Published: December 2024

Oropouche fever (OROV fever) is an emerging arbovirus disease caused by Oropouche virus (OROV). The virus was reported to have a limited circulation in Central and South America, but there is a real possibility of international spread in a near future. Considering the current outbreak of OROV fever in the Region of the Americas, the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) has already published, in 2024, one Epidemiological Alert followed by two Epidemiological Updates. A total of 10,275 cases were confirmed in nine American countries, including imported cases in the United States of America and Canada. Moreover, 30 imported cases were reported, for the first time, in three European countries. Knowledge about OROV fever is still limited. The main clinical manifestations, similar to common arbovirus diseases, include fever, headache, arthralgia, myalgia, bleeding and rash. Gingival bleeding has been reported, and possible oral mucosal lesions could be described in a near future. The disease is usually mild and self-limiting, but severe complications, death and vertical transmission may occur. This article reviews OROV fever, addressing possible oral manifestations as well as the potential contribution of the dental community to a prompt diagnosis and management.
TEK PARTİ DÖNEMİNDE BİTLİS’TE CUMHURİYET BAYRAMI KUTLAMALARI
Authors: Kardaş Abdulaziz
Published: December 2024

Millî bayramlar, toplum bireylerini ortak duygu ve ideoloji etrafında birleştiren önemli unsurlar arasında yer alır. Osmanlı Devleti’nde İkinci Meşrutiyet döneminden itibaren millî bayramlar kutlanmaya başlanmış ve bu anlayış 29 Ekim 1923’te Cumhuriyetin ilanı ile kurulan yeni devlet tarafından sürdürülmüştür. Devlet yöneticileri Cumhuriyetin ilan tarihini bayram olarak kutlamayı kararlaştırmış ve düzenlenen törenlerle kutlanmıştır. 1925’te TBMM’de çıkarılan kanunla 29 Ekim günü millî bayram olarak kabul edilmiş ve resmî törenlerle kutlamalar yapılmıştır. Cumhuriyetin 10. yılına kadar bayram kutlama süresi kısa ve kapsamı dar tutulmuştur. Bu tarihten itibaren Cumhuriyet Bayramının kapsamı genişletilmiş ve tüm yurtta coşkuyla kutlanması için büyük gayret sarf edilmiştir.
Bitlis, Tek Parti döneminde Cumhuriyet Bayramı kutlamalarının özenle yapıldığı şehirlerden olmuştur. Bayram kutlamaları, CHP Genel Sekreterliğinden gönderilen talimatnameye uygun olarak oluşturulan komitenin hazırladığı programlar çerçevesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bitlis’te kutlamalar merkezle sınırlı kalmamış kaza, köy ve nahiyelerde halkın ve resmi yetkililerin katılımıyla yapılmıştır. Kutlamalarda katılımın en üst düzeyde olmasına dikkat edilmiş ve gündüz ve gece yapılan etkinliklerde şiirler okunmuş, konuşmalar yapılmış, fener alayları ve balolar düzenlenmiştir. Kutlama törenlerinde köylülerin de katılmasına önem verilmiş ve devlet ile halkın bu kutlamalar vasıtasıyla bütünleşmesine gayret edilmiştir.
Annotated review of the mammal fauna in the Chornobyl Biosphere Reserve as of 2023
Authors:   Chornobyl Center for Nuclear Safety, Radioactive Waste and Radioecology (Slavutych, Ukraine), Gashchak Sergii
Published: December 2024

The review of mammals recorded in the Chornobyl Radiation-Ecological Biosphere Reserve (established in 2016, covering 2273 of the 2600 km² area of the former exclusion zone) is carried out for the second time in the entire history of studies in the region. In addition to presenting a checklist of the local mammal fauna, the review details the changes that have taken place over the last 20 years. In total, 61 species have been recorded in the Reserve (compared to 49 in 2006), representing 7 orders and 19 families. Among them, 10–11 species are non-native, of which 5 were introduced in the last 25–70 years. The rest of the species are autochthonous. Nine species are considered to be phantom species, meaning that they are known from neighbouring areas but have not been found in the Reserve. Twenty-two species have protected status in Ukraine (Red Data Book of Ukraine, 2021), and 6 in Europe (IUCN Red List, 2024). The changes in the checklist of the Reserve’s mammal fauna have mainly resulted from more intense studies and using revised approaches. Research on bats alone has added nine species to the list of mammals. Additionally, feral domestic animals (cats, dogs, and cattle) have been included in the checklist as they have formed established wild populations. Only two species, the golden jackal and the European bison, arrived naturally in the Reserve for the first time. The abundance of most species shows significant long-term and seasonal fluctuations, influenced by climate change, disease, shifts in vegetation, wildfires, floods, intraspecies dynamics, and occasionally human activity. Certain species (lynx, Przewalski’s horse, and bear) continue to increase in number, while the red deer has shifted from being a non-abundant to a dominant species. At the same time, there is limited information on rare and conditionally non-abundant species as they often fall outside the scope of research due to the difficulty of their study. This consideration is not reasonable as those species constitute a substantial portion of the checklist, and many of them are protected species. Nevertheless, the current state of the mammal fauna demonstrates the positive impact of nature conservation and the stable development of autochthonous populations, reinforcing the view that the Chornobyl Radiation-Ecological Biosphere Reserve is a highly valuable wildlife sanctuary in both Ukraine and Europe.

Kuningamäe(d)

The name(s) Kuningamäe

Keywords: linguistics, Estonian, place names, foreign names, name planning, socio-onomastics

This article examines Estonian place names containing the term kuningas ‘king’. The earliest records of Kuninga-names date back to the 16th century. The Place Names Archive of the Institute of the Estonian Language lists more than 200 place names beginning with Kuning(a)-. By comparison, terms denoting other noble ranks are significantly less common: there are 86 names starting with krahv ‘count’, 43 with parun ‘baron’, 29 each with keiser ‘emperor’ and prints ‘prince’, four with vürst ‘prince’ (from the German Würst), and one with hertsog ‘duke’.

Kuningamäe is a typical Estonian compound place name, composed of kuningas : kuninga ‘king’ + mägi : mäe ‘hill, mountain’. One instance of Kuningamäe is a translation of the German Königsberg, referring to a village near Põltsamaa. Notably, the renowned Königsberg of East Prussia was not translated into Estonian; the German name was retained instead. When Poland reverted the name Kaliningrad to its historical Polish equivalent Królewiec, a parallel debate arose in Estonia. However, Estonia lacks a formal mechanism for standardizing foreign names. Instead, the writing of foreign place names in Estonian is largely guided by the dictionary of standard Estonian.

The act of naming is often more than linguistic; it can reflect political, cultural, historical, and societal considerations. This interplay makes it a rich area of study within socio-onomastics.

Published: December 2024

O estudo teve como objetivo analisar as relações entre papéis ocupacionais e saúde mental de estudantes do curso de Terapia Ocupacional de uma universidade no Norte do Brasil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa, transversal e correlacional, com coleta de dados realizada de forma remota via Google Forms®, utilizando a Escala de Depressão, Ansiedade e Estresse (DASS-21) e a Lista de Identificação de Papéis Ocupacionais. A análise quantitativa empregou testes não paramétricos, sendo o coeficiente de Spearman utilizado para as análises correlacionais. A amostra foi composta por 138 estudantes, predominantemente do sexo feminino (86,23%). Os resultados revelaram alta prevalência de sofrimento mental: 49,37% dos participantes apresentaram algum grau de depressão, e 66,67% relataram níveis variados de ansiedade. Identificou-se uma correlação negativa entre a importância atribuída ao papel de trabalhador e os níveis de depressão, sugerindo que a experiência de trabalho pode atuar como fator protetor. Por outro lado, houve correlação positiva entre o papel de voluntário e os níveis de ansiedade, indicando uma possível sobrecarga de responsabilidades. Além disso, o avanço nos anos do curso foi associado ao aumento nos níveis de estresse. Conclui-se que os papéis ocupacionais influenciam significativamente a saúde mental dos estudantes, evidenciando a necessidade de intervenções voltadas ao bem-estar dessa população. O estudo destaca a importância de pesquisas futuras que aprofundem essas dinâmicas no contexto brasileiro e em outros países da América Latina.
Tree Species Composition of Barro Colorado Island in a Wider Context: The Canal Area and the Nation of Panama
Authors: Condit Richard
Published: December 2024

Barro Colorado Island is a center for tropical ecology because of its undisturbed old-growth forest. I arrived in Panama with a focus on the 50-ha plot but soon learned that nearby forests have many tree species not known at Barro Colorado, leading me to design a network of forest inventories across the isthmus with the goal of quantifying forest variation. I discovered turnover in species in every direction from Barro Colorado, even within 10 km of the island. Much of this variation is due to rainfall and geology, and the 50-ha plot has a relatively dry, phosphorus-rich tree community. At a wider scale, I assembled a checklist of Panama’s entire tree flora and discovered that tree species of the 50-ha plot are mostly wide-ranging—far more so than average species of the complete flora. Long-term survey plots provide strong results on the demography of common and widespread species, but they are not effective at capturing narrow endemics.
Observational Studies of Conspecific Negative Density Dependence on Barro Colorado Island, Panama
Authors: Milici Valerie R.
Published: December 2024

Explaining how such high numbers of tree species can coexist in tropical forests has long posed a challenge for ecologists. Coexistence is more likely if species have a more negative effect on neighboring individuals of their own species (conspecifics) than of other species (heterospecifics). As result, numerous ecological studies have looked for evidence of such negative effects of conspecific neighbors. Here we review observational studies of conspecific negative-density/distance dependence (CNDD) conducted on Barro Colorado Island (BCI) over the past four decades. Taken together, these studies provide evidence for the widespread existence of CNDD in the BCI tree community. Yet, the studies also reveal that the strength and prevalence of CNDD vary among life stages and species. Future work is needed to quantify the cumulative effect of CNDD across the full life cycle and determine whether CNDD contributes to the maintenance of high tree species diversity in the BCI forest.

Published: December 2024

TRACT. Comparisons among sites varying in climate and soils can yield important insights into the mechanisms shaping forest carbon stocks and fluxes. Research at a network of small plots spanning regional variation in central Panama, including a strong regional rainfall gradient and high geological heterogeneity, provides excellent opportunities for such comparisons, and places findings for Barro Colorado Island (BCI) in a broader context. Here, we examine regional variation in climate, soils, and land use history and discuss associated datasets. We then review previous work and present updated analyses of among-plot variation in aboveground biomass, aboveground woody productivity, and tree mortality rates with dry-season severity and soil fertility. We enumerate the different types of complementary datasets that have been collected in subsets of these plots, which offer opportunities to investigate alternative hypotheses regarding underlying mechanisms, and close with a discussion of promising directions for future research.
The Ecological Effects of Lightning in a Tropical Forest
Authors: Yanoviak Stephen P. , Gora Evan , Gutierrez Cesar , Burchfield Jeffrey C. , Bitzer Phillip M.
Published: December 2024

Lightning is a common source of disturbance in many tropical forests, but its effects on tropical plants and forest dynamics remain poorly understood. In 2014, we established a unique lightning monitoring system in the Barro Colorado Nature Monument. Data from 93 strikes showed that lightning is an important agent of mortality for the largest trees in this forest and, on average, each strike kills 5.3 trees within 13 months. Mechanistic models indicate that large trees are most likely to be directly struck, and the probability of subsequent death varies interspecifically. Lightning is responsible for 20.1% of new gap area formed, and 16.1% of woody biomass turnover in this forest annually. Although lightning frequency is relatively high in the BCNM, field observations suggest that the per-strike effects are similar in other tropical forests. This ongoing research is revealing that lightning, although often overlooked, has important ecological effects in tropical forests.
Alseis blackiana: An Oxymoronic Shade-Tolerant Pioneer Tree Species
Authors: Dalling James W.
Published: December 2024

Tropical trees are often classified into two groups—that is, “shade-tolerant” species and “light-demanding” or “pioneer” species—based on their ability to persist as seedlings in the understory and their light requirements for seed germination and establishment. Although these classifications are largely robust, one exception exists on Barro Colorado Island (BCI). Alseis blackiana Hemsl. (Rubiaceae) couples the early life-history traits of a pioneer species—germination exclusively in high light—with one of the lowest sapling mortality rates in the tree community. High juvenile survival in the understory allows Alseis to achieve high abundance on the island. However, unlike other shade-tolerant trees that construct tough, nutritionally poor, and long-lived leaves that are unpalatable to most herbivores, Alseis achieves shade tolerance despite many of the opposite traits—thin, short-lived, nitrogen-rich leaves. Shade tolerance in Alseis is likely a consequence of high leaf display efficiency coupled with tolerance of damage and high resprouting capacity.
The Two Cryptic Species of Trema micrantha of Barro Colorado Island
Authors: Pizano Camila
Published: December 2024

Trema micranthaha (L.) Blume, a light-demanding pioneer tree widely distributed in the Americas, includes four clades, two of which are present in the Barro Colorado Nature Monument (BCNM). Brown Trema, which has a brown seed endocarp, occurs mainly on landslides where mineral soil is exposed, and black Trema, which has a black endocarp, is found mainly in large treefall gaps in the interior of the forest. In addition to genetic differences, these cryptic species, with long-lasting seeds that remain in soil seed banks, contrast in seed dormancy and germination requirements, seed defenses, and seed-associated fungal communities that affect seed survival and germination. Moreover, field and greenhouse studies have shown that differences in soil abiotic (soil nutrients) and biotic (soil microbes) conditions, as well as herbivores, determine habitat segregation of these species. Thus, phylogenetic and ecological data are key to improving our understanding of how abiotic and biotic habitat variation mediate differentiation among tropical cryptic species.
The Liverworts and Hornworts of Barro Colorado Island

Published: December 2024

The 174 species of bryophytes known for Barro Colorado Island (BCI) include 85 liverworts (Marchantiophyta) and 1 hornwort (Anthocerotophyta), in addition to 92 mosses. Among the liverworts, the family Lejeuneaceae is dominant and accounts for 40% of the entire bryophyte flora, as is typical of wet tropical lowland forests. Most species are widely distributed in the Neotropics, although one species is thus far known only from BCI. Epiphyllous liverworts (liverworts living on leaves) are abundant on BCI and have been the subject of several ecological studies focusing on species distribution, succession, and the influence of humidity and light on species growth. Future studies should monitor community structure and dynamics and evaluate potential effects of disturbance and climate change using permanent plots and laboratory experiments. Analyses of population genetics and barcoding of the BCI bryophyte flora are also highly desired.
The Barro Colorado Island Liana Oligarchy: Dominance, Distribution, and Traits of the 10 Most Common Liana Species

Published: December 2024

The 10 most dominant liana species of the Barro Colorado Island (BCI) 50-ha plot, which we refer to as the liana oligarchy, included 46.5% of the total rooted liana stems and 37% of the total rooted liana basal area in 2017. The oligarchs belonged to nine genera and eight plant families. Oligarchic species were widely distributed within the plot and all of them increased in density from 2007 until 2017, although there was variability in the level of stem density increase among species. Oligarchic species also varied in mean and maximum stem diameter, seed size, and their capacity for clonal reproduction. All oligarchs utilized stem-twining to climb, half were wind-dispersed and half animal dispersed, and half grew as self-standing saplings, whereas half were obligate climbers at the seedling stage. The high taxonomic, demographic, and functional diversity demonstrates that lianas have many successful strategies to reach numerical dominance in tropical forests.
Looking Forward to the Next 100 Years of Plant and Ecosystem Science at Barro Colorado
Authors: Muller-Landau Helene , Wright Joseph
Published: December 2024

Here we look ahead to the next century of research at Barro Colorado and make recommendations on how we can build on the rich legacy of the first 100 years. Major still-open questions include global change effects on tropical forests, determinants of carbon residence time, mechanisms of plant species coexistence, and drivers and impacts of spatiotemporal variation in plant species composition. We recommend adding value to the existing research legacy by expanding resources for plant identifi?cation; providing institutional support for data archiving and data management; and ensuring the continuation of long-term observational and experimental studies. We rec?ommend expanding climate monitoring to include water table depth and more; collecting additional dimensions of plant trait data including spectral reflectance, chemical composition, three-dimensional structure, and genomics; deepening plant species collections to include biological repositories enabling future tissue analyses; expanding monitoring of forest plots to include laser scanning, larger areas, and plants other than trees; and facilitating multisite studies.

Dynamic expression of heat-shock and acid-tolerance related genes of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus LBB.B5 in milk
Authors: Terzieva-nakeva Miroslava , Urshev Zoltan
Published: December 2024

Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus is a central species in the production of fermented dairy food. However, from the point of view of starter culture production this species is extremely sensitive to freeze-drying. Therefore, it is essential to understand the physiological processes and adaptation mechanisms of the bacterial cell, especially its response to factors such as heat-, cold- and acid stress. Here we report the results of the dynamic expression monitoring of heat/cold-shock related genes (hsp60 and cspA) and genes putatively contributing to acid-tolerance (ornB, thrB and thrC) in L. delbr. ssp. bulgaricus LBB.B5 grown in milk. These genes were selected as hsp60 and cspA encode a heat-shock and a cold-shock protein, respectively, while ornB encodes an ornithine decarboxylase, related to acid tolerance in this species. Genes thrB and thrC are involved in threonine synthesis and are of particular interest as unlike the majority of amino-acids, the threonine synthesis pathway is conserved in all L. delbr. ssp. bulgaricus strains. Expression levels were monitored by RT-qPCR for 7 hours of fermentation at 42oC and then until the 24th hour under cold storage at 4oC. Samples at 3h were used as control.
Two distinct patterns in the expression dynamics of the analysed genes were observed. Genes cspA, ornB, thrB and thrC, followed a pattern with maximal expression at 5h of the fermentation with levels of 11.6, 6.8, 3.9 and 2.4 times the control, respectively. Maximal expression levels coincided with the transition of the culture from exponential to stationary phase at a pH threshold of 5.0. Gene hsp60 showed a different pattern with gradually increasing expression throughout the hole fermentation process, including after cold storage when expression level reached 6.4 times the control.
The upregulation of threonine biosynthesis and of a cold-shock protein synthesis with the onset of the stationary phase may suggest that together with the activity of ornithine decarboxylase, they go beyond their function of serving the amino-acid anabolism or managing cold stress, but rather facilitate the transition of the cells to stationary phase and/or their adaptation to acidic conditions. The gradual upregulation of hsp60 on the other hand may reflect the adaptation of the cells to growth at higher temperature (42oC) and subsequent transfer to cold storage.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to obtain high-polyphenol and -fiber bread with acceptable physical and sensory properties by using brans and flours of selected red and white wheat genotypes. For this purpose, breads obtained from bran-enriched flours (% bran:wheat ratios: 10:90, 20:80, 30:70) of different red or white wheats were characterized for their polyphenol content, antioxidant activity (ABTS and DPPH methods), dietary fiber content, and physical (volume and weight, symmetry and crumb pore structure, crust and crumb color) and sensory properties for two succeeding harvesting years. The increase of bran content of flours up to 30% caused significant increases in total dietary fiber (3-fold), and phenolic content (1.6-fold) and antioxidant activity (2-fold) of breads. The antioxidant parameters and dietary fiber content of bread improved when flour and bran of red wheat genotypes were used instead of those of white wheat genotypes. The bran-enrichment reduced the physical quality parameters such as specific volume, pore structure and symmetry of obtained breads, but sensory properties (color, taste, odor, appearance, overall quality) of breads were acceptable even at 30% bran content. Combination of selected high-fiber and -polyphenol brans with strong flour wheat cultivars gives highly functional bread with acceptable quality.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To compare the progression of muscle fibrosis of various site and its relation between cardiac deterioration in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In this study aimed to examine the associations between echocardiogram-based cardiac function indices and fibrosis of the abdominal and lower extremity muscles in patients with DMD to facilitate early detection of cardiac dysfunction and identify its predictors.Methods: Twenty-one patients with DMD patients were enrolled in the study. The association between cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis of the abdominal and lower extremity muscles was determined by analyzing the echocardiography and elastography. Non-parametric Spearman rank correlation coefficients were used to examine the pairwise relationships between cardiac function and muscle elasticity.Results: All patients were male and non-ambulant. Their mean age was 18.45±4.28 years. The strain ratios of the abdominal muscle and quadriceps muscles were significantly higher than those of the medial gastrocnemius. The strain ratio of the rectus abdominis muscle has a significant negative correlation with left ventricular ejection fraction. Cardiac function and valvular insufficiency were not significantly correlated with muscle strain ratio. According to the result of our study, the only skeletal muscle which showed significant correlation with cardiac dysfunction was degree abdominal muscle fibrosis.Conclusion: The degree of fibrosis of respiratory muscles was also significantly associated with cardiac dysfunction; therefore, it can be used as a predictor of cardiac dysfunction in patients with DMD in clinical practice.

Lift off! Space crime in the Netherlands

As humanity looks to the stars, space brings both hope for a better future and practical benefits like satellite technology. However, space is also a potential new frontier for crime. Despite official data suggesting no space crime exists, scenarios like astronaut misconduct or space debris as environmental crime are conceivable. The exponential growth of space tourism and missions necessitates criminological attention. Although space law is underdeveloped, criminology has the opportunity to anticipate space crime through tools like extended reality and analog astronaut missions. This proactive approach can foster empirical insights, guiding legal frameworks for addressing future crimes in space.

Professional police work on a slowly dying earth

‘Our world is suffering from pollution and poisoning of air, soil and water. The earth is slowly dying.’ These threatening words were spoken by former Queen Beatrix in her Christmas speech in 1988. This problem is more urgent than ever and is a threat to our safety. Climate change, environmental pollution, and loss of biodiversity are among the greatest safety risks of today and the future and are causing social discontent and unrest in society. Tackling and preventing these crises and responding to their consequences is therefore police work. This requires the police to focus not only on maintaining stability in the present, but also on protecting future generations and nature as its own entity.

Recht op gezondheid van kinderen en jongeren in context van pandemie

In dit artikel wordt op basis van Algemene Aanbeveling 15 bij het Internationaal Verdrag voor de Rechten van het Kind onderzocht hoe staten de belangen van jongeren integraal kunnen meenemen bij het vaststellen en uitwerken van maatregelen die hun gezondheid raken tijdens een pandemie. Achtereenvolgens wordt uitgewerkt wat Algemene Aanbeveling 15 zegt over (i) de informatieplicht van staten (ii) het waarborgen van een hoge vaccinatiegraad in het licht van het publiek belang en (iii) de afweging tussen de preventie van COVID-19/infectieziekten en de bijwerkingen van vaccins voor het individuele belang van kinderen. Ten slotte is er aandacht voor (iv) de effecten van publieke gezondheidsmaatregelen op preventie van ziekten die specifiek kinderen en jongeren raken en (v) de verplichtingen van overheid en ouders.

Zo wordt beoogd lessen te trekken uit de wereldwijde omgang met de COVID-19-pandemie, met speciale aandacht voor het kinderrecht op gezondheid. Geconcludeerd wordt dat veel staten tijdens de COVID-19-pandemie tekort zijn geschoten in hun informatieplicht aan ouders, kinderen en jongeren. Hiertoe zouden kinderen en jongeren een grotere rol moeten krijgen in beleidsvorming. Daarnaast wordt geconcludeerd dat de bestrijding van één specifieke ziekte niet ten koste moet gaan van andere medische noden. Een meer integrale benadering is essentieel voor een goede uitkomst.

Tegenstrijdige wegen naar een gezamenlijk doel: wanneer arts en ouders het oneens zijn over de medische behandeling van de minderjarige patiënt

De afgelopen zomer werd een kort geding aangespannen door de ouders van een 15-jarig meisje met katatonie, omdat zij zich niet konden verenigen met de behandeling in het AMC met Lorazepam en electroconvulsietherapie (ECT). Bij de voorzieningenrechter vorderen ouders dat de behandeling gestaakt wordt en dat de minderjarige B12-injecties toegediend krijgt. De rechter komt tot het oordeel dat de ouders niet langer het recht hebben om al dan niet in te stemmen met de behandeling, nu de minderjarige inmiddels gedwongen wordt behandeld. Daar komt bij dat de ingezette behandeling in lijn is met de professionele standaard, hetgeen niet geldt voor toediening van de B12-injecties. De vorderingen van ouders worden dan ook afgewezen. In deze bijdrage wordt het vonnis wordt aan een nadere beschouwing onderworpen in het licht van de verschillende wettelijke regelingen die de besluitvorming over de medische behandeling van de minderjarige patiënt regelen.
Analysis of the Deployment Problem when Planning 5G Network Coverage
Authors: Aliev I. V. , Nosov V. I.
Published: December 2024

Global demand for higher bandwidth mobile Internet services stimulates the constant evolution of cellular technologies. Today, cellular networks are saturated with frequencies below 3 GHz. To achieve the required increase in data rates, more bandwidth is required in the higher frequency range. Due to increasing bandwidth requirements, 5th generation (5G) mobile networks are targeting the frequency range of 3 to 6 GHz (FR1). It is also planned to use frequencies in the 24-29 GHz range for 5G networks. Despite the expected widespread use of the frequency range from 3 to 6 GHz, there is little empirical data on path losses and experience in mobile radio network planning. In this paper, a methodology has been developed for determining the coverage area of the 5G network base station taking into account most equipment and signal parameters for different signal propagation models. An expression has been obtained to determine the data transfer rate in 5G-NR equipment in TDD mode. Calculations results of the coverage area are presented using the example for the city of Novosibirsk for a frequency of 4.8 GHz. The deployment problem when planning 5G network coverage is analyzed.

Hans Jonas e o princípio Responsabilidade: o progresso técnico como razão da natureza modificada do agir humano. Aqui, procuramos analisar o início da relação entre homem e natureza e a harmonia existente, buscando mostrar o depois. Os vários períodos que fizeram com que tal relação viesse a ser destruída, como: a relação entre homem e a polis; a sobreposição do homo faber sobre o homo sapiens; o efeito que a técnica causou no próprio homem, na sua essência, como o prolongamento da vida, controle de comportamento, e manipulação genética. Por último, refletimos sobre o niilismo ético como sendo um reflexo do poder da técnica. Tivemos como metodologia a revisão de literatura. Trouxemos para a discussão os seguintes aportes teóricos: Jonas (2006); Mancini (2000); Galimberti (2006); Netto (2006); Moser (2004); Pessini e Barchifontaine (2006); Lacroix (1996); Oliveira e Borges (2008), entre outros que aparecerão no corpo do texto.
