A computational material study of HoB6 and Co/MgO–HoB6: heavy rare-earth metal hexaborides
Authors: Aslan Mikail
Published: January 2022

The superior physical and chemical properties of holmium hexaborides enable their use in high-tech industrial applications. It is vital to examine these structure types on the atomic scale to elucidate the details of their structure and improve their functional properties. For this reason, holmium hexaboride, cobalt–holmium hexaboride and magnesium oxide–holmium hexaboride crystal structures were investigated systematically employing ab initio material modeling, including the dispersion corrected density functional theory approach, using an interface to the PWscf code of Quantum Espresso and Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package software. The effects of cobalt (∼4 wt.%) and MgO (∼2.8 wt.%) doping on holmium hexaboride structures are discussed in terms of optical, magnetic, and electronic properties including the charge transform, scanning tunneling microscopy, density of states, and K-edge X-ray absorption spectra analyses. Scanning tunneling microscopy and K-edge X-ray absorption spectra analyses were conducted to enable correlation with future experiments. Results indicate that cobalt doping does not provide enough driving magnetic force to alter the magnetic properties of the HoB6. Furthermore, MgO addition leads to significant distortions in the structure of the HoB6. The properties of HoB6 were affected adversely, especially due to the distorsion of the octahedral boron unit.
Vowel deletion before sibilant-stop clusters in Latin: issues of syllabification, lexicon and diachrony
Authors: Machajdíková Barbora , Buzássyová Ľudmila Eliášová
Published: January 2022

Syncope of a short vowel before a clustersT(R)(T: stop;R:lorr) is attested in Latin and Sabellic: Latinfēstra(besidefenestra),sēstertius,iuxtā, Oscanvezkeí, minstreis, Umbrianetuřstamu,mersto. This phenomenon raises important questions both for the historical phonology of the Italic languages and for the typological study ofsT(R)-clusters. In Latin and Sabellic, syncope normally took place only in open syllables. Three competing strategies are possible in order to explain this paradox. (i) It has been argued that the clustersT(R)was an onset, which would imply that the vowel standing before the clustersT(R)was in an open syllableat the time of the syncope. (ii) It has been proposed that the sequencesTbehaves as a single consonant. (iii) It could be assumed that the syncope did not take place in a closed syllableexceptif the closing consonant wass(or its allophonez). Furthermore, a careful study of the relevant material shows that in some Latin words a vowel standing beforesT(R)may have been deleted by a phonological process distinct from the syncopestricto sensu(haplology,noundinum-rule).
Comparison of second harmonic generation from cross-polarized double-resonant metasurfaces on single crystals of Au
Authors: Habibullah Yusuf B. , Ishihara Teruya
Published: January 2022

Second harmonic generation (SHG) from metasurfaces consisting of square array of split ring, heptagon and triangle cross-polarized double resonant resonators, is investigated both experimentally and numerically. The structures are fabricated on single crystalline Au plates using Focused Ion Beam technique. Array of the triangular structure exhibits most efficient SHG. Experimental observation is explained reasonably well by theoretical evaluation of SHG using the overlapping integral of nonlinear polarization and the microscopic field distribution on the metal surface at the SHG frequency taking phase relation between the two fields into account.
United States Foreign Aid and Multilateralism Under the Trump Presidency
Authors: Regilme Salvador Santino
Published: January 2022

This article addresses two key questions concerning US foreign aid under the 45th US President, Donald Trump (2017–21): Did the Trump administration radically restructure the foreign aid apparatus of the US government amid the recent reemergence of China as a key state actor in international development and global governance? If so, how and under which conditions did the US, as the world’s largest foreign aid donor, deal with the new challenges posed by the expanding global reach of Chinese foreign aid and diplomacy? The core objective here is to look back at the Trump administration, particularly in its role in the US foreign aid apparatus vis-à-vis the reemergence of China as a global power and the decline of US influence abroad. This article maintains that the dominance of the US in the international development sector was under serious threat from two principal challenges: (1) the lack of coherent and credible strategy from the Trump administration amid the rapidly increasing influence of China as an aid donor country; and the (2) the declining legitimacy of the US a foreign aid donor due to the exclusionary and anti-globalization discourses of Trump vis-à-vis the perceived the decline of American power.
Mechanical and microscopic properties of fiber-reinforced coal gangue-based geopolymer concrete
Authors: Xu Zhong , Wu JiaNing , Zhao Min , Bai ZhiJie , Wang KunYun , Miao JieWei , Tan ZhuoYue
Published: January 2022

In order to explore the engineering application potential of coal gangue-based geopolymer concrete (CGGPC), this article formulated the fiber-reinforced coal gangue-based geopolymer concrete (FRCGGPC). The mechanical properties of the specimens were tested to analyze the effects of different types and dosing amounts of fibers on the mechanical properties of CGGPC. The microscopic morphology of the specimens was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze the strengthening mechanism of fibers on the mechanical properties of the CGGPC. The experimental results show that the splitting tensile strength of FRCGGPC can be improved obviously, but the improvement of compressive strength is not obvious. The control groups containing steel fiber (SF) and polyester fiber (PF) had peaks in their compressive strength. Under the same dosage, the effect of SF and PF on the splitting tensile strength of FRCGGPC is better than basalt fiber. The results of SEM analysis show that within a certain range of dosage, the fiber is closely combined with the matrix, which has a good force transmission effect and strengthens the matrix material. When the fiber dosage is too much, it is easy to agglomerate, which leads to the decrease in the mechanical properties of the specimens.
Monitoring-based assessment of environmental pollution in regions of the Russian Federation
Authors: Zhadanovskaya Ekaterina A. , Gromov Sergey A. , Manzon Dmitry A.
Published: January 2022

The article assesses the environmental pollution level in urban areas of the Russian Federation regions. Environmental monitoring data were used as data sources. For each Russian region the environmental pollution level was considered as the sum of pollution indices for the basic environmental media: air, surface water and soil. It allowed ranking regions and grouped them into categories (from extremely high polluted to extremely low ones). The air pollution monitoring network in cities and industrial centres does not cover all regions of the country, leading to undetermined air pollution level in 12 of 85 regions and thus to underestimated environmental pollution level there. The paper proposes to use the monitoring network data of the snow cover chemistry for the air pollution assessment in problematic regions and more accurate calculation of the environmental pollution level in them. Based on the air monitoring data for 2018 we revealed regions with high and extremely high levels of air pollution, their list was added after analyzing the snow cover chemistry data. As a result, the total assessment of environmental pollution was recalculated upward.

Authors: Wahan Simranpreet K. , Sharma Sangeeta , Chawla Pooja A.
Published: January 2022

Green chemistry has been most compelling area of research. Green chemistry is vital to long-term sustainability, not only because of its fundamental notion of reducing the use and manufacture of hazardous materials, but also because of its broad applicability as one of the most efficient and problem-solving pathways for the synthesis of new materials. Various chemists have studied a plethora of strategies to lessen the release of hazardous chemical waste, waste material recyclization and reuse. New techniques have been created based on a green chemistry strategy that includes the utilization of catalysts, nanosized materials and composites, such as metal and non-metal nanoparticles, their oxides and salts, and different heterocyclic rings. Quinazolines and quinazolinones are biologically significant heterocyclic rings with a wide range of characteristics. In a summary, this chapter focuses on recent novel synthesis methods for quinazoline and quinazolinone derivatives, which are vital to humanity.
Semiology: in the light of Saussure’ words
Authors: De Angelis Rossana
Published: January 2022

What does Saussure really mean by “semiology”? This is the question we try to answer in this text. In fact, reading his writings and notes, we realize that Saussure uses the term “semiology” in different contexts and with different meanings. So the notion of “semiology” issued from his works is more complex than it seems because it undergoes several transformations throughout the development of Saussurian thought. The term “semiology” never appears in the texts published during in his lifetime, but we find several mentions of this notion in the manuscript sources that make up the Saussurian corpus. While this term appears first during the period between 1881 and 1891, especially in all the documents known under the title of Phonétique (1881–1885), in the Gothic lessons (1885–1886), and in the manuscript “De l’essence double du langage” (1891), the notion of “semiology” is presented to the public in the Cours de linguistique générale with a very precise meaning that has been taken up in Adrien Naville’s Nouvelle Classification des sciences (1901). Then, after the publication of a large part of Saussure’s autograph writings, Ecrits de linguistique générale (2002), we can return to this notion not only to trace its genesis, but also to better understand its complexity. And this is what we propose to do in this article.
Synthesis of alkylbenzenes via the alkylation of benzene using α-olefin dimers and the surfactant properties of their sulfonates
Authors: Tan Fuwen , Li Xu , Dong Jinxiang
Published: January 2022

Fischer-Tropsch syncrude prepared via the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) using a Fe-based catalyst is featured by its high content of linear α-olefins (C5–C13). The utilization of C6–C8 α-olefins for the synthesis of alkyl benzene sulfonate surfactants was performed in the present work via dimerization, benzene alkylation, and sulfonation. The effects of the reaction conditions on benzene alkylation over a trimethyl amine hydrochloride-acidic anhydrous aluminum chloride ionic liquid catalyst (Et3NHCl-AlCl3) have been studied in detail using C6 α-olefin dimers as a model alkylation agent. Under the optimal reaction conditions (molar ratio of AlCl3 to Et3NHCl = 2, catalyst loading = 0.29 mol %, reaction temperature = 30 °C, and molar ratio of benzene to C6 α-olefin dimer = 10) the conversion of the C6 α-olefin dimer was 100% and the selectivity toward the mono alkylbenzene product was 91.0%. C6–C8 α-olefin dimer alkylbenzene sulfonates (C6–C8 DBS) were synthesized via sulfonation using chlorosulfonic acid and characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC–MS). The surfactant properties of the C6–C8 DBS, including their equilibrium and dynamic surface tension, foaming, wetting and emulsifying capabilities, were closely explored and compared with a commercial linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS). The limiting surface tension (γ
CMC = 34.62 mN m−1) and critical micelle concentration (CMC = 2.15 mmol L−1) of C6 α-olefin dimer alkylbenzene sulfonate (C6-DBS) were similar to those of LAS. Upon increasing the hydrocarbon chain length, the γ
CMC of C6-DBS, C7-DBS, and C8-DBS remained unchanged, while the CMC decreased. C6–C8-DBS exhibited foaming, emulsifying, and wetting properties comparable to LAS.
Evaluation of wheat tolerance during germination and early growth stages to detergent-contaminated water
Authors: Yosefi Maliheh , Heidari Hassan
Published: January 2022

Drought is the major challenge of the present century in agricultural areas. Water scarcity has led to the use of contaminated water. The objective of the study was to determine the tolerance of wheat, Sirvan cultivar, to detergent contaminated water and drought at germination and early growth stages. The research included germination and pot experiments. In the germination experiment, laundry detergent concentrations of 0.05 g L−1, 0.5 g L−1, and 5 g L−1 were used to produce contaminated water and isoosmotic potential of polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to produce water stress. In the pot experiment, the concentrations used in the germination experiment were applied with two irrigation intervals of 2 and 4 days. The results showed that at an osmotic potential of −0.217 MPa of laundry detergent and PEG, all germination traits were drastically reduced, but radicle length and length-based seed vigor were reduced at an osmotic potential of −0.035 MPa of detergent. A laundry detergent concentration of 5 g L−1 combined with drought reduced plant height, leaf area, fresh weight of leaves and stems, and relative water content of leaves. The seed germination stage was more sensitive to the laundry detergent than the early growth stage. It is recommended to irrigate wheat (Sirvan variety) at the germination stage with water that is not contaminated with detergent.
Investigation of the non-linear vibration behaviour and 3:1 internal resonance of the multi supported nanobeam
Authors: Yapanmış Burak Emre , Bağdatlı Süleyman Murat
Published: January 2022

In this present work, linear and non-linear vibration of multi-supported nanobeams, which are a fundamental part of the nano-electromechanical systems, is examined. To the best of the researchers’ knowledge, there is no study performed into multi-supported nanobeam in the literature. The governing equations of the system are obtained by dint of the Hamilton principle and solved via the perturbation technique which is divided linear and non-linear parts of the main equations. The natural frequencies and mode shapes are calculated from the linear problem. The non-linear natural frequencies and amplitude-phase modulation graphs are obtained from the non-linear equation. All equations are written in generalized form, and 3, 4 and 5 supported nanobeams are investigated in detail. The nonlocal coefficient, support number and position and end condition types are focused on. The three to one internal resonance cases are also investigated. It is occurred that the clamped-end conditions shift right in the hardening behaviour graphs more than the simply supported condition. Moreover, it is shown that the supported numbers play a significant role in natural frequency.

"Que nadie duerma" de Juan José Millás: la construcción de un personaje femenino
Authors: Fragero Guerra Carmen
Published: January 2022

Resumen: En este artículo analizamos el modo en el que Juan José Millás (1946- ) construye a la protagonista de su novela Que nadie duerma (2018). Para esto (1) explicamos en qué consiste el estado mental de la limerencia y por qué Lucía es una protagonista limerente. (2) Igualmente ligamos la construcción de la protagonista por parte del autor a la teoría de la hiperculturalidad del filósofo surcoreano Byung-Chul Han (1959- ). (3) Además, desde una perspectiva más literaria, consideramos el modo narrativo de Que nadie duerma.

Concluimos que esta narración muestra la evasión de una mujer –abrumada por las turbulencias socioeconómicas del siglo XXI– en un universo imaginario. Pero esta obra literaria es, sobre todo, un objeto estético en él que se descubren complejas conexiones internas entre el modo narrativo, el vocabulario, la trama y el significado.
Parish Renewal in Light of the Congregation for the Clergy’s Instruction The Pastoral Conversion of the Parish Community in the Service of the Evangelizing Mission of the Church
Authors:   John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Lipiec Dariusz
Published: January 2022

This article presents the Congregation for the Clergy’s reflection on the state of the parish and conditions for pastoral care. The congregation’s most recent instruction entitled The Pastoral Conversion of the Parish Community in the Service of the Evangelizing Mission of the Church presents the authors’ vision for renewal of the parish community and pastoral care within the parish setting. This article is the first of its kind to present the bases for, the conditions of, and the direction that such renewal should take. The need for renewal stems primarily from ongoing cultural changes that are taking place in the modern world. The renewal should transform the parish into a sanctuary where the Word of God is proclaimed in a way that the faithful understand. The parish should become a place of deep devotion to the Eucharist and a shelter for every person in need. In order to renew the parish, it is necessary to change parish structures. It is also fitting to introduce changes concerning the agents of pastoral care and to engage the laity in pastoral care of the parish. Through textual and comparative analysis as well as textual criticism, the author presents the model of parish pastoral care according to the Instruction The Pastoral Conversion of the Parish Community in the Service of the Evangelizing Mission of the Church.
Evaluation of old corrugated container and wood fiber application on surface roughness of three-layer particleboard
Authors: Abdolzadeh Hamideh , Doosthoseini Kazem
Published: January 2022

This paper presents the results of a study to use virgin wood and OCC fiber for particleboard production. Three-layer boards, with wood and OCC fiber on the surface, were fabricated. The type of applied furnishes at surface layers, moisture, and adhesive content were considered as variables, and their effects on roughness of manufactured particleboards were examined. The panels were produced with 10% and 12% urea formaldehyde (UF) adhesive at 10% and 14% moisture content. The surface characteristics were investigated. The results indicated that wood and OCC fiber utilization on the surface layer gave smoother surfaces than a control board with fine wood particles on its surface. The surface roughness decreased as adhesive and moisture content increased.

Published: January 2022

Specimens of p-Si irradiated with 8-MeV electrons have been studied. Various radiation-induced defects have been identified by analyzing the temperature dependences of the hole concentration and the curves of isochronous annealing of irradiated specimens. By analyzing the dependences of the lifetime of minority charge carriers τ, the specific resistance ρ, the hole concentration p, and the Hall mobility μH on the isochronous annealing temperature Tann, theannealing-induced features in the behavior of p and μH are revealed. We determined which radiation-induced defects are recombination centers. From the curves of isochronous annealing carried out during various time intervals, the activation energies of annealing, Eann, are determined for a number of radiation-induced defects.
Effect of pre-treatment and oil popping conditions on quinoa popping quality
Authors: Deepak S. , Shivaswamy M.S. , Sharmila T. , Maheswari M.
Published: January 2022

Quinoa is a pseudocereal having outstanding nutritional profile and health-promoting biofunctional compounds. It is able to pop into an affordable, crispy, and flavourful ready-to-eat snack by conventional oil-popping method. Oil-popping is the process of frying grains in hot oil for a short time to induce vapour-driven expansion of grains. The effects of process variables on oil-popping quality of quinoa were evaluated. The conditions of processing were optimised using Response Surface Methodology. The grains (10 g) were hydrated by adding 0.1–0.3 mL of water containing a varying salt concentration of 0–1%, w/w and popped in coconut oil maintained at a popping temperature of 200–240 °C for a popping time of 10–30 s. The developed popped quinoa was analysed for popping quality indices. It was found that the increase in popping temperature, popping time, and salt concentration, and decrease in moisture level significantly decreased bulk density but increased popping yield (% popped grains), expansion ratio (degree of volume expansion), and flake size (average kernel size) of popped quinoa. Overall acceptability of popped quinoa in terms of sensory attributes was positively correlated with popping temperature and popping time. The optimised variables generated a popping yield of 75.56%, expansion ratio of 3.07, flake size of 11.58 mm3, bulk density of 0.29 g mL−1, and overall acceptability score of 8.40. A threefold expansion and a fair popping yield obtained from oil-popped quinoa offer a significant potential to generate profit for manufacturers.
Mongolia’s Frozen Heritage

Published: January 2022

While pastoral cultures from Mongolia and the dry steppes of eastern Eurasia have had an outsized impact on Eurasian history, the region’s geomorphology, reliance on organic materials, and a nomadic culture that lacks long-lasting architecture on the landscape have conspired to limit our knowledge of important anthropological processes in the deep past. Frozen archaeological sites, including permafrost and finds from glaciers and ice patches, serve as a key exception to this rule, providing detailed snapshots into the ancient lifeways of Mongolia’s mountain zones. However, these sites pose unique challenges for archaeological conservation, and rapid climate warming, paired with other issues like looting, threatens to degrade them faster than they can be identified, studied, or preserved. Here we summarize the known frozen heritage of Mongolia and highlight a recent to-date unpublished case study on salvaging and studying frozen archaeological sites.

The Quality of Urban Living
Authors: Böhm Aleksander
Published: January 2022

Objectives: This paper presets the different factors of living in an urban space, as well as their implications.
Research Design & Methods: The mosaic of the different ways of living in a modern city is currently influenced by a new phenomenon (till now only partially recognised), namely the advancement of information technology. The article assumes the form of the overview of the history of the development of modern city.
Findings: Comparing and estimating different results of urban innovations can serve as the best practice for urban planning.
Implications / Recommendations: Eliminating the disadvantages and retaining the main advantage of a “flat with own garden” – now called smart sprawl – seems to be a permanent and long-lasting tendency.
Contribution / Value Added: The paper is a contribution to the list of the contemporary problems such as urban sprawl, Transport-Oriented Development, telecommuting, and the role of the public space.
Cultural Atmosphere as a Component of the Quality of Life in Cities
Authors: Majer Andrzej
Published: January 2022

Objectives: The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the fact that cultural atmosphere or ambience – although underestimated – is one of the key aspects of the quality of life in cities.
Research Design & Methods: The article is theoretical, as it reviews the literature on the quality of life and the characteristics of cities, trying to identify their main determinants as well as, against this background, to show the importance of cities’ cultural atmosphere.
Findings: The author attempts to prove that the cultural atmosphere is difficult to define, yet it is important feature regarding, for example, motives for attachment to the city or to local patriotism. The paper also explores how the cultural ambience is considered as a significant factor when taking into consideration location-related decisions.
Implications / Recommendations: The subject of the article belongs to the sphere equally important to that of economic features. The culture and its character, elusive yet spectacular, manifests as a vibrant presence of people leading their existence and living side by side in the common environment. Immigrants, clerks, artists, street vendors, and police officers – alongside thousands of homeless people – create spectacular mélange and the character of the city. These features have to be considered.
Contribution / Value Added: This paper tries to ease the relative shortage of scientific analysis on the said topic.

Water Spaces as Urban Activity Nodes
Authors: Jopek Dorota
Published: January 2022

Objectives: In the contemporary cities there are two main development challenges. The first one is related to changes in residents’ lifestyle (e.g. social and physical activity). The second one is associated with those aspects of climate change which have severe consequences for the city dwellers’ safety and comfort. The conducted analysis determines the potential of particular forms of water areas and their development in creating local centres – nodes of activity.
Research Design & Methods: The subject of the conducted scientific research was the water areas of Cracow. Fragments of the Vistula waterfronts were selected as an example of a linear element, and water reservoirs were chosen as surface elements. The study is based on observations and interviews conducted during field visits.
Findings: The analysis of Cracow’s water spaces has shown that not all of them can create activity nodes, which is mainly due to particular areas’ high seasonality of use. The city’s natural areas’ development and use must be carried out with full respect for their natural values. The nodes of urban activity should not be identified only with the flagship public spaces of the city, such as the main squares and parks. These places should be created throughout the entire city, with access to all city residents, i.e. those living in more or less populated areas. Such spaces may be different in their spatial form, but should have a common denominator, namely social integration.
Implications / Recommendations: The article suggests that the potential of creating nodes is related to a specific place’s multi-functionality, its influence range, and its ability to generate users’ activity. The urban nodes’ polycentric system needs to be considered during the development planning. The system’s main aim should be to integrate all city areas by means of a communication network that would be of good quality and quantity.

Published: January 2022

Resumo Nesta pesquisa, objetivou-se compreender o organizar da prática de roteiros turísticos a partir da epistemologia da prática de Theodore Schatzki. O estudo se baseou na epistemologia das práticas segundo Schatzki. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa que utilizou como procedimentos de coleta de dados: pesquisa documental, entrevistas informais e observações participantes. O tratamento dos dados ocorreu a partir de temas definidos a posteriori por meio da análise em espiral. Os resultados indicaram que a dinâmica do roteiro deve ser considerada durante toda a sua prática. Tal dinâmica é resultado de interações entre humanos e elementos materiais que, a partir da organização das práticas, podem ser transformadas de não turísticos a turísticos e promover alterações em toda a configuração da rede de práticas do turismo. Durante a prática do roteiro, humanos e materiais se organizaram e se transformaram em elementos turísticos, surgindo uma relação que só existe durante a prática do roteiro. Ademais, a prática do roteiro apresenta compartilhamentos que permitem lidar com o não compartilhamento, ao mesmo tempo que propicia que ele ocorra.
A origem e o sintoma: dos tempos de Freud aos dias de hoje

Published: January 2022

RESUMO: O presente artigo pretende abordar, por meio do caso O Homem dos Ratos, o caráter ficcional da neurose. Partindo da proposição lacaniana de que a neurose nasce de um furo no saber soberano, o que se busca ressaltar é que, por mais que haja uma intensificação dos excessos e da falta de referências na contemporaneidade, a angústia e o sintoma já estavam presentes desde os tempos de Freud. Assim, com o objetivo de evidenciar que a função paterna é falha por estrutura, investigaremos o complexo de Édipo, fundador do mito de origem, lançando luz sobre o aspecto paradoxal da castração.

Published: January 2022

The cast alloy IN625 has been developed recently and evaluated as a candidate material for 700°C class advanced ultrasupercritical plants. In order to clarify the effects of chromium (Cr) on δ phase precipitation and mechanical properties of cast alloy IN625, aging treatment experiments on cast alloy IN625 with different chromium additions were carried out. It was revealed that the precipitation of the δ phase in cast alloy IN625 after aging at 750°C was nearly unaffected by chromium content. The tensile properties of cast alloy IN625 appeared to be insensitive to chromium content but were sensitive to the δ phase. Stress rupture tests showed that the rupture time of aged alloys increased compared with those of the solid solution alloys. Moreover, when the fraction of the δ phase increased from 18 to 35%, different trends emerged in the stress rupture life at 400 and 375 MPa, respectively.
Water surface profile prediction in compound channels with vegetated floodplains
Authors: Mohseni Marzieh , Naseri Amineh
Published: January 2022

Floods have become one of the most dangerous and frequent natural disasters. Most rivers are characterised by compound cross-sections that are usually contain vegetation. The ability to simulate water surface profiles (WSPs) in vegetated rivers quickly and accurately is crucial in flood forecasting operations. The aim of this study was to develop a low-cost and practical tool for predicting the WSP in compound channels with vegetated floodplains. In particular, artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) techniques were used to devise a model for the prediction of the WSP in an experimental channel. Two approaches were employed: the first was based on the use of non-dimensional data and the second used dimensional data. The performance of the prediction methods was determined using a ten-fold cross-validation approach. Comparative results revealed that the SVM algorithm outperformed the ANN and regression models. The performance of the SVM model using dimensional data (correlation coefficient of 0.99 ± 0.005 and mean absolute error of 0.0019 ± 0.0002) was shown to be marginally better than the model using dimensionless data. Sensitivity analysis also indicated that the relative discharge and relative depth played the most important roles in estimating the WSP.

Disrupted NOTCH activity is a driving event in urothelial bladder cancer (UBC). After activation by hypoxia, the NOTCH3 receptor participates in tumor cell proliferation, acquisition of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype, and angiogenesis. The aim was to analyze the association of NOTCH3 expression with histopathological and clinical parameters, and to determine its predictive impact on the clinical outcome in UBC patients. The present research included 614 UBC samples incorporated in paraffin tissue microarrays, evaluated by immunohistochemistry for NOTCH3 expression. The accrual period was four years, while the follow-up period was two years. The membranous expression was semi-quantified (0-3), and the mean degree was 1.81±0.94. Criteria for semi-quantification the NOTCH3 expression were the intensity of the staining and the percentage of positive cells. The samples with negative (0) and weak (1) NOTCH3 immunohistochemical (IHC) score were considered negative, while the samples that showed moderate (2) and strong (3) expression were considered positive. Higher degree of positivity was associated with higher risk of cancer-specific mortality (p<0.001). Independent predictors for cancer-specific mortality were NOTCH3 expression and high stage (p<0.001). NOTCH3 expression was not a statistically significant predictor of recurrence-free survival (p=0.816). This study indicated that NOTCH3 is a predictor of poor outcome, suggesting that the NOTCH3 could be potentially reliable IHC marker for selecting the UBC patients that would require more intensive follow-up, especially if they diagnosed in higher stage, with divergent differentiation in pathological report, and without recurrences which would lead them to more frequent medical assessments.

Authors: R. Amundsen Cesilie , Wardale Alex , Erik TEJ Joergensen Tor , Babiak Igor
Published: January 2022

The available zebrafish genotyping protocols do not provide the most accurate results, mainly due to the use of electrophoresis gels. Single nucleotide polymorphisms, insertions, deletions and point mutations are most accurately detected by sequencing. Here, we describe a high accuracy and scalable single-day protocol to detect zebrafish mutants by Sanger sequencing. This protocol can be used to successfully genotype zebrafish adults and larvae.
The Heike Monogatari Hyōban Hidenshō Commentary in the Edo Period: Discussion, Criticism, and Education
Authors: Lushchenko Alexey Yu.
Published: January 2022

This article presents several passages from the anonymous 17th c. commentary Heike monogatari hyōban hidenshō. This understudied commentary on the medieval Tale of the Heike shows the didactic aspect of this works reception in the Edo period. Based on comparison with similar texts, such as the commentary Teikanhyō, the claim is made that didactic works of this kind have group authorship and are related to group discussions (kaidoku) by warriors interested in matters of leadership and statecraft. Commentaries such as the Heike monogatari hyōban hidenshō were linked with educational settings throughout the Edo period: in the 17th c. they were used for lectures to daimyo lords, and in the 18th19th cc. they were found in domain schools (hankō) since their content made them suitable for educating young warriors.
New Stage in the Global Order Formation
Authors: Shakleina T.
Published: January 2022

After short slowdown of the US offensive liberal world order formation strategy during the Trump administration, President Biden declared that democrats would pursue offensive strategy of establishing liberal world order. J. Biden’s declarations and recommendations prepared by most prestigious think tanks testify to the fact that the United States are ready to start a new decisive great power competition to achieve and consolidate predominance and omnipower status, to stake everything to achieve irreversible results and overplay China and Russia. To fulfill this ambitious task, democrats suggest policy that combines military and diplomatic instruments. The hypothesis is the following: great power competition is not a new phenomenon in world politics, however contemporary stage of international development can be defined as “new multilevel governable competition” when the United States will try to determine/program world development, development and policies of various countries and organizations. One of the important characteristics of contemporary period is not only new quality and greater scale of competition between three great powers. It is also new quality and density of international milieu: medium range and small countries have got more important status and use new conditions for getting privileges maneuvering among US, China, Russia and some other influential players. The primary aim of the American programming strategy is to restrict as much as possible maneuvering space for China and Russia, preventing formation of “Eurasian center”, to influence the choice of other countries in favor of the West/US. The international situation seems to be rather favorable for the United States, but the danger of overexertion and overextension in fulfilling ambitious task of global offensive and programming governance remains. The “nerve” of the present situation is whether Russia and China can stand against American policy, neutralize its effect. It is not quite clear how other growing powers and medium range countries will act. Coming decades will be decisive for the formation of contemporary world order.

The Eastern Mediterranean has become an arena of fierce competition for an access to sea spaces and their resources, including hydrocarbons. Coastal states and a number of non-regional players are deeply involved in this rivalry. Currently the region is witnessing a confrontation between Turkey and a "balancing coalition", which consists of Greece, Cyprus, Israel and Egypt. The article deals with the problem of maritime spaces delimitation in the Aegean Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean. It also studies the policies of the main actors. The primary goal is to make an assessment of the risks and to analyze possible ways to reduce tension by balancing the interests of major players. The analysis shows that Turkey intends to consistently defend its claims on the continental shelf based on the so-called "principle of justice", thus challenging the Greek claims. Ankara managed to prevent the construction of the EastMed gas pipeline, thus hurting the interests of other countries of the region. In turn, Greece appeals to the norms of international maritime law. Itis actively looking now for allies that could help it contain Turkey. There is a potential “anti-Turkey” coalition comprising France, Israel and Egypt. The authors conclude that, despite the extreme complexity of the situation, especially from the legal point of view, tension in the Eastern Mediterranean can be reduced because the countries of the region are reluctant to engage in a military confrontation with Turkey and alternative routes for energy transportation exist. In addition, there are signs that Greece might be open to a reasonable compromise with Turkey.
