Reconsidering Urban Densification for Microclimatic Improvement: Planning and Design Strategies for Istanbul
Authors: Erdem Okumus Deniz , Terzi Fatih
Published: December 2022

One of the key issues of the urban planning agenda is how urban density be decided in the spatial configurations of future neighbourhoods to overcome complex challenges such as urban warming. This paper aims to reconsider urban density as a spatial planning instrument to develop effective densification policies, planning and design strategies in terms of surface urban heat island (SUHI) mitigation in Istanbul. The quantitative research embraced a four-stage methodology including grid-based sampling design, decoding the taxonomy of urban density-matrix (UDM), land surface temperature mapping, and ANOVA tests. Tests were conducted on the UDM consisting of nine building typologies representing the horizontal and vertical urban density. The research indicated that the impact of urbanisation on SUHI can be mitigated by controlling densities and urban forms based on quantitative findings. The highest temperatures were recorded in areas with high-coverage-mid-rise and mid-coverage-mid-rise development. The different levels of SUHI in different building typologies having the same density indicated the mitigation potentials of the built-form in Istanbul's local urban warming. Low coverage and high-rise building forms were an optimal solution for mitigating SUHI in densely populated urban areas. The research gives insight into an ongoing debate among urban professionals in Istanbul concerning the impacts of density and the urban form for climate adaptation. It enables professionals to understand the impact of urban planning decisions on microclimate and integrate them into the operational processes. Considering quantitative research findings as a strong foundation for developing policy recommendations and using them as a guideline may create new opportunities for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. The study has an original value for exploring design strategies to improve microclimate and promoting sustainable urban development.
Determining UHI Effect by Remote Sensing Method in Bolu City Centre, Turkey
Authors: Kırkık Aydemir Kıymet Pınar , Kazancı Altınok Gamze , Ünsal Ömer
Published: December 2022

Urban Heat Island (UHI) has been described by authors as the UHI effect is among the most common forms of human origin (anthropogenic) local climate change. The increasing UHI effect with the differences in land use and landscape pattern varies depending on surface soil, watery field presence and vegetation. In this study, using Landsat 5 TM of 1994 and Landsat 7 ETM+ images of 2019, the ArcGIS 10.6.1 program and the remote sensing methods have identified surface temperature and vegetation distribution. Surface temperature values of the land-use in Bolu province of 2019, 1/5000 Urban Development Plan land uses and average temperature values were determined. The study revealed the change between urban development and the effect of land surface temperature over the course of 25 years, and discussed the UHI effect in the Bolu province. The effects of the historical process in Bolu city center on land surface temperature (with LST differences) and vegetation distribution (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; NDVI) have been surveyed. The constraints of this study are that the spatial resolution in orthophotos of 1994 is low, and the type of land-use temperature data cannot be compared to 2019. For this reason, LST and NDVI analyzes were conducted in 1994 orthophotos, classifying all parcels with structure and related area in the form of manually constructed areas (built Environment). One of the findings of this study are surface temperatures of areas used as farmland in the year 1994 data reached higher values after they quickly began to urbanize in Bolu. The main reason for the high surface temperature in the Bolu province over the 25-year period is that agricultural areas are impurized and increasing population density and the albedo effect. It has been concluded that the lack of green space and lack of vegetation in the continuous urban area has increased the UHI effect.

This study aims to evaluate the dose sensitivity of MAGIC-f  gel irradiated by high-energy photon beams, comparing quantification using different MRI sequences. Irradiation was performed using 6 MV photons with 600 cGy/min dose rate, field size of 20x20 cm², and 94 cm source-to-surface distance. Two gel batches were produced on different days and placed in vials. In the first batch, doses of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 20, and 40 Gy were planned. The second batch was irradiated with doses of 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14, and 16 Gy. MR images were acquired with Spin Echo (SE, TR=3 s) and Multi Spin Echo (MSE, TR = 3s or 10s, turbo factor 24) sequences. The dose is assessed via changes in the transverse relaxation time in the irradiated gel. In MSE, dose sensitivity in the first batch was 0.27 (TR=3 s) and 0.28 Gy-1s-1  (TR=10 s) and in the second batch, 0.31 and 0.31 Gy-1s-1 (TR = 3 s and TR = 10 s, respectively). In the SE sequence, dose sensitivity was 0.42 for the first batch and 0.43 Gy-1s-1 for the second batch. Linearity of dose-response was only obtained for doses below 10 Gy. Comparing the dose sensitivity extracted from MSE and SE sequences using TR= 3s, differences around 30% were found. Thus, although MSE-MRI offers a faster protocol of imaging acquisition it is less precise for quantification of relaxation times, as TE is not a well-defined quantity. The performance of the gel as a dosimeter is consequently sequence dependent.

Esta pesquisa explora a gramática fonotática das sílabas de ataque ramificado CCV (Consoante1+Consoante2+Vogal) do Português Brasileiro, analisando suas propriedades e restrições combinatórias. O estudo mensura o julgamento de aceitabilidade de falantes nativos sobre encontros consonantais de frequência alta (/tɾ, pɾ, bɾ/), baixa (/dɾ, kl, gl/) e marginal (/tl, dl, vl/), contrapondo-os a encontros consonantais não atestados na língua, de escala de sonoridade não marcada (sonoridade ascendente /bn, ʃɾ/) e marcada (sonoridade descendente /lb, řt/; plateaus /xl, ft/). Nosso objetivo, com isso, é delinear a intuição fonotática do falante, traçando os efeitos do Léxico (frequência) e da Fonologia (Escala de Sonoridade) na gramática fonotática do PB. Os resultados apontam aceitabilidade distinta entre sequências de alta e baixa frequência, atestando um efeito do Léxico. Entretanto, sequências de frequência igual a zero apresentam julgamentos também distintos por efeito da Escala de Sonoridade, apontando para uma inter-relação Fonotaxe↔Léxico. /tl, dl, vl/, por sua vez, se mostram distintos tanto das sequências atestadas quanto das não atestadas, revelando caráter marginal. A seguinte escala de gradiência fonotática foi constatada: /pɾ, bɾ/≻/tɾ/≻/gl/≻/dɾ/≻/kl/≻/vl, dl/≻/tl/≻/ʃɾ, bn/≻/ft/≻/řt/≻/xl/≻/lb/.
berço colonial à dinâmica não linear
Authors: Perozzo Reiner Vinicius , Kupske Felipe Flores
Published: December 2022

Embora saibamos que a percepção da fala desempenha papel central no desenvolvimento linguístico, sua adoção na teoria fonológica enfrentou resistência teórica e metodológico-tecnológica. Todavia, o interesse pela área tem aumentado por dois motivos principais: o avanço tecnológico das ciências da fala e as tentativas de incorporação de princípios perceptuais a modelos fonológicos tradicionais. Neste artigo, advogamos que o despertar tardio da percepção na fonologia está relacionado ao seu berço colonial e, como consequência, ao modo como algumas teorias/modelos linguísticos cartesianos enxergam e validam o indivíduo e o individual e, por conseguinte, a produção e a percepção da fala, construtos que, em modelos clássicos de fonologia, não se inserem nas definições de língua. A marginalização da percepção está relacionada ao “epistemicídio” (SANTOS, 2019, p. 28) provocado por paradigmas científicos (linguísticos) hegemônicos que tiveram o suporte da privilegiada ciência moderna. Logo, neste trabalho, pretendemos descolonizar a fonologia, fundamentando-nos em uma proposta científica calcada na Complexidade, trazendo à tona uma leitura crítica da dicotomia langue-parole. Na perspectiva adotada neste texto, a gramática fonológica é orientada pelas ações individuais de superfície, e a percepção de suas unidades fônicas torna-se primordial para que seja instanciada.
Shifting Higher Vocational Education Teachers' Response Toward Inward Affective Involvement in Ethical Dilemmas: Perspectives on the Design of Affective Learning Experiences to Inform Students’ Attitude Toward an Ethical Dilemma
Authors: Den Heijer Pamela , Zondervan Ton , Voogt Joke
Published: December 2022

Higher vocational education teachers often encounter students who are inclined to view ethical dilemmas with an inner distance. If teachers’ input comes solely from the cognitive rather than the affective component, the interaction about the ethical dilemma between teacher and students will never progress beyond that level of inner distance. In our qualitative study, a total of 31 higher vocational education teachers from 6 educational programs were placed in an experiential position by presenting them with an ethical dilemma. This study aims to inform the analysis and exploration of the problem of our overall design-based research project. By asking them about this dilemma in teams, they were stimulated to respond to the ethical dilemma and to view it affectively. The results show that most teachers kept their distance from the ethical dilemma. Only when their fundamental beliefs were being challenged they seemed to assume some degree of inward affective involvement. This study contributes to theoretical and practical knowledge about stimulating inward affective involvement with ethical dilemmas so that students can develop a conscious value-expressive attitude.
Fuzzy Model for Adjusting Stakeholder Engagement Strategies of a Company That Has Joined a Regional Strategic Alliance
Authors: Gresko Alexander A. , Konstantin S. Solodukhin Konstantin S. Solodukhin , Rubtsova Natalia V.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. The relevance of the study lies in the need to support managerial decision-making in the field of interaction between the participants in regional strategic alliances. The purpose of the article is to develop a method for adjusting strategies for interaction with stakeholders for an organization that has joined a regional strategic alliance.

Materials and Methods. The proposed method is based on a fuzzy model of choosing strategies for the interaction of an organization with stakeholders before and after the entry into the alliance. The quantitative values of the relationship characteristics within the model framework are estimated for each resource component participating in the resource exchange of stakeholders with the organization, using a base of fuzzy production rules and a fuzzy inference algorithm.

Results. It presents the main difference between the model and other well-known models for evaluating the characteristics of relations of an organization with stakeholders. The method is based on the assumption of significant changes in the characteristics of relations with stakeholders due to the entry of an organization into a strategic alliance. The paper assumes that these changes, in turn, lead to significant changes in the weighting coefficients of the feasibility of using various types of strategies for the interaction of an organization with stakeholders. The developed tools are tested on the example of the experience industry of territory – a regional strategic alliance between the Shtykovskie Prudy art park and the Tokyo restaurant chain (Primorye Territory). The paper depicts the change of relations with the stakeholders of the art park due to its joining the alliance. Besides, the paper shows how the expediency of using different types of strategies for the organization’s interaction with stakeholders changes. The paper focuses on identifying further directions of the development.

Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the work can be useful to specialists in the field of management of regional strategic alliances, in particular, employees of the tourism administration, the business community, scientific and pedagogical personnel in the relevant field, and can be used in the training of specialists of higher and secondary professional education in strategic management.
A Conceptual Model for the Development of Rural Territories of Regions Based on the Principles of Green Economy
Authors: Kovalenko Elena G. , Polushkina Tatiana M. , Yakimova Olga Yu. , Akimova Yulia A.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. In recent years in Russian theory and practice more and more attention has been paid to the transition to a green economy through the introduction of innovative clean technologies that ensure resource conservation and increased attention to environmental protection and biodiversity conservation. Rural territories of the country’s regions are significantly differentiated by all elements of sustainable development: economy, quality of life and the state of the environment. If the first two elements are actively promoted through the implementation of targeted programs and projects, then the preservation of natural potential, the prevention of environmental degradation by reducing its pollution is not being implemented enough. So, the purpose of the article is, on the basis of the study, to determine the priority areas for the introduction of green technologies in agriculture, contributing to the solution of environmental and social problems of administrative-territorial entities.

Materials and Methods. The study was conducted on the materials of official data of Rosstat, reports of state executive authorities (for example, the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia), as well as other information and analytical organizations. The empirical material was processed by using statistical methods (groupings, cluster analysis), which represents an assessment of the socio-economic situation, human development, the state of the environment of 14 subjects of the Volga Federal District, on the basis of which directions for the transition of rural areas to a green course of development are proposed.

Results. The transformation of rural management is considered in the paradigm of sustainable development with an emphasis on nature conservation through the development of scientifically based regional models for the phased solution of acute environmental problems in accordance with financial capabilities and competencies. A conceptual model of transition to the green course of sustainable development of rural areas is proposed, including diagnostics of problems, conditions and factors of the state of the environment, social sphere and economy.

Discussion and Conclusion. Due to the existing complexity of the rural economy and significant differences in the composition and structure of economic entities in the regions, their strategic goals and priorities for sustainable development are not the same. A model of purposeful transition to organic agriculture has been developed for regions with a predominance of small forms of management.

Authors: Kolykhalov Maxim I.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. The international activities of megacities in current circumstances are undergoing significant transformations, and new phenomena are emerging that require updating research approaches, clarifying and supplementing the terminology database. The purpose of the article is to explore various types of global cities, based on leading research concepts, to identify the presence of an interconnected system of the genesis of these categories, highlight key features and determine universal criteria for classifying megacities as one or another type of global city, clarify or define key concepts that characterize this object of study.

Materials and Methods. As research materials, current works of leading domestic and foreign researchers, as well as data from leading rating agencies and analytical centers in the field of urban studies and urban planning have been used. Methodological basis is made up of a system approach, structural-functional analysis, and an inductive method, which made it possible to reveal the structure of the transnational urban system, to explore the main factors, to determine the general trends and patterns of this object of study.

Results. The analysis of the main research concepts of global cities, including “the world city”, “the global city”, “the international city”, “the global information city”, has been carried out, the criteria and features for distinguishing these categories have been proposed, the genesis models and the principles for determining the actual composition of these categories of cities have been studied. The following terms have been clarified or defined. A conceptual framework for the genesis of global cities has been proposed.

Discussion and Conclusion. The study revealed that international power centers form a transnational urban network, the nodes of which are urban centers, while global economy, represented by advanced service and manufacturing companies, acts as links. The article is useful to researchers of scientific issues of international activities of subnational territorial units, and can also be used by the relevant central or regional authorities in developing directions or concepts for the development of urban centers as international centers of influence.
Globalizáció és civilizáció
Authors: Rostoványi Zsolt
Published: December 2022

A tanulmány a civilizáció és a kultúra szerepét vizsgálja a globalizálódó
nemzetközi rendszerben. Rámutat a helyzet ellentmondásosságára, az egységesülés
és a széttöredezés, a globalizáció és a deglobalizáció, a civilizációs és
decivilizációs folyamat egyidejű érvényesülésére. Bemutatja a civilizáció és a
kultúra különböző értelmezéseit, a fogalmak egyes és többes számú alakjainak
(civilizáció – civilizációk, kultúra – kultúrák) használatában rejlő
ellentmondásokat. Globális civilizációról csupán technicista-instrumentalista
értelemben beszélhetünk, a szó társadalom-, illetve történelemfilozófiai
értelmében nem. Napjainkat a lokális identitások szerepének széles körű
előretörése jellemzi. A tanulmány bemutatja a globális kultúra több típusát,
köztük azt a nemzetköziesedett elit kultúrát, amelynek az oktatás –
mindenekelőtt a felsőoktatás – is része.
Globalizáció és egyenlőtlenségek – oktatásban és az emberi tőkében
Authors: Polónyi István
Published: December 2022

Az iskolázottság növekedése az előrejelzések szerint nem lassul. Ugyanakkor a
globalizáció nyomán az iskolázottság növekedésével az iskolázottsági
egyenlőtlenségek alakulása sajátos képet mutat. Az iskolázottság növekedésével
az iskolázottsági egyenlőtlenségek egy fordított Kuznets-görbének nagyjából
megfelelő lefutást mutatnak a magasabb iskolázottság időszakában. Azonban az
országcsoportok nagy részében ez kiegészül egy ellentétes görbületű résszel az
alacsonyabb iskolázottság időszakában. Így egy hullámszerű alakulás jellemzi az
iskolázottsági egyenlőtlenségeket az iskolázottsággal együtt vizsgálva.

A cikk ezután nagyszámú UNESCO-tagország adatai alapján a humántőke-eloszlást
elemzi, amelynek eredménye egyértelműen Nessie-görbét mutat, vagyis a
legmagasabb HDI-percentilis országaiban lényegesen magasabb a humán tőke, mint a
többi percentilis országaiban.

Összegzésként az írás megerősíti azt a feltételezést, hogy a globalizáció nyomán
az iskolázottság növekedésével mind az iskolázottsági különbségek, mind az
emberi tőkeeloszlás egyenlőtlenségei növekednek.
Az angol nyelv és a globalizáció
Authors: Medgyes Péter
Published: December 2022

Tanulmányom az angol nyelv és a globalizáció összefüggéseit boncolgatja,
kiemelve, hogy az angol világnyelvi primátusát az angol anyanyelvű államok,
mindenekelőtt az Egyesült Államok gazdasági és politikai ereje alapozta meg.
Ennek ára azonban az, hogy az anyanyelvű beszélők ma már nem egyedüli birtokosai
a nyelvnek, nem ők határozzák meg a beszédhasználati szabályokat. A kommunikáció
sikere a pragmatikai hatékonyságon múlik, amit a beszélők rendelkezésére álló
nyelvek váltogatásával is el lehet érni. Ez az új szemlélet a nyelvoktatás
módszertanára is jelentős hatással lehet a jövőben. Külön fejezetben tárgyalom
az idegennyelv-oktatás magyarországi helyzetét, végül felvázolom az angol
jövőjével kapcsolatos forgatókönyveket, a többnyelvűség irányába ható
tényezőket.
Rejtett tanterv a változó tanulási környezetben
Authors: Szabó László Tamás
Published: December 2022

A globalizálódás mint civilizációs fejlemény gyökeresen új feltételek közegébe
helyezte a képzés, a tanítás és tanulás világát. Ez az írás e problémakört
vizsgálja, azt, miféle hatások formálják a szóban forgó világot az új feltételek
közegében mind a szervezett, intézményes tanítás/tanulás, mind a szabadidős
tanulás terepén. Választott nézőpontunk a szaknyelvi metaforával „rejtett
tanterv”-nek nevezett jelenségvilág. A szakirodalom kettős értelemben használja
ezt a metaforát: részint hatásforrásként (rejtett tanterv/hidden curriculum,
implicit tanterv, latens curriculum, nem tervezett curriculum), részint e
hatásforrás hozamaiként (hallgatólagos tudás, implicit tudás, a viselkedés nem
verbalizált szabályrendszerének – rituálék – felismerése és elsajátítása).
Mindezek a tanítás mintegy nem szándékolt mellékhatásaiként jönnek létre és
közvetítődnek a tanulóhoz (gyermekhez és felnőtthöz egyaránt). Ezek azok a
pszichikus képződmények (ismeret, attitűd, szokás, cselekvési és reagálási mód),
amelyek – meghatározó tananyagként – tipikus, azaz gyakorta ismétlődő (rituálék)
tanulási tapasztalatokként foglalhatók össze. Az új tanulási környezet
meghatározó jellemzője a vizualitás (képek) erőteljes térnyerése a szavakból
épülő fogalmi nyelv mellett. A globális környezet globális kompetenciák
kimunkálását várja az oktatástól; e téren a pandémia alatti online oktatást
vizsgáló tanulmányok nem nyújtanak vigasztaló képet, viszont jelezzük azokat a
hazai fejleményeket, terveket és kimunkált tanulást segítő/támogató tartalmi és
módszerbeli kezdeményeket, amelyek némi reményre jogosítanak. Számbavesszük az
új tanulási környezet kommunikációs sajátosságainak nem tervezett – pozitív és
negatív – rejtett tantervi hatásait (észlelési sebesség, figyelem, információ
vs. tudás, új típusú tanári és tanulói szerepek, partnerségi viszonyok,
tudásmonopólium stb.). A szakirodalom nyomán szólunk a hálózatos világban
létrejövő újfajta közösségek és identitások jellemző vonásairól.

Profile of fatty acid and pesticide residues of cream and yoghurt butter during storage
Authors:   University of Tetova, Faculty of Food Technology and Nutrition, Str. Ilinden nn., 1200 Tetova, Republic of North Macedonia, Sulejmani Erhan
Published: December 2022

Butter samples produced from cream (C) or yoghurt (Y) were evaluated for fatty acid (FA) composition and pesticide residues. The results showed that yoghurt butter has a higher health-promoting index (HPI) compared to the cream butter and overall acceptability scores at the end of storage. The yoghurt butter contained 62.81 g 100 g-1 saturated, 3.50 g 100 g-1 monounsaturated, and 2.44 g 100 g-1 polyunsaturated fatty acids whereas the cream butter contained 69.99 g 100 g-1 saturated, 3.57 g 100 g-1 monounsaturated and 2.81 g 100 g-1 polyunsaturated fatty acids, respectively. The peroxides levels varied from 0.90 for the cream to 1.44 mEq O2 kg-1 for yoghurt butter samples. The moisture content varied from 16.21 to 13.19 and 13.83 to 13.57 g 100 g-1 and the total lipid content varied from 77.5 to 79.5 and 83.0 to 83.5 g 100 g-1 for cream and yoghurt butter samples, respectively. The 13 pesticide compounds in butter samples did not exceed the legal limits.
Life’s Meaning and Religion in Contemporary Europe
Authors: Kržan Matija
Published: December 2022

The challenges of modernity in the West have been numerous, affecting even the deepest or existential segments of human being. That the anxiety of the modern era has led to crises has been claimed by many. At the same time religion, in this case Christianity, has undergone notable changes, where its institutional and social roles have been particularly weakened. Since religions seek to assert metaphysical knowledge and answer existential questions, I examine if and to what extent religiosity determines meaning in an individual’s life. A questionnaire was developed consisting of seven scales measuring Higher Meaning of Life, General Meaning in Life, Religiosity, Spirituality, Faith Maturity, Faith in Day-to-Day Life and Social Connectedness. Results show that higher meaning of life and general meaning in life are two separate categories, determined by different parameters. In terms of absolute values, participants have reported significantly lower mean value on the Higher Meaning of Life scale in comparison with General Meaning in Life scale. Further analysis shows that religiosity is not a key predictor of higher meaning of life, nor general meaning in life. As giving meaning and purpose is considered to be one of the essential functions of religion, I conclude that religiosity, and consequently religion, does not fulfil one of its main functions in contemporary Slovenia. However, spirituality has been measured to have a considerable effect on the higher meaning of life.

Mörbylånga kommun har i och med sin omställning till Nära vård, men även utifrån en önskan om att bibehålla och höja kvalitén inom vård- och omsorgsverksamheten, infört ett nytt arbetssätt. Det nya arbetssättet, Mörbylångamodellen, grundar sig i förbättringsförslag från medarbetare som arbetar i den verksamhet som berörs, med fokus på kunders enskilda behov. Mörbylångamodellen introducerades inom hemtjänstverksamhet och för de anställda innebar det nya arbetssättet förändrade arbetsuppgifter. Att införa nya arbetssätt kan vara utmanande för de anställda eftersom förändringarna kan inverka på både arbetsmiljön och hälsa. Genom att utvärdera införandet av Mörbylångamodellen inhämtas kunskap om arbetsmiljö, hälsa och om hur medarbetare och chefer tar till sig och inför modellen. Resultaten kan användas för att anpassa eventuella insatser för att främja införandet av Mörbylångamodellen. Deltagare i utvärderingen var undersköterskor och chefer vid fyra hemtjänstgrupper i Mörbylånga kommun som nyligt infört Mörbylångamodellen. De fick besvara en webbenkät under första halvan av år 2022, svarsfrekvens uppgick till 80% (40 svar av 50 möjliga). Resultatet presenteras på individnivå och inte på enhetsnivå. Resultaten visar att deltagarna var motiverade och engagerade i att både föra in och arbeta efter Mörbylångamodellen. Vissa hade kommit längre medan andra fortfarande befann sig i början av införandet. De allra flesta ansåg att de har stöd i införandeprocessen och upplevde att de både kunde bidra till att införa Mörbylångamodellen samt att det fanns fördelar med det nya arbetssättet. Många ansåg att Mörbylångamodellen kunde gynna både den egna arbetsmiljön och vara gynnsam för omsorgstagarna.

A fotografia ruidosa de Miroslav Tichý: a agência dos equipamentos fotográficos artesanais na construção de uma estética da precariedade
Authors: Rezende Paula Davies
Published: December 2022

Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a agência de elementos não humanos, como os equipamentos fotográficos, na consolidação de uma estética caracterizada por ruídos e falhas, denominada aqui de estética da precariedade. Tal estética marca a produção fotográfica do artista checo Miroslav Tichý (1926-2011). Suas fotografias, singularizadas por falta de nitidez, ruídos e deterioração física, decorrentes de um processo fotográfico artesanal e peculiar, servem de estudo de caso para analisar a ingerência de elementos não humanos na configuração dessa estética da precariedade.

Relevance Space exploration with the help of automatic spacecraft — satellites for various purposes, deep space exploration devices, has been going on for decades. Despite this, even with the current level of reliability, spacecraft fail without having exhausted the entire period of active existence. The basic part, the so-called platform of the spacecraft, as a rule, consists of its life-supporting systems: a temperature control system, an orientation system, a propulsion system, an on-board computer control system. A failure in the operation of each of them leads to an emergency situation on board, but it is enough for any part of the power supply system to fail so that the device eventually turns out to be completely inoperable. In this regard, the power supply system of the spacecraft must be subjected to high-quality ground testing, undergo several stages of testing, from autonomous to complex as part of the spacecraft. In order to confirm the predicted reliability and operability of the spacecraft power supply system, the nominal and limit modes of its operation should be simulated in ground conditions. But, for obvious reasons, the use of on-board solar and battery batteries in ground conditions, as well as the entire complex of service and useful electrical loads, is difficult and ineffective. Therefore, in order to carry out a full-fledged ground experimental testing, a special class of control and verification equipment is used – hardware and software complexes that simulate the operating modes of the power supply system, consisting of simulators of solar, rechargeable batteries and onboard electrical load, automated connection control systems. Aim of research To bring the structure of the digital twin of the spacecraft power supply system and implement a computer model of the digital twin to automate the tasks of designing, developing and ground testing of the power supply system. Research methods The method of component circuits, methods of system analysis. Results The structure of the digital twin of the spacecraft power supply system is given. A computer model of a digital double has been implemented in the domestic environment of multilevel computer modeling of MARS. The digital twin was integrated into the test bench of the power supply system by interacting with real databases and a control computer Keywords: spacecraft power supply system, ground tests, control and verification equipment, battery simulator, solar battery simulator, electric load simulator, automation of the test process, digital twin

Oral health is an essential component of an individual’s general health and overall well-being. Although past studies have evaluated oral health knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP), little is known about the level of KAP between students and staff of higher education institutions. This study aimed to evaluate oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices among undergraduate students and staff at a selected University of Technology in Nigeria. A multicentre cross-sectional survey was conducted between May – June 2021 with a sample of 747 consisting of 378 students and 369 staff, recruited from 8 faculties across the University. One-way ANOVA test was applied for the statistical evaluation of numerical measures. The association between knowledge, attitudes and practice scores were assessed using Pearson correlation analyses (α=.0.05).  No significant differences were found in the oral health knowledge, attitude, and practices between the students and staff (P>0.05). Overall, the finding suggests that 84.3% of the respondents had a positive attitude toward oral health, 92.5% had high knowledge and 87.4% practised oral health was adequate. The respondents KAP differed by socio-demographic characteristics. The relationship between knowledge and practice was fair (r = 0.358, p < 0.01) while positive weak correlations were observed between attitude and practice (r = 0.198, p < 0.01), and between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.173, p < 0.01). The salient feature of this study suggests that while there was a high level of knowledge among the respondents, the attitude and actual practice of oral healthcare does not commensurate with the level of knowledge. Nonetheless, it was found that knowledge had positive associations with the practice of oral health care. The findings suggest there is a need to improve the knowledge about oral health practice among both staff and students through a tailored design of community based awareness to increase oral health practice.
What’s new for the clinician– summaries of recently published papers
Authors: Yengopal V
Published: December 2022

Periodontitis is a chronic oral disease characterized by inflammation of the gingiva and/or destruction of the connective tissue and alveolar bone that support the teeth. Subgingival microorganisms that adhere to and grow in the periodontal pocket, along with excessive and aggressive immune response against these microorganisms, are considered to cause periodontitis. Therefore, the primary purpose of periodontal treatment is to control subgingival microorganisms. Surgical removal of the third molar is one of the most common interventions in oral surgery and postoperative complaints occur quite frequently. Many clinicians routinely prescribe antibiotics pre-operatively to reduce the chances of post-op infection although there is no consensus on whether this is the best protocol to adopt.

A 5-year-old healthy female patient presented with a one-year history of a slow-growing swelling of the right mandible. The patient reported that the swelling was slightly tender. Intraoral examination revealed a grossly carious lower right primary molar (tooth 85). A panoramic radiograph showed bony expansion of the inferior mandibular border with a lamellated or ‘onion-skin’ appearance. The trabecular bone in the vicinity had a sclerotic appearance.

Knowledge of Philippine herpetofauna is progressively increasing. However, there are still areas in the country that are poorly understood and remain unexplored, particularly in the southern Philippines. Mt. Agad-Agad in Iligan City (Lanao del Norte Province) is a secondary lowland evergreen tropical rainforest in the southern portion of the northern Mindanao region, popular with the general public and a biologically important mountain ecosystem. Herein, we present the species richness and distribution of herpetofauna using standardized sampling methods. We documented 37 species of amphibians and reptiles, recording 20 Philippine-endemic species, three exotic anurans, two threatened reptiles, and one unidentified species of lizard. Species richness was higher in a mixed agricultural area (18 species, n = 108 individuals) compared to secondary growth forest (17 species, n = 86 individuals). This research provides baseline information on the herpetofauna from Mt. Agad-Agad, and additional herpetological knowledge on the distribution and ecology of amphibians and reptiles from the northern Mindanao region.

Authors: Salama Pierre
Published: December 2022

La reinserción de los principales países latinoamericanos en los circuitos financieros internacionales, plantean problemas importantes con respecto al contenido, a los efectos y al contexto de las políticas económicas que aquellos han puesto en práctica. El artículo hace hincapié en el estudio de las relaciones tasa de cambio-inflación-modernización del aparato productivo y aborda, primero, la relación entre la depreciación de la moneda y la inflación y, luego, las relaciones entre la apreciación del cambio, la evolución de los precios y los cambios en el aparato económico, todo ello con el fin de mostrar los límites y los peligros, para las economías latinoamericanas, de su reinserción en los mercados financieros internacionales.
La apertura y la crisis agraria
Authors: Arango Restrepo Mariano
Published: December 2022

La apertura agrícola abatió el crecimiento agropecuario en 1992. En 1993 el crecimiento global fluctúa entre el 2,3% estimado por los gremios y el 2,7% del Gobierno e indicando una recuperación que para éste último es resultado de su política de reactivación y para los primeros del mejor clima pues subsiste la crisis de rentabilidad. Los capítulos dos, tres y cuatro se refieren al comportamiento de la apertura económica, particularmente en 1993, en los reglones de la agricultura comercial, campesina y pecuaria respectivamente.
