The role of consciousness in evolutionary history: An epiphenomenon or a decisive adaptive factor in natural selection
Authors:   Saratov Military Order of Zhukov Red Banner Institute of National Guard Troops, Pronin Konstantin V.
Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the opinion widespread in the scientific community about the decisive adaptive role of consciousness in the process of natural selection. Hypotheses about the functions of consciousness as a central element of the information processing mechanism and the development of a control effect on the behavior of the organism are considered. The conclusion is formulated according to which such functions traditionally ascribed to consciousness, such as coordinating the work of highly specialized “intellectual” subsystems of the brain and providing them with quick access to informational resources of memory, providing second-order intentions and regulating complex behavior, can be successfully implemented by “automatic brains” carrying out processing information coming from outside and forming the most adequate model of behavior exclusively at the “hardware” level. All this may testify in favor of the hypothesis of the epiphenomenal nature of consciousness and the absence of the influence of consciousness on the processes of biological evolution. Certain aspects of this problem are considered from the position of the hypothesis about the possibility of endowing subjective states in general and consciousness, as the most complex form of realizing subjective states, in particular, with the status of a fundamental property of matter, irreducible to any of the already known properties.
Chronohacking: Between a thought experiment and deviations of digital solutions
Authors:   Saratov State University, Tikhonova Sophia V.
Published: March 2022

The article deals with the phenomenon of chronohacking, hacking of time in different modes of digital temporality. The author considers chronohacking as a result of the expansion of biohacking practices of civil science into neuroscience. Methodological basis of the study is the STS paradigm, the working approach is the Laturnian actor-network theory, which allows to fix a variety of networks of actors formed due to various ways of measuring time. Digital temporality is considered as a set of digital chronopolitics, time management modes of various activities in environments formed by digital resources. The epistemic and praxeological possibility of chronohacking, according to the author, is set by two poles, theoretical and technological. The theoretical pole is a thought experiment as a simulation of impossible or unlikely situations. Within the framework of a thought experiment, ideas are accumulated about how social reality changes in the conditions of changes in the basic objective characteristics of time, to what social consequences the difference in the course and direction of time will lead. The technological pole is the development of specific digital resources of the brain training industry used to calibrate the perception of time, somatic training of immersion in a specific temporal context. As a case study of the brain training industry, which includes neurohacking developments, the computer game EndeavorRX is used – a medicinal agent for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The development of this industry itself increases the number of disagreements and new compromises between science, civil science and consumers, an important role in this process is played by “anecdotal evidence” about deviations in the use of neurotechnologies, the epistemic status of which is close to the thought experiment in terms of non-verifiability.

Published: March 2022

Since independence, the discovery of oil, and the beginning of its rapid development, the United Arab Emirates has looked to developed countries as its models for public administration, including its public healthcare system. Despite being a very young country and having established its healthcare system fairly recently in history, the UAE has one of the most advanced public health systems in the Gulf region. Additionally, it has pursued an effective, progressive, and prevention-focused COVID-19 response and expanded healthcare facilities and coverage to reach a greater portion of its population. However, it also has unique national challenges and those it shares with other countries in the Gulf region. This fact sheet seeks to remedy the dearth of comprehensive resources outlining the current state and future trends of healthcare in the UAE.
Adult Education in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Dingus David , Bašić Amina
Published: March 2022

Adult education plays a critical role in a country’s economic development, but very little information on the sector is available in the UAE. To address this gap, we conducted a landscape review of the key adult education regulators in the country to understand the existing situation and identify challenges and make recommendations for the sector going forward. Using publicly available information, we found a complex system of regulators that lack transparency in roles, processes, and criteria, with some information contradicting public information available elsewhere. To address these challenges, we suggest immediate steps be taken to update and standardize regulator websites across the country and create a centralized portal for all adult education regulators and providers with a dashboard of key indicators. This can be further supported by developing a national adult education strategy and conducting a needs assessment to adopt a more inclusive approach, to TVET in particular, and a greater focus on quality provision. Finally, we emphasize the importance of greater collaboration between the regulators as well as the private sector across the country. Together, we hope these recommendations will lead to a more efficient adult education sector that aligns with market demands and supports the continued growth and development of the nation.
GAME LOCALIZATION: LEXICAL, CONTEXTUAL, GRAMMATICAL OBSTACLES AND THE STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME THEM
Authors: Matuzkova O. P. , Yemets M. A.
Published: March 2022

The given article deals with the study of game localization as a new professional sphere and a new branch in translation, as well as with the peculiarities of translators’ and localizers’ work in it, their problems, principles and strategies. The purpose, objectives and methodological basis of the study determined a set of general scientific methods and operations, namely: observation, induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, taxonomy and modelling for theoretical understanding, generalization, classification and description of the structure and content of the phenomenon. Special linguistic methods were also used: descriptive, structural (distributive, contextual, transformational analysis, etc.), functional, contextual-interpretative methods. Games have gone a long way from the first and most basic kinds, involved in ritual activities many centuries ago, to the level of the modern ever-changing game industry which now makes up the biggest part in the entertainment software industry owing to its massive influence, popularity and financial success all around the world as well as in Ukraine. Localization industry, which has been developing since the middle of the XX century, contributed to this success, allowing game studios and their publishers to find their customers not only in the USA and Japan but almost everywhere. Despite its importance as one of key processes in content production, localization hasn’t been studied enough and only now is receiving the scientific attention that it deserves and the due recognition as a distinct and multifaceted branch, integrally related to and based on translation. The main localization lexical and context-grammatical obstacles were studied: proper names, in-game realia and terminology, intertextuality, variables, keys and pieces of code, spatial limitations, contextual limitations due to indirect and mediated communications, the form of presenting the assets to be localized and the tight deadlines.
Mass media title in the focus of linguistic analysis
Authors: Lakomska Inna
Published: March 2022

The scientists recognize the mass media’s influential dominant to be its core feature and this is why the linguistic component within the mass media structure acquires double suggestivity, considering the inherent influential nature of the language itself. Given this, researching the modern Ukrainian mass media language, especially newspapers language, gained extra significance today. Studying the influential aspect of utilizing the newspaper headers has just begun, which emphasizes the relevance of the research.The article examines the specifics of the media headline as an important communicative unit, as well as analyzes the traditional and modern views of scientists on the properties and functions of the media title. Based on the achievements of neurolinguistic programming, the mechanism of influence (suggestion) at the level of the newspaper headline is revealed, in particular, the emphasis is on the three stages of the suggestion. The study emphasizes that a successful and effective headline is the semantic "core" of the message, a psycho-emotional "irritant", as well as an associative core, which forms the appropriate attitude or mood of the reader.The research defines the media titles main functions, focusing on the impact effect, which is implemented with interest, amusement and keeping the reader's attention; crucial information emphasising, i.e. "logical stress"; the function of satire and humour creation; author's assessment expression; figurative and emotional expressiveness, as well as optimization of the recipient's associative thinking and creation of aesthetic pleasure while percepting the message.The prospect of further studies may be the titles of online publications, which will expand the array of research material.
«DARKNESS» AND «EMPTINESS» OF THE SUBJECT. COMPARATIVE ANALYSES OF «MYSTICAL THEOLOGY» AND «THE HEART SUTRA»

This article is the result of a compare analyses of the treatise by Pseudo- Dionysius the Areopagite «Mystical Theology» and one of the central sutras of the Mahayana’s tradition «The Heart Sutra». This article has the following objectives: firstly, to conduct a comparative analysis of two fundamental texts, in which displayed the central categories of each tradition. Special attention was paid to negative notions and also to concepts that maximally generalize and express denials. These primarily «the darkness» by Pseudo-Denys and «the emptiness» by the author of Heart Sutra. Secondly, to explain of the patterns identified during the research. According to the author, modern scientific studies devote low attention to the problem of interpretations of irrational categories. However, these categories are used in a rational discourse, often without hermeneutic strategies. An analyses of the modern thematic literatures to show the absence of a single consensus when addressing to issues related to the categorical apparatus of mystical-religious traditions.Their semantic content is often explained by the influence of the previous tradition, by the dominant culture and chronological relevance. According to the author opinion, there are fundamental similarities and background content of some categories, which are used in different traditions. Originality: Firstly, in the approach itself – the text considered in the article where not previously compared. Secondly, as a result of comparing the main categorical apparatus of the texts manifest consisted pattern of content, methods of presentation and structure of both treatises themselves and categories under consideration. Thirdly, the article offers an interpretation of the revealed patterns in the context of the consequence of the autodeanthropomorfization.The studied treatises have some coincidences are observed at the level of organization of the text, as well as pattern consisting in a consistent “unfolding” of a content from a central negative category, which, in turn is a category symbolizing the state of the subject outside of the self-creating experience.

Authors: Gupta Raju , . Sanjay-Swami , Kumar Rakesh , Sharma Pawan Kumar , Jamwal Sudhir
Published: March 2022

Background: Intercropping with non-exploited crops is an emerging trend due to their adoptability to changing climatic conditions. There is a considerable scope to bring large area of Bulandshahr region, Uttar Pradesh under linseed through intercropping. The success of intercropping depends mainly on the use compatible crops and their suitable row proportion. The continuous application of inorganic fertilizers even in the balanced form may not sustain soil fertility and productivity. The aim of the present study is to find out the possibility of increasing the production of cereal and oilseeds through intercropping by adopting appropriate spatial arrangement of crops and nutrient management. Methods: A field experiment was conducted at Bulandshahr (U.P.) on sandy loam soil for two consecutive years in split plot design with three replication having five main plot treatments (crop geometry) viz., sole wheat, sole linseed, wheat + linseed (1:1), wheat + linseed (2:1), wheat + linseed (4:1) and four sub plot treatments (fertility levels) viz., 5 t FYM/ha, 50% RD of NPK, 75% RD of NPK and 100% RD of NPK. Result: The results revealed that the plant height at maturity, yields, harvest index, wheat equivalent yield (q/ha), uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in grains and straw in wheat were significantly superior in sole wheat followed by wheat + linseed intercropping with 4:1 ratio. Likewise, fertility level of 100% NPK resulted into higher values of above mentioned parameters than their respective counterparts.

Abstract:In view the paucity of any consolidated attempt to review the literature on commercially available probiotic products for wellbeing and overall development of mankind, livestock and fishery, present review is conducted. The first evidence of health benefits of probiotics emerged when a report was published by Eli Metchnikoff (1908). Since then several studies have demonstrated that the probiotics have become an essential element in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Nowadays, wide variety of food, dairy products, beverages, livestock and fish feeds and supplements, infant formulas, dietary supplements, wellness products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc. containing probiotics are available in the market. Consumption of such products is associated with their authenticated efficacy in modulation of the gut microbiota leading to improvement of immune system, reduction of serum cholesterol, prevention of cancer, treatment of irritable bowel-associated diarrhoeas, antihypertensive effects as well as improvement of lactose metabolism. The regular feeding of probiotic strains, both individual and combined, may shows greater effect on absorption and utilization of feed, daily increase of body weight and total body weight of livestock. Likewise, feeding of probiotics helps fish to absorb more nutrients, improve their feed utilization efficiency, as well as to digest them better and faster compared to their regular feeds. Evidence on feeding of probiotics resulted in improved quantity and quality of milk, meat and eggs are available.

Eucalyptus grandis plantations are of great importance, from a social point of view due to their great commercial value, and from an ecological point of view because they are capable of harboring a certain biodiversity of species. The leaf area index (LAI) is an important indicator to measure the health of these plantations related to productivity. The objective of this research is to estimate the LAI from Sentinel images in Eucalyptus grandis plantations. Sentinel satellite images were used to estimate the LAI in the plantations, later the statistical analyzes were carried out by means of a comparison of independent means. Values ​​were obtained as the mean that was 2.0 of the leaf area index in the plantations, these results were very similar to those obtained in other investigations carried out in the field. Therefore, it is recommended to use this methodology in other types of plantations, since it can be used to be applied in other equations to calculate the potential yield of crops.
Éster de aceite de palma (Elaeis guineensis) como aditivo deshidratante de crudos
Authors: Vega-Mejía Rubén Darío , Jiménez-Marcano José Gregorio
Published: March 2022

Un aditivo deshidratante actúa rompiendo la emulsión del agua contenida en el crudo, haciendo que las gotas se junten, aumenten su tamaño y por gravedad caigan, ocurriendo así la separación. Los ésteres han sido propuestos para tal fin, por lo que el presente trabajo evaluó el uso de éster de aceite de palma (Elaeis guineensis) como posible deshidratante de crudos. La investigación inició con la obtención de un biodiesel el cual seguidamente fue glucosidado para producir el éster, a ambos se les conocieron sus composiciones mediante la aplicación de una espectroscopia de infrarrojo (IR), demostrando solo diferencias entre ambos en el lapso de 3100 y 3700 cm-1 debido a la glucosa. Se caracterizó una muestra de crudo, resultando ser de tipo mediano de acuerdo a lo establecido por el American Petroleum Institute (API), además presentó un porcentaje (%) de agua y sedimentos de dos. Posteriormente, se formuló el producto deshidratante al adicionarle al éster glucosidado Xileno (90% Xileno-10% del éster). Se prepararon tres concentraciones (100, 200 y 300 ppm) y se procedió a realizar la prueba de la botella, obteniéndose resultados satisfactorios debido a que el aditivo logró romper la emulsión e hizo coalescer toda el agua contenida en el crudo a la menor concentración (100 ppm) en un tiempo de 60 min. Al aplicar una prueba no paramétrica de Fredman (α=0,05) se demostró que no existen diferencias estadísticas significativas entre el deshidratante propuesto y uno comercial. Se concluyó que el producto es eficiente para el uso requerido.

Hamilelikte sigara kullanımı hem anne hem de bebeğin sağılığını etkilediğinden hamilelikte sigara bırakma önemli bir sağlık davranışı olup sağlık psikolojisinin de önemli konularından biridir. Bu makalenin amacı, hamilelikte sigara bırakma davranışını “sağlık davranış kuramları” çerçevesinde ele alan betimsel çalışmaların ve bu konuda 2000 yılından sonra yürütülmüş kuram temelli müdahale çalışmalarının gözden geçirilmesidir. Bu amaçla çeşitli veri tabanları Şubat-Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında “gebelerde/hamilerde sigara bırakma”, “sağlık davranış modelleri”, “teori temelli müdahaleler” anahtar kelimeleri ile taranmıştır. Bu kapsamda konuyla ilgili yaklaşık 70 makaleye erişilmiş ancak kuram temelli müdahaleler kapsamında sadece 9 çalışma değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Ulaşılan çalışmaların sosyal bilişsel kuram, planlı davranış teorisi ve transteoretik model kapsamında ele alındığı ve hamilelerde sigarayı bırakma niyetinin önemli yordayıcısının kuramlar üstü bir kavram olan öz-etkinlik olduğu görülmüştür. Konuyla ilgili yürütülen kuram temelli müdahalelerin etkililiklerine dair net bulgulardan bahsetmek zor olsa da, çalışmalar değişim evrelerine uygun müdahalelerin destekleyici olabileceğine işaret etmiştir.

The aim of the research. To create a technology for early diagnosis of hypoxic brain damage in full-term newborns. Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of birth histories and cytokine levels in 89 newborns in 2017-2020 was carried out at the premises of perinatal centres in Chita. A total of two study groups were outlined: group 1 included 39 newborns with chronic hypoxia; group 2 included 50 newborns with birth asphyxia. The levels of interleukins (IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10), TNF-α and NSE in the of umbilical cord blood serum were measured via the immunoenzymatic method. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using the IBM SPSS Statistics Version 25.0 soft ware package (International Business Machines Corporation, USA). Results. The structure of the trained neural network included 6 input neurons refl ecting the level of relevant interleukins (IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6 and IL-8) and the Apgar score at the end of the first and fifth minutes. The percentage of incorrect predictions of the obtained neural network was 17.4 %. Conclusion. A complex approach based on integration of the Apgar score at the end of the first and fifth minutes of life and the level of the cytokines IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6 and IL-8 in umbilical cord blood in the structure of the neural network allows the diagnosis of hypoxic brain damage development with an accuracy of 82.6 %. Application of this technology in clinical practice will make it possible to timely diagnose the pathology of the central nervous system and reduce the frequency of adverse neurological outcomes.

The aim of the research. To develop a method for evaluation of dental implant placement accuracy using surgical navigation templates created with application of digital technologies. Material and methods. The clinical study enrolled 11 patients (5 male and 6 female) with partial tooth loss. Prosthetic treatment of the patients was performed using 15 implants manufactured by the additive method and installed using navigational surgical templates. In a computer program that we developed (certificate of state registration of computer program No. 2021665044, 17.09.2021), images of the planned position of the implants were superimposed over images of the actually installed implants with subsequent measurement of linear deviations in the area of the apical and the coronal portions of the implants as well as angular deviations between the long axes of the implants. Results. The mean angular deviation in the sagittal plane between the planned position of the implants and the ones installed in the oral cavity was 4.453 ± 2.554°. Mean linear deviation was 1.713 ± 0.7506 mm in the apical portion of the implant and 1.499 ± 0.9248 mm in the coronal portion. Conclusion. During this study, deviations were found in the position of implants after surgery, which indicates the existence of certain errors in the method of using navigational surgical templates. The computer program we have proposed makes it possible to evaluate the accuracy of dental implant placement by measuring linear and angular deviations between their planned and actual position aft er surgery.

The current study analyses the extent to which stakeholders have been involved in policy planning of language in South African Education system to develop a conceptual model of stakeholder mobilisation for language policy planning in education. This is in the light of literature, indicating inadequate stakeholder consultation in the planning of language policy for teaching and learning in both the basic and higher education sectors. Sources consulted in this problematic subject include language policy documents, databases, newspapers and journals to find the latest developments for the past 10 years, cognisance of transformations and policy changes. One significant finding is inadequate stakeholder consultation. One notable argument in literature is that students are neither proficient in the second language nor in their mother languages. However, major barriers to proficiency include negative attitude towards indigenous languages, a lack of equivalence of lexicon between English and indigenous languages, inadequate expertise in languages, as well as systematisation and implementation of policy. A conceptual model of stakeholder mobilisation for language policy planning that seeks to influence positive attitudes towards languages of teaching and learning is thus developed.

Les forêts anciennes et matures constituent aujourd’hui en Europe occidentale les forêts les plus proches de la forêt dite primaire. Leurs attributs leur confèrent un fort potentiel d’accueil de biodiversité, particulièrement saproxylique. Depuis une quinzaine d’années, elles font l’objet d’inventaires, d’évaluations ou de cartographies sur une grande partie du territoire métropolitain. De nombreux projets sont en cours ou émergent, portés par diverses structures (parcs nationaux ou régionaux, réserves naturelles, Office national des forêts, conservatoires d’espaces naturels, conservatoires botaniques…). Les protocoles varient d’un projet à l’autre mais certains attributs sont relevés de façon quasi systématique. Les objectifs affichés diffèrent mais sont axés autour de quelques grands thèmes : prise en compte des forêts anciennes et matures dans les chartes ou les plans de gestion des aires protégées, dans les documents de gestion durable, dans l’élaboration de trames de vieux bois pertinentes, dans des projets de recherche visant à améliorer la connaissance de leur biodiversité ou de leur fonctionnement, dans des actions de communication et de sensibilisation en faveur de leur préservation.
Le rewilding pour tendre vers la pleine naturalité
Authors: Rayé Gilles
Published: March 2022

Au cours du réchauffement holocène, la dynamique forestière est affectée par l’absence de la mégafaune éliminée au Pléistocène. Plus tard, la déforestation d’origine anthropique atteint son apogée en France au XIXe siècle. Avec l’exode rural, des forêts férales pleines de naturalité se mettent en place par libre évolution sur d’anciennes terres agricoles. Le phénomène est bien marqué dans les massifs montagneux. En France, dès les années 1950, des réintroductions d’espèces vont permettre de restaurer des fonctions écologiques. Le rewilding, un mix de libre évolution, de réintroductions d’espèces et d’ingénierie écologique constitue la voie à privilégier pour remettre en fonctionnement les écosystèmes et lutter contre la sixième extinction des espèces. Le parc naturel régional du Vercors a montré l'exemple pour retrouver la pleine naturalité grâce à des espaces en libre évolution et de multiples réintroductions qui ont permis de restaurer des fonctions écologiques.

Introduction. The research is topical due to the need for fundamental reforms in the field of educational management. The problem of acquiring innovative competencies by the students arises against the background of the continual transformation of social relations. Future specialists who are currently students of higher educational institutions (HEIs) must meet all socio-economic challenges in the future. Methods: an adapted questionnaire was used to assess the level of skills in students of pedagogical HEIs and the method of diagnosis of the individual measure of reflexivity, the Rokeach Value Survey; methods of data collection and coordination, statistical and mathematical processing of results through Pearson’s formulas. Results: In the experimental and control groups, 7.6% of respondents have a low level, 82.6% — a medium level, and 9.8% — a high level. The experimental group (45%) showed a higher level of high reflexivity results than the control group (30%). Conclusion: Based on the processing of the obtained results, it is concluded that the development of innovative competencies in students of pedagogical HEIs after the application of pedagogical conditions increases quantitatively. Prospects: further research should be aimed at identifying key relevant innovation competencies.

For the Muslim community, guidelines regarding marriage are contained in the Qur'an, hadith, positive law, and Urf. In practice, people still use traditions in carrying out marriages, one of which is Mbarep Telon, meaning that the marriage is carried out by the prospective bride and groom who are both the first child and one of the parents is also the first child. The focus taken from this research is related, first, how to find out 'urf against the practice of prohibiting mbarep telon marriages in Tawun Ngawi Village? Second, how do we 'urf against the tradition of slametan redeeming children as a rejection of balance in the ban on mbarep telon marriages in Tawun Ngawi Village? This research uses ushul fiqh approach with qualitative research type and uses interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Based on this research, it can be said that, First, the practice of prohibiting mbarep telon marriage meets the requirements accepted by 'urf as a source of law and is included in 'urf sahih because in this custom it is as a caution in determining a partner. Second, that the slametan tradition of redeeming children as a rejection of balance in the prohibition of mbarep telon marriage is included in 'urf typical, 'urf fi'li, and 'urf sahih.

Bagi masyarakat muslim, pedoman mengenai perkawinan termaktub dalam Alquran, hadits, hukum positif, serta Urf. Dalam praktiknya, masyarakat masih menggunakan tradisi dalam melaksanakan perkawinan, salah satunya Mbarep Telon, artinya pernikahan dilakukan oleh calon mempelai yang keduanya adalah anak pertama dan salah satu orangtuanya juga anak pertama. Fokus yang diambil dari penelitian ini yaitu terkait, pertama, bagaimana tinjauan ‘urf terhadap praktik larangan nikah mbarep telon di Desa Tawun Ngawi?

Background: Since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in Rwanda, a vast amount of SARS-COV-2/COVID-19-related data have been collected including COVID-19 testing and hospital routine care data. Unfortunately, those data are fragmented in silos with different data structures or formats and cannot be used to improve understanding of the disease, monitor its progress, and generate evidence to guide prevention measures. The objective of this project is to leverage the artificial intelligence (AI) and data science techniques in harmonizing datasets to support Rwandan government needs in monitoring and predicting the COVID-19 burden, including the hospital admissions and overall infection rates.Methods: The project will gather the existing data including hospital electronic health records (EHRs), the COVID-19 testing data and will link with longitudinal data from community surveys. The open-source tools from Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) will be used to harmonize hospital EHRs through the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model (CDM). The project will also leverage other OHDSI tools for data analytics and network integration, as well as R Studio and Python. The network will include up to 15 health facilities in Rwanda, whose EHR data will be harmonized to OMOP CDM.Expected results: This study will yield a technical infrastructure where the 15 participating hospitals and health centres will have EHR data in OMOP CDM format on a local Mac Mini (“data node”), together with a set of OHDSI open-source tools. A central server, or portal, will contain a data catalogue of participating sites, as well as the OHDSI tools that are used to define and manage distributed studies. The central server will also integrate the information from the national Covid-19 registry, as well as the results of the community surveys. The ultimate project outcome is the dynamic prediction modelling for COVID-19 pandemic in Rwanda.Discussion: The project is the first on the African continent leveraging AI and implementation of an OMOP CDM based federated data network for data harmonization. Such infrastructure is scalable for other pandemics monitoring, outcomes predictions, and tailored response planning.

Assessing and improving the quality of Fortran code in scientific software: FortranAnalyser
Authors: García-Rodríguez Michael , Añel Juan A. , Rodeiro-Iglesias Javier
Published: March 2022

Scientific software often presents shortcomings when performing a static evaluation of the code. Moreover, a significant amount of this software is written in Fortran. However, only a few software tools analyse Fortran code, and they are not free software. Here we introduce FortranAnalyser, a multi-platform static analysis tool that generates a report helping to improve Fortran code quality. We explain its development cycle and main features and compare it to other existing tools. Also, we provide examples of application to codes from different scientific fields, with a particular case study of the process followed to improve one of the most used global climate models.
