Noise masking of near-surface scattering (heterogeneities) on subsurface seismic reflectivity
Authors: Harbi Hussein M. , Atef Ali H. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Near-surface velocity variations are the main cause of seismic scattering in exploration seismology. Many studies create the near-surface heterogeneity as velocity models that have random velocity distribution, random objects, or irregular subsurface topography to study and mitigate the resultant scattering effects of the near-surface layer. Von Kármán (self-similar) method is a known method in the literatures for modeling heterogeneous earth in a statistical way. This research modifies the self-similar method, and throughout the work, it has proven that the self-similar provides a robust method for generating realistic near-surface velocity models with different spatial velocity distributions. This study creates four-velocity models with simple subsurface layering and structure, three of which include a near-surface layer in three different degrees of velocity heterogeneity. Synthetic acoustic seismic reflections are produced for the four-velocity models to investigate the resultant scattering effects of the near-surface velocity heterogeneity on the quality of seismic waveform coherency. Spectacular negative observations are witnessed of the near-surface layer involvement to the quality of seismic reflection coherency that increases as velocity dramatically varies. Subtracting the scattering noise, which is modeled using an exact heterogeneous model, enhances seismic reflection coherency for the subsurface layers, but waveforms that are affected by scattering must be reconstructed for true amplitude and seismic waveform analysis.

AbstractThis paper examines the relationship between language, (in)visibility, and (im)mobility in racialized spaces, focusing on Finnish, Somali, and Arabic speakers in Sweden. Using a theoretical framework based on hegemonic whiteness and intersectionality, the study explores how multilingual practices and subjectivities intersect with race, religion, gender, and class to shape social visibility and mobility. The research draws on linguistic ethnographic data, including interviews, linguistic landscape documentation, and an analysis of the media discourse. The study finds that while Finnish speakers have become invisible due to assimilation policies, Somali and Arabic speakers are hypervisible in Swedish public spaces and discourse, although Arabic speakers are sometimes, and in relation to other migrants, nearing Swedish whiteness. However, all three languages and their speakers are constrained by a white normativity that reproduces inequality. The paper challenges simplistic notions of mobility/immobility and visibility/invisibility in the context of a changing racial order in Sweden, where whiteness serves as a binary sorting mechanism that perpetuates inequality. Overall, this research sheds light on the complex entanglement of language, visibility, and mobility in white spaces and contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the intersectional dynamics of race and language.
Die Börse und das Wettbüro: Differenz und Konvergenz im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert
Authors: Engel Alexander 
Published: December 2023

Zusammenfassung
Onlinebörsen für Sportwetten verbinden auf den ersten Blick ganz getrennte Sphären: das Freizeitvergnügen von Sportkonsum und Glücksspiel mit der ernsten, angestrengten Ökonomie der Börse. Diese konzeptuelle Differenzierung ist ein Produkt des 19. Jahrhunderts, und durchaus fragil: geht es doch in beiden Bereichen gleichermaßen darum, Wetten abzuschließen. Die Verfahren und die Organisation der Wetten aber waren lange Zeit spezifisch für beide Sphären. Indem diese aus ihren Ursprungskontexten zunehmend entbettet und übertragbar werden, gerade auch im Zuge der Digitalisierung, tritt zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts immer klarer der identische formallogische Kern beider Welten zutage: die Verabredung von Zahlungsströmen in kompetitiver Referenz auf künftige Zustände eines Systems, d.h. die Vermarktlichung formalisierter, zu prognostizierender Zukunft.

The ultimate aim of periodontal therapy is regeneration. Traditionally, many techniques and agents were used. The therapeutic outcome in treatment of intra bony defects can be augmented with the use of growth factors alongside bone grafts. The present clinical trial was designed to assess the efficacy of an alloplastic composite graft and the combination of autologous platelet rich fibrin with the graft in the management of intra bony defects. A total of 45 systemically healthy patients with intra bony defects indicated for flap surgery were selected from the outpatient department of periodontics. The patients were divided into three groups with the help of a computer generated random number table. Age, sex, and periodontal parameters (probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, gingival marginal level, plaque index, modified sulcus bleeding index) and presence of intra bony defects were recorded. The defects in group I patients were treated with autologous PRF along with the graft, group II with graft, and group III with open flap debridement alone. All the patients were recalled at 3, 6, 9 months after surgery, and the periodontal parameters were recorded in each recall. The baseline parameters were compared with 9 month post op periodontal parameters by non parametric test for ANOVA (Kruskal Wallis). Maximum pocket depth reduction (5.86±1.03) maximum gain in attachment (4.64± 1.08), reduction in modified sulcus bleeding index were seen in group I, which is statistically significant between the groups. Though change in gingival marginal level is minimum for group I (1.21± 0.42), it was not statistically significant. Group I showed the maximum percentage of sites with bone fill (92.9%) which was also statistically significant when analyzed by the chi-square test. The Combination of autologous PRF with the hydroxy apatite bioglass graft in the management of intra bony defects showed improved clinical and radiographic outcome.
Management of major recurrent aphthous ulcers with 5% amlexanox oral paste and rebamipide tablets- A case report with a brief literature review
Authors: Hasan Shamimul , Mohd. Faisal Siddique  
Published: December 2023

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common chronic inflammatory oral mucosal disorder marked by the presence of painful, recurring ulcers, occurring either as solitary lesions or in multiple clusters. While the clinical features of this condition are easily recognizable, the precise etiology remains obscure. The disorder manifests in three forms, of which minor RAS are the commonest and heal within 10-14 days. Major RAS presents as larger, painful chronic ulcerations and heals with scarring in 6-8 weeks. A comprehensive medical history and a thorough systemic examination can aid the physician in determining whether the condition is idiopathic or linked to a underlying systemic disorder. The management of oral aphthous ulcers poses a significant challenge and there is no established and defined therapeutic regimen available for RAS. We present a case of major RAS in a 37-year-old patient who was unresponsive to topical and systemic steroid therapy. 5% Amlexenox paste and rebamipide tablets were used in the present case. The patient showed favourable healing within a week therapy with no recurrences during the 6-month follow up.

Managing Diversity and Inclusion in Nursing Homes: Practices and Regulations
Authors: Lindheim Tone 
Published: December 2023

Changing demographics and a rising number of immigrants entering the labor market have posed new challenges to managers in work organizations.Within this context, Norway has been noted to have a highly regulated work sector that is considered beneficial for minorities and marginalized groups. Through a case study of three nursing homes in Norway, this paper analyzes how managers engage with diversity-related regulations when addressing their everyday challenges, and how their enacted practices affect the inclusion of immigrants in the workplace. The study applies a practice-theoretical approach and contributes to diversity management research by identifying how managers’ differing enactments of inclusion-related practices are connected to competing institutional logics. The analysis shows how the co-existence of multiple institutional logics in this context represents an arena for political struggle.

Ketoprofen is a medicinal compound derivative of phenyl alkanoic acid that works as an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic. In the Biopharmaceutical Classification Systems, ketoprofen is a class II drug with high permeability but low solubility. Due to its low solubility, the absorption and bioavailability of ketoprofen are very limited, which can affect its therapeutic effectiveness. This study aimed to increase ketoprofen's solubility by forming multicomponent solids using 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid coformer with adding hydrophilic polymers ((hydroxypropyl)methylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone K90, and polyethylene glycol 4000). The results showed that ketoprofen with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid coformer prepared using the solvent evaporation method formed a eutectic mixture. Adding hydrophilic polymers to the ketoprofen - 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid multicomponent solid increased the crystallinity and decreased the melting point of the multicomponent solids. The multicomponent solids of ketoprofen - 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid with the addition of hydrophilic polymers had solubility and dissolution efficiency significantly higher (p<0.05) than the ketoprofen - 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid multicomponent solids without hydrophilic polymers.

Published: December 2023

This research studied kinetics of thermal degradation of polystyrene (PS), and sulfonated polustyrene (sPS) which were synthesized from styrofoam waste. The thermal study was conducted by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at various heating rate of 10, 15, 20 and 25 dpm. The kinetics parameters were determined by Coats Redfern (CR), Friedman (FM), Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) and Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) models. TGA result found that PS has range thermal stability of 274 – 415 oC, but sPS has range thermal stability of 175 – 582 oC. Kinetic study to PS shows that the activation energy increases by the increasing of fraction conversion for all kinetics parameters with a regression value close to 1. While in sPS, the CR method shows an increase in activation energy value with an increasing fraction convertion. On the other hand, CR-FM-KAS and OFM methods obtained an increase in activation energy, then decreased at the fraction convertion above 0.6, and received negative activation energy. The kinetics model successfully explains the degradation of PS and sPS. In addition, the high thermal stability of sPS from styrofoam waste shows that this material has good potential as polymer electrolyte materials.

<p>Protein with high purity is currently a valuable commercial commodity, prized for its high value and application in specialized functions. PVDF-based membrane technology has found widespread use in protein purification processes. However, the issue of fouling on the membrane surface frequently hampers the performance of PVDF membranes. The present study aims to enhance PVDF membranes' selectivity and antifouling properties through chitosan modification, thereby optimizing protein filtration. PVDF and PVDF/Chitosan membranes were fabricated using the phase inversion technique, followed by a comprehensive characterization of their surface properties, thermal attributes, and performance in bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein filtration. The collected data revealed notable increases in membrane hydrophilicity, porosity, and pure water flux due to the incorporation of chitosan. The membrane protein rejection capabilities were significantly enhanced to levels exceeding 90% with the introduction of 0.5% chitosan. Moreover, as the chitosan concentration increased, the membrane exhibited superior antifouling characteristics, with the 0.5% chitosan concentration yielding the highest Flux Recovery Ratio (FRR) value of 85.35%. Considering the significant improvement selectivity and antifouling properties in the combined system, the chitosan-modified PVDF membrane holds substantial promise in protein purification applications.</p><p> </p><p><img src="/public/site/images/fitria/rsz_72110.png" alt="" /></p>
Effects of microplastics on the porosity and connectivity with different soil textures: Based on CT scanning

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Microplastics-contaminated soils exhibit disordered pore architecture. However, research on soil pores' morphological features and connectivity under microplastics endowment needs to be more extensive. This research used computed tomography and three-dimensional visualization tools to quantitatively analyze the micropore structure of sandy soils, sandy loam, and loamy soils after microplastics endowment, and we also built a pore network model. The findings revealed that microplastics deposition considerably altered the spatial structure of the pores and reduced soil porosity. The effects of microplastics accumulation on soil pore morphology and connectivity varied greatly between soil textures, with connected pores in sandy soils and sandy loams partially or completely disappearing and connected pores in loamy soils changing from a complex spatial structure to a monolayer sheet. Furthermore, as the abundance of microplastics increases, the soil pore network model becomes more straightforward, and the Euler number and tortuosity increase, which leads to the hydraulic conductivity declines. Finally, the microplastics endowment caused significant damage to the soil's connectivity and reduced its infiltration ability.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the cardioprotective effects of Munziq on abnormal body fluid myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) and its underlying mechanism.
Methods: Normal rats and abnormal body fluid rats were pre-treated with Munziq, and MIRI models were established. Histopathological changes and myocardial ultrastructure changes were observed by HE staining and transmission electron microscopy. Serum CK-MB, cTn-T, ICAM-1 levels were detected by ELISA. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum and myocardial tissue were detected to observe the anti-inflammatory effect. The expression levels of NF-κB signaling pathway proteins NIK, IKKα, Pikα, and p65 were detected by western blot analysis.
Results:
Our results showed that myocardial injury in the ABF MIRI group was more severe compared to control MIRI group. Munziq pretreatment has the potential to mitigate the pathological changes induced by ischemia reperfusion injury and could protective Cardiac Function. protein levels of NF-κB pathway and down-stream effectors IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, were significantly up-regulated in MIRI group while down-regulated in Munziq group. Interestingly, there was more activation of the NFKB signaling pathway in the ABF MIRI group and higher levels of downstream inflammatory cytokines.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that MIRI was more serious in ABF. Munziq has cardioprotective effects in ischemia and reperfusion injury in both. This protective effect may be acted through suppressing the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes), widely distributed in Northern hemisphere, is a natural reservoir for multiple pathogens. However, vector-borne pathogens of red foxes are relatively rare article in China. To date, no reports of Bartonellaand Hepatozoon in red foxes in China. Bartonella rochalimae and Hepatozoon canis are vector-borne pathogens that can cause severe diseases in domestic animals and wildlife. During 2018-2022, 16 red foxes were sampled in two counties and a city of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR), in northwest China. The organs of these 16 foxes were dissected, followed by DNA extraction, amplified by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In the present study, based on BLASTn and phylogenetic tree analysis, B. rochalimae and H. canis were molecularly found in an individual sample, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first report on the existence of B. rochalimaeand H. canis in red fox in China.
