Intelligent System of Estimation of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and Investment Efficiency in the Economy with External Technology Gaps
Authors: Lopatin Alexey
Published: December 2023

This paper is the first to propose an aggregate S-trend factor production function to estimate total factor productivity (TFP) and investment efficiency in an economy. This function implements Charles R. Hulten’s organizing principle: to what extent the growth of the economy is due to an increase in “productivity” (progress in technology and organization of production) and to what extent to “capital formation” (increased investment in human capital, knowledge, and fixed capital). Estimation of future members of the series is usually done by a forecast model. It is a model that approximates a trend. The Verhulst's S-curve y'(t) = u + A(1+B*exp(-a(t-m)))-1 is used as the approximation function. Here, A, B, and a are the parameters that change the shape of the S-curve, and u and m are the parameters that change the position of the S-curve in the first quarter, t ≥0. By aggregate S-trend production function, we mean a two-factor production function of the form Z(t) = P(t)y'(t) = P(t)*S(x(t), A, B, a, m, u). Here, the function S(x(t), A, B, a, m, u) is a S- curve trend with the factor x(t) ≡ t. It represents the GDP growth rate over a time interval equal to the product of the S-curve elasticity over the growth rate of n(t) over that interval and takes into account all factors affecting S-curve elasticity, including, for example, labor and capital. The value of the elasticity affects the value of TFP (P(t)), but not vice versa. In this sense, the trend forecasting model S(t) is certainly broader than the concept of “capital formation”. The error of approximation is quantitatively measured by the MAPE criterion.

Authors: He Yi , Ren Shuai , Wang Xi , Young David , Mohamed-Said Maalek , Santos Bernardo Augusto Farah , Serenario Maria Eduarda Dias , Singer Marc
Published: December 2023

In the oil and gas industry, produced water with a high dissolved salt content is a common byproduct of hydrocarbon extraction from conventional and unconventional wells. Other than salts, corrosive gases such as CO2 are abundant in the production stream, which dissolve and acidify the solution, posing a risk of internal pipeline corrosion. To mitigate this issue, injection of corrosion inhibitors has emerged as a cost-effective approach. In various aggressive conditions, heterocyclic molecules that contain nitrogen atoms have proven to be highly effective corrosion inhibitors for many alloys. In this study, tetrahydropyrimidinium (THP-C14) inhibition efficiencies were investigated at temperatures of 25°C, 55°C, and 80°C using electrochemical methods, including linear polarization resistance and potentiodynamic sweeps. Corrosion inhibition data were then correlated with THP-C14 concentration, using the five adsorption isotherms: Langmuir, Temkin, Frumkin, Flory-Huggins, and Dhar-Flory-Huggins models. These isotherms utilize different assumptions to establish the correlation between coverage and inhibitor concentration. The suitability of these five isotherm models for describing the corrosion inhibition behavior of THP-C14 was examined. In addition, the thermodynamic parameters (Kad, ΔadGo) of adsorption for THP-C14 at 25°C, 55°C, and 80°C were calculated and compared using the aforementioned adsorption isotherm models. Finally, a mechanism was proposed for the adsorption behavior of the THP-C14 corrosion inhibitor model compound. Chloride ions were important for inhibitor adsorption.
Proposições acerca das práticas corporais de aventura como conteúdo da Educação Física escolar
Authors: Paixão Jairo Antônio , Miranda Coutinho Rafael
Published: December 2023

Esse estudo teve como objetivo analisar as proposições acerca da implementação das práticas corporais de aventura (PCAs) como conteúdo da Educação Física escolar.  Trata-se de um estudo de revisão sistemática que utilizou como critérios de inclusão artigos originais, publicados no período de 2017 a 2023, nas bases de dados do Portal de Periódicos CAPES. Os estudos analisados mostraram que um número ínfimo de cursos de Educação Física ofertados pelas instituições de cursos superiores no país não possui em suas matrizes curriculares disciplinas relacionadas com as PCAs. Ainda que haja o interesse por uma parcela de professores em trabalhar com as PCAs, os resultados indicaram a falta de incentivos por parte da direção das escolas onde atuam. Soma-se a isso, a ausência de espaços adequados, materiais e equipamentos necessários para a prática das PCAs, que concorrem no sentido de dificultar a implementação desse conteúdo nas aulas de Educação Física.

Abstract
Adolescence is a period of life transition from childhood to adulthood where  many changes and developments occur in adolescents themselves. Adolescence is also a period that is very vulnerable to wrong behavior due to negative influences from outside the family. The problems that are happening to adolescents in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 such as promiscuity, free sex, addiction to technology, use of illegal drugs, and so on can erode the character of Christian youth. This discussion uses a qualitative descriptive method aimed at describing the role of Christian Religious Education in the family to shape the character of Christian adolescents in the face of the 4.0 era so that they do not experience deterioration of character and without losing their identity as believers in Christ. The results obtained show that the role of Christian Religious Education in the family is very important as an effort to shape the character of adolescents facing the 4.0 revolution era, namely the family acts as an educator, the family as a counselor, the family as a center of worship and the family as a counselor.

The people DataViz’s history ignores: a step forward to an intersectional history of Data Visualization
Authors: Esteves Salomé
Published: December 2023

The history of Data Visualization, like history itself, has been told through the works of a narrow demographic group: white, cisgender men from high-income countries. While Florence Nightingale often features in such historical accounts and some recent literature has branched out to explore contributions from people with diverse gender and ethnical identities, a true feminist, intersectional, and decolonized History of Information Visualization is still missing. This paper attempts to jumpstart the effort of looking at women and people of color in Visualization’s past and examine the oppressive structures that hampered the deserved dissemination of their contributions.
Designing inclusive educational games: accessibility rubric
Authors: Cezarotto Matheus Araujo , LaTasha Armstrong Amanda
Published: December 2023

Accessibility is an essential component of inclusive design. Through accessibility affordances, developers and design teams can allow players with various needs (vision, hearing, motor, and cognitive) to use any given educational game to its fullest purpose while enjoying the experience, and educators can ensure all students engage in digital activities. Despite the recent increase in accessibility efforts, it can still be challenging for design teams to evaluate accessibility quality in digital educational games. Educational games have an extra layer that aims to promote learning of specific content, meaning its accessibility features have to allow learners to receive and process the content of information. This study proposes an applied and research-based rubric to discuss accessibility quality in educational games. The rubric is designed to support the design process with reflective guiding questions to address educational accessibility challenges.

Abstract. Wildfires are an important source of carbonaceous aerosol in the atmosphere. Organic aerosol that absorbs light in the ultraviolet to visible spectral range is referred to as brown carbon (BrC), and its impact on Earth's radiative budget has not been well characterized. We collected water-soluble brown carbon using a particle-into-liquid sampler (PILS) on board a Twin Otter aircraft during the Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air Quality (FIREX-AQ) campaign. Samples were collected downwind of wildfires in the western United States from August to September 2019. We applied size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) with ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy to characterize the molecular size distribution of BrC chromophores. The wildfire plumes had transport ages of 0 to 5 h, and the absorption was dominated by chromophores with molecular weights <500 Da. With BrC normalized to a conserved biomass burning tracer, carbon monoxide, a consistent decrease in BrC absorption with plume age was not observed during FIREX-AQ. These findings are consistent with the variable trends in BrC absorption with plume age reported in recent studies. While BrC absorption trends were broadly consistent between the offline SEC analysis and the online PILS measurements, the absolute values of absorption and their spectral dependence differed. We investigate plausible explanations for the discrepancies observed between the online and offline analyses. This included solvent effects, pH, and sample storage. We suspect that sample storage impacted the absorption intensity of the offline measurements without impacting the molecular weight distribution of BrC chromophores.

Abstract. The sinking of zooplankton fecal pellets is a key process in the marine biological carbon pump, facilitating the export of particulate organic carbon (POC). Here, we analyzed zooplankton fecal pellets collected by two time-series sediment traps deployed on mooring TJ-A1B in the northern South China Sea (SCS) from May 2021 to May 2022. The results show a seasonal variability in both fecal pellet numerical (FPN) flux and fecal pellet carbon (FPC) flux, with peaks in November to April and June to August. It implies that the fecal pellet flux is largely regulated by the East Asian monsoon system. Vertical analysis further shows that FPN and FPC fluxes are higher at 1970 than at 500 m water depth, with larger pellets occurring in the deeper water, indicating a significant influence of mesopelagic and bathypelagic zooplankton community and lateral transport on deep-sea FPC export. However, the biovolume of amorphous pellets decreases significantly from 500 to 1970 m water depth, implying that these fecal pellets are broken and fragmented during the sinking process, possibly due to zooplankton grazing and disturbance by deep-sea currents. The contribution of fecal pellets to total POC export in the northern SCS is on average 3.4 % and 1.9 % at 500 and 1970 m water depth, respectively. This study highlights that the sinking fate of fecal pellets is regulated by marine primary productivity, deep-sea-dwelling zooplankton communities, and deep-sea currents in the tropical marginal sea, thus providing a new perspective for exploring the carbon cycle in the world ocean.
A pulse-decay method for low (matrix) permeability analyses of granular rock media
Authors: Zhang Tao , Hu Qinhong , Ghanbarian Behzad , Elsworth Derek , Lu Zhiming
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Nanodarcy level permeability measurements of porous media, such as nano-porous mudrocks, are frequently conducted with gas invasion methods into granular-sized samples with short diffusion lengths and thereby reduced experimental duration; however, these methods lack rigorous solutions and standardized experimental procedures. For the first time, we resolve this by providing an integrated technique (termed gas permeability technique, GPT) with coupled theoretical development, experimental procedures, and data interpretation workflow. Three exact mathematical solutions for transient and slightly compressible spherical flow, along with their asymptotic solutions, are developed for early- and late-time responses. Critically, one late-time solution is for an ultra-small gas-invadable volume, important for a wide range of practical usages. Developed to be applicable to different sample characteristics (permeability, porosity, and mass) in relation to the storage capacity of experimental systems, these three solutions are evaluated from essential considerations of error difference between exact and approximate solutions, optimal experimental conditions, and experimental demonstration of mudrocks and molecular-sieve samples. Moreover, a practical workflow of solution selection and data reduction to determine permeability is presented by considering samples with different permeability and porosity under various granular sizes. Overall, this work establishes a rigorous, theory-based, rapid, and versatile gas permeability measurement technique for tight media at sub-nanodarcy levels.
Uncertainty assessment of satellite remote-sensing-based evapotranspiration estimates: a systematic review of methods and gaps

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Satellite remote sensing (RS) data are increasingly being used to estimate total evaporation, often referred to as evapotranspiration (ET), over large regions. Since RS-based ET (RS-ET) estimation inherits uncertainties from several sources, many available studies have assessed these uncertainties using different methods. However, the suitability of methods and reference data subsequently affects the validity of these evaluations. This study summarizes the status of the various methods applied for uncertainty assessment of RS-ET estimates, discusses the advances and caveats of these methods, identifies assessment gaps, and provides recommendations for future studies. We systematically reviewed 676 research papers published from 2011 to 2021 that assessed the uncertainty or accuracy of RS-ET estimates. We categorized and classified them based on (i) the methods used to assess uncertainties, (ii) the context where uncertainties were evaluated, and (iii) the metrics used to report uncertainties. Our quantitative synthesis shows that the uncertainty assessments of RS-ET estimates are not consistent and comparable in terms of methodology, reference data, geographical distribution, and uncertainty presentation. Most studies used validation methods using eddy-covariance (EC)-based ET estimates as a reference. However, in many regions such as Africa and the Middle East, other references are often used due to the lack of EC stations. The accuracy and uncertainty of RS-ET estimates are most often described by root-mean-squared errors (RMSEs). When validating against EC-based estimates, the RMSE of daily RS-ET varies greatly among different locations and levels of temporal support, ranging from 0.01 to 6.65 mm d−1, with a mean of 1.18 mm d−1. We conclude that future studies need to report the context of validation, the uncertainty of the reference datasets, the mismatch in the temporal and spatial scales of reference datasets to those of the RS-ET estimates, and multiple performance metrics with their variation in different conditions and their statistical significance to provide a comprehensive interpretation to assist potential users. We provide specific recommendations in this regard. Furthermore, extending the application of RS-ET to regions that lack validation will require obtaining additional ground-based data and combining different methods for uncertainty assessment.
The most extreme rainfall erosivity event ever recorded in China up to 2022: the 7.20 storm in Henan Province
Authors: Xiao Yuanyuan , Yin Shuiqing , Yu Bofu , Fan Conghui , Wang Wenting , Xie Yun
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Severe water erosion occurs during extreme storm events. Such an exceedingly severe storm occurred in Zhengzhou in central China on 20 July 2021 (the 7.20 storm). The magnitude and frequency of occurrence of this storm event were examined in terms of how erosive it was. To contextualize this extreme event, hourly rainfall data from 2420 automatic meteorological stations in China from 1951 to 2021 were analyzed to (1) characterize the spatial and temporal distribution of the rainfall amount and rainfall erosivity of the 7.20 storm, (2) evaluate the average recurrence interval of the maximum daily and event rainfall erosivity, and (3) establish the geographical distribution of the maximum daily and event rainfall erosivity in China. The center of the 7.20 storm moved from southeast to northwest in Henan Province, and the most intense period of rainfall occurred in the middle and late stages of the storm. Zhengzhou Meteorological Station happened to be aligned with the center of the storm, with a maximum daily rainfall of 552.5 mm and a maximum hourly rainfall intensity of 201.9 mm h−1. The average recurrence intervals of the maximum daily rainfall erosivity (43 354±1863 MJ mm ha−1 h−1) and the maximum event rainfall erosivity (58 874±2351 MJ mm ha−1 h−1) were estimated to be about 19 200 and 53 700 years, respectively, assuming the log-Pearson type-III distribution, and these were the maximum rainfall erosivities ever recorded among 2420 meteorological stations in mainland China up to 2022. The 7.20 storm suggests that the most erosive of storms does not necessarily occur in the wettest places in southern China, and these can occur in mid-latitude around 35∘ N with a moderate mean annual rainfall of 566.7 mm in Zhengzhou.

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Glaciers are crucial sources of freshwater in particular for the arid lowlands surrounding High Mountain Asia. To better constrain glacio-hydrological models, annual, or even better, seasonal information about glacier mass changes is highly beneficial. In this study, we evaluate the suitability of very-high-resolution Pléiades digital elevation models (DEMs) to measure glacier mass balance at annual and seasonal scales in two regions of High Mountain Asia (Muztagh Ata in Eastern Pamirs and parts of western Nyainqêntanglha, south-central Tibetan Plateau), where recent estimates have shown contrasting glacier behaviour. The average annual mass balance in Muztagh Ata between 2019 and 2022 was −0.07 ± 0.20 m w.e. a−1, suggesting the continuation of a recent phase of slight mass loss following a prolonged period of balanced mass budgets previously observed. The mean annual mass balance in western Nyainqêntanglha was highly negative for the same period (−0.60 ± 0.15 m w.e. a−1), suggesting increased mass loss rates compared to the approximately previous 5 decades. The 2022 winter (+0.13 ± 0.24 m w.e.) and summer (−0.35 ± 0.15 m w.e.) mass budgets in Muztagh Ata and western Nyainqêntanglha (−0.03 ± 0.27 m w.e. in winter; −0.63 ± 0.07 m w.e. in summer) suggest winter- and summer-accumulation-type regimes, respectively. We support our findings by implementing the Sentinel-1-based Glacier Index to identify the firn and wet-snow areas on glaciers and characterize the accumulation type. The good match between the geodetic and Glacier Index results supports the potential of very-high-resolution Pléiades data to monitor mass balance at short timescales and improves our understanding of glacier accumulation regimes across High Mountain Asia.
Reading Bhadralok Cultural Memory, Kitsch And Culture Industry In Ritwik Ghatak’s Films
Authors: Banerjee Sarbani
Published: December 2023

The paper problematizes Ghatak’s Marxist treatment of the Bengali as well as the Brahmanical repertoire of cultural knowledge, for the purpose of carving out a Communist significance of the period. Rather than a recontextualization of traditional myths, the paper reads in this attitude a nostalgic particularistic abstraction of a rich array of aesthetic ideas, which are best appreciated in their diverse cultural context. The paper argues that Ghatak utilizes creative opuses of vast potential to serve political goals, with an aim of strengthening the East Bengali immigrant population in post-Partition West Bengal. The paper criticizes how Ghatak breaks down the traditions from different spatial and temporal coordinates for serving the representation of the plights of the Bengali Refugee – making a powerful integrated identity of the traumatized subject at the expense of erasing class, caste, communal and gender distinctions. In this, there is an effort to fashion an imaginary unified East Bengali sub-national entity, which is politically evened out for realization of unique identity and clout.
Exploring Time Travel Rules in Time Travel Films
Authors: Curry Jarvis Tyrell
Published: December 2023

Throughout film history, time travel has been an intriguing concept revisited time and again by film productions, creating a universe of time travel principles and becoming a discipline of scientific import. With some of the greatest minds and thinkers of our time contributing to the living discourse, time travel has gained global significance and has developed several rules films attempt to follow. Time travel theory postulates several theories concerning the effect of an individual traveling through time and coming into contact with themselves; some benign, some many catastrophic. This study reviews time travel films to determine the cinematic consistency of three of these rules; the grandfather paradox, time-traveling for self-benefit, and meeting oneself in an alternate time.

This paper examines the Irish animated film The Secret of Kells. The conflict of the pagan world with the monotheistic world has been going on for millennia, and the reflections of these conflicts are clearly manifested both in the religious and artistic fields. In different geographies of the world, the call of mother nature still resonates in the depths of the subconscious of most people, images of pagan faith are transmitted from generation to generation and become visible in the works of artists. The life story of Brendon, the hero of the film, which is the subject of this article, makes viewers feel the sensitivity of cinematic aesthetics and folkloric narratives and mythologies through a characteristic Irish animation. The ethnic expressive style of Irish animation has been studied in detail in this article both in the sense of animated cinema and cultural studies.
Cinematic Views on Critical Representations of the Economic Policies of the Democrat Party Era: Social Realist Film Initiatives in Turkish Cinema
Authors: Sarı Aksakal Betül
Published: December 2023

The Democrat Party era (1950-1960) sparked radical changes in Turkey. The economic practices of the party administration during the country's administration, as well as some of the negativities it created in the political and social field, have long been on Turkey's agenda. This agenda continued even after the May 27th 1960 Military Coup removed the party from power. The Turkish Constitution of 1961, which was put into effect after the coup, created an environment suitable for looking at various problems of society from different perspectives. This environment was also reflected in the cinema, paving the way for the birth of a movement called Social Realism in Turkish Cinema. It is thought that the Social Realist Movement (1960-1965) and some of the films shot under the influence of this movement mirror the economic policies implemented during the Democrat Party era and the adverse developments it brought with it. In the study, the reflections on the harmful effects of the Democrat Party's economic policies on social realist films in Turkish Cinema are discussed. The films selected within the scope of the study were criticized through critical discourse analysis, historical, sociological, and ideological criticism methods, and the political, sociological, and class aspects of the Democrat Party's policies, as well as their economic aspects, were analyzed.

Authors: Singh Rajinder
Published: December 2023

The manufacturing sector serves as a critical driver of economic growth and employment generation in numerous regions worldwide. Haridwar, located in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, has emerged as a vibrant industrial hub, attracting significant investments and witnessing rapid industrialization in recent years. The manufacturing sector in Haridwar encompasses a wide range of industries, including automotive, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and textiles, among others. The sector’s growth has led to a substantial increase in employment opportunities, attracting a diverse workforce seeking stable livelihoods. While Haridwar’s manufacturing sector development has brought many advantages, it has also produced a number of difficulties for the workers in this fast-paced sector. In order to comprehend the effects on the general well-being, work satisfaction, and future possibilities of the manufacturing sector employees in Haridwar, it is imperative to examine and analyse these difficulties. Every employee is a fortune for their organization, and their skills contribute to its growth. The present research article aims to investigate the problems and prospects faced by manufacturing sector employees in Haridwar. The primary data used in the study was collected from 100 employees (from 20 factories) in the manufacturing sector through a well-structured questionnaire administered by interview. Tools used in the study are Microsoft Office and the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), which are used to interpret the data. Wilcoxon signed-rank test statistics are used to test the hypothesis. The study’s main findings are that male dominance occurred in this sector; most employees graduated and got professional degrees. More than 80% got below 40k as their monthly income, while about 65% were unsatisfied with their current wages. The main problems faced by the employees are poor working conditions, followed by low salaries, a lack of employment security, long working hours, health problems, a lack of social benefit schemes, a lack of medical facilities, a lack of awareness about the government’s welfare schemes, and a lack of transportation to reach their workplace.

The research approach is descriptive qualitative which collect the data through interview and documentation. The finding shows that the mosque’s caretakers called Takmir and organisation of IPNU-IPPNU Ranting Bohar employs Hadrah to widespread the Islamic values as da’wah media. Hadrah has its roles with da’wah messages to impact the people and youth positively to recite and sing a religious chant praising Prophet Muhammada of sholawat. Hadrah connects good communication between Takmir and organisation of IPNU-IPPNU for a collaborative relation to create, develop, and spread the Islamic values at the mosque of Al Manshur.
Relevansi Pemikiran Hukum Imam Malik Dengan Konteks Indonesia Tentang Pernikahan Beda Agama
Authors: Kusnadi Kusnadi
Published: December 2023

This article aims to explain the legal product of Imam Malik in a sociological perspective and its correlation with the Indonesian context. Imam Malik studied in the city of Medina. The legal issues in Medina were not as complex as those in Iraq. In determining the law, he first based his ijtihad on the zahir texts and used more hadiths. Imam Malik used this method because he was influenced by the social and political conditions of the city of Medina. The Ijtihad method used by Imam Malik is the Koran, As-Sunnah, al-Ijma', al-Qiyas, amalu ahl al- Madinah, qaul as-Shahabah, istihsan, al-Maslahah al-Mursalah, Muratul Ikhtilaf, syadd az- Zariah, syar'u man qablanah. As for the legal product of Imam Malik related to the issue of interfaith marriage, Muslim men marrying women of the Ahlul Kitab who adhere to Judaism and Christianity is makruh, because they eat things that are forbidden, such as pork and drinking intoxicants, and children who are born sometimes follow their mother's religion. As for its relevance to the legal context in Indonesia, interfaith marriages are more prohibited, except for Muslim men and women of the Ahlul Kitab by Imam Malik, who are considered makruh. This decision is relevant to KHI provisions, MUI decisions, and Muhammadiyah Tarjih Council decisions.

El objetivo general fue comprender la situación del transporte público en Colombia mediante la revisión y análisis de la literatura para lograr deducir sus efectos medioambientales en la ciudad de Barranquilla y su localidad Norte-Centro Histórico. La metodología utilizada estuvo basada en el método hipotético deductivo, de diseño no experimental y con enfoque mixto en la búsqueda de relaciones causa-efecto, la técnica que se utiliza es la revisión y análisis de literatura, datos e información para medir aspectos y dimensiones, concluir causas y consecuencias, así como también interpretar realidades en este caso de la localidad Norte-Centro Histórico de Barranquilla, Colombia. El resultado principal fue que, el transporte público en la ciudad y la localidad sufre grandes problemáticas relacionadas a la planificación y gestión de la movilidad urbana debido a un déficit en la reglamentación, actualización y control, aunque existe la normativa y leyes, los intereses privados desvirtúan su ejecución, la tasa de fallecimientos en siniestros viales ha aumentado en un 18% comparado con los últimos 5 años siendo los mayores afectados los peatones y usuarios de bicicletas, existe un ineficiente sistema de vigilancia de calidad del aire e información desactualizada, excesiva dependencia de combustibles fósiles, las mayores concentraciones de contaminantes atmosféricos como los Óxidos de Nitrógeno (NOx) y Material Particulado (PM10 y PM2,5) se atribuyen al transporte público y son responsables de efectos negativos en la salud y el medioambiente, dentro de las partículas (PM2,5) aparece el Carbono Negro o “Black Carbon” (BC), siendo el principal responsable de enfermedades respiratorias y cardiovasculares, así como el aumento de temperaturas ya que es el segundo precursor del cambio climático y con un tercio del forzamiento radiativo del Dióxido de Carbono (CO2).

Se plantea una metodología simple para valorar económicamente el saldo total de CO2 de un territorio. Este saldo es la diferencia entre el CO2 absorbido por la vegetación (ornamental, cultivada y natural) y el CO2 emitido por las actividades realizadas en dicho territorio. Esta metodología se aplica a los municipios de la provincia de Sevilla. Se obtiene que 17 municipios sevillanos tienen valores negativos del saldo de CO2 y 88 municipios tienen valores positivos. Destacan Écija (+1.257.528,21 tCO2/año) y Carmona (+1.105.480,97 tCO2/año). El saldo de CO2 por hectárea más alto lo tiene Gilena (20,43 tCO2/ha-año) seguido de Badolatosa (19,34 tCO2/ha-año). La valoración económica se realiza al aplicar un coeficiente de 15 €/tCO2, deducido según la legislación sobre el impuesto de gases fluorados, y se obtienen cantidades económicas que pueden ser muy altas en algunos casos. Se propone que estas cantidades sean una compensación económica para los municipios rurales por actuar como sumideros de CO2. Así mismo se plantean varios usos para este dinero, todos ellos encaminados a mejorar los indicadores sociodemográficos y económicos de los municipios rurales.
La guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania desde el realismo neoclásico
Authors: Sánchez Ortega Antonio
Published: December 2023

Las relaciones entre Ucrania y Rusia pueden ser explicadas desde el paradigma realista de las Relaciones Internacionales. Ahora bien, lo cierto es que en su política exterior se puede observar como Rusia no siempre ha reaccionado de la misma forma ante los cambios estructurales que afectaban a sus relaciones con Ucrania. Por tanto, desde este trabajo se analizarán las relaciones entre ambos estados y su actual situación de guerra según los postulados del realismo neoclásico puesto que ofrece un marco teórico mucho más adecuado para entender cómo las cuestiones internas de la política rusa condicionan las respuestas ante los imperativos sistémicos, a la vez que nos ofrece una base consistente sobre las que identificar futuras tendencias.

The concept of religion, which is as old as the history of humanity, has made its presence felt at every stage of history. Religion is an important element that shapes people's behavior and can also be expressed as a way of life in general. Religion has provided great benefits for people to live together and integrate. Religion appeals to the individual in particular and to social life in general, and social events interact with religion. It is possible to come across many rules and rules that regulate social life, order, human relations and economic life in commerce in divine religions. In the religion of Islam, there are many rules that regulate economic life, and these rules are directly or indirectly related to the science of accounting. There are many verses and stories related to accounting in Kur’an-ı Kerim, and these have affected the development of accounting science. In this study, the relationship between the verses and stories in the Qur'an and the religion of Islam with accounting has been tried to be explained. Key Words: Accounting, Religion.

This problem is also relevant for urbanized  cases,  especially  for  the  southern  regions of the country, where there are cases of spread of ticks. Research on the basis of the Department  of  Parasitology  and  Veterinary and Sanitary Expertise, Anatomy and Pathology named after prof. S. N. Nikolsky and the Scientific, Diagnostic and Treatment Veterinary Center of the FGBOU HE "Stavropol State Agrarian University", as well as on the basis  of  the  veterinary  clinic  IP  Zaichenko "Veterinary  Center  named  after.  Pirogov. The object of the study was ixodid ticks of the genera Dermacentor and Ixodes, seized using  a  specialized  trap,  as  well  as  seized with  dogs  in  veterinary  clinics  during  the acceptance. The study showed that two main types of ixodid ticks are widespread in the city  of  Stavropol:  Demacentor  and  Ixodes. According to the results of research in 2022, female ticks of the genus Dermacentor identified  54%  of  the  total  number  of  adults, males - 46%. Female ticks of the genus Ixodes accounted for 61% of the total number of adults, males - 39%. The spring peak of activity in 2023 showed that female ticks of the genus Dermacentor were identified in the amount of 102 individuals, males - 78 individuals.  Female  ticks  of  the  genus  Ixodes accounted  for  53%  of  the  total  number  of adults, males - 47%. Thus, it has been established that the most widespread distribution of ixodid ticks takes place in the Industrial District of Stavropol, the distribution of alleys, forest zones and walking areas with the coverage of the species of ticks of the genus Dermacentor, is 79% of the total number of captured ectoparasites.

The article presents the results of studying  the  formation  of  specific  immunity  in piglets during vaccination against circovirus infection. Circovirus diseases of pigs, manifested by the defeat of many body systems, are  widespread  and  cause  great  economic damage in industrial pig farms. The study of the  formation  of  specific  immunity  during vaccination of piglets against circovirus infection is of scientific and practical interest. The purpose of the research is to study the formation  of  specific  immunity  in  piglets during vaccination against circovirus infection. It was found that vaccination is accompanied by activation of the innate immunity system, which initiated the launch and formation  of  an  antigen-specific  adaptive  immune response. In animals 6 days after the introduction of the vaccine, compared with intact piglets, an increase in the content of pro-inflammatory  cytokines  IL-1ß,  TNF-α, IFN-α and IFN-γ and the anti-inflammatory mediator IL-4 was found, indicating a cellular  and  humoral  immune  response.  An  increase in the indices of inflammatory activity of mediators and the ratio of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines indicates an increase in the activity of T-helper I and the prevalence  of  cellular  immune  response.  Under the influence of technological stress caused by weaning from sows and transfer to rearing,  animals  14  days  after  vaccination showed a decrease in the level of IL-2, IFN-α and IFN-γ, inducing cellular immunity, as well as cytokine index, the ratio of pro- and anti-inflammatory  mediators,  which  indicates a shift in the direction of the immune response in the side of activation of the functioning  of  T-helper  II,  indicating  the  predominant formation of humoral immunity.

The  development  of  the  agro–industrial complex of the Russian Federation is one of the priorities in agriculture. Pig breeding is one of the most profitable branches of animal husbandry. This is due to the fact that pigs  have  a  number  of  biological  features that are successfully used to produce products (pork, bacon, bacon). With the intensification  of  pig  breeding,  special  attention  is paid  to  scientific  approaches  to  improving pig feeding. In this regard, we set ourselves the goal of the study – to study the arterial vascularization of the stomach in Yorkshire piglets  and  to  determine  the  morphometric data of the organ at the stages of postnatal ontogenesis. The study was conducted at the Department  of  Animal  Anatomy  of  the  St. Petersburg  State  University  of  Veterinary Medicine.  Cadaver  material  for  the  study was delivered to the Department of Animal Anatomy of the St. Petersburg State University  of  Veterinary  Medicine  from  the  Idavang Agro pig breeding complex in Nurma village, Tosnensky district of the Leningrad Region.  The  study  was  conducted  in  three age groups, according to the periodization of the life of pigs. To achieve this task, traditional morphological research methods were used,  namely:  fine  anatomical  dissection, photographing,  vasorentgenography  with morphometry  in  the  "RadiAnt"  program. During the study, it was found that arterial gastric  vascularization  in  Yorkshire  piglets at the stages of postnatal ontogenesis is carried out due to the hepatic and splenic arteries,  which  are  branches  of  the  abdominal artery.  The  branches  of  the  arteries  of  the first order branch in a loose type. When conducting a comparative analysis of the morphometric characteristics of the hepatic and splenic arteries and their branches, we came to  the  conclusion  that  the  diameter  of  the hepatic artery will prevail over the splenic, and their branches of the first order are diametrically opposed to each other.
