Walking with and in-between: Interrogating tensions in a public garden space
Authors: Osler Patricia
Published: April 2021

An embodied becoming-with of artist, visitor and curator forms intriguing tensions at the Jardins de Métis (Reford Gardens) in Quebec, Canada. Collecting the resonant material, human, non-human and more-than-human frequencies in both a heritage setting and an international festival of landscape design, my research emerged intuitively. Frequent event-encounters coalesced into two audiowalks, amplifying psychogeographic tensions within the multiple narratives of the environment. A new project is unfolding in these gardens in collaboration with the Montreal Museum of Fine Art’s Innovation Lab, incubating a design for an interactive multisensory interface. Through walking as event-experience, a layered assemblage of site images and agential intra-actions queries the multiple tensions at play.
Re-storying place: The pedagogical force of walking in the work of Indigenous artist-activists Émilie Monnet and Cam
Authors: Feinberg Pohanna Pyne
Published: April 2021

Walking plays a generative and pedagogical role in the work of contemporary artists Émilie Monnet (Anishnaabe/French) and Cam (Innu/Québecois), both of whom work and live in the region known as a Tiohtià:ke to the Haudenosaunee, as Mooniyang to the Anishinaabeg, and as Montréal to many others. This article proposes that recent artistic interventions and participatory projects offered by Monnet and Cam infuse the international discourse about walking as a pedagogical force with their distinct perspectives as Indigenous women. They employ walking to reinforce their presence, to learn from place, to contest colonial narratives and exclusions conveyed by visual culture, to honour their ancestors, to indigenize collective memory by amplifying Indigenous voices and contributing to the re-storying of place, a concept inspired by Potawatomi environmental biologist Robin Kimmerer. Monnet is an interdisciplinary artist who combines theatre, performance, image and sound art as a performer, creator and director. She is also the founding director of Onishka, an mutlimedia Indigenous arts organization. Cam is a street artist and the lead coordinator of Unceded Voices, a street art convergence for artists who are Indigenous women, women of colour, queer, two-spirit and gender non-conforming. She is also currently the national coordinator of the Aboriginal Curatorial Collective. With a shared awareness that the dynamics that comprise place are intrinsically relational and dialogical, the work of Cam and Monnet intervenes in the felt and seen world to reinforce their sense of belonging to this region. Walking is integral to their respective research, creation and collaboration that enables their work to contest dominant colonial narratives while honouring the contributions of those who have been disavowed.
Manifesto-ação, Paulínia, Brazil: Activism in walking as a dancing action
Authors: da Rosa Laís Cardoso , Rodriguez Costas Ana Maria
Published: April 2021

We have been investigating practices of walking as a dancing action since 2017, and experiencing its political and pedagogical potential. In this sense, walking, besides being a strategy for artistic creation, is also a construction of embodied knowledge and incorporated citizenship. In Brazil in 2020, with a presidency that threatens art, culture, education and democracy, occupying the streets and walking through them have never been so necessary. Thus, we present in this article, based on the practices of walking as a dancing action we have been investigating, a Manifesto-ação that proposes local actions for discovering ways to keep going on the street in Brazil today.

Mirror reflections in sport: A compilation study
Authors: Ceylan Gizem , Tuncel Semiyha
Published: April 2021

Mirrors in sports halls have changed from an accessory view to an educational material view for the individual who teaches and learns physical activities (dance, boxing, pilates, zumba, gymnastics, etc.) in which visual learning is predominant. In this context, the aim of our research is to examine the studies carried out on 'mirrors in sports' in the field of sports, and to find out what kind of effect the educational environment is mirrored on teaching, learning and psycho-social processes of individuals. In the study, in which the thematic review design was used, a detailed literature review was made, and the research data were obtained by examining the resources from journals, books, theses and papers within the scope of Google Scholar, Pubmed and Yöktez. Document analysis method was used in the analysis of the data obtained. As a result, the achievable national and international studies on mirrors; mirrors provide an advantage in skill learning for the individual who provides education and training during learning, but in the process of learning, especially in professional athletes, if the use of mirrors continues, proprioception (deep sensation) and kinesthesia (joint position awareness) may cause regression and in individual sports branches where visual learning method is used and It has also been observed that the use of mirrors in physical activities involving group exercises may have negative psycho-social effects for beginner athletes or sedentary individuals.

Sonuç olarak aynalarla ilgili ulaşılabilinen ulusal ve uluslararası çalışmaların; aynaların öğrenme esnasında eğitim veren ve eğitim alan birey açısından beceri öğreniminde bir avantaj sağladığı ancak öğrenme sonrasındaki süreçte özellikle profesyonel sporcularda ayna kullanımının sürekliliği halinde propriyosepsiyon (derin duyum) ile kinesteziyi (eklem poziyon farkındalığı) gerilemeye neden olabileceği ve görerek öğrenme yönteminin kullanıldığı bireysel spor dallarında ve grup egzersizlerinin söz konusu olduğu fiziksel aktivitelerde ayna kullanımının başlangıç düzeyindeki sporcular ya da sedanter bireyler için psiko-sosyal açıdan olumsuz etkilere neden olabileceği de gözlemlenmiştir.
Examining “Eclektic”, “Kitch” “Neoclasic” and “Orientalist” architectural production methods on university structures
Authors: Yıldız Kuyrukçu Emine , Ünal Hatice Ülkü
Published: April 2021

Postmodern architectural products that can be described as kitsch have become rapidly consumed objects because they have appealed to the whole society. As a demand stimulating, easily comprehensible, and rapidly consumable product, kitsch has gained an important place in postmodern culture and architecture. These features of kitsch have easily made it a paradoxical part of consumption culture. After the Neoclassical boom in the 18th century, architectural movements such as Eclecticism, Orientalism, and Historicism became widespread in the 19th century. Towards the end of the 20th century, these tendencies came to the fore again within the Postmodern paradigm, and new kitsch architectural structures have begun to be produced in these undertakings in accordance with the spirit of the period. Eclecticism which has become prominent again in postmodern architecture has been referred to as neo-eclecticism or eclectic populism and has been defined as a style that ‘complexity, uncertainty and contradictions’ are expressed, ‘references from history and symbolic elements are used. Together with various historical forms in the postmodern period, orientalist images have been also used. Images consisting of stylized views of the Western culture on the Orient and that are not based on an authentic eastern depiction have been used in the production of orientalist architectural form.
In recent years, eclectic, kitsch, orientalist, neoclassical forms that are independent of context and time have been frequently encountered in architectural applications in also Turkey. On one hand, elements from Turkish culture have been used and on the other hand, architectural elements from foreign cultures have been preferred. It is seen that there have been contradictions between form and meaning in educational structures built in Turkey during the period that the paradigms of the Postmodern era have been dominant. In this study, it is aimed to read and analyze the concepts of kitsch, eclecticism, neoclassicism, orientalism in the postmodern paradigm on recent university buildings and campus portals. In line with this purpose, an extensive literature research was conducted within the scope of the study; in the case study, recent university buildings and portals were analyzed in terms of postmodernism, the historical periods and architectural elements they derived were determined.
Effects of a 16-Week Multimodal Exercise Program on Physical Performance in Individuals With Dementia: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Barisch-Fritz Bettina , Trautwein Sandra , Scharpf Andrea , Krell-Roesch Janina , Woll Alexander
Published: April 2021

Background and Purpose:

Dementia affects physical as well as cognitive performance. In individuals with dementia (IWD), decline in physical performance increases with disease progression and is associated with higher functional dependence and decreased quality of life. It is paramount to examine factors that potentially preserve physical performance in IWD, particularly in light of conflicting findings on the effectiveness of physical activity interventions on physical performance of IWD, mainly due to limited number of high-quality studies, large heterogeneity in methods used, or insufficient reporting of methods. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 16-week multimodal exercise program (MEP) combining physical and cognitive tasks on physical performance in IWD, and to identify individual characteristics of MEP responders.

Methods:

A multicenter randomized controlled trial with assessment methods identified by an expert panel was conducted. We included 319 IWD of mild to moderate severity, older than 65 years, who underwent a standardized MEP specifically designed for IWD. At baseline and immediately after the MEP, we assessed physical performance (ie, mobility, balance, and strength) and function of lower extremities (primary outcomes). Potential effects of the MEP on physical performance were identified using 2-factor analyses of variance with repeated measurements within 2 samples (ie, intention-to-treat and per-protocol sample). Additionally, we compared characteristics related to physical performance between positive, non-, and negative responders.

Results and Discussion:

Neither analysis procedure revealed statistically significant time×group effects. However, 28% to 40% of participants were positive responders with regard to balance, and strength and function of lower extremities; and these persons had statistically significant lower baseline performance in the corresponding assessments.

Conclusions:

This randomized controlled trial revealed no overall effects of the MEP on physical performance, probably due to high heterogeneity of the study sample. Findings in responder analysis showed that IWD with lower physical performance at baseline tended to benefit more than those with higher baseline performance. Thus, a higher degree of individualization of the MEP depending on baseline performance on IWD may improve overall MEP effectiveness.
Strength and Conditioning for Cricket Spin Bowlers
Authors: Mathankar Apurva , S Kirti
Published: April 2021

Although the popularity of cricket is increasing, there is a lack of strength and conditioning research into position-specific roles. Much of the available research on cricket spin bowling is based on ball swing, flight, deviation, and its principles. Less is known about the demands of the cricket spin bowler (needs analysis) and the specific training methods needed for the optimal performance of the athlete. Spin bowlers are considered to play a crucial role in bowling attacks against the batting team. The batsman is deceived by the spin bowler by adding revolutions to the ball and thus deviates it off the wicket. Therefore, to improve the cricket team's performance, it is prudent to focus on improving the performance of the team's spin bowlers. needs analysis based on a review of literature in the area of biomechanics, time-motion analysis, physiology, and injury epidemiology specific to cricket spin bowlers is provided in this article. Based on these analyses, practical considerations and guidelines for the implementation of strength and conditioning programs for the spin bowlers are provided.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: Various fitness challenges had been invented and innovated in order to integrate exercise in life, especially during the new norm of Covid-19 pandemic. There is a lack of study on the effect of push-up exercise on sedentary women. The study aimed to compare the effects of six-week push-up (PU) and low-load bench press (BP) exercise interventions towards muscular strength (MS) and muscular endurance (ME) among healthy sedentary female youth. Methodology: Forty (n= 40) healthy sedentary female youth (aged 18.93 ±.97 years; body mass index 23.44 ±4.5 kg/m2) were recruited in the study. Participants were divided into two groups of training interventions (push-up and bench press group). Resistance exercise intervention involving four sessions per week for six consecutive weeks. Each session comprised of 3 sets of 12 repetitions with one minute of rest between each set. Bench press exercise was performed at 40% 1RM for bench press group. One-repetition maximum bench press (1RM BP) test and one-minute push-up (1Min PU) test were performed at pre and post-intervention to measure muscular strength and muscular endurance. A 2 x 2 mixed model ANOVA was employed to compare the effects of the two interventions following six-weeks of training. Result: Muscular strength and muscular endurance for the push-up group have significantly improved (p < .05), with at the end of the intervention were 59.75 ±13.91 and 45.05 ±6.59 as compared to during the pre-intervention of 42.0± 11.40 and 28.95 ±5.93, respectively. A similar result also found for bench press group. Muscular strength and muscular endurance for bench press group had significantly increased (p < .05), from the pre-test of 44.50 ±9.58 and 29.95 ±6.28 to the post-test of 60.25 ±10.45 and 41.45 ±6.20, respectively. However, there is no significant difference observed between groups (bench press and push-up protocols) on muscular strength (p= .661) and muscular endurance (p= .472). Conclusions: The present study concludes that push-up and low-load bench press exercise interventions do significantly improve muscular strength and muscular endurance of sedentary female youth, with push-up as an alternative for bench press for sedentary female youth.

Authors: Lew Philip Chun Foong , Wong Rebecca Sook Kwan
Published: April 2021

The attention in the society and rapid expansion of interest on the status and challenges of mental health among sporting athletes, especially in the elite sports setting, had increased exponentially. The present study was aimed to explore and gain a better understanding of mental health and psychological well-being of Malaysian elite athletes. It also provides insights into a broader aspect based on participants’ personal experiences.  A semi-structured interview was conducted for all 32 athletes (male, n=16; female, n=16) from a variety of sport: individual, team-sports; able-bodied, and Paralympic. Participants were aged between 19-38 years old (mean 25.69 years) from various ethnicity and religions. Six (6) themes (Personal understanding on mental health; Stigma of mental health; Symptoms, effects and sources of mental health; Coping strategies; Mental health and well-being support; Advice of athletes) and 19 subthemes were derived based on qualitative thematic analysis. Based on the analysis, subthemes, i.e. Presentation in mass media; Transition; Personal life-related issues; Performance expectation; Sporting environment are significant stressors causing mental health issues. The influence of spirituality and religion on the topic of mental health was also being highlighted. In conclusion, it is hopeful that the present study will stimulate interest and discussion in identifying methods and direction for both researchers and practitioners in bridging the theoretical-applied gap and offer effective supports to Malaysian athletes.
CHEERLEADERS’ MOTIVATION AND READINESS TO RETURN TO SPORT FOLLOWING INJURY
Authors: Cornelius Cynthia Anne , Tan Brandon Leng Wei
Published: April 2021

Returning to sport following an injury is a process that is riddled with difficulties, especially so for competitive athletes. This is a quantitative research employed survey method. A total of 130 cheerleaders (age = 25.66 ± 4.928 years old) participated in this study where they have suffered from an injury that has put them out from sports for 1 - 4 weeks. Two inventories were completed: 1) Adapted Sport Motivation Scale and 2) Readiness to Return to Sport Questionnaire. The demographic data collected were age, team cheer division, position in team and injury duration. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (Pearson product-moment correlation, Independent T-test and One-way ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. Results from the study showed that there were significant effects (p <0.05) of intrinsic motivation (toward accomplishment and experience stimulation) and extrinsic motivation (identified regulation, introjected and external regulation) of athletes towards returning to sport after injury. This demonstrated that motivation significantly influenced athletes’ readiness to return to sport following an injury. Correlation analyses revealed that the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation towards athletes’ readiness to return to sports following injury were associated with a positive renewed perspective on engaging in sports. As the athletes perceived themselves to be psychologically ready to return to sport after injury; it also reflected on their self-determination to attempt the sport again without fear, worry, concern and anxiety of reinjure from occurring. This study indicated the importance of motivation in assisting injured athletes in returning to sport. Most athletes returned to sport because of others’ expectations on themselves although they were not fully mentally prepared to return to sport due to their fear and concerns of performing at peak performance again.

Authors: Aziz Mohamad Azwan , Abu Hanifah Redzal
Published: April 2021

The purpose of this study is to describe the resting electrocardiogram (ECG) seen among 176 professional male footballers from Sabah Football Association Club during preparticipation evaluation. Data were analysed retrospectively from 2017 to 2019. Majority of the players were Sabah natives (n=153, 87%) while the remaining were Malay footballers (n=23, 13%). Mean age of the players was 19.9 ± 3.1, mean body mass index was 22.6 kg/m2 ± 7, mean resting heart rate was 53.6 beats per minute ± 9.4, mean systolic blood pressure was 122.3 mmHg ± 12, and mean diastolic blood pressure was 65.1 mmHg ± 8.8. Using the International Criteria for ECG Interpretation in Athletes 2017 consensus guidelines, 8.5% (n=15) had abnormal ECG while 2.8% (n=5) had borderline ECG. The most common ECG changes seen in the normal findings were sinus bradycardia (n=123, 69.9%), early repolarization (n=115, 65.3%) and left ventricular hypertrophy (n=83,47.2%). Abnormal ECGs were abnormal t wave inversion (n=7,4.0%) and pre-excitation syndrome (n=5,2.9%). All footballers with abnormal ECG findings were subjected to further evaluation by a cardiologist using echocardiography assessment and exercise stress test. They passed the cardiology assessment; thus, they were deemed fit to play. ECG is a valuable tool for pre-participation health screening prior to exercise or sports participation, as it is vital for a physician to identify any abnormal ECG to minimise the risk of sudden cardiac death during exercise due to cardiac pathology.
A TRIATHLETE WITH MEDIAL MENISCUS TEAR AND SUBCHONDRAL INSUFFICIENCY FRACTURE
Authors: Naing Azlan M. , G.M. Mariam
Published: April 2021

Subchondral insufficiency fracture of the knee (SIFK) is an important differential diagnosis for knee pain. If diagnosed early, SIFK can be treated conservatively with non-weight bearing ambulation. If left untreated, this disease may lead to catastrophic complications such as subchondral fragment detachment and fragmentation or subchondral collapse which will warrant the need for surgical intervention. The author reports a 44-year-old triathlete that presented with complaint of a trivial left anteromedial knee pain for one-year duration. This disease presented at an unusual site of the medial tibial condyle. Moreover, the patient is a healthy triathlete that does not have any predisposing factors for SIFK. Magnetic resonance imaging showed subchondral insufficiency fracture of the medial tibial condyle with a complex multi-directional medial meniscus tear in the same knee. Could the undiagnosed medial meniscus injury be the causation leading to the development of SIFK? Here, the author will summarize the literature on various clinical features, work-up and management of SIFK.

Published: April 2021

Palestinian cyber capabilities are still at their early formative stage, On the other hand, Israeli cyber capabilities are not comparable to the nascent Palestinian cyber capabilities. However, hacking and social media, particularly Facebook, are among the most important tools of Palestinian-Israeli cyber conflict, where Israel is much superior to Palestinians, mainly due to its control over the telecommunications and internet infrastructure in Palestine. Nevertheless, Palestinian cyber teams have confused Israeli politicians after succeeding to carry out effective hacking attacks against Israel. Evidently, there are signs that cyber-attacks between Palestinians and Israelis are likely to increase steadily.

Published: April 2021

Rusya tarihsel olarak deniz gücünü ve unsurlarını, stratejik sürekliliğin getirdiği kazanımlar aracılığıyla yaygın bir dış politika aracına dönüştürmüştür. Stratejik süreklilik Rus jeopolitik hafızasının gelişimine ve güncelliğini korumasına zemin hazırlamıştır. Çar I. Petro’dan itibaren düzenli bir donanma inşa eden Rusya, stratejik ve jeopolitik genişlemesini deniz gücü unsurlarıyla desteklemiştir. Çariçe II. Katerina’nın öncüllüğünde ise Baltıklar, Karadeniz ve Akdeniz havzalarındaki hâkimiyetini güçlendirmiştir. Rus İmparatorluğu, SSCB ve RF’nun deniz stratejilerindeki süreklilik, benzerlik ve tamamlayıcılık oldukça dikkat çekmektedir. Makalede söz konusu stratejik sürekliliğin içeriği, Rus deniz gücünün tarihsel tekâmülü ve Akdeniz’e yönelik politikalar çerçevesinde ayrıntılı bir şekilde incelenmektedir.
Neoliberalizm, Merkez Bankası Bağımsızlığı ve Baskı Gruplarının Rolü
Authors: YILMAZ Ragıp , ARSLAN Salih
Published: April 2021

Çalışma Türkiye’de etkili baskı gruplarından biri olan TÜSİAD’ın Merkez Bankasının (MB) bağımsız kurum haline gelmesindeki rolünü araştırmaktadır. Analiz materyali olarak 1980-2000 yılları arasında TÜSİAD’ın yayınladığı raporlar seçilmiştir. Bu raporlarda yer alan MB bağımsızlığına ilişkin ifadeler eleştirel söylem analizi (ESA) yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular TÜSİAD’ın neoliberal sisteme uyumu, batılı gelişmiş ülkelerle entegrasyonu, siyasal istikrarsızlıkları ve fiyat istikrarını gerekçe göstererek MB bağımsızlığını savunduğunu ve desteklediğini göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, MB bağımsızlığına yönelik taleplerin, küreselleşmenin meşrulaştırıcı ideolojisi olan neoliberal projenin öngördüğü gerekliliklerden kaynaklandığı tespit edilmiştir.
Экспериментальные исследования и визуализация современных тектонических движений восточной части Воронежского кристаллического массива
Authors: Панжин Андрей Алексеевич
Published: April 2021

Bведение: Рассматриваются методика и результаты экспериментальных исследований современных тектонических движений Воронежского кристаллического массива (ВКМ) с использованием данных деформационного мониторинга, и связанные с ними вопросы моделирования природных, техногенных, и экологических систем. Методика: Обозначены основные положения методики мониторинга и визуализации современных тектонических движений в виде векторного поля по результатам цикловых геодезических измерений. Результаты и обсуждение: Показано, что в качестве ключевого источника информации о тектонических движениях, проводимых на больших пространственно-временных базах, целесообразно использовать не абсолютные значения величин векторов сдвижений наблюдательных пунктов, а их скорости, приведенные к годовому циклу. Заключение: На основании экспериментальных данных установлен вихревой характер современных тектонических движений как индикатор активных тектонических нарушений.
Плио-плейстоценовые герпетофауны окрестностей села Коротояк (Воронежская область)
Authors: Ратников Вячеслав Юрьевич
Published: April 2021

Введение: На юго-восточной окраине села Коротояк (Воронежская область) в трех местонахождениях разного возраста (Коротояк-1, Коротояк-3 и Коротояк-4) найдены остатки земноводных и пресмыкающихся. Целью статьи является информация о результатах определения этих остатков и их интерпретация. Систематическая часть. Приводятся описания и идентификация найденных костей амфибий и рептилий. Обсуждение и выводы. Всего две кости, идентифицированные как Pelophylax ridibundus и Natrix sp., происходят из местонахождения Коротояк-1 позднеплиоценового возраста. В раннеэоплейстоценовом местонахождении Коротояк-3 были определены Palaeobatrachus sp. – 1, Bufo sp. – 2, Anura indet. – 2, Lacertidae indet. – 1, Serpentes indet. – 2. Коллекция Коротояк-4 мучкапского возраста включает Bombina sp. – 1, Pelobates sp. – 5, Palaeobatrachus sp. – 1, Bufo verrucosissimus – 1, Bufo sp. – 3, Pelophylax ridibundus – 1, Rana temporaria – 2, Rana sp. – 1, Ranidae indet. – 3, Lacerta cf. agilis – 1, Elaphe dione – 2, Colubridae indet. – 1, Vipera sp. – 1. Остатки амфибий и рептилий во всех местонахождениях говорят о благоприятных условиях среды во время их формирования. Находки остатков Bufo sp. и Palaeobatrachus sp. свидетельствуют о сравнительно влажных лесных условиях во время формирования местонахождения Коротояк-3. Герпетофауна местонахождения Коротояк-4 позволяет предположить существование лиственного или смешанного леса и более теплый по сравнению с нынешним климат. В ее составе найдены современные виды, ареалы которых находятся вдалеке от местонахождения. Bufo verrucosissimus обитает ныне на Кавказе. Северная граница ареала Elaphe dione в настоящее время проходит через Ростовскую область. Сфенэтмоид палеобатрахуса найден на территории Восточно-Европейской равнины впервые. Этот экземпляр в деталях отличается от всех находок сфенэтмоидов в Западной и Центральной Европе. Однако из-за невозможности оценить изменчивость этого элемента скелета он определен только до родового уровня. Три фрагмента этой коллекции имеют патологические изменения: срастание позвонков у чесночницы и утолщение под котилярным ободом на позвонках узорчатого полоза и гадюки.
Мощность земной коры территории Республики Нигер по данным стохастической интерпретации гравитационного поля
Authors: Глазнев Виктор Николаевич , Якуба Ибрагим Абдоу
Published: April 2021

Введение: Территория Республики Нигер и прилегающих стран Западной Африки относится к областям слабо обеспеченным данными наземных и аэрогеофизических съёмок, нацеленными на региональное изучение земной коры. Цель настоящей статьи – обобщение данных наземных и спутниковых съёмок гравитационного поля, предназначенных для изучения земной коры в условиях неполноты исходной геолого-геофизической информации. Задачей последующей интерпретации выявляемых гравитационных аномалий является создание обновлённой схемы мощности земной коры территории Республики Нигер, для которой до настоящего времени известно несколько существенно различных вариантов строения коры. Методика: Объединение результатов наземных гравиметрических съёмок 60-х годов и современных цифровых спутниковых моделей гравитационного поля с целью формирования синтетической модели аномального поля, пригодной для последующей его интерпретации на основе использования самой общей стохастической модели с сингулярными источниками в горизонтальном слое. Результаты и обсуждение: Результаты интерпретации гравитационных аномалий на основе стохастической модели источников поля позволили составить карту оценок мощности земной коры для территории исследований и сопредельных областей. Построенная схема, сопоставленная с результатами предшествующих работ по определению мощности земной коры, демонстрирует значимые различия моделей коры, особенно в восточной части региона. Выполненный анализ статистической связи полученных оценок мощности земной коры и усреднённых величин рельефа территории демонстрирует некоторую тенденцию связи между этими параметрами, что позволяет сделать вывод о частичной изостатической компенсации для крупных блоков коры региона. Анализ данных по мощности земной коры и схемы поверхностных геолого-тектонических элементов строения территории Республики Нигер позволил наметить связи геодинамической эволюции коры с положением границы раздела кора-мантия. Заключение: Составленная синтетическая модель гравитационного поля в редукции Буге может служить достоверной основой при решении задач регионального гравиметрического моделирования. Результаты стохастической интерпретации гравитационного поля региона позволили получить оценки мощности земной коры изучаемой территории в рамках принятой модели слоя со случайным распределением плотностных неоднородностей. Сопоставление полученных оценок мощности земной коры с данными стандартной модели CRUST1 демонстрирует существенное несоответствие последней для изучаемой территории. Анализ новых данных о мощности земной коры позволил наметить особенности глубинного строения блоков литосферы, отождествляемых с крупными элементами тектонической схемы территории Республики Нигер.
