Molecular Signature of a Novel Alternanthera Yellow Vein Virus Variant Infecting the Ageratum conyzoides Weed in Oman
Authors: Shafiq Muhammad , Ondrasek Gabrijel , Al-Sadi Abdullah Mohammed , Shahid Muhammad Shafiq
Published: December 2023

Alternanthera yellow vein virus (AlYVV), a monopartite begomovirus, has been identified infecting a diverse range of crops and native plants in Pakistan, India, and China. However, distinctive yellow vein symptoms, characteristic of begomovirus infection, were observed on the Ageratum conyzoides weed in Oman, prompting a thorough genomic characterization in this study. The results unveiled a complete genome sequence of 2745 base pairs and an associated betasatellite spanning 1345 base pairs. In addition, Sequence Demarcation Tool analyses indicated the highest nucleotide identity of 92.8% with a previously reported AlYVV-[IN_abalpur_A_17:LC316182] strain, whereas the betasatellite exhibited a 99.8% nucleotide identity with isolates of tomato leaf curl betasatellite. Thus, our findings propose a novel AlYVV Oman virus (AlYVV-OM) variant, emphasizing the need for additional epidemiological surveillance to understand its prevalence and significance in Oman and the broader region. To effectively manage the spread of AlYVV-OM and minimize its potential harm to (agro)ecosystems, future research should focus on elucidating the genetic diversity of AlYVV-OM and its interactions with other begomoviruses.
Estimating the Economic Effect of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project on Beijing—An Applied Computable General Equilibrium Analysis
Authors: Xu Yinsheng , Bi Yanjie , Zhao Jing , Duan Jingjing
Published: December 2023

What exactly is the contribution of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project (SNWTP)? This is a subject of much debate. There are concerns about the possible effects on the macroeconomy. Most previous studies have tried to answer this question. In order to answer this question quantitatively, it is necessary to separate the effect of SNWTP from many influencing factors. A computable general equilibrium model (SICGE) was built to estimate the economic effect of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project on Beijing. This CGE model was modified by joining the subdivided water substitution module, the total water constraints module, and the water-capital substitution module. Two scenarios were set: one with SNWTP and one without SNWTP. The what-if scenario (without SNWTP) indicates that the water reduction poses a direct threat to economic growth. Employment, capital, and GDP are lower, largely due to water shortages suffered by many industries by comparative analysis with or without SNWTP. The water utilization for the water-intensive industry will decrease the most, and its output will also decrease the most. Without SNWTP, groundwater extraction will increase, which suggests that SNWTP water will tentatively replace groundwater.
Photodegradation of Methylene Blue and Crystal Violet by Zr-Modified Engelhard Titanium Silicate 10
Authors: Lazarova Hristina , Rusew Rusi , Iliev Kostadin , Tsvetanova Liliya , Barbov Borislav , Shivachev Boris
Published: December 2023

The present work focuses on the removal of dyes from polluted water, and, more precisely, the targets are crystal violet (CV) and methylene blue (MB). For this purpose, a series of Zr-modified catalysts based on microporous Engelhard Titanium Silicate 10 (ETS-10) were developed and synthesized. Aiming at improvement in the photodegradation efficiency and stability of ETS-10, Zr centers replacing part of Ti ones were introduced during the synthesis procedure. The obtained Na-K-ETS-10/xZr catalysts were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF), N2 physisorption and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The photocatalytic properties of Na-K-ETS-10/xZr- (x = 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% Zr) catalysts were studied in terms of water purification from crystal violet and methylene blue. The Na-K-ETS-10/xZr wt% x = 6 catalyst appeared to be the most efficient in the photodegradation of CV and MB, removing nearly 100% of the dyes. Kinetic studies showed that the removal of CV and MB is a rapid process and one, which obeys the non-linear pseudo-second-order model.
Performance of LSTM over SWAT in Rainfall-Runoff Modeling in a Small, Forested Watershed: A Case Study of Cork Brook, RI
Authors: Shrestha Shiva Gopal , Pradhanang Soni M.
Published: December 2023

The general practice of rainfall-runoff model development towards physically based and spatially explicit representations of hydrological processes is data-intensive and computationally expensive. Physically based models such as the Soil Water Assessment tool (SWAT) demand spatio-temporal data and expert knowledge. Also, the difficulty and complexity is compounded in the smaller watershed due to data constraint and models’ inability to generalize hydrologic processes. Data-driven models can bridge this gap with their mathematical formulation. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is a data-driven model with Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architecture, which is better suited to solve time series problems. Studies have shown that LSTM models have competitive performance in watershed hydrology studies. In this study, a comparative analysis of SWAT and LSTM models in the Cork Brook watershed shows that results from LSTM were competitive to SWAT in flow prediction with NSE of 0.6 against 0.63, respectively, given the limited availability of data. LSTM models do not overestimate the high flows like SWAT. However, both these models struggle with low values estimation. Although interpretability, explainability, and use of models across different datasets or events outside of the training data may be challenging, LSTM models are robust and efficient.
The Predictability of the 30 October 2020 İzmir-Samos Tsunami Hydrodynamics and Enhancement of Its Early Warning Time by LSTM Deep Learning Network
Authors: Alan Ali Rıza , Bayındır Cihan , Ozaydin Fatih , Altintas Azmi Ali
Published: December 2023

Although tsunamis occur less frequently compared to some other natural disasters, they can be extremely devastating in the nearshore environment if they occur. An earthquake of magnitude 6.9 Mw occurred on 30 October 2020 at 12:51 p.m. UTC (2:51 p.m. GMT+03:00) and its epicenter was approximately 23 km south of İzmir province of Turkey, off the Greek island of Samos. The tsunami event triggered by this earthquake is known as the 30 October 2020 İzmir-Samos (Aegean) tsunami, and in this paper, we study the hydrodynamics of this tsunami using some of these artificial intelligence (AI) techniques applied to observational data. More specifically, we use the tsunami time series acquired from the UNESCO data portal at different stations of Bodrum, Syros, Kos, and Kos Marina. Then, we investigate the usage and shortcomings of the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) DL technique for the prediction of the tsunami time series and its Fourier spectra. More specifically we study the predictability of the offshore water surface elevation dynamics, their spectral frequency and amplitude features, possible prediction success and enhancement of the accurate early prediction time scales. The uses and applicability of our findings and possible research directions are also discussed.
Anaphylactic shock
Authors:   FSBI National Medical Research Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology named after academician Kulakov, Klimov Vladimir Anatolievich
Published: December 2023

Anaphylactic shock is an acute circulatory failure as a result of anaphylaxis, manifested by a decrease in systolic blood pressure (BP) below 90 mm Hg or by 30 % from baseline and leading to hypoxia of vital organs. Etiological factors include medical preparations and materials, most often medicines (31.2–46.5 %), food products (23.3–31 %), and poison of Hymenoptera insects (14.9–20 %). Life-threatening anaphylaxis can develop as a reaction to the venoms of other animals, such as snakes. Antibiotics for parenteral administration (including beta-lactam antibiotics — penicillins and cephalosporins), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), radiopaque iodine-containing substances, muscle relaxants, and latex are among the medical preparations and materials that cause AS most often.

Orina humana, medicina y orfebrería en un pasaje de Sexto Plácito Papiriense (med. 17, 5)
Authors: Ferraces Rodríguez Arsenio
Published: December 2023

A passage by Sextus Placitus Papyriensis (century ?) that deals with the medicinal properties of human urine presents two difficulties : 1) the title Ad elefantiam refers to a therapeutic content, but the passage is made up of two recipes, a medicine one and a goldsmithing one ; 2) the goldsmithing recipe mentions the efficacy of urine to weld gold, but does not explain the procedure, making the text seem incomplete. An internal examination of the chapter demonstrates that Sextus Placitus extracts previous sources, but each extract is reused as a block without the removal of superfluous details in the new passage. Moreover, Sextus Placitus refers to an artificial preparation known as chrysocolla in the goldsmithing recipe, but does not mention its name or its preparation procedure. This information was common knowledge among his contemporaries and could therefore be omitted from the text without causing comprehension problems.
Servientia servanda. A functionalist and quantitative approach to the survival of grammatical aspect in the language of Gregory of Tours
Authors: Aerts Simon
Published: December 2023

L’interprétation de l’aspect grammatical en tant que catégorie porteuse de sens tridimensionnel peut permettre de mieux saisir le potentiel sémantique des temps du récit dans l’historiographie latine. La langue de Grégoire de Tours, tout comme celle de Tite-Live, contient certains emplois des temps dans lesquels l’aspect joue un rôle décisif. Toutefois, avec l’arrivée d’innovations morphologiques (p. ex. deletus fuerat), le (plus-que-) parfait semble avoir subi des procédés de spécialisation en termes de significations aspectuelles résiduelles, comme la résultativité. De manière générale, une comparaison quantitative avec les données de Tite-Live révèle un léger déclin de la pertinence de l’aspect grammatical, ce qui semble pointer vers un retrait (quoique graduel) de l’aspect au sein du potentiel sémantique offert par les temps narratifs. Quoi qu’il en soit, nombreux sont les emplois qui attestent, en latin tardif, de la pertinence de l’aspect et qui confirment l’idée que déjà en latin classique, l’aspect mérite d’avoir sa place dans le système verbal.
Isaac Newton Explicating His Natural Philosophical Method. A Study of the Development of the Methodological Statements in the Queries to the Opticks.
Authors: Ducheyne Steffen , Dhondt Frederik
Published: December 2023

Dans cet essai, nous étudions le développement de cinq passages méthodologiques importants dans les Queries de l’Opticks d’Isaac Newton (1642-1727) et nous explorons plusieurs raisons pour lesquelles il les a continuellement révisés et reformulés. Les Queries, publiés à la fois en anglais et en latin, ont une histoire éditoriale complexe et fascinante. Ici, nous analysons les manuscrits survivants en relation avec les versions publiées de l’Opticks (1704, 1717, 1721 et 1730) et de l’Optice (1706 et 1719) et, en outre, avec d’autres sources pertinentes telles que ‘ An Account of the Book Called Commercium epistolicum’ de Newton et Cambridge University Library, Add. Ms. 3970, f. 479r-v et f. 480v dans lequel il a abordé un certain nombre de principes philosophiques. Plus précisément, nous analysons cinq passages dans lesquels Newton a clarifié ses points de vue méthodologiques pour ses lecteurs : dans le premier passage, il définissait «the main Business of natural Philosophy » comme argumenter à partir de phénomènes sans feindre d’hypothèses ; dans le deuxième passage, il justifiait son utilisation fréquente du mot «attraction » ; dans le troisième passage, il discutait brièvement des conditions dans lesquelles une propriété, notamment la dureté, peut être considérée comme universelle ; dans le quatrième passage, il défendait sa propre méthode en refusant l’idée que la gravité et les autres principes actifs sont des «occult Qualities » ; et, enfin, dans le cinquième passage, il décrivait sa propre méthode en termes d’analyse et de composition (ou de synthèse). Sur la base de nos analyses de ces passages, nous sommes en mesure de retracer l’évolution des idées méthodologiques de Newton du début des années 1700 à 1717. En outre, nous découvrons comment les débats de l’époque sur la philosophie naturelle ont influencé la rédaction des Queries et quels passages ont servi de précurseurs à ses célèbres regulae philosophandi.

Dollar : une hégémonie en péril ? Cas emblématique de l’Argentine
Authors: Dupret Xavier
Published: December 2023

La Chine et les États-Unis sont engagés dans une guerre froide d’un genre nouveau. Le narratif médiatique dominant chez nous évoque cette compétition uniquement sous l’angle militaire. Pourtant, il existe d’autres terrains d’affrontement entre les deux grandes puissances. Par exemple, le domaine monétaire. Petit à petit, le yuan gagne du terrain face au billet vert à la fois au sein des réserves de change et dans les transactions internationales. En fin de compte, cette affirmation du yuan pourrait constituer une intéressante alternative pour ces pays que l’actuelle politique de raffermissement des taux aux États-Unis place en fâcheuse posture du point de vue de leur endettement extérieur, le plus souvent libellé en dollar. C’est notamment le cas de l’Argentine qui se rapproche de plus en plus des Brics et de Pékin.

La dynamique des relations entre la Turquie et l’Union européenne
Authors: Billion Didier
Published: December 2023

L’article analyse la dynamique des relations entretenues entre la Turquie et l’Union européenne sur une longue période. Il traite ainsi de l’évolution des rapports et des perceptions entre Ankara, d’une part, Bruxelles et les grandes capitales européennes, d’autre part, depuis 1963, date du premier traité entre l’UE et la Turquie, jusqu’à aujourd’hui et les dernières propositions formulées par Emmanuel Macron. La contribution souligne l’importance stratégique de la relation entre la Turquie et l’Europe «multiplicatrice de puissance » , mais également les difficultés de compréhension réciproques et les tensions qui animent les sociétés civiles dans l’Union et en Turquie. Selon l’auteur, une refondation de l’Union européenne doit permettre un approfondissement et une nouvelle approche des relations avec la Turquie.
La question kurde et le centenaire de la République turque Une critique décoloniale et artistique face à des mécanismes d’exclusion
Authors: Sustam Engin
Published: December 2023

100 ans après l’instauration de la République en Turquie, 100 après le Traité de Lausane qui partagea le peuple kurde en quatre pays distincts, l’article appréhende ce qu’il est convenu d’appeler la «question kurde » sous un angle nouveau. Il souligne d’abord combien celle-ci revêt désormais une perspective infra et trans étatique, portée par des combats nouveaux, écologistes, féministes ou encore municipalistes. Il donne à voir enfin comment l’art kurde réinterroge la perception de la mémoire de ce peuple en Turquie et dans la diaspora.
La bibliothèque de Charles Ier d'Albret
Authors: Courroux Pierre
Published: December 2023

Over a century ago, Henri Stein published an inventory of the library of Charles I d’Albret, constable of France at the beginning of the fifteenth century. He used a copy found in a Parisian manuscript. This article is based on the Albret’s familial archives, kept in Pau. They give us other inventaries to complete the previous list, to understand better how this library was made up, and which gaps still exist. Comparing it with the libraries of other princes of the court of Charles VI, we can also understand better the literary tastes of the constable.
An early medieval epistolary libellus and the question of originality: Paris, Bibliothèque de l’Arsenal, ms. 717
Authors: Bobrycki Shane
Published: December 2023

L’article examine un manuscrit insolite du haut Moyen Âge, Paris, Bibliothèque de l’Arsenal, MS 717, qui est l’unique témoin d’une lettre du neuvième siècle écrite par l’archevêque de Lyon au sujet des foules religieuses à Dijon. La codicologie, la paléographie et l’orthographe du manuscrit sont examinées en relation avec son contenu. Bien que ce petit manuscrit ne soit pas (comme on l’a suggéré) un document «original » , il s’agit d’un rare exemple médiéval d’une forme codicologique de lettre qui est sous-étudiée : le livret thématique. Cet article trace les limites du concept «d’originalité » en décrivant la diffusion de ce genre de libelli épistolaires. Il affirme que ceux-ci étaient utilisés pour propager des prétentions doctrinales, comme celles défendues par cet archevêque.

Largely unknown, Henri of Dissen († 1484), monk at the charterhouse of St. Barbara in Cologne, let an abundant manuscript production, totally unpublished. His prolific work covers many fields. Thanks to the discovery of a list of books (bibliography or library catalog ?) which can be ascribed to him, and of a spiritual treaty imbued with geographical culture, the Oculus fidei, it is possible to bring to light his reading and writing practices, which took place in the context of the spiritual and pastoral revival of the urban charterhouses at the end of the Middle Ages.

Un nouveau manuscrit de la paraphrase aux Ixeutiques de Denys dans les papiers de Conrad Gessner. Avec une note sur le « scribe de Bruxelles »
Authors: Cariou Morgane
Published: December 2023

Cet article est consacré au manuscrit zurichois C 50a, nouveau témoin de la paraphrase aux Ixeutiques de Denys. Il s’avère avoir été copié d’après le Scorialensis Υ. I. 9, volume de la bibliothèque de Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, pour Conrad Gessner et par Petros Carnabacas, à Venise, en 1543. Largement annoté et amendé par Gessner, qui est revenu à plusieurs reprises sur ce texte, le codex Turicensis est le point de départ de sa traduction latine, insérée par bribes dans son Histoire des oiseaux (1555). La valeur de cette traduction – la première – réside dans l’habileté des conjectures du savant naturaliste qui permettent d’aplanir certaines difficultés textuelles tout en tenant compte des realia ornithologiques. Un premier appendice intègre ce nouveau témoin dans le stemma de la paraphrase. Deux manuscrits athonites et un témoin de la Bibliothèque vaticane, le Vaticanus Ottob. gr. 304, copié par le pseudo-Páez de Castro, sont également insérés dans la tradition. Un second appendice présente une synthèse sur l’anonyme «scribe de Bruxelles » , copiste de la paraphrase dans le Scor. Υ. I. 9. Deux nouveaux témoins, les Paris. gr. 859 et 2751, lui sont attribués et le milieu culturel qui est le sien – le scriptorium de Jean Mauromatès dans la Venise des années 1541-1542 – est précisé. L’examen de ces volumes issus de la bibliothèque royale de Fontainebleau s’accompagne d’une dizaine de nouvelles attributions, dans ce même fonds, à des copistes contemporains.
Le Codex Seguierianus de Cyprien (Paris, BNF, lat. 10592) à l’épreuve de Florus de Lyon .
Authors: Chambert-Protat Pierre
Published: December 2023

The so-called Codex Seguierianus, Paris, BNF, lat. 10592, a collection of works of Cyprian of Carthage written in the 5th and 6th centuries, has been described as “the” Cyprian manuscript used by Florus of Lyon (fl. c. 825– 855). But when cross-referencing every use of Cyprian in Florus’ works and every trace left by Florus within the Seguierianus, they overlap in only one instance. In his works, then, Florus nearly always used manuscripts other than the Seguierianus — and conversely, the traces he left in the Seguierianus are records of other of Florus’ studies that either have not survived or have not yet been identified. In particular, Florus used the Seguierianus for editorial purposes, the impact of which on the Cyprian tradition remains to be assessed.
L’Ausone de Placentin ?
Authors: Dolveck Franz
Published: December 2023

The value of MS Paris, BNF, lat. 18275 is manyfold. This paper gives a new, exhaustive description and a precise dating (c. 1170), and suggests that the MS may have been copied by or for the jurist Placentinus, maybe in Southern France, or in Northern Italy – and anyway,

it used French as well as Italian sources. This MS is a key witness to the tradition of Ausonius, and, in particular, it alone transmits two extracts, so far neglected, that belong most probably to Ausonius.
The rise of the quotation sign in the Latin West and the changing modes of reading between the sixth and the ninth centuries
Authors: Steinová Evina
Published: December 2023

The twelve volumes of the Codices latini antiquiores provide a rich trove of data about the earliest methods of citation-marking in the Latin West. This data indicates that citations from the Bible began to be marked in Christian books by the fifth century. Originally, the preferred method of such marking was by indentation of cited material, but in the sixth century, a different method – the use of a special symbol placed in the margin next to the line containing citations – gained a foothold. Several such symbols were used between the fifth and the ninth century in the Latin West, reflecting conventions characteristic of specific regions, scriptoria and scripts. By the end of the eighth century, one such symbol, a vertical flourish resembling the modern letter S, prevailed as a result of its adoption by the users of Caroline minuscule. Carolingian scribes were responsible for uniformization of citation-marking practices in the Latin West and also for their widespread adoption as a book feature so that it can be estimated that more than half of the manuscripts produced in the Carolingian scriptoria were equipped with S-shaped flourishes. The development in the Carolingian period was a culmination of long dynamic development of citation-marking practices in the Latin West, which seem to reflect different reading strategies and attitudes of distinct groups of book users.
Un scribe au travail pour deux abbayes : Gérard de Cologne, chanoine prémontré (fin XIIIe siècle), à travers ses livres d’archives
Authors: Verpeaux Nathalie
Published: December 2023

Les scribes du Moyen Âge sont généralement mal connus, qu’ils aient travaillé sur des livres de bibliothèque ou sur des archives, voire sur les deux. Lorsqu’ils indiquent leur nom, par exemple dans un colophon, il peut être un peu plus facile d’effectuer quelques recherches à leur sujet. Malheureusement la connaissance de son nom ne permet pas d’en savoir davantage sur Gérard de Cologne, chanoine prémontré de l’abbaye d’Heylissem à la fin du XIIIe siècle. Il a inscrit son nom en tête d’un cartulaire et d’un censier et son initiale au dos de nombreuses chartes, mais seule son écriture permet de lui attribuer un autre cartulaire tandis qu’aucune certitude ne peut être énoncée quant à sa participation à d’autres travaux d’écriture. L’étude de ces trois livres d’archives, réalisés pour deux abbayes différentes, Heylissem et Floreffe, permet toutefois de mieux comprendre comment Gérard de Cologne a travaillé, notamment pour les cartulaires.
La biblioteca di Giovanni Pico della Mirandola : un primo censimento
Authors: Murano Giovanna
Published: December 2023

Dans cet article, je présente les premiers résultats d’un projet de reconstruction de la bibliothèque de Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494). Le contenu de la bibliothèque de Pico, répertorié dans deux inventaires réalisés à la suite de son décès inattendu, comprenait environ 1200 manuscrits et incunables, écrits en latin, grec, hébreu et arabe. À la troisième décennie du XVIe siècle, la collection, achetée par Domenico Grimani en 1498, commence à être dispersée. Pico, contrairement à d’autres humanistes, n’a pas identifié ses livres avec un ex-libris ; cependant, en les lisant, il marquait les passages à retenir avec une ligne verticale et deux ou trois points. Grâce à une analyse minutieuse des deux inventaires et à la présence de ces marqueurs de mémoire et des annotations faites de sa main, j’ai pu identifier un certain nombre de ses manuscrits et livres imprimés.
A New Manuscript of Ockham’s Brevis summa libri Physicorum : Saint-Omer, Bibliothèque d’Agglomération, BA 317
Authors: Purkaple Brent , Livesey Steven J.
Published: December 2023

This article analyzes a recently-discovered fourth witness to William of Ockham’s Brevis summa libri Physicorum, which was known previously from three witnesses, preserved at Uppsala (UB, C 665), Munich (BSB, Clm 4379) and Göttingen (BU, Theol. 124) : Ms. Saint-Omer, Bibliothèque d’Agglomération du Pays de Saint-Omer [ BA], 317 (s. XIVex). Ms. 317 is a sibling to Clm 4379, but the new witness contains the longest and most interesting colophon, characterizing the author as Franciscan and identifying him with the sobriquet of venerabilis inceptor, an epithet that was rarely applied in the fourteenth century. While the hand in which the Brevis summa was written is Anglicana, the watermark of the paper on which the text is copied comes from Austria or southern Germany, in regions where the influence of Wycliff (an early appropriator of the sobriquet) is pre-eminent, and where William of Ockham ended his life. Moreover, Ockham’s text in ms. 317 accompanies works of natural philosophy by Albert of Saxony and William of Heytesbury that circulated in university circles ; all three texts served to prepare students for the physics of Aristotle. The new witness is therefore an interesting specimen for the textual reception and transmission of Ockham in late-medieval Europe.
Terawatt-Class Few-Cycle Short-Wave Infrared Vortex Laser

Published: December 2023

As a driving source for many nonlinear vortex phenomena, such as the generation of isolated attosecond optical vortices, terahertz vortices, etc., terawatt-class few-cycle short-wave infrared vortex lasers are now attracting widespread attention. However, because the vortex characteristics of optical vortices are difficult to maintain in the amplification and compression stages, the generation of high-intensity few-cycle vortex lasers is still in the exploratory stage. In this article, we report 20-Hz, 18.6-mJ, 60-fs, and 1.45-μm infrared vortex lasers with 1, 2, and 3 topological charges successfully generated in an optical parametric chirped pulse amplification system. A clean intensity node at the beam center is observed and highly stable propagation in free space is demonstrated. Moreover, this high-energy vortex pulse is spectrally broadened in multiple thin plates and temporally compressed to 10.59 fs (2.2 optical cycles) with chirped mirrors, corresponding to a peak power of 1.08 TW, while highly preserving the vortex information. We believe that the generated high-energy few-cycle vortex laser has important applications from vortex optics to strong-field physics.
METAPHOR OF WAR IN AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN MEDIA DISCOURSE: A CASE STUDY OF THE 2022 RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE
Authors: Pawliszko Judyta
Published: December 2023

The aim of this article is to analyse the use of war metaphors in the articles published on February 24, 2022, by the "New York Times" and the "Moscow Times" thematising Russian aggression against Ukraine. Building on Lakoff and Johnson's theory of conceptual metaphor, we observe how war and its various aspects are conceptualised metaphorically in the media discourse. The analysis confirms opposing ideological viewpoints on the Russian-Ukrainian war presented in the two online newspapers that shape public opinion and influence global narratives.

Local Practical Religious Moderation in Indonesia
Authors: Nugroho Fibry Jati , Sari Dwi Novita
Published: December 2023

This paper is a qualitative study that describes the phenomenon of religious moderation in the Getasan District, Semarang Regency, Central Java Province. Many mass media highlight the high tolerance in the Getasan area, which makes it interesting to investigate it deeper related to religious management in the community. By using the analysis of Miles and Huberman and mixing it with the perspective of Citizenship Pluralism, the results showed that Christian religious leaders taught church members about three things, including doctrinal teaching that educated the law of love as their foundation, contextualization by mixing and matching culture in the development of faith and social devotion in terms of religiosity in society. From the perspective of civic pluralism, Christian religious leaders carried out recognition, representation, and redistribution as a way of teaching religious moderation in society, which aims to create social harmony in society. A good understanding of religious moderation, by linking religious texts and religious contexts, then internalizing it into their daily lives, makes church members have an important role in creating harmony in the community in Getasan District, Semarang Regency.

Проведен эксперимент по регистрации сигнального радиопрофиля, представлено его аналитическое выражение и выполнен корреляционный анализ исходного и восстановленного сигнального радиопрофиля. Представлена обобщенная методика проведения радиосенсорной технической диагностики с локализацией неисправности. На примере элемента системы «умный дом» – контроллера отопления с намеренно введенными неисправностями в его релейный блок управления – показана возможность определения и локализации неисправности на ранней стадии возникновения.

The paper shows the possibility of localizing a malfunction of a complex hardware-software electronic tool with a new method of radio-sensor technical diagnostics. A method is presented for registering the electrical component of the electromagnetic field – the signal radio profile of a radioelectronic unit emitted by the radio-electronic device itself. An experiment was carried out to register the signal radio profile, its analytical expression was presented, and a correlation analysis of the original and reconstructed signal radio profile was performed. A generalized technique for conducting radiosensor technical diagnostics with fault localization is presented. Using the example of an element of the “smart home” system – a heating controller with intentionally introduced malfunctions into its relay control unit, the possibility of detecting and localizing a malfunction at an early stage of occurrence is shown.

Представлен метод кодирования речи, который назван модифицированной многополосной моделью возбуждения. В предлагаемом методе при анализе речи параметры модели оцениваются путем явного сравнения исходного речевого спектра с синтезированным речевым спектром. Разработаны точные и надежные методы оценки параметров этой модели, позволяющие объявлять полосу вокруг каждой основной частоты вокализованной или невокализованной и более надежно оценивать высоту основного тона.

A method of speech encoding is presented, which is called a modified multiband excitation model. In the proposed method, when analyzing speech, the parameters of the model are estimated by explicitly comparing the original peech spectrum with the synthesized speech spectrum. Accurate and reliable methods for estimating the parameters of this model have been developed, allowing to declare the band around each fundamental voiced or unvoiced frequency and to more reliably estimate the pitch.

Inhärente Transdisziplinarität?! Grenzarbeit (in) der Erziehungswissenschaft
Authors: Kondratjuk Maria
Published: December 2023

Die Autorin stellt die Frage, ob Transdisziplinarität ein inhärentes Merkmal der Erziehungswissenschaft ist und wie Grenzen und deren Bearbeitung in der Erziehungswissenschaft kategorial wie empirisch zu greifen sind. In der Thematisierung von Disziplinarität und Inter- und Transdisziplinarität können die (neuen) Grenzen der Formierung und Konturierung von disziplinären Wissensordnungen und ihre jeweiligen gesellschaftlichen und disziplinären Außenverhältnisse analytisch bearbeitet werden.

Zur Pädagogisierungstendenz der erziehungswissenschaftlichen Lehre. Manifeste und latente Sinnstrukturen im Interaktionszusammenhang
Authors: König Hannes
Published: December 2023

Der Autor betrachtet einen nur wenig beachteten Gegenstand erziehungswissenschaftlicher Wissenschaftsforschung. Er untersucht die manifesten und latenten Sinnstrukturen der erziehungswissenschaftlichen Lehre am Beispiel eines allgemein-pädagogischen Lehrangebots im Rahmen des Lehramtsstudiums. König zeigt, dass sich die traditionelle Thematisierung der Spannung von Wissenschaftlichkeit und gleichzeitigem Anspruch und Versprechen pädagogischer Praxisrelevanz in der universitären Lehre rekonstruieren lässt.

When Missions Fail: Lessons in ‘High Technology’ From Post-War Britain
Authors: Kelsey Tom
Published: December 2023

The idea that national security and economic prosperity stem from being at the technological frontier (‘techno-nationalism’) is once again a dominant feature of global politics. The post-war United States has emerged as the key model in these discussions, with the ‘moonshot’ seen as an outstanding example of how to direct state resources towards technological breakthroughs, while the capacity of the American government is praised more generally for its ability to sponsor ground-breaking technology. This paper, however, suggests that the United States was the exception, not the rule, and that the failures of post-war Britain highlight the limitations of ‘techno-nationalism’ with vivid clarity. During the 1950s and 1960s, the British state took long-term bets on securing a leading role in the world’s technological future, specifically in the areas of supersonic flight via Concorde and nuclear power generation. The result, however, was not export glory but industrial calamity. These long-running programmes were eventually cut back in the 1970s, when it became accepted in Whitehall that Britain should no longer try to be the Science and Tech Superpower, attempting to leapfrog the United States to technological glory. Understanding this trajectory in Britain dislodges the sense that focusing on emerging technology and the long term is a silver bullet in policymaking. We must appreciate that the realities of technological power matter, and grasp that the post-war US was an unrepresentative case: no country today will have the relative level of industrial and technological might that it enjoyed at that time. While my arguments will resonate in other national contexts, my focus is on ensuring that any strategy for ‘high technology’ in the UK today continues to learn the lessons from the errors of the post-war period. It must be wary of expert capture within the state. It must also think about industrial strategy in an integrated way, across national security, economics, and foreign policy, with a policymaking machinery set up to deal with this level of complexity. Moreover, despite the attention afforded to national state funding, the UK should continue to see forging alliances as essential alongside working with international business and be clear-eyed about where it does and does not need to sustain national capabilities.
Propuesta de un modelo de gestión turística sostenible para el destino La Esperanza e Intibucá, Honduras
Authors:   , Mejía Chacón Grethel María
Published: December 2023

El turismo se ha convertido en una de las mayores industrias del mundo y los ingresos generados por el mismo suponen un reglón importante de la economía mundial. Honduras ha sido privilegiado por un extraordinario patrimonio natural y cultural: cuenta con las Islas de la Bahía, rodeadas por el segundo arrecife de coral más grande del mundo, Copán considerada como la Atenas del Nuevo Mundo, playas caribeñas de inigualable belleza, naturaleza exuberante, ciudades coloniales y milenarias culturas vivas. En definitiva, un enorme potencial turístico que en el corto plazo debe ser desarrollado en forma responsable, sostenible y equilibrada. El turismo es un pilar clave que dinamiza el desarrollo local de diferentes regiones de Honduras y el mundo. Varios destinos turísticos han implementado actividades relacionadas con sostenibilidad para generar mayor conciencia tanto en los turistas como en los actores involucrados en el rubro. Diversos agentes (públicos y privados) a través de mecanismos como: políticas locales, planes de desarrollo, programas y actividades regionales, han puesto en marcha el desarrollo local de los destinos. En este sentido, el presente trabajo de tesis está enfocado en proponer un Modelo de Gestión Turística Sostenible, dirigido a los gobiernos locales de cada municipio (La Esperanza e Intibucá). Dichas entidades forman parte importante y clave en la cadena de valor de turismo. El propósito que impulsa la investigación es analizar la situación actual de la actividad turística en La Esperanza e Intibucá (municipios ubicados en el occidente de Honduras); con el fin de construir el Modelo de Gestión Turística Sostenible que propone estrategias y líneas de acción concretas para potenciar el crecimiento del rubro turístico, mejorar la economía, la calidad de vida de los pobladores, la conservación de los recursos naturales y culturales y cumplir los objetivos planteados. La metodología de la investigación se basa en el enfoque cualitativo, se exploraron y analizaron los fenómenos de la actividad turística actual en el destino. El proceso se llevó a cabo de manera inductiva, analizando las múltiples realidades subjetivas, lo que permitió tener suficiente información para la interpretación y contextualizar el fenómeno. Asimismo se efectuó una revisión de la literatura siendo parte complementaria e importante para poder consecuentemente construir el MGTS para el destino en estudio. El trabajo de campo fue realizado durante el mes de agosto del 2020, a través de un grupo focal virtual con actores involucrados en el rubro y mediante entrevistas personales a los directores y dueños de establecimientos hoteleros. La investigación fue satisfactoria al haber podido recopilar la información necesaria y concluir que ambos gobiernos locales deben incluir en sus planes de desarrollo económico local, un Modelo de Gestión Turística Sostenible para un oportuno desarrollo del rubro turístico en los municipios de La Esperanza e Intibucá.

ScAlN has garnered substantial attention for its robust piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties, holding promise for diverse electronic device applications. However, the interplay between its structural attributes and physical properties remains poorly understood. This study systematically elucidates the structural characteristics of epitaxial ScAlN films grown on GaN by low-temperature sputtering. Correlations between Sc composition, lattice constants, and film strains were revealed utilizing high-resolution X-ray diffraction, reciprocal space mapping, and machine learning analyses. Our machine-learning model predicted c-axis lattice constants of ScAlN grown on GaN under various conditions and suggested that sputtering permits coherent growth over a wide compositional range. These findings advance the understanding of ScAlN and provide valuable insights for the research and development of novel ScAlN-based devices.
