Abstract
Controversy exists regarding the timing of emplacement of oil in the giant Athabasca and Peace River oil sands. Bitumen-cemented sandstones are present in the late Albian Paddy Member of the Peace River Formation; some cemented sandstones formed burrowed firmgrounds and reworked intraclasts, showing that oil was reaching surface by about 101–102 Ma. Estuarine and shallow-marine sandstones of the Paddy Member are exposed on the Peace and Heart rivers in the vicinity of the town of Peace River. Bitumen-cemented sandstone occurs in four stratigraphic settings: 1) An in-situ cement forms locally bedding-transgressive, sheet-like masses in cross-bedded estuarine sandstone; 2) A bitumen-cemented and heavily burrowed layer, 30–60 cm thick, lies immediately beneath a marine transgressive surface and shows that oil infiltrated downward into, and cemented, the upper surface of a shoreface sandbody. The firm sand was subsequently exhumed by transgressive erosion, fractured and burrowed by arthropods; 3) Rounded pebble- to cobble-sized clasts of bitumen-cemented sand lie on the floor of a tidal channel, and the channel floor surface is also stained and burrowed. This case suggests floating oil infiltrated the channel floor at low tide, subsequently hardening prior to erosion and burrowing; 4) Rounded cobble-to boulder-size clasts of bitumen-cemented sandstone, up to 1 m wide and 0.5 m thick, lie on a regional marine ravinement surface cut on the uppermost Paddy shoreface sandstone. The sand was permeated with oil, top-down, then oxidized to form a tough bitumen cement. The bituminous sand was subsequently scoured by waves during marine transgression to form a boulder lag that is enclosed in transgressive marine claystone. All four of these examples show that oil was reaching the Earth’s surface during Paddy time where it infiltrated porous sands to a depth of several decimetres, subsequently degrading and oxidizing to form a tough ‘asphalt pavement’ that attracted a burrowing firmground fauna and was eroded into cohesive intraclasts weighing many tens of kilograms. Pyrolysis proved the bitumen cement to be degraded oil, but it was not possible to identify the source-rock using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The Paddy ‘asphalt pavements’ are comparable to cements that form in beach sediments in the wake of catastrophic spills from tanker groundings. A direct analogue is provided by Eocene estuarine sediments in Dorset, U.K. There, bitumen-cemented estuarine sands also formed firmgrounds and intraclasts on channel-floor and marine transgressive surfaces.

ABSTRACT
Background : Pregnancy health service programs can be monitored through antenatal care examinations in accordance with service standards, namely a minimum of 6 examinations during pregnancy and a minimum of 2 examinations by a doctor in the first and third trimesters, one of which is an ultrasound examination, as well as 1 midwife examination in the first trimester, 1 time in the second trimester and twice in the third trimester. ANC examinations must be carried out periodically to see progress and identify risk factors in pregnant women early so that pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum can be carried out well. However, in reality, not all pregnant women make ANC visits due to mothers' lack of knowledge about the importance of ANC examinations. The aim is to identify the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women towards the use of ultrasound (USG) in antenatal care (ANC) examinations in Waung Village, Boyolangu District, Tulungagung Regency..
Method : The design uses descriptive. The population of all pregnant women acceptors was 40. Based on purposive sampling, the sample size was 36 respondents. The research was conducted from 26 December 2022 to 21 January 2023 in Waung village, Tulungagung Regency.
Results : it was obtained from 36 respondents that the majority of respondents (64%) or 23 respondents had sufficient knowledge and a small part of respondents (8%) or 3 respondents had insufficient knowledge. And most of the respondents (56%) or 20 respondents had a positive attitude about the use of ultrasound (USG) in antenatal care (ANC) examinations and almost half of the respondents (44%) or 16 respondents had a negative attitude about the use of ultrasound (USG). at antenatal care (ANC) screeningEnglish literacy were statistically significant (p < 0.001). It was also found that the group of students using English literacy increased student research development with an effect value (ES = 7.60) compared to the group of students who did not use English literacy.
Conclution : it was concluded that respondents with fairly good knowledge would produce or be able to respond positively to problems regarding the use of ultrasound (USG) in antenatal care (ANC) examinations, and vice versa if respondents with insufficient knowledge would respond to these problems unfavorably or negatively.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Species of lactobacilli are responsible for the consistency and soluble white colouration of palm wine through the production of gum. Phenotypic and physiological characteristics as basis for identification of lactobacilli is often with low level of discrimination.
Objection: This study aimed at comparative identification approach of gum-producing lactobacilli using amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) and API kit 50 CHL.
Methodology: Four hundred colonies of lactobacilli isolated from seventy-two fresh palm wine samples and two hundred were used for genomic DNA extraction, 16S rDNA analysis and digestion of amplicons with two endonucleases: Hae III and Bash 12361.
Results: Twenty ARDRA pattern group were generated and representatives of each were randomly chosen for sequence and API kit analysis. The size of the amplified products (̴ 1500 bp), digested amplicons (100 - 1000 bp) and the ARDRA profiles; A-T. ARDRA screening revealed unique patterns among the two hundred isolates, with the same pattern for some of the isolates. The 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolates were divide into 20 groups of three genera: Lactobacillus (65%), Leuconostoc (30%), and Lactococcus (5%) whereas API kit identified two genera; Lactobacillus (75%) and Leuconostoc (25%). Gene sequence similarity of all the representative isolate for 16S rDNA (99 - 100%) while API kit (74.8 – 99.9%) with 55% overall similarity in bacterial identified. ARDRA showed higher similarities in identification and discrimination of bacterial species or between closely related groups isolated from palm wine compared to API kit.
Conclusion: ARDRA is a good tool for lactobacilli identification based on the results from this study.

The Study of Yi Minority Language in Mengzi from the Perspective of Eco-Linguistics
Authors: Yu JianBin , Ng Boon Sim 
Published: November 2023

The Yi language is a unique language spoken by the Yi minority in China. Despite Mengzi City having one of the largest Yi populations in Yunnan Province, there are very few studies about the Yi language from an ecolinguistics perspective in this region. The primary aim of this study is to investigate language competence, language use, and language attitudes among young people aged 14-28 from Mengzi. Fieldwork research was conducted to collect data, which involved administering a series of questionnaires, interviews, and observations with a group of 104 Yi teenagers. Research findings highlighted that the language ecology in the Mengzi region is changing, with the original mother tongue-dominant type gradually shifting toward a Chinese-dominant type. Although 58.6% of participants claimed fluency or semi-fluency in the Yi language, only 18.8% of them could read and write Yi characters. Due to its inferior status in modern society, the use of the Yi language was limited to family and religious domains. Furthermore, although participants showed a positive inclination toward the Yi language, they held a higher regard for the status and function of Chinese (Mandarin). In conclusion, external forces motivating young speakers to shift from their native language to Mandarin encompass social and economic advancement, as well as national language policies. The significance of the study lies in documenting Yi’s mother tongue and its role in raising awareness about the preservation of endangered languages in China.

Renewable Energy Integration on a High Inflation Economic Scenario by Means of Firework Algorithm, Genetic Algorithm and Monte Carlo Simulation
Authors: Ramos Nicolas Lopez , Hoti Altin , Toma Takeaki 
Published: November 2023

This paper presents a solution to the Renewable Energy Integration Problem (REIP) by finding the Optimal Configuration of components required in a hybrid microgrid located in Kuwait, such that the cost of energy (COE) is minimized when considering several components such as: solar panels, wind turbines, electric batteries, converters, inverters, diesel generators and connection to the power grid. The optimal configuration is found by evaluating the interaction and effects of several combinations of components via Monte-Carlo simulation, and such configurations are in turn optimized by means of 2 alternative stochastic algorithms: The Genetic Algorithm and the Fireworks Algorithm. The two approaches are compared, concluding that the Fireworks Algorithm provides more variety of configurations along the iterations before reaching convergence. The evaluation by Monte-Carlo simulation is calculated, by means of Present Worth (PW) with a minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) set to 7 percent to represent a high inflation rate-scenario, concluding that both methods can be safely used to optimize the design of hybrid micro-grids under high economical stress.

Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the history and formation of the agrarian economy of Kazakhstan. In addition, the historical and economic assessment of the situation of modern scientific study of the agricultural sector is given. Elements of the formation of the agrarian economy of Kazakhstan date back to the XIX century. During this period, the land of Kazakhstan existed as part of the Russian Empire. The administration of the Russian Empire carried out administrative and territorial reforms on the use of the lands of Kazakhstan for agricultural purposes. Based on this, settled and nomadic types of farms were formed in Kazakhstan. Until the 1920s, the dominance of animal husbandry was formed in the agrarian system. The establishment of the Soviet government in Kazakhstan radically changed the basic principles of the agrarian economy. The Soviet Union made great efforts to develop land farming instead of animal husbandry in the agricultural sector. To this end, various experimental agricultural reforms of the Soviets were carried out in Kazakhstan. In the 1960s and 1970s, the course of development of the agrarian economy of Kazakhstan stabilized. The main agricultural economy of the modern Republic of Kazakhstan is based on the production of agricultural and horticultural products. As part of this, state scientific grant projects have been organized for the development and study of this industry. In a modern market society with great competition, the study and improvement of the state of the agricultural sector is a priority for the state.

The Cross-Cultural Adaptation of Tertiary International Students in South Korea
Authors: Dahee Jung Christina 
Published: November 2023

South Korea’s demographic problem has spurred Korean universities to expand their outreach and increase their stake in global student mobility. The desire for global expansion and diversity in Korean higher education clashes with the sensibilities of a nation lacking a multicultural tradition. This study documents this conflict of competing interests by narrating the cross-cultural adaptation experiences of 14 international students at a private tertiary institution in South Korea. Within the framework of cross-cultural adaptation theory, the researcher utilized questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and a focus group to better understand how international students are affected by their encounters with Korean society. From the qualitative analysis, the key themes of cultural affinity, language fluency necessity, and implicit discrimination were found to impact an individual’s cross-cultural adaptation. The results demonstrate that students' perceptions of Korea and their experiences constitute a feedback loop: either a positive cycle of adaptation stemming from a high interest in host language and culture that manifests into a higher student-perceived satisfactory experience in the host country or a negative cycle of dissatisfaction and rejection of the host society and culture.

Sufism: Interfaith Coexistence or Poisoned Gift? A Case Study of Elif Shafak`s Forty Rules of Love and Mohammed Alwan`s A Small Death
Authors: Alqahtani Norah Hasan 
Published: November 2023

In Alwan’s A Small Death “Mouton Sageer” (Alwan, 2016) and Shafak’s Forty Rules of Love (2010), Sufism was promoted in as in many literary works because they believed Sufism is the remedy to oppose today's religious bigotry in essence that it called for universal spirituality, equality, love and coexistence among humanity across cultures and religions. This paper investigates the writings and debates of both authors on Sufism from two viewpoints on some of the most critical socio-political issues related to peaceful coexistence and women's empowerment since securing women's rights in society is the keystone of the quest for coexistence and social justice.

Published: November 2023

Higher education is required to regulate the dynamics of society as it develops. Pesantren-based higher education is present in responding to the challenges of the community to provide access to integrated education in providing academic and spiritual understanding at the same time. This study aims to see the management of Islamic higher education based on pesantren at the Al-Qodiri Islamic Institute Jember and the Syarifuddin Lumajang Islamic Institute, East Java, Indonesia. This research has relevance to examine and see how pesantren-based religious universities can manage universities that are faced with global progress, both in academics, management, and so on. A phenomenological qualitative research approach with a multi-site design is used. Data was collected through interviews with university leaders and various relevant literature. Data collected and declared credible is then analyzed interactively, starting from data collection, reduction, display, and conclusion data. The results of this study show that the management of Islamic religious universities based on pesantren runs with a well-organized system and control. Both carry out the managerial system autonomously and are not shackled by the power of Islamic boarding school caregivers and Foundation administrators. This means if universities are based on autonomous pesantren in their management, then they can overcome the challenges of globalization, and vice versa.

The development of a strong character should be rooted in a high-quality educational process that incorporates the practical application of educational values within the learning. However, the educational potential embedded within Indonesian local culture has yet to be fully harnessed due to a dearth of understanding regarding the effective integration of cultural elements into the pedagogical framework. The current study utilized a concurrent embedded strategy to investigate the educational values contained in three local cultures Indonesia. The primary objective of this research was to examine how these values can serve as a fundamental basis for developing university students’ character. This study also attempted to elucidate university students’ and lecturers’ comprehension of cultural elements. The primary data of this research pertained to the educational values embedded within three distinct cultural systems found in three Indonesian provinces. These data were acquired via interviews, observation, and documentation, and subsequently subjected to data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Meanwhile, the secondary data were gathered via a survey to ascertain lecturers’ and students’ comprehension of the pedagogical significance of local culture. The current research unveiled that, spiritual educational values, honesty, courage and work ethic, as well as collaboration are the main values used in forming other derived characters in the culture of Siri', Randai, and Kemidi Rudat. The survey results indicated a deficiency in the students’ and lecturers’ comprehension of the educational principles embedded within the three cultural systems.
