Published: December 2023

Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Acrylonitrile–Butadiene–Styrene (ABS) are commonly used polymers in 3D printing for biomedical applications. Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) are an accessible and proliferative source of stem cells with significant differentiation potential. Limited knowledge exists regarding the biocompatibility and genetic safety of ABS and PLA when in contact with DPSCs. This study aimed to investigate the impact of PLA and ABS on the adhesion, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, genetic stability, proteomics, and immunophenotypic profile of DPSCs. A total of three groups, 1- DPSC-control, 2- DPSC+ABS, and 3- DPSC+PLA, were used in in vitro experiments to evaluate cell morphology, proliferation, differentiation capabilities, genetic stability, proteomics (secretome), and immunophenotypic profiles regarding the interaction between DPSCs and polymers. Both ABS and PLA supported the adhesion and proliferation of DPSCs without exhibiting significant cytotoxic effects and maintaining the capacity for osteogenic differentiation. Genetic stability, proteomics, and immunophenotypic profiles were unaltered in DPSCs post-contact with these polymers, highlighting their biosafety. Our findings suggest that ABS and PLA are biocompatible with DPSCs and demonstrate potential in dental or orthopedic applications; the choice of the polymer will depend on the properties required in treatment. These promising results stimulate further studies to explore the potential therapeutic applications in vivo using prototyped polymers in personalized medicine.

Published: December 2023

Cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater bodies are mainly attributed to the excess loading of nutrients. The microbes in sediments may affect nutrient migration and transformation during the growth of cyanobacteria. This study focused on the role of Paraburkholderia disturbance in affecting the sediment nutrient conditions and further contributing to cyanobacterial community succession in Meiliang Bay, Lake Taihu. The dissolving phosphorus and fixing nitrogen of Paraburkholderia with different concentration and characteristic capabilities, as well as the impact on nutrients (nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), iron (Fe), etc.) in eutrophic lakes were determined. The results indicated that the various forms of phosphorus in the sediments showed total phosphorus (TP) > inorganic phosphorus (IP) > iron/aluminum-bound phosphate (NaOH-P) > algal-available phosphorus (AAP) > organic phosphorus (OP) > calcium-bound phosphate (HCl-P). Additionally, it was observed that with higher values of Paraburkholderia (OD600), the higher the corresponding risk of endogenous nutrient release from the sediments into the overlying water (but more is not always better), especially for the solubilization of HCl-P. The diffusion fluxes of TP, total nitrogen (TN) and Fe at the sediment–water interface (SWI) were all positive in the bacteria only experiment, with maximum values of 0.64, 15.0 and 5.02 mg/(m2d), respectively. Additionally, it was interesting that Paraburkholderia were able to produce organic acids, causing a decrease in pH. Furthermore, glucose levels can seriously affect water quality, especially the reduction in dissolved oxygen (DO) (down to 0.01 mg/L), leading to a series of side effects that have a huge impact on cyanobacterial community succession. These results provide a theoretical basis for the microbial ecological factors in eutrophic lakes.
A Cross-Cultural Analysis for Plastic Waste Perception of Students from Romania and Turkey

Published: December 2023

The article brings to attention a cross cultural model related to the perception of students in relation to the current problem of plastic waste. To create the model, a questionnaire was applied online in two countries at the same time, among students from different specializations. The survey was structured in several parts, with the first part meant to identify individual characteristics of the responders, the second part to identify their knowledge about plastic, determine their beliefs in the new material—bioplastic, their preference in using plastic or bioplastic, and the last part meant to determine students’ attitude towards the environment. The model wants to highlight the preferences and knowledge of students about plastic, the degree of information and students’ knowledge about plastic waste, and if these are influenced by culture; in our case, the country was considered. Also, we established that gender or specialization have no influence on the perception of bioplastic. A total of 39.79% of the students from both countries participate in and attend conferences about nature protection and plastic waste, and only 58.69% of the students do not participate in any conferences about nature conservation or recycling materials. As a conclusion, we can mention that Turkish students are more responsible and more active in environmental activities regarding plastic waste in comparison with Romanian students. In comparison with Romanian students, Turkish students are more careful when it comes to recycling waste plastic and when choosing products that are less harmful to nature. The young generation is open to selective recycling, even if they sometimes do not follow the established rules. Based on this model, common problems can be identified and universities, as incubators of ideas, can welcome the use of the necessary methods and tools to stimulate care and students’ awareness of the environment and its protection.
A Framework for Assessing the Climate Impacts of Research and Innovation Projects and Programmes
Authors: Martinuzzi André , Hametner Markus , Windsperger Andreas , Brunnhuber Nadine
Published: December 2023

Public spending on research and innovation (R&I) to tackle grand societal challenges, such as climate change, is increasing. Consequently, research funding organisations face an ever-growing demand to demonstrate the social return of their investments. However, tools and frameworks that facilitate the description and assessment of the climate impacts of R&I activities are largely lacking. The present paper addresses this gap by conducting a comparative case analysis of corporate R&I projects co-funded by a thematically open R&I funding programme with the aim of identifying the key impact pathways. Data for the cases were collected through document analysis and video interviews. The results show that assessments of the climate impacts of R&I need to take into account the expected change in technology maturity and the impacts that are caused up- and downstream in a company’s value chain. The results serve as a basis for the development of a framework for the ex-ante assessment of climate impacts of public R&I programmes. A series of workshops with research funders, companies, and evaluation experts helped refine and validate the framework and ensure its real-world applicability. The framework provides proposal writers and evaluators with a pragmatic and easy-to-use orientation tool for describing and assessing the climate impacts of a planned R&I activity during the proposal evaluation stage. It therefore supports a more systematic and systemic assessment of R&I impacts that can help funding organisations better address the challenges of climate change.

Authors: Kumi-Larbi Jnr Alexander , Mohammed Latifatu , Tagbor Trinity Ama , Tulashie Samuel Kofi , Cheeseman Christopher
Published: December 2023

This paper reports on using waste polyethylene to form plastic-bonded sand interlocking blocks for wall construction. The production process, mechanical properties, and failure mechanisms of three different interlocking block wall systems are reported. Plastic-bonded composite blocks were formed by mixing sand into waste polyethylene in a high-temperature extruder. The blocks formed had densities between 1.5 and 1.6 g cm−3 and compressive strengths of approximately 15.0 MPa. This is significantly higher than the conventional sandcrete wall blocks that are widely used in developing countries. The blocks were used to construct walls with dimensions of 1.0 m × 1.0 m × 0.15 m, and these were subjected to in-plane compressive loads. The compressive strengths of the walls ranged from 4.2 to 5.7 MPa. Variations in the block composition did not affect the failure mechanism, but the extent of the block damage after failure varied significantly. The potential for using waste plastics to form interlocking construction blocks for use in low-cost construction is discussed.

Southeastern Europe faces a significant earthquake threat, endangering lives, property, and infrastructure thus jeopardizing sustainable development. The development of a Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment System (REDAS) designed to deliver crucial earthquake damage information for scenario planning, real-time response, and bolstering public awareness and preparedness is presented. In doing so, REDAS enhances community resilience and safeguards sustainability. REDAS comprises a Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment platform (REDA.p), a smartphone application, and an Educational Hub (Edu.Hub). REDA.p provides both scenario-based and near real-time seismic damage evaluation of structures, gas pipelines, and geotechnical failures, based on harmonized Ground Motion Prediction Equations and a comprehensive building taxonomy scheme covering the area under investigation. To assess regional landslide hazards, the Infinite Slope Model and a statistics-based model have been implemented, alongside a statistical model for liquefaction probability assessment. Validated against historical data, REDA.p integrates real-time input from key earthquake monitoring networks in the region, covering cross-border areas as well, while in designated urban zones, the system is enhanced by real-time data from a dense earthquake monitoring network deployed in selected school buildings. The smartphone app and Edu.Hub disseminate critical information, guidelines, and tools to improve public prevention, preparedness, and response capacities, thereby enhancing societal resilience.

Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) are increasingly recognized as essential tools for their effectiveness in conservation and the benefits they provide. However, their challenges are still significant. The concepts, legislation, and governance surrounding PCAs are the results of social contexts. Due to the evolution of scientific knowledge, human rights, and diversified demands, new approaches are necessary to fulfill their functions. To better understand the context and possibilities, a study group was established to evaluate the current research, exchange experiences, guide dialogues, and identify lessons from experiences. The core of the experiences and cases considered and the reflections developed focused on the Brazilian context. This article analyzes the collected information and reflections related to several themes associated with challenges. The results reinforce the importance of PCAs but warn about the limitations of current conservation strategies to respond to social actors’ expectations, the needs of the vulnerable social groups, and evolving demands. The complexity of PCA systems is evident in view of the multiplicity of interests, potential contributions, and possibilities for participatory arrangements. There is a need to improve management and governance conceptions to promote the reconnection between society and nature. Therefore, the concept of collaborative conservation is proposed as an instrumental approach to advance towards inclusive and effective conservation strategies.

Bioactive compounds (BACs) and chemical building blocks (CBBs) play a pivotal role in driving economic growth. These compounds, known for their diverse applications in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and manufacturing, have become integral to meeting the increasing demand for sustainable and innovative products. In this research, we used and characterized dynamic maceration to extract BACs and CBBs from broccoli leaves (BLs). A central composite design (CCD) was selected to evaluate the effect of temperature (from 4 °C to 70 °C), ethanol concentration (from 30% to 70% (v/v)), and exposition time (15 to 60 min) on total phenolic content (TPC) (mg of gallic acid equivalents (GAEs) per 100 g of dry biomass (db)). A confirmation experiment (CE) was performed to reproduce the optimal conditions (50 °C, 36.92 min, and 30% (v/v)) for BAC extraction. Results indicated a GAE concentration of 112.95 ± 0.92 mg/100 g db, while the statistical model predicted a value of 111.87 mg of GAEs/100 g db (error of 0.95%) with a rate constant (k) value of 0.0154 mg/g·min (R2 of 0.9894). BACs and CBBs were identified with gas chromatography–electron impact mass spectrometry detecting l-isoleucine, l-leucine, malonic acid, and succinic acid, among others. Finally, a life cycle inventory (LCI) was developed to determine global warming (GW) and water consumption (WC), among others, for 10 g of BL extract. Findings reported herein prove the sustainability of eco-friendly extraction of BACs and CBBs for the effective use of agricultural by-products.
Research on the Spatial and Temporal Distribution and Evolution Characteristics of Ancient Architectural Heritage in Southeastern Zhejiang
Authors: Jiang Liwen , Cai Jun
Published: December 2023

Southeastern Zhejiang boasts a large number of ancient architectural heritage sites and features, representing a rich cultural heritage. However, this region lacks a unified and effective planning system and coordination mechanism. Each county and city operates independently, resulting in low levels of resource sharing and utilization. There is a lack of a long-term, comprehensive, and effective planning and management framework. Therefore, this study focuses on 268 ancient architectural heritage sites in southeastern Zhejiang. By employing correlation analysis methods on the ArcGIS platform, this study summarizes the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics and evolutionary patterns of ancient architectural heritage. The study aims to provide guidance for subsequent comprehensive research, protection, and planning, thereby achieving the sustainable development of the region’s ancient architectural cultural heritage. The conclusions are as follows: (1) Southeastern Zhejiang’s ancient architectural heritage has formed an overall spatial distribution pattern known as the “three cores and three belts”. Targeted sustainable development strategies for ancient architectural heritage can be proposed accordingly. (2) The overall spatial distribution of ancient architectural cultural heritage in southeastern Zhejiang is highly correlated with the natural environment. It is important to consider the correlation between the overall spatial distribution of ancient architectural cultural heritage and the natural environment in the region during subsequent development. (3) The distribution of newly added architectural heritage in southeastern Zhejiang is influenced by factors such as water resource reforms, immigration policies, administrative changes, and cultural ideologies. Throughout history, southeastern Zhejiang has exhibited different spatial distribution structures, laying the foundation for the study of its genealogy and lineage of ancient architectural heritage. The contribution of this research lies in providing targeted references for the coordinated development and systematic revitalization of ancient architectural cultural heritage for the future of southeastern Zhejiang.

Published: December 2023

Agriculture and livestock farming significantly contribute to the success of all United Nations Sustainable Development Goals of Agenda 2030 and are pivotal in the sustainability transition of the European agri-food sector. However, those sectors have been criticized for generating negative environmental externalities. In this context, adopting indicators able to evaluate agriculture and sheep farming sustainability is essential for fostering sustainable development in the primary sector and defining appropriate policies to support it. Such indicators are crucial for understanding if European Union policies striving to realize win–win opportunities based on synergy between farms’ environmental and economic dimensions are realistic. This paper focuses on this wave of interest and has two aims. First, it intends to investigate the existence of synergies or trade-offs between those dimensions using a trade-off analysis. To this end, a significant set of economic and environmental farm indicators was selected, and two composite indicators were created. Second, it aims to investigate the relationship between those two indicators and some pivotal structural and socio-demographic variables. This study was carried out on 219 Sardinian sheep farms included in the Italian Farm Accountancy Data Network. The findings showed a low synergy between the economic and environmental spheres, a relationship between economic indicators and farmers’ ages and organic production variables, and no relationships between the environmental dimension and the analyzed variables.

The genus Biscogniauxia, a member of the family Xylariaceae, is distributed worldwide with more than 50 recognized taxa. Biscogniauxia species is known as a plant pathogen, typically acting as a parasite on tree bark, although certain members of this genus also function as endophytic microorganisms. Biscogniauxia endophytic strain has received attention in many cases, which includes constituent research leading to the discovery of various bioactive secondary metabolites. Currently, there are a total of 115 chemical compounds belonging to the class of secondary metabolites, and among these compounds, fatty acids have been identified. In addition, the strong pharmacological agents of this genus are (3aS,4aR,8aS,9aR)-3a-hydroxy-8a-methyl-3,5-dimethylenedecahydronaphto [2,3-b]furan-2(3H)-one (HDFO) (antifungal), biscopyran (phytotoxic activity), reticulol (antioxidant), biscogniazaphilone A and B (antimycobacterial), and biscogniauxone (Enzyme GSK3 inhibitor). This comprehensive research contributes significantly to the potential discovery of novel drugs produced by Biscogniauxia and holds promise for future development. Importantly, it represents the first-ever review of natural products originating from the Biscogniauxia genus.

Published: December 2023

In the context of global climate change and the water-carbon peak target, improving water security in arid regions is a persistent challenge in global water resources management. Water diversion projects can serve as an important measure to effectively alleviate the uneven distribution of water resources, achieve rational allocation and efficient utilization of water resources. However, how to achieve the maximization of comprehensive benefits during the process of water allocation is also an urgent problem that needs to be solved. This study focuses on the Middle Route Project of the South to North Water Diversion Project in China, selecting four important municipalities and provinces during 2015 to 2021, namely Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei Province, and Henan Province, based on the actual benefits of the water receiving areas of the middle line project. Nine representative indicators related to social, economic, and ecological benefits were selected to evaluate the optimal combination of water resource allocation in the water receiving areas along the central line, in order to achieve the maximum comprehensive benefits and solve the problems of high water safety guarantee requirements and difficult balanced water distribution in urban agglomerations in the water receiving areas. Through the calculation of the Markovsky theoretical model, the results show that when 79.9% of the water conveyance is used to generate social benefits, 15.8% of the water conveyance is used to generate ecological benefits, and 4.5% of the water conveyance is used to generate economic benefits, the project achieves the maximum comprehensive benefits. This computational model method can be used to provide technical support and scientific reference for the optimal allocation of water resources in cross regional water transfer projects.
Coil System Design for Multi-Frequency Resistivity Logging Tool Based on Numerical Simulation
Authors: Jia Jiang , Ke Shizhen , Rezaee Reza
Published: December 2023

A coil-type resistivity logging tool has been proposed for multi-frequency operation (250 kHz to 8 MHz) based on electromagnetic wave propagation. Different frequencies are matched with specific transmission coils, while the same two reception coils are used to achieve a consistent depth of investigation (DOI). By analyzing the electromagnetic attenuation and phase difference of induced signals at different frequencies, the complex resistivity can be jointly inverted. The coil systems were designed with four DOI options (0.3 m, 0.5 m, 1 m, and 1.5 m) and six measurement frequencies (250 kHz, 500 kHz, 1 MHz, 2 MHz, 4 MHz, and 8 MHz). Their detection performance was evaluated using the finite element method on the COMSOL platform. For higher frequencies or a deeper DOI, a coil system with a larger source-receiver distance was selected. These designed coil systems can provide qualitative identification of formations with thicknesses greater than 0.05 m and quantitative identification of formations with thicknesses greater than 1.5 m. In the single-transmission, dual-reception coil system, response signals are distorted at the formation boundary, and this distortion increases with the source-receiver distance. Adding a secondary transmission coil can reduce the distortion of response signals at the formation interface without increasing the overall length of the coil system. This research enriches the theoretical framework of complex resistivity spectrum (CRS) logging and contributes to the commercial development of CRS logging tools.

L'audace du rail : les trains blindés du Sud-Annam.
Authors: Neviaski Alexis
Published: December 2023

Railways, though extremely vulnerable, are essential to the flow of economic goods and military supplies. It thus fell to soldiers to provide for their defence. Little known, but audacious, armoured trains proved to be an efficacious means to do this, evidenced by their actions in the war in Indochina and particularly in Southern Annam. The rail network was of crucial importance in this territory, for it formed the sole mode of communications. Dispositions were made to ensure the network’s integrity - but they lacked the essential tool to prevent the rail link being interrupted : an armoured train.

The survival of these mobile fortresses was due to several trade-offs between their armour protection, speed and firepower. Placed at the service of the railway system, this combat asset undertook missions of all kinds : on the track (repair and maintenance), supporting outposts (in defence and resupply), and with other trains (escort and support duties). Participating in operations planned by the military staffs, the armoured trains were truly effective in the struggle against the guerrillas, generating a climate of insecurity around the railway line. Constantly in action, by day and night, they surprised and destroyed the Viet-minh through a combination of flexible manoeuvre by the troops they carried on board and the firepower of the train’s guns.

Effective in a distant conflict, long-ago, are armoured trains purely a weapons-system of the past ? Assuredly not, for several of them made an appearance in the recent conflict in the former-Yugoslavia. Could armoured trains be useful in Western Europe, where they are currently non-existent ? Not right now -but this is an asset worth reconsidering as a counter to future terrorist attack against the railways.
Un attaché militaire à Berlin avant la Grande Guerre (1909-1912)

A military attaché in Berlin before The Great War

Colonel Maurice Pelle had been French military attaché in Berlin for two years when the «Agadir crisis» exploded in July 1911, Kaiser Wilhelm II deploying a gunboat to the Moroccan port to «protect German interests», at the risk of war with France. Thanks to secret letters that Pelle addressed to Joffre, the head of the French army, and to Messimy, minister of war, which were passed on to Caillaux, the prime minister, the latter knew that German sabre-rattling was a bluff and that the German army was not ready for war. This permitted Caillaux to conclude the episode to France's advantage by exchanging a small «mosquito-infested» part of the Congo for complete freedom to establish a French protectorate in Morocco. Less happily for France, warnings from Pelle in 1912 of German measures in certain military spheres - developing heavy artillery, incorporation of the reserves into the active army, and a project for the invasion of Belgium - were in vain.

The Secret Diplomatie Intelligence Service : the Spanish Republic's secret war on French soil (1936-39) : " Paris - our war's silent front" ; Alongside the fratricidal war that set Republicans and Nationalists at each others throats in the Iberian penin¬ sula from 1936 to 1939 , there was another hidden , theatre of operations that mobilised some of the actors caught up in the wider drama. It was France that formed the main 'silent front' of the civil war -her soil being the scene for the deployment by the Spanish republicans of a considerable espionage effort. At first the product of private initiatives, the formation of an intelligence network led, later in the Spanish Civil War, to the setting up of an official framework by the Loyalist authorities, at least in theory -for the internecine struggles that ripped apart the Republican camp and undermined its government (including the numerous reorganisations of its secret service) pushed a network with a potential that was under-estimated by the Republican political leadership over the preci¬ pice. In reality, Spanish Republican intelligence produced meagre results because it most often went unexploited and was thus rarely acted upon -and in no case was it capable of changing the outcome of the war.
La coiffure militaire, marque symbolique au premier chef
Authors: Benoit Christian
Published: December 2023

The symbolic significance of military headgear ; In addition to the protecion they offer against inclement weather, the earliest types of military headgear had to offer the wearer protection against blows from an adversary’s sword in combat. The advent of firearms rendered this purpose obsolete, and permitted lighter headwear made of felt, onto which badges and emblems could be easily fixed. As a result, military headwear became a means of reinforcing the identity of the soldier and distinguishing him in society at large. It also enabled the delineation of hierarchies among military personnel. As the emblem of a unit, headgear came to bear a weight of tradition. A sign of the authority of the state, as well as of the authority of the wearer, headgear evolved not so much through decisions taken by the high command but as a function of combat necessities, fashion, budgetary constraints and circumstances. The study of the French Army képi’s origins, evolution and nature offers a good example of the sometimes unexpected ways in which tradition could influence military headgear’s development.
Les états-majors des armées napoléoniennes
Authors: Brun Jean-François
Published: December 2023

The staff officers of the armies of Napoleon ; During the course of the Napoleonic wars the French army benefited from superbly well organised military staffs at all levels, to support the command. At the top of the organisational pyramid stood the Imperial General Staff. This consisted of three bodies : the ‘Imperial Household’, the ‘Emperor’s General Staff’, and the ‘War Administration’. The military staffs of subordinate formations (army corps and divisions ) were divided into three in exactly the same manner. Whatever level one examines in the Napoleonic French army, the staffs all shared the common characteristic of providing the commanding general with the means to plan and direct the movement of his formation’s constituent units. It was this that made possible in that era the material and technical ‘way of war’ that Napoleon pursued. Within each of the military staffs there were specialists, adjutant-majors and their assistants, who ran the offices that generally dealt with non-tactical business, whilst the other officers (including the aides-de-camp to the generals and Napoleon’s personal adjutant officers) took care of observation missions and troop inspections, and acted as courriers -roles that did not require specialist training.
La gendarmerie impériale au combat. L'exemple de l'Espagne (1809-1814)
Authors: Lepetit Gildas
Published: December 2023

The Imperial Gendarmerie in battle : fhe case of Spain (1809-1914) ; By a decree promulgated on 24 November 1809, Napoleon ordered the creation of a corps of twenty squadrons of gendarmerie, raised for service in the northern provinces of Spain. These units, reorganised into legions by the Imperial decree of 12 December 1811, fought a daily struggle to put a stop to the activities of Spanish patriotic bands that were harassing the rear areas of the French Army. At this time the gendarmes found themselves assigned to combat missions which were a far cry from the duties ascribed to the gendarmerie by regulations. Maintaining security along the road network, collecting intelligence for the imperial authorities in Paris, attempting to re-establish and then maintain public order, notably by the re-introduction of summary military justice, the gendarmerie in Spain remained in the Iberian peninsula for three and a half years and sustained heavy losses, almost half their initial established numbers being killed or taken prisoner. From that time onwards they imposed themselves on the Spanish not just as agents of French counter-guerrilla operations but also as a representative pf French law within Spain.

Published: December 2023

Seiring berjalannya waktu, jumlah kendaraan yang ada di kota-kota besar akan semakin bertambah, begitu juga dengan kota Pekanbaru. Laju peningkatan volume kendaraan yang lebih besar daripada pengembangan jalan akan berakibat pada kemacetan. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, Pemerintah Daerah Pekanbaru menerapkan sistem Bus Trans Metro Pekanbaru, yang dikenal dengan TMP pada tahun 2009. Tidak sebandingnya bus yang beroperasi dan panjangnya jalur operasi menyebabkan selang waktu antar bus pada satu tempat menjadi sangat lama. Tidak adanya kepastian kapan bus akan sampai ke halte menjadi salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan kegagalan sistem ini. Posisi dan kecepatan bus yang didapat dari modul GPS akan dibaca NodeMCU Lolin V3 (Kontroler) dan dikirimkan ke database mySQL pada server PCR. Data tersebut akan digunakan untuk menentukan waktu sampai ke perhentian berikutnya. Data waktu akan ditempilkan pada situs web. Selain itu, alat yang dibuat akan dilengkapi dengan RFID reader dan kartu e-Bus untuk pembuatan sistem pembayaran tiket bus berbasis e-money.

In the modern world, anxiety is an important part of life. Physiological anxiety is a normal emotional response to stress, a biological response to a threat. Anxiety allows you to protect yourself and your loved ones from harm and prepare for significant events, and also serves as an important signal to take strong action in a stressful situation. The study and understanding of the specifics of the clinical structure, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of stress-related disorders in persons who have suffered as a result of hostilities is indeed the main concern for social and medical issues of our society. As the results of the study showed, patients most often complain of the following symptoms: the affect of longing (boredom, despondency, sadness, sorrow), depressed mood, a feeling of tension, danger and tightness, difficulties in adapting to new surroundings, anxiety over small things, irritability and impatience, lack of hope and prospects, internal tension with the inability to relax, a sense of loss of control over one's life, obsessive fears, sleep disorders, psycho-traumatic memories, fears and fixation on subjectively significant negative information about events in the occupied territories. In the clinical structure of post-traumatic stress disorders in the examined patients, it was found: post-traumatic stress disorder (F43.1), adjustment disorders (prolonged anxiety-depressive reaction) (F43.21), anxiety disorders: generalized anxiety disorder (F41.1) and panic disorder (F41.0). The data obtained became the basis for the development of a comprehensive personalized program for the correction of anxiety disorders and rehabilitation of persons with forced displacement. The personalized program was with differentiated use of methods of psychopharmacotherapy, psychotherapy and psychoeducation.

Published: December 2023

Теоретичною основою всебічної гармонійної педагогічної концепції В. Сухомлинського є гуманістична філософія та соціально-історична культурна теорія, започаткована у свій час Л. Виготським. Педагогічні ідеї В. Сухомлинського як вчителя та директора є кристалізацією його довготривалої педагогічної практики, яка не тільки вплинула на освіту того часу, а й мала великий вплив в усьому світі. В. Сухомлинський вважав, що хорошому вчителю недостатньо володіти теоретичною грамотністю – він повинен також мати високий професіоналізм і прагматичний дослідницький дух, вірити у виховний потенціал «любові» та надавати значення самоосвіті.

As an important plant protection machinery for spraying and fertilizing crops, high clearance self-propelled sprayer is of great significance to promote food security production and stable development of agriculture. Aiming at the complex operating conditions and unique operating requirements of large high clearance self-propelled sprayer, this paper analyzes and determines the main components of the sprayer suspension, such as elastic components, guiding devices, buffer devices, damping components, etc., and designs a stand-alone vertical shaft air suspension system structure suitable for high clearance sprayers. The stress of the sprayer chassis under different extreme conditions such as side slip, emergency braking and uneven road driving is analyzed, and the vertical shaft is designed and checked in detail. Based on the stress analysis results of the sprayer chassis, the finite element analysis software HyperMesh 10.0 was used to analyze the statics of the key components of the suspension, such as the vertical shaft, the motor protection shell, the steering arm, and the spring top support. According to the results of force analysis and finite element analysis, combined with the requirements of process production, the suspension structure in the design scheme is improved, and the final suspension form and the whole structure scheme of the sprayer are obtained. Through this study, it provides a basis for the design and development of large high clearance self-propelled sprayer.

Hasankeyf/Ilısu Barajı’nda Yeniden Yerleştirme Sürecinin Dünya Bankası Tavsiye Kararları Açısından Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: ÖZDEMİRKOL Mahmut
Published: December 2023

Yeniden iskân süreci kimi faaliyetlerin zorunlu sonuçları arasında yer almaktadır. Özellikle Ilısu Baraj ve HES Projesi gibi büyük kalkınma faaliyetlerinin en önemli etkileri arasında insanların yıllardır yaşadıkları yerlerden iskân edilmeleri olabilmektedir. Bu süreç beraberinde çeşitli sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel sorunlara sebep olduğu gibi aynı zamanda mülkiyet temelli hak sorunlarına da sebep olabilmektedir. Ilısu Baraj ve HES Projesi örneğinde iskân sürecinin nasıl gerçekleştiğinin araştırıldığı bu çalışmada, bulgular Dünya Bankası ve OECD’nin tavsiye kararları çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir. Türkiye’nin tarafı olduğu söz konusu kuruluşlar yeniden yerleştirmelere ilişkin tavsiye kararları bulunmaktadır. Bu kararlar yeniden yerleştirmelerin olumsuz etkilerini ortadan kaldırmakta ve insan odaklı bir yaklaşım sergilemektedir. Söz konusu projeden kaynaklı yeniden yerleştirmeler Devlet Su İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü (DSİ) koordinesinde yapılmaktadır. DSİ yeniden yerleştirmeye ilişkin süreçleri 5543 sayılı İskân Kanunu hükümleri çerçevesinde yönetmektedir. DSİ koordinatörlüğünde gerçekleşen yeniden iskân sürecine ilişkin bulguların uluslararası standartları taşımaktan uzak olduğu anlaşılmaktadır.
