Full textAbstract:
The 2022 field season (January 23 – February 23) turned out to be very productive: we managed to clarify the history of Dogon migrations from the Mande Country to the Bandiagara Highlands. We received quite complete information on the prophet Abirɛ, who predicted the return of Dogon to their historical homeland and completely new information about Bozo and Bambara puppets. Finally, we acquired many interesting artifacts for the State Museum of Oriental Arts. Due to the inability to arrive to the Dogon Country, it was decided to focus on the area of the city of Bougouni (Sikasso region) in southern Mali and on the Mande Country (regions of Koulikoro and Kayes, from the city of Kangaba in the west to Bamako in the east). Two magnificent, beautifully attributed works of traditional Bambara art were acquired in Bougouni for the collection of the State Museum of Oriental Arts: “Monkey” (Warabilen) and “Wild buffalo” (Sigi; Sigifin) masks. During the expedition, new and very significant data were obtained on the migrations of the Dogon from the Mande Country to the Bandiagara Highlands. A lot of information has now been accumulated regarding how the Dogon came to their new homeland. They were published, including in Russian. But the Manding oral traditions about the exodus of Dogon are still little known. We have partially succeeded in making up for this shortcoming. Oral historical traditions about the exodus of the Dogon from the Mande Country are changeable, internally contradictory and extremely unstable narratives with confused chronology, filled with omissions and vague allusions. However, some conclusions can still be drawn: there is almost no doubt that the root cause of the Dogon leaving for the lifeless rocks of Bandiagara was some kind of difficult and bloody conflict, accompanied by numerous victims. It is also clear that there were several waves of resettlement, and the last Dogon left for the highlands in the middle of the second half of the 19th century. It was also possible to find out that the Bambara and Bozo puppets are not at all a secularized popular theater. The puppet society is associated with the Koré secret society, and is perhaps one of the most powerful Bambara societies, which in this case refers to three ethnic groups: the Bambara proper, the Bozo (Dogon partners in a marriage-prohibitive joking relations) and the Marka (Soninké). Ceremonies involving puppets are completely sacred (only members of the Society take part in them), semi-sacred (only men take part in them), and, finally, publicly available — everyone, including women and children, takes part in them.

The research expedition of the Institute of Oriental studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences has been working in Mali since 2015. Since 2017, it has been attended by employees of the State Museum of the East. The task of the expedition is to study the transformation of traditional Dogon culture in the context of globalization, as well as to collect ethnographic information (life, customs, features of the traditional social and political structure); to collect oral historical legends; to study the history, existence, and transformation of artistic tradition in the villages of the Dogon Country in modern conditions; collecting items of Ethnography and art to add to the collection of the African collection of the. Peter the Great Museum (Kunstkamera, Saint Petersburg) and the State Museum of Oriental Arts (Moscow). The plan of the expedition in January 2020 included additional items, namely, the study of the functioning of the antique market in Mali (the “path” of things from villages to cities, which is important for attributing works of traditional art). The geography of our research was significantly expanded to the regions of Sikasso and Koulikoro in Mali, as well as to the city of Bobo-Dioulasso and its surroundings in Burkina Faso, which is related to the study of migrations to the Bandiagara Highlands. In addition, the plan of the expedition included organization of a photo exhibition in the Museum of the village of Endé and some educational projects. Unfortunately, after the mass murder in March 2019 in the village of Ogossogou-Pel, where more than one hundred and seventy people were killed, events in the Dogon Country began to develop in the worst-case scenario: The incessant provocations after that revived the old feud between the Pel (Fulbe) pastoralists and the Dogon farmers. So far, this hostility and mutual distrust has not yet developed into a full-scale ethnic conflict, but, unfortunately, such a development now seems quite likely.

Full textAbstract:
L'assertion selon laquelle la sculpture africaine ne représenterait pas le mouvement, est récurrente depuis les premières études d'histoire de l'art africain. L'auteur suit l'évolution de cette idée et interroge les mécanismes de formation du regard pour reformuler la question de la représentation du mouvement à partir d'un corpus de statues tshokwe et dogon. Langage du corps, gestes de cour et danses s'incarnent dans la statuaire tshokwe. Le verdict de non représentation du mouvement est invalidé par ce corpus comme par le corpus dogon, où, contre toute attente, catégoriser le traitement du mouvement en grandes tendances (sinueux, géométrique, modelé) permet d'ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de recherche en relation avec les travaux archéologiques. Profondeur historique et questions d'identité sont prégnantes. Les axes de pertinence sont recentrés sur la transmission des savoir faire et des canons esthétiques et l'interprétation de caractéristiques transversales aux styles.

Full textAbstract:
Etudiées du point de vue esthétique, ethnologique et comparatiste, les surfaces planes des œuvres d'art des Dogon, Bamana et Senoufo aux contours géométriques variés (rectangle, carre, rond, courbe ou cylindrique) arborent des signes peints, gravés ou ajourés. Elles agissent dans les rituels, contiennent les pensées les plus intimes de l'initiation et des familles face à la mort et sont un moyen d'entrer en contact avec dieu. Le plan relève d'une esthétique des contraires, de l'ambivalence et contient en lui l'espoir de la religion, de l'immortalité. L'ajour procède du planage de plus en plus profond de la surface jusqu'au percement de la matière. Le plan révèle la tripartition du monde et le fonctionnement tripartite de la pensée des familles étudiées : il est le juste milieu, le point d'équilibre. Portant des signes, il est le support de l'enseignement initiatique oral et écrit. Ses signes forment des écritures parfois différentes des écritures alphabétiques ou de celles visant la reproduction stricte de la parole mais leur fonctionnement est original. Luttant contre les dangers du souffle contenu dans les paroles, elles médiatisent le dialogue entre les hommes et dieu et la réponse divine emprunte le canal de la possession rituelle. Intégrées dans le discours linguistique et sémiotique, le modèle peircien est le plus adapte à leur étude. En outre, leur esthétique les situe à mi-chemin de l'art et de l'écriture. Les signes et la diffusion du plan offrent la possibilité de repérer certains déplacements des familles au cours de l'histoire, données recoupées par les textes des historiens, archéologues et la tradition orale. Celles de l'ouest africain viendraient de l'est, du Cameroun, ou de plus loin, d'Égypte ou d’Afrique centrale. Les dogon et les tellem formeraient une même famille ainsi que les dogon et les mossiFrom an aesthetic, ethnologic and comparative point of view, level surfaces of dogon, Bamana and Senufo works of art, which have different geometric outlines (rectangular, square, circular, curved or cylindrical), display various symbols, painted as well as engraved and openwork symbols. These surfaces play a part in the rituals. They contain the most intimate thoughts of initiation and those of the families facing the death, and they are a way to approach god. The plane is the product of a conflicting aesthetic, ambivalence and it embodies the hope of religion, of immortality. The openwork proceed from a deeper and deeper levelling of the surface to the piercing of the material. The plan reveals the division of the world into three parts and the mind's tripartite functioning of the studied families : it is the golden mean, the balancing point. Displaying signs, it is the basis of the oral and written initiatory education. The signs create writings that are sometimes different from the alphabetic writings of from the ones aiming at the strict reproduction of the speech, but their functioning is original. They act as a medium in the dialogue between mankind and god, for their fight against the dangers of the breath the speech contains, and the divine answer follows the canal of the ritual possession. When these writings are integrated in the linguistic or semiotic speech, the pierce's model is the best adapted model to study them. Moreover, their aesthetic places them midway between art and writing. The symbols and the diffusion of the plane offer the opportunity to locate some families' movings in history, which historians', archaeologists' texts and the oral tradition confirm. Western-African families would most probably come from east, from Cameroun, or from a longer way, from Egypt or central Africa. The dogon and the tellem would surely constitute a same family such as the dogon and the Mossi

Full textAbstract:
Depuis la fin des années 1970, de nombreuses publications scientifiques ont permis de mieux comprendre les mécanismes de production et de transport des bois morts dans les cours d'eau. La plupart de ces travaux se sont concentrés géographiquement sur des torrents ou des petits cours d'eau localisés en Amérique du Nord, dans des régions caractérisées par l'industrie forestière et la présence de vieilles forêts tempérées. Les connaissances relatives à la dynamique du bois mort dans les cours d'eau de grande taille sont encore très lacunaires. Il s'agit aujourd'hui d'identifier, à l'échelle du réseau hydrographique, l'origine, les conditions de mobilité et de transfert du bois mort, afin de mieux cibler les mécanismes et les secteurs de production et de stockage. Ces démarches devraient permettre à moyen terme de proposer des solutions adaptées en termes d'entretien des cours d'eau et de gestion des risques associés. Toutes ces questions se posent sur l'Isère à l'amont de Grenoble. Une démarche holistique est ainsi engagée dans le cadre de cette thèse à l'échelle de ce bassin. Elle s'est organisée autour de trois axes thématiques. Une première étape a consisté à parcourir les linéaires de l'Isère entre le barrage d'Aigueblanche et Grenoble, de l'Arc entre Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne et la confluence de l'Isère, de l'Arly entre Ugine et la confluence de l'Isère. Le résultat a permis de cartographier les différentes formes d'accumulation du bois mort le long du linéaire et d'identifier les zones préférentielles de dépôts (et inversement) ainsi que certains paramètres contrôlant la distribution spatiale des accumulations de bois mort le long de ce linéaire. La deuxième étape s'est appuyée sur les secteurs où de fortes concentrations en bois mort ont été déterminées. Sur ces sites, des mesures ont été réalisées sur les troncs stockés dans les chenaux des différents cours d'eau afin d'élaborer la carte d'identité des bois morts en transit. Trois tests méthodologiques ont ensuite été effectués afin d'identifier l'origine géographique des bois morts stockés dans le chenal de l'Isère à l'aval d'Albertville. La troisième étape présente les résultats issus d'un test de suivi des bois par traçage mis en place en 2002 et de l'expérimentation réalisée en juin 2003 lors d'un lâcher de barrage. Nous avons étudié ensuite la dynamique des bois morts en rapport avec l'hydrologie des cours d'eau. A partir des résultats obtenus, des propositions de gestion ont été formulées. Elles ont eu pour objectifs de réduire les risques d'inondations et de dommages au niveau des ouvrages et des zones urbaines, de réduire les coûts d'extraction et les contraintes d'exploitation aux barrages et aux ponts. Il s'agissait, en outre, de trouver une solution permettant d'éviter une systématisation de l'entretien sur tout le linéaire qui est financièrement et écologiquement coûteuse, et de proposer quelques règles permettant de promouvoir l'impact des politiques d'entretien mises en place.

Tyler, John. "A Pragmatic Standard of Legal Validity." Thesis, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/ETD-TAMU-2012-05-10885.
Full textAbstract:
American jurisprudence currently applies two incompatible validity standards to determine which laws are enforceable. The natural law tradition evaluates validity by an uncertain standard of divine law, and its methodology relies on contradictory views of human reason. Legal positivism, on the other hand, relies on a methodology that commits the analytic fallacy, separates law from its application, and produces an incomplete model of law.
These incompatible standards have created a schism in American jurisprudence that impairs the delivery of justice. This dissertation therefore formulates a new standard for legal validity. This new standard rejects the uncertainties and inconsistencies inherent in natural law theory. It also rejects the narrow linguistic methodology of legal positivism.
In their stead, this dissertation adopts a pragmatic methodology that develops a standard for legal validity based on actual legal experience. This approach focuses on the operations of law and its effects upon ongoing human activities, and it evaluates legal principles by applying the experimental method to the social consequences they produce. Because legal history provides a long record of past experimentation with legal principles, legal history is an essential feature of this method.
This new validity standard contains three principles. The principle of reason requires legal systems to respect every subject as a rational creature with a free will. The principle of reason also requires procedural due process to protect against the punishment of the innocent and the tyranny of the majority. Legal systems that respect their subjects' status as rational creatures with free wills permit their subjects to orient their own behavior. The principle of reason therefore requires substantive due process to ensure that laws provide dependable guideposts to individuals in orienting their behavior.
The principle of consent recognizes that the legitimacy of law derives from the consent of those subject to its power. Common law custom, the doctrine of stare decisis, and legislation sanctioned by the subjects' legitimate representatives all evidence consent.
The principle of autonomy establishes the authority of law. Laws must wield supremacy over political rulers, and political rulers must be subject to the same laws as other citizens. Political rulers may not arbitrarily alter the law to accord to their will.
Legal history demonstrates that, in the absence of a validity standard based on these principles, legal systems will not treat their subjects as ends in themselves. They will inevitably treat their subjects as mere means to other ends. Once laws do this, men have no rest from evil.

Are the practices of Western art history appropriate for the study of art from cultures outside its geographical boundaries and conventional timeframe? The bias in this interpretation of the subject opens up the questions of the importance of the canon in art history and how we view non-figurative, primitive, and naive art. ‘A global art history?’ considers a range of different examples of artistic practice from around the world, including the sculpture of the Dogon people of Mali and the calligraphy of Wu Zhen, who was active during the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368). It also discusses what is meant by the ‘primitive’ arts of Oceania, Africa, and North and South America.

Full textAbstract:
In Mali, there are no specific official programmes for the medical care of dementia. However, there is a law (decree 95-368/P-RM du 13 octobre 1995) that stipulates the free nature of medical consultations, with the elderly benefiting from a 50% reduction in costs of medical care. The challenge in the future would be the legislation for free treatment of psychiatric illnesses in general and of dementia in particular. The therapeutic approach to dementia care in Mali is multidimensional and includes spiritual, traditional (medicinal plants), and social therapy, which is the most important in the management of dementia. Daily recitation and teaching of the holy book (Quran) is part of prevention and treatment of dementia in current Sufi Islam. The cosmovision of Dogon (worldview of a culture or civilization, especially its relationship with the animated or environment) has its own method for the prevention and treatment of dementia. This chapter describes the sociological aspects, preventative measures, and traditional therapy (Dogon ethnopharmacology) of dementia.

Full textAbstract:
Under contract farming arrangements for organic agriculture introduced in the early 2000s in Uttarakhand’s Doon Valley, the production of organic basmati rice must adhere not only to standards for organic production and certification but, simultaneously, to standards for export-quality basmati rice that pertain to the physical and material features of the grain itself. This chapter shows how the coming into being of organic basmati rice has been shaped not only by the standards and practices of organic agriculture and certification, but also by the conditions of contract farming established in the Doon Valley in the early 2000s by means of the longer histories of commoditization through which basmati has become a globally traded grain. The chapter examines the convergence of sociotechnical and socionatural practices that have made basmati a distinct category of rice—a category brought into being through government notifications, geographic indications, processes of standardization and commodification that, while established far from the Doon Valley where basmati is cultivated, are enacted and realized every day in its fields.

Abstract The question we are faced with here is how can a governance perspective inform and improve the study of comparative politics? What do we gain by using governance to frame a discussion of differences among nation states as opposed to using the variety of other theoretical and analytical perspectives that have been advocated (Dogan and Pelassy, 1990)?

Full textAbstract:
This chapters analyzes two moments in the history of anthropology where the desire to treat concepts as rules, which take the general form of a proposition, runs against their use in practice. In each of the episodes in question—Lévi-Strauss’s analysis of Oedipus and Griaule’s of Ogotommêli’s performance of Dogon cosmology—the anthropologists’ attempts to apply a definition of myth in new contexts are later determined to be ill fitting (after certain antimonies arise), and the counterpart concept reveals itself to be at work. One of the important consequences of this perspective is that it reveals how little mastery we have over our concepts, that we live with concepts that are in the world and that address themselves to us in any number of ways. Another is that the boundary between concepts like myth and literature, if drawn very sharply, is of extremely restricted anthropological use. The extension of concepts to new contexts through examples also transforms the concept (it doesn’t merely illustrate it).

In it Shekau touted the success of the group in the raid on Baga and Doron Baga, and reiterated some of the key themes in its belief system. The inhabitants of these towns were almost all Muslims. In addition, Shekau chided the leaders of Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon for calling for international support against Boko Haram. This video marks the first public display of Nigeria’s national flag being burned by Boko Haram. While reading a speech broadcast in French on Radio France, Shekau also stated that the French government is hostile to Islam and the Muslims. Shekau’s spoken French is poor, but comprehensible. He was probably helped by Chadian members of the group. The final scenes of this video, which show a different speaker displaying the weapons the group acquired from the raid on Baga and Doron Baga, are akin to the April 2013 video on the raid on Monguno Barrack...

Abstract In determining parallelism between clauses for the purpose of interpreting VP ellipsis, verbs are usually not mentioned as parallel elements, since typically, in a clause where VP is missing, the verb is missing as well. But in languages where verbs raise out of the VP overtly, it is to be expected that VP ellipsis would “strand” the verb. Such examples are hard to distinguish from null-object examples, since in both cases the object is missing but not the verb. Nonetheless, it is possible to separate the two constructions based on their different syntactic characteristics, as is shown in Doron (1990) for Hebrew.

This chapter offers a thorough definition and discussion of the term ‘practising’ more generally (as delimited by the book), before applying it widely to a variety of ‘practices’ (or sets of behaviours) such as creative art, daily tasks and also so-called spiritual practices, such as yoga, meditation etc. Via a close reading of the basic form of Soto Zen practice—shikantaza—the chapter then derives four criteria that can assist in clarifying when practising per se is in play. The four criteria are: form (a practice or structured behaviour); intentional repetition; relaxation; repeating repetition. These are discussed in detail to elucidate further how practising operates, both in conversation with Zen sources (Dogen and others) as well as with Deleuzian philosophy and criticism. The chapter includes a discussion of the threshold between habit and practising, which is taken up in Chapter 2.

In dredging, the hydraulic transport of solids is one of the most important processes. Since the 50’s many researchers have tried to create a physical mathematical model in order to predict the head losses in slurry transport. One can think of the models of Durand and Condolios (1952) and Durand (1953), Worster and Denny (1955), Newitt et al. (1955), Gibert (1960), Fuhrboter (1961), Jufin and Lopatin (1966), Zandi and Govatos (1967) and Zandi (1971), Turian and Yuan (1977), Doron et al. (1987) and Doron and Barnea (1993), Wilson et al. (1992) and Matousek (1997). Some models are based on phenomenological relations and thus result in semi empirical relations, other tried to create models based on physics, like the two and three layer models. It is however the question whether slurry transport can be modeled this way at all. Observations in our laboratory show a process which is often non-stationary with respect to time and space. Different physics occur depending on the line speed, particle diameter, concentration and pipe diameter. These physics are often named flow regimes; fixed bed, shearing bed, sliding bed, heterogeneous transport and (pseudo) homogeneous transport. It is also possible that more regimes occur at the same time, like, a fixed bed in the bottom layer with heterogeneous transport in the top layer. It is the observation of the author that researchers often focus on a detail and sub-optimize their model, which results in a model that can only be applied for the parameters used for their experiments.

Abstract Developing countries are always looking for compact and efficient rocket stoves that burn wood efficiently and cause minimum harm to the environment. An improved design of the rocket stove and its performance as per the Clean Cook Stove Alliance procedures are reported in the present work. Previous works indicate that the square cross-section does not have a continuous air velocity. Divergent sections reduce fluid velocity and improve combustion and flow as well as reduce losses. The key features of the new design are: (a) cylindrical shape for even flow of air around the stove and improved stability for outdoor use, (b) secondary air inlets for improved combustion of wood fuel, (c) divergent combustion chamber for reduced air flowrate, which in turn would increase mixing of air and fuel, (d) double-walled cover for reduced heat losses and improved safety, and (e) base air intake design - fresh air is directed from the base. The resulting design allows better handling, improved heat transfer, easier ash collection, and improved aesthetics. Insulation was provided at the outer surface to minimize heat loss. Both cold-start and hot-start testing were carried out indoors and outdoors. Four types of wood were tested in this work. The results showed that the use of insulation and 360-degrees air entry points complement each other well in achieving a consistent air supply to the burning fuel. Arranging the wood vertically reduces the smoke expelled and increases the burning rate. The calorific values of the four wood species did not greatly differ from each other. However, Bruguiera Gymnorhiza, locally known as Dogo, gave the maximum efficiency of 36% due to the closely compacted hydrocarbons in it.

Full textAbstract:
The study of user behavior and mobility choices is a crucial aspect in the design of innovative transportation services that genuinely cater to people's needs, placing the user and their senses at the core, developing services that address not only the needs but also the sensemaking of individuals (Pennington, 2016). To achieve this goal, the design team developed a strategy for mapping qualitative and quantitative data, including the identification of user needs and frustrations In the collection of qualitative data, the method introduced by Cooper in 1999 known as Personas is employed (Cooper, 1999). This method serves to gather input for designers, compelling them to take into account the specific needs of users. Originally utilized in software development, this method is now increasingly applied in the creation of products and services. It can also be leveraged in the design of public services and within the realm of mobility (Siddall, 2011). Personas are constructed through meticulous observation and subsequently (Turner, D.W., 2010), the conduct of a significant number of user interviews. These insights are then translated into personas by identifying common needs, frustrations, dreams, and fears(Çalışkan 2012).The objective was to create a scalable approach to easily understand local needs, fears, trends, and opportunities related to mobility systems, walkability, road desirability, and services (Dogan, T., 2018).This research was conducted in collaboration with the laboratory of the Master's Degree program in Design at Palermo University, within the scope of territorial development strategy and services.The user research analysis was divided into several simple steps to be easily executed with the aid of guidelines, incorporating methodologies utilized in design, such as Design Thinking, and in urban planning disciplines, like participatory interviews and observations (Carrasco, Pizzaro 2022). The project commenced with an analysis of the context of two specific mobility hubs in Palermo, namely, two stations within the city's metro system, which are major and complex nodes, serving different user bases and allowing for interaction with a large number of users (Turner, D.W., 2010). Alongside the contextual analysis, the next step involved actual participatory observation, establishing discussions with users in the areas, and identifying potential users who utilize them most frequently, developing semi-structured, empathic interviews aimed at identifying their needs and the reasons why they chose to take that route or use the station (Kalbach, 2020).The designers also took photographs, marking the most interesting nodes, strengths, and weaknesses according to the users, and analyzed them to create proto-empathy maps using a five-senses format and proto-personas (Califano et al. 2022).The aim is to develop qualitative maps of users' daily experiences, referred to as "User Journey Maps" as well as empathy maps, where their feelings are traced to identify needs and frustrations (Tharon, H., 2014).Subsequently, these maps could be employed to delve deeper into the urban and mobility design process (Gothelf, Schloesser, 2023).The project is committed to making this methodology scalable, showcasing its results and design contributions to facilitate its adaptability in other contexts within the same city of Palermo or in other Italian cities. The goal is to provide a well-defined, phased methodology for developing the replicability of the approach, thus enabling the creation of personas in any location we wish to analyze in mobility services.In conclusion, the strategy developed by the Design team provided valuable insights into user behavior and mobility choices (Sheller, 2011). The use of Design tools, such as empathy maps and personas, contributed to creating profiles that could be used to deepen the design process, as well as to serve as a testing phase. The combination of methodologies was successful in achieving a new level of mapping to be integrated into the mobility service design processes. The methodology was designed to be easily scalable in other contexts, which could prove invaluable in the future of the research project.

Full textAbstract:
The Mooshla Intrusive Complex (MIC) is an Archean polyphase magmatic body located in the Doyon-Bousquet-LaRonde (DBL) mining camp of the Abitibi greenstone belt, Québec. The MIC is spatially associated with numerous gold (Au)-rich VMS, epizonal 'intrusion-related' Au-Cu vein systems, and shear zone-hosted (orogenic?) Au deposits. To elucidate genetic links between deposits and the MIC, mineralized samples from two of the epizonal 'intrusion-related' Au-Cu vein systems (Doyon and Grand Duc Au-Cu) have been characterized using a variety of analytical techniques. Preliminary results indicate gold (as electrum) from both deposits occurs relatively late in the systems as it is primarily observed along fractures in pyrite and gangue minerals. At Grand Duc gold appears to have formed syn- to post-crystallization relative to base metal sulphides (e.g. chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrrhotite), whereas base metal sulphides at Doyon are relatively rare. The accessory ore mineral assemblage at Doyon is relatively simple compared to Grand Duc, consisting of petzite (Ag3AuTe2), calaverite (AuTe2), and hessite (Ag2Te), while accessory ore minerals at Grand Duc are comprised of tellurobismuthite (Bi2Te3), volynskite (AgBiTe2), native Te, tsumoite (BiTe) or tetradymite (Bi2Te2S), altaite (PbTe), petzite, calaverite, and hessite. Pyrite trace element distribution maps from representative pyrite grains from Doyon and Grand Duc were collected and confirm petrographic observations that Au occurs relatively late. Pyrite from Doyon appears to have been initially trace-element poor, then became enriched in As, followed by the ore metal stage consisting of Au-Ag-Te-Bi-Pb-Cu enrichment and lastly a Co-Ni-Se(?) stage enrichment. Grand Duc pyrite is more complex with initial enrichments in Co-Se-As (Stage 1) followed by an increase in As-Co(?) concentrations (Stage 2). The ore metal stage (Stage 3) is indicated by another increase in As coupled with Au-Ag-Bi-Te-Sb-Pb-Ni-Cu-Zn-Sn-Cd-In enrichment. The final stage of pyrite growth (Stage 4) is represented by the same element assemblage as Stage 3 but at lower concentrations. Preliminary sulphur isotope data from Grand Duc indicates pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite all have similar delta-34S values (~1.5 � 1 permille) with no core-to-rim variations. Pyrite from Doyon has slightly higher delta-34S values (~2.5 � 1 permille) compared to Grand Duc but similarly does not show much core-to-rim variation. At Grand Duc, the occurrence of Au concentrating along the rim of pyrite grains and associated with an enrichment in As and other metals (Sb-Ag-Bi-Te) shares similarities with porphyry and epithermal deposits, and the overall metal association of Au with Te and Bi is a hallmark of other intrusion-related gold systems. The occurrence of the ore metal-rich rims on pyrite from Grand Duc could be related to fluid boiling which results in the destabilization of gold-bearing aqueous complexes. Pyrite from Doyon does not show this inferred boiling texture but shares characteristics of dissolution-reprecipitation processes, where metals in the pyrite lattice are dissolved and then reconcentrated into discrete mineral phases that commonly precipitate in voids and fractures created during pyrite dissolution.

Domestic violence rates are high in Bangladesh in spite of laws such as the Nari o Shishu Nirjatan Domon Ain and the DVPPA 2010. According to data from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, almost three in every five women (57.7%) have experienced some form of physical, sexual, or emotional violence in their lifetime. While the formulation and enactment of the DVPPA in 2010 was an achievement for the government, especially the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs that proposed it and the coalition for domestic violence known as the Citizens Initiative against Domestic Violence (CIDV) that championed it, subsequent experience of implementation has been less positive. This policy briefing outlines details, key messages and recommendations from research into the implementation of the DVPPA conducted in 2022 by the BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD), BRAC University, as part of the “Countering Backlash: Reclaiming Gender Justice” programme hosted at the Institute of Development Studies, funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) programme, and supported by the Swedish Government.

Boily-Auclair, É., P. Mercier-Langevin, P. S. Ross, and D. Pitre. Alteration and ore assemblages of the LaRonde Zone 5 (LZ5) deposit and Ellison mineralized zones, Doyon-Bousquet-LaRonde mining camp, Abitibi, Quebec. Natural Resources Canada/CMSS/Information Management, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.4095/329637.
Full textAbstract:
The LaRonde Zone 5 (LZ5) mine is part of the Doyon-Bousquet-LaRonde mining camp and is located in the southern part of the Abitibi greenstone belt in northwestern Quebec. The LZ5 deposit consists of three stacked mineralized corridors: Zone 4, Zone 4.1, and Zone 5. Zones 4 and 4.1 are discontinuous satellite mineralized corridors, whereas Zone 5 represents the main mineralized body. The mineralized zones of the LZ5 deposit and adjacent Ellison property (Ellison A and B zones) are hosted in the strongly-deformed, 2699-2695 Ma transitional to calcalkaline, intermediate to felsic, volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Bousquet Formation upper member, which is part of the Blake River Group (2704-2695 Ma). Zones 4, 4.1, and 5 at the LZ5 mine are hosted in intermediate volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Westwood andesitic to rhyodacitic unit (unit 5.1a), which forms the base of the upper member of the Bousquet Formation. The Ellison Zone A is hosted higher up in the stratigraphic sequence within a newly described intermediate volcanic unit. The Ellison Zone B is hosted in felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Westwood feldsparphyric rhyolite dome (subunit 5.3a-(b)). Mineralization in all three zones of the LZ5 deposit consists of discordant networks of millimeter- to centimeter-thick pyrite ±chalcopyrite ±sphalerite ±pyrrhotite veins and veinlets (10-20 % of the volume of the rock) and, to a lesser extent, very finely disseminated pyrite and boudinaged veins (less than or equal to 5 vol. % each) in strongly altered host rocks. Gold commonly occurs as microscopic inclusions in granoblastic pyrite and at the triple junction between recrystallized grains. The veins, stockworks, and disseminations were intensely folded and transposed in the steeply south-dipping, east-west trending S2 foliation. The vein network is at least partly discordant to the stratigraphy. A distal alteration halo envelops the LZ5 mineralized corridors and consists of a sericite-carbonate-chlorite- feldspar ±biotite assemblage. A proximal sericite-carbonate-chlorite-pyrite-quartz- feldspar-biotite ±epidote alteration assemblage is present within the LZ5 mineralized zones. A local proximal alteration assemblage of sericite-quartz-pyrite is also locally developed within Zone 4 and Zone 5 of the LZ5 deposit. Mass gains in Fe2O3 (t) and K2O, and mass losses in CaO, MgO, Na2O, and locally SiO2, are characteristic of the LZ5 alteration zones. The Ellison zone A and B are similar to LZ5 in terms of style of mineralization, but thin (10-20 cm) veins or bands of semi-massive to massive, finely recrystallized disseminated pyrite (0.1-1 mm) are distinctive. Chalcopyrite and sphalerite are also slightly more abundant in the mineralized corridors of the Ellison property and are usually associated with elevated gold grades. The zones are also slightly richer than at LZ5 in terms of gold and silver content, but narrower and less continuous in general. The Ellison Zone A is characterized by gains in Fe2O3 (t) and K2O and losses in CaO, MgO, Na2O, and SiO2. Gains in Fe2O3 (t) and local gains in K2O, MgO, and MnO, and losses in CO2, Na2O, P2O5, and SiO2, characterize the felsic host rocks of the Zone B corridor. The style of mineralization at LZ5 (pyrite ±chalcopyrite veins and veinlets, ±disseminated pyrite with low base metal content), its setting (i.e. in rocks of intermediate composition at the base of the upper member of the Bousquet Formation), and the geometry of its ore zones (stacked lenses of sulfide veins and veinlets, without massive sulfide lenses) differ from the other major deposits of the Doyon-Bousquet-LaRonde mining camp. Despite these differences, this study indicates that the LZ5 and Ellison mineralized corridors are of synvolcanic hydrothermal origin and have most likely been formed by convective circulation of seawater below the seafloor. An influx of magmatic fluids from the Mooshla synvolcanic intrusive complex or its parent magma chamber could explain the Au enrichment at LZ5, as has been suggested for other deposits of the camp. Evidence for a pre-deformation synvolcanic mineralization at LZ5 includes ductile deformation and recrystallization of the sulfides, the stacked nature of its ore zones, subconcordant alteration halos that envelop the mineralized corridors, evidence that the mineralized system was already active when the LZ5 lenses were deposited and control on mineralization by primary volcanic features such as the permeability and porosity of the volcanic rocks.

Full textAbstract:
The Mooshla Intrusive Complex (MIC) is an Archean polyphase magmatic body located in the Doyon-Bousquet-LaRonde (DBL) mining camp of the Abitibi greenstone belt, Québec, that is spatially associated with numerous gold (Au)-rich VMS, epizonal 'intrusion-related' Au-Cu vein systems, and shear zone-hosted (orogenic?) Au deposits. To elucidate the P-T conditions of crystallization, and oxidation state of the MIC magmas, accessory minerals (zircon, rutile, titanite) have been characterized using a variety of analytical techniques (e.g., trace element thermobarometry). The resulting trace element and oxythermobarometric database for accessory minerals in the MIC represents the first examination of such parameters in an Archean magmatic complex in a world-class mineralized district. Mineral thermobarometry yields P-T constraints on accessory mineral crystallization consistent with the expected conditions of tonalite-trondhjemite-granite (TTG) magma genesis, well above peak metamorphic conditions in the DBL camp. Together with textural observations, and mineral trace element data, the P-T estimates reassert that the studied minerals are of magmatic origin and not a product of metamorphism. Oxygen fugacity constraints indicate that while the magmas are relatively oxidizing (as indicated by the presence of magmatic epidote, titanite, and anhydrite), zircon trace element systematics indicate that the magmas were not as oxidized as arc magmas in younger (post-Archean) porphyry environments. The data presented provides first constraints on the depth and other conditions of melt generation and crystallization of the MIC. The P-T estimates and qualitative fO2 constraints have significant implications for the overall model for formation (crystallization, emplacement) of the MIC and potentially related mineral deposits.
