Published: July 2024

Flood fatalities are a significant challenge in the Euro-Mediterranean region, demanding a deeper exploration of the connection between rainfall patterns and the occurrence of flood-related deaths. While previous studies have documented the profiles, temporal and spatial contexts, and circumstances of flood fatalities in this region, they have primarily focused on demographic, social, and behavioural factors, often neglecting weather-related hazard parameters. This study aims to address this gap. In our research, we utilize the open-access Flood Fatalities from the Euro-Mediterranean region database (FFEM-DB), which encompasses 2,875 flood fatalities from 1980 to 2020. We define rainfall hazard variables by analyzing rainfall data from the Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble Precipitation (MSWEP) V2.8 dataset. Then, we assess the role of rainfall amounts in explaining flood fatalities in conjunction with geomorphological parameters and socio-demographic changes over the study period. We employ various statistical techniques to investigate rainfall's temporal and spatial patterns and their association with flood fatalities. We also emphasize the importance of historical rainfall patterns in assessing flood risk and designing effective disaster management strategies. The insights gained from this study enhance the existing knowledge of the factors influencing flood fatalities in the Euro-Mediterranean region.This research is performed in the frame of SNOWCLIM project funded by ECF.

Abstract. We present the geophysical data set acquired in summer 2022 close to Ny-Ålesund (western Svalbard, Brøggerhalvøya Peninsula, Norway) as part of the project ICEtoFLUX. The aim of the investigation is to characterize the role of groundwater flow through the active layer as well as through and/or below the permafrost. The data set is composed of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys, which are well-known geophysical techniques for the characterization of glacial and hydrological processes and features. Overall, 18 ERT profiles and 10 GPR lines were acquired, for a total surveyed length of 9.3 km. The data have been organized in a consistent repository that includes both raw and processed (filtered) data. Some representative examples of 2D models of the subsurface are provided, that is, 2D sections of electrical resistivity (from ERT) and 2D radargrams (from GPR). The resistivity models revealed deep resistive structures, probably related to the heterogeneous permafrost, which are often interrupted by electrically conductive regions that may relate to aquifers and/or faults. The interpretation of these data can support the identification of the active layer, the occurrence of spatial variation in soil conditions at depth, and the presence of groundwater flow through the permafrost. To a large extent, the data set can provide new insight into the hydrological dynamics and polar and climate change studies of the Ny-Ålesund area. The data set is of major relevance because there are few geophysical data published about the Ny-Ålesund area. Moreover, these geophysical data can foster multidisciplinary scientific collaborations in the fields of hydrology, glaciology, climate, geology, and geomorphology, etc. The geophysical data are provided in a free repository and can be accessed at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10260056 (Pace et al., 2023).

Published: July 2024

Abstract. Field measurements of the flow interaction between the near wake of an upstream wind turbine and the induction zone of a downstream turbine are scarce. Measuring and characterising these flow features in wind farms under various operational states can be used to evaluate numerical flow models and design of control systems. In this paper, we present induction zone measurements of a utility-scale 3.5 MW turbine with a rotor diameter of 126 m in a two-turbine wind farm operating under waked and unwaked conditions. The measurements were acquired by two synchronised continuous-wave WindScanner lidars that could resolve longitudinal and lateral velocities by dual-Doppler reconstruction. An error analysis was performed to quantify the uncertainty in measuring complex flow situations with two WindScanners. This is done by performing a large-eddy simulation while using the same measurement layout, modelling the WindScanner sensing characteristics and simulating similar inflow conditions observed in the field. The flow evolution in the induction zone of the downstream turbine was characterised by performing horizontal-plane dual-Doppler scans at hub height. The measurements were conducted for undisturbed, fully waked and partially waked flows. Evaluation of the engineering models of the undisturbed induction zone showed good agreement along the rotor axis. In the full-wake case, the measurements indicated a deceleration of the upstream turbine wake due to the downstream turbine induction zone as a result of the very short turbine spacing. During a wake steering experiment, the interaction between the laterally deflected wake of the upstream turbine and the induction zone of the downstream turbine could be measured for the first time in the field. Additionally, the analyses highlight the affiliated challenges while conducting field measurements with synchronised lidars.

Published: July 2024

Social media platforms provide avenues for content sharing and online interaction. However, excessive usage, particularly among young adults, can lead to clinical challenges. The study aims to explore the relationships between social media addiction, depression, and aggression in young adults, specifically investigating whether depression serves as a mediator between social media addiction and aggression. Using a convenient sampling method, the study included 150 participants (got their own smartphone and use social media) aged 18 to 30 (88 men, 62 women). The researchers evaluated social media addiction using the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale and assessed depression using the Beck Depression Inventory, and aggression was evaluated with the Puss Berry Aggression Questionnaire. Findings revealed significant positive connections between social media addiction, depression (r=.25, p<.01), and aggression (r=.26, p<.001), the relationship between depression and aggression is positively significantly as well (r=.35, p<.001). Depression mediates significantly between social media addiction and aggression as the direct and indirect effect are statistically significant. Notably, gender differences were observed, with women exhibiting significantly higher depression levels (M=19.31, SD=13.61, p<.01) compared to men. The independent sample t test for employment status shows that employed participants score high on depression (M=16.67, SD=14.32) and aggression (M=75.12, SD=15.93) but unemployed were slightly more addict of social media (M=16.46, SD=5.23). The study discusses implications for fostering positive societal changes by addressing social media addiction among young adults and enhancing awareness on how depression interplays between social media addiction and aggression. The results offer recommendations while acknowledging study limitations.

Published: July 2024

The main objective of this study is to investigate the importance, impacts, and challenges faced by teachers when carrying out in-service training programs. Using a descriptive research methodology, data was collected from 291 head teachers who were randomly selected through a questionnaire that was prepared specifically for this study. The key findings suggest that the gender and location of head teachers had no impact on their perspectives regarding the significance of in-service training for professional growth. Nevertheless, the way in which in-service training affects the professional growth of teachers differs greatly among districts. The study suggests that we should view professional development as a continuous process, where educational departments provide numerous opportunities for skill enhancement. Teachers are strongly urged to prioritize training programs and actively engage in all accessible opportunities, even if they require personal financial investment. In addition, it is essential for head teachers to frequently provide training programs that specifically target the competencies needed by their teachers.

This article presents a tentative review of the information about First Temple-period Judahite cult, which historians of religion can glean from the various inscriptions discovered so far. It surveys the various deities, sanctuaries, cultic rites, and feast days mentioned. When an inscription’s reading, dating, or interpretation is controversial, I take a stand as an epigrapher but also consider the archaeological context and biblical literature. This status quaestionis seems to capture an important historical evolution of Juhadite cult.
Гайана в фокусе латиноамериканской политики администрации Дж. Байдена
Authors: Требух Александр Дмитриевич
Published: July 2024

Американо-гайанские отношения остаются малоизученными в отечественной и зарубежной научной литературе. В то же время динамика региональной системы и рост влияния стран Латино-Карибской Америки в контексте американо-китайского соперничества определяют актуальность и необходимость уточнения существующего статуса США в этом регионе. В данной работе автором предпринимается попытка охарактеризовать американо-гайанские отношения и оценить роль Гайаны для региональной стратегии Вашингтона на современном этапе при администрации Дж. Байдена. Автор использует сравнительный метод, характеризуя внешнеполитические шаги США в отношении Гайаны при администрациях Д. Трампа и Дж. Байдена. Кроме того, автор пытается проанализировать и определить значение нематериальных факторов и идей, влияющих как на внешнеполитическую стратегию администрации Дж. Байдена, так и на восприятие этими странами друг друга. Автор приходит к выводу, что интенсификация американо-гайанских отношений при администрации Дж. Байдена окажет положительное влияние на обе страны, но в долгосрочной перспективе это не приведет к стратегическому партнерству. Несмотря на возможное снижение внимания к региону в целом с приходом республиканской администрации в 2025-м году, Соединенные Штаты Америки будут наращивать свое экономическое и военное присутствие в Гайане ввиду резко возросшей экономико-стратегической значимости страны.

Authors: Шукюров Алексей Тофикович
Published: July 2024

Новые медиа стали новым общественно-политическим пространством для обсуждения, а зачастую и для ожесточенных споров о политических и социальных вопросах. Цифровые медиаисточники, такие как социальные сети или информационные сайты, занимают центральное место в ландшафте политических коммуникаций. Это подтверждает возрастающую роль гражданина в политике и меняющуюся динамику политической коммуникации в условиях этих трансформаций. Растущий радиус новых медиа можно наблюдать как в развитых, так и в развивающихся странах. Пандемию COVID-19 можно рассматривать триггером этих событий – возникшее в результате более широкое использование виртуальных встреч для политической коммуникации стало постоянным. Революция новых медиатехнологий изменила и модель политической коммуникации, которая породила проблемы современному обществу. Информация обрушивается потоком на граждан, в результате снижается эффективность ее оценки, анализа и интерпретации. Информационная перегрузка стала вызовом человечеству. Возникающие последствия информационно-политической перегрузки требуют применения мер противодействия, которые воздействуют на причины информационной перегрузки.

Published: July 2024

Even though entrepreneurial firms make substantial contributions to both domestic and global economies and innovations, there is disagreement in the literature regarding how open innovation affects these firms' ability to succeed. The current research is an attempt to address the gaps by analyzing the intricacies and dynamics of entrepreneurial firms’ involvement in Open Innovation. Furthermore, the impact on performance is examined from a knowledge perspective. In Jordanian context, this study analyzed the link between stakeholder interactions, knowledge management, open innovation, and the performance of entrepreneurial firms. The findings demonstrated that open innovation activities are statistically significant to the overall performance of entrepreneurial firms. However, since it has an unintentional detrimental effect over the performance of entrepreneurial firms in Jordan, the moderating effect of stakeholder relations and the mediation effect of knowledge management has been analyzed. The moderating role of stakeholder relationships has been proven statistically which enriched the theoretical foundations of RBV and contingency theory by adding stakeholders’ theory into the combination of the two theories, at the end limitations and guidelines for future research along with practical implications are emphasized.

Published: July 2024

The present research investigates the use of omnichannel retailing and its influence on the Jordanian market, focusing on four important dimensions: integration, fulfilment, usability, and seamlessness. This study attempts to answer how strategies of omnichannel affect purchase-decisions and satisfaction of customers among students at private universities in Jordan as expectations for integrated purchase experiences that combine physical and digital channels continue to rise. Using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), this study empirically examines the relationships between various dimensions of omnichannel retailing and consumer decision-making. The findings reveal that strong integration across sales channels, fast delivery options, simple interfaces, and seamless transitions significantly enhance consumer decision-making. This underscores the importance of robust infrastructure facilities, dependable information availability options, flexible fulfillment methods, user-friendly interface designs as well as a smooth customer support system which all together make for a great shopping experience. Thus, local retailers are given clear recommendations to invest in current systems by diversifying their delivery alternatives, improving mobile platforms, and using data analytics to match marketing efforts. The main focus of this paper is effective merchandising practices that can help retailers connect with consumers effectively during changing market situations. Moreover, there are several lessons from this research for businesses operating under stiff competition but with the increasing needs of modern-day consumers.
The role of asset management on project performance moderated by environmental dynamism on Indonesia's mining project
Authors: Wahyudhi Widhi Setya , Sanny Lim , Simatupang Boto , Furinto Asnan
Published: July 2024

In Indonesia, the success of coal extraction largely depends on the role of mining contractors. One of these successes is determined by proper asset management amidst uncertainty in the coal business, such as sustainability and digitalization issues. However, research that identifies the role of asset management in improving the performance of mining projects is still rare. Therefore, this research investigates the impact of Information technology capability, sustainability practices, and asset management on improving the performance of coal mining contractor projects in Indonesia. This research uses quantitative methods, with questionnaire data filled in by 128 project managers of mining contractor projects spread across Indonesia and analyzed by applying structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that Information technology capability and sustainability practices have a substantial and beneficial effect on improving asset management, which then enhances the performance of mining contractors. Interestingly, there is no direct impact of Information technology capability and sustainability practices on the operational performance of mining projects, so asset management is highly needed. The originality of this study is in the recognition of asset management as a valuable asset for firms that have integrated Information technologies & sustainability practices, as it promotes improved operational performance of projects, and there is still rarely any previous research that examines sustainability practices and asset management, especially mining projects. This research contributes to developing the resource-based view (RBV) theory and also contributes managerially to the practices that mining contractors must carry out when dealing with uncertain business situations.

Published: July 2024

Hypercholesterolemia is strongly associated with elevated levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and reduced HDL cholesterol levels. Disruption of the fat oxidation process can trigger fat accumulation in the liver. Liver disorders can be detected through an increase in liver enzymes, namely SGOT and SGPT, and an increase in the LDH enzyme, which can be used as a biomarker if there is damage to the liver or cell death, as well as increased ROS. ROS production causes a decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Saurauia vulcani Korth is a plant belonging to the Actinidiaceae family and commonly utilised in herbal medicine. Several studies show that Sauaria vulcani Korth has antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic activity. This plant has several active ingredients, such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. Flavonoids can reduce total cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels and LDL levels. Extracts at doses of 50, 100, 200, 400 mg/KgBW with atorvastatin 0.80mg/KgBW were able to reduce levels of total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, SGOT, SGPT and increase HDL. At a dose of 200mg/KgBW, it can increase SOD and LDH levels. Ethanol extract of Saurauia vulcani Korth leaves has antihypercholesterolemic activity.

Material/Methods: The opinion of nurses working in therapeutic, surgical and intensive care units was studied (n=128). Questionnaires were used to assess the type of aggression displayed by the patient and the nurses' behavior. Documentary, sociological and statistical methods were used. Results: Verbal aggression by patients or their relatives occurs more often than physical aggression. Nurses indicate that they accept the patient's aggression as part of the nature of work, not paying attention to the patient's aggression (62.5%). The strategies applied by nurses after being the object of aggression were mainly sharing with family members, using food products, smoking, keeping silent/not discussing the event. The emotional feelings that aggression in the workplace causes are apathy, irritation/anger, and desire to leave as a reaction to aggressive behaviour. A relationship was established between the support received from the team and job satisfaction. Conclusion: Workplace aggression has a negative impact on the quality of professional activity and professional satisfaction. It is a negative factor in providing health care. It is a precondition for making mistakes.

This research aims to process remaining shampoo products originating from the sampo industry into vehicle shampoo so that it has sales value and also has good quality. Determining the formulation for making this vehicle shampoo uses the trial and error method. After that, the variation data obtained will be tested through a pH test, density test, viscosity test, foam power test and corrosivity test. The results obtained are that the remaining variation data for the 25 mL shampoo product is the most optimal data because it meets the requirements for pH, density, viscosity and foaming test results. The results obtained from the variation data to make the best formulation were 47% remaining shampoo, 8% LAS, 8% NaCl (0.5 N), 8% NaOH (0.1 N), 0.4% Essense (Bubble Gum). %, and Aquadest 30%. This formulation produces a pH value of 7.18. Meanwhile, the density is 1.0257 g/cm3. The viscosity of this composition is 2.999 Pa.s. The stability of the foam power is 66,7% and the corrosion resistance test results get a value of 0.145655 mm/year or in the "Good" category in terms of corrosion resistance.

Association schemes have been used in coding theory and other combinatorial problems. In this paper, we construct association schemes for the abelian groups Z_2^r,〖 Z〗_(n_1 )×Z_(n_2 )×⋯×Z_(n_r ), set of n ×n matrices over Z_m and for the general linear group of order 2 over Z_2,Z_4, and Z_6. We also obtain association schemes for symmetric groups and alternating groups of degree 4 and 5 using canonical forms.
Applying a Fuzzy Ordering Approach in Transportation Problems with Decagonal Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers
Authors: Nathiya K
Published: July 2024

In this study, the paper delves into precision challenges within traditional transportation problem solutions, which rigidly define cost, supply, and demand. Acknowledging the inherent vagueness in real world contexts, the research explores the efficacy of intuitive fuzzy sets as a potent tool. Organized into four distinct sections, this work utilizes decagonal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers for managing supply and demand, while upholding conventional approaches for cost considerations.
Employing a fuzzy ordering method, optimal solutions are derived by adjusting the configuration of decagonal intuitive fuzzy numbers across each segment. Through a comparative analysis, the
Study identifies the most effective solution, with initial sections addressing balanced geometric intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problems and the final part focusing on unbalanced scenarios, specifically emphasizing supply and demand complexities.
Open innovations in the regional economic system

The article reveals that the management of global economic processes is based on political power, the basis of which is money. To strengthen the system of power relations, money is fetishized and presented as a «golden calf», with the help of which the domination of one relatively small group of people over the entire human civilization takes place. With the help of money, the power of the geo-oligarchy is established as a subject of managing geopolitical processes in the world, representing an integrated unity of financial, industrial and political entities.
It is investigated that global financial capital, as a form of merger of industrial and banking monopolies, reflects such a phenomenon as Americocracy, which characterizes the power of parasitic oligarchic circles in the United States and oligarchic families close to them from other countries. After the creation of the Fed, the first geopolitical explosion occurred, which resulted in the entry of the US dollar onto the world stage as the main means of payment and reserve along with the pound sterling. This happened as a result of the First World War, after which a new world monetary system was formed. The second geopolitical explosion took place in 1938-1945. The third geopolitical explosion occurred in 1989-1993 and was caused by the geo-oligarchy’s goal of establishing the dollar as the main world currency on the entire planet. The fourth geopolitical explosion in the last century began on February 22, 2014 with a coup d’etat and an armed seizure of power in Ukraine and continues at the present time.
It is concluded that the geopolitical explosions that have occurred over the past 100 years are associated with the desire of the geooligarchy to dominate the world by creating a universal equivalent – world money.
DYNAMIC MINING DESIGN AND PLANNING MODE
Authors: Сытенков В.Н.
Published: July 2024

В статье рассмотрен динамичный режим проектирования и планирования горных работ, связанный с изменяющимися во времени и пространстве качественными и количественными характеристиками добываемого полезного ископаемого. Основная задача, решаемая при составлении ТЭП и планов развития освоения объекта, обусловлена последовательным смещением технико-экономической границы выемки запасов в сторону уменьшения их промышленного содержания.

The article considers the dynamic mode of mining design and planning associated with the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the extracted mineral changing in time and space. The main task to be solved in the preparation of TEP and development plans for the development of the facility is due to the consistent shift of the technical and economic boundary of the extraction of reserves towards a decrease in their industrial content.
