Authors: Tanrıkulu Lokman , Başarır Fatma , Üstün Bilal
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine high school students' perceptions of the concept of inspiring foreign language teacher. Fifty-eight students studying at two different high schools within the Ministry of National Education in Nevşehir province participated in the study, which was designed with the phenomenological approach, one of the qualitative research methods. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview form and subjected to content analysis. In the coding done separately by the researchers, the agreement rate among the coders was calculated as 0.94. Research findings show that students mostly consider the concept of inspiring teacher in terms of teacher-student relations, followed by personal attributes, professional competencies and attitude towards the profession. Foreign language teachers, whom the participants consider inspiring, come to the fore firstly in terms of their professional competencies, then their personal attributes, teacher-student relations and attitudes towards the profession. The participants also stated that the foreign language teachers they consider inspiring had some impact on their language learning, personal and educational lives. The research findings were discussed in relation to the literature and suggestions were made to teacher educators, curriculum developers and researchers working on the subject.

Published: March 2024

Toplumsal sınıflar veya gruplar, gelir ve toplumsal statü ile ilişkili olmasının yanı sıra belli başlı hayat tarzı alışkanlıklarını ve kültürel tüketimini de içermektedir. Yine toplumsal sınıflar; benzer yatkınlıkları, pratikleri ve konumları çerçevesinde betimlenebilir. Diğer taraftan, gündelik hayatın bir boyutu olan sosyal ve kültürel sermaye, kültürel simgeleri, pratikleri ve sınıfsal ayrımları pekiştirmektedir. Sınıf koşullarında yaşanan farklılaşma yaşam tarzı ve kültürel tüketim boyutuyla ayrıma gider. Bourdieu’ye göre bu durum; lüks (refah) beğeni ve zorunlu beğeni karşıtlığında ortaya çıkar. Bu karşıtlık, statü ayrımına izin veren maddi koşullara sahip olan bireyler ile böyle bir lüksü veya refahı olmayanlar arasında cereyan eder. Bu temel tezden yola çıkarak çalışmada ‘kültürel tüketim ve hayat tarzı alışkanlıkları’ analiz edilir. İlk olarak, ileri sürülen tezle ilişkili olarak teorik bir tartışma yürütülür. Teorik çerçevenin ana hatlarını, Pierre Bourdieu’nün; ‘kültürel sermaye, hayat tarzı alışkanlıkları ve zorunlu-lüks beğeni algısı’ tezleri oluşturur ve çalışmanın konusuyla ilişkilendirilir. İkinci olarak, çalışmada belirlenen konu ve kapsama bağlı olarak İstanbul’un ilçesi olan Zeytinburnu’nda bir alan araştırması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Nicel verilerin toplanmasında “tabakalı ve basit seçkisiz örnekleme” tekniğiyle 772 kişiye anket uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizi; “statü dağılımı, eğitim vasıfları, mekânsal konum ve tercihler, tüketim araçlarının dağılımı ve kültürel etkinlere katılım değişkenleri” üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir.
APPLICATION OF PFAHP-GTOPSIS METHODS FOR THIRD-PARTY LOGISTICS PROVIDER SELECTION
Authors: Çizmecioğlu Sinan , Boz Esra , Çalık Ahmet
Published: March 2024

Companies are now considering the option of outsourcing as hedges cost and increase productivity by concentrating on their core skills to update their supply chains due to the competition in global markets, the use of higher-quality products, and rising customer demands. They must carefully select and identify which company to collaborate with before outsourcing their numerous logistics-related tasks to Third-Party Logistics Providers (3PLP). However, the existence of uncertainties and human influence in 3PLP selection problems leads to the usage of fuzzy or related set theories. By incorporating Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods with fuzzy numbers and grey numbers, practical tools can be composed to address the imprecision of subjective judgments. From this perspective, an integrated MCDM model is proposed to provide insight into the 3PLP evaluation and selection. The model comprises an integrated framework with Pythagorean fuzzy numbers and grey numbers. The proposed model has applied a 3PLP a company in the food industry to fulfill customer orders. The evaluation criteria weights are calculated using the Pythagorean Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (PFAHP) method, and the 3PLPs are ranked using the grey Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (GTOPSIS) methods to find the best 3PLP. The analyses and findings concluded that cost, service quality, and on-time delivery were the three criteria that had the greatest influence

Evaluation of Oxygen Consumption at Maximal Workload in Cases of Post-Covid-19 Syndrome.
Authors: CEYLAN Şule
Published: March 2024

Abstract:

Objective:

Oxygen consumption at maximal workload (VO2 max) is one of the important physiological criteria of endurance that has been used for many years and expresses aerobic capacity. In Post-Covid-19 Syndrome, some complaints persist for at least 12 weeks after the acute phase of SARS-CoV2 disease has passed. By comparing VO2max values and heart rate index values, it is aimed to verify whether aerobic capacity is affected in PCS.

Methods:

Between January and March 2021, 27 patients who were sent to scintigraphy for the evaluation of myocardial perfusion in terms of coronary artery disease due to chest pain and shortness of breath were included in the study. 11 of the patients were female. Treadmill exercise was applied to our patients by the Bruce Protocol procedure. All of our patients achieved 100% of the cardiac rate calculated with the 220-age formula. Our patients’ VO2max and HRI values before Covid-19 infection and after Post-Covid-19 syndrome diagnosis were compared.

Results:

Eleven (40.7%) of the cases were female. The median age of the patients was 53. The VO2max and HRI values calculated before the Covid-19 infection in our patients with PCS were higher than the later calculations. VO2max and HRI values were significantly decreased in patients who had Covid-19 infection and whose complaints were prolonged after the end of the acute phase. According to our findings, aerobic capacity decreased in our PCS patients.

Conclusion:

Complaints of PCS are accompanied by a decrease in aerobic capacity. Identifying the cause of the symptoms will enable us to develop new methods of prevention and treatment. VO2max and HRI values can be used in patient follow-up in PCS. Prospective studies are needed on this subject.

У контексті повномасштабного вторгнення російської федерації в Україну вітчизняна система освіти загалом і система загальної середньої освіти зокрема зіткнулися з непередбачуваними викликами в організації та здійсненні освітнього процесу. Наявна ситуація в українській системі загальної середньої освіти є унікальною, оскільки освітні (навчальні) втрати учнів, зумовлені зупинками освітнього процесу через пандемію Covid-19 та повномасштабне воєнне вторгнення рф, продовжують накопичуватися. Зважаючи на це, основним завданням, яке постає перед українськими науковцями і практиками, є розроблення специфічних дієвих механізмів організації та здійснення освітнього процесу в українських школах відповідно до зовнішніх непрогнозованих і динамічних деструктивних впливів, зумовлених воєнним станом у країні, а основним завданням функціонування системи загальної середньої освіти є забезпечення дієвого/ефективного освітнього процесу задля мінімізації освітніх (навчальних) втрат учнів.
У статті автори аналізують, систематизують й узагальнюють результати досліджень українських і зарубіжних науковців задля визначення особливостей організації освітнього процесу в сучасних школах та окреслення дієвих засобів мінімізації освітніх (навчальних) втрат учнів, спричинених розривами в навчанні через непередбачувані глобальні впливи (пандемія Covid-19, природні катаклізми, війна тощо).
Здобуті результати представлено в контексті обґрунтування дидактичних особливостей організації освітнього процесу в закладах загальної середньої освіти в умовах воєнного стану в Україні, а також розроблення загальних рекомендацій щодо оптимізації освітнього процесу в закладах загальної середньої освіти в реаліях сьогодення. А саме, визначено доцільність: (1) адаптації наявних дидактичних моделей освітнього процесу відповідно до сучасних умов; (2) максимального використання потенціалу змішаної/гібридної/гібридно-гнучкої форм організації освітнього процесу в загальноосвітніх закладах задля підвищення його результативності; (3) продовження реформи «Нова українська школа»; (4) урахування досвіду країн Європейського союзу в упровадженні дистанційного та змішаного форматів навчання; застосування можливостей формальної, неформальної та інформальної освіти; (5) максимального залучення всіх учасників освітнього процесу до партнерської взаємодії задля оптимізації навчання.
What is technology education?
Authors: Dakers John R.
Published: March 2024

The trouble with answering the question ‘What is technology education?’ is that there is no precise and well-defined answer. This is attributable, in one important respect, to the breadth of subject domains that exist in technology education today. These vary across the world but may include woodwork, metalwork, working in plastics, technical drawing or graphic communication, CAD, electronics, pneumatics, mechanics, design or learning about the concept of becoming technologically literate. Each of these subject domains tends to be taught independently from one another and assessed likewise. You cannot teach and assess technical drawing in a woodwork or metalwork classroom setting. This particular issue has now become further confused with the introduction of STEM education.
Attitudes towards and expectations on the role of artificial intelligence in the classroom among digitally skilled Finnish K-12 mathematics teachers
Authors: Pörn Ray , Braskén Mats , Wingren Mattias , Andersson Sören
Published: March 2024

The growing impact and importance of artificial intelligence in society has led to an increasing interest for the potential of artificial intelligence as an educational tool in schools to aid both students and teachers. In this study we investigate digitally skilled K-12 mathematics teachers’ (N=85) attitudes towards and expectations on the role of artificial intelligence in the classroom. The study was done by conducting and analyzing the results of a web-based survey among Swedish and Finnish speaking mathematics teachers using a mixed methods strategy. The Will, Skill and Tool framework was used for the analysis. The survey was done before the introduction of ChatGPT-3. The results indicate that the teachers’ attitudes toward AI tools in school are characterized by interest, openness, and awareness. Teachers have a balanced view on the possibilities and risks of AI use in school. However, the teachers also stress that there is a risk that AI tools will shift the focus from learning key mathematical skills towards learning and interaction with the AI tools themselves. The research concluded that the K-12 mathematics teachers surveyed have broad experience with digital tools and will likely become early adopters of AI tools in the classroom.
Propp’s method and the problem of typology of Slavic mythological characters
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Tolstaya Svetlana
Published: March 2024

The article discusses the possibility of using the method of V.Ya. Propp, developed by him in the study of the structure and history of the Russian fairy tale, to the analysis of Slavic folk mythology and the construction of a typology of mythological characters. One of the typologically significant indicators (along with the traditional signs of appearance, habitat, time of appearance, etc.) can be the function of a mythological character, just as Propp's classification of fairy tales is based on the concept of a function (i.e. action) of a hero.
The Beginning and End of Life as a Single Complex of Ideas (Based on Ethnolinguistic Materials of the Beginning of the 21st Century)
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Plotnikova Anna , Golant Natalia ,   Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2024

The article explores lexical and ritual-magical parallels from two ritual spheres - native and funeral-commemorative - on the basis of field material collected by the authors in two different archaic regions: Slavic and Romanesque. Important fragments from both spheres of ritual, accompanying the beginning and end of a person's life, are considered on the basis of information gleaned from the Russian Old Believers in Romania (Dobruja) and the Vlachs (Romanians) in eastern Serbia (the vicinity of Zajecar). Lexical, etymological, phraseological and paremiological data are involved to confirm the position on the correlation in the traditional folk consciousness of the moments of birth and death of a person. When analyzing the Russian tradition in Romania and the Vlach tradition in Eastern Serbia, the authors also turn to a wider cultural and linguistic background, drawing on material from various Slavic languages (Serbian, Bulgarian, Slovak, etc.), Romanian and, more broadly, Indo-European.
Poetry as a self-reproducing system
Authors:   Vinogradov Russian Language Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Fateeva Natalia
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes the phenomenon of poetic inspiration based on Yu. M. Lotman's autocommunication model, that is from the point of view how the poets themselves fix this state in their poems, instinctively resorting to autocommunication and introspection. It turns out that a poet simultaneously acts in two guises: 1) a person experiencing some unusual physical and mental state; 2) the actual poet-creator, fixing this state in rhythmic-sound formulas. It is assumed that both the generation and reproduction of poetic texts implies a transition to a different psychophysiological state, when language serves as a mediator for bringing thoughts and experiences out of the subconscious and unconscious into the area manifested by a word. First of all, this is facilitated by the rhythmic and sound organization of poetry; the mnemonic component is also strong in the poetic text, which in turn contributes to remembering one's past states through the sound and rhythm. Turning to metaphor, metonymy, hyperbole and other figures of semantic transfer enables the poet to find an adequate expression for the “imaginative”, which is in many ways the form of existence of the “unconscious”.
Symbols of “own” and “somebody else’s” in the descriptions of Bulgaria by Russian travelers of the turn of the XIX–XX centuries on the example of the work of N.A. Epanchin
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Gusev Nikita
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes the book of the Russian military commander N.A. Epanchin, written on the results of his trip to Bulgaria in 1899. The main attention is paid to the symbols that the author presents as markers of the semiotics notions of “their own” and “somebody else's” issues in the country. In the country as “their own” are seen the appearance of the army, the language and the religion. The “somebody else's” issues are represented by two layers - the oriental, embodied primarily by the old urban arrangement, and the “Western European”, expressed in the urbanization, primary attention to education to the detriment of religion and the politicization of the society. The symbols of the “somebody else's” issues, with the exception of the “civilization” and “Europe” in his reception, embodied in straight and clean streets, are perceived by the author extremely negatively, which is largely due to his conservative views. Defending the traditional society, Epanchin welcomes technological progress, which expresses the paradoxical fusion of Russian orientalism and occidentalism. At the same time, remaining in the captivity of Slavo-phile illusions, he mistakenly perceived similar symbols of “their own” characteristics as identical to the Russian ones.
A simple fully conformal solution of Einstein's gravitational equations and the comparison of its implications with astrophysical data
Authors: Dvorsky Richard
Published: March 2024

According to general relativity, the cosmological redshift can be caused also by another mechanism, similar to the gravitational redshift of massive stars - in principle due to differences in the global metric field between a source in the past and an observer in the present. In this paper, we analyse spacetime using a fully conformal metric, where the character of natural physical time is preserved and the scaling factor acts identically on all four spacetime coordinates. Unlike the Robertson-Walker metric, the fully conformal metric preserves the time independence of the speed of light and energy-momentum tensor. The motivation was to test the possibility of the above cosmological redshift mechanism in confrontation with astrophysical data. Probably the most important consequence is the generalized formulation and interpretation of the Hubble-Lemaître law z(r) = (eHr/c – 1), which shows good agreement with astrophysical data even for farthest supernovae. Confronting the model of conformal metric with some astrophysical data shows an interesting agreement with the observed spatial distribution of astrophysical sources such as γ-ray bursts and quasars. On a cosmological scale, the fully conformal metric mentioned above naturally determines global energy density, spatial flatness, and solves the horizon problem and Olbers' paradox in infinite spacetime.

Published: March 2024

Science, technology, engineering and mathematical (STEM) occupations are crucial for economic growth and individual financial stability, yet there is a STEM labour shortage, particularly among women. We examined how individual differences in visual imagery relate to characteristics of STEM occupations — specifically those requiring computational abilities. In a discovery cohort of 2357 online participants, we found that — consistent with prior research — spatial thinking was positively associated with STEM occupations for both males and females. Object imagery (mnemonic vividness), however, was negatively associated with STEM occupations that require computational thinking, possibly because efficient analytical reasoning abilities associate with low object imagery. This negative association was present for males, but not for females. We extended these findings to a sample of 1891 individuals with aphantasia (congenitally low imagery) and a sample of 186 university undergraduates. These results suggest that the well-known influence of spatial imagery is evident across genders, whereas an independent influence of non-spatial and non-visual abstract analytic abilities on computational STEM professions is confined to males. These findings have implications for policy in fostering careers in STEM, particularly for females.
Mental Health Needs of Children and Young People in England, 2016-2021: An Epidemiological Study, and Comparison of Young People Who Have Received Protective and Care Interventions and Their Peers

Aims: In England, around 18% of children and young people (CYP) experience clinical levels of mental health difficulties. CYP who receive protective (child protection plans; CPP) and care interventions (children looked after; CLA) may be particularly vulnerable, with epidemiological work suggesting that nearly half of CLA experience clinical levels of mental health difficulties. Less is known about actual contacts with mental health services. To address this gap, this study aimed to provide an account of the contacts with mental health services for children with and without CPP and CLA, exploring changes over time and reasons for referral. Methods: Data were extracted from NHS Digital for all CYP in England in contact with mental health services between April 2016 and March 2021, and included sociodemographic information, CPP or CLA status, and referral reasons. Odds ratios (OR) were used to estimate associations between relevant exposures (e.g. CPP) and outcomes (e.g. contacts).Results: We found 1,984,827 CYP in contact with mental health services, with evidence of underrepresentation of some groups (e.g., Asian CYP). The most common referral reasons were anxiety (13%), “in crisis” (10%), depression (7%), neurodevelopmental conditions (excluding autism; 6%), self-harm (6%), and conduct disorder (5%). Contacts tended to increase each year for all groups. We did not find evidence of a particular spike in contact during the COVID-19 pandemic for all CYP. Finally, overall CPP and CLA were between 2-3 times more likely to be in contact with mental health services compared to peers. However, in any given year, this represented between 9-18% of CPP and CLA. CPP and CLA were at increased risk for being referred for common (e.g., depression, self-harm) and less common problems (e.g. attachment difficulties). Conclusions: The findings from this study suggest that relative to need identified in epidemiological surveys there are wide discrepancies between mental health need and contacts with services. There are also disparities in access affecting CYP from certain groups. In particular, CPP and CLA have particularly high levels of unmet need. Policy makers and service providers need to review their referral and contact data in comparison with epidemiological data and their population context to mitigate inequitable access. While these data indicate escalating demand, service contacts have not increased significantly, suggesting an increased threshold for access in a stretched clinical service.

Passive smartphone measures hold significant potential and are increasingly employed in psychological and biomedical research to capture an individual's behavior. These measures involve the near-continuous and unobtrusive collection of data from smartphones without requiring active input from participants. For example, GPS sensors are used to determine the (social) context of a person, and accelerometers to measure movement. However, utilizing passive smartphone measures presents methodological challenges during data collection and analysis. Researchers must make multiple decisions when working with such measures, which can result in different conclusions. Unfortunately, the transparency of these decision-making processes is often lacking. The implementation of open science practices is only beginning to emerge in digital phenotyping studies and varies widely across studies. Well-intentioned researchers may fail to report on some decisions due to the variety of choices that must be made. To address this issue and enhance reproducibility in digital phenotyping studies, we propose the adoption of preregistration as a way forward. Although there have been some attempts to preregister digital phenotyping studies, a template for registering such studies is currently missing. This could be problematic due to the high level of complexity that requires a well-structured template. Therefore, our objective was to develop a preregistration template that is easy to use and understandable for researchers. Additionally, we explain this template and provide resources to assist researchers in making informed decisions regarding data collection, cleaning, and analysis. Overall, we aim to make researchers' choices explicit, enhance transparency, and elevate the standards for studies utilizing passive smartphone measures.
Precarious Goals: A Biopsychological Model of Adaptive Strivings Articulates How Harsh Social Worlds Erode Physical Health
Authors: Ewart Craig K
Published: March 2024

Environments erode health by shaping biologically based goal systems, or adaptive strivings, that help a brain regulate bodily energy resources. Adaptive strivings let predictive brain processes anticipate and meet even modest shifts in impending metabolic demands. Adaptive strivings serve growth, social potency, and safety. Striving for personal and social growth (transcendence striving) improves energy regulation and promotes health. But adverse environments can foster precarious strivings that cause organic damage even in the absence of fight-flight responses or distressing emotions: Agonistic striving (persistently seeking to influence others) and dissipated striving (disengaging to be safe) impair regulation and foster illness by generating perpetual power contests or perceptions of self-inefficacy. Threats to social power or status endanger health by inducing precarious strivings that amplify adversities. Emotional transcendence striving, however, may dampen harsh health impacts. Research has replicated the three strivings across differences of race, sex, and age and indicates that agonistic striving contributes to hypertension, somatic symptoms, and alcohol use disorders. Harmful health effects of agonistic striving are moderated by emotional transcendence striving indexed by the ability to modulate anger or physical pain. Agonistic striving mediates the association between exposure to neighborhood disorder and hypertension after controlling for negative emotions and disease-prone traits.
Emotion Regulation Strategies are Associated with Differential Responses to the News
Authors: Buttgereit Lina , Bakker Bert N.
Published: March 2024

Daily negativity in the news can cause people to experience negative affect, negatively affects mental wellbeing, and, in response, people (temporarily) avoid the news. Others, however, seem to handle recurring news negativity better. We theorize that the way people regulate emotional responses to the news could help explain the different patterns of coping with the news. We do this by introducing the emotion regulation literature from psychology in the political communication literature. We investigate if, and to what extent, emotion regulation in response to news use is associated with negative affect, mental wellbeing, and news use frequency. In a preregistered longitudinal intensive diary study in a diverse sample from Western Europe, we find that individuals rely on various emotion regulation strategies to cope with news negativity. We find that people use cognitive reappraisal and selective attention to successfully down-regulate negative emotions arising from news use. On the other hand, no effects of the use of distraction or suppression on affect, wellbeing, or news use frequency were found. Thus, the study offers first evidence that some emotion regulation strategies could be one determinant in explaining why people are affected differently by the news. Our study sets the stage for a research agenda in political communication research that studies the role of emotion regulation strategies in understanding differential media effects.

In dit artikel bespreken we twee onderzoeken naar casusbeschrijvingen met idiografische systeem modellen (ISMs) en gepersonaliseerde proces monitoring op basis van deze casusbeschrijvingen. Als geïntegreerd onderdeel van hun behandeling maakten meer dan 400 cliënten samen met hun behandelaren een persoonlijke casusbeschrijving in de vorm van een netwerk (het ISM) en vulden tijdens hun behandeling dagelijks een vragenlijst in die gebaseerd was op hun ISM. We onderzochten de inhoud van de ISMs met thematische analyse en vonden dat de ISMs sterk geïndividualiseerd waren en een breed scala aan thema’s bevatten. In het onderzoek van de dagelijkse vragenlijst data vonden we dat, alhoewel bij iedere cliënt diens eigen veranderproces gemeten werd, we toch algemene veranderprofielen konden classificeren (bijv. plotselinge of juist geleidelijke verandering) die ook relateerden aan behandeluitkomst. We eindigen het artikel met een reflectie op hoe gepersonaliseerde proces monitoring gebruikt kan worden in behandeling en om inzicht over persoonlijke verandering te verkrijgen. _____________________________________________________________________________________________English SummaryIn this article, we discuss two studies on case formulations with idiographic system models (ISMs) and personalized process monitoring based on these case formulations. As an integrated part of their treatment, more than 400 clients created a personalized case formulation in the form of a network together with their therapists (the ISM) and completed a questionnaire based on their ISM daily during their treatment. We examined the content of the ISMs with thematic analysis and found that the ISMs were highly individualized and contained a wide range of themes. When examining the daily questionnaire data, we found that although for each client their own individual change process was measured, we could still classify general change profiles (e.g., sudden or gradual change) that also related to treatment outcome. We end the article with a reflection on how personalized process monitoring can be used in treatment and to gain insights in personal change.
Developing, evaluating, and interpreting personality state measures: A framework based on the revised latent state-trait theory
Authors: Bader Martina , Columbus Simon , Zettler Ingo , Mayer Axel
Published: March 2024

States are increasingly important in personality theory and research. Yet, the assessment of personality states usually relies on ad hoc measures whose development and evaluation are largely separated from theoretical considerations. To enable theory-guided development and evaluation of personality state measures, we introduce a framework based on the revised latent state-trait (LST-R) theory. The theory defines latent states as the expectation of an observed measure given a person in a specific situation, which can be decomposed into latent traits and latent situation-specific state residuals. Consequently, items and scales can be evaluated for their reliability due to latent traits (consistency) and situation-specific influences (specificity). We propose that specificity, in particular, is an appealing property for instruments designed to assess personality states. We illustrate this framework with experience sampling data on personality states. Our framework has implications for both the conceptualisation and the assessment of personality states. On the theoretical side, we provide a formal definition of personality states, which enables integration between trait-, process-, and development-focused theories. On the practical side, we show how using LST-R models allows researchers to develop and evaluate state measures on their own terms rather than applying criteria for trait measures to assess the qualities of state measures.
Comparison of Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 spectral indices for estimating aboveground forest carbon in a community forest

Published: March 2024

This study aimed to estimate and map the Above Ground Forest Carbon stock in the Salbote Karele Community Forest in Ilam district. The research used field surveys and satellite data from Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 to determine biomass and carbon stocks. A total of 30 inventory plots covering 283.56 hectares (ha) were surveyed, resulting in an estimated mean biomass of 156.48 ton ha-1 and carbon stock of 73.55 ton ha-1. The biomass was then correlated with five different Vegetation Indices (VIs), computed from Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 image and used to develop various simple linear regression models. The study found that Sentinel-2 data showed the highest correlation with observed biomass (R2 = 0.76) and lowest prediction error (RMSE = 78.44 ton ha-1) compared to Landsat-8 data. The linear regression model developed from Sentinel-2’s NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) data predicted a mean AGB of 129.82 ton ha-1 and AGC of 61.01 ton ha-1. This research highlights the importance of using Sentinel-2 data for estimating Above Ground Forest Carbon stocks due to its combination of spectral capabilities and broad applicability. It also shows that the Salbote Karele community forest is of great significance as it stores suitable amounts of carbon

Published: March 2024

This paper review show different silvicultural systems help to restore normal forests, their usefulness and limitations. It is based on a desk review of various secondary data. Nature of ownership, management objectives, and site quality determine the silvicultural system to be adopted. In regular (even-aged) forest, normality is carried out by the clear-felling system, uniform shelterwood system and coppice system while irregular (uneven-aged) normal forest is managed using the selection system. As perfect normality is unattainable, the role of the manager is to reach maximum attainable position. It regulates the supply of forest products on sustainable basis as well as restoring the health and vitality of the forest.
