Explosion Discrimination Using Seismic Gradiometry and Spectrally Filtered Principal Components: Controlled Field Experiments
Authors: Challu Cristian , Poppeliers Christian , Punoševac Predrag , Dubrawski Artur 
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT
Spectrally filtered principal component analysis (SFPCA) is a method we developed to discriminate between seismic source types. It is based on the well-known principal component analysis but applied to seismic gradiometric data. In this article, we build on our previous efforts by testing the method on data collected in a small-scale field experiment using two source types generated by manually striking the ground at various source–receiver distances (source type A) and orientations relative to the ground surface (source type B). Using the SFPCA method that we originally developed in Challu et al. (2021), we found that we can achieve good discrimination performance for a wide range of experimental geometries and noise conditions. In addition to testing the SFPCA method using a supervised learning approach, we present an SFPCA-based discrimination method using an anomaly detection paradigm. Specifically, given a population of event-specific data (e.g., source type A), we demonstrate that an event with source type B will fall outside the accepted population range of source type A. Thus, SFPCA may have value as a seismic discriminant in the form of an anomaly detector, which may be useful if a sufficient training dataset is not available.

Maxillofacial defects compromise appearance and function making individuals incapable of leading a relatively normal life. It is always not possible to rehabilitate all these defects using plastic surgery. Although remarkable advancements have evolved in this field, the patient’s financial constraints make the prosthodontist think about the basic concepts and techniques in the fabrication of these prostheses. Hence an acceptable replacement of such defects becomes a challenge to maxillofacial prosthodontists. Hence an acceptable replacement of such defects becomes a challenge to maxillofacial prosthodontists.This case report describes a simplified method of fabrication of an orbital silicone prosthesis retained with medical grade adhesive for the rehabilitation of the left eye using inverted anatomic tracing followed by fabrication and processing of the wax pattern. Hence it is the responsibility of the maxillofacial prosthodontist to deliver an esthetically acceptable prosthesis that improves the patient’s morale and help them to lead a normal life.

Published: September 2022

En el mundo gran parte de las fuentes de abastecimiento de agua subterránea y superficiales se ven afectadas por la presencia de manganeso (Mn2+) que es uno de los mayores contaminantes y causa impacto en el medio ambiente Las labores mineras subterráneas generan aguas ácidas, cuyo pH está entre 2 y 6; sin embargo, las compañías mineras no presentan metodologías para el control. Para el desarrollo del presente trabajo, se obtuvieron muestras de agua ácida desde la bocamina del área industrial de la unidad de producción minera Carahuacra (Compañía Minera Volcán S.A.A.), de acuerdo al Protocolo de Monitoreo de Aguas de la Autoridad Nacional del Agua (ANA), a los 4600 msnm, en la provincia de Yauli, Región Junín. El agua ácida estudiada tiene un pH entre 3.5 a 5.5 y una concentración de Mn2+ hasta 250 mg/L. Para cumplir con la normativa vigente, se requiere reducir la concentración por debajo de 0.2 mg/L (ECA-2017). El objetivo de la investigación es proponer el uso de hipoclorito de sodio (NaClO) como un agente oxidante para permitir su precipitación y separación. Se realizaron pruebas a diferentes pH, concentraciones (%) y consumos de hipoclorito de sodio (mg/L); lográndose una remoción de 99.96% de Mn2+. El rango óptimo de pH logrado está entre 8.5 y 8.8 mientras que la concentración y consumo del hipoclorito de sodio, responden a 0.05% y 1.0 mg/L respectivamente. El presente procedimiento puede ser aplicado por otras compañías para disminuir el ion Mn2+.
Paradoks fikcji — krytyczny przegląd głównych teorii
Authors: Dąbrowski Andrzej 
Published: September 2022

Przedmiotem artykułu jest paradoks fikcji. Prezentuję wybrane najważniejsze próby jego wyjaśnienia i rozwiązania. Twierdzę, że ów paradoks wynika z przyjęcia silnego założenia, że do powstania reakcji emocjonalnej niezbędne jest przekonanie o realnym istnieniu czegoś. Przekonanie to wcale nie jest jednak konieczne — można bać się, że p, a równocześnie nie mieć silnego przekonania, że p. Wystarczy posiadać określoną myśl. Bronię tezy, że nasze reakcje emocjonalne zapośredniczone są przez umysł i jego reprezentacyjno-treściowe wyposażenie. Ze względu na skromne piśmiennictwo poświęcone temu tematowi w języku polskim artykuł został napisany w języku rodzimym autora. Artykuł ma zatem charakter edukacyjny i przede wszystkim popularyzacyjny.
W stronę lepszego rozumienia emocji: Wpływ filozofowania z dziećmi na uczenie emocji – przegląd badań rozwojowych
Authors: Janczura Jakub , Karczmarczyk Anna , Gut Arkadiusz , Mirski Robert 
Published: September 2022

Niniejszy artykuł podejmuje kwestię roli Filozofii dla Dzieci (P4C) w kontekście rozumienia emocji. Najpierw przedstawiamy początek koncepcji Filozofii dla Dzieci, jako metody pedagogicznej wspierającej umiejętność krytycznego myślenia oraz proces, w jakim przekształciła się w narzędzie badawcze rozwijane w postaci interwencji psychologicznych. Następnie pokazujemy, w jaki sposób narzędzie P4C można zastosować w badaniach rozwojowych dotyczących rozumienia emocji przez dzieci. Argumentujemy, że projekt P4C służy nie tylko budowaniu wiedzy i poprawie zdolności poznawczych, ale sprzyja również kształtowaniu rozumienia sfery emocjonalnej. Pokazujemy, że korzyści z filozofowania w domenie emocji są obserwowane u coraz młodszych dzieci. Zaznaczamy przy tym, że P4C dopiero od niedawna jest wykorzystywana w kontekście wspierania rozwoju emocji, a także w ramach interwencji z udziałem dzieci poniżej wieku szkolnego. Pokazujemy, że jest wynikiem zmian w sposobie pojmowania umysłowości dziecka, które nastąpiły w psychologii rozwojowej w ciągu ostatnich kilkudziesięciu lat.
Narcissism as a global barrier to education for sustainable development
Authors: Milligan Meg , Mankelwicz John M. , See Hoon Peow 
Published: September 2022

Narcissism, extreme self-interest, refers to a set of personality characteristics including arrogance, self-centeredness, need for admiration, sense of entitlement, grandiosity, lack of empathy, and interpersonal exploitation, which can range from normal to a diagnosable mental disorder, narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissism, deriving from the Greek myth of Narcissus who fell in love with his reflection in a pool of water which led to his demise, is part of our human nature and is associated with aggressive behaviour, conflict and war, counterproductive work behaviour, “bad” leadership, and weaker environmental ethics. Evidence suggests that individual and collective narcissism is increasing worldwide. Correspondingly, individualism is increasing while collectivism is declining. Furthermore, leadership attracts narcissists with its allure of power and prestige, who then affect their organisations’ performance, and those higher in narcissism tend to attain higher leadership levels. These trends are increasingly problematic as our world shifts toward greater interdependence. Add the challenges of narcissism with its corresponding threats to sustainable institutions to the challenges of sustainable development, “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987: 43), and this identifies an overlooked barrier to education for sustainable development. We developed a testable model to address this barrier. Since the determining factors for institutional sustainability are generated largely by activities of specific teams, departments, and task forces, our framework stresses interactions at the group level in education systems. This model presents seven sets of impacts of a narcissistic leader’s actions upon the outcomes for her or his group, generates fourteen propositions, and outlines research strategies.

Les graines sont les éléments indispensables dans la dispersion et le renouvellement des individus d’une espèce. De la qualité et surtout de la quantité de ses graines dépendent la dynamique d’une population surtout ligneuse. L'objectif est d'évaluer les stocks des semences de D.mespiliformis dans les sols afin de contribuer à la maîtrise des contraintes liées à sa régénération naturelleAinsi un échantillon de 265 arbres adultes dans les zones de présence de l’espèce a été pris pour cette étude le long de quatre cours d’eau du Niger (Dargol, Goulbi N’kaba, Goulbi Maradi, Gouroubi). L’évaluation des stocks de graines du sol révèle 42 graines/m2 avec le pourcentage de graines pleines variant entre 73,98 % à Goroubi et 95,94% dans les champs dunaires de Goulbi Maradi. Au total, 83 % de graines récoltées sont pures avec une viabilité moyenne de 95 %. Ce stock est nécessaire et est suffisant pour assurer la dynamique progressive de population de l’ébène d’Afrique.

Seeds are indispensable in the dispersal and renewal of a particular species. The quantity and quality of these seeds depend on the dynamics of a predominantly woody population. The objective is to assess seed stocks in soils so as to contribute to the knowledge of the difficulties related to natural regeneration of D. mespiliformis. A sample of 265 adult trees were taken from the species for this study along four rivers of Niger (Dargol, Goulbi kaba, Goulbi Maradi, Gouroubi). The evaluation of the soil seed stocks reveals 42 seeds/m2 with the percentage of full seeds varying between 73.98% in Goroubi and 95.94 % in the dune fields of Goulbi Maradi. 83% of seeds harvested are pure with an average viability of 95%. This stock is necessary and sufficient to allow the progressive population dynamics of african ebony.
Russian Identity in Regional Diversity: The Role of Trust
Authors: Ryzhova Svetlana 
Published: September 2022

The article presents the results of a study of the dynamics of Russian identity and the level of generalised trust in Russia and Russian regions. The empirical basis for the study is all-Russian surveys (2020 and 2018) and surveys in the republics of the Russian Federation - Kabardino-Balkaria, Sakha (Yakutia) and Tatarstan (2019–2021); data from regional studies (2016-2018) are used for comparison. Particular attention is paid to the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. All surveys use the same set of questions aimed at identifying the actualisation of Russian identity and the level of generalised trust and distrust. Russian identity is studied from the standpoint of E.Erickson's theory of psychosocial identity and H.Taifel and J.Turner's social identity; generalised trust study is based on the concepts of P.Sztompka and R.Inglehart. The concept of “flow consolidation” and “social conjunctors” by O.A.Karmadonov is applied to the analysis of empirical data. The issues of the correlation of Russian and ethnic identities in the regions are discussed. It is noted that their balance reflects the success of the regional and federal policy of managing ethnocultural diversity. The data of sociological research suggests that the wide distribution of Russian and ethnic identities in the regional society and the &amp;quot;equilibrium&amp;quot; of their actualisation indicate the optimal balance of ethno-cultural and all-Russian state-civil trends in nation-building.
Russian identity and a culture of trust can be viewed as effective social conjunctors actively involved in the formation of the Russian state and political commоnality. The actualised Russian identity supports the vertical “stream of consolidation” that unites the country's multi-ethnic space, while the emerging culture of trust (which the most sensitive indicator is the level of generalised trust) supports the horizontal stream of consolidation. Empirical data allow us to conclude that in the current conditions of a deficit in the state integration policy, the culture of trust acts as a &amp;quot;locomotive&amp;quot; that promotes the formation of the Russian nation. It is noted that although the strength of this “locomotive” is still small, nevertheless, it has a positive impact on the formation of Russian identity: in all the regions under study, the actualisation of Russian identity is higher among those who demonstrate attitudes of generalised trust, believing that most people can be trusted.

Le système d’élevage pastoral est critiqué pour son impact environnemental en raison des fortes émissions de gaz à effet de serre par unité de produit et l’effet néfaste sur le sol et la végétation. Au Sénégal, le stock de carbone dans la végétation est suivi par le Centre de suivi écologique dans 24 sites du Sahel depuis 1987. Toutefois, le stock de C du sol, paramètre essentiel aux processus d’humification de la litière des arbres et de rhizodéposition des herbacées, n’est pas pris en compte. Cette étude visait à déterminer l’influence de l’arbre et des facteurs environnementaux sur les teneurs en C du sol. Ainsi, 15 sites de suivi du Centre ont été sélectionnés, et 480 échantillons de sol ont été prélevés à 0–10 cm et 10–30 cm de profondeur sous et hors houppier. Les teneurs en C et en N totales ont été prédites par spectroscopie proche infrarouge (SPIR) et les stocks de C et de N calculés à partir de 60 échantillons de sol prélevés sous et hors houppier. Une analyse en composantes principales a permis d’identifier les facteurs impliqués dans la variation des stocks de C. Ainsi, dans la zone sylvopastorale du Sénégal, ces stocks ont varié le long d’un gradient nord-sud ; ils ont été positivement corrélés à la pluviométrie, au taux de couverture arborée et à la biomasse. Ils ont varié entre 9,3 et 29,7 Mg C/ha à 10–30 cm. A une échelle plus fine, l’arbre a induit une augmentation des teneurs en C et en N sous houppier dans l’horizon 0–10 cm. Cette étude a montré que les stocks de C du sol peuvent servir à déterminer les besoins de compensation des émissions de C dans le Sahel à travers la plantation d’arbres.

Published: September 2022

This study aims to determine the growth and yield of Pakcoy plants with nutrient concentasry and liquid organic fertilizer in the Wicksist hydroponics system. The study was carried out on February 14, 2022 – April 14, 2022 at Green House Umsida using a randomized design method of groups with a single factor, namely a combination of ab mix nutrient concentration and liquid organic fertilizer consisting of 4 levels: AB Mix Nutrient Concentration 2000 ppm + Without POC, AB Nutrition Mix Concentration 1500 ppm + POC 500 ppm, Ab Mix Nutrient Concentration 1000 ppm + POC 1000 ppm, Ab Mix Nutrient Concentration 500 ppm + POC 1500 ppm. Observation of plant height, weevil diameter, leaf julah, wet weight and dry weight. The results of this study showed that the combination of AB MIX nutrients with liquid organic fertilizer from leri water fermented by lactobacilus bacteria affected the growth and production of mustard crops. On the K3 treatment (Ab Mix Nutrient Concentration 1000 ppm + POC 1000 ppm) had a significant influence on all observations. Providing a balanced concentration of nutrients with liquid organic fertilizers reduces the use of chemical fertilizers
Valoración cultural y paisajística de conjuntos poblacionales rurales: comarca del Altiplano (Murcia/Sureste de España)
Authors: Sánchez-Sánchez Miguel Ángel , Albacete Moreno Alfonso 
Published: September 2022

Los asentamientos humanos rurales forman parte del patrimonio cultural y paisajístico de Europa, y su valoración objetiva es fundamental para establecer programas de recuperación y desarrollo, constituyendo el objetivo fundamental de este trabajo. Para ello, se estableció una metodología cuantitativa basada en el análisis, mediante ecuaciones ponderadas, de dos áreas o coronas, una interior y otra exterior, de los núcleos poblacionales, que permitía obtener un valor numérico global denominado “valor cultural y paisajístico”. Esta metodología fue aplicada a una selección de 9 asentamientos humanos rurales de la comarca murciana del Altiplano. Los asentamientos que mostraron valores más altos albergaban elementos con mayor valoración arquitectónica y natural, destacando Fuente del Pino, por su huerta tradicional y la presencia de elementos arquitectónicos significativos, y Santa Ana del Monte, por estar situado en un enclave natural protegido y contar con un antiguo convento. Por el contrario, Casas de Pinillos, situado en una zona esteparia con intensa transformación agrícola, fue el asentamiento que presentó un valor más bajo. Por tanto, el abordaje objetivo, mediante ecuaciones, de la valoración cultural y paisajística de los conjuntos poblacionales rurales permite una aproximación sencilla, pero a la vez muy robusta, sobre su potencialidad de desarrollo, que está abierta a posibles modificaciones y mejoras en función del grado de profundización requerido.

Abstract
Background: High prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in sunshine-abundant countries is paradoxical. This necessitates a better understanding of the determinants of sun exposure practices. This study investigates how risk perceptions regarding sun exposure might influence relevant habits among the young adults and whether it might have any link to vitamin D deficiency in the community.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted from August 2019 to February 2020 using a pretested structured questionnaire focusing on knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding sunlight and vitamin D among college and university-level students in Bangladesh. A total of 3,812 students from 25 different institutions were enrolled. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the responses.
Results: Among the respondents, 52% thought regular sunlight exposure would be harmful to health, and 29% thought the intensity of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in Bangladesh was very high. While 79% believed direct sunlight should only be sought ‘sometimes’, 9% thought it should be totally avoided. At least one sun-protection item was used by 72% of respondents, while 52% thought sunscreen should be used always when outdoors. A negative attitude to sunlight was significantly more prevalent among the females (p < 0.01). Knowledge about the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency and its potential health effects was generally very low. Only 12% of the participants correctly identified 10 am to 3 pm as the best time to get vitamin D from sunlight. Only 22% took vitamin D ever, and 7% ever checked their serum levels.
Conclusion: This study highlights some crucial determinants of sun exposure practices that can partially explain high vitamin D deficiency in sunshine-abundant regions. Findings and insights from this study could be generalizable for other countries with comparable socio-demographic settings and will facilitate adopting more sustainable policies to address vitamin D deficiency globally.

Abstract
The search for development in an economically sustainable and ecologically correct way is an objective of modern society that has been investing in products that reduce their impacts on the environment, especially in relation to the use of plastic, which is very harmful to nature due to its toxicity and time of stay in the middle. The present study aims to analyze the feasibility of producing blocks made of concrete with different amounts of plastic taken from coastal and estuarine areas. After analysis in the laboratory, it was found that the blocks with 5% of plastic have good compressive strength, are lighter, there was an increase in the acidity of the sample, a decrease in the density of the block, a reduction in the flexural strength, a reduction in the compressive strength. The prototype with 5% of plastic by mass is efficient for the construction of single-story houses, meeting the minimum requirements of normative resistance, allowing the shielding of the plastic in the block, reducing the impact on the environment.
Analysis of Aerosol Optical Depth Trends and their Influencing Factors over Indo-Gangetic Plain

Published: September 2022

Abstract
The present study investigates the influencing factors responsible for the asymmetry in aerosol optical depth (AOD) trends using long-term datasets (2003-2019)over western and eastern Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) regions during the pre-monsoon season. Analysis from MERRA-2 for different aerosols illustrates that dust aerosols dominate over the western IGP (W-IGP), while sulphate and carbonaceous aerosols (black carbon (BC) and organic carbon (OC)) majorly contributed to the total AOD over the eastern IGP (E-IGP). Our study reveals a significant decline in AOD over the W-IGP, while a rising trend over E-IGP from satellite (MODIS) and Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications Version-2 (MERRA-2) data. A dipole pattern in AOD trends over IGP indicates the aerosol loading from combined effects of various natural and anthropogenic emissions under favourable meteorological conditions over the west and east IGP, respectively. Furthermore, the declining AOD trend over W-IGP is mainly attributed to increased pre-monsoonal rainfall, which supports the wet deposition and increases soil moisture, thus reducing soil erodibility, and correlates strongly with meteorological factors. The rising AOD trend over the E-IGP appears to be influenced by increased anthropogenic emissions (i.e., BC, OC, and sulfate) from industrialization of the region, decreased rainfall and enhanced westerly-induced advection of aerosols from W-IGP. Our study indicates that the regional meteorological variables and anthropogenic sources influence changes in the AOD trends over the IGP region.
