A grading method for analyzing internal erosion processes of nano-silica improved sand
Authors: Cheng Mayao , Zeng Yang , Chen Linsheng , Yang Hong 
Published: November 2022

Internal erosion (IE) often occurs in poor graded sand, one of the traditional treatments is reducing the permeability by grouting. Today, nano-silica becomes a choice of grouting materials as its low viscosity and good penetration capacity. According to present literature, the effect of decreasing loss mass during IE after the improvement of nano-silica was rarely studied. One of the important reasons is that, mass loss during IE was previously focused and was weighed after filtering the effluent by electronic balance, more accurate weighing method should be studied after adding nano-silica which cannot be precisely weighed by electronic balance. In this paper, a new grading method is conducted to monitoring the particle size distribution in the effluent and illustrate the process of IE. Erosion time and permeability are also recorded and analyzed as comparison. The experimental results show that the grading method can monitor precisely the mass loss and the composition of the effluent, grading range of 1-1000 can be adopted to monitor the coagulation of silica gel particles (1-50 , average diameter 11±5 ) and fine sand particles (50-100 , average diameter 65±7 ), grading range of 1-1000 can be adopted to monitor the smaller coagulation of silica gel particles (concentrated in the range of 1-250 nm). Through grading method, the IE of nano-silica improved sand can be divided into three stages: Removal and release of unbonded nano-silica particles and unbonded fine particles; Movement and discharge of bonded particles; Expansion of pores and instability of the whole sample skeleton.

. The group invertibility of a matrix is one of the fundamental concepts in the theory of generalized inverses, while group inverses of matrices have many essential applications in matrix theory and other disciplines. The purpose of this article is to reconsider the characterization problem of the group invertibility of a matrix, as well as the constructions of various algebraic equalities in relation to group invertible matrices. The coverage includes collecting and establishing a family of existing and new necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix to be group invertible and giving many algebraic matrix equalities that involve Moore-Penrose inverses and group inverses of matrices through the skillful use of a series of highly selective formulas and facts about ranks, ranges, and generalized inverses of matrices, as well as block matrix operations.
Vacuum instruments and securing the performance interest

Abstract
The question as to whether the buyer of immovable property should still be able to receive the ownership of the property in case the seller goes bankrupt prior to conveyance, has sparked academic debate in many jurisdictions. In the context of immovable property, many scholars feel it is justified to provide additional protective measures in favour of the buyer and hence provide buyers with some sort of proprietary interest, prior to conveyance. But exactly which circumstances justify these protective measures under current law? And what is the most desirable way to protect the buyer in terms of scope of application and effect? This article will answer these questions on the basis of a newly-developed theoretical framework.
The Country Wife, Southall Style: Restoration Comedy and the Multicultural Gaze
Authors: Soncini Sara 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
First performed at Watford Palace Theatre in 2004, Tanika Gupta’s version of William Wycherley’s The Country Wife (1675) relocates the Restoration classic to twenty-first-century London, reframing its libertine plot as a witty satire on sexual and gender mores in contemporary Britain. In this new setting, Wycherley’s comic masterpiece is revisited from a multicultural perspective, and his merciless exposure of social hypocrisies becomes infused with the adaptor’s keen awareness of diversity and its complexities. This article draws attention to Gupta’s play as a culturally significant intervention in the reception history of Restoration theatre culture. By opening up Wycherley’s comedy to the representation of Britain’s “new ethnicities,” I suggest, Gupta’s work has paved the way for the more inclusive, multiculturally conscious approach to the Restoration canon that is observable in the new spate of revivals and adaptations produced during the last decade or so.
Integrative medicine approaches to chronic depression: case studies of the recovery process with a three-step path to recovery and significant cure
Authors: Itamura Ronko 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Objectives
The support provided by conventional treatments centered on the administration of medication for chronic or other types of depression is limited. Integrative medicine, which is based on both modern Western medicine and a range of complementary and alternative medicine practices, is patient-centered and promotes natural healing in patients to achieve significant cure. This report focuses on the indications of recovery from depression using integrative medicine, especially homeopathy.

Methods
Thirty-one patients (9 males and 22 females) with depression underwent homeopathic treatment using various strategies over 3 months, in addition to antidepressants. All patients were diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorders, except bipolar disorders. Three steps were used to model indications of their recovery from depression: reducing difficulties in everyday life, reducing and stopping antidepressants, and reducing and stopping the homeopathic remedies. Patients were considered to have recovered when antidepressants had been stopped for 6 months or more and 3 or more months had passed since homeopathic medicines were stopped.

Results
Of the 31 patients with depression, 13 recovered within 2 years of starting homeopathic treatment, and 11 completely recovered from chronic depression.

Conclusions
This study suggests that integrative medicine can be a useful strategy for depression, including the use of a three-step strategy for reducing all dependence on clinical treatment. As most patients, especially chronic patients, significantly recovered from depression through homeopathy over 2 years, this model can help understand recovery from depression through integrative medicine.
Modification and context
Authors: Velasco Daniel García 
Published: November 2022

AbstractFunctional Discourse Grammar (FDG) assumes a strict separation between representational and interpersonal meaning, which are captured in independent levels within the grammar, and utterance meaning, which arises in contexts of language use. This article argues that this division of labour is problematic for the treatment of modifiers in the noun phrase (non-subsective adjectives in particular), which induce semantic changes in the designation of the noun they modify. It is further claimed that the view of semantics in the model should pivot around a weak interpretation of the notion of compositionality, which allows the modulation of linguistic meaning in context in the dynamic construction of term structures. This is shown to be compatible with the basic tenets of functional linguistics that FDG endorses and very much in line with the contextualist tradition that treats linguistic expressions as propositionally underspecified units which can be truth-conditionally enriched in actual use. The article shows that only minor modifications are necessary in the model, which basically amount to increasing the functional role of the Contextualizer.

Questions: What is the ethnobotanical usage culture of geophytes in Sakarya province?
Studied species: Geophytes.
Study site and dates: Sakarya, Turkey; 2017 to 2020.
Methods: Information in the local community was obtained through face to face or collective interviews. In addition, cultural importance index (CII) and the informant consensus factor (ICF) values were calculated.
Results: In this study, the knowledge of the local public about 115 geophytes (107 natural and eight cultivated) belonging to 26 families was revealed. The most common families are Asparagaceae (23 taxa), Iridaceae (20 taxa) and Amaryllidaceae (14 taxa). The most common genera are Crocus (12 taxa), Orchis (7 taxa) and Allium (6 taxa). Out of a total of 115 taxa, 226 uses are reported, including 128 folk remedies, 47 ornamental plants, 48 food and three the other uses. The most widely used plant according to cultural importance index is Leucojum aestivum (Gölsoğanı, CII: 2.57).
Conclusion: Our interviews revealed that the geophytes in the study area are still widely used by people in their daily lives for medicinal, food and floricultural purposes. In addition, the ethnobotanical uses of Crocus speciosus subsp. sakariensis, Crocus keltepensis, Fritillaria bithynica and Muscari pamiryigidii are reported for the first time in Turkey.
Регионализм как драйвер активности европейских регионов в отношениях с центром
Authors: Сулимов Константин 
Published: November 2022

Регионализм стал одной из движущих сил в трансформации институциональной архитектуры взаимодействий территориальных политий разных уровней в рамках Европейского союза в течение последних десятилетий. Регионы приобрели, пусть и очень неравномерно, значительные полномочия в отношении самоуправления и влияния на принятие решений на других уровнях власти – национальном и ЕС. Но активность в использовании этих полномочий сильно варьирует в кросс-региональном и в кросс-национальном измерениях. Исследование построено на предположении, что регионализм, понимаемый как идеология и движение субнационального сообщества, политически представляемый регионалистскими партиями, является одним из факторов этой вариативности. Это предположение было проверено на материале использования регионами двух специальных механизмов взаимодействия с центром: региональные инициативы в национальных легислатурах и оспаривание в конституционных судах решений национальных органов власти. Были собраны данные за период с 2001 по 2020 г. по 80 регионам Италии, Германии, Испании и Швейцарии (2 610 инициатив и 1 444 обращения в суд – без Швейцарии, хотя этим правом кантоны обладают). Также были определены регионалистские партии в этих регионах и использованы данные об их силе в региональных легислатурах (всего 77 партий в 34 регионах). Ключевая гипотеза состоит в том, что сила регионалистских партий в регионе позитивно влияет на активность региона в использовании механизмов взаимодействия. Результаты анализа подтверждают значимость регионалистской силы для всех стран вместе и для каждой в отдельности в сочетании с менее устойчивым влиянием ресурсности и специфичности регионов. При этом есть значительные отличия между странами, которые можно объяснить тем, что эти два механизма включены в сильно различающиеся по степени институционализированности и политической значимости страновые системы отношений по линии “регионы – центр”, которые по-разному фреймируют региональные и регионалистские стратегии по использованию отдельных механизмов взаимодействия с центром.

The design of lean manufacturing system to solve the problem of inefficiency or waste in the process of ship production in Madura shipyard, with consideration because in a manufacturing system can always be found things that actually do not provide added value or things that are too excessive in doing so. This is commonly called waste workshop. Lean's approach aims to eliminate waste elimination and non value added activity, facilitate the flow of material, product and information, and continuous improvement of quality. With lean approach, it is expected that the shipyard of kapa madura will be more efficient and productive In this research, a simulation model for lean manufacturing in SME Madura shipyard was developed. Development of simulation model is done with ARENA software. To measure the lean manufacturing system performance that was designed, experiments and optimization were carried out using the Response Surface Methodology. The measurement of multi performance criteria with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method with work in process criteria, waiting time, and flow time is carried out to determine the optimal lean manufacturing system. From the completion of the AHP method, it can be seen that the weight for the waiting time criterion is 0.7; flow time 0.2, and Work in Process 0.1. The weight of each criterion generated from the AHP method multiplied by the response of each criterion will be A weighted performance measure (WPM).
Based on the optimization graph in the Response Surface Methodology method, Global Solution or the optimal solution is obtained using Minitab 16 software as follows : A (Set Up Time) = 2 (80 minutes), B (Lot Size) = -1.51515 (8 tons), C (Loading interval) = -1.23232 (208 minutes), D (Demand Stability) = -2 (90%), With the value of the goal for the minimum WPM, the lowest value is 0, the target value is 0 and the upper value is 11000
ORÍGENES: ESPERANÇA ESCATOLÓGICA ONTEM E HOJE
Authors: Redua Ashbell 
Published: November 2022

A compreensão da teologia na atualidade requer conhecimento da história da igreja, a formação de seus dogmas e a defesa da fé. Portanto ao estudar Orígenes, podemos entender a esperança escatologia hoje, muito mística que mostra as mesmas influências neoplatônicas apontadas no dualismo grego. É uma escatologia puramente espiritualista segundo a qual todos os intelectos retornarão a seu estado original de harmonia e comunhão com Deus. É evidente que com isto estamos longe de pensar que no seu contexto histórico-cultural e político-nacional não tivesse podido ser autenticamente um oásis fremente de provocação teórica e social. Por outro lado, e no que toca ao caso particular de toda a Teologia Patrística, procurámos mostrar que o seu trabalho merece apreciável destaque, pelo carácter brilhante e inusitado de Orígenes, que viveu em um período tão indefinido, pensando além de sua época caracterizada por um paupérrimo contexto da cultura e teologia helênica.
Flash flood potential risk zone identification by using GIS-based spatial multi-index model: A case study of Sunamganj District (Wetland), Bangladesh

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Heavy downpours in Meghalaya and Assam regions are causing flash floods in Bangladesh's northeastern Haor region at regular intervals. A high volume of water access to the Surma river through the downstream river network, the Haor region faces heavy damage almost every year. Literature review of past flood scenarios have shown that Sunamganj District directly faces the wrath of flash floods each year and witnesses tremendous damage. The major focus of the study was to assess the risk of flash floods in the greater Sylhet region. A geospatial multi-index model was developed which considered four major indices (hazard, exposure, sensitivity, and resilience) for the risk assessment. This model systematically accounted for various flood risk indicators related to the economic, social, and physical environment of the Sunamganj District. Geostatistical methods were used to calculate the risk from the indicators and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used for composite analysis. The result showed that the high- and very high-risk zones occupied almost 40% (~ 1452.51 Km2), while the very low- and low-risk zones covered about 45% (~ 1554.66 Km2) of the Sunamganj District. Based on the risk rank, Dharampasha upazila had high percentage (~ 60%) which followed by Sulla, Derai, Jamalganj, Daksin Sunamganj, and Tahirpur upazilas respectively. The proposed methods will help the researchers to identify the causes of flash floods and the results will be helpful for policymakers and developers to take steps for flash flood risks reduction.
The origin of maars at the type locality Eifel (Germany): H2O or CO2?
Authors: Schmincke Hans-Ulrich , Sumita Mari , CHAKRABORTY Sumit , Hansteen Thor 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Maar deposits of the late glacial iconoclastic Pulvermaar at the type locality Eifel (Germany) are interpreted to have been initiated pyroclastically at midcrustal depth. Cognate mafic nodules (amphibole, phlogopite, clinopyroxene, apatite and minor olivine) up to 35 cm in diameter, and accompanying metamorphic nodules, are mantled by melilite nephelinite crusts. Nodules are probably derived from a nearly fully crystallized intrusion (a MUSH zone), and gneiss carapace, respectively. Fluid inclusion barometry of the igneous nodules indicate depths of about 20 km, corresponding to the Conrad discontinuity. Replenishment of CO2-rich melilite nephelinite magma fragmented, abraded and rounded cognate and metamorphic rocks at depth. Rounded nodules were covered by compositionally identical lava rinds up to 3 cm thick that consist of minute sub-mm lava spheres interpreted to have formed by fluidized CO2-rich magma spray. Subround melilite nephelinite lava pellets up to 5 cm in diameter, make up >50 vol % in the bedded upper 8 m upper maar deposit. Tightly welded melilite nephelinite agglutinates in the tephra ring rising above the 70 m-deep funnel-shaped maar crater represent co-eruptive lava fountains. CO2-jetting probably transported the nodule and pellet cargo at 2m/sec (7km/h) to the surface, the igneous cargo becoming strongly enriched in Devonian sandstone and slate clasts during conduit formation. Nearby melilite nephelinite maars (Daun maar cluster) contain similar nodules and pellets. A high CO2-concentration is indicated by the magma composition and by fragments of carbonatite consisting of alkali feldspar intergrown with carbonate in several maar cluster deposits. CO2 is regarded as the dominant factor triggering and sustaining maar-explosions in these Eifel maars, as in silica-undersaturated, ultramafic and carbonatitic volcanic fields elsewhere.

Abstract
Objective:
To analyze and find risk factors associated with the development of DI using a multicenter case series via TSE.
Materials and methods:
Medical records of patients who underwent TSS for PA resection between 2010-2021 at three different neurosurgical centers by four experienced neurosurgeons were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups (DI Group or Control Group). Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors associated with postoperative DI. Univariate logistic regression was performed to identify variables of interest, and covariates with a p-value < 0.15 were incorporated into multivariate logistic regression models to identify independently associated risk factors for DI. All statistical tests were conducted using RStudio.
Results:
344 patients were included; 68% were women, the mean age was 46.5 years, and non-functioning adenomas were the most frequent (171, 49.7%). The mean tumor size was 20.3 mm. Covariates associated with postoperative DI were female gender, cavernous sinus invasion (left or bilateral), intraoperative CSF leak, endoscopic surgery, left preoperative visual field involvement, complete tumor resection, Knosp score of 2 and 4, and macroadenomas. Age was associated with a lower OR for postoperative DI. Multivariable model showed female gender (OR 3.34 CI 1.50-7.99, p=0.004) and intraoperative CSF leak (OR 3.25 CI 1.25-8.85, p=0.017) were found to be independently associated with higher OR of developing postoperative DI. Age was not shown to be a protective factor for DI (OR 0.97; CI: 0.94-1.00; p=0.038).
Conclusions:
The independent risk factors for the development of DI were female patients and intraoperative CSF leak.
Different tolerance of three typical riparian plants (Cynodon dactylon, Alternanthera philoxeroides, and Acorus calamus) to different depths of waterlogging caused variations in soil nutrient release and microbial diversity

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Water-level changes in the water-level fluctuating zone (WLFZ) promoted soil and plants to release nutrients into the water, threatening the water health in the reservoir. Plant restoration in the WLFZ is also an important way to reduce the nutrient release in order to select plants that can effectively reduce the release of soil nutrients under changing water levels. This study conducted a flooding experiment to reveal the difference in the change in soil physico-chemical properties and microbial communities with various plants under different water-level conditions. The flooding experiment began at the end of September 2020 and was planted with three dominant plants common to reservoirs, namely Cynodon dactylon, Alternanthera philoxeroides, and Acorus calamus. Our study found the three common dominant plants along the reservoir, and C. dactylon had a good adsorption capacity for nitrogen and phosphorus when it was flooded with shallow water, decreasing soil nutrients during the drying period. After a wetting–drying cycle, there was an obvious and significant (p &lt;  0.05) divergence among soil microbial community structures between N0 and D1, D2, and D3, respectively. This study could provide sufficient reference information for plant selection and the assessment of nutrient release of WLFZ in restoration work.
