Relationship between Dissociative Experiences and Schizotypal Personality Traits: Mediating Role of Inferential Confusion
Authors: Ghorbali Akram , Shaeiri Mohammad Reza , Gholami Fesharaki Mohammad
Published: December 2021

Objective: Previous research has shown a relationship between schizotypal personality traits and dissociative tendencies. The Inference-Based Approach (IBA) can explain this relationship to some extent. Purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of inferential confusion in relation to dissociative experiences and schizotypal personality traits.
Method: A total of 341 students from Shahed University participated in this cross-sectional study. Sampling was conducted randomly by the cluster sampling method. Data were collected using the Inferential Confusion Questionnaire (ICQ-EV), Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire-Brief (SPQ-B), and Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES-II). Data were analyzed using SPSS-22 software based on statistical methods including Pearson correlation, Baron and Kenny hierarchical regression and the Sobel test.
Results: There were significant positive relationships between dissociative experiences, schizotypal personality traits, and inferential confusion (P < 0.01). Findings showed that inferential confusion mediates the relationship between dissociative experiences and schizotypal personality traits (β = 0.29; P < 0.001).
Conclusion: According to the obtained results, the present study, considering role of inferential confusion, succeeded in explaining the relationship between dissociative experiences and schizotypal personality traits to some extent

Published: December 2021

Objective: Although many studies have investigated the effect of maternal personality on internalizing and externalizing behaviors of a child, the role of both mother and child’s emotional mechanisms in these behaviors is little explored. The present study was focused on the relationship between the mother’s personality, and internalizing and externalizing behaviors of children with the mediating role of children’s alexithymia, mother’s alexithymia, and children’s emotion regulation (ER).
Method: 162 mothers and elementary school-aged children were recruited regarding their demographics and completed the NEO personality inventory, Child behavior checklist, Toronto alexithymia scale, Children’s alexithymia measure, and Children’s emotion regulation checklist. Data were analyzed using SPSS (ver.23), and AMOS (ver.23).
Results: Structural equations modeling demonstrated an acceptable model fit to data (CMIN/DF = 1.233, RSME = 0.038, GFI = 0.962). Mother’s alexithymia predicted internalizing problems whereas it didn’t predict externalizing problems in children. Also, the bootstrap results indicated that the mother and children’s alexithymia and children’s ER had mediating roles between mother’s personality and externalizing and internalizing problems.
Conclusion: The present results demonstrated that mother’s personality can indirectly, through mother and children’s alexithymia and children’s ER act as an important factor in development of mental problems. In other words, findings indicated that children’s emotional development is not a one-way road, but it is a mutual process that involves both the mother and the child.

Published: December 2021

Objective: The present study evaluated the model of mediating variables concerning effectiveness of mindfulness in improving women's marital satisfaction.
Method: This study was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and control groups. The statistical population included every married woman in Tehran in the year 1396 (2017). The research sample was composed of 60 married women with moderate marital satisfaction. They were chosen using the convenient sampling technique and were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. The experimental group attended 8 sessions of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and the control group was on a waiting list. Both groups answered the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Interpersonal Reactivity Inventory (IRI), Needs for Intimacy Questionnaire of Bagarozi, Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) and the Couple Satisfaction Index (CSI) before and at end of intervention. The data were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using PLS-22 and SPSS-23.
Results: In the initial hypothetical model, which included the direct effect of mindfulness on marital satisfaction and its indirect effects through psychological distress, emotion regulation, empathy, marital intimacy and positive emotion on marital satisfaction, coefficients of all model paths were significant at 95% level except direct path of mindfulness to marital satisfaction (t = 1.14), marital intimacy to marital satisfaction (t = 0.48) and positive affection to marital satisfaction (t = 1.75). After removing the non-significant paths, the model was tested again and the model fit index (GOF = 0.47) was a very good fit for the modified overall model.
Conclusion: The results identified mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention was effective in enhancing marital satisfaction through reducing psychological distress and improving emotion regulation and empathy.

Authors: ETLİOĞLU Mehmet
Published: December 2021

Web 2.0 technology, called the Internet and Social Web, has created a participatory cultural environment in the relations of individuals with each other and with organizations. Businesses use external resources, taking advantage of the collective intelligence and wisdom of online communities, as well as internal resources and professional collaborations in the process of solving problems or obtaining innovative ideas. Today, consumers have begun to be involved in all processes in businesses. The desire of consumers to be included in all the processes of the businesses, the desire of the businesses to learn the demands and needs of the consumers, and the inclusion of them in the innovation processes accelerated the transition to open innovation. The ideas, opinions, suggestions and content created by the masses created online in order to increase the participation of the masses in the management, to design innovative products or services and to solve the problems have become very important. Crowdsourcing in the value creation process provides benefits such as reducing new product development time, reducing innovation costs, increasing the acceptance of new products, and services in the market, and improving the consumer's subjective perception of innovation. However, in the value creation process, who will add value, how the audience will be determined, the size of the audience and motivation are important issues. In this study, the topics of crowdsourcing, open and user innovation, user-generated content, consumer creativity, co-creative consumers, producing consumers and crowdsourcing user behaviors, and the contributions of crowdsourcing to the realization of problem solving processes and innovations of enterprises, and user behaviors are examined.

Financial Events Occurring After the Balance Sheet Date Within the Framework of IAS/TMS 10 Standard and a Suggestion
Authors: ASLAN Yakup
Published: December 2021

The financial statements are a summary of the financial realizations of the businesses. Businesses monitor their performance, loan receipts, and the tax amounts to be paid over the values reflected in the financial statements. All stakeholders, especially investors, who are waiting for information from the enterprise, aim to reach the information they need by looking at the financial statements produced in the enterprise. Investor behavior is shaped according to the financial statements produced by the companies. Essentially, the government knows the tax to be collected with the financial statements, the company has the opportunity to compare its financial success, and the investors reach the financial data they need during the investment decision process among financial instruments. International Accounting Standards contain very comprehensive standards about how financial reporting should be. The aim of these standards, which are called as Turkish Accounting Standards in our country, is to increase the quality of financial reporting. Due to the concept of periodicity, it has to be divided into certain periods due to situations such as the life of the enterprise, which is considered indefinite, the clarification of the taxable figures, the revealing of the operating performance. The balance sheet, in which the assets and resources of the enterprise are depicted on a certain date, is usually produced on the last day of the year under the name of the end-of-period balance sheet. How to handle and evaluate financial events that occur after the balance sheet date is discussed in the Ias/Tms 10 Standard. In the study, Ias/Tms 10 Standard will be discussed comprehensively and sample applications from companies operating in Borsa Istanbul will be shown to contribute to the intelligibility of the standard.

Published: December 2021

This research aims to approach distance education activities and to COVID-19 from a different perspective during the pandemic process. It is seen that many studies in the literature were prepared with a single data collection tool or a limited number of data. In this context, it was thought to bring a different perspective by making data diversification. This research has the ethics committee document issued number 1, dated 25.03.2021, with decision number 96 obtained from the Ethical Board of Kastamonu University. In the research process, one of the basic mixed-method designs, combining (diversification) pattern was used. 865 teachers candidates from 9 different departments and 4 different grade levels, studying in the education faculty of a state university in Turkey in the 2020-2021 academic year, participated in the research. In the research, metaphor application, a word association test, a semi-structured interview and a 20-question scale prepared by the researchers were used as data collection tools. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive, content and inferential statistical methods. As a result of the research, 7 different categories and a total of 153 different metaphors were found out. As a result of the word association test, 6 main concepts and a total of 46 sub-concepts formed. The semi-structured interview and scale results demonstrate that the attitudes of the teacher candidates towards the technical infrastructure, measurement-evaluation, and distance education process are low and that their satisfaction rates are below their expectations.

Authors: ÇAYLAK Adem , KAYMAL Cansu
Published: December 2021

Milliyetçiliği, modernist bir bakış açısıyla değerlendiren kuramcılar; milliyetçiliğin asimilasyonist süreçle etnik azınlıkları baskın gruplar içinde eritme veya “gelenek icat etme” gibi enstrümanlar kullanarak “sosyal bütünleşme” amacına hizmet ettiğini iddia etmişlerdir. Makalede milliyetçiliğin Türkiye’deki ana akım temsilcisi olan Milliyetçi Hareket Partisi’nin (MHP) sosyal bütünleşme işlevini yerine getirip getirmediğinin sorunsallaştırılması hedeflenmiştir. Makalenin amacı, MHP’nin Türkiye’deki sosyal bütünleşme ihtiyacına ne ölçüde cevap verebildiğini sorunsallaştırarak araştırmaktır. MHP’nin örnek olay analizi üzerinden milliyetçiliğin toplumsal bütünleşmeye mi yoksa toplumsal ayrışmaya mı hizmet ettiğini karşılaştırmalı bir perspektiften inceleyen çalışmada, ilkin toplumsal bütünleşme ve ayrışmaya yönelik yaklaşımlar incelenmiştir. Sonrasında MHP özelinde milliyetçiliğin toplumsal bütünleşme ve toplumsal ayrışma işlevi ile ilişkiselliği eleştirel bir biçimde analiz edilmiştir. Makale, nitel bir araştırmadır. Doküman analizi yoluyla toplanan veriler, yorumsamacı ve betimleyici bir yöntemle analiz edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda parti liderlerinin kongre konuşmaları, seçim beyannameleri, MHP ve milliyetçilik konularında yazılan kitaplar, tezler ve makaleler incelenmiştir. Makalede, ulus-devletin temel ideolojisi olan milliyetçiliğin bütünleştirici söylemlerinin aslında dışlayıcı bir nitelik taşıdığı MHP somut örneği üzerinden gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Authors: ŞEN Osman
Published: December 2021

Çalışmada Somali İç Savaşı bağlamında kadının kontrolsüz ortamlarda maruz kaldığı şiddet türevleri ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Kadının maruz kaldığı şiddetin yanı sıra iç savaş ortamındaki rolleri tartışılmıştır. Bu tartışma feminist yaklaşımın ön kabullerinden ziyade ontolojik olarak kadının maruz kaldığı şiddete ve şiddetin çözümü olarak kadına odaklanmıştır. Kadının Somali İç Savaşı’nda sadece güncel şiddetten etkilenmediği aynı zamanda geleneksel statüsü nedeniyle oluşan sorunlarla da uğraştığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bu sorunlara El-Kaide ideolojisini takip edene örgütlerinde dahil olmasıyla kadının temel haklarını dahi kullanma da oldukça zorlandığı müşahede edilmiştir. Kadınların maruz kaldığı şiddetin yanı sıra iç savaş ortamındaki rolleri tartışılmıştır. Akabinde kadının iç savaşta rolünün ve çözümün bir parçası olup olamayacağının irdelenmesi amacıyla uluslararası toplumun Somali’de barışın tesisine dair çabaları mercek altına alınmıştır. Uluslararası toplum Kadın’ın Somali’de durumunu iyileştirmek amacıyla BM bünyesinde çeşitli tedbirler almıştır. Bu tedbirlerden bir kısmı kadınların şiddete maruz kalmasını önleme çabasıyken bir kısmı kadınları barışın tesisi sürecine katmak şeklinde gerçekleşmiştir. Bu tedbirler sayesinde kadınlar bağımsız olarak topluma katkı sağlamaya başlamıştır. El-Kaide ideolojisini takip eden örgütler bu gelişmelerden rahatsız olmuş ve bu kadınları hedef almaya başlamıştır. Bu saldırılar, kadınların siyaset, bürokrasi ve toplumsal hayata daha fazla katkı sağlamasının barışın tesisine katkı sağlayacağı şeklindeki önermeyi doğrular niteliktedir.

Extending the Rights of Diaspora Through External Voting in the Balkan Countries: An Analysis of the Seven Independent States of the Former Yugoslavia
Authors: ERDOĞAN Zahide
Published: December 2021

Many countries are improving diaspora engagement policies to contribute to development processes and maintain ties with their diasporas politically and culturally. The seven independent Balkan states of former Yugoslavia, which are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia, have improved diaspora engagement policies. When compared to their population and GDP, the number of citizens living abroad and remittances received by these countries are proportionally large, so diaspora engagement policies are significant for these countries. This paper aims to examine external voting policies which entitle the diaspora right to vote in the homeland in the seven Balkan states through the lens of diaspora engagement policies. This paper concluded that all the examined countries recognize the potential of their diasporas and have similarities, but they are at different stages of diaspora voting. Although the countries allow external voting, the diaspora’s voting turnout is very limited. Results show that extending the right of diaspora is legally not enough, and new methods need to be improved to cope with challenges. These countries may create a new perspective to increase diaspora’s interest in the homeland elections and consider an extraterritorial and non-residential form of citizenship if they wish to find leverage through diaspora engagement policies for their development.

Introdução: A toxoplasmose é uma doença infecciosa que pode ser transmitida ao feto caso a mulher seja infectada durante o período gestacional. Muitas crianças são assintomáticas ao nascimento, contudo, muitas podem apresentar sequelas graves ao longo da vida. Objetivo: Descrever as informações epidemiológicas da toxoplasmose congênita no estado de Santa Catarina. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo ecológico, com base em dados secundários oficiais. Foram avalias informações referentes ao período de 2010 a 2020. Resultados: Observou-se uma alta incidência de toxoplasmose congênita, especialmente nas regiões da Foz do Itajaí, Nordeste e Planalto Norte, e da Grande Florianópolis, com incidências de 8,79, 6,04 e 5,02 casos por 10.000 nascidos vivos, respectivamente. Salienta-se a presença de alta incidência entre indígenas, com 3,3 casos a cada 100 nascidos vivos. Conclusões: Apesar do progresso em relação à notificação e monitoramento da toxoplasmose gestacional e congênita no estado catarinense, foram identificadas falhas no processo de notificação do recém-nascido, consequentemente, com perda de acompanhamento e tratamento. Em função da alta incidência da toxoplasmose gestacional e congênita, recomenda-se a introdução de medidas educacionais para orientação dessa população. Destaca-se a necessidade de atenção à população indígena.

Authors: Gladyshev V.O. , Nikolaev P.P. , Skrabatun A.V. , Sharandin E.A.
Published: December 2021

In open publications the results of research on the third harmonic generation in the air by femtosecond laser radiation are presented. Most of the studies have been carried out using a titanium-sapphire laser with a central emission wavelength of 800 nm. This work presents for the first time the results of studies of the third harmonic generation in the air from laser radiation with a wavelength of 1032 nm. The source of the laser radiation was an ytterbium femtosecond laser which generated pulses with duration of ~ 250 fs and a repetition rate of 1 kHz. The average output power of the laser reached 1750 mW. Maximum peak intensity of excitation laser radiation was up to 10 TW/cm2. When focusing the laser radiation its filamentation took place and was accompanied by generation of the third harmonic radiation at wavelength of 344 nm. Spectral, energy and spatial characteristics of the generated third harmonic radiation were investigated. Energy measurements were carried out up to the threshold power of pump radiation at which the competing nonlinear processes in the circuit optical elements of the experimental setup began to occur. The maximum average third harmonic emission power was 1.52 mW with a third harmonic conversion efficiency of about 0.085 %. The far-field beam pattern had a symmetric Gaussian profile with a radiation divergence of 0.11 mrad which corresponds to the diffraction quality of the beam (M2 ≈ 1)
Conducting Medium Electrical Conductivity at High Current Density
Authors: Timchenko S.L. , Zadorozhny N.A.
Published: December 2021

The experimental research example of electrical characteristics of structurally heterogeneous thinlayer conductors (nickel, copper) at high current density (108--109 А/m2) is shown. This current density in conditions of the samples intensive cooling is sufficient for the process of irreversible, nonthermally activated deformation. The experiment results show that the conducting medium at high current density has essential nonlinearities expressed in nonlinear dependence of the samples electrical resistance from current density. With repeated current treatments of the samples the conductors' electrical resistivity decreases. The number of defects removed from the volume of material as a result of nickel foil treatment by electric current is estimated. It is shown that under conditions of highdensity direct electric current flow in microvolumes of homogeneous and inhomogeneous conducting media a volume charge can appear. The appearance of the volume charge in a conducting medium can be caused by interaction forces during the motion of electrons and ions. Due to the interaction forces between ions and electrons of basic material and impurities, additional local ionization occurs which is realized in nano-volumes of a conductor. In the case of heterogeneous medium, the volume charge depends on the nature of the specific conductivity distribution. In a homogeneous conductor the volume charge is proportional to the square of the current density in the sample

Published: December 2021

Background: Laboratory animal models were frequently used to assess the efficiency of newly made ventilators. Assessment of efficiency of these ventilators may be useful for human patients affected with respiratory distress or COVID-19. Methods: Rabbits were randomly divided into four groups viz., negative control, positive control (ARDS induced), induced ARDS and co-treated with referral ventilator (VR), ARDS induced and co-treated with experimental ventilator (VE). The groups were assessed by measuring the BGA, vitals, tidal volume (VT) and other ventilator parameters. Result: SpO2 of control group (98.75±0.25) did not reveal any significant difference with VR -1 hr (97.75±0.63), VR-3 hrs (97.75±0.95), VE-1 hr (96.75±1.11) and VE-3hrs (97.25±0.85). While comparing with other groups, ARDS group (61±7.69) revealed a highly significant decrease (p less than 0.01) in the SpO2 level. PEEP of control and other groups were found to be equal (4±0.00).

Published: December 2021

Background: Rice and rice based cropping systems are of prime importance in global food production but continuous rice mono cropping and excessive dependence on chemical fertilisers degrade the soil quality, which can be partly solved by changing into rice-legume system. Methods: The field experiment was conducted during kharif and rabi of 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 at Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar to evaluate direct and residual effect of nutrient management and rice establishment methods on productivity, profitability, nutrient uptake and resource use efficiency in rice-groundnut system. Result: Transplanted rice increased the yield attributes of rice in both the years resulting in 6.0-8.1% higher grain yield than direct seeding. Integrated nutrient management (INM) significantly improved the growth and yield of rice as compared to sole organic and inorganic. Carryover effect of direct seeding increased growth and yield of succeeding groundnut. Residual effect of organic in preceding rice increased pod yield of groundnut. INM to groundnut increased yield parameters of the crop resulting in 19.7-20.2 and 38.9-40.0% higher pod yields than 100% and 75% soil test based fertiliser, respectively in both the years. Direct seeding of rice with INM practice in both the crops performed superior in rice-groundnut cropping system.
El descubrimiento del neoliberalismo: El traductor de Salvador Benesdra
Authors: Guzmán Rubio Federico
Published: December 2021

A pesar de que el neoliberalismo ha sido el sistema económico dominante y la ideología hegemónica en América Latina durante los últimos cuarenta años, son pocos los estudios que abordan su relación con la literatura latinoamericana; de allí el interés de estudiar El traductor de Salvador Benesdra. Para tal fin, el análisis se apoya en los críticos que han historiado las reformas neoliberales (Harvey, Escalante Gonzalbo), en los que han cuestionado sus fundamentos ideológicos (Ahmed, Laval y Dardot) y, también, en los que se han ocupado de la obra de Benesdra (Avaro, Vitagliano). El resultado es una lectura de cómo Benesdra, durante la década de 1990, realiza una representación del nuevo orden neoliberal en diferentes ámbitos sociales (el laboral, el afectivo, el político, el cultural) y una reflexión respecto a la crítica que articula sobre este tema. En última instancia, también se muestran los vasos comunicantes existentes entre el neoliberalismo y la literatura latinoamericana.
“Post-quarantine” social reality: contours and contradictions
Authors:   Institute of Socio-Political Research — Branch of the Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Karepova S.G. , Kostolomova M.V.
Published: December 2021

This study examined a new stage of “deconstruction” of social reality caused by the COVID-19 virus pandemic. The authors note that the deep societal changes that have occurred have led to the "reformatting" of social reality into a new qualitative state — “post-quarantine” or “post-pandemic”. The fact is actualized that the macrosocietal and microsocietal changes in society generated by the pandemic are fraught with significant “explosive” potential, requiring in the future an understanding and an adequate response from society. However, the most important spheres of life of the Russian society do not meet the new challenges and risks, as well as the appropriate criteria and goals of sustainable development. Bifurcation tendencies of the “post-quarantine” social reality are being formed, which are based on a number of key contradictions that require resolution by society in order to adapt to qualitatively different conditions and patterns of life activity. The article substantiates the expediency of scientific analysis of the presented contradictions, since the strategy developed as a result will contribute to finding a way out of the current situation and the formation of resource-saving scenarios for the development of Russian society. At the same time, the authors propose to carry out such an analysis through the prism of system-forming social institutions that are always determinants of the development of social reality and have already been significantly affected in the new conditions. In addition, the article notes that the strategy of forming a desirable future for society is impossible without scientific analysis and taking into account a wide list of new challenges and risks generated by social reality, directly and indirectly related to the COVID-19 phenomenon. Due to the fact that the pandemic has made it possible to identify both bifurcation points already existing in society and issues that need to be addressed, the authors provide some scientific and practical recommendations for their actualization at the state level.
Transformation of the family resource support system in Russia
Authors:   Irkusk State University, Grabelnykh T.I. , Sablina N.A.
Published: December 2021

This study examined the transformation of the family’s resource supply system, taking into account the educational strategies of its members. It is substantiated that the development of the family as a social institution becomes possible only through the creation of an open system of its resource supply in compliance with the principles of joint activities and gender equality, which ensures the integration of individual functions of the family and higher education. On the issue of women’s access to available resources, including educational ones, the work revealed a social contradiction, when, on the one hand, women retain an active position in the provision of resources to the family, there is equal access with men to information and intellectual resources, on the other hand, there is a limited access of women to power, material and financial resources. In the field of complex analysis and assessment of the family's resource supply, the authors have proposed new indicators of information-technological and educational growth of a social institution: technologies of housekeeping; use of information technologies in the family resource supply system. The conclusion is made about the growing role of modern technologies of public participation, contributing to the improvement of the status of women and strengthening their role in the resource provision of the family by increasing the educational level and status.
Relationship between the motivational and demand sphere of students during the quarantine period and the field of perception of the concepts “Coronavirus”, “Quarantine” and “Self-Isolation” (based on research materials of PNRPU masters)
Authors:   Perm National Research Polytechnic University, Duvanskaya M.K.
Published: December 2021

The article explores the peculiarities of the relationship of motivational and demand sphere with the field of perception of the concept of “coronavirus”, “quarantine”, “self-isolation” in modern society. Their interrelations influence both the formation of a holistic personality and the formation of public opinion. The study is based on the notion that life values are a set of different inherently social attitudes, which under the influence of external social forms of interaction and intrapersonal characteristics are subject to constant modification, which is reflected in the system of perception, as the world as a whole, and in particular at the conceptual, sense-making level. Thus, studying the peculiarities of the relationship of personal value orientations with the field of perception of a particular concept, we can build a dynamic scheme of mutually influential vectors of values, orientations, life priorities, taking into account the specific conceptual perception of the concept under study. The study revealed that the respondents are more characterized by the prevalence of focus on the material situation, spiritual satisfaction, as well as achievement and self-development. These values are manifested in the spheres of professional life, education and family relations. In the field of perception of the highlighted concepts there is a number of significant differences, so the concept of “coronavirus” has a negative value assessment while high subjective importance in the individual personal plan for the person. The concepts of “self-isolation” and “quarantine” are perceived positively in terms of value, while in the subjective, personal plan they carry a negative dynamic for the individual. Thus, the study confirmed that depending on the structure of basic needs, value priorities, which the person holds, we can assume what attitude he will have to the studied concepts, what meaning he will fill them.
Social situation and environment of the legal “left” opposition in the modern Russia (on the material of political parties)
Authors:   Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Kozyrev M.S.
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this study is to determine the social status and environment of the counter-elite groups of the legal left opposition, represented by such political parties as the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and A Just Russia. The study is based on the relationship between social reality and ideology. The latter is not only a cover or justification by certain social groups of their momentary interests (private ideology), but also a reflection of the social position they occupy (total ideology). Some elements of self-positioning of the left legal elite, its social position and environment, attitude to the socio-economic formation existing in modern Russia, as well as a number of other nuances of the social structure of the Russian Federation are determined. In particular, it was established that Party representatives are not associated with the business elite; the desire to increase the number of supporters of left-wing parties should explain the refusal to focus on any particular social class and the active use of national identity (primarily Russians) in their ideological self-positioning; the circle of social contacts of the leaders of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and “Fair Russia” is limited to groups of the bureaucratic and economic elite, as well as the sub-elite “expert” community (they do not enter into direct social contacts with other social groups); the social position of representatives of the two parties of the legal left opposition is generally similar.

Published: December 2021

Study of long term variability of temperature and rainfall in the context of climate change is of much importance particularly in the region where rainfed agriculture is predominant. Long term trends of temperature and rainfall have been investigated over Kolkata, India, a tropical region using gridded monthly precipitation and temperature data obtained from Global Precipitation and Climate Centre (GPCC V7) with 0.5° X 0.5° resolution for the period 1901 to 2014. Precipitation concentration index, coefficient of variation, rainfall anomaly have been calculated and Palmer drought severity index data have been analyzed. Furthermore, Mann-Kendall test and sen’s slope estimator have been used to detect time series trend. Annual temperature and rainfall have been increased with a rate of 0.0082°C/ year and 0.03 mm/ year respectively. Statistically significant increasing trend has been observed for most of the months for temperature and rainfall. Winter and monsoon period shows highest and lowest inter-annual variability respectively. Rainfall with high precipitation concentration index (16-20) has been observed for the period 1951-1975 and 1976-2000. It has been observed that the number of years with dry conditions have been increased. However, the intensity of dryness is very near to zero. The information from this study will be helpful for the farmers to plan for resilient farming.

The aim of this scientific note was to evaluate the influence of the coastal current on the estimation of relative abundance indices for small-scale marine shrimp trawling to indicate the best relative abundance index to be used for stock assessment and conservation. Georeferenced experimental trawls were carried out with standardized equipment and capture time on the coast of Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil. Drags followed convergent and divergent orientations in relation to the flow of the local coastal current. The results showed that the direction of the coastal current flow directly influences the distances and drag shifts, generating variations in the sampling effort and, consequently, bias when using Catch per Unit Effort (CPUE) as a relative abundance index. Conversely, the adoption of Catch per Unit of Swept Area (CPUA) as an index of relative abundance for shrimp trawling becomes more suitable since the variations in the distances of trawl shifts are perceptible through this index.
