Ground Motion Prediction Equations for the Vertical Component from Subduction Interface Earthquakes in Japan Using Site Classes as the Site Term
Authors: Bai Shihong , Zhao John X. 
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT
A large dataset from earthquakes up to the end of 2012 with a reliable earthquake tectonic category was used to develop a ground motion prediction equation (GMPE) for the vertical strong motions from the subduction interface earthquakes in Japan. Guided by the increase in the maximum log likelihood of the regression model, a minor extension on the maximum usable period was applied so that more records can be used at long spectral periods. A bilinear magnitude scaling function hinged at a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.1 was adopted, and the scaling rate for events with Mw&gt;7.1 is less than that for the other events. Site period-based site classes were used as the site parameter without a nonlinear site term. We used two datasets with the first dataset including strong-motion records from large events at stations with inferred site classes, and these records were removed in the second dataset so that all sites have a measured shear wave velocity profile down to the engineering bedrock. We found that excluding these records from sites with inferred site classes improved the model fit significantly. We modeled the effect of volcanic zones using the slant distance passing a set of volcanic zones. We also found that the between-site standard deviations for the vertical component in this study were generally less than those for the horizontal component at nearly all spectral periods. The total model standard deviations from this study are generally less than or similar to those from the GMPEs for the vertical ground motions for other earthquake categories. The distributions of between-site residuals with site period or TVS30 (120/VS30 in m/s) are not significantly biased, suggesting that the site term coefficients can be interpolated between that site class terms if a continuous predicted spectrum with site period or TVS30 is required.

Abstract
Highly similar waveforms recorded from repeating earthquakes can be utilized to evaluate the data quality of a seismic station. We used a hypothesis testing method to establish a data quality detection model based on repeating earthquakes. The model effectiveness was verified by using waveforms of a pair of repeating earthquakes, which occurred in northeastern Japan on 20 March 2021 (Mw=7.0) and 1 May 2021 (Mw=6.9), from 109 stations in the Global Seismographic Network. A total of 842 permanent broadband stations in mainland China were evaluated using this model. Eighteen anomalies were found mainly attributed to calibration, instrument noise, mass recentering, and regional long-period interference. We found that most of the stations function well. Moreover, utilizing repeating earthquakes to analyze the waveform quality can circumvent the need for extensive forward calculations, as well as greatly reduce the influence of source parameter uncertainties and structural complexity on the seismogram. Additionally, the need for detection in other datasets in different regional networks has broadened the scope of these applications.

Published: April 2022

Bali is one of the most popular destinations chosen by foreign tourists for their visits to Indonesia. Accordingly, Bali often is the primary basis by which foreigners assess the entire nation. Tourist attention is drawn to Bali’s natural beauty and its cultural exoticism. They show various perspectives on Balinese religious and cultural life, those that are generally closely related to Hinduism and tourism. Through qualitative approach, this study aims to analysis the religious life of the Muslim communities in Bali for completing the various viewpoints while revealing another side of Balinese exoticism. The Gelgel village of Klungkung regency is a longestablished village inhabited by Muslims in the midst of strong influences of Hinduism. This village is of interest as the oldest Muslim village in Bali to be accorded designation as a banjar dinas, and even while having a slim territory. Notably, the people in the village are generally able to live peaceably side-by-side with adherents of other religions. This is enabled through local wisdoms that have allowed and encouraged harmony withcastle, temple, and Balinese customs.
If not Bogomilism than What? The Origins of Catharism in the Light of the Sources
Authors: Czarnecki Piotr 
Published: April 2022

Since the end of the twentieth Century the traditional interpretation of Catharism, assuming it’s Eastern roots and dualist character is the object of a harsh criticism, formulated by the deconstructionist scholars. The moderated version of their new interpretation assumes that dualism didn’t play an important role in Catharism, and that the Cathar “dissidence” was not influenced by the Eastern dualist heresies (especially Bogomilism), but appeared independently in the West. According to the radical version Catharism didn’t exist at all and contemporary scholars should accept a new paradigm – Middle-Ages without Catharism.The aim of this article is to examine the source arguments, which stand behind both interpretations – on one side the arguments concerning the contacts of the Cahars with the Eastern dualists, with special attention paid to the time of their emergence and character of these relations, and on the other the arguments concerning Cathar dualist doctrines, which according to the deconstructionists were constructed arbitrarily by the Catholic polemists, basing on the ancient anti-heretical works, especially anti-Manichaean writings of St. Augustine. The article will try to find the answer to the question if the Cathar doctrines described in the Catholic sources are indeed so closely similar to the Manichaean teachings known from St. Augustine and at the same time so different from the Bogomil dualism. The analysis of the sources will show if the new interpretation is based on the arguments that are strong enough to overthrow the traditional one and if it the theory assuming lack of Bogomil influence can be considered as a serious alternative.
Between Rebellion and Statesmanship: Attempting a Biography of Ivanko, 1196/1200 (?)
Authors: Dall’Aglio Francesco 
Published: April 2022

The paper analyses the actions of Ivanko, a Bulgarian nobleman, possibly a member of the ruling family of the Asenides, who in 1196 killed the ruling tsar, Asen, and escaped to Constantinople once his plan to take control of the country failed. Owing to the benevolence of Alexios III Angelos, he joined the Byzantine military and very quickly rose through its ranks until he became the military commander of the region of Philippopolis. In 1198 or 1999 he defected and created an independent dominion on the slopes of the Stara Planina massif, precariously balanced between Bulgaria and the empire, exploiting to his own advantage the constant state of warfare between the two polities. His adventure was short-lived: in 1200 he was captured through deception by the Byzantines, taken prisoner, and presumably executed. While his political career was very short, his importance for the history of medieval Bulgaria is not to be underestimated. It is a testimony of the fluidity of the political situation at the Bulgaro-Byzantine border, whose instability often allowed ambitious and cunning local commanders to carve up autonomous dominions, and of the difficulties experienced by the central power in keeping control of the peripheral areas of the state. It is also proof of the constantly shifting ethnic and cultural allegiances of the citizens of those polities, entangled between different and often conflicting identities, usually regarded as irreconcilable but that were actually the object of a continuous negotiation and adjusting. Ivanko is an interesting case study in regard to all of those factors, especially when considered within the larger phenomenon of provincial separatism in the imperial (and Bulgarian) lands between the end of the 12th and the beginning of the 13th century.

Published: April 2022

Celem artykułu jest określenie znajomości oraz powszechności zjawiska speed-watchingu, czyli przyspieszonego oglądania materiałów audiowizualnych, wśród grupy badanej, jaką stanowili użytkownicy mediów strumieniowych (w szczególności platform VOD oraz OVP), którzy wyrazili chęć udziału w badaniu. Wspomniany zwyczaj jest jedną z nowych oraz stosunkowo słabo zbadanych praktyk konsumpcyjnych i ma swoje źródło w ciągle rosnącej ofercie programowej oraz uwarunkowanej społecznie potrzebie nieustannego „bycia na bieżąco”. W części wstępnej przedstawiono problematykę kultury nadmiaru oraz wynikające z niej zmiany w stylu obcowania z treściami transmitowanymi cyfrowo, a także ogólny zarys polskiego rynku usług medialnych na żądanie. Z kolei w części empirycznej zaprezentowano wyniki badania ankietowego przeprowadzonego wśród osób, które korzystają z serwisów streamingowych (303 osoby). Analiza objęła nie tylko poziom popularności speed-watchingu, lecz także czynniki motywujące do jego praktykowania oraz towarzyszące mu zwyczaje. Jak wynika z przeprowadzonych badań, przyspieszona recepcja dotyczy 7 na 10 badanych, tempo seansów różni się w zależności od osobistych preferencji użytkowników, a sam speed-watching jest uzupełnieniem innych praktyk, jak na przykład binge-watching czy multiscreening.

Abstract
The economic reports on income inequality, poverty, and other welfare indicators are relevant if it was supported by the evidence of income traps because rural households in developing countries were frequently hit by several shocks. This study intended to investigate the households’ vulnerability to covariate and idiosyncratic shocks in Ethiopia using three waves of the household panel survey for the period of 2011-2016. The study applied a three-level mixed effect model for analysis. The result of the three-level mixed effect model points out that both covariate and idiosyncratic shocks) were found to influence household consumption and covariate shocks are a relatively larger and more significant effect on households’ consumption than idiosyncratic shocks. Based on the finding of this study, it is suggested that the implementation of different policies that address factors contributing vulnerability to covariate and idiosyncratic shocks of rural households in Ethiopia.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the effect of different adjustments of the unloader brace on muscle activity for the vastus medial, biceps femoris, gastrocnemius medialis, and anterior tibialis in the same leg during daily life activity.Methods: Twenty-five healthy participants wearing unloaded OA braces (valgus, varus) performed the activity of daily living (ADL) which include 10 meters walking test (10MWT) and stair climbing (STC). Electromyography and anatomic angle data were recorded by the Noraxon system. Seven trials were performed (1) without the brace, (2) with a valgus brace without adjustment (Lv0), (3) with a valgus brace with level 1 adjustment (Lv1), (4) with a valgus brace with level 2 adjustment (Lv2), and the same last 3 measurements for varus adjustments. Results:No significant differences were found between the different adjustments in both tests, except in the biceps femoris during the swing phase in the case of stair climbing. Conclusion:Knee braces are recommended use for patients who suffer from osteoarthritis (OA), to support their knees. The brace adjustments don’t have any effect on muscle activity or knee flexion in case the patient was asked to increase the level of the brace.
Anthocyanin-Rich Black Carrot (Daucus Carota Ssp. Sativus Var. Atrorubens Alef.) and Red Cabbage (Brassica Oleracea) Extracts Incorporated Biosensor for Colorimetric Detection of Helicobacter Pylori with Color Image Processing

Published: April 2022

Abstract
In this work, we have developed black carrot (Daucus Carota Ssp. Sativus Var. Atrorubens Alef.) and red cabbage (Brassica Oleracea) extracts containing major anthocyanins groups incorporated a novel colorimetric biosensor for rapid, sensitive and economic detection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). We comparatively used two test solutions fixed to pH 2.5 including anthocyanins rich black carrot extract (Anth@BCE) and red cabbage extract (Anth@RCE) in H. pylori and investigated their colorimetric responses based on electronic structure and electron density of anthocyanins. As an additional study, colorimetric differences observed by naked eyes were supported by color image processing with RGB (Red Green Blue) and Delta-E analysis. The findings proposed that these tests can be effectively transferred from laboratories work to clinics.

The items included in the review are then divided depending on the whitening material used in patients, depending on treatment method, finally depending on the side effects to reach conclusions on the advantages and disadvantages of whitening dental technique, more sought after by patients, especially recently when aesthetics and dental beauty is part of aesthetics and bodily beauty, valued as a whole.
Optimisation of substrate to seed inoculum ratio for enhanced biogas production using vegetable wastes
Authors: C Prem Ananth Surendran , palani Shanmugam 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The present study optimized the substrate to seed inoculum (S/I) ratio and evaluated its influence on biogas yield using mixed vegetable market complex waste (VMCW). The batch biochemical methane potential (BMP) experiment was conducted at mesophilic conditions using varying S/I ratio of 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1 and the results were compared with the control reactor. An increasing trend in cumulative biogas yield was observed with increase in S/I ratio until 3:1 and a further increase of the same depicted a reduced cumulative biogas yield, which is attributed to Volatile Fatty Acid (VFA) accumulated toxicity beyond 3:1 (4:1 and 5:1) S/I ratio. The daily and cumulative biogas yield maxima were observed as 122 mL/day on 9th day and 1631 mL at 3:1 S/I ratio, whereas the minima were recorded as 22 mL/day on 33rd day and 316 mL in the control reactor respectively. The observed fivefold higher cumulative biogas yield at 3:1 S/I ratio than the control reactor was attributed to an optimum oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of -390 mV to -103 mV. This was also confirmed from the observed high R2 between ORP and pH (0.9061), pH and VFA (0.6383), VFA and alkalinity (0.8024), alkalinity and ammonia (0.9189) and volatile solids removed (VSr) and specific methane yield/gm VSr (0.61) in the 3:1 S/I ratio than the other ratios experimented. Thus, this study concludes the pre-acclimatised anaerobic seed inoculum of 3:1 S/I ratio favoured an enhanced biogas yield for VMCW.
A Meteorological Drought Index-Based Approach: A Spatial and Temporal Investigation of Wet and Dry Period Trends in Bangladesh between 1980 and 2018.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Drought is a stochastic climatic phenomenon that has detrimental and widespread effects that spread throughout the local community, the global economy, and ecological environments. Consideration of wet and dry periods' calculations through various drought indices has extensive consequences for better understanding and monitoring drought intensities over considering periods. As a high chance of implausibility could occur in predicting drought events, trend detection during wet and dry periods could play a vital role in assessing future events and providing a necessary equitable understanding of the events' variability. Although these event trend lines are statistically independent, they could be found to have a significant correlation in time lags. With the help of historical meteorological data (1980–2018) over Bangladesh, three drought monitoring indices were used to monitor wet and dry periods in this study, including SPI, PNPI, and ZSI. Besides, to detect the trend of wet and dry periods in time series, the Mann-Kendall nonparametric test has been used. The results reveal that, through the Mann-Kendall test, the trend of wet and dry periods was negative in the majority of total stations. A total of eight stations among thirty selected stations showing increasing and decreasing trends were significant at the 95% confidence level, respectively. Serial correlation was used for better understanding and detecting non-randomness in rainfall data and drought indices, and it was found that rainfall and drought indices were dependent on small serial correlation lags. Moreover, a significant correlation was found on lag-1 coefficient values, which justified the preceding claim. The Theil-Sen slope estimator remarkably captured the changes in trend lines.

Abstract
The pectin isolation technique from sugar beet pulp was optimized to acquire high-quality bioactive pectin with the highest yield and low esterification degree. The influence of each isolation parameter on the success of pectin production was investigated by analytical characterization methods. With this step-by-step analytic investigation, we could be able to achieve ~ 45% yield with a ~ 10% low esterification degree. In addition to compositional quality, bioactivity and anticancer profile of the obtained sugar beet pulp pectin (SBPP) was investigated on SaOS-2 osteosarcoma cell line. In comparison with citrus pectin (CP), which is frequently applied pectin derivative as an anticancer agent, SBPP revealed prolonged antiproliferative profile for cancer cells. In addition to proliferation, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and Bcl-2 anti-apoptotic gene expression were surveyed in vitro. Interestingly, the lower concentration of SBPP (0.25%) induced a significant rise in intracellular ROS level and anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 expression on the contrary to CP. All results demonstrated that different pectin types can lead different biological mechanism of action and the isolated SBPP by using optimized protocol exhibited great potential for biomedical applications without requirement of additional post-modification after isolation.

Abstract
Introduction: Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy remains the preferred and potentially curative option for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The objective of this study was to report the result of pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PEA) for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in a single tertiary center.Method: This study presents a analysis of CTEPH patients who underwent PEA enrolled in the Tabriz University of Medical sciences (TUMS-CTEPH) registry. This registry enrolled patients with CTEPH. The main outcome measures were Functional New York Heart Association [NYHA] class, 6‑Minute Walk Distance, hemodynamic measures in right heart catheterization, morbidity and mortality. Results: Here we reported 42 CTEPH patients who underwent PEA between January 2016 to October 2020. There were significant improvement in function class (2.6+-0.5 vs. 1.1+-0.34, p=0.00), mean PAP (47.1+-13 mmHg vs. post 27.9+-8 mmHg, p=0.000), cardiac output ( 4.3+-1.06 l/min vs. post 5.9+-1.2, p= 0.000 ), and pulmonary vascular resistance (709.4+-297.5 dynes • sec 1 • cm 5 vs. 214+-77 dynes • sec 1 • cm 5, p= 0.000 ). Fifteen patients (35%) developed complications. The most common complication was reperfusion injury in 10 (%23) patients. There was 4% post-surgical mortality during hospital admission and one year follow-up. Conclusion: In this first single center report of PEA from Iran, post PEA and one year survival is comparable to that in other contemporary CTEPH centers. PEA can be performed safe with low mortality. Greater awareness of PEA and patients access to experienced CTEPH centers are important aim.
