Формирование криоконита обусловлено накоплением на поверхности ледников частиц черного углерода и минеральных отложений. Аккумуляции криоконита способствуют проявлению сильного светопоглощающего эффекта, который приводит наряду с другими факторами (изменение климата, антропогенная деятельность) к активной дегляциации в горных и полярных районах по всему миру. В данной работе представлены результаты анализа полидисперсности, физико-химических и химических параметров органоминеральных отложений, извлеченных из криоконита, а также почвоподобных тел, сформированных на поверхности ряда ледников в окрестностях поселка Баренцбург, Шпицберген. Криоконит в отмерших колодцах и в трещинах ледников аккумулирует существенное количество органического углерода по сравнению с криоконитом, формирующимся на поверхности ледника. В результате анализа полидисперсности органоминеральных отложений было установлено, что в значительной степени накапливаются мелкий песок, крупная пыль, а также до 30% ила. Накопление крупной пыли и ила преимущественно имеет атмосферный характер, более крупные частицы - локальное происхождение.

The formation of cryoconite is caused by the accumulation of black carbon particles and mineral deposits on the surface of glaciers. The accumulation of cryoconite contributes to the appearance of a strong light-absorbing effect, which leads, along with other factors (climate change, anthropogenic activity), to active deglaciation in mountainous and polar regions around the world. The paper presents the results of the analysis of polydispersity, physicochemical and chemical parameters of organomineral deposits extracted from cryoconite, as well as soil-like bodies formed on the surface of a number of glaciers in the vicinity of the settlement of Barentsburg, Svalbard. Cryoconite in dead wells and in glacier fissures accumulates a significant amount of organic carbon compared to cryoconite that forms on the surface of a glacier. As a result of the analysis of the polydispersity of organomineral deposits, it was found that fine sand, coarse dust, and up to 30% of silt are accumulated. The accumulation of coarse dust and silt is predominantly atmospheric in nature, larger particles are of local origin.

Published: December 2024

Цель исследования состояла в оценке силы возникающих новых угроз для городов азиатской Арктики и определении возможных форм и направлений адаптации городского хозяйства к ним. Новизна исследования состояла в специальном акценте на города азиатской Арктики; в совместном рассмотрении современных вызовов природной и социальной нестабильности для этих городов; в расчете ущерба от деградации городской вечной мерзлоты через микропоказатели стоимости многоквартирных зданий и капитального ремонта. Ущерб шести городам Арктики Азии от климатических изменений, вызывающих деградацию вечной мерзлоты, через потерю устойчивости многоквартирных домов и через увеличение стоимости капитальных ремонтов ввиду более высокой частоты проведения ремонтных работ определяется «вилкой» от десятков до первых сотен миллиардов рублей в течение ближайших десятилетий. Общие затраты городов Арктики Азии на борьбу с пандемией Covid-19 в 2020 году составляют десятки миллиардов рублей. Ответ городов Арктики Азии на новые вызовы включает определение оптимальной степени централизации городского теплоснабжения, рационального соотношения между капитальным ремонтом и строительством нового малоэтажного жилого фонда, адаптацию резервных мощностей системы здравоохранения крупных городов Арктики Азии к фактической численности граждан, с учетом вахтовиков и командированных.

The aim of the study is to assess the strength of the emerging new threats to cities in the Asian Arctic and to determine the possible forms and directions of adaptation of the municipal economy to them. The novelty of the study is the special emphasis on cities in the Asian Arctic; joint consideration of contemporary challenges of natural and social instability for these cities; calculation of damage from degradation of urban permafrost through micro-indicators of the cost of apartment buildings and repairing works. The damage to six cities in the Arctic Asia from climatic changes causing the degradation of permafrost, through the loss of stability of apartment buildings and through the increase in the cost of repairs due to their frequency, is determined in the range from tens to the first hundreds of billions of rubles over the next decades. The total costs of cities in the Arctic Asia to combat the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 amount to tens of billions of rubles. The response of the cities of the Arctic Asia to new challenges includes determining the optimal degree of centralization of the urban heating system, a rational ratio between capital repairs and the construction of new housing stock, adaptation of the reserve capacities of the healthcare system in large cities in the Arctic Asia to the actual number of citizens, taking into account shift workers and business travellers.

Влияние дефицита солнечного света на уровень тревожности пришлого населения в Арктике
Authors: Пономарев В.В.
Published: December 2024

Адаптация пришлого (некоренного) населения к экс-тремальным условиям Заполярья является актуальной задачей дальнейшего освоения Арктики. Особо неблагоприятным пери-одом для мигрантов является период дефицита солнечного света с конца ноября по начало февраля. Исследование, проведенное в Салехарде (Ямало-Ненецкий автономный округ) зимой 2021\2022 годов по методике Спилбергера-Ханина, показало, что в это время практически у всех взрослых представителей пришлого населения увеличилась ситуационная и личностная тревожность. Ряд обсле-дуемых к концу «темного времени» стабильно испытывали высо-кую степень тревожности. Поскольку уровень тревожности на-прямую связан с состоянием психологического здоровья, делается вывод о том, что в период дефицита солнечного света у пришлого населения ухудшается не только соматическое, но и психологиче-ское здоровье. Даны рекомендации, которые позволяют затормо-зить развитие паталогических процессов.

Authors: Баженова О.П. , Костерова В.В.
Published: December 2024

В статье рассмотрена и дополнена классификация экосистемных услуг водных объектов. На примере реки Иртыш установлено, что с точки зрения оказания крупными сибирскими реками регулирующей экосистемной услуги процесс эвтрофирования имеет положительный характер, так как при этом происходит увеличение выноса фитомассы в низкопродуктивные арктические экосистемы, и тем самым — их обогащение. Кроме того, на начальных стадиях эвтрофирования происходит существенное возрастание видового богатства фитопланктона, его биоразнообразия, что так- же способствует выполнению регулирующей экосистемной услуги.

ЯРУТКА – МАСЛИЧНАЯ КУЛЬТУРА КРАЙНЕГО СЕВЕРА
Authors: Бухарова Ю.А.
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена характеристике видового биоразнообразия Ямало-Ненецкого автономного округа, в частности, роли ярутки в развитии агропромышленного комплекса территории. С образованием в 1930 году Ямальского национального (Ненецкого) округа быстрыми темпами стало развиваться сельское хозяйство. Этому способствовали правительственные документы, организующие и регламентирующие этот процесс. Большую роль в становлении земледелия округа сыграл любитель-опытник Дмитрий Мартемьянович Чубынин (1988–1955) (допускается разночтение в написании отчества: Чубынин Дмитрий Мартемьянович / Мартинианович [1, с. 7]). Разработанная им агротехника сельскохозяйственных культур использовалась хозяйствами региона и огородниками-любителями. Одним из опытов Д.М. Чубынина стала работа по культивированию ярутки полевой, сорного растения из семейства крестоцветных. Чубынин выявил, что семена ярутки содержат растительное масло, а само растение в условиях Крайнего Севера не проявляет свойств сорняка. В статье собраны сведения из публикаций о выращивании ярутки в округе, её исследовании как технической и пищевой культуры и результатах внедрения в производство.
Comparison of survival time of three adhesive materials used in fixed space maintainer cementation by using ball milling machine: An in vitro study
Authors: Zaidan Sara M , Rafeeq Reem A , Başaran Bahri
Published: December 2024

Background: Premature primary tooth extraction causes loss of arch length, therefore; space preservation is a critical step to prevent space closure that can lead to future malocclusion. This can be achieved by using a space maintainer. Thus study's objective was to assess and contrast the survival of three different luting materials used to cement fixed space maintainers an in vitro study. Materials and Methods: This study used 30 extracted human third molars without caries, cracks, or chemical pretreatment. They were divided into three groups of ten samples (n = 10). The adhesives selected in this study were Relyx Luting 2 (resin modified glass ionomer), TOTALCEM (self-etching, self-adhesive, resin cement, dual cure) and Transbond Plus Light Cure band adhesive (compomer). Manufacturer recommendations for bonding were followed after cleaning and polishing for all surfaces of the teeth. To distinguish the specimens, the middle of the root was drilled with a handpiece and marked with a red marker, then incubated for 24 h at 37 °C before being transferred to a ball mill machine to induce mechanical stress. The machine was opened to check for any failed specimen. This continued until all bands were removed from the teeth. The data was analyzed using log-rank Kaplan-Meier and Bonferroni post hoc tests at p 0.05. Results: the mean survival time of bands cemented with TOTALCEM and RelyX Luting 2 significantly longer than bands cemented with Transbond Plus Light Cure band adhesive (P<0.001). Conclusion: band retention with TOTALCEM and RelyX Luting2 superior than bands cemented with Transbond Plus Light Cure Band Adhesive.
Potential role of long non-coding RNA (nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 and metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1) in periodontitis pathogenesis: A systematic review
Authors: Al-Mufti Saif M , Abdulkareem Ali A , Milward Mike , Cooper Paul R
Published: December 2024

Background: Dysregulation of Long non-coding (lnc)RNAs has been linked to periodontitis, with potential importance in disease onset and progression. These lncRNAs potentially modulate inflammatory/immune responses during periodontitis. This review aimed to highlight the potential role of Nuclear Paraspeckle Assembly Transcript (NEAT)1 and Metastasis Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript (MALAT)1 lncRNAs in periodontitis pathogenesis. Methods: A literature search of three electronic databases was performed in SCOPUS, MEDLINE (PubMed) and EMBASE using search terms linking periodontitis/periodontal disease with NEAT1 and MALAT1 lncRNAs. Duplicate publications were removed from the retrieved articles which were then filtered to include the most relevant papers for evidence synthesis. Results: Nine studies (in vitro and in vivo) were included in the final analysis. The total number of studies investigating the role of NEAT1 and MALAT1 in pathogenesis of periodontitis was 4 and 5, respectively. The findings indicated gene expression changes of NEAT1 and MALAT1 in periodontitis compared with periodontal health. Conclusion: No concrete evidence could be withdrawn from this review; however, results suggested that lncRNAs, NEAT1 and MALAT1 could be involved in periodontitis pathogenesis. However, further in vivo studies are required to confirm these findings.

Authors: Ali Alhussein M , Mohammed Ayser N , Al-Waeli Haider A , Al-Ani Hadeer A
Published: December 2024

Background: Periodontal disease is caused by a combination of factors, with a plaque being the primary causative factor. Although periodontal bacteria play a significant contribution in the onset of periodontitis, the sustained inflammatory immune reaction, which is mostly directed by the elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, is the primary component responsible for tissue damage associated with periodontitis. Interleukin (IL)-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine, and it is released by a variety of cell types. IL-6 is crucial in the processes that lead to periodontal disease and has also been linked to the migration of inflammatory cells. Smoking is a key potential factor for periodontal disorders and is associated with an increase in both the onset and severity of periodontitis, this studay aims to assess the association between smoking cigarettes and the salivary levels of IL-6 in patients with periodontitis in comparison to healthy controls. Materials and Methods: The sample population consisted of seventy-four males, and they were separated into four different groups: a clinically healthy periodontium non-smoker group (n=12), a clinically healthy periodontium smoker group (n=12), a periodontitis non-smoker group (n=25) and a periodontitis smoker group (n=25). All of the participants' saliva samples were taken, and then clinical periodontal parameters were looked at (plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level). Biochemical analysis with an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to find out how much IL-6 was in the saliva. Results: The levels of IL-6 were found to be greater in the periodontitis groups compared to the control groups and in the smoking groups compared to the non-smoking groups. Most periodontal measures correlated significantly with IL-6 concentration in the saliva.Conclusion: This research revealed that smokers (both with and without periodontitis) have higher amounts of IL-6 in their saliva than nonsmokers (both healthy and periodontitis). This shows that smoking cigarettes had a boosting effect on the levels of IL-6 in the saliva.

Authors: Mansi Zainab M , Al-Shamma Abdulla MW , Saleh Abdul Rahman
Published: December 2024

The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of incorporated polylysine antibacterial particles (PLS) in two different types of adhesive resin cements on marginal adaptation of indirect crown restorations fabricated from IPS e.max ZirCAD (LT block). Material and methods: 32 maxillary first premolar teeth were prepared to receive indirect crown restorations with the following preparation criteria: occlusal-gingival height of 4 mm, 3% axial wall taperness, and a 0.8 mm circumferential chamfer finishing line that was checked with a digital caliper. The prepared teeth were randomly assigned to four main groups (n=8) according to the type of resin cement used to lute indirect restorations: 1) Rely C: cemented with RelyXTM U200 cement, 2) RelyPLS: cemented with RelyXTM U200 cement incorporated by PLS, 3) BrC: cemented with BreezeTM cement and 4) BrPLS: cemented with BreezeTM cement incorporated BreezeTM cement. The teeth were digitally scanned and crown design was performed using Sirona InLab CAD 15.1 software. Each restoration was cemented to its respective tooth and a 230X magnification power digital microscope was used to measure the marginal gap in µm. The data was then analysed statistically; Independent t-test and a paired t-test were used. Result: The results showed that the crowns cemented by RelyC showed significantly lower mean values of the marginal gap compared to BrC (28.969 μm, 31.06 μm), respectively (p<0.05) and there were no significant differences in marginal adaptation between the groups cemented with resin cement incorporated with PLS and the other groups cemented with resin cement not incorporated with PLS for both types of cements (p>0.05). Furthermore, the results of the paired t-test showed a statistically higher marginal gap after cementation compared to before cementation in all groups (p<0.05) Conclusion: Incorporating antibacterial PLS antibacterial particles into resin cements did not adversely affect marginal adaptation of zirconia crowns. A smaller gap was produced with RelyX compared to Breeze cement.

Authors: Manoj Chowdary Vattikuti  , Niharikareddy Meenigea
Published: December 2024

The rising prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses significant public health challenges globally, necessitating early detection and intervention strategies to mitigate its impact. This study investigates the application of machine learning (ML) algorithms for the prediction of T2DM, utilizing a comprehensive dataset that includes demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors. Various ML models, including logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, and support vector machines, were employed to identify key predictors and enhance the accuracy of diabetes prediction. The performance of these models was evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC). Our findings demonstrate that the random forest model outperformed other algorithms, achieving an accuracy of 88.5% and an AUC-ROC score of 0.92, indicating its robustness in predicting T2DM. The logistic regression model followed with an accuracy of 84%, while decision trees and support vector machines achieved accuracies of 81% and 79%, respectively. Additionally, feature importance analysis revealed that factors such as body mass index (BMI), age, and family history significantly influenced the risk of developing diabetes. The results underscore the potential of ML techniques as effective tools for early diabetes prediction, facilitating timely intervention and personalized treatment strategies. This study contributes to the growing body of literature advocating for the integration of machine learning in diabetes management and encourages future research to explore more complex models and larger datasets for improved predictive performance.

Using the Picture Exchange Communication System with Children with ASD: Educational Professionals' Experience and Perspectives
Authors: Buobaid Mohammed
Published: December 2024

Educational professionals (EPs) are expected to be knowledgeable about the use of the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). This study aims to explain the perspectives and experiences of EPs regarding their familiarity with and understanding of PECS, as well as the barriers to successful PECS usage. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach to investigate PECS usage in Saudi governmental educational institutions serving children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In-person semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 EPs. The inductive thematic analysis of the interview extracts reveals that EPs have limited knowledge of PECS, a lack of understanding of its implementation procedures, and insufficient training. Barriers to the successful implementation of PECS were also revealed, including a shortage of assistant teachers, low parental awareness, and limited parental collaboration. EPs expressed negativity regarding the availability of PECS tools and highlighted a need for resources. The findings suggest that there are areas for improvement in terms of PECS practices in schools and identify several barriers—organization-related, school-related, family-related, and child-related—that should be taken into consideration when implementing PECS with children with ASD. Based on the qualitative results, this study provides suggestions for further research as well as implications for practice. Barriers to the use and implementation of PECS are identified. The results will be helpful for schools regarding the provision of the necessary tools and training for PECS application as well as for policy makers who need to consider employing assistant teachers to assist EPs with the development and implementation of PECS.

Published: December 2024

The existing situation in the majority of Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) centres in the Free State Province raises serious concerns. Given this, the present study has investigated professional development needs as determinants of early childhood educators’ effectiveness in the Motheo District. Four specific purposes have guided this study. The study adopted a correlational survey research design. Utilizing convenience sampling, a sample of 211 ECCE educators participated in the study. Two instruments were used for the data collection. They are the Early Childhood Professional Development Needs Questionnaire (ECPDNQ) and the Early Childhood Educators' Effectiveness Questionnaire (ECEEQ). The instruments' face validity and reliability were established by consulting experts for validation and obtaining Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient values of 0.89 for the ECPDNQ and 0.85 for the ECEEQ. Regression analysis was utilized for data analysis using the Statistical Package for Social Science version 25. The findings revealed that in-service training, individualized coaching, and workshops each have a statistically significant predictive effect on the effectiveness of early childhood educators in the Motheo District. Furthermore, the combined impact of these professional development methods is also statistically significant. Based on these results, it was concluded that professional development through in-service training, individualized coaching, and workshops plays a crucial role in determining the effectiveness of early childhood educators. It is therefore recommended that early childhood educators should participate in regular professional development to keep pace with the best practices in the field of early childhood care and education as a way of enhancing their job effectiveness.

Authors: Li Xuefeng , Ahmad Norhakimah Khaiessa , Jamil Halimah Binti
Published: December 2024

Reading strategies are deliberate actions taken by readers to enhance comprehension or tackle challenges. Despite numerous studies exploring factors influencing reading strategies among EFL/ESL readers, a gap remains in synthesizing findings specific to college-level students and the nature of these influences. This systematic review aims to fill this void by examining the factors affecting EFL/ESL college students' reading strategies, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The review consolidates results from 41 studies conducted between 2014 and 2023, pinpointing sixteen factors influencing reading strategy use. To evaluate the consensus and divergence among study conclusions, eight factors examined in multiple studies were analysed in detail: English reading proficiency, gender, field of study, academic year, text type, reading anxiety, academic level, and nationality. Evidence suggests that proficient readers typically employ a wider array of effective strategies and demonstrate superior metacognitive awareness in strategy use. Female students tend to use diverse strategies compared to their male counterparts. Additionally, students in higher academic years use reading strategies more frequently than those in lower grades. It was also noted that strategy use varies depending on text type, and there is an inverse relationship between reading anxiety and strategy use. Nationality alone has no significant impact, but its interplay with other factors reveals different insights. Based on these findings, the study recommends that EFL/ESL teachers tailor reading instruction to students’ reading proficiency, academic level, gender, and text type, while addressing reading anxiety and considering cultural interactions to enhance strategy use.

Authors: Roy Sukanto , Pervin Nasrin , Hasan Md. Kamrul
Published: December 2024

Voice" in academic writing acts like the author's authority by representing his thoughts produced by his intellect. Though it is a salient phenomenon in academia, the Bangladeshi education sector still remains ignorant regarding recognizing students' voices in their writing. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the root causes responsible for the failure to project "voice" in students' academic writing, along with its possible solutions. It, moreover, takes into account the educators' and the learners' outlook as to the plausible sources of this issue and, at the same time, what both parties thought could help improve the skill of voice projection in students' writing. To this end, the current empirical study has chosen to use the mixed method approach where 30 Bangladeshi tertiary level EFL teachers and 433 students participated through survey questionnaires. In addition, 11 interviews from teacher participants and 5 interviews from student participants were conducted following a semi-structured approach. The study has found some significant obstructions in voice projection in academic writing. Hence, this study recommended some suggestive solutions to overcome the challenges in students' voice projection in academic writing at the end.

Authors: Andalia Nurlena , Djakfar Susanti , Shah T. Iskandar
Published: December 2024

This study aims to determine the cultivation of sangkuriang catfish (Clarias gariepines) for 59 days. The method used in this study is observation by collecting primary data directly from the field. During the study, the highest pool water temperature was found in the second week of 29.11 oC and the lowest temperature of pool water was found in the third week of 28.22 oC. The temperature of the pool water in the morning is lower than in the afternoon. This is influenced by sunlight that directly enters the pond which results in an increase in the metabolic process of the catfish body. The pH of Sangkuriang catfish farming pond ranges from 7.8-7.25. If the highest pH value indicates that the waters are alkaline, on the contrary, if the low pH value indicates acidic, the conclusion is that the salinity treatment of the medium does not have a significant enough effect (P<0.05) on the survival rate of catfish. Sangkuriang catfish is a type of fish that is able to survive and breed in conditions where water is less oxygen and low pH levels, in the first week the oxygen degree is 1.25 and the lowest at 0.65. Catfish tend to be more active in warm water temperatures, but they can also survive in winters with lower temperatures. However, they may become less active and require extra attention to ensure the water temperature remains within limits they can tolerate.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive motor disorder caused by prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal factors, leading to movement and posture abnormalities. In Indonesia, around 0.60% of the total child population has CP (9 cases per 1000 live births). Speech and swallowing difficulties are common, affecting children’s nutritional status and development. Speech and oral motor therapy are effective in improving speaking and oromotor dysfunction. To determine the effectiveness of oromotor and speech therapy in improving swallowing, chewing, and speech abilities in children with CP. A case study was conducted at the "Lombok Care" Children with Disabilities Foundation. Language development was assessed with the Messay Language Test, and oromotor dysfunction was evaluated using Debra C. Gangale’s method. Pre and post-therapy assessments were performed to assess changes in motor and speech functions. The evaluation of 5 respondents showed an increase in speaking skills after speech therapy and swallowing skills after oromotor therapy. Both are shown to be effective in improving communication skills and oropharyngeal muscle coordination, as well as reducing the risk of aspiration. Speech and oral motor therapy are essential and effective in improving eating, swallowing, and speaking abilities in children with CP, and are an important part of holistic medical rehabilitation.

Mastacembelus sp., a member of the Mastacembelidae family, is distributed across Java, Sumatera, and Kalimantan. Mastacembelus, locally named berod fish in the Brantas River lacks population’s descriptions and morphological analyses. Morphological analyses, including morphometric and meristic descriptions, are important for precise identification and classification of kinship relationships, serving as a cornerstone in the fields of biology, taxonomy, and conservation. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive morphometric and meristic identification of the berod fish population in the Brantas River, East Java. A total of 37 samples were collected from 6 different locations: Blitar, Tulungagung, Kediri1, Kediri2, Nganjuk, and Mojokerto. The morphometric measurements were based on 25 characters, while the meristic calculations were based on 6 characters. The data analyzed with PCA and CA using SPSS and PAST programs. The results revealed that berod fish in the Brantas River had morphological characters belongs to the Mastacembelus unicolor. However, notable disparities were observed in meristic characters, particularly in the Dorsal Fin Spines (DFS). PCA analysis showed significant differences in morphometric characters but not supported by meristic characters. These results underscore the importance of integration both morphological and meristic analyses for a comprehensive understanding of the berod fish population.

Published: December 2024

The enforcement of criminal law against environmental violations in Indonesia faces significant challenges, particularly in the effectiveness of the evidence-gathering system. The conventional system, which places the burden of proof entirely on prosecutors, often falls short in addressing complex environmental cases, especially those involving large corporations. Cases like water pollution and illegal logging require complex scientific evidence, such as laboratory analyses and satellite imagery, which are difficult to obtain. This article explores reverse proof systems, where defendants must prove their innocence, although this approach raises concerns about presumption of innocence principles. A risk-based approach is also discussed, prioritizing cases with significant environmental impacts. Technologies like automated sensors and real-time data analysis can enhance evidence collection, but their implementation is limited by infrastructure, budget constraints, and technical skills. The article recommends improving law enforcement capacity, stricter regulations, and leveraging technology to strengthen environmental law enforcemen.
