-Cu sulfates, thiosulfates, and carbonates. Zincochenite was found in vugs in massive galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite-quartz in close association with bechererite, chenite, cherokeeite, elyite, lanarkite, and steverustite. Zincochenite crystals vary in habit including tablets, blades, and prisms, up to about 0.5 mm in maximum dimension. Crystals always occur in tightly intergrown subparallel clusters. The color is most commonly light blue, the streak is white, and the luster is vitreous to resinous. The mineral is brittle with curved and irregular fracture and one fair cleavage, probably on . The Mohs hardness is about 3½. The calculated density is 5.939 g/cm3. The mineral is biaxial (−) with α = 1.875(5), β = 1.900(5), γ = 1.915(5). The 2V is 78.4(5)° with strong r > v dispersion. The partially determined optical orientation is Y ≈ and there is no pleochroism. Electron microprobe analyses provided the empirical formula Pb4.00(Zn0.94Cu2+0.06)Σ1.00(SO4)1.81(S2O3)0.19(OH)6. Zincochenite is triclinic, P, a = 5.883(4), b = 7.938(5), c = 7.948(5) Å, α = 110.511(12), β = 98.497(10), γ = 100.152(8)°, V = 333.2(3) Å3, and Z = 1. Zincochenite is isostructural with chenite. In the crystal structure (R1 = 0.0874 for 936 I > 2σI), short bonds between the Pb atoms and OH groups define a chain along [011] and these chains are bridged by ZnO2(OH)4 octahedra to form sheets parallel to . SO4 tetrahedra decorate both sides of the sheets. The sheets are linked together in the direction via long Pb–O bonds and hydrogen bonds.
What Prevents the Crystallization of Magma from the Roof Downwards in Large Basaltic Magma Chambers?
Authors: Latypov Rais , Chistyakova Sofya
Published: May 2024

A common feature of layered intrusions is the absence of the Upper Border Series (UBS)—a rock sequence that is expected to grow from the roof downwards in large basaltic magma chambers. This is surprising because magma cooling occurs predominantly through the roof of magma chambers. The lack of the UBS is thus indicative of some fundamental reason that prevents basaltic magmas from crystallizing at the chamber roof. Here, we propose that this could be attributed to a layer of anatectic granitic melt that develops on the top of evolving basaltic chambers. The layer may be formed by partial melting of silica-rich crustal rocks in response to the upward transfer of heat from the crystallizing magma. The heat transfer takes place through the initial UBS, resulting in this unit becoming suspended between two buoyant liquids: granitic melt above and basaltic melt below. This unstable position leads to the disruption of the UBS and its collapse onto the temporary chamber floor. A two-layer magma system thus forms, with a light granitic melt floating atop a denser basaltic magma. The granitic melt is expected to be superheated with respect to its liquidus temperature via heat transfer from the underlying basaltic magma. In the absence of a solid surface at the top of the basaltic magma layer, the growth of the UBS cannot resume due to the lack of a solid place for new crystals to attach. Further crystallization of basaltic magma may therefore only continue from the base upwards, producing a layered intrusion that consists of only floor rock sequences.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE WORLD: JET-GROUTING FOR CONSOLIDATION OF TUNNEL FOUNDATION AT THE OPERATED METRO LINE BETWEEN KANTEMIROVSKAYA AND TSARITSYNO STATIONS
Authors: Zasorin Michail S.
Published: May 2024

Introduction. Today, jet-grouting of soils has proven itself as an effective technology capable of solving various geotechnical problems. One of the areas of jet-grouting technology is to create soil-cement elements with specified strength and deformation parameters. Example of consolidating the foundation of tunnel lining of the operated track tunnels illustrates the possibility of successful use of jet-grouting technology in the space restricted by tunnel lining dimensions and limited by working hours during the so-called “night windows”.
Aim. Determining the possibility of carrying out works using jet-grouting technology restricted by limited time conditions and tunnel lining dimensions.
Materials and methods. To solve the set task and test the initial theoretical principles, empirical work was carried out on a trial site, with further analysis and adjustment of the results obtained.
Results. A highly effective step-by-step scheme for the installation of soil-cement reinforced elements was developed, which for the first time in the world practice made it possible to carry out works to strengthen the tunnel lining in the operated metro tunnels.
Conclusions. As part of the project to consolidate the foundation of the tunnel using jet-grouting technology, for the first time in the world practice, 1,120 soil-cement piles were installed in the operated metro track tunnels. This allowed to abandon the permanent water reduction system, as well as to operate tunnels in a standard mode, without any limitations of train speed.

Dentre as dificuldades econômicas enfrentadas pelos pequenos produtores rurais na região da Amazônia Central, são desafios que para serem superados é crucial implementar políticas e programas que promovam o desenvolvimento rural sustentável, fortalecendo a capacidade produtiva e promovendo a inclusão econômica das comunidades rurais.O acesso limitado aos mercados por parte dos pequenos produtores que geralmente não estão envolvidos na produção de commodities, faz com que eles ainda enfrentem dificuldades em acessar os mercados devido à falta de infraestrutura de transporte e armazenamento. A ausência de estradas adequadas e instalações de armazenamento refrigerado torna difícil para eles transportar e preservar seus produtos, limitando assim seu acesso aos mercados consumidores. Além disto, os “modus operandi” dos pequenos produtores envolvem a produção de culturas de subsistência ou produtos de nicho, como frutas, verduras, ervas medicinais e artesanato. No entanto, devido à falta de capacidade de processamento e agregação de valor, eles muitas vezes vendem seus produtos a preços baixos, sem poder capturar o valor total de sua produção.

In addition, brand image is proven to be able to mediate the influence of digital marketing and word of mouth on purchase intention. This proves the theory of planned behaviour that consumer intentions are based on trust in information obtained through online media or directly from someone who is considered credible. Property agent marketers in Bali are expected to take advantage of digital marketing by advertising to make it easier for consumers to remember property agents so as to attract more potential customers.
The impact of failure to make payment behaviour on the profitability of South African municipal electricity suppliers.
Authors: ALIAMUTU Kansilembo Freddy , MKHIZE Msizi
Published: May 2024

Failure to make payments for labour remains a source of concern in the provision of municipal services in South Africa. According to literature, the tradition of failure to make payment rates from the apartheid period, when widespread civic resistance expressed itself via refusing rate paying. The research investigates the influence of South Africa's failure to make payment behaviour on municipal profitability. The random-effects model is utilised to evaluate the connection among the profitability and failure to make payments for 28 municipalities from 2007 to 2022. The findings show that failure to make payments has negative effects on profitability. Profitability is lowered by R291 with each R1000 higher number of unpaid debts written down. Furthermore, national government funds, the total number of users, and the proportion of home units getting free basic electricity all have a positively impact on profitability. These findings support the necessity for more inventive techniques to transform failure to make payment into a payment behaviour.
Locke and Sterne: The History of a Critical Hobby-Horse
Authors: JONES DARRELL
Published: May 2024

This essay provides a comprehensive account of the establishment, development, decline, and recent re-emergence of an interpretatively powerful idea: that Laurence Sterne was profoundly influenced by the philosophical empiricism of John Locke. Although his name is occasionally mentioned in Sternean imitations and parodies of the 1760s, Locke’s influence on Sterne remained largely unobserved until the discovery at the beginning of the twentieth century of a remarkable piece of biographical evidence. In the decades that followed, critical solutions to the problem of Locke and Sterne frequently raised significant questions about the status of sources, the nature of authority, and the possible relationships between literature and philosophy. In recent years, progressive approaches to scholarly methodology have again made it possible to think critically and productively about Locke and Sterne. This essay offers a contextual and historical foundation for the future development of the debate.

FOSTERING GREEN TRANSITION IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE: CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS, INDUSTRIALIZATION, FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND ELECTRICITY NEXUS
Authors: Mitić Petar , Fedajev Aleksandra , Radulescu Magdalena , Hudea Oana Simona , Streimikiene Dalia
Published: May 2024

Climate change presents a substantial impediment for the global community and prompts policymakers worldwide to prioritize environmental goals when defining national development strategies. Prioritizing these goals is particularly challenging for governments of developing economies still relying on fossil fuels, foreign capital, and industry contribution to GDP. This study examines the relationships between carbon dioxide emissions, industry value added, financial development, and electricity generation in 15 Central and Eastern European countries from 1995 to 2021. To achieve this objective, we examined stationarity and cointegration and employed a vector error correction model to investigate causalities between the variables, along with a variance decomposition analysis. Our findings suggest that the short-run unidirectional causalities exist from industry value-added to carbon dioxide emissions and from carbon dioxide emissions to financial development and electricity generation. Long-term causality exists between carbon dioxide emissions and industry value added. The findings shed light on the challenges and opportunities these countries face in transitioning to climate neutrality and meeting the decarbonization targets. Within this context, the findings underscore the significance of crafting customized strategies for these economies to navigate the complex landscape of climate change while promoting sustainable industrial, electricity and financial sector development.
The Potential of Asteroseismology to Resolve the Blue Supergiant Problem
Authors: Bellinger Earl Patrick , de Mink Selma E. , van Rossem Walter E. , Justham Stephen
Published: May 2024

Despite major progress in our understanding of massive stars, concerning discrepancies still remain between observations and theory. Most notable are the numerous stars observed beyond the theoretical main sequence, an evolutionary phase expected to be short lived and hence sparsely populated. This is the “Blue Supergiant Problem.” Stellar models with abnormal internal structures can provide long-lived solutions for this problem: core hydrogen-burning stars with oversized cores may explain the hotter ones, and core helium-burning stars with undersized cores may explain the cooler ones. Such stars may result from enhanced or suppressed mixing in single stars or, more likely, as the products of binary interaction and stellar mergers. Here we investigate the potential of asteroseismology to uncover the nature of blue supergiants. We construct stellar models for the above scenarios and show that they predict g-mode period spacings that differ by an order of magnitude: ∼200 min versus ∼20 min for long-lived core H and He burning stars, respectively. For the classical scenario of H-shell-burning stars rapidly crossing the HG, we furthermore predict changes of the order of 10−2
μHz yr−1 in high-frequency modes; this effect would be in principle observable from ∼5 yr of asteroseismic monitoring if these modes can be identified. This raises the possibility of revealing the internal structure of blue supergiants and thus determining whether these stars are indeed binary merger products. These asteroseismic diagnostics may be measurable through long time-series observations from the ongoing TESS mission and upcoming PLATO mission, thereby laying a path toward resolving the blue supergiant problem.
The Distribution of Satellites in the TNG100 Simulation based on Time Spent in Halo
Authors: McDonough Bryanne , Dsouza Reuben
Published: May 2024

An important test of the Λ Cold Dark Matter model is the degree to which galaxy dark matter halos follow the predicted, characteristic density profile. In this Note, we explore the use of satellite galaxies as luminous tracers of halo mass density profiles as a function of the time since they joined the halos. We perform this investigation in the TNG100 simulation, where we can obtain precise locations of satellite galaxies and dark matter particles. We find that, by adopting a more accurate definition of joining redshift compared to a previous investigation, the oldest satellites are better, but not perfect tracers of the dark matter distribution.

Published: May 2024

High resolution high signal-to-noise UVES spectra of the late B-type chemically peculiar star, HD 87240, a member of the NGC 3114 open cluster, have been synthesized to measure the abundance of chlorine, an element which is rarely found in late B-type stars. Sixteen lines of Cl ii are found and the mean chlorine overabundance is about 2.1 dex higher than the solar abundance, which is slightly lower than the chlorine excess in HR 1094, another chlorine-rich late B-type star.
Population structure of Taenioides sp. (Gobiiformes, Gobiidae) reveals their invasion history to inland waters of China based on mitochondrial DNA control region

Published: May 2024

Taenioides sp. is a small temperate fish originally known to inhabit muddy bottoms of brackish waters in coastal areas of China. However, it began to invade multiple inland freshwaters and caused severe damage to Chinese aquatic ecosystems in recent years. To investigate the sources and invasive history of this species, we examined the population structure of 141 individuals collected from seven locations based on partial mitochondrial D-loop regions. The results revealed that the genetic diversity gradually decreased from south to north, with the Yangtze River Estuary and Taihu Lake populations possessing the highest haplotype diversity (Hd), average number of differences (k), and nucleotide diversity (π) values, suggesting that they may be the sources of Taenioides sp. invasions. Isolation-by-distance analysis revealed a non-significant correlation (p = 0.166) between genetic and geographic distances among seven populations, indicating that dispersal mediated through the regional hydraulic projects may have played an essential role in Taenioides sp. invasions. The population genetic structure analysis revealed two diverged clades among seven populations, with clade 2 only detected in source populations, suggesting a possible difference in the invasion ability of the two clades. Our results provide insights into how native estuary fish become invasive through hydraulic projects and may provide critical information for the future control of this invasive species.

Discovery rates of new species are uneven across taxonomic groups and regions, with distinctive and widely distributed species being more readily described than species with secretive habits. The genus Rhynchocalamus includes five species of secretive snakes distributed from Egypt eastwards to Iran, including the Arabian Peninsula. A wide biogeographic gap exists within the genus, which separates R. dayanae found in south Israel from R. arabicus, which occurs in the coastal areas of south Yemen and Oman. We describe Rhynchocalamus hejazicussp. nov., a small, secretive snake, with a distinctive colouration and a melanistic morph. The new species occurs in the northwestern Hejaz region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and fills a large part of the existing distribution gap of the genus in the Arabian Peninsula. Molecular analyses of mitochondrial (12S, 16S, cytb) and nuclear genes (cmos, MC1R, NT3, RAG1) indicate that R. hejazicussp. nov. is closely related to R. dayanae and R. arabicus, but uncertainty on the deep relationship within the genus remains. The new species has a large distribution range which potentially includes other regions in Jordan and KSA, and is associated with mountainous areas with cold wet seasons. Furthermore, it inhabits sandy and stony soils with varying vegetation cover and can be found in anthropogenically disturbed habitats, suggesting that the species should not be categorised as threatened according to IUCN criteria. The discovery of such a distinctive species highlights the existing gap in the description of rare and secretive species, and the need to enhance sampling efforts and monitoring strategies to fully capture species diversity in unexplored areas.

Ce papier présente les résultats d’une recherche préliminaire du projet ValEUR. Au cours des dernières décennies, les élargissements de l’Union européenne et le processus constitutionnel ont donné lieu à des débats sur les valeurs communes susceptibles d’unir les pays et les citoyens européens et de justifier l’action publique. Ce papier étudie l’étendue, les modalités et les significations du recours aux valeurs dans le discours institutionnels de l’UE sur la période 2000-2015. Le rôle des valeurs comme objets d’action publique et/ou comme sources de légitimation politique est étudié dans quatre secteurs : la communication institutionnelle, l’identité (éducation, culture, citoyenneté, mémoire), la religion et l’état de droit. A travers une analyse qualitative pour chaque secteur, nous déterminons les conditions de l’émergence et de l’usage des valeurs dans les discours institutionnels, la fréquence de ces valeurs, les possibles différences/partage des rôles entre institutions et enfin les significations et fonctions attribuées aux valeurs.
Avoir peur
Authors: Sibony Daniel
Published: May 2024

On étudie les rapports entre la peur et l’origine, redéfinie comme potentiel des départs possibles. On distingue la peur de l’angoisse via la différence entre manque de lien et manque de loi. Puis on introduit la notion de peur radicale, peur que le différent devienne le même ou que le même devienne différent ; peur non pas de l’origine mais peur que l’origine soit différente de ce qu’on croit, peur qu’elle change, qu’on la perde, qu’elle nous rejette, etc. Peur de ne pas pouvoir la quitter, peur d’y rester. On reformule la question de la peur en termes de reconnaissance : peur de devenir méconnaissable ou d’être non reconnaissable ; et peur que le monde le devienne. On étaie toutes ces approches en se référant à la clinique et à une autre lecture du texte de Freud : Un trouble de mémoire sur l’Acropole , qu’on interprète comme un trouble d’identité qui touche à la peur radicale.

Le couple pervers imaginé par E. Albee dans sa pièce Qui a peur de Virginia Woolf par, et magistralement interprété à l’écran par Liz Taylor et Richard Burton, nous servira de paradigme quant au fantasme d’infanticide, décrit par Serge Leclaire. Fantasme que nous avons exploré dans le domaine du périnatal, mais dont l’omniprésence se manifeste dans tout le psychisme humain.
Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (JEDI-B) in Transition to Practice Programs
Authors: Reed Kathryn
Published: May 2024

Justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging (JEDI-B) are essential for creating safe and productive professional environments. Clear definitions of JEDI-B terms are essential for collective understanding and organizational buy-in. Institutional and transition to practice program efforts should focus on the development of inclusive cultures, diverse curriculum, and data-driven evaluation of JEDI-B policies, processes, and practices. Engagement in bias recognition and the unlearning of those biases is also vital. Despite current legislative challenges, the integration of JEDI-B principles remains a vital component in enhancing health care experiences for patients and fostering inclusive workplaces.

Outpatient Commitment in the United States: Utilization, Benefits, and Patient Perspectives
Authors: Heyman-Kantor Reuben , Dinwiddie Stephen H.
Published: May 2024

Assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) is a form of care that utilizes court orders to mandate treatment for individuals who suffer from severe mental illness and deteriorate due to nonadherence. AOT programs exist for select patients in many countries but in the United States are used extensively in only a minority of jurisdictions. While statutory frameworks are relatively similar, the resources available within AOT programs and the extent of utilization vary markedly by state. Evidence for efficacy comes primarily from mirror-image studies that follow patients before and after program enrollment, as well as certain sophisticated cohort studies performed in jurisdictions in which AOT is well resourced and where court orders are often in effect over extended periods of time. While mandated care inherently involves coercion, qualitative studies indicate that many patients enrolled in AOT programs identify some benefits of AOT when their symptoms improve.

Botulinum Toxin A Injection in Horizontal Nystagmus: Effect on the Frequency of the Oscillation on a Pediatric Population
Authors: Bergamim Daiane , Surgik Thaís Christine dos Santos , Zinher Mariana Tosato , Nogueira de Lassus Teresa Cristina
Published: May 2024

Purpose:

To evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin A injection on the frequency of horizontal nystagmus in children.

Methods:

This was a non-randomized before-and-after clinical trial evaluating a cohort of children with horizontal nystagmus before and after treatment with botulinum toxin A. The toxin was injected under general anesthesia with spontaneous ventilation without intubation using the Mendonça forceps and the effect was evaluated by analyzing the frequency of the oscillation in Hertz (Hz) on video registrations before and after treatment.

Results:

The current study found a statistically significant difference on the frequency of the nystagmus in children before and after the injection of botulinum toxin A, with the mean frequency decreasing from 1.55 ± 0.94 Hz before treatment to 1.04 ± 0.87 Hz at 1 month post-injection (
P
< .001) and to 1.27 ± 0.87 Hz at 6 months post-injection (
P
= .002). When comparing the data 1 and 6 months post-injection, this study found a significant increase (
P
= .001) in the frequency of the nystagmus.

Conclusions:

The injection of botulinum toxin A is effective in reducing the frequency of oscillations in children with horizontal nystagmus both 1 and 6 months after the procedure, and can be used as a first-line, less invasive treatment aiming to decrease the frequency of oscillation.

Prevalence of Unscreened Premature Infants Presenting With Advanced Stages of Retinopathy of Prematurity in South India: An Analysis of 220 Eyes
Authors: Das Abhishek , Subramaniam Prema , Shah Parag K. , Venkatapathy Narendran
Published: May 2024

Purpose:

To evaluate the demographic profile of premature infants presenting with stage 4B and stage 5 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) at a tertiary referral center in South India.

Methods:

This was a retrospective review including all premature infants with stage 4B and 5 ROP between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2022. Parameters included the newborns born at the tertiary care nursery of various institutes, gestational age, birth weight, age at presentation to the hospital, risk factors, screening details, neonatal intensive care unit details, reason for consultation, and timing of referral to the center.

Results:

Two hundred twenty eyes of 110 premature infants were included. Of 110 infants, 6 were born within the same city and 104 were from other districts or states. Mean birth weight was 1,125 ± 360 g and mean gestational age at birth was 28 ± 2 weeks. Mean age was 42 ± 82 weeks and median age at presentation was 17 weeks (range: 2.86 to 591 weeks). Male-to-female infant ratio was 1.34:1. Fifty (45.4%) infants had bilateral stage 5 ROP, 17 (15.4%) had stage 5 in one eye and stage 4B in the other eye, 15 (13.6%) had bilateral stage 4B and 23 (20.9%) had stage 4B in one eye and stage 4A/stage 3 in the other eye. Five (4.5%) had stage 5 in one eye and vitreous hemorrhage/stage 4A in the other eye. Among those with bilateral stage 5 ROP, 90% were from neighboring districts/states. Fifty-two (47.27%) infants underwent vitreoretinal surgery. Of 110 infants, 28 (25.45%) were self-referred (late presentation due to family-related issues), 80 (72.73%) were referred by ophthalmologists either after a few sessions of late screening or for further management, 1 (0.91%) was referred through telescreening, and 1 was referred from pediatricians directly to the hospital.

Conclusions:

This study highlights the importance of awareness of the disease and screening of premature infants. Lack of these two factors leads to late presentation of these infants with advanced stages and serious implications.
