THE PERSPECTIVE OF SCHOOL-BASED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY INTERVENTION TO ENHANCE THE PARTICIPATION OF LEARNERS WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Authors: Hovyan Gohar , Harutyunyan Zaruhi
Published: March 2022

The aim of this study was to investigate the participation problems in school activities of the learners with special educational needs in order to establish the possible ways of Occupational Therapy intervention in school settings in Armenia. In total 111 learners with special educational needs were observed and their participation in educational and non-educational activities was assessed using the "Occupational Therapy School Skills Assessment'' tool. Since the educational environment considered being crucial for the learnersâ€™ participation, the school environment was observed to determine the features facilitating or burdening their involvement in all kinds of school activities.
Quantitative research methodology was used to outline and summarize the participation problems of learners with special educational needs for establishing the possible ways of Occupational Therapy intervention.
The results of this study highlighted that in the inclusive school in Armenia the learners with special educational needs still had participation restriction and their involvement in educational and non-educational activities was limited due to lack of individual skills and abilities, as well as not adapted environmental conditions. Learners with physical dysfunctions (62%) experienced mobility problems and had significant difficulties performing self-care activities, about 65% were not able to take part in outdoor events, permanent support and assistance were required. For the learners with autistic spectrum disorder (50%) communication with peers and staff members was still challenging and participation in the educational process was not effective.

Published: March 2022

В статье представлены результаты исследования металлургических тиглей из ювелирных мастерских одной из столиц Золотой Орды – Сарая ал-Джедид, производивших золотые украшения в 40–70-е годы XIV века. Методом сканирующей электронной микроскопии (SEM–EDS) определен химический состав глиняного материала тиглей и, в большей степени, состав тигельных шлаков, образовавшихся в контактной зоне между стенками сосудов и их заполнением в процессе плавки. Авторами установлен состав формовочной массы тиглей, практически идентичный составу столовой посуды из расположенной рядом гончарной мастерской. В статье также приводятся данные пробирного анализа продукции мастерской. Проба золота показывает, что мастерство ювелиров и качество технической керамики позволили достичь высоких результатов.
A methodology for sectoral analysis of the economy
Authors: KOGDENKO Vera G.
Published: March 2022

Subject. The article analyzes sectors of the Russian economy, based on the Harvard Paradigm.
Objectives. The purpose is to develop a sectoral analysis technique and test it on the Russian enterprises data.
Methods. I employ general scientific principles and research methods, like abstraction, generalization of approaches of domestic and foreign authors on identification, development and analysis of sectors, and the industry analysis.
Results. The presented technique for analyzing economic sectors includes three stages. At the first stage, I investigate basic conditions, namely factors (forces) of competition in the sector under study, profitability and risk, and special aspects of State regulation. At the second stage, I analyze the behavior of companies in the sector and assess the operational efficiency, investment and financial activity of enterprises. At the third stage, the indicators of value creation and dynamics of sector development are analyzed. The methodology was tested on data from enterprises in four sectors of the economy: primary (extraction of coal, oil, natural gas, etc.), secondary (production of chemicals, iron and steel production, etc.), tertiary (water, air, and space transport, etc.), and quaternary (development of computer software, activities in the field of information technology, R&D).
Conclusions. I tested the hypothesis about the dynamics of economic sectors’ development based on calculations, and identified positive trends in the Russian economy, i.e. the faster growth of tertiary and quaternary sectors and their relatively high efficiency. As for negative trends, they include low investment activity of enterprises, posing a threat to economic growth.

La construcción de un sistema de integridad institucional en la Administración de Castilla y León (2007-2021)
Authors: Heredero Ortiz de la Tabla Luis
Published: March 2022

La extendida percepción de corrupción y la correlativa desafección de los ciudadanos hacia la política y las instituciones han dado lugar a la puesta en marcha de políticas públicas destinadas a atajar y prevenir esas prácticas inadecuadas. La Administración de Castilla y León no es una excepción en este panorama, y ante la inexistencia de observatorios o estudios de opinión que evalúen su situación, resulta oportuno efectuar un análisis acerca de la política de integridad institucional desarrollada por la Junta de Castilla y León. Este trabajo trata de dar respuesta a la siguiente pregunta: ¿los instrumentos de regeneración democrática que ha adoptado la Administración de Castilla y León entre los años 2007 y 2021 conforman un verdadero «sistema de integridad institucional»? Como resultado principal de esta investigación se concluye que en Castilla y León se han implementado numerosas medidas de regeneración democrática que pueden conformar un sistema de integridad institucional, pero se encuentran aún en proceso de formación y desarrollo, y falta un sistema continuo de evaluación que le proporcione la denominación de «integral».

Fisher Denklemindeki Risk Primi Parametresinin Durum Uzay Modeli Ve Kalman Filtresi İle Tahmini: Türkiye Örneği
Authors: ÖZBEK Levent , KAYNAK ŞEN Rezzan
Published: March 2022

İktisadi teoriler evrensel olmakla birlikte koşullara, zamana ve toplumlara göre farklı görünümler alır. Bu nedenle yapılan bir analizden elde edilen sonuçların her yerde ve her koşulda geçerli olarak algılanmaması gerekir. Bir ülkede riski artıran bir gelişme başka bir ülkede aynı etkiyi yaratmayabilir. Gerek faiz oranlarındaki gerekse risk primindeki bu oynaklığın altında yatan şey beklentilerdir ki; ekonomik ilişkiler, farklı ülkelerde çeşitli dönemlerde oldukça değişik görünümler sergileyebilir. Bu çalışmada faizin vade yapısı Beklentiler Hipotezi (BH) açısından ele alınarak zamanla değişen risk primi Kalman filtresi kullanılarak tahmin edilmiştir. Kalman filtresi yaklaşımı, faiz oranındaki değişimlerin oynaklığını, risk primindeki olası kalıcı değişimleri ve üst üste gelen tahmin hatalarını dikkate almaktadır. Çalışmada Türkiye ekonomisine ait 2002:01-2018:10 dönemi için aylık faiz oranı (TL üzerinden açılan mevduatlara ilişkin faiz oranı) verilerinden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmanın en önemli özelliği, Türkiye ekonomisi için risk primini değiştirmeye sebep olan faktörlerin zaman boyunca önceden belirlenmeksizin Kalman filtresi ile nasıl tahmin edeceğimizi sağlamasıdır. Kalman filtresi kullanılarak elde edilen risk primi tahminlerine göre, risk primi bazı dönemlerde pozitif, bazı dönemlerde ise negatif değerler almaktadır. Risk primi, oynaklığın yüksek olduğu dönemlerde negatif, oynaklığın düşük olduğu dönemlerde ise pozitif tahmin edilmiştir. Elde edilen tahmin sonuçları rasyonel yatırımcılara faiz oranlarındaki gelecek değişimlere ait belirsizlikler hakkında önemli ve yararlı bilgiler sunmaktadır.

Authors: BİLGİN Cevat
Published: March 2022

Savunma harcamasının ekonomik büyüme üzerinde olumlu ya da olumsuz etkileri olduğuna dair teorik açıklamalar ve bu açıklamaları destekleyen uygulamalı çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 1960-2019 dönemi için Türkiye’de savunma harcamasının ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisi, doğrusal olmayan gecikmesi dağıtılmış model (NARDL) tahmin edilerek ve asimetrik nedensellik testi (Hatemi-J testi) yapılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bu yöntemler yoluyla savunma harcamasındaki artma veya azalma yönündeki değişimlerin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkileri ayrıştırılmış olmaktadır. Hem NARDL model bulguları hem de asimetrik nedensellik test sonuçları savunma harcamasının ekonomik büyüme üzerinde asimetrik etkilerinin olduğunu, savunma harcamasındaki artışın büyüme üzerinde etkisi yok iken, savunma harcamasındaki azalmanın anlamlı bir etkisi olduğunu göstermiştir. Bunun yanında, Türkiye’de bu örneklem dönemi için, elde edilen uzun dönem esneklik katsayıları savunma harcamasındaki azalmanın ekonomik büyüme üzerinde olumlu etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur

Published: March 2022

This study aims to set up a 3D static model to characterize and evaluate Mishrif Formation which represents the main reservoir in Buzurgan Oilfield, southern Iraq. Six wells have been selected to set up structural, facies and petrophysical models of Mishrif reservoir by using Petrel Software. The structural model has been built based on the structural contour map of the top of Mishrif Formation, which derived from seismic interpretation, and by using different static algorithms in Petrel Software. The structural model showed that the Buzurgan Oilfield represents an anticlinal fold with two domes north and south separated by a depression. The petrophysical model included the porosity model and water saturation model. The results of petrophysical models showed lateral and vertical variations in the porosity and water saturation characteristics of the Mishrif reservoir. The integration between the structural and petrophysical models illustrated that the main productive zones in Mishrif reservoir are MB21, MC1 and MC2 units.

Authors: Ghafil Jenan A. , Flieh May T.
Published: March 2022

Preparation of nanoparticles is one of the important ways to increase the biological effectiveness of materials. There are several methods to prepare the polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) nanoparticles. Here, a new method is used based on exposing PHB to ultrasound waves under variable pH conditions. In the present study, PHB was added to distilled water and pH was adjusted to 4 by HCl (1 N). The suspension was exposed to ultrasound waves at 4500 kh for 25 seconds. Then, pH was readjusted to 10 by NaoH (1N) and the mixture was incubated for 2 h at 21 oC.  Finally, the pH was adjusted to 7 by HCl (1 N) and the  mixture was incubated at 21 oC for 18 h. The characterization of the prepared nanoparticles was achieved by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometer, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results demonstrated the formation of nanoparticles,  especially after examinations by SEM and AFM, which showed that the diameter of particles was between 22.9 and 73.95. The present study confirmed that the method of exposing PHB to gradient pH and high levels of ultrasonic waves could produce PHB nanoparticles.

Published: March 2022

The rapid development of automation industries and technologies has shown incredible prospects for transforming our homes into a smart home automation system, which are more secure than a simple home. This paper proposes a home application based on voice and text called the Automated Control and Monitoring System (ASCM). This application can be utilized by both normal and vision-impaired people by using with a mobile phone.

The application allows users to send voice commands through Google Assistant installed on Android to control the appliances. They can also have complete monitoring by logging onto the ThingSpeak dashboard, which displays a device status indicator and sends alert messages in the event of danger. The NodeMCU development board based on the ESP8266 and a combination of sensors, modules and actuators were used to create a "control system" for home appliances based on the Internet of Things (IoT). This work mitigates the challenges that faced the design of smart homes based on (IoT).  The control and monitoring system is using voice without the need to use programming languages. As well as the automation process is not only on / off but also querying the status of any device sensors. In addition, this application dispenses with IFTTT(If-This-Then-that) services to send alert messages because their number is limited during the month, compared to the alerts provided by the Blynk app, which is unlimited. Mobile phones and robotic homes will make life easier and more enjoyable for the elderly and differently abled people who are unable to manually turn the items ON/OFF.
Evaluation of the Effects of Tigris River Water Quality on the Rotifers Community in Northern Baghdad by using the Canadian Water Quality Index (CCME-WQI)
Authors: Abed Intisar F. , Nashaat Muhanned R. , Mirza Nada N. A.
Published: March 2022

The water quality index was used for the evaluation of the quality of water, as well its impacts on the rotifer abundance, in the Tigris River as it passes through Mishahda City, northern Baghdad. Five sites were selected and samples were collected during October 2019 to September 2020. It was noticed that the index values in most sites have exceeded the upper limits of river waters. The values ranged from 40 (Poor) to 45 (Marginal) in all sites. While, the values were from 42 (Poor) to 65 (Fair) during different seasons. As for drinking usages, the results demonstrated poor or undrinkable (31-40) water in all sites. Meanwhile, the values ranged from 39 (Poor) to 56 (Clear) in regard to seasons. The index values recorded for the purpose of Conservation of Aquatic Organisms ranged from 36 (Poor) to 66 (Fair) in the all sites, and 56 (Clear) to 69 (Fair) during different seasons. Twenty five rotifer species were recorded, including 11, 2, 1, 5, 2, 1, 2, and 1 species of Brachionidae, Euchlanidae, Gastropodidae, Lecanidae, Lapadellidae, Notomanatidae, Synchoetidae, and Trichotoidae, respectively. It is concluded that the water of the Tigris on Mishahda City is considered to be highly contaminated and not suitable for human consumption without the necessary treatment. It was also noticed that the population density of the rotifers community was affected by the river water quality. However, despite the presence of environmental pressures, the rotifers continued to reproduce and conserve.

Describing the photo-isomerization of a retinal chromophore model with coupled and quantum trajectories
Authors: Talotta Francesco , Lauvergnat David , Agostini Federica
Published: March 2022

The exact factorization of the electron-nuclear wavefunction is applied to the study of the photo- isomerization of a retinal chromophore model. We describe such an ultrafast nonadiabatic process by analyzing the time-dependent potentials of the theory and by mimicking nuclear dynamics with quantum and coupled trajectories. The time-dependent vector and scalar potentials are the signature of the exact factorization, as they guide nuclear dynamics by encoding the complete electronic dynamics and including excited-state effects. Analysis of the potentials is, thus, essential – when possible – to predict the time-dependent behavior of the system of interest. In this work, we employ the exact time-dependent potentials, available for the numerically-exactly solvable model used here, to propagate quantum nuclear trajectories representing the isomerization reaction of the retinal chromophore. The quantum trajectories are the best possible trajectory-based description of the reaction when using the exact-factorization formalism, and thus allow us to assess the performance of the coupled-trajectory, fully approximate, schemes derived from the exact-factorization equations.
Improving civil aviation airports infrastructure taking into account the design process of aircraft maintenance organizations
Authors: Samulenkov Yu. I. , Babkov A. B. , Filatova Ya. A.
Published: March 2022

Air transport is of the essence in providing conditions for the effective performance of modern economic paradigm. Operating airlines, the subjects of the Russian Federation and the State as a whole, are equally interested in the development of air transportation system infrastructure. Civil aviation ensures the transport system integrated safety and stability, the relationship of regions and human settlements, especially Siberia, the North and the Far East regions. Over the post-Soviet period in the Russian Federation, the volume of passenger and cargo operations has decreased significantly, air transport linkages between regions have been lost. Such a passenger and cargo operations-related situation has occurred with heavy traffic congestion in the country’s hubs and does not allow the Russian Federation air transportation system to develop comprehensively and harmoniously. A detailed assessment of the country's civil aviation infrastructure will enable experts to put forward proposals for the air transport system modernization and development. Working space of aircraft maintenance organizations is an integral part among air transport infrastructure facilities. In order to conduct aeronautical equipment maintenance, it is necessary to have engineering and manufacturing objects, hangars and areas to accommodate and store maintenance facilities, equipment (general, individual, specialpurpose), consumables, premises for planning and dispatching departments, space to accommodate served aircraft, their components, etc. In addition, depending on the number of served aircraft types, the air transportation volume and regular pattern, the calculation of workforce and means of engineering and aviation support is essential. These issues require in-depth development on the basis of a scientific approach using the simulation modeling methods.
On the subject of the effectiveness of the ATC and pilot joint simulation training (retraining) program
Authors: Stepnova A. I. , Kochergin V. I. , Stepanov S. M. , Borsoev V. A.
Published: March 2022

The purpose of the article is to conduct a statistical data analysis obtained after the experimental study. The experimental research deals with rating the trainees’ level of proficiency before and after the proposed method of the ATC and pilot joint training (retraining). It’s common knowledge that progress in aviation has moved far forward. The fourth, fifth and sixth-generation aircraft have come into existence. Aircraft and automated systems have become digital. In order to develop and implement ATM systems, ICAO has identified three fundamental concepts that will allow us to enhance human reliability in the future. One of the concepts is human-oriented automation. Automation involves the transition from the analog onboard and ground systems to digital ones. As a result, the onboard and ground systems, after modernization, will receive the fifth and sixth-generation abbreviation. Subsequently, a new approach will be required to train (retrain) air traffic controllers and pilots to operate these systems. To solve this problem, it is necessary to change the concept of training flight and traffic control personnel. The article provides an evaluation of the proposed new technique for the joint training (retraining) of ATC and pilots by conducting a statistical analysis of experimental data. The proposed training method will enable us to improve the quality of training, reduce a number of pilot and ATC errors, which are the underlying principles of the ICAO concept. The article presents the statistical analysis of data based on the Student t-criterion and the law of random variables distribution, which will make it possible to draw a conclusion about the effectiveness of the proposed method for training specialists.

Authors: Eshmuradov D. E. , Elmuradov T. D. , Turayeva N. M.
Published: March 2022

Progress in the development of computer engineering provides an opportunity to address a wider variety of challenges using computer software systems. The task of automatic aeronautical navigation information processing is referred to the number of such issues. This stipulates the necessity to adopt new approaches to design and develop similar systems. One of these approaches is based on the application of the collective activity idea of a set of agents – multi-agent technologies. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to consider the features of the automated aeronautical navigation information processing implementation on the basis of multi-agent technologies. To achieve this goal, the problem-structural methodology of hybrid systems synthesis, which allows us to create self-organizing models, was selected. Each element of which develops, obtaining data and knowledge from other elements. In the research process, a formal definition of the multi-agent system of automatic aeronautical information processing is presented, which involves a set of agents, environment of agent functioning, a set of permissible relations between agents, description of rules for forming a network of agents, a set of individual and joint actions, communication interactions, behavior and actions strategies, a possibility of system evolution. Furthermore, an emphasis is placed on the description of each agent. For this purpose, the authors propose to use four elements: a set of variables, inputs and outputs, an autonomous technique that performs appropriate changes over a set of variables. As agents, the paper comes up with the idea to use the following: Pilots Notification Agent, Preflight Information Bulletin Agent, Data Generation Agent, Aviation Processes Agent, Aviation Database Generation Agent, Aeronautical Maps Creation Agent, Aeronautical Data Set Export/Import Agent, Publications and References Agent. In addition, the article presents the multi-agent system diagram of automated aeronautical information processing and describes in detail processing an application in the agent using the mathematical expression. The results, obtained in the course of investigations, can be used to improve the effectiveness of the analytical component in the structure of the system to form the direct and reverse coordination relationship while solving aerial navigation problems.
Angular orientation determination in SINS: traditional algorithms comparison
Authors: Sanko A. A. , Sheinikov A. A.
Published: March 2022

The principle of organization of strap-down inertial navigation systems is based on numerical integration of angular velocities and accelerations. The purpose of numerical integration algorithms is to approximate the behavior of a dynamic system (unmanned aerial vehicle – UAV) with continuous time using a digital computer. The efficiency of numerical integration is determined by the accuracy and stability of the computational process. The integration algorithm may have a small integration error, but at the same time be inefficient due to the instability of the numerical method when the step or conditions of integration change. The standard way to test integration algorithms for stability is to test them under control operating conditions (when performing a typical UAV flight along the route and canonical movement). The article presents the results of simulation modeling of traditional numerical integration algorithms in the conditions of rectilinear and conical UAV motion, when calculating the values of angular velocities by various methods. The analysis of the obtained research results is carried out, which allows us to choose an algorithm that has an advantage with respect to accuracy and computational simplicity, depending on the flight conditions. For a UAV that has no or minimal undampened angular harmonic oscillations of its body, when performing a typical flight along the route, the best, in terms of accuracy and volume of calculations, is a second-order accuracy algorithm implementing the average speed method. Its average error in calculating angles ranges from 3.6 to 43%, which is approximately equal to the errors values when using the considered algorithms (an algorithm implementing a second approximation to the average speed method, a one-step algorithm of the thirdorder of accuracy), with a three-fold smaller amount of mathematical calculations.

Authors: Gabrielyan D. D. , Kostenko P. I. , Safaryаn O. A.
Published: March 2022

The article considers the possibility of developing control systems for the technical condition of radio beacons (RB) transmitting channels generators for the airport navigation and landing complex using artificial intelligence systems (AIS). The feature of using AIS to develop the technical control system is integrating a multidimensional likelihood function into the knowledge base. By means of merely measurements of signal phases generated in RB, the given function makes it possible to evaluate:

– average frequencies of generated signals in RB;

– deviations of average frequencies from the required values throughout the entire observation interval;

– random deviations of the current frequency values from the average ones at each measurement interval;

– relative frequency instabilities of each of generators.

The results obtained and their variation over the time allow us to carry out:

– monitoring the technical condition of RB channels generators;

– diagnostics of the technical condition of RB channels generators;

– forecasting the technical condition of RB channels generators and making a decision concerning the status of the controlled generators according to the CORRECT OPERATION-DETERIORATION-FAILURE criterion.

The self-defense argument maintains that, even if a fetus is a person, (pre-viable) abortion on demand is morally permissible on the grounds that the fetus is using his mother’s body in an intimate way, and, in an unwanted pregnancy, without her ongoing consent.  According to the argument, this sort of use justifies lethal self-defense on the part of the mother against her unwanted fetus.  I produce a counterexample to one of the premises of this argument and show that it cannot be successfully revised.  I further show the underlying commitments of the self-defense argument lead to the absurd conclusion that a woman who has consensual sex that results in pregnancy thereby violates the fetus’ right to bodily autonomy and so such an act would be morally impermissible.  We thereby have good reason to abandon the argument.
An Investigation of the Hazard Associated with the Alluvial Fans on the Kaikoura Coast, South Island, New Zealand
Authors:   , Baylis Erin Julia
Published: March 2022

Three large alluvial fans on the northeast coast of the South Island
between Kekerengu and the Clarence River mouth present a potential
hazard to both State Highway 1 and the South Island Main Trunk Rail Line
between Picton and Christchurch, which pass over top of them, and to
their users. Climate changes are predicted in future for New

Zealand, and may lead to longer warm dry weather periods with heavier
rainfall occurrences for the east coast of the South Island. Locations
of erosion, the streams' ability to transport sediment and the frequency
and magnitude of hazardous fluvial sediment events associated with
these alluvial fans could potentially alter due to these

predicted future climatic changes, altering the potential hazard to the
state highway and the railway line. The underlying purpose of this
thesis is to understand the hazard posed by sediment events onto these
three alluvial fans and how this may alter in relation to climate change.
Architecture as Therapy: Bloodletting: Beauty Spills Forth from the Wound
Authors:   , Liddicoat Stephanie
Published: March 2022

Self harm is a plague, wreaking ugliness across the face of society, a
scar deforming what was pristine, swiftly spreading to become a gaping
open wound. The therapy techniques and facilities aiming to treat such
self harm conditions were discovered to be ineffective; the plague is
gaining momentum. This research proposes an alternative, an architecture
as therapy, as a case study with the programme of a bath house to
explore how architecture might operate therapeutically with respect to
women with self harm conditions. This architecture is not a housing of
therapy but rather a tool of therapy, an architecturalisation of
psychoanalysis and cognitive behavioural therapy. The architecture as
therapy inspires the shifting of paradigms, blurs and shatters
boundaries and preconceived notions to further individual thought,
reconciliation with the post harm body, and the development of new
awareness and identity. Through a process of provocation, engagement and
release the architecture as therapy addresses such notions as the
inability to communicate through conventional means, and ill-developed
identity and sexuality which hinder these individuals. Architecture’s
potential to offer therapy is further cemented through its links with
communication; it possesses a potential to generate new languages of
performativity and of the body through the design of its spaces and
elements. The inhabitant’s journey encompasses manipulations of ugliness
and beauty, the senses and performativity within an architectural
environment to elicit a therapy. Each of these notions is tested across
case studies and within the architecture as therapy itself, elicited in a
manner specific to these particular individuals. The architecture as
therapy can be viewed as a conceptual piece; the purpose of the work is
to challenge, to deconstruct preconceived notions of therapy processes
and healthcare facilities. Aligning with psychoanalysis, the
architecture is a conceptual vehicle with the purpose of pushing
boundaries and eliciting paradigm shifts. The architecture inhabits the
labyrinthine realm of the mind and as such has been represented in a way
where the conceptual ideas and relationships to psychoanalysis are
brought to the fore. Finally the architectural form is rendered
irrelevant; the body becomes the definer of space and of architecture.
The body becomes the beautiful, glorious in her own wounds, her own
ugliness. She may unleash her own plague, her autonomy, her liberation,
her sexuality, and her identity.
Insights into Late Holocene Climate of the Ross Sea Region, Antarctica, from High Resolution Ice Core Chemistry
Authors:   , Rhodes Rachael
Published: March 2022

The Ross Sea is the most biologically productive sector of the Southern
Ocean and a region of substantial bottom water formation. Modulation of
these processes has the potential to influence both regional and global
climate. Analysis of snow pit and ice core samples from Mt Erebus Saddle
(MES) on Ross Island allows reconstruction of Late Holocene climate of
this key region of Antarctica.

The biogenic sulphur species, methylsulphonate (MS-), is shown to be a
quantitative proxy for Ross Sea Polynya conditions. MS- concentrations
of the snow pit, dating from 1999-2005 AD, strongly correlate (R2 >
0.9) with interannual changes in open water area and surface ocean
primary productivity caused by the sea-ice-damming effect of large
icebergs.

Trace element analysis of ice core samples allows delineation between:
1) terrestrial and marine sources, 2) anthropogenic Pb pollution, and 3)
volcanic trace element deposition. To assess the contribution of
mineral dust leaching to trace element concentrations, powdered rock
standards were leached in 1 wt.% HNO3 and periodically sampled for
analysis. Results demonstrate that trace element leaching in acidified
samples is time- and mineral-dependent. Incongruent leaching of trace
elements from dust causes errors in crustal enrichment factors and
produces trace element ratios, which do not reflect dust provenance.
Actions Dictate the Consequences: Workplace Incivility, Knowledge Hiding, and Psychological Entitlement

Published: March 2022

Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to examine the impact of workplace incivility on knowledge hiding behavior. The study also empirically analyzed the moderating effect of psychological entitlement between workplace incivility and knowledge hiding behavior.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The study utilized a cross-sectional survey design to collect the data using a structured questionnaire. The participants were selected using convenience sampling. A total of 465 academicians participated in the study belonging to Pakistan's different higher education institutions.

Findings: The findings revealed that workplace incivility positively impacts knowledge hiding behavior. Moreover, psychological entitlement moderated the relationship between workplace incivility and knowledge hiding behavior.

Implications/Originality/Value: The current study highlighted the examination of the antecedent of knowledge hiding behavior. The personality disposition has been studied as a moderator between incivility and knowledge hiding. This study disclosed how psychological entitlement could change a person's tendency to share knowledge with peers.
Accessibility of registration offices for births and deaths: Red Sea Governorate, Egypt
Authors: Lotfy Nesma
Published: March 2022

Background: Frontier governorates in Egypt have widely dispersed residential areas, which may make birth/death registration difficult for people because of the distance to registration offices. Aims: This study aimed to assess the accessibility of birth/death registration offices in the Red Sea Governorate, one of Egypt’s frontier governorates. Methods: OpenStreetMap was used to locate residential areas and road networks of the Red Sea Governorate. Buffer analysis, with a radius of 20 km around registration offices, was done to assess the coverage. Network analysis was also conducted to calculate the distance between residential areas and registration offices. All spatial analysis work was done using ArcGIS 10.1 software. Results: On delineating the areas of the Red Sea Governorate, 73 residential areas were identified (eight cities, 12 main villages and 53 residential areas outside of the cities and villages). Buffer analysis showed that even a 20 km buffer was not enough to cover all the residential areas. All cities had a good accessibility to registration offices compared with main villages (e.g. 1.5 km compared with 104.5 km), although two main villages had a good accessibility (0.2 km and 0.4 km) as the registration offices were in the villages. For all 73 residential areas, the median distance was 37.6 km with 60.65 km interquartile range. Conclusions: Residential areas in the Red Sea Governorate have varying levels of accessibility to birth/death registration offices. New registration techniques are suggested to improve accessibility to birth/death registration.
