Market transformations in the development of land relations (experience of Canada and Scotland)
Authors: Ignatenko I. V.
Published: April 2024

The development of land relations today remains one of the most important tasks of Ukraine. The priority directions for the development of such relations are the creation of conditions for the inclusion of land to the economic circulation and the regulation of land relations in combination with the increase of budget revenues of all levels from the use of land.

In modern conditions, the land policy of developed countries creates mechanisms for regulating the land market with a multifaceted socio-economic content. This complex process is accompanied by the reform of land relations. Effective management of land resources ensures the development of the land market. Discussions regarding the creation of a full-fledged land market in Ukraine are still ongoing. Analysis of foreign experience will allow to transform land relations in Ukraine.

Natural resources are diverse, but land is becoming an increasingly valuable resource for most countries. They are trying to achieve high rates of economic growth, which, in turn, are related to the development of land resources. It often turns out that such «development» is connected with the seizure of a million hectares of agricultural land by rich corporations or even foreign states. Deprivation of rights to land claims the status of the most famous and, at the same time, little-researched form of deprivation of rights not only in modern literature devoted to «land grabbing», but also in classical theory in general. The article discusses the factors contributing to «land grabbing». Global factors causing similar processes in Canada and Scotland, current consequences, future risks are identified. It was established that the factors of «grabbing of land» for agricultural purposes are of different nature. This is a significant price differentiation on the land market, and the increase in the investment attractiveness of agricultural land, the consequences of privatization and land consolidation. The leading role of the state in the investment process and the existence of a strategy for spreading the influence of the countries in question, which is implemented in parallel with the purchase of land, are shown.
Impact of globalization on the tax system of countries
Authors: Pyroha S. S.
Published: April 2024

Globalization of the economy and the departure from the principle of taxation at the source, as well as the improper definition of the concept of “resident” create prerequisites for the profits shifting and require the conclusion of agreements on the avoidance of double taxation between countries. To solve artificially created taxation problems, the OECD has developed a plan to avoid erosion of the tax base and profit shifting (BEPS plan), which includes 15 Actions. The purpose of this work is to investigate the causes and methods of profit shifting and to determine adequate measures to prevent abuse. Two methods of profit shifting are studied: thin capitalization and transfer pricing. The right to deduct interest on loans generates four problems – profit shifting, creation of fictitious companies, costs imitation of control of thin capitalization and corrupt redistribution of income. All problems of thin capitalization are solved simply – by canceling the deduction of interest from the taxable base. No deductions – no problems. Deduction interest from profit pre-tax is possible, but at the rates at which banks of the borrower’s country provide loans to their residents. The deduction rate may be limited to 5% maximum. In this case, double taxation agreements are not required. The best alternative to transfer pricing is to determine the results of the enterprise’s activity by the amount created added value, which can be calculated by the amount of taxes paid from the wage fund and profit and VAT. This approach ensures payment of the appropriate amount of taxes, give you permission to accurately determine the consolidated profit of the MNC. The distribution of consolidated profit is proposed to be carried out according to a formula that includes a single criterion. The fair share of the consolidated profit, which corresponds to the contribution of each member of the MNC to the final result, is determined by the ratio of the wage fund to the profit.
Determinants of criminal offenses related to corruption
Authors: Nykyforenko N. A.
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to analysis of socio-economic, socio-political, organizational-management, legal and cultural-psychological determinants that determine the occurrence and spread of criminal offenses related to corruption.

The system of such determinants has been defined, which outlines as fully as possible various aspects that can contribute to the emergence and spread of criminal offenses related to corruption in society. It includes socio-economic factors (insufficient level of economic and social security of the subject of the declaration), socio-political factors (international armed conflict and lack of political will to combat corruption), organizational and management factors (failure of prevention subjects to take necessary and sufficient measures to provision of explanations of anti-corruption legislation, notification of the subject of the declaration about the need to submit a declaration and the deadline for such submission, difficulties in proving declaration of inaccurate information), legal (excessive complexity of the norms of anti-corruption legislation in the part of declaration, which causes difficulties in their interpretation and application, imperfection of the grounds of responsibility for failure to submit a declaration or declaration of inaccurate information, limitations of the legislator regarding the terms and number of opportunities to submit a corrected declaration), cultural and psychological (low level of moral and ethical standards in the activities of state authorities and local self-government bodies, tolerance of corruption in society, mental dependence of individual subjects declaration from corrupt practices).

It is argued that the proposed system of determinants outlines as fully as possible the various aspects that can contribute to the emergence and spread of criminal offenses related to corruption in society. At the same time, the specified system necessitates the application of a comprehensive approach to the elimination of the specified determinants, which cover almost all spheres of society’s vital activities.
Self-taxation as a form of participation of citizens in expenditures of the territorial community: the experience of the Republic of Poland
Authors: Babin I. I.
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the Polish experience of legal regulation of self-taxation as a form of citizen’s participation in local community expenditures. It is shown that the Institute of self- taxation in the Republic of Poland has a long history. Borrowed in the 1950s in the USSR, it continues to be successfully used today as a tool to further mobilize financial resources to address local issues. The peculiarities and mechanism of establishing self-taxation are disclosed. It is shown that today the mechanism of establishing self-taxation is significantly complicated and the only acceptable form of its introduction is a local referendum. The author emphasizes the existence in Polish law and the financial and legal doctrine of a clear position on the distinction between self-taxation and taxes. Self-taxation is intrinsic to the target character, its own form of legalization, its own entity and its voluntary nature.

It is substantiated that self-taxation is an independent form of non-taxable compulsory payment and is used to resolve issues of local importance, its size and order of introduction and use are determined independently by the population in a local referendum. At the same time, local referendums for Poland remain a rare occurrence. This is due to both the cost and the complexity of the procedure. In addition, the widespread use of self-tax referendums was blocked by court decisions and the opinion of financial law experts, who stated that the self-tax institute in its current form had no legal basis.

The analysis shows that the Polish communities most often use self-taxation of the population for the purposes related to the construction of infrastructure networks (water and sewerage networks) or municipal waste management (sorting, disposal and storage). Introducing self-taxation is essential for the development of territorial communities. Self-taxation allows territorial communities to receive additional funds, increase civic activity of residents, and increase the level of responsibility of local self-government bodies.
A person’s right to be forgotten
Authors: Byelov D. M. , Bielova M. V. , Gornylo O. T.
Published: April 2024

The article examines in detail the concept of “a person’s right to be forgotten” as an important aspect of a natural person’s right to information about himself, which allows a person to demand the removal or destruction of his personal information. The question is also devoted to the main aspects of the history and development of the “right to be forgotten” concept.

The author states that a significant contribution to the regulation of the right to be forgotten within the framework of the legislation on personal data protection was made by the European Union. After all, EU Regulation 2016/679 defines the conditions for obtaining this right, the conditions for fulfilling requests to delete information about yourself, and the circumstances under which this right may be limited. However, this Regulation does not take into account the entire amount of personal information, which complicates the process of realizing the human right to be forgotten.

It has been determined that different countries develop their own approaches to the right to be forgotten. It was found that the current legislation of Ukraine provides for two stages of “forgetting”: a court decision and filing a complaint for violation of the terms of consent to the processing and storage of personal data.

At the same time, the decision of the European Court, which became key in the world judicial practice regarding the human right to be forgotten, was considered. In addition, the balance between the right to be forgotten and freedom of information is described. The public interest and ethical aspects in the context of the right to be forgotten are studied. The need for transparency and a balanced approach to the researched law is substantiated.

The technical aspects of the human right to be forgotten and the challenges they generate are also described. The complexity of technical data deletion and the challenges of data caching and indexing have been studied. The general aspects of ensuring the security and protection of data during deletion are identified, as well as the impact of artificial intelligence and automation on the human right to be forgotten.
neuroarquitetura e a investigação do caráter terapêutico do espaço
Authors: Alves Lucas Silva , Celaschi Carolina Menzl
Published: April 2024

A forma como o espaço interfere na percepção é complexa, já que se associa ao indivíduo. Mas se a experiência é múltipla, o sistema que estrutura essa subjetividade na mente humana, contrariamente, tem delimitações mais bem definidas. O estudo busca explorar a interação entre a arquitetura e o funcionamento cerebral através da aplicação da neurociência às edificações – denominada neuroarquitetura –; investigando como o ambiente construído influencia a percepção e o comportamento humano, e como o potencial terapêutico do espaço atua na promoção do bem-estar físico e mental. Para tanto, utiliza-se uma abordagem teórico-exploratória, combinando elementos de pesquisa teórica e exploratória para aprimorar a compreensão do tema. A análise crítica e a síntese das informações existentes na literatura científica disponível foram expostas em duas seções principais: arquitetura e mente, abordando como as emoções, o movimento e a luz interferem na percepção do lugar; e o potencial terapêutico do espaço, tratando como os atributos arquitetônicos afetam a saúde e qualidade de vida humana. Análises conclusivas apontam para formalização da neuroarquitetura como ferramenta eficaz na investigação da relação espaço-mente, possibilitada pelo avanço tecnológico no mapeamento cerebral; e para o reconhecimento do poder terapêutico do espaço, muito além da minimização dos efeitos negativos sobre o indivíduo, também em comprovados benefícios restaurativos da saúde.

Published: April 2024

Este artigo objetiva analisar a incidência de oferta de imóveis Airbnb na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, de modo a verificar uma potencial inversão das unidades disponibilizadas ao mercado de aluguel de longa duração para a plataforma. A partir de uma abordagem exploratória, foram coletados os dados censitários referentes aos domicílios particulares permanentes do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. Os dados quantitativos dos anúncios do Airbnb e suas características tipológicas e espaciais foram obtidas no site Inside Airbnb. Foram ainda coletadas informações de renda dos moradores e valores de aluguel por metro quadrado nos bairros da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. À luz da dinâmica intraurbana, notou-se predomínio de unidades inteiras na zona sul da cidade, podendo-se inferir fuga de imóveis do mercado de aluguéis à plataforma. Na região central, destaca-se grande oferta de imóveis compartilhados, revelando uma expressividade menor aos aluguéis, enquanto na zona oeste destacam-se imóveis inteiros e áreas completamente capturadas pela plataforma, que deixaram de ir para o mercado, permitindo inferir repercussões negativas à dinâmica imobiliária e provável atualização do caráter rentista.
Eigenvalue-Based Incremental Spectral Clustering
Authors: Kłopotek Mieczysław A. , Starosta Bartłomiej , Wierzchoń Sławomir T.
Published: April 2024

Our previous experiments demonstrated that subsets of collections of (short) documents (with several hundred entries) share a common, normalized in some way, eigenvalue spectrum of combinatorial Laplacian. Based on this insight, we propose a method of incremental spectral clustering. The method consists of the following steps: (1) split the data into manageable subsets, (2) cluster each of the subsets, (3) merge clusters from different subsets based on the eigenvalue spectrum similarity to form clusters of the entire set. This method can be especially useful for clustering methods of complexity strongly increasing with the size of the data sample, like in case of typical spectral clustering. Experiments were performed showing that in fact the clustering and merging of subsets yield clusters close to clustering of the entire dataset. Our approach differs from other research streams in that we rely on the entire set (spectrum) of eigenvalues, whereas the other researchers concentrate on few eigenvectors related to lowest eigenvalues. Such eigenvectors are considered in the literature as of low reliability.
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Profitability Indicators in the Hospitality Sector
Authors: Vojtekova Simona , Kliestik Tomas
Published: April 2024

Many business entities in Slovakia felt the pressure of government restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially entities from SK NACE I: accommodation and food services activities. The main objective of this article is to analyse the return on equity, assets and sales in selected sectors in Slovakia and find out if the Covid-19 pandemic has an effect on these profitability ratios. Firstly, we use ex-post financial analyses and then Friedman’s nonparametric test to find those groups of years between which there are differences. The study period 2016-2021 includes comparisons before the Covid-19 period, as well as dealing with the pandemic era. Our investigation concerns 321 business entities from SK NACE I, especially from Division 56: Food and beverage service activities. The findings showed the impact of the pandemic on profitability indicators such as total assets, equity, and sales. Therefore, it was feasible to establish that these are the indicators most affected by the pandemic, such as the economic outcome after taxes, assets, equity, and sales. Additionally, significant differences in indicators were confirmed in the pairs of years 2019–2020 and 2019–2021. Significant changes were confirmed between the years provided, which may most likely be attributed to the outbreak of the pandemic of the viral disease Covid-19. This study and its results may have added value for the management of business entities and the government of the Slovak Republic by stimulating the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on firms in these sectors.
Employer Branding – Employer Attractiveness as a New Mindset in the Healthcare Sector
Authors: Heide Michael P. , Schröder Stefan , Wittemann Nathalie , Don Philomena
Published: April 2024

The shortage of skilled labour, demographic change and ever-increasing cost pressures are presenting healthcare organisations with key challenges in the areas of strategy, leadership and portfolio management. In the Federal Republic of Germany, there is an acute shortage of skilled workers in 352 of 801 occupational groups (44% of all occupational groups). Effective employer branding is the only way to sustainably increase employer attractiveness and generate competitive advantages on the labour market. Employer branding is the identity-based development and positioning of a company as an attractive employer. The aim of the article is to identify relevant characteristics of employer attractiveness, which can be located in particular in the perception of IT specialists. The identification of these characteristics should help organizations to optimize their personnel policy in the long term. The authors chose the mixed-methods research approach. The hypothesis system is conceptualized and operationalized within the framework of structural equation modelling (SEM). The practical relevance of the findings from the quantitative research is examined in expert interviews. The data analysis is based on qualitative content analysis according to Kuckartz. Due to the research background, data collection is limited to the EU member state Germany. The shift in the balance of power in the labour market towards employees is not a development that can be limited to Europe. In a globalized world, companies have access to a wider talent pool, but are also exposed to increased competition for the best talent. A strong employer brand enables companies to stand out and attract top talent. The empirical results show that a positively perceived employer attractiveness can achieve the employer branding goals of recruiting employees and retaining them in the long term. The clever combination of tangible and intangible benefits, embedded in a modern corporate and error culture (mindset), is decisive in determining whether qualitative growth of the organization is possible.
Municipal Wastewater Quality Control: Heavy Metal Comparative Analysis—Case Study
Authors: Halecki Wiktor , Sionkowski Tomasz , Chmielowski Krzysztof , Kowalczyk Agnieszka , Kalarus Konrad
Published: April 2024

A comparative analysis was conducted on raw and treated wastewater and the concentrations of heavy metals in sewage sludge from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The research aimed to demonstrate improved efficiency in reducing heavy metal levels as a part of municipal and industrial waste management, with a specific emphasis on minimising the overall environmental impact. In this study, we presented the results of a repeated measures analysis of variance and assessed compliance with heavy metal content standards in sewage sludge from municipal treatment using a one-sample t-test against a reference norm. The analysis included measurements conducted between 2004 and 2015. We conducted an analysis of heavy metals, including zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), and nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn) and mercury (Hg). High Zn concentration that we observed in pre-treatment wastewater raised important questions. Leakages in sewage networks can result in contaminants infiltrating the wastewater, thereby increasing pollutant concentrations. Elevated concentrations can stem from industrial activities, where Zn and pollutants are discharged into wastewater as byproducts of industrial operations. The study illustrated the attainment of the highest sanitary standards, ensuring that treatment processes effectively eliminate harmful toxic substances, ultimately guaranteeing that the final product is safe for further reclamation processes.

Authors: Lorenc Wojciech , Kożuch Maciej
Published: April 2024

Composite dowels opened new possibilities for engineers designing composite structures. The fundamental and most important characteristic of composite dowels is the shape of the cutting pattern (called line). It is important to understand why only one particular shape of the cutting line, the modified clothoidal (MCL) shape, is being used in bridge engineering, while so many different shapes have been investigated by many researchers. The essential part of the process of developing composite dowels – the development of shape of the cutting line – is presented in this paper. The investigation, development, and evolution of the MCL shape, which is the final form of composite dowels for bridges and has been widely introduced in bridge engineering, are presented. The results of comparative tests of different shapes under cyclic loads are discussed. The background for the design formulas for the steel part and the fabrication aspects are highlighted.

Published: April 2024

Although research topics related to gender influence are quite common, there are still inconsistencies in the results Many countries have implemented gender quotas on company boards, whereas Indonesia has not adopted this policy yet. So this research was conducted to determine the influence of female directors and commissioners on company performance as well as the influence of the moderating variable of women on the board with accounting qualifications. This research uses a purposive sampling method. The objects of this research are all non-financial companies listed on the IDX from 2018 to 2022, accompanied by purposive sampling criteria. This research applies panel data regression analysis methods and uses the SPSS and EViews statistical programs. The results of this research found that female directors and commissioners do not have a positive influence on company performance. Meanwhile, moderating variables can moderate the relationship between independent and dependent variables. However, the direction of moderation obtained shows opposite results to previous research. This can occur due to investor bias, where investors feel unsure about the competence of female board members.
The use of Internet resources in historical research
Authors: Mikheeva Vitalina Vladimirovna
Published: April 2024

Computer technology has long been an integral part of our lives. The information resource of mankind is constantly growing, being updated and replenished, and benefits professionals of any specialization. Currently, the Internet has turned into a vast information space, into an immeasurable repository. In this repository, information of various kinds (scientific, business, educational, text, audio and video information) is publicly available and is constantly being enriched, there are virtual archives, libraries, and news feeds. The worldwide information network has connected not only individual researchers, but also numerous scientific organizations around the world. The object of the research is the analysis of Internet resources and the application of their potential in the field of historical knowledge. The subject of the research is the analysis of the Internet as a modern information environment of historical science, the use of Internet capabilities in historical research, as well as in historical education. The following methods were used in writing the work: historicism, historical-comparative, historical-genetic. This made it possible to discover potential Internet resources in the field of historical research. When writing the work, the author conducted a study, during which more than 300 sites and Web pages on the history of Russia and world history, located on various servers, were analyzed. The author gave a description of the main groups of sources represented on the Internet, and proposed his own classification of professional resources. He also focused on the characteristics of resources created by Academic organizations, the search for special articles and books, historical multimedia resources, collections of encyclopedias and dictionaries, anthologies, the use of blogs and forums, as well as file-sharing networks to search for historical information. Internet bibliographic resources, electronic catalogs, and meta-search bibliographic systems are also highlighted. Special attention is paid to the methods of more effective search for historical information, a new search concept is proposed.
The socio-political situation in Greece according to the report of the Swedish diplomatic mission from Constantinople (August 1916)
Authors: Kostrikov Sergey Petrovich
Published: April 2024

The subject of the study is a report from the Swedish diplomatic mission in Constantinople, transmitted to the envoy of the Swedish Kingdom in St. Petersburg, considered as an important source on the socio-political situation in Greece with an assessment of possible prospects for its development. The report contains information concerning the most serious disagreements and irreconcilable contradictions between supporters of the Germanophile position led by King Constantine and supporters of the prominent liberal politician E. Venizelos, who repeatedly headed the Greek government. The latter openly advocated cooperation with the Entente countries, primarily Great Britain, for the landing of a contingent of allied troops in Greece to help the Serbian army and prevent the troops of the central powers. The period of the beginning of a series of uprisings in continental Greece and on the Greek islands of the king's policy is described. Based on the methods of historicism and systematic research, the issues of the very complicated situation around Greece as one of the most important players in the Balkans, the problems of the Thessaloniki Front, the military and diplomatic actions of the Entente allies in the region, the assessment of the situation by Swedish diplomats and their forecasts are considered. The analysis of the considered source allows us to draw the following conclusions. The materials of the report under study, together with other information, created a three-dimensional picture of events in Greece for the Swedish government in order to take any measures and take the necessary position from the point of view of the country's interests. This report was also important for our military and diplomatic authorities to understand the Swedish side's reaction to the events in Greece, to see their objective assessment of the outcome of this situation, and of the entire world war as a whole. The information obtained from this source gave Russian diplomacy the opportunity to use them in its relations with partners and have an idea of the prospects for the development of the situation in the Balkans.
Kinematic Batch Estimator for Angular Velocity and Associated Uncertainty
Authors: Kaki Siddarth , Akella Maruthi R.
Published: April 2024

Estimating the relative pose and angular velocity of an uncooperative space object is a critical component for many applications such as on-orbit assembly, inspection, and servicing. This paper presents new mathematical insights that permit a kinematic batch filter formulation for angular velocity estimation using quaternion measurements for relative orientation, thereby eliminating the need to know the moment of inertia of the target. In particular, a novel batch approach to computing the associated uncertainties for the angular velocity magnitude, spin-axis direction, and overall angular velocity vector estimates is presented and compared against previous recursive methodologies. Finally, a realistic use-case scenario is demonstrated in real-time on flightlike hardware.
Modeling and Path-Following Control for Dubins Dynamics in Complex State Space
Authors: Lavretsky Eugene
Published: April 2024

A path-following control design in the complex state space for the Dubins vehicle is proposed. The vehicle dynamics are modeled as a bilinear system of two complex ordinary differential equations with a scalar complex control input. The developed control solution represents a feedback linearizing proportional–integral–derivative servomechanism, with real valued control gains applied to complex valued tracking error components. The design is performed within the model reference control framework. It is applied to solving path-following and waypoint routing problems for curves with bounded curvature and vehicles with bounded speeds. The path-following controller regulates the system turn rate and the reference model speed. The vehicle speed dynamics are independently maintained as desired. In that regard, the developed control policy forces the system position to track a virtual target point defined by the reference model. Verifiable sufficient conditions are formulated to enable steering the Dubins vehicle along the designated routes in the presence of unknown bounded environmental disturbances, such as wind and gust. Application examples of the developed path-following control solution to waypoint routing guidance for unmanned aerial platforms are discussed.

Diyadin (Ağrı) Doğal Traverten Köprülerinin Jeomorfolojisi ve Oluşumları, Doğu Anadolu, Türkiye
Authors: Polat Selahattin , Ege İsmail
Published: April 2024

Bu çalışma Murat ırmağı üzerindeki ender yer şekillerinden iki doğal köprünün jeomorfolojik özellikleri ve oluşumları üzerinde etkili olan faktörleri, ayrıca bu köprüler ile ilgili başlıca problemleri, köprülerin korunmasına yönelik yapılması gereken çalışmaları ve jeomiras olarak önemini ortaya koymayı amaçlamıştır. Çok özel jeomorfolojik süreçler sonucunda oluşan doğal köprüler, Diyadin (Ağrı) İlçesi’nin güneyinde Dibekli-Mollakara-Tazekent-Davut-Göğebakan-Taşbasamak köyleri arasında Diyadin Jeotermal Alanı (DJA) olarak adlandırabileceğimiz sahada Murat Irmağı üzerinde yer almaktadır.

Sahada arazi gözlemleri yapılmış; jeolojik, jeomorfolojik ve tektonik özellikler incelenmiş, lazermetre ile alandaki traverten sırtları, konileri ve bacaları gibi traverten birikim şekillerinin özelliklerini ortaya koymaya yönelik olarak yükseltileri, uzunlukları ve genişlikleri ölçülmüş GPS ile koordinatları alınmıştır. Literatür çalışması gerçekleştirilerek, arazi çalışmalarında elde edilen sayısal verilerin doğrultusunda ArcGIS 10.8 paket yazılımı ile jeomorfoloji haritası üretilmiştir.

Murat Irmağı üzerinde Köprüçermik Köprüsü KKB-GGD yönünde 64 m uzunluğundadır. Köprünün üst kesiminde genişliği 9,5-21 m arasında değişir. Murat Irmağı, köprü altında 7 m genişliğe sahip bir yatakta akış göstermektedir. Köprüyü oluşturan travertenlerin kalınlığı giriş kısmında 15 m, çıkış kısmında ise 22 m’dir. Traverten çökelimi köprünün giriş kısmının doğu yamaçında devam etmektedir.

Köprüçermik Köprüsü’nün kuzeyinde yöre halkının “Kudret Köprüsü” adını verdiği doğal bir köprü bulunmaktadır. Murat ırmağı doğusundaki ve batısındaki yerleşmeleri birbirine bağlayan karayolu köprüsü olarak kullanılan köprünün genişliği 30 m, uzunluğu ise 63 metredir. Köprü, KKB-GGD istikametinde uzanan traverten sırtının KKB ucuna yakın kısmında açılmıştır. Bu doğal traverten köprülerden Köprüçermik Köprüsü, dünyada oluşum bakımından ender özelliklere sahiptir. Murat Irmağı iki kenarında, tektonik hatlar boyunca yüzeye çıkan termal suların oluşturduğu farklı doğrultulardaki traverten sırtlarının önce dikey yönde yükselti kazanmaları, daha sonra ise bu sırtların karşılıklı olarak akarsu yatağı üzerinde yatay yönde gelişmeleri ile oluşmuştur. Kudret Köprüsü ise Murat Irmağı’nın traverten sırtını alttan oyması ve daha sonra genişletmesi ile açılmıştır.

Kudret Köprüsü fosil traverten köprüsü olup kısmen ilksel morfolojisini kaybetmiştir. Sahadaki diğer traverten birikim şekillerinde (koni, teras, baca, sırt gibi) olduğu gibi traverten köprüleri de doğal ve antropojenik kökenli çeşitli tehditler ile karşı karşıyadır. Diyadin Jeotermal Alanı (DJA) ‘ndaki bu birikim şekilleri karstik jeomiras olarak koruma altına alınmalı ve saha jeopark alanı olarak ilan edilmelidir.
Muséologie sociale et genre
Authors: Rechena Aida
Published: April 2024

Penser la muséologie sociale à partir d’une perspective de genre est le défi que cherche à relever ce texte. Face au constat de la persistance des inégalités entre hommes et femmes en de nombreux contextes, est discutée la question suivante : comment la muséologie sociale peut-elle contribuer à atteindre une égalité de fait entre les femmes et les hommes ? Sur la base de la conception d’une muséologie sociale intégrant une perspective de genre, le texte s’emploie à étendre le champ d’étude des musées et des catégories patrimoniales à des segments considérés comme marginaux, contribuant à l’élargissement des possibilités de recherche sur des questions contemporaines socialement engagées.
La nouvelle muséologie et les mouvements sociaux au Portugal
Authors: Pereira Leite Pedro
Published: April 2024

Cet article traite des mouvements sociaux dans le monde, en portant une attention particulière au cas du Portugal. Il défend l’idée selon laquelle les mouvements sociaux, qui se déploient en de multiples directions, sont des lieux privilégiés pour l’observation des transformations sociales. L’auteur met en évidence le potentiel créatif qui émerge de l’action sociale et des espaces contemporains à travers lesquels la tension sociale déborde et se manifeste, notamment par le biais des réseaux mondiaux de communication. L’argument principal est que les pratiques des mouvements sociaux conduisent à de nouvelles relations avec le patrimoine, ce qui amène l’auteur à s’interroger sur la capacité du mouvement de la muséologie sociale à faire face aux défis actuels. Le texte se concentre sur l’émergence du Mouvement international pour une nouvelle muséologie (MINOM), retraçant la trajectoire de celui-ci jusqu’en 2013, à l’occasion de sa XVIe réunion internationale qui s’est tenue à Rio de Janeiro. Sur la base de ces éléments, enfin, sont problématisés la place et le développement de la muséologie sociale au Portugal.

A field experiment was carried out in the fields belonging to the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering Sciences /University of Baghdad-Jadriya during the season 2020-2021 in order to study the genetic variations of varieties of oats under lack of irrigation. The experiment was carried out using the design of complete random sectors and the distribution of splintered panels and two factors, the first was the treatment of irrigation at the arrival of humidity ( 50%, 25% and 10%), while the second factor was the varieties (Genzania, Anatolia, plmulao Algoda and healing ) the experiment was carried out three times. The results showed that the third irrigation level exceeded the number of days of planting up to 75% flowering in the second irrigation treatment gave the highest averages for all other qualities studied, and the V4 variety gave the highest average for all qualities except for the weight of 250 grains. . While there was a significant significant difference for the second irrigation level in the values of genetic variation for all accuracy except for the single trait, while we note that accuracy is the number of branches and the total number of branches only and it was highly effective at the first irrigation level. Later, the effect was good at the second irrigation level. The difference is in appearance. It is noted that the values at the second level of road types, except for the obtained characteristic and the nature ratio, gave the second level of irrigation the highest average for most types of resistance. Why is it not different from what was mentioned above, which did not adopt a study of scientific variations in the expected researchers, as you would expect, the second irrigation and the V4 variety, which recorded the highest averages for the characteristics that were studied.

Elastography is a new step in diagnostic medicine. This technique makes it possible to measure stiffness of the thyroid gland. Methods: In our study we conducted a cohort study of 141 children and adolescents aged 4-18 years with a suspected or known thyroid disease. Using a Siemens Acuson S3000 we examined thyroid glands both in longitudinal and cross-section. Results: With increasing tissue changes in the B-Mode of the sonography, the ARFI Velocity increases. This resulted in the average speed of 1.61 +/- 0.36 m/s, however the results of the longitudinal measuring sections proved to be more reliable. It showed a difference between the left and the right lobe, which was particularly noticeable in the cross section measurement. With the increase of vascularization, the ARFI values were initially decreasing and ultimately increasing when vascularization was extreme. A reliable Assessment of clinical presentations using elastography is not possible. The volume of the thyroid gland, TSH, fT4 and sociodemographic factors such as gender, age, weight, height and BMI did not influence the ARFI values. Conclusion: The ARFI elastography offers a wide range of gain in knowledge in the diagnostics of thyroid gland diseases in children and adolescents. Inflammation, dysfunction and structural diseases of the thyroid gland result in an increase of the ARFI values. During the examination, the examiner should pay attention the surrounding structures and its vascularization. Furthermore, the longitudinally position of the transductor should be carefully selected.

We report a case of multi-system trauma after a motor vehicle collision with documented hyperthyroidism. Intensive care was required including a tube thoracostomy and a tracheostomy. Elevated thyroid function tests were noted and the patient responded to anti-thyroid medication. The patient was decannulated prior to discharge to home. 48 year-old male driver was involved in a rollover motor vehicle collision with ejection. He was intubated in the field and transported to a Level 1 trauma center. At the time of admission his blood pressure was 184/132 with a pulse of 118 and a respiratory rate of 24. The initial abdominal ultrasound was negative and the pelvis was stable on exam. The chest x-ray revealed a moderate right pneumothorax with 1st and 2nd rib fractures. A right chest tube was inserted. An admission arterial blood gas revealed a PH of 7.11, PC02 of 63 and a Pa02 of 134 with a bicarbonate of 20 and a base deficit of 9. A CT survey revealed thyromegaly with surrounding blood and a spleen laceration with a blush. Intensive care unit observation ensued and no further therapy for the spleen injury was required. The patient remained hypertensive and tachycardic. Thyroid function tests were obtained. Free T4 and T3 were both elevated and TSH was very low. He appeared toxic and a presumptive diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis was made with impending thyroid storm. Methimazole was initiated along with beta-blockade (propranolol). The thyroid function tests remained elevated and he was switched to Propylthiouracil. His vital signs stabilized and he was eventually extubated. Post-extubation stridor developed and a tracheostomy was performed. He was weaned and eventually decannulated. He was discharged to home in satisfactory condition on daily anti-thyroid medication.

The Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block is a novel regional anaesthesia technique that aims to provide hipanalgesia with preservation of motor function, although evidence is currently lacking. A PENG (Pericapsular Nerves Group) blockade is effective in both adult and pediatric patients. However, no studies on patients under five are available in the literature. Herein, we describe our experience with two pediatric patients with hip dysplasia and spina bifida. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic effect of the Pericapsular Nerves Group (PENG) in preschool children undergoing hip surgery and spina bifida. Patients and methods: This study included two patients, aged 4 and 2 years old, who were qualified for hip surgery and spina bifida. general anesthesia with the addition of a PENG block was performed. Postoperative pain management after surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip is a challenge for older children and pediatric patients with epidural block contraindications. Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block is an innovative technique reported for pain control around the hip joint. We report the application of a PENG block in a child with spina malformation who underwent open hip surgery.

Hip arthroplasty is a reliable means in the treatment of hip conditions. By restoring its mobility, stability and indolence. However, this prosthetic surgery exposes to the risk of the occurrence of complications that can affect the functional prognosis. The most common complications are dislocations, fractures, loosening, and infections. These complications may require surgical revision of the total hip prosthesis (THA). We present three cases of patients who required revision THA, and we present the therapeutic recommendations for each of the complications in the literature, to ensure adequate management, and the recovery of a painless, mobile and functional hip.

Treatment interruption or break plays an important factor in the treatment outcome of patients undergoing radical chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LA-HNSCC). It is postulated that the increase in Overall Treatment Time (OTT) leads to fast repopulation of resistant cells which results in poorer outcome. In this study we assessed the occurrence of treatment breaks and its impact on outcome amongst our patients of LA-HNSCC.
