ECOTOURISM SIGNIFICANCE OF THE THERMAL AND MINERAL WATERS OF THE SOUTHERN SLOPE (BETWEEN MAZYMCHAY AND SHINCHAI) OF THE GREATER CAUCASUS
Authors: Gulu kyzy Mamedova Gunay
Published: August 2021

In the article, in the socio-geographical direction, issues are discussed about the territory of mineral and thermal waters on the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus, the chemical composition of waters, temperature, the possibility of using it in the treatment of some diseases, ecotourism value and rational use of thermal waters.
Ecotourism can provide real financial support for nature conservation and increase the importance of natural sites that should be preserved in their original form.
For the rational use of thermal waters in the research area, targeted measures should be taken at the state level, in order to eliminate the shortages in this area and to ensure its further development, entrepreneurs should be provided with very low interest rates, long-term loans.
In the study of thermal and mineral waters, the merit of geologists, hydrogeologists and balneologists was great; in the modern period, scientists and specialists mainly refer to information obtained 50-100 years ago. There are very few innovations in this area.
Favorable climatic conditions of the region, ecotourism conditions, large forests, natural and historical monuments, high seismicity of the territory, deforestation processes, and so on. according to specifications differ. The study area (especially the Gakh region) is the region with the richest thermal and mineral water resources in Azerbaijan, as well as ecotourism and balneological tourism.
The Gakh region in the northwestern part of Azerbaijan, along with other natural benefits, is distinguished by its thermal and mineral springs and balneological value. The well-known hydrogen sulfide, hydrocarbonate groups of the Ilisu thermal waters, as well as the resort-tourist and balneological significance of the mineral springs on the left and right banks of the Kurmukh River near the village of Alibeyli and in the so-called boiling zone have not yet been fully utilized.
Thermal and mineral waters, with the exception of a few, were used in a very primitive form mainly by the local population. The use of such waters should be carried out under the supervision of a physician for his purpose, and the taking or not taking medicinal baths should be especially controlled. Therefore, the chemical composition of thermal waters must be periodically checked by professional specialists.

It is noted that the largest changes in both exports and imports, of course, was the Russian Federation, whose economic ties, in terms of foreign economic security, were dangerous or critical, especially for imports, and only in 2020 the figure approached satisfactory values. These positive changes are accompanied by a deterioration in the level of security with another country, namely China, because the share of imports has crossed a satisfactory value and since 2019 has reached unsatisfactory. As a result, Ukraine is changing its excessive dependence on foreign economic relations from one country to another. All this indicates the absence or unsatisfactory state of control over these processes by the state. This is also confirmed by the unsatisfactory state of implementation of measures to implement the Export Strategy of Ukraine. The directions of the decision of the specified problems which demand creation of system of management of foreign economic security of the country and formation of the grounded strategy of the international economic relations are offered. The country needs reforms not only in foreign economic activity, because to change the situation it is necessary to increase exports, which is impossible without the development of entrepreneurship, innovative economic transformations, investment and proper state support for all these processes.

Authors: Svavarsdóttir Ásta
Published: August 2021

Í greininni er fjallað um áhrif þjóðfélagsbreytinga og annarra ytri þátta á málnotkun og málþróun á síðari hluta 19. aldar og upphafi þeirrar tuttugustu í ljósi rannsóknar á úrvali fjölskyldubréfa frá tímabilinu 1878–1905. Einkum er litið til mögulegra áhrifa af auknum félagslegum og landfræðilegum hreyfanleika, m.a. þéttbýlismyndun, og vaxandi og útbreiddari máltengsla, sérstaklega við dönsku. Einnig er horft til viðleitni til aukinnar málstöðlunar, einkanlega í ritmáli, og áhrifa hennar á málnotkun almennings.

Í bréfaúrvalinu sem var kjarni rannsóknarinnar eru 69 bréf skrifuð af tveimur bræðrum og þremur systrum, þar af einni hálfsystur. Innan hópsins eru bæði líkindi og andstæður: Allir bréfritararnir eru á svipuðum aldri og alsystkinin fjögur ólust upp saman og höfðu sama félagslega bakgrunn. Andstæður innan hópsins felast einkum í kyni, menntun (og ekki síst mennturnarmöguleikum) bræðra og systra, búsetu í þéttbýli (alsystkinin) eða dreifbýli (hálfsystir) og í mismunandi landshlutum og mismiklum tengslum einstakra bréfritara við önnur tungumál vegna menntunar, búsetu og hreyfanleika. Rannsóknin beindist að tveimur máleinkennum, sem bæði voru umrædd og tengjast málstöðlunar­viðleitni á umræddu tímabili: Annars vegar tilbrigðum í nútíð eintölu af sögninni hafa, þar sem sumir vildu nota eldri myndirnar (ég) hefi og (þú/hann) hefir og mæltu með þeim frekar en myndunum hef og hefur sem samkvæmt samtímalýsingum voru orðnar ráðandi á þessum tíma, jafnvel þótt skiptar skoðanir hafi verið á vali afbrigða. Hins vegar notkun aðkomuorða – sérstaklega nýlegra og/eða framandlegra orða – bæði m.t.t. umfangs þeirra í bréfum einstakra bréfritara og þess hvers konar orð þeir notuðu. Í því tilviki voru tveir andstæðir áhrifaþættir virkir á þessum tíma. Í málumræðu var almennt amast við erlendum mál­áhrifum og ætla má að það hafi unnið gegn notkun aðkomuorða, sérstaklega í rituðu máli, en aukin erlend samskipti og ýmiss konar nýjungar sem bárust frá útlöndum hafa aftur á móti ýtt undir erlend áhrif í málinu, ekki síst í þéttbýli.

Í greininni eru birtar niðurstöður úr rannsókninni á þessum tveimur atriðum í bréfaúrvalinu. Þær eru í sumum tilvikum bornar saman við frekari gögn frá sama skeiði, bæði önnur skrif sömu bréfritara og skrif annarra, til þess að fá skýrari mynd af þeim vísbendingum sem niðurstöðurnar gefa um samband málnotkunar og ýmissa málfélagslegra þátta, t.d. búsetu, kyns og menntunar einstaklinga, og um áhrif samfélagsbreytinga eins og vaxandi þéttbýlismyndunar og aukinna erlendra samskipta á mál og málnotkun.

Published: August 2021

This study aims to ascertain primary school teachers’ views on learning and teaching in the context of the value-based approach and to explore the values teachers rely on in their daily work. The theoretical framework of the study draws on the principles of social constructivist approach to learning, which also constitutes the basis of the new National Curriculum for Basic Schools of the Republic of Estonia. The study is based on the survey of 359 primary school teachers. The analysis produced a five-factor model, showing satisfactory factor loadings for each. The study revealed that teachers’ beliefs about traditional and constructivist teaching styles are somewhat contradictory, expressing on the one hand support to the constructivist approach to learning, but admitting at the same time that for both themselves and their students the traditional teaching style is more convenient. However, the majority of teachers believe that adherence to social constructivist learning principles yields better knowledge and practical skills. In primary school teachers’ approach to learning and teaching the most important key point is the acquisition of knowledge and useful skills, implemented through cooperation and favourable learning environment.
Key words: social constructivist and traditional approach to learning, value-centeredness, views on learning and teaching.

Stocking hatchery-reared fish in natural shallow lakes is a common practice in Chinese fisheries. The success of these fisheries depends on the balance between the commercial value of the stock and the growth performance of stocked fish to rapidly reach commercial size. The mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi has become a commercially important fishery in China. However, the performance of hatchery-reared mandarin fish (HMF) after release into natural environments and their interactions with wild mandarin fish (WMF) have received little attention. In this study, we compared the growth, feeding and reproduction of HMF with WMF in a shallow Yangtze lake. We found that 11 mo after release, the growth of HMF was significantly slower than that of WMF but rapidly caught up after 16-19 mo. This suggests that HMF may experience compensatory growth after 11 mo, which may be a result of a low reproductive investment compared to WMF. In addition, the trophic niche of HMF differed significantly from that of WMF, with a lower diversity of prey and a single dominant prey species. Furthermore, there was no significant diet overlap between HMF and WMF. Our findings demonstrated that the growth performance of HMF can equal or exceeded that of wild conspecifics, and that there was limited diet overlap with WMF, suggesting that the current stock enhancement programmes of releasing HMF can result in fish similar to that of WMF, with limited foraging competition.
Causal links between North Sea fish biomass trends and seabed structure

Published: August 2021

Distinct areas of seabed, called seascapes, are known to shape benthic habitats and communities, yet little is known about the extent to which they affect the dynamics of marine fish populations. We explored the relationship between seascapes and trends in the biomass density of several North Sea fish species. We divided the North Sea into 10 seascapes using standardized methods. Time series of fish biomass density were derived from the North Sea International Bottom-Trawl Survey (NS-IBTS) and aggregated to the seascape level. We analysed the interdependencies between these time series using a causal association network and found independent biomass density trends between adjacent seascapes at a time interval of 0 yr in all species assessed. Long-term causal dependencies in biomass density occurred at time lags of 1-2 yr across different gradients of exchange: (1) both directions from North to South; (2) unidirectional, North-South; (3) unidirectional, South-North; (4) unidirectional, East-West; and (5) no clear direction. Our findings indicate that the separation in (a)biotic conditions between North Sea seascapes can represent relevant barriers to the processes determining the observed fish biomass density. We found that non-fusiform morphology and demersal habitat preferences best explained short-term causal dependencies. This combination is particular to the flatfish and ray species included in the present study. Contrarily, the movement of large, long-lived, benthopelagic species best explained long-term causal dependencies. Our work highlights how causal association networks can be used to study the temporal dependencies between spatial time series in ecology.

Interannual and regime (decadal) scale changes in climate affect the spatial distribution and productivity of marine fish species in numerous ecosystems. We analyzed a historical simulation (1965-2000) from an end-to-end ecosystem model of anchovy population dynamics for the California Current System to untangle the effects of warm versus cool conditions on recruitment. A�3-dimensional coupled hydrodynamic-NPZD (nitrogen-phytoplankton-zooplankton-detritus) model (ROMS-NEMURO) provided the physical conditions (circulation, temperature) and 3 zooplankton concentrations as inputs to an anchovy full life cycle individual-based model (IBM). Our analysis was focused on isolating the effects of the well-documented El Niño Southern Oscillation signal and 3 climate regimes on spawning habitat, development, and survival of eggs and yolk-sac larvae, growth and survival of larvae and juveniles, and ultimately recruitment of anchovy. The major drivers of lowered recruitment success in warm years and in warmer regimes were reduced survival and growth rates of eggs and larvae that resulted from the poleward shift of adults in response to warmer temperatures prior to spawning. Three model-data comparisons showed the model deviated from empirically derived values of annual recruitment success but agreed with data for annual mean latitude of egg distributions and predicted larval consumption rates versus measured zooplankton concentrations. More effort is needed to improve certain biological aspects of the IBM so that it can replicate empirically estimated recruitment fluctuations. Overall, the altered responses of anchovy to changing climate in the California Current domain illustrate the benefit of the present mechanistic approach to infer how anchovy may respond under future ecosystem conditions.
The Cause of Intergranular (IG) Fracture by Thermal Embrittlement in SA508 of Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Steel
Authors: Kim Sung Soo , Yeob Jung Jong , Kim Young Suk
Published: August 2021

Intergranular(IG) fracture due to thermal treatment has been reported in a reactor pressure vessel(RPV) steel of Russian light water reactor in last decade. This is attributed to grain boundary segregation of phosphorus (P) or precipitation of carbide, etc.. This is a finding a difference in microstructure before and after IG cracking; this cannot explain the cause of the IG embrittlement. This old paradigm follows only correlation. Recently, a mechanism in which IG embrittlement occurs due to a decrease in entropy of a material has been reported at a temperature where atomic diffusion is possible. It is anticipated that new paradigm can explain the IG embrittlement of RPV based on a causal relationship. Thus, the thermal treatment at 350-420 oC was applied to RPV steel of SA508 and IG cracking was confirmed. DSC analysis was applied to confirm whether a decrease in entropy due to a short range ordering reaction occurs in SA508. It was possible to quantify the entropy change(⊿S= Q/T) through DSC measurement. A lattice changes due to thermal treatment were confirmed using XRD analysis in aged specimens. The results showed that lattice contraction by aging causes a reduction of fracture toughness. The internal stress formed inside the material due to entropy reduction can be calculated by multiplying the exothermic energy per unit mass by the density. This relationship is expressed by a equation of stress(σ) = exothermic heat(⊿Q) x density(ρ).
