Can Archaeology Build a Dam? Sites and Politics in Turkey's Southeast Anatolia Project
Authors: Shoup Daniel
Published: November 2021

Since 1989, Turkey's Southeast Anatolia Project has constructed a dozen large dams on the Tigris and Euphrates, flooding hundreds of kilometers of river valley and inundating thousands of archaeological sites. Paradoxically, archaeology was used as an argument both for and against dam construction. Dam opponents insisted that sites would be destroyed, while proponents argued that dam construction provided funding for salvage archaeology. Non-archaeologists dominated the discussion, while archaeologists generally avoided political stances. In my examination of two case studies, I argue that each of these positions reflects a different conception of the social role of archaeology, identify which were the most politically effective, and explore the lessons of the GAP project for situations where archaeology is heavily politicized. Finally, I offer suggestions on how archaeologists can transform their ethical guidelines into decision-making tools.
Izolacja postpenalna w Krajowym Ośrodku Zapobiegania Zachowaniom Dyssocjalnym a poszanowanie praw i wolności człowieka
Authors:   Doktorantka Uniwersytetu Śląskiego, Katowice, Polska, Trzeja Patrycja
Published: November 2021

The aim of this paper is to draw the reader’s attention to the issue of post-penal isolation in the form provided for by the Act of 22 November 2013 on Proceedings Against Persons with Mental Disorders Posing a Threat to the Life, Health or Sexual Freedom of Others. The paper seeks to present the origins of the said institution, constitutional doubts related to the Act as well as the practical aspects of the operation of the National Centre for the Prevention of Antisocial Behaviour (KOZZD). The author is interested in the discrepancies between the theoretical assumptions about the operation of the Centre and the actual organisation of this facility as well as conditions of isolation there. In particular, the issues of overcrowding of KOZZD and its implications for the situation of detained individuals are discussed. The entire analysis is carried out in the context of human rights and freedoms. The article concludes with a summary of the considerations and a firm objection to the violations of the dignity of individuals in a democratic state ruled by law.
Serce Jezusa jako istota chrystocentrycznej estetyki Josepha kard. Ratzingera/Benedykta XVI. Studium teologiczno-muzyczne na przykładzie twórczości Henryka Mikołaja Góreckiego
Authors: Ziemlewski Mateusz
Published: November 2021

Joseph kard. Ratzinger w swojej twórczości teologicznej poświęcał uwagę estetyce, a zwłaszcza estetykom muzyki sakralnej. Interpretację opierał na teologii dogmatycznej nakierowanej chrystologicznie. Samą zaś estetykę wiązał z faktem przebicia Serca Pana Jezusa na krzyżu. Twierdził bowiem, że prawdziwe piękno łączy się z prawdą i nie może zaistnieć bez przyjęcia cierpienia, czego wyrazem jest przebicie serca. W przeciwnym razie piękno byłoby fałszywe, ponieważ odwodziłoby od ludzkiego życia. Tymczasem Chrystus stał się człowiekiem, gdyż współczuł ludziom. Również ta kategoria ma ważne miejsce w estetyce muzyki sakralnej. Droga piękna to droga powrotu do Boga w prawdzie. Henryk Mikołaj Górecki to kompozytor, którego twórczość często jest nadmiernie wiązana z postacią Maryi. Tymczasem Jezus Chrystus również ma swoje miejsce w muzycznym dorobku Góreckiego, również w aspekcie Najświętszego Serca.

Dalej, posługując się metodą analizy tekstu, autor wykazał deficyt pieśni liturgicznych, które zawierałyby treści mówiące o zmartwychwstaniu i nadziei.
Pore pressure coefficient in frozen soils
Authors: Lyu Chuangxin , Grimstad Gustav , Nishimura Satoshi
Published: November 2021

The Skempton pore pressure coefficient, B, is defined as the variation in pore pressure with the unit change in confining pressure under undrained conditions. The B parameter is an essential parameter to consider the coupled effects of solid–fluid compressibility and skeleton compressibility in a porous system. It is a key factor in exploring a possible definition of effective stress in frozen soil. However, limited experimental and theoretical research is available in the literature to give insight to the problem. Therefore, a series of B tests on frozen clay was conducted in this study. Results from these tests, along with tests on Ottawa sand, as available in the literature, are analysed considering the effect of the ice crystallisation mode on the skeleton stiffness. The measured B values were lower than expected compared with B values using models that consider single grain bulk stiffness. However, when the difference in bulk stiffness of ice and that of soil grains is considered, even an increase in pore volume, for an increase in fluid pressure, at constant Terzaghi effective stress is possible. The ‘pore stiffness’, which is different from the solid phase stiffness, can take a negative value and can be used to explain the low measured B values.
Neonatal Enterostomies; Evaluation with Complications and Mortality
Authors: KART Yeliz
Published: November 2021

Aim
The aim of this study is to evaluate the neonatal enterostomies performed in our clinic in the last 7 years and to discuss the complications, mortality and the causative factors.
Materials and Methods
From January 2015 to September 2021, 34 newborns who underwent enterostomy procedure as part of the treatment for a variety of intestinal disorders, medical records were reviewed retrospectively for birth week, birth weight, gender, primary disease, type of stoma, age at stoma closure, complications and mortality.
Results
Of 34 patients, 12 were female (35.3%) and 22 were male (64.7%). The mean birth weight of the patients was 2602 g (±927 g), and the average week of birth was 36 weeks (±3.2). Ileostomy was performed in 14 patients (41.2%), and colostomy was performed in 20 patients. Hirschprung’s disease is the commonest bowel anomaly with 13 patient (38.2%) requiring enterostomy and second anomaly is anorectal malformation with 8 patient (23.5%).
Complications developed in 5 patients (14.7%); 4 prolapse, 1 parastomal hernia. A statistically significant difference was found in the development of complications when birth weights were compared (p=0.038). Mortality developed in 5 patients (14.7%). When the week of birth was compared in terms of mortality, a significant difference was found between them (p=0.033).
Conclusions
Enterostomy is usually a temporary procedure in neonates and is closed when the primary disease is corrected. Considering the high risk of prolapse in infants with low birth weight, maximum care should be exercised when opening an enterostomy.
Investigation of Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Status in Chronic Kidney Failure Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis: A Survey Study
Authors: MUTLU YILMAZ Esmeray , ÖZER İsmail
Published: November 2021

Aim: Respiratory tract infections due to influenza virus are more mortal in hemodialysis patients than in the healthy population. These patients should be provided with influenza vaccination every year. In this study; the frequency of influenza vaccination in hemodialysis patients in our region and the factors affecting it were investigated.
Material and method: A total of 239 patients who had undergone hemodialysis for at least one year were asked the prepared questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS 20 program.
Results: The rate of seasonal influenza vaccination of the patients was 87%. Vaccination rates were found to be significantly higher in patients with a duration of hemodialysis longer than five years and those who were vaccinated in the last year (respectively p=0.02, p=0.016). The rate of pneumococcal vaccination in those vaccinated against influenza and the rate of vaccination in the families of these patients were also found to be significantly higher (p<0.01).
Conclusion: In this study, it was found that influenza vaccination rates were high in patients undergoing hemodialysis in our region. The reason for this is that the influenza vaccine is provided free of charge to those with chronic diseases every year by the Ministry of Health in our country.

Authors: ÇELİK Fatih , ULUCAN Pamuk Betül
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Aim: To compare corneal thickness measurements made at different times and to evaluate their dependence on individuals.
Materials and Methods: The central corneal thickness of the right eyes of 30 healthy young adults was measured by the first investigator at three different times by the Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) method. In addition, the fourth measurements were made by the second researcher at a different time. The obtained values were compared.
Results: The mean age was 29.8 ± 9.1 years. The mean CCT was 561.90 ± 37.6 µ in the first measurement, 562.20 ± 37.9 µ in the second measurement, and 562.80 ± 37.7 µ in the third measurement. In the measurement of CCT by the second investigator, the mean was 562.20 ± 38.0 µ. In statistical analysis, no significant difference was found between CCT values performed at different times (p<0.05). In addition, when the first measurement of the first researcher was compared with the first measurement of the second researcher, no significant difference was found between the CCT values of the two researchers (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Canon HS-100 AS-OCT device had very good reproducibility in the evaluation of CCT. There was no significant difference between the shots of different people. The use of OCT in daily practice is beneficial because it is both a non-contact method and has very good reproducibility in daily practice.
Keywords: Central corneal thickness, reproducibility, measurement
Chinese Direct Investments in the Russian Far East Economy
Authors: Zhao Zhihua , Gordyachkova Olga
Published: November 2021

The Far East is traditionally very attractive to Chinese business. The region has everything to attract Chinese investments: geographic proximity, accumulated experience of cooperation, differences in economic development and factors of complementarity. All these facts have an impact on the economic ties of the Russian Far East and the PRC. In theory, the Far East should become the main beneficiary of the strategic partnership between Moscow and Beijing. Currently, the four southern regions of the Russian Far East demonstrate different models of China’s economic activity, depending on the historical background and the level of economic development.
The bulk of Chinese investment in the Russian economy comes from intergovernmental cooperation, especially in the energy sector and large infrastructure projects, while there are few private investors from China. Therefore, Chinese investors face the problem of transforming their activities and looking for new business opportunities.
This paper systematizes the main projects of Russian-Chinese investment cooperation carried out through intergovernmental agreements, as well as investigates the dynamics of direct investment from China. Despite the positive trend, it was revealed that the total amount of accumulated investments is decreasing with debt instruments being the main share of it. In the northern regions of the Far East, the activity of Chinese investors is practically excluded. The authors identify the main problems of Russian-Chinese investment cooperation in the Far East based on the analysis of Russian and foreign studies.

X-ışını görüntülerinden omuz implantlarının tespiti ve sınıflandırılması: YOLO ve önceden eğitilmiş evrişimsel sinir ağı tabanlı bir yaklaşım
Authors: KARACI Abdulkadir
Published: November 2021

Omuz implantları yerleştirildikten belirli bir süre sonra değiştirilmelidir. Ancak bu değişim sırasında implant üreticisini veya modelini belirlemek tıbbi uzmanlar için genellikle hataya açık ve zor bir işlemdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı 597 adet omuz implantı X-ışını görüntülerinden 4 farklı implant üreticisini tespit etmektir. Bu amaçla hem önceden eğitilmiş ESA mimarileri (DenseNet201, DenseNet169, InceptionV3, NasNetLarge, VGG16, VGG19 ve Resnet50) hem de bu mimarilerin YOLOv3 tespit algoritmasıyla beslendiği kademeli modeller oluşturulmuş ve bu modellerin sınıflandırma performansları karşılaştırılmıştır. Kademeli modellerdeki YOLOv3 tespit algoritmasının görevi omuz implantlarının baş bölgesini tespit ederek bu bölgeyi ESA mimarilerine giriş olarak vermektir. Bunun yanı sıra geleneksel makine öğrenmesi yöntemleri topluluk (Ensemble) öğrenme yöntemi ile birleştirilerek veri seti üzerindeki performansları ortaya konulmuştur. En yüksek sınıflandırma performansı %84,76 doğruluk oranıyla kademeli DenseNet201 modelinde elde edilmiştir. Bu oran literatürde benzer veri setini kullanan başka bir çalışmaya göre daha yüksektir. Topluluk modellerin sınıflandırma doğruluğu ise önemli ölçüde ESA modellerinden daha düşüktür. Ayrıca YOLO destekli kademeli modellerin sınıflandırma doğruluğu bireysel ESA modellerinden daha yüksektir. Yani, YOLOV3 tespit algoritması ile implantın baş bölgesine odaklanmak sınıflandırma doğruluğunu artırmıştır. Bu yöntem bu alanda yapılacak sonraki çalışmalara ilham verecektir.
Chlamydia pneumoniae-Induced Neuroinflammation Cell Model Using Lyophilized Cell-Free Supernatant v1
Authors: Kaya Tilki Elif
Published: November 2021

Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) is a gram-negative intracellular pathogen that causes a variety of pulmonary diseases, and there is growing evidence that it may play a role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Cpn can interact functionally with host histones, altering the host's epigenetic regulatory system by introducing bacterial products into the host tissue and inducing a persistent inflammatory response. Because Cpn is difficult to propagate, isolate, and detect, a modified LPS-like neuroinflammation model was established using lyophilized cell free supernatant (CFS) obtained from infected cell cultures, and the effects of CFS were compared to LPS.
Impact of the 2020 Pandemic on Revenue from Various Taxes in the Russian Regions
Authors:   Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Malkina Marina Yu.
Published: November 2021

The article investigates the impact of the 2020 pandemic on tax revenues of Russian regions at the stages of their collection and allocation to regional budgets. To exclude the influence of the seasonal component and uneven receipts of various taxes to the budget, the moving annual tax revenues were calculated with a shift of one month. Based on these data for 2013-March 2020, linear time regressions were built and decomposed into 8 taxes and tax groups. These regressions were used to predict non-pandemic tax revenues for different regions in April-December 2020. The impact of the pandemic on the regional tax losses (gains) and their decomposition by sources was calculated through the deviation of the actual revenues from their predicted non-pandemic values on an accrual basis until the end of 2020. We found that the pandemic had led to losses of 13.9 % of total tax revenues in the country and 6.2 % of regional budgets’ own tax revenues. The mining regions are the most affected by the pandemic. On the contrary, in some Far Eastern regions, there is an abnormal increase in tax collections. The largest contribution to the decrease in tax revenues at the consolidated and federal levels was made by the MET receipts; they fell sharply due to lower prices and volumes of oil and gas. However, the negative effect of this decrease at the federal level was dampened by stabilizing VAT receipts. Excise taxes played a positive role in mitigating pandemic risks. The tax distribution system has shown its equalizing function when allocating tax revenues to sub-federal budgets. The largest negative contribution to the change in regional tax revenues during the 2020 pandemic was made by the corporate income tax, while the negative impact of property taxes and special tax regimes turned out to be less significant. Personal income tax has proven to be the main damper of tax revenues at the regional level. The results obtained are applicable to the management of the state fiscal revenues during pandemic crises

Authors:   Interregional Centre for Environmental Audit and Consulting, Potravnaya Evgenia V.
Published: November 2021

The article considers the mechanism of taking into account and evaluating the opinion of the population when implementing investment projects for industrial development of the territory in the Russian Arctic. To identify priority social problems, it is proposed to conduct sociological surveys of the population throughout the life cycle of projects. The information base of the study was the materials of ethnological expertise of projects for the exploration and production of alluvial diamonds in the Anabar and Oleneksky ulus (districts) of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), as well as sociological surveys of the population in the framework of assessing the consequences of the diesel fuel spill in Norilsk and the consequences of its impact in the Taimyr Dolgan-Nenets Municipal District of the Krasnoyarsk region. Based on the conducted surveys of the population, the article identifies social problems associated with the industrial development of the territory and gives a comparative analysis of social problems at different stages of the implementation of mining projects. Besides, the article discusses the low level of income of the population, the outflow of young people, the reduction in the number of objects of traditional use, and the problems of preserving cultural traditions. It also draws conclusions about the relationship of social problems and proposes measures to reduce the consequences of identified social problems
Kuzbass Economy and Carbon Control Tools
Authors:   Kemerovo State University, Mekush Galina E. , Panov Andrey A.
Published: November 2021

Kuzbass is a resource-type region. Therefore, any prospective carbon control law is a very relevant issue for this part of Siberia. Carbon control laws aim at meeting the environmental standards set up by the Paris Agreement. For Kuzbass, carbon control means production restrictions and poor competitiveness. The research objective was to assess the potential of Kuzbass economy for the period of climate adaptation. The authors analyze various performance evaluation methods that are used to assess carbon control tools, as well as various scenarios for the development of Russian economy. The analysis shows that Kuzbass demonstrates no orientation towards structural and technological modernization, thus proving unready for the transition to low-carbon economy. Local ecosystems are able to absorb no more than 13 % of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while the economic indicators of the carbon intensity keep decreasing as the growth rates of the gross regional product (GRP) outstrip the consumption of fuel and energy resources. Local decision-makers can be recommended to pay special attention to the implementation rate of the best available technologies, as well as to the replication of the experience of effective climate strategies, including the sector of land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF). Carbon polygons and carbon farms can be a promising tool for the development of LULUCF sector, as they will also be able to increase the competitiveness of local companies on the carbon market
Toward the Sustainable Development of Russian Regions: A Comprehensive Review of Empirical Research
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Pyzheva Yulia I. , Zander Evgeniya V. , Pyzhev Anton I.
Published: November 2021

The paper provides a comprehensive review of empirical research on the sustainability of development of Russian regions. Methods of bibliometric analysis are used to achieve the set task. Samples of publications for substantive analysis are constructed using the leading academic databases: Scientific electronic library eLIBRARY.ru and its project Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI), Scopus, Web of Science. The results of the study show that despite the increasing public and political attention to the problems of sustainability, ecologization of the economy, improving the well-being of the population, there are few high-quality scientific studies that make a significant contribution to the analysis of sustainability of the Russian regions. Most of the research is of a staged or descriptive nature, and there are very few quantitative studies that are in such high demand on the modern international scientific market. For example, assessments of sustainability levels have covered only a small part of Russian regions over a very short period not exceeding five years on average, and using a very narrow range of tools. This is clearly insufficient for use as alternatives to traditional macroeconomic measures of well-being of territories, which significantly narrows the demand for these results in practice. The shortage of publications on the topic of sustainability of Russian regions can be perceived as a direction for the development of relevant research, opening new directions and even creating new teams
Innovation Strategies within the Transforming Russian Electric Power Sector
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Burda Yegor D.
Published: November 2021

Currently, Russian electric power sector is influenced by two divergent tendencies: on the one hand, we can observe a structural transformation of the industry and increasing role of innovations; on the other hand, it is still subject to regulation, while reliability and safety of power supply remain of paramount importance. This situation creates a unique opportunity to explore which innovation strategies are chosen by companies and which factors have the greatest influence on their decisions. A qualitative study was conducted based on a set of semi-structured interviews with several managers of Russian power companies. Further analysis allowed to reveal the dominant innovation strategies employed within the industry: traditional contracts, in-house development, closed and open innovation ecosystems. This study also revealed factors that determine the choice of an innovation strategy: goals of the firm and type of market it aims to operate at. The results provide managers with insights allowing them to make better-grounded decisions in terms of choosing an innovation strategy within various settings

Published: November 2021

The article presents the results of the archaeological excavations of the Summer House of the bishop in Krasnoyarsk. An analysis of the finds revealed two historical complexes of objects. The pre-revolutionary complex opens the summer residence of the Metropolitan of Yenisey, Ahcinsk and Dormitory Monastery. Researchers noted the presence of expensive, prestigious things that are rarely found in archaeological complexes. Ceramics of the end of XIX – the beginning of XX are important for the development of the chronology of ceramics of the Russian population of Yenisei province. The second set of objects is connected with the first school-commune in Krasnoyarsk, which was opened after the revolution on the territory of the monastery. The inhabitants of the Bishop’s Summer House used not rare and expensive things, but they used consumer goods. Items came from the central supply of social institutions. Dishes with agitation images, export Soviet faience, flanged glasses and glass dishes were found. The complexes of 1920–1930 are not archaeological values now. But they demonstrate the specificity of this period in Russian history

The fundamental possibility of using data on the state of hemostasis in general and particular classifying and prognostic systems to determine the severity and stage of the disease is shown.
On the tactics of penicillin treatment for patients with pneumonia
Authors: Smirnov G. A.
Published: November 2021

The effectiveness of intramuscular administration of usual (800 thousand units per day) and increased (12 million units per day) doses of benzylpenicillin in 281 patients with acute, prolonged and chronic pneumonia was studied. Increased doses of the drug had a therapeutic effect in 80% of patients in whom its use in usual doses was unsuccessful. When using higher doses, the dependence of the effect of penicillin on the resistance to it of the coccal flora isolated from the sputum of patients was leveled. The high efficiency of penicillin therapy led to the conclusion that gram-positive cocci play a decisive role in the etiology of pneumonia. It was concluded that it is advisable to prescribe higher doses of benzylpenicillin intramuscularly in the absence of the effect of using it in usual doses, only if the intramuscular administration of high doses of benzylpenicillin is unsuccessful, one should switch to intravenous infusions or use semisynthetic drugs.

The Role of Frontal Thrusts in Tsunami Earthquake Generation

Published: November 2021

The frontal sections of subduction zones are the source of a poorly understood hazard: “tsunami earthquakes,” which generate larger-than-expected tsunamis given their seismic shaking. Slip on frontal thrusts is considered to be the cause of increased wave heights in these earthquakes, but the impact of this mechanism has thus far not been quantified. Here, we explore how frontal thrust slip can contribute to tsunami wave generation by modeling the resulting seafloor deformation using fault-bend folding theory. We then quantify wave heights in 2D and expected tsunami energies in 3D for both thrust splays (using fault-bend folding) and down-dip décollement ruptures (modeled as elastic). We present an analytical solution for the damping effect of the water column and show that, because the narrow band of seafloor uplift produced by frontal thrust slip is damped, initial tsunami heights and resulting energies are relatively low. Although the geometry of the thrust can modify seafloor deformation, water damping reduces these differences; tsunami energy is generally insensitive to thrust ramp parameters, such as fault dip, geological evolution, sedimentation, and erosion. Tsunami energy depends primarily on three features: décollement depth below the seafloor, water depth, and coseismic slip. Because frontal ruptures of subduction zones include slip on both the frontal thrust and the down-dip décollement, we compare their tsunami energies. We find that thrust ramps generate significantly lower energies than the paired slip on the décollement. Using a case study of the 25 October 2010 Mw 7.8 Mentawai tsunami earthquake, we show that although slip on the décollement and frontal thrust together can generate the required tsunami energy, <10% was contributed by the frontal thrust. Overall, our results demonstrate that the wider, lower amplitude uplift produced by décollement slip must play a dominant role in the tsunami generation process for tsunami earthquakes.

Authors: ORHAN Davut
Published: November 2021

Suudi Arabistanlı kadınların sosyal ve kültürel anlamda ön plana çıkmalarının kapısını aralayan Semîra Hâşıkcî, şüphesiz ki ülkedeki edebî çalışmaların da öncülerinden biridir. Dindarlığı yanı sıra eğitime önem vermesiyle tanınmış saygın ve köklü ailelerden olan Hâşıkcî ailesinin bir ferdi olan Semîra gençliğinde ülkede eğitim olanaklarının yoklukluğundan ötürü yurt dışında eğitim almıştır. Ülkesinin gelişmesi için görev ve sorumluluklarının bilincinde olarak, edindiği bilgi ve birikimi hem ulusal hem de uluslararası platformda paylaşmayı önemsemiş, entelektüel bir kadın yazar olarak var gücüyle mücadele etmiştir. Toplumun gelişimine yönelik için çeşitli konularda değerlendirmeler yaparak halkı bilinçlendirmeye çalışmış, bazı özgürlükçü projelere imza atmıştır. 1960 yılında yayımladığı Vedda’tu emâlî adlı eseri, Suudlu bir kadın yazar tarafından kaleme alınan ilk roman olarak edebiyat tarihine geçerek, edebiyatın erkek yazarların tekelinde olduğu düşüncesini sarsmıştır. Pek çok Suudlu kadın da ondan ilham ve cesaret alarak sosyal ve edebî faaliyetlere katkı sunmuştur. İşte bu çalışmada Semîra Hâşıkcî’nin hayatı ele alınacak, edebî ve kültürel faaliyetleri anlatılacak son olarak da kaleme aldığı başlıca eserlerine ışık tutulacaktır.

Entre el 2000 y el 2019, se observaron mejoras en la continuidad del suministro eléctrico en los países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). A partir de una muestra de 143 distribuidoras eléctricas, estimase que la duración media de las interrupciones por cliente / año (SAIDI) ha disminuido en 40% y la frecuencia media de las interrupciones por cliente / año (SAIFI) en 45%. Durante este mismo período, varios países adoptaron instrumentos regulatorios para medir indicadores de calidad, y establecer estándares mínimos o estímulos para reducir las interrupciones en el suministro de energía eléctrica. El presente estudio discute el impacto de la regulación en mejorar la calidad del suministro de energía eléctrica en países de ALC. Con ese objetivo, se aplica un modelo econométrico utilizando los datos públicos disponibles de los reguladores y empresas de cada país para analizar el impacto de la regulación de calidad sobre los indicadores SAIDI, SAIFI y equivalentes, además de la influencia de otras características de las empresas de distribución sobre dichos indicadores. El análisis fue realizado en sólo nueve países de la región debido a la indisponibilidad de datos para los demás: Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panamá, Perú y República Dominicana. Los resultados demuestran la efectividad del uso de instrumentos regulatorios para mejorar la calidad.
Investigation of engine performance and emission parameters of a diesel engine fueled with Foeniculum vulgare oil biodiesel – ammonia mixtures
Authors: BÖYÜKDİPİ Ömer , TÜCCAR Gökhan
Published: November 2021

Past studies revealed that Foeniculum vulgare oil biodiesel (FVB) can be used as a good candidate for diesel fuels. Ammonia (NH3) as a fuel additive can be mixed with other fuels to eliminate some disadvantages of the fuels in engine performance and emission. In view of such information, this study aims to investigate the effects of FVB with NH3 additive on engine performance and emission parameters in Diesel-RK Programme. In this study, FVB was mixed with NH3 additive in different proportions (FVB100, FVB95A5, FVB90A10, FVB85A15 and FVB80A20). The exhaust emissions (Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Particulate Matter (PM) and Smoke Opacity) and engine performance (Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC), Power, Torque and Volumetric Efficiency) parameters were evaluated according to the combustion simulations in different RPM values. As a result of this study, some obtained results were revealed that the NH3 additive in FVB significantly decreased the NOx parameter. However, when the NH3 content in FVB was increased, PM and smoke opacity parameters increased. For the engine performance parameters, the NH3 additive in FVB adversely affected the engine power and torque parameters. On the other hand, specific fuel consumption and volumetric efficiency showed an increment trend as the NH3 content in FVB was increased.

Pomiritveni postopki in policijsko delo v skupnosti
Authors: Flander Benjamin
Published: November 2021

V prispevku so predstavljene ugotovitve raziskave stališč vodij policijskih enot in njihovih pooblaščencev o ključnih vprašanjih pomiritvenega postopka. Intervjuvali smo uslužbence policije (komandirje policijskih postaj ali njihove pomočnike), ki so imeli v zadnjih treh letih izkušnje z vodenjem pomiritvenega postopka. Sogovornikom smo zastavili dvajset vprašanj, ki so se med drugim nanašala na število (ne)uspešno izvedenih pomiritvenih postopkov, izobraževanje in usposabljanje za izvajalce, pripravo na izvedbo, monitoring, strukturo pritožnikov (občani in drugi), pritožbene razloge, (ne)sodelovanje pritožnikov in policistov v postopku, nepristranskost in neodvisnost, pomanjkljivosti veljavne normativne ureditve ter možnosti za izboljšanje ureditve in prakse s področja izvajanja pomiritvenega postopka. Delno smo zavrnili hipotezo, da izvajalci pomiritvene postopke prepoznajo kot pomemben vzvod neposredne komunikacije med policijo in prebivalci oziroma občani, glede na to, da se v večini primerov izvajajo na policijskih postajah, ki predstavljajo lokalno raven organiziranosti policije, pa tudi kot vzvod policijskega dela v (lokalni) skupnosti.

Authors: Bernik Igor
Published: November 2021

Policijsko delo v skupnosti v zadnjih letih ni najbolj zastopano zaradi različnih, večinoma znanih vzrokov. Da bi se razmere spremenile in eventualno izboljšale, je ena izmed možnosti približevanja policije k občanom z uporabo elektronskih rešitev, ki jih omogočajo sodobne informacijsko-komunikacijske poti. Prispevek bo predstavil pregled primerov vrhunskih možnosti tehnično tehnoloških platform v svetu in primere povezovanja na tem področju v Sloveniji. Na podlagi pregleda in ciljev promocije policijskega dela v skupnosti preko elektronskih kanalov bodo podane smernice, kako posamezni policijski okoliši lahko uporabijo, nadgradijo ali zgradijo ustrezen sistem, ki bo povezal omenjena deležnika – policijo in prebivalstvo.
Veliki obeti in spreminjajoči se razvoj policijskega dela v skupnosti

Published: November 2021

Policijsko delo v skupnosti vsebuje filozofsko, strateško, organizacijsko, metodično in taktično perspektivo. V Sloveniji se je policijsko delo v skupnosti začelo razvijati v sredini 1990-ih let kot izključno preventivno delo, kasneje pa se je to močno spreminjalo zaradi različnih dejavnikov. Leta 2013 je slovenska policija v usmerjevalnem dokumentu Policijsko delo v skupnosti poudarila vlogo vodij policijskih okolišev in vseh drugih policistov pri izvajanju policijskega dela v skupnosti. Ta pristop bolj spominja na splošno opravljanje policijskega dela v demokratični družbi v skladu z načelom varuj in služi (ang. protect and serve) kot pa na policijsko delo v skupnosti. Številne težave pri organizaciji dela, kadrovska problematika in drugi dejavniki kažejo na težave izvajanja policijskega dela v skupnosti. Razlike med deklariranimi načini izvedbe policijskega dela v skupnosti in prakso so, razen redkih izjem, značilne za vse države, tudi Slovenijo. Te izjeme lahko služijo kot primeri dobre prakse.

An enterprise organization need good brand equity to survive in a fiercely competitive market. Marketing communication plays an important role in establishing brand equity. The study aims to analyze the effect of Marketing Communication that consists of advertising, sales promotion, and eWOM on brand equity with brand image, brand trust, and brand loyalty as the intervening variables. This study employs a quantitative method with a sample of 314 respondents, who are consumers of smartphones. The data is analyzed with SEM technique with Amos 21 application. Results of the study indicate a significantly positive effect of advertising and eWOM on brand image. eWOM exerts a larger effect on brand image than advertising. However, sales promotion does not affect brand image. Sales Promotion and eWOM have a significantly positive effect on brand trust, while advertising has a significantly negative effect on brand trust. Brand trust has a significantly positive effect on brand loyalty. Nevertheless, the brand image does not affect brand loyalty. Meanwhile, brand loyalty has a significantly positive effect on the brand equity of smartphone products purchased by consumers. Of the three variables of marketing communication studied, eWOM has the largest indirect effect on brand equit.
