Authors: Levina Anastasia , Ilin Igor , Trifonova Nina , Tick Andrea
Published: November 2023

Vaccination is critical to preventing the spread of diseases. It stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies that fight specific diseases, eradicating and reducing their incidence. However, despite the proven benefits, there is hesitation and skepticism in some areas due to side effects and lack of knowledge. Developing a data collection and processing system to analyze vaccination is critical in today’s world. Vaccines are necessary to minimize morbidity and mortality, but success depends on analyzing data on vaccine use and efficacy. This system can identify potential side effects and adverse reactions, ensuring vaccine safety and building public confidence. This research focuses on IT support for analyzing vaccination side effects. The aim of this work is to develop an architecture model of the system to collect and process data on the health status of vaccinated patients. The research methodology consists of analyzing sources on the consequences and side effects of vaccination. On the basis of this knowledge, the key attributes (stakeholders, sources of information, input data, data analysis processes) of the data collection and analysis system were analyzed using an enterprise architecture approach. As a result, a general model of the architecture of the data collection and analysis system was proposed.

Published: November 2023

With the popularization and high-intensity utilization of greenhouse cultivation for crops growth, the pollution of greenhouse soils has been of concern. Therefore, a national-scale survey was conducted to investigate the contamination status, sources, influence factors and the risks of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD) in greenhouse and nearby open-field soils. Contents of PCBs ranged from <LOD to 673.78 ng/g (mean: 77.38 ng/g) in greenhouse soils, and <LOD to 552.53 ng/g (mean: 61.90 ng/g) in open-field soils. HCBD was detected in all greenhouse soils with content ranging from 0.85 to 24.18 ng/g (mean: 8.33 ng/g), and a range of <LOD-20.19 ng/g (mean: 6.39 ng/g) in open-field soils. The sources of PCBs were the disposal of electrical equipment, domestic coal, wood burning emissions, etc. Levels of PCBs and HCBD were not correlated with the soil properties but positively correlated with Pseudomonas as the PCBs-degrader in open-field soils. Although the higher values of mean contents were found in greenhouses, the health risks of ΣPCBs in open-field soils were higher than in greenhouse soils due to the higher percentages of high-toxicity PCBs, especially the carcinogenic risks to children (>10−6). This study provided a full insight on the contamination status and risks of PCBs and HCBD when guiding greenhouse agriculture activities.

Published: November 2023

At present, the pollution of arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) is becoming increasingly serious. The pollution caused by the release of As and Pb from lead–zinc mines has seriously affected the water and soil environment and threatened human health. It is necessary to reveal the release characteristics of As and Pb. The actual scene of mine drainage (MD) and rainwater (RW) leaching waste rocks is the one of the main reasons for the release of As and Pb. However, the leaching behavior of As and Pb in these waste rocks under MD and RW suffered from a lack of in-depth research. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of As and Pb in waste rocks (S1–S6) by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), and then, the changes in As and Pb concentration and the hydrochemical parameter in leaching solution were systematically studied. Furthermore, the correlation between the release of As and Pb and mineral composition was also evaluated. Results showed that these waste rocks were mainly composed of carbonate and sulfide minerals. As and Pb were mainly bounded or associated with sulfide minerals such as arsenopyrite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and galena in these waste rocks, and small parts of As and Pb were absorbed or encased by clay minerals such as kaolinite and chlorite. Under MD and RW leaching, the pH, redox potential (Eh), and electric conductivity (EC) of each waste rock tended to be consistent due to their buffering ability; the leachate pH of waste rocks with more carbonate minerals was higher than that of sulfide minerals. Both As and Pb were released most under MD leaching in comparison to RW, reaching 6.57 and 60.32 mg/kg, respectively, due to MD’s low pH and high Eh value. However, As in waste rock released more under alkaline conditions because part of the arsenic was in the form of arsenate. As and Pb release were mainly positively correlated with the proportions of sulfide minerals in these waste rocks. MD leaching significantly promoted the release of As and Pb from waste rocks, which would cause a great threat to the surrounding environment, and control measures were imperative. This paper not only reveals the As and Pb pollution mechanism around the lead–zinc mining area but also provides a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of As and Pb pollution in the future.
The Influence of Adiposity Levels on the Relation between Perfluoroalkyl Substances and High Depressive Symptom Scores in Czech Adults
Authors: Neto Geraldo , Bobak Martin , Gonzalez-Rivas Juan P. , Klanova Jana
Published: November 2023

The extensive use and bioaccumulation of Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) over time raise concerns about their impact on health, including mental issues such as depression. This study aims to evaluate the association between PFAS and depression. In addition, considering the importance of PFAS as an endocrine disruptor and in adipogenesis, the analyses will also be stratified by body fat status. A cross-sectional study with 479 subjects (56.4% women, 25–89 years) was conducted. Four PFAS were measured: perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). The Poisson regression model was applied using robust error variances. The fully adjusted model included age, sex, educational level, income, smoking, physical activity, body fat percentage, and the questionnaire to assess depression. The prevalence of depression and high body fat was 7.9% and 41.1%, respectively. Only PFOA was significantly associated with depression in the entire sample (prevalence rate (PR): 1.91; confidence interval (CI95%): 1.01–3.65). However, in the group with normal adiposity, PFOA (3.20, CI95%: 1.46–7.01), PFNA (2.54, CI95%: 1.29–5.00), and PFDA (2.09, CI95%: 1.09–4.00) were also significant. Future research should investigate the role of obesity as well as the biological plausibility and possible mechanisms increasing the limited number of evidences between PFAS and depression.
GEMS Embeddings of Hayward Regular Black Holes in Massless and Massive Gravities
Authors: Hong Soon-Tae , Kim Yong-Wan , Park Young-Jai
Published: November 2023

After finding a solution for the Hayward regular black hole (HRBH) in massive gravity, we embed the (3+1)-dimensional HRBHs both in massless and in massive gravities into (5+2)- and (6+3)-dimensional Minkowski spacetimes, respectively. Here, massive gravity denotes that a graviton acquires a mass holographically by broken momentum conservation in the HRBH. The original HRBH has no holographically added gravitons, which we call ‘massless’. Making use of newly found embedding coordinates, we obtain desired Unruh temperatures and compare them with the Hawking and local fiducial temperatures, showing that the Unruh effect for a uniformly accelerated observer in a higher-dimensional flat spacetime is equal to the Hawking effect for a fiducial observer in a black hole spacetime. We also obtain freely falling temperatures of the HRBHs in massless and massive gravities seen by freely falling observers, which remain finite even at the event horizons while becoming the Hawking temperatures in asymptotic infinity.

Published: November 2023

With the continuous growth in the global population, rapid socioeconomic development, and the impacts of factors like climate change, we are facing increasingly severe challenges regarding water scarcity. The scientific and rational allocation of water resources has become a key factor in ensuring sustainable development. The Henan Yellow River water supply zone occupies a crucial position in the socioeconomic development of Henan Province. Currently, there is a shortage of water resources with relatively low utilization rates. To alleviate the contradiction between water supply and demand, a study on the optimization of water resources (with p = 90%) for the years 2025 and 2030 was conducted. In this study, we constructed a multi-objective optimization model with the objectives of maximizing economic benefits, minimizing total water shortage, and maximizing water use efficiency. The second-generation non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) was utilized to solve this model. The results indicate that by 2025, the optimized allocation of water resources will correspond to 17.663 billion m3, reducing the average water shortage rate in the research area to 9.69%. By 2030, the optimized allocation of water resources will further increase to 18.363 billion m3, bringing down the average water shortage rate to 8.34%. Concurrently, the supply structure of the research area will significantly improve after optimization. This is manifested through an increase in the proportion of surface water supply and a substantial rise in the proportion of supply from other water sources, while the proportion of groundwater supply noticeably decreases. These research findings can serve as a reference for the rational utilization and distribution of water resources in the future and can also offer insights for optimizing water resource allocation in other regions.

Published: November 2023

Investigations into runoff change and its influencing factors hold immense significance for promoting sustainable development, efficient water resource utilization, and the improvement of the ecological environment. To reduce methodological uncertainties, this study employed six attribution analysis methods, including two statistical approaches, a Budyko equation sensitivity coefficient method, and three hydrology models, to differentiate the contributions of climate change and human activities to the runoff change in the Xiliugou basin. The results indicated an abrupt change point in 2006, and the annual runoff series from 1960 to 2020 demonstrated a significant declining trend. All the six methods revealed that human activities were the major influencing factor. The average contribution rate of climate change was noted to be 24.2%, while that of human activities was 75.8% among the six methods used for this study. The prominent human activities in the Xiliugou basin revolve around soil and water conservation measures. The research findings hold great significance for the comprehensive understanding of runoff formation and its response to the changing environment in the Xiliugou basin. Additionally, these results can provide a foundation for decision-making for water resource management and ecological protection.

Berbagai bahan dan protokol klinis pulp capping telah digunakan selama bertahun-tahun untuk menjaga kesehatan dan vitalitas kompleks pulpa dan menginduksi sel pulpa untuk membentuk jaringan keras (dentin reparatif/tersier). Pulpa dapat diselamatkan dengan perawatan pulp capping. Perawatan ini melibatkan penempatan semacam bahan di atas pulpa untuk melindunginya dan mempertahankan viabilitasnya. Bahan yang paling umum digunakan dalam indirect pulp capping adalah kalsium hidroksida. Laporan kasus ini membahas mengenai perawatan gigi 47 dengan diagnosis pulpitis reversibel dengan menggunakan kalsium hidroksida sebagai bahan indirect pulp capping yang selanjutnya dilakukan perawatan restorasi kelas I komposit. Kalsium hidroksida memiliki beberapa kelemahan, yaitu tingkat kelarutan yang tinggi, kurangnya adhesi dan sifat fisiko-mekanis yang buruk. Tetapi kalsium hidroksida masih menjadi ‘gold standard’. Hal ini karena kemampuannya untuk berdisosiasi menjadi ion kalsium dan hidroksil, memiliki pH tinggi, sifat antibakteri, serta kemampuan untuk merangsang odontoblas dan sel pulpa lainnya untuk membentuk dentin reparatif melalui respon inflamasi. Selain itu, kalsium hidroksida merupakan bahan yang ekonomis dan mudah didapat sehingga menjadi bahan yang paling umum digunakan.
La mise en représentation du «bon gouvernement» : le programme iconographique du Livre juratoire d’Agen (fin XIIIe siècle)
Authors: Roux Tom-Loup
Published: November 2023

The Livre juratoire (“oath book”) contains the writing of the customs of Agen, that is to say the city’s urban liberties and franchises which were put in writing at the end of the 13th century. Through the 93 sheets of medieval parchment, one discovers the system of administration of the city, which confirms a balance of power between the count and the twelve consuls in the exercise of political prerogatives. Illuminations in the Livre juratoire occupy a very important place in this manuscript. Of its 57 articles, 51 are illuminated with a historiated initial or a miniature. Each of these images depicts the subject matter developed in the chapter it accompanies, according to the information conveyed by the text. From this point on, it would seem that the image maintains a semiological relationship with the text, which is indispensable to the construction of a general political discourse on consular “good government”.
Le marquisat de Llo et le droit féodal. Contribution à l’histoire des fiefs de dignité en Roussillon au XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Blanc François-Pierre
Published: November 2023

The royal right of titled fiefdoms was created in the 16th century to create a hierarchy of nobility logically based on land wealth, translated into a grouping of fiefdoms that the king decorated with dignity, and whose purpose was in principle to allow the titled vassal to perform the military service he owed to the king. The creation of counties or marquisates was to multiply in modern times, but the original land scheme, always affirmed in the letters of erection, could take the paths of legal fiction. The Marquisate of Llo, in Cerdanya, is a topical example.
Le bain du Dauphin, infrastructures et aménagements balnéaires à Bagnères-de-Bigorre à la gloire des Bourbons
Authors: Sanchez Jean-Christophe
Published: November 2023

In 1781, during the annual meeting of the Provincial States of Bigorre, the deputies decided to build a bath dedicated to «suffering humanity» and to «give thanks to heaven for having granted an heir [Louis-Joseph, born on October 22, 1781] to the wishes of France». The consuls of Bagnères-de-Bigorre hastened to answer this wish, following the example of the enthusiasm of their ancestors during the arrival of Louis-Auguste de Bourbon duc du Maine (1675, 1677, 1681). This was a fundamental moment which gave rise to close links between the Pyrenean territories (Bigorre, Haut-Adour and Bagnères) with Versailles and the Court. A century later, they offered the springs of the bath of the Poor and financed in part the construction work which was entrusted to Louis Moisset (1741-1857), sub-engineer of the Bridges and Roads of Bigorre. The Dauphin’s bath represents today, on a Pyrenean scale and even more on a national scale, an exceptional testimony and without comparable example of the bathing architecture of the end of the 18th century.

Published: November 2023

Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de analisar a interseção entre o Direito a Liberdade Religiosa e os Direitos resguardados aos animais não humanos, ambos previstos constitucionalmente. O trabalho busca investigar quais os possíveis limites ao direito à liberdade religiosa, tendo em vista os sacrifícios de animais que ocorrem em determinadas religiões. É sabido que a Constituição Federal de 1988 tutela a respeito dos animais não humanos, vedando ações de maus tratos e crueldades, contudo, libera ações humanas que afetam diretamente os direitos assegurados aos animais. Este estudo possui como fundamento o método hermenêutico, tendo como base a revisão bibliográfica e documental. Para isso, foi realizada uma análise da Constituição brasileira, especificamente dos artigos referentes à tutela dos Direitos dos Animais e do Direito brasileiro como um todo no que diz respeito a proteção dos animais não humanos. A pesquisa ocorreu na base de dados do portal de periódicos da CAPES com o auxílio das palavras-chave “Direito dos animais não humanos”. “Direito à liberdade religiosa”; Sacrifício” e “Constituição”.

Published: November 2023

This paper analyses the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on corporate financial performance (CFP) in the financial and healthcare sectors in China, examining the annual financial data and ESG scores of a total of 124 companies between 2016 and 2021 and selecting ROA, corporate financial leverage, company size and board size as variables. A panel data regression was used to conduct an econometric analysis to examine the impact of social responsibility on corporate financial performance in the total industry, the financial industry and the healthcare industry, respectively. The empirical analysis of this study concluded that the effect of CSR on corporate financial performance has different results in different industries, the effect of CSR on CFP is significant and negative in the healthcare industry and insignificant in the financial industry.

However, there are some limitations to this study. The study only considered the financial sector and the healthcare sector and was not able to include a number of other sectors for comparison. The study was also limited by the sample size of CSR in Chinese companies, which made the model less convincing, and the choice of variables also affected the results. However, these provide ideas and provide a pavement for future research.

Authors: Butarbutar Ranta
Published: November 2023

For millennial learners, SDL and self-access English study on the web is interesting learning options. Physical space and separation are anticipated since web-based learning may be accessed at any time and from any place. The present study's goal is to find out what kinds of English-language websites students use to improve their speaking skills. Additionally, it is anticipated to look at how learners' perceptions of their speaking skills (cognitive, emotional, and complexity) grow as a result of self-directed learning for web-based English access. Due to the improvement in their speaking abilities for SDL and web-based English access, fourth-year undergraduate students in the Indonesian English department were the subjects of the research. The ATLAS.ti application benefits from the thematic analysis of the collected internet data. Three speaking improvement characteristics may be supported by the findings: (1) cognition, fluency, and accuracy outcomes; (2) emotional and motivational outcomes; and (3) learners' problems while using SDL web-based learning. Our study has certain limits, however, and we highly advise participatory action research for future work to assess time management and tailor learning tactics to the level of the learner. The English-language site design will be addressed last.

Morphometric analysis of the bottom topography of a large valley reservoir during its evolution
Authors: Pogorelov Anatoly , Laguta Andrey , Netrebin Petr
Published: November 2023

Until now, the study of the morphology of the bottom of large reservoirs, subject to gradual siltation, received little attention. Morphometric descriptions of reservoirs are limited by the type, shape, altitude position, size of the bed, and the volume of water in them. The article presents the results of the analysis of the bottom relief of the Krasnodar Reservoir and the transformations of this relief for 2005–2021. The analysis was performed based on the materials of bathymetric surveys for the regulated volume of the reservoir on an area of 224 km2 with the construction of the corresponding digital relief models. The relief of the bottom of the reservoir is represented by flat areas of a flooded accumulative plain with prevailing slopes of about 0.2–0.4°, dissected by river channels of lower order tributaries. The transformation of the relief is caused by gradual siltation. The total volume of deposits for the specified area in 2005–2021 amounted to 127 million m3 with an average silt layer of 0.4 m. To describe the morphological properties of the bottom topography, we used geomorphometric techniques with the calculation of the BPI (Bathymetric Position Index) and the classification of mesoscale landforms based on it. For the bed, relief forms have been established related to three types of surfaces: flat (lower bank shelf), concave (depressions, deep depressions) and convex (reef crests, back reefs, mid-slope reefs). The constructed maps reflect the differentiated morphology of the bed surface, the evolution of landforms under conditions of continuous transformation of the basin, and also make it possible to judge the prevailing processes of morphogenesis. The coastal zone and the shallow part of the bed are the most complex in morphological terms. Here, along with reefs of different genesis, deep depressions and depressions in the form of underwater channels in advanced deltas can form on the accumulative shoal.
Topographic data in the cartographic support of geological exploration: current state and prospects
Authors: Loginov Dmitriy
Published: November 2023

The purpose of the current study is an attempt to characterize the scientific and practical issues of modern topographic data preparation and its use in geological exploration. The study is based on the long-term author’s experience in cartographic support of field and cameral geological and geophysical works and on the analysis of modern research in topographical mapping. The specifics of providing access to modern topographic data in the Russian Federation, the Republic of India and the Republic of Colombia, where the main experimental work has been carried out, are briefly described. The content features of the topographic map sheets of these countries are shortly summarized. Practical results of solving such exploration tasks as survey network design, creation of terrain sketch, processing and interpretation of geological and geophysical data, creation of digital terrain models, and preparation of base maps for web services are presented. The prospective directions for further research in improving the use of topographic data in geological exploration are given. It has been found that topographic maps and data are increasingly being used as base layers in the creation of the modern web map services. A balanced and critical approach to the use of global topographic data resources is need for geological exploration as a state’s strategic activity. The industry needs publicly available national multiscale topographic maps as well as theoretical and methodological foundations for the use of web mapping advances in mineral prospecting and exploration.

The Republic of Uzbekistan is actively developing a network of stations of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which is an integral part of the country’s national spatial data infrastructure. Particular attention in the republic has recently been paid to the practical use of the results of GNSS measurements and geoinformation security in areas with increased seismic hazard, especially near man-caused objects. The paper considers the territory of the Tashkent region—one of the most seismically active regions of the republic. GNSS measurements are often sparse and unevenly distributed, and to refine the “block” or “continuous” tectonic models and identify patterns of modern movements in this area, a spatial velocity model is needed, which can be obtained by interpolating discrete points to the remaining area not covered by measurements. The work used measurements at 14 GNSS points for the period from 2018 to 2020. Point velocities or the so-called velocity model obtained in the GAMIT/GLOBK program made it possible to estimate horizontal point velocities, the range of which varies from 21 mm/yr to 33 mm/yr. With respect to the “stable” Eurasian tectonic plate, the values of local displacements of the area were also calculated, which can be both a consequence of the movement of microblocks and the influence of technogenic factors (mining in the area of the Angren and Almalyk points). To obtain a continuous distribution field of the horizontal velocities of the region, the method of coupled interpolation of two-dimensional vectors of the velocity field was used, implemented in the GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) program. It was found that according to the geological data of the region, the interpolation method quite accurately allows to determine the main trends in the movements of the earth’s crust in the region. A rotational movement along the Karzhantau, Kumbel and Chatkal tectonic plates has been revealed. The values of horizontal displacements of points reached a minimum value of 3 mm in the plain part, and maximum values of up to 10 mm were noted in the mountainous areas of the region. The average velocity of stations in the region was 4 mm/year.

The design of ski resorts, considering the surrounding areas and their characteristics, is a complex and multifaceted process that requires taking into account not only the geographical, but also the socio-economic aspects of the region. Along with the assessment within the mountain slopes, the project should assess the features of the development of the territory, its engineering development and other technogenic elements of the anthropogenic impact on the area. Experience in the construction of such facilities indicates that high-precision spatial data on the area of work are in demand by all participants in the processes of economic evaluation of the project and design. This information is used to optimize the location of lifts, driveways, snow gun conduits, landscape design solutions, hotels, restaurants and other residential infrastructure. The most promising method of geoinformation support for such projects today is the selection of complex multi-scale GIS data, including laser scanning with simultaneous planned and inclined aerial photography. Subsequently, these materials, together with highly detailed satellite images of adjacent territories, are used to create virtual models with a set of functions adapted to the needs of users with an average and low level of training in working with spatial data. At this stage, classic full-featured GIS packages have a number of disadvantages. The most common problem for users who have not previously encountered such data is the difficulty in mastering. Full-featured GIS packages can be expensive to purchase, while free solutions don’t provide enough functionality. The use of significant spatial data in a situation where users are located in different locations requires high-speed Internet access, and still does not provide the desired performance and flexibility. The approach to data organization used in this work eliminates the above disadvantages. There is no need to use complex GIS packages. As a replacement, virtual environments are created that are closed from editing and access to the source data. The resulting virtual model of the territories of existing and planned elements of ski clusters is focused on increasing the spatial awareness of users. It was possible to realize the functionality and the possibility of using the model on conventional computers in the mode of combining the high spatial accuracy of the model with its significant territorial coverage (over 25 000 km2).
Features of the formation of a database of glaciers of the Putorana Plateau and the Munku-Sardyk Ridge
Authors: Kitov Aleksandr

The state of mountain glaciers is closely related to the provision of water resources, tracking climate change, transforming the landscape, etc. Therefore, conducting regular inventories of glaciation areas is a fundamental task of geographical research. The results of the glacier inventory are recorded in special catalogs, currently in digital databases. Such a catalog existed for the glaciers of the USSR, which is presented and expanded in digital form as a database (DB) of glaciers in Russia. The current state of the world’s glaciers is reflected in the database through the Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) service, which is supplemented by data from Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) and GAMDAM (Glacier Area Mapping for Discharge from the Asian Mountains). The database was created at the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences, also included in the GLIMS database. However, these databases do not reflect the dynamics of glaciers with a certain periodicity. There are also features of mountain ranges that make it difficult to decrypt glaciers. Such an area includes the Putorana plateau. The trapway structure of the relief, which contributes to the formation of perennial snowflakes, and the presence of many rivers and lakes on which ice forms, requires additional information to compile a database of glaciers. The representation of the characteristics of glaciers for several main parameters (area, length, exposure, elevation of the bottom and top of the glacier, etc.) in a mountain range including 10–20 glaciers is not difficult. However, the glaciers of the Putorana plateau are distinguished by their abundance and peculiarity of configuration, determined by the features of the relief. Only according to the initial data (topographic maps), about two hundred nival-glacial objects were identified, recorded as glaciers. Therefore, it is advisable to consider this database as a database of nival-glacial formations, which are to be classified according to the type of object. Presenting the dynamics of glaciers in the database, under the condition of climate warming, leading mainly to the reduction and disappearance of glaciers, it is also necessary to take into account the disintegration of once large glaciers. The latter is characteristic of the glaciers of the Putorana plateau. The created database reflects the state of glaciers in 1960, 1979, 1987. In this paper, a comparison is made with the glaciers of the Munku-Sardyk ridge, as characteristic and most studied representatives of the glaciation of the southern part of Siberia. The features of the presentation of the characteristics of these glaciers in international databases are noted.

The article presents a description of the developed software module for creating maps of the probability distribution of encountering sea ice. The module allows to process collections of raster map files based on satellite data and obtain vector maps of the probability distribution of encountering sea ice. Source data is Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) maps provided in raster format without georeferencing, and National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) maps provided in GeoTIFF format with georeferencing. The module implements an algorithm that allows to calculate the probability of ice occurrence of a given concentration interval at each point (pixel) of a raster map, and then build polygonal vector maps in SHP-format based on the array of probabilities. The algorithm for constructing polygonal objects provides for a sequential enumeration of all horizontal adjacent pairs of elements of the array of probabilities, followed by determining the boundaries of the polygon. Detection of the first points of the polygon boundary allows to start a cyclic search for adjacent points that meet the boundary condition and creating a complete list of points of a closed polygon. Similarly, all other polygons are searched within the water area specified by the color mask. At the last stage, the lists of Cartesian coordinates of points are converted into geographical coordinates. Based on them, polygonal objects are formed in the SHP-file format. Polygon features define areas of probability of encountering ice that belong to the same interval, and include numeric attributes with values for the boundaries of the probability intervals. The generated vector maps allow further data analysis in GIS applications. The developed software was used to build maps of the probability distribution of encountering ice in the waters of the Far Eastern seas.
