Published: December 2023

Groundwater is a crucial natural resource for sustaining human life, agriculture, and ecosystems worldwide. In many Asian countries, including Nepal, groundwater has emerged as a dependable source of water, particularly in areas where surface water is scarce or unreliable. For instance, in Bhaktapur Municipality (BM), Nepal, groundwater has been contributing around 50–60% of the total water supply. However, over the past few years, extensive extraction, alterations in the land use pattern, and other anthropogenic interventions have posed serious threats to this highly valuable resource. As such, groundwater monitoring is an essential primary step for understanding the status of the groundwater resource. Meanwhile, the Water Quality Index (WQI) is an effective tool that can turn complex water quality data into simplified information that is understandable and usable by the public. This study aimed to understand the groundwater levels and further comprehend the groundwater quality using the WQI  of the BM. The groundwater level data and water samples were collected from 24 spatially distributed wells of the BM in the post-monsoon of 2021 and the pre- and post-monsoon of 2022. Laboratory analysis was carried out to determine the nine physico-chemical water quality parameters, and the obtained parametric values were compared with those of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Drinking Water Quality Standard (NDWQS). The results show deeper groundwater levels in the core area than the periphery, and the water quality getting poorer from post-monsoon 2021 to post-monsoon 2022. The EC, TDS, pH, phosphate, chloride, and hardness of most of the samples were within the permissible limits of WHO and NDWQS, whereas the turbidity, ammonia, and alkalinity of many samples exceeded the permissible limits. Average WQI revealed that the majority of the samples were unsuitable for drinking and suitable only for household and irrigation purposes. This study provides insights into managing water demands, addressing issues of water scarcity, and highlighting the urgent need for additional research and policymaking to improve drinking water quality and the sustainability of groundwater management in BM.
Relationship between Institutional Structure and Economic Growth in Nepal
Authors: Duwal Niroj
Published: December 2023

The macroeconomic performances of any countries are influenced by the with institutional structure. This study aims to estimate the effects of capital formation, labor force participation, and basically institutional index of economic freedom; size of government, legal system and property rights, freedom to trade internationally, sound money and regulation on economic performance using time series data from 2001 to 2020 using ARDL model. The results shows that the gross capital formation, the labor force participation rate have positive relation with GNI per capita whereas the legal system and property rights have negative relation with GNI per capita increases. In long run, only the annual growth of gross capital formation has significant relation with GNI per capita growth but rest of the variables are insignificant. It can be concluded that the institutions are less likely efficient. The bureaucratic quality is least effective, doing business is costly due to weak social structure. The existing institutions have not sufficient level of regulations legally. It can be claimed that there is not efficient set of institutional structure which is valid in every country as a good institution in Nepal.

Published: December 2023

Bud dissection is generally done to determine potential bud fruitfulness (average number of potential inflorescence primordia), can be used to predict the next season’s crop yield and make decision on pruning by analyzing fruitfulness of bud with respect to its position on cane/spur in order to achieve desired crop load. Comparison of potential inflorescence primordia with actual bunches with respect to each node give reliability on data from bud-dissection. The objective of this study was to detect potential inflorescence primordia and correlate it with observed bunches in vine. Bud dissection was carried out in a spur (having 4 buds from basal node towards apex) per vine of var. Himrod and var. Steuben from a vineyard of Warm Temperate Horticulture Centre, Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal with the help of micro-dissection tools under stereo-microscope. It was revealed that cultivars ‘Himrod’ and ‘Steuben’ were both more prolific toward the buds located on distal nodes in comparison to buds situated on basal nodes; as a result, it was found that bud dissection can be used as a decisive tool for the detection of bud fruitfulness, thus for yield prediction and to develop appropriate management practice.

Authors: Dhami Jagdish Chandra , Katuwal Dharma Raj , Awasthi Kabi Raj , Dhami Karan Singh
Published: December 2023

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is a widely consumed vegetable crop worldwide. The perishability of fruits increased due to the high level of moisture which reduces quality and shelf life. Thus, this study was conducted in Kanchanpur, Nepal from 11th July to 1st August 2022 to investigate the impact of postharvest application of various chemical substances and plant extracts on the post-harvest life of tomatoes throughout the storage. The pink stage of the Heemsohna variety of tomato fruit was harvested and dipped in various treatment solutions; 0.1 % Gibberellic acid (GA3), 1.5% calcium chloride (CaCl2), 10% Aloe vera gel, and 15% Neem leaf extract (NLE) or distilled water as control. After that, the fruits were air-dried and kept at ambient temperatures. The experiment was set up using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 replications and 5 treatments. At three-day intervals throughout storage, the physicochemical properties and shelf life of tomato fruit were examined. The different postharvest treatments caused the changes in total soluble solids, titratable acidity, decaying loss, and weight loss to be delayed compared to the control. With 0.1% GA3 and 1.5% CaCl2, fruit had the lowest decay percentage followed by aloe vera gel and NLE. Similarly, the fruits dipped in 1.5% CaCl2, had shown maximum shelf life of 21 days. Hence, it was determined that postharvest treatment with GA3, CaCl2, Aloe vera gel, and NLE possesses the capacity to keep quality, extend shelf life, and delay spoilage.

This study explores Library Culture among students at BPSG of Padmakanya Multiple Campus. The study population comprises 80 students from the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 7th semesters, with 55 samples selected using stratified random sampling. The questionnaire, structured according to predetermined objectives, serves as the primary research tool. Data collected are analyzed using MS Excel, and the findings are presented through tables, pie charts, and bar diagrams.

The analysis indicates that the library is generally clean, tidy, and offers good accessibility and comfortable reading spaces. However, improvements are needed in these areas, along with addressing dissatisfaction in technology integration, book variety, and quality. From the students’ perspective, the library culture at BPSG is found to be unsatisfactory and poor. This is evident in their infrequent library visits, underutilization of available resources, and a lack of awareness regarding library facilities.

Several recommendations are provided, emphasizing the necessity for serious consideration and effective measures. These suggestions aim to enhance the library’s physical environment, technological aspects, and book collection. Addressing these concerns will likely contribute to an improved library culture among BPSG students.
Capital and Crisis: A Metafictional Study of Wealth and Power in Hernan Diaz’s Trust
Authors: Ghimire Sushil
Published: December 2023

This paper examines how Hernan Diaz’s novel Trust (2022) uses metafictional techniques to explore the relationship between wealth and power in the context of the Great Depression. The paper argues that Diaz’s novel challenges the dominant narratives of capitalism and exposes the hidden mechanisms of exploitation and oppression that sustain the system. The paper analyzes the four sections of the novel, which consist of a novel, an autobiography, a memoir, and a private diary, each with its own author, audience, and agenda. The paper shows how these texts interact and contradict each other, creating a complex and multifaceted representation of the wealthy Rask family and their impact on society. The paper concludes that Diaz’s novel is a powerful critique of the capitalist system and its effects on human lives, as well as a reflection on the role of fiction and storytelling in shaping our understanding of reality.

Authors: Aranas Kimberly , Al-Habyan Lina , Akhtar Narmeen , Ng Isabel , Noor Haleema , Poirier Mae , Blake Tracy , Dhir Jasdeep , Wojkowski Sarah
Published: December 2023

Purpose:

Canadian physiotherapists are expected to demonstrate essential competencies upon entry-to-practice including health justice competencies. However, as an emerging topic among Canadian physiotherapy programs, physiotherapy curricula may lack explicit content to develop skills related to health justice. This scoping review examined existing entry-level physiotherapy competencies related to health justice in Canada and countries other than Canada, the existing entry-level competencies for physiotherapy related to health justice in countries other than Canada; and evaluated how entry-level competencies related to health justice in Canadian physiotherapy practice compared to those of other countries.

Methods:

Four databases (MEDLINE, Emcare, Embase, and CINHL) and the grey literature were searched.

Results:

Four thousand three hundred seventy-seven relevant abstracts and 71 grey literature sources were identified respectively. One hundred seven sources underwent full text review with 12 database articles and 13 grey literature sources selected for data extraction. None of the included articles specifically articulated one or more competencies for health justice; instead competencies in content areas relevant to health justice were identified. During the data extraction phase four themes were identified: (1) Lack of specificity, clarity, and consistency which was further separated into two subthemes (a) lack of consistency and clarity of definitions and concepts (b) lack of an assessment tool; (2) Author identification; (3) Curriculum development; (4) Experiential learning. Limitations include restricting the search to English language only, and grey literature limited to specific PDFs and websites.

Conclusion:

The data collected in this scoping review demonstrates gaps in the integration of health justice in Canadian and international entry-level physiotherapy curricula.

Published: December 2023

Rough set theory is a worth noticing approach for inexact and uncertain system modelling. When rough set theory accompanies with fuzzy set theory, which both are a complementary generalization of set theory, they will be attended by potency in theoretical discussions. In this paper a definition for fuzzy Cayley subsets is put forward as well as fuzzy Cayley graphs of fuzzy subsets on groups inspired from the definition of Cayley graphs. We introduce rough approximation of a Cayley graph with respect to a fuzzy normal subgroup. We introduce the approximation rough fuzzy Cayley graphs and fuzzy rough fuzzy Cayley graphs. The last approximation is the mixture of the other approximations. Some theorems and properties are investigated and proved.
Kelvin-Voigt equations with memory: existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions
Authors: Khompysh Kh. , Nugymanova N.K.
Published: December 2023

In general, the study of inverse problems is realizable only in the case when the corresponding direct problems have the unique solution with some necessary properties such as continuity and regularity. In this paper, we study initial-boundary value problems for the system of 2D-3D nonlinear Kelvin-Voigt equations with memory, which describes a motion of an incompressible homogeneous non-Newtonian fluids with viscoelastic and relaxation properties. The investigation of these direct problems is related to the study of inverse problems for this system, which requires the continuity and regularity of solutions to these direct problems and their derivatives. The system, in addition to the initial condition, is supplemented with one of the boundary conditions: stick and slip boundary conditions. In both cases of these boundary conditions, the global in time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to these initial-boundary value problems were proved. Moreover, under suitable assumptions on the data, the regularity of solutions and their derivatives were established.
CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL OF SOFT POWER AND ITS CONNECTION WITH THE STATE POLICY OF THE PRC
Authors: Zabolotna Oksana
Published: December 2023

This article explores the role of Confucius Institutes (CIs) as instruments of “soft power” in Ukraine and worldwide, investigating their connection to the state policy of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Through an analysis of CIs impact on global educational and cultural processes, the mechanisms through which the PRC seeks to strengthen its influence through “soft power” and educational initiatives become clearer.The author states that out of the nine CIs established in Ukrainian higher education institutions, only five remain active today which is attributed to the war in Ukraine leading to University displacement and the departure of Chinese language instructors due to safety concerns. Some universities announced the creation of Institutes but took no practical steps to commence operations, suggesting a potential political undertone to the decline in CI activity.The article delves into the role of CIs in shaping public opinion about China and its policies. Through cultural events, language courses, and academic programs, Confucius Institutes form public perception of China, influencing views on its culture and political positions, potentially garnering support for China’s stances.The interconnectedness of political events in China and the actions of its “soft power” instruments is demonstrated from history perspectives. The author notes that CI researchers have reached conflicting conclusions. Proponents argue that China is strategically oriented rather than ideologically driven. Critics claim that these institutes may serve as platforms for Chinese propaganda, limiting academic freedom and potentially compromising the autonomy of host institutions.The author concludes that the role of Confucius Institutes in advancing China’s soft power in Ukraine and elsewhere should be viewed in the broader context of foreign policy and cultural interaction strategies. Balancing the benefits of cultural exchange with concerns about potential political influence remains a constant challenge for Ukraine as the host country. If the government is the primary driver of soft power, it tends to be perceived as propaganda, especially if the country pursues an anti-democratic foreign policy and supports authoritarian regimes. Only when soft power is directed through civil society does it avoid such suspicions.

Keywords: Confucius Institute (CI); soft power tool; cultural exchange; propaganda; language courses; academic freedom; higher education; internationalization; Peopleʼs Republic of China.

APPLICATION OF VERMIGHUMUS IN FEEDING PIGS
Authors: Maslov V. I.
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes a new method of fattening young pigs by introducing a biologically active additive into the diet - vermighumus, which is a product of pig manure processing by California worms.

In addition to the standard diet, the youngsters of the research groups consumed vermighumus in a dose of 130, 180, 230 g per head per day. The young of the control group consumed standard compound feed. It was established that the application of vermighumus into the diet of young pigs improved their fattening indicators. In particular, the youngsters of the second and third experimental groups exceeded the control analogues in terms of live weight at the end of fattening by 3.73 and 5.53%, respectively. Youngsters of the second and third experimental groups also had higher growth energy by 4.80 and 7.40%, respectively, and better feed payment (by 0.43 and 071 kg).

In terms of half-carcass length, young animals of the experimental group 3 did not significantly exceed the counterparts of the control group. In the 2nd and 3rd experimental groups, the fat thickness at the level of the 6th-7th thoracic vertebra was smaller (by 5.85-7.50%). They prevailed over the control analogues in the area of the "muscle eye" (by 2.83-5.45%). The weight of the rear third half of the carcass and the content of meat in the carcass was the highest in young animals of the 3 experimental group (by 7.85% and 4.91%, respectively), and the fat content in it was lower than in the control group (by 14.52%). The smallest fat thickness at the level of the 6-7 thoracic vertebra, as well as the content of fat in the carcass, was in young animals of the third experimental group. Among the indicators of the physical and chemical properties of the muscle tissue of young pigs of the experimental groups, no statistically significant differences were found. However, there is a certain trend towards a decrease in such indicators as the level of acidity, tenderness and losses during cooking, and an increase in the moisture-holding capacity and intensity of coloring in the young of the control group. The tasting evaluation revealed minor differences among the experimental animals. The relative number of lymphocytes (% of the total number of leukocytes) in pigs treated with vermighumus was higher (by 4.44-6.66% Р<0.05) than in counterparts fed with conventional compound feed, which indicates an improvement in resistance animalsEnrichment of the ration of young pigs with vermihumus as a biologically active additive contributed to the improvement of fattening and meat qualities and ensures obtaining additional basic products in the amount of UAH 320.38-354.34 per head.

Published: December 2023

The addition of selenium is necessary to maintain the health and high productivity of broiler chickens and to improve the palatability and chemical composition of the meat. This helps to increase the content of dry matter, protein and fat in the breast and thigh muscles, and also increases the nutritional and biological value of poultry meat. Determination of the optimal dose of the inorganic form of selenium in the feed of broiler chickens remains a problematic issue. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of different doses of selenium (0.2 mg/kg, 0.3 and 0.4 mg/kg) on the chemical composition, energy and biological value of muscle tissue of broiler chickens. Broiler chickens in the amount of 40 heads served as the research material. Poultry of the control group (10 heads) received compound feed according to the growing periods, and experimental groups (30 heads) received compound feed with the addition of different amounts of sodium selenite: group 2 – 0.2 mg/kg, group 3 – 0.3 mg/kg and group 4 – 0.4 mg/kg. Current methods were used to determine the chemical composition of the pectoral and femoral muscles of broiler chickens, in particular, the mass fraction of moisture, the total content of fat, nitrogen, and the mass fraction of total ash. The content of selenium was determined by the method of atomic emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma, the toxicological assessment was carried out using Tetrachimena piriformis strain WH14 ciliates, the energy value was determined by the calculation method, according to the chemical composition of muscle tissue. It was found that the fat content increased in the pectoral muscles of broiler chickens of experimental group 2 by 0.1% (p < 0.05), 3 – by 0.3 (p < 0.01) and 4 – by 0.3 % (p < 0.05) compared to the control group. The indicator of energy value of breast muscles of broiler chickens of experimental group 3 increased by 2.2% (p < 0.05), and 4 – by 2.8% (p < 0.05) compared to the control group. Selenium concentration increased in the pectoral muscles of broiler chickens of experimental group 2 by 21.7% (p < 0.05), 3 – by 70% (p < 0.01), 4 – by 106% (p < 0.001) compared to the control group. At the same time, the concentration of selenium in the femoral muscles of broiler chickens of experimental group 2 increased by 12.9% (p < 0.01), 3 – by 57.1 (p < 0.001), 4 – by 85.7% (p < 0.001) compared to the control group. Therefore, the concentration of selenium in the muscle tissue of the pectoral and thigh muscles depends on the dose of this trace element in feed. The quality of meat of broiler chickens improved with the addition of inorganic form of selenium to compound feed at a dose of 0.3 and 0.4 mg/kg.

Published: December 2023

A floristic analysis of the fraction of decorative perennials of the spontaneous flora of the Feofania tract was carried out. 86 species of plants, belonging to 63 genera from 34 families, were selected for the formation of landscape phytocenose compositions in a natural style. This species composition is quite representative according to taxonomic, ecological, phytocenotic, biomorphological and phenorhythmotypic criteria. Plant species are ranked by the level of their cultivation potential, 66% of them are recognized as highly promising. More effective types of plant’s reproduction in culture have been determined.

A comprehensive analysis of the species composition of plants and elucidation of ecological, phytocenotic and floristic features of park landscapes in the park-monument of landscape art of national significance "Feofaniya" was carried out. An experimental exposition project has been developed that combines natural phytocenoses with phytocenose compositions formed by species adapted to local ecological conditions. A significant part of these species are phytoautochthonous.

The species composition of the plants of this exposition illustrates the significant environmental protection, demonstration, educational and popularization load. This contributes to the expansion and deepening of knowledge about regional floral diversity as a whole and its individual elements. The formation of landscape phytocenose compositions on its basis is a very effective means of its preservation.

Many types of plants that have the official status of international and regional ranks of protection at the same time have quite high decorativeness indicators.

The project reflects almost 10 % of plant species that are included in the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. A third (29,8 %) of the species are listed in the regional conservation lists of Ukraine. We consider the involvement of these species in the creation of a phytocenose composition an important element of preserving autochthonous diversity and reducing the share of alien species in modern landscape design. Most types of plants have economic value: medicinal (69 %), honey (44,7 %), fodder (32 %), technical (18,1 %), food (16 %). 20 species of ornamental plants are poisonous to varying degrees. The use of decorative herbal phytoautochthons contributes to aesthetic education and active perception of nature as part of the unique Ukrainian heritage.

Published: December 2023

Analyzing the publications in which the dynamic problems of cylindrical shells of non-uniform thickness under the action of various types of loading are considered, a conclusion can be drawn. that there are practically no works devoted to the dynamic behavior of heterogeneous cylindrical shells under non-stationary loads.

In this work, the formulation of the dynamic problem of axisymmetric oscillations of a cylindrical shell of variable thickness under the action of non-stationary loading and the algorithm for solving the given problem are considered. In particular, the resulting system of differential equations is based on the theory of Tymoshenko-type shells, while constructing a numerical algorithm, the integro-interpolation method of constructing finite-difference schemes for spatial coordinates is used using Richardson approximations and an explicit difference scheme for time. An example of calculating the dynamic behavior of a variable thickness under non-stationary loading is considered and an analysis of numerous results is given.
PREREQUISITES FOR CHANGES IN THE TERRITORIAL AND SPATIAL ORGANIZATION OF THE REGIONS OF UKRAINE
Authors: Dydar Igor , Kucherenko Lily
Published: December 2023

The parameters and structure of the territorial organization of Ukraine are undergoing changes caused by the war. New prerequisites for the territorial and spatial organization of the regions of Ukraine are being formed. The research aims to develop a methodological approach to the systematization of the type of region. The formation of regions is determined by a complex of physical - geographical, socio-economic, military - political, cultural and religious features and characteristics. There are well-known examples of a sharp and radical breakdown of the military-political situation and the slow civilizational and evolutionary formation of new regional entities. At this stage, the tasks of urban planning analysis of trends and tendencies of changes in the regional structure appear. The prerequisites for changes in the territorial spatial organization of the war-torn regions of Ukraine are analyzed.

The main parameters of the formation of the region are determined in the process of systematization of typological features. The main factors and regularities of regional development, trends in changing the form and function of the object of study, the forecast of changes in the structure of the region are carried out using systemic analysis. An analysis of the main features/imperatives forming the "basis" of regionalism has been carried out. The features and properties of the territorial system of the corresponding typology are determined by the function, autonomy of the territorial system construction, and the stability of the system.

It was determined that the extra-regional influence that forms the new region provides the task of state security, compliance with the function of the border, and the function of military-political limitation. The program strategy of its development should provide methodological prerequisites for the implementation of the main functions and tasks.

The generalized systematization of the type of regions in modern conditions provides grounds for defining a region covering the territories of several regions, the borders of which determine the limits of a special regime. The defined border is the state border of Ukraine, the depth of the region is determined by the size of the special regime zone, the influence of the security factors of the demarcation line. Contours of the border region are determined at the level of decisions of central authorities.

Karpenka of the National Academy of Sciences on the order of «Zakarpatzalizoboton» VO from July 19, 1991. The work describes basic information about the building, its design and construction. The main reasons that led to the need for research and development of recommendations for strengthening the junctions of panels and columns and crossbars and columns and strengthening their short consoles and support niches of panels are established. Also, the data on identified design errors, shortcomings and defects in the construction and manufacture and transportation of reinforced concrete structures are given. In particular, the own weight of panels and walls is significantly overestimated by up to 25%; in some panels, embedded parts are embedded in concrete and have deviations from the design position; also in some panels there is a deviation of up to 20-30 mm from flatness; sockets for supporting panels on the console of the columns are installed at different angles to the plane of the panel; size fluctuations between the axes of the columns in some places are higher than the norm up to 50-70 mm; poor-quality reinforcement of the panels in the places where the supporting parts of the panels rest on the short console of the column, etc. The verification calculation of the support table of the reinforcement of the column consoles and the supporting parts of the panels was performed. On the basis of field survey and relevant calculations, appropriate recommendations were developed for strengthening the joints of external wall panels and columns and crossbars and columns. In particular, the elimination of identified shortcomings and defects, ensuring the bearing capacity of short cantilevers of the IIS-04-02 series for seismic loads for the construction area of 7 points.

The article examines the problem of overcoming complex life situations, including crisis situations of the individual and his or her socio-psychological features, by modern students. In the socio-psychological literature of the last decade, the topic of overcoming crisis, extreme and difficult life circumstances is of great interest. The content of the concepts of difficult life situations, crises and crisis situations is revealed. Features of crisis situations, types (strategies) of "overcoming" (mastering) behavior are determined. The main stages of the social and psychological overcoming of difficult situations by an individual are characterized and the key tasks faced by a person in difficult situations are defined: 1. To establish the meaning of the situation (understand what happened) and determine its meaning for yourself. 2. A person's reaction to the demands of a difficult or crisis situation and an individual's attempt to resist it. 3. The need to maintain relationships with family members, friends, other people, those who are able to provide support. 4. To keep a "reasonable" emotional balance, to manage negative feelings arising as a result of adverse circumstances and situations. 5. To save and maintain "self-image", social identity, self-confidence. The search for social support is manifested in asking other people for advice and help in a stressful situation. The task of overcoming negative life circumstances is to either overcome difficulties, or reduce their negative consequences, or avoid these difficulties, or endure them. Crisis is a turning point, a transitional moment, a critical point of development, a period in which a person's sensitivity to the world, the system of relations to oneself and others is sharpened. The gradual solution of the assigned tasks leads to successful overcoming of a difficult situation. The leading coping strategies used by modern students to overcome difficult life situations are the search for social support, acceptance of responsibility, problem solving planning, positive reassessment, task solving, optimism, giving meaning.
EGZOTİK BİR TÜR OLAN DENİZ SALYANGOZU BALIKÇILIĞININ TÜRKİYE'NİN KARADENİZ KIYILARINDAKİ TARİHSEL SERÜVENİ
Authors: BİLECİK Nezih , ZENGİN Mustafa

Deniz salyangozu Karadeniz ekosistemine sonradan girmiş, yayılımcı, egzotik bir deniz canlısıdır. Karadeniz ekosistemine uyum sağladıktan sonra 1969 yılından itibaren tüm Karadeniz kıyılarında kademeli olarak yayılmış ve 1980'li yıllarda kıyı bentiğinde dinamik bir stok haline gelmiştir. Türkiye’nin Karadeniz kıyılarında deniz salyangozuna ilişkin ilk bilimsel çalışma; ‘Et ve Balık Kurumu, Balıkçılık Müesese Müdürlüğü’ tarafından 1969-1973 yılları arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Dış pazarların artan talebi nedeniyle oldukça ekonomik olan deniz salyangozunun Türkiye’nin Karadeniz kıyıları boyunca ilk ticari avcılığı 1983’de, bir deniz ürünleri ihracatçısı firma tarafından Japon uzmanların Türkiye’ye davet edilmesi ile başlatılmıştır. İlk etapta bu uzmanlar salyangoz populasyonun yoğun olarak dağılım gösterdiği Samsun bölgesinde küçük kıyı balıkçılarına salyangoz avcılığının önemini ve nasıl avlanacağı konusunda çalışmalar yapmışlardır. Samsun kıyılarındaki salyangozun algarna ile nasıl avlanacağı kıyı balıkçılarına öğretilmiştir. Deniz salyangozu için resmi av verileri ilk olarak DİE (Devlet İstatistik Enstitüsü) tarafından 1986’dan itibaren yayınlanmaya başlamıştır. Yine salyangoz avcılığının balıkçılık yönetimi açısından ilk su ürünleri sirkülerine girmesi de 1986 yılında gerçekleşmiştir. 1984 yılında ihracata yönelik olarak başlayan ilk deniz salyangozu avcılığı ile birlikte, işleme sanayide beraberinde doğmuş ve önemli bir sektör haline gelmiştir. İlk yıllarda avcılık daha çok Samsun şelf bölgesi ve Doğu Karadeniz (Trabzon) kıyılarında yoğunlaşmasına karşın, 2000’li yıllardan sonra Karadeniz kıyısı boyunca tüm balıkçı lokalitelerinde bu avcılığa olan ilgi giderek artmaya başlamıştır. 1986 yılına ilişkin ilk kayıtlarda salyangoz avlayan balıkçı sayısı 45 iken bu sayı 2017’de 735’e kadar çıkmıştır. Şüphesiz yıllar içerisinde deniz salyangozu stokunun çok yüksek düzeyde işletilmesi, pazar sorunun bulunmaması, alım garantisi gibi etkenler ile birçok kıyı balıkçısı bu avcılığa yönelmiştir. Bu şekilde sosyo-ekonomik açıdan kıyı balıkçı toplulukları için dikkate değer bir avcılık yöntemi ve önemli bir kazanç kapısı olmuştur. Bununla birlikte balıkçıların daha fazla av-daha fazla gelir beklentisi ile bu karlı balıkçılık beraberinde birçok illegal avcılığı da beraberinde getirmiştir.
Scarcity, corruption, disloyalty, and discrepancies: Containment and defense preparation against the French Intervention in Michoacán, 1861–1863
Authors:   Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, Pérez Escutia Ramón
Published: December 2023

This article explains the conditions, circumstances, and means in which the liberal-republican faction – identified with the Benito Juárez government – became involved in the containment and defense strategy against the Franco-Mexican troops in state of Michoacán. The period studied extends from the end of the Reform War to the beginning of the French Intervention – i.e., the Franco-Mexican War. As a hypothesis, I assume that the liberal-republican faction was conditioned in its performance by the scarcity of material resources, widespread corruption, disloyalty to institutions and internal discrepancies, which limited its room for maneuver and action. This research is based on documentary interpretation from the perspective of political history and war. I conclude that the Army, the National Guard, and civil society privileged their interests and expectations over the priority represented by the effective organization and defense of the country against the foreign invasion.
On state funds and other measures to stimulate industry
Authors: Andreev Vladimir K.
Published: December 2023

The article considers certain measures to stimulate the economy, the mechanisms of which are reflected among other things in the Concept of Technological Development for the Period up to 2030, and also proposes possible ways to increase their efficiency.
The issues of creating state funds by the Russian Federation are being investigated, which, by virtue of paragraph 3 of Article 213 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, are privately owned. The integrated structure of the military-industrial complex is disclosed, as the cooperation of the head and other executors of the state defense order, based on defense legislation, and to which the norms of Article 673 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on subsidiary economic companies do not apply.
It is proposed to rethink the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, interpreting them in such a way that civil law applies to property relations based on administrative or other power subordination of one side to the other, unless otherwise expressly provided by law. The proposed approach will avoid different definitions of the essence of such a phenomenon as public ownership in entrepreneurship and will ensure the uniformity of judicial practice.
