Introducción. El uso de análisis de imágenes digitales con el “Germinator” permite evaluar la germinación de las semillas de forma automática. Además de la germinación máxima, se pueden cuantificar otros parámetros asociados al vigor de forma simultánea. Objetivo. Optimizar el “Germinator” como complemento de análisis automático de calidad germinativa de semillas de arroz. Materiales y métodos. Los experimentos se realizaron en el Centro para Investigaciones en Granos y Semillas (CIGRAS) durante el 2015 al 2018. Se optimizó el paquete de software denominado “Germinator” en la variedad Palmar 18 y después se probó con un panel de 126 muestras de semillas de arroz compuesta por catorce variedades. Se cuantificaron curvas de germinación, los datos obtenidos de forma automática se compararon con conteos manuales de protrusión radicular y con una metodología estandarizada. Además, se realizaron experimentos de envejecimiento acelerado y envejecimiento controlado para mostrar la sensibilidad del método automatizado. Resultados. La relación entre la germinación obtenida de forma automática y la cuantificada de forma manual fue alta (R2= 0,99). La germinación máxima, cuantificada por medio del análisis de imágenes varió de 69 % a 100 % en el panel de 126 muestras. La correlación entre la germinación evaluada mediante imágenes digitales y el método estándar fue de rho (spearman)= 0,34. El “Germinator” permitió cuantificar de forma simultánea otras variables asociadas con el vigor de las semillas, como el parámetro t50, que es el tiempo que la muestra de semillas toma para alcanzar el 50 % de la germinación. Además, el método automático reveló el efecto diferenciado de dos protocolos de envejecimiento. Conclusiones. El uso de análisis de imágenes en arroz permitió evaluar la germinación de forma automática basado en la protrusión radicular y también posibilitó cuantificar otras variables complementarias asociadas al vigor de la semilla (t50).

Published: September 2022

Against of what mainstream society believes, Roma women are participating in public spaces of debate and decision-making and taking the lead in opening educational and labor opportunities for themselves, their families and their communities. The specific traits of the type of leadership developed and exercised by Roma women in civic organizations, as something that differs from both the type of leadership done by Roma men, or non-Roma women, is yet scantily researched by academic literature. Aimed at filling this gap, this article presents and discusses what we have identified as dialogic traits in Roma women leadership when engaged in social and political actions. We call these traits “dialogic”, as all of them are constructed and emerged based on egalitarian and intersubjective dialogue among Roma women themselves, and their communities. These traits are, leadership assumed in a relational way, as a collective responsibility and developed with others; putting the Roma values and shared identity at the core; and with a strong understanding of the need of intergenerational solidarity among themselves as a motor of organized action. Findings are drawn from qualitative interviews conducted with Roma women of diverse ages, and Spanish regions, who are all of them leaders engaged across diverse organized spaces of civic participation, namely Roma women civic organizations, or other types of political institutions.
Phonetic and lexico-morphological particularities of Homeric poems in Turkish versions
Authors: Anefi Icbal 
Published: September 2022

The following pages are a sample of possible directions for analysing translations from an ancient and very special language – the Homeric Greek – into a modern language. Even if the two languages are genealogically and typologically related, any translation, naturally, is a challenge in terms of mentality and the linguistic approach. When differences imposed by the genealogical and structural-typological criterion interfere between the two languages brought into cultural contact, the difficulties in rendering the original text increase very much. However, the new versions may be very well done, because, as it is known, any natural language has compensating virtues for rendering particularities in the source language.
The corpus of texts selected for our little excursion into the diachrony of Turkish translations from the Iliad and the Odyssey has been extracted from the most representative Turkish version, “Erhat-Kadir”. In order to render the texts in Romanian, we have used the best-known version in this cultural-linguistic area, the “Murnu version”.

<p>Reconstruction of facial orbital region defects, secondary to wound dehiscence following orbital exentration to treat Mucormycosis is an issue confronting the rhinologist. The transposition flaps have a vital role when expected result is unlikely, neither aesthetic nor functional, with a simple primary closure, secondary intention, advancement sliding flap or by free skin grafts. Glabellar transposition flap was used in a patient with a wide defect involving the medial wall of the orbit. Though there is a delicate dissection of pedicel there is likelihood of a trapdoor deformity but the glabellar flap facilitates repair in a single-staged procedure. Moreover, the donor site scars are merged in the margins of the aesthetic units thereby retaining facial cosmesis.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Authors: Souza Matilde Costa Fernandes de , Santos Vilson Pruzak dos 
Published: September 2022

Este artigo pretende apresentar algumas relações entre a linguagem oral e a escrita, diferenciando-as no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, e apontando possibilidades de trabalho sobre o tema em questão com base em um estudo de caso prático realizado em uma turma do 6º ano do ensino fundamental, na Escola de São Salvador, no município de Cascavel. É sabido que os alunos, principalmente no ensino fundamental, tendem a escrever de acordo como falam, não compreendendo a linha tênue que separa a fala da escrita. Diante disso, a pesquisa buscou apoio teórico em autores renomados como Bagno (2007), Magda Soares (1996), Bortoni-Ricardo (2005), Cagliari (1996-2004), entre outros de suma importância, que ajudaram a esclarecer a diferença entre a fala e a escrita. Desse modo, foi proposto a uma turma do 6º ano do ensino fundamental um trabalho com a personagem Chico Bento, das histórias em quadrinhos da turma da Mônica. O trabalho aqui desenvolvido não só possibilitou aos alunos perceberem como ocorre o processo de transposição da fala para a escrita, como também favoreceu a introdução da noção de variedade linguística.

Published: September 2022

» Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following hip hemiarthroplasty (HA) is a devastating complication, incurring immense health-care costs associated with its treatment and placing considerable burden on patients and their families. These patients often require multiple surgical procedures, extended hospitalization, and prolonged antimicrobial therapy.» Notable risk factors include older age, higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, inadequate antibiotic prophylaxis, non-antibiotic-loaded cementation of the femoral implant, longer duration of the surgical procedure, and postoperative drainage and hematoma.» Although the most frequent infecting organisms are gram-positive cocci such as Staphylococcus aureus, there is a higher proportion of patients with gram-negative and polymicrobial infections after hip HA compared with patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty.» Several surgical strategies exist. Regardless of the preferred surgical treatment, successful management of these infections requires a comprehensive surgical debridement focused on eradicating the biofilm followed by appropriate antibiotic therapy.» A multidisciplinary approach led by surgeons familiar with PJI treatment and infectious disease specialists is recommended for all cases of PJI after hip HA to increase the likelihood of treatment success.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
—We present data on the geochronology, geochemistry, and Nd isotope composition of granitoids of the Gremyachikha and North Gremyachikha massifs (Kundusyul pluton) located in the Neoproterozoic metamorphosed island arc calc-alkalic volcanic rocks of the Talanovka–Bogorodka block in northern Kuznetsk Alatau (Martaiga uplift). The granitoids formed 890–880 Ma as a result of the accretion and collision of Neoproterozoic oceanic/island arc complexes with an unknown block formed by continent-marginal metasedimentary strata. The predominance of a metasedimentary source formed during the erosion of the early Precambrian and Neoproterozoic complexes is confirmed by the wide range of the ages of xenogenic zircons in the granitoids (2800 to 930 Ma) and by variations in the εNd values (−7.8 to −1.0) and model Nd age of the granites (2.20–1.64 Ga).

Abstract
Application of polymer flooding in carbonate reservoirs still faces significant challenges, including polymer degradation, injectivity, and retention. With the increased awareness of the importance of water chemistry, this paper investigates the effect of make-up water composition on an ATBS (Acrylamido-Tertiary-Butyl Sulfonate)-based polymer performance focusing on polymer-rock interactions. Comprehensive rheological studies at ambient (25 °C) and reservoir (90 °C) temperatures were conducted on the potential ATBS-based polymer to study the effect of water chemistry. Different make-up water recipes were used with salinity ranging from 400 to 167,000 ppm. Further, static and dynamic adsorption studies were conducted at ambient temperature (25 °C) to investigate polymer performance and polymer-rock interactions. The water recipes with salinity less than 10,000 ppm showed better performance in terms of viscosity enhancement and reduced polymer adsorption. By reducing the overall salinity of the make-up water, the required polymer concentration to achieve a specific target polymer viscosity was decreased by 50-70%. The polymer solution in the diluted brine showed lowered adsorption value of 25 μg/g-rock as opposed to the high salinity formation water (167,000 ppm) and seawater (43,000 ppm) with adsorption levels between 47-56 μg/g-rock. Moreover, a reduction in polymer adsorption was further observed in the presence of crude oil. This research highlights the importance of make-up water salinity on polymer performance and concludes that low salinity water injection enhances polymer flooding performance and reduces polymer adsorption.
A Systematic Approach to Evaluate the Sanding Potential Caused by Formation Shear Failure in Unconsolidated Oil and Gas Reservoirs
Authors: Baptista Bryan , Fair Christopher 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This article will address two issues related to sand production in unconsolidated reservoirs. First, it will examine the relationship between formation compressibility (Cf), elasto-plastic hysteresis and the shear failure of the formation macroscopically (when the fluid and formation pressure together cannot support the overburden stress), as well as the methodology to predict this failure pressure. Second, it will explore the means to recognize which formations are more friable and likely to produce sand grains – microscopic shear failure. The two effects are only tangentially related but can occur simultaneously.
Logs and petrophysical data should be methodolically used to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the sanding potential of a well or reservoir. The first method is evaluating the compressibility of formation rocks as they first demonstrate elasto-plasticity, then have catastrophic shear failure. The other method evaluates the sanding potential based on the friability of the formation.
The most effective way to manage/mitigate catastrophic/macroscopic shear failure is to observe the dynamic behavior of the reservoir. By plotting the build-up permeability vs. skin-less FBHP, the failure pressure of the formation can be determined. Good operating practices then dictate that the well should not be flowed at pressures below the value plus a safety factor. The approach to managing potential sand grain failure (microscopic shear failure) is to design the completion (frac-pack, gravel pack, etc.) to collect the sand grains in the pack and screens, then perform periodic pump-in stimulation treatments to push the fines away from the screens/pack. Two examples each from the Gulf of Mexico and the Louisiana Gulf Coast will be presented to demonstrate the methodology for both macroscopic and microscopic shear failure.
It should be noted that it is important to differentiate the cause of sand production/fines migration as one of the two (macro/micro) causes. This can be determined by tracking the accretion of skin due to fines. If this occurs coincident with a decrease in permeability or mobility thickness, it should be assumed that the cause is macroscopic shear failure. If the permeability remains constant as skin due to fines increases, it is due to microscopic shear failure. Technically, both mechanisms can occur simultaneously, but it is best to approach the issue conservatively and assume that any increase in skin due to fines that occurs with a decrease in mobility thickness is due to macroscopic shear failure. Applying the sanding potential systematically to formation evaluation can improve the completion design; predicting the macroscopic shear failure pressure of the formation contributes to better overall reservoir management.
Improving Banyu Urip Acid Gas Removal Unit (AGRU) and Acid Gas Enrichment (AGE) System Performance and Reliability by Implementing an Effective Wetted Surface Air Cooler (WSAC) Chemical Treatment Program

Published: September 2022

Abstract
The Banyu Urip production facility located in East Java, Indonesia; currently produces ca. 30% of the country's daily oil production. Field fluids are sour with high H2S (1.6%) and CO2 (45%) in the gas, which is conditioned prior to it's use as fuel, for Sulphur Recovery, or for reinjection. Gas conditioning takes place in two amine units, the Acid Gas Recovery Unit (AGRU) and the Acid Gas Enrichment Unit (AGE). Both units use aqueous MDEA as the amine solvent, with Wetted Surface Air Coolers (WSAC) used to cool hot lean amine off the regenerator columns.
In early operation both conditioning units operated at design case. In the period 2018-2020 however, the WSACs became progressively fouled with scale and algae which led to a decrease in thermal transfer efficiency and a consequential decline in plant performance and reliability. SOx emissions were also impacted negatively.
To resolve fouling and its detrimental consequences, a chemical treatment program was developed and implemented. The program involved laboratory qualification of candidate chemicals, including evaluation in a novel pilot skid that accurately simulated WSAC field conditions; followed by extended field trials. System performance was evaluated, which verified the pilot skid test results, and the program was implemented on a continuous basis. Extensive surveillance of multiple chemical and operational parameters was performed, and with critical evaluation of these derived data sets, improvements in operational practices were implemented, and unit performance gains realized.
Implementation of the program has improved the reliability of the Fuel Gas Compressors (FGC) reducing monthly Gas Turbine Generator (GTG) diesel consumption rates by a factor of &gt; 6. Secondly, AGE operational improvements reduced net SOx emissions for the facility by ca. 70% (2019 vs 2021) through a reduction in Thermal Oxidizer feed gas H2S content, and in lowering LP flaring.
Successful Cement Placement Achieved When Faced with Challenging Shallow Wells
Authors: Shine Joe 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Cementing conventional production liners is a mature topic with documented success. For wells drilled in a shallow domain, such as 4,000 feet or less, there can be challenges routinely overlooked technically as well as operationally. If not accounting for these challenges during the service delivery, it may prevent achievement of the isolation requirements. The development of the practices resulted from unfavorable cement evaluation logs that led to remedial cementing operations or worse case, premature well abandonment. A reform of the practices used to cement challenging shallow production liners included aspects of the design as well as the on-location (wellsite execution) phase of the service delivery helping to deliver the isolation requirements.
The manuscript provides guidance from a position of managing the cementing service delivery while communicating the learning's contributing to successful shallow production liner cementing in the region of the study. It may provide the same success in other areas, as the reform practices are not unique. The practices include improvements to the service delivery such as liner hanger modifications, wellsite mixing practices, cementing fluid designs and placement optimization methods.

Abstract
Shunt tube deployed Open Hole Gravel Pack (OHGP) completions have been installed in the industry for about 25 years and have become widely recognized as a very reliable sand control completion technique. Some of these shunt tube gravel pack operations, are pumped with no positive surface treating pressure for a long duration of the packing operation. This paper will discuss in detail the system hydraulics and shunt tube packing process in these types of operation.
The paper will review the surface and down hole gauge pumping data from a suite of shunt tube gravel packs which were pumped for sustained periods with no positive surface treating pressure. It will identify and discuss gravel packing signatures and trends that are unique to these types of operations including detailed analysis of down hole gauge data. Additionally, the paper will discuss the challenges and potential issues that can occur when executing this type of gravel pack and potential mitigation measures.
Shunt tube deployed OHGP systems are designed to function in wells with small fluid weight to fracture pressure windows and as such are pumped at low rate with a viscous carrier fluid. Consequently, many of these gravel packs are pumped with no positive pump pressure as the positive u-tube pressure of the additional hydrostatic weight of the slurry in the work string is higher than the overall friction pressure in the system. This effect can have a significant impact on the job execution in several ways if not fully understood and appropriately incorporated into the pumping plan. The potential impacts which are discussed in the paper, include:
Inability to monitor the downhole packing process and bottom hole circulating pressure which can result in fracturing the formation while still with no positive surface pressure. Apparent increases and decreases to the return rate which can potentially be misinterpreted as losses or gains and subsequently drive detrimental changes to the execution plan including early termination of the operation and large reductions in pump rate. Stalling of the down hole packing process when there is inadequate pressure differential to drive flow through the shunt tubes
The mechanics of pumping shunt tube OHGPs without positive surface pressure has not been previously studied in depth or documented. Given the challenges with real time pumping diagnostics and post job analysis of the packing process of these jobs and the potential for misinterpretation of the data, the paper will provide a comprehensive review of this issue that can be used as a basis for designing and executed future operations.
Case Study Evaluating a Novel Anti-Corrosion System for Production Tubing in West Texas
Authors: Kabanov Maxim , Hicks Bryant 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Preventing corrosion, especially in harsh environments, is a challenge in many oil fields in the world, and West Texas is no exception. As aging fields and assets make up an increasing part of operators’ portfolios, with higher water cuts and more use of EOR systems, corrosion and erosion of downhole tubulars becomes a more notable problem.
This paper looks at a case study to evaluate the effectiveness of a new, multi-layer protective coating to mitigate corrosion damage, extend tubing life and lower operating costs. A major operator sought a solution for their highly corrosive, plunger-produced wells in West Texas (Permian Basin), to extend production tubing life. A novel coating solution, using a combination of a Zinc intermetallic layer and an internal polymer layer, together with protective inserts, was proposed and field-tested.
Following selection of a suitable candidate well, a comparison between uncoated tubulars and the proposed system was performed: prior to the trial, untreated tubulars were used and resulted in failure after an average 352 days; these were replaced with the novel coated system, together with protective inserts. The well was allowed to flow under normal operating conditions for 215 days, at which point the whole string was pre-emptively pulled and evaluated for corrosion damage.
Prior to the trial, using uncoated tubing (including 1% Cr), the trial well experienced HIT failure and erosion of the J-section after an average 352 days, caused by severe corrosion and erosion. A novel, multi-layer coating was applied to the production tubing and the well operated for 215 days, at which point the string was pulled for evaluation. The tubing was evaluated for wall thickness loss with EMI – maximum loss for the coated tubulars was 15%, with an average significantly below that and no damage along the pin-ends. Losses for the uncoated pipe used previously would be over 50% (2/3 green or red band, over half red band). These results showed a significant and notable protective effect of the multi-layer coating system, with all but one joint cleared for further use. The same string is currently in operation in the well, with a cumulative run-time of over 36 months.
