Розвиток знань та умінь щодо збереження здоров’я здобувачів освіти є одним з ключових завдань навчального процесу в сфері фізкультурно-спортивної освіти. Необхідно формувати в майбутніх тренерів у процесі навчання розуміння важливості збереження власного та здоров’я молодих спортсменів. Мета: обґрунтувати значення здоров’язбережувальної компетентності майбутніх тренерів з виду спорту. Матеріал і методи: теоретичні методи педагогічного дослідження. Результати. Підготовка сучасного тренера з виду спорту не буде якісною без сформованості в структурі професійної компетентності орієнтації на збереження здоров’я. Уявлення про здоров’язбережувальну компетентність тренера з виду спорту та її формування в процесі навчання залишається недостатньо розробленим. Її структура мусить включати характеристики, які забезпечують втілення здоров’язбереження як на особистісному рівні спортивного тренера, а також які будуть сформовані в процесі підготовки вихованців. Основою здоров’язбережувальної компетентності тренера з виду спорту є розуміння сутності спорту як діяльності спрямованої на формування, збагачення та збереження здоров’я тих, хто займаються, а не тільки на досягнення найвищого результату у змаганнях. Відповідно до цієї мети мусить будуватися спеціалізована фахова підготовка майбутніх спортивних тренерів. Висновки. Виявлено, що недостатньо уваги приділяється процесу розвитку уявлень майбутніх тренерів з виду спорту щодо оздоровчої спрямованості майбутньої професійної діяльності. Встановлені напрямки, які слід розвивати в процесі формування здоров’язбережувальної компетентності майбутніх тренерів з виду спорту. Визначено, що першочергове значення у якісній фаховій діяльності спортивного тренера мають теоретичні знання та практичні навички щодо забезпечення здоров’я атлетів на різних етапах багаторічної підготовки. Вони спираються на особистісний рівень прихильності до ведення здорового способу життя, а також володіння стратегіями формування здоров’язбережувального середовища навчально-тренувального процесу. Подальше формулювання чітких вимог до здоров’язбережувальної компетентності спортивних тренерів сприятиме підвищенню якості підготовки майбутніх спеціалістів.

Корисна дія фізичних вправ як оздоровчого (лікувального) засобу доведена багатьма дослідженнями і не викликає сумнівів. Водночас не припиняються дискусії серед науковців щодо обсягів рухової активності, інтенсивності виконання вправ, доцільності використання того чи іншого різновиду фізичного навантаження в аспекті впливу на здоров’я людини в цілому і, особливо, серцево-судинної системи як однієї з головних ланок організму, яка визначає здоров’я, якість і тривалість життя. Результати ряду наукових досліджень дають суперечливі дані стосовно цих питань. Наприклад, у розряд дискусійних перейшло твердження, що спортивні навантаження руйнують здоров’я і зменшують тривалість життя. Метою нашого дослідження є формування уявлення про оптимальній обсяг, інтенсивність, специфіку (різновиди) фізичного навантаження для забезпечення здоров’я серцево-судинної системи і тривалого активного довголіття. Деякі експерти припускають, що досягнення екстремальних рівнів підготовленості з використанням інтенсивних вправ може спровокувати виникнення серцево-судинних захворювань і збільшити ризик раптової смерті. Водночас існують дані, які показали поступове зниження смертності в залежності від збільшення кардіореспіраторної дієздатності, але не виявили її верхнього порогу, за яким ризики почали б зростати. Іншими словами, автори цих досліджень не знайшли доказів, які свідчили б про шкоду, пов’язану з екстремальним рівнем фізичної підготовки. Таким чином, для середньостатистичної людини індустріального суспільства більш актуальною постає проблема недостатнього рівня фізичного навантаження, аніж не надмірного. Одним з ключових питань в контексті здоров’я серцево-судинної системи є особливості впливу фізичних вправ різної спрямованості. Дослідники намагаються краще зрозуміти ступінь причетності сприяння медіаторам здоров’я серцево-судинної системи аеробної підготовленості і м’язової сили.

Terminating to Renegotiate? Strategic Exit from International Investment Treaties
Authors: Huikuri Tuuli-Anna
Published: October 2024

How can dissatisfied parties adjust the terms of international cooperation in asymmetric agreements? While powerful states can often effectively demand renegotiation, others may struggle to convince their partners to redistribute the gains from cooperation. Strategic exit, whereby a dissatisfied state conducts unilateral exit from an agreement to initiate new negotiations, may become an attractive option in such situations. This paper investigates the prevalence of strategic exit in the international investment treaty regime, where backlash against investment dispute settlement has led some governments to exit from their bilateral investment treaties. I present evidence from two theory-building case studies of investment treaty terminations and renegotiations by Ecuador and Indonesia, including elite interviews with key policymakers. I show that while exit has successfully led to some new negotiations, dissatisfied governments have been unlikely to exit treaties only for the purposes of catalyzing reform. Rather, exit becomes attractive when domestic political benefits mitigate the international reputational costs of exit. The strategic benefit of terminations for catalyzing new negotiations, although not necessarily sought after by the withdrawing state, more likely emerges as a secondary benefit of exit. The theoretical insights from the investment treaty regime can also inform renegotiation dynamics in other international regimes.
Photonic RF and microwave signal processing with microcombs
Authors: Moss David
Published: October 2024

Microcombs are powerful tools as sources of multiple wavelength channels for photonic RF signal processing. They offer a compact device footprint, large numbers of wavelengths, and wide Nyquist bands. Here, we review recent progress on microcomb-based photonic RF signal processors, including true time delays, reconfigurable filters, Hilbert transformers, differentiators, and channelizers. The strong potential of optical micro-combs for RF photonics applications in terms of functions and integrability is also discussed.
Aging and Trauma in Older Yenish (Swiss Travelers): An Explorative Qualitative Study
Authors: Rossi Sandra , Heim Eva , Lerzer Vera , Maercker Andreas
Published: October 2024

Purpose: This qualitative study explores how cultural factors influence the perception of aging, older people, and traumatic experiences in the Yenish community in Switzerland. The Yenish are an ethnic minority with a traveling lifestyle who were targeted by a Swiss governmental youth care foundation scheme called "Kinder der Landstrasse” (Children of the Countryroad) from 1926 to 1973, which forcibly removed children from their families to eliminate their traveling lifestyle. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with ten older (M=62.9) and six younger (M=34.33) Yenish to explore old age and trauma in the Yenish community. The interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed according to thematic analysis. Results: The study's findings indicate that older Yenish individuals are viewed very positively in the Yenish community, with respect, honor, and admiration for their survival and valuable life experience. Only the physical aspects of aging were viewed negatively. Furthermore, the findings suggest that not only did the older generation of Yenish, who were directly impacted by Kinder der Landstrasse, experience trauma, but also that the younger generation inherited the trauma through narratives and an overly cautious and fearful upbringing.Conclusions: There is evidence that the Yenish community suffered a historical trauma which should be acknowledged and addressed in the mental health field and in Swiss society.
Fractional Hilbert transformers with sRF photonic using microcombs
Authors: Moss David
Published: October 2024

We report a photonic microwave and RF fractional Hilbert transformer based on an integrated Kerr micro-comb source. The micro-comb source has a free spectral range (FSR) of 50GHz, generating a large number of comb lines that serve as a high-performance multi-wavelength source for the transformer. By programming and shaping the comb lines according to calculated tap weights, we achieve both arbitrary fractional orders and a broad operation bandwidth. We experimentally characterize the RF amplitude and phase response for different fractional orders and perform system demonstrations of real-time fractional Hilbert transforms. We achieve a phase ripple of < 0.15 rad within the 3-dB pass-band, with bandwidths ranging from 5 to 9 octaves, depending on the order. The experimental results show good agreement with theory, confirming the effectiveness of our approach as a new way to implement high-performance fractional Hilbert transformers with broad processing bandwidth, high reconfigurability, and greatly reduced size and complexity.
The Welfare Consequences of Political Rivalry in a Polarized Era
Authors: Bitton Gal , Treger Clareta
Published: October 2024

Affective polarization—interpersonal animus between political rivals—is a growing global concern. Existing research shows it affects a-political domains, influencing residential, relational, financial, and labor market choices. This study explores whether political rivalry in a polarized era spills over to another non-partisan domain: welfare provision. We examine whether political biases shape perceptions of welfare deservingness, typically guided by effort cues and political ideology. Using the Israeli 2023 judicial reform crisis as a case study, we conducted a pre-registered experiment among Israelis, manipulating the effort cues and political affiliations of hypothetical welfare recipients. We find that while motivated recipients are generally seen as more deserving, political biases significantly skew these evaluations. Out-group recipients are viewed as less deserving than in-group members. Additionally, motivation bears a higher reward for recipients absent political cues, as compared to both in- and out-group motivated recipients. The study highlights the societal risks of escalating political divisions.
The Coupling Constant of Dirac Magnetic Monopoles is not 34.259 but 308.331
Authors: Kühne Rainer Walter
Published: October 2024

Textbooks tell us that the coupling constant of Dirac magnetic monopoles is 34.259. Here I show by using the quark hypothesis that at zero temperature the coupling constant is as high as 308.331. Moreover I show that it is a running coupling constant and is smaller than 0.5 at the Planck temperature.
Geospatial Analysis of Landslide Susceptibility Through Machine Learning In Relation to Environmental Indicators Across Global Regions
Authors: Nair Arjun
Published: October 2024

Landslides cause over a billion dollars per year in damages and the situation is only exacerbated by climate change. Landslide forecasting, as a result, is key for detecting these disasters. Traditional landslide prediction models often rely on localized data and extensive computational resources, limiting their applicability on a global scale and therefore have an accuracy rate of around 30%. Addressing this gap, our research leverages a dataset which uses an enhanced version of NASA’s Global Landslide Catalog. The dataset spans from 2010-2020, containing 10,100 landslide events with meteorological and geological factors preceding the event. After identifying key drivers of landslides and the minimum slope requirements for different lithologies, a Random Forest model was created using python to predict landslides based on their severity index. An 81% accuracy rate was found when trained and tested, proving to be much more effective when compared to traditional models. The model can now be used to provide a novel, data-driven perspective on landslide prediction allowing for a quicker evacuation of areas prone to landslides and providing enough time for countermeasures to be employed.
Focused ultrasound and immunotherapy for melanoma brain metastases

Published: October 2024

Using a “two-site” model of melanoma, determine the experimental therapeutic efficacy (i.e. tumor growth control, improved survival, and CD8 T cell recruitment) of αCD40 administration against extracranial and intracranial tumors. Determine whether enhancing delivery of αCD40 to the intracranial tumor via BTB opening with FUS and MBs enhances experimental therapeutic efficacy (i.e. tumor growth control, improved survival, and CD8 T cell recruitment). Determine whether thermal ablation of the extracranial tumor in the presence of αCD40 enhances experimental therapeutic efficacy for one or both tumors (i.e. tumor growth control, improved survival, and CD8 T cell recruitment). Determine whether, in the context of thermal ablation of the extracranial tumor + αCD40, BTB opening with FUS and MBs enhances experimental therapeutic efficacy in the intracranial tumor (i.e. tumor growth control, improved survival, and CD8 T cell recruitment).

Published: October 2024

Awareness of social biases is crucial as they impact both individual behavior and societal outcomes. Whereas previous research indicates that self-awareness of ego-nonthreatening biases enhances self-regulation, the effects of self-awareness of ego-threatening biases remain underexplored. Preliminary findings suggest that awareness of ego-threatening biases related to rumination and may lead to maladaptive states. However, these findings await replication with standardized instruments. To address this gap, we conducted two studies. In Study 1 (N = 1609), we developed and validated the 12-item Self-Awareness of Ego-Threatening Biases Questionnaire (SAETBQ). Consistent with our hypotheses, self-awareness of ego-threatening biases (as measured by the SAETBQ) correlated with higher moral disengagement, lower self-diagnostic motive, and lower integrative self-knowledge, indicating a tendency towards ego deterioration, whereas self-awareness of ego-nonthreatening biases (as measured by the Metacognitive Self questionnaire) showed the opposite pattern of correlations, indicating a tendency towards beneficial self-regulation. In Study 2 (N = 681), Dark Triad traits correlated positively and Light Triad traits negatively with self-awareness of ego-threatening biases. These results underscore the complex role of self-awareness in managing cognitive biases.
Hikikomori and internet addiction in US college students
Authors: Tran Mai , Kay Cameron Stuart
Published: October 2024

Hikikomori is a form of extreme social withdrawal that is characterized by self-isolating in one’s living quarters. While past research had found a correlation between Hikikomori and internet addiction, the research was limited to a sample of college students in Japan. With cases of both Hikikomori and internet addiction being recognized across the globe, more research is required to investigate this correlation in non-Japanese countries. In the current study, we administered the Hikikomori Questionnaire and Young’s Internet Addiction Test to 437 US college students recruited through Prolific. We found a sizeable positive correlation between Hikikomori and internet addiction (r = .30). We also found that the correlation among the US college students in our sample did not significantly differ from the correlation among the Japanese college students in the prior study (r = .39). Although more research is required to further understand the relationship, the present results indicate that extreme social withdrawal could be a risk factor for internet addiction in the US (and vice versa).

Commonalities TEND TO Attract
Authors: Ohnemus Alexander Luke
Published: October 2024

People of similar life history strategies, values, socioeconomic statuses, age, IQs, EQs, and genetics, TEND TO attract each other as romantic mates. Hereditarianism is both morally and factually wrong. Marginalized groups are more entitled to identity politics, to protect their human rights and negative utilitarianism. Educational websites may especially have skin in the game. Life history strategy applies to humans as well. Romances require enough shared values to operate. Higher socioeconomic status, IQs, EQs, and genetic commonality, excluding 2nd cousins and closer, attract romantic partners. Lacking white privilege and being mixed race can bring serious trauma, and solutions MAY, or may not, develop.
A Review of Biological Foundations of Anger
Authors: Jayathilaka N.W.S.  , Jayasinha B.L.E.
Published: October 2024

Anger, happiness, sadness, fear, surprise, and disgust are the six fundamental emotions that people can experience. Anger is a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility. It is a blaming emotion that is aimed against individuals, and it frequently leads to violent actions. However, anger serves survival purposes and is embedded in humans. While anger is typically viewed as a psychological or social phenomenon, it also has a biological basis. This literature review focuses on anger and its underlying biological foundations. The biological basis of anger can be explained through the activation of the amygdala, which plays a crucial role in emotional processing. Additionally, studies have shown that anger is associated with decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex. When a person becomes angry, this region of the brain is less active, leading to impulsive behaviors and decreased rational thinking. This explains why individuals often engage in aggressive or violent behaviors when angry. Understanding the biological basis of anger can help us better manage and control this emotion. By recognizing the physiological changes that occur when we become angry, we can take steps to calm ourselves down and develop healthier coping mechanisms.Keywords: Emotions, Anger, Amygdala, Prefrontal cortex, Biological basis

Human culture is a very important subject area in the study of man. According to anthropologists, onlyman can maintain a culture. Some anthropologists said that the personality of man is also greatly affectedin the analysis of culture. They termed personality as the behavioral patterns that are often used by aperson and the strategies that are used to solve the various problems that they face. Here the relationshipof culture from birth to formation, growth and survival of man is highlighted. Accordingly, it will beclear that the culture of which he is a part and the history of the group or society to which he belongsinfluence the development of a man's personality. The personality developed in this way is completelyconnected with the individuality of man. however, man cannot exist without his culture because hispersonality and individuality are dependent on his cultural identity. Therefore, the personality andindividuality of man is shaped by the social culture in which he exists. It seems that this construction isdone by using legends and literature of respective societies. Also, the value systems of the society towhich a certain person belonged, are included in literature folk tales, folk poems, and the advice ofelders. These legends are a collection of fables considered to be ancient stories. what is underinvestigation here is the construction of that cultural identity by using those legends. according to that,the poem ‘’Daru Nalavilla’’ by the poet S.

Wedged between East and West - The chances of an interest-based Hungarian foreign policy and the war in Ukraine
Authors:   University of Pécs, Schmidt Andrea
Published: October 2024

Hungarian foreign policy has been in the international spotlight, raising doubts about its direction. The purpose of this article is to highlight the contradictions between an interest-based and a value-based foreign policy. A theoretical introduction is followed by a brief analysis of the elements of a pragmatic foreign policy. At the same time, the second part of the paper presents a short case study from the Western Balkans. The Hungarian position on two countries, Kosovo and Serbia, will be analysed, not forgetting that these two countries are examples of the changes that have taken place in the relations between Hungary and Serbia. Despite earlier nationalist tensions, Serbia has become Hungary's almost sole ally in the region, putting the minority issue in the background and adopting a pragmatic approach. In this essay, we will also try to identify the considerations that guided Hungarian diplomacy in its position towards the West. Finally, we will discuss the extent to which the original goal of "occupying Brussels" was realistic and the consequences of Hungary's pragmatic foreign policy.
The End of a Partnership and Cooperation. How Sino-Russian partnership ruined perception of China in Central Europe
Authors:   University of West Bohemia, Pilsen, Czech Republic, Waisová Šárka
Published: October 2024

Since the first decade of the 21st century, pro-China attitudes have gradually become the political mainstream in Central Europe. Today, however, the relationship between Central European countries and Beijing is different. While Beijing remains an important partner for Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland have turned away from cooperation with China, and Slovakia's enthusiasm for China has cooled somewhat. This article examines why the Czech Republic and Poland, but not Slovakia and Hungary, have stopped building and maintaining their relations with China. It uses contrafactual analysis to find an answer. The article concludes that what caused the change and ruined the relations between Czechia and Poland on the one hand and China on the other hand was China's building of relations with Russia. In contrast, Hungary and Fico's Slovakia, which have repeatedly refused to recognise the Russian invasion of Ukraine and have maintained relations with Moscow, continue to have good relations with China.

Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) are a priority vegetable crop due to their high domestic trade value and export potential. Potatoes are used for various purposes, both as a vegetable and as a carbohydrate substitute. In addition to being used as a vegetable, potatoes are also utilized as raw materials in the food industry, such as chips, potato flour, and potato starch. Due to the relatively low temperature requirement (20-22°C) for tuber formation, potato cultivation areas in Indonesia are generally located in mountainous regions. One of the potato commodity centers is in the city of Batu, particularly in the Bumiaji District. According to vegetable crop potential data from the Batu City extension program in 2022, the area planted with potatoes is 485.2 hectares with a production potential of 968 tons. Since potato plants are more susceptible to pests and diseases, substandard maintenance can lead to low harvest yields, poor sales, and even crop failure. This issue has led to the development of an application for diagnosing potato pests. The expert system uses forward chaining methods and is web-based. The expert system processes facts answered by users of the potato application, diagnoses the symptoms present, and generates diagnostic results in the form of solutions for the diagnosed potato plant diseases or pests. With the availability of an expert system application for diagnosing potato plant diseases and pests, the limitation of expert manpower is no longer a hindrance for potato farmers. Recommendations and information regarding potato diseases and pests can be obtained online without the need to consult a specialist.

PAULUS: Revista de Comunicação da FAPCOM
Authors: Editora Paulus
Published: October 2024

A revista recebe o nome de um dos grandes pensadores do mundo ocidental, Paulo de Tarso. Paulo (Paulus) é o sujeito que pensa o acontecimento e sua relação com a vida. Vive a experiênciade estar num mundo plural, expõe-se a dialogar com os intelectuais de seu tempo, encontrando-se com os de fora, com os diferentes, com as culturas e a fé. um pensador das fronteiras e do universal. Paulo, acima de tudo, foi um amante e buscador ousado da verdade. A Faculdade Paulus de Tecnologia e Comunicação FAPCOM nasce do espírito paulino, porque inspirada no apóstolo Paulo estabelece para si a missão de pensar e ser referência na área da comunicação. A palavra comunicação tornou-se uma das mais conhecidas e repetidas à exaustão, dá o nome aos meios diversos de comunicação e no dia a dia aparece nos diálogos informais. Contudo, vale a pergunta:o que é a comunicação? Realmente as pessoas se comunicam? As tecnologias e seus aparatos podem realmente se comunicar? A revista propõe ser um espaço onde possa se discutir acadêmica e criticamente esse acontecimento fundamental que é a comunicação. O acontecimento da comunicação implica que este reluza nas fronteiras da filosofia e das tecnologias. A filosofia torna-se uma das principais áreas com as quais o acontecimento comunicacional deve dialogar, pois foi ela que pôs primeiro a questão do que é a comunicação. Outra fronteira são as tecnologias que, no mundo contemporâneo, fazem-se presentes em todos os processos da vida humana. O núcleo de atuação da revista estabelece o diálogo entre comunicação, filosofia e tecnologia, com abertura ao que ocorre na sociedade contemporânea e aos seus desafios. A posição assumida pela revista é a da criticidade. Para dar conta de tal desafio de diálogo com o acontecimento comunicacional, publicar-se-á um dossiê sobre o tema central de cada revista, elaboradopor um pesquisador sênior. Trará um artigo internacional de importância acadêmica que ajude a ampliar a discussão central do tema da revista. Os artigos compõem-se de rica produção acadêmica de doutores, pluralizando a visão sobre o assunto tratado. Uma entrevista feita por um pesquisador júnior ajudará a compor uma nova visão, outra perspectiva ao tema estudado. Fundamental será a resenha de obras nacionais ou internacionais de autores queajudem a pensar a comunicação. Por fim, a resenha da melhor tese desenvolvida na área de comunicação ou da filosofia. A FAPCOM e a Paulus Editora unem-se a este espírito e desejam consolidar a sua missão de pensar a comunicação.

As witnesses to the ongoing genocidal assault on Palestinians in Gaza and further afield, we will not start this editorial with the horrifying, ever-increasing statistics,1 but instead with the words of two Palestinian writers. In November 2023, Nour al-Din Hajjaj, a 27-year-old Palestinian writer from Gaza, author of two novels and one play, wrote:
A Manifesto for Bread and Roses
Authors: Fiddian-Qasmiyeh Elena
Published: October 2024

In the midst of the mass displacement, dispossession and systematic killing of Palestinians in Gaza, this manifesto for “bread and roses” centralizes not only the rights of Palestinians in Gaza to life, safety, and security but also displaced people's rights to joy, beauty, and happiness. At a time when Palestinians in Gaza are being massacred and openly deprived of aid, it is, precisely, Palestinians’ commitment to joy and beauty being projected and practiced by displaced and dispossessed Palestinians in Gaza, which provides the impetus for this manifesto. Created around and centering the words and lifeworlds of Palestinians in Gaza, this piece is offered as an inevitably partial but needed archive of this more-than-massacre and as an archive that stands for the future. Starting with roses pushes us to reimagine what meaningful responses to displacement could, and should, entail.
Mediating Mundane Life
Authors: Alexander Bronte
Published: October 2024

The recent and ongoing exodus of Venezuelans to the surrounding Latin American region has sparked international humanitarian intervention. Drawing on research conducted in Brazil in late 2019, this article focuses on the state-led humanitarian response to Venezuelan migration and its collaborative efforts with the military and leading organizations. Looking at two sites of institutional care, I argue that temporal structures created by military-humanitarian agencies work to govern the everyday mobilities of urban migrants living without shelter, who are often framed as criminals or threats within neoliberal securitization narratives. This article further reveals conflicting temporalities with regard to the practice of waiting, whereby the act is viewed as risky when visible in urban public spaces but favored in institutional settings where it can be closely monitored.
Model Settlers, Model Laborers, and the Limits of the Anti-Slavery Colonial Imagination
Authors: Adderley Laura Rosanne
Published: October 2024

After the passage of the British law abolishing the slave trade in 1807, Great Britain devoted 60 years to attempting to suppress slave trading from the African continent. One major consequence of this campaign against the slave trade was the rescue of over 500,000 Africans from illegally operating slave ships. During the first two decades after 1807, Great Britain brought approximately five thousand such Africans into British Caribbean colonies. This article explores the earliest British policies related to this population, in conversation with more recent discussions of refugee management, and the impact of European colonial histories on professedly humanitarian projects.
Persistence on Living, Resistance for the Living
Authors: Qasmiyeh Yousif M.
Published: October 2024

It is through writing that times and spaces are made, ones that stand tall in the face of this world's incessant catastrophes. In this issue's Creative Encounters section, “The Radiator” by Ngoi Hui Chien tenderly questions both difference around us and us as difference, and how subjectivities that are arguably concerned with the homely can also be entry points to strangerhood in new settings. In the following collaborative work, Hanno Brankamp and Kodi Arnu Ngutulu view poetry from the optics of knowledge production whereby writing transcends writing-as-an- expression-of-suffering, instead offering the reader varied poetic voices from Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, including Joh Magok Kuerang (“Unrelenting Pursuit”), Chol Reech (“Planted Thorns”), Atem D. Alaak (“Away from Home”), Mary Aluel (“Empty Pockets”), and Mamer Amou (“Escaping My Identity”). Articulating a diversity of human conditions, spanning containment, fleeing, belonging, and strandedness, the poems’ intricate imaginings not only express such conditions but also reinscribe them as individual journeys that are worthy of narration.
Introduction
Authors: Mani Veena , Philip Shannon
Published: October 2024

Global North theories of being “young” or a “man” do not translate neatly onto the everyday lives of young men in the Global South (Jeffrey and McDowell 2004). The specters of colonialism, postcolonialism, and global capitalist inequalities, as well as the various politics of race, caste, class, sexualities, religion, and local histories, powerfully shape both the countries of the Global South as well as youth masculinities therein (Nayak 2016; Philip 2022; Mani and Krishnamurthy 2021). In such a context, this special issue seeks to put forward an empirically grounded understanding of youth masculinities from perspectives emerging and grounded in the Global South. The specific challenges, opportunities, desires, and practices of young men from the Philippines, India, South Africa, and Senegal, as well as various other contexts covered in this special issue, reveal the broader global dynamics shaping youth lives today.

Tame the Name
Authors: Heidari Amin
Published: October 2024

This article examines two mechanisms in treating Persian names in English-speaking contexts: name projection and name adoption. The article adopts Edward Said's Orientalism, noting Western-centric naming and colonial division with Western superiority. The treatment of the Oriental name will be discussed within the frame of linguistic Orientalism which refers to the portrayal or study of Eastern languages and cultures through the lens of Western superiority or exoticisation. Previously, this mindset projected the coloniser's preferred names onto the territory and individuals of the Other. Today, the name of the Other is governed as the subjects from different backgrounds are propelled to conform to the coloniser's preferences in choosing Anglo-sounding names. I will conclude that the shift from the authoritative name projection to the disciplinary name adoption manifests a Foucauldian trajectory from ‘sovereign power’ to modern ‘disciplinary power’ in taming the name of the Other.
Results of Transect Observations of Marine Mammals in the Tatar Strait and During Passages within Adjacent Water Areas in the Fall of 2018
Authors: Permyakov P. A. , Ryazanov S. D.
Published: October 2024

A vessel-based survey of marine mammals was carried out at transects in the southern part of the Tatar Strait and during passages within the Sea of Japan and the La Perouse Strait in October 2018. Such surveys had not been previously conducted in these areas during the fall. A total of five species of cetaceans (including the Dall’s porpoise, harbour porpoise, common dolphin, killer whale, and minke whale) and two species of pinnipeds (the Steller sea lion and northern fur seal) were sighted. The study showed a low occurrence of marine mammals in the area during the fall season.

Published: October 2024

We presented the results of comparative analysis of geomagnetic events identified by various indices. A previously developed technique is used to identify magnetic storms by the Dst index. As a basis for identification, we chose the previously developed method for identifying geomagnetic storms based on the Dst index. A similar method was implemented to identify geomagnetic events by the ap and AE indices. Comparative analysis includes: (1) identification of common geomagnetic events identified by various indices; (2) identification of cases when an event is a strong geomagnetic disturbance by one of the indices (Dst, ap, AE) and is not a geomagnetic event by at least one of the two remaining indices; and (3) a comparative analysis of the diurnal and seasonal distribution of the number of geomagnetic events identified by different indices.

Using the global total electron content data, the development of a moderate magnetic storm on November 7, 2022, is presented. The effects of the storm in the American and European sectors are compared. During the storm, manifestations in the ionosphere large-scale structures such as SED (storm enhanced density) and TOI (tongue of ionization) were detected.
On the question of the nature of the observed increase in the flow of gamma radiation during precipitation: the final closure of the hypothesis of radionuclides
Authors: Balabin Yu. V. , Germanenko A. V. , Gvozdevsky B. B.
Published: October 2024

Original experiments were carried out using a gamma-ray spectrometer installed at the cosmic ray station in Apatity. The spectrometer monitors the differential spectrum of gamma radiation coming from the atmosphere in the energy range of 0.1—4 MeV. Based on the results of these experiments, a final and unambiguous conclusion was made: the effect of an increase in gamma radiation during precipitation recorded at many stations of cosmic rays is not associated with the presence of radionuclides in precipitation or additional release of radionuclides from the soil. The effect is not related to radionuclides at all. The experiments confirm the hypothesis of the influence of meteorological processes on the propagation and interaction of secondary cosmic rays in the Earth’s atmosphere.
