Impact factors, journals and blogs: a modern distortion.
Authors: Rzepa Henry
Published: October 2023

A lunchtime conversation with a colleague had us both bemoaning the distorting influence on chemistry of bibliometrics, h-indices and journal impact factors, all very much a modern phenomenon of scientific publishing. Young academics on a promotion fast-track for example are apparently advised not to publish in a well-known journal devoted to organic chemistry because of its apparently “low” impact factor.
Progress on specimen mining

I’ve been on holiday to Japan recently, so work came to a halt on this for a while but I think I’ve largely ‘done’ PLOS ONE full text now (excluding supplementary materials). My results are on github: https://github.com/rossmounce/NHM-specimens/tree/master/results – one prettier file without the exact provenance or in-sentence context of each putative specimen entity, and one more extensive file with provenance &
BMNH specimens used in PLOS ONE
Authors: Mounce Ross
Published: October 2023

In this post I’ll go through an illustrated example of what I plan to do with my text mining project: linking-up biological specimens from the Natural History Museum, London (sometimes known as BMNH or NHMUK) to the published research literature with persistent identifiers. I’ve run some simple grep searches of the PMC open access subset already, and PLOS ONE make up a significant portion of the ‘hits’, unsurprisingly.

"Green library" of the Public Library of Pozega
Authors: Skoković Daniela , Majstorović Mladen
Published: October 2023

In this paper we are dealing with new innovative services and activities that we implemented in regular programs at Pozega Public Library. We recommend programs we have been implementing for last fifteen years that involved ecology themes and the environmental protection and those we reshaped as "green library". We show the new role of library in the process of education of children and carrying out programmes for adults to contribute to the preservation of environment as well as sustainability and promotion of UN Agenda 2030 and healthy styles of living. We offer our new experiences from our everyday praxis that we would like to share and our intention is to collaborate with other libraries in establishing future network of green libraries in Serbia.

Edições de artista como um levante
Authors: Panek Bernadette Maria
Published: October 2023

A partir de um conjunto de gravuras editadas por Jacques Callot, uma das séries de gravuras de Francisco Goya e as edições e respectivas publicações em jornais locais de Honoré Daumier e José Guadalupe Posada esse artigo pretende discutir as respectivas edições de artistas como levantes estéticos e/ou políticos. Para tanto tomamos a princípio os pressupostos teorizados por Susan Sontag em sua obra Diante da dor dos outros e as análises culturais estudadas por Octavio Paz em Labirinto da solidão, assim como no ensaio O Dossiê histórico de Apu-Mallq’u de Jorge Llaguno. Apoiando-se igualmente nos estudos mais aprofundados de Rafael Barajas Duran sobre a obra de Posada e as máximas analisadas por Georges Didi-Huberman em Levantes.

Defying chemical tagging: inhomogeneities in the wide binary system HIP 34407/HIP 34426
Authors: Cdol Gemma , Casamiquela Laia , Prez-Rfols Ignasi
Published: October 2023

In this work we assessed the hypothesis that stars in wide binary systems are chemically homogeneous because of their shared origin. We obtained the abundances of the HIP 34407/HIP 34426 binary by analyzing high-resolution spectra of the system. Our results indicated a mean metallicity discrepancy of Δ[M/H] ~0.22 decimal exponent (dex) between the two components, with HIP 34426 being the poorer in [X/Fe]. We observed an overall abundance difference of Δ[X/H] ~0.18 dex. We found that HIP 34426 showed an oddly high volatile vs. refractory element ratio of ~1.72 dex when compared to its companion’s ratio of ~0.68 dex. We detected a Pearson correlation coefficient of -0.77 between the elemental condensation temperature and the differences in abundances. Lastly, we noted the presence of irregularities in the radial velocity data of HIP 34426. We speculated that this phenomenon, along with the system’s discrepancy in elemental abundances, might be an indicator of the presence of rocky planets around this star. We concluded that the differences found in chemical composition might demonstrate limitations in the assumptions of chemical tagging.
Digital Signature Security Analysis By Applying The Elgamal Algorithm And The Idea Method
Authors: Lubis Rizka Khairani , A M H Pardede  , Husnul Khair
Published: October 2023

The development of an all-digital era, all activities use digital technology. Including signatures, hands are no longer manual now, signatures can be modified digitally. The application of digital signatures can be used to allow for document authenticity issues. The signature combines two methods namely Elgamal Algorithm and IDEA. The Elgamal algorithm is used to encrypt and decrypt signatures. The IDEA algorithm is used to strengthen signatures so that others don't modify them. The signature process begins with generating the public and private keys. The process of generating public keys (p,q,g,y) and private keys. With the signature of a binary document that is given by the sender to the recipient, the authenticity of the contents of the file, the identity of the sender, and the files that have been received by the recipient can be guaranteed. Affixing a digital signature is done by encrypting it with the sender's private key. In this way, checking the authenticity of documents and senders can be done.

Authors: Triana Dewi lestari  , Akim m h pardede  , Katen lumbanbatu
Published: October 2023

Abstract

This research aims to model and analyze the queuing process for collecting Village Bansus funds using an exponential distribution-based simulation method. The exponential method is used to describe the time variability between the arrival of the applicant and the service time in the queue. By utilizing simulation software, this research will examine various fund collection scenarios, including the effect of the number of service personnel on applicant waiting times and the efficiency of the fund collection process.

It is hoped that the results of this simulation can provide recommendations for increasing efficiency in the process of collecting Village Bansus funds, including determining the optimal number of service officers. Apart from that, this research can also help village governments in planning and managing the Village Assistance program so that it can be more effective and responsive to community needs. This simulation provides important insight into how the queuing process can be optimized to improve the quality of service to applicants for Village Bansus funds.

Examinando a la Cámara de Cuentas: problemas de su regulación
Authors: Greciet García Esteban
Published: October 2023

El presente artículo se propone efectuar un recorrido por los aspectos más destacables de la Ley 11/1999, de 29 de abril, de la Cámara de Cuentas de la Comunidad de Madrid, dando cuenta de su configuración normativa como institución fiscalizadora. En él se sitúa a la Cámara como órgano dependiente de la Asamblea de Madrid que, no obstante, ha de conservar su independencia funcional como principio de actuación. También se muestra la incidencia de la legislación básica y de distintos sectores de la normativa estatal en la regulación propia de la Cámara, desde su ámbito subjetivo y objetivo de actuación hasta el contenido y los procedimientos mediante los que ejerce sus funciones fiscalizadora y consultiva; todo ello con una lógica repercusión en la interpretación y aplicación de su Ley de creación, que aborda todos los aspectos relevantes de la Cámara, pero sin llegar a agotarlos.
La Conformación de la eAdministración Autonómica en la Comunidad de Madrid
Authors: Ignacio Criado J.
Published: October 2023

Este artículo analiza el proceso de adquisición, gestión y utilización de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) dentro de la administración de la Comunidad de Madrid (CM) durante el período 1995-2007. De la misma manera que otros gobiernos autonómicos, a partir de 1995 los responsables políticos de la administración madrileña incorporaron en la agenda de gobierno la preocupación por la modernización de su aparato administrativo. Más allá de los resultados concretos de las actuaciones emprendidas, lo interesante de este estudio es la puesta de manifiesto de que la difusión de las TIC se fue incorporando al discurso político, así como a las prioridades definidas a través de diferentes vías, hasta convertirse en el referente casi exclusivo de sus actuaciones en ese ámbito de la innovación en la gestión pública. No obstante, la eAdministración de la CM se vio constreñida por el diseño institucional de algunas variables relacionadas con la adquisición, gestión y utilización de las TIC en la organización autonómica que, a buen seguro, seguirán determinando los futuros desarrollos realizados en esta materia desde una perspectiva estratégica.
2008, un año de conmemoraciones en la Comunidad de Madrid
Authors: Fernández Farreres Germán , Arévalo Gutiérrez Alfonso
Published: October 2023

2008 ha sido un año de conmemoraciones en la Comunidad de Madrid: el Bicentenario del 2 de Mayo y de la Guerra de la Independencia; tres décadas desde la aprobación de la Constitución de 1978; y veinticinco años de andadura del autogobierno de la Comunidad de Madrid. En dicho escenario y presupuesta la amplia mayoría absoluta de la que goza el Partido Popular, cuyo Gobierno cuenta con el apoyo de sesenta y siete de los ciento veinte Diputados que conforman el Parlamento regional, el año inmediatamente posterior a las elecciones ha sido el momento que las tres formaciones políticas con representación parlamentaria han aprovechado para diseñar sus estrategias de futuro. La Presidenta de la Comunidad, Esperanza Aguirre, consolidó su posición al ser proclamada Presidenta del Partido Popular de Madrid, con el 96,34 por ciento de los votos, en el XIV Congreso Regional. En el Partido Socialista de Madrid, Tomás Gómez Franco fue reelegido como Secretario General, con un 85,7 % de los votos de los delegados participantes en el XI Congreso Regional. En Izquierda Unida Inés Sabanés Nadal sigue ostentando la Portavocía del Grupo Parlamentario en la Asamblea.
Normativa española sobre prácticas corruptas de nuestras empresas en el extranjero
Authors: Aguilar García Julián
Published: October 2023

Con frecuencia se habla en España de corrupción política o empresarial. Pero rara vez nos ocupamos de ese fenómeno cuando los funcionarios, políticos, agentes públicos, no son españoles sino extranjeros. Este artículo analiza brevemente la exigua legislación española en la materia, criticándola constructivamente sin entrar en detalles. También analizamos, con técnica impresionista (con pinceladas sueltas sin rematar los detalles pero que, en conjunto, dan la “impresión” de la realidad), normativa internacional y autorregulación empresarial. Reflexionamos sobre cómo afecta la corrupción a los países en que se produce frecuente o intensamente. Finalmente, enumeramos, comentándolos, los riesgos y desventajas que la corrupción en la contratación internacional supone también para las empresas que aparentemente, y a corto plazo, se benefician de ella.

Las modificaciones en el régimen de invalidez de los contratos del Sector Público tras la aprobación de la Ley 34/2010, de 5 de agosto
Authors: Cid Villagrasa Blanca
Published: October 2023

El 9 de septiembre por Ley 34/2010 entró en vigor la modificación de la Ley 30/2007 de 30 de octubre de Contratos del Sector Público. Entre las principales novedades que introduce pueden destacarse la regulación de un régimen de invalidez con nuevos supuestos especiales de nulidad de los contratos, la aparición de un nuevo procedimiento para la interposición de la cuestión de nulidad, una nueva regulación del recurso especial en materia de contratación pública, añadiendo un nuevo Libro VI a la Ley de Contratos, la creación de unos órganos independiente para la resolución de estos recurso especiales, la perfección de los contratos pasa del momento de la adjudicación al de su formalización y desaparece el doble trámite de adjudicación provisional y definitiva.

Pero la verdadera novedad se encuentra en la nueva regulación de este recurso administrativo en materia de contratación porque su interposición produce efectos suspensivos de forma automática para evitar las adjudicaciones ilegales, es de naturaleza exclusiva y potestativa y resuelto ante un órgano independiente. Exclusivo porque deja a un lado los recursos ordinarios; y potestativo porque no es precisa su interposición para dirigirse al contencioso-administrativo.
Organismos de supervisión y regulación: balance y perspectivas de futuro
Authors: Sala Arquer José Manuel
Published: October 2023

Los organismos de supervisión y regulación, inspirados en el modelo norteamericano de las Comisiones o Agencias reguladoras, se han consolidado en la mayoría de los países europeos, y de forma singular en España, a lo largo de los últimos treinta años. El presente artículo trata de analizar los resultados obtenidos por este modelo y las líneas de su evolución futura. Por lo que atañe al primer aspecto, todo balance acerca de los organismos reguladores debe comprobar si este modelo organizativo ha sido fiel a los objetivos que determinaron su aparición: es decir, si los organismos en cuestión han sido verdaderamente “reguladores” y si han mantenido su posición jurídica de independencia. La conclusión es que en nuestro país no se han alcanzado esos objetivos plenamente, quizás porque cuestiones que en principio podían haber sido materia de actos de supervisión, de aplicación de la ley, dictados por organismos reguladores al margen de la contienda política, han terminado convirtiéndose (posiblemente por no hacer caso en su momento a las propuestas de los reguladores independientes) en grandes y controvertidos problemas de política económica. No obstante, su evolución futura va a seguir en la línea de su consolidación, en gran medida debido a la amplia recepción de este modelo en el Derecho comunitario.
La reforma electoral: análisis y perspectivas
Authors: Aranda Álvarez Elviro
Published: October 2023

La reforma electoral que se ha realizado en los últimos meses es, probablemente, una de las más importantes que se ha efectuado en los veinticinco años de vigencia de la LOREG. Desde luego, es la que ha conllevado un estudio más profundo para analizar los posibles cambios que mejorasen nuestro régimen electoral.

El trabajo que aquí se presenta estudia esa reforma electoral. Analiza las complejas vías que han llevado a las modificaciones efectuadas: tres Proposiciones de Ley y un buen número de Tratados Internacionales suscritos y ratificados por España. También, se analizan los cambios de fondo. Para unos, todo cuanto se podía hacer en este momento; para otros, cambios menores que aportan bien poco a los problemas que presenta nuestro modelo electoral.

Los asuntos centrales de la reforma y objeto del artículo son: el sistema que se ha seguido para el reconocimiento del derecho de sufragio activo en las elecciones municipales a los extranjeros residentes. La reforma de modelo de papeleta para la elección de los senadores. Las reformas en materia de censo para evitar los empadronamientos fraudulentos o de conveniencia. El nuevo sistema de voto de los españoles residentes en el extranjero. Los cambios realizados en las campañas electorales para evitar la interferencia en ellas de los poderes públicos y procurar reducir la propaganda y publicidad electoral.
Ultrathin Fe Films Sandwiched Between Au Layers: CEMS- study
Authors: Mohsen Mohamed , Hussain Moftah , Mustafa Khalid , Mostafa Mohammed
Published: October 2023

The STM studies of Fe films with thickness above 0.6 ML do not contribute significantly to the solution of the structural problems, because of the Au surface layer, which hinders details of the Fe sub-surface layers. The Mossbauer spectroscopy appears in this case as an exceptional method, which has the ability to solve structural and magnetic problems. Our discussion is based on a simplified spectrum analysis, assuming a discrete character of the spectral components. In reality, a distribution of the hyperfine magnetic field, as well as isomer shift and the quadrupole splitting is an obvious and natural consequence of the finite size system 'presented by the monolayer film. The exact fitting of all hyperfine parameters distribution is too difficult. Most of the fitting procedures treat the distributions of IS vs. Bhf and QS vs. Bhf as linearly dependent as described using the well-known Voigt-based method.
Towards a New Human Trafficking Strategy: Proactivity at the Heart of the Ps Paradigm
Authors: Van Rij J.J.M.
Published: October 2023

For years the main approach in the fight against human trafficking has been that of the four P paradigm. Prevention, protection, prosecution, and partnerships have been leading the way for many working in the field of anti-human trafficking. Prevention being the primary goal as the anti-trafficking movement aims for a total eradication of the crime itself. Protection is aimed at strengthening the position of the victim by reducing risk and by making resocialisation possible. Improving the success rate of the prosecution of human traffickers should help deter the crime from happening and foresee in reparations for the victims involved. Partnerships are a means as human trafficking is a crime that effects all and therefore all should take responsibility in the fight against human trafficking. Even though this paradigm shapes the fight against human trafficking, the effects differ over time and location but the (positive) effects are seemingly decreasing. The crime of human trafficking, due to the legal construction of its definition, continues changing strategies fuelled by international advising bodies, change in leadership and challenges in focus requires necessary adaptivity in vision and work in order to remain successful in the fight against human trafficking. One of the ways to adapt is to have a better information position on how human trafficking in its many types manifests itself within society. This can be done by explaining the applied modus operandi, assessing the nature and extend of the crime and continuously rethinking the effectivity of prevention and prosecution. In that sense the four P paradigm needs a well-earned update which conceptualizes the possibilities of the implementation of the four P paradigm in practice by using the knowledge of the results and effects from the past. The way forward is that of bringing the four P paradigm out of its reactive way of how it is currently being implemented and used and by applying pro-activity at the centre of each of the four Ps to renew their worth and move back to the initial goals of the paradigm, knowingly that of an effective comprehensive integrated approach to fight human trafficking. To support this step forward, this article examines each of the four Ps and tries to take them out of the reactive way in which they are currently being used and into a proactive implementation of thoughts, ideas and methods for different partners involved in the fight against human trafficking. This article discusses the necessity of the change to a proactive approach in support of the goals of the Ps paradigm and by using practical examples it tries to give insight in what is possible within the current conditions and available means. At the same time, it gives constructive criticism of some fundamental elements within the fight against human trafficking and the use of the four P paradigm.

Bu çalışmanın konusu Diyarbakır çevresinde yaşayan Türkmenlerin dini hayatları ile ilgilidir. Anadolu coğrafyasının çeşitli yerlerinde yaşayan Türkmenlerin uzun yıllar yaşamış olduğu, tarihsel ve kültürel zenginlikleri ile ön plana çıkan Diyarbakır şehri, araştırmanın çalışma evrenini oluşturmuştur. Geçmişte bazı Türk toplumlarına başkentlik yapmış olan Diyarbakır, farklı etnisite ve inanca mensup toplumları içinde barındıran bir toplumsal yapıya sahiptir. Çalışmanın iki yönü bulunmaktadır; birincisi Alevilik ikincisi Türkmenliktir. Araştırmada Diyarbakır çevresinde yaşayan Türkmenlerle derinlemesine görüşme, gözlem ve anket veri toplama teknikleri kullanılarak bir alan araştırması uygulanmıştır. Diyarbakır’ın merkeze bağlı iki köyü, Bismil İlçesi’nin bir mahalle ve 2 köyü ile Çınar İlçesi’nde bir köyde dâhil olmak üzere toplamda 311 katılımcı bireye anket uygulanmıştır. Anketlerde inanış, kurumsal işleyiş, ibadet ve sosyal ilişkiler başlıkları altında katılımcı bireylerin Alevilik inancına ilişkin tutumları, bu inancı öğrenme konusundaki bilgi kaynaklarının neler olduğu, Dedelik kurumu, Aleviliğin örf ve adetleri gibi sorular sorulmuştur. Anket verileri SPSS istatistik programıyla analiz edilerek sonuçları sosyolojik olarak yorumlanmıştır. Bulgu olarak Alevi Türkmenlerin modernleşmeye uyum sağlayamadığı, ibadet, inanış ve kurumsal işleyişlerinin zayıfladığı anlaşılmıştır. Dedelik kurumunun, Alevilik inancına dair pratiklerin bilgi teknolojilerinin gelişmesi, kentleşme ve yabancılaşma gibi faktörlerle işlevinin zayıfladığı anlaşılmıştır. Çalışmada Türkmen Alevilerinin ibadet, inanç ve eğilimleri din sosyolojisi bağlamında incelenerek Türk din tarihine düşünsel ve teorik katkı sağlamaktadır. Diyarbakır ve çevresinde yaşayan Türkmen Alevilerinin ibadetleri, yaşam felsefeleri, dinsel norm ve değerler sistemi üzerine yapılan saha çalışması, belirli bir toplumsal grubun yaşam örüntülerini, inancı ve kültürü incelediğinden etnografik bir araştırma desenine sahiptir. Literatür incelendiğinde Türk din tarihine yönelik alan araştırmaları nicel anlamda azdır. Bu çalışma Türkmen Alevilerinin inanç pratiklerine ilişkin bütüncül bir bakış açısı ortaya koyması bakımından literatüre katkı sağlamaktadır.

The two similar-looking species of giant petrels, the Northern Giant Petrel Macronectes halli and the Southern Giant Petrel M. giganteus, are renowned for being difficult to identify. In this paper we review and offer new guidelines on identification of these birds at sea, on land, and as dead specimens. Criteria for identifying giant petrels are available in the scientific literature, especially regarding bill-tip coloration which readily differ from one species to another. Plumage characters, although useful to discriminate species, are not adequately covered at present. Thus, for each species we describe in detail and illustrate distinctive age-related plumage stages, or types, from juveniles through to adult breeders. We also comment on giant petrel biometrics, body weight, and some aspects of their behaviour, in order to help ornithologists and birdwatchers separate males and females, and eventually specimens from South America–Gough Island, Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions.
Descriptive anatomy of the subcutaneous air diverticula in the Northern Gannet Morus bassanus
Authors: Daoust P-Y , Dobbin G , Ridlington Abbott R , Dawson S
Published: October 2023

Northern Gannets Morus bassanus typically forage by diving from high above the water surface. Their subcutaneous (s-c) tissues are invested by an elaborate system of air diverticula that presumably function in cushioning the impact of their entry into the water. The anatomical details of this system were studied by dissection and latex injection in 15 carcasses of these birds. The s-c air diverticula consist mainly of two independent systems of intercommunicating compartments that are bilaterally symmetrical, cover the ventral and lateral regions of the trunk and the proximal portions of the wings and legs, and communicate with the ipsilateral region of the clavicular respiratory air sac. This communication, which opens into the axillary region, is through a narrow gap between the subcoracoideus and coracobrachialis caudalis muscles. Two other, smaller, independent systems of s-c air diverticula, also bilaterally symmetrical, may contribute to cushioning the Northern Gannet’s body during its dives: one at the thoracic inlet, which communicates with the corresponding side of the clavicular air sac, and the other along the neck, which communicates with the nasal cavities and the choanal opening. Further work is required to define more precisely the function of these extensive air diverticula and air circulation within them.
Rafting behaviour of Manx Shearwaters Puffinus puffinus
Authors: Wilson L , McSorley C , Gray C , Dean B , Dunn T , Webb A , Reid J
Published: October 2023

Radio-telemetry data were collected on rafting Manx Shearwaters Puffinus puffinus at Skomer (southwest Wales), Rum (northwest Scotland) and Bardsey (northwest Wales) between 2003 and 2005. These were used to investigate whether Manx Shearwaters tend to raft adjacent to their breeding areas and whether rafts move closer towards shore as the evening progresses. On Skomer and Bardsey, there was a tendency for birds to raft in an area roughly adjacent to where they bred, although they did not raft exclusively opposite their breeding site. On Rum, birds breeding at two different locations appeared to show different preferences for rafting areas. However, it was difficult to draw conclusions from this, as signal coverage around the island was poor, and the breeding locations were close together. At all three islands, there was strong evidence that birds tended to move closer inshore as the evening progressed.
Late breeding by Great Cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo
Authors: Craik J , Bregnballe T
Published: October 2023

Two distinct waves of synchronised breeding occurred at a colony of Great Cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo in west Scotland in 2007. The second wave led to young fledging in September, exceptionally late for this species locally. Evidence from elsewhere suggests that this second wave was not double-brooding (raising of two broods in one year by the same pair) but breeding by newly-arrived birds that had failed at a nearby colony earlier in the year.

Authors: Veron P , Lawlor M
Published: October 2023

Around 7,500 pairs of Northern Gannets Morus bassanus nest at two long- established gannetries off Alderney, Channel Islands, the second and third most southerly colonies in the world. This paper describes the temporal and spatial distri- bution within five geographic zones of recoveries of birds ringed as chicks at these colonies. First-year birds migrate south in autumn earlier than those from gannetries further north, many to waters off northwest Africa and some as far south as Senegal, while others move into Mediterranean Waters, perhaps more readily than juveniles from more northern colonies. Some remain in southern latitudes during their second summer but most have returned at least into West European Waters. After their second winter, immature birds tend to summer in Northern Waters, with recoveries often in the vicinity of different gannetries. Most Channel Islands birds probably recruit into their natal colonies, but some have recruited into more recently established gannetries, on Helgoland, Germany and Gjesvær, Finnmark, Norway. Recoveries of adults were mainly from Northern Waters, but also along the coasts of the Bay of Biscay and Atlantic Iberia, at all times of year.
Leach’s Storm-petrels Oceanodroma leucorhoa nesting at a new site in Shetland

Published: October 2023

In August 2010, six small islands in northern Shetland were prospectively surveyed for breeding colonies of Leach’s Storm-petrels Oceanodroma leucorhoa using vocalisation playback methods. Four adult birds, two with a nest, were located on 10 August in burrows at a new site for the species in the UK: Gloup Holm, off north Yell. Under license, three birds were temporarily extracted and examined; all had brood patches entirely bare of feathering and highly vascularised. Eggs and chicks were not located but burrows were all too deep to check conclusively. Future surveys of Gloup Holm and other small islands in the north of Shetland, carried out in June, may locate further adults, eggs and chicks.
tiMixed clutches at seabird colonies in west Scotland 1996–2009tle
Authors: Craik J
Published: October 2023

In counts of gulls, terns, wildfowl and waders breeding on about 100 small islands along the mainland coast of west Scotland during 1996–2009, 123 clutches containing the eggs of two species (‘mixed clutches’) were found among 69,775 clutches of 20 species (0.18%). The annual percentage varied between 0.09% and 0.33%. Most (89%) mixed clutches contained only one egg of one of the species. The 123 mixed clutches involved 13 species, 19 species-pairs and at least 31 permutations of guest and host species. The most frequent species-pairs were Common Gull Larus canus and Eurasian Oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus, Herring Gull Larus argentatus and Common Eider Somateria mollissima, and Common Gull and Black-headed Gull Larus ridibundus, these together accounting for 54% of cases. Sixteen species-pairs had been recorded in an earlier study in 1990–95, and a further six were found in 1996–2009: Common Eider and Mallard Anas platyrhynchos (4 mixed clutches), Herring Gull and Great Black-backed Gull Larus marinus (3), Common Tern Sterna hirundo and Arctic Tern Sterna paradisaea (2), Canada Goose Branta canadensis and Common Eider (2), Common Eider and Greylag Goose Anser anser (1), and Canada Goose and Greylag Goose (1). The appearance of goose eggs in mixed clutches reflected large increases in breeding numbers of both species in the area. The most frequent guest species were Eurasian Oystercatcher and Common Eider and the most frequent hosts were Common Gull and Herring Gull. Mixed clutches probably arise from attempted egg parasitism. There are records of chicks from guest eggs being reared successfully in some closely related species-pairs, but other species-pairs seem incompatible.
Preponderance of mesopelagic fish in the diet of the Northern Fulmar Fulmarus glacialis around the Faroe Islands
Authors: Danielsen J , van Franeker J , Olsen B , Bengtson S
Published: October 2023

The Northern Fulmar Fulmarus glacialis is the most abundant seabird species on the Faroe Islands and is a significant consumer of marine resources. This diet study over the period 1998–2004 showed that fish was their major food source, supplemented with squid (Teuthida), polychaetes (Polychaeta), crustaceans (Crustacea) and scavenged prey. Among the fish, the small, lipid-rich Myctophid Glacier Lanternfish Benthosema glaciale dominated in frequency of occurrence and number of otoliths. Other common fish species were Norway Pout Trisopterus esmarkii, Blue Whiting Micromesistius poutassou, and Gadidae. Myctophic fish mostly occur in deeper water layers, and their high abundance in a surface feeding seabird is remarkable. As B. glaciale is not commercially exploited around the Faroes, competition between fisheries and Northern Fulmars appears limited.

Published: October 2023

Currently, the issue of automation of the analysis of electrical circuits is acute. The article offers a graphical interface for the construction and calculation of electrical circuits using the Newton–Raphson method. The program is implemented in the Microsoft Visual Studio environment in the C# programming language and contains an intuitive interface for circuit design and implementation of an algorithm for solving a system of nonlinear equations by the Newton–Raphson method with high speed. The application of this program is possible for the analysis of a DC circuit for two or more circuits in a circuit containing diodes, without capacitances and inductances. A comparison of the results obtained during testing of the program with the results of known calculations showed their good agreement.
