ЗАГРЯЗНЕННОСТЬ ОЗЕРНЫХ ЭКОСИСТЕМ ЮЖНОГО ПРИАРАЛЬЯ
Authors: Чембарисов Э.И. , Баллиев А.И.
Published: November 2023

В связи с неблагоприятной гидроэкологической обстановкой в Южном Приаралья наблюдения за загрязненности воды в водных объектах данного региона имеют как научную, так и практическую ценность, это касается не только качества воды р. Амударьи и воды оросительных каналов, но и сохранившихся озерных экосистем.
К настоящему времени от общей площади дельтовых озер 300,0 тыс. га осталось около 50 – 60 тыс. га, так как за последнее сорок лет в дельте Амударьи произошли значительные негативные изменения. Из-за нерационального использования воды в верховье бассейна р. Амударьи водные ресурсы низовьев реки оказались под воздействием существенного дефицита пресной воды. Ограничение притока Амударьинской воды в дельту привело к тому, что часть озер пересохло, некоторые из ник перешли на питание коллекторно-дренажным стоком, и только благодаря практическим действиям Международного фонда спасения Арала (МФСА) удалось сохранить важнейшие озера Южного Приаралья с поступлением в них постоянного речного или коллекторного стока [1 – 8].
В связи с этим в данной статье рассмотрена загрязненность сохранившихся озерных экосистем вышеназванной территории по данным республиканского комитета по экологии и охране окружающей среды за 2017 – 2023 гг.

Authors: Luiz Juliana R.
Published: November 2023

Ao longo dos anos 2000, as políticas públicas brasileiras experienciaram a abertura para a participação social. A política externa, comumente isolada dos debates internos, também foi influenciada por esse processo, passando a contar com o envolvimento de movimentos sociais rurais em algumas agendas, como foi o caso da agenda internacional da agricultura familiar. Neste artigo, a participação da Contag na política externa brasileira foi analisada a partir das narrativas políticas desenvolvidas pela Organização, bem como pelas oportunidades políticas construídas em duas arenas internacionais: OMC e FAO. Além de informar detalhes sobre a participação da Confederação nos debates de política externa, o artigo analisou as convergências e divergências de participação da Contag nos dois organismos internacionais citados.

Despite having emerged from pandemic status, the incidence of COVID-19 episodes has recently increased in Spain, including pediatric cases and admissions to Intensive Care Units. Several recombinant variants are circulating among us, particularly XBB arising from two Omicron BA.2 sublineages with mutations in the genes encoding the spicule proteins that could increase binding to the ACE2 receptor and be more prone to immune escape. Faced with these, 3 pharmaceutical companies have developed vaccines adapted to the XBB.1.5 sublineage that are already available for administration in our setting with risks that should not be different from those of previous mRNA vaccines and with clearly favorable benefit/risk ratios. They should be applied to patients with potential for poor COVID-19 evolution and to collectives that have a particular relationship of proximity with them. Their application should be understood not only from a perspective of individual convenience but also from that of collective responsibility. The most convenient seems to be a simultaneous immunization of COVID-19 and influenza in our environment. In the therapeutic aspect, there is little to expect right now from antisera, but the already known antiviral drugs are still available and indicated, although their efficacy will have to be reevaluated due to their impact on populations that are mostly immunized and with a better prognosis than in the past. In our opinion, it is necessary to continue to make a reasonable and timely use of masks and other non-pharmacological means of protection.
Negotiating Entanglements and the Emotion Market: Tourism and Society Relations in Tasmania
Authors: Ooi Can-Seng , Shelley Becky
Published: November 2023

This study draws lessons from Australia to suggest that tourism–society entanglements are negotiated, dynamically woven, and the processes may subvert established relations in tourism and society. Entanglements assume separateness, as in a compartmentalized reality. Yet, the processes
of entanglement involve bargaining and are dynamic. We contend that entanglements between tourism and society are selectively negotiated within the emotion market. With an empirical focus in Tasmania, Australia, we examine the negotiation of social, economic, and political relations within
the framework of the emotion market. These interlocking relations also reflect how modern society–with its economic, social, and political compartmentalizing structures–has emerged into a complex mass of social, economic, and political relations. In this context it is difficult
to navigate a path towards a politics of outcomes for tourism that benefits society, the economy, and the environment.

Published: November 2023

Value-based education is regulated in securing development that requires complete integration between body, mind and heart, as well as channeling life energy in learning activities that contribute to the growth of the child's personality both internally and externally. This ethos of usefulness through value-based education is actualized in social spaces as the maturation of all forms of strengthening human potential based on values. Value-based education as an instrument seeks to create awareness of the importance of values ​​in the process of transferring knowledge and involves consideration of the ethical consequences of fulfilling one's rights in social praxis which is integrated through the four Tabiat Saleh as guides in realizing everything related to efforts to maintain and develop knowledge. These four Tabiat Saleh form the basis of the main moral teachings in Pancasila, by maintaining the values ​​of human life, and religious values ​​in carrying out physical and spiritual actions in accordance with the unity of human nature as individual beings and social beings, all in a harmonious balance and dynamic.
Adaptation and sustainability: Lessons from Central Coast organic farmers during the pandemic
Authors: Ory Joanna , Iles Alastair , Baur Patrick , Castillo Federico
Published: November 2023

The challenges faced by organic vegetable farmers in California during the COVID-19 pandemic included uncertainty about food safety rules and best practices, availability of workers, and significant changes to their markets. When the pandemic began, we built on an ongoing interdisciplinary research project with organic vegetable farmers on the California Central Coast to track how those growers adapted to the crisis. We conducted surveys in April 2020 and January 2021 to determine impacts on farmers and how farm size, market channels, and management strategies influenced a farm's ability to adapt to and recover from pandemic-induced disruptions. We found that mid-sized farmers with flexible and diverse marketing channels could navigate changes from the pandemic with minimal losses and, in some cases, economic gains. By contrast, smaller farmers with limited resources, especially those with disadvantaged backgrounds and limited access to technology, experienced more drastic impacts, including lost markets, labor shortages, and increased childcare needs. The lessons learned can inform a transition toward more sustainable, resilient agroecological systems.

Authors: Özteki̇n Ruki̇ye , Sponza Deli̇a Teresa
Published: November 2023

In this review study, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyamide (nylon) (PA), polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET); Removal mechanisms through chemical, photocatalytic, biodegradation and hybrid were investigated in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Plastic products are used in almost all aspects of our daily life. Due to their low cost, portability, durability and resistance to degradation, these plastic products affect the health of the environment and biota on a global scale. Therefore, the removal and mineralization of microplastics (MP) is an important necessity in the 21st century. The prevalence of MPs in aquatic ecosystems due to their high degradation resistance and bioaccumulation; It has become an important environmental problem in recent years. Plastic wastes; Gradual discharge, specific removal techniques, inadequate standard detection methods, and slow destruction rates of MPs lead to the ubiquity of these wastes. Evidence shows that MPs act as a potential vector by adsorbing different heavy metals, pathogens, and other chemical additives widely used in different raw plastic production. MPs are ingested by aquatic creatures such as fish and different crustaceans, and finally, people ingest them at the tertiary level of the food chain. With this phenomenon, MPs are responsible for the blockage of the digestive tract, the disruption of digestive behavior and, finally, the reduction of reproductive development of all living organisms. After all, MPs; has become an emerging potential threat and a source of increasing concern; This situation urgently requires the control of MPs in aquatic environments. Similar studies in the literature; It was evaluated in order to shed light on different studies that can be done on this subject in the future.

Published: November 2023

In this paper, the sediment pollution in the Gulf of Elefsina, over the period 1986-2010, has been measured and presented. The pollution had been measured regarding heavy metals, like cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn). Initially, the measured area is presented, along with the sources of pollution in the historical background and the wider region. Three pollutant indicators had been calculated for the investigation of Sediment Pollution: The Pollution Load Index (PLI), the Enrichment Factor (EF) and the Geo-accumulation index (Igeo). The results of the Pollution Control and Environmental Quality Office measurements had been used for the calculation of these indicators, taken at six locations of the coast and three locations in the center of the Gulf of Elefsina. The study of these indicators reveals that there is heavy metal pollution at all sampling locations, while the most heavily affected areas of the Gulf are these near Skaramangas Shipyards and Elefsis Shipyards. More intense pollution is recorded for Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn. More specifically, high values of Cd had been measured at all sampling points, while for Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn high values had been measured in areas that are active in shipbuilding-repair and dismantling units. In contrast, there is no pollution for Mn.

Authors: He Ying , Chen Chun-Lan , He Jian , Liu Si-De
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Anxiety is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including those with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD); however, the causal relationship between IBD and anxiety remains unknown.

AIM

To investigate the causal relationship between IBD and anxiety by using bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis.

METHODS

Single nucleotide polymorphisms retrieved from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of the European population were identified as genetic instrument variants. GWAS statistics for individuals with UC (6968 patients and 20464 controls; adults) and CD (5956 patients and 14927 controls; adults) were obtained from the International IBD Genetics Consortium. GWAS statistics for individuals with anxiety were obtained from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (2565 patients and 14745 controls; adults) and FinnGen project (20992 patients and 197800 controls; adults), respectively. Inverse-variance weighted was applied to assess the causal relationship, and the results were strengthened by heterogeneity, pleiotropy and leave-one-out analyses.

RESULTS

Genetic susceptibility to UC was associated with an increased risk of anxiety [odds ratio: 1.071 (95% confidence interval: 1.009-1.135), P = 0.023], while genetic susceptibility to CD was not associated with anxiety. Genetic susceptibility to anxiety was not associated with UC or CD. No heterogeneity or pleiotropy was observed, and the leave-one-out analysis excluded the potential influence of a particular variant.

CONCLUSION

This study revealed that genetic susceptibility to UC was significantly associated with anxiety and highlighted the importance of early screening for anxiety in patients with UC.

In order to maintain and strengthen his market position in a competitive environment, an entrepreneur must constantly work on himself, look for ways to reduce the cost of goods, introduce marketing, and advertise. In the literature, agreements on mutual agreement, increase, and coordination of prices by competitors without competition are called cartel agreements (collusion). It is said that such cooperation of competitors in setting prices allows them to act like a "hidden" monopoly.

Authors:   Zoological Museum, Natural History  Museum of Denmark, Schwarzhans Werner W. , Nielsen Kent A.
Published: November 2023

Few deepwater otolith associations from the Eocene have been found so far. The small assemblage of aragonitic-preserved otoliths from the Lillebælt Clay Formation described here therefore adds to the understanding of early Palaeogene deep-sea fish faunas. These otoliths were obtained from a level at about the Ypresian/Lutetian interface and may thus be older than the otoliths previously described from Trelde Næs from mold casts from carbonate concretions. Only 14 otoliths were recovered from about 6,000 kg processed bulk samples. The assemblage also differs in the composition and contains three new species and one new genus: Diaphus? duplex n. sp., Bregmaceros danicus n. sp. and the ophidiid Pronobythites schnetleri n. gen, n. sp. In addition, the new genus Treldeichthys n. gen. in Acanthomorpha incertae sedis is established for T. madseni (Schwarzhans, 2007). The small assemblage also differs in composition from comparable associations described from southwest France and northern Italy on the species level but shows some relationship on a higher systematic level. The mechanism and timing of the colonization of the deep sea by selected groups of fishes is discussed, particularly in respect to the depth migration of demersal fishes.

Este estudio se centró en una evaluación exhaustiva del empleo de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC), las Tecnologías del Aprendizaje y el Conocimiento (TAC), y las Tecnologías Educativas Personalizadas (TEP) en el contexto de instituciones educativas públicas y privadas en Ecuador, especialmente considerando el panorama postpandemia. Los resultados revelaron un antagonismo tecnológico evidente: las instituciones privadas disfrutan de un acceso significativamente más amplio a dispositivos actualizados, conectividad a Internet de calidad, abundantes recursos digitales y tecnología educativa avanzada, mientras que las instituciones públicas enfrentan restricciones en estos ámbitos. Esta brecha tecnológica ha suscitado preocupaciones acerca de la equidad en la educación, ya que el acceso a herramientas y recursos tecnológicos influye de manera significativa en la calidad de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje. Es fundamental reconocer que la tecnología desempeña un papel esencial en la educación actual y futura, especialmente en un contexto postpandemia en el que la enseñanza a distancia y el aprendizaje en línea son cada vez más relevantes. Para abordar esta diferencia, es necesario que las políticas educativas promuevan la inclusión y el acceso igualitario a la tecnología en todas las instituciones educativas. Además, se requiere una inversión significativa en la formación docente para garantizar que los educadores estén preparados para aprovechar al máximo estas tecnologías en el aula. La colaboración entre el sector público y privado también puede desempeñar un papel clave en la reducción de la brecha tecnológica y en la mejora de la calidad de la educación en Ecuador.

Bu araştırmada, Türkiye’de spor eğitimi veren yükseköğretim kurumlarında idari göreve sahip akademisyenlerin enneagram kişilik tipleri ile çok yönlü liderlik yönelimleri arasındaki ilişkinin bazı değişkenler açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak; araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, Subaş ve Çetin (2017) tarafından geliştirilen “Enneagram Kişilik Ölçeği (EKÖ)” ve Dursun ve arkadaşları (2019) tarafından geliştirilen “Çok Yönlü Liderlik Yönelimi Ölçeği (ÇYLYÖ)” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini Türkiye’de spor eğitimi veren yükseköğretim kurumlarında idari göreve sahip akademisyenler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini bu akademisyenler içerisinden seçkisiz örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 34 kadın 110 erkek olmak üzere toplam 144 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin analizinde; değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenebilmesinde t-Testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA), ölçekler arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenebilmesi için Pearson Korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinden elde edilen sonuçlara göre, akademisyenlerin EKÖ, Mükemmeliyetçi ve Reis alt boyutlarının en yüksek, Yardımcı alt boyutunun en düşük ortalamaya sahip olduğu görülmektedir. ÇYLYÖ’nde ise yapısal liderlik alt boyunun en yüksek, politik liderlik alt boyunun en düşük ortalamaya sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Araştırma bulgularına göre, akademik alandaki idari görevlerin ve bireylerin kişilik özellikleri ile liderlik yönelimleri arasında belirgin ilişkiler olduğu ortaya koyulmaktadır. Özellikle, belli idari görevlere sahip akademisyenlerin belirli enneagram kişilik tipleri ve liderlik yönelimleri alt boyutlarıyla daha yüksek uyum gösterdikleri tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, cinsiyet, bölüm ve gelir düzeyi gibi değişkenlerin de bu ilişkilerde belirleyici olabildiği gözlemlenmiştir. Son olarak, idari göreve sahip akademisyenlerin, çok yönlü liderlik yönelimleri arttıkça enneagram kişilik özelliklerinin de artış gösterdiği söylenilebilir.

Evolving evidence underpinning musculoskeletal physiotherapy challenges the definitions of contemporary clinical practice and pre-registration curricula. This research uses an online national survey to compare clinician (272) and lecturer (61) views on the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy’s four pillars of practice (manual therapy and therapeutic handling; exercise, movement, and rehabilitation; therapeutic and diagnostics technologies; and allied approaches, including psychologically informed approaches) with the aim of establishing their clinical and educational utility. Findings indicate that close alignment exists between practising U.K. musculoskeletal physiotherapists and U.K. pre-registration physiotherapy lecturers on the ongoing relevance of exercise therapy and psychologically informed approaches to behaviour change. The paper also shows that a mismatch exists in the clinical and educational use of both manual therapy and electrotherapy between practising physiotherapists and physiotherapy lecturers. Future research should focus on the highlighted need to continue to align pre-registration musculoskeletal curricula with both the evidence base and clinical practice for the curricular areas of electrotherapy and manual therapy.

Influence of Intermittency on the Energy Transfer Rate of Solar Wind Turbulence
Authors: Wu Honghong , Huang Shiyong , Wang Xin , Yang Liping , Yuan Zhigang
Published: November 2023

The intermittency in the solar wind turbulence manifests itself in the anisotropic scaling due to the anisotropic spectral index and the intermittent level based on the extended P model. However, the influence of intermittency on the energy transfer rate remains unclear. Here we apply the partial variance of increments method to identify the intermittency for the magnetic field measurements in the fast solar wind from the Ulysses spacecraft. We distinguish the sampling direction using the angle θ
RB between the local magnetic field and radial direction to study the anisotropy. We perform the multiorder structure function analyses and adopt the log-Poisson cascade model to describe the role of intermittency in the cascade process. We find that the anisotropy of the scaling becomes isotropic with a complete removal of intermittency. We compare explicitly the anisotropy of the energy transfer rate before and after removing the intermittency for the same interval for the first time. We find a distinct anisotropy with a cascade enhancement in the direction perpendicular to the local magnetic field. The removal of the intermittency greatly weakens the anisotropy by mainly reducing the perpendicular energy transfer rate. Our findings suggest that the intermittency effectively enhances the energy transfer rate, in particular in the perpendicular direction in the solar wind turbulence.
Second-generation Fragments of a Comet Split in the Making: The Liller Family Comets
Authors: de la Fuente Marcos Carlos , de la Fuente Marcos Raúl
Published: November 2023

Kreutz sungrazers and Kracht, Marsden, and Meyer sunskirters are regarded as second- or third-generation fragments of split comets. First-generation fragments have been observed to form, for example, in the cases of comets 73P/Schwassmann–Wachmann 3, D/1993 F2 (Shoemaker–Levy 9), and 332P/Ikeya–Murakami. Here, we compare relevant orbital correlation properties (the distributions of mutual nodal distances, and the angular separation of perihelia and poles) of the Liller family comets—C/1988 A1 (Liller), C/1996 Q1 (Tabur), C/2015 F3 (SWAN), C/2019 Y1 (ATLAS), and C/2023 V5 (Leonard)—with those of fragments of 332P and some Kreutz sungrazers to show that they are first-generation cometary fragments in the process of producing the second-generation.

Published: November 2023

Radiation-induced fistulas (RIF) are uncommon therapeutic complications of radiotherapy in patients treated for carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Synchronous occurrence of enterocervical and enterovesical fistulas secondary to radiation is extremely rare and previously unreported in the literature. We report a case of synchronous enterovesical and enterocervical fistulas in a patient with carcinoma of the cervix treated using chemotherapy and radiation along with a brief overview of etiopathogenesis of RIF.
Anticipating the chemical compositions of organisms across the tree of life
Authors: Visani Marco
Published: November 2023

This study is centered on Natural Products (NPs) - specific chemicals synthesized by living organisms. These NPs hold significant importance in various domains, notably medicine, agriculture, and ecology. A primary resource for our research is the LOTUS database, which catalogues a vast array of NPs and their occurrence. Yet, a gap exists: there are no existing model to predict the occurrence of these NPs across different species.

In our initial strategy, the occurrence of natural products was viewed as a collection of observations and their associated variables. Although simple, this strategy immediately showed its limits when dealing with the complex nature of NPs. We switched to an advanced graph-based method after seeing the necessity for a more thorough strategy to accurately represent the intricate interactions governing NPs expression. When considering species in a phylogeny or molecular pathways, the graph-based method perceives data as a network of connected entities, offering a far more logical and natural way of thinking. By employing this better methodology, we have developed a more effective approach for investigating the intricate world of Natural Products. We hope that this strategy will open up new research directions and possibly result in ground-breaking NP-related findings.

With the continuous intensification of marine traffic worldwide, whale-vessel collisions at sea (or “ship strikes”) have become one of the primary causes of mortality for cetaceans and a widely recognised cause of concern for human safety and economic losses. The Mediterranean Sea is a global hotspot for whale-vessel collisions, with one of the highest rates involving large cetaceans, especially the endangered fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) and sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus). Evidence indicates that both species are experiencing higher chances of a fatal collision than what predictions have estimated so far, with ship strikes being the main human-induced threat in the area. Regional and international organisations have stressed the need to address the issue by investigating the projected impacts of ship strikes on whale populations and by identifying possible mitigation measures to reduce chances of collision. Amongst the most popular and feasible options, there is the improvement of animal detection during navigation. Here, we present SEADETECT, a LIFE project that aims at developing an automated detection system to reduce vessel collision risk with marine mammals and unidentified floating objects (UFOs), combining state-of-the-art and novel technologies with existing approaches in the study of large whale ecology. This detection system consists of three elements; an automated onboard detection system composed of several sensors, a real-time passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) network at sea and a real-time detection-sharing and alert system (REPCET®). In this paper, we propose the development of a mitigation measure framework tailored for the issue of collision with fin and sperm whales in the north-western Mediterranean Sea, but that has the transferability features necessary for its application in other high-risk areas for ship strikes worldwide.
De la prégnance de l’automobile à la perception de ses limites. Une étude ethnographique du choix modal en territoires peu denses en France
Authors: Ramirez Violeta , Sigrist Marie , Grison Elise
Published: November 2023

Dans le contexte du réchauffement climatique et des objectifs gouvernementaux visant la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, les pouvoirs publics et les opérateurs de mobilité s’orientent vers des innovations proposant des alternatives à l’automobilité. Pourtant, l’habitabilité des territoires à faible et très faible densité est rendue possible par l’existence d’un système de mobilité qui donne une place centrale à la voiture. À partir d’une enquête ethnographique réalisée en France, cet article interroge le choix modal des habitants des territoires peu denses. Si la voiture reste centrale dans la culture de ces territoires, des limites à son usage apparaissent dans les représentations de certains habitants. La perception de l’augmentation des coûts de l’automobilité et de ses impacts environnementaux laissent entrevoir les complications croissantes de ce mode de déplacement, autant sur les modes de vie des ménages que sur l’attractivité future des territoires dépendants de l’automobile.
Chapitre 2. Le principe de dignité : un principe universel de portée limitée
Authors: Mathieu Bertrand
Published: November 2023

Au plan international, comme dans de nombreux textes nationaux, la dignité humaine est de manière récurrente invoquée comme la référence cardinale en matière de bioéthique. En réalité ce principe présente des caractéristiques juridiques particulières liées à sa double nature de principe objectif et de principe subjectif. Cependant, en tant qu’il constitue, dans sa dimension objective, un obstacle à l’instrumentalisation de l’humain, il semble parfois présenter un caractère incantatoire et rhétorique. En ce sens la conception des droits fondamentaux organisée exclusivement à partir de la liberté d’un individu autocentré s’avère moins protectrice que le principe de dignité en tant qu’il fonde des interdits.
Chapitre 3. Dignité humaine et droit de la bioéthique dans la jurisprudence des Cours européenne et interaméricaine des droits de l’homme
Authors: Rota Marie
Published: November 2023

Cette contribution analyse la façon dont les Cours européenne et interaméricaine des droits de l’homme se saisissent du concept de Dignité humaine dans des affaires présentant des enjeux bioéthiques. Ne l’appréhendant pas de la même façon – « Dignité-Liberté » d’un côté « Dignité-Égalité » de l’autre – il implique des différences de solutions dans des domaines tels que celui de la définition de la personne humaine, du droit à l’autonomie personnelle, du droit à la santé ou encore du droit à un environnement sain. Cette analyse comparée permet aussi de mieux saisir les limites que peut représenter une lecture trop libérale des droits humains et de proposer des pistes d’amélioration. Elle passerait par une revalorisation de l’égale Dignité des êtres humains par la Cour européenne, grâce à différents outils pouvant être mobilisés sans qu’elle ne soit contrainte de remettre en cause les bases théoriques sur lesquelles tout son système est fondé.
