A new interpretation of soft-sediment deformation features (SSDs) in the Parktown Formation (lower West Rand Group); the physical processes of deformation during deposition
Authors: Hein K.A.A. , Goslin L. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In the Parktown Formation of the lower West Rand Group (Witwatersrand Supergroup), remarkably well-preserved soft-sedimentary deformation features (SSDs) occur in a number of locations in three stratigraphic horizons across the Vredefort Mountainland and in key sites in Johannesburg. The SSDs were the inevitable products of static liquefaction during early deposition in the Witwatersrand Basin. The trigger to static liquefaction is interpreted to be autogenic and related to cyclic fluctuations in pore fluid pressure(s) during capped dewatering. Allogenic triggers are not indicated. We suggest that static liquefaction was an integral physical process to sediment deposition on the Parktown Formation offshore platform, but a process not previously recognised as important to the modification of the West Rand Group stratigraphy across the Witwatersrand Basin.
Petrology and spatial correlation of Black Belly tuff cone basalts, Tanzania
Authors: Halász N. , Tóth T. M. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Most of the tuff cones in the North Tanzanian region have not been studied in depth. Therefore, the range of known rock types is limited, and the relationships between these cones are unknown. Our study focused on the Black Belly tuff cone located close to Oldoinyo Lengai. Petrographically, the studied Black Belly samples are alkaline basalts with microcrystalline groundmass and phenocrysts. The groundmass consists of plagioclase, clinopyroxene, Ti-magnetite, apatite, and the phenocrysts are predominantly clinopyroxene, altered (to calcite and serpentinite) olivine, and carbonate minerals. While Oldoinyo Lengai and Black Belly rocks are not similar or directly related, the mineralogy and mineral chemistry of the studied Black Belly samples are similar to those representing the Crater Highlands’ volcanoes. Based on their compositions, the Black Belly clinopyroxenes define one end-member, and Oldoinyo Lengai clinopyroxenes represent the other end-member, while the Crater Highlands’ samples are of a transitional composition. The compositions of the other minerals (olivine, feldspar, and magnetite) confirm this theory. According to mineral chemical data, the Black Belly samples crystallised in several steps under high pressures (5.6 to 6.6 kbar) and temperatures (750 to 900°C) from an alkali basaltic melt. Considering the new chemical and thermobarometry mineral data presented here and the structural evolution of the region, Black Belly cannot be petrologically part of Oldoinyo Lengai. Instead, it defines an end-member of a series, with Oldoinyo Lengai representing the other extreme and the Crater Highlands volcanoes in a transitional position.
Detrital zircon in Pleistocene aeolianite of the Isipingo Formation at Cape Vidal, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, gives age and Hf isotope signatures without provenance significance
Authors: Andersen T. , Elburg M.A. , Kapesi L. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Pleistocene (50 to 70 ka) aeolianite of the Isipingo Formation (Maputaland Group) at Cape Vidal, northern KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa, contains a combination of three detrital zircon age fractions (A: 940 to 1150 Ma, B: 470 to 720 Ma, C: 230 to 280 Ma) that are also known from Holocene sediments in eastern South Africa, Mesozoic – Cenozoic sandstones in southern Mozambique and from the Carboniferous to Jurassic Karoo Supergroup. Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic bedrock of the Kaapvaal Craton, which is exposed in the drainage basins of rivers that have provided detritus to coastal sedimentary basins, is represented by one single Archaean zircon. Combined laser Raman micro-spectroscopy and estimates of accumulated alpha radiation dose from U and Th concentrations indicate that the virtual absence of zircon older than late Mesoproterozoic cannot be attributed to selective removal of radiation-damaged zircon grains by abrasion during erosion and transport. The Isipingo Formation sandstone at Cape Vidal is a product of sedimentary recycling, potentially involving river transport from the continental hinterland, water- and wind-borne drift parallel to the coast and local recycling. Because of the similarity in detrital zircon distribution patterns of the sandstone and all of its potential Palaeozoic to Cretaceous sedimentary precursors, detrital zircon data cannot provide useful information on the relative importance of these processes, or on the routing of detritus to its final site of deposition.
Application of modern seismic attributes in the characterisation of mass transport deposits: Orange Basin, South Africa
Authors: Amaechi P.O. , Opuwari M. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The southern Orange Basin is structurally complex, with a tectonic history dating back to the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous. Mass movement events triggered by gravity and tectonic activities have resulted in the deposition of mass transport deposits (MTDs) on the seafloor. These MTDs have been documented as contributors to geohazards, posing risks to underwater infrastructure. Evidence of MTDs has been observed in 3D seismic surveys in the southern portion of the Orange Basin. However, limited studies have explored the geomorphological expression of MTDs using seismic attributes to delineate their shape, size, and anatomy in this region. The MTDs in the study area exhibit features such as basal shear surfaces (BSS), grooves, ramps, and striations. Four distinct mass transport packages were interpreted, primarily within the extensional regime, in the study area. These MTDs, spanning the Neogene to Coniacian periods, have thicknesses ranging from 300 m to 500 m. The MTDs are generally chaotic with semitransparent reflections. MTD D, being the largest, exhibits a maximum thickness of about 500 m and extends approximately 30 km in width.

Objetivo: Apresentar a temática da doença cárie na população pediátrica, assim como identificar os fatores que influenciam sua ocorrência e os tratamentos citados na literatura. Revisão bibliográfica: A prevalência da doença cárie na dentição decídua, segundo dados preliminares do SB Brasil (2020), mostram que aos 5 anos de idade, há um percentual de 82,9% de dentes cariados, seguido de 12,9% restaurados, revelando assim, um cenário de extensão da cárie na infância em nosso país. No que se refere aos tratamentos, vários são citados na literatura, a depender da extensão da lesão, que vão desde a fluorterapia e vernizes fluoretados, para remineralização de lesões iniciais, tratamentos minimamente invasivos, como o Tratamento restaurador Atraumático (ART), até tratamentos mais invasivos, como endodontia ou exodontias. Considerações finais: Apesar da diminuição da prevalência da cárie dentária nas últimas décadas, ainda é uma problemática ativa, principalmente em países subdesenvolvidos. Por isso, a abordagem preventiva multidisciplinar é de extrema importância, ainda mais quando se trata da infância, visto todo o impacto na saúde da criança a longo prazo.

The classic model of non-contact ACL injury includes environmental, anatomical, hormonal and biomechanical risk factors which directly impact either the amount of stress placed on the ligament or the relative capacity of ligament to withstand the forces placed on it. However, cognition also clearly plays a role in successful athletic performance, yet diminished cognitive function is rarely considered a risk factor for injury. Objective To examine the existing literature to determine the extent to which cognitive function (both cognitive ability and task cognitive load) influences non-contact lower extremity injury risk in male and female athletes with a broad variety of athletic expertise. Study Design Scoping Review Methods An electronic search was conducted of CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE using the PRISMA method. Search terms included Boolean combinations of “cognition”, “concussion”, “ImPACT”, “cognitive deficit”, “mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)”, and “neuropsychological function” as cognitive descriptors and the terms “injury risk” and “lower extremity injury” as injury descriptors. Inclusion criteria included papers written in English published between 2000-2021. Exclusion criteria included neurological and cognitively atypical populations, except for concussion (included). Included articles were appraised using the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies. Results Fifty-six studies utilizing across the spectrum of levels of evidence met inclusion criteria. Forty-one articles had good, fourteen had fair, and one had poor methodological quality. Studies examined baseline cognitive function in healthy athletes (n=7); performance during dual-task paradigms (n=13); and the impact of concussion on dual-task performance (n=4), LE injury risk (n=22), or post-concussion testing (n=10). Six articles examining cognitive function and all dual-task studies (including concussion studies) found altered biomechanics associated with injury or increased processing demands. Studies related to concussion and injury incidence consistently found an increased risk of LE injury following concussion. Half of the studies that examined concussion and post-concussion cognitive testing demonstrated significant effects. Discussion Consistent across participant demographics, tasks, and dependent measures, fifty-one of fifty-six assessed articles concluded that decreased cognitive ability or increased cognitive load led to risky LE mechanics or a direct increase in non-contact LE injury risk. Conclusion The robustness of results across gender, performance level, sport, cognitive ability, task cognitive load suggest that the inclusion of cognitive training in the design of optimal LE injury prevention programs warrants further study.

Published: October 2024

Alternative teaching strategies employed by grade school teachers were important in enhancing motivation in learning the Filipino language among students with dominant English language use at home. This qualitative research study explored these alternative strategies and their effects on the language learning motivation of the target student population. The study aimed to achieve two key objectives: (1) to identify the specific alternative teaching strategies utilized by Filipino teachers to enhance the motivation of English-dominant students in learning the Filipino language, and (2) to determine the effects of these alternative teaching strategies on the language learning motivation of the target student population. The findings of the study highlighted several effective alternative teaching strategies, including: the emphasis on the “Filipino word of the day” to enhance vocabulary acquisition and language proficiency; the incorporation of language games that integrated communication skills with learning, fostering more engaging and practical language experiences; the implementation of role-play activities to allow students to immerse themselves in real-life scenarios, enhancing their understanding and retention of language concepts; and the promotion of continuous exposure to the Filipino language in various contexts to solidify learning and improve practical application. The study also examined the effects of these alternative teaching strategies on the language learning motivation of English-dominant students. The results indicated that strategies such as encouraging language use outside the classroom, promoting engagement in reading activities, and incorporating student self-assessment and feedback had significantly improved students’ motivation, engagement, and overall language proficiency. The findings contributed to the existing body of knowledge on language education and offered recommendations for teachers to effectively motivate English-dominant students through the implementation of alternative teaching strategies.
Making Sense of the Political in Twentieth-Century China
Authors: Fan Xin 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
At the opening of the twentieth century, some believed that there was a lack of political consciousness among the Chinese people. They introduced foreign political theories, attempting to engage Chinese citizenry with the political. Yet what the political entails remains an unresolved issue even in China today. This article traces the history of Chinese translation of the political through a dynamic process of language adaptation and cultural appropriation. It argues that two competing legacies, one that promises the politicization as a way to liberate individual subjectivity in a modernizing society and another that calls for the order and organization that subject individual will to the collective power of the state, have exerted combined influences on shaping the modern Chinese conception of the political. As a result, to many Chinese today, politics is not just about the daily business of people's affairs but also an orderly society with a centralized authority.
Siyaset or Politika?
Authors: Topal Alp Eren , Wigen Einar 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this article, we trace the diversification of Ottoman political vocabulary from the eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth in a time of dynastic restoration and administrative modernization. We focus particularly on the transformation of the concept siyâset (rule, politics) which had been in use in Muslim polities for centuries, and the emergence, in the late eighteenth century, of the word politika which has come to be used alongside siyâset since then. In making sense of this bifurcation, we demonstrate that the Ottoman elite conceptions of politics were not simply replaced by the European conceptions. Rather, the equivalence of siyâset and politika was clearly contested by Ottoman statesmen, and the political terminology of rule and administration evolved in tandem with the material transformation of the Ottoman dynasty and state.
Israel's Zangwill; or, The Return of the King of Schnorrers
Authors: Bar-Yosef Eitan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article explores Israel Zangwill's posthumous presence in Israeli culture, as reflected in various media and discursive arenas: press coverage of his death and Yahrzeits; trends in the translation, publication and staging of his works; the inauguration of streets bearing his name; and references to his views and legacy in various political debates. Demonstrating how the tensions and contradictions so typical of Zangwill's persona were interpreted by cultural commentators or appropriated by opposing political camps, the first part of the article traces and contextualises Zangwill's gradual disappearance from the Israeli cultural mainstream. The second part then moves on to consider Zangwill's unexpected comeback in 2021, when a musical production of The King of Schnorrers, adapted by Nati Brooks, was staged in Tel Aviv. While the renewed interest in Zangwill's work is rooted specifically in the playwright's Anglo-Jewish background, the production employs Zangwill's 1790s Jewish London to consider ethnic tensions in present-day Israel.
The Melting-Pot and Its Legacies
Authors: Rochelson Meri-Jane 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article examines Israel Zangwill's 1908 play The Melting-Pot as a document in American immigration history, and the role of its most contested tropes – interfaith marriage and the melting-pot itself – in his efforts to rescue suffering Jews of Europe. Through close readings of the play and with reference to other works by Zangwill in the early twentieth century, the article looks at the play as a pragmatic work in a time of international upheaval and American nativism. A discussion of the play's reception by critics and audiences indicates that what was most controversial at the time of its production was not necessarily what Zangwill was most desirous to convey. But a look at its varied meanings over time reveals the persistence of the melting-pot metaphor in discussions of immigration, identity, ethnicity and nationhood, especially in the American imaginary.
Religion and Justice – from Leviticus to Lily
Authors: Jacobi Margaret 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article was a memorial lecture to the author's father, Rabbi Harry Jacobi, and begins with a tribute to his commitment to justice. It traces the concept of justice and its application from Leviticus to the Talmud to Lily Montagu. It suggests three models of approaching justice. In Leviticus, the principle of justice is clear and its application radical, especially in the concept of the Jubilee year. In the Talmud, the complexity of justice is addressed. Examples are given of debates about disputed possession, compensation and taxation. Finally, a biography of Lily Montagu and examples of her work are presented to show how she put the theory of justice into practice. It is suggested that a threefold approach to building justice is needed: a strong sense of justice, an acknowledgement of the complexities and a commitment to actively working for justice.
Spatial and Climatic Patterns of Intraregional Migration in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
Authors: Sinitsa Arseniy L. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This study investigates the impact of the geographical location of uluses (municipal districts) and their climate on intraregional migration in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Six of the most common indices describing the intensity of migration were used for the analysis. Despite strong outflows of population from the north, the disparities between the Arctic uluses and the rest of the Republic were statistically insignificant. Disparities between geographical parts of Yakutia and clusters by temperature were more marked, but they were not observed for all indices. This is due to a very low migration turnover in the south. The study finds that the geographical location of the uluses and their climate had some influence on intraregional migration, but socioeconomic determinants were much more important.
Mediumship for Pets: A Pilot Study With a Triple-Blind Protocol
Authors: Tressoldi Patrizio , Liberale Laura , Sinesio Fernando 
Published: October 2024

This study is the first to use a triple-blind protocol to test the mediumship for pets.

The information obtained by the six expert mediums included in the 20 readings was evaluated by the sitters for their overall accuracy, global score, and reading identification. With respect to the control readings, the intended readings obtained a high percentage of correct information, a high overall score, and a 63.1 percentage of correct identification. All three quantitative measures were similar to those observed in a study involving deceased humans.

This pilot study demonstrates the possibility of using mediumship for pets by applying an experimental protocol identical to that used for humans.
