Policy Implementation Framework and Partnership for the Management of Riparian Zones: A Case of River King’wal, Kenya
Authors: Biwott Isaac Kipruto , Were Edmond Maloba , Oino Peter Gutwa
Published: September 2024

Riparian zone management in developing countries is a challenging endeavour in balancing community needs with state intentions. Most of the zones tend to exist in characteristic needy contexts that drive households into encroachment and overexploitation of existing natural resources. This contradicts the policy intentions of the state for their conservation. The River Kingw’al riparian zone experiences anthropogenic pressures that contradict the management capacities of the state, notwithstanding the existing policy framework. This study sought to assess the partnership orientations between both actors informed by the existing policy framework for the management of the River King’wal riparian zone in Nandi County, Kenya. It was anchored in the theory of partnership and adopted a qualitative research design using descriptive research methods. The target population was 664 respondents, comprising government departments and households living along the King’wal Riparian Zone in Nandi County. The sample size was 209 respondents, comprising 195, representing 30% of the population living along the riparian zone, who were selected using simple random sampling techniques, and another 14 respondents who were purposefully selected. Qualitative data which were collected using interviews, questionnaires and focus groups discussion were analyzed and presented thematically. The findings showed that the policy framework remains ineffective in building partnerships between the state and the adjacent community. Community engagement in riparian zone management is cosmetic and non-supportive of the intentions of the state in restricting encroachment and overexploitation of the resources in the protected zone. The study recommends the deliberate capacitation of the local community to encourage it to participate in the conservation of the riparian zone.

Authors: A. S. Yasinskaya
Published: September 2024

The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among patients who go to medical organizations for pain is in therange of up to 80–85 %. Musculoskeletal nonspecific low back pain is associated with the involvement of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and facet joints. Myofascial pain syndrome in the structure of musculoskeletal pain is characterized by a chronic course with the formation of trigger points in limited areas of tense muscles and fascia. In the treatment of musculoskeletal pain in chronic course, the main role is assigned to physical therapy, physiotherapy, manual therapy along with the appointment of antidepressants, acupuncture and massage are recommended, but the level of evidence of the effectiveness of these methods is low. The article contains information about modern methods of medical rehabilitation, including drug therapy used both in the acute period of the disease and in the chronic course of myofascial pain syndrome. Moreover, this article shows the methods of non-drug medical rehabilitation of myofascial pain syndrome, which are highly effective, which is achieved by influencing the main pathogenetic mechanisms of the formation of myofascial trigger zones. Modern methods used in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome, such as kinesiotaping, photomodulation, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, are demonstrated. It is concluded that it is necessary to further study the methods of medical rehabilitation of patients with musculoskeletal pain, and their combination, since an integrated approach to the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome significantly increases the effectiveness of the treatment.
POSSIBILITIES OF FORENSIC MEDICAL EXAMINATION IN DETERMINING THE TYPE OF BARRIER, FROM WHICH A REBOUND OCCURRED WHEN FIRING FROM A SMOOTHBORE WEAPON
Authors: A. O. Gusentsov
Published: September 2024

The article presents modern approaches to carrying out forensic and medical follow-up of gunshot injury. The purpose of the study was to establish objective and scientifically based criteria for determining the type of obstacle from the surface of which a projectile ricocheted when fired from smoothbore weapons. To achieve this goal, a ballistic experiment was carried out on the specified type of behind-the-barrier gunshot injury, a comprehensive medical and forensic study of the results. Binary logistic regression models have been developed that make it possible to carry out a probabilistic prediction of the type of barrier (ordinary clay brick of grade 100, concrete of grade M350 of grade V25, steel of grade St45), from the surface of which a bullet or buckshot ricocheted. Established patterns can be used in court. To achieve this goal, a ballistic experiment was carried out on the specified type of altarpiece gunshot injury, a comprehensive medical and forensic study of the results.

Currently the technologies for the treatment of liver failure to create a “bioartificial liver” are actively being developed in a parallel with the organ transplantation. Such tissue-engineered constructs obtained by devitalization can preserve both the native structure and the three-dimensional architecture of the liver, ensuring biocompatibility for subsequent recellularization. However, it is important to maintain a balance between cell removal and the quality of the extracellular matrix, since excessive devitalization can lead to degradation of the scaffold microarchitecture. Thus, the aim of the study was to assess the quality of the human liver scaffold after machine decellularization process. The developed algorithm for decellularization of the human liver using machine perfusion makes it possible to obtain an acellular matrix in a minimum time period, which meets the main quality control criteria (absence of a cellular component, minimal content of residual DNA in the tissue, preservation of the extracellular matrix, sterility, absence of a cytotoxic effect).

Abstract. This study presents advancements in the processing of satellite remote sensing data, focusing mainly on aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals from the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS). The transformation of Level-2 (L2) data, which includes atmospheric-state retrievals, into higher-quality Level-3 (L3) data is crucial in remote sensing. Our contributions lie in two novel improvements to the processing algorithm. First, we improve the inverse-distance-weighting algorithm by incorporating quality flag information into the weight calculation. By assigning weights that are inversely proportional to the number of unreliable grids, the method can provide more accurate L3 products. We validate this approach through simulation studies and apply it to GEMS AOD data across various regions and wavelengths. The use of quality flags in the algorithm can provide a more accurate analysis of remote sensing. Second, we employ a spatiotemporal merging method to address both spatial and temporal variability in AOD data, a departure from previous approaches that solely focused on spatial variability. Our method considers temporal variations spanning previous time intervals. Furthermore, the computed mean fields show similar spatiotemporal patterns to previous studies, confirming their ability to capture real-world phenomena. Lastly, utilizing this procedure, we compute the mean field estimates for GEMS AOD data, which can provide a deeper understanding of the impact of aerosols on climate change and public health.
Assessing the potential of free-tropospheric water vapour isotopologue satellite observations for improving the analyses of convective events

Published: September 2024

Abstract. Satellite-based observations of free-tropospheric water vapour isotopologue ratios (HDO / H2O, expressed in form of the δ value δD) with good global and temporal coverage have become available recently. We investigate the potential of these observations for constraining the uncertainties of the atmospheric analyses fields of specific humidity (q), temperature (T), and δD and of variables that capture important properties of the atmospheric water cycle, namely the vertical velocity (ω), the latent heating rate (Q2), and the precipitation rate (Prcp). Our focus is on the impact of the δD observations relative to the impact achieved by the observation of q and T, which are much more easily observed by satellites and are routinely in use for atmospheric analyses. For our investigations we use an Observing System Simulation Experiment; i.e. we simulate the satellite observations of q, T, and δD with known uncertainties and coverage (e.g. observations are not available for cloudy conditions, i.e. at locations where the atmosphere is vertically unstable). Then we use the simulated observations within a Kalman-filter-based assimilation framework in order to evaluate their potential for improving the quality of atmospheric analyses. The study is made for low latitudes (30° S to 30° N) and for 40 d between mid-July and the end of August 2016. We find that q observations generally have the largest impacts on the analyses' quality and that T observations have stronger impacts overall than δD observations. We show that there is no significant impact of δD observations for stable atmospheric conditions; however, for very unstable conditions, the impact of δD observations is significant and even slightly stronger than the respective impact of T observations. Very unstable conditions are rare but are related to extreme events (e.g. storms, flooding); i.e. the δD observations significantly impact the analyses' quality of the events that have the largest societal consequences. The fact that no satellite observations are available at the location and time of the unstable conditions indicates a remote impact of δD observations that are available elsewhere. Concerning real-world applications, we conclude that the situation of δD satellite observations is very promising but that further improving the model's linkage between convective processes and the larger-scale δD fields might be needed for optimizing the assimilation impact of real-world δD observations.
Drainage rearrangement in an intra-continental mountain belt: a case study from the central South Tian Shan, Kyrgyzstan

Published: September 2024

Abstract. Fluvial drainage patterns in orogenic belts reflect interactions among tectonics, climate, and lithology. The central South Tian Shan displays a complex fluvial drainage pattern that shifts from longitudinal (flowing parallel to mountain ranges) in the west to transverse (flowing across ranges) in the east. Whether such drainage patterns reflect underlying patterns of tectonic deformation, lithology, climate, or the influence of surface processes within a drainage basin is often unclear. We focus here on the large Saryjaz catchment of SE Kyrgyzstan, which marks the transition between longitudinal and transverse drainages. We analyse topographic and fluvial metrics including slope, river steepness (ksn), and the integral proxy (χ) along the river profile, and we map the spatial distribution and characteristics of knickpoints to discern the possible controls on the observed drainage pattern. We discriminate between knickpoints of different origin, namely tectonic, lithologic, glacial, and those linked to transient waves of incision. We find a series of transient knickpoints in tributaries downstream of a sharp 180° bend in the main stem of the Saryjaz river, which also marks a striking increase in channel steepness. Both observations indicate accelerated incision along this lower reach of the catchment. Knickpoint elevations and ksn below the knickpoints decrease downstream, whereas χt values of knickpoints (χ measured from the tributary junctions) remain near-constant among tributaries. These results, together with a comparison of other rivers in the vicinity that show no evidence of transient knickpoints, suggest that transient incision in the Saryjaz catchment is driven “top-down” by a large-magnitude river capture event rather than “bottom-up” by accelerated uplift or base-level fall. We estimate an erodibility parameter from 10Be-derived catchment-average denudation rates and use this to estimate the celerity of knickpoints. We find that the knickpoints started retreating at a similar time between ca. 1.5 and 4.4 Myr ago. Considering the river patterns and the timing constraints, we suggest that this capture event was likely driven by the overfill of Neogene intermontane basins, potentially affected by both tectonic and climate factors.
Negative Effect of Ambiguous First Names in Online Mate Selection
Authors: Ogawa Kazuya , Takikawa Hiroki
Published: September 2024

Research has shown that some first names can be disadvantageous on the marriage market. However, the precise mechanisms whereby names influence mate selection behaviour remain unknown. This study attempted to address this gap. More specifically, this investigation examined Japanese women’s preferences for male partners with common male names with clear readings as compared to male partners with names with unclear or “ambiguous” readings. This investigation had two guiding hypotheses: (1) Japanese women have a lower preference for ambiguous male names; (2) the lower degree of preference for ambiguous male names was attributable to Japanese women assuming that the names were indicative of a low social class. To test these hypotheses, we conducted a conjoint experiment of 1,261 single Japanese women aged 25 to 34 years in a fictitious online mate selection setting. Participants were provided with fourteen randomly generated profiles of potential marital partners and were asked to decide whether to prefer them or not. It was found that the female participants preferred profiles with common male names over profiles with ambiguous male names in an online mate selection setting, with a significant effect size of 7 percentage points.  This finding supported hypothesis 1. However, no evidence was found for hypothesis 2.

Published: September 2024

Based on data from the national waste information system, total waste in Indonesia in 2022 will be 36.1 million tons per year. Referring to this data, there is still a lack of waste processing and requires quite large costs for waste processing resulting from the increase in population, changes in consumption patterns and people's lifestyles. As a solution, researchers have developed a tool to make 3D printing filament using used bottles as the main material. The tool is equipped with a stepper motor that controls the process of winding plastic bottle tape into 3D printing filament. Regulating the rotation of the stepper motor and controlling the tool as a whole uses an Arduino UNO microcontroller and a potentiometer. Based on research results, on PET and PP bottles, speed control results were obtained for PET bottles using a speed of 49 rpm, the results obtained were good with a diameter of 1.75 mm. and for pp bottles it is at a speed of 26 rpm. For the PP type, good quality filament results were obtained with a diameter of 1.75 mm. in further research to use PID control so that PWM changes are more stable for motor rotation, use a power supply with a more stable output, and determine the right angle for cutting plastic bottles to produce the same cut.

The main goal of this study was to explore the relationship between the variables being studied, the hypothesis suggested that there is likely a relationship between abuse, emotional regulation, and spiritual intelligence. This research employed a correlational research design. A total of 117 participants were included in the study, and they were selected using purposive sampling. Adolescents from the Child Protection and Welfare Bureau and Ilm-o-Hunar Foundation Lahore were chosen for the study. The study utilized the Adolescent version of the Child Abuse Scale-Revised, the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire, and The Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory for measurements. The findings suggested a positive association between adolescent abuse and spiritual intelligence. Meanwhile, there was a significant negative correlation between abuse and Emotional Regulation-Expressive Suppression. There was no significant correlation found between abuse and Emotional Regulation-Cognitive Suppression. Based on the current study, it can be deduced that abuse is positively related to spiritual intelligence, while emotional regulation expressive suppression is negatively associated with abuse. Individuals who have experienced abuse may perpetuate victimization due to the pain they have endured. This research will contribute to a better understanding of the issue and the development of improved intervention strategies to address victimizing behavior. Furthermore, it will aid in the implementation of therapeutic interventions to help victims lead better lives.

Published: September 2024

The article covers the basics of studying homonyms in the Uzbek and Turkish languages in the linguocognitive aspect. It is noted that studies of homonymy in world linguistics are studied primarily on the basis of a comparative-historical, systemic-structural paradigm. Despite the existence of different approaches and contradictory views on the interpretation of the phenomenon of homonymy in language, the significance of the phenomenon of homonymy in language acquisition, the hidden expression of reality and thought, the meaning of different meanings in a literary text are shown It is noted that the anthropocentric paradigm studies language based on the interest, worldview, thinking and perception of its users, and also shows the role of homonymy in the development of individual thinking. Research aimed at the anthropocentric study of homonyms in foreign linguistics is analyzed, and the theoretical foundations for the study of homonyms in the Uzbek and Turkish languages in the linguistic-cognitive direction are shown. The linguistic features expressed in homonymous lines in the Uzbek and Turkish languages are analyzed.
The Problem of Common Communication Language in Turkish State and Community Today

Published: September 2024

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Turkic republics began to show themselves in the international arena as separate independent states. The newly independent republics began to open up to the world and establish relations in all fields of economy, science, art, and sports. The common language of communication spoken by Turkic peoples and communities was the most important issue that attracted the main attention in these meetings. In high-level meetings, the fact that the participants communicated in different dialects of the language formed in the same historical period in some cases caused certain difficulties and disagreements. Historically, Turks spoke various dialects of common origin. Ideas about language and the alphabet have always been the number one topic of discussion at the meetings held at a high level. In these meetings, the issues of whether a common alphabet union could be established among the Turkic peoples, and whether a common written language and communication language could be formed were constantly being discussed in these meetings and solutions were sought. Today, Turkic people need a common language of communication to establish scientific, economic, and political relations at the highest level in the globalizing world. Turkey Turkish has now paved the way for the states and communities in which Turks live. Today, the Republic of Turkey establishes high-level relations with Turkic-speaking countries in the fields of civil, economic, and education. So, Turkey Turkish has now paved the way for Turkic geography. Turkey Turkish should or can mediate for a common spoken language between Turkic people. But we should also say that Turkic has minor problems within itself. If Turkey Turkish wants to take the responsibility of being the common language of communication among Turkic peoples, then it can reveal minor problems in Turkish.

Emotional-conceptual picture of the world, emotions and the concept of fea
Authors:   Urganch State University., Davletov Kamaraddin
Published: September 2024

The anthropocentric approach to the study of the language is one of the most important developping directions of modern linguistics. It can be said that anthropocentric linguistics appeared in the middle of the 20th century as a reaction of linguists to structuralism, which was based on the study of language outside of man, and man outside of language. The integration of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the language of emotions allows us to reveal the objective picture of the expression of emotions in language and to determine the basis of conceptual modeling of the processes of emotional and intellectual interpretation of reality by the subject of speech. Therefore, in the article, an attempt was made to inter- pret such terms as “picture of the world”, “linguistic picture of the world”, “emotional-linguistic picture of the world” which are widely used in the field of linguistics. Also, the role and types of emotions in the system of human experiences are classified.

Flood, Famine, Contagion, and Comedy: Laughing at Environmental Catastrophe with Chaucer’s Miller and Nun’s Priest
Authors: Provost Jeanne
Published: September 2024

This article examines the comic depictions of environmental disaster in Chaucer’s Miller’s Tale and Nun’s Priest’s Tale in light of real environmental disasters—floods, famines, and plagues—of the fourteenth century, in order to better understand how Chaucer’s comedy functions as environmental rhetoric. Ecocriticism and comedy theory are used to explore Chaucer’s comedy as a rhetoric that encourages resilience in the face of traumatic environmental events. In the Miller’s Tale, comic depictions of a prophesied flood bring fantasies of environmental control back down to earth and ground audiences in the reality of the moment. In the Nun’s Priest’s Tale, comic allusions to famine, plague, and agrarian collapse foreground human connectedness with many kinds of life. In both cases, Chaucer’s comedy encourages audiences to adapt creatively to the environmental challenges of their time.

Los sentidos de la democracia. Una crítica desde la esfera pública
Authors: Zaragoza Ramírez Mario Alberto
Published: September 2024

La democracia es una forma de gobierno, pero entre sus características se le han asignado una serie de acepciones, como bienestar, elecciones libres, alternancia, transparencia, desarrollo institucional y libertad en el sentido más amplio del término, que no necesariamente son parte constitutiva de una forma de gobernar. Ante este panorama significativo y de múltiples representaciones, la teoría política se ha preocupado más por estudiar las formas institucionales de la democracia, los procedimientos y la calidad de los gobiernos, según algunos estándares que limitan la comprensión de la manera de gobernar, los pasos a seguir o metas por cumplir. En contraste, el presente texto tiene por objetivo realizar una crítica a los sentidos existentes de la democracia, a través de la descripción y caracterización de la esfera pública, lo que posibilitará un sentido más amplio y complejo de la forma de gobernar a la ciudadanía, como algo que se construye día a día y es parte de la vida cotidiana y no necesariamente en la lejanía del desarrollo de la vida institucional.
