Published: July 2023

This study was conducted to examine the ameliorative effects of foliar application of some micro-algal (Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina platensis) and some medicinal plant leaves (Salix alba, Psidium guajava, and Olea europaea) extracts on Phaseolus vulgaris (Bean) under salinity stress. On a loamy soil, a pots trial was carried out on bean plants grown under salinity stress. Growth characteristics, pigments, osmolytes, total phenol, and antioxidant enzyme contents were determined. S. platensis extract application showed the greatest improvement in shoot length and fresh weight of shoot, which rose 23.5% and 65.1%, respectively compared to the control. The utilized bio-stimulants, particularly S. platensis extracts, remarkably increased the chlorophyll content compared to the control under salinity stress. The photosynthetic pigment, soluble sugars, and soluble protein levels were strengthened by foliar application of bio-stimulant extract. Proline and antioxidant enzyme levels are significantly reduced using algal and plant extracts treatment. These findings support the treatment’s increased contribution to reducing salt stress and their detrimental effects on bean plants.The findings of this study indicate that the use of these biostimulants, especially S. alba, P. guajava, and O. europaea leaf extracts can be considered as an unconventional, ecofriendly, and novel tool in the mitigation of salinity stress.

Authors: Kuzugüdenli Emre
Published: July 2023

The present study aims to identify the relations between the wood production (m3 per year) of the black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold.) and its habitat characteristics in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. A total of 120 samplings with different aspects, site altitudes, and site classes were studied. In each sample area, at least 5 trees were designated, and soil samples were taken by excavating earth pits. Certain characteristics of the soil samples were identified in the laboratory environment. The relations between the dominant height values of the trees in the sample areas and soil, climate, and physiographic factors were analyzed using correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and artificial neural network methods. Significant relations between the wood production values of the trees in the sample areas and slope from physiographic habitat characteristics, average annual temperature from climate characteristics, and pH and total carbonate from soil characteristics were found. The wood production of black pine was explained by multiple regression analysis at a level of 22.4% and by artificial neural network method at 72%.

Published: July 2023

Silica (SiO2) from rice husk was coated with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as an adsorbent to adsorb phenol from river water. The structure of SiO2 and SiO2-MNPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed a rod shape, with a rough surface area in the range of 2 to 3 µm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were used to examine the resulting spherical shape of the synthesized SiO2-MNP. The results showed a range of 1.3 to 1.5 nm for SiO2 and 4.2 to 6.4 nm for SiO2-MNP. Vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) showed an Fe value of 45.1% in SiO2-MNP (VSM); for MNP, SiO2, SiO2-MNP 104.12, 4.72, and 8.01 emu/g, respectively. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to study the parameters and responses to obtain an optimized condition in SiO2-MNPs usage. The optimized parameters were extraction time selected at 5 min, pH 8, 8 mL acetonitrile as solvent and 15 min as sonication time. The application of SiO2-MNPs was applied to real water samples, with recovery of 84% of phenol. Thus, the synthesized adsorbent, SiO2-MNPs, was developed successfully for phenol removal from water samples.

Violencia, valor y resistencia en la migración centroamericana en tránsito. Una propuesta para su análisis
Authors: Salazar Araya Sergio
Published: August 2023

A partir de trabajo etnográfico en Centroamérica y México se delinea una estrategia de análisis de la migración centroamericana en tránsito desde una perspectiva antropológica. Los procesos migratorios son producidos desde una específica distribución social transnacional de trabajo que se espacializa en ensamblajes desde los que se realizan las labores necesarias para producir formas de movilidad. Esta distribución implica las propias acciones de traslado, estructuradas por violencias vinculadas a la extracción de formas de valor a partir de la movilidad de una población despojada, explotada y precarizada, pero también a los procesos de su constitución política y subjetiva.

Published: July 2023

A dohányzó nők életük során a legnagyobb valószínűséggel a várandósság során
szoknak le a dohánytermékek használatáról. Ez az időszak az egészségügy számára
kiváló esély, amely során kettős – anyai és magzati – egészségnyereség érhető el
a leszokási kísérlet szakszerű támogatásával. A dohányzás felfüggesztése kiemelt
jelentőségű a várandósság alatt a magzat és az anya érdekében egyaránt.
Összefoglaló kéziratunk irodalmi áttekintés, melynek célja, hogy aktuális és
praktikus kiegészítő információkkal szolgáljon a várandós dohányzók leszokását
támogató szakemberek számára. A jelen áttekintés a PubMed adatbázisban elérhető
publikációkon, valamint hazai és nemzetközi irányelveken és összefoglalókon
alapul, melyek gyakorlati jelentőségük alapján kerültek beválogatásra. A
várandósság alatti dohányzás szülészeti, neonatológiai és pediátriai
szövődményeit tanácsos pozitívan átkeretezni, inkább a leszokás előnyeiről
beszélni. A minimálintervenciót ajánlott kiegészíteni a gesztációs hétnek
megfelelő tanácsadással, szakellátásra irányítással, illetve a várandós nő
dohányzó partnerét célzó leszokástámogatással. Várandósok számára elsődlegesen a
gyógyszermentes leszokás javasolható, ha azonban ez nem lehetséges vagy
eredménytelen, indokolt lehet a nikotinpótló készítmények használata. Az
általános nikotinpótló kezeléstől alapvetően három pontban tér el a várandósok
nikotinpótló terápiája. Érdemes inkább az orális készítményeket használni a
transdermalis nikotinbevitel helyett; óvatosabb titrálási időszak ajánlott; és a
kezelés időtartamát tanácsos lerövidíteni. A várandós dohányzók
leszokástámogatása során a magatartás-orvoslási módszerek intenzív alkalmazása
javasolt. Nagy hangsúly helyeződik a stresszkezelésre, az érzelemszabályozásra,
a viselkedésbeli és biológiai visszajelzésekre, az önjutalmazásra és a külső
ösztönzők használatára. Ezek a módszerek a kognitív viselkedésterápiás modellen

Authors: Carvalho Fernando K. , Antuniassi Ulisses R. , Chechetto Rodolfo G. , Mota Alisson A.B. , Cornago Junior Vicente M.
Published: July 2023

The objective of this study was to evaluate operational parameters and swath width characteristics of drone's spray applications in Brazil, considering aspects such as height and uniformity of deposition. There were evaluated 32 configurations of applications of 7 agricultural spraying
drones. The technical basis for data collection was the use of a semiautomated electronic system, which analyzes the deposition of droplets on a polyester string and informs the ideal swath width for each configuration of drone applications, considering the deposition's coefficient of variation
(CV). The system, denominated IFD ® (Swath Width Inspection), is based on ASAE S386.2 2018 standard. Likewise, it was collected information about flight high and drone configurations. IFD ® was a practical method to evaluate swath width and uniformity of drone applications. The results
allowed an average increase on swath width of 27% compared to the swath previously used by the remote pilots. The swatch width obtained by using coarse (C) and very coarse (VC) droplet spectrum categories was 4.3 m, for median (M) 5.1 m, and fine (F) and very fine (VF) 5.2 m. The higher coefficient
of variation (CV) was obtained for coarse and very coarse spray qualities, 16,7%, followed by median 16%, and fine and very fines, 14.4%.

This article explores the role of bioinputs in Brazilian agriindustry, a sector that is increasingly adopting biological inputs to improve crop protection and productivity. The major class of bioinputs, biopesticides, are derived from natural sources such as fungi, bacteria, nematodes,
insects and viruses, and offer several advantages over conventional pesticides, such as lower environmental and health impacts, higher specificity and compatibility with integrated pest management. The article presents economic data, registration statistics and application examples of different
types of biopesticides in Brazil. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities for biopesticide development and adoption in Brazil, taking into account the legislative framework, the research and development programs, the quality standards and integration with conventional inputs. The
article concludes by emphasizing the importance of bioinputs for tropical agriculture and suggesting some areas for future research.
Old Believers as a (f)actor in the transformation of contemporary Russian historical policy and memorial culture
Authors: Kyrchanoff M. W.
Published: August 2023

The features of development and the main vectors of the transformation of historical memory of the Old Believer segment of modern Russian society are analyzed. It is shown that the Old Believer intellectuals are active in the formation of their own versions of the collective historical memory. The author analyzes the perception of community experience by Old Believer intellectuals in collective memory, constructed the concepts of "self" and "sacrifice". The grand narrative used in writing the history of the Old Believers is analyzed also. It is considered how the culture of memory of the Russian Old Believers actualizes the political and ideological contradictions of society, actualizing collective historical traumas and images of the Other in the memorial spaces. It is shown that the model of the collective memory of the Old Believers stimulates the development of the politics of memory in a religiously-centric coordinate system, where the Church itself and its figures are imagined as the main participants in the historical process, becoming objects of memorial reflection and symbolic canonization in the identity of the Old Believers.
THERMAL-POWER-PLANT CONDENSER-TUBE CORROSION ANALYSIS
Authors: Batelić Jakov , Špada Vedrana , Kršulja Marko , Martinez Sanja
Published: August 2023

The thermal-power-plant condenser tubes, conducting cooling seawater, experienced frequent leakages, prompting the hereby presented failure analysis. Visual inspection of the corroded/ruptured tube segments revealed that localized corrosion may be linked to seawater sediments and thick layers of corrosion products at the tube water side. Sediments were found along the tube bottom and thick corrosion products were found adjacent to the point of contact between the baffle plates and the exterior tube walls. Underdeposit corrosion, accelerated due to sulphate-reducing bacteria, was diagnosed based on the excess sulphur found at the pit bottom using EDX, the FT-IR spectrum indicating the presence of biofilm and SEM determining the featuring corrosion products based on the biofilm. It was proposed that the corrosion initiating deposits were linked to the condenser shutdown and startup periods. Results showed that pitting corrosion occurred under the influence of biofilm microorganisms tolerant to copper. The main goal of this research was achieved by defining a systematic procedure for avoiding a shutdown of the thermal power plant.
MICROSTRUCTURE AND HIGH-TEMPERATURE WEAR BEHAVIOR OF FE-BASED AMORPHOUS COATINGS BY LASER CLADDING
Authors: Xie Lu , Wang Yueming , Yang Jianlin , Li Chenlong , Han Xuhang , Huang Jie
Published: August 2023

FeCrMoCB amorphous coatings were prepared on 316 stainless steel via an amorphous powder. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to analyze the microstructure, composition, and phase structure of the coatings. Hardness and friction wear testers were applied to investigate the microhardness and wear behavior of the coatings. Results show that the Cr23C6, Cr15Fe7C6 and Fe3Mo crystal phases appeared after laser cladding relative to the complete amorphous powder, and the amorphous phase fraction of the coating was calculated up to 68.4 % using the Verdon method. The coating exhibited a dominating adhesive wear mechanism under room temperature (RT) and transformed to a fatigue wear mechanism as wear test temperature increased to 600 °C. As the temperature was elevated from RT to 600 °C, the wear rate increased from 26 × 10–6 mm3/N·m to 79 × 10–6 mm3/N·m. The laser-cladded Fe-based amorphous coating exhibited much stronger wear performance than the 316 stainless steel, even the wear rate reached one third of that of steel.
The Treachery of Images and the Order of Discourse. Political Connotations of Aesthetic Experience
Authors: Koval Oxana
Published: July 2023

Michel Foucault's outstanding essay This is not a Pipe scrutinizing no less remarkable painting The Treachery of Images by René Magritte, first of all, draws attention of scholars as an original commentary to a landmark piece of art. The article offers a slightly different perspective of consideration the philosopher's work, that can be conditionally called “proto-political”. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to demonstrate political senses of Foucault's aesthetic studies. The first part of the article attempts to reconstruct Magritte's ideas on the nature and purpose of painting, on the correlation between a thing, image and utterance, on resemblance and similitude, which the painter found akin to Foucault's considerations set forth in the book The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences. Focused on the analysis of Foucault's text on Magritte, the second part of the article reveals significant discrepancies between the intention of the artist and the explication of the philosopher, who, although based on the artist's ideas, interprets them in a very peculiar way. According to Foucault, the revolutionary nature of Magritte's painting consists in the confrontation between the spoken order and the visible order that already represents political consequences. The final part of the article formulates three basic principles of “emancipated” aesthetic judgment, which can be extracted from Foucault's innovative approach to the interpretation of Magritte's work. Thus, the appeal to the theory of Jacques Rancière allows us to demonstrate not only the political significance of these principles, but also their effectiveness and relevance in modern realities.
Phonological Theory of Zaum' Language by A. Tufanov and R. Jacobson. Humboldtian Origins of the Russian Formalism
Authors: Miroshnichenko Evgeny
Published: July 2023

The article discusses the phonological interpretation of the poetic language in the works of A. Tufanov and R. Jacobson. From the author's point of view, the original analytics of zaum' language was based on the acoustic theory proposed by Jan Baudouin de Courtenay. The first zaumniki who were guided by this theory in their early theoretical research were I. Zdanevich and I. Terent'ev. It also influenced A. Tufanov, who because of his orientation towards the concept of the universal language of Velimir Khlebnikov, formulated the idea of so-called “immediate lyricism”, which was much closer to the poetic language than all previous interpretations made by formalists. A. Tufanov proposed to consider phonemes as autonomous elements of the work of art, which are designed to directly evoke certain emotions. Finally, the bridge from the early zaum' poets to formalist school was thrown by R. Jacobson with the help of his theory of the phonological foundations of the zaum' language. Jacobson distinguished between phonetica (based on Baudouin's acusmas and kinemas) and phonology, which considered the sound as an artistic device. From this point of view, zaum' turned out to be maximally divorced from semantic sound structure, but at the same time, Jacobson recognized that there is a dialectical interdependence between semantics, syntax, and phonology. The phonological theory was an important milestone in the way of understanding zaum', as well as one of the sources for the formation of the theoretical foundations of the formalist school.
“They are Faithful, Precise, Relentless”. Clock Metaphor in Modern European Thought
Authors: Dmitriev Igor
Published: July 2023

The clock metaphor, which began to spread in European literature in the fourteenth century, at first became an expression of certain Christian virtues, most notably temperantia. By the turn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the function of this metaphor had expanded considerably, and the mechanical clock also became a symbol of the orderliness and harmony of the Universe, the wisdom of the Creator, and the image of an ideal monarchical state. In early modern times, the metaphor of the clock was associated with mechanical philosophy, most prominently in the writings of R. Boyle and R. Descartes. A distinctive feature of the new natural philosophy was its approach to understanding natural phenomena as if they were the result of the action of machines, and the mechanical clock was most often chosen as the machine-analog of the world. The structure and functioning of the clock mechanism served as an analogue of the structure and functioning not only of the Universe, but also of an ideal state in which everything emanated from a single center. The political connotations of chorological metaphors clearly correlated with the idea of a strong central authority with its desire for all-encompassing control and a unidirectional (top-down, no feedback) system of communication with non-central elements. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the metaphor of the clock gradually lost its popularity, especially in England. By the end of the Age of Enlightenment, the relationship between the laws of nature, rather than the coherence of the wheels of a clockwork mechanism, was seen as the best evidence in favor of a Higher Intelligence behind the “system of the world”. Clocks, on the other hand, have come to symbolize regimentation and oppression, an unfree, dull, repetitive mode of operation, rigid determinism, and the denial of free will (including the will of God). The mechanical clock, itself a worthy and useful device, symbolized all that was rejected by English intellectuals of the second half of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, primarily in the subjects of theology and politics.
The Contingency of Genetic Information: pro et contra
Authors: Voloshin Mikhail
Published: July 2023

Within the framework of historical epistemology (G. Canguilhem, M. Foucault, L. Loison) the key concepts of a scientific discipline are considered as historically and culturally contingtent, that is, predetermined by outside factors rather than by the internal logic of the development of science. A fundamental attempt to demonstrate the contingency of the concept of “genetic information” was made in 2000 by Lily Kay, who argues that there was an “epistemic rupture” between this concept and the previous biological discourse of “specificity”. As I.A. Kuzin has recently demonstrated, this work is essential not only for the history of biology, but also for the methodology of history of science and for modern biology as well. This paper contains a critical approach to both works. The sociocultural (externalist) conceptualizations of the history of biology contain serious difficulties and contradictions that internalism can successfully cope with. Being an explanans, “discourse” is not able to explain the key features of the history of deciphering the genetic code. “Discourse”, “concept” and “metaphor” of information are confused; two separated phases of the deciphering the code are separated groundlessly as “formal” and “material” stages; the transition from syntactic aspect of information to semantic one (from the “cipher” metaphor to the “code” metaphor) is at least problematic. The internalist approach preserves the idea of the contingency of the concept of information (in the form of methodological contingency instead of historical and cultural one), and at the same time incorporates it into the internal development of genetics and molecular biology.

Fresh and creative slang words are in the second position. The fresh and creative slang words found in this study are not new. Those words are coined from the existing words by flipping the letters or reading the letters of the words from back to front. Some slang words found in this study combined clipping and mixing. Even though the mixing is not in Allan and Burridge’s types of slang words, the researchers added it since some are made of two different languages. The origin languages of slang words used by the Balinese generation Z are Indonesian, Indonesian + English, Balinese, and Thai.

AS DIFERENTES VISÕES SOBRE INTERESSE PÚBLICO NAS PRIMEIRAS CORRENTES DO AMBIENTALISMO: O PRESERVACIONISMO E O CONSERVACIONISMO.
Authors: Franco Caroline , Polli Simone
Published: July 2023

RESUMO: O princípio do “interesse público” é considerado juridicamente indeterminado. Ele possui relevância para definir como os bens devem ser devem ser tutelados pelo Estado, notadamente na delimitação de espaços territoriais e recursos destinados à proteção ambiental. Assim, o objetivo do presente artigo é sintetizar as distintas percepções sobre “interesse público” defendidas por duas correntes do ambientalismo radical (preservacionismo e conservacionismo), mostrando-se os efeitos disso no desenho de políticas ambientais. A pesquisa é aplicada e qualitativa, com análise exploratória por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, e investigação documental. Identificou-se que os primeiros espaços protegidos no mundo tinham o objetivo de ressaltar a beleza da vida selvagem, em um contraponto à poluição e os aspectos negativos da urbanização. Os preservacionistas consideravam ser de interesse público o isolamento de determinadas áreas para a proteção integral da natureza. Já os conservacionistas se diferenciam, pois apresentam uma concepção integrada entre homem e meio-ambiente. Conclui-se que atualmente a lógica preservacionista entende que a biodiversidade é fortalecida quando a natureza é apartada do homem, que não poderia nesse espaço morar, ou obter sua subsistência. Já os conservacionistas guardam concepção semelhante de “interesse público” com as pautas defendidas atualmente por socioambientalistas. Tais diferenças são relevantes nos debates de política ambiental, explicando as divergências entre os ambientalistas, como, por exemplo, a demora na tramitação da Lei que institui o Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação (SNUC- Lei 9985/2000).

İndirim Kampanyalarının Tüketicilerin Fiyat Algısı Üzerindeki Etkisi: Black Friday Örneği
Authors: ŞİRZAD Nefise
Published: July 2023

Fiyat indirimleri pazarlama iletişiminde en sık kullanılan stratejiler arasında yer almaktadır. İletişim ve pazarlama uzmanlarının ana hedeflerinden biri olan müşteri memnuniyetinin sağlanmasında fiyat indirimleri önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Markalar piyasa değerini arttırmak ve stoklarını bitirmek için farklı günlerde farklı indirim kampanyalarından yararlanmaktadır. Markalara ve müşteri kitlelerine yarar sağlayan indirim kampanyalarından birisi her yılın Kasım ayında uygulanan “Black Friday” indirimleridir. Bu indirimlerin çoğu tüketici tarafından heyecanla beklenirken, bazı durumlarda arzulanan memnuniyeti sağlamakta yeterli olmamaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada, tüketicilerin Black Friday’e yönelik algılarını ortaya koymak amacıyla “Efsane Cuma” etiketi ile 21.11.2022 ve 27.11.2022 tarihleri arasında paylaşılan 4400 tweet ’in içerik analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. MAXQDA 2020 programı ile yapılan bu analizde tweetlerin sadece %7’sinin Black Friday ile ilgili görüş belirttiği, %93’ünün bu etiketle alakasız olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Black Friday günü ile ilgili görüş içeren tweetlerin analizi sonucunda ise; Twitter kullanıcılarının %61’nin Black Friday günlerine güvenmediği, %18’inin Black Friday’i tüketim çılgınlığı biçiminde tanımladığı görülmüştür. Black Friday hakkında düşüncelerini paylaşanların sadece %2’si Black Friday ile ilgili memnuniyetlerini beyan etmiştir. Black Friday günlerini değerlendiren tweetlerin R programlama dili ile geçekleştirilen metin madenciliği sonucunda ise, “indirim”, “gerçek”, “mi?”, “dolandırıcılık”, “bindirim”, “mübarek” kavramlarının en çok kullanılan kavramlar arasında yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir.
Salonlardan Çevrimiçi Ortamlara: Dijital Sinema Platformlarının Film İzleme Alışkanlıklarına Olan Etkisi Üzerine Bir Araştırma
Authors: HAYIR Celal
Published: July 2023

Henüz dijital teknolojilerin pek gelişmediği yıllarda farklı toplumsal gruplardan insanların sinema salonlarında bir arada film izlemeleri 20. yüzyılın önemli aktivitelerindendi. Sinema salonları, geçmiş yüzyılda kitlelerin en büyük eğlence ve sosyal aktivite ortamı işlevi görüyordu. Dijitalleşmenin bütün dünyada hız kazanması, uydu teknolojisindeki ilerlemeler, özel televizyon yayınları, kablolu televizyon ve radyo yayınları, bilgisayar kullanımının yaygınlaşması, dijital medya teknolojilerin ve internetin giderek yaygınlık kazanması toplumu ciddi değişim-dönüşüm sürecine sokmuştur. Bununla birlikte, internet ortamında dijital film platformlarının ortaya çıkmasıyla sinema seyircisi salonlardan uzaklaşıp ev ortamlarında film izlemeye başlamıştır. Salonlardan çevrimiçi ortamlara, dijital sinema platformlarının film izleme alışkanlıklarına olan etkisini konu alan bu çalışma 1960-2000 yılları arasında doğmuş bireylerle sınırlandırılmıştır. Bu bireyler dijital göçmenler ve dijital yerliler olmak üzere iki kategoride incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, sinema izleme pratiklerinin ne şekilde değiştiğini ve bu durumun demografik profile göre değişkenlik gösterip göstermediğinin belirlenmesidir. Çalışmanın anket verilerinden elde edilen bulgulara göre; katılımcıların dijital platformlarda film izleme pratiklerinin cinsiyete ve yaşa göre farklılık gösterdiği, çoğunluğun dijital ortamda film izlediği, yarısından fazlasının son 6 ayda sinema salonunda hiç film izlemediği ve yarıya yakınının ise dijital platformlarda haftada en az bir film izlediği belirlenmiştir.
