Uma dobra na fantasia
Authors: Martinez Lis Yana de Lima , Pereira Duarte Páscoa Maria
Published: November 2023

Neste texto, acolhemos e analisamos o romance Uma dobra no tempo (1962), da escritora norte-americana Madeleine L’Engle, cujo enredo explora abundantes ligações entre o científico, o mágico e o espiritual sendo classificado como fantasia-científica infanto-juvenil. Nessa primeira obra de um quinteto, a narrativa revolve em torno de uma menina adolescente que está lidando com questões de autoestima e aceitação, e que, junto com seu irmão mais novo, Charles Wallace, e o menino mais velho da escola, Calvin O’Keef, parte em busca de seu pai em uma aventura através do espaço e do tempo pelo universo. Nosso intento analítico é compreender a protagonista em sua jornada pessoal e como ela pode refletir e refratar outras personagens femininas de histórias anteriores. Em um percurso que visa tecer potenciais conexões intertextuais com outras obras da literatura fantástica, analisamos o protagonismo dentro do gênero de fantasia, particularmente, o feminino na figura de Meg, heroína da narrativa escolhida, buscando-se apontar suas ressonâncias e dissonâncias referentes às expectativas de um papel narrativo moldado em sua origem pela figura masculina, mas que conta com resistentes e significativas presenças femininas ao longo do tempo. Para isso, trazemos entre nosso aporte teórico, autores que versam sobre a figura da heroína, tais como Terri Frontgia (1991), Valerie Frankel (2010), e Maureen Murdock (1990), bem como estudiosos que tratam sobre as problemáticas de gênero e suas implicações simbólicas dentro da narrativa, a saber Farah Mendlesohn (2008), Brian Attebery (2004), Betty Kay Seibt (1988) e Elizabeth Dowling e W. George Scarlett (2006).

Authors: Wójta-Kempa Monika , Skawina Anna , Płatek Daniel , Jarynowski Andrzej , Skawina Ireneusz , Belik Vitaly
Published: November 2023

Introduction. This study examines the relationship between social values and the control of the COVID-19 pandemic in selected European countries during the early months of 2020.

Methods. Utilizing epidemiological data, including starting and controlled reproduction rates (R(t)), and social values' dimensions based on Schwartz's framework, we uncover significant associations by linear regressions.

Results. Our findings reveal that highly hierarchical societies with a strong focus on maximising individual utility (affective autonomy) are less successful in controlling the spread of the virus. Conversely, societies with interconnected (embedded) structures appear to be more effective in disease control. Our discussion acknowledges the complexity of distinguishing between natural disease patterns and control efforts. Interactive dashboard is available: https://infodemia-koronawirusa.shinyapps.io/culture/

Conclusions. This study underscores the substantial influence of social values on disease control in Europe. It emphasises the need to consider social contexts when evaluating the effectiveness of mitigation strategies on an international scale. While recognising the potential role of confounding variables such as healthcare capacity, our research suggests that analysing outbreak dynamics across countries can provide insights into not only why some nations fare better but also how to combat future disease spread effectively.
Grain and food security as a tool of biopolitics: real-time Internet monitoring and crisis management
Authors: Jarynowski Andrzej , Jędrzejczyk Kamila , Maksymowicz Stanisław
Published: November 2023

Introduction and Methods. The aim of this study was to perform real-time monitoring of the interest on the Internet in topics related to "food security," "poisoned grain," and "pesticides" in central-eastern (CE) Europe (mainly Poland) in April 2023, with a focus on crisis management in context of food and information security. The article explores the phases of media coverage during the climax period and identifies the involvement of right/left-wing, mainstream, and Kremlin propaganda narratives.

Results.We differentiate the following phases of the interest: 1) farmers protests in CE Europe; 2) a peak phase with mainstream media attention on April 14, characterised by negative sentiment; 3) mixed right-left phase with high traffic and small reach; 4) a commenting phase with traditional media engagement from April 17; and finally, 5) a Kremlin propaganda phase targeting the internal market on April 18-19, with limited impact on the Polish infosphere, but entering Bulgaria and Romania's infosphere.

Conclusions. The success of the misinformation campaign is highlighted in the context of food security. The study suggests that the Kremlin aims to exploit existing problems and conflicts to generate disputes between Poland, Ukraine, and the EU. The role of other internal and external forces in affecting the information landscape is considered. Overall, this study aims to provide insights into handling misinformation and crisis management in the domain of food security.

Сучасні тенденції розвитку індустрії круїзного туризму в умовах викликів і загроз
Authors: Пешук Л. , Приходько Д.
Published: November 2023

За останнє десятиріччя круїзна індустрія стала однією з найбільш швидко зростаючих галузей туризму, що привертає все більше уваги пасажирів. Завдяки комфортабельності суден, обслуговуванню туристів, надання різноманітних послуг щодо досугу і гнучкості та доступності вибору страв, високих стандартах сервісу та індивідуальному підході до кожного туриста, круїзний туризм відкриває незабутні можливості як для подорожей, так і для відпочинку. Круїз на сьогодні є одним з найбільш швидкозростаючих секторів ринку туристичних послуг, на що впливає постійне удосконалення конструкції пасажирських суден, підвищення їх комфортабельності, розробка нових маршрутів та покращення обслуговування на борту лайнера. Для України круїзний туризм є новою альтернативою туристичної індустрії. З огляду на морську та річкову акваторію, Україна має високий потенціал організації індустрії, як для внутрішнього, так і зовнішнього ринку. Проте війна, закриття портів, недостатнє фінансування галузі, призупиняють розвиток даного виду туризму та модернізацію необхідної інфраструктури. На сьогодні світова індустрія круїзного туризму відновлює наслідки пандемії COVID-19, будуючи стратегії подальшого розвитку в умовах значних втрат. Саме тому виявлення основних криз та аналіз методів їх усунення є першочерговим завданням, для якісного функціонування круїзної індустрії в постковідних умовах.

The flow and fracture of Antarctic Ice Shelves
Authors:   , Millstein Joanna D.
Published: November 2023

This thesis explores the deformation of glacier ice, with an aim of deriving insights into its flow and fracture through satellite remote sensing methods. Glaciers deform through the driving force of their own weight and display dramatic responses to both external forcing, such as changes in climate, and internal forcing like variations in stress. Here, we focus on Antarctic ice shelves, the fast-flowing extensions of the ice sheet that impart stabilizing resistive stresses onto the grounded area. Processes contributing to dynamic change through melting, calving, the flow and fracture ice, can be explored and quantified with expirical relationships derived from mechanical properties. To understand the stability and future projections of glaciers and ice sheets in a changing climate, it is critical that we quantify and calibrate these processes. In Chapter 2, we leverage modern satellite remote sensing products to gain new insights into the flow of glacier ice. We validate and calibrate the constitutive relation for glacier ice across Antarctic ice shelves using a simple relationship between ice thickness and surface strain rate data. We find that the constitutive relation should employ an exponent n = 4, in contrast to the commonly used n = 3. This finding implies that ice shelves are more sensitive to changes in the stress state than typically assumed. Next, in Chapter 3 we derive a spatiotemporally dense dataset of surface strain rate fields across the Brunt Ice Shelf, the site of active full-thickness fractures, known as rifts. This dataset provides a mechanical framework with which we can analyze dynamic change, allowing us to quantify surface deformation with radar remote sensing. Lastly, Chapter 4 presents a fatigue-crack growth model for active rifts. This empirical framework sets bounds on rift propagation rates over periods of weeks and months and, in doing so, presents a simple parameterization of rift growth rates that can be implemented using observational data. This work provides a promising method to resolve fracture evolution over the period of weeks to years. Ultimately, this thesis uses observational data to validate theoretical models of glacier change, advancing our grasp on the dynamics of Antarctic ice shelves.
From the atmosphere to the abyss: tracing organic carbon deposition, cadmium isotopes, and iron cycling using marine
Authors:   , Tegler Logan
Published: November 2023

The marine biological pump refers to the formation and subsequent export of particulate organic carbon from the sunlit zone to the ocean’s interior. The magnitude and attenuation of this flux exert an important control over the air–sea balance of carbon dioxide. This thesis is focused on constraining this flux, the factors that control it, and developing novel tracers for it. First, I evaluate Holocene carbon depositional fluxes in margin sediment and shed light on seafloor OC deposition. I find that margins host 19.4 T mol yr-1 of marine OC and, contrary to the current paradigm, less than 4 % of the OC is buried in low-oxygen environments. However, in order to understand how the efficiency of the biological pump may have changed over time, it is necessary to use proxies. In Chapter 3, I examine cadmium isotopes as a potential paleonutrient proxy. I suggest that in addition to biological uptake, Cd isotopes may be influenced by local redox conditions, remineralization, and external Cd additions. In chapter 4, I measure Cd isotopes in the Mt. McRae shale (2.5 Ga) that was deposited across a purported ‘whiff’ of oxygen that is believed to reflect the onset of oxygenic photosynthesis. I find that the Cd isotopes are invariant and light during the ‘whiff’ interval. Rather than reflecting no changes in nutrient cycling, I suggest these compositions reflect a source–sink balance between Cd-depleted surface waters and external Cd inputs. Finally, in Chapter 5, we redirect our attention to the Fe cycle. Iron is a limiting nutrient in many ocean regions, which limits the efficiency of the biological pump. We use iron isotopes and Q-mode factor analysis to identify five sources of iron to sites in the South Pacific and Southern Oceans, including: dust, a ligand-bound background source, volcanic ash, and two hydrothermal sources. Taken together, this thesis examines elemental interactions and spans temporal scales, from ancient epochs to the modern era. While we leverage trace elements as proxies of past marine biogeochemical cycles, we also stress that careful work is needed to apply and analyze them.
Exploring circadian rhythms, food intake, and their interactions in marine invertebrates
Authors:   , Berger Cory A.
Published: November 2023

Circadian rhythms and energy metabolism are critical and interconnected components of animal physiology. Metabolic inputs like time of feeding modulate circadian clocks and behavioral and molecular rhythms. In turn, circadian clocks regulate metabolic processes, allowing animals to optimize energy usage on daily timescales. On longer timescales, animals require physiological responses to tolerate variation in food availability. Most of our mechanistic knowledge of these processes comes from terrestrial mammals and insects, while there are major knowledge gaps for marine invertebrates. My dissertation focuses on the interactions of circadian rhythms and metabolism in three marine invertebrate systems using a combination of behavioral, molecular, and bioinformatic approaches. In Chapter 2, to understand how sensory signals are integrated into circadian clocks, I test the effects of various light and temperature regimes on circadian rhythms in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. Misaligned light and temperature cycles severely disrupt behavioral rhythms and substantially alter the rhythmic transcriptome, particularly the expression of genes mediating metabolic processes. This illustrates how interactions between environmental cues shape circadian behavior and physiology. In Chapter 3, I develop a high-throughput behavioral system to study diel vertical migration (DVM) in the copepod Acartia tonsa. DVM is driven by tradeoffs related to food availability, but we do not fully understand how food availability affects this circadian process. Using high-resolution tracking software, I find that Acartia possesses group-level DVM-like circadian rhythms in the lab, and that these swimming rhythms are altered by time-restricted feeding. This illustrates that food availability can impact DVM via effects on circadian clocks. In Chapter 4, I analyze how polar copepods respond to starvation at the molecular level. I find that two species with distinct dietary strategies partially share a genetic toolkit to respond to starvation, whereas differences in their starvation responses may reflect different modes of lipid storage. I also use evolutionary analyses to show that starvation response genes are under selective constraint, underlining their importance to organismal fitness. In aggregate, this thesis provides insights into the circadian rhythms of marine organisms, explores how metabolism modulates circadian rhythms, and sheds lights on the physiological consequences of food availability in zooplankton.

Briefing: How might civil engineering history be used?
Authors: Birch Felix
Published: November 2023

To perform relevant and useful studies, civil engineering historians often treat structures and the discipline itself as isolated objects. This style informs conservation and current practice, but it does not provide systemic reflection on how the discipline emerged. Identifying implicit themes in the works of established civil engineering historians suggests a new perspective that moves beyond technical or biographical accounts. Such reflection reveals how practices are formed and continue to change outside of solely quantified or technical influences. Critical enquiries like this are required of a profession whose choices have profound impacts on the built environment.
Optimizing composition and application conditions of agents for modifying spectral characteristics of diamonds in X-ray luminescence separation

Published: November 2023

One of the research areas focused on improving the efficiency of diamond-bearing kimberlite beneficiation processes involves the utilization of technology aimed at enhancing the recovery of weakly and anomalously luminescent diamonds during the X-ray luminescence separation process using luminophore-containing chemical agents. The objective of this research was to select the optimal composition of agents that modify the spectral characteristics of minerals and the conditions for their application. A crucial factor for process efficiency is the effective attachment of modifying agents to diamond crystals while avoiding similar attachment to kimberlite mineral surfaces. This is achieved through the use of organic collectors with an optimal composition, characterized by their ability to both adhere to the diamond surface and retain inorganic luminophore grains. The evaluation of luminophore attachment efficiency was performed using visiometric analysis in the UV range. The capability of diamonds to retain luminophore collector droplets or films on their surfaces was evaluated using a technique to measure the three-phase limiting wetting angle. The spectral and kinetic characteristics of diamonds and their recovery during the X-ray luminescence separation process were determined using a separator “Polyus-M”. The feasibility of purposefully modifying the spectral characteristics of weakly and anomalously luminescent diamonds through luminophore-containing compositions based on zinc sulfides and zinc orthosilicate has been confirmed through the conducted studies. By considering the criterion of selectivity in the attachment of luminophore emulsion to diamonds and kimberlite minerals, calculated based on the measured surface concentrations of luminophores on the minerals, the optimal ratios between the masses of inorganic luminophore, organic collector, and the aqueous phase of the emulsion were determined. Dispersing agents that offer selective binding of luminophores to diamond crystals were identified, and rational parameters for the composition of the organic collector were established. The temperature range for treating diamond-containing material was defined. As a result of bench testing the modifying agents with the selected composition and conditions for their application in the diamond-containing material treatment cycle before XRF separation, it was confirmed that the recovery of anomalously and weakly luminescent diamonds could exceed 90%, while keeping the yield of kimberlite minerals in the concentrate below 1%.
The Subject of Budgetary Law: From History to Modernity
Authors: Khaitov Grigory
Published: November 2023

The article notes that the legislative consolidation of the content of budgetary legal relations did not solve the problem of determining the subject of budgetary law. At the same time, the deﬁ nition of the subject of budget law remains an important issue, and solution of the trajectory of development of the theory and practice of legal regulation of budgetary activity depends on it. The approaches to deﬁ ne the subject of budget law in domestic science in the pre-Soviet, Soviet and modern periods are analyzed. There is a tendency to expand the subject of legal regulation of modern Russian budget legislation, the author gives examples of legal norms governing relations that go beyond budgetary relations: provisions on a state task, on subsidies to legal entities, on procurement for state (municipal) needs, etc. ... The article indicates that at the present stage, budget legislation for the ﬁ rst time was the legal basis for regulating many public relations directly or indirectly related to budget expenditures, due to which, in lawmaking and law enforcement practice, problems arise associated with the relationship between the norms of budget law and the norms of other branches of law. Along with the indicated tendencies, the author points to the insuﬃ cient regulation of certain areas by the budgetary law, for example, ﬁ nancing of expenditures on social security of the population. In conclusion, the author points out the necessary to renew the scientiﬁ c discussion concerning the deﬁ nition of the subject of legal regulation of budget legislation and the subject of budget law in Russia.
The vegetation history of Lake Gâvur and surrounding areas during the last 4400 years (Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye)
Authors: TOPUZ Muhammet , KARLIOĞLU KILIÇ Nurgül , YILMAZ DAĞDEVİREN Rüya , KARABULUT Murat
Published: November 2023

This study discusses the paleovegetation records of shallow core sediments of Lake Gâvur (Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye), which was dried in the 1970s. A 5 m-long sediment core was obtained with an Eijkelkamp sediment sampler and palynological samples were taken at 10 cm intervals. The sediments were dated by AMS radiocarbon dating of bulk at two levels. Among arboreal pollen (AP) from approximately 4400 cal yr BC, the dominant tree taxa were Pinus, Cedrus, Quercus, and Fraxinus. Initially, AP dominated NAP (non-arboreal pollen) along with the pollen diagram, and AP gradually decreased up to the present. The evaluation of the fossil pollen percentage indicates that in that period arboreal taxa were more widely distributed around the lake than they are in the present. Inferred major causes for the increase of pollen percentage of Poaceae and Asteraceae in the LG-3 (upper) zone of the pollen diagram are anthropogenic impacts.
Eco-City Planning; concepts and contemporary models
Authors: Hülya Coskun
Published: November 2023

This research is specifically centered on the concepts and contemporary models of eco-city planning. In the current era, there is a notable emergence of innovative city models with a focus on addressing climate-related issues. The drive to create new urban forms and models that concentrate global warming and climate challenges has resulted in the development of contemporary and innovative models, prominently exemplified by the eco-city. Previous studies have underscored the technological, socio-economic, and political aspects of eco-cities. While eco-cities are recognized for their highly technologically innovative approaches, the development of new architectural concept considered a crucial aspect of their design. Beyond technological development, there is a significant emphasis on developing an architectural concept that considers climatic adaptation and sustainability features within a holistic approach. Therefore, the importance of crafting a technologically advanced city conducive to eco-city planning dynamics, especially with a sustainable architectural concept, is highlighted and deemed worthy of research exploration. The study delves into different contemporary eco-city models from diverse climatic regions worldwide to examine their architectural concept development challenges. Notable examples on a global scale, such as the Sino-Singaporean Tianjin Eco-city in China, Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates, and the proposed Istanbul Küçükçekmece Eco-city in Türkiye, are scrutinized. The findings of the research underscore the significance of eco-cities in terms of architectural design and the use of sustainable materials for both sustainability and climate adaptation. These models, which align with technological advancements, emerge as sustainable and climate-sensitive city models. They serve as crucial examples in developing a more sustainable architectural model. Ultimately, the research emphasizes that designing a contemporary eco-city that addresses climatic privileges and without an sustainable architectural concept will not yield a sufficiently effective result.

Main Purpose - This study looks into whether transfer pricing, corporate social responsibility, and leverage are factors that motivate companies to undertake tax avoidance of non-financial companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX).Method - The sample consisted of 86 companies that were randomly selected by simple random sampling from 2017 to 2019. A total of 603 data observations consisting of the annual reports of 52 domestic companies and 34 multinational companies were analyzed by use of multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS 21 software.Main Findings – This study implies that the majority of companies consider the practice of tax avoidance to be unethical, the results show that the tier of tax-avoidance practices in companies that are listed on the IDX is very low. On the other hand, transfer pricing, corporate social responsibility, and leverage do not affect tax avoidance since those are not factors that cause companies to avoid taxes.Theory and Practical Implications - Most companies in Indonesia view tax avoidance as unethical even though it is legal. These findings are expected to contribute to regulators in setting tax-avoidance arrangements in Indonesia.Novelty - Compared to other studies, this study examines tax avoidance practices from an ethical perspective.

Main Purpose - This study intends to evaluate the moderating effect of wrongdoer status (close friends or acquaintances) on the link between perceived wrongdoing seriousness and intention to report academic misconductMethod - This research used a 1x2 experimental design between subjects. One hundred eleven participants from three universities were involved in the experiments. Participants were selected using a method of purposive sampling. However, only 106 responses can be analyzed using SMART PLS 4 due to insufficient responses from some participants.Main Findings - The findings indicate that students are more likely to report academic misconduct when they consider it to be more severe. However, if the perpetrator is a close friend, the likelihood of a student reporting academic misconduct is significantly reduced.Theory and Practical Implications – This study has consequences for how colleges respond when students report their friends for academic dishonesty. Students fear that if they report the inappropriate activity of their close friends, they would be left by their friends. Educating students and faculty members on the need of recognizing and reporting academic dishonesty could contribute to the creation of an ethical university culture.Novelty – Prior research has often been descriptive and qualitative, meanwhile, this study applies path analysis to provide empirical evidence specifically in the Indonesian context about the impact of friendship on students' willingness to report academic misconduct.
