Centrifugation is an effective and inexpensive way to determine Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis quantity in water samples with low turbidity
Authors: McMahon Taegan , Katz Tatum , Barnett Kate , Hilgendorff Bridget
Published: March 2023

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a pathogenic chytrid fungus that
is particularly lethal for amphibians. Bd can extirpate amphibian
populations within a few weeks and remain in water in the absence of
amphibian hosts. Most efforts to determine Bd presence and quantity in
the field have focused on sampling hosts, but these data do not give us
a direct reflection of the amount of Bd in the water, which are useful
for parameterizing disease models, and are not effective when hosts are
absent or difficult to sample. Current methods for screening Bd presence
and quantity in water are time, resource, and money intensive. Here, we
developed a streamlined method for detecting Bd in water with low
turbidity (e.g., water samples from laboratory experiments and
relatively clear pond water from a natural lentic system). We
centrifuged water samples with known amounts of Bd to form a pellet and
extracted the DNA from that pellet. This method was highly effective and
the resulting concentrations across all tested treatments presented a
highly linear relationship with the expected values. While the
experimentally-derived values were lower than the inoculation doses, the
values were highly correlated and a conversion factor allows us to
extrapolate the actual Bd concentration. This centrifuge-based method is
effective, repeatable, and would greatly expand the domain of tractable
questions to be explored in the field of Bd ecology. Importantly, this
method increases equity in the field because it is time- and
cost-efficient and requires few resources.
Landscape use by prey: Bottom-up regulation prevails under reduced perception of risk
Authors: Rocha Filipe , Chicomo Milcíades , Lages Fernanda , Monterroso Pedro
Published: March 2023

Proactive antipredator behavior results from a mental construct of
perceived predation risk, and drives prey’s strategies to avoid being
killed while minimizing constraints to their activities. Under this
reasoning, resource specialists may suppress antipredator strategies to
access scarcely available key resources, while proactive antipredator
behavior should be privileged by generalists or when resources are
abundant. We quantified the relative effects of predation- (top-down)
and resource-driven (bottom-up) constraints to spatiotemporal patterns
of landscape use by a prey community in a dynamic system under low
predator abundance, and investigated how prey manage the risk posed by
predators with different hunting strategies. We fitted Royle-Nichols
co-abundance models to camera trapping data collected between 2017 and
2019 in Bicuar National Park (Angola) to assess spatial
association/segregation across predator-prey dyads, while accounting for
the effects of water and food availability during dry and wet seasons.
We further estimated pairwise seasonal differences in diel activity
overlap between predator and prey.Our results depict a generalized
pattern of predator-prey spatial co-abundance, independent of predator’s
hunting strategy or prey’s importance in the predator’s diet, even
overriding the effects of water and forage availability. Further, we
found prey to have higher activity overlap with the ambush than with the
cursorial predator, with little influence of the season or prey
preference. We failed to detect spatiotemporal proactive antipredator
responses either towards the cursorial or ambush predator. The
community-wide predator-prey association patterns we found support that
predation pressure is insufficient to displace prey from their preferred
habitats or to adjust their endogenous clock, and support predominantly
bottom-up regulated behaviors. We suggest that, in landscapes where
predator density is low, limited perception of risk may prevent the
employment of proactive antipredator behavior, likely relegating prey to
rely on reactive responses to short-term predation risk.
Evidence of an aseismic slip continuously driving the 2017 Valparaiso earthquake sequence
Authors: Moutote Luc , Itoh Yuji , Lengliné Olivier , Duputel Zacharie , Socquet Anne
Published: March 2023

Following laboratory experiments and friction theory, slow slip events
and seismicity rate accelerations observed before mainshock are often
interpreted as evidence of a nucleation phase. However, such precursory
observations still remain scarce and are associated with different time
and length scales, raising doubts about their actual preparatory nature.
We study the 2017 Valparaiso Mw= 6.9 earthquake, which was preceded by
aseismic slip accompanied by an intense seismicity both suspected to
reflect its nucleation phase. We complement previous observations, which
have focused only on precursory activity, with a continuous
investigation of seismic and aseismic processes from the foreshock
sequence to the post-mainshock phase. By building a high-resolution
seismicity catalog and searching for anomalous seismicity rate increases
compared to aftershock triggering models, we highlight an
over-productive seismicity starting within the foreshock sequence and
persisting several days after the mainshock. Using repeating earthquakes
and high-rate GPS observations, we highlight a transient aseismic
perturbation starting just before the first foreshock and extending
continuously after the mainshock. The estimated slip rate is lightly
impacted by large magnitude earthquakes and does not accelerate towards
the mainshock. Therefore, the unusual seismic and aseismic activity
observed during the 2017 Valparaiso sequence might be interpreted as the
result of a slow slip event starting before the mainshock and extending
beyond it. Rather than pointing to a possible nucleation phase of the
2017 Valparaiso mainshock, the identified slow slip event acts as an
aseismic loading of nearby faults, increasing the seismic activity, and
thus the likelihood of a large rupture.
The duration threshold of video content observation: An experimental investigation of visual perception efficiency
Authors: Song Jianping , Tang Tianran , Hu Guosheng
Published: March 2023

Visual perception principle of watching video is crucial in ensuring video works accurately and effectively grasped by audience. This article proposes an investigation into the efficiency of human visual perception on video clips considering exposure duration. The study focused on the correlation between the video shot duration and the subject?s perception of visual content. The subjects? performances were captured as perceptual scores on the testing videos by watching time-regulated clips and taking questionnaire. The statistical results show that three-second duration for each video shot is necessary for audience to grasp the main visual information. The data also indicate gender differences in perceptual procedure and attention focus. The findings can help for manipulating clip length in video editing, both via AI tools and manually, maintaining perception efficiency as possible in limited duration. This method is significant for its structured experiment involving subjects? quantified performances, which is different from AI methods of unaccountable.

Authors: Guo Qiang , Li Jing-Feng , Cao Zhi-Guo , Guo Jun-Ting
Published: March 2023

Taking Lingxin Coal Mine as the research object, the combination of physical
experiment and numerical simulation analysis was used to study the mining
failure of overlying strata and the development of surrounding rock cracks
in goaf. The results show that when the underground coal seam mining is not
sufficient, the overburden separation is developed, the connected pore area
of the overburden failure accounts for about 20% of the total mining area.
When the underground coal seam is fully mined, the overburden failure is
severe, the overburden failure cracks are interconnected, and the connected
pore area increases significantly.
Distinct Mechanisms Responsible for the Increase in Glucose Production and Ketone Formation Caused by Empagliflozin in T2DM Patients
Authors: Abdelgani Siham , Khattab Ahmed , Adams John , Abu-Farha Mohamed , Daniele Giuseppe , Al-Mulla Fahd , Del Prato Stefano , DeFronzo Ralph A. , Abdul-Ghani Muhammad
Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVE

To examine the mechanisms responsible for the increase in glucose and ketone production caused by empagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Twelve subjects with T2DM participated in two studies performed in random order. In study 1, endogenous glucose production (EGP) was measured with 8-h infusion of 6,6,D2-glucose. Three hours after the start of 6,6,D2-glucose infusion, subjects ingested 25 mg empagliflozin (n = 8) or placebo (n = 4), and norepinephrine (NE) turnover was measured before and after empagliflozin ingestion with 3H-NE infusion. Study 2 was similar to study 1 but performed under pancreatic clamp conditions.

RESULTS

When empagliflozin was ingested under fasting conditions, EGP increased by 31% in association with a decrease in plasma glucose (−34 mg/dL) and insulin (−52%) concentrations and increases in plasma glucagon (+19%), free fatty acid (FFA) (+29%), and β-hydroxybutyrate (+48%) concentrations. When empagliflozin was ingested under pancreatic clamp conditions, plasma insulin and glucagon concentrations remained unchanged, and the increase in plasma FFA and ketone concentrations was completely blocked, while the increase in EGP persisted. Total-body NE turnover rate was greater in subjects receiving empagliflozin (+67%) compared with placebo under both fasting and pancreatic clamp conditions. No difference in plasma NE concentration was observed in either study.

CONCLUSIONS

The decrease in plasma insulin and increase in plasma glucagon concentration caused by empagliflozin is responsible for the increase in plasma FFA concentration and ketone production. The increase in EGP caused by empagliflozin is independent of the change in plasma insulin or glucagon concentrations and is likely explained by the increase in NE turnover.

Authors: Chareancholvanich Keerati , Tantithawornwat Suphawat , Ruangsomboon Pakpoom , Narkbunnam Rapeepat , Chatmaitri Swist , Pornrattanamaneewong Chaturong
Published: March 2023

Background and purpose: Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) is one of the effective regimens to reduce pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Epinephrine is a commonly used sympathetic adjunct in LIA. It is expected to enhance the intensity and extend the duration of LIA. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of epinephrine on postoperative pain control after primary TKA.Patients and methods: A total of 80 patients who underwent primary TKA were randomized into an epinephrine (EN) and a control (C) group. Postoperative visual analogue pain score (VAPS) and morphine consumption were recorded every 6 hours until 48 hours after operation. The VAPS 6–48 hours were compared using repeated measure statistics. The range of motion (ROM) on discharge and complications were also compared between these 2 groups.Results: The study showed that although VAPS differed statistically between the 2 groups at 12 hours (C higher) and 48 hours (C lower) postoperatively (p = 0.04 and 0.02, respectively), repeated measures analysis revealed that there were no significant differences in 6–48 hours VAPS (p = 0.6). Total morphine consumption in the EN and C groups was 3.4 (SD 3.7) and 4.2 (SD 4.4) mg, respectively (p = 0.4). ROM on discharge was also similar between the groups. No complications were detected in this study.Conclusion: Our study showed that additional epinephrine in LIA had a statistically significant reduction in VAPS at 12 hours and morphine usage during 6–12 hours when compared with the control group. However, the magnitude of difference did not reach minimal clinically importance difference (MCID) value for TKA.
Roles of Efficient Leadership Behavior of Principals/Leaders of School Units
Authors: Raptis Nikolaos
Published: March 2023

The improvement of school unit efficiency is pursued today by those who are involved in the design of educational policy at national and transnational level. Pressure towards this direction is even more imperative today because of technological developments, competitiveness, and worldwide challenges (Middlewood et al., 2018). Bush et al. (2019) argue that learning, immediately after teaching quality, is associated at a secondary but still important level with school leadership and sociocultural context in which it is shaped. Within the context of the above, this study aims to showcase the view of primary education teachers of South Aegean about the leadership behaviors of the leaders of the school units at which they are employed. The particularity of this study lies in the approach of the subject since the above-mentioned objective is studied at two levels: a) At “implementation” level and b) At “desirable” level. The main research finding is the existence of a statistically significant differentiation of leadership behavior between the implementation and the desirable level.

Authors: Saber Sadia , Islam Chowdhury Md. Faizul , Hossain Mohammad Monower , Islam MD. Rafayel
Published: March 2023

Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis has infected around 1.7 billion people around the world so far and has been categorized as one of the top 10 causes of mortality globally. The rate of infection is increasing every year mainly 30 high TB burden countries. Due to high density of population every year the number of Tuberculosis (TB) patients are increasing in Bangladesh.

Objective: To analyze the clinical profiles and radiological features of the pleural fluid (PF) among tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) patients attending Bangladesh Medical College, Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Methods: This is a hospital-record based cross sectional observational study executed in a tertiary care teaching hospital, Dhanmondi, Dhaka. The study group comprises 182 diagnosed tuberculous pleural effusion patients enrolled in our Bangladesh Medical College Hospital from July 2020 to June 2022. Analysis of data was done by using SPSS 15 software.

Results: In our observational study we found that tuberculous pleural effusion was predominant in the male gender (62%) with predominant age group of 31-40 years (36.26%). Among various clinical manifestations the predominant features were fever (89.56%), chest pain (63.19%) and night sweats (51.09%). Duration of TPE patients was 16-30 days (69.78%) when they presented to us. During BMI measurements we found that 56.59% of our patients were within normal BMI range and only 7.14% were undernourished indicating the assumption that low BMI or undernutrition is not a vulnerability factor anymore. 72% of our TPE patients belonged from urban locality. During radiological analysis of pleural fluid through chest x ray we have observed that 60.98% cases were right sided small (65.38%) pleural effusion and 36.81% had loculated pleural effusion. 59.89% of our patients got cured with anti TB medications but we lost follow ups to some of our study populations 15.93%. There were no mortality records during our study period.

Conclusion: Most common manifestations of tuberculous pleural effusion were low grade fever and chest pain. TPE was predominant among young adults in our study which we need to be more attentive during our diagnosis and treating patients with pleural effusion.

SHE THINKS, HE SAYS: THE VOICE OF THE OTHER IN NOBEL LAUREATES’ GENDERED LITERATURE
Authors: Amamio Regie Panadero
Published: March 2023

The gendered language system is often used in literary works to present distinct character perspectives however, the issue of representation is accentuated when a writer presents a perspective of a different gender. Kawabata Yasunari and Gabriel Garcia Marquez who depicted female perspectives in their stories, have to face the issue of reliability of representation: theirs is argued asa patriarchal perception of a female’s perspective. Employing Spivak’s argument in Can the Subaltern Speak?, this paper positioned her statement as “through the perspective of the West (men), subaltern (women) become/s dependent on them (men) to speak for their condition rather than allowing them to speak for themselves.” This paper discussed the gendered language by examining the characters’ uncertain finitude utilizing Asher-Greve’s established gender markers to identify gender associations. Withthe stories of the two Nobel Laureates, this paper has established that through exploring the narrators’ usage of gendered language, both writers have inadvertently revealed their own male biases. The narrators of both writers turned out to be the voice of the other not because they have truthfully and successfully spoken for the marginalized; instead, they have become estranged voices of the subjects they are supposed to represent.Hence, the voices that cry for connection and understanding.

Silver-hydroxyapatite (Ag-HA) nanocomposite coating on stainless steel (316L) sheets was prepared by electroless deposition. Several studies have analysed the influence of bath composition on the corrosion behaviour of Ag-HA bio-nanocomposite coating produced by electroless deposition. Therefore, the present study compared the influence of varying concentrations of HA nanoparticles (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5) g/L on the mechanical (microhardness) and chemical (corrosion resistance and ion release) properties of the Ag-HA nanocomposite coating. The Ag-HA nanocomposite coating exhibited a remarkable increase in microhardness from 104.7 Hv to 139.9 Hv at 0.5 g/L HA nanoparticles and improved corrosion resistance, where the corrosion rate was enhanced for the coating from 5.954×10-1 mpy to 2.633×10-2 mpy in the presence of nano-HA. The ion release analysis of the element coating revealed that the nickel content was within the permissible limit in accordance with the amount of Ni permitted to exist inside the human body, and chromium was not found.

Authors: Abdulazeez Aisha Nabeel , Abdulridha Abdulkhalik J.
Published: March 2023

This paper presented an experimental study of external rehabilitation of damaged Reinforced Concrete (RC) Beams with Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets. The primary objective is to study the shear behavior of four simply supported beam specimens with an total length of 1700mm, a width of 150 mm, and a depth of 250 mm was tested under a monotonic two-point load. The variable used in this study was the specimen damage ratio (50%, 60%, and 70%), while the layout of CFRP sheets and shear-span to effective depth ratio (a/d = 2.5) were kept constant. The design of the examined beams was according to ACI 318M-19 to ensure shear failure. From this study, it was concluded that external rehabilitation with U-shape CFRP sheets offered a very adequate and efficient rehabilitation method for damaged RC beams. Each beam's behavior was examined concerning the crack pattern, first crack load, load-deflection and ultimate load. The CFRP rehabilitation has improved the ultimate load capacity of damaged beams by about 10.91% to 15.96% compared with the expected remaining ultimate load capacity of control specimens without rehabilitation, as well as an increment in the deflection of mid-span from  -6.81%, 24.11% at an ultimate load.

Published: March 2023

Artistic and cultural buildings play a vital role in protecting national and cultural identity. Therefore, the necessity of adopting modern technologies when constructing and maintaining such buildings has become a necessity, especially with the continued growth of the construction industry and a move towards sustainable construction. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a technology used to simplify and improve business performance in the construction industry while saving time and money. This paper aims to find the justifications for conducting research on the importance of using BIM to promote a sustainable economy in Iraqi artistic and cultural projects. This paper was conducted through literature reviews and field surveys of experts in such buildings. The results showed that there is a weak government effort to implement BIM and the owner does not request the use of BIM in the design and implementation of projects. In addition, BIM can also contribute to the efficient use of natural and industrial resources while reducing attrition and waste and improving energy efficiency by reducing energy consumption and using renewable energy. Accordingly, the researcher recommended the importance of conducting research on the importance of using BIM when creating artistic and cultural projects, in addition to the necessity of educating future generations about the concepts of sustainability and sustainable economy on a larger scale and the necessity of using biotechnology that preserves the environment and natural resources, as well as the necessity of educating the concerned authorities on how to do that.

Published: March 2023

The total area of Indonesian waters exceeds the land area, so the sea becomes one of the land community's livelihoods. Majority of the Bajo ethnic community work as traditional diver fisherman. This study examined trust community and their occupational safety and health behavior related to decompression sickness in Ethnic Bajo Divers. This type of research was qualitative, using an ethnographic study approach. Key informants in this study were ethnic Bajo divers who experienced and did not have paralysis. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, sources, methods, and time triangulation. The beliefs and traditions of ethnic Bajo divers were related to safety and prevention. Decompression was before diving, asking for safety from the Almighty Creator by saying greetings and basmalah and praying before diving, which was a form of permission to The Guardian of the Sea. The Personal Protective Equipment that must be used were glasses (wooden/traditional glasses or glasses Ventara/modern). Decompression was understood as a disease cold with symptoms of cramps in the lower limbs obtained the result of diving for a long time at a certain depth to find seawater that was yellow like oil and very cold. Bajo tribe divers perform decompression treatment based on local wisdom and instill occupational health and safety behaviors and convince themselves by praying and saying basmallah before diving.
Occurrence of the harvest mouse (Micromys minutus) and the hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius) in Slovakia based on summer nests (2013–2021)
Authors: Csanády Alexander
Published: March 2023

The author states the occurrence of harvest mouse (Micromys minutus (Pallas, 1771)) and hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius (Linnaeus, 1758)) in the East Slovakia based on summer nests from field margins, hedgerows, and woodland edges. A total of 791 (551 M. minutus and 240 M. avellanarius) nests from 71 localities were observed over the years 2013–2021. The total elevation range of these sites was between 110 – 560 m a.s.l., with different ratio recorded for both species. For M. minutus 15 plant species and for M. avellanarius 16 plant species were confirmed, with different dominance of their use. A statistically significant difference was confirmed by Mann-Whitney U test comparing both species for two common plants i.e., Prunus spinosa L. (U = 866.0, p = 0.012) and Rubus plicatus Weihe & Nees (U = 1103.0, p ˂ 0.0001). Moreover, Spearman’s correlations confirmed significant relationships between the positions of nests and plant height. At the same time, 12 individuals of M. minutus and 8 individuals of M. avellanarius were confirmed dead or escaping directly from their nests. Analysis of the composition of the leaves in the M. avellanarius nests showed the following proportions. Leaves of the three species R. plicatus (66.2%), Carpinus betulus L. (14.5%), and P. spinosa (8.3%) were most common in mixed nests. For foliar nests, a ratio of two dominant species, R. plicatus (50.0%) and C. betulus (41.6%), was recorded. Finally, for the layered nests, a ratio of two dominant species, R. plicatus (50.0%) and C. betulus (33.3%) was recorded. The obtained data help spreading knowledge of both species in the territory of Slovakia.
Cyber Operations against Critical Financial Infrastructure: a Non-Destructive Armed Attack?
Authors: Spáčil Jakub
Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to the issue of the use of force in self-defense against cyber operations aimed at financial and banking infrastructure that cause only economic (non-material) damage. The article deals with the relationship between the described type of cyber operation and economic coercion, presenting the conclusion that these are different acts, which are subject to a different regime of international law regulation. Attention is also paid to the analytical approaches that can be used to bring cyber operations under the regime of the regulation of the use of force. The main contribution of the article is to capture the evolution of the scholarly debate and state practice in relation to non-destructive cyber operations in the period after the publication of Tallinn Manual 2.0 (post-2017), concluding that even non-destructive cyber operations (including cyber operations against critical financial infrastructure) can fulfil the characteristics of both use of force and armed attack, based on newly available sources, in particular official national positions on the application of international law in cyberspace published by states.
International Legal Personality of Transnational Corporations – Any Chance for the Theoretical Shift with Respect to a Legally Binding Instrument on Human Rights and TNCs?
Authors: Bureš Pavel
Published: March 2023

Multinational enterprises or transnational corporations are big and influential actors on international scene. Their economic activities might have unfortunately a negative impact on human rights or environment. Current international law does not have any concrete and satisfactory answer to such situation of lacking direct substantial human rights obligations with respect to transnational corporations and corresponding procedural mechanism. Often, this situation is substantiated by missing or unclear concept of international legal personality of those entities. The present article presents international legal personality of transnational corporations from the perspective of the Legally biding instrument on human rights and TNCs drafted by inter-governmental working group. After portraying general features of international legal personality, the author tends to conciliate basic theoretical concept with the TNCs situation. Then the author presents a deep analysis of the Legally binding instrument and comes to the conclusions of maturing international legal personality of transnational corporations.

The objective of this article is to determine the scope of prosecuting economic abuse in context of domestic violence. Desk research methodology based on case study is used: qualitative content research of Lithuanian case law. The findings of the research suggest that prosecution of economic abuse as a specific form of domestic violence is rather limited in Lithuania: i.e., criminalization is only partial; law enforcement faces difficulties in recognizing and evidencing it; the case law is not adequate (e. g., prosecution mostly focuses on physical violence, it is incident-based, ignores the specifics of domestic violence and economic abuse is commonly interpreted as context of systemic violence but not an independent basis for prosecution). Accordingly, there is a need to enhance criminal law response to economic abuse and explore for the optimal alternative to ensure this in Lithuania.

Authors: Chen Junyuan
Published: March 2023

This study examined how Japanese instructors utilize scaffolding strategies during classroom teaching. By closely investigating the question-answer interaction that occurred in an elementary-level Japanese class through Conversation Analysis (CA), this study categorized four types of scaffolding strategies utilized by the Japanese instructors: partial answer, asking further questions, gestures, and giving more information. Findings also uncovered how Japanese teachers utilized these specific scaffolding tactics when students encountered difficulties in the language classroom. Then, this study discussed a more generalized frame of scaffolding strategies in question-answer interaction in the Japanese language classroom. Finally, the conclusion indicated the pedagogical implication of scaffolding strategies in Japanese language teacher education.

En las últimas décadas, la demanda de agua se ha incrementado y con ello la necesidad de almacenar los escurrimientos de forma artificial. Así, han surgido las presas de almacenamiento, estructuras consideradas de alto riesgo en caso de falla. La obra de excedencias de la presa Endhó presenta daños importantes en las losas de revestimiento del canal de descarga, específicamente en la parte final de la rápida, en lo correspondiente a la trayectoria, que entrega el agua al estanque amortiguador, lo cual pone en riesgo la estabilidad del embalse. De acuerdo con las características geológicas e hidráulicas de la obra es probable que la fuerza de subpresión sea la causa principal del desgaste, ruptura y desprendimiento de las losas. Para determinar las causas que originan la falla, se construyó un modelo físico escala 1:100, donde se cumplieron las leyes de similitud (Froude) y semejanza (geométrica, cinemática y dinámica) y se simuló el flujo subterráneo con suelo de la presa. El gasto máximo que se transitó sobre la obra de excedencias fue de 11 l/s (1 100 m3/s en el prototipo); se operó durante 240 h continuas. Con siete sensores de presión se registraron valores en la zona de interés y se obtuvieron datos hasta de 9 220 kgf/m2 (prototipo). Los valores de subpresión obtenidos en el modelo físico fueron mayores que los estimados con la metodología de Lane. El análisis estructural indica que el peso de la estructura no es suficiente para contrarrestar la subpresión en la rápida parabólica.

The forecast of river stream flows is of significant importance for the development of early warning systems. Artificial intelligence algorithms have proven to be an effective tool in hydrological modeling data-driven, since they allow establishing relationships between input and output data of a watershed and thus make decisions data-driven. This article investigates the applicability of the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm for forecasting the mean daily flows of the Ramis river, at the Ramis hydrometric station. As input to the KNN machine learning algorithm, we used a data set of mean basin precipitation and mean daily flow from hydrometeorological stations with various lags. The performance of the KNN algorithm was quantitatively evaluated with hydrological ability metrics such as mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), anomaly correlation coefficient (ACC), Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), Kling-Gupta efficiency (KGE') and the spectral angle (SA). The results for forecasting the flows of the Ramis river with the k-nearest neighbor machine learning algorithm reached high levels of reliability with flow lags of one and two days and precipitation with three days. The algorithm used is simple but robust to make short-term flow forecasts and can be integrated as an alternative to strengthen the daily hydrological forecast of the Ramis river.
Стоянка Постников овраг в свете концепции А.Х. Халикова о сибирских культурных традициях в позднем палеолите Среднего Поволжья

Концепция А.Х. Халикова о вхождении Среднего Поволжья и Приуралья в ареал воздействия культурных традиций Сибири в конце эпохи палеолита, созданная им на основе материалов стоянки Постников овраг, изученной В.В. Гольмстен в г. Самаре, рассматривается в свете современных данных по позднему палеолиту Урала и Южной Сибири. Представлены различные точки зрения на характер аналогий в материальной культуре Постникова оврага, стоянки им. Талицкого и ряда сибирских памятников позднего палеолита. По мнению автора статьи, концепция А.Х. Халикова на сегодняшний день не подтверждается фактами напрямую, которые рисуют более сложную картину. Однако изыскания в данном направлении продолжаются и не исключена возможность вернуться к идее А.Х. Халикова в будущем на новых материалах. Стоянки Постников овраг на Средней Волге и Талицкого в Предуралье остаются опорными в дискуссии о генезисе индустрий позднего палеолита Поволжья, Урала и Зауралья.
Памятники археологии на территории г. Самары: анализ топографии и перспективы сохранения
Authors: Сташенков Дмитрий Алексеевич , Кочкина Анна Федоровна
Published: March 2023

На территории современного города Самары известно около 50 памятников археологии всех эпох – от палеолита до Нового времени. При картографировании памятников четко выявляется приуроченность памятников определенных эпох к различным топографическим зонам. Памятники эпохи палеолита и мезолита в черте города сосредоточены в основном на волжской террасе, неолита – в пойме и на первой надпойменной террасе р. Самара. Поселения бронзового века зафиксированы как на первой волжской террасе, так и преимущественно по правому и левому берегу Самары, а также в районе карстовых озер на водоразделах. Большинство поселений этой эпохи оставлено населением срубной культуры. Археологические памятники раннего железного века и раннего средневековья на территории города представлены поселениями, разрозненными погребениями, а также случайными находками. Поселения выявлены на первой волжской террасе, погребения кочевого населения приурочены либо к самарской пойме, к пойменным озерам, либо к карстовым озерам на водоразделах. Памятники золотоордынского времени выявлены на первой террасе Волги. Учет закономерностей расположения археологических памятников будет полезен при планировании археологических работ в зоне хозяйственного освоения. Современное состояние ряда памятников позволяет при условии заинтересованности муниципалитета использовать их для популяризации археологического наследия, в том числе через создание музеефицированных комплексов. Первый опыт подобных работ в Самаре уже имеется. Важно оценить, насколько эти попытки соответствуют современным представлениям о музеефикации археологических объектов в городском пространстве.
