The Russian Northern Fleet and the (Re)militarisation of the Arctic
Authors: Kjellén Jonas
Published: March 2022

Over the last decade, Russia has considerably ramped up its military presence in the Arctic. This is something that attracted much attention from Western countries, especially against the backdrop of deteriorated relations and general mistrust following the annexation of Crimea in 2014. Current developments are to some extent familiar, as they echo the militarisation of the Arctic during the Cold War and the attendant US-Soviet tensions. Although comparisons with the Soviet Union’s Arctic military posture lie close at hand, we need to analyse Russia’s current military build-up in the Arctic with fresh eyes. Two of the most indicative developments were studied. Firstly, the formation of a single Arctic military command, with its implications for a reassessment of the Arctic strategic direction; secondly, the physical expansion of its Arctic military footprint, which includes both the construction of modern facilities and the increased activity of its armed forces there. In both these developments, the Northern Fleet is taking on a leading role, but the overall military posture relies on other military and civilian actors as well, and is closely related to security concerns of the developing latitudinal axis of the Northern Sea Route, rather than the Cold War longitudinal axis of a massive nuclear weapons exchange.

Published: March 2022

The topic of this study is pedagogical research at Norwegian teacher education schools. The research question we ask is: How should, according to educationists, pedagogical research in teacher education be perceived? The purpose of the study is to provide a picture of the educationists’ opinions of problem areas and questions regarding pedagogical research. To map this, we use an exploratory mixed method, with a qualitative preliminary study and a quantitative main study. The theoretical framework describes the main features of the institutional development and perceptions of Norwegian pedagogical research and appears as a background for the analysis and discussion. The findings show individual differences among the educationists of our study concerning perceptions of pedagogy as a research field. We found no systematic variation between different educational institutions or background variables (gender, teaching or research experience). This implicates a discussion of pedagogic as research area in order to strengthen pedagogic as a scientific discipline.
Pedagogiken som vetenskap i Finland i ljuset av icke-affirmativ pedagogikteori
Authors: Uljens Michael
Published: March 2022

The article argues we need to interpret education in relation to general cultural and societal developments, exemplifying this by the developmental history and contemporary tensions in education as a discipline, in Finland. In international comparison, education in Finland has preserved a strong identity as a discipline, not reduced to “a field of research”. This autonomy has historical roots in how Bildung contributed to nation building in 19th century. The article reveals that recent interest in non-affirmative education theory had an early representative in J. V. Snellman (1806-1881). The connection is reestablishing, having been forgotten for during a century.
Pædagogik og/eller uddannelsesforskning og uddannelsesvidenskab? Danske konstellationer og spændinger
Authors: Kristensen Jens Erik
Published: March 2022

The first part and main part of this article describes the conflictual entry of two different interdisciplinary concepts of ‘educational research’ in Denmark during two periods including the specific tensions between these two concepts and the local established forms of pedagogical reserach: the entry during the 1970s of a new critical and sociological concept of educational research inspired by German neomarxism and ‘kritische Erziehungswissenschaft’, and the entry of the Anglo-American concept of ‘educational research’ around 2000 in the wake of the OECD’s National Review on Educational R & D in Denmark 2004. Unlike traditional pedagogical thinking and research these concepts are primarily geared towards a social scientific (sociological, economic, and political) understanding of education. The second part of the article is focused on the local reorganization of the field of educational research that occurred with the opening of the new Danish University of Education (Danmarks Pædagogiske Universitet) in 2000. It shows how and why the concept of educational sciences unlike Norway and Sweden did not occur in Denmark until 2010 and with a very limited diffusion in comparison to the concept of educational research. In the third and final part, the article discusses the problems in translating ‘education’ with ‘uddannelse’ in the Nordic languages and follows the semantic transformations of the Danish concept of ‘uddannelse’ during the last 50 years. It shows how it has become the cover term for all kinds of educational but also political, economic and managerial matters making it rather difficult to say what educational research and educational sciences are sciences of and all about.
Parapharyngeal Lipomas: A Literature Review and Surgical Management
Authors: Hesketh Patrick
Published: March 2022

Parapharyngeal space is a potential deep neck space extending between skull base and the hyoid bone. It is considered to be a rare site for neoplasms and it is even unusual to see Lipomas presenting in this space. Due to the proximity to skull base and presence of important structures in this space, surgical intervention can be complicated. An extensive literature review was carried out to comprehend the presenting features and management of this rare entity. Thirty-six reports/series were included presenting 37 patients between 15-83 years of age with a peak in 5th decade having lipoma in the parapharyngeal space/skull base region. The dimensions of these benign entities ranged between 3 cm to 16 cm. We present & discuss our experience with a large lipoma traversing parotid, submandibular and parapharyngeal spaces and its surgical management. We hope that this review and surgical principles presented will be helpful to the trainees and surgeons dealing with these entities.

Brake fluids lubricate dynamic seals in automotive brake systems. Depending on the fluid, such seals tend to show a stick-slip effect, which may cause disturbing squeal noises. In order to avoid such stick-slip-noise in future systems, it is required to characterize and rate the frictional behavior of different brake fluids in an appropriate way. This paper presents a tribometer test that enables to investigate the stick-slip-effect depending on the brake fluid. For an objective evaluation, an indicator value is introduced. Furthermore, this paper presents a dynamic friction model on basis of the Stribeck-curve that allows visualization and detailed investigation of the stick-slip-effect within finite element computation.

La aplicación del Índice de Rentabilidad Social en Comunicación (IRSCOM) permite describir el funcionamiento de los medios audiovisuales para corregir su funcionamiento y mejorar su calidad. A través de la revisión bibliográfico documental y la triangulación teórica, el presente artículo define categorías de análisis que pueden tomarse en cuenta para futuras investigaciones que apliquen IRSCOM en el contexto infocomunicacional de México. En ese país latinoamericano, la violencia contra periodistas, la ineficiencia regulatoria y los índices de concentración y privatización mediáticos afectan el trabajo de los medios en función del interés público.
ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACTS OF OIL PRICES ON NIGERIA ECONOMY USING COBB-DOUGLAS PRODUCTION FUNCTION
Authors: Garba Mohammed Kabir , Sikiru Aliu Omotayo
Published: March 2022

Fluctuations in oil prices have been a global issue over the years. Although many studies have been carried out the majority of those studies relating to oil prices focused more on its effects on oil-consuming nations than oil-producing ones. This study, however, examines the vulnerability of the economy of the oil-producing country to oil price changes using Nigeria being an OPEC member as a case study. The Cobb-Douglas production function was used to formulate the appropriate model that relates oil prices with the economy of Nigeria. However, the close to close (standard deviation) volatility method was used to measure the amount of variability in oil prices. Nevertheless, the perpetual inventory method was used to estimate the accumulated physical capital of Nigeria and the problems of multicollinearity inherent in the data were attenuated using ridge regression techniques as capital cannot be left out while dealing with production.

Winter wheat is one of the widespread crops in Ukraine. The search for methods to increase the yield and consumer properties of wheat, without compromising environmental safety, is one of the important scientific problems. The principles of precision agriculture point to the proper positioning of the seeds, recommending the method of “upward germination” (positioning the wheat germ vertically). The main objective of this study was to develop a new geometric model of wheat grain with a displaced centre of mass, as well as to conduct the theoretical research and numerical experiments on the orientation of grains using their multiple impact interaction with inclined surfaces. A new model of germ consisting of two different end semispheres and amid-line truncated cone was proposed, with a displaced centre of mass. Taking into account the physical properties of the objects, the concept of arrangement of gravity orientation of seeds in a stream was applied. This concept was based on various ratios of kinetic parameters of bodies with a displaced centre of gravity following an impact. The results showed that the orientation process can be controlled by changing the inclination angles and the length of the walls of the tray orientator within the working velocity range. This must be done before impact interaction of 0.2-0.3 m s−1 when the inclination angles of the impact interaction planes are 24-32°C.
Methodical Aspects of Soil Ecosystem Services Valuation

Ecosystem Services Valuation is an important tool for dialogue in the decision-making process and to highlight the society’s dependence on the biosphere for well-being. Soil is the primary source of ecosystem services such as the production of food and regulating the climate, however the methodological alternatives for valuing soil ecosystem services remain poorly studied. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate methodical aspects of ecosystem services valuation, with the special attention to soil services within agricultural context. We introduce frameworks specific for soil ecosystem services. Then, we present a case study where soil ecosystem services were evaluated within agricultural context. We conclude that such valuation represents the newest trend in soil science wherein soil resources are treated in the wider context of impacts on human well-being.
