Abstract
The evolution of metamorphic core complexes is closely related to gold formation. Due to the thick cover and orebodies’ lying depth, exploration regularities, and metallogenic prediction have faced challenges. Therefore, new data were obtained through controlled-source audio magnetotelluric (MT) and broadband MT methods to predict the ore-bearing properties at depth and decipher the spatial coupling relationship, respectively. The results of broadband MT surveys allow us to identify the thick cover (apparent resistivity of 3,000 Ω m), the strongly deformed metamorphic rock (apparent resistivity of 18,000 Ω m), and two low-angle detachment faults (apparent resistivity from 5,000 to 8,000 Ω m). The fault-dip value on the left side is roughly 30°, while on the other side, the values significantly change from 30° to 75°, although they are in the same structure. Moreover, the controllable source audio MT method provides more detailed examinations of the right side fault. The proved ore-bearing gold orebodies were all located in the transition zone where the inclination angle changes from steep to gentle or gentle to steep. The discovery of this mineralization pattern allows us to evaluate the mining prospecting potential and predict the deep-seated metallogenic location. Based on the geotectonic environment and the geophysical profiles, we conclude that the coeval exhumation of the metamorphic core complex with non-symmetrical northwest-southeast shear senses may have resulted from a decratonization event during the retreat of the Paleo-Pacific Plate.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Light Fidelity (LiFi) based on data transfer with visible light offers a more profound solution to the wireless communication paradigms. This study brings focus on how the line-of-sight (LOS) channel can be used to enhance the performance of a LiFi network. We discuss the LOS channel characteristics, system features, and deployment considerations with respect to evolution and prospects. Experimental modelling and conditions testing involve Q-factor, bit error rate (BER) and data rates analysis. The results presented in this study suggest that both the characteristics of channels and the data transmitted affect the efficiency of the network; higher data rates and longer distances lead to increased BER and lower Q-factor. The outcome of this study reveals key factors which influence the channel performance and provides a guideline that would be beneficial in advancing the LiFi system implementation for different applications. It is hoped that the findings of this study are useful for network engineers and researchers to design better and more flexible LiFi systems for various communication applications.
The Possibility of Object-Oriented Film Philosophy
Authors: Bolšakovas Edgaras 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The debate surrounding the definition and specificity of cinema continues in contemporary film philosophy and theory. This article challenges the traditional approach of medium specificity and proposes Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) as an alternative framework for understanding cinema. Drawing on OOO’s core principles, the article argues that films, like all objects, are autonomous entities with their own reality. Their meaning is not inherent, but rather emerges through the “performative” interaction between the film object and the viewer. This interaction generates “sensual qualities” that constitute the film’s aesthetic experience. The article contends that focusing on the performativity of cinema, rather than seeking a fixed definition, offers a more productive approach to philosophizing on film. It allows for a deeper understanding of how films function as objects and the ways they generate meaning in relation to viewers.
Alberta Hunter, Musical Qualia of Blackness, and Black Women Working Together
Authors: Gómez Jonathan A. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this article, I argue for a culturally specific and historically informed understanding of Black voice and musical identity through an examination of the musical practices of vocalist Alberta Hunter (1895–1984), whose long career can be broken into two distinct periods: first from the middle of the 1910s to 1956, and a second between 1977 and her death in 1984. Within, I reframe musical practices emergent from and developed within Black American communities as musical “qualia”—socio-culturally informed and chronotopically situated embodiments of something’s properties—of Blackness, to enable a more direct investigation of how and why certain sounds signal or index Blackness to both listeners and performers. To demonstrate the musico-semiotic function of Black vocality and musical performance, I employ a synthetic methodology combining theorizations of qualia from the field of linguistic anthropology with detailed transcription and analysis of four recordings of “Downhearted Blues,” a piece she co-composed with pianist Cora “Lovie” Austin and recorded several times throughout her long career. Close examination of three recordings made by Hunter (1922, 1939, and 1977) and one made by vocalist Bessie Smith (1923) allows for a more granular understanding of how Hunter’s musical practice transformed over time in dialogue with broader genealogies of Black musical history. I focus particularly on Hunter’s relationships with other Black women in the performance of this tune, arguing that “Downhearted Blues” ultimately becomes a site for the development of a Black feminist epistemology exemplary of what musicologist Tammy Kernodle has identified as “Black Women Working Together” (2014).
Conceptual therapeutics for small cell lung cancer
Authors: Chaudhry Sunil , Trailokya Abhijit 
Published: October 2024

Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is 15% of all lung cancers and is definitely of the most aggressive tumors, with relative poor prognosis and with limited drugs. 90% of patients of SCLC are regular smokers providing the link that tobacco carcinogens are responsible for the initiation. The value of female smokers (79.9) is more than that of male smokers (20.3). The 5 year survival rate has been reported to be less than 7%. The cornerstone of treatment for any stage of SCLC is etoposide-platinum based chemotherapy; in limited stage (LS) along with concomitant radiotherapy to thorax and mediastinum. Novel drugs used in treatment of SCLC are: Atezolizumab. Everolimus, Durvalumab, Iplimumab, Tarlatamab which target PD-L1, a protein related to PD-1 that is found on some tumor cells and immune cells.The combination of thoracic RT with chemotherapy results in improved survival compared to chemotherapy alone.The role of surgery in SCLC has been under question, though performed in earlier stage 1 as per the International Guidelines. Some reports document better OS in early stage III too.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a prevalent condition among women of reproductive age, characterized by physical, emotional and behavioral symptoms that can significantly impact daily life. Physical activity is known for its health benefits, including fitness, mood enhancement and stress reduction. This study aims to determine the relationship between Physical activity and Premenstrual syndrome among college students. A cross-sectional study was performed on 500 female college students aged between 18-30 years old. A questionnaire was used to collect research data. Demographic characteristics, PMS severity and physical activity levels were measured. Data were analysed using SPSS software (SPSS Inc.; Chicago, IL) version 26.0.A total of 500 participants with a mean age of 21±31.8 years. Among total participants, 59.6% of students had normal BMI. Regarding physical activity, 58.6% of students had low physical activity and 41% were experiencing moderate levels of PMS severity. Spearman’s ratio was used to determine the relationship between PMS and PA. The study reported a significant correlation (p &#60; 0.05) between behavioural symptoms and physical activity level. There is no significant correlation between overall premenstrual symptoms and physical activity however behavioural symptoms of PMS and PA levels are correlated.

Intervenções leitoras na educação infantil com alunos surdos: um processo de construção a partir da literatura surda e foco nos direitos de aprendizagem da BNCC.
Authors: Gomes Eduardo Andrade , Catão Vinícius 
Published: October 2024

A educação de surdos é parte do processo de escolarização de minorias linguísticas em nosso território. É intenção deste artigo demonstrar como a proposta da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) pode ser articulada aos estudos sobre estratégias didáticas apropriadas à educação de surdos. Entende-se que, para a Educação Infantil, no que tange aos direitos de aprendizagem estabelecidos pela BNCC (conviver, brincar, participar, explorar, expressar e conhecer-se), deve-se prever objetivos cognitivos próprios às crianças surdas, tendo em vista as modalidades de aprendizagem viso-gestual-tátil (LADD; GONÇALVES, 2011), fundantes de propostas pedagógicas surdas. Para ampliar as reflexões sobre o currículo e a educação de surdos, foram consideradas as leituras dos livros: Patinho surdo, de Karnopp e Rosa (2011); Cinderela surda, de Silveira, Karnopp e Rosa (2011) e Aritmética da Emília, de Lobato (1995). Como resultados, percebe-se que as adaptações dos clássicos da literatura infantil para a cultura surda são necessárias, principalmente quando se considera o direito de aprendizagem de conhecer-se. Outros clássicos, como a obra de Lobato, abrem espaço para criação de estratégias didáticas que ampliem a compreensão de conceitos ligados ao campo da Matemática de forma a considerar o que está descrito de forma literária, tais como cenários e situações propostas na trama do texto como base para proposição de atividades em sala de aula, para que as crianças entrem na experiência através de recursos didáticos, tais como a teatralização, compreendendo que os campos de experiências propostos na BNCC indicam caminhos para uma didática baseada na vivência e não apenas na transmissão de conteúdos de forma teórica. Entende-se que as modalidades viso-gestual-tátil devem estar ancoradas no contexto significativo do texto literário, quando a proposta é ampliar a compreensão de conceitos a partir do acesso ao livro de literatura infantil.

Measuring Meaning: Word Meaning and Meaning Change
Authors: Coventry Kenny , Gudde Harmen 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Understanding how people use and understand words, and how what a word is taken to mean changes over time, are fundamental to political, scientific and cultural discourse. Despite decades of theorising about meaning across myriad disciplines, a major impediment to progress has been the lack of a means of measuring meaning on a moment-by-moment basis. Here we present a novel method for measuring meaning over short time scales using spatial language as a critical test case. Across three large-scale between-participant experiments (N = 1,191) we show that people select between a small number of ‘fixed’ meanings on a trial-by-trial basis rather than exhibiting creativity and flexibility in meaning construction. Moreover, what words are taken to mean at a given moment in time is affected by what they have been taken to mean immediately before, even when the situational context of use changes, consistent with dynamic systems approaches to meaning.

Abstract

Background: Burns are extremely destructive injuries to the human body. Once a major burn occurs, it can lead to long-term disabilities, psychological burdens, and significant loss of human resources and economic losses. Extensive burns can cause severe oxidative stress, systemic inflammatory response, and a hypermetabolic state. Besides traditional symptomatic treatment, there is an urgent need for new approaches to address oxidative stress and internal environment disturbance in burn injuries.
Methods: Based on the GEO database and the Limma R package, differential gene expression analysis was performed to identify genes differentially expressed in severe burns and genes associated with oxidative stress. The Gene Ontology (GO) database was used to analyze the cellular functions of these oxidative stress-related genes, and weighted gene co-expression networks analysis (WGCNA) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were then constructed to identify hub genes in the networks. A diagnostic model based on these central genes was established using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analysis and ROC analysis. Immune-related functions were assessed by evaluating the correlation between the expression of hub genes and immune cell infiltration scores. Additionally, drug-gene interaction databases were used to predict target drugs, and miRNet was used to predict the regulation of miRNA and transcription factors.
Results: Through differential analysis, a total of 2,899 differentially expressed genes, 4,936 WGCNA module genes, and 437 oxidative stress-related genes were identified, resulting in 44 candidate genes. Ten hub genes (GCLM, MMP9, BCL2, IL10, SIRT1, NME8, PINK1, GCLC, EPAS1, PARK7) were identified. These central genes were found to be enriched in GO annotations related to “starch and sugar metabolism,” “lysosomes,” and “actin cytoskeleton regulation.” Additionally, it is predicted that 78 drugs can target GCLM, MMP9, BCL2, IL10, SIRT1, NME8, PINK1, GCLC, EPAS1, PARK7, including cisplatin, curcumin, and bevacizumab. A hub gene-miRNA regulatory network with 168 miRNAs and a hub gene-transcription factor (TF) network with 15 TFs were also constructed. These hub genes may serve as biomarkers for the assessment and treatment of oxidative stress in major burns, and provide clues for potential new therapeutic targets.
Conclusion: Based on the common genes associated with major burns and oxidative stress in this study, 10 target genes were proposed. These candidate genes may provide new insights into potential mechanisms for exploring the increased risk of burn severity changes caused by oxidative stress at the transcriptional level.

Abstract

In the realm of global food security, plants serve as the primary source of sustenance. However, plant diseases pose a significant threat to this security. The process of diagnosing these diseases forms the bedrock of disease control efforts. The precision and expediency of these diagnoses wield substantial influence over disease management and the consequent reduction of economic losses. Conversely, incorrect diagnoses can render interventions ineffective, leading to agricultural crop deterioration and compounding economic hardships for both farmers and their respective nations. This research endeavors to diagnose the prevalent crops in Jordan, as identified by the Jordanian Department of Statistics for the year 2019. These crops encompass four key agricultural varieties: cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and cabbage. To facilitate this, a novel dataset known as "Jordan 22" was meticulously curated. Jordan 22 was painstakingly compiled through the collection of images featuring both diseased and healthy plants, captured within the confines of Jordanian farms. These images underwent meticulous classification by a panel of three agricultural specialists, well-versed in plant disease identification and prevention. The Jordan 22 dataset comprises a substantial size, amounting to 3210 images. Following the compilation of this dataset, a series of preprocessing steps were executed. These encompassed the standardization of image backgrounds and the uniformization of image dimensions. Furthermore, image augmentation techniques were applied to the dataset to expand its diversity. Subsequently, a deep learning model, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), was meticulously trained on the augmented dataset. The results yielded by the CNN were nothing short of remarkable, with a test accuracy rate reaching an impressive 0.9712. Optimal performance was observed when images were resized to 256x256 dimensions, and max pooling was employed in lieu of average pooling within the pooling layer. Furthermore, the initial convolutional layer was set at a size of 32, with subsequent convolutional layers standardized at 128 in size. In conclusion, this research represents a pivotal step towards enhancing plant disease diagnosis and, by extension, global food security. Through the creation of the Jordan 22 dataset and the meticulous training of a CNN model, we have achieved substantial accuracy in disease detection, paving the way for more effective disease management strategies in agriculture.
