Pengaruh Kepemimpinan Transformasional, Kerjasama Tim dan Integritas Terhadap Penerapan Total Quality Management pada Sekolah Menengah Pertama Katolik di Kabupaten Merauke
Authors: Agustinus Arbol  , Mimi Salmawati
Published: July 2024

This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership style, teamwork, and integrity on the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in Catholic Junior High Schools in Merauke. The motivation for this research stems from two primary factors: first, inconsistencies in previous research findings on the impact of transformational leadership, teamwork, and integrity on TQM; second, observable issues such as a lack of integrity among teachers and Foundation employees, poor teamwork, and weak leadership among principals and Foundation administrators, which have resulted in Catholic schools under the Catholic School Education Foundation (YPPK) in Merauke not meeting accreditation standards. TQM is recognized as a strategic approach to enhancing educational quality, fostering an organizational culture committed to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. his explanatory quantitative research utilized survey methods, gathering data from 100 teachers and educational staff at Catholic Junior High Schools in Merauke. The collected data were tabulated and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that transformational leadership style, teamwork, and integrity each have a significant positive effect on TQM when considered individually. Additionally, there is a significant combined effect of these factors on the implementation of TQM in Catholic Junior High Schools in Merauke.

Temporal Depth & Directionality: Competitive Advantage for Sustainable Family Enterprises
Authors: Sharma Sanjay , Sharma Pramodita
Published: July 2024

Firms seeking to embed sustainability into their core business strategy face inherent tensions of managing conflicting goals of performing on economic, social, and environmental dimensions, in the short- and long-term. Hahn et al., (2014) argue that managers that view these tensions as a paradox may consider radical strategies but end up adopting prudent strategies because they are unable to implement workable solutions due to higher awareness of uncertainty and risks. We argue that subjective interpretation of temporal depth and directionality influences the adoption of sustainable development strategies. Firms with long-term orientation that adopt an overarching vision, structures to incorporate diverse perspectives, and guardrails to prevent tunnel vision, are better positioned to balance financial and non-financial goals. Multi-generational family enterprises with aspirations for transgenerational continuity draw selectively upon their historic past to prepare for success in distant future. When focused on balancing wealth creation for their families and communities, they have the potential to unleash creativity and innovation for a sustainable competitive advantage.

The Linkage Between Government Expenditure and National Income: the Case of Bangladesh
Authors: Khanom Akrama , Uddin Joynal , Uddin Mohammed Jashim , Rashid Mohammad Mamunur
Published: July 2024

Objective: This study examines the applicability of Keynesian and Wagner's law in terms of gross national expenditure (GNE) and gross national income (GNI) in Bangladesh.
 
Theoretical Framework: According to Wagner's Law, a country's government spending rises in tandem with its national income. The opposite is true, according to the Keynesian Law, which claims that government spending increases GDP.
 
Methodology: This study is a quantitative and secondary data based analysis. It makes use of time series data spanning the years 1981 to 2020. All variables' data were gathered from the World Bank's compilation of global development indicators. In order to exclude years with outlier data, the current study did not include variables' data from 1971 to 1980 (The abnormality occurred in 1971 for the war of liberty; in 1974 for the Famine and in 1975 for the political violence). Once the sequence of integration with ADF had been determined; the ARDL bounds testing technique and Granger causality test were used.
 
Results and Discussion: According to the findings of the ARDL bounds test, there is a long-term correlation between government spending and gross domestic product. Government spending likely contributes significantly to the causes of national income, according to the slope coefficients from long-run equations. Granger causality findings show that government spending and national income have a one-way causal link but not the other way around.
 
Research Implications: One possible explanation for this result is that recent government spending on development projects boost up the national income.
 
Originality/Value: We contribute to the literature in two important ways. The first contribution is that we focus on more robust estimation methodologies. Unlike previous studies of Bangladesh context, we apply ARDL bounds test approach to co-integration. In addition to having advantageous small sample characteristics, the ARDL limits testing approach does not necessitate the same order of integration in the variables.  With these considerations, this technique suits better in case of Bangladesh given that data would be of a small span.  And second, we examined both of the Wagner’s Law and Keynesian Law for Bangladesh with two separate equations, unlike the previous studies on Bangladesh who investigated the Wagner’s equation only.
A Precursor to Constitutionalism
Authors: Crameri Fabrizio E.
Published: July 2024

In light of an increase in the number of conflicts in recent decades, the (re)framing of post-conflict states has simultaneously seen a rise in the need for constitutionalism. The purpose of this book is to investigate and define the role of the judiciary during a normative transition. Drawing on constitution-making literature, case studies of specifically chosen countries (e.g. South Africa, Turkey and Egypt) and direct data from research on the field (i.e. descriptive statistical analysis), the study examines the effect of the judiciary on the entire transition. The project seeks to introduce legal scholars to new methodological approaches and to open up legal research to other disciplines and thus combines research methods and disciplines that are located in both law and social sciences. A normative analysis (i.e. from a legal perspective) of this topic is not only handy for future policy makers and law scholars but also contributes to create a basis of research for other disciplinesThe author of this book, Fabrizio E. Crameri is working as a public prosecutor of the Canton of Grisons (Switzerland). After studying law at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland), he worked as a research assistant at the Institute of Federalism (Switzerland), where he wrote his doctoral thesis.

The importance of anthropometry and cranial semiology for the early diagnosis of Trigonocephaly: Case report
Authors: Leite Carolina , Rainer Júlia , Silva Cecília , Laviola Camilla
Published: July 2024

Trigonocephaly is a type of craniosynostosis in which there is premature closure of the metopic suture, in order to determine an abnormal growth of the skull. In a minority of cases, trigonocephaly can cause increased intracranial pressure and the onset of neurological disorders. When present, these complications can be prevented or mitigated if the diagnosis and treatment occur between 6 and 12 months of life. The objective of the study is to report a case of craniosynostosis in an infant and reaffirm the importance of anthropometry and cranial semiology. On physical examination, a 4-month-old infant had a head circumference: 41 cm, metopic suture mounted, biparietal diameter: 23 cm, fronto-occipital diameter: 28 cm. Cranial computed tomography with 3D reconstruction confirmed the diagnosis of trigonocephaly, and he was referred to pediatric surgery. The study was submitted to the Human Research Ethics Committee approved under CAAE number 53607821.7.0000.5237. The diagnosis of trigonocephaly is made through the analysis of anthropometric measurements of the skull, represented by the head circumference, anteroposterior distance and binaural distance, and confirmed through computed tomography with 3D reconstruction. In pediatric practice, it is common to only measure the head circumference, which is often normal, with changes only in the anteroposterior and binaural distances. Consequently, there is a delay in the diagnosis of craniosynostosis. Thus, the importance of routinely measuring the three anthropometric measurements of the skull is emphasized for the early diagnosis of craniosynostosis and for the prevention and reduction of its complications, even though they are rare.
Libre albedrío versus determinismo: ¿nuevos planteamientos sobre la culpabilidad o revisión de viejos postulados?
Authors: Pérez Arias Jacinto
Published: July 2024

La esencia del derecho penal quizás se encuentre ubicada en el concepto e institución de la culpabilidad. En realidad, es el elemento diferenciador nato entre el derecho penal y cualquier otra rama del ordenamiento jurídico. Sin embargo, a día de hoy, siguen estando enfrentadas las diversas posiciones doctrinales en torno a ella. El tiempo transcurrido, lejos de pacificar el debate, solo ha propiciado nuevas variantes o modelos que ahondan más en la diversidad de tratamiento y entendimiento de la culpabilidad. Uno de los factores que más discusión ha producido es el del libre albedrío, entendido éste como eje central o clave de bóveda que dota de fundamento a la culpabilidad. Tampoco esto ha sido objeto de pocas críticas. Se podría decir que la historia del pensamiento penal es la historia de las diferencias dogmáticas sobre el concepto de culpabilidad. Debido a los avances de las neurociencias, se han vuelto a retomar en la dogmática los viejos postulados sobre el libre albedrío y el determinismo como fundamento culpabilístico. Sobre estos pormenores tratará el presente trabajo.

High-Order Wall-Modeled Large-Eddy Simulation of High-Lift Configuration
Authors: Wang Z. J.
Published: July 2024

This paper presents the assessment of several recent enhancements for a high-order wall-modeled large-eddy simulation (WMLES) approach and demonstrates order independence with a fixed data exchange location in the wall model. The two enhancements include the use of isotropic tetrahedral elements to improve accuracy and an explicit subgrid-scale model, the Vreman model, to improve accuracy and robustness. The [Formula: see text] study focused on the high-lift Common Research Model (HL-CRM) at the angle of attack of 19.57 deg, a benchmark problem from the 4th AIAA High-Lift Prediction Workshop. Solution polynomial orders of [Formula: see text], and 5 were used in the study. The study demonstrated [Formula: see text] independence in integrated forces, pitch moment, velocity profile in the wall-normal direction, and surface flow topology. It also showed that a [Formula: see text] order of at least 3 ([Formula: see text]) was needed to correctly predict the external inviscid flow and the surface flow topology. Thereafter, [Formula: see text] simulations over several other angles of attack demonstrated that the high-order WMLES approach can correctly predict the maximum lift and flow separation regions for HL-CRM with about 40 million degrees of freedom (DOF) compared to at least 250 million DOF required by second-order methods.
Diagnosing Incipient Faults for a Faster Adoption of Sustainable Aerospace Technologies
Authors: Di Fiore F. , Berri P. C. , Mainini L.
Published: July 2024

Next-generation aircraft require the development and integration of a deal of innovative green technologies to meet the ambitious sustainability goals set for aviation. Those transformational efforts are associated with a tremendous increase in the complexity of the onboard systems and their multiphysics-coupled behaviors and dynamics. A critical aspect relates to the identification of the coupled faults resulting from the integration of those green technologies, which introduce damage identifiability issues and demand new approaches for the efficient and accurate identification of non-nominal fault conditions. Model-based fault detection and identification (FDI) methodologies have been proven essential to identify onboard the damages affecting the systems from physical signal acquisitions, but existing methods are typically computationally expensive and fail to capture incipient coupled faults, which prevents their adoption and scaling with the increasing complexity of novel multiphysics systems. This work introduces a multifidelity framework to accelerate the identification of fault modes affecting complex systems. An original two-stage compression computes an optimally informative and highly reduced representation of the monitoring signals for the minimum demand of onboard resources. A multifidelity scheme for Bayesian inversion is developed to infer multidomain fault parameters from the compressed signals: variable cost and fidelity models are optimally queried for a major reduction of the overall computational expense. The framework is demonstrated and validated for aerospace electromechanical actuators affected by incipient multimodal faults. Remarkable accelerations of the FDI procedure are observed, and the exact identification of the incipient fault condition was achieved one order of magnitude faster than with standard algorithms.
Neural Network with Local Converging Input for Unstructured-Grid Computational Fluid Dynamics
Authors: Ding Weiming , Huang Haoxiang , Lee Tzu-Jung , Liu Yingjie , Yang Vigor
Published: July 2024

In recent years, surrogate models based on deep neural networks have been widely used to solve partial differential equations for fluid flow physics. This kind of model focuses on global interpolation of the training data and thus requires a large network structure. The process is both time consuming and computationally costly. In the present study, we develop a neural network with local converging input (NNLCI) for high-fidelity prediction using unstructured data. The framework uses the local domain of dependence with converging coarse solutions as input, thereby greatly reducing computational resource and training time. As a validation case, the NNLCI method is applied to study two-dimensional inviscid supersonic flows in channels with bumps. Different bump geometries and locations are examined to benchmark the effectiveness and versatility of this new approach. The NNLCI method can accurately and efficiently capture the structure and dynamics of the entire flowfield, including regions with shock discontinuities. For a new bump configuration, the method can perform prediction with only one neural network, eliminating the need for repeated training of multiple networks for different geometries. A saving of computing wall time is achieved by several orders of magnitude against the high-fidelity simulation with the same level of accuracy. The demand on training data is modest, and the training data can be allocated sparsely. These features are especially advantageous compared with conventional global-to-global deep learning methods and physics-informed methods.

Unveiling the Türkiye-GCC Economic Partnership: ARDL Cointegration Approach
Authors: AKKAŞ ERHAN
Published: July 2024

This analysis examines the economic relationship between Türkiye and the GCC countries, focusing notably on the economic and trade ties. It argues that while mutual relations have increased during the AK Party era, historical commercial relations have been subject to fluctuations due to regional and foreign policy preferences. Descriptive analysis using secondary data supports this claim. Cointegration techniques are also employed to empirically analyze the trade relationship between the two sides from 1994 to 2020. The results indicate long-term cointegration in Türkiye-GCC economic relations, with bilateral trade positively affected in the long-term. However, the findings also suggest that as GCC countries’ exports to Türkiye increase, Türkiye’s exports to the GCC increase even more over the long-term.
Bahraini-Turkish Relations: A Strategic Role Adaptation of Manama
Authors: DOGAN-AKKAS BETUL
Published: July 2024

Turkish-Bahraini bilateral ties provide a fertile ground for a comprehensive set of discussions on regional affairs, yet it is an understudied topic with little work done on these bilateral ties. This research aims to fulfill a valid gap in the Gulf studies literature by describing the Bahraini foreign policy dynamics in its relations with Türkiye. In this respect, the purpose is to answer two questions: What are the major national role types that Bahrain accommodates in the contemporary Middle East system in conducting foreign policymaking towards Türkiye? How does Bahrain’s role conceptions towards Türkiye work under a sub-regional Saudi hegemony? There has been continuous, solid, yet limited diplomatic communication between Bahrain and Türkiye. With a hybrid use of post-structural discourse theory and role theory the nature of the emerging ties is elaborated, focusing on the Bahraini foreign affairs. This research proposes that there are two dynamics in the Bahraini foreign policymaking towards Türkiye: a faithful ally of Saudi Arabia and strategic role adaptation. These roles are either played simultaneously, as is the case in the peak years of cooperation with Türkiye, or being a faithful ally of Saudi Arabia dominates Bahrain’s strategic role adaptations, notably in the times of crises.
Mapping the Potential of the Strategic Partnerships Between Indonesia and Türkiye: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Robby Hadza Min Fadhli , Boran Tufan Kutay
Published: July 2024

Using Nadkarni’s theoretical framework, this study argues that Türkiye has been unable to raise its relations with Indonesia to the level of strategic partnership. This study examines the reasons for this in two separate layers: First, as a rising middle power, Indonesia is a country where the role of the leader in the foreign policymaking process is relatively influential. This situation shows that Turkish policymakers should take into consideration the leaders’ foreign policy orientations in their relations with Indonesia. Secondly, Turkish decision-makers need to carefully analyze internal factors such as culture and domestic politics when developing relations with middle-power countries. In this context, although this study finds that military and commercial relations between Türkiye and Indonesia have reached a significant level, it argues that this is still not sufficient for a strategic partnership. Finally, this study suggests that Indonesia and Türkiye should build their relations by thoroughly considering the internal dynamics in each country.
Contemporary Islamic Thought in Indonesia 2010-2023: Contested Public Sphere
Authors: QODIR ZULY
Published: July 2024

Indonesian Islamic thought is important in the context of contemporary Indonesian politics. Contemporary politics has seen a shift from sectarian and ideological toward more inclusive and dynamic dialogues. In Indonesian Islamic thought, there is a contestation in the public sphere between conservative and progressive currents. The conservative trends are usually rather closed to new interpretations, while the progressive tend to be open to new trends based on social realities. The future of open Islamic thought in Indonesia as a characteristic of wasatiyah Islam will be maintained as its two largest Islamic organizations, Muhammadiyah and the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), continue to fight for the ideals of Islam. In addition, inclusive Islam will gain strength if political parties are no longer sectarian but extend the post-Islamism movement.
Hezbollah’s Shortsighted Strategy for the War in Gaza
Authors: Khashan Hilal
Published: July 2024

This commentary argues that Hezbollah felt duty-bound to open a front in Southern Lebanon to ease Israel’s military pressure on Hamas. Hezbollah indicated that its participation in the war will continue until reaching a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, apparently expecting the hostilities to last only for a few weeks. However, the war dragged on for months as Israel pledged to keep it going until destroying Hamas and, contrary to what Hezbollah expected, pushing it away from the border area to ensure the safety of its residents in the upper Galilee settlements. The fighting in Southern Lebanon turned into a war of attrition against Hezbollah as Israel eliminated most of its field commanders by drone attacks. Should Israel succeed in evicting Hezbollah from the border area, it would lose its claim to resistance to liberate Lebanese territory still occupied by Israel, increasing the pressure on it to disarm like all other Lebanese factions when the civil war ended in 1989.
Syria’s Political Stalemate: International Efforts and Regional Dynamics
Authors: Sarmini Mohammed
Published: July 2024

International efforts to find a political solution to the conflict in Syria began early on in the war. The Arab League was the first body to attempt to mediate, starting in late 2012, but these efforts faltered due to the refusal of the regime –emboldened by the political support of Russia and China– to make a single concession, despite being on the back foot militarily. In 2015, new international efforts were launched to resolve the crisis. The U.S. and Russia reached an agreement over the formulation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2254, which became the basis of UN-led negotiations between the opposition and the regime, including discussions on constitutional reform that began in 2019. However, more than a decade into the conflict, a political solution still appears distant, and is now closely linked to the fate of the foreign forces present in the country. The regime is no longer solely responsible for obstructing a solution. The presence on the ground of its allies, Russia and Iran, adds additional obstacles. It is no longer possible to formulate a peace deal without addressing the security concerns and various interests of foreign forces in Syria.

A simple CT-scan-assisted craniotomy for small superficial cortical lesions in rural conditions
Authors: Nikova Alexandrina , Theodoropoulou Efthymia , Birbilis Theodossios
Published: July 2024

Objective: Despite the excellence and modernization in medicine and neurosurgery, many countries, including Greece, still lack neuronavigational techniques, or hospital budget to cover the neuronavigation expenses. Therefore, help in the craniotomy design is needed, not only to safely remove a superficial lesion but also to help cut the expenses of neuronavigation in cases of economic challenges. The current study aims to present a new simple technique for craniotomy design for superficial cortical lesions.
Materials and methods: The technique was applied as an urgent lifesaving method because of lacking frameless neuronavigation to 35 patients (19 males and 16 females) with superficial cortical lesions during a five-year period. This technique requires computer tomography (CT) scan, needle, and methylene blue dye. The patients were operated on at the neurosurgical department of Democritus University Hospital in Alexandroupolis, Greece.
Results: From those 35 individuals, 16 had brain metastases, six patients had meningioma, six patients had glioma tumor, two had an abscess, two patients had arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and three patients had brain hematoma. The lesion was completely resected in all the 35 patients without any complications from the craniotomy or the colorant dye infusion. The accuracy of the technique compared with the frameless neuronavigation of the literature was extremely high.
Conclusion: This is a simple and cheap technique for craniotomy design in case of superficial cortical lesions. It could be used in rural conditions or in hospitals with limited resources, as long as there is a computed tomography scan, craniotomy device and a dye stain.
Peculiarities of angiospasm and ischemic complications in ruptures of cerebral arterial aneurysms against the background of occlusive-stenotic lesions of cerebral arteries
Authors: Komarnytskyi Volodymyr P. , Orlov Mikhaylo Y.
Published: July 2024

Objective – to determine the effect of occlusive-stenotic lesions of cerebral arteries on angiospasm and ischemic complications in patients with ruptured arterial aneurysms against the background of occlusive-stenotic lesions of cerebral arteries.
Materials and methods. A retrospective study of the medical histories of 1,147 patients with cerebral artery aneurysms from 2006 to 2022 was conducted. 63 patients were included in the study group because they met the following criteria: surgical treatment; rupture of saccular aneurysms (SAs); the presence of occlusive-stenotic lesions was proven using instrumental examination methods. Patients of the control group had to meet the following criteria: surgical treatment; rupture of SAs; the absence of occlusive-stenotic lesions was proven by means of instrumental examination methods; the gender and age distribution had to match the study group. Of the 126 patients included in this study, there were 76 men (60.32%) and 50 women (39.68%). The age of the patients varied from 31 to 77 years. The average age of patients- 55.9±0.76 years; men – 54.3±0.94 years, women – 58.3±1.19 years.
Results. A percentage predominance of patients with high cerebral blood flow velocity (>200 cm/s, which is equal to the velocity with severe grade III vasospasm of the cerebral arteries) in the study group (32.56%) compared with the control group (24.24%) was revealed.
Conclusions. The predominance of men among patients of the study group (60.32%) was established. The average age of men with occlusive-stenotic lesions was younger than that of women (men – 54.3±0.94 years, women – 58.3±1.19 years). The difference in age is the largest in the 2nd subgroup of the study group where the severity of stenosis is 50-75% (men - 48.3 years; women - 62 years). Ruptures of arterial aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery occur more often in the presence of stenoses (study group - 25.4%, control group - 12.7%). The neurological status of patients with a hemorrhagic stroke, as a result of the rupture of an arterial aneurysm, is significantly aggravated by occlusive-stenotic lesions due to the occurrence of chronic brain ischemia. The worst prognosis for life and health was in men with a ruptured arterial aneurysm against the background of a 50-75% stenotic lesion and severe vasospasm of the cerebral arteries.
The place of discourse analysis as an analytical method of text and speech interpretation in modern linguistics (on the example of sports communication research)
Authors: Stefanouskaya K. I.
Published: July 2024

This article is devoted to the consideration of discourse studies development as well as that of discourse analysis. This method makes it possible to take into account not only the linguistic (verbal)  aspect, but also the supra-linguistic (extra-verbal) one, as it also focuses on the situational peculiarities  of the text or statements, their pragmatic and functional features, the cultural and historical context, and  many  other  factors.  Nowadays  discourse  analysis  is  widely  used  for  interdisciplinary  research,  which determines  the  relevance  of  studying  the  prospects  for  its  further  use.  This  work  provides  a  historical  overview  of  discourse  studies  formation  and  development.  Various  approaches  to  the  key  concept interpretation from this area, which is discourse, are analysed. The process of discourse analysis formation as one of the most important parts of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of discourse studies as well as various approaches to its implementation are considered. Some new ways of using discourse analysis to conduct research on various institutional types of communication are proposed, which is demonstrated  by the example of implementing this method in the study of sports rhetoric.
Author's position in the folk dramas of L.N. Tolstoy
Authors: Tolstolutskaya T. G.
Published: July 2024

The  subject  of  the  study  is  the  author's  position  in  the  folk  plays  of  L.N.  Tolstoy  “The  First  Distiller,  or  How  the  Little  Devil  Earned  a  Crumb”,  “From  Her  All  the  Qualities”,  “Peter Khlebnik”, “Dramatic Arrangement of the Legend of Haggai”. The objectives of the study include identifying  ways  of  expressing  the  author’s  position  in  the  writer’s  dramatic  texts,  which  is  possible  through  the use of structural, mythopoetic methods, as well as the use of motive analysis techniques. The purpose  of  this  article  is  to  explore  the  features  of  expressing  the  author’s  position  in  the  “folk”  dramas  of  L.N.  Tolstoy.  The  relevance  of  the  study  is  determined  by  the  insufficient  knowledge  of  the  methods  of  updating  the  author's  position  in  the  writer's  dramatic  texts  and  the  need  to  understand the  originality  of  Tolstoy's  dramaturgy  in  the  holistic  artistic  and  philosophical  context  of  his  work. In  the  comedy  “The  First  Distiller,  or  How  the  Little  Devil  Earned  the  Edge,”  the  author  directs  the  reader’s perception of events through stage directions and through the image of the hero participating in the event and observing it. In the play “From Her All the Qualities”, the author’s intention is expressed in the subjective description of the characters in the poster. In the “Dramatic Treatment of the Legend of  Haggai”  and  “Peter  the  Bread  Man”,  Tolstoy’s  appeal  to  the  plot  of  a  sinner  who  repented  of  his  atrocities is revealed, which is in tune with the writer’s ideological search. The incompleteness of these  plays is due to the unclear prospects for leaving for the author himself. It seems relevant and promising to further study Tolstoy’s dramatic heritage in the aspect of studying the methods used to express the author’s position, helping to correct the already established ideas about the literary anthropology of the writer.
Species of the genus Fuscopannaria P.M. Jørg. (Lichens) in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
Authors: Poryadina L. N.
Published: July 2024

The  Republic  of  Sakha  (Yakutia)  is  the  largest  constituent  entity  of  the  Russian  Federation, located  in  the  north-east  of  Russia  and  characterised  by  a  harsh  sharply  continental  climate  with  very low air temperatures in winter and high in summer, insignificant average annual precipitation, and the spread of permafrost. The genus of ascomycetes lichens  Fuscopannaria P. M. Jørg. includes small species found in areas with a cool temperate climate in the northern hemisphere. According to the literature data, 3 species of the genus  Fuscopannaria were previously known in Yakutia. The species  F. viridescens  was discovered in the Lena River delta. The location of the species F. praetermissa is indicated for the Arctic zone and for the State Nature Reserve "Olekminsky". The species F. leucosticta  (=  Panaria leucosticta) is  given  for  the  Tokinsky  Stanovik.  The  purpose  of  this  work  is  to  generalise  the  data  on  the  lichens  of  the  genus  Fuscopannaria,  which  are  common  in  Yakutia;  revision  of  the  genus  in  the  lichen   collections of the IBPC SB RAS Herbarium (SASY). As a result of the conducted research, the author  identified the species F. ahlneri; the species  F. leucosticta  has been redefined as  F. praetermissa. For a new species in Yakutia, F. ahlneri is given a comparative description, distinctive features, information on location, ecology. Criteria for the identification of a group of cyanobiont lichen species native to Siberia  and the Far East, having similar morphological features with the presence of photobiont Nostoc  in the thallus, rarely forming apothecia, are discussed. A key has been compiled to identify the species of the  genus  Fuscopannaria  in  Yakutia:  F. ahlneri ,  F.  praetermissa ,  F.  viridescens.  Updated  data  on  the  specimens of the genus  Fuscopannaria in the SASY herbarium.
Study of computational stability of the high-latitude ionosphere model
Authors: Gololobov A. Yu. , Golikov I. A.
Published: July 2024

The high latitude ionospheric plasma is a difficult medium to describe due to the dependence of  its  parameters  on  heliogeophysical  conditions.  Its  large-scale  structure  is  influenced  by  processes  such  as  magnetospheric  convection,  plasmaspheric  flows  of  particles  and  heat,  as  well  as  the  precipitation of energetic particles in the region of the auroral oval. These processes are non-stationary and  their  characteristics  change  significantly  during  periods  of  enhanced  geomagnetic  activity.  Therefore, the modelling of the high-latitude ionosphere is associated with the development of a model that has a computationally stable numerical solution at a sufficiently high spatio-temporal resolution. For this purpose, in this work, we have carried out a study of the computational stability of the mathematical  model of the high-latitude ionosphere (Eulerian approach) when different integration steps in time and  space are specified. It is shown that the ionospheric model retains computational stability at all selected steps,  and  the  results  of  numerical  calculations  are  qualitatively  consistence  and  describe  the  main  large-scale  structural  formations  of  the  high-latitude  ionosphere.  The  results  show  that  the  developed  model  can  be  used  in  the  study  of  non-stationary  processes  occurring  in  the  ionospheric  plasma,  as well as in the study of the ionosphere during magnetic storms and substorms.
Technologies of modern radiotherapy and development prospects. Quality assurance concept
Authors: Lebedenko I. M.
Published: July 2024

At the clinic of the N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology has been using the following conformal irradiation technologies for cancer patients that meet international standards for more  than  13  years:  3D  conformal  radio  therapy  (3DCRT);  intensity  modulated  radiotherapy  (IMRT); volume modulated arc therapy (VMAT); stereotactic radiation technique (SRT); radiotherapy technique  with  breathing  control,  total  therapeutic  irradiation  (TRT)  technique  followed  by  bone  marrow  transplantation.  The  technological  complex  with  which  these  technologies  are  implemented  has  demonstrated an increase in the quality of radiation treatment for cancer patients. However, despite the “advancement” of technology, there are limitations in the ability to reduce dose loads on critical organs for a number of nosologies. Therefore, the prospects for the development of radiotherapy in Russia lie in the creation of several clinical centers for the use of heavy charged particles that have different physical and dosimetric characteristics and, from this point of view, carry other opportunities and prospects. There is  great interest in flash therapy.
Experimental Research on the Study of Мéntha Piperíta Makro- and Microelement Composition Growing in Goris, Syunik Region
Authors: Vardanyan L. R. , Hayrapetyan S. A.
Published: July 2024

The purpose of our work was to study the qualitative and quantitative composition of the mineral elements of peppermint (Méntha piperíta) leaves. The relevance of the study is revealed by the fact that, though some trace elements in low concentrations are necessary for plant growth, their excess can lead to plant death. This effect depends both on the nature of the element and on the type of plant. To achieve this goal, we used the method of optical emission spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma on an Agilent 5110 ICP-OEC equipment. The object of research was the dried aerial part of peppermint (Méntha piperíta) growing in Goris region of Armenia. The content of 30 elements was determined, for five of which the biological absorption coefficient is greater than unity. This means that these elements accumulate in plants. These include strontium and molybdenum, which are toxic elements. Based on the data presented, it is certainly necessary to control the maximum permissible concentrations of molybdenum and strontium in peppermint (Méntha piperita) collections before using it in cooking and for the creation of medicinal products.
