Electromagnetic Information Transfer (EMIT) by Ultra High Diluted (UHD) solutions: the suggestive hypothesis of an epigenetic action.
Authors: Borghini Francesco , Dinelli Giovanni , Marotti Ilaria , Trebbi Grazia , Borghini Giovanni , Betti Lucietta 
Published: December 2021

The aim of this work is to confirm the theoretical possibility of an epigenetic mechanism shared between EMIT and UHD. The presentation will be divided in three sections:
1. Water aggregates with an electric dipole moment (UHD succussed solutions) as mediators of weak specific bioelectromagnetic signals on target stem cells.
Recent experimental works confirm the developing concept of water mediated Electromagnetic Information Transfer (EMIT) of specific molecular signals, picked up from the source biological effector, on target stem cells with evident effect on their proliferation [1]. Similar Electromagnetic (EM) emission and consequences are also reported by the scientific literature on rotational excited aggregates with an electric dipole moment, created in polar liquids by Ultra High Diluted (UHD) or High Diluted (HD) succussed solutions. These aggregates are composed of solvent molecules only or a combination of these and solute particles [2].
2. DNA mediated physiopathological effects of ELF EMFs
In detail, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the extremely low-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are classified as "possible carcinogenic" based on their effects [3-5], although most scientists agree that they are too weak to kill cells or to cause mutations and thus initiate cancer. Besides the prevailing paradigm of the environmentally-induced acute and chronic diseases involving either cell killing (cytotoxicity) or gene/chromosome mutations (genotoxicity), many studies concerning the biological and health consequences of ELF-EM exposure report that alteration of the expression of genetic information at the transcriptional, translational, or posttranslational levels has the potential to contribute to various diseases.
3. Epigenetic mechanism shared between EMIT and UHDs
The latter referred mechanism, denoted as "epigenetic" (that affects gene expression rather than gene structure), is characterized by threshold-like action, multiple biochemical pathways and it needs chronic regular exposures to be effective [6]. Epigenetic factors affect one of four potential cell states, namely alteration of cell proliferation, cell differentiation, programmed cell death (apoptosis) or adaptive responses of differentiated cells, and probably they act as co-inductors of DNA damage rather than as a genotoxic agents per se. At the present time, studies on genomic and functional genetic are identifying many genes and gene variants that potentially modulate the fundamental molecular mechanisms underpinning both physiological and pathological processes.
Storm Anatol over Europe in December 1999: impacts on societal and energy infrastructure
Authors: Kettle Anthony J. 
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Storm Anatol impacted the North Sea and northern Europe
on 3–4 December 1999. It brought hurricane force winds to Denmark and
northern Germany, and high winds also in Sweden and countries around the
Baltic Sea. For many meteorological stations in Denmark, the wind speeds
were the highest on record and the storm was ranked as a century event. The
storm impacts included extensive forest damage, fatalities, hundreds of
injuries, power outages, transportation interruptions, as well as storm
surge flooding on the west coast of Denmark. Strongly committed to wind
energy, Denmark lost 13 onshore wind turbines destroyed during the storm. An
important industry insurer noted that this was a remarkably low number,
considering the storm intensity and the large number of turbines
(>3500) installed in the country. In 1999, offshore wind energy
was just getting started in Europe, and the storm provided an important test
of environmental extreme conditions impacting offshore infrastructure. This
contribution takes a closer look at the regional met-ocean conditions during
the storm. A brief overview is made of the wind field and available wave
measurements from the North Sea. An examination is made of water level
measurements from around the North Sea to characterize the storm surge and
identify possible meteo-tsunamis and infragravity waves. Offshore accidents
are briefly discussed to assess if there had been unusual wave strikes on
shipping or platforms. At the time of the storm in 1999, there was a growing
awareness in the scientific community of possible changes in ambient sea
state conditions and the increasing threat of rogue waves. The offshore wind
energy community had become aware from the impact of rogue waves from damage
at the research platform FINO1 in the southern North Sea during severe
storms in 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2013. Storm Anatol may have been another
rogue wave storm at an earlier stage of offshore wind energy development.

Abstract. An accurate paddy rice map is crucial for ensuring food
security, particularly for Southeast and Northeast Asia. MODIS satellite
data are useful for mapping paddy rice at continental scales but have a
mixed-pixel problem caused by the coarse spatial resolution. To reduce the
mixed pixels, we designed a rule-based method for mapping paddy rice by
integrating time series Sentinel-1 and MODIS data. We demonstrated the
method by generating annual paddy rice maps for Southeast and Northeast Asia in 2017–2019 (NESEA-Rice10). We compared the resultant paddy rice maps with
available agricultural statistics at subnational levels and existing rice
maps for some countries. The results demonstrated that the linear
coefficient of determination (R2) between our paddy rice maps and
agricultural statistics ranged from 0.80 to 0.97. The paddy rice planting
areas in 2017 were spatially consistent with the existing maps in Vietnam
(R2=0.93) and Northeast China (R2=0.99). The spatial
distribution of the 2017–2019 composite paddy rice map was consistent with
that of the rice map from the International Rice Research Institute. The
paddy rice planting area may have been underestimated in the region in which
the flooding signal was not strong. The dataset is useful for water resource management, rice growth, and yield monitoring.

Effects of aquifer geometry on seawater intrusion in annulus segment island aquifers
Authors: Luo Zhaoyang , Kong Jun , Shen Chengji , Xin Pei , Lu Chunhui , Li Ling , Barry David Andrew 
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Seawater intrusion in island aquifers was considered analytically,
specifically for annulus segment aquifers (ASAs), i.e., aquifers that (in
plan) have the shape of an annulus segment. Based on the Ghijben–Herzberg
and hillslope-storage Boussinesq equations, analytical solutions were
derived for steady-state seawater intrusion in ASAs, with a focus on the
freshwater–seawater interface and its corresponding watertable elevation. Predictions of the analytical solutions compared well with experimental data, and so they were employed to investigate the effects of aquifer geometry on seawater intrusion in island aquifers. Three different ASA geometries were compared: convergent (smaller side is facing the lagoon, larger side is the internal no-flow boundary and flow converges towards the lagoon), rectangular and divergent (smaller side is the internal no-flow boundary, larger side is facing the sea and flow diverges towards the sea). Depending on the aquifer geometry, seawater intrusion was found to vary greatly, such that the assumption of a rectangular aquifer to model an ASA can lead to poor estimates of seawater intrusion. Other factors being equal, compared with rectangular aquifers, seawater intrusion is more extensive, and watertable elevation is lower in divergent aquifers, with the opposite tendency in convergent aquifers. Sensitivity analysis further indicated that the effects of aquifer geometry on seawater intrusion and watertable elevation vary with aquifer width and distance from the circle center to the inner arc (the lagoon boundary for convergent aquifers or the internal no-flow boundary for divergent aquifers). A larger aquifer width and distance from the circle center to the inner arc weaken the effects of aquifer geometry, and hence differences in predictions for the three geometries become less pronounced.
Swell hindcast statistics for the Baltic Sea

Published: December 2021

Abstract. The classic characterisation of swell as regular, almost monochromatic, wave trains does not necessarily accurately describe swell in water bodies shielded from the oceanic wave climate. In such enclosed areas the locally generated swell waves still contribute to processes at the air and seabed interfaces, and their presence can be quantified by partitioning wave components based on their speed relative to the wind. We present swell statistics for the semi-enclosed Baltic Sea using 20 years of swell-partitioned model data. The swell significant wave height was mostly under 2 m, and in the winter (DJF) the mean significant swell height was typically less than 0.4 m; higher swell was found in limited nearshore areas. Swell waves were typically short (under 5 s), with mean periods over 8 s being rare. In open-sea areas the average ratio of swell energy (to total energy) was mostly below 0.4 – significantly less than in the World Ocean. Certain coastal areas were swell dominated over half the time, mostly because of weak winds (U<5 m s−1) rather than high swell heights. Swell-dominated events with a swell height over 1 m typically lasted under 10 h. A cross-correlation analysis indicates that swell in the open sea is mostly generated from local wind sea when wind decays (dominant time lag roughly 15 h). Near the coast, however, the results suggest that the swell is partially detached from the local wind waves, although not necessarily from the weather system that generates them because the highest swell typically arrives with a roughly 10 h delay after the low-pressure system has already passed.
Effect of snowfall on changes in relative seismic velocity measured by ambient noise correlation

Published: December 2021

Abstract. In mountainous, cold temperate and polar sites, the presence of
snow cover can affect relative seismic velocity changes (dV/V) derived from
ambient noise correlation, but this relation is relatively poorly documented
and ambiguous. In this study, we analyzed raw seismic recordings from a
snowy flat field site located above Davos (Switzerland), during one entire
winter season (from December 2018 to June 2019). We identified three
snowfall events with a substantial response of dV/V measurements (drops of
several percent between 15 and 25 Hz), suggesting a detectable change in
elastic properties of the medium due to the additional fresh snow. To better
interpret the measurements, we used a physical model to compute frequency-dependent changes in the Rayleigh wave velocity computed before and after
the events. Elastic parameters of the ground subsurface were obtained from a seismic refraction survey, whereas snow cover properties were obtained from the snow cover model SNOWPACK. The decrease in dV/V due to a snowfall was well reproduced, with the same order of magnitude as observed values,
confirming the importance of the effect of fresh and dry snow on seismic
measurements. We also observed a decrease in dV/V with snowmelt periods, but we were not able to reproduce those changes with our model. Overall, our results highlight the effect of the snow cover on seismic measurements, but more work is needed to accurately model this response, in particular for the presence of liquid water in the snowpack.

Authors: Maciel Betania 
Published: December 2021

O protagonismo de grupos e pessoas que se manifestam através das expressões populares, em canais alternativos de comunicação pode colaborar com o desafio comunicacional imposto pela pandemia do Covid-19 que se revela não somente no problema de circular informações de caráter científico de natureza incerta para a população geral, como de enfrentar a polarização ocasionada pela disseminação de informações falsas, calcadas no negacionismo científico. A partir desta premissa investigamos, em plano de ensaio, os fundamentos teórico-metodológicos segundo a ótica da comunicação que possam contribuir para a compreensão destes fenômenos e para sua superação em termos objetivos. Dessa forma, o saber popular em confluência com as redes sociais digitais, o papel dos agentes folkcomunicacionais, particularmente o ativista midiático, assim como uma concepção de Folkcomunicação Científica voltada para a “resistência” e a para “insistência”, marcada pelo envolvimento do receptor nos processos comunicacionais, estabelecem os referenciais para futuras pesquisas empíricas que evidenciem as práticas e estratégias comunicativas dos grupos vulneráveis e socialmente marginalizados num contexto pandêmico.

Published: December 2021

This article aims to explore the role of induction in the construction Islamic commandments and the rules of Islamic jurisprudence. The pioneers of Islamic jurisprudence do not release rulings unless there is evidence indicating the issue, so, they base their fatwa or their actions with a legal ruling on evidence, and this evidence may be definitive, such as the book of Allah Almighty, the Sunnah, the consensus, or indefinite, except that when they mention some evidence along with its textual basis.
They say: This is evidenced by consensus, and the basis for consensus is as for the Quran, the Sunnah, or induction. The legal rulings were based on evidence that had a basis to lean on, so, I tried in this research to study the legal evidence, and what it leans on. I chose the induction that follows all the particles of essence, and how this induction is the basis of the legal evidence, as their saying of consensus is based on induction.

Breve análisis de Confesiones de San Agustín X.1.1.
Authors: Villegas Rodríguez Manuel 
Published: December 2021

San Agustín establece una íntima conexión del Libro X, Capítulo 1º de sus Confesiones, tanto en su temática como en su redacción retórica, con el Capítulo 1º del Libro I. En ese Capítulo se presenta, a semejanza de mi anterior estudio al Libro I,1, un breve análisis de las palabras utilizadas por san Agustín cuyo resultado obliga a disentir de traducciones que tergiversan el sentido de las que fueron elegidas por el Obispo de Hipona (cognoscam y virtus). San Agustín, como san Pablo se refieren al amor y conocimiento en el futuro eterno. Sin pretender ser exhaustivo en el recuento de las ediciones en lengua española que contienen el error señalado ascienden a más de 140 y alrededor de 4 en las que se traduce correctamente la palabra cognoscam.

Processes of plastic injection molding are often under analyzes in industry and science. Many of these considerations apply to epoxy resins with additional reinforcement, often with glass or carbon fiber inside the closed mould. The simulations of injection molding processes in the production of composite elements is not as common, as thermoplasts. Hence the idea to carry out the work described in this article. The RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) method is dedicated to serial production with the possibility of producing visual carbon fiber elements for aesthetic reasons. Simulations can help to better refine the products. This allows to take appropriate precautions and solve many issues before implementation. The article presents possible situations that could occur in real conditions. Various shapes models were prepared as basis of the numerical calculations. The analyses highlighting the possible issues were performed. The influence of resin pressure and flow rate on the final product was also considered. The aim was to present the characteristic phenomena and their causes that often occur in reality to technologists working with the RTM. Conclusions related to the work carried out are included. Based on the analyzes and conclusions drawn, it is possible to improve the quality of production processes.

Strategic Alliance and Acquisition Performance: Impact of Interfirm Synergies and Motives in the Bio-Pharmaceutical Industry
Authors: Jambulingam Thani , Saxton Todd 
Published: December 2021

This study draws on transaction cost, resource dependence, and organizational learning theories to posit relationships between transaction performance and transaction structure (alliances versus acquisitions), interfirm synergies, and motives. The study involves analysis of 66 international and intra­national alliances and acquisitions that were undertaken in the pharmaceutical industry. An initial survey was administered to firms involved in these transactions to gather information regarding motives, transaction structure, and interorganizational synergies. A second survey was administered two years after the transaction to gather information on transaction performance. Findings support the importance of transaction structure and strategic synergies between firms. Specifically, transaction structure and high levels of strategic fit between the firms had a positive impact on performance. There is also some evidence that synergies must be linked to the motives driving the transaction. The study yields meaningful results regarding factors leading to success of transactions (alliances and acquisitions) in a longitudinal study of intranational and international transactions in the biopharmaceutical industry.
