Authors: BEKDEMİR Tuğçe , TOPRAK Baran
Published: December 2023

Koni Penetrasyon Deneyi (CPT), geçmişten günümüze kullanılan ve uygulayıcısına çeşitli zemin parametrelerinin elde edilmesi imkânını sunan bir arazi deneyidir. Uygulama maliyetinin düşük olması ve deney boyunca sürekli olarak veri elde edilmesini sağlanması, bu parametrelere bağlı olarak zeminin taşıma gücü, oturma hesabı gibi hesapların yapılmasına olanak sağlayan bir deneydir. Ülkemizde arazi deneyleri arasında en sık kullanılan deney Standart Penetrasyon Deneyi (SPT)’ dir. SPT testinin uygulama aşamasında hatalara açık olması ve elde edilen verilerin yorumlanması aşamasında karşılaşılan birtakım zorluklar, birçok düzeltme faktörüne bağlı olarak deneyin gerçekleştirilmesini sağlar. Sürekli elde edilen veri akışı, CPT deneyini SPT deneyine kıyasla daha güvenilir bir hale getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada CPT deneyi sonrasında elde edilen uç direnci (qu), sürtünme direnci (qs) ve boşluk suyu basıncı (u) değerleri kullanılmıştır. Birbirinden farklı zeminlerde dizayn edilecek olan yüzeysel temeller için, değişken ve düşük değerlere sahip CPT verilerine bağlı olarak farklı hesap modüllerine göre, Geo5 Geoteknik Hesap Programı Yüzeysel Temel Tasarımı modülüyle tasarımları yapılmıştır. Tüm hesap modüllerinin birbirleri ile kıyaslanması incelenmiştir.

Published: December 2023

Stunting is a condition due to chronic malnutrition that causes children to be shorter in height compared to their age. The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia still exceeds the standards set by WHO. This study aims to classify provinces in Indonesia based on the characteristics of the causes of stunting. Cluster analysis is a statistical method used to group objects with similar characteristics. Province grouping is done using hierarchical cluster analysis consisting of Single Linkage, Complete Linkage, Average Linkage, Ward's method, and Centroid method. The Cophenetic correlation coefficient was used to determine the best cluster method and the optimal number of clusters using the Silhouette coefficient. The results show that the centroid method has the highest Cophenetic correlation coefficient with four clusters. The first cluster consists of 1 province with low stunting characteristics, the second cluster consists of 3 provinces with high stunting characteristics, the third cluster consists of 22 provinces with very high stunting characteristics, and the fourth cluster consists of 8 provinces with moderate stunting characteristics.

Background: The problem of mangrove forest degradation in coastal areas is caused by various factors, including industrial activities, household activities, cultivation activities and land clearing for settlements. Previous research has stated that there needs to be concern from various parties so that mangrove forests in coastal areas are maintained. Until now, mangrove forest destruction, both natural and deliberate, is still quite high, making it a problem in most coastal areas. Situation Analysis: school students as the younger generation play an important role in disseminating knowledge about the importance of maintaining and preserving mangrove forests in coastal areas. Through this activity, it is hoped that a high level of love and concern for the environment can be created for school students in coastal areas. Approach Method: The approach stages carried out in this program consist of educating school students regarding the importance of maintaining mangrove forests in coastal areas. Results and Conclusions: When providing education to school students, they are first given an understanding of the importance of mangrove forests for the environment. After being given education and then practicing planting mangrove seeds directly, school students became enthusiastic about taking part in maintaining the mangrove ecosystem. Based on this, it can be concluded that education for the younger generation regarding the important function of mangrove forests needs to continue to be encouraged so that the younger generation is also involved in preserving coastal areas.

Published: December 2023

The study aims to determine students' conceptual understanding of work and energy in various representations. The research method used in this study is a mixed method with a sequential explanatory design. The data in this study were quantitative data and qualitative data. Quantitative data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. The research subjects consisted of 45 physics students at Universitas Negeri Malang who had taken the fundamental of physics course I. In this study, 10 multiple choice questions were used on the work and energy topic presented in various representations. The results showed that the understanding of concepts in the work and energy topic in various representations was still relatively low, which was indicated by the average score of students only reaching 42.22. The lowest concept of understanding occurs in the sub-material of work and kinetic energy, which is presented in a mathematical representation. Some of the errors experienced by students in the concept of work include: (1) students assume that gravity is the same as the tensile force on the block, (2) work is an ordinary product of force and displacement, and (3) do not pay attention to the meaning of the multiplication symbol between vector quantities. While in the concept of kinetic energy, the errors experienced include: (1) students use equations in the form of conclusions without starting from the variables raised in the problem and (2) assume that kinetic energy is only influenced by mass, so that they do not consider the speed of the two objects.

Authors: Zimmerman Esther
Published: December 2023

Children are born as spiritual beings, created for relationship with God.  However, their spiritual development is shaped by many factors — including their experience of trauma.  Sadly, since ancient times, many children have experienced significant trauma and the Bible deals with this topic openly and honestly. This article presents an overview of how trauma may impact children’s overall development and especially their spiritual development. While many of these impacts may be negative, the Bible also offers significant hope for children growing up in the midst of trauma. This article will also suggest practical ways that Christian parents and ministry leaders can seek to join children on the spiritual journey during times of trauma.

Drawing from theoretical frameworks related to trauma and forced migration, as well as leadership models, this research seeks to comprehend the intricacies of leadership exhibited by Ukrainian displaced individuals. Based on qualitative data from 130 participants, the study identifies key themes concerning leadership during wartime. It contributes to the development of a trauma-sensitive theology of leadership and offers insights into the leadership development requirements of Ukrainians post-war. The insights gathered from these refugees reveal that wartime leadership is dynamic and multifaceted. It encompasses values, adaptability, compassion, and Christian spirituality, extending beyond traditional models to prioritize the well-being of individuals and communities. The experiences and perspectives of these refugees offer valuable lessons for understanding leadership in the most challenging of circumstances, emphasizing the enduring importance of empathy, resilience, and faith in guiding individuals and communities through times of war.
The role of teachers (de-)motivational styles on students’ autonomous motivation in physical education and leisure time
Authors: Tilga Henri , Vahtra Kaija , Koka Andre
Published: December 2023

Introduction: The aim of this research was to examine the relationships of four perceived teaching styles (i.e., autonomy support, structure, control, and chaos) of physical education (PE) teachers with students’ satisfaction of psychological needs as well as autonomous and controlled motivation towards physical activity in PE and leisure time context. Materials and Methods: 320 students (166 boys and 154 girls) aged from 12 to 18 years old (M = 14.13, SD = 1.6) participated in the study. In this cross-sectional study, participants filled in a questionnaire of study variables. A variance-based structural equation model was employed to test the study hypotheses. Results: Autonomy support is indirectly related to students’ autonomous motivation towards physical activity in leisure time via satisfaction of a psychological need and autonomous motivation for PE (β = 0.18, p < 0.01). Structuring the teaching style is indirectly related to students’ autonomous motivation towards physical activity in leisure time via satisfaction of a psychological need and autonomous motivation for PE (β = 0.21, p < 0.01). Conclusions: When a PE teacher employs an autonomy-supportive and structuring teaching style, it is likely to satisfy students’ psychological needs and increase autonomous motivation towards physical activity in PE, which, in turn, may enhance autonomous motivation towards physical activity during leisure time.

Published: December 2023

Friction stir welding (FSW) process parameters influence welding temperature field and axial force, which affect welding strength. At present, how the FSW process parameters of aluminum alloy 2219-T8 thick plates influence process physical quantity and how the process physical quantity changes the tensile strength about the welded joint are unknown. We focus on the intelligent prediction of FSW temperature, axial force, and mechanical properties, to provide a basis for FSW process control of aluminum alloy 2219-T8 thick plate. Firstly, we conducted the FSW experiment of aluminum alloy 2219-T8 thick plate. Then, we input the welding process parameters, set up a prediction model by particle swarm optimization-back propagation (PSO-BP) neural network to predict the peak temperature and axial force. Finally, we input the peak temperature and axial force, use genetic algorithm-back propagation (GA-BP) neural network to establish a weld tensile strength estimation model, and comply with the prediction of tensile strength.
Non-communicable diseases and HIV/AIDS burden by socio-demographic characteristics in Malawi
Authors: Kasambara Ansley , Kamndaya M.S. , Masangwi S.J. , Mulaga Atupele
Published: December 2023

Background

The co-existence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and HIV/AIDS is a health concern that needs to be promptly addressed in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, with limited data, responding to this problem may be difficult. This paper aims to describe the burden of NCDs and HIV/AIDS within patients’ socio-demographic and health facility characteristics across the cities and districts in Malawi.

Methods

We analysed health facility-based data extracted from NCD patient mastercards from 2019 to 2022 from 70 health facilities in 11 cities and districts in Malawi. Data analysis was done in R using mean, proportions, frequency distributions and charts. Hybrid k-means clustering was used to determine health facilities with similar cases.

Results

A total of 29,196 patients had at least one non-communicable disease, with 7.9% having NCDs comorbid with HIV/AIDS. The southern part of Malawi (54.2%), inland locations (69.9%) and health centres (55.3%) recorded large numbers of cases in their respective categories. The health facilities’ case clustering indicated that Neno and Salima district hospitals had similar cases. About 16.1% of the young adults (19 - 39 years) had either a non-communicable disease or NCD-HIV/AIDS comorbidity. The most prominent NCD was hypertension (63.2%), followed by asthma (9.2%). The most commonly employed intervention was medication for NCD (51.6%) and NCD-HIV/AIDS comorbidity (43.4%). Only 13% of all the health facilities in the selected cities/districts used NCD mastercards from which data for this study was extracted.

Conclusions

NCDs and NCD-HIV/AIDS comorbidity among young adults pose a major concern since the ailment would lead to days off during the peak of their productivity. The NCD and NCD-HIV/AIDS comorbidity is a major public health problem that needs more attention than realised since the cases reported in this study could be under-reported.

Family History and Family Memory in Russia of the 2020s
Authors: Barash R. E.
Published: December 2023

The author explores how chronicle and memoirs, history and memory reconstruct the past, while simultaneously influencing each other, using the methodological division of commemorative resources. The empirical basis of the study is the data of surveys conducted by the scientific group of the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the fall of 2020 and spring of 2022. The sociological data help the author to clarify how today, in the postmemory era, the private and family memory of our compatriots responds to the state historical discourse and to what extent family history acts as a means of reconstructing the national past. With the growing interest of Russians in their own identity and their inclusion in digital communication, the popularity of genealogical projects is increasing, with the help of which not only family memory, but also national history, is reconstructed, and the perception of the past is changing. Information about family history is the most important source of information about national history. Emotionally and meaningfully rich stories from eyewitnesses increase the historical interest of their children and grandchildren. History as a resource of identity turns post-memory carriers — close relatives, civil society, and bureaucracy — into creators of memory, and therefore history makers. One of the most striking examples of genealogical mnemonic, which became possible due to the post-memorial commemoration, as well as the digitalization of archival information about the war period, is the Immortal Regiment project, which symbolically connects national history and family memory. With the help of digitized archival data and virtual genealogy projects, many Russians are successfully reconstructing family history, especially when unknown circumstances of family history are felt as a “premonition” of family memory. The “incompleteness” of stories of a significant part of Russian families, primarily about the 1930—1950 time period, gives rise to a demand for historical authenticity, but the perception of the past through the circumstances of the lives of relatives makes such perception less “white-or-black”, calling for a balanced and “understanding” assessment of history, whatever it may be.
Who Would Grasp Balkans with the Mind? Belov M.V., ed. Historical Politics in the Countries of the Former Yugoslavia. St Petersburg: Nestor-Istorija, 2022
Authors: Efremenko D. V.
Published: December 2023

The publication of the collective monograph “Historical Politics in the Countries of the Former Yugoslavia” is undoubtedly an important event both for political studies of historical memory and for Slavic and Balkan studies in Russia. Based on this monograph, D.Efremenko, using the example of the Western Balkan countries, reflects on the importance of the actor approach in memory studies, as well as on the role of historians in the formation of the collective memory of national communities. From his viewpoint, it makes sense to consider the phenomenon of post-Yugoslav “historical revisionism” discussed in the monograph not only as a substantive revision of the historiographic canon of Tito’s era, but also as a politically conditioned paradigm shift — the replacement of this canon with nation-centric historiographies. According to Efremenko, the texts presented in the monograph clearly indicate that historical narratives still play a crucial role in political discussions, being an integral component of the ontological security of macropolitical communities. In particular, the Kosovo (Vidovdan) myth continues to exert a strong influence on the Serbian political leadership’s decision-making related to the resolution of the conflict in Kosovo and the country’s integration into the European Union. This example demonstrates that problems in the field of ontological security can possess serious consequences for confirming or changing the international status of a country, as well as maintaining reliability and sustainability of alliances and partnerships with other states.
Latin America: Swings of Political Pendulum Iwanowski Z.W., ed. Latin America: Political Landscape in the Midst of Turbulence. Moscow: ILA RAS, 2022
Authors: Khenkin S. M.
Published: December 2023

The left and right, democratic, hybrid, and authoritarian systems, consolidated and unconsolidated democracies, rising giant-states and underdeveloped economies coexist in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean, which covers more than three dozen states that share common historical destiny, language, and religion. This makes the region a fertile ground for studying various types of regimes, political processes and alternative development paths in the modern world, as vividly demonstrated by the collective monograph “Latin America: Political Landscape in the Midst of Turbulence”, published at the end of 2022. Based on a thorough analysis of the situation in the region, the authors of the monograph show that political life in Latin America is characterized by instability and constant reshaping of the political landscape. The strengthening of the positions of right-wing forces replaced the left turn of the 2000s, and since the beginning of the 2020s, the continent has again drifted to the left. The authors pay special attention to the following factors of turbulence in the development of the region: a natural-resource-based economy in most Latin American countries, poor quality of governance, a decline in trust in political institutions caused by regular corruption scandals, the criminalization of society, the increase in drug trafficking and violence, and the inability of law enforcement agencies to ensure citizens’ safety. Several chapters of the monograph are devoted to the varieties of regimes of the “21st century socialism” that exist in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia, as well as to the oldest socialist regime on the continent in Cuba. According to the reviewer’s conclusion, with the publication of this monograph the readers received valuable work that allows them to better comprehend the essence of the complex political processes that take place in Latin America today.

Alueiden käytön oikeudenmukaisuus on yksi reilun kestävyysmurroksen keskeisimpiä kysymyksiä. Kaivoksista saatavat mineraalit ja tuulivoima ovat tarpeellisia muutettaessa energiajärjestelmää hiilineutraaliksi, mutta paikallisella tasolla sekä kaivokset että tuulivoimalat aiheuttavat kiistoja. Nämä kiistat kumpuavat esimerkiksi historiallista polkuriippuvuuksista, valtasuhteista sekä tuulivoiman ja kaivosteollisuuden tuottamiin hyötyihin ja haittoihin kohdistuvista odotuksista. Yhteiskunta sääntelee alueiden käyttöä ja elinkeinojen sijoittumista kaavoitus- ja lupaprosesseilla, joissa tulisi tarkastella eri toimijoille aiheutuvia hyötyjä ja haittoja sekä sovittaa niitä yhteen. Tässä artikkelissa perehdymme alueiden käyttöön liittyviin kiistoihin Lapin ja Koillismaan raja-alueille sijoittuvissa Kuusamossa ja Posiolla. Nostamme esiin eri toimijoiden alueiden käyttöön liittyviä lakiin perustuvia oikeuksia sekä näkemyksiä oikeudenmukaisuudesta ja pohdimme, miten olemassa olevia kiistoja voitaisiin ratkaista nykyistä oikeudenmukaisemmalla tavalla ja miten tulevia kiistoja voitaisiin ehkäistä. Tutkimusaineistoina käytämme Kuusamon tuulivoima- ja kaivossuunnitelmiin liittyviä oikeustapauksia, alue- ja paikallislehtien artikkeleita sekä alueen toimijoiden haastatteluja. Tutkimuksen tuloksissa korostuu tarve moniulotteiselle yhteiskunnalliselle kehittämiselle, jossa tunnistetaan ja tuodaan yhteen kestävyyden erilaisia ajallisia, paikallisia ja toiminnallisia mittakaavoja. Tähän tarvitaan oikeudenmukaisuuden eri ulottuvuuksia nykyistä paremmin tukevaa lainsäädäntöä, rakentavalla tavalla moniäänistä julkista keskustelua ja eri toimijoiden toiveiden ja arvojen yhteensovitusta poliittisessa päätöksenteossa.
Macroscopic Investigation of Muscles Affecting The Ankle (Articulatio Tarsi) And Digit Joints (Articulationes Digiti Pedis) in Quail (Coturnix Coturnix) and Pigeon (Columba Livia)

The locomotor system consists of two separate parts, the passive motion system and the active locomotor system. While the passive locomotor
system consists of bones and joints, the active locomotor system consists of muscles. The strongest connection between bones, joints and
muscles is seen in the feet. Feet help different functions in poultry. One of these functions is the activity of the perch. Perching is an instinctive
behavior, especially in chickens. There are different views on the perch. Among these views, the mechanisms reported as TKM and ODFM
support each other. In our study, the muscles acting on the ankle and digit joints of quails and perching pigeons that do not have the ability
to perch were examined macroscopically. For this purpose, hind legs of 20 adult quails and 20 adult pigeons were used. Live weights were
determined with a precision scale. They were euthanized by cervical dislocation. After the right and left legs of the euthanized animals were
separated from the body, their left legs were fixed in 10% formaldehyde solution for dissection. Dissection was carried out simultaneously
for both species. As a result of the study, it was determined that MFDL and MFHL muscle tendons, cartilage protrusions at the level of the
metatarsophalangeal joint and pits in the tendon sheaths were more prominent in pigeons than in quails. If these protrusions and pits perform
the perching activity by locking together like a zipper, it can be interpreted that pigeons are more suitable for perching activity than quails
anatomically.
