Authors: Hoi Nguyen Chu
Published: July 2023

Viet Nam has an advantages and potentials for fisheries economy development and fisheries activities links  closely to local community life. In the past innovated 20 years, the sector has reached to important achievements: It has been changed into a key production sector with high economic contribution; multi-class  economic component with oriented-market mechanism and contributed to poverty reduction in rural areas … However, the sector is facing with a lot of challenges in the way to sustainable development (SO): Aquatic  environments have been polluted and degraded more and more, increased diseases in aquaculture, loss of aquatic biodiversity, over-exploitation in some water bodies (especially in near-shore), destroyed relevant  ecosystems/habitats, livelihoods of the local people still not improved, fisheries management is limited in  term of policy and human qualification, the issues “fishers, fisheries and fishing ground” are still not  addressed, economic effects and competition of the fishery products are not strong and un-stained. Therefore, development of a Strategic Direcrions of Sustainable Development for Fisheries Sector in Vietnam (Draft of Agenda-21 for Fisheries Sector) has been drafted under guiding by Ministry of Fisheries.  The Agenda includes main aspects as following: conceptions of SO and sustainable fisheries in context of Vietnam; main achievements of the fisheries sector in the past 20 years and challenges/obstacles; Vietnam  future of fisheries and global fisheries outlook; SD goals for fisheries, guiding principles, strategic directions and priorities: and integration of SD of fisheries in annually/5 years investment projects and planning. The paper only presents about main aspects of the Agenda 21 for Fisheries Sector.

Published: July 2023

Indonesia as a country that has the largest Muslim population in the world makes it a very large waqf potential. However, the development of productive waqf is still not massive, one of which is Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk. This is due to a lack of religious knowledge, access to information media, or studies on productive waqf and public awareness for waqf. In addition, the domination of public perceptions of traditional waqf is also an obstacle in the development of CWLS instruments. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of religiosity, perception, income, and access to information media on the intention of waqf people in Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk in the City of Surabaya. This research method uses a quantitative approach with primary data in the form of questionnaires distributed to 168 respondents who meet the criteria. The sampling technique used is probability sampling by determining individual samples by accidental sampling. The data analysis technique in this study used multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the regression test, it shows that the variables of religiosity, perception, and income have a positive and significant effect on the intention to waqf in CWLS. While the information media access variable has no positive and significant effect on waqf intentions in CWLS. Based on the f test, it shows that the five independent variables jointly affect the dependent variable with f count > f table (40.176 > 2.43) with a significance value (0.000 <0.05). The coefficient of determination test shows that 49.6% of the independent variables can influence the dependent variable, while the rest are influenced by other variables.

Published: July 2023

Research on the topic of illegal abortion is quite a concern, but more discussed macro in a legal point of view and health policy. Micro-analysis with a similar topic has been conducted on a limited basis with the background of the issue of illegality which cannot prevent abortion behavior. This study aims to analyze the scientific literature to find general trends and analyze indicators related to the topic of behavior from illegal abortion practices around the world. This paper uses a bibliometric methodology, utilizing data taken from the Scopus database from 1968 to 2021, and visualizing the data using the VOSviewer. 310 papers from different nations were uncovered in the investigation. When the study's findings are compared to the total number of citations and related publications, it becomes clear that the United States and the United Kingdom continue to dominate research on illegal abortion activity. The great majority of articles on this topic are mostly in the social science sector. By identifying keywords, it can be seen that the majority of research topics continue to center on large-scale issues including abortion, contraception, and unsafe abortion. This study enables us to define unlawful abortion in an individual setting as the behavior a person engages in when deciding to abort a pregnancy, regardless of whether it is carried out by themself, another person, medical professional, health workers, health facilities, or by other parties that deviate from the abortion laws that are in effect in the nation. This study offers crucial conclusions and suggestions for future thematic research opportunities that are sustainable.

Five male sterile AxB combinations involving alternate B lines (81A x 3383B, 81A x pb 305 B, 3383A x 81B, pb 302A x pb 305B, pb 403A x pb 405B) were chosen and nine altered A lines were developed by transferring the genome of alternate B lines at 50 per cent and 75 per cent levels. Studies on the altered A lines indicated the possibility of altering the morphological expression of a A line by changing B lines. The differences between the original A lines and altered A lines were found to be significant. This may be due to the interaction of the genome of the alternate B line with the genome of original A line. For example, the altered A lines of 81A flowered earlier than the original A line and the difference was significant (81A x 3383B). The choice of appropriate b lines for altering A lines appeared to be very important: Transfer of genome from one B line to another A line at 50 per cent level appeared to be effective in improving the morphological expression and thus F1 sterile lines could be profitably utilised in developing three-way crosses.

Corrosion Study of the Injection Equipments in Water in Al-Ahdeb Wells ‐Iraq
Authors: Alsaadi Hassan Abdulkadhim Alwan
Published: July 2023

Water injection equipments such as pipelines, which are used in the second recovery of oil in the Al-Ahdeb wells, suffer from the corrosion in water during maintaining vacuum deoxygenated tower that used to decrease concentration of the dissolved oxygen gas in the water from 6.2-9.1 ppm to o.5 ppm. This study involved calculation the corrosion rates of the internal surfaces of the pipelines either during operation of the vacuum unit or when the tower out of operation.  Finally, find the solution by one of the following suggestions. In the first suggestion removal of the dissolved O2 from water is achieved by increasing the dosage of the oxygen scavenger (sodium sulphite). The second suggestion involves removing the dissolved O2 from water by bubbling the oxygenated water with nitrogen gas. The study showed that the corrosion rates of various inside diameter pipelines are between 0.13 mm/yr and 1.5 mm/yr during operation of the vacuum tower and between 3.2 mm/yr  and 18.5 mm/yr when the tower out of the operation. While the results showed that the corrosion rate of the pipelines when the tower out of operation reached to the acceptable value of 0.1 mm/y when the dissolved oxygen in the injected water removed by increasing the dosage of the sodium sulphite (Na2SO3) to 48-72 ppm. The results also explained that corrosion rates of the pipelines reached to 0.5 mm/y when the dissolved oxygen removed by bubbling the water with nitrogen gas.

Gypseous soils are distributed in many regions in the world including Iraq, which cover more than (31%) of the surface area of the country. Existence of these soils, always with high gypsum content, caused difficult problems to the buildings and strategic projects due to dissolution and leaching of the gypsum caused by the action of water flow through soil mass. For the study, the gypseous soil was brought from Bahr Al-Najaf, Al-Najaf Governorate which is located in the middle of Iraq. The model pile was embedded in gypseous soil with 42% gypsum content. Compression axial model pile load tests have been carried out for model pile embedded in gypseous soil at initial degree of saturation of (7%) before and after soil saturation. Several criteria have been used to calculate the bearing capacity of the model bored pile through the results of the pile load tests. It was found that Shen's method gave almost an acceptable result for all model pile load tests. Large draw down in bearing capacity was observed when model pile has been loaded after it was subjected to soaking for (24) hours because of loss of cementing action of gypsum by wetting.

Published: July 2023

This paper presents a numerical analysis using ANSYS finite element program to simulate the reinforced concrete slabs with spherical voids. Six full-scale one way bubbled slabs of (3000mm) length with rectangular cross-sectional area of (460mm) width and (150mm) depth are tested as simply supported under two-concentrated load. The results of the finite element model are presented and compared with the experimental data of the tested slabs. Material nonlinearities due to cracking and crushing of concrete and yielding of reinforcement are considered. The general behavior of the finite element models represented by the load-deflection curves at midspan, crack pattern, ultimate load, load-concrete strain curves and failure modes shows good agreement with the experimental data.
Improving the productivity of single effect double slope solar still by modification simple
Authors: Alawee Wissam H.
Published: July 2023

The present paper is an experimental study to improve the productivity of the conventional solar still. This done by modifying conventional still in a way that the distilled basin is larger than distillation basin, thus providing an increase in the condensation surface and speeding up the condensation process. Moreover, increase in the dimensions of the distilled base helps coupling reflective panels to the distilled base to reflect incident solar radiation to the distillation basin. For this purpose , two solar stills were made, one conventional designand another made according to the proposed design. The two solar stills were tested during the period from February to July 2009 under varying weather conditions of Basra, Iraq (latitude of 33.33 and longitude of 44.43). Experimental results showed that the modified still gives about 18%-24% higher distillate than the conventional still for the same basin condition.

Impact of buildings in Iraq and other countries on the environment is obvious; this problem began to take scientific and humanitarian dimensions in order to reduce and eliminate this problem. This impact can be seen through the energy, water and raw materials consumed for the establishment, operation and maintenance of these buildings, as well as the emissions of hazardous gases and generations of solid wastes.

This work was conducted to assess the current maintenance managerial practice for the governmental buildings to stand on the main obstacle and extrapolation of measures by means of interviews with experts to determine the effective factors and closed questionnaire to state the features and the need for new building maintenance management system which may assist for modeling new building maintenance management system which may help to reduce the deterioration levels of governmental buildings and the emission of hazardous gases and solid waste with cost efficient approach.
Some questions of historical metrology of the Balkars and Karachays
Authors:   Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after H.M. Berbekov, Elena G. Muratova
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the study of some issues of historical metrology of the Karachay-Balkars, inextricably linked with their economic activity, which occurred in the mountainous conditions of the Central Caucasus. This article contains examples of used length, volume and square measure-ment units in the Karachay-Balkars’ traditional metrology, found in historical records. It is shown that it is necessary to start research on the socio-economic history of Balkaria in the 19th century from the study of historical metrology. The system of weights and measures was necessary for a clear regulation of feudal duties, “payment for blood” and wedding payments. But firstly, it was determined by the specifics of the economic activity of the people. The most common way to measure volume was to determine it through the capacity of a vessel. The name of the vessel was transferred to the name of the measure. Volumetric and ap-proximate units of measurement were widely used: “cart”, “arba”. Mountainous relief determined the use of such length measurement units as the distance of “hearing one cry” or “accessible to human vision.” The measure of the area of the land plot was or the labor costs for cultivating the land, or the volume of grain sown, or the volume of the harvest. The most commonly used crop measure was the mountain shock, «gorskaya kopna». This metric gradually obtained a meaning associated with the tithe. Mowed lands were estimated by the volume of hay harvested, and pas-tures by the number of livestock that could be kept on them.
Elements of postmodernism poetics in the Caucasian corpus of texts by M.Y. Lermontov
Authors:   Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after Kh.M. Berbekov, Marina V. Bitokova
Published: July 2023

Literature on such a trend as postmodernism in the second half of the twentieth century took a leading position. It captured the crisis of modern thought that was brought on by rapid advances in science and technology, as well as disillusionment with the notions of European humanism. The expression of the crisis, the cultural rift in literature, occurred mainly through the form of a literary work – its destruction, deliberate “wrongness”, the blurring of genre boundaries and the lack of clear structures. In addition, techniques such as imitation, stylization, literary play, and the use of simulacra come to the fore. Postmodern approval was difficult in Russia in the 20th century due to socialist realism in literature. The first postmodern novel in Russian is considered being “Pushkin House” by Andrey Bitov. However, back in 1840, a novel was published, which includes numerous techniques and principles, later attributed to the poetics of postmodernism: this is the “Hero of Our Time” by M.Y. Lermontov. He often depicted the worldview of a person in a crisis era in his works. Ele-ments of literary poetics, which will later be called postmodern, we find not only in the designated novel but also in the whole corpus of Lermontov’s texts: “Mtsyri”, “Demon”, the essay “Cauca-sian” and others related to the so-called Caucasian corpus of Lermontov’s texts. This article at-tempts to identify these elements, analyze the pragmatics of their use, and study the forms of lit-erary play used by Lermontov. The optics we have chosen – Lermontov’s Caucasian works – is not accidental: many re-searchers have noted that in his work (especially in later works) the topos of the Caucasus out-grows the role of romantic orientalist scenery and gives an artistic conflict additional depth and fullness, saturates with unexpected and vivid details.
Ethnocultural specificity of the image of a horse in the Kabardian and the Russian poetry
Authors:   Kabardino-Balkarian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Laura A. Tengizova
Published: July 2023

Among the key zoomorphic images in classical literature, the horse occupies a special place. In this article, a comparative analysis of the image of a horse in Russian and Kabardian poetry is per-formed. The results of a comparative analysis of the national-cultural specifics of the image of a horse based on the material of the Russian and Adyghe languages are presented, a variety of hip-pological motives related to issues of fatalism and freedom, ethics and aesthetics, as well as hu-man environmental consciousness are considered. Figurative comparisons of the horse in Kabard-ian and Russian poetry, regardless of their genetic relationship, contribute to the identification of similar and different features, especially their organization and functioning. The conclusion is made about the important role of the image of the horse in Russian and Kabardino-Circassian po-etry, since the horse is a long-time faithful companion of human life, it is a complex, multifaceted and not completely clear symbol.

Published: July 2023

This article is devoted to the history of the delegation sent by the Mountain Republic to France, to an international conference (1919). The delegation’s purpose is the obtainment of international recognition as an independent state. This study was conducted based on archival documents dis-covered by us in France. This paper throughly analyzes the name of the delegation, its composi-tion, and activities in Constantinople and Paris during the 1919-1920’s. The role of A.M. Chermo-yev and G. Bammat is revealed, and the struggle of the new North Caucasian leaders formed in emigration with the delegation of the Mountain Republic is studied. The author believes that the end of the delegation’s activity can be dated back to 1930. It has been determined that it played a significant role in shaping the socio-political ideology of the North Caucasian community in France, reinforcing the position of North Caucasians in the region's political sphere, and creating a new generation of North Caucasian politicians.
THREE STEPS NOVEL APPROACH : HARD MARGIN ENSEMBLE MACHINE LEARNING METHOD CLASSIFIES UNCERTAIN MEFV GENE VARIANTS
Authors: Alay Mustafa Tarik , Demir İbrahim , Kirişçi Murat
Published: July 2023

Introduction: The International Study Group for Systemic Autoinflammatory Diseases (INSAID) consensus criteria revealed that the clinical outcomes of more than half of the MEFV gene variants are uncertain. In this study, we estabilished a novel approach for more accurate classification of MEFV gene variants by using the optimal number of amino acid prediction scores and machine-learning algorithms. Our goal was to determine a more accurate classification of MEFV variants while also reducing the uncertainties.Material-Methods: We extracted variants of the MEFV gene from the infevers database ,and point mutations were included, others excluded from the study. We then determined the optimal number of in silico instruments for our model. On the training dataset, we implemented seven machine learning algorithms on MEFV gene variants with known clinical effects. We evaluated the effectiveness of our model in three steps: First, we performed machine-learning algorithms on the training dataset and implemented those with a prediction accuracy of greater than 90 percent. Second, we compared our prediction results to existing algorithms and studies. Third, we evaluated our outcomes functional and clinical level.Results: We included 266 of 381 MEFV gene variants and four computational tools in a study. Our algorithm classified Likely pathogenic (LP) variants with an accuracy of 96.6% while classifying 97.6% of Likely Benign (LB) variants. Among the machine learning methods used to classify MEFV variants, our classification method yielded the most accurate results on training datasets. Most of the predictors classified LB variants with higher accuracy than 90% however, LP classification showed a wide range of variety in accuracy scores between 2% - 62.5%. Disease-causing MEFV variants are frequently located in domains. Functional and clinical level evaluation compatible with our classification results. Discussion: The comparison indicated that LP variant prediction is the biggest problem in variant classification, and our method might be a candidate for solving this problem with the 96.67% accuracy. Considering that 60% of the clinical effects of MEFV gene variants are unresolved, evaluating our methods in conjunction with the clinical manifestations of patients significantly simplifies the interpretation of unknown variants

The importance of social, emotional, and behavioural (SEB) skills is recognized worldwide, but their measurement has always been a challenge. The BESSI measures 32 SEB skills, divided into five domains (social engagement, cooperation, self-management, emotional resilience, and innovation), but its validity must be expanded to new languages and contexts. Across two studies (N1 = 990, N2 = 824) we developed the Italian version of the BESSI, provided further support for its convergent and discriminant validity with the Big Five, and expanded its nomological network to procrastination, self-efficacy, and emotion regulation. The BESSI-I showed excellent internal reliability and satisfactory fit indices at the facet, domain, and overarching framework level. We also confirmed the correlations between the SEB skills and the Big Five personality traits and found meaningful correlations with the selected external outcomes. Overall, we confirm that the BESSI-I is a valid and useful instrument to assess SEB skills for research and clinical purposes.
