Assessment of Future Climate Change Impacts on Groundwater Recharge Using Hydrological Modeling in the Choushui River Alluvial Fan, Taiwan
Authors: Ngo Thi-My-Linh , Wang Shih-Jung , Chen Pei-Yuan
Published: January 2024

This research delves into the crucial role of groundwater in underpinning ecosystems and human resilience amidst drastic and unpredictable climate change, particularly as water resources face increasing sustainability concerns due to population surges and climate change. Utilizing a combined approach of SWAT-MODFLOW models, we estimate the streamflow discharge and groundwater recharge in the Choushui River Alluvial Fan, Taiwan. These models allow evaluation of the distribution and proportion of recharge areas as well as the accuracy and the potential influence of future climate change scenarios on groundwater recharge. The findings show a strong correlation between the simulation and actual observations, evidenced by the Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficients (NSE) of 0.920 and 0.846 for calibration and validation in the Choushui River, and 0.549 and 0.548 for the Pei-Kang River, respectively. The model demonstrates a reliable representation of the watershed response, supported by robust statistical performance. The analysis reveals the variable impacts of climate change on groundwater recharge, dependent on the chosen scenario and period. Some scenarios indicate that the maximum observed increase in groundwater recharge is 66.36% under the RCP2.6 scenario in the long-term period (2061–2080), while the minimum observed increase is 29.67% under the RCP4.5 scenario in the initial time frame; however, all demonstrate a decrease ranging from 23.05% to 41.92% across different RCPs in the impact of climate change over time, suggesting a potential long-term decrease in the impact of climate change on groundwater recharge. This study provides indispensable insights into the spatial hotspots in the top fan and the potential range of impact rates of climate change on groundwater recharge, underscoring the importance of continuous research and the thorough evaluation of multiple scenarios. Moreover, we establish a primary framework for using a top-ranked MIROC5 projection of general circulation models (GCMs) to delineate an essential premise that facilitates the advanced exploration of alternative scenario augmentations, bolstering the comprehensive investigation of climate change impacts on groundwater recharge. It is proposed that these findings serve as a guidepost for sustainable water resource management and policy-making in the face of climate change and escalating water demand.

Published: January 2024

Optimizing the land use structure is one of the most effective means of improving the surface water aquatic environment. The relationship between land use patterns and water quality is complex due to the influence of dams and sluices. To further investigate the impact of land use patterns on water quality in different basins, we use the Shaying River as an example, which is a typical tributary of the Huai River Basin. Utilizing 2020 land use data and surface water quality monitoring data from two periods, this study employs GIS spatial analysis, the Random Forest Model, redundancy analysis, and Partial Least-Squares Regression to quantitatively explore how different-scale buffer zone land use patterns impact surface water quality. The key findings include: (1) notable seasonal differences in water quality indicators within the basin. The Water Quality Index (WQI) is significantly better in the non-flood season compared to the flood season, with water quality deteriorating towards the lower reaches. Key indicators affecting water quality include dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), total phosphorus (TP), and turbidity (Tur) in the flood season and NH3-N, permanganate index (CODMn), and electrical conductivity (EC) in the non-flood season. (2) Cultivated land and construction land are the main land uses in the basin. The sub-basin buffer zone was identified as the most effective scale for land use impact on water quality indicators in the Shaying River. (3) Partial Least-Squares Regression (PLSR) analysis revealed that cultivated land, construction land, and grass are the primary land use types influencing surface water quality changes, and the PLSR model is better during the non-flood season. Cultivated and construction lands show a positive correlation with most water quality indicators, while forest land, water bodies, and grasslands correlate positively with DO and negatively with other indicators. The study underscores that rational land use planning in the sub-basin is crucial for enhancing the quality of the surface water environment.

Published: January 2024

Sediment cores were collected from a mudflow lobe (80 m water depth) offshore of the Mississippi River’s Southwest Pass in 2017 to better understand the sedimentology near the lobe entraining the SS Virginia shipwreck (sunk by a German U-boat in 1942) and surrounding Mississippi River delta front. Core analyses included 210Pb/137Cs geochronology, granulometry, and X-radiography. Sediment accumulation rates (SAR) calculated from excess 210Pb activity in multicores are 0.22–0.29 cm/y at seabed depths less than 20 cm and 0.29–0.51 cm/y at depths greater than 20 cm. Accumulation rates for 137Cs have been ~0.15 to ~0.37 cm/y since 1954 and 1963, respectively. Sediment accumulation rates from 210Pb, 137Cs geochronology and indicators of relative sedimentation and bioturbation from X-radiographs suggest that rates of sediment accumulation near the Virginia have declined since the mid-20th century. This may be explained by the multi-decade downslope mass transport of the mudflow lobe in which the shipwreck is embedded and decreases in sediment supply delivered offshore from the Mississippi river. Mass transport calculations of the Virginia lobe derived from core properties and published lobe advection rates suggest downslope mass transport is far higher than sediment resupply from the Mississippi river, consistent with recent studies of delta retreat.
Land Subsidence Model Inversion with the Estimation of Both Model Parameter Uncertainty and Predictive Uncertainty Using an Evolutionary-Based Data Assimilation (EDA) and Ensemble Model Output Statistics (EMOS)
Authors: Akitaya Kento , Aichi Masaatsu
Published: January 2024

The nonlinearity nature of land subsidence and limited observations cause premature convergence in typical data assimilation methods, leading to both underestimation and miscalculation of uncertainty in model parameters and prediction. This study focuses on a promising approach, the combination of evolutionary-based data assimilation (EDA) and ensemble model output statistics (EMOS), to investigate its performance in land subsidence modeling using EDA with a smoothing approach for parameter uncertainty quantification and EMOS for predictive uncertainty quantification. The methodology was tested on a one-dimensional subsidence model in Kawajima (Japan). The results confirmed the EDA’s robust capability: Model diversity was maintained even after 1000 assimilation cycles on the same dataset, and the obtained parameter distributions were consistent with the soil types. The ensemble predictions were converted to Gaussian predictions with EMOS using past observations statistically. The Gaussian predictions outperformed the ensemble predictions in predictive performance because EMOS compensated for the over/under-dispersive prediction spread and the short-term bias, a potential weakness for the smoothing approach. This case study demonstrates that combining EDA and EMOS contributes to groundwater management for land subsidence control, considering both the model parameter uncertainty and the predictive uncertainty.

Published: January 2024

The hydrodynamic model, based on the strict conservation of momentum and continuity equations, can accurately simulate the distribution of a flow field. However, significant computing time and storage space requirements limit real-time prediction. Machine learning is well known for its fast computing speed and powerful learning ability, but its accuracy depends on an abundance of training data, hindering its wider use in locations without sufficient measurements. Application restrictions in data-deficient areas can be addressed through transfer learning, provided that two areas share common characteristics. In this study, a machine learning method based on a deep super-resolution convolutional neural network (DSRCNN) and transfer learning is proposed, validated, and applied to model two bend flows and one realistic test case. Firstly, the hydrodynamic model was established and validated against measured data. The validated model was considered to have the ability to generate real data and was used to generate a comprehensive data set for training and validating the machine learning model. Three different methods were compared and tested, with Realizable k-ε performing better than the others in predicting the outer bank flow distribution. DSRCNN was compared to a plain SRCNN (PSRCNN), as well as Bilinear, Nearest, and Bicubic methods, and the results showed that DSRCNN had the best performance. We compared Raw, RT, and TL methods, finding that the TL method performed the best overall. Therefore, the research results showed that the developed super-resolution convolutional neural network can provide more reliable predications and serve as an ideal tool for simulating flow field distribution in bends.

Published: January 2024

The evaluation of vulnerability is a crucial aspect in the sustainable development, utilization, and preservation of groundwater resources. This study utilizes a comprehensive approach, integrating systematic analysis of hydrogeological conditions and the utilization of observed and collected data. The evaluation of groundwater vulnerability in the Yishu River Basin (YRB) was conducted by employing the DRASTIC model, along with the zone overlay function of GIS software. Seven evaluation indicators were considered in this assessment. The findings demonstrate that the groundwater vulnerability in the YRB can be categorized into five divisions: excellent, good, medium, poor, and very poor, accounting for 14.5%, 42.3%, 27.9%, 14.0%, and 1.3% respectively. The areas with low vulnerability are predominantly located in the eastern part of the study area, covering the largest proportion of the total area. Conversely, areas with high vulnerability are found alongside both banks of the Shu River, forming narrow strips. Although these areas have smaller overall coverage, they contain dispersed water sources that require careful attention. These research findings provide valuable scientific insights and serve as a reference for urban planning, land use management, and groundwater resource protection in the YRB. The formulation and adoption of targeted protection measures in accordance with different groundwater vulnerability zoning, the formulation of scientific groundwater resource development and utilization programs, and execution of land resource planning are of great significance from the perspective of groundwater resource protection.

Numerical Study of the Riverine Microplastic Distribution in the Arctic Ocean
Authors: Golubeva Elena , Gradova Marina
Published: January 2024

Marine plastic pollution is currently one of the most serious environmental threats. In this study, based on scenario calculations for a five-year period, we analyzed the possible spread of microplastics carried by Siberian rivers to the Kara Sea shelf. The Lagrangian particle model used daily data from 3D numerical modeling to simulate microplastic transport by ocean currents and sea ice drift. The results of a series of scenario calculations show how the distribution of particles and their subsequent deposition depend on their type (density), size, processes of freezing into the ice, and biofouling (accumulation of microorganisms). The crucial influence of the effects of microplastic embedding in sea ice and particle biofouling on the trajectories of floating particles and their deposition on the seafloor is highlighted. The transport of light particles of microplastics from Siberian rivers by ice can contribute to the pollution of the Barents Sea, in addition to their more active outflow through the Fram Strait. Biofouling is a driver of microplastic deposition on the shelf bottom or transport along the continental slope in a cyclonic direction following the trajectory of the Atlantic waters.
Improvement and Evaluation of CLM5 Application in the Songhua River Basin Based on CaMa-Flood
Authors: Li Heng , Zhang Zhiwei , Zhang Zhen
Published: January 2024

This paper optimized the hydrological postprocessing of CLM5 using CaMa-Flood, combining multi-source meteorological forcing datasets and a dynamically changing surface dataset containing 16 PFTs (plant functional types) to simulate the high-resolution runoff process in the SRB from 1996 to 2014, specifically by integrating discharge with flooded area. Additionally, we evaluated the spatiotemporal variations of precipitation data from meteorological forcing datasets and discharge to validate the accuracy of model improvements. Both the discharge and the flooded area simulated by the coupled model exhibit pronounced seasonality, accurately capturing the discharge increase during the warm season and the river recession process in the cold season, along with corresponding changes in the flooded area. This highlights the model’s capability for hydrological process monitoring. The simulated discharge shows a high correlation coefficient (0.65–0.80) with the observed discharge in the SRB, reaching a significance level of 0.01, and the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency ranges from 0.66 to 0.78. Leveraging the offline coupling of CLM and CaMa-Flood, we present a method with a robust physical mechanism for monitoring and providing a more intuitive representation of hydrological events in the SRB.

Trade Openness and Gender Inequality in the High Human Development Countries
Authors: AlJaidi Nidal , Alsalahi Fatma
Published: January 2024

The objective of the study was to investigate the influence of trade openness on gender inequality in countries characterized by high levels of human development. The sample consisted of 39 countries during the period from 2015 to 2019. The study employed panel data analysis using the generalized least squares. The findings reveal the role of trade in promoting gender equality, as indicated by the inverse relationship between trade openness and the gender inequality index, in line with previous findings. Furthermore, the results show that the decrease in gender inequality was primarily driven by the increase in imports as a percentage of GDP. Specifically, the impact of trade openness and imports accounted for approximately 17% of the decline in the gender inequality index. The paper emphasizes the need to assess the effects of trade policy on both women and men and recommends conducting sector-specific studies and having a holistic approach that considers global value chains and finance chains in trade-related policies.

Published: January 2024

Çalışmanın amacı, kişi-örgüt uyumunun işe yabancılaşma üzerindeki etkisinde örgütsel sinizmin aracı rolünü tespit etmektir. Anket yöntemi ile elektronik ortamda hizmet, sanayi, eğitim ve sağlık sektöründen 325 özel sektör çalışanına ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmada kişi-örgüt uyumu, işe yabancılaşma ve örgütsel sinizm değişkenleri açıklanarak birbirleri ile olan ilişkileri gözlemlenmiştir. Toplanan veriler ile yapılan regresyon analizleri neticesinde değişkenlerin birbirlerine etkileri üzerine kurulan hipotezler desteklenmiştir. Kişi-örgüt uyumu, bireyin değerlerinin, inançlarının ve kişiliğinin örgütün kültürü, değerleri ve normlarıyla ne kadar uyumlu olduğunu ifade etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, yüksek kişi-örgüt uyumunun işe yabancılaşmayı ve örgütsel sinizmi azalttığı görülmüştür. İşe yabancılaşmanın, kişi-örgüt uyumu düşük olduğunda ve/veya örgütsel sinizm yüksek olduğunda arttığı bulunmuştur. Örgütsel sinizmin kişi-örgüt uyumunun işe yabancılaşma üzerindeki etkisindeki aracı rolü ile ilgili olarak, örgütsel sinizmin tam aracı rolü olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu bulgu, kişi-örgüt uyumunun işe yabancılaşmayı direkt olarak etkilemek yerine, örgütsel sinizm üzerinden dolaylı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu gösterir. Kişi-örgüt uyumunun düşük olması, örgütsel sinizmi arttırmakta, bu da işe yabancılaşmayı arttırmaktadır.
CUMHURİYETİN 100.YILINDA TÜRK FİNANSAL SİSTEMİ VE FİNANSAL KURUMLARIN GELİŞİMİ
Authors: ERBUĞA Gökçe Sinem , GÜRSOY Ayşegül
Published: January 2024

Finansal sistem fon talep edenler, fon arz edenler, yatırım araçları ve aracıları ile yasal düzenlemeler ve düzenleyici kurumlardan oluşmaktadır. Türk finansal sistemi içerisinde yer alan kuruluşları temel olarak mevduat ve katılım bankalarını içeren kredi kuruluşları ve finansal kuruluşlar olarak ikiye ayırmak mümkündür. Ancak finansal sistem içerisinde yer alan bu kurumlar daha detaylı bir şekilde ele alındığında, bankacılık, bankacılık dışı finans, sermaye piyasaları, katılım finans, sigortacılık, ödeme sistemleri ve elektronik para sektörü gibi çok farklı alanlarda faaliyet gösterdikleri görülmektedir. Finansal kurumların en temel amacı piyasalardaki para hareketliliğinin etkin bir biçimde yürütülmesine olanak sağlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, fon fazlası olan taraflarla fon açığı olan taraflar arasındaki nakit akışı finansal kurumlar aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmektedir. Türk finansal sistemini ele alacak olduğumuzda gelişimini iki önemli döneme ayırmak doğru olacaktır. 1923-1980 arasını kapsayan ilk dönem, devletin piyasaya denetleyici ve düzenleyici rolüyle müdahalesinin yoğun olduğu ve piyasada öncü bir misyona sahip olduğu dönemdir. Bu dönemde ayrıca dışa oldukça kapalı bir finansal sistem benimsenmiş olup; dış yatırımcıların ve finansal kurumların ülkeye girişine müsaade edilmemiştir. 1980’den günümüze kadar olan ikinci dönem ise finansal sistemin serbestleşmeye başlaması ve yabancıların finansal piyasalara girişleri önündeki engellerin kaldırılmaya başlandığı dönemi ifade etmektedir. Yabancıların finansal sisteme dahil edilmesiyle beraber yabancı para cinsinden işlemlerin gerçekleştirilmeye başlandığı görülmektedir. Yaklaşık olarak son 40 yılı kapsayan bu dönemde, finansal piyasaların serbestleşmeye başladığı açık bir biçimde görülmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra küresel bütünleşme, dijitalleşme ve teknolojide görülen diğer ilerlemelerle beraber finansal araçların çeşitlenmesi, finansal istikrarsızlığın artması ve ekonomik dalgaların görülmesi söz konusudur. Bu nedenle finansal istikrarın sürdürülebilmesi için mevcut finansal kurumların rollerinin sorgulanması ve yeni finansal kurumların oluşturulması gerekmektedir. Bu doğrultuda gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada Cumhuriyet’in 100.Yılında finansal sistemin ve kurumlarının tarihsel gelişimi ve rolleri detaylı bir biçimde incelenmiştir. Finansal kurumların işlevleri ve gelecekte üstlenmesi gereken görevler tartışılarak önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Cumhuriyet rejiminin sembolü olarak görülen başkent Ankara’nın tüm Anadolu kentlerine örnek olması istenmiştir. Bu nedenle sadece Ankara’ya özel çıkarılan yasalar ve uygulamalarla hedeflenen planlı kentleşme süreci tam olarak beklenen sonuçları doğurmasa da Ankara birçok konuda tüm Türkiye’de öncü olmuştur. Göç, hızlı nüfus artışı, konut sorunu, bunlara bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan gecekondular ve arsa spekülasyonu da yoğunluklu ve ilk olarak Ankara’da deneyimlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada özellikle başkentin araştırma konusu seçilmesinin nedeni de budur. Ankara’nın kentleşme sürecinin incelenmesi tüm Türkiye’nin kentleşme sürecini değerlendirmek için oldukça önemli ve gereklidir. Cumhuriyetin 100. Yılında Ankara’nın 100 yılını incelemek, tüm Türkiye kentlerinin değerlendirilmesine ışık tutacaktır. Bu çalışmada kavramsal açıdan önem taşıyan kentsel toprak, kentsel toprakta değer artışı, arsa spekülasyonu ve kentsel rant gibi konular hakkında kısa da olsa bir değerlendirme yapıldıktan sonra Ankara’nın serüveni tarihsel dönemlere ayrılarak incelenmiştir. Ankara geçmişi oldukça eski tarihlere dayanan, bilim, kültür ve sanatsal açıdan oldukça önemli bir yeri olan bir kenttir. Ancak günümüzde Ankara’yı anlamak için başkent ilan edildiği tarihi bir milat olarak kabul ederek değerlendirme yapmak gerekir. Bu temel referans noktasından hareketle Ankara’nın başkent olması ve cumhuriyetin ilan edilmesinden başlayarak günümüze gelene kadar kentsel toprak kullanımı, kentsel topraklardaki değer artışı ve arsa spekülasyonları dört döneme ayrılmıştır. Bu bağlamda Ankara’nın başkent oluşu ve cumhuriyetin ilanından başlayarak 1950 yılına kadar olan dönem başkentin imarı, 1950-1980 arası gecekonduların ortaya çıkması ve yaygınlaşmaya başladığı dönem olması nedeniyle gecekondulaşma, 1980-2000 arası gecekondulaşmanın önüne geçilememesi ve çıkarılan yasalarla gecekonduların artmasına neden olan imar afları ve 2000 sonrası ise tıpkı cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarında olduğu gibi Ankara’ya özel çıkarılan bir yasayla tüm ülkeye yaygınlaştırılan kentsel dönüşüm başlıkları altında incelenmiştir.
CLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF SECTORAL EMPLOYMENT-FREE GROWTH IN TURKEY BEFORE 1980: FOURIER EVIDENCE
Authors: ARIK Müşerref , AZAZİ Hasan , AKCAN Melike Buse
Published: January 2024

In studies that examine the relationship between variables in a certain period, although they have historical importance, and aim to provide information about the period, analyzing the relevant variables using econometric analysis methods is called cliometric analysis. The aim of the study is to examine the period that started after the proclamation of the Republic until the 1980 coup, which can be described as the crisis period. As a result, the republican period between 1923 and 1980 will be subjected to cliometric analysis in this study. The variables to be investigated in the study were identified as sectoral employment data and GDP data used to quantify economic growth, taking agriculture, industry, and service sectors into consideration. By examining the relationship between variables, the existence of employmentless growth will be tested on a sectoral basis, and the data sets will be examined in two separate analyses. The tests to be applied in the study will be carried out by applying both traditional analysis methods and new generation analysis methods. The first of the tests to be applied in the study can be expressed as the traditional Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root test and the Fourier Granger Causality test to determine the causality relationship between variables. The use of the Fourier analysis method, which is among the new generation analysis methods, in the applied tests shows that the study will contribute to the literature. When the Augmented Dickey Fuller test results are examined, it is seen that the independent variables consisting of agriculture, industry and service sectors and the dependent variable consisting of the growth rate each contain unit roots at their level values but are purified from the unit root as a result of taking the first order difference.

Authors: ENGİN GÜDER Belma
Published: January 2024

Pek çok aktör ve faktörün etkili olduğu Doğu Afrika ülkelerindeki iç çatışmalarda, komşu ülkeler ve kötü komşuluk ilişkileri de önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Diğer yandan da bu ülkeler, komşularındaki iç çatışmaların bölgedeki olumsuz etkilerine en çok maruz kalan dış aktörler olmaktadır. Ülkelerin çeşitli motivasyonlarla ve maliyet hesaplarıyla izlediği politikalar, komşularında yaşanan iç çatışmaların ortaya çıkışı, gidişatı ve çözümü süreçlerini şekillendirebilmektedir. Çatışmaları kendi bölgesel güç ve ulusal çıkarları doğrultusunda yönlendirmek üzere çatışan tarafları destekleyen, çatışmaların devamından yana tavır alan veya çözüm girişimlerini baltalayan komşu ülke politikaları, iç çatışmaları içinden çıkılamaz hale getirebilmektedir. Kötü komşuluk ilişkilerinin olumsuz etkilerinin ve zararlarının en açık örneklerinden birini Somali iç savaşında görmek mümkündür. Bu çalışma, komşu ülkelerin çatışma ya da barış yanlısı politikalarının iç çatışma sürecini etkileme potansiyelini Somali iç savaşı örneği üzerinden ele almaktadır. Çalışmada, çatışma yanlısı komşu ülke politikalarının çatışma süresini uzatabileceği ve şiddet yoğunluğunu arttırabileceği; kötü komşuluk ilişkilerinin dönüştürülmesi ve komşu ülkeler arasındaki iş birliği anlayışının geliştirilmesinin ise hem iç çatışmaların çözümüne hem de bölgesel barış ve güvenliğe katkı sağlayabileceği ileri sürülmektedir.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GEOGRAPHY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES: EVIDENCE FROM PANEL DATA ANALYSIS
Authors: ATAKLI YAVUZ Rüya
Published: January 2024

All countries aim to achieve stable economic growth. Geography is recognized as one of the main determinants of economic growth as it covers the advantages and disadvantages arising from the physical location of the country. For this reason, revealing the relationship between geography and economic growth can give an idea about the economic policies that can be implemented in terms of how to utilize the advantages or how to reduce the effects of disadvantages. In addition, analyses on the effects of geographical location, climate, natural resources and other geographical characteristics on economic growth help to understand the economy from a broad perspective. This study, using panel data analysis methods with data from 2001-2012, aims to empirically test the relationship between geography and economic growth among 79 countries classified at middle income level according to the World Bank income classification. In line with this objective, various empirical tests were carried out using panel data analysis method. The empirical analyses conducted within the scope of the study revealed that geographical factors are effective on economic growth. Therefore, the inclusion of geographical factors, which are generally ignored by neoclassical growth models, will provide an important perspective for economic growth studies.

Based on the research conducted in 2023, the findings of 17 new and 22 rare adventitious plant species for the Kambarsky district of the Udmurt Republic are reported. New to the area are Acer tataricum , Agastache rugosa, Ageratum houstonianum, Allium proliferum, Campanula punctata, Galega orientalis, Gypsophila scorzonerifolia, Heliopsis scabra, Juglans mandshurica, Linum austriacum, Lobelia erinus, Oenothera ersteinensis, Phlox drummondii, Polygonum calcatum, Rosa corymbifera, Rosa podolica, Securigera varia . Examples of rare species in which new locations have been found in the area are Arrhenatherum elatius, Artemisia argyi, Artemisia rubripes, Artemisia umbrosa, Centaurea x dobroczaevae, Eragrostis minor, Gypsophila perfoliata, Oenothera depressa, Urtica cannabina . The majority of new and rare plant species (20 species) were found in railway habitats; a smaller number of them were found in flower beds (9 species), vacant lots (4 species) and other types of habitats. 8 species are indicated for the first time for the railways of the Kambarsky district. 8 species are new to the flower beds of Kambarka city. In many adventitious species, the number of currently existing locations has increased over the past 30 years; in some species, it has decreased or remained unchanged. 3 species (Epilobium lamyi, Phalacroloma septentrionale, Solidago canadensis ), not known in the Kambarsky district 30 years ago, are currently showing noticeable activity; they are rapidly settling in the district and occupy various types of habitats.

Proteins are one of the key elements of the cell. Their correct folding and prevention of aggregation under stress conditions are ensured by chaperone proteins. Understanding the principles of functioning of chaperones makes it possible to create and modify them to solve research problems or use them in biotechnology. We created an artificial chaperone based on the apical domain of GroEL. In this work, we present an approach that allows you to vary the number of non-native proteins binding sites on this chaperone. This approach allowed us to estimate the stoichiometry and binding strength of the non-native protein by the chaperone we created. It was shown that reliable binding of non-native αLA requires its interaction with several apical domains of GroEL. At the same time, the dissociation constant of such a complex does not change significantly with an increase in the number of binding domains in the oligomer. Up to 4 αLA molecules can be attached to a complete heptameric ring of apical domains. In the future, the proposed tool can also be used not only to study chaperones, but also to obtain proteins with a combination of any functional domains.
