Simulation Analysis of Gas Bubble Formation and Escape in Non-Newtonian Drilling Fluids by Xinxin Zhao, Xiangzhen Yan, Hongwei Jiang, Guang Yang, Jintang Wang, Xiaohui Sun, Yonghai Gao, Faling Yin

“…This is because the shear disturbance of a bubble to its surrounding fluid during its growth and escape, caused by the shear thinning of a yield-power-law fluid, reduces the fluid viscosity. The shear thinning decreases, and the resistance to the bubble increases as the flow behavior index approaches 1, leading to larger bubble formation times and separation volumes. …”

Mitigating the implementation of SDGs program no. 13 in Indonesia: An overview of social dynamics and local wisdom by Negara Anita Puspita, Ariza Irena Sulistya, Nurjaya Luh Asri Ningsih Widhi, Ubaidillah Moh. Farich, Wijaya Rama, Lestari Vissia Poppy Puspita, Saputro Erwan Adi, Sukirmiyadi, Nurherdiana Silvana Dwi

“…Findings highlight that while local wisdom-based practices like “Tri Hita Karana” and customary land-use regulations are effective in mitigating environmental damage, scaling these approaches across diverse communities remains a challenge. Additionally, law enforcement against forest burning, coupled with traditional restorative justice, has shown promise in reducing environmental degradation. …”

Muslim Bank as a Historical Category: Creating Credit Institutions for Muslims In the First Half of the 20 ^th Century by R. I. Bekkin

“…After the countries of Asia gained independence, Muslim banks were transformed into ordinary national banks.The activities of Muslim banks are considered in the article against the background of discussions on the admissibility of loan-based banking operations in the context of the prohibition of usury (riba) in Islamic law. The article emphasizes that Muslim banks in their activities relied on the theological and legal conclusions (fatwas) of Islamic scholars who considered such activities legitimate and not falling under the Quranic concept of usury.The author adheres to the point of view that the creation of an independent state or nationalterritorial / national-cultural autonomy of Muslims was a natural result of the struggle of the Muslim bourgeoisie with competitors for the markets for goods and services in a number of countries and regions, considering both Muslim and Islamic banks only as a certain stage in the development of banking in a number of countries in Asia, Africa and Europe.The article disputes the idea that both Islamic banks and the Islamic economic model as a whole are monolithic structures that cannot be modified. …”

Polarization modes of gravitational waves in scalar-tensor-Rastall theory by Yu-Zhi Fan, Xiao-Bin Lai, Yu-Qi Dong, Yu-Xiao Liu

“…Abstract Rastall theory, originally introduced in 1972, suggests a violation of the usual conservation law. We consider two generalizations of Rastall theory: Brans–Dicke–Rastall theory and the newly established scalar-tensor-Rastall theory, the latter being a further generalization of the former. …”

Effect of Mining Thickness on Overburden Movement and Underground Pressure Characteristics for Extrathick Coal Seam by Sublevel Caving with High Bottom Cutting Height by Yongkang Yang, Yanrong Ma, Chunxu Ji, Tianhe Kang, Xingyun Guo

“…Some conclusions can be drawn as follows: (i) under the “beam-hinged cantilever beam rocks” structure theory, the rock pillar thickness which needs to be controlled increases linearly as a function of mining thickness is achieved, and the reason of increased of support resistance in full-mechanized caving mining in extremely thick seams is explained in the theory; (ii) based on the results of the theoretical analysis and the lab simulation tests, the law of the abutment pressure peak is inverse to the full-seam mining thickness, and the distance between abutment peak and working face is proportional to the full-seam mining thickness, that is to say that the damage range of overlying strata increased; (iii) there are three working states of loading support in extrathick coal seams, such as normal circumstance, lower main roof pressure, and higher main roof pressure, meanwhile these states keep changing; (iv) under the guarantee of stope safety conditions, due to lower support strength, it will benefit the special thick seam top-coal caving under normal circumstance; (v) increasing the supporting strength can balance the impact loading under the lower main roof pressure, guaranteeing valid support for roof strata; (vi) by releasing high pressure, due to lower production, lower recovery rate of coal and other measures guarantee the stability of the stope support in the case of the higher main roof pressure.…”

A theory of change to improve conservation outcomes through CITES by Daniel W. S. Challender, Daniel W. S. Challender, Michael ’t Sas-Rolfes, Michael ’t Sas-Rolfes, Michael ’t Sas-Rolfes, Steven Broad, E. J. Milner-Gulland, E. J. Milner-Gulland

“…Although achieving success in various ways, CITES is proving ineffective at deterring illegal and/or unsustainable exploitation of many listed species for international trade, which we attribute to implementation and compliance issues and the Convention’s design, including a principal focus on deterrence through state-led law enforcement. Informed by this analysis we develop a modified ToC which could support more effective implementation of CITES. …”
