“DON’T STICK YOUR NOSE IN OUR BEDROOMS!”: PROTESTS IN GEZI PARK IN 2013 AND TURKISH POST-ISLAMISM
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Saetov Ilshat G.
Published: October 2022

At the end of May 2013, several trees were cut down in Gezi Park (Istanbul) to construct a building in the spirit of the old Ottoman barracks, which was to become a shopping center. Several dozen environmental activists tried to protect the park, but the city police brutally dispersed the peaceful camp. After that, the local protest reached a completely different level and grew into a campaign that engulfed the entire country. After these protests part of the population was de facto declared second-class: the head of the Turkish state and the ruling party began to place a very strong emphasis on the Muslim / non-Muslim dichotomy, dividing people at his own discretion and implying, by Muslims, first, practicing Muslims loyal to him. The research is based on my interviews with protesters in Gezi Park and observations in the Beyoglu area during the June 2013 unrest. Most of the respondents lived there in tents after the first dispersal on May 29, 2013, until the second dispersal and closure of the park (and the adjacent Taksim Square) on the night of June 15–16, 2013 The author himself came to Istanbul on June 13 and personally witnessed second acceleration. In this article, are cited quotes from respondents and offered author’s own interpretations of the reasons for the protests associated with the assertion of status domination (according to James Scott).
Ograniczenie wolności pielgrzymowania jako konsekwencja nowelizacji ustawy – Prawo o ruchu drogowym z dnia 30 marca 2021 r. Kazus Rolkowej Pielgrzymki Wrocławskiej
Authors: Resler Tomasz
Published: October 2022

Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie o wpływ dokonanej 30 marca 2021 r. nowelizacji Prawa o ruchu drogowym na wolność pielgrzymowania, przy czym rozważania teoretyczne odnoszone są do kazusu Rolkowej Pielgrzymki Wrocławskiej. Nowe definicje legalne spowodowały, że w obecnym stanie prawnym nie wszystkie pielgrzymki mogą się odbywać w dotychczasowych formach. Dotyczy to przede wszystkim pielgrzymek, których uczestnicy poruszają się za pomocą „urządzeń wspomagających ruch” (rolek). Autor dochodzi do wniosku, że de lege lata tego rodzaju pielgrzymki nie mogą się odbywać, jeżeli ich uczestnicy poruszają się po jezdni. W artykule rozstrzygnięto także wątpliwość dotyczącą organów, które są właściwe w sprawie uzgodnienia trasy i czasu pielgrzymki, wykazując, że takiego uzgodnienia nie powinien dokonywać wojewoda, mimo że w ostatnich latach przyjęta była taka właśnie praktyka. Wskazano ponadto na potrzebę zmiany obowiązujących przepisów, tak aby organizator mógł w sposób efektywny skorzystać z prawa do sądu w sytuacji ewentualnego sporu z organami administracji w sprawie organizacji pielgrzymki.
The Past In The Present Carnage In North Central Nigeria: The Role Of Collective Memory On Conflict Persistence
Authors: Olumba Ezenwa E.
Published: October 2022

The North Central region of Nigeria is the epicentre of violent conflicts over land and agricultural resources. Several plausible causes have been identified, but there are insufficient explanations for how the synergy of political-historical events and collective memory formed the region's violent conflicts up to the present. This paper examined how the region's residents' collective memories, created by political-historical contestations, have influenced the recurrence of violent conflict between herders and farmers by analysing historical accounts using an adapted version of the Rational Choice and Symbolic Political Theory. It argues that the persistence of eco-violence stems from elites' emotions and intuitions, which, in their pursuit of resources to achieve parochial goals, create grievances and inequity, establishing collective memories that amplify ethnic fears and fears of annihilation among diverse groups, resulting in people's desire to address grievances through non-normative collective action. It contends that addressing these collective memories could reduce eco-violence.

Published: October 2022

Analysis of precipitation and temperature extremes is important for water resource management, and ecosystem protection at various spatial and temporal scales. The main aim of this review paper critically evaluates and assess the existing data and field of research on trends and variabilities of precipitation and temperature extreme events. This study describes and formulates research findings on precipitation and temperature extremes variabilities, trends, and change point detections that occur within the study area considering the historical and future projected conditions. To realize a comprehensive assessment of a review, important research findings from research data support and academic research engines were used. The results revealed that the amount of precipitation did not show a consistent pattern within the Lake Tana basin under historical and projected timescales. The basin has more variation in monthly precipitation extremes, erratic and fragile than the seasonal and annual precipitation timescales. The minimum, maximum and mean temperatures have all increased significantly in most of the stations under RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5, and RCP 8.5 radiative forcing scenarios. All studies suggested that temperature change is more increasing pronounced than precipitation changes in the Lake Tana basin. The study provides useful information for comprehending precipitation and temperature extreme inconsistencies, tendencies, and characteristics within the Lake Tana basin.

Mineral wool has been used as a filter medium that reaches approximately 95% removal efficiency of total suspended solids (TSS) on a laboratory scale. However, there is no research available has been applied on a larger scale. Hence, this study investigated the ability of mineral wool to remove TSS in two separate segments of the Cikapayang River at different seasons. This analysis utilizes a mineral wool type I, with a dimension of 180×30×120 cm placed in segment 2, and a mineral wool type II with a dimension of 325×30×100 cm placed in segment 9. Samples were taken using the grab sampling method to analyze the TSS concentration before and after being filtered by mineral wool. This investigation concluded that mineral wool could reduce the TSS concentration by up to 65%, and the removal capacity increased by about 6.82% during the dry season. The concentration of TSS in the dry season positively correlates with the increase in the removal capacity of the media. Mineral wool of type I in segment 2 had a better removal ability (31.43%) than type II in segment 9 (14.71%). This research shows that mineral wool can be used as a support material in sanitation sites in large cities experiencing quality degradation in their water bodies.

On classifier learning methodologies with application to compressed remote sensing images
Authors: Proskura Galina , Rubel Oleksii , Lukin Vladimir
Published: October 2022

Remote sensing images have found numerous applications nowadays. A traditional outcome or intermediate result of their processing is a classification map. Such maps are usually obtained from a pre-trained classifier and it is desired to have the produced classification maps as accurately as possible. The basic subject of this article is the factors determining this accuracy. The main among them are the quality of remote sensing data and classifier type, parameters and training approach. Image quality can be degraded due to several factors. One of them is distortions introduced by lossy compression that is widely used due to a huge volume of acquired data and the necessity to sufficiently decrease their size at transmission, storage and/or dissemination stages. Because of this, the main goal of this paper is to consider classification and lossy compression jointly. In particular, this means that the classifier learning can be performed for original (uncompressed, compressed in a lossless manner) images (if they are available) as well as for compressed data at hand (offered to a user for classification and further analysis). The task of this paper is to consider and compare these two options. The first one is the classifier learning for original images and further application to compressed data, where images can be compressed with different compression ratios while producing compressed data of different quality. The second option is the use of the classifier learning for compressed images, where compression parameters for training data can be approximately the same as for the images to which the classifier is applied. The main result is that the latter methodology can provide certain benefits compared to the classifier learning for original data if one has to classify compressed remote sensing data. Simulation data are obtained for a classifier based on a convolutional neural network. As images for training and verification, four real-life three-channel (visible range) Sentinel-2 remote sensing images of Kharkiv and Kharkiv region are employed that possess different complexity of the content and have four main classes. The practical recommendations are given. In conclusion, we can state that it is worth having classifiers trained for several degrees of compression and it is reasonable to compress complex structure images with special care.

Is shown that it is possible in principle to increase the thermal and oxidative stability of sealing liquids in operation by introducing "fresh" into the spent sealing liquid, taken in certain ratios. It has been established that topping up the sealing liquid with a higher viscosity to the spent sealing liquid can significantly increase the dynamic viscosity of the operational material and extend the period of its use in the hot water storage tank. The introduction of the antioxidant additive Agidol-1 into the composition of the sealing liquid reduces its dynamic viscosity, but significantly increases the thermo-oxidative stability.

Mind abuse: media violence in the information age
Authors: Cukier Wendy
Published: October 2022

This is a readable book that argues for the links between media and violence as framed by George Gerbner’s work on the cultural environment. Love it or hate it, Gerbner’s work has a strong theoretical base and is grounded in systematic empirical analysis. It is also informed by a critical and ethical perspective: “The issue of media violence is really just the first phase of a major cultural debate about life in the 21st Century. What kind of people do we want our children to become? What kind of culture will best give them the environment they will need to grow up healthy and whole?” (Gerbner, 1993, p. 2, cited on p. 183).
Collision prediction on combined horizontal and vertical alignments of two-lane rural highways
Authors: You Qing Chong
Published: October 2022

This study investigates the safety effects of combined horizontal and vertical alignments using accident occurrences on two-lane rural highways in Washington. Eight statistical models were developed to establish the relationships between vehicle accidents and their associated factors for eight combinations of alignments by the Poisson, negative binomial, zero-inflated Poisson, and zero-inflated negative binomial. Three selected models were validated. The findings show that degree of curvature is the most successful predictor for horizontal curves combined with vertical alignments. A minimum ratio of 25 of vertical curve radius to horizontal curve radius is recommended for a curve with radius of smaller than 6000 ft (or 1830 m). Vertical curves have relatively little influence on accident occurrences at horizontal tangents. The grade value and length of a grade increase accident occurrences when a horizontal curve or tangent is on a grade. A smaller curve should be avoided introducing at a steep grade.
Cross Layer Optimizations Of Integrated Networks In Underground Mines
Authors: Farjow Wisam Faraj
Published: October 2022

Establishing reliable communication is a difficult task in underground mines due to the extreme environmental conditions. This work proposes novel approaches and architectures to optimize the reliability, scalability and power efficiency of the communication networks in the environment of underground mines.

Our research considers an integrated network architecture with three main elements that represent the common path of information flow from the surface of the mine to remote points deep in the underground. These three main elements are as follows: the backbone networks, the wireless channel of the confined spaces and the Wireless Sensors Networks (WSN).

The objectives of enhancing the network reliability, scalability and power efficiency are globally considered for the entire integrated network. As a first step, the backbone network of the mine is optimized with intelligent algorithms for maximum stability, scalability and power efficiency. These objectives were achieved by introducing our novel Prediction-based Adaptive Equalization Algorithm (PAEA) and The Power-aware Adaptive Charging Schedule Algorithm (PACSA). Furthermore, this research introduced a novel wireless channel model to characterize the performance of the wireless systems in underground mines. The new proposed model, called “Mine Segmenting Wireless Channels Model”, is utilized by the wireless network as an added layer of intelligent network capacity. Lastly, with power efficiency and conservation in mind, the performance of the WSN in the underground is optimized for power efficiency, scalability and rapid development of applications. These objectives are achieved by introducing our novel Resources-Aware Sleep Scheduling Algorithm (RASSA) for the wireless sensor networks to provide an integrated platform, where new applications in mines can be rapidly developed to suit the operational requirements of the mine.

Authors: Franson Linnea
Published: October 2022

This MRP provides an analysis of the communication strategy of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in an attempt to better understand the role of communication in sustainable development. In 2014, UN Member States put forth the SDGs, following the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), serving as renewed targets for the global population from 2015-2030 (Miller-Dawkins, 2014). The SDGs and their ambitious yet transformational agenda aim to promote prosperity for all of humankind, while protecting our planet. This MRP establishes how the goals of the SDG campaign are being communicated in the Sustainable Development Goals Report 2017 (SDG Report 2017). The report is released annually based on the latest available data and provides a snapshot of the efforts to date. In addition to exploring how the report is designed and communicated, this MRP will result in a list of recommendations for future international communication initiatives. These recommendations are informed by the literature review touching on the changing nature of international development and communication while also applying and linking three key areas of theoretical discourse: Knowledge Translation, Hofstede’s (2003) cultural dimensions, and concepts of Framing Analysis.

Authors: Oludemi Tolulope
Published: October 2022

The pre-treatment of sludge has gained a lot of attention for treating and handling waste, especially in wastewater treatment plants. Different technologies are being investigated to improve how waste can be reduced, a certain type of pre-treatment used is Free Nitrous Acid (FNA). This technology has been used as a chemical pre-treatment in the anaerobic digestion process to improve the fermentation/hydrolysis stage. The effect of utilizing different doses of the FNA pre-treatment was investigated for this study, and the effect of the pre-treatment on the characteristics of thickened waste activated sludge (TWAS) were identified. It was observed that as the doses of FNA increased, the concentration of soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) increased, with the highest values noticed at an FNA concentration of 0.7 mg N/L for both experiments. The volatile suspended solids (VSS) decreased as the doses of FNA increased, the highest decrease in VSS was observed at FNA dose of 2.8 mg N/L.
Development of novel clostridial fusants for enhanced biobutanol production
Authors: Syed Kashif
Published: October 2022

Biobutanol, a fuel with higher energy content than ethanol was produced in the present work through Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation (SSF) of wheat straw (WS) that traditionally produces acetone, butanol and ethanol solvents (ABE). Novel Clostridium strains were developed and tested for enhanced biobutanol production. Thermal stability was imparted to two mesophilic clostridial wild strains through protoplast fusion with that of a corresponding thermophilic clostridial strain. This novel development eliminated the need to add external enzymes during the SSF process, allowed for SSF to be conducted at an elevated temperature of 45°C, enhanced the activity of internally produced enzymes and tolerated butanol toxicity to new limits. In order to determine the stability of the genetically modified strains, the parent fusants were passed on to five successive growth cycles. The fused strains of each growth cycle were inoculated with substrate and examined for solvent production and compared to the parent generation. Polymerase Chain Reaction Technique (PCR) followed by Agarose Gel Electrophoresis demonstrated reproducible genetic stability of the fused strains. Highest biobutanol production of 13.8 g/L (almost twice the concentration reported by other laboratory scale batch SSF research studies) was produced by one of the novel fusants. Generally, fused strain that achieved the highest biobutanol production exhibited relatively constant butanol concentration over the five growth cycles. Optimistic results obtained from batch SSF at lab scale demonstrate a clear potential of these novel strains to improve productivity and yield of biobutanol at a large-scale facility.
Field-based assessment of the influence of agriculture and urbanization on benthic macroinvertebrates in Southern Ontario and Laboratory based assessment of the toxicity of road salt to biofilms
Authors: Lucas Michelle
Published: October 2022

The abundance and diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates (BMI) were measured across four streams that span a gradient of urban and agricultural land cover in south-central Ontario. For each stream, BMI surveys were carried out across three seasons for reference (upstream) and test (downstream) sites with chloride being a contaminant of interest to this study. While two of the test sites had stream chloride concentrations that exceeded national guidelines for chronic toxicity,
only the site with the highest proportion of urban land cover in its drainage area suggested compromised community compositions across all study seasons. Additionally, the impact of sodium chloride, the most common road salt type, was studied on freshwater biofilm communities under laboratory conditions, where biofilms at high concentrations of salt show a high degree of aggregation.

The health of Canadian university students has been recognized as a public health concern, with sleep identified as one of the three most problematic areas. Of Canadian postsecondary students, 75.6% report obtaining an insufficient amount of sleep. Cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) has been found to be highly effective for the treatment of insomnia in the general population, including self-help administration of CBT-I. Due to a dearth of professionals trained in administering CBT-I, this study examined whether a self-help CBT-I program for young adult students would be a feasible method of improving sleep in this population. On quantitative measures, completers of the program (N = 18) demonstrated adequate knowledge acquisition, and they rated the program as acceptable, easy to understand, satisfactory, and useful. According to the qualitative data, completers found the program to be useful, clear, and easy to understand.
The discourse of adaptation
Authors: Auspitz Jesse
Published: October 2022

This research paper explores the discourse of municipal climate change adaptation in the context of planning. Dryzek's criteria are used which analyzes 4 dimensions of a discourse: basic entitites; assumptions about natural relationships; agents and their motives; and, key metaphors and other rhetorical devices. Policies are analyzed from two municipalities in Canada: Toronto, Ontario and Halifax Regional Municipality. Analysis reveals climate change is assumed to already happening and requires action; a hierarchy of vulnerable "objects" including the city, citizens, ecoystems that need protection from a "subject" or the city; experts and government have the responsibility to educate the public; and rhetorical devices suggest urgency which can be used to reinforce a system of hierarchy that alienates citizens from the process.

Evaluation of the influence of rainfall on phosphorus loading in Lake Simcoe
Authors: Mahmood Muhammad Asif
Published: October 2022

Lake Simcoe is a major source of fresh water supply and serves as a favorite hub for recreational activities in southern Ontario. The cold water aquatic life of this Lake is facing serious threats due to depleted levels of oxygen caused by excessive growth of algal plants. The major reason for this growth is the entrance of high phosphorus loads through heavy stream discharges in the months of January until April. The results of analysis of phosphorus concentration and flows conducted in this project shows a direct dependence of phosphorus load on flow. Although the relation of rainfall and phosphorus load could not be supported by strong statistical evidence, the flow variations have been shown to be the major cause of variations in phosphorus load. The control strategies should be focused on reducing the generation of phosphorus at source level and preventing the direct entry of heavy flushes in the lake though Best Management Practices (BMPs), including detention facilities.

Elements Selection for Auxiliary Array in the Adaptive Sidelobe Canceller Radar System
Authors: Mohammed Jafar Ramadhan
Published: October 2022

In a recent paper, the conventional sidelobe canceller radar system was developed by replacing the separate auxiliary antennas by few elements at the center of the main antenna array. The modified system with reused elements was associated with some attenuation in the desired signal due to the emerging correlation between the signals that exists in the main and the reused array elements. This problem was solved by imposing some constraints on the array pattern of the reused elements. In this paper, few of the side elements of the main array are employed as the auxiliary antennas. This new proposed configuration is called sided-elements. Unlike the previous centered-elements configuration, the proposed sided-elements configuration offers more desired features since the pattern of the side elements has sidelobes of similar widths of those of the main array. Moreover, a better diversity is obtained due to the wider separation between the two groups of elements at both sides of the main array. Simulation results fully confirm the effectiveness of the new proposed sided-elements configuration for suppressing the undesired interfering signals and retaining the desired signal undistorted.

Integrating with open archive via OAI-PMH provider
Authors:   Russian National Public Library for Science and Technology, Kolosov Kirill A.
Published: October 2022

The author examines usability of OAI-PMH technology for metadata exchange between the e-libraries and open archives. Research and educational organizations may maintain both e-libraries and e-archives which main contents are new publications and materials in digital formats. However, in most cases, organizational websites do not enable the integrated search simultaneously against both sources. Using OAI-PMH protocol provides several advantages in distributing and promoting information as it offers additional opportunities for indexing by Internet-based search engines, along with extended metadata exchange options. The RNPLS&T has designed the solution that enables to use ALIS as the universal platform for the two technologies, i.e. e-library portal and provider of open archive data, based on OAI-PMH protocol. The key benefit of the solution is the compatibility of the metadata transfer formats with the popular Dspace platform, which enables to use IRBIS64-pluggable databases as open archives. In this case, the IRBIS-based data become available to other open archive systems interactively.
