Timing of the deformation in the Gondwanide orogeny: A structural and geochemical shift from syn- to post-tectonic magmatism recorded in the Permian Mamil Choique granitoids, Patagonia

The Sierra de Mamil Choique calc-alkaline granite batholith, covering an area of 320 km2, serves as the key reference for Late Paleozoic magmatism in central-west Patagonia. It comprises I-type weakly to mildly peraluminous tonalites to granites (59.6–75.7%SiO2) displaying various deformational features. This paper presents a micro- and mesostructural study alongside temperature-pressure (T-P) constraints coupled with U-Pb zircon crystallization ages, as well as Ar-Ar and K-Ar mica ages, and mineral and whole-rock geochemistry. The older units (288 ± 1 Ma Cerro Mojón Monzogranite and 281 ± 2 Ma Huenchuquil Granodiorite), exhibit syn-kinematic banding and strong NW-SE foliation showing a transition from magmatic-sub magmatic to high-T subsolidus deformational features, such as parallel alignment of magmatic minerals, sub magmatic fractures, melt pockets, and chessboard subgrains in quartz. Quartz recrystallization by grain boundary migration is also observed. These microstructures developed concurrently with the regional D3 event that affected the Devonian metamorphic host. Their crystallization started at 8 Kbar and ∼ 790 °C within a thickened crust (LaN/YbN = 13–15, average). In contrast, the younger units (278 ± 2 Ma; Nahuelfil and Antinao Monzogranites) exhibit mainly magmatic deformation and display a NE-SW parallel alignment of mostly subhedral K-feldspar. A D4 deformation younger than 278 Ma, with a sigma 1 NW-SE (in plain view- horizontal) would have controlled the emplacement of Nahuelfil and Antinao Monzogranites. Younger zircon ages (ca 265 Ma) in the 278 Ma monzogranites would result from resetting due to the magmatic-hydrothermal alteration associated with the later magmatic pulse of leucogranites and pegmatites of the 267 ± 8 Ma (Rb-Sr WR isochron) La Pintada Leucogranites. These leucogranites were emplaced in an already thinner crust (LaN/YbN = 2.6 average). The latest magmatic activity is represented by two groups of pegmatitic bodies one from 265 ± 6 to 257 ± 3 Ma and a younger one of ca. 252–251 Ma (Ar-Ar and K-Ar muscovite cooling ages). All units share a common mafic source, but the younger units crystallized from melts at lower pressure and temperature (748–725 °C). The magmatism, involving crustal recycling, occurred at an active margin during a stage of thickened crust from 290 to 280 Ma, followed by gradual thinning after 280 Ma. This change in crustal thickness fits models proposing a continuous Permian subduction with a variable dip angle of the subducted slab along the southwestern margin of Gondwana.

Hiding in plain view: religiosity and patronage in the works of William Dugdale

ABSTRACT This paper considers the religious sympathies and motivations of the antiquary William Dugdale, and of some of those who helped support the publication of his works through patronage of their engraved plates. It examines in particular a series of nineteen costume plates illustrating Catholic religious habits, which feature in Dugdale’s co-authored Monasticon Anglicanum (1655–73) and (with an element of duplication) in his Antiquities of Warwickshire (1656). The patrons of these plates are for the most part not openly named, but can in certain cases be identified through their coats of arms: at least two (Thomas Yate and Miles Stapleton) were themselves Catholic, and another (Wingfield Bodenham) appears to have been sympathetic to Catholicism.

Strange/Queer Temporalities in Jackie Kay’s Trumpet

This study explores the strange/queer temporalities in Jackie Kay’s novel Trumpet and investigates how transgender experiences and narratives can effectively subvert the prevailing view of time as a linear and normative concept. Taking the initial cue from Sara Ahmed’s concept of “Queer Vandalism”, which underscores marginalised identities’ deliberate resistance against societal constructs, the study centres on Kay’s protagonist, Joss Moody, a transgender jazz trumpeter, and examines the tension between individual identity and societal conformity in relation to time. Diverging from mainstream representations of transgender individuals, which often risk pathologising their experiences, Kay’s novel vividly illustrates how Joss Moody defies norms by living as a man while biologically female, bringing into plain view societal reactions when his female body is posthumously revealed. A special emphasis is placed on the transformative role of Jazz in Joss’s self-reconstruction and temporal liberation. The article concludes with a discussion of the novel genre’s capacity to venture into unconventional temporal dimensions and disrupt normative narratives.

Stimulus awareness is necessary for both instrumental learning and instrumental responding to previously learned stimuli

Instrumental conditioning is a crucial part of adaptive behaviour, allowing agents to selectively interact with stimuli in their environment. Recent evidence suggests that instrumental conditioning cannot proceed without stimulus awareness. However, whether accurate unconscious instrumental responding can emerge from consciously acquired knowledge of the stimulus-action-outcome contingencies is unknown. We studied this question using instrumental trace conditioning, where participants learned to make approach/avoid decisions in two within-subject modes: conscious (stimuli in plain view) and unconscious (visually masked). Both tasks were followed by an unconscious-only instrumental performance task. We show that even when the contingencies are reliably learned in the conscious mode, participants fail to act upon them in the unconscious responding task. We also replicate the previous results that no instrumental learning occurs in the unconscious mode. Consequently, the absence of stimulus awareness not only precludes instrumental conditioning, but also precludes any kind of instrumental responding to already known stimuli. This suggests that instrumental behaviour is entirely supported by conscious awareness of the world, and corroborates the proposals that consciousness may be necessary for adaptive behaviours requiring selective action.

No Country for Old Men: Australian Art History’s Difficulty with Aboriginal Art

The subject of this article is the absence of Aboriginal art during the period that established the idea of a distinctively Australian modern art. It is intended as a contribution to the historiography of modern and contemporary Australian art history. The period discussed is the two decades between 1962, when Bernard Smith published Australian Painting, 1788–1960, and 1988, the year of the Australian Bicentenary. The article explores what changed in these years when art historians, critics, and curators, albeit belatedly and reluctantly, finally began to acknowledge the great contemporary Aboriginal painting that had long been in many artists’ sights as inspiration and model, and in plain view on display in the so-called primitive cultures’ sections of state museums. It argues that this was because it did not seem part of the national story of art.

The Probable Revolution

Abstract On April 25, 1974, everyday Portuguese citizens transformed a military coup into collective popular resistance, thus initiating a revolutionary process that marked an end to the Estado Novo. Image-makers, aware of the historical event unraveling in plain view, occupied public plazas and roamed city avenues to document a popular uprising that marked a clear end to Portugal’s Fascist project. In this impetus to record radical change, film and its associated technologies promised not only to document, capture, and freeze history in the making but also to make it material, to transform the push and pull of the revolutionary project into something that could be preserved and kept. The article questions the notion that digitization produces a straightforward dematerialization of the analogue print by proposing the concept of digital (im)materiality. This (im)materiality, it argues, not only allows the transformation of revolutionary images into heritage but also makes possible their (re)activation in ways that both speak to the past and reinvent the future. Attending to the (im)materiality of Portuguese militant cinema makes it possible to approach these images not as texts to be interpreted but as social artifacts through which meaning, knowledge, and memories are made. Following Morgan Adamson’s call to consider how “images of resistance endure” and how “enduring images resist,” the article traces the (im)materiality of Portugal’s revolutionary filmic images with the aim of thinking across temporalities. So while, on one hand. the text unpacks how images of the Portuguese Revolution were produced and, subsequently, transformed into heritage, it also reflects on the author’s own engagement with the Revolution’s visual archives and her co-direction of the film essay A revolução (é) provável (The Revolution [Is] Probable, 2022), where splicing, cutting, and juxtaposing digitized images makes it possible to interrogate the material texture of history while also producing other forms or knowledge and knowing.

Due to high consumer demand, some traders use the high price of meat to make a profit by mixing pork and buffalo meat. Some consumers are not aware of this, because in plain view buffalo meat with pork meat is difficult to distinguish, especially for some ordinary people. This action is very detrimental and disturbing the local community, especially Muslims. At present, technological advances in the field of digital image processing are increasing rapidly, especially in food products. In general, this research was conducted in 2 (three) stages. The first stage, namely the stage of image data collection of pork and buffalo meat. The second stage, namely the classification of pork and buffalo meat images using image histogram analysis and the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) method based on the color and texture of the meat. In this study using the Red Green Blue (RGB) color image method and GLCM texture extraction, namely contrast, homogeneity, energy, and correlation. The study was conducted using 20 samples of meat images (10 images of pork and 10 images of buffalo meat, respectively). Based on the results of the research that has been done, it was found that the image of buffalo meat has a higher percentage value of the Red (R) color component when compared to the pork image, whereas the percentage value of the Green (G) and Blue (B) color components is lower when compared to the image pork. Then, if the value between pixels is not homogeneous (small homogeneity value), then the contrast value is large, and vice versa if the value between pixels is homogeneous (large homogeneity value) then the contrast value is small. The image of buffalo meat has a small homogeneity value compared to the image of pork, so the variation in intensity (contrast) in the image of buffalo meat is high.

Hidden in plain view: Indigenous early career researchers' experiences and perceptions of racism in Australian universities

ABSTRACT Despite extensive impact studies over the past two decades documenting the insipid and debilitating health, social, and emotional impacts of racism on Indigenous peoples in Australia, racism remains a key factor impacting negatively on the lives of Indigenous Australians at all levels of education. Racism experienced by Indigenous early career researchers is much-neglected area of research to date: the aim of this paper is to force a conversation about the prevalence of institutional racism in the higher education sector through an examination of the impact of racism on the experiences and career trajectories of Indigenous early career researchers in Australian universities. We challenge the day-to-day perceptions of normalcy where the Whiteness of the institution goes unnoticed and make clear that claiming ignorance does not absolve the individual or the institution of accountability. Although grounded in Australian experiences of institutional racism in higher education, the study has global significance to other relationally-like colonised nations. International literature highlights racism is imbricated across the Pan-Pacific nations; this is laid bared by the recounting of Australian Indigenous experiences and perceptions.

PENGAMANAN DATA DIGITAL MENGGUNAKAN TEKNIK INTEGER WAVELET TRANSFORM DAN LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT

AbstractData is an asset for all parties. So that it must always be guarded or secured so that it is not misused by irresponsible parties. One of the methods used for data security is steganography. In this paper, efforts to secure data are discussed through the development of steganographic algorithms using the Haar integer wavelet transform (IWT-Haar) and least significant bit (LSB) techniques to hide secret messages in the form of digital text into digital images (cover images) to produce stego images. The results show that the extracting process is much faster than the embedding process. The PSNR values obtained ranged from 55-71,5 dB (far greater than 40 dB). This shows that the resulting stego image is of very good quality. In plain view, the difference between the cover image and the stego image has not changed significantly.Key words: digital image, embedding, extraction, Haar integer wavelet transform, steganographyÂ

Hiding in plain view: An historical perspective on the study of morality in personality psychology.

We aim to identify the major ideas and trends in the study of morality within personality psychology over the past 100 years. Our historical review is organized into three sections, examining moral dimensions in personality from the standpoints of the person as (1) a social actor (moral traits), (2) a motivated agent (the mental infrastructure of morality), and (3) an autobiographical author (moral life stories). Within the field of personality psychology, a great deal of research into morality has been hiding for decades in plain view. Accordingly, we trace the history of research on socialization and instrumental competence, altruism, moral traits and virtues, the dimensions of morality inherent in the authoritarian personality, personal values, moral reasoning, moral intuitions, and the life stories constructed by people who have distinguished themselves for moral excellence, as evidenced in extraordinary bravery, compassion, or generativity. In a multitude of ways, human beings express and experience individual differences in their moral engagement of the world, all of which fall within the purview of personality psychology.

Covertvasion: Depicting threats through covert channels based novel evasive attacks in android

Privacy and security issues concerning mobile devices have substantial consequences for individuals, groups, governments, and businesses. The Android operating system bolsters smartphone data protection by imposing restrictions on app behavior. Nevertheless, attackers conduct systematic resource analyses and divert privacy-sensitive information from plain view. They employ evasive mechanisms to evade system monitoring and create an illusion of benign and non-sensitive communication. Furthermore, covert channels amplify the impact of these malicious activities by facilitating information transfer through non-standard methods. The purpose of this research is to shed light on these novel threats targeting Android systems. The study delves into security and privacy attacks that compromise sensitive user information. The methodology leverages evasion concepts and employs sound-specific covert channel communication, particularly ultrasonic channels. This research work introduces novel evasive attacks, namely Prime-Composite Evasive Information Invasion (PCEII) and File-lock-based Evasive Information Invasion (FEII), both relying on covert channel communication. These unique variants of attacks successfully evade user data within a few milliseconds for both noisy as well as non-noisy environments and do not show any signs of detection by antivirus mechanisms like Anti-Virus Guard (AVG), 360 security, etc. and state-of-the-art tools such as TaintDroid, MockDroid and others. The paper not only assesses their impact on the privacy and security of information but also introduces avenues for their detection and mitigation.

Two cases of pneumomediastinum in full-term newborns after uncomplicated vaginal deliveries: Various etiologies and radiographic appearances

Pnemomediastinum is defined as the presence of aberrant air in the mediastinum, also known as mediastinal emphysema. Significant pneumomediastinum is rare, particularly in term neonates. It is usually related to the different predisposing factors such as birth injury, meconium aspiration, assisted ventilation or infectious diseases although it may occur idiopathically. Pneumomediastinum is one of the important causes of respiratory distress syndrome that should not be overlook in term neonates. The elevation of thymic lobes off the heart on plain view and the presence of retrosternal air collection on lateral view are crucial signs on chest x-rays that need to be assessed cautiously by radiologists and neonatologists. We report two cases of pneumomediastinum in term infants who presented with respiratory distress. One case was diagnosed as pneumomediastinum and assisted ventilation was supposed as a predisposing factor, the other case was diagnosed as spontaneous pneumomediastinum without underlying lung disease or predisposing factors. The definitive diagnosis was made by combination plain and lateral chest x-rays without further imaging method was required. Both patients received conservative treatment with close observation clinically and radiologically and were discharged after several days in good condition.

A new era in teaching: how advanced optical recording technology could change the postcesarean delivery complication conundrum

The last 4 decades have seen increased complications after cesarean deliveries. Despite an incomplete understanding of their etiology, surgical practices have been adopted, creating disproportionate morbidity and the absence of preventive strategies. Additional research tools are needed for further investigation. This study aimed to evaluate the VITOM high-definition optical recording system as a tool to highlight cesarean operative steps and surgical techniques and assess the use of its video recordings for operating room team teaching and research potential. Contemporaneous cesarean delivery techniques offer no resolution to long-term postcesarean sequelae. From March 2015 to February 2022, a novel tool, VITOM exoscope, was evaluated and used to photograph and video record 104 elective cesarean deliveries. The images were projected on a large screen to be viewed by scrubbed-in and unscrubbed personnel and recorded for future use. During this period, staff participants in 3 designated operating rooms reached 514, including 168 trainee residents, 5 nurse practitioners, 6 physician assistants, 21 medical students, 70 surgical technicians, and 110 circulating nurses. The maternal ages of patients varied from 21 to 49 years. Gestational ages ranged from 28 0/7 to 41 6/7 weeks of gestation. Selected photographs of crucial cesarean surgical steps were taken and printed. Video recordings were stored in designated institutional data storage and uploaded onto a secure drive for further use. After every case, debriefing was held, and subjective opinions were obtained from the various participants. The VITOM was used for 104 cesarean deliveries. Setup time was reduced from 7 minutes initially to 3 minutes with more experience. All staff participants had only positive evaluations and remarks about the image quality and the clear delineation of specific anatomic landmarks. By polling medical students and residents in training, the VITOM experience was described as very useful and, in a few cases, only somewhat useful. The scrubbed surgical technicians and circulating nurses gained a better understanding of surgical layers, improving their ability to anticipate subsequent surgical steps, thereby streamlining operating flow and efficiency. Unscrubbed personnel could also follow the operation's progression despite being remote from the sterile field. Anesthesiologists could follow the operative field and eventual blood loss in plain view. Recorded videos and still photographs were used at clinical teaching conferences and in peer-reviewed publications, enhancing understanding of cesarean delivery techniques. The VITOM exoscope provided superb image quality, enabling a clear vision of the anatomic structures of the cesarean operation. It is a promising additional research tool to capture important details of the employed surgical techniques and provides a possible insight into long-term postcesarean sequelae.

Investigating the Effect of Brand Personality, Awareness and Experience on Purchase Intention

A brand is a symbol that becomes a marker and a differentiator between one product and another. In plain view, brands also provide references for consumers to mark whether a product is classy or not, encouraging consumer behavior to make purchase intentions. Whether engaged in the production of goods or services, a company's success cannot be separated from the role of the brand that has been built for a long time. This study aims to determine how much of a contribution brand personality, brand awareness, and brand experience make to purchase intention. The research design uses a causal quantitative approach. For the acquisition of research data using an online questionnaire distribution instrument. The sample used in the study was 450 respondents. To examine the effect of brand personality, brand awareness, and brand experience on purchase intention, a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach using partial least squares (PLS) is used. Following the results of research data analysis, it shows that brand personality and brand experience significantly affect purchase intention. In addition, the study results also show that brand awareness does not affect purchase intention.

Life, Labor, and a Coolie Picturesque in Jamaica

Although the signs of Indo-Jamaican and Afro-Jamaican cohabitation are present in a late-nineteenth-century photographic archive, the visual power of an imperial picturesque obscures the evidence that exists in plain view. The illusion of self-contained villages of imported Indian workers that photographs create is informed by even as it reinforces a colonial order of racial segregation. By identifying the photographic traces of Indians’ indentureship, this essay introduces time and motion into still photography that reduces Indian lives to single ethnographic instances. It also deploys dougla—the name for people of mixed Indian and African descent who exist as a “flaw” in the British colonial hierarchy of race—as a critical lens for exposing photographic flaws that rupture the smooth surface of the picturesque in ethnographic tableaux of “coolies” and Orientalizing portraits of “coolie belles.”

Penerapan Algoritma Convolutional Neural Network Arsitektur ResNet-50 untuk Klasifikasi Citra Daging Sapi dan Babi

Meat is one of the food ingredients needed by humans. The price of pork is cheaper than beef, which has led to the practice of mixing beef with pork for the purpose of making big profits. In plain view, the difference between beef and pork is not striking, so it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between them. In terms of color, pork is paler than beef. In terms of texture, beef is stiffer and tougher than pork. In terms of fiber, beef is clearer than pork, so we need a system that can identify the two types of meat. This study uses the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm with the ResNet-50 architecture with 3 types of optimizers such as Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Adam, and RMSprop. The dataset used for training first goes through 2 stages of preprocessing, namely cropping and resizing. The results of the study show that the SGD optimizer can outperform the Adam and RMSprop optimizers with 97.83% accuracy, 97% precision, 97% recall, and 97% f1 score with batch size 32, learning rate 0.01, and epoch 50.

In plain view: Gender in the work of women healthcare chaplains.

In sociological studies of religion and chaplaincy, there is little research on how gender plays a role in structural inequalities and experiences of women chaplains. Through research on the work of women chaplains in public healthcare in Vancouver (Canada) and London (England) this qualitative study revealed that while they have opportunities for leadership and ministry in chaplaincy, they are often on the margins of the religious institutions they are affiliated with and the secular medical organisations that employ them. Simultaneously, they confront the social structuring of gender and race that can affect them being overlooked. By applying a lived religion and feminist intersectional analysis, this research focuses on an area of study that has received scant attention.

Locked down? Speaking from the shadows and silence for survival

AbstractI write to speak of silencing and the suffering of survivors of domestic abuse in the family courts of England and Wales and the struggle to find a voice to articulate the hardship faced in this lockdown through court. It has taken the whole period of lockdown to find the words, the courage to keep writing, even as tears stream down my face, even as I sit in a virtual court hearing, even as my voice breaks as I fight to be heard. This text is a glimpse into a world that is hidden in plain view, where I will share fragments of my lived experience. I am scared to write but know I speak or am lost in the silent void that I have known for too long. Domestic abuse and the taboo around it screams at me to remain unseen, hidden, and invisible. I keep returning to find the words, as the very real cost of not naming the violence and reaching out to speak through it is too high. The fragmented account that follows is a raw telling of living life through the court system; it is written to share a voice that was unheard in the family law court and has been minimized, side‐lined, ordered, and silenced through 3 years of the court journey and the embodied effects this has had. It moves between space and time to show a journey endured. Can you hear me? Will you bear witness?

Augmented Reality in the Field of Health, Travel & Tourism During Covid-19 Pandemic

The outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is causing havoc all across the globe with its impact spread across all spheres of life, be it health or society or economy. With self-centered expanded reality (AR) use expanding lately, the usage of this innovation has a potential intending to wellbeing correspondence and conduct intercessions challenges. Though AR innovation layers computerized content onto this present reality self-centered AR outwardly expands oneself, layering advanced substance onto oneself. One development engaging conceited AR is video channels, which superimpose PC made content onto a client using their web or cell telephone camera ( Snap chat Lenses and AR impacts on Instagram. For instance, Snapchat's Time Machine AR focal point transforms a client's appearance to show what the client may resemble at various ages. Savvy reflects, another self-centered AR innovation, join advanced screens (eg, a LCD [liquid-gem display] screen) with cloudy glass. A savvy reflect looks and capacities correspondingly to a conventional mirror yet with advanced substance showed in the forefront. Certifiable utilizations of savvy mirrors are in plain view in vehicles, changing areas, and home exercise centres. For instance, the MIRROR home recs centre presentations wellness guidance layered on top of the client's appearance. Both AR video channels and savvy mirrors give new freedoms to showing wellbeing conduct correspondence to the general population.
