Prince A. G. Shcherbatov (1850-1915) – an outstanding Russian agrarian educator of the late 19th – early 20th century. Part II
Authors: Kozlov Sergey Alekseevich
Published: July 2023

This work is the second part of the publication: Kozlov S. A. Prince A. G. Shcherbatov (1850-1915) – an outstanding Russian agrarian educator of the late XIX – early XX century. Part I // Manuscript. 2023. Vol. 16. Iss. 1. In the first part, the main areas of A. G. Shcherbatov’s multifaceted activities were identified and characterized: conducting economic and educational work, supporting the rural population, elaborating various scientific and practical issues in the field of agrarian science, as well as actively introducing advanced efficient methods into Russian agriculture and promoting these methods among peasants and land-owning nobles. In this part of the study, the author examines A. G. Shcherbatov’s activities starting from the period preceding the First Russian Revolution and up to the death of the Prince in 1915: he was productively engaged in scientific and analytical, economic and applied, as well as organizational work and at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries, Shcherbatov was involved in socio-political activities, taking an active part in the monarchist movement. As a result, the author concludes that the economic, socio-cultural, socio-political activities of Prince A. G. Shcherbatov reflected his commitment to both traditional Russian spiritual and economic values and the tasks of Russian state-building in general: a creative synthesis of bourgeois methods and traditional forms of both national consciousness and agrarian practice was required for the successful nationwide modernization of the early XX century (including in the field of agriculture).

Authors:   Pacific National University, Khabarovsk, Russia, Timoshenko Valery N. , Kurkova Natalia V. ,   Pacific National University, Khabarovsk, Russia
Published: July 2023

The end of the Cold War and the subsequent collapse of the bipolar international political system forced all participants in international relations to begin the process of reforming the usual tools of foreign policy communication. The moderator of the new collective security conjuncture was the United Nations under the auspices of the United States. Japan, as an ally of the United States and a direct member of the UN, needed to adapt the principles of its foreign policy to effectively integrate into the new system of international relations. Military conflicts around the world have challenged not only the fledgling system of collective response, but also its participants. This article attempts to determine the impact of new security challenges on the transformation of Japan's foreign policy and interaction with the United States within the framework of the Japan-U.S. politicalmilitary alliance. It uses materials declassified by the U.S. National Security Archive.

Evidence for the Adaptive Parsing of Non-Communicative Eye Movements during Joint Attention Interactions
Authors: Alhasan Ayeh , Caruana Nathan
Published: July 2023

During social interactions, the ability to detect and respond to gaze-based joint attention bids often involves the evaluation of non-communicative eye movements. However, very little is known about how much humans are able to track and parse spatial information from these non-communicative eye movements over time, and the extent to which this influences joint attention outcomes. This was investigated in the current study using an interactive computer-based joint attention game. Using a fully within-subjects design, we specifically examined whether participants were quicker to respond to communicative joint attention bids that followed predictive, as opposed to random or no, non-communicative gaze behaviour. Our results suggest that in complex, dynamic tasks, people adaptively use and dismiss non-communicative gaze information depending on whether it informs the locus of an upcoming joint attention bid. We also went further to examine the extent to which this ability to track dynamic spatial information was specific to processing gaze information. This was achieved by comparing performance to a closely matched non-social task where eye gaze cues were replaced with dynamic arrow stimuli. Whilst we found that people are also able to track and use dynamic non-social information from arrows, there was clear evidence for a relative advantage for tracking gaze cues during social interactions. The implications of these findings for social neuroscience and autism research are discussed.

A systematic review of positive childhood experiences and adult outcomes: Promotive and protective processes for resilience in the context of childhood adversity
Authors: Han Deborah , Dieujuste Nathalie , Doom Jenalee , Narayan Angela
Published: July 2023

Background: Research on positive childhood experiences (PCEs) as counterparts to childhood adversity has surged in the last five years. A systematic review of the additive and interactive effects of childhood adversity and PCEs across adult outcomes is needed that contextualizes the long-term correlates of childhood experiences within a developmental perspective. Objective: The current review synthesizes the empirical evidence for PCEs as resilience factors for a range of adult outcomes. Methods: Articles published until May 2023 were systematically identified according to PRISMA Guidelines through PubMed and PsycINFO databases and references of included articles. Then, 131 records were screened, and 58 studies were included. Results: Higher levels of PCEs were significantly but modestly associated with lower levels of childhood adversity. Higher levels of PCEs were associated with outcomes reflecting mental health, psychosocial functioning, physical health and health behaviors, and psychosocial stress. Most studies found direct, promotive effects of PCEs for more favorable outcomes. Few studies found significant interaction effects between childhood adversity and PCEs on outcomes, suggesting that PCEs may more frequently directly promote positive outcomes rather than moderate the effects of adversity on outcomes. Conclusions: Individuals’ childhood adversity and PCEs are somewhat independent sets of experiences; many individuals experience both, and the presence of one does not preclude the other. PCEs predict more favorable outcomes independent of childhood adversity more often than they interact with and moderate the effects of adversity on outcomes. Although the literature base is steadily growing, more research on PCEs in diverse and international samples is needed.
A Large-Scale Investigation of Everyday Moral Dilemmas
Authors: Yudkin Daniel Alexander , Goodwin Geoffrey , Reece Andrew Garrett , Gray Kurt , Bhatia Sudeep
Published: July 2023

Questions of right and wrong are central to daily life, yet scientific understanding of everyday moral dilemmas remains limited. We conducted a data-driven analysis of these phenomena by combining state-of-the-art tools in machine learning with survey-based methods. We extracted and analyzed 369,161 descriptions (“posts”) and 11M evaluations (“comments”) of dilemmas from the largest known online repository of everyday moral dilemmas: Reddit’s “Am I the Asshole?” Users described a wide variety of underexplored everyday dilemmas on topics ranging from broken promises to privately held emotions. Dilemmas involving relational obligations were the most frequently reported, while those pertaining to honesty were the most broadly condemned. The types of dilemmas people experienced depended on the interpersonal closeness of the interactants, with some dilemmas (e.g., politeness) more prominent in distant-other interactions, and others (e.g., relational transgressions) more prominent in close-other interactions. A preregistered follow-up investigation showed that similar dilemmas are reported in a census-stratified representative sample of the US population (N = 510). Finally, a longitudinal investigation showed that shifts in social interactions prompted by the global pandemic resulted in predictable shifts in landscape of moral dilemmas. Overall, this paper highlights the diversity of moral dilemmas experienced in daily life and contributes to the foundation of a moral psychology grounded in the vagaries of everyday experience.
A novel model of divergent predictive perception
Authors: Reeder Reshanne R , Sala Giovanni , van Leeuwen Tessa Marije
Published: July 2023

Predictive processing theories state that our subjective experience of reality is shaped by a balance of expectations based on previous knowledge about the world (i.e., priors) and confidence in sensory input from the environment. Divergent experiences (e.g., hallucinations, synaesthesia) are likely to occur when there is an imbalance between one’s reliance on priors and sensory input. In a novel theoretical model, inspired both by predictive processing and psychological principles, we propose that predictable divergent experiences are associated with natural or environmentally-induced prior/sensory imbalances: inappropriately strong or inflexible (i.e., maladaptive) high-level priors (beliefs) combined with low sensory confidence can result in reality discrimination issues, characteristic of psychosis; maladaptive low-level priors (sensory expectations) combined with high sensory confidence can result in atypical sensory sensitivities and persistent divergent percepts, characteristic of synaesthesia. Crucially, we propose that whether different divergent experiences manifest with dominantly sensory (e.g., hallucinations) or non-sensory characteristics (e.g., delusions), depends on mental imagery ability, which is a spectrum from aphantasia (absent or weak imagery) to hyperphantasia (extremely vivid imagery). We theorize that imagery is critically involved in shaping the sensory richness of divergent perceptual experience. In sum, to predict a range of divergent perceptual experiences in both clinical and general populations, three factors must be accounted for: a maladaptive use of priors, individual level of confidence in sensory input, and mental imagery ability. These ideas can be expressed formally using non-parametric regression modeling. We provide evidence for our theory from previous work, and deliver predictions for future research.
The Role of Children’s Emotion Regulation and Parental Emotion Socialization in Preschoolers’ Behavioral Difficulties during the COVID-19 Lockdown
Authors: İşcanoğlu Zülal , Çakmak Zeynep , Çiçek Nuray Mustafaoğlu , Steele Miriam
Published: July 2023

Turkey, like many countries, implemented protective measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. One such measure involved isolating young children to reduce virus transmission. However, this regulation presented parents with the challenging task of juggling work responsibilities while caring for their young children without the usual support from external resources. Given these difficult circumstances, young children may struggle with emotion regulation, while isolation can impede parents from effectively addressing their children’s negative emotions. Therefore, this study aims to explore how children’s capacity for emotion regulation and maternal emotion socialization practices interact to predict children’s behavioral difficulties. The study revealed a positive correlation between maternal punitive and minimizing emotion socialization reactions and children’s behavioral difficulties. However, this association was primarily observed in children with high negative emotionality and low effortful control. Notably, when children had low negative emotionality scores, maternal minimizing emotion socialization behaviors were negatively associated with their behavior problems. These findings support the idea that during stressful periods, such as a pandemic, the diathesis-stress model may become more applicable. It emphasizes the interaction between individuals’ vulnerabilities (e.g., lower emotion regulation abilities) and environmental triggers (e.g., less supportive emotion socialization practices) leading to unfavorable outcomes, such as higher levels of children’s externalizing problems. These results underscore the importance of tailored intervention programs for parent-child dyads experiencing limited psychological resources during stressful events like a pandemic.
Klatsche oder Kantersieg? Framesemantische Analysen zur Perspektivierung in Fußballspielberichten
Authors: Meier-Vieracker Simon
Published: July 2023

This paper deals with perspectivation as a central means of biased football coverage on the web-sites of individual football clubs of the German Bundesliga from a frame-semantic point of view. Based on an aligned corpus of 582 football match reports, with two texts on the same event from different perspectives, it is shown how and by which linguistic means the course of the match and individual scenes are framed differently on the websites of the winning and the losing team. Using both quantitative methods like keyword analysis and automated frame-semantic annotation and qualitative methods it is demonstrated that different framings of the same events and scenes allow for different evaluations. Since football match reports have to display the authors’ football expertise, this expertise consists not least of the ability to convey evaluations in coherent and comprehensible ways.

Published: July 2023

Forest fire has been one of the compelling issues in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region. To promote regeneration, clearing fields for agriculture, hunting, and security reasons, local people deliberately set forests on fire. In this paper, active fire incidents, temperature, precipitation, and the changes of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and Carbon monoxide (CO) value associated with forest fire were evaluated. The active forest fire incidents obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite are supplemented by the ERA5-land dataset to see the relation between precipitation and temperature with forest fires. MODIS and Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) sensor datasets were used to see the changes in AOD and CO in the region. MODIS sensor detected more than 30,462 active fires incidents in March and April 2021 in the study areas. Shan State of Myanmar recorded the maximum number of active fire incidents which is due to the practice of shifting cultivation and minimum in Bhutan due to the awareness campaigns and technology improvement. The temperature recorded in the study sites shows an increasing trend as compared to the reference period (2010-2020). Apart from Shan and Bago of Myanmar, precipitation in the study sites is also less during the study period. AOD and CO values show prominent peaks in a fire season which coincide with days of the maximum number of fire counts inferring the influence of forest fire on air quality. Developing countries like Nepal, India, Myanmar, and Bhutan are willing to take part in climate finance and are bound to accept expensive insurance premium due to forest fire incidents. Unless forest fires are effectively managed and mitigated, achieving Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and global agendas, including United Nations Decade of Ecosystem Restoration is onerous.
Forest Fire Risk Assessment and Proposal for Fire Stations in different Geographical Regions of Central Nepal

Published: July 2023

Forest fire is considered as the most persistent terrestrial disturbance affecting ecosystems, natural resources and threats to human life. Nepal predominantly faces forest fires during dry seasons (November-June) with increasing trend in the recent years that need proper management interventions. In line to this, our paper aims at assessing fire risk zones in four districts of central Nepal representing different geographical characteristics, through hotspot analysis and further proposing potential fire stations. Data acquired from Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) was projected through the Projected Coordinate System and integrated into ICOUNT for hotspot analysis using Neighbor Count Tool and Getis-Ord Gi* tool, Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) technique and neighborhood function for proposing fire stations from ArcGIS. It was observed that hotspots and cold spots are demonstrated by points with the values 6.969622 > z > 0.926061 (red) and -1.705619 < z < -0.926060 (blue). Likewise, in terms of physiography, Chure zone has the highest concentration of hotspots followed by Terai whereas cold spots are mostly concentrated in the Hilly region. In order to mitigate the problem of forest fire, establishment of fire stations for the areas with road access is pertinent, while in areas with poor, or without road access, formation of Forest Fire Management Committee (FFMC) is recommended. These management interventions can serve as a milestone for prevention and control of forest fire in the days to come, for Nepal.
Immobilized Osmium Catalyst for Asymmetric Dihydroxylation of Olefins
Authors: Roy Moumita
Published: July 2023

Chiral vicinal diol units are important intermediates in different natural products and drugs. Among various synthetic routes available in the literature, osmium-catalyzed Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of alkenes is the most popular method among organic synthetic communities to afford diversified enantiomerically enriched 1, 2-diols. However, the high cost of osmium and chiral ligands, as well as the high toxicity of osmium, can contaminate target products, limiting the application of AD reactions in large-scale processes. Heterogeneous catalysts have an added advantage over homogeneous catalysts due to easy recovery and recyclability, which are beneficial in terms of economic, and environmental concerns. In this direction, various research groups from different parts of the world have worked to overcome the demerits of the homogeneous osmium catalysts by immobilizing the active catalytic center onto heterogeneous support, and have achieved very good success. This review discusses recent work on supported osmium catalysts for AD reactions, highlighting their benefits and drawbacks. It serves as a useful guide for the continued development of improved catalytic systems.
History of acoustics in engineering and industry
Authors: Zhukov Aleksandr
Published: July 2023

The article reviews the history of acoustics and the history of the use of its methods and achievements in mechanical engineering. Acoustic monitoring methods justly hold a significant place among the methods for studying physical objects and industrial processes. These methods are mainly intended for detecting various defects (ultrasound control), monitoring parameters of industrial processes, and determining physical and mechanical properties of products as well as their geometric characteristics. The distinctive feature of the acoustic methods, which helped their spread, is the possibility for non-destructive testing, i. e. causing no damage to the object under study. Another, no less important merit of these methods is a possibility for testing without disrupting industrial processes.
Records Concerned with the Russian Geographical Society in the Archive of the Third Section of His Imperial Majesty’s Own Chancellery
Authors: Pivovarov Evgeny
Published: July 2023

The making of the Russian Geographical Society (RGO) occurred during the “grim seven years” of Nicholas I’s reign. The reaction to the “Springtime of the Peoples” affected all spheres of public life in the empire. Censorship was tightened and administrative and police oversight of education and science strengthened. This is the first publication of the complete texts of 9 previously unknown records (1848– 1851) from the file “On the Russian Geographical Society”, stored in the holding (“fond”) No. 109 of the Third Section of His Imperial Majesty’s own Chancellery in the State Archive of the Russian Federation. The correspondence between the Head of the Section, A. F. Orlov, and his deputy, L. V. Dubelt, bespeaks their close attention to the RGO’s life: struggle between the factions in the RGO, elections of its governing bodies, and political sentiments among the RGO membership. These documents enable tracing the history of interaction between the RGO, state authorities, and other scientific organizations. Record 1 is Dubelt’s note “On the Geographical Society” of May 1, 1848, addressed to Orlov; record 2 is a memorandum “On the election of vice president of the Russian Geographical Society” of March 15, 1850, by an unknown author; and record 3 is a copy of a perlustrated letter from Count S. G. Stroganov to his brother, A. G. Stroganov, in which he discussed the results of the RGO vicechairman election. Records 4 and 5 comprise the correspondence between Dubelt and Orlov that indicates that Stroganov’s letter became known to the Emperor. Outraged by Stroganov’s accusations, Dubelt prepared an explanatory note (record 6) for the Emperor. Dubelt’s harsher report to Nicholas I (records 7 and 9: draft report and its final version, respectively) was dated March of 1851. A short draft note with a list of persons involved in medal minting in St. Petersburg (record 8) was attached to the case. The publication is supplemented with an annotated list of names mentioned in these records.
Erfolgreiche Modelle zur Finanzierung von Freizeit- und Erholungsleistungen in Schweizer Wäldern

Published: July 2023

Seit den 1990er-Jahren versuchen Forstleute sowie Waldeigentümerinnen und -eigentümer, die Freizeit- und Erholungsleistung des Schweizer Waldes in Wert zu setzen. Verschiedene Modelle wie Gebühren, Sponsoring oder auch obligatorische oder freiwillige Abgaben haben sich in der Schweiz seither erfolgreich etabliert. Dennoch werden heute nach wie vor nur wenige Freizeit- und Erholungsleistungen in Wert gesetzt. Es stellt sich darum die Frage, welche Rahmenbedingungen eine vermehrte Inwertsetzung dieser Waldleistungen ermöglichen könnten. Eine Inspiration bieten Erfahrungen mit den verschiedenen Finanzierungsmodellen.
Détente et loisirs en forêt – responsabilités et risques croissants
Authors: Pfund Jean-Laurent , Dirac Clémence , Schneider Olivier , Reinhard Michael
Published: July 2023

Les effets des changements climatiques sur les forêts inquiètent du point de vue sécuritaire, tant les propriétaires forestiers que les adeptes de détente et loisirs. Aujourd’hui réglées par des normes générales inscrites en particulier dans le Code des obligations, les responsabilités en cas d’accident liés à de tels effets se heurtent, dans le fond, à la question de la causalité et de la responsabilité du propriétaire. En fonction des évolutions politiques et réglementaires, certaines pistes de sécurisation juridique pourraient être intégrées dans des modifications du droit, telles que par exemple compléter l’art. 699 du Code civil. De plus, une clarification des devoirs d’entretien serait bienvenue, voire, en tant que piste théorique, la définition d’une responsabilité subsidiaire des autorités par rapport à des risques indépendants de l’entretien assuré par les propriétaires forestiers.

Dans l’intervalle, propriétaires forestiers, usagers et autorités peuvent formaliser des contrats ou conventions permettant de clarifier les responsabilités et limiter les risques pour chacun. Au-delà de tels arrangements volontaires, la prise en compte de la fonction d’accueil du public dans des zones prioritaires pourrait idéalement bénéficier d’un soutien et d’incitations semblables, par exemple, aux forêts jouant un rôle reconnu pour le maintien de la biodiversité. Il serait en effet imaginable de délimiter certaines zones et de soutenir de manière financière et technique des entretiens adaptés au maintien à long terme de cette fonction sociale, du point de vue sécuritaire comme du point de vue de l’attractivité du peuplement et des infrastructures pour les visiteurs.

Grünräume erbringen diverse Ökosystemleistungen wie die Verbesserung der Luftqualität oder die Kühlung von Städten. Diese Leistungen sind schwer zu monetarisieren und werden deshalb in der Privatwirtschaft häufig nicht mitgedacht. Mit einer übergeordneten, nachhaltigen und langfristigen Planung soll das Optimum herausgeholt werden. Dabei muss die Bevölkerung miteinbezogen werden.

Investing in California’s Transportation Future: 2022 Public Opinion on Critical Needs
Authors:   San Jose State University, Agrawal Asha Weinstein , Nixon Hilary ,   San Jose State University

This study surveyed 3,821 adults living in California about their general travel behaviors and resources, use of ride-hailing, performance ratings for the transportation system and agencies responsible for transportation, transportation system improvement priorities, and preference for how transportation funds are allocated. Key findings include the following: • Californians are multi-modal: Although driving was the most common mode, respondents reported that in the previous 30 days 66% had made a walk trip, 28% had used ridehailing, 25% had used public transit, and 22% had bicycled. • Although many respondents had at least once substituted ride-hailing for transit, walking, or bicycling and micromobility, the impact on those modes was nuanced. For example, although 64% of respondents who used ride-hailing had done so at least once when transit was available, only about a quarter of ride-hailers (27%) felt that they used transit less once they started ride-hailing. Another 16% of ride-hailers said they rode transit more after they started ride-hailing. • Virtually all respondents—over 90%—wanted the state to work towards better safety and maintenance; reduced congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, and air pollution; and convenient multimodal travel options. • Large majorities of respondents placed a medium or high priority on transportation spending options to support all modes.

Bridges are critical components of transportation infrastructure. This research addresses the need to extend the service life of bridges by improving the safety and reliability of bridge abutments and reducing their life-cycle cost and footprints. Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) is a known strategy to enhance the economy and performance of bridge abutments. In addition, the application of rotary-kiln-manufactured lightweight aggregate backfills improves the performance of MSE bridge abutments with a leaner structural system. Such improvements include a reduction of structural demands due to a lower density, free drainage of granular materials, a high internal friction angle, less settlement with no consolidation, and accelerated construction requiring less compaction effort. This project aims to assess the electrochemical properties of expanded shale, clay, and slate (ESCS) aggregates and their influence on the corrosion of embedded steel strips. The experimental methodology involves evaluating current testing methods to measure electrical resistivity, pH, sulfate, chloride, and corrosion considering various gradation, moisture, dilution, and curing conditions. Samples represent available sources of ESCS with one source of normal weight aggregates for comparison. Results indicate the appropriateness of ESCS for addressing corrosion in MSE backfills. Further, outcomes provide guidelines to categorically predict the corrosivity of steel reinforcement when ESCS is employed as fill within MSE systems. These guidelines can help optimize the design and reduce the need to maintain and rehabilitate bridges, abutments, and approach and departure slabs on roadways to keep transportation systems safe and cost-efficient for sustainable infrastructure.

Kepulauan Indonesia dilalui oleh jalur gempa bumi, dan seringkali peristiwa gempa bumi yang biasanya memakan korban baik manusia maupun rumah-rumah penduduk. Pada umumnya jatuhnya korba dikarenakan gempa itu sendiri melainkan terkena runtuhan atap. Oleh karenananya tujuan tulisan ini adalah mencari tahu sebab terjadinya keruntuhan atap yang cenderung lepas dari tumpuannya, padahal model tumpuan atap sudah digunakan sejak lama, dan selalu berulang digunakan juga terjadi bentuk keruntuhan yang hampir mirip. Data diambil dari beberapa peristiwa gempa bumi yang korbannya adalah masyarakat pengguna bangunan berangka atap. Dari pengamatan empiris kemudian dilakukan analisis secara kualitatif guna melihat tingkat kerusakan bangunan. Hasil menunjukan kerusakan berupa kuda-kuda yang terlepas dari tumpuan dan roboh kebawah atau roboh akibat secara struktur berbentuk empat titik sehingga tiang penyangga dari pondasi ke kuda-kuda roboh kesamping karena tiang tidak berfungsi sebagai pengaku. Penyebab keruntuhan adalah momen horizontal yang berada di tengah atap sehingga ayunan horizontal menjadi besar dan mengalahkan tumpuan.
THE ROLE OF RELIGIOUS STUDY GROUPS IN FOSTERING ANTI-CORRUPTION BEHAVIOR AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR LOCAL DEMOCRATIC PRACTICES IN METRO CITY
Authors: Hawari Nadirsah , Agustam Agustam , Artalim Muntaha
Published: July 2023

This study discusses the efforts of majlis taklim management to instill a clean-living attitude and behavior in combating corrupt practices during political years, including local contests such as regional elections. Furthermore, it is considered important because the majlis taklim congregation consists of individuals constantly nurtured mentally and spiritually through long and regular periods of guidance. In the context of Metro City, there are suspicions of a high prevalence of pragmatic political behavior during campaigns. Therefore, the central concern revolves around the clarity of the role and roadmap of a majlis taklim managed by the DKM (mosque management board) in promoting sound political morality and its potential to diminish the prevalence of money politics during regional elections. This study takes the form of a qualitative and descriptive analysis approach, using interviews and questionnaires as the main data sources distributed to the managers and congregation members. The findings indicate that the majlis taklim in Metro City has regular studies cultivating social morality during elections. However, these initiatives are not yet integrated into a standardized printed curriculum that can serve as a comprehensive reference. A majlis taklim congregation is a group of people who are not easily swayed by money politics during regional elections but some members are still inclined towards such practices.
