Investors in people: a case study of the mathematics department of Merton College, Uk
Authors: Fletcher Jonathan
Published: December 2021

The Investors in People study of the Mathematics Department of Merton College was undertaken in November 2008 to determine the extent to which the Mathematics Department met the indicators of the new Standard introduced by Investors in People UK in 2005 in the face of the changes that were being implemented in the whole college. The study involved 14 out of the 23 staff in the department. The main instruments used were structured interview schedules, albeit relevant documents were also examined. The key finding was that generally, managers were able to demonstrate an understanding of how to count the costs and benefits of learning and development, and the latter's impact on the performance of individuals in the mathematics Department. It was recommended that the Policy Team of the college should develop an Action Plan to address some of the key issues identified in the study.
Perceptions of top management university of cape coast staff of the representation of women in management positions
Authors: Alakija Naa Adjeley Suta
Published: December 2021

The study sought to explore factors influencing the low representation of women in management positions in the University of Cape Coast. An exploratory qualitative research design was employed to undertake the study. Data was collected through interviews with forty-one workers in management positions and analysed using the N6 package for analyzing qualitative research. Generally, the respondents were of the view that women are not well represented in management positions. Notable reasons they gave included lack of requisite qualifications on the side of women and the University being gender sensitive. The problems women in management positions faced were stressful career workload and domestic/family responsibilities and these kept them from climbing the managerial ladder. The respondents were of the view that women needed more opportunities to excel and aspire for management positions. The situation can be improved if institutions formulate policies geared toward fast tracking women with leadership potentials.
Update on lymphoma pathology III: lymphoma classification and nodal lymphomas
Authors: Blewitt R W
Published: December 2021

Lymphoma classification has for years been confusing and at times exasperating, based solely on haematoxylin-and eosin-stained histological sections. Several major advances have allowed a new and less subjective classification to be developed:

• use of immunostains

• recognition that extranodal lymphomas are special

• discovery of specific cytogenetic abnormalities in lymphomas

• better understanding of lymphocyte physiology

Published: December 2021

On dördüncü yüzyılda ticaretin İngiltere’deki gelişimi ve ortaya çıkardığı ayrıntılı örgütlenme sistemi oldukça ilgi çekicidir. Kara Ölüm ve Yüzyıl Savaşları’nın neden olduğu olumsuzluklara rağmen, III. Edward’ın yün imalatına verdiği teşvik, İngiliz endüstrisinin büyümesini sağlayan ilk adım olmuştur. Edward’ın yün politikası hem siyasi hem de askeri politikalarını yönlendirmiştir. Edward ülkesinin yün hammaddesini çok iyi analiz edip, döneminin şartları gereği yönetiminin temeline ticareti koymuştur. Bu durum İngiltere’de zenginliği artırırken manor lortlarının da güçlenmesini sağlamıştır. İngiltere’de özellikle Kara Ölüm’den sonra insan gücünün azlığı tarımsal üretimi derinden etkilerken, mera hayvancılığının gelişmesine de katkı sağlamıştır. Bu durum ise Edward’ın yün politikasını sistemleştirmesine yol açmıştır. Edward’ın yün ticareti polikasında Flanders İngiltere’nin en büyük partneri olmuştur. İçinde bulunduğu olumsuz koşulları avantaja çevirmeyi başaran İngiltere Kralı elindeki en değerli gücün “yün” olduğunun farkındadır. Edward’ın bu ticari zekâsı sadece kendi döneminin refahını sağlamakla kalmayıp aynı zamanda gelecek yüzyıllarda İngiltere’nin denizaşırı emperyal ticaretinin de temelini oluşturmuştur.

Published: December 2021

Introduction

In the present research, we formulated a modern chemotherapeutic drug by silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) containing Nigella sativa aqueous extract for the treatment of bone tumor.

Material and methods

Characterization of AgNPs was done by UV–Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FT‐IR), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE‐SEM). For investigating the antioxidant properties of AgNO3, N. sativa, and AgNPs, the DPPH test was used in the presence of butylated hydroxytoluene as the positive control. To survey the cytotoxicity and anti-bone tumor effects of AgNO3, N. sativa, and AgNPs, MTT assay was used on the human bone Ewing’s sarcoma (CADO-ES1 and MHH-ES1), human bone osteosarcoma (HOS and MG-63), and human bone chondrosarcoma (SW-1353 and CH-3573) cell lines.

Results

DPPH test revealed similar antioxidant potentials for N. sativa, AgNPs, and butylated hydroxytoluene. Silver nanoparticles had very low cell viability and anti-bone tumor properties dose-dependently against CADO-ES1, MHH-ES1, HOS, MG-63, SW-1353, and CH-3573 cell lines without any cytotoxicity on the normal cell line. The best result of anti-bone tumor properties of AgNPs against the above cell lines was seen in the case of the MG-63 cell line.

Conclusions

According to the above findings, the silver nanoparticles containing N. sativa aqueous extract can be administrated in humans for the treatment of several types of bone tumors.
Describing a novel chemotherapeutic drug formulated by Diosmin for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and diabetes mellitus
Authors: Wu Lili , Xing Lei , Cui Liqin , Hou Qian
Published: December 2021

Introduction

Diosmin is a natural citrus flavone with remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory features. Acute leukemia is a common type of cancer that is caused in the blood.

Material and methods

Alpha amylase activity was determined by a method adapted from the work of Taha et al.

Results

In this study, we examined its effect on some important enzymes, the IC50 values were 196.07 for Aldose reductase, and 76.40 for alpha amylase. The molecular docking study was performed to assess the binding affinity and biological activities of diosmin in the presence of alpha amylase and aldose reductase. The results of the docking study indicated that diosmin has a remarkable binding affinity to these enzymes with a docking score of -9.768 and -140469 for alpha-amylase and aldose reductase, respectively. Therefore, this compound could be used as a potential inhibitor for these enzymes. In the cellular and molecular part of the recent study, the treated cells with Diosmin were assessed by MTT assay for 48h about the cytotoxicity and anti-human acute lymphoblastic leukemia properties on HL-60, Clone 15 HL-60, HL-60/MX1, and HL-60/MX2 cell lines. The IC50 of Diosmin were 466, 323, 502, and 537 µg/mL against HL-60, Clone 15 HL-60, HL-60/MX1, and HL-60/MX2 cell lines, respectively.

Conclusions

The viability of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines reduced dose-dependently in the presence of Diosmin. It appears that the anti-human acute lymphoblastic leukemia effect of Diosmin is due to their antioxidant effects.

Authors: Lima Vinicius Emanuel Brito , Dalcim Andre Vieira , Oliveira Renan Angrizani , Simonetti Vanessa Cezar , Figueira Rossana Cristina Rossoni
Published: December 2021

Introdução: O acesso à energia elétrica é um requisito básico de cidadania. Entretanto, aproximadamente 800 milhões de pessoas não possuem tal recurso, sendo considerado um grande desafio global no século XXI. Devido a crescente preocupação com as mudanças climáticas, estamos vivenciando uma tendência em desenvolvimento e mudança das matrizes energéticas atuais para fontes renováveis e limpas. Objetivo: Objetivou-se avaliar a eficiência na geração de energia elétrica usando plantas do tipo suculentas (Sedum burrito e Crassula ovata) em recipientes de diferentes materiais isolantes (argila e polietileno) e diretamente na terra. Materiais e métodos: Foram utilizados 10 (dez) recipientes com volume de 0,5 L. Cada vaso apresentava um espécime de suculenta em solo humoso. Para o circuito 1, utilizou-se 5 (cinco) recipientes feitos de cerâmica. Já para o circuito 2, empregou-se 5 (cinco) vasos confeccionados de polietileno. Para o circuito 3, o método foi aplicado diretamente na terra. Na produção dos eletrodos, foram utilizadas placas de cobre (cátodo) e zinco (ânodo), colocando-se um cátodo e um ânodo por vaso (circuitos 1 e 2), sendo o diferencial do circuito 3 a ausência do isolante elétrico. Estas placas foram interligadas em série por fios de cobre não esmaltados. As medições das tensões foram feitas com os eletrodos totalmente enterrados e semienterrados, respectivamente, a partir de um multímetro digital. Resultados: Dessa forma, o circuito 1 gerou 4,2V (enterrados) e 2,8V (semienterrado). No circuito 2, mediu-se 6,9V e 3,8V. Os valores foram suficientes para alimentar 2 (duas) (circuito 1) e 3 (três) (circuito 2) lâmpadas de LED de tensão nominal de 2V e corrente de 20mA. Já o circuito 3, apresentou tensão praticamente nula, visto que o solo funciona como dispersor de elétrons (fio terra). Conclusão: Visando o conceito de sustentabilidade, o estudo aplica uma metodologia sustentável da geração de uma pequena fonte de energia elétrica limpa e renovável. A metodologia não apresenta dificuldade para aplicação e montagem, uma vez que emprega materiais de fácil acesso. Os resultados de tensão elétrica obtidos experimentalmente sugerem possível alternativa ao uso crescente e irracional dos recursos naturais, também podendo ser utilizado como material de educação ambiental.
ANÁLISE DA DURABILIDADE DE ARGAMASSA COM RESÍDUOS DE POLIETILENO TEREFTALATO (PET) PARA USO COMO REVESTIMENTO NA CONSTRUÇÃO CIVIL
Authors: Lima Nathana Luiza Pinto De , Felipe Renata Carla Tavares Dos Santos , Felipe Raimundo Nonato Barbosa
Published: December 2021

Introdução: Embora o desenvolvimento da construção civil seja crucial ao desenvolvimento de qualquer sociedade moderna, esse setor gera um grande impacto ambiental, principalmente devido ao elevado consumo de recursos naturais e da intensa geração de resíduos sólidos. Buscando a redução desses impactos, a academia procura a substituição de materiais de construção convencionais por materiais sustentáveis como os obtidos a partir de subprodutos reciclados. Nesse contexto, o Agregado Leve de Resíduo de PET (ALRP) tem sido utilizado como substituto da areia natural em argamassas de revestimento como forma de conciliar a redução no consumo de areia natural pela construção civil e a reutilização de resíduos plásticos de PET (polietileno tereftalato). Objetivo: Nesse contexto, essa pesquisa tem como objetivo desenvolver uma composição de argamassa cimentícia para uso como revestimento, utilizando uma taxa de substituição de 5% de areia por ALRP, e avaliar seu comportamento físico como resultado à aplicação do processo de envelhecimento acelerado baseado na norma internacional ASTM G 53:1996. Material e métodos: Para isso, foram moldadas amostras de argamassa com 0% e 5% de taxa de substituição volumétrica de areia por ALRP, e então determinados os valores de massa aparente no estado endurecido, módulo de elasticidade dinâmico e coeficiente de capilaridade das amostras antes e após à submissão ao processo de envelhecimento acelerado, sendo todos os ensaios realizados conforme normas técnicas. Resultados: Os resultados indicam que as composições envelhecidas com 0% e 5% de ALRP obtiveram maiores valores de módulo de elasticidade dinâmico e de coeficiente de capilaridade quando comparada as amostras sem envelhecimento. Já os valores de massa aparente sofreram uma redução no traço sem ALRP e um aumento no traço com 5% de ALRP após o envelhecimento. Conclusão: Diante disso, foi possível verificar que o processo de envelhecimento acelerado gerou uma degradação na estrutura do material promovendo uma redução no desempenho quanto a sua absorção e deformabilidade. Porém, a inclusão de 5% de ALRP promoveu pouca alteração nessa tendência, mostrando ser influente apenas nos valores de massa aparente no estado endurecido, quando gera um comportamento contrário ao da amostra sem resíduo após o envelhecimento.

Validation of hygrothermal material modelling under consideration of the hysteresis of moisture storage.
Authors: Scheffler Gregor A.
Published: December 2021

The achievable accuracy of hygrothermal building component simulation is significantly dependent on the applied material functions. These functions are determined by the material modelling marking the connection between the basic storage and transport parameters which are obtained from basic measurements, and the storage and transport coefficients which are defined within the balance and flow equations. It is the aim of the present study to develop a flexible and widely applicable material model which is not restricted to the current level of the transport theory. Furthermore, limits and options of this model are to be validated by means of four building materials on the basis of special transient moisture profile measurements.

By the presented study, the material modelling has been decisively further developed, the set of basic measurement methods has been extended by a substantial experiment and the instantaneous profile measurement technique has been made applicable to Building Physics. Moreover, the influences of the process history and the process dynamics on the moisture transport and the resulting moisture profiles could be shown and proven. By that, not only a material model is now available which perfectly applies to the requirements of flexibility, applicability and extendibility. The obtained data provides also a powerful basis for further research and development.

A comparative analysis of the Dream proving and Hahnemannian proving of an existing Homoeopathic remedy {Bitis arietans arietans}
Authors:   , Pillay Annette
Published: December 2021

Dream provings are considered to be a new era in Homoeopathy and as such are met with a lot of scepticism. They involve getting in touch with the dynamic influence of the remedy and observing this influence on the vital force in the form of symptoms (Dam, 1998: 128). Dreams are a main focus of the proving as they are considered to be the 'royal way to the psycho-dynamic depth of the state of the remedy being proved' (Dam, 1998: 128). The motivations for their acceptance or rejection are both reasonable. To determine if they are provings that should appear in the Materia Medica and Repertory it needed to be seen if they revealed the same features of a remedy that a classical proving provides.

Hydrogenation of coconut oil into Biofuel (bio-jet fuel and high-value low molecule hydrocarbons)
Authors:   , Zikhonjwa Emmanuel
Published: December 2021

The performance of Ni/HZSM-5, HZSM-5, and without a catalyst have been investigated for the hydrogen pressure range of 10-40bar hydrocracking of coconut oil in a packed-bed tubular reactor between 300-450°C. This study concentrates on the effect of the operating parameters (reaction pressure, type of catalyst and reaction temperature) on the yield of transportation fuel carbon range (C5-C22) using the One-Variable-At-A-Time approach. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of process conditions which includes: temperature, pressure, and presence of a catalyst, and to compare the activity of Ni/HZSM-5, HZSM-5 and without catalysts. All tested catalysts were effective in attaining biofuel range in the liquid product. The highest yield and performance of gasoline liquid composition 83.03% was obtained from the reaction pressure at constant temperature of 450 ͦC in 40bar where HZSM-5 catalysts was used, the yield of gasoline liquid composition 82.25% was also produced at constant pressure of 40 bar in 300 ͦC where promoted catalyst(Ni/HZSM-5) was used. Hydrocracking coconut oil under Ni/HZSM-5 catalysts produced the highest yield of jet fuel liquid compositions 78.73% at constant temperature 300°C, and pressure of 10 bar, this was due to less coke that was formed within a reactor and less temperature of 300°C. The highest yield of jet fuel liquid composition 75.67% was also produced at constant pressure of 10 bar at muximum temperature of 450 ͦ C, this was also due to less coke that was formed within a reactor where HZSM-5 was used because of less pressure applied. For the highest yield of diesel liquid composition 24.04%, constant temperature at 400 ͦC of 20 bar where Ni/HZSM-5 was used in figure:5-9 and the highest yield of diesel liquid composition 25.15% was also produced at constant pressure of 20 bar in 450 ͦC where HZSM-5 was used. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) coupled with Energy- dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were employed for catalyst characterization. XRD patterns confirm the success of metal doping on ZSM-5. Major peaks at 9.1° and 22.9° corresponding to ZSM-5 crystals were observed in ZSM-5. Impregnation with metals reduced the crystallinity of ZSM-5 supported catalysts.
Examining issues influencing effective facilities management practice on selected public sector buildings in South Africa
Authors:   , Ndlovu Petronella Minenhle
Published: December 2021

The facilities management (FM) industry has been confronted with a number of challenges and obstacles when it comes to the implementation of effective and efficient facilities management in public sector buildings. Thus, this study: investigates the current nature and extent of facilities management practice in public sector buildings; determines the technical roles of the facilities management team in the life cycle of public sector buildings; determines the competencies required for effective FM practices in public sector buildings; investigatesthe challengesinhibiting effective FM practice in public sector buildings, determines the drivers and enablers for effective FM practice in public sector buildings; and also recommends strategies for effective FM in public sector buildings in South Africa. The study utilized primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained from the respondents through a questionnaire survey of 39 inspectors of the provincial Public Works department in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The questionnaire elicited information on issues influencing effective facilities management practices on selected public sector buildings. The secondary data was generated from literature from which the research instrument was developed. Data analysis was carried out using mean item score, percentage, factor analysis and T-test. The research findings indicated that most organizations were predominantly utilizing unplanned maintenance strategies and as such, involved repair work and corrective maintenance rather than predictive and preventive maintenance. The study also found insufficient funding, irregular, or fixed budgeting and the absence of a policy guideline for infrastructural development and maintenance of buildings as the major challenge affecting FM practices in the study area. The predominant drivers of FM practices are design of organizational structure, spirit of teamwork and sharing of FM knowledge and skills. The availability of policy/regulations supporting the maintenance of public buildings, availability of funds, hiring of better skilled professionals and an increase in the level of awareness of FM benefits were found to be enablers of FM practices. Based on these findings, the study recommends the need to employ a planned maintenance strategy in the day-to-day maintenance of public sector buildings. Furthermore, there is a need to have a policy in place that stands as a guideline for all work, strategies and processes for FM in public sector buildings. This study adds to the existing body of knowledge by providing useful information on factors that could enhance the effectiveness of facilities management in public sectors buildings in South Africa and beyond.
Privacy for D2D communications based applications and services in IoT enabled networks
Authors:   , Bopape L. P.
Published: December 2021

With the advent of IoT, Device-to-Device (D2D) communications has afforded a new paradigm that reliably facilitates data exchange among devices in proximity without necessarily involving the base (core) network. It is geared towards the need to improve network performance where short-range communications is concerned, as well as supporting proximitybased services. However, the relentless growth in the number of network end-users as well as interconnected communication-capable devices, in the next-generation IoT-based 5G cellular networks has resulted in novel services and applications, most of which are security-sensitive. It is thus of paramount importance that security issues be addressed. A posing challenge is that the devices are mostly resource-constrained in both power and computing. As such, it is not practical to implement present day as well as traditional security frameworks and protocols under such a scenario, unless strides are taken towards the improvements of data throughput rates, higher bandwidth provisioning, lower round trip latencies, enhanced spectral efficiencies, and energy efficiency (leading to even lower power consumption, by the already constrained devices) in IoT 5G/LTE networks. Therefore, this work focused on exploring and designing schemes that enhance security and privacy among communicating parties. Otherwise, without reliable as well as robust privacy and security preservation measures in the network, most services and applications will be exposed to various forms of malicious attacks. With such a widened cyber-attack space, both privacy and security for end users can easily be compromised. The work herein addresses privacy for subscribers to the various available services and applications as well as security of the associated data. Ultimately, we propose a Fog-Cloud computing paradigm-assisted security framework that comprises two schemes. The aim is to implement a lightweight-based cartographic algorithm that ensures that communication overheads, round trip latencies, computational loads as well as energy consumption by the otherwise resource-constrained surveillance cameras deployed remotely, are kept minimal. Overall, by way of both analysis and simulation, we ascertain that a Fog-Cloud computing-based lightweight security-based scheme has the potential to greatly improve security and privacy preservation, as well as overall performance despite the resource-constrained nature of the devices.
Halide Edip and the Turkification of Armenian Children: Enigmas, Problems and Questions
Authors:   Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Foundation, Khachatryan Shushan
Published: December 2021

It is a well-known fact that the Islamisation of Christian children in the Ottoman Empire has a long history. In the great majority of cases Islamisation was carried out forcibly, accompanied by the erasure of a child’s ethnic-religious identity for those who remembered it and totally hiding their ethnic roots and religious affiliation from those who didn’t. The whole process of cultivating a new identity and character was a matter of time and of contested methods. This article identifies a problem area, raising questions and analyzing the role of Turkish intellectual Halidé Edip in the state policy of Turkification of Armenian children at the Antoura orphanage during the Armenian Genocide. It draws comparisons between the three memoirs of Armenian orphans from that orphanage that are known to date, those of Garnik Banean (Karnig Panian as written in his English language memoir), Harutyun Alboyajyan, and Melgon Petrosean and that written by Halidé Edip. As a result, certain essential differences, ploys, as well as facts disguised by Edip have been collected and presented in this article. Therefore, the research carried out identifies the problems areas relating to various aspects of the Antoura orphanage by raising new questions, offering explanations and new approaches as well as highlighting issues that need to be researched further.

Dünyada gerçekleşen bütün üretim ve tüketim faaliyetleri elektrik enerjisine ihtiyaç duyar. Nüfus artışı ve teknolojinin gelişimi, bu ihtiyacı daha da arttırarak doğal kaynakların hızlı bir şekilde tüketilmesine neden olur. Günümüzde her alanda enerji kullanımı zorunlu olduğundan, yenilenebilir enerjiye olan ihtiyaç da bu zorunluluğa paralel olarak artar. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları doğal ve sınırsız olarak bulunsa da kullanım potansiyeli bölgelere göre değişiklik gösterir. Türkiye’de rüzgâr potansiyeli, rüzgâr enerjisi eldesine elverişli olmasına rağmen üretim oranı dış ülkelere göre daha azdır. Bu nedenle, verimli bir rüzgâr çiftliğinin kurulması için en uygun bölgenin seçilmesi önemli bir karar problemidir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de rüzgâr enerjisinden en fazla oranda yararlanabilmek için, kurulacak yeni bir rüzgâr çiftliğinin hem karada hem de denizde rüzgâr türbinlerinin olmasına karar verilmiştir. Öncelikle, Türkiye rüzgâr haritası ve iller temelinde elektrik tüketim verilerinden yararlanılarak bir ön eleme yapılmıştır. Seçim problemleri gerçek hayatta birden fazla ölçüte bağlı olduğundan, bu çalışmada çözüm yaklaşımı olarak bir Çok Ölçütlü Karar Verme (ÇÖKV) tekniği olan Analitik Ağ Süreci (ANP) kullanılmıştır. Belirlenen ölçütler temelinde, enerji sektöründeki uzmanlardan oluşan bir karar verici grubunun ikili karşılaştırmaları sonucunda, kurulacak bir rüzgâr türbini çiftliği için en uygun ilin İzmir olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma ile aynı anda hem kara hem denizde kurulacak bir rüzgâr çiftliği için en uygun yer seçimi sistematik bir yaklaşım ile belirlenmiş, literatüre de bu açıdan bir katkı sunulmuştur.

Berdasarkan observasi awal di SMA Negeri 2 Tanjung Selor, diketahui bahwa hasil belajar peserta didik kelas X MIPA 2 masih relatif rendah. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari ketuntasan belajar klasikal pada data awal kelas X MIPA 2 untuk mata pelajaran Biologi sebesar 41%. Hasil belajar yang masih rendah ini disebabkan oleh metode pembelajaran yang diterapkan masih menggunakan metode ceramah (metode konvensional). Metode ini membentuk peserta didik menjadi pasif dan kurang kreatif sehingga perlu adanya model pembelajaran yang membuat peserta didik menjadi aktif. Model pembelajaran yang dapat diterapkan untuk lebih dapat mengaktifkan peserta didik salah satunya adalah model pembelajaran Two Stay Two Stray yang divariasikan dengan LKS Word Square. Jenis penelitian ini adalah Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peningkatan belajar materi Keanekaragaman Hayati melalui penerapan metode Two Stay Two Stray yang divariasikan dengan LKS Word Square di kelas X MIPA 2 SMA Negeri 2 Tanjung Selor.

The origin and purpose of juzes is one of the most important issues in the historiography of Kazakhstan. Despite significant changes in methodological approaches to the study of the history of the Kazakh people, disagreements still persist.Zhuzes became a real form of social and political organization of the Kazakh people. Scientists do not have a consensus about the time of the appearance of juzes, the reasons for their appearance and the internal structure.In Kazakhstani historiography, Juzes are recognized as an integral part of a single Kazakh nation and traditionally established unions of tribes inhabiting their territories.As a result of religious and spiritual processes in the Golden Horde, and then in the Kazakh Khanate, the division of the state and tribes into three parts gradually acquired a religious and spiritual character. After the reorganization of tribal organizations and Juzes, genealogical ties and Juz systems played an important role in the sphere of power and ideological relations. Kazakh biys regulated the organization and interaction of Kazakhs as a single ethnic group. This was mainly due to the consumer orientation of the nomadic economy, as well as spiritual and ideological needs. Therefore, the system of genealogical kinship and dynasties played an important ideological and regulatory role in the life of a nomadic society.Key words:Kazakh ethnos, zhuzes, yassaviya tarikat, spiritual and religious processes, biys institute, historical process, ethnogenesis.

Transcending and including diversity
Authors: Lattuada Pier Luigi
Published: December 2021

Lead with differences is typical of the mental process itself. This paper hypothesizes that there are different levels of thinking and that in order to handle differences in a non-judgmental way by welcoming them, transcending, and including them, rather than excluding or judging them, it is necessary to tap into the supra-rational levels of thinking. A specific transpersonal outlook is expounded, characterised by a particular cognitive process called Transe-cognition, whose founding elements are Second Attention, Further Mode and Integral Thinking.
Governing Dynamics in Complex Systems using Big Data Information
Authors: Nutu Catalin
Published: December 2021

The paper is presenting different dynamics of an economic complex system, based on certain assumptions made within each of the presented models in the paper. The assumptions used are allowing estimating and forecasting the evolution of the respective complex economic system. This estimation can be made in the “classical” way, which is to say without the use of big data, in which case the results are more prone to errors, or with the use of the recordings of big data, which delivers a much more accurate estimation of the evolution within the complex systems. Throughout the paper the term “with sustainable growth” is used with the meaning of “ecological growth” and it refers to durable economic systems where the environmental issues are taken into consideration, whereas the term “without sustainable growth” or “conventional growth” refers to the economic systems where the environmental issues are not taken into account.

Abstract. At SMEAR II research station in Hyytiälä, located in the Finnish boreal forest, the process of new particle formation and the role of ions has been investigated for almost 20 years near the ground and at canopy level. However, above SMEAR II, the vertical distribution and diurnal variation of these different atmospheric ions are poorly characterized. In this study, we assess the atmospheric ion composition in the stable boundary layer, residual layer, mixing layer and free troposphere, and the 5 evolution of these atmospheric ions due to photochemistry and turbulent mixing through the day. To measure the vertical profile of atmospheric ions, we developed a tailored setup for online mass spectrometric measurements, capable of being deployed in a Cessna 172 with minimal modifications. Simultaneously, instruments dedicated to aerosol properties measured in a second Cessna. We conducted a total of 16 measurement flights in May 2017, during the spring, which is the most active new particle formation season. A flight day typically consisted of three distinct flights through the day (dawn, morning and afternoon) to 10 observe the diurnal variation and at different altitudes (from 100 m to 3200 m above ground), and to capture the boundary layer development from stable boundary layer, residual layer to mixing layer, and the free troposphere. Our observations showed that the ion composition is distinctly different in each layer and depends on the air mass origin and time of the day. Before sunrise, the layers are separated from each other and have their own ion chemistry. We observed that the ions present within the stable layer are of the same composition as the ions measured at the canopy level. During daytime when the mixing layer evolved and the compounds are vertically mixed, we observed that highly oxidised organic molecules are distributed to the top of the boundary layer. The ion composition in the residual layer varies with each day, showing similarities with either the stable boundary layer or the free troposphere. Finally, within the free troposphere, we detected a variety of carboxylic acids and ions that are likely containing halogens, originating from the Arctic Sea.
