The implementation of the sustainable development concept determines economic growth while reducing the negative impact on the environment. To achieve this, investments in environmental protection are required, which, first of all, should be stimulated by the national environmental policy. The purpose of the article is to assess the impact of environmental policy instruments (charges for emission limits, charges for exceeding emission limits, fines, costs for eco-control, interbudgetary transfers, mandatory environmental insurance, regional tax incentives) on the development of regional investments in environmental protection in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation based on Federal State Statistics Service data. The research methods are panel regressions with fixed and random effects, the typology of regions by industry specialization based on the values of the localization coefficients, various types of analysis (structural, groupings). Our findings demonstrate that the Russian environmental policy pursued in Russia contributed to a slight increase in current environmental expenditures in the regions, primarily in the regions of agricultural specialization, but did not stimulate an increase in environmental investments in fixed assets. As a result, environmental quality indicators did not improve in the majority of Russian regions. Eco-control costs (in industrial regions), and charges for emission limits (in industrial and agro-industrial regions) have the greatest incentive to increase environmental costs. Fines, interbudgetary transfers, mandatory environmental insurance, regional tax incentives do not have a significant impact on environmental investment in fixed assets in Russian regions. To improve the efficiency of the state environmental policy the authors propose to increase the charge for exceeding emission limits and fines for environmental law violation, to revise the target nature of interbudgetary transfers in terms of stimulating environmental investments in fixed assets, and to implement pilot projects to introduce environmental policy instruments that comply with best international practices.

In the context of budget insufficiency and the current economic crisis, it is necessary to determine alternative sources for the development of Russian regions. Domestic tourism can be considered as such, since it has a multiplier effect of the complex modernisation of territories. The study aims to assess the tourist attractiveness of Russian regions and analyse limitations and development prospects of domestic tourism in modern conditions. The methods of questionnaire survey of the heads of Russian municipalities, expert interviews, economic and statistical analysis of regional development indicators were applied. The study used a multistage stratified area random sample. The sampling units were Russian regions at the first stage and municipalities at the second stage (N=306). The analysis of statistical data revealed an increase in the number of accommodated persons, indirectly indicating the growing attractiveness of domestic tourism. However, more than half (50.7 %) of the accommodated persons visited Krasnodar Krai, the Republic of Crimea, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Moscow oblast and Leningrad oblast. Experts noted the following limitations to the development of domestic tourism: insufficient accommodation facilities, poor quality of rooms, unsatisfactory condition of heritage sites, insufficient financial resources, including private investment. They also stated that in the shortage of financial and infrastructural resources, regional social resources should be utilised to develop domestic tourism, namely: commercialised hospitality; promotion of tourism products by the local population through social media; micro-entrepreneurship in the private rental market. Regional and local authorities can use the obtained findings to increase the competitiveness of tourism products and services. Further research may focus on examining the effectiveness of regional programmes for the development of domestic tourism and expanding the range of tourist offers involving local initiatives.

Published: April 2023

There are many studies on age- and gender-dependent analyses in multiple languages. Still, the fundamental frequency (F0) and speech rate in different age and gender groups with Khalkha Mongolian have not yet been studied. In this investigation, we analyzed the speaker’s age and gender effects on F0 and speech rate based on a spontaneous speech corpus of the Khalkha dialect of the Mongolian language. We have discovered some universal aspects of these phonological phenomena and specific relevant characteristics of speech rate change depending on gender. The average speech rate of Khalkha Mongolian is 5.3 syllables per second. The male speakers spoke much quicker than the female speakers. Age and gender affect the F0 and speech rate in particular systematic ways. The F0 of the female and male speakers tended to decrease with age. Also, that elderly male speakers talk slower than elderly female speakers, while young and middle-aged male speakers tend to talk faster than female speakers of the same age.

Published: April 2023

As one of the most used social media platforms, twitter has become a powerful tool for a number of purposes, including personal and business promotions as well as social communication. As for the political celebrities, it is considered to be the fastest way to communicate with their fans, friends or even their haters. Donald Trump is the former of 45th President of the United States and also a frequent user of twitter who often posts controversial or false statements. On July 16, 2019, the House of Representatives voted to censure him for “racist comments”. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the utterances of insults on Donald Trump’s Twitter account using descriptive qualitative research method, before and after Trump became the president of the United States and will look at the utterances, forms and references. The insult utterances of Trump’s illocutionary speech acts that were found and then to be classified into (1) abusive swearing, (2) swearing, (3) obscenity, focusing on Searle’s five classification of speech acts which consist of (1) representatives, (2) directives, (3) commissives, (4) expressives, and (5) declarations.
An OT Account of Negation in Jordanian Arabic
Authors: Yasin Ayman , Aljarrah Rasheed , Obeidat Hussien , Al-Shawashreh Ekab
Published: April 2023

Jordanian Arabic exhibits three forms of negation: preverbal, discontinuous and post-verbal.  In this paper, we show how these three forms of negation could be accounted for from an OT perspective. Concisely, our main goal is to find out form-specific ranking(s) of the set of universal constraints that condition negation in this dialect. We argue that negation is tense-dependent in this dialect (viz. different tense forms opt for different constraint rankings). We propose a set of universal constraints that constrain the native speaker’s choice of the negation pattern(s) with the verb form. Additionally, we demonstrate how these constraints militate against each other to let only the optimal forms surface with each tense. The paper found that one major difference between negated present and past tense is that NegFirst is ranked very low in present verbs but very high in past verbs. Second, *Neg2 and max 3μ interact to block future circumflex negation forms in future verbs.  Third, the morph-syntactic expression of negation was found to be subject to weight in that the negators are maximally tri-moraic, a condition which explains why long ma: cannot be a viable alternative when circumflexing negation either with present or past verbs.

Lexicon Distinctiveness Used in ‘Awig-Awig’ Text in Tenganan Village Bali: An Ecolinguistics Study
Authors: Umiyati Mirsa
Published: April 2023

This article aims to describe the function of the Awig-awig (AA) of Tenganan Village as the primary basis for regulating the activities of the people of Tenganan Village, especially in nature conservation. Several research questions are the main focus of this research, namely 1) what are the unique lexicons contained in AA, especially the rules regarding nature conservation? 2) are these regulations still applicable in Tenganan Village? 3) How high does the younger generation master those lexicons? 4) What efforts have been made by Tengan residents to preserve the lexicon so the younger generation can still understand it? The methodological approach taken is field research using the deep interview method to collect data. The eesearcher also distributed questionnaires to measure the level of understanding of the younger generation. There are 100 respondents involved in this process. Then, the data was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Based on the research results, there are two significant results. First, it was found 17 unique lexicons regulate nature conservation that residents of Tenganan Village must understand. Second, mastery of the lexicon varies based on age, gender, education level, and region of origin. In addition, these rules are still applicable until now. It is evidenced by the natural state, which is still well preserved. Unfortunately, the residents’ efforts to encourage the younger generation to understand this lexicon are still lacking. If this condition is not resolved immediately, the AA of Tenganan Village will only be sustainable among the elders and will become extinct when the elders are gone.

The role of the school in shaping the health of adolescents: Socio-cultural and regulatory aspects
Authors: Zhuravleva Irina V. , Lakomova Nina V.
Published: April 2023

Adolescent health is important because it determines the future health of adults, and because trends in this category are characterized by the most negative indicators compared to other age groups of the population.
Actualization of the importance of the problem of adolescent health in the structure of school innovations.
The study was carried out in 2022 by the staff of the Institute of Sociology of the Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the form of a review based on the analysis of 92 relevant sources (scientific research and regulatory documents).
Although an intention to address the health of children and adolescents is recognized in Russia as a national task that requires an interdepartmental approach and actions from almost all ministries and departments, the reality is different. In schools, where children spend 70% of the day, the necessary conditions for their health have not been created. Two aspects of these conditions are considered medical and educational in the field of health. The medical aspect is associated with an insufficient number of medical rooms in educational institutions, the quality of their equipment, a lack of medical personnel, and the presence of contradictions in the regulatory framework on this issue. As a result, the actions of health workers in schools are limited mainly to medical examinations and vaccinations, instead of the nine main functions stated in the regulations. The educational aspect, on which the formation of a culture of students health depends also remains unrealized. Three reasons for the absence of the subject Health in the school curriculum and the peculiarities of the formation of the need for healthcare among schoolchildren, including with the help of the media, are considered.
A change in the state of two important aspects of the health of children and adolescents in the structure of school education medical and educational seems to be real in the case of solving regulatory and legal issues related to the elimination of existing contradictions in the information based on the issues of medical provision in educational institutions. Equally important is the introduction of indicators on the formation of a healthy lifestyle for various categories of the population, primarily children and adolescents, into the reporting forms of educational and medical organizations. Raising the level of public health culture and the formation of a unified preventive environment that ensures a healthy lifestyle should become a practical state task.

Através do relato de enfermeiras, buscou-se conhecer os impactos causados pela pandemia de Covid-19 nas unidades de Atenção Primária à Saúde, bem como nas práticas que caracterizam o trabalho. Os dados integram uma pesquisa nacional multicêntrica, que investigou diversas características das práticas de enfermeiros em todo Brasil. De natureza qualitativa, este estudo analisou 11 entrevistas realizadas com enfermeiras que atuavam em uma região do município do Rio de Janeiro. Obtidos com base em um roteiro semiestruturado, os dados foram transcritos e interpretados segundo Análise de Conteúdo. O maior desafio durante a pandemia foi a perda do contato com o paciente, fragmentando o vínculo. Acresça-se a este fator a redução dos grupos, reorganização do serviço na atenção primária, esgotamento psíquico e aumento das demandas de saúde mental entre os usuários. Com o período pós-pandêmico os entrevistados apontam a valorização do contato com o usuário, fundamentado pela longitudinalidade do cuidado. É evidente o impacto das ações dos enfermeiros para os bons resultados da atenção básica, principalmente no que tange à pandemia de Covid-19. Para melhor desempenho deste profissional é imperativo que a gestão municipal reconheça seu protagonismo nos resultados de cobertura à população nos serviços primários no Sistema Único de Saúde.

Climate finance landscape in Nigeria
Authors: B. Edeminam Veronica , Akpasoh Anthony
Published: April 2023

The recently launched Nigeria’s energy transition bold and ambitious plan indicates that Nigeria needs a minimum investment of $10 billion annually until 2060 to achieve SDG7 goal by 2030 and achieve its net-zero target by 2060. With the multiplicity of other macroeconomic issues Nigeria is grappling with such as high debt burden, high borrowing costs from external sources, COVID-19 pandemic, and adverse effects of other external shocks, there is a need to understand the climate finance landscape in Nigeria. This paper provides an expository outlook into the climate finance options that Nigeria can take advantage of to mobilise resources domestically for climate action, without overbearing dependence on international loans and grants. Some of the options for domestic climate finance mobilization are green bonds such as sukuk green bonds and diaspora green bonds, emission trading, carbon taxes, budgetary allocations, tax exemptions and import waivers, among others. Reviewing the successes of other countries in sourcing climate finance through these instruments, Nigeria can leverage on the learnings from these countries to set up a more resilient framework for domestic climate finance mobilization to meet the climate change goals.
Routing and Navigation Solutions for Emergency Vehicles in Urban Emergency Management
Authors: Ozcan-tatar Ceren , Tukel Ezgi , Yilmaz Emrah , Cabuk Saye , Ozturk Gurkan
Published: April 2023

Urban population and expansion continue to rise, as have emergencies, and emergency response times are becoming longer in the city. Response times are critical in urban emergency management. Traditional navigation systems do not consider the preferential road usage rights and requirements crucial for emergency teams such as ambulances, fire departments, and police. In traditional navigation systems, features such as safety lanes and road width are not incorporated as routing criteria. Past emergency navigation studies do not contain many variables and this causes delays in emergency response processes. As a result, applications that process real-time traffic information and provide guidance according to different vehicle types are needed for emergency management.. This study aims to develop an application capable of routing for different vehicles according to criteria such as working hours, holidays, weather conditions, and seasonal effects. The application is developed with a novel approach in this context using machine learning methods and produces alternate routes with GPS navigation based on the real-time traffic situation. Moreover, the software also provides routing solutions for trucks, freight distribution, and automobiles and recommends unique routes for emergency vehicles based on factors including safety lanes, road width, corner turning angles, and right of way. The expected outcomes upon implementing this application include easy and fast access to the emergency locations, reduced response times, and improvement in urban emergency management services.

Published: April 2023

This paper examines how to outline and adopt innovative business models for the Smart Cities of the future. Smart Cities are intelligent and efficient communities and ecosystems employing digital technologies to respond a growing waste of resources, unsustainable environmental impact, and inefficiency in traditional processes. Considering the greatest benefits of Smart Cities on economies, societies, and environment, many countries have now introduced national Smart City projects in order to transform life, improve business operations and market competitiveness. However, despite growing interests towards Smart Cities, it remains still difficult to adopt this paradigm due to digital transformation, interaction strategies, social and cultural problems. Therefore, this paper aims to break down the barriers to these problems and support the literature and management to understand how to implement profitable business models for Smart Cities of the future. Specifically, we identify four main areas characterizing Smart Cities (i.e., Smart Mobility, Smart Living, Smart Energy, and Smart Public Ecosystems) where digital technologies have shown greater progress with large savings. For each area, multiple case studies have been discussed and Business Model Canvases have  been  developed  for  generalizing  effective  methodological  approaches toward  efficient implementation of Smart City paradigm. Results are threefold. As for digital transformation problems, we show how digital technologies (e.g., Cloud, IoT, Big Data and AI) are applied profitably through innovative business models; as for interaction strategies problems we indicate how to organize innovative ecosystems involving public and private actors to  promote  Smart  Cities;  as  for  social  and  cultural  problems  we  delineate  change  management  and communication practices useful to instill in all stakeholders a culture towards the Smart City. With these findings the paper aims at enriching scientific knowledge about the Smart City Paradigm by means of a business model perspective and to offer public administrations insightful guidelines for the transition toward Smart Cities.

Authors: ÇİĞDEM KARAÇAY Başak , KONAR Naime Meric
Published: April 2023

Aim: In medical faculty students’ investigation of risk factors for physical inactivity and fatigue and basic resilience is important to identify individuals at risk. The primary aim of this study was to determine the factors affecting core endurance, fatigue, and physical inactivity in medical faculty students. The secondary aim is to evaluate the relationship between core endurance and fatigue, physical activity, and low back pain. Additionally, to investigate the relationship between fatigue and physical activity level.

Methods: This quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted with 201 healthy volunteer medical faculty students. Demographic data and the history of low back pain were recorded. The trunk flexors endurance test (FLET), Modified Biering-Sorensen test (MBST), and lateral bridge test (LBT) were used to measure trunk muscle core endurance. The physical activity levels of the participants were measured using the “International Physical Activity Scale” (IPAQ). The fatigue Severity Scale was used for the evaluation of fatigue.

Results: FLET (p=0.021), MBST (p=0.004), LBT-Right (<0.001), LBT-Left (<0.001) tests were significantly higher in the group with FSS <2.3. A significant correlation was found between female gender and FLET (p<0.001), MBST (p<0.001), LBT-Right (p<0.001), LBT-Left (p<0.001). Gender (p=0.049), MBST (p=0.003) and MET 3 (p=0.025) were determined as factors affecting fatigue in the regression model. Female gender (OR= 0.376; p= 0.049) and MBST (OR= 0.986; p= 0.003) was determined as a risk factor for fatigue.

Conclusion: Female gender, decreased core endurance, and physical inactivity are protective factors affecting fatigue in medical school students. Age, gender, body mass index, smoking, alcohol, and low back pain history were not found to be risk factors for physical inactivity. Improving core endurance is protective for physical inactivity.

Published: April 2023

Aim: Students of all departments that serve patients during their education are in the risk group in terms of parenterally transmitted microorganisms. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge level and serologic status of healthcare students about viral hepatitis and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection.

Methods: A sociodemographic questionnaire consisting of 29 questions was applied to 262 students who presented to the medico-social outpatient clinic between January 2015 and December 2020. Additionally, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B surface antibody (Anti HBs), hepatitis B core antibody (Anti HBc total), hepatitis C virus antibody (Anti HCV), HIV antibody (Anti-HIV) serum levels were investigated. The obtained information was evaluated with descriptive statistics and chi-square test in statistical package for the social sciences package program version 20. Results were given as frequency and percentage.

Results: The mean age of the study group (230 female and 32 male) was 21.29 ± 2.2 years. According to the questionnaire, 43.9% of students stated that they had HBV vaccination, while 56.1% of the students stated that they were not vaccinated. The rate of the student who checked antibodies after vaccination was 14.1%. While 74% of students stated that they took lessons about hepatitis risk factors, 26% of students did not take any lessons. According to the laboratory results, Anti HBs positivity was found in 235 students (89.7%). Anti-HBc total positivity was found in 5 students (1.9%). HBsAg positivity was found in 2 students (0.8%). Anti-HCV and Anti-HIV were negative in all our students.

Conclusion: Our results indicate that high prevalence of Anti HBs seropositivity among healthcare students. This result can be explained by our successful vaccination program in Turkey. As a preventive medicine perspective, it should be ensured that students studying at these schools should be trained, screened, and guided to become immune.

Published: April 2023

Agricultural crops in which the DNA has been modified using genetic engineering techniques (addition, deletion, or manipulationof a single trait in an organism to create a desired change) are referred as Genetically modified (GMO) crops.Geneticallymodified crops possess one or more useful traits, that normally does not exist in the plant in nature. Transgenic technology has been used to increase crop yields and improve their nutrition, reduce the use of pesticide and herbicides by making them tolerant, insect resistant, reduce CO2 emissions, and decrease the cost of crop production. However, since the first GM crop produced, thedebate of using/not using GMO crops is ongoing. A number of concerns like toxicity and allergenicity to animals and humanbeings, potential environmental risks, such as chances of gene flow, adverse effects on non-target organisms, evolution of resistance in weeds and insects etc. have been the major roadblocks in its application. In this review, we present a comprehensiveupdate on the current status of the genetically modified (GMO) crops under cultivation. We also discuss the issues affectingwidespread adoption of transgenic GM crops and comment upon the recent tools and techniques developed to address some of these concerns. Keywords: Genetically modified crops (GMO), Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)

Published: April 2023

bstract: FANET has opened up a wide arena for the study and implementation of drone and UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) efficiency in a variety of military and rescue applications. In this paper, we propose a hybrid energy-aware routing protocol. The approaches are based on two swarm intelligence methods: ant colony optimization (ACO) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The performances of these approaches are compared with other bio-inspired feature selection methods based on ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, and grey wolf optimization. we propose a hybrid energy-aware clustering technique using a genetic algorithm for cluster formation and management. The proposed scheme shows better results as compared to other bioinspired clustering algorithms on the basis of evaluation benchmarks such as end-to-end latency, packet delivery ratio, energy consumption, time complexity, and throughput, and as a result, hybrid ACOPSO is used to enhance ACOPSO efficiency. The results indicate that the proposed scheme has improved throughput by 60% and 38% with respect to ant colony optimization and, grey wolf optimization, respectively. In terms of average cluster building time while average energy consumption has improved by 23% and 33% when compared to the ant colony optimization and grey wolf optimization, respectively. From the comparison graph, it is concluded that our proposed method has achievable throughput which is significantly increasing compared to other methods.

Abstract: Food is a necessity for human survival, as evidenced by several medical conferences. People today are more concerned with their diet and food choices to prevent developing or existing ailments. In order to prevent obesity and chronic diseases that are linked to dietary consumption, nutrition management is a crucial component of day-to-day life. Due to people's dependence on smart technologies, using nutrition analysis tools helps individuals understand their everyday eating habits, study nutrition trends, and maintain a balanced diet. In this case, we create a deep prototype food recognition system to examine and research food components from photos of regular meals This research aims to analyze the nutrient content of meals using picture classification. Unlike traditional artificial neural networks, convolutional neural networks can estimate the scoring function directly from image pixels. There are a number of these layers, and the outputs are concatenated at various points to get the final tensor of outputs. We used convolutional neural networks (CNN) to automatically determine the nutritional value of images.

Abstract: The valuation is the process of determining the current value of an asset such as residential, commercial, industrial, or agricultural land is known as appraisal. The value is determined by the Estimate price for as well as the potential rent or income. The main goal is to get people acquainted with the general field practice of real estate valuation. The purpose of the project is to determine the market value of properties for bank financing in Tamil Nadu. It determines the present value of properties and it is focused on the valuation of an industrial Building. The values obtained by three different methods of valuation and identifying the most appropriate one for the property under consideration. The methods of valuation that are used in the process are: Land and Building method, Rental method and Composite rate method. Depreciation is also given due importance in all the methods. In land and building method, the value of land and the value of the building are estimated independently to obtain the present value of the property. Rental method involved capitalizing the net annual rental income using a suitable rate of interest. Composite rate method is also employed to determine the present value based on the prevailing market rates. Breakup of composite rate for the building under valuation is calculated based on the breakup of composite rate of the building under comparison

The technology of flax harvesting  depends  on input impacts, including: flax harvester qualitative characteristics; working body parameters; indicators of working conditions; intervening variables reflecting the dynamic properties of the working bodies and the dynamics of the flax flow input. (Research purpose) To establish patterns and the degree of correlation between the qualitative operation indicators (pulling and deseeding quality, flax line stretching); design parameters; machine dynamic properties and harvesting conditions (height and density of flax stem, field surface, thickness and unevenness of flax straw, etc.). (Materials and methods) Based on system analysis, mathematical models of the technological process of flax harvesting were developed. Information models were introduced for examining the main flax harvesters. (Results and discussion) The paper shows that the most typical indicators of the flax harvester working conditions are the flax stem height l(t), centimeters; the seed pod area a(t), centimeters; and field surface roughness z(t), centimeters. It is found that the quality of operation is determined by the deseeding quality, percentages; the flax straw stretching, times; the location of its apical and root parts, centimeters. The estimated indicators are as follows: the pulling height h(t), centimeters, the vibrations of the combine in the longitudinal-vertical plane Q(t), degrees, the location of the apical part of the flax flaw in front of the stripper. (Conclusions) A hydraulic device was developed to adjust the pulling height from 10 to 40 centimeters, depending on the flax stem. An important reserve for increasing the deseeding quality is the change in the width of the deseeding zone of the Vk harvester, centimeters. For this purpose, a mechanism was created for moving the deseeder against the clamping conveyor, depending on the flax stem height l(t), centimeters.
