Establishing Phase Definitions for Jump and Drop Landings and an Exploratory Assessment of Performance-Related Metrics to Monitor During Testing

Published: December 2023

Harry, JR, Simms, A, and Hite, M. Establishing phase definitions for jump and drop landings and an exploratory assessment of performance-related metrics to monitor during testing. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2023—Landing is a common task performed in research, physical training, and competitive sporting scenarios. However, few have attempted to explore landing mechanics beyond its hypothesized link to injury potential, which ignores the key performance qualities that contribute to performance, or how quickly a landing can be completed. This is because a lack of (a) established landing phases from which important performance and injury risk metrics can be extracted and (b) metrics known to have a correlation with performance. As such, this article had 2 purposes. The first purpose was to use force platform data to identify easily extractable and understandable landing phases that contain metrics linked to both task performance and overuse injury potential. The second purpose was to explore performance-related metrics to monitor during testing. Both purposes were pursued using force platform data for the landing portion of 270 jump-landing trials performed by a sample of 14 NCAA Division 1 men's basketball players (1.98 ± 0.07 m; 94.73 ± 8.01 kg). The proposed phases can separate both jump-landing and drop-landing tasks into loading, attenuation, and control phases that consider the way vertical ground reaction force (GRF) is purposefully manipulated by the athlete, which current phase definitions fail to consider. For the second purpose, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, the corresponding statistical probabilities (α = 0.05), and a standardized strength interpretation scale for correlation coefficients (0 < trivial ≤ 0.1 < small ≤ 0.3 < moderate ≤ 0.5 < large ≤ 0.7 < very large) were used for both the group average (i.e., all individual averages pooled together) and individual data (i.e., each individual's trials pooled together). Results revealed that landing time, attenuation phase time, average vertical GRF during landing, average vertical GRF during the attenuation phase, average vertical GRF during the control phase, vertical GRF attenuation rate, and the amortization GRF (i.e., GRF at zero velocity) significantly correlated with landing performance, defined as the ratio of landing height and landing time (R ≥ ± 0.58; p < 0.05), such that favorable changes in those metrics were associated with better performance. This work provides practitioners with 2 abilities. First, practitioners currently assess jump capacity using jump-landing tests (e.g., countermovement jump) with an analysis strategy that makes use of landing data. Second, this work provides preliminary data to guide others when initially exploring landing test results before identifying metrics chosen for their own analysis.

Kyriacou-Rossi, A, Hadjicharalambous, M, and Zaras, N. The influence of strength level on handball-specific fitness elements between stronger and weaker professional players. J Strength Cond Res 38(5): 966–975, 2024—The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of strength level between stronger and weaker handball players on handball specific fitness elements and to explore the correlations between strength and sport-specific fitness elements. Twenty-one professional male handball-players (age: 25.9 ± 6.9 years; mass: 87.9 ± 13.9 kg; height: 1.81 ± 0.08 m), participated in the study. Players were divided into the stronger (SG) and weaker group (WG) according to their relative to body mass 1 repetition maximum strength (1RM). Measurements included body composition, countermovement jump (CMJ), isometric leg extension peak torque (IPT) and rate of torque development (RTD), 5-step long-jump, 0–20 m linear sprint, T-half test, throwing velocity, and 1RM in bench press and squat. No significant difference was found for body composition between SG and WG (p > 0.05). However, SG had significantly higher CMJ height (21.5%, p = 0.002), IPT (22.4%, p = 0.008), RTD relative to body mass (p < 0.05), 5-step long jump (10.9%, p = 0.005), lower 0–20 linear sprint (−6.3%, p = 0.012), lower T-half test time trial (−7.3%, p = 0.001), and higher throwing velocity compared with WG (p < 0.05). When all players included in one group, large to very large correlations were found between 1RM strength and IPT with fat-free mass (r = 0.518–0.774) and throwing velocity (r = 0.472–0.819). Very large correlations were found between RTD with fat-free mass (r = 0.760) and throwing velocity (r = 0.780–0.835). Stronger players have greater performance in all handball-fitness attributes compared with their weaker counterparts. The significant correlations between handball-specific fitness elements with strength and RTD suggest that strength training is essential for handball players as it may link to higher on court performance.
Visualizando el género en la Historia del Arte. El siglo XVIII español como caso de estudio
Authors: Molina Martín Álvaro
Published: December 2023

Los estudios visuales y de género constituyen dos metodologías que, a pesar de su consolidación en el ámbito internacional, todavía encuentran claras resistencias en los discursos de la Historia del Arte en España. Considerando los primeros como un modelo de pensamiento de la práctica visual en sus más amplias y diversas acepciones, y los segundos como todas aquellas experiencias culturales que definen los significados de hombre y mujer a partir de su diferencia sexual, ambas metodologías son herramientas de análisis crítico enormemente útiles para abrir nuevas vías de interpretación en el conocimiento de la cultura visual del siglo XVIII en España.

Retratos infantiles en el reinado de Felipe II y Margarita de Austria: entre el afecto y la política
Authors: COBO DELGADO GEMMA
Published: December 2023

Los retratos de los miembros más jóvenes de la familia real tuvieron un gran protagonismo dentro del conjunto total del retrato cortesano de la época moderna en cuanto a consumo y producción. Así se refleja en la documentación del reinado de Felipe III y Margarita de Austria, quienes se encargaron de configurar una imagen apropiada de sus ocho hijos desde los primeros meses de sus vidas. Los retratos realizados durante el periodo de lactancia tuvieron fundamentalmente un uso familiar; sin embargo, la imagen que proyectan de los niños está sujeta a las fórmulas propias del retrato oficial que tiene como fin último mostrar la majestad regia.

Góngora: atracción y aversión de la vanguardia española
Authors: Molina Barea María del Carmen
Published: December 2023

El presente trabajo se propone indagar en la ambigua influencia que ejerce Luis de Góngora sobre los jóvenes artistas españoles de las primeras décadas del siglo XX, quienes al mismo tiempo admiran y repudian la obra del poeta áureo. Así, por un lado se pretende articular un análisis pormenorizado de los motivos que condujeron al reconocimiento de Góngora, y por otro, abordar un estudio detallado de las razones que llevaron a criticarlo y desdeñarlo. Con el fin de profundizar en dicha bipolaridad se prestará especial atención a la corriente surrealista y otras filiales de vanguardia, que difieren de la coetánea Generación del 27, la cual secunda sin reservas la revalorización del autor cordobés. No obstante, en este artículo se aspira a superar la prejuiciada dicotomía “Generación del 27 vs.Vanguardias” con objeto de evaluar fielmente la imbricación de tendencias artísticas en cuyo contexto irrumpe el fenómeno gongorino.

Authors: Chakraborty Praloy , Farhat Kassem , Morris Lynsie , Whyte Seabrook , Yu Xichun , Stavrakis Stavros
Published: December 2023

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a chronic debilitating condition of orthostatic intolerance, predominantly affecting young females. Other than postural tachycardia, symptoms of POTS include a spectrum of non-cardiac, systemic and neuropsychiatric features. Despite the availability of widespread pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic options, the management of POTS remains challenging. Exaggerated parasympathetic withdrawal and sympathetic overdrive during postural stress are principal mechanisms of postural tachycardia in POTS. Non-invasive, transcutaneous, vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is known to restore sympathovagal balance and is emerging as a novel therapeutic strategy in cardiovascular conditions including arrhythmias and heart failure. Furthermore, tVNS also exerts immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. This review explores the effects of tVNS on the pathophysiology of POTS and its potential as an alternative non-pharmacological option in this condition.
Species diversity and spatial distribution of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) from La Isla Amazon Park, Napo Province, Ecuador
Authors: Jacome Linda , Liria Jonathan , Wilkerson Richard
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Vector-borne diseases are prevalent in the Amazon and Coastal regions of Ecuador. However, there is a scarcity of mosquito ecology studies in these areas. The most recent list of species reported for the country comprises 8 tribes, 22 genera, and 200 species. Objectives: To document the Culicidae species found in La Isla Amazon Park, Napo, Ecuador, including those with epidemiological significance; and to analyze their composition, abundance, and diversity, focusing on larval habitats during the dry and rainy periods. Methods: We evaluated different larval habitats, considering collection duration as the primary criterion. We used CDC and Shannon traps to collect adult mosquitoes during both rainy and dry periods. To assess sampling effort, we used accumulation curves and non-parametric estimators of species richness, while we employed Hill numbers to determine diversity. Additionally, we used the Berger-Parker and Pielou indices to evaluate species dominance and evenness. We conducted cluster analysis and ANOSIM tests to assess the similarity between habitats and the differences in taxonomic composition between periods. Results: We collected a total of 802 individuals from 15 species and 4 taxonomic units, 5 genera, and 4 tribes. Notably, this may be the first records of Wyeomyia felicia Dyar & Núñez Tovar and Culex derivator Dyar & Knab from Ecuador. Additionally, the presence of Culex dunni Dyar and Psorophora ferox von Humboldt (both recognized as vectors) was correlated with increased rainfall. Conclusions: The abundance of mosquitoes, including potential vector species, increased during the rainy season, indicating a higher risk of pathogen transmission. However, the relationship between rainfall amount and diversity patterns is not well-defined.

Published: December 2023

We aimed to assess the usefulness of monitoring inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 4 (ITIH4) and haptoglobin (Hp) in peripheral and local blood in canine pyometra, and evaluation the relationships among acute phase proteins (APPs), systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and the presence of bacteria. The material was collected from bitches with pyometra and from healthy ones. Blood was taken from the cephalic and uterine veins. APPs levels were quantified by ELISA. In the peripheral circulation, the Hp was higher in animals with open-cervix pyometra (OCP) than in the closed-cervix pyometra (CCP) and the control group. The Hp concentration was not correlated with age, with the presence of SIRS or with the type of bacteria (Gram-negative, Gram-positive or mixed flora). The ITIH4 concentrations in the peripheral blood did not differ significantly in the cases of pyometra. The Hp concentration in the local circulation increased in the OCP but not in the CCP groups, although the histopathological changes in the endometrium were similar. Peripheral Hp concentrations may be a useful tool in differentiating between the types of pyometra.

Mechanical jaundice usually refers to a symptom complex that occurs when the outflow of bile through the bile ducts of the liver is disturbed. This disease is an indication for stenting. Unfortunately, over time, physicians have noted a number of disadvantages of endobiliary stenting, the main of which has been the manifestation of restenosis. Also, within the first few hours of completing the stenting procedure, there may be a risk of serious complications such as thrombosis and restenosis. To reduce the risks of such complications as well as to improve the future results of the operation, stents with special drug coatings have started to be used. To ensure local transportation, quality application of the drug substance on the surface of the biliary stent, and prolonged drug release, it is necessary to create a polymeric carrier complex. This article considers the possibility of creating an ultrathin drug coating for biliary stents. The article also presents theoretical calculations of the interaction of complexes of carrier polymers and the copolymer “polylactic acid/polycaprolactone” modified by carbon nanotubes. This coating is proposed to improve biocompatibility during endobiliary stenting.

Determination of the electrophysical properties of materials is relevant to many areas of human activity. Methods, approaches and devices are improving, the use of which makes it possible to estimate the electrophysical properties of liquids depending on different parameters. This work presents the analysis of the electrical parameters of liquids with different chemical composition in a coaxial cell in a wide frequency range when the temperature changes. The analysis is based on the S-parameters of liquids measured with a vector circuit analyzer in the frequency range up to 12 GHz, placed inside the coaxial cell, which temperature is set by the heat-cold chamber in the range from 0 to 50 °C. The changes in frequency dependences of liquids S-parameters detected using the above approach indicate their characteristic features occurring at certain frequencies. To investigate the influence of liquids temperature on changes in their electrophysical parameters, we have applied the method of principal components. This method has revealed the relationship between chemical composition of liquids and their representation in the space of principal components.

Published: December 2023

The paper presents algorithms for identifying signals and determining the threshold of false identification based on the integral bispectrum conversion and the Euclidean distance calculation. The analytical calculation of statistical characteristics in the form of the average probability of identification error, identification error of a known signal and a new signal is carried out. The advantages of bispectral signal conversion over spectral power density in identifying signals with their strong mutual correlation (from 0.5 to 0.9) are shown. Mathematical and computer modeling of the signal identification procedure and the optimal threshold for determining a new signal is performed. The simulation results confirmed the coincidence with the theoretical values of the probability of signal identification error.
Overexpression of Homeobox A1 Relieves Ovalbumin-Induced Asthma in Mice and Is Associated with Blocking of the NF-κB Signaling Pathway
Authors: Yang Jianye , Hu Wenbin , Zhao Jiaming
Published: December 2023

Homeobox A1 (HOXA1) is a protein coding gene involved in regulating immunity signaling. This study aims to explore the function and mechanism of HOXA1 in asthma. An asthma mouse model was established via ovalbumin (OVA) induction. Airway hyperresponsiveness was evaluated by the value of pause enhancement (Penh). Inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were detected by Trypan blue and Wright staining. The pathological morphology of lung tissues was assessed by H&E staining. The IgE and inflammatory biomarkers (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, and TNF-α) in BALF and lung tissues were measured by ELISA. Western blot was performed to detect the expression of NF-κB pathway-related proteins. HOXA1 was down-regulated in OVA-induced asthmatic mice. Overexpression of HOXA1 decreased Penh and relieved pathological injury of lung tissues in OVA-induced mice. Overexpression of HOXA1 also reduced the numbers of total cells, leukocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes, as well as the levels of IgE, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, and TNF-α in BALF of OVA-induced mice. The inflammatory biomarkers were also decreased in lung tissues by HOXA1 overexpression. In addition, HOXA1 overexpression blocked the NF-κB signaling pathway in OVA-induced mice. Overexpression of HOXA1 relieved OVA-induced asthma in female mice, which is associated with the blocking of the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Published: December 2023

Easy access to energy is significant to the socioeconomic development of any nation. In almost every nation of the world, microenterprises account for the majority of businesses and play a key role in developing economies. However, they are faced with greater financing obstacles as they enjoy less access to electricity and external finance and face higher transaction costs for smooth business operation. This study investigates the relationship between electricity access and financing for microenterprises in Ibadan metropolis using a survey methodology approach. The mono method, which employs quantitative data and data analysis procedure, was used to determine the level of access of microenterprises to electricity, their willingness to subscribe to renewable energy technologies, and access credit facilities to ensure reliable access to electricity. From the findings, it is revealed that the existing level of electricity access experienced by the majority of
microenterprises is considerably low and significantly influences their decision to subscribe to a renewable energy technology, while the availability of credit facilities for the sole purchase of the technologies and the availability of electricity when needed at any point in time (as a result of the storage component of the technology) significantly influences their willingness to subscribe to the
technology. Furthermore, from the result of the findings, an energy finance model showing the interrelationship existing among microenterprises, financial institutions, and energy providers is developed to improve reliable access to electricity and promote the usage of efficient energy appliances by microenterprises.
Effect of additive compounding on early properties of belite sulfoaluminate cement
Authors: Fu Juan , Hu Baorui , Guo Wei , Hu Yueyang , Jiang Cuifeng
Published: December 2023

Belite sulfoaluminate cement is attracting increasing attention and being considered as a potential alternative to ordinary Portland cement owing to lower preparation temperature and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission. However, it still has disadvantages of poor workability and low early strength. This study investigated the effects of compound polycarboxylate superplasticiser (PCE) and early strength agent, calcium nitrite (Ca(NO2)2), on flowability and early strength of belite calcium sulfoaluminate (BCSA) cement. Variation patterns of setting time, fluidity, strength and polycarboxylate superplasticiser (PCE) adsorption of the paste were measured; the hydration products and microscopic morphology were also analysed by the heat of hydration, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that calcium nitrite effectively enhanced adsorption of PCE onto the surface of BCSA cement particles, leading to notable improvement in the fluidity of the paste (reaching up to 275 mm). In the initial hydration stage, 0.7% PCE compounded with 1.2% calcium nitrite inhibited the formation of ettringite (AFt), resulting in prolonged setting time. However, it deepened the degree of hydration of BCSA for 3 days and refined the hydration product, AFt crystals. Consequently, the compressive strength was increased to 95.75 MPa and 107.13 MPa for BCSA cement at 3 days and 28 days, respectively.

Published: December 2023

This study is a systematic investigation of superplasticiser (SP) addition methods and optimum SP dosage with various water-to-binder ratios (w/b) for mixing three-dimensional printable concrete. In this study, five distinct strategies were adopted to arrive at the optimum method of addition. In the first strategy, a random mixing approach was applied to identify, through visual observation, methods for adding SP with varying time patterns. Secondly, a constant time pattern was adopted from the random approach for mixing and the optimal SP dosage was determined. In the third strategy, different methods of adding the optimum SP dosage were examined. In the fourth strategy, the batching effect of the material with the optimum SP dosage was assessed. Finally, the printable regions with different values of w/b and SP dosages were correlated. It was observed that the optimum SP dosage, in the range of 0.10–0.21% of binder, with w/b = 0.21–0.25 achieved adequate printability parameters by full addition of SP following a constant wet mixing time as the optimal application. However, after applying the optimum SP dosage, a supplemental SP dosage is required at appropriate intervals to retain the workability for higher batches.
PHENOMENOLOGICAL VERSION OF THE ANCIENT GREEK PHENOMENON OF "ZANS" IN THE ASPECT OF AESTHETIC NTHROPOLOGY
Authors:   Tyumen State University, Shcherbinin Mikhail N. , Suvorova Lyudmila G. ,   Tyumen State University
Published: December 2023

The article is based on the interpretation of the sculptural images of Zeus in the stadium, which reminded of the dishonesty of some athletes and their patrons. It is argued that in Zan the transition from moral values to aesthetic values is car-ried out by creating a counter-image, the literal is refracted into figurative and even figurative. The article deals with the "cross" dialectics of theater and sports. It is shown that sport, as a form of collective excitement and rivalry, continues to play an important role in the life of society, in contrast to the theater, in which there is no collective excitement and the audience can only be touched by the contempla-tion of a purely “individual” misfortune. Sports competitions have lost touch with the original idea of peace and unity, and have become the object of political ma-nipulation and propaganda. The article connects the phenomenon of guilt with the logic of the meaning of J. Deleuze, it is argued that outside the aesthetic unconscious, sensual visibility of harmony and beauty, the phenomenon of guilt was not perceived. The image of the Motherland on the Mamaev Kurgan is analyzed as a symbol of Victory, and the sculptural image of a soldier as a sacrificial barrier of the sacred. The contra-dictory unity of the corporal and spiritual is described. It is noted that the mathe-matically calculated punishment in "zan" transforms the symbolic into figurative, literalism into proportions and symmetry, and thus contributes to the creation of a semantic image.
ATOMISM, «SUMMA THEOLOGICA» AND B. LIBET’S EXPERIMENTS:CONTRADICTIONS IN SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM OF THE SUBJECT’S FREE WILL
Authors:   Perm State University, Vorobieva Kristina V.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the contradictions that arise when solving the problem of the subject’s freewill. A thesis is put forward that these contradictions are caused by the discrepancy between the views on free will and the ontological foundations from which they are derived. This thesis is consistently proved on the basis of both the historical and philosophical material and the modern discussion that unfolded after the discoveries of B. Libet and his followers. An analysis of the ideas of Thomas Aquinas reveals a num-ber of insurmountable contradictions indicating the impossibility of combining the free will of a subject and the theological principle of providentialism. The approaches of the philosophers of the Renaissance and the New Age to the indicated problem are considered, these being associated with an attempt to over-come this contradiction and again turn philosophical thought to natural philosophy. The dialectical ap-proach of Immanuel Kant is presented as taking a certain step toward resolving the contradictions through linking free will with the concept of morality and duty. The philosophical interpretation of B.Libet’s ex-periments is analyzed and the idea of conscious decisions of a person as determined by the activity of his neurons is refuted. Such an erroneous thesis is derived from the «flat ontology»paradigm. The popularity of this approach is due to the difficulty in resolving the psychophysiological problem and the lack of un-derstanding of the mechanisms for the transition of biologically determined processes of the material sub-strate to the field of the ideal. The groundlessness of sucha conclusion is explained by biological reduc-tion and the vulgar materialistic approach of modern authors, similar to the ideas of Democritus or Epicu-rus, who derived free will from the movement of atoms. All the examples considered in the article clearly demonstrate the fallacy of attempts to derive free will or its absence from something external to a person. The thesis that free will must be immanently inherent in man is substantiated. To solve the problem of free will, it is necessary not only to rely on the data of scientific discoveries but also to approach their interpretation dialectically.
SOCIO-ANTHROPOLOGICAL ASPECT OF K.N. LEONTIEV’S CONCEPT
Authors:   Kemerovo State Institute of Culture, Filin Dmitriy A.
Published: December 2023

Konstantin Nikolayevich Leontiev was a philosopher of a particular mentality. Aesthetics was the dominant of his work. Love for life, for the world of the beautiful was Leontiev’s fundamental intuition. For the philosopher, the aesthetical criterion was an all-embracing base for assessment of the being. However, the pure aesthetics of nature is not given much attention in his works. Unlike Vladimir Solovyov, Leontiev does not have a single special work devoted to the beauty of nature. In his fiction works, thedescriptions of nature occupy relatively small space. Partly it can be explained by Leontiev’s maximalism and also by his love for antitheses. He does not want to write a lot about the subject which it is impossible, in his opinion, to say something new about. Sometimes the images of nature in Leontiev’s fiction works are symbols of the social being, of his heroes’ inner world. Remarkably, a number of Leontiev’s works begin with landscape descrip-tions. The philosopher evidently prefers dynamically revealing images of the beautiful. In general, this world is impossible for him without the struggle of opposites. The antihumanism of means aimed at sup-porting the blossoming of the being is «counterbalanced» in Leontiev’s aesthetics by the acceptance of their necessity for maintaining the natural variety of the forms and colors of the world. Thus, the socio-anthropological aspects have a special place in Leontiev’s works. They predominate over the aesthetics of nature. The latter is associated with the former. Both are conceived by the philosopher in the context of the cosmic whole.Leontiev writes a lot about the sensory beauty of the world but not about God’s beauty perceived by intellect. He particularly appreciates bright and complicated phenomena of the being.

The study of altered states of consciousness as a group of similar phenomena began about 60 years ago, and is now a significant part of contemporary studies of consciousness. Since the definition of conscious-ness remains a problem for modern science, this article raises the question of how to understand altered states of consciousness (ASC) without solving the problem of consciousness itself. This understanding becomes possible via the problematization of the philosophical concept of ASC: do we use it to describe one phenomenon, a group of similar, or rather different phenomena? In other words, the question is whether the concept of altered states of consciousness is just an «umbrella concept»or all these states have something in common. Answers to these questions could be found through searching for key charac-teristics that are common to all conditions related to altered states of consciousness. To solve this prob-lem, we provide two possible solutions: 1)to findand examine the parameter characterizing ASC in terms of their novelty and uniqueness; 2)to find characteristics common to different ASC in their descrip-tions taken from various theories. The first solution involves using the data on the orienting reflex, while the second way leads us to distinguishing at least three parameters: 1)emotional evaluation, 2)activation, and 3)the content and structure of speech. These solutions could be verified empirically, and future re-search is expected to broaden our knowledge about altered states of consciousness.

The article presents and develops a system-integrative approach in relation to the holistic cognition of the individuality of a student as a subject of education. It develops, on the one hand, Merlin’s theory of inte-gral individuality and, on the other hand, the system approach in terms of its application in pedagogical practice. It is proposed to consider the interaction of the systems of a subject, integral individuality, and cognition as a polysystem. In this model, a subject is understood as an active entity whose manifestations are externally observable and can be recognized by others. Integral individuality is a self-developing and self-regulating system consistingof relatively closed subsystems (levels) of the integral large system «man –society». Cognition is studied in the aspect of pedagogical cognition of a student, which inte-grates the structures of the student’s self-cognition and the teacher’s or parent’s reflective knowledge in the interaction with this student. It is possible to talk about holistic cognition of a student’s individuality when his integral individuality becomes an object of cognition on the part of a teacher, parent, and the student himself. The novelty and theoretical significance of the work are determined by the fact that it fits into the currently developing area of psychological science: the development of tools for psychodiagnos-tic research that are in demand in pedagogical and social practice. The practical significance lies in the fact that it opens up the way for the development of new programs and technologies of human cognition.

Bu çalışmada açık ve kapalı kaynak kodlu işletim sistemleri ve programlar değerlendirilmektedir. Bu kapsamda açık kaynak kodlu-Jamovi ve kapalı kaynak kodlu-SPSS istatistiksel yazılımları karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiştir. Açık kaynak kodlu işletim sistemleri ve istatistiksel yazılımlar daha şeffaf ve ücretsiz olsalar da araştırmalarda kapalı kaynak kodlu işletim sistemleri ve yazılımların egemen olduğu görülmektedir. Bilim insanları her zaman araştırmalarında şeffaflık, bağımsızlık ve tarafsızlığı savunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, işletim sistemlerinin ve istatistiksel yazılımlarının seçiminde şeffaflığı ve tarafsızlığı göz ardı edebilmektedirler.

İnsanların İstanbul şehrine seyahat etme arzusu oldukça eski zamanlara dayanır. Dünyanın diğer bölgelerinde yaşayan insanlar için İstanbul her zaman Doğu’nun mistik başşehri olmuştur. 19. yüzyıla gelindiğinde ulaşım araçlarının gelişmesi seyahat imkânlarının artmasına ve çeşitlenmesine sebep olmuştur. Klasik usul gemi, araba ve hayvanlarla yapılan ticaret ve turizm faaliyetleri şimendiferin (tren) ve buharlı gemilerin icadıyla konforlu ve değişik bir boyut kazanmıştır. Klasik dönemde hem zahmetli hem de tehlikeli olan yolculuklar daha kolay ve güvenli hale gelmiştir. Bu da insanların farklı yerleri görme arzu ve isteklerini arttırmıştır. Ayrıca modernleşme öncesi belli bir zenginliğe sahip insanların seyahat etmesi mümkün iken 19. yüzyılın ortalarından itibaren seyahat imkânlarının artması ve şehirlere yayılması halkın da bu seyahatlere iştirak etmesini sağlamıştır. Bu gezilerden birisi de Adana Darülmuallimin Mektebi öğrenci ve öğretmenlerinin 1914 yılı yaz aylarında yaptıkları İstanbul seyahatidir. Bu yazıda Osmanlı Arşivi’nden çevrimiçi tarama yoluyla temin edilen belgelerde geçen bu okulun öğrenci ve öğretmenlerinin İstanbul gezi programı tanıtılmıştır.

The analysis of the main indicators in the field of economic security indicates a close relationship between external and internal threats, where external threats can be considered in some cases as a source of internal formation, which objectively increases the importance of strengthening national policies to ensure the protection of the economy from external influences. The research analyzed general directions of the influence of external threats on the domestic economy - such as high dependence of the national economy on unfriendly countries, the strengthening of foreign economic pressure on Russia, the attempts to destabilize the domestic economic situation through the termination of economic management, capital outflow, and pressure on others. We examined operational statistical data, conducted qualitative and quantitative analysis, and proposed measures to mitigate the impact of external threats with clarification of long-term prospects for the development of economic security.

After the collapse of the USSR, Russia regained its sovereignty and embarked on the path of building a democratic (capitalist) state with a market economy. At the same time, the country's economy to this day (more than 30 years) is characterized as a transitional one, with an unstable national currency and financial system. The article substantiates the role of finance in the geopolitical transformation of the world economy in the context of deepening crisis phenomena, increased competition and contradictions in the global market in connection with the geo-economic redistribution of the world, the strengthening of the Western countries, primarily the United States and Great Britain, of a hybrid war against Russia and the organization of a proxy war through Ukraine. These circumstances lead to the need for the state to move from an ultra-liberal model of economic management to a planned-market, result-oriented, import substitution, economic growth (above the world level) based on the modernization of production. This requires increasing the powers of the state in the management of reproductive processes, sets the task of a deep theoretical understanding of the problems of financial security including in the aspect of transformation of management to unconditionally ensure the sovereignty of the country, its national and economic security. In this regard, it is necessary to restructure the system of state institutions to ensure the formation and implementation of large-scale modernization projects in the medium and long term on a scientific basis; stable economic growth; increasing the competitiveness of Russia, taking into account the growing uncertainty of economic relations between countries; spread of digital technologies. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the historical world and domestic experience in the development of production processes.
