Geochronology and decoupling controls of Sn-(Ta-Li) and W-(Sn) mineralization in the Iberian Variscan Massif, Spain and Portugal

Sn-W mineralization in the Iberian Variscan Massif (corresponding with the western zone of the Iberian Peninsula, in Spain and Portugal) occurs closely related to metaluminous to peraluminous granitoids of Variscan age. The deposits are grouped into two main styles of mineralization; Sn-(Ta-Li) and W-(Sn) deposits. Within this work we present a first attempt to correlate timing of W-Sn mineralization and plutonic events at a regional scale. We report new 40Ar/39Ar dates of muscovite related to the quartz-muscovite alteration of eleven deposits, molybdenite Re-Os dates from six deposits and two new zircon U-Pb dates of granitoids genetically related to the mineralization. The dates obtained support the relationship between W-Sn mineralization with specific, but not uniquely just one, granite suites. The dominant S-type peraluminous Variscan granitic suites in Iberia, the S1-type dated at ca. 330–311 Ma and the S2-type at ca. 314–296 Ma, are related to both, Sn-(Ta-Li) and W-(Sn) mineralization. A subgroup of deposits of the W-(Sn) group, generally enriched only in W but not in Sn is associated with the youngest but volumetrically less abundant I-type (ca. 303–280 Ma) metaluminous magmatism. The relationship of both the Sn-rich and W-(Sn)-rich deposits with the highly peraluminous S-type granites suggest that the ultimate source of the melts is not related to the decoupling between Sn and W. Therefore, the causes of W and Sn separation may be related to late-stage magmatic and magmatic-hydrothermal processes.

The specifics of percussion instruments treatment inthe jazz music from the 1950s

In the center of the author’s attention are the percussion instruments of jazz origin from the 1950s. The purpose of the paper consists in the analysis of the interpretative features developed within two main currents of jazz from this period, namely: West Coast Jazz and East Coast Jazz. The stylistic specificity of the cool style drummers stands out through the restrained way of expression – both in the accompanying and solo fragments. C. Hamilton was one of the first modern drummers who had the courage to abandon the jazz rhythms of the classical period. The performer created distinctive and memorable rhythmic patterns, later using them as accompaniment. Instead of using ride cymbals and high-hats in the accompaniment, C. Hamilton implemented the snare drum or tom-tom as the main voice. Therefore, each piece had individualized rhythmic patterns and its own coloring. The main style of East Coast jazz was hard bop, represented by great drummers such as Philly Joe Jones, Roy Brooks, Louis Hayes, Art Taylor, Roy Haynes, Roger Humphries, Elvin Jones, Lex Humphries, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Mickey Roker, Ben Riley, Jimmy Cobb, Frankie Dunlop, Billy Higgins.

Implementasi Gaya Kepemimpinan Situasional Kepala Sekolah SMKS ST.Nahanson Parapat Sipoholon

Leadership style can be defined as a collection of a person's behavior that aims to change and influence the minds of other people so that they are willing to follow the instructions and directions given. This research is a type of qualitative research that uses a descriptive approach. The aim is to explain and describe information obtained from the field as data in research. The location of this research was at SMKS St. Nahanson Parapat Sipoholon, the research subject is the principal at SMKS St. Nahanson Parapat Sipoholon. The data analysis method used refers to the theory of Miles and Huberman, which consists of several steps as follows: 1). Data Collection: Researchers collect data through interviews, observation and documentation. 2). Data Reduction: Researchers carry out selection returning to the data that has been collected at the data analysis stage. 3). Data Presentation: The reduced data is presented by the researcher at this stage. 4). Drawing Conclusions: Before drawing conclusions, the researcher double-checks the data that has been collected. Leadership is the ability and readiness of an individual to influence, encourage, invite, guide, mobilize, and if necessary force others to act in achieving organizational goals. Situational leadership is a leadership approach in which the leader's behavior is adapted to the varying conditions and situations of each subordinate. Indicators that influence situational leadership include: (a) the telling dimension, where the leader gives clear instructions when assigning; (b) selling dimension, which involves two-way communication between leaders and subordinates; (c) participating dimension, which includes assigning tasks and responsibilities to subordinates and supporting leaders in carrying out these tasks; and (d) the delegation dimension, where the leader gives authority to subordinates to act independently. At St. Mary's Vocational School Nahanson Parapat, the situational approach adapts leader behavior to specific conditions and subordinate needs, with four main styles, namely telling, selling, participating, and delegating. Situational leadership has been implemented with examples of implementation by the Principal practicing a telling approach in exam preparation, using selling in discussing new teaching scheduling, and participating in Prakerin planning. However, the delegating style is less applied because the Principal tends to control all aspects of decisions and tasks. In practice, situational leadership at St. Nahanson Parapat faces several obstacles, including the school environment and staff characteristics, which influence the effectiveness of implementing this leadership style. These obstacles require special strategies to overcome them, so that situational leadership can be more effective and adapt to existing situations, so that organizational goals are achieved optimally.

A Study on the Singing Forms of Western Rock Music Integrating Classical Cultural Elements

Rock and roll is not only a form of music, but also a "attitude and philosophy of life". It is precisely because of this that rock and roll is different from general pop music, and there are various differences between Chinese and Western rock and roll. Rock music has many branches and complex forms. Its main styles include folk rock, art rock, psychedelic rock, Country rock, heavy metal, punk, etc. This article studies the singing forms of Western rock music that integrate classical cultural elements. People who listen to classical music "despise" the "vulgarity" of rock and roll, and people who play rock and roll "dislike" the "affectation" of classical music. These two music styles, which seem to never blend together, always maintain a proud attitude of respecting each other in their respective music culture circles. The extensive use of words with classical cultural elements and cultural imagery in rock music works can allow viewers to develop a sense of closeness and identification with the national essence reflected in the work from an aesthetic psychological perspective, and have a deeper understanding of the ideas expressed in the work.

The pharmaceutical reduction force of the future must not only use accompanying healthcare providers but also connect with conversant and enabled inmates. Building relationships with subjects and providing valuable news for further traditional device analyses will be critical for their benefit. In conclusion, the evolving healthcare landscape is changing the role of the drug sales force

Symeon the New Theologian and The Life of St. Nephon of Constantiane (BHG 1371z)

Abstract The Life of St. Nephon (BHG 1371z) has been written between 970 and 992 and became extremely popular immediately after its publication. Therefore, it could become accessible to Symeon the New Theologian very soon after his conversion to spiritual life. The peculiar combination of ecstatic confessions of abominable sins and the simultaneous confidence in his divine chosenness, characteristic of the Life of Nephon, influenced Symeon and became the main style of self-representation in his writings.

Позиции лидеров – директоров инклюзивных школ: зарубежный дискурс

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Objective. </strong>A review and theoretical analysis of scientific publications on the topic of leadership in an inclusive school and posted on the SpringerLink and Taylor & Francis Group platforms. <br><strong>Background. </strong>After the adoption of the Salamanca Declaration (1994), inclusion occupies an important place on the agenda of educational transformations. Its vector is to find ways to increase the participation and learning of students from socially vulnerable groups and those at risk of exclusion in school and beyond. The scientific relevance of the problem lies in the fact that, despite the importance of leadership in inclusive education, there are critically few works devoted to this topic, especially in Russia. <br><strong>Methodology. </strong>Theoretical analysis of literary sources, analytical and synthetic method of bibliographic search, generalization, method of comparative analysis. <br><strong>Conclusions. </strong>Leadership is seen as a discourse and practice. The article presents the main styles of educational leadership, special attention is paid to the theories of transformational and distributed leadership. The tools of leadership research in inclusive education are described. The position of school principals regarding diversity is one of the determining factors of the success/failure of school inclusion. Leadership style significantly affects the views, behavior, communication of teachers, their self-efficacy, and learning strategies. The attitude of school principals to inclusive education is determined by three groups of factors: 1) related to children (type of disability, for example); 2) related to the environment – cultural, historical and organizational (resources); 3) related to the personality of the director (gender, age, qualifications, inclusive training, self-efficacy, experience, values). The prospects of the research are the development of a theory of inclusive education management based on the integration of transformational and distributed leadership/ The study of the influence of the leadership style of Russian school principals on the attitude of teachers to inclusive education, their teaching strategies.</p>

Stylistic classification of cuneiform signs using convolutional neural networks

Abstract The classification of cuneiform signs according to stylistic criteria is a difficult task, which often leaves experts in the field disagree. This study introduces a new publicly available dataset of cuneiform signs classified according to style and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) approaches to differentiate between cuneiform signs of the two main styles of the first millennium bce, Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian. The CNN model reaches an accuracy of 83 % in style classification. This tool has potential implications for the recognition of individual scribes and the dating of undated cuneiform tablets.

“Peacocks?!” or How James Abbot McNeal Whistler (1834–1903) Redefined Chinoiserie and Patron–Artist Relationship

One of the illustrative examples of the intervention of Chinese art in the formulation of the most important styles of the late 19th – early 20th centuries and its creative tandem with Japanese culture, which was then extremely popular in Europe, is James Whistler’s Peacock Room, the famous masterpiece of aestheticism and “Anglo-Japanese style”. The time has come to reflect on this work not only using several familiar stylistic labels, but also by trying to understand why the famous art style is classified as an Anglo-Japanese style if the key work in the room bears the unambiguous title “Princess from the Land of Porcelain.” The close connections between Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Far Eastern artistic influences are well known, but it makes sense to place Whistler’s masterpiece “Harmony in Blue and Gold: The Peacock Room” within the context of existing since 16th century Orientalistic style and a long-standing (since the 18th century) fascination with China. The main style of the unique work is undoubtedly Chinese (blue and white qinghua-qi vases (青花瓷), the imaginary portrait of a princess from the Land of Porcelain, the general design of the literati’s office (wenfang; 文房) and the golden peacocks themselves, which gave the room its name), but Whistler was also inspired by Japanese landscape engravings long before Monet and Van Gogh, even imitating the works of Hokusai and Hiroshige. Having analyzed the influences and history of the room, the author concludes that it should not be inertly attributed to the Anglo-Chinese style, but the concept of “Neo-Chinoiserie” should be introduced.

Geology, fluid inclusions and C−O−S−Pb isotopic compositions of the Chahmileh Pb-Zn deposit, Central Iran: Implications for ore genesis

AbstractThe Chahmileh Pb–Zn deposit, located northwest of the Central Iran Zone, is a sediment-hosted Pb–Zn deposit in the ‘Yazd-Anarak Metallogenic Belt’. It is hosted in Middle Triassic carbonate rocks and is mainly controlled by NW-trending faults. The main ore minerals are galena and sphalerite with minor chalcopyrite, pyrite, and quartz, dolomite, along with minor calcite and baryte as gangue minerals. Cerussite, hemimorphite, wulfenite, mimetite, smithsonite, malachite and iron oxy-hydroxides are the main non-sulphide ore minerals. The main styles of mineralization are vein-veinlet, breccia, disseminated and replacement in association with silicification and dolomitization. Microthermometry of fluid inclusions in dolomite and quartz indicates that the ore precipitated from a warm to hot basin-derived saline fluid. Dolomite samples have δ13CVPDB and δ18OVSMOW values of −0.99 to +1.99‰ and +20.74 to +25.48‰, respectively, and are plotted in the marine carbonate rocks field. These isotopic values suggest that CO2 in the hydrothermal fluids mainly originated from marine carbonate rock. The δ34S values range from +6.3 to +8.2‰ for galena, +5.9 to +6.2‰ for sphalerite, +1.4 to +3.4‰ for chalcopyrite and +15.0 to +17.4‰ for bayite are compatible with a predominant thermochemical sulphate reduction process, and with sulphur sourced from Triassic seawater. Galena samples have a homogeneous Pb isotopic composition that is indicative of a continental crustal reservoir as the main source of lead and probably for the other ore metals. Based on geology, mineralogy, texture and fluid characteristics, the Chahmileh deposit is classified as a carbonate-hosted Mississippi Valley-type deposit.

Analysis of the Artistic Characteristics of Literati Paintings

As a unique form of Chinese traditional painting, literati painting has its own distinctive features and far-reaching influence compared with other schools. Through the combination of literati painting with nature, personal feelings and social environment, it expresses the unique artistic style and unique aesthetic concept. At the same time, the literati paintings also reflect the extensive knowledge and noble sentiment of the Chinese literati and officialdom, and carry a wealth of historical and cultural connotations. It is believed that the active study and inheritance of literati paintings will promote the development and innovation of Chinese painting and contribute more wonderful works and ideas to the art world. This article through to the literati painting origin, the main style characteristic and the creation theme thorough analysis, demonstrated the literati painting in the Chinese traditional painting unique status and the importance.

전서와 행초서의 혼융체(渾融體)로 표현되는 새로운 서예 장르

The four main styles of Chinese calligraphy characters are in the general order of their appearance: seal script, clerical script, regular script, and cursive­semi­cursive script. Generally, all the characters in a calligraphic art work have a consistent type of script. In this paper, we develop a new genre of calligraphy art, in which the components constituting one character are expressed into the seal script and cursive­semi­cursive script, which is a fusion of the two scripts.
 The fusion of these scripts brings forth various aesthetic characteristics by greatly expanding the formativeness of the scripts. This fusion script maintains the aesthetic characteristics of each of the two scripts, and in combined form, it shows its own diverse yet unique aesthetic aspects.
 The calligraphic art work in this fusion script genre inherits the artistry in both of the seal script genre and the cursive­or­semi­cursive script genre. Furthermore, as a synergy effect of the two genres, it has infinite potential artistry and displays an inspiringly profound and rich yet unique artistic atmosphere and inspiration.

Georgian universities as business entities are faced with new reality provoked by Covid-19. Distance learning became accompanying part of teaching as providing service to students. It is a challenge for university administrations to provide quality service and education and on the other hand, create pleasant working conditions for lecturers to perform uninterruptedly. This article identifies the challenges that arise from changes around the world and also offers few recommendations for managers/ administrations to manage their human resources effectively while telecommuting. 21st century is an era of changing environments and the progress is made in every field. The world is changing at a mile in a minute due to globalization, technological development, consumer habit changes, process reviews, pressure from new business entrants and competitors arising out of nowhere, focus on benefits and etc. These driving factors make us to be more changeable and adaptive to the current events. Popular directions of evolution and surviving, such as Darwinism, turned into one rule (simple and difficult at the same time) – if you want to survive, you need to change. Everything around us develops rapidly. This process has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic has changed lifestyle, work and education style. While the whole world found itself surrounded by restrictions and limitations, the quality of life should have been stayed the same. Therefore, everything including education system has moved to a remote setup. Education system has a substantial impact on country’s economy and Georgia is part of this scheme. Since education plays a huge role in development, it is crucial to maintain the quality of distance learning. Covid-19 virus has covered enormous scales and has changed the daily lifestyle of the whole world. While the countries were under lockdown, they had to adapt an alternative working style, which is telecommuting. Working from distance became the main style of working which has covered all business units, including universities. At the current time, many researches have been carried out and many scientific literatures explaining telecommuting as a working practice. The number of universities that offer students online classes are growing fast. It is interesting how university’s administration manages their human resources on distance, because in a new reality it is a challenge. Communication between the employees and their supervisors is another important aspect that has significant effect of whole distance learning process. As it is known, communication and feedback are crucial for job satisfaction and performance of the employees. However, the type of personality plays a role in the telecommuting process and the satisfaction of the telecommuter, which is supported by the need of strong communication. For some people face-to-face communication is the most effective way to do their job. University administration should provide the same amount of feedback to lecturers that work from distance as for the lecturers who teaches at university. Problem of communication, feedback and lack of face-to-face interactions are solved by using modern technologies, such as video calls, conferences, classes and etc. However, this partly eliminates the issue, because lack of face-to-face communication remains one of the problematic topics and to overcome it, is a challenge for administrations. To sum up the discussion, it is without the doubt that by different kind of factors telecommuting is now the part of our daily life and organizations, especially higher educational organizations must have well-prepared procedures and tools to manage distance working process effectively. As we mentioned, to get higher education is one of the main priorities for many countries, because it educated people and labor force create and maintain strong economy. That is why higher education system should be in the center of attention in every aspect.

Geophysical investigation of the Mado Megamullion oceanic core complex: implications for the end of back-arc spreading

Detachment faulting is one of the main styles of seafloor spreading at slow to intermediate mid-ocean ridges. However, we have limited insight into its role in back-arc basin formation. We surveyed a remnant back-arc spreading center in the Philippine Sea and determined the detailed features and formation processes of the Mado Megamullion (Mado MM) oceanic core complex (OCC). This was undertaken in the context of back-arc evolution, based on the shipborne bathymetry, magnetics, and gravity with radiometric age dating of the rock samples collected. The Mado MM OCC has a typical OCC morphology with prominent corrugations on the domed surface and positive gravity anomalies, suggesting that there has been an exposure of the lower crust and mantle materials by a detachment fault. The downdip side of the detachment continues to the relict axial rift valley, which has indicated that the Mado MM OCC was formed at the end of the back-arc basin opening. The spreading rate of the basin decreased once when the spreading direction changed after six million years of stable trench perpendicular spreading. The rate then further decreased immediately prior to the end of the spreading when the Mado MM OCC was formed. The existence of other OCC-like structures in the neighboring segment and the previously reported OCCs along the Parece Vela Rift have indicated that the melt-poor, tectonic-dominant spreading is a widespread phenomenon at the terminal phase of back-arc spreading. The decrease in spreading rate in the later stage is consistent with the previous numerical modeling because of the decrease in trench retreat. In the Izu–Bonin–Mariana arc trench system, the rotation of the spreading axis and the resultant axis segmentation have enhanced the lithosphere cooling and constrained mantle upwelling, which caused the tectonic-dominant spreading at the final phase of the basin evolution.

The Intersection of Equity Pedagogy and Technology Integration in Preservice Teacher Education: A Scoping Review

Teacher education programs play a crucial role in developing teachers’ equity/social justice mindsets and technology integration knowledge and expertise. Scholars have advocated for merging these two areas to support common curricular goals and access unique learning benefits. However, little is known about how equity pedagogy and technology integration intersect in preservice teacher (PST) education. This scoping review aims to expand knowledge and understanding at this intersection with the goal of developing a foundation for future research and practice. Findings revealed that relevant studies focused on two main styles of pedagogy: (a) leveraging technology to teach about equity and social justice (i.e., tech-infused equity pedagogy), and (b) adopting a critical stance toward technology’s roles in schools and society (i.e., digital equity pedagogy). We provide a detailed description of these pedagogies and present useful systems of classification for related studies. We also present key implications of this work for PST education practice, policy, and scholarship.

Accelerated role of exogenous riboflavin in selective Desulfovibrio desulfuricans corrosion of pipeline welded joints

Effect of exogenous riboflavin on sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) corrosion of a spirally welded joint (WJ) of X80 steel was investigated by SEM/EDS, XPS, 3D ultra-depth microscopy and electrochemical measurements. The main style of SRB corrosion of the WJ is local corrosion. The local corrosion sensitivity of the heating affected zone (HAZ) of the WJ was always lower than that of the weld zone (WZ) and base metal (BM) in all the SRB-inoculated mediums. SRB corrosion of the WJ is selective. With the dosage increase of riboflavin, the selective pitting corrosion of the WJ becomes more pronounced.

Picturing food: the visual style of teen-targeted food marketing

PurposeDespite the pervasiveness of teen-targeted food advertising on social media, little is known about the persuasive elements (or power) found within those ads. This research study aims to engage with the concept of “visual style” to explore the range of visual techniques used in Instagram food marketing to teenagers.Design/methodology/approachA participatory study was conducted with 57 teenagers, who used a specially designed mobile app to capture images of the teen-targeted food marketing they encountered for seven days. A visual thematic analysis was used to assess and classify the advertisements that participants captured from Instagram and specifically tagged with “visual style”.FindingsA total of 142 food advertisements from Instagram were tagged with visual style, and classified into five main styles: Bold Focus, Bespoke, Absurd, Everyday and Sensory.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to an improved understanding about how the visual is used as a marketing technique to capture teenagers’ attention, contributing to the persuasive power of marketing messages.Originality/valueFood marketing is a significant part of the young consumer’s marketplace, and this study provides new insight into the sophisticated nature of such marketing – revealing the visual styles used to capture the attention of its brand-aware audience.

A comparative study of Fourier transform and CycleGAN as domain adaptation techniques for weed segmentation

Automatic weed identification is becoming increasingly important in the Precision Agriculture field as a fundamental capability for targeted spraying or mechanical weed destruction. Targeted weed elimination reduces herbicides' use and thus lowers the environmental impact of treatments. Convolutional Neural Networks are one of the most successful techniques to automatically detect weeds on RGB images. Such models require a high amount of labeled data to obtain satisfying detection performance. The agricultural context presents a high degree of variability, and it is thus unfeasible to expect a representative dataset for each specific condition that can appear in the fields. Domain Adaptation techniques are exploited to maintain high detection performance in different field conditions, lowering the need for labeled data. This study presents a comparison of the two main style transfer techniques for performing domain adaptation, that is, the Fourier Transform and the CycleGAN architecture. We used these techniques to reduce the domain gap in two use cases: one with images collected by different robots with different cameras and another with images collected by the same platform in different years. We show how, in the first case, the CycleGAN architecture attains satisfying performance and beats the simpler Fourier Transform. Instead, in the second case, all the tested DA techniques struggle to reach baseline performance. We also show how introducing a loss based on phase discrepancy in the CycleGAN architecture stabilizes the training and improves the performance. Moreover, we release a new dataset of labeled agricultural images and the code of our experiments for the reproducibility of the results and comparison with future works.
