Abstract
On 19 March 2021, the Ms 6.1 Biru earthquake occurred in central Tibet. Because of the limited number of stations, researchers have different understandings of the epicenter and the focal mechanism. In addition, when the earthquake occurred in a key location at the intersection of the strike-slip structure and the extensional structure in the Tibetan plateau, no seismogenic fault is associated with this earthquake, according to the known active faults. In this article, the focal mechanism solution, the meizoseismal area, the orientation of the long axis of the isoseismal lines, and the spatial distribution and geometric characteristics of earthquake fissures were obtained based on the Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar coseismic deformation field, inversion of the focal mechanism solution, and field investigation. The macroscopic epicenter was located approximately 13.17 km southeast from the instrumental epicenter, and the earthquake occurred in the seismotectonic background of south–north extrusion, east–west extension, and a mixture of strike-slip and normal faulting. The focal mechanism solution is the normal fault rupture of the northeast-trending main nodal plane. The earthquake caused regularly arranged coseismic ground fissures and damaged a myriad of buildings. The maximum intensity was VIII. The long axis of the isoseismal lines was in the northeast–southwest direction, thus showing a distinct hanging-wall effect. The seismogenic structure was a newly discovered northeast-trending normal fault with a partial sinistral component. The newly discovered seismogenic normal fault, together with the normal faults that have been identified in adjacent areas, is vital to the crustal deformation of the central Tibetan plateau.

The development of the current development paradigm puts the government not only as a single actor but must be able to involve the community and other stakeholders. Collaborative governance can be used as one of the government's options in developing a model of government collaboration with stakeholders. However, the practice is not easy to apply, one of which is developing village garden agrotourism in Tulungrejo Village, Bumiaji District, Batu City. This study aims to identify factors that influence the collaborative governance model and measure the feasibility of the model in the development of Village Garden agrotourism. This research uses quantitative methods with a case study approach. The data were analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM) with the smart partial software tool least square-structural equation model (Smart PLS-SEM). The results showed that five factors affect collaborative governance, and it is known that commitment to process has the most significant real effect that is realized on the dependence between the factors involved and working together to achieve goals. As indicated by the normed fit index, the feasibility of the model is 48%, which is in the medium category. During the agrotourism research process, the Village Garden is still in the development stage and still requires further development. Keywords: Agrotourism, Collaborative governance, Kebun desa

Climate change has a real impact on yields, seasonal shifts, cropping patterns of citrus siam banjar plantations (Citrus suhuensis) on tidal land. This research aims to analyze the relationship of the cropping patterns of surjan systems and climate extremes, as an effort to overcome climate change. The research was conducted in Batola in 2020 using written and oral survey methods. Data was extracted from farmers and related institutions. The respondents consisted of 45 men and 45 women. On each sub-district, 2 villages were surveyed according to tidal land type, namely Marabahan district (SP1 and SP2) type C, Mandastana subdistrict (Karang Indah and Karang Bunga) type B, and Cerbon district (Simpang Nungki and Kambat River) type A. The results showed that the chance of El-Niño was around 16.7-22.7%, while La-Niña reached 40%. The total extreme event was 67.8% of La-Niña side by side with El-Niño 15 times and generally El-Niño precedes La-Niña by about 40%. The total extreme event reached 62.7%. The productivity of citrus observations in 2015-2019 was 1.274 ton/ha and during El-Niño yields decreased by 0.05 ton/ha. Crops damaged by El-Niño in 20152016 were -2% of the area of 6,825.03 ha. More than 90% of farmers during extreme events applied a pattern of superior local-rice oranges-rice to tabukan and oranges-vegetables on mounds. Cropping patterns on tidal tidal land show a high level of resistance to climate change because they have not changed much for decades in both normal, dry, and wet climatic conditions.

Published: April 2022

This research aims to determine if higher education students with certain personality traits are susceptible to specific gamification elements in education like points, levels, rewards, and others. A quantitative survey was carried out with a sample of 382 students from the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Maribor, Slovenia. A 10-term measure of the Five-Factor Model (FFM) called the Ten Item Personality Measure (TIPI) was used. Descriptive statistics were used for analyses of collected data. Based on sample means, t-tests were performed to compare population means for statements of gamification elements between groups. This research's significant findings reveal that students with specific personality traits are more susceptible to particular elements of gamification. For example, students with high expressed extraversion are more susceptible to elements like immediate feedback, verbal praises from the professors, regular progress, teamwork, and constant challenges. The research contributes to a more in-depth understanding of gamification elements and is valuable for practical application.

Characterization and Analysis of the Cedar Pass Landslide Complex, Badlands National Park
Authors: Radach Kyle C. , Santi Paul M. 
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT
The Cedar Pass Landslide Complex is located in Badlands National Park, South Dakota, and has created the need for regular maintenance and repair of Badlands Loop Road (South Dakota State Highway 240), the main highway traversing the park. Although there have been previous studies done in small portions of the complex, there has not been a comprehensive study to evaluate the interactions between smaller landslides and the sensitivity of the landslides within the complex to changing conditions. This study used extensive field mapping and slope stability modeling to delineate the boundaries of landslides within the complex, assess the stability, and investigate the sensitivity to fluctuations in groundwater, reduction in material strength, and erosion within the landslide mass. Results show that highway surface damage in the complex is related to the interaction of movement in both smaller and larger landslides. For instance, damage to the Cliff Shelf parking lot is related to small, destabilized blocks above the head scarp of the larger Prairie Island Landslide located to the southeast. In the Upper and Lower Wedge areas, previously mapped landslides were not confirmed, but highway damage may relate to settlement and erosion of an embankment fill and continued deformation of the massive Cliff Shelf paleo-landslide, which was thought to be dormant until the late 1990s. The overall slow and episodic movement of the landslides observed over the past 30 years may be attributed to dilatant strengthening.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium (CrVI) is known to be a potential hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic contaminant in humans and animals, with toxicity associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential protective effect of chlorogenic acid (CGA), which has known anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, on potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7)-induced acute hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in rats. A total of 36 male Wistar albino rats were separated into 6 groups. The rats were first administered CGA (10, 20, or 40 mg/kg) and 6 hours later a single dose of K2Cr2O7 (15mg/kg) was administtered intraperitoneally. All the rats were sacrificed 24 hours after the final drug administration, then serum, liver and kidney tissues were examined biochemically (MDA, GSH, SOD, CAT, GPx, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6), histopathologically, and immunohistochemically (NFKB, VEGF iNOS, eNOS). The serum GSH level and the liver CAT, TNF-α, and IL-1β levels were determined to be lower in the group given K2Cr2O7 than in the control group, and the kidney GSH and serum IL-6 levels were found to be increased. The application of K2Cr2O7 was determined to have led to histopathological and immunohistochemical changes in rat liver and kidney tissues. With the application of chlorogenic acid, especially at the 10mg/kg dosage, the above-mentioned parameters approached normal levels. It was concluded that oxidative stress and inflammation played a key role in acute hepato and nephrotoxicity caused by K2Cr2O7 and these harmful effects were prevented by chlorogenic acid (especially at the 10mg/kg dosage) suppressing inflammation.

Abstract
Purpose: Despite the increasing incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction, laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with lower esophagectomy (PGLE) is not widely accepted owing to the lack of standardized reconstruction techniques. In this study, we developed a new reconstruction method named y-shaped overlap esophagogastric tube reconstruction, which reproduces an angle of His and a pseudo-fornix, to be used in laparoscopic transhiatal PGLE. This study aimed to determine the feasibility of this novel reconstruction method.Methods: This retrospective study included the analysis of short- and mid-term surgical outcomes of 30 consecutive patients with Siewert type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma who underwent laparoscopic PGLE with y-shaped overlap esophagogastric tube reconstruction from April 2015 to August 2020. A novel method was used to form a 6-cm pseudo-fornix and an angle of His using the distal esophagus and a long gastric tube.Results: The median operation time was 369 min, and the median blood loss was 28 mL. The median follow-up period after surgery was 37 months. Although two patients experienced postoperative anastomotic leakage, none of the patients developed stenosis. One patient experienced moderate reflux symptoms, whereas four patients developed moderate reflux esophagitis based on the 1-year follow-up endoscopic examination; the condition of all patients could be efficiently controlled with medication.Conclusion: The short- and mid-term surgical outcomes of y-shaped overlap esophagogastric tube reconstruction reflected the feasibility of this simple technique and suggested its potential utility as a reconstruction alternative for Siewert type II tumors.

Abstract
Groundwater is the most important natural resource, and many people throughout the world rely on it for drinking, particularly in rural areas. The evaluation of groundwater quality is necessary for the long-term usage of these resources. The purpose of this study is to examine and simulate the groundwater quality status in Bahir Dar in order to determine whether the water is suitable for the designated (drinking) use. During the dry (January, February, and March) and wet (June, July, and August) seasons of 2019, twelve groundwater samples were taken at monthly intervals from open and tube shallow wells for extensive physico-chemical and bacteriological examination. The primary objectives of this study were to (1) analyse an overview of current groundwater quality, (2) to look at the spatial distribution of groundwater quality parameters as pH, turbidity, EC, TDS, chloride (Cl−), nitrate (NO3−), phosphate (PO4− 3), total hardness, and E. coli, and (3) to map the area's groundwater quality map. The groundwater quality parameters were modelled using ArcGIS v10.1 software and the inverse distance weight (IDW) interpolation technique. The final geographic modelling revealed that the city's core area had the poorest groundwater quality. The water quality index (WQI) is a mathematical model that depicts the level of water quality. According to the WQI results, 41.67% of groundwater samples have low groundwater quality, 33.33% of groundwater samples have extremely poor groundwater quality, and 25% of samples are unsafe for drinking. Anthropogenic activities have generally damaged the quality of groundwater in the area, necessitating immediate mitigating actions.

Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant evades vaccine-induced immunity. While a booster dose of ancestral mRNA vaccines effectively elicits neutralizing antibodies against variants, its efficacy against Omicron in older adults, who are at the greatest risk of severe disease, is not fully elucidated. Here, we evaluated multiple longitudinal immunization regimens of mRNA BNT162b2 to assess the effects of a booster dose provided >8 months after the primary immunization series across the murine lifespan, including in extremely aged 21-month-old mice. Boosting dramatically enhanced humoral and cell-mediated responses with evidence of Omicron cross-recognition. Furthermore, while younger mice were protected without a booster dose, boosting provided sterilizing immunity against Omicron-induced lung infection in extremely aged mice. Correlational analyses revealed that neutralizing activity against Omicron was strongly associated with protection. Overall, our findings indicate age dependent vaccine efficacy and demonstrate the potential benefit of mRNA booster immunization to protect vulnerable older populations against SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Authors: Lake Ronald William , Shaeri Saeed , Senevirathna STMLD 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
This study introduces parametric Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) into regional NSW, Australia, for the first time with the intent to assess the impact of climate change through rainfall modelling of publicly available data. The modelling presented the opportunity to investigate improvements to GMDH for rainfall modelling, with an empirical assessment undertaken. State variable distribution, their classification within the context of fuzzy, and the need to integrate Zadeh’s principle of incompatibility into the GMDH modelling format are all assessed. The mathematical foundations of GMDH are discussed within the heuristic framework of data partitioning, partial description synthesis and the limitations of least squares coefficient determination, Gödel’s incompleteness theorem and the necessity for an external criterion in the selection procedure for the Ivakhnenko polynomial. Methods for modelling improvement include the potential for hybridisation with least square support vector machines (LSSVM), the application of Kalman filters for parameter estimation, and the combination with signal processing techniques; ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), wavelet transformation (WT), and wavelet packet transformation (WPT) being investigated as is the implementation of enhanced GMDH (eGMDH) and fuzzy GMDH (FGMDH). The inclusion of exogeneous data is also discussed and whether application presents within the GMDH modelling paradigm. The study concludes with recommendations made to enhance the potential for future rainfall modelling study success.

Abstract
The investigation and exploration of factors influencing the acceptance of mobile money transaction services in Ghana. The research proposes an integration of construct used in both Diffusion Theory (DT) as well as Technology Acceptable Model (TAM). The research was conducted on 2,298 mobile money users spread across Ghana’s sixteen (16) regions. According to the study, perceived risk perceived cost, and social influence all had repercussions on perceived usefulness and ease of use, which influenced users' final decision to use mobile money banking services, resulting in its exponential growth in Ghana. The factor of compatibility, observability and trialability of DT were suitable variables in determining users' choice of technology and the adoption of its services. The results indicated that utilising the technology model, TAM and DT could be expanded to understand better the mobile money ecology for both users and industry players in Ghana's digital money transaction services.

Abstract
The presented study proposes a new potential biosorbent- Thymus serpyllum L. (wild thyme) plant, which showed to be highly efficient in rapid adsorption of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions with higher adsorption capacity towards Pb(II) ions. Apart from biochars, that are commonly used for adsorption, here we report the direct use of native plant. The influence of different parameters (pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage) on the adsorption process as well as the adsorption in a binary system of selected metal contaminants was examined. The highest adsorption capacity for Cu(II) ions (qe = 12.66 mg g− 1) was achieved after 10 minutes of adsorption at 16 g L− 1 adsorbent dosage at natural pH. The highest obtained adsorption capacity for Pb(II) ions was 53.13 mg g− 1 after 30 minutes at 12 g L− 1 adsorbent dosage at unadjusted pH. The combination of characterization methods (SEM/EDX, TGA, FT-IR, XPS and ζ-potential measurements) were applied to estimate the removal mechanism during the adsorption of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions on the plant biosorbent surface. The characteristic shifts were observed in the thermogravimetric curves and FT-IR spectra and together with the changes of pH during adsorption process confirmed the combined adsorption mechanism consisting of the ion exchange at the lower Cu(II) and Pb(II) concentrations and the complexation and chelation at higher contaminants’ concentrations.
