Authors: سليمان محمد شهلاء
Published: March 2024

يشهد العراق ومنذ سنوات تنامي بعض الظواهر والمشكلات البيئية الخطيرة وانواع مختلفة من صور التدهور البيئي وأبرزها ظاهرة التصحر والجفاف، ويعزى ذلك لتفاعل سلسلة من العوامل المناخية والبشرية.ويشكل التصحر والجفاف تهديدا للنظام العام وأمن الأفراد البيئي والغذائي والصحي والاقتصادي والمائي والاجتماعي وهذا ما يستدعي تدخل سلطات الضبط الإداري واتخاذ التدابير والاجراءات الوقائية اللازمة للحفاظ على النظام العام ومواجهة هذا الخطر البيئي، الا ان الواقع يكشف عن ضعف المواجهة التشريعية البيئية والرقابية، وضعف الوعي البيئي، والاجراءات الضبطية المتخذة من الإدارات العامة المختصة، والافتقار لوجود برامج وخطط وطنية فاعلة للقضاء على التصحر والجفاف ومعالجة الآثار الناشئة عنهما.ولهذا تتطلب مكافحة التصحر والجفاف تعاون وتظافر جهود الوزارات والإدارات العامة كافة، اذ تملك الإدارة الوسائل القانونية والمادية الكفيلة بمواجهة هذه الظواهر البيئية، واعادة النظام العام إلى ما كان عليه، وحماية حقوق الأفراد المنصوص عليها في الدستور والقانون
Modelización del efecto Coriolis sobre el movimiento de proyectiles de largo alcance
Authors: Guarin Edgar David , Méndez-Hincapié Néstor
Published: March 2024

Las pseudo-fuerzas, originadas por la rotación de la Tierra, afectan el movimiento parabólico de los proyectiles que se mueven al interior del planeta. Estas fuerzas desvían los obuses de su plano de lanzamiento y evitan su llegada a la posición deseada. Este efecto es llamado efecto Coriolis y depende de diferentes factores como la posición del proyectil, la velocidad, la dirección de lanzamiento, etc. Para contribuir a la comprensión de este tipo de situaciones, se desarrolló un modelo computacional sobre el movimiento de un proyectil visto desde un marco de referencia no inercial (la Tierra), usando para ello el lenguaje de programación C++ y algunos métodos numéricos para la resolución de las ecuaciones. Así, el modelo básico usado para la creación del código numérico, permite obtener gráficas bajo cualquier condición, las cuales muestran el comportamiento dinámico del proyectil. Con esto queremos resaltar la importancia de la modelación computarizada de sistemas dinámicos en la enseñanza de la Física, ya que ésta ayuda a los estudiantes a aproximarse a fenómenos físicos complejos.

Authors: Bravo Silvia , Pesa Marta
Published: March 2024

Este trabajo presenta los resultados de una investigación referida al aprendizaje de los conceptos de interferencia y difracción de la luz en el ámbito de un laboratorio de física para carreras de ingeniería. Involucra el diseño de una propuesta didáctica de carácter experimental y el análisis e interpretación de resultados obtenidos con estudiantes del ciclo básico de ingeniería. La investigación se realizó desde la teoría de campos conceptuales de Vergnaud como marco teórico de referencia. Involucra el estudio del desarrollo cognitivo de los estudiantes durante la implementación de la propuesta didáctica y la evaluación de resultados de la misma a través de la evolución de sus esquemas. Los resultados obtenidos en el estudio del desarrollo cognitivo durante todas las actividades, focalizado en tres de los estudiantes, muestran que los esquemas iniciales estaban centrados en la óptica de rayos y evolucionan paulatinamente hacia esquemas centrados en el modelo ondulatorio, a medida que desarrollan las actividades experimentales. Los resultados obtenidos con la evaluación individual muestran que más de la mitad de los estudiantes ha logrado una evolución de sus esquemas iniciales y ha logrado desarrollar, en consecuencia, las competencias necesarias para enfrentar satisfactoriamente las situaciones experimentales.
Resultados de la investigación actual sobre el aprendizaje con videojuegos
Authors: Escobar Margarita del Rosario , Buteler Laura
Published: March 2024

En este trabajo presentamos los resultados de una revisión bibliográfica sobre 50 investigaciones entre 2003 y 2018 acerca de los efectos de los videojuegos en el aprendizaje. Nuestro análisis considera dos hilos conduc-tores: por un lado, las potencialidades que los videojuegos ofrecen y, por otro, las dimensiones de análisis a considerar en el abordaje de los videojuegos como recurso educativo. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la diversidad y ambigüedad de resultados en torno al impacto de los videojuegos en el aprendizaje, pese a su amplia aceptación por parte de científicos y educadores. Esta diversidad de resultados se entiende desde la multiplicidad de enfoques teóricos existentes para analizar dicho impacto. Se concluye que el abordaje teórico de la cuestión deberá contemplar simultáneamente múltiples enfoques, siendo centrales la perspectiva cognitiva y la sociocultural.

Building Nationalities within Christians Virtues
Authors: Suluh Julinda Asap , Lukas Lukas , Munthe Yesyurun , Yulista Yulista
Published: March 2024

Background. Reflecting Pancasila in research world not necessarily discussing Indonesian citizenship as a civil society, these discourses widened to theological settings, particularly scriptural texts that are often used as sermons in pulpits. Indonesian ideological issues encountering Christianity have flowed and led to the entanglement of structural issues.
Purpose. The aim of research was to explore the threads of nationalism in Pancasila, specifically crossing over with Christian values.
Method. Based on qualitative research, researchers searched data through previous writings relevant to Pancasila, education, scriptural texts and their history.
Results. Results showed that Christianity has brought goodness news not just limited to Christians, but also brought light for the world as reflections of socialist human beings. It must be understood that Indonesian nationalism is nationalism that rejects all forms of discrimination, oppression, injustice, and denial of divine values, as contained in Pancasila.
Conclusion. Citizens have four main roles in the nation and state, namely as iron stock, social by control, agent of change, and also moral force. Those four main roles in running the life of the state are certainly not at all contradictory to Christianity. By performing these four roles, Christians show the quality of their Christian faith by becoming good citizens.
The Use of Jarimatics as a Media in Learning Calculating at Elementary School
Authors: Mawaddah Arini Ulfa , Nurjannah Nurjannah , Kaswar Andi Baso
Published: March 2024

Jarimatics is a way of calculating mathematics for children using the fingers developed due to the difficulty of students counting using all the fingers and toes. The use of these jarimatics aims to facilitate students in learning to count. Using jarimatics can increase students' interest and enthusiasm for learning to count. This study has several obstacles because some students still need help understanding multiplication. Direct practicum methods and lecture methods carry out this implementation method. The training participants were 18 grade 2 students. This coaching occurred in a class 2 at SD Negeri 276 Lemo. Based on the coaching carried out, the desired results are well achieved. Namely, students become more enthusiastic and easy to understand in learning to count. Students become more eager to learn and faster in the calculation process. Therefore, it can be concluded that this training positively impacts students' mathematics learning.

Authors: Chasanah Aprilia Nurul , Wicaksono Arief Budi , Darmawan Ericka , Ardiyanto Bagas , Abdulloh Maryam
Published: March 2024

Background. This community service program is encouraged by the need for partners, which is the absence of specific activities related to the development of science and technology. Therefore, through the introduction of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in the learning, it is expected that this program can provide a lighter for the Sukosari Bandongan Elementary School teachers. STEM forms quality human resources to reason, think critically, logically, and systematically so that later they can be useful in facing global challenges and solving problems in everyday life.
Purpose. This program aims to provide teachers with learning innovations through STEM education.
Method. The activity consists of training in making simple products from the surrounding environment which can later be used as learning media. The training is carried out using lecture, discussion, practice, and mentoring methods.
Results. The expected output is an increase in basic knowledge, especially in the field of science and technology which is manifested in simple STEM-based products. There are also some other products like training modules, posters, and publications of service results on social media.  
Conclusion. STEM education is a form of assistance to Sukosari elementary school teachers in improving learning innovation. The teachers need assistance to explore learning materials that can be integrated with STEM. They have very good motivation in practicing simple STEM-based tools. This can be seen from those who actively participate in the training sessions, practice properly, and ask some questions about some matters they do not yet clearly understand. The created simple products can be simple demonstration examples in a STEM-nuanced learning.
Easy interval method, an alternative approach to improve anaerobic threshold speed
Authors: Kelemen Bence , Benczenleitner Ottó , Tóth László
Published: March 2024

This paper presents the specific training method in distance running developed by the Dutch running coach Herman Verheul and successfully applied in the 1970s, its historical background, its afterlife, and its possible applications. The Verheul method can be traced back to the Stampfl interval method used in the 1960s. It involves the use of shorter (200 and 400 meters) and longer (1000 and later 2000 meters) interval training sessions on a daily basis. The method is characterised by a low intensity of partial distances compared to traditional interval training and a relatively long active recovery period equal to the interval distance. For these reasons, the workouts remain predominantly aerobic, without significant lactic acid accumulation, allowing interval training to be used daily and avoiding over-exertion. The method allows runners to achieve high weekly volumes at high running speeds, crucial for establishing anaerobic threshold speed (vLT2) and economical running movement (RE), essential for successful distance running performance. The easy interval method offers an alternative means of improving anaerobic threshold speed. It may provide a new tool to the recently used sustained tempo runs and the anaerobic threshold intervals that are prevalent today.
Notificação de eventos adversos nos serviços de saúde no Brasil – estudo crítico com base na bioética de intervenção
Authors: Façanha Telma Rejane dos Santos , Shimizu Helena Eri , Garrafa Volnei
Published: March 2024

O século XX é marcado por questões éticas e morais que permeiam as práticas de saúde, destacando-se aquelas de natureza exclusivamente biomédica e biotecnológica. Discussões em torno da segurança do paciente tomaram notoriedade, impulsionando o estabelecimento de políticas públicas. O gerenciamento de riscos, por meio da ferramenta de notificação de eventos adversos, tomou vulto e a ética se tornou importante quando o tema é a qualidade na assistência à saúde. A Bioética de Intervenção e seus 4Ps - prudência, precaução, prevenção e proteção, notadamente o princípio da vulnerabilidade e proteção -, são a base de fundamentação deste estudo, realizado em consonância com o artigo 8 da Declaração Universal sobre Bioética e Direitos Humanos da Unesco. A pesquisa teve por finalidade ampliar os conceitos de vulnerabilidade e proteção, e aplicá-los no sistema de notificação de eventos adversos quando houver risco da quebra de privacidade e confidencialidade dos profissionais de saúde envolvidos. Utilizou-se como método de trabalho a revisão integrativa da literatura sobre estudos, posteriormente ampliada com estudos escolhidos manualmente ou pela técnica de snowball sampling. O estudo evidenciou a importância da proteção por parte do Estado mediante implantação e execução de políticas públicas específicas para o tema, destacando-se, também, que o ato de notificar eventos adversos deve se sobrepor à vulnerabilidade vivenciada pelos profissionais envolvidos com as notificações, porque o mais importante é a proteção, não somente dos pacientes, mas, também dos profissionais que notificam.

Published: March 2024

Pesantren as an educational institution that produces human resources who have faith and the ability to implement knowledge as the quality of its graduates, needs to make adjustments to the times, both technologically and in terms of the quality of graduates. Pesantren graduates will be measured by their ability in the community to do something useful and felt directly in real terms. Therefore, pesantren should not close themselves off from the modern education system, but rather adapt to the existing and developing system to produce quality graduates. Along with the times, the requirements and indicators of quality graduates were born, this became a reference for pesantren to make changes to the education process, as well as changes in technology became a reference for pesantren to make changes to infrastructure facilities as a forum for developing the quality of graduates.

ASSESSMENT OF PYROGENIC IMPACT ON FOREST AREAS IN THE TVER REGION
Authors: Zharinov S.N. , Golubeva E.I. , Zimin M.V.
Published: March 2024

We consider the potential and limitations of widely accepted remote sensing algorithms for detecting forest areas damaged by fires, which allow the monitoring systems to automatically form data about the fire areas and the areas where death of tree stands is subsequently recorded. The resulting size of the detected areas has a measurement error, which is typically determined on the basis of a onetime survey for a large territory and one forest fire season. Depending on the geographical features of the territory, forest fires have specific spatiotemporal and qualitative characteristics, and are accompanied by specific heterogeneous damage to forests, which affect the accuracy of remote detection of a burnt area or firedamaged forest. Hence the use of the unified largearea error estimate for locallevel surveys could lead to inaccurate results. The analysis of space images of forest fund lands in the Tver region for the period 2007-2022 demonstrated the need to establish regional values of the measurement error for fireimpacted areas. By comparing the medium spatial resolution data with the data of high spatial resolution we identify a regional bias, which is significant given the relatively small size of the detected areas. The study demonstrates the expediency of establishing regional error values for measurements of pyrogenic impact on forest areas. By implementing the suggested changes we could improve the accuracy of remotely-sensed estimates of fireimpacted areas and the amount of associated damage to forests.
SUBRECENT POLLEN ASSEMBLAGES IN ALLUVIAL DEPOSITS OF THE DON AND KUBAN RIVERS AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE FOR PALAEOGEOGRAPHIC RECONSTRUCTIONS
Authors: DYUZHOVA K.V.
Published: March 2024

The paper presents the results of studying modern alluvial deposits of the Don and Kuban rivers by the pollen analysis method. The study was carried out to clarify methodological issue, including the movement of pollen and spores by flowing waters. The obtained data show that pollen assemblages of river sediments formed in the process of pollen mixing by water and air characterize the composition of the regional vegetation cover rather than local nearriver plant groups. According to the results for the subrecent sediments of the Don River the transfer of pollen grains and spores by water was insignificant, which can be clearly seen at the border of the forest-steppe and steppe zones. Pollen assemblages of the forest-steppe zone contain 50% of tree species pollen, while in the steppe zone, including its northern part, tree species make up less than 30-35%. Sporadic forest elements such as Picea pollen, Lycopodium species spores and Sphagnum mosses in alluvial deposits of the steppe section of the Don River, as well as in the subrecent sediments of the Sea of Azov, could be neglected in the palaeoreconstructions. The composition of subrecent pollen assemblages of the Kuban River sediments is less variable from the middle course to the mouth with rather stable ratio of components. Pollen of the Caucasian flora elements (Fagus orientalis, Carpinus caucasica) is poorly dispersed by water from high and midmountain landscapes of the upper reaches of the river. The comparison of pollen assemblages from alluvial and marine (the Sea of Azov) sediments have shown that the distortion of fossil assemblages’ composition due to material input by water is minimal
PALAEOECOLOGICAL SITUATION IN PRE-DELTA AREA OF THE NORTH CASPIAN SEA DURING THE HOLOCENE
Authors: Lysenko E.I. , Tkach A.A. , Makshaev R.R. , Yanina T.A. , Zenina M.A.
Published: March 2024

Palaeoecoligical reconstructions of predelta area of the North Caspian Sea were based on the multidisciplinary study of the core from the Rybachya borehole containing the Holocene deposits. Geochemical, grain size, mollusk fauna, diatom and ostracod analyses were performed, and the radiocarbon dating was carried out. The structure of deposits reflects palaeogeographic events of different scales including the inception of a palaeoincision in the Lower Khvalynian deposits, accompanied by erosion of the Upper Khvalynian deposits; its development during the Mangyshlak regression and gradual filling during the multistage Holocene Neocaspian transgression. The Holocene age of the deposits filling the palaeodepression is confirmed by radiocarbon dates - 8070 ± 110 and 7020 ± 140 cal. BP. The paleontological data indicate the interchange of tranquil and dynamic water regimes and the quasicyclical change in the conditions of the water basin, from brackish to freshwater and to marine during the stage of sedimentation, corresponding to the presentday conditions on the North Caspian shelf.
PYROGENIC CHANGES OF BOG VEGETATION AND PEAT IN WESTERN SIBERIA
Authors: SINYUTKINA A.A. , GASHKOVA L.P. , KHARANZHEVSKAYA YU.A.
Published: March 2024

Wildfires are an important environmental factor which determines the carbon cycle intensity in mires. The article presents the assessment of the consequences of pyrogenic transformation and the current state of burntout mires in the taiga and forest-tundra zones of Western Siberia 6-8 years after the wildfire, with regard to their microhabitat heterogeneity. Field studies were conducted in 2022 on three mires (a total of 13 post-pyrogenic and pristine plots) and included a total-station survey of the surface, an assessment of the occurrence of species in the grass-dwarf shrub and moss-lichen tiers, sampling for laboratory analysis of the physical properties and botanical composition of peat. Sphagnum mosses, Polytrichum strictum, lichens and dwarf shrubs were considered as recovery indicator species. As a result of the study, it was found that the intensity of pyrogenic transformation is determined by the initial state of bog ecosystem and increases in a row: the hydro forestation site on the Bakchar raised bog - palsa - the Ust-Bakchar raised bog drained for peat extraction. At most of the studied plots, microdepressions were more susceptible to burnout, while hummocks were preserved or only partially burned out. The transformation of peat deposit properties extends beyond the layer directly exposed to burnout, and manifests itself in a decrease in water content, and an increase in ash content, bulk density and degree of humification. At the first stages of post-pyrogenic successions, similar patterns were revealed for the mires of taiga and forest-tundra zones, i.e. an intensive overgrowth with P. strictum. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that the hydroforestation site in the Bakchar bog could possibly restore the species composition of vegetation cover and resume peat accumulation. Irreversible changes in vegetation cover have occurred in the Ust-Bakchar bog, where the restoration of sphagnum mosses does not occur even 20 years after the fire.
SEAFLOOR MORPHOLOGY OF THE OB RIVER GULF, KARA SEA
Authors: ERMOLOV A.A. , KAZHUKALO G.A. , NOSKOV A.I. , OGORODOV S.A.
Published: March 2024

The article presents the results of an extensive study of the bottom topography of the Ob River Gulf in the Kara Sea, which is a follow-up to the long-term studies of the authors. It refines the existing ideas and aims at solving a fundamental problem of reconstructing the conditions for the formation of bottom topography in the shallow bays of the Kara Sea in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. The work aims to create a regional characteristic of the geomorphologic structure of the Ob River Gulf bottom. The initial data on the bottom topography were taken from marine navigational maps and sounding boards at a scale of 1:50 000 - 1:100 000. We processed and interpreted the collected cartographic material to create a detailed DEM of the bottom and a bathymetric map at a scale of 1:200 000 with an isobaths interval of 1 m. In addition to bathymetric data, the compilation of a geomorphologic map engaged a large amount of literature and stock materials on geomorphology, geology, and geocryology of the region. The original morphogenetic legend was elaborated with due account of current ideas regarding the conditions for the formation of periglacial plains relief at the regressive stage of the Kara Sea shelf evolution. It was found that the relict fluvial relief prevails within the gulf and was partly modified by subaqueous processes during post-LGM transgression and the current epoch. We have indicated the most critical features of the structure and pattern of the flooded pravalley of the Ob River, as well as the total ancient erosion network. The selected individual forms and relief elements take into account the scale of objects and the degree of their generalization on the map and give an idea of the development of relief-forming processes both at the subaerial stage and under subaqueous conditions, including specific features of modern dynamics of the coastal and bottom relief.

Authors: ROMANOV A.A. , KOBLIK E.A. , REDKIN Y.A.
Published: March 2024

The ecological and geographical differentiation of the bird population at 18 sites of the Urup and Iturup islands was analyzed. The method of route accounting was applied. A total of 109 species were recorded, 62 of them on both islands. The coefficient of faunal commonality between the terrestrial habitats of the islands is 72%, and between the coastal-marine - 71%. The coefficient of similarity of the bird population between the land habitats of the islands is 36%, and between the coastal-marine - 29%. The values of bird population density on the islands are close both between terrestrial (610-757 ind./km2) and coastal-marine (536-607 ind./km2) habitats. The high population density is everywhere due to the abundance of numerically predominant species of the Far Eastern island and the Chinese fauna types. The total population of species of these faunas accounts for more than 50% of the population in terrestrial (282-469 ind./km2) and coastal marine (172-333 ind./km2) habitats. The spatio-temporal dynamics of the bird population is characteristic.

Published: March 2024

To reveal variations in the iso topic composition of O and H in the atmospheric precipitation in Moscow and the processes influencing the isotope composition, all events of precipitation in 2017-2019 were sampled at the Meteorological Observatory of the Moscow State University: 158 samples in 2017, 119 samples in 2018 and 143 samples in 2019. The study is a prolongation of continuous measurements of the isotope composition of precipitation, started by authors in 2014. The study of the isotope composition of precipitation at the MSU Meteorological Observatory was supported by the IAEA and became a part of the Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP) database. It has been found that the intra-annual variability of the isotop e composition of precipitation has a pronounced seasonality. The most isotopically heavy precipitation falls from May to August, and the most isotop ically light precipitation at December-February, mainly due to seasonal air temperature variations. The ratio of the average monthly δ18O values in precipitation and air temperature for the study period varied from 0.34 to 0.39‰/°C, which is consistent with the previously obtained data for precipitation in Moscow. The δ2H-δ18O ratio in precipitation was clos e to that of the Global Meteoric Water Line, pointing to the equilibrium conditions during precipitation formation. It was established that in the summer months isotopic composition is significantly influenced by undercloud evaporation. The deuterium excess va lues in precipitation are not markedly seasonal; however, lower dexc values (below the 3-year average of 11‰) are typical for the summer months (July-August). It is most likely due to undercloud evaporation in conditions of low relative humidity and high air temperatures. Higher dexc values (above 11‰) prevailed from October to April.
Modulation of the biocompatibility of collagen/polyelectrolyte semi-IPN hydrogels with Zn-bioMOFs
Authors: Caldera Villalobos Martín , Claudio-Rizo Jesús Alejandro , Cabrera-Munguía Denis Aidée
Published: March 2024

Background and purpose: In this study, we examined the impact of Zn-bioMOF structures on the physical and chemical characteristics as well as the in vitro biocompatibility of a matrix composed of semi-interpenetrating polymeric networks (semi-IPN) made from collagen and L-tyrosine-based polyelectro­lytes. Experimental approach: We hydrothermally synthesized L-1, ZIF-8H Zn-bioMOFs, and the Zn-(L-His)2 complex, utilizing L-histidine, a bioactive amino acid, as a ligand. These metal-organic compounds primarily enhance the mechanical properties of the novel composite hydrogels through physical interactions such as hydrogen bonds and dipolar interactions. They also accelerate the gelation process. Composites containing Zn-bioMOFs exhibited greater biocompatibility than the collagen/poly­electrolyte matrix alone, as evidenced by cytotoxicity assays conducted with porcine fibroblasts, human monocytes, and RAW 264.7 cells. Further­more, the evaluated materials did not exhibit hemolysis. We investigated the influence of Zn-bioMOFs on cell signaling by measuring the levels of crucial cytokines involved in the healing process, such as MCP-1, TGF-β, IL-10, and TNF-α secreted by human monocytes. Key results: The composite with Zn(L-His)2 promoted the secretion of MCP-1, TGF-β, and IL-10, while a decrease in TNF-α secretion was observed with the composite containing ZIF-8H. Zn-bioMOFs enhanced certain aspects of the biomedical and physicochemical properties of the composite hydrogels. Conclusion: Although the overall performance of the tested materials did not differ significantly, it is worth noting that the presence of Zn-bioMOFs in biopolymeric hydrogels modulated the metabolic activity of cells important for healing and their cytokine signaling, leading to improved biomedical performance.
