18. yüzyılda imparatorluklar içerisindeki siyasal hareketliliklerin etkisiyle birçok millet göçe zorlanmıştır. Bu göçlerden en fazla etkilenenler Balkan ve Kafkas halkları olmuştur. Yirmi yılı aşkın sürede gerçekleşen ve iki milyona yakın Kafkas halkını yurtlarından ayrılmak durumunda bırakan bu göç, tarihte bilinen en büyük zorunlu göç hareketlerinden biridir. Gerek kandaşlık, gerekse dindaşlığın getirmiş olduğu sorumlulukla Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’da bu göçlere kayıtsız kalmamıştır. Bu süreçten en fazla, Çerkesler, Gürcüler, Abhazlar başta olmak üzere Karaçaylar, Balkarlar gibi milletler etkilenmiş ve göç esnasında asla unutulmayacak trajik olaylarla da karşılaşılmıştır. Osmanlı topraklarına göç eden Kafkas Halkları, Anadolu’da farklı bölgelere yerleşmişlerdir ve Eskişehir, Sakarya, Düzce, Kocaeli gibi şehirlerde yoğun Kafkas Halk nüfusu oluşmuştur. Özellikle bu bölgelere kültürel çeşitlilik getiren milletler, Cumhuriyet dönemi ile birlikte önemli katkılar da sağlamışlardır. Eğitim başta olmak üzere, tarım, teknoloji ve kültürel değerlerin artışına vesile olmuşlardır. Düzce Üniversitesi’nin bulunduğu konum ve üstlendiği misyon gereği bölgede yaşayan kültürlerin araştırılması, geliştirilmesi ve kayıt altında tutulması amacı ile gerçekleştirilmesi planlanan bu belgesel projesinin olumlu çıktıları olacağı düşünülmektedir. Yaşanılan bu göçlerin araştırılarak dönemin anlaşılmasına katkı sağlaması için tasarlanan bu belgesel projesi için kaynakların bir kısmını yazılı kaynaklar oluştururken diğer önemli kısmını ise sözlü kaynaklar oluşturmuştur. Proje ile Kafkas halklarının, yaşadıkları olayların mahiyeti, kültürel değerleri, göç sonrası yaşamları ve toplumsal olarak geçirdikleri sosyal değişimlerin anlaşılması amaçlanmıştır.
The nature of vegetation cover and small mammal community structure (on the example of Nizhny Novgorod)
Authors: Boryakova Elena E.
Published: July 2024

The spatial distribution of Apodemus species (yellow-necked, field, and small forest mice) was studied on the example of the protected area «Oak forest of National Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod Botanical Garden». Twelve plant associations with non-moral character and representing derivatives of the indigenous type of vegetation were studied. Environmental conditions assessed by the Ellenberg phytoindication method affect the distribution of small mammals in space indirectly. The nature of vegetation cover is more significant. When projective cover increases, the abundance of both small woodland and field mice increases. The strategy of Apodemus agrarius appears to be similar to that of Apodemus uralensis, a species that shows stenobiontic traits in the studied PA. At the same time, insignificant anthropogenic load, a marker of which is the presence of Urtica dioica ruderal species, leads to an increase in the mosaic of vegetation cover, which has a positive effect on the abundance of these small mammal species. A moderate increase in the Berger-Parker dominance index for vegetation cover is positively associated with the confinement of micromammals. In addition, in the conditions of the recreational zone of the upland part of N. Novgorod, Apodemus agrarius prefers areas of old-growth broadleaved forest, not showing the features of anthropophily.

Published: July 2024

The article considers the evaluation of sustainability of natural complexes of low-mountain sections of the western slope of the Southern Urals (Minyarsk physical and geographical area) on the basis of analysis of landscape profiles on the indicator of sustainability of natural complexes. Peculiarities of the study area are highlighted: specific climatic conditions, complex geological and geomorphological conditions with ongoing industrial development, as well as a variety of soil and hydrological conditions combined with anthropogenic transformation of the territory. In the course of landscape profiling, as well as the application of methods of assessment of anthropogenic transformation of landscapes (at the level of the terrain), a decrease of diversity in natural complexes on the studied slopes was established, Replacement of typical plant communities by secondary successional communities in lowland areas dominated by horsetail. It has also been established that the aggregate of conditions in natural complexes indicates anthropogenic transformation of slope landscapes, the aggregate leading factor of which is the geochemical position on the element of the slope, Low resistance to external influence of the soil with a rinsing type of water regime defining plant associations. The obtained materials can be used as a basis for analysis of ecological condition of landscapes of the western slope of the Southern Urals, as well as characteristics of slope types of locations. Materials allow to further assess the recreational attractiveness of landscapes and the choice of ways of natural use of the studied area.
Natural forming of vegetation cover on black coal mining dumps in the environs of Kopeysk (Chelyabinsk Oblast)
Authors: Nazarenko Nazar N. , Dolgonos Xenia A.
Published: July 2024

The article considers the current forming of vegetation and biotopes as a result of natural overgrowth of territories disturbed during black coal mining in the environs of Kopeysk town (Chelyabinsk Oblast). The 88 species of vascular plants were detected on the waste banks and spaces between them, the 7 species of vascular plants are woody species. It has been established that in the process of natural overgrowth of dumps, forest and meadow plant communities are actively formed from pioneer ruderal and halophytic communities. By methods of multidimensional statistics, 15 phytocoenochores have been determined and the discriminate of which is d identified by the tree species, which are forming the forest canopy. The identified plant communities are characterized by specific regimes of the fundamental abiotic factors of biotopes and make up a series of biotopic and coenotic substitution, forming a sylvant (forest) and pratant (meadow) successional series. It has been shown that in the process of natural overgrowth, the formation of forest (primarily birch) and meadow coenoses proceeds in parallel, and the invasive species Acer negundo L. plays an active role in sylvatization. It has been established that the leading hand in the formation of the coenotic structure of communities belongs to soil mineralization, acidity, aeration and variability of soil moisture. The obtained data on biotopes and successional series can be used in the development of the biological stage of landfill revegetation after coal mining impacts with the formation of woody or grass plant communities.

Authors: Portnyagina Nadezhda Vasilyevna , Echishvili Elmira Elizbarovna
Published: July 2024

The article summarizes the results of many years of studying Leonurus cardiaca L. under cultural conditions in the North. It was revealed that in the first year of life, with the seedling method of cultivation, motherwort plants are in the pregenerative period. The transition of individuals into the generative period is noted in the second year of life. The winter hardiness and stability of plants in agrocoenosis is quite high. Under cultural conditions, specimens of L. cardiaca plants of different geographical origins retained the rhythms of seasonal development characteristic of this species. It was revealed that plants of L. cardiaca are characterized by extended periods of flowering (38–44 days) and fruiting (35–40 days). The growing season from the beginning of regrowth to seed collection was 127–132 days. In the years studied, different samples of L. cardiaca formed mature seeds weighing 1000 pcs. seeds 0,86–1,03 g and laboratory germination of 55–91%, which meets the requirements for the quality of seed material of this type. L. cardiaca plants reached their maximum development in the third to fifth years of life, being in a middle-aged generative ontogenetic state: plant height 98–166 cm, shoot-forming capacity – 18–22 pcs. per individual, inflorescence length 26–36 cm, raw material of the main shoot 7,2–8,6 g of wet and 2,1–2,9 g of air-dried phytomass. For the first time the mass fraction of nitrogen (2,4–2,9%) and the amino acid composition of proteins were determined in the above-ground raw phytomass of L. cardiaca. 17 amino acids were quantified, including seven essential ones (39,4% of the total). The highest content in plants was observed for amino acids: glutamic (12,5%), aspartic (11,6%), leucine (9,9%), lysine (8,3%), alanine (6,6%), valine (6,6%) and arginine (5,8%).

Published: July 2024

The study of the morphological state of target organs of outbred (nonlinear) laboratory mice ICR (CD-1), which were under prolonged dynamic influence of physical and chemical factors of the production environment under model conditions, is of wide research interest, as it allows to assess the impact of these factors at the tissue and cellular level and to identify the presence of pathological changes in relation to the group control that was not exposed to the studied factors of the production environment during the 90-day experiment, which has clinical and practical significance. When assessing the 90-day dynamics (from 0 days – 6 months (background) to 30–60–90 days – 7–8–9 months) of the impact of environmental factors on the morphological state of tissues and organs of outbred (nonlinear) laboratory mice ICR (CD-1), generally accepted and unified methods were used. Animals (weighing 45–50 gr., sexually mature age – 6 months) were divided into 3 experimental groups (vibration exposure, noise exposure, chemical exposure) of 30 individuals each (15 females and 15 males) and 1 control group (15 females and 15 males), kept in standard comfortable conditions, and not exposed to the factors of the production environment. The experiment was conducted in accordance with the rules adopted by the European Convention for the Protection of Animals Used for Experimental Scientific Purposes (Strasbourg, 1986), after approval by the Ethical commission of the Novosibirsk Research Institute of Hygiene of Rospotrebnadzor. Statistical processing of the research materials was carried out using standard Statistica 10.0 application programs. The morphological analysis of the target organs of experimental animals revealed the presence of a complex of pathological changes in the 90-day dynamics of the impact of factors of the production environment, compared with the morphological state of the organs in the control group. The results obtained have clinical and practical significance, as they allow us to justify preventive measures aimed at preventing the negative impact of long-term production factors on the labor contingent. Further study of the morphological state of target organs of ICR laboratory mice exposed to prolonged dynamic exposure to physical and chemical factors of the production environment under model conditions will contribute to the establishment of mechanisms for the development of occupational diseases and the development of scientifically based medical and hygienic measures aimed at preserving the health of the labor contingent in the management of labor longevity.
On the issue of discovering new names of major cultural figures of the 17th century: master Karp Ivanovich Zolotarev
Authors: Galimova Liliya N. , Pavlenko Alla A.
Published: July 2024

The 17th century is a century that preserved in the memory of the history of Russian culture vivid monuments, the authors of which were innovative masters, artists, and creators. This article examines the creative life in the historiography of the 17th century icon painter, student of Bogdan Saltanov – Karp Ivanovich Zolotarev, a court master during the reign of Tsar Fyodor Alekseevich and the regency of Princess Sophia. Biography of K.I. Zolotarev is presented in the historiography of researchers, historians, restorers in chronology from the 18th century. Only in the late 1970s, thanks to the work of Soviet restorers, were works created by K.I. Zolotarev. Before this, only brief mentions of this multifaceted master were found in historical literature. Part of the research confirms that in a number of works the name of K.I. Zolotarev is listed among the artists of the Armory Chamber and the Gold-Painting Workshop of the Ambassadorial Prikaz. In addition, researchers of Russian book culture spoke about K.I. Zolotarev as a major organizer who headed the workshop of the above-mentioned order. The research made it possible to summarize all the materials about the master and identify the stylistic features of this master, suggesting that the iconographic sources of the works of K.I. Zolotarev could have been works by Dutch and German artists. Biography of K.I. Zolotarev still needs further study and clarification today.

Published: July 2024

The article examines the features of the conduct and social significance of elections to Soviet authorities in 1947–1953. The importance of studying this topic is associated with the need to study the state of Soviet society during the designated period. The study of elections to local authorities allows us to reconstruct the tasks that the Soviet authorities set when conducting election campaigns, the features of their conduct in different localities, the reaction of citizens, their orders and expectations from election campaigns and electoral actions. In the course of the study, using new data from archival documents, it was possible to establish the dates and features of the election campaigns to the Soviet authorities in 1947, 1950, 1953. It was noted that regular election campaigns contributed to increasing the political knowledge of citizens, introducing them to Soviet political culture, and also formed a «positive image» of the authorities in the eyes of Soviet citizens. At the same time, election campaigns revealed that Soviet citizens had a number of critical comments about the nominated deputies, which suggests the existence of dissatisfaction with certain aspects of everyday life that did not affect the main directions of Soviet state policy.

Possibilities of the academic discipline «Pedagogy» in the development of critical thinking of students – future teachers
Authors: Semenova Olga M.
Published: July 2024

The article provides the author’s definition of the concept of «teacher critical thinking.» The potential of the academic discipline «Pedagogy» is revealed in the formation of critical thinking of students – future teachers. The possibilities of lectures and seminars in the development of critical thinking of students at a pedagogical university are outlined. Lectures allow you to demonstrate manifestations of critical thinking in the professional activities of a teacher: mechanisms for choosing methods, techniques, means of teaching and education, ways of constructing lessons and extracurricular activities. Seminar classes contribute to the development of students’ ability to detect the supra-situational problematic nature of a pedagogical situation, the formation of intellectual and personal qualities necessary for making pedagogical decisions. The logic of how students solve pedagogical situations is proposed, which contributes to the formation of critical thinking of future teachers: 1) orientation of students in the situation (analytical process), which becomes the starting point for determining the pedagogical task (constructive process); 2) obtaining information about the teenager (analytical process), on the basis of which the process of interaction with the teenager is organized (constructive process); 3) analysis of the achieved results (analytical process), leading to the determination of directions for further activities (constructive process). Examples are given of the formation of critical thinking of students – future teachers at lectures and seminars in the academic discipline «Pedagogy».
Personally oriented model of education in the context of the concept of spiritual and practical development of the world in morality
Authors: Tsepkova Anzhelika N.
Published: July 2024

The article outlines the importance of a personality-oriented model of education in the field of a harmonious combination of the interests of the individual, consisting of free self-development and preservation of individuality, and the interests of Russian society, the most important of which is the self-development of each of its members under the sign of morality. The theoretical foundations of a personality-oriented model of education are outlined: the value of the student’s personality; education of a person of culture as the goal of personality-oriented education; subjective experience of the individual as its content. It is proposed to consider a personality-oriented model of education as a theoretical construct formed by cognitive, axiological, activity-creative and personal modules, including knowledge, values, methods of activity and creativity, personal characteristics, respectively. The content of the activity-creative module is supplemented with such a component as a way of mastering the world in morality. The main provisions of the concept of spiritual and practical mastery of the world in morality are revealed: the mastery of the world by a person in morality presupposes knowledge of morality, which appears not in an explicit form, but in a transformed form – through a special method of assessment, through requirements; the individual not only assimilates moral demands proposed from the outside, but is an active subject in their development. The role of moral consciousness in a person’s spiritual and practical mastery of the world in morality is revealed, providing a search for the value-normative meaning of people’s actions and relationships, on the basis of which the relationships between people are assessed. It is substantiated that students’ spiritual and practical mastery of the world in morality is possible within the framework of a personality-oriented model of education.

Published: July 2024

Researchers in the marine ecosystem have documented the significant impacts that anthropogenic ocean acidification has on marine organisms. These include olfactory abilities in fish, impaired behavioral as well as physiological changes, including anti-predatory response leading to consequences in population dynamics and community structure. In this research, we endeavored to investigate and compare the growth rate of the gold mollies (Poecialia sphenops) larvae under a low pH of 5 water temperature of 28 O C, and a pH of 6.9 at a water temperature of 26 O conditions. The mollies larvae were weighed for four months (August, September, October, and November) and the data collected was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM SPSS). The analysis was a multivariate test for a more complete examination of data by looking at independent variables and their relationship to one another. There was no statistically significant difference in the growth rate in August (p-value 0.969) and September (p-value 0.286) between the larvae in aquarium A (experimental) and those in aquarium D (control) at the beginning of the experiment. But there was a statistically significant difference in the third (3) month (October) P-value = 0.007 and in the fourth month (4) (November) P-value = 0.004. The low pH of 5 impacted the growth rate of the Poecilia sphenops larvae while those in the control aquarium pH of 6.9 seemed to have not been affected and grew well.

The role of net financial assets in the euro area in the scope of Agreement on Net Financial Assets (ANFA)
Authors: Kowalewski Paweł , Szadkowski Mikołaj
Published: July 2024

The Agreement on Net Financial Assets (ANFA) is an important element of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and is supposed to grant national central banks a large degree of autonomy in the management of some of its assets and liabilities. Until the turn of 2015 and 2016, very little was known about both this agreement and the way it works. It was not until the eruption of the last phase of the Greek crisis in 2015 when certain rumours started to circulate, according to which the ANFA was to become an instrument aimed to alleviate fiscal tensions. This kind of claims incentivized the ECB in February 2016 to disclose the content of the ANFA. If all the rumours concerning the possibilities of financing debt proved to be unfounded, the ANFA seems not only to grant autonomy in the management of a given national central bank’s assets and liabilities, it also offers room for these banks to manage their liquidity needs. This paper is aimed at presenting the importance of the net financial assets (NFAs which are the subject of the ANFA) for the Eurosystem from two different perspectives. The first one focuses on the NFA perception from the point of view of the balance sheet of different national central banks which are part of the Eurosystem. The second scrutinises the link involving net financial assets and liquidity management. The conclusions drawn upon the content of this paper indicate that thanks to the ANFA, national central banks enjoy a large degree of autonomy within the Eurosystem, and its use helps to preserve integrity of the EMU.

Published: July 2024

Spondylolisthesis, a condition marked by vertebral slippage, presents a challenge in medical diagnosis and grading. This study examines previous research on image processing for spondylolisthesis severity evaluation. Methodologies, sample sizes, algorithms, and measurement accuracy are the main topics of interest. The study shows the potential of computer-assisted methods for diagnosing spondylolisthesis, particularly in situations where qualified medical personnel are scarce. Machine learning techniques and deep learning models, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), are utilized to accurately detect and assess spondylolisthesis. Notably, these findings address a gap in previous research by measuring spondylolisthesis severity and distinguishing between normal and abnormal spines. The analysis emphasizes the significance of selecting the appropriate modality and data quality, with X-rays predominating as the preferred imaging technique. This review highlights how deep learning and machine learning models can improve spondylolisthesis diagnosis, enabling enhanced diagnosis and treatment methods.

Authors: Khairi Khessro Ghada , Muhammed Khidhir AbdulSattar
Published: July 2024

Due to their growing popularity and rapid performance improvements, smartphones have the potential to be an accurate, low-cost physiological monitoring tool that is useful outside of the clinical setting. Since the cardiac pulse is responsible for the slight color changes in skin, a pulsatile signal that is also known as a photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal can be evaluated by utilizing a digital camera to record a video of your Region Of Interest (ROI).
This review Study focuses on several research works that have used PPG-based video smartphone camera methods to measure Heart Rate (HR), Blood Pressure (BP), Oxygen Saturation (SpO2), and Respiratory Rate (RR). Comparing the approaches and results of each study (HR measurement studies produced acceptable findings with error rates less than 5%, BP error rates of results less than 10%, and SpO2 =<3.5%, by comparing the predicted models reading with the standard references reading) shows how smartphone-based physiological monitoring might be used in medical settings.

Recruiting retired specialists back into part-time practice via telemedicine

Richard J. Santen, MD, Emeritus Professor of Medicine at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, U.S., looks at how to recruit retired specialists to practice part-time via telemedicine. Patients living in rural, underserved areas in the United States (U.S.) lack access to specialists for care of complicated medical problems. Specialists generally practice in cities and choose not to live in rural areas based on several financial, geographical, and social reasons. A potential solution to this problem involves convincing retired specialists to go back into practice part-time and use telemedicine to fill the need in these rural, underserved areas.
