Authors: Tuğrul Atiye , Yılmaz Murat
Published: June 2023

Agrega ocaklarında üretilen malzemeler, beton ve çimento hammaddesi, asfalt ve dolgu agregası, demiryolu balast malzemesi vb. olarak birçok alanda kullanılmaktadır. Çoğunlukla şehir içlerinde veya şehirlere yakın bölgelerde yürütülen agrega üretim faaliyetleri, jeolojik, çevresel, sosyal, yasal ve ekonomik belirsizlikler nedeniyle riskli bir faaliyettir. Teknik ve bilimsel verilere dayalı, belirsizlik ve riskleri azaltılmış, şeffaf ve tutarlı verilerle geliştirilmiş projeler iç ve dış tüm paydaşların proje riskleri hakkında doğru bilgiye sahip olmalarını sağlayacaktır. Kayaçların kullanım alanlarına göre beklenen kaliteleri değişkenlik sunmaktadır. Birçok ocak yerinde, kayaçların bileşim ve dokuları, organik madde ve kavkı içeriği, yapısal unsurların kayaç kalitesine etkisi, farklı ayrışma türleri ve ürünleri, kayaçların kökeni ile ilgili zararlı bileşenler vb. unsurların çok kısa mesafelerde değiştiği bilinmektedir. Bu nedenle, ocaklarda işletme öncesi jeoloji ve mühendislik jeolojisi araştırmaları yapılmalıdır. Ocaklarda bulunan kayaçların bileşim ve kalite değişimleri ile jeolojik, hidrojeolojik, jeoteknik ve çevresel risklerinin belirlenmesi üretimin devamlılığında önemli rol oynayacaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; ocak alanlarında belirsizlik ve risklerin azaltılması için gerekli detaylı jeoloji ve mühendislik jeolojisi araştırmalarının önemini vurgulamaktır.
Effects of complex-descending versus traditional resistance training on physical fitness abilities of female team sports athletes
Authors: Rathi Aparna , Sharma Deepak , Thapa Rohit K.
Published: June 2023

Study aim: The study compared the effects of six weeks of complex-descending training (CDT), traditional resistance training (RT), and sport-specific training (i.e., active control group [CG]) on measures of physical fitness.

Material and methods: Thirty-one female team sport athletes were randomly assigned to either the CDT group (n = 11), the RT group (n = 10), or the CG (n = 10), and were assessed before and after intervention for linear sprint (10 m and 30 m), change of direction sprint (CODS), standing long jump (SLJ), running based anerobic sprint test (peak power, average power), resting heart rate, Cooper 12-min run test, and body fat percentage.

Results: ANCOVA with baseline scores as covariates revealed significant between-group differences for 10 m and 30 m linear sprint, CODS, SLJ, and Cooper 12-min run test after the intervention. The further post-hoc tests revealed significant differences between CDT and CG in 10 m and 30 m sprints, CODS and SLJ, with results favoring CDT, and between RT and CG in 10 m linear sprint and Cooper 12-min run test, with results favoring RT. However, no significant differences were observed between CDT and RT in any dependent variable.

Conclusion: CDT is effective in improving 10 m and 30 m linear sprints, CODS, and SLJ compared to CG, and RT is effective in improving 10 m sprint and Cooper 12-min run test compared to CG. Therefore, supplementing sport-specific training with either CDT or RT may offer additional benefits in improving specific physical fitness abilities of female team-sport athletes.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

The research was aimed at verification of the possibility and expediency of applying i-Tree Eco tools in order to assess the value of ecosystem trees and bushes by the example of one of the parks in Ukraine and representation of the obtained information on an interactive map. For this purpose, the inventory of 228 urban trees in Pryzamkovyi park was conducted and the possibility of its adjustment to the conditions in Ukraine was assessed. The obtained information was analysed and visualised, and the advantages and disadvantages of this process were determined. The scope of the provided ecosystem services for park spaces was specified and it was determined that urban trees in Pryzamkovyi park have a €12.38 million replacement value and the average indicator of annual usefulness of ecosystem services provided by one tree plant or one bush plant in the park is equal to €15.75 per year, according to i-Tree Eco assessment.

In order to improve the process of obtaining, processing and visualising materials, an orthophotomap based on unmanned aerial vehicle survey materials was applied. It allowed increasing the accuracy and improving the visualisation of the geolocation of trees and bushes. In order to familiarise a greater number of users with this information, electronic maps of vegetation that display the location of trees and bushes and their ecosystem services, both in quantity and monetary terms, were offered. The peculiarity and the scientific novelty of the approaches to solving the assigned task is the improvement of the process of informing the interested parties about the ecosystem services of a specific tree in the park and green plantations in the park as a whole. The suggested approaches to assessing the value of urban trees and their ecosystem services give ground to emphasise the value of these plants for urban ecosystems, to substantiate the expediency of implementing environmental measures as well as the need to increase the funding of these measures as a compensation for the services provided by trees and plants. At the same time, it is worth mentioning the expediency of conducting further research on this subject and the related issues, which requires follow-up studying.

Authors: Tyburski Łukasz , Szczygieł Ryszard , Kwiatkowski Mirosław , Piwnicki Józef
Published: June 2023

Abstract

On 1 April 1963, the Department of Forest Fire Protection was established at the Forest Research Institute, which resulted from the need to develop scientific and organisational bases for building a forest fire protection system that would effectively minimise the growing fire hazard of Polish forests. The Department began its activities by developing a programme that took into account both the immediate but urgent needs of the forestry and the anticipated directions of research. Over the course of 60 years, more than 350 research reports were produced. Among the achievements that have influenced the currently functioning forest fire protection system in Poland there are: the method of forest fire risk assessment, forest fire risk prediction, the creation of fire risk monitoring based on a network of forest meteorological measuring points, the development of forest fuel models, the extensive use of aircraft to detect and extinguish forest fires, the conduct of the first studies on the possibility of using television cameras to detect forest fires, the operation of the National Forest Fire Information System, the purpose of which is to collect data on forest fires and natural non-forest areas, the development of an application for forest fire models and the conduct of the first workshop on controlled heath burn in the country. Among the many projects completed, there were also those dealing with the evaluation and suitability of equipment and chemicals for extinguishing forest fires.
A Policy Perspective on Regulating Disinformation in Romania during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Radu Bianca Veronica
Published: June 2023

Romania is one of the countries that adopted temporary sanctions against disinformation during the state of emergency, which lasted between March 16 and May 14, 2020. The scope of this paper is to analyze the decisions adopted by the National Authority for Administration and Regulation of Communications, which was the institution responsible for regulating the spread of fake news on the internet. We analyzed the motivation to block access to false information and the type of news classified as disinformation. In addition, we analyzed decisions adopted by the National Council of Audio‐visual starting with the end of February 2020, both in terms of recommendations and the sanctions imposed on audio‐visual channels of communication, as well as the decisions to sanction noncompliance with the correct information of the audience. The findings show a limited effect in containing disinformation. Access to a limited number of websites was blocked and after the state of emergency was lifted, access was granted again. Removing access to a website did not stop the authors from continuing their activity by opening a new website. The lack of a definition of false information allowed discretion power in blocking access to news containing information that later proved to be correct. The activity of audio‐visual channels was regulated instead through soft legislation, such as recommendations and instructions, as well as through sanctions. Overall the analysis shows temporary and limited effects of the legislation sanctioning disinformation in Romania.
Social Media Use in Central and Eastern European Cities: Defining Local Government-Citizen Relationships through Phases
Authors: Zumofen Raphaël , Mabillard Vincent , Pasquier Martial
Published: June 2023

Research has shown the potential of social media to disseminate important information as well as transform citizen engagement with government. However, implementation proves difficult, especially in public sector organizations. The success, impact and performance of these new forms of networked interactions are yet to be fully explored, especially at the local level. Many municipalities are experimenting with social media use, but few actively measure their performance on these platforms and their interactions with users. Different frameworks have been proposed to describe government communication types and activity on social media. They are addressed here through three phases that refer to forms of government‐citizen communication on social media. The original assessment method developed here contributes to the existing literature and provides guidance to practitioners. Empirically, our research relies on a database of cities that have between 100,000 and 500,000 inhabitants in European Union member states located in Central and Eastern Europe. It provides social media metrics for these cities (N=82 and compares various indicators on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This contributes to a better assessment ofhow social media platforms are used by local governments in the region.
Phenomenology and Human Rights
Authors: de la Cadena Nathalie Barbosa
Published: June 2023

In this article, I present the phenomenological tradition as a new grounding for human rights as universal rights. The hypothesis defended is to conciliate Husserl’s phenomenological method, and Reinach’s a priori law in order to offer a new grounding to human rights. Combining Husserl and Reinach’s ideas, I propose to expand the comprehension of a priori. It would be present as eidos of each object, and I name it as material a priori; it also be present in the eidetic relations and I name it as formal a priori. Yet the object would have an essence, a necessary content, a material a priori, and necessary states of affairs, necessary relations and connections, a formal a priori. Reinach, in The A priori Foundations of the Civil Law, describes eidetic relations, such as the relation between promise, claim, and obligation. I propose three eidetic universalities to ground law; these are what I will call human rights. I also face a few difficulties presented by DuBois and De Vecchi derived from the amoral approach of a priori laws. Then, I highlight the difference between this proposition and Albert’s. Finally, I defend the proposition that a priori laws are beyond natural and positive laws.
Validation of the Slovenian Version of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire for Children (MIQ-C): A Measurement Tool to Assess the Imagery Ability of Motor Tasks in Children
Authors: Šlosar Luka , Puš Katarina , Marušič Uroš
Published: June 2023

Purpose

The ability to perform motor imagery has been shown to influence individual athletic performance and rehabilitation. Recent evidence supports its potential as a training tool to improve motor skills in children. Although there is a standardized assessment of the imagery abilities in Slovenian-speaking adults, there is currently no validated instrument for use with Slovenian children. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to conduct a linguistic validation study of the movement imagery questionnaire for children (MIQ-C).

Methods

A total of 100 healthy children (mean age 10.3±1.3 years; 50 female) were assessed with a Slovenian version of the MIQ-C at Day 1 and Day 8. Inter-day agreement was examined using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Construct validity and internal consistency were assessed using a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and exploratory – confirmatory factor analysis, respectively.

Results

The test-retest ICC were very high for all three scales examined (ICCKI=0.90; ICCIVI=0.92; ICCEVI=0.90). Excellent internal consistency (up to 0.90) was found for kinaesthetic and both visual imageries. Confirmatory analysis confirmed a three-factorial structure of the MIQ-C.

Conclusions

The Slovenian version of the MIQ-C proved to be highly reliable and valid in assessing children’s motor imagery abilities, and as such for use with Slovene-speaking children. Moreover, this standardized instrument can be a helpful tool in training and rehabilitation practice with children aged 7–12 years.

Authors: Gabrovec Branko , Crnkovič Nuša , Vrdelja Mitja , Cesar Katarina , Selak Špela
Published: June 2023

Aim

Communication and information sources can play an important role when addressing drug use. The aim of this study is to assess the association of different levels of trust in information sources regarding drug use within different population groups.

Methods

Data was gathered using a mixed methods approach, with an online survey and interviews. A structured questionnaire was designed for data collection using the methodology of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, with additional items measuring trust in the information sources.

Results

In total 9,161 inhabitants of Slovenia aged 15–64 years and living in the private households completed the survey as part of this non-experimental quantitative study (response rate: 57%). A total of 20.7% of the participants reported having used cannabis or hashish at least once in their lives, 2.5% cocaine/crack cocaine and 0.4% heroin. Mean age of the first cannabis/hashish use was 19.59 years, cocaine/crack cocaine 22.73 years and heroin 20.63 years. The participants most value and trust the information sources regarding tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs if it comes from healthcare workers or immediate family and other relatives, and put the least trust in the internet and television.

Conclusions

The data show that drug users have less trust in the given information sources compared to the whole sample. The present research serves as evidence for development and implementation of targeted interventions, including communication activities and tools.

The northern hawk owl is a real irruptive species that respond to irregular changes in the food supply. When prey levels are adequate, it breeds and winters within northern forests. Decreased prey availability can start winter invasions, the timing and magnitude of which are the subject of this study. Mainly the citizen data were extracted from the national bird websites to obtain data on the number of northern hawk owls observed in 2010–22. This paper demonstrates that through citizen data large amounts of information can be collected over wide areas, entire Europe in this case.

From Finland to Poland and Czechia the invasions years were very similar, 2013–14, 2017–18 and 2021–22 but in Sweden and Norway three clear irruption years were a year or two before. In Denmark, the clear invasions years were 2013–14, 2016–17 and 2019–20 but Poland, peak years were not at all as clear as in the other countries. The invasions started earliest in Finland in September and peaked in November. In Estonia and Latvia peaks occurred from November to January. In Poland, irruption peaked a month later in December but continued until April like in Finland, Estonia and Latvia.

The origin of the irrupting owls in the region has been debated. In Norway, authors are convinced that owls originate from Fennoscandia but this paper indicates that mass invasions have to originate from northern Russia. However, only in Denmark there was one Russian northern hawk owl ring recovery.

Further ring recoveries and preferably GPS tagging and satellite tracking of the northern hawk owls are awaited to have a better picture of invasion movements and future conservation needs.
The Syro-Lebanese from ‘Syriban’: Nostalgia, Partition, and Coexistence in Eveline Bustros’ Imagined Homeland
Authors: Donovan Joshua
Published: June 2023

This article offers new insights into nostalgia and nationalism in the Syrian/Lebanese diaspora through the literary, artistic, and philanthropic work of Eveline Bustros (1878–1971). It relies on her underexplored published works as well as a rare collection of Bustros’ personal correspondence, journals, photographs, and speeches compiled by her family. After World War I, the French partitioned Bilad al-Sham into multiple polities and inaugurated a new citizenship regime dividing erstwhile Ottoman Syrians into categories of “Syrian” and “Lebanese.” In the midst of these geopolitical changes, Bustros and her family lived in Paris, where she began her celebrated literary career. Although she was a committed Lebanese nationalist, Bustros articulated hybrid notions of identity that elided distinctions between “Syrians” and “Lebanese.” Confronted with reports of sectarian violence during the Syrian Revolt (1925–1927), Bustros used her writings to grapple with the feasibility of peaceful coexistence in the Levant. Upon returning to Lebanon, she became a leading member in Lebanon’s early feminist movement while maintaining deep, affective connections to the Syrian interior. Bustros’ life and work complicate understandings of diasporic nationalism and nostalgia by highlighting fluid identities shaped by multidirectional bourgeois mobility, inviting scholars to consider nationalisms beyond the confines of the nation-state.
Depression during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Are there Differences by Type of Housing and Housing Tenure?
Authors:   Korean Association for Housing Policy Studies, Yoon Chaeyoung , Jin Jangik
Published: June 2023

Living environment can be a significant factor that increases individual depression during the Covid-19 period. In a special situation where the time spent at home is extended, the characteristics of the house itself may exacerbate the negative psychological state of residents. This is because high-density housing not only makes it difficult to maintain the social distancing, but also increases anxiety of infection from neighbors, which can amplify feelings of depression. Additionally, the overall economic downturn due to the Covid-19 could present more serious potential threat to tenants than to homeowners. With this perspective, this study empirically analyzes the direct and indirect effects of residents’ housing type and housing tenure on depression caused by Covid-19 pandemic through the 2020 Seoul Survey data. Path analysis of the structural equation models is used to explain the complex relationship between variables. In addition, gender and age are classified to determine whether different characteristics appear between each housing and depression. Our results show that living in an apt is negatively related to the residents’ depression. However, findings show that housing tenure is not associated with the depression during the pandemic. The results of this study are meaningful in that we studied how people’s residence is related to depression in the prolonged Covid-19 period by empirical data.

Published: June 2023

The biggest challenge in developing digital talent in tertiary institutions is viewing digital reform as a massive entity. Therefore, it is rare to focus on the values of developing digital talent for existing education personnel. Using a growth theory mindset, the research focuses on Working Period, Performance, and Qualification, to see the relationship with Talented education staff. The research uses a sequential explanatory design. The sample consisted of 29 ASNs in one of the faculties of a state university in Indonesia, with random sampling using the online Sample Size Calculator. Questionnaire data were analyzed by SPSS, while interviews with NVivo-12 Pro. The results reveal that both the Working Period, Qualification, and Performance variables correlate with the Talented education of staff. The direction of the relationship also has a positive (+) value. However, qualitative analysis revealed that the activities carried out were more directed at fulfilling the main duties and functions. Behind that, the biggest challenge for them is when dealing with students, who generally come from the digital generation. Therefore, digital reform in higher education also pays attention to developing digital talent for education staff.

Published: June 2023

Indonesia is currently entering a new normal era; this requires people to adapt to the clean-living habit in accordance with health standards in order to carry out normal activities. At the same time, online transportation services have reopened for activity. The service quality provided by online ride-hailing companies (i.e., ojek) such as Gojek, Grab, and Maxim must now consider matters relating to user safety. This study proposes Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) as a method for assessing the service quality of online transportation service providers and uses the Pandemic-SERVQUAL 4.0 model. Pandemi-SERVQUAL 4.0 model adds two new criteria, namely "pandemic" and "industry 4.0". The addition of two new criteria that are more relevant to the current circumstances will increase the accuracy of the research. This study aims to propose the integration of Interval Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (IVIF-AHP) to determine the criteria weight and Interval Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Weighted Aggregated Sum-Product Assessment (IVIF-WASPAS) to assess the service quality of several online transportation service providers based on the obtained criteria weights. From the results of the service quality assessment using the integration of IVIF-AHP and IVIF-WASPAS, the ranking of online transportation service providers during the new normal era were Grab-car, Go-car, and Maxim-car.

Published: June 2023

Presence greatly affects user experience and comfort when using virtual reality (VR). Presence is often associated with personal factors such as sex differences and experience using the instrument. There is a research gap related to presence judging by several studies, so it is an interesting topic for further study. This research aims to identify the effect of sex differences and experience using VR on presence. This study used two approaches namely subjective indicators by employing an Igroup Presence Questionnaire (IPQ) and objective indicators in the form of heart rate (HR) and task scores. The study made use of Kruskal-Wallis and MANOVA to determine whether there is an effect of sex differences and experience in using VR on presence. This study found that the sex variable affects a person's presence when playing VR, especially spatial score on the IPQ test, where women have a higher marginal means value than men. Another finding is that the experience of playing VR affects the delta heart rate, with the result that someone with no experience using VR is higher than those who have used VR before.

Published: June 2023

The article discusses various aspects of the biome division of the Russian Arctic and its significance for assessing climatic and anthropogenic changes in ecosystems. Different authors base the biome differentiation of the Arctic on the zonal-provincial principle, which takes into account the latitudinal temperature gradient and the meridional gradient of the continentality of the climate. As a result, from 6 to 20 or more biomes are allocated directly for the Russian Arctic to assess conveniently biodiversity, the response of ecosystems to climate change, to form a representative network of protected natural areas, etc. To characterize the climate and biodiversity, the authors use the schemes of biome division of the Russian Arctic, presented on the existing versions of maps of Russian biomes [10; 18]. They give quantitative characteristics of biomes that are important in relation to the regulation of economic activity and optimization of the territorial protection of biota and ecosystems in the Arctic.

The authors consider the potential and technical resources of wind energy in the Western sector of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. They have stated that increased wind speeds take place in the Arctic coastal areas. Their average annual values ​​at a height of 10 m reach 6—8 m/s. The strongest winds are observed in winter. It is during this period that the demand for heat and electricity from all categories of consumers is maximum, which is a significant prerequisite for the use of wind energy. On the example of the Murmansk region, the authors show the prospects for the use of wind-driven power plants (WPPs) for the production of electricity as part of the Kola electric power system, where there are 17 hydroelectric power plants that can compensate for the variability in the supply of wind energy. Promising is the joint work of WPPs with diesel power plants and boiler plants. The positive effect of such work is expressed in saving the imported fuel and reducing harmful emissions into the environment. The authors propose promising sites for the construction of energy complexes focused on the production of environmentally friendly hydrogen through the use of high-potential wind resources.

This research is applied in terms of purposeful sampling and descriptive comparative in terms of data collection. The statistical population of the present study included adolescent weightlifters and adults. Eligible people who volunteered to participate in the study were selected through the virtual groups of this field. And they answered the self-talk questionnaire in sports by Zervas et al., (2007). To determine the sample size, the number of 5 to 10 times the questions, the statistical sample was selected. Multivariate variance analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the data in the research. The findings showed that cognitive and motivational self-talk was preferable in adult weightlifters than in adolescents. There is a significant difference between the self-talk of elite weightlifters based on the snatch, clean, and jerk movements. In general conclusion, it should be stated that to train a full-fledged athlete in this Olympic field, in addition to basic and strength training, psychological training such as self-talk training should be done for the athletes of this field.

Physical activity (PA) can provide self-control in regulating individuals’ nutritional behaviors and physically active individuals tend to adopt healthier dietary habits compared to less physically active ones. There is a growing interest in the concept of mindful eating (ME) and intuitive eating (IE) in modulating healthy dietary habits. The significance of PA on IE and ME as well as the relationship between them is not clear in the literature. Thus, this study evaluated the effects of PA level on IE and ME. Using convenience sampling, a total of 423 participants, with n = 205 healthy females (M =26.00, SD =7.33 years; M =21.96, SD =3.40 kg/m−2) and n= 218 healthy males (M =25.95, SD =6.32 years; M =24.56, SD =3.41 kg/m−2), participated in this study. Participants completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, Intuitive Eating Scale-2, Mindful Eating Questionnaire, and Eating Attitudes Test. Student’s t-test or Mann–Whitney U test for two-group comparisons, as well as Kruskal–Wallis H test or one-way ANOVA for three-group comparisons, were conducted for statistical analyses, and a multiple linear regression analysis was used. However, IE and ME total scores were not significantly different among inactive, minimally active, and sufficiently active participants in both genders. According to multiple linear regression analysis, the effect of the total PA score on IE and ME was not found to be significant. The relationship between PA, IE, and ME is not visible. Thus, further studies are needed to develop effective intervention strategies in both general and clinical populations.

La adolescencia es una etapa que se caracteriza por múltiples cambios a nivel biopsicosocial. Durante esta etapa el individuo por su capacidad resolutiva podría percibir las situaciones más estresantes y generar malestar en el adolescente. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar la relación entre autoeficacia, estrés percibido y malestar psicológico en adolescentes. Se contó con una muestra de 5.132 adolescentes de los cuales, 2.582 eran hombres (50.3 %) y 2.550 mujeres (49.7 %) del distrito 18D02 de la provincia de Tungurahua. Se trabajó con un diseño no experimental, enfoque cuantitativo, alcance correlacional y de corte transversal. La evaluación se realizó a través de la Escala de Autoeficacia General (EAG), Escala de Estrés Percibido- EEP (PSS4; Perceived Stress Scale) y Escala de Malestar Psicológico de Kessler K10 (Kessler Psychological Distress Scale K10) todas validadas en población ecuatoriana. Los resultados señalaron una correlación positiva entre autoeficacia y afrontamiento de estrés lo cual indica que, a mayor autoeficacia, mayor será el afrontamiento de estrés, así también, el malestar psicológico correlaciona positiva y significativamente con percepción de estrés. Se concluye que la autoeficacia al ser un constructo psicológico que se relaciona con las variables estudiadas sugiere una intervención temprana y oportuna que podría evitar conductas de riesgo en este grupo etario
