Late Quaternary Paleoenvironments and Landscape Evolution on the Great Bend Sand Prairie
Authors: Arbogast Alan F. 
Published: January 2025

Global circulation models (GCM's) project enhanced warming and drying in the central Great Plains during the next few decades in response to elevated levels of atmospheric CO2, Given the sensitivity of sand-mantled landscapes to climate changes, paleoenvironmental research has focused on the potential response of sand sheets and dune fields to increased aridity. Although appreciable research has been conducted in Nebraska, Colorado, and Texas, no detailed information has as yet emerged from Kansas.
Geomorphic research on the Great Bend Sand Prairie, a large sand sheet in south-central Kansas, indicates that two late Quaternary stratigraphic units occur in the region. The oldest deposits are late Wisconsinan, and the youngest are Holocene. Late Wisconsinan deposits are widespread, consisting largely of sand and silt (defined herein as silty sand), and probably accumulated in a very low energy fluvial environment. Radiocarbon ages from the lower part of the silty sand range from about 20,000 yr B.P. to around 9,000 yr B.P. At all localities, the silty sand contains one or two extremely well developed buried soils with stacked Bt horizons, indicating long-term landscape stability following deposition. Floral (Picea cf. glauca) and faunal (e.g., Discus cronkhitei) remains, as well as δ13C values (e.g., -25.6‰) derived from the silty sand indicate that the late Wisconsinan climate was cooler and had more effective moisture than the climate during the Holocene. Northwesterly winds prevailed, as indicated by the orientation of Wilson Ridge, a late Wisconsinan lunette.
Overlying the silty sand are eolian sands of varying thicknesses. Radiocarbon ages from the upper 5 cm (2 in) of the underlying silty sand provide an estimate of the maximum-limiting age of dune development. At three sites, ages on the upper silty sand are late Wisconsinan, suggesting that overlying eolian sands accumulated during the Woodfordian. In most instances, however, the upper silty sand dates from 7,000 yr B.P. to 800 yr B.P., indicating that overlying dunes are largely Holocene deposits.
Mapping of Holocene landforms on uplands recognizes six categories, ranging from level sand sheets to parabolic dunes. In comparison to late Wisconsinan deposits, dune sands are well sorted, with a mean particle size of very fine to fine sand. Values of δ13C (e.g., -15.0‰) derived from dunes imply a warmer climate during the Holocene than the Woodfordian. The orientation of parabolic dunes indicates prevailing, southwesterly winds. Dunes usually contain one to two, weakly developed buried soils with A/AC/C horizonation, representing brief periods of landscape stability. Calibrated radiocarbon ages at standard deviation (2σ) on buried soils imply six periods of pedogenesis during the Holocene, with the center of probabilities at ca. 6,300, 2,300, 1,500, 1,000, 700, and 200 yr B.P. Surface soils are generally poorly developed, suggesting that dunes can easily be mobilized if increased aridity occurs.
Paleoecology of the Permian (Wolfcampian) Phylloid Alga Calcipatera from an In Situ Occurrence in Kansas, U.S.A.
Authors: Sawin Robert S. , West Ronald R. 
Published: January 2025

In situ occurrences of the calcareous marine phylloid alga Calcipatera cottonwoodensis in the Permian Cottonwood Limestone Member (Beattie Limestone) occur in Greenwood County, Kansas, in association with platy algal packstones, which are the phylloid algal facies most commonly described in the literature. The in situ algal facies occurs in the upper 0.45 m of an exposure where it is overlain and underlain by algal packstones composed of transported and broken fragments of Calcipatera cottonwoodensis.
Calcipatera cottonwoodensis colonized coarse carbonate sands or carbonate mud substrates. During growth, carbonate mud accumulated in the cup-shaped thalli, and death followed when the rate of sedimentation exceeded the rate of algal growth. The three lithologies--substrate, cup-filling, and smothering--are easily recognized on polished surfaces.
Other members of the Calcipatera cottonwoodensis benthic community are Shamovella, encrusting and boring algae, foraminiferids, fenestrate and ramose bryozoans, brachiopods, bivalves, gastropods, trilobites, ostracodes, and echinoids. This occurrence and biotic association compares well with those described by Toomey (1976) and Wahlman (1988, 2002) from the Permian (Wolfcampian) of West Texas.
Carboniferous-Permian Boundary in Kansas, Midcontinent, U.S.A.

Published: January 2025

The placement of the Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian)-Permian boundary in Kansas has been debated since the rocks of this age were first described and named. With the ratification of the Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the base of the Permian System in the southern Ural Mountains, the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in Kansas can now be confidently defined. Based on the identification of the first occurrence of the conodont Streptognathodus isolatus that definitively correlates the Kansas rock section to the basal Permian GSSP, the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in Kansas can be placed at the base of the Bennett Shale Member of the Red Eagle Limestone.
The Kansas Geological Survey proposes that the Tuttle Creek Lake Spillway section, located in northeast Kansas, be considered for the Carboniferous-Permian boundary stratotype in Kansas. It is further suggested that the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in the Tuttle Creek Lake Spillway section be considered as a potential North American stratotype.
In addition to being a significant biostratigraphic boundary, the Carboniferous-Permian boundary and enclosing strata also have significance because they reflect important geologic events and changes that occurred on a regional and global scale.

Part A: General Sequence Stratigraphy and Conodont Biostratigraphy (including new species) of the Uppermost Carboniferous (upper Gzhelian) to Lower Permian (lower Artinskian) from the North American Midcontinent
Authors: Wardlaw Bruce R. , Boardman Darwin R., II , Nestell Merlynd K. 
Published: January 2025

The uppermost Wabaunsee, Admire, Council Grove, and lower Chase Groups of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska are placed into three third-order depositional sequences: a Gzhelian late-highstand sequence set, a Council Grove transgressive and highstand sequence set, and a Chase transgressive sequence set. Sequences are defined by bounding maximum-exposure surfaces and are placed within the zone of exposure surfaces (typically, stacked paleosols). Conodonts are abundant in open-marine deposits and most marine units have a differing and characteristic faunal make-up. Eleven species are described as new: Streptognathodus binodosus, S. denticulatus, S. elongianus, S. florensis, S. lineatus, S. nevaensis, S. postconstrictus, S. postelongatus, S. robustus, S. translinearis, and S. trimilus.
Patrognathus and Siphonodella (Conodanta) from the Kinderhookian (Lower Mississippian) of Western Kansas and Southwestern Nebraska
Authors: Klapper Gilbert 
Published: January 2025

Late Kinderhookian conodont faunas occur in the subsurface of Kansas and Nebraska. Patrognathus andersoni is a new species that is associated with late Kinderhookian phylogenetic developments of Siphonodella in a well core from Logan County, Kansas, and also 300 feet above the base of the Lodgepole Limestone at Browns Gulch, Montana. Other occurrences of P. andersoni in the subsurface and in the Gilmore City Limestone of Iowa appear to be stratigraphically higher than the Siphonodella succession, but are assumed to be late Kinderhookian in the absence of evidence to the contrary.
Tussen liefhebbers en professionals. Het "groene tijdschrift", 1978-2007
Authors: Vermij Rienk 
Published: January 2025

Gewina, the Dutch society for the history of science and medicine, started a newsletter in 1957. In 1978, this was converted into an official journal, Tijdschrift voor de Geschiedenis der Geneeskunde, Natuurwetenschappen, Wiskunde, en Techniek. Initially it was published by Rodopi in Amsterdam, but in 1992 it went over to Erasmus Publishing in Rotterdam under the new name of Gewina. The journal was to serve both the interests of the members of the society, who were mostly amateurs, especially from the medical profession, and the promotion and professionalization of the history of science and medicine in the academic world. These two objectives appeared hard to reconcile. Because of the increasing application of academic standards, the medical amateurs felt increasingly less at home. On the other hand, developments in scientific publishing and increasing burocratic tendencies at the universities put the right to existence of a Dutch-language journal into question in the academic world as well. In 2007, the society decided to join forces with some other Dutch and Belgian societies. This led to the end of Gewina and the start of the new journal Studium.

Authors: Alwakeel Abdulaziz A , Almutari Talal , Baismail Hattan , Alrashedy Fadyih , Alshehri Abdullah 
Published: January 2025

Introduction:
In 1985 Wiesenfeld et al., suggest the terminology of “Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG)” to explain a chronic granulomatous lesion that involving the orofacial area include the lip, face and oral cavity, the histopathological examination usually associated with noncaseating granulomas and multinucleated Langhans‑type giant cells
Aim of Reporting This Case:
The aim of reportioning this case is highlighting the awareness of orofacial granulomatosis disease after excluding all diseases that has granulomatous lesion
Case presentation:
A 30-year-old male patient was referred to the oral medicine clinic due to swelling of the upper lip and redness of the gingiva. Clinical examination revealed a nodular lesion in the central area of the upper lip with a firm sensation upon palpation. Additionally, there was slight redness in the gingiva. The patient was medically fit, and our clinical differential diagnoses included Crohn’s disease, Wegener's granulomatosis, sarcoidosis, and orofacial granulomatosis.
Lab tests requested for the patient included CBC, ACE, ESR, and CRP. All investigations yielded negative results.The patient was also referred to internal medicine for endoscopy.A biopsy was taken from the inner area of the upper lip under local anesthesia (1.8 mL of lidocaine with epinephrine) and sent for histopathological evaluation. The histopathology report showed non-caseating granulomas, confirming the final diagnosis of orofacial granulomatosis.
Intra-lesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide (40 mg/10 mL) was initiated. At the 2-week follow-up visit, the patient reported softening of the upper lip, though the redness persisted.
Conclusion:
Swelling in the upper lip can have various potential causes, including Crohn’s disease, Wegener’s granulomatosis, sarcoidosis, and orofacial granulomatosis. Greater awareness of the oral manifestations of these conditions is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Ability grouping is a common educational practice which is intended to improve education quality by grouping students together according to their achievements. This research focuses on the attitude and believes of the students and lecturers of English Education Department toward grouping ability in term of confidence, achievement, expectation, competition, cooperation and respect. This is a descriptive qualitative research since it is used to gain an understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations. The respondents of this research were students of academic year 2016, 2017 and 2018 and the lecturers. To collect the data, English proficiency test, questionnaires, and interview were used as the instruments. The findings from questionnaire and interviews mostly shows positive attitudes and believes toward ability grouping both from the students and the lecturers being investigated. There is little issue about respect experienced by some lecturers, yet, it is inconclusive. From the result, it is suggested that lecturers need to adjust materials, select appropriate techniques and methods to suit the students’ characteristics.

Published: January 2025

English is a popular language currently, it is being taught according to the needs of students. . This situation has contributed to the development of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) (Hutchinson & Waters, 1987). Due to the fact that ESP students have underlying conference repertoire, their language skills are affected by them. Among these skills, writing is considered difficult to get success due to the difficulties faced especially by the EFL students in ESP class. This research is formulated to investigate how mind mapping can enhance students’ writing performance in ESP class. This research implements Collaborative Action Research (CAR). It is done in the form of cycles. It also comprises four steps; planning, acting, developing, and reflecting which are adapted from Mertler’s model (2012). Based on the data analyzed, it could be concluded that mind mapping could be implemented to enhance students’ performance in writing procedure text and solve the problem to generate and organize their ideas before writing. it also brought positive attitude in teaching and learning..
SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION BASED ON GRAMMATICAL RULE FOR THE FIRST SEMESTER OF TADRIS BAHASA INGGRIS DEPARTMENT AT STAI MEMPAWAH
Authors: Dofir Dofir 
Published: January 2025

Language acquisition is very similar to the process students use in acquiring first and second languages. It requires meaningful interaction in the target language natural communication--in which speakers are concerned not with the form of their utterances but with the messages they are conveying and understanding. Error correction and explicit teaching of rules are not relevant to language acquisition (Brown, 1970), native speakers can modify their utterances addressed to acquirers to help them understand. Grammatical functions are assigned directly to the underlying representation in a more or less across the board fashion, only taking into consideration the language dependent semantic function hierarchy. This approach bypasses a number of constraints on subject assignment that may be gathered from typological data, and observed from the actual behaviour of speakers. We propose a treatment of Subject assignment on the basis of a combination of semantic factors of the relevant referents and other functional aspects of underlying representations. In Subject (and Object) assignment are now located in the daily diologue, in Mackenzie, J (2004).
MEMBANGUN MOTIVASI BELAJAR SISWA MELALUI PERAN GURU SEBAGAI PENUNTUN DALAM PEMBELAJARAN DARING [BUILDING STUDENT LEARNING MOTIVATION THROUGH THE TEACHER'S ROLE AS A GUIDE IN ONLINE LEARNING]
Authors: Sesfao Vinsen , Prijanto Jossapat 
Published: January 2025

Education underwent a drastic change in the 2020/2021 academic year. The government directs teaching and learning to be conducted through online or distance learning (online). This could affect students' learning motivation in participating in learning. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to describe students' learning motivation in online learning and examine teachers' efforts in building students' learning motivation. The method used is descriptive qualitative and literature review. Christian education recognizes learning motivation as part of God's grace to every student in the process of learning to know God. The results showed that students' learning motivation is still lacking in online learning. Thus, the role of the teacher as a guide is very important in building students' learning motivation. The conclusion indicated some steps in building students' learning motivation. First, teachers need to convey the learning objectives clearly to students. Second, motivate students through delivering enduring understanding. Third, provide feedback to students and the fourth uses the question and answer method. The suggestion from this writing is that teachers should apply these steps by considering students' responses in learning. In addition, teachers can use other methods that can build students' learning motivation, for example the brainstorming method.ABSTRAK BAHASA INDONESIA: Pendidikan mengalami perubahan yang sangat drastis pada tahun ajaran 2020/2021. Pemerintah mengarahkan belajar mengajar dilakukan melalui online atau pembelajaran jarak jauh (daring). Hal ini dapat mempengaruhi motivasi belajar siswa dalam mengikuti pembelajaran. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penulisan ini untuk memaparkan motivasi belajar siswa dalam pembelajaran daring dan mengkaji upaya guru dalam membangun motivasi belajar siswa. Metode yang digunakan, yaitu kualitatif deskriptif dan kajian literatur. Pendidikan Kristen memangdang motivasi belajar sebagai bagian dari anugerah Tuhan kepada setiap siswa dalam proses belajar untuk mengenal Tuhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa motivasi belajar siswa masih kurang dalam pembelajaran daring. Sehingga peran guru sebagai penuntun sangat penting dalam membangun motivasi belajar siswa. Kesimpulan menunjukkan beberapa langkah dalam membangun motivasi belajar siswa. Pertama, guru harus menyampaikan tujuan pembelajaran dengan jelas kepada siswa. Kedua, memotivasi siswa melalui penyampaian enduring understanding. Ketiga, memberikan umpan balik kepada siswa dan yang keempat menggunakan metode tanya jawab. Saran dari penulisan ini guru harus menerapkan langkah-langkah tersebut dengan mempertimbangkan respons siswa dalam belajar. Selain itu, guru bisa menggunakan metode lain yang dapat membangun motivasi belajar siswa, misalnya metode brainstorming.

Published: January 2025

This paper discusses the efforts of a Christian teacher to increase the activeness of students in the classroom in the online learning process. The research was conducted from July to August 2020 with grade 6 elementary school students as research subjects. The purpose of this research is to expose teachers' efforts in improving student activity through Quizizz learning media applications using qualitative descriptive research methods. The results showed a form of inactive behavior of students in the classroom, such as not answering questions given by the teacher, not asking when given the opportunity to ask, and not doing the assignment stipulated by the teacher. To increase student activity, teachers use Quizizz learning media apps at every meeting. The results of Quizizz learning media have succeeded in improving student activity marked by changes in student responses, namely students have initiatives in answering questions given by teachers and asking questions about material that has not been understood in the online learning process. Quizizz's use of learning media needs to take the condition of the internet owned by students and teachers. Teachers also need to provide feedback to students about answers and quiz results.BAHASA INDONESIA: Paper ini membahas upaya guru Kristen dalam meningkatkan keaktifan siswa di dalam kelas pada proses pembelajaran daring.
