Authors: Vicelli Liz
Published: November 2022

The Citizen Science Network for the Amazon (is currently made up of 29 organizations and nine individuals, located in seven countries (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, the United States and France), who collaborate at different levels, generating knowledge about fish and aquatic ecosystems of the Amazon basin. This study provides information on the use and knowledge of information and communication technologies by citizen scientists, as well as the identification of existing gaps and challenges. The results come from the application of surveys addressed to the local partners of the Network, and interviews with citizen scientists, with whom they carry out field work directly. Significant access and connectivity problems were found around the Amazon basin, which are related to the level of use and knowledge of the digital tools studied. In this framework, the challenges faced by both local partners and scientists in the development of their activities were also identified.

Published: November 2022

The phytochemical constituents of Indigofera hirsuta aerial part were assessed for their potential as sources of alternative medicines as well for industrial applications. Qualitative phytochemical screening of the extract revealed the presence of Flavonoids, Steroids, Alkaloids, Tannins, Saponins, Cardiac glycosides and Anthraquinones. Quantitative evaluation of the extract showed their concentrations to be Flavonoids (270.039+0.013 mg/100g), Steroids (9.100±0.007 mg/100g), Alkaloids (59.74±0.014 mg/100g), Tannins (21.66+0.03 mg/100g), Saponins (1.3+0.0001 mg/100g) and Anthraquinones (0.205+0.003 mg/100g). Our study indicated that the plant possessed different phytochemicals that determine its medicinal use. The crude methanolic extract was further tested at various concentrations to check its microbial activity against four bacterial pathogens. The results showed that the crude exhibited activity significantly at all concentrations against three organisms. (Streptococcus pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Shigella dysenteriae). Maximum activity was observed against Streptococcus pneumoniae (12 mm at 200 mg/ml, 11 mm at 100 mg/ml,10 mm at 50 mg/ml and 9 mm at 25 mg/ml). While minimum level of microbial activity was observed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9 mm at 200 mg/ml,8mm at 100 mg/ml,7 mm at 50 mg/ml and 6mm at 25 mg/ml. However, Proteus mirabilis showed no activity). This result suggested the potential use of Indigofera hirsuta for the treatment of diseases caused by bacteria.

The Determinants Of Family Planning Counselors' Stunting Program Objective During Covid-19 A Case Study In East Java
Authors: Saeroji Saeroji , Sudeni Sudeni
Published: November 2022

Out of the 34 provinces, 12 of them in East Java did not achieve the national stunting prevalence target during the Covid-19 pandemic until 2024. The delay in achieving the work goals of family planning counselors (KB) in the stunting program requires concrete steps to overcome existing obstacles. This study aims to identify the problems that determine the goals of the stunting program for family planning counselors and offer solutions so that they can be used as practical references for family planning counselors. This case study research with descriptive design includes three stages: theoretical exploration and case identification, document collection and review, as well as data processing and case study analysis. The first and second stages were obtained from review documents taken from Google Scholar and other eligible sources (Ministry of Health, National Coordination of Family Planning). Then the determinants of the stunting program objectives for family planning counselors were obtained by filtering documents using the PICOT (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Time) model. The results of the PICOT selection show that 7 (n=7) of 29 (n=29) documents were selected with the main determinants of the stunting program being communication, information, education which includes fostering youth, prospective brides, families of toddlers, family companion teams, pregnant women, and collaboration with other health workers.

Gym machines for simulating training of technical movements in curling
Authors: Groshev Vasilij , Bliznevskiy Aleksandr , Soboleva Natalya
Published: November 2022

Curling is a team sports game played on ice. The athletes slide stones one by one toward a marked target area. This is a sport in which the exactness of a throw is the base of technique and one of the main components of a successful play. In sport, technique means the way of making a physical action. Technical preparation is a process of education and improvement of movement skills, serving a mean of sports fighting. For making a throw of a curling stone an athlete has to push himself off a hack and slide in a deep lunge position holding a stone in his hand. In front of the hog line an athlete releases the stone. This paper describes the machines for training the technique of throwing a curling stone. Using empirical research methods we have created and used the machines which were used during the training process at the special preparation stage of the preparation period. A special training roller ground for throwing curling stones was developed. The useful model RU 192760 patent was published on September 30, 2019. The developed equipment allows to do imitative training of movements and technique of curling stones throwing. A training roller ground for a curling player’s boot was designed. The useful model RU 193702 patent was published on November 11, 2019. The conditions for simulating training of exactness of take-off force in curling were created
Estimation of exercise tolerance in bike track racing based on analysis of heart rate variability in athletes of various level of training
Authors: Bakayev Vladislav , Bolotin Alexander
Published: November 2022

Assessment of the tolerance of the training load by cyclists who participate in track races is a significant indicator of the adaptive reactivity of the athletes' bodies. The circulatory system of athletes, during cycling races on the track, is subject to colossal functional loads, both during training work and during competitions. The basis of the training process of female cyclists is adaptation to the effects of physical activity, which has a stimulating effect on the course of adaptive reactions of the organism of female athletes in preparation for the competition. A necessary list of heart rate variability indices has been formed, characterizing the degree of tolerance of the training load by cyclists during preparation for competitions on the track. A procedure has been developed for testing the characteristics of the heart rate variability at rest and during the aftereffect of physical activity on the body of cyclists. The results of the influence of the nervous and hormonal regulation of the heart rate on the fitness state of female cyclists are presented. It has been proven that the main indicator of the fitness level of female cyclists is the synchronization of the influence of the nervous and hormonal components of the regulation of the heart rate. The results obtained allow us to recommend the assessment of the degree of synchronization of the nervous and hormonal components of the regulation of the heart rate as the main indicator of the exercise tolerance of cyclists.

WHAT MAKES A STONE A SIEIDI, OR HOW TO RECOGNIZE A HOLY PLACE?
Authors: Äikäs Tiina
Published: November 2022

A sieidi is an offering site of the Sámi that usually consisted of a wooden object or a stone unmodified by human hand. Because of their natural form they are hard to recognize in the landscape. Usually just one indicator might not be enough to distinguish a sieidi from just another stone. Written sources and oral tradition have preserved memories of the use of sieidi, but not all sieidi sites are still remembered. Sometimes just a place-name has survived. Bones or meat were a common form of offering at a sieidi, and there were rules re- stricting the handling of the bones. Some sources mention that offered bones were not to be broken. Nevertheless, there have been differences in these prac- tices. Also, other finds, including coins, metal objects, and glass, can be recov- ered at various sites. Phosphate analysis is one way to recognize a sieidi when no visual signs of the offerings are left. One or more indicators may survive, telling us about the use of a sieidi.

Published: November 2022

The stones known as cup-marked stones stand out among stones with marks of ancient artificial treatment in north-eastern Europe, as well as in the rest of the world. So far in the literature the view has predominated that the number of cup-marked stones in Latvia is small in comparison with neigh- bouring countries. The history of research on Latvian cup-marked stones is considered and it is shown that in Latvia there are a large number of cup- marked stones. In the light of the latest discoveries, four reliably identified areas of cup-marked stones are plotted in Latvia, eliminating one problematic area.
SPACE, TIME AND FUNCTION. GÓRA CHEŁMSKA NEAR KOSZALIN IN THE MIDDLE AGES
Authors: Kuczkowski Andrzej
Published: November 2022

It is not an object connected with the sacred, but above all the context (na tu -ral and cultural) in which it is found that proves the existence of a space of religious practice. An object deemed a regular, everyday item may once havebeen an element of sacred imagery. Features revealed by archaeological exca-vation may be approached in the same manner. Each of these studied sepa-rately can be regarded as, say, a storage pit, the remains of a house, etc. At thesame time, when related to the general surroundings, a single find may turnout to be part of a greater whole with a clear meaning. Its sacredness is not lim-ited to its form, but corresponds to the sum of all meanings included in it (i.e.its content).
GIANT, DEVIL OR DEATH? THE FINNISH KOLJO IN MYTHOLOGY, TOPONYMS, FOLKLORE AND ARCHAEOLOGY
Authors: Ruohonen Juha
Published: November 2022

As described above, koljoand its variants have several different layers ofmeaning that have remained partly parallel and have partly changed. Ac-cording to the traditional view, the meanings of many terms relating to theancient world of belief changed with the adoption of Christianity to accommodate the needs of the new religion (Koski, 1967, 226). The Finnish koljo, a wordoriginally meaning death and significant terrain features, changed to becomepredominantly a name for a mythical giant, with negative connotations at-tached. In many cases, words signifying the spirit of deceased have later ac-quired a negatively loaded content, now meaning an animal, evil spirit or devil(Mikkola, 1905, 9; see also Krohn, 1914, 249; Tommola, 1955, 27). In the case of theword koljoand its variants, the strong association to the biblical Goliathmighthave contributed to the strength of the negative component of meaning.From the etymological and mythological point of view, places called Koljoare not unusual in their nature. Finnish hiisi-places and Estonian hiis-placesare similar in their connection to giant mythology as well as sacrificial sitesand burials (Koski, 1967, 225–226). Koljoand hiisitoponyms also have a closesimilarity in terms of their reference to topographical features associated withsupranormal beings, and in terms of the stories and other elements. Koljomustalso be attached, at least partially, to the rich tradition and group of namescontaining mythological elements. Names, in particular, have contributed tothe spread of the hiisi tradition. The archaeological finds made on the basis ofa koljo name and its possible derivatives make this word especially interesting.Through these names, the interpretation of places of the hiisi type and othersites with similar characteristics and topographical attributes awaits re-evalua-tion in the near future.
HOLY GROVES IN GERMANIC AND SLAVIC BELIEFS
Authors: Słupecki P. Leszek
Published: November 2022

But what seems to be characteristic of the groves is fear: such places striketerror into the hearts of native worshippers (and even foreigners), a kind ofmisterium tremendum, as described by Rudolf Otto. According to Tacitus (Ger-mania, 39), the grove of Semnons was silva (...) prisca formidine sacra. In thegrove of Nerthus there was arcanus hinc terror sanctanque ignorantia quid sit illud,quod tantum perituri vident (Germania, 40). Adam of Bremen (Adam of Bremen,IV, 27) describes the grove in Uppsala in the following way: Is enim lucus tamsacer est gentilibus, ut singule arbores eius ex morte vel tabo immolatorum divinecredantur.The holy grove appears frequently in written sources as existing since timeimmemorial and never touched by human hands. The Nerthus grove was castum nemus (Germania, 40). The temple in Riedegost undique silva ab incolisintacta et venerabilis circumdat magna(Thietmar, VI, 23: Kronika Thietmara, 1953,245). The holy grove Zutibure, which at the end of the 10th century was cutdown by Wigbert, predecessor of Thietmar of Merseburg on the episcopal seat,is described in his Chronicle as ab accolis ut Deum in omnibus honoratum et ab evoantique nunquam violatum(Thietmar, VI, 38: Kronika Thietmara, 1953, 369).Thus, Zutibure had existed ab evo antiquo, Semnonenhein was so holy be-cause of augura patrumand prisca formido, and the grove of Alcis was a place ofantiquae religionis.A grove is also a place of ritual lasting from time immemorial and giving riseto great fear. The gods are, of course, present in groves. However, they appearthere in a terrifying form, different from the domesticated anthropomorphicform as supernatural companions of humans that they have in temples locatedin the middle of human settlements. In groves they really are supernatural. As Tacitus says, the Germans deorum nominibus appellant secretum illud quosola reverentia videt.
CAVES LĪBIEŠU UPURALAS AT THE RIVER SVĒTUPE: FROM A SANCTUARY TO A TOURISM DESTINATION
Authors: Laime Sandis , Urtāns Juris
Published: November 2022

Caves Lībiešu Upuralas – The Livonian Sacrifice Caves, one of the dominant cultural landscapes on the banks of the River Svētupe is a good example how one and the same place can gain different meanings depending on various groups of the society and various conditions, whereas the interrelation of these meanings and changes throughout time can establish the identity of a specific place. The archaeological materials have proved that local Livonians started to use these caves as sanctuary in the 14th century. In the 16th century when sacrifices in the cave were the most intensive, this place, according to the evidence of written sources and graffiti carved in the walls of the caves, became a sightseeing or tourism site for other nationalities. The analysedmaterial points out to the fact that from the 19th century a sacred space of local significance gradually was turned into one of the country’s tourism destinations, whereas at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century it gained the image of a modern sanctuary, but lost its special significance as a sacred place in the interpretation of the local population.

BIBLICAL MOTIFS IN THE NOVEL “PET SEMATARY” BY STEPHEN KING
Authors: Simsone Bārbala
Published: November 2022

The theme of this article is devoted to the creative works of Stephen King, the living classic of horror literature. Biblical motifs frequently play a significant role in his works and they are included in his novels from the positions of peculiar inversion. This article focuses on the novel “Pet Sematary” published in 1983 that analyses one of the most universal fears of human beings fromvarious points of views: the fear fromdeath. The article examines the deliberate author ’s periphrasis of the biblical motif in this novel, particularly the Gospel of the New Testament, where the central event is the death of Jesus Christ and resurrection or the so-called Easter story. The article analyses the way how S. King, resorting random allusions, other means of language and thematic interconnections, deconstructs several biblical notions in a peculiar way and offers solutions for the theme of the inevitability of the cycle of life and death in a modern context.
THE FUTURE PERSON OF RAINIS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF ILYA MENCHIKOV’S IDEAS
Authors: Šiliņa Zane
Published: November 2022

This article focuses on the interpretation tendencies of relations between a human being and nature characteristic of Rainis’ future visions. They are analysed on the basis of the idea of the Sun’s child expressed in several unfinished dramatic works of the poet (“Īliņš”, “Jānis Vīrs”, “Saules loks”). If the activities of themain character of the play “Īliņš” is focused mainly on the material world and the social sphere, the main area of the Sun’s child is not related to the social environment: he is solving issues that address the sequence of development of a human being and other living forms in the world (including birth, life, the process of aging and death). The image of the Sun’s child represents an idea about a new, harmonious world that would overcome the antagonism of human beings and the nature that has existed for generations, as well as rise above the oppositions that exist in society in general and in each individual in particular. The creation of the image of the Sun’s child and the formation of the overall worldviewof Rainis were strongly influenced by the work “Études sur la nature humains” (1903) written by the Russian biologist, Nobel Prize winner Ilya Metchnikov (1845–1916). Several basic I. Metchnikov’s guidelines and ideas are in common with the range of issues that Rainis was especially interested in. They are revealed not only in the draft materials of several unfinished plays, but also recorded in the poet’s diary.
SIGNIFICANCE OF INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCES IN INTERNATIONAL MILITARY OPERATIONS
Authors: Dziesma Maija
Published: November 2022

Since 1990 the number of international military operations con- sisting of forces of coalitions of various countries has increased in the world. Latvia and its armed forces actively participate in international operations organised and implemented by the NATO and the European Union and in other events aimed at strengthening collective security. In practice, it is possible to enhance the compatibilitywith the armed forces of other countries, to carry out training and gain operations experience that is necessary for professionally trained soldiers with an aim to enhance the execution of tasks and improve combating skills. When carrying out the questioning and interviewing of soldiers who have served in military missions, it has been stated that differences of various cultures, countries and the perception of life can influence cooperation of multinational forces and the overall effectiveness of activities. Intercultural factors have an impact on communication and performance during missions at various levels and in all areas of activities. Understanding of cultural differences ensures the effectiveness of coalition forces both among them- selves and in the country where the mission is carried out.
LIEZĒRE RUNESTONE
Authors: Urtāns Juris
Published: November 2022

A stone with runic inscriptions was discovered in Liezēre in Madona Region in 2012. This is a granite stone with runic signs carved in a snake-like pattern (0.7 m long and 0.5 m broad) on one side of the stone that has been previously flattened. Carvings are inscribed in accordance with the classical principles of making runestones. The Swedish runologist Dr. Magnus Källström has established that the stone contains runes from two runic writing systems that are not related to each other and also differ chronologically. Hence the runes cannot be original: they represent an imitation of a later period. If the runes are read in a sequence as a text (ailssaidlr ˚ assmadë ˚ s ˚ ld(r) ˚ mass ˚ ëbë(r)t), it makes no sense in Old Scandinavian languages. Next to the Liezēre runestone a trial excavation was made within an area of 1 x 1.5 m. Up to the depth of 0.55 m, there was a cultural layer of the period of the manor and later, but deeper – a cultural layer of a settlement dating back to the middle of the 1st millennium AD. No evidence was found that this could have been the original place of the stone. The cultural layer of the settlement could be related to the Lake Settlement Liezēre. The Liezēre runestone is of a later period, probably an imitation of the 19th century; it could have been carved as a park decoration of Liezēre manor house (owned by Schoultz von Ascheraden). The stone bears no archaeological value; however, it is significant from the cultural, historical and artistic points of view. This is the only professionally carved imitation of this type of runestones in Latvia.
THE COMMUNICATIVE DIMENSION OF TRADITION: PRESERVATION, INHERITING, INSTANTIATION IN USE
Authors: Mellēna Māra
Published: November 2022

The condition for the existence of traditional culture is its preservation and inheriting, which is possible only in communication and in a continuous recreation process in dialogue with cultural space, its community and history. Tradition as a framework and a heritage of tradition culture as one of the manifestations of the permanence of tradition is one of the models that may convey the identity of both the individual and the community. Tradition needs cultivation that may be manifest in a number of ways: as awareness of the text, its precise formula and handing down of words: as awareness of meaning, paying special attention to the explication and interpretation of meaning and commentaries; the third cultivation form of tradition is related to its instantiation in use and retranslation in actual cultural processes. This may happen both in formal and informal education, upbringing, enculturation or initiation, where the ritual plays a significant role. Interpretation of every text is also self-interpretation and self-improvement: therefore each tradition functions with its own system of moral beingness of ideals, norms, rules and moral principles; it offers its own image of man and its own techniques of achieving beingness. That is why the functioning of tradition in a dialogically dialectic matrix of the communicative field, that offers various viewpoints and possibilities and interpretation, poses the question about validity of interpretation and the responsibility of the inheritor in the preservation and handing down of tradition. The objective of the paper is to explore various aspects of the understanding of tradition and distinction of notions related to it with an aim to form a modern multi-dimensional understanding of tradition as a social phenomenon in the actual cultural processes.
RECEPTION OF SHAKESPEARE IN SOVIET LATVIA: OĻĢERTS KRODERS’S INTERPRETATIONS
Authors: Lēvalde Vēsma
Published: November 2022

The article offers a brief insight into theatrical productions of Shakespeare’s plays in Latvia, focusing on the tragedy “Hamlet”. The article also analyses four theatrical productions of William Shakespeare’s plays by Oļģerts Kroders during the Soviet times: “Romeo and Juliet” (1966), “A Tragic Story of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” (1972), “The Winter’s Tale” (1980), and “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” (1984). The theatrical productions of these plays demonstrate the influence of the world theatre processes on Kroders’s creative handwriting. The article is an attempt to find a connection between the director’s conception and the social situation of the historical period when the play was staged in Latvia. The materials used for the article include the reviews of every theatrical production in the press, two observations of the rehearsal process (1980– 1984), the explications of the director in the copies of the text of the play and in his private archive, and the ideas Kroders expressed in my interviews in 2011 and 2012. When interpreting translations of Shakespeare’s works, Kroders has remarkably solved not only linguistic and cultural differences which are characteristic of translated texts; he has also ideologically blended the two different epochs, addressing topical themes for the audience of Shakespeare’s day, without vulgarising or impoverishing the multi- layered message of the original.
STAGE SPEECH IN THE LATVIAN THEATRE: DEFINITION, FUNCTIONS AND TERMINOLOGY ASPECTS
Authors: Daudziņa Zane
Published: November 2022

Although it is a defining phenomenon in the holistic perspective of stage acting, stage speech has hardly been researched in Latvia from a theoretical point of view. The American theatre director and theatre semiotician Jon Whitmore (1945) describes the basic term stage speech as a specific wholeness of the speaker’s linguistic and paralinguistic expressive means that form the influence of what the actor says on the spectator [Whitmore 1994: 176]. Language is the dominant factor which influences stage speech. In the theatre, as a separate sign system stage speech most vividly expresses what is different and what belongs to national culture. In Latvia, stage speech had been closely connected with the Soviet theatre theory for 50 years, hence the term which was characteristic of the Russian theatre сценическая речь [Петрова 1981], i.e., stage speech. Since the beginnings of the Latvian theatre it has always been influenced by historically and territorially different schools; and innovations in the field of stage speech have not been introduced by creating them ourselves, but mostly by testing, adapting and compiling foreign experience. In the theatre, stage speech manifests itself as the quintessence of silence, noise and verbal music, in separate cases as a precise reflection of the lexical meanings of words, while most often as a variation on the idea offered by the author of the play, interpreted by the director and embodied by the actor. The aim of the article is to show the necessity of an extended study on stage speech as a whole system of signs in the Latvian theatre and to outline the first steps towards it.
THE IMAGE OF THE VAMPIRE IN WORLD AND LATVIAN LITERATURE
Authors: Simsone Bārbala
Published: November 2022

The theme of the article is evolution of the popular folklore image of the vampire in world literature. From the monster of folk narrative the image of the vampire entered literary culture at the beginning of the 19th century when writers of the age of Romanticism sought material for their work in folk tales. The novel “Dracula” written by the Irish writer Bram Stoker set a large part of attributes for the image of the vampire in readers’ consciousness. It became a turning point in the evolution of the vampire. In the following years the vampire was a popular symbol in the 20th century literary experiments; however, it gained a considerable fame with a more rapid spreading of the cinema. Later, until the second half of the 20th century the image of the vampire was degraded to the level of a cheap horror monster. In the 1970s it was revived by the American writer Anne Rice in her series of novels “The Vampire Chronicles”. For the time being the latest tendency in the evolution of the vampire is represented by the novels of paranormal romance subgenre intended for young adults. In these novels the vampire has assumed the aura of a romantic character. In comparison with world literature vampire has not won a massive popularity in the novels of Latvian writers; however, some authors have occasionally used this image in their works. The image of the vampire appears in Latvian literature as a classical blood sucking monster, as a political symbol and also as a romantic hero in fantasy and adventure novels for young people. As we can see, the presence of the image of the vampire in Latvian writing reflects the same tendencies that have dominated world literature on a smaller scale. For this reason Latvian literature can be considered to be an interesting testimony of literary connections in the world.
METONYMIES AND METAPHORS: IMAGES OF THE SEAT BELT AND NUMBER PLATE
Authors: Veinberga Elīna
Published: November 2022

Cognitive linguists argue that many metaphors have a metonymic basis, and frequently it is not easy to tell them apart [see Gibbs [1994] 2002: 449–451, Barcelona 2003: 8–12, Semino 2008: 20]. The aim of this article is to examine this claim on the material of advertisements in Latvian. The paper gives an insight into the history of seat belt development and analyses particular instances in advertising and other visual material, and their stylistic development in discourse. Development means not only interaction of the image with the text (visual and verbal) and its interpretation in one context, but also cases of use when the image exceeds the borders of one advertisement and is employed in several advertisements either in the same (discoursal use), or another advertising campaign (interdiscoursal use). My aim is to establish whether metonymic images are sustainable and whether they can be used for other purposes by employing allusion to the original advertisements. When analysing the material of social campaigns, it is important to reveal the development of figurative thought in verbal and visual discourse in order to reveal the role of metonymy in thinking and conceptualisation of human experience.
AN INTERPRETATION OF A HISTORICAL PERSON: MAURICE MAETERLINCK IN THE LATVIAN LITERARY TEXT
Authors: Valke Simona Sofija
Published: November 2022

At the beginning of the 20th century, as the popularity of Maurice Maeterlinck grew, more and more often the names of the Belgian symbolist, his characters, quotations and paraphrases of his texts occurred in the Latvian fiction. A character in Latvian literature, a reader and connoisseur of Maeterlinck indirectly reflects the taste of people interested in literature at the time and through the prism of reception aesthetics provides an insight into the specific features of reading the popular writer. Thus Maeterlinck’s intertext reveals the most essential Belgian concepts and aspects of metaphysical thought to Latvian writers. It can be read both in the works of art of Maeterlinck’s translators – Zeltmatis (Ernests Kārkliņš) and Augusts Baltpurviņš and in the works of other Latvian writers at the beginning of the 20th century: Viktors Eglītis, Edvards Vulfs, Fallijs and Antons Austriņš. In the case of the male character the bond is created with Maeterlinck’s own literary activities and his innovations, whereas the female characters are depicted as alien: heroines of Maeterlinck’s plays resemble Pre-Raphaelite damsels.

Damage area of soil and water conservation facilities, soil and water loss risk analysis, soil and water loss prediction, etc. According to the prediction results, the project construction period (including construction preparation period and construction period) is determined as the main runoff area. This paper analyzes and evaluates the distribution of soil and water conservation measures, ecological restoration and effective management measures, and predicts the benefits of soil and water conservation measures. The Results Show That The Measures Adopted In Different Control Areas are reasonable And effective, and have good effect on Soil erosion control during the construction period. It can provide reference for soil and water loss prevention and control of the same production and construction projects in dryland and desert areas.
A Study on Static and Dynamic Provincial-level Measurements of Tourism Industry Efficiency in China -Based on Malmquist-Luenberger Index and SBM-DEA models
Authors: Liu Yuyao
Published: November 2022

While existing studies have considered economic inputs and outputs into the industrial efficiency measurement models for eco-tourism industries in China, few of them have put environment inputs such as natural resources and outputs such as carbon emission into account. This study applies the tourism stripping factor method to measure provincial tourism carbon emissions and innovatively employs the Malmquist-Luenberger and SBM-DEA models with unfavorable outputs to evaluate the eco-efficiency of China's provincial tourism industry by adding input and output variables reflecting environmental factors. The study found that, unlike the results from traditional models without unfavorable outputs, which showed a slight downward trend in pure economic efficiency, the industrial efficiency including the environmental factors of 31 Chinese provinces showed an upward trend through the static analysis, representing an increase in the eco-efficiency of the tourism industry. The tourism industrial efficiency values in each region evaluated dynamically are less volatile than the results from traditional models, which may support the moderating effect of the technological upgrading of China's green industry on the efficiency of the tourism industry. Theoretical and empirical findings of this research are also illustrated.

The Qinghai-Tibet corridor includes road and railway in the highland area, characterized as the highest altitude, longest route and various sensitive ecosystems. Quantitative analysis of ecological effects along the Qinghai-Tibet corridor is critical to understand the impact of different traffic infrastructure on global hotpot of biodiversity maintenance. In this study, the Golmud-Lhasa national highway, railway and expressway were selected to analyse the impact of buffer zone and the pattern of landscape, thereby clarify the land use change, vegetation dynamics and landscape change. The results showed that the dominant type of grassland decreased and unused land increased in 2020 within the national highway buffer zone. As for railway station buffer zone, dominant grassland and unused land decreased while construction land increased in 2020. In buffer zones of national highway, there were contrary trends in cropland across periods, which decreased in 2000 and 2020 while increased in 2010; in different periods, the proportion of forest, water body and unused land increased, while the proportion of shrubland and construction land decreased, and waterbody and grassland were increased obviously within 0-3000m. In buffer zones of railway station, there were threshold effects in each land use types alongside distance gradients, in details, the threshold of grassland, shrubland and unused land was about 8000m. The vegetation status in the national highway and railway station buffer zone were improved over time, especially in the buffer zone of railway stations in 2010 and 2020. The results of landscape pattern index showed that although the highway construction caused the increased landscape fragmentation, it also improved the diversity and evenness of landscape. Therefore, the future expressway construction should be aimed at improving connectivity and maintaining stability.

Az antenatális szorongás háttértényezőinek vizsgálata a II. és III. trimeszterben lévő gravidák körében
Authors: Horváth Luca , Karácsony Ilona
Published: November 2022

Bevezetés és célkitűzés: Vizsgálatunk során feltártuk a II. és III. trimeszterben lévő várandósok életmódját, mentális egészségi állapotát, kapcsolati rendszereik minőségét. Anyag és módszer: Kvantitatív, keresztmetszeti kutatásunkban II. és III. trimeszterben lévő várandósok (n=540) vettek részt. Szakértői, kényelmi mintavétellel on-line felületen megvalósuló felmérésünk saját szerkesztésű és standard (MSPSS, IBM, STAI Állapotszorongás, EPDS, Pszichoszociális mérőskála) kérdőívek segítségével történt. Adataink elemzéséhez Pearson-, Spearman korrelációt, ANOVA-próbát, t-próbát, chi2 próbát (p<0,05) használtunk. Eredmények: A gesztációs kor növekedése önmagában nem emelte meg a szorongás és a hangulati állapot szintjét illetve annak kialakulásának arányát sem (p> 0,05). A magas rizikójú várandósság és a szorongás szint, illetve a pszichoszociális stressz mértéke között összefüggés volt igazolható (p <0,05). A család valamint a jelentősen mások általi társas támogatás és a szorongásszint között gyenge negatív irányú, míg a barátok, illetve a társas támogatás összesített értéke esetében biztos, de gyenge negatív szignifikáns kapcsolatot mutattunk ki (p <0,05). Azoknál a várandósoknál, akiket támogattak a barátaik, kevesebb esetben fordult elő magas szintű szorongás (p <0,05). Társas támogatáson belül nem maga a családi állapot volt számottevő, sokkal inkább annak minősége, az antenatalis szorongás szintjét jelentősen növelte a társ csökkenő gondoskodásának a mértéke (p <0,05). Következtetés: A társas támogatás hiánya jelentős mértékben képes befolyásolni a várandósok lelki állapotát negatív irányba. A védőnői munka során sokkal szélesebb körűen kell foglalkozni a várandósok lelki egészségével, valamint biztosítani kell számukra a pozitív családtervezés lehetőségét. Várandósgondozás során figyelmet kell fordítani a hangulati állapot változásának szűrésére, mellyel elősegíthetjük a korai felismerést, ami a korai kezelés lehetőségét vonja maga után.
