Vectors of Integration and Disintegration of Asian Russia: Prospects for the Future and Discussion about the Present
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Erokhina Elena
Published: December 2023

The article raises the problem of the lack of strategic planning in relation to the development of territories in the east of Russia. The author highlights the special status of the Siberian macro-region in terms of the integrity of the Russian Federation as well as the heuristic value of the concept “Asian Russia”, referring to the geopolitical risks of the early 20th century. The author analyses the challenges of its development that have not been overcome so far. These include the geographical remoteness of the center from the territorially vast periphery, the social alienation of the provinces from the capital enclaves, and the cultural distance between representatives of different ethnic groups. The resources of human potential in the east of Russia, the civilizational multi-vector nature of its Ural-Siberian core, and the stability of interethnic communities are designated as opportunities for the accelerated development of the macroregion. The methodological basis of the study is the concept of V.L. Tsymbursky “Island of Russia”. On the basis of Rosstat data and the discursive analysis of the “Strategy for the socio-economic development of the Siberian Federal District until 2035”, the risks of underestimation of human capital for the future of Asian Russia and the country as a whole are shown. The main management risk in the long term may be the focus on “raw materials” specialization, which threatens to depopulate vast areas. It is concluded that there is no alternative to a real “turn to the East” and the accelerated development of the Asian regions of Russia as the core of the “Great Eurasia” project.
Analysis of Socio-Cultural Factors of Physical Activity of Population in Different Cultures
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management, Russian Federation, Karpenko Alexander
Published: December 2023

This article examines the relationship between the occurrence of non-communicable diseases and the level of physical activity in regions with various cultures. The World Health Organization statistics on diseases such as obesity and hypertension and physical activity data are taken as indicators. Particular attention is given to describing the cultural factors motivating the population to get engaged in sport and physical activity in countries such as Japan, India, China and the USA. The author touches upon the philosophical and religious foundations of the individual’s and society’s attitude to improving physical abilities in Eastern and Western cultures, as well as the special attitude of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism to the interaction between the individual and society. In her reasoning the author relies on the differences in the priority goals of the individual in different cultural spaces. The author highlights the role of the collective-individual in the mass enthusiasm for physical exercise in the East and the development of professional sport in the West. The key factor here is the pronounced individualism of modern culture in Western Europe and North America. Particular attention is paid to educational approaches and the infl uence of the family on the development of positive attitudes towards physical activity. And also how orientation on family values infl uences formation of high level motivation to physical self-improvement. The article briefl y points out the reasons for the decline of physical activity and sports in modern Russia. The author concludes that cultural differences are a key factor that should be taken into account when planning social policy with regard to health and sport.
On the Structure of the Philosophical Teachings of Epicurus
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Brovkin Vladimir
Published: December 2023

The a rticle discusses three versions of the question of the structure of Epicurus’ philosophy. According to the fi rst version, Epicurus’ philosophical teaching consists of three parts: physics, ethics and canonics. An established tradition in the history of philosophy speaks in favor of this version. An important role in the formation of this tradition was played by such authors as Cicero, Seneca, Sextus Empiricus, Diogenes Laertius. According to the second version, Epicurus’ philosophical teaching is limited to two parts: physics and ethics. The Canonics is not considered as a separate section. It is part of physics. The basis for this version is the emphasis in the texts of Epicurus on two teachings: about nature and lifestyle. The two-part structure of epicureanism is also reported by some late Antique authors. According to the third version, the philosophical teaching of Epicurus does not have a strict division into separate parts. First of all, this is evidenced by the lack of clear statements of Epicurus about the structure of his teaching. It also follows from the texts of Epicurus that he adheres to a holistic view of philosophy, in which there is no special need to divide it into separate parts. In addition, works are attributed to Epicurus, the classifi cation of which is not reported. This may indicate a weak elaboration by Epicurus of the question of the structure of philosophical teaching. It was found that Epicurus does not share Plato’s and Aristotle’s representations about the classifi cation of sciences. Epicurus contrasts the representation of the division of sciences into theoretical, practical and productive with the opinion of the division of sciences into useful – contributing to the acquisition of serenity and useless – not contributing to the achievement of this goal. Epicurus’ disagreement with academics and peripatetics on this issue contributes to the assumption that Epicurus does not share other representations of his opponents, including the three-part structure of philosophy.
Historical Review of Russian Biographies of Aristotle (Second Half of the 18th – Early 20th Centuries)
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Egorova Oksana
Published: December 2023

The article reviews some multi-genre texts of Russian intellectual literature (the 18th – early 20th centuries), containing structured biographies of Aristotle: dictionaries and encyclopedias, textbooks, educational and scientifi c publications. The author singles out seven main chronological periods in the history of the philosopher’s biographies’ creation, as well as their features and source base, with special attention to the authors’ personalities. A separate block examines the key biographies of Aristotle written in the Soviet era. In the main part of the article the author describes each of the selected periods chronologically in every detail, and considers the history of the individual biographical works’ creation. It is noted that the content of the studied texts varies from full-fl edged biographical sketches to brief notes, listing only the main facts or stages of Aristotle’s life. The conclusion is made about the auxiliary nature of these works, where the philosopher’s biography was often referred to when compiling thematic encyclopedic and dictionary articles, or historical references for educational purposes. At the same time, this information was borrowed mainly from foreign encyclopedic publications and popular science works devoted to Aristotle. The above features of the content of the studied texts allow us to call them Russian biographies of Aristotle only conditionally. Among the designated authors there are scientists from various fi elds, philosophers, publicists, theologians and popularizers of science. However, among them there were no professional researchers who purposefully studied the biography of Aristotle. The most signifi cant for the Russian culture of the studied period are the works of S. Ya. Nechaev, G. Voskresensky, S. S. Gogotsky, S. G. Kovner, E. F. Litvinova, S. N. Trubetskoy.
Art of Forgery as a Phenomenon of Culture
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, Sholomova Tatyana
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the problem of falsifi cation of works of art (forgery) and attitudes towards falsifi ed works: falsifi cation as a cultural phenomenon; the meaning of falsifi cation in different types of art; falsifi cation through the eyes of an art connoisseur, philosopher, forger; falsifi cation as an aesthetic and ethical phenomenon; the signifi cance of falsifi cation for modern aesthetic theory and for the art market. The relevance of the topic is justifi ed by a large number of falsifi cations both in the modern art market and in the artistic fi eld. The article defi nes falsifi cation; reveals the problem of distinguishing a fake from legal ‘secondary works’. Particular attention is paid to the lack of clear criteria for identifying falsifi cation: as a rule, this is the intention to bring a secondary work to the market or to the artistic sphere. The different meaning of falsifi cation in different types of art is associated not only with different opportunities to be the subject of investment, but also with the specifi cs of the types of art. In accordance with the theory of N. Goodman, for ‘autographic’ (‘visual’) types of art, the history of creation of a single unique copy has exceptional value; for ‘allographic’ ones such as cinema and literature, each reproduction is original (but works of these arts are not the subject of investment). T. Kulka, a prominent representative of modern aesthetics, explains why the “correct” aesthetic perception of an original or a fake without a hint from the outside is impossible and always requires knowledge of the context. This is a very important point for understanding the attitude towards falsifi cation: it is not built into the history of art and therefore cannot claim the same reverent attitude towards itself that the originals deserve. The ethical problem of the existence of falsifi cation is shown on the example of E. Hebborn’s “The Art Forger’s Handbook”, which explains how to shift responsibility for establishing the status of a work to art critics, using the peculiarities of their professional psychology. In general, the article recognizes the important role of falsifi cation in the modern art market: the fi rst unsuccessful acquisition of a novice collector becomes a kind of act of initiation and strength testing.
Model of Implementation of Cultural Policy of Transnistria in Conditions of the Modern Ethno-Cultural Landscape
Authors:   A.G. Rubinstein Pridnestrovian State Institute of Arts,Tiraspol, Transnistria, Golub Natalia
Published: December 2023

In the paradigm fi eld of sociocultural research, the presence of variability of approaches to models of cultural policy is fi xed. Applying the typologies put forward by Russian and foreign researchers, such as A.E. Khrenov, A.S. Balakshin, A. Mol, E. Evertitt, A. Wisand, explicating these models in the context of the Pridnestrovian sphere of culture, this study substantiates the need to develop and the introduction at this stage of the development of society of such a model of cultural policy that would meet the modern needs of a multi-ethnic and cultural community subject to assimilation processes under the infl uence of the emerging geocultural and geopolitical situation. It is in the spectrum of these defi nitions that the existing models of cultural policy are considered, the implementation possibilities of which are determined by the goals, subjects and tools for its implementation, as well as the presence of effective actors (active creators) who have real opportunities to infl uence it. The determination of these provisions lies in the plane of choosing that vector of the country’s cultural development, that optimal model of cultural policy, the election of which, in the context of sociocultural transformations, actualizes the importance of preserving the dominant integrative culture, against the background of giving a special role to cultural communities, creative associations and associations, showing their position on a par with state, taking into account the heterogeneity of the Pridnestrovian culture. The study, based on the triangulation of cultural and political-philosophical approaches, revealed the need to introduce a new model of the cultural policy of such a young state as Pridnestrovie, as a way to preserve the state integrity and civil identity of a multi-ethno-cultural republic, under the infl uence of globalization trends. According to the author, the most optimal is the “public model” of cultural policy, which has an institutional balance, is aimed at the dynamic development of culture at the societal and local levels, is distinguished by tolerance and transparency, but at the same time takes into account the national character of the population living in the given territory. In this connection, the study of this model is updated, the possibilities of its implementation in the prospective development of the republic, which allows aggregating the communicative interaction of the state with society, by supporting a dialogue within society, between its various segments and carriers of different identities.

Published: December 2023

Background and Objective Sleep deprivation is a significant issue among adults. It is on the rise in contemporary society, largely influenced by the shift towards a 24/7 lifestyle and long working hours. Lack of sufficient sleep can influence immune function causing systemic inflammation. Inflammation is a shared characteristic between chronic periodontitis and sleep deprivation. In addition, sleep deprivation can have detrimental effects on cognitive function and motor skills, which may reduce the individual’s ability to maintain proper oral hygiene further influencing periodontal health. This study aimed to examine the quality and duration of sleep and their potential association with periodontitis in the South Indian population.Methods Fifty-six subjects were diagnosed based on the criteria outlined in the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions. Probing depth and clinical attachment loss were measured as a part of the clinical examination. The severity, complexity, and progression of periodontitis were classified based on both stage (I–IV) and grade (A–C) systems. The participants were given a questionnaire including demographic information and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.Results There was a significant association between the severity and extent of periodontitis and sleep quality and duration. The mean sleep quality was highest in Stage IV (1.57 ± 0.76) and Grade B (1.62 ± 1.28). Similarly, Stage IV (1.14 ± 0.66) and Grade B (1.38 ± 0.92) showed the highest scores for sleep duration.Conclusions Poor sleep quality and duration were significantly associated with the stage and grade of periodontitis in the South Indian population.

Published: December 2023

Background and Objective As the quantity of sleep can influence our mental health, this study examined the association of sleep duration with depression and anxiety in freshman students of Neyshabur University of Medical Sciences (NUMS).Methods This study was conducted on 471 freshman students who enrolled at NUMS in the academic years of 2019 and 2020. Data collection and evaluation of sleep duration, depression, and anxiety were done using the Persian versions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Beck Depression Inventory-II, and Beck Anxiety Inventory. The association between sleep duration with depression and anxiety was analyzed using the multinomial logistic regression models.Results The prevalence of inadequate and excessive sleep duration in the participants was 41.8% and 6.4%, respectively. More than 20% of the students reported depression (mild = 10.2%, moderate = 7.0%, and severe = 4.2%), and approximately one-third reported anxiety (mild = 20.6%, moderate = 7.9%, and severe = 3.4%). The analytical results showed that the odds of moderate and severe depression in individuals with inadequate sleep were three times higher compared to the individuals with adequate sleep (p < 0.05). Further, the odds of moderate anxiety in individuals with inadequate sleep was relatively three times higher compared to individuals with adequate sleep (p < 0.05).Conclusions Inadequate sleep predisposes students to mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. Therefore, policymakers and educators should develop psychological interventions to prevent anxiety and depression in students and help students live a healthy lifestyle such as improving sleep.

Published: December 2023

Background and Objective The precise pathophysiology of cognitive impedance and mental illness in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients remains elusive. Therefore, there is a need for studies on novel diagnoses and therapeutic strategies for cognitive impairment in OSA patients. This work aimed to evaluate cerebral hypoxemia, its consequences on brain metabolism, and local and systemic inflammation, and their subsequent impact on cognitive and psychological functioning.Methods This cross-sectional case-control study was conducted on 30 eligible OSA patients and 20 age/sex-matched healthy controls. All the participants underwent one-night polysomnography, and cognitive evaluation was done using the Mini-Mental State Examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Brief Kingston Standardized Cognitive Assessment, D2 Test of Consideration (to evaluate attention problems), and Wisconsin card sorting test. The psychiatric assessment included the Arabic form of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and Beck Depression Inventory-II. A radiology assessment was done using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Neurophysiological assessment was done using the potential cortical (N20) latency and amplitude of somatosensory evoked potential. Laboratory examinations included serum levels of NF-κB, HMGB1, and HIF-1α.Results Polysomnography demonstrated noteworthy increase in the apnea-hypopnea index, respiratory disturbance index, arousal index, snoring index, and wake after sleep onset. It also showed diminished sleep efficiency, total sleep time, and SaO2 nadir in the OSA group. Neuropsychological scales demonstrated poor performance in global cognitive tests, particular cognitive domains impedance, and depression in the OSA group, with noteworthy differences within the group. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy highlighted that OSA patients had a noteworthy bilateral decrement in N-acetylaspartate (NAA) peak, creatine peak, and NAA/choline proportion and an increment in choline peak, lipid peak, lactate peak, choline/creatine proportion, and NAA/creatine proportion in the frontal white matter, hippocampus, and parieto-occipital cortex. Moreover. OSA patients had either missing or decreased amplitude and delayed latency of N20. There was a noteworthy rise of serum inflammatory marker NF-κB, HMGB1, and oxidative stress marker HIF-1α in OSA patients.Conclusions Chronic intermittent hypoxia with resulting amplified inflammatory and oxidative stress in OSA patients may affect brain metabolism; consequently, leading to cognitive and psychological dysfunctions.

Published: December 2023

Background and Objective We aimed to explore the Discrepancy-Cognitive Arousal model among the general population, applying the discrepancy between desired time in bed and desired total sleep time (DBST index), dysfunctional beliefs about sleep, and sleep-related metacognitive processes.Methods An anonymous online survey study was conducted among the general population between January 10 and 18, 2022. The survey form included a questionnaire for demographic characteristics and rating scales such as Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep–16 items (DBAS-16), and Metacognition Questionnaire for Insomnia–14 items (MCQI-14). In addition, questions for measuring participants’ DBST index were included.Results A total of 374 participants’ responses were analyzed. The ISI score was predicted by the DBST index (β = 0.11, p = 0.008), DBAS-16 (β = 0.37, p < 0.001), and MCQI-14 (β = 0.30, p < 0.001) in the linear regression analysis. In the mediation model, the DBST index directly predicted insomnia severity, and dysfunctional beliefs about sleep and sleep-related metacognitive processes mediated this relationship.Conclusions We observed that the Discrepancy-Cognitive Arousal model of insomnia was feasible among the general population.

Authors: Lee Eun Jung , Cho Jae Hoon
Published: December 2023

Few studies have shown an increased risk of oral cancer in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). We investigated the association between OSAS and oral cancer using data from the Korea National Health Insurance Service database. A total of 198574 male patients who were newly diagnosed with OSAS between 2007 and 2014 were included. A control group of 992870 participants was selected using propensity score matching, and the hazard ratio for oral cancer (95% confidence interval) was calculated. The incidence of oral cancer among patients with OSAS was significantly higher than that of the controls (1.25 [1.01–1.54]). Regarding oral cancer incidence by sex, there was no increase in the hazard ratio in males, but it increased to 2.29 (2.29 [1.38–3.70]) in females. In particular, the incidence of oral cancer was the highest in patients aged 40–65 years (1.38 [1.07–1.75]).

Authors: Jeon Huisu , Lee Wooyoun , Suh Sooyeon
Published: December 2023

Background and Objective Bedtime procrastination, defined as the behavior of going to bed later than intended in the absence of external factors, has been associated with insomnia and emotion regulation. The present study aimed to explore the moderating effect of emotion regulation strategies in the relationship between insomnia severity and bedtime procrastination.Methods This sample consisted of 374 adults (mean age 23.08 ± 2.17 years, 84.5% females). Participants completed the Bedtime Procrastination Scale, an Emotional Regulation Strategy checklist, and the Insomnia Severity Index.Results Bedtime procrastination was positively correlated with insomnia severity (r = 0.280, p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with active coping (r = -0.148, p < 0.01). Insomnia severity was positively correlated with avoidance coping (r = 0.099, p < 0.05) and negatively correlated with active coping (r = -0.170, p < 0.01) and support-seeking coping (r = -0.110, p < 0.05). There was a significant moderating effect of support-seeking coping in the relationship between insomnia and bedtime procrastination (B = 0.0165, 95% confidence interval = 0.0014–0.0316).Conclusions As a result of the present study, individuals using more support-seeking coping were more likely to delay bedtime as their insomnia symptoms became more severe. These findings suggest that support-seeking coping may be an important factor to consider in the clinical context of providing intervention for individuals with insomnia.
Analysis of a delayed mathematical model for tumor-immune cell interactions with Holling type II functional response
Authors:   Departamento de Matemática Pura, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima-Perú., Medina-Diaz John
Published: December 2023

In this study, we analyzed a three-dimensional nonlinear differential system considering Holling type II functional response that describes the dynamics of tumor cells, cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and helper T cells, with a single interaction delay. The linear stability of the internal equilibrium point and the presence of the Hopf bifurcation are examined, with the discrete time delay serving as the bifurcation parameter. To demonstrate the rich dynamic behavior of the model, we present numerical simulations with various values of the time delay τ and the attack rate of cytotoxic T lymphocytes on tumor cells (α1). These simulations exhibit the presence of periodic oscillations and tumor death with survival of the mentioned immune cells, for all α1 greater than a fixed threshold with or without delay.

Angiogenesis is the process of forming new blood capillaries from pre-existing vessels. Even though it is essential during normal development, it plays a major role in cancer progression. Neratinib is a pan-human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) inhibitor that has recently been approved for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. However, its effects on angiogenesis and embryogenesis remain unknown. This study examined the antiangiogenic effects of neratinib using the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of chicken embryos. We also evaluated neratinib’s toxicity during the early stages of normal development using the chicken embryos, primary embryonic fibroblasts (EFBs), and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Our findings revealed that neratinib significantly inhibited the CAM angiogenesis compared to controls by reducing vessel percentage area and the average vessel length. Furthermore, neratinib downregulated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a key mediator of angiogenesis. At lower concentrations, neratinib was well-tolerated during early stages of normal development. Additionally, EFBs treated with neratinib showed no morphological or viability changes when compared to controls. However, at the highest concentration tested, neratinib treatment reduced HUVEC cell viability. This effect may be associated with the dysregulation of key apoptotic genes, including caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, and the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2) gene. Our findings indicate a novel potential application of neratinib as an antiangiogenic agent, exhibiting tolerable toxicity in the early stages of embryogenesis.

Grounded teori (GT) hem eylemin hem de değişimin tanımlanması, anlaşılması ve analiz edilmesi, teorik geliştirme ve soyutlama yoluyla genelleme yapabilmesi aynı zamanda yararlı ve geniş bir uygulama alanı bulan sistematik bir yaklaşım olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bilimsel bilginin ilerleyici, kümülatif, toplumsal, nesnel, dinamik, geçici özellikleriyle 1967 yılından bugüne farklı türlerde evrimsel bir süreç geçiren GT’ye olan ilgi uluslararası anlamda sürekli artmaktadır. Özellikle sosyoloji, çevre çalışmaları, uluslararası politika ve siyaset, hemşirelik, psikoloji, eğitim, işletme, toplumsal cinsiyet, şehir planlama, yazılım geliştirme, ceza adaleti, sosyal hizmet, ırk ve etnik köken, inşaat yönetimi, mühendislik eğitimi ve turizm gibi birçok farklı alanda çalışmaların olduğu görülmektedir. Aynı şekilde Türkiye’de GT’ye olan ilgi sınırlı da olsa hemşirelik, temel eğitim, yüksek eğitim ve yönetim alanlarında artma eğilimdedir. Ancak GT’nin sahip olduğu güçlü niteliksel özelliklerin özellikle ulusal yayınlarda işlenmediği görülmektedir. Araştırmacıların GT özelinde yapacakları çalışmalarda hem ulusal hem de uluslararası daha nitelikli bilimsel çıktılara ulaşılması bilim insanları, editörler, hakemler tarafından hedeflenmelidir. Bu anlamda çalışmada, Kathy Charmaz’ın pragmatik konstrüktivist bakış açısıyla GT kullanımı adına yol haritası önerisi amaçlanmaktadır. Önerilen yol haritası 12 adımlı olup her adımda detaylı içerikler ve araştırmacıların, editörlerin ve hakemlerin nitelikli GT çalışmaları adına sormaları gereken sorular yer almaktadır.

Bu araştırma ortaokul matematik öğretmenlerinin irrasyonel sayılara ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemeye yönelik nitel bir araştırmadır. Araştırma, ortaokulda görev yapmakta olan matematik öğretmenlerinin irrasyonel sayılara ilişkin algılarını belirleme amacı taşımaktadır. Yapılan bu araştırmada fenomonolojik desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya halen ortaokulda matematik öğretmenliği görevini ifa etmekte olan 31 öğretmen dâhil olmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak on sorudan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmış, görüşmeler yüz yüze veya çevrimiçi görüşmeler şeklinde yürütülmüştür. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde içerik analizine başvurulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda katılımcıların irrasyonel sayılara ilişkin istenen düzeyde bir deneyime sahip olmadıkları, bunun sonucunda irrasyonel sayılara ilişkin yeterli bir farkındalığa sahip olmadıkları görülmüştür. Özellikle gündelik yaşam sürecinde irrasyonel sayılarla yeterli bir düzeyde karşılaşmayan öğretmenlerin bu sayılara ilişkin algıları ve kavramsal farkındalıklarının yetersiz olduğu görülmüştür. Buna göre günlük yaşamda daha hassas hesaplamalar için anahtar bir rol oynayan irrasyonel sayıların öneminin yeterli düzeyde kavranmadığı kanısı oluşmuştur. Bu durum öğretmenlerin hizmet öncesi eğitimlerinde olduğu gibi hizmet sürecinde de irrasyonel sayılara ilişkin beklenen kazanımlarının gözden geçirilmesi gerektiği kanaatine yol açmıştır.

Tedavilerde, galvanik akım; iyontoforez (galvanoterapi), tıbbi galvanizm ve cerrahi galvanizm (elektroliz) yöntemleri kullanılmaktadır. Bu derlemede amacımız sağlıkta kullanılan galvanik akımın önemini ve kullanıldığı alanları literatür bilgileri ışığında açıklamaktır. Negatif ya da pozitif monofazik olan galvanik akım (DC: doğru akım), elektronların aynı şiddette ve aynı yönde hareket etmesi ile oluşan akımdır. Bu akım ile deri altına çeşitli iyonların veya tedavi edici ilaçların girişi sağlanır. Bu yönteme galvanoterapi veya iyontoforez denir1. İyontoforez yöntemi ile elektrik akımı kullanılarak deri içine istenilen veya tedavi edici ilaçların girmesi sağlanır. Başlangıçta aşırı terlemede etkin olan AlCl3 (alüminyum klorür) veya AlSO4 (alüminyum sülfat) gibi kimyasal ajanların deri içine verilmesi ile başladığından, adı iyontoforez olarak adlandırılmıştır. Sonradan terlemede galvanik akımın etken olduğu anlaşılmıştır. İyontoforez yöntemi, hiperhidrosiz (aşırı terleme) tedavisinde kullanılan, etkinliği ve güvenilirliği uzun yıllardır bilinen bir yöntemdir. Vücut sıcaklığından daha yüksek sıcaklıkta bir ortamda, vücudumuzun kendi sıcaklığını koruması için ter bezlerimizden vücut dışına ter atılarak ısı aktarımı gerçekleşir. Bu ısı aktarımı sonrası atılan ter buharlaşır. Genellikle el, ayak ve koltuk altında yer alan, çevresel ve merkezi sinir sistemi tarafından düzenlenen ekrin ter bezleri bir insanda yaklaşık 2-4 milyon kadardır. Çok fazla uyarılması durumunda hiperhidroz denilen aşırı terleme oluşur. Aşırı terleme bireylerin sosyal ve iş hayatını negatif yönde etkilemektedir. Aşırı terlemenin tedavisinde iyontoforez (galvanoterapi), botoks, endoskopik torasik sempatotomi (ETS) ve lokal antiperspirantlar kullanılmaktadır. Yapılan araştırmalar sonucu kadınlarda ve erkeklerde her yaşta ortaya çıkabilmekle birlikte yaklaşık nüfusun %1’i bu rahatsızlıkla karşı karşıyadır.
Time-Dependent Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Seismic Sequences Based on Hybrid Renewal Process Models

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is a methodology with a long history and has been widely implemented. However, in the conventional PSHA and sequence-based probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (SPSHA) approaches, the occurrence of mainshocks is modeled as the homogeneous Poisson process, which is unsuitable for large earthquakes. To account for the stationary occurrence of small-to-moderate (STM) mainshocks and the nonstationary behavior of large mainshocks, we propose a time-dependent sequence-based probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (TD-SPSHA) approach by combining the time-dependent mainshock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (TD-PSHA) and aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, consisting of four components: (1) STM mainshocks, (2) aftershocks associated with STM mainshocks, (3) large mainshocks, and (4) aftershocks associated with large mainshocks. The approach incorporates an exponential-magnitude, exponential-time model for STM mainshocks, and a renewal-time, characteristic-magnitude model for large mainshocks to assess the time-dependent hazard for mainshocks. Then nonhomogeneous Poisson process is used to model the occurrence of associated aftershocks, in which the aftershock sequences can be modeled using the Reasenberg and Jones (RJ) model or the epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model. To demonstrate the proposed TD-SPSHA approach, a representative site of the San Andreas fault is selected as a benchmark case, for which five time-dependent recurrence models, including normal, lognormal, gamma, Weibull, and Brownian passage time (BPT) distributions, are chosen to determine the occurrence of large mainshocks. Then sensitivity tests are presented to show the effects on TD-SPSHA, including (1) time-dependent recurrence models, (2) mainshock magnitude, (3) rupture distance, (4) aftershock duration, (5) escaped time since the last event, and (6) future time interval. Furthermore, the bimodal hybrid renewal model is utilized by TD-SPSHA for another case site. The comparison results illustrate that the sequence hazard analysis approach ignoring time-varying properties of large earthquakes for long periods and the effects of associated aftershocks will result in a significantly underestimated hazard. The TD-SPSHA-based hazard curves using the ETAS model are larger than those of the RJ model. The proposed TD-SPSHA approach may be of significant interest to the field of earthquake engineering, particularly in the context of structural design or seismic risk analysis for the long term.
Capturing Directivity in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for New Zealand: Challenges, Implications, and a Machine Learning Approach for Implementation

The proximity of fast-slipping crustal faults to urban areas may result in pulse-like ground motions from rupture directivity, which can contribute to increased levels of damage even for engineered structures. Systematic modeling of directivity within probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) remains challenging to implement at the regional scale, despite the availability of directivity models in the literature. In the process of developing the 2022 National Seismic Hazard Model for New Zealand (2022 NSHM), we explored the feasibility and impact of modeling directivity for PSHA at a national scale using the previous generation 2010 NSHM. The results of this analysis allowed us to quantify the impact of directivity on the resulting seismic hazard maps for New Zealand and gain insights into the factors that contribute to the expected increases (and decreases) in ground-motion level. For the 2022 NSHM, the earthquake rupture forecast (ERF) seismogenic source models introduced enormous challenges for directivity modeling due to the abundance of large multisegment or multifault ruptures with complex geometries. To overcome these challenges, we applied a machine learning-based strategy to “overfit” an artificial neural network to capture the distributions of directivity amplification and its variability for each unique rupture in the earthquake rupture forecast. This produces a compact representation of the spatial fields of amplification that are computationally efficient to generate within a complete PSHA calculation for the 2022 NSHM. This flexible and reproducible framework facilitates the implementation of directivity in PSHA at a regional scale for complex ERF source models and opens up the possibility of more complex characterization of epistemic uncertainties for near-source ground motion in practice.
Rapid Earthquake Rupture Characterization for New Zealand Using the FinDer Algorithm

Immediately after a significant earthquake, rapid scientific information is critical for response decision-making and estimating secondary hazards, and is a key component of advisories and public communication. Characterization of the fault rupture extent is especially valuable because it strongly controls ground-motion estimates, or tsunami forecasts in offshore settings. The Finite-fault rupture Detector (FinDer) is designed to rapidly estimate location, extent, and orientation of earthquake fault rupture by matching spatial distributions of high-frequency seismic amplitudes with precomputed templates. Under a large public initiative to better prepare for and respond to natural disasters, FinDer is being implemented in New Zealand for rapid source characterization. Here, we report on implementation and performance, including offline and real-time testing using configurations modified for the New Zealand setting. Systematic testing is used to inform guidelines for real-time usage and interpretation. Analysis of rupture parameter recovery when using national network GeoNet stations demonstrates that for moderate (M 6+) onshore earthquakes FinDer can resolve magnitude and location well, and the rupture strike is also well determined for large (M 7+) onshore earthquakes. For near-offshore earthquakes (within 100 km), FinDer can provide reasonable magnitude estimates but cannot determine the location or strike. Real-time testing shows reliable detection for onshore earthquakes of M 4.5+, with reasonable location and magnitude accuracy. First detection times range between 7 and 65 s of earthquake origin, and stable solutions even for large (M 7+) magnitude events are delivered within 2 min. Although the GeoNet seismic network is not optimized for earthquake early warning, this provides a first exploration of network-based capability for New Zealand. Offline testing of significant M 7+ historic earthquakes demonstrates that FinDer’s rupture solutions can be used to improve rapid shaking predictions, and may be used to infer additional directivity and tsunami hazard even for complex events like the 2016 M 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake.

El presente trabajo describe la percepción de una maestra-tutora sobre la Competencia Motriz y Relaciones Sociales en escolares de Educación Infantil. Este estudio tuvo un triple objetivo, por un lado, conocer si la maestra-tutora, participante, era capaz de identificar a los escolares con dificultades motrices y sociales. Por otro lado, analizar el impacto de un Programa de Refuerzo Motriz en la Competencia Motriz y en las Relaciones Sociales en estos escolares. Por último, conocer si la maestra-tutora percibe el efecto del programa. En el estudio participó la maestra-tutora y 6 escolares con dificultades motrices, con una edad media de 5.60 años (DT ± 0.53). Se diseñó un estudio pre-experimental mixto que combinó un enfoque cuantitativo para las medidas Pre-Test y Post-Test y un enfoque cualitativo para observar el comportamiento de los participantes. Se evaluó la Competencia Motriz de manera objetiva, mediante la Batería de evaluación (Mabc-2) y se realizó un Sociograma para conocer las Relaciones Sociales. Por otro lado, se pasó un cuestionario a la profesora tutora. Los resultados mostraron que la maestra-tutora, en líneas generales, detecta entre el alumnado a aquellos escolares que presentan dificultades motrices o/y sociales de manera muy evidente. Asimismo, los resultados muestran una mejora en los escolares en ambas variables. En conclusión, los docentes de Educación Infantil como uno de los principales agentes de socialización pueden llegar a ser un elemento fundamental para ayudar a que estos superen las dificultades motrices y sociales.
