With no clear evidence of its origin, hybrid warfare is a worldwide phenomenon, its effects having worldwide reverberations. Characterised by a very high adaptability and flexibility of the methods and procedures used, as well as the continuous expansion of the target audience or the area of coverage, hybrid warfare is not a new concept in human history. Overshadowed
by the much higher degree of destruction and the very large number of human victims – specific to conventional war – unconventional actions – an integral part of hybrid war – often go unnoticed, but their effects are felt in all areas of human society existence. Today, the annexation of Crimea and the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation are classic examples of hybrid warfare, characterised by true intentions concealment along with the fact that special operations forces experience and support allowed ethnic Russian communities to organise paramilitary groups with the aim of creating an ambiguous and
insecure environment on Ukraine’s territory. Furthermore, these events forced NATO leaders to identify and implement measures to limit and reduce Russian Federation possibilities to apply a similar strategy against the Black Sea or Baltic Sea member states. Analysing in detail the Russian hybrid actions major impact in the maritime environment, materialised both by the two parties’ state borders modification and the Russian Federation Exclusive Economic Zone expansion to the detriment of Ukraine, this paper aims to identify geographical and economic vulnerabilities in the Black Sea, the exploitation of which can result in the weakening of the south-eastern flank of the North Atlantic Alliance. Moreover, the present study’s results will represent the basis of a further analysis that will highlight the optimal measures for their reduction.
Gheorghe I. Brătianu and the Black Sea Straits Question (1933-1944) – “Straits Fatalism”
Authors: Otu Petre ,   Președintele Comisiei Române de Istorie Militară
Published: July 2024

The study analyses the position expressed between 1933 and 1944 by Gheorghe I. Brătianu regarding the Black Sea Straits Question. Through the works published during those years, he established himself as one of the greatest Romanian historians, his scientific interests focusing on the evolution of Romanians in the Middle Ages as well as on the role of the Black Sea in all
international relations. In this context, as a Professor at the University of Bucharest, between 1941-1943, he taught a course at the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy on The Black Sea Question, in which he extensively developed his concepts. They can be summarized in the phrase according to which Romania has faced the Pontus Euxinus “Straits fatalism” throughout its existence. At the same time, as a politician and party leader, Gheorghe I. Brătianu opposed Nicolae Titulescu’s policy of envisaging a mutual assistance treaty with the Soviet Union, a country that had not recognised the unification of Bessarabia with Romania. As such, he criticized the position adopted by Romania at the Montreux Conference (22 June-21 July 1936), which modified the status of the Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits, according to Moscow’s interests. By the Convention signed on 20 July 1936, the access of non-littoral military ships was severely restricted.
The Russian Empire’s Intelligence and Counterintelligence Services – General Considerations
Authors: Leșcu Artur ,   Universitatea de Stat de Educație Fizică și Sport
Published: July 2024

The Russian Empire was based, since the early years of the nineteenth century, mainly on military force, in the composition of which an important role was played by the accumulation of information on opponents and the fight against foreign espionage inside the country. Despite the central role attributed to these secret services, the Russian Empire did not have a specialized body in the field of military espionage. In this context, based on a vast and new Russian historiographical material, accumulated as a result of research by the National Archives of the Republic of Moldova, the author presents, by the method of analysis of historical documents, a perspective of the genesis, activity and results obtained by the Russian intelligence and counter-espionage services of the tsarist period.
Romanians and Bulgarians – Incidents at the Danube River Border (1890-1901)
Authors: Nicolae Daniel Silviu ,   Asociaţia Istorică „Dimitrie Cantemir”
Published: July 2024

On 2/14 September 1829, the Peace Treaty of Adrianople between the Tsarist Empire and the Ottoman Empire was concluded with important effects for the two Romanian countries, Moldavia and Wallachia. Their political development was regulated by a separate document, an integral part of the text of the Treaty. The separate Act confirmed the agreements made by the Tsarist Empire and the Ottoman Empire in the text of the Akkerman (White Citadel) Convention on 25 September/7 October 1826, on the election of the Romanian ruler, following the wish and consent expressed by the Sublime Porte. In addition to these political issues, important for the topic covered in this article were the provisions related to the protection of the borders, especially the right bank of the Danube and the islands close to the left bank of the great river that were in proximity to the Ottoman Empire. According to the Adrianople Treaty of 1829, the thalweg along the Danube was considered the border between Moldova and Wallachia on the entire common sector up to the confluence with the Prut River, agreement protected by the Sublime Porte. In 1830, after the Treaty of Adrianople, a commission composed of the delegates of Wallachia, Moldavia, the Tsarist Empire and the Ottoman Empire proceeded to delimiting the river border between the Ottoman Empire and
the Romanian Countries by fixing the existing thalweg at that time. Obviously, natural phenomena contributed over time to its modification, so that, after the Congress of Berlin in 1878, when it was decided to trace the land border between the countries bordering the Danube, a series of incidents at the Romanian-Bulgarian river border occurred. In this context, it is highlighted the strategic and economic importance of the Danube.

“Jogando meu corpo no mundo, andando por todos os cantos”: provocações culturais da passagem de uma hippie por Teresina (anos 1970)
Authors: Mota Carlos Alberto de Melo Silva , Fontineles Cláudia Cristina da Silva
Published: July 2024

No ano de 1972 a cidade de Teresina foi um local de passagem para a hippie Theresa que, juntamente com suas amigas “Baiana” e “Baby”, transitava pelo Brasil numa viagem experimental. A presença das jovens na capital do Piauí provocou uma contradição na ordem local, marcada por discursos conservadores e controle aos corpos juvenis. Não tardou para que estas jovens fossem apontadas como ameaças ao regime moral que se impunha na cidade. Nesse sentido, nos debruçamos a analisar os contrapontos da passagem de Theresa por Teresina, adotando como suporte principal a fonte hemerográfica, através do jornal O Estado, que noticiou detalhadamente versões do governo e das hippies em suas páginas. Situamos que o período em análise é marcado por um regime discricionário, conduzido por militares no poder, onde veículos de informação eram compreendidos como recursos estratégicos para a estabilidade do governo. Dessa maneira, analisamos as narrativas acerca das jovens hippies destacadas na imprensa teresinense em consonância com o contexto onde são produzidas, ponderamos sobre as interjeições e investimentos recebidos pelos periódicos nesse contexto. As proposições de Theresa e suas amigas suscitam inquietações sobre corpos “transbunde-libertários” como práxis de resistência ao autoritarismo institucional, onde suas vivências conseguiriam incomodar ao fugir do padrão cotidiano. É possível vislumbrar os anos 1960 e 1970 como um momento de irrupção, isto é, começa a se delinear um circuito antidisciplinar contra as convenções, que viria a explodir através de gestos, atitudes, consumo do espaço e rompimento de valores. Nesse sentido, desenvolveremos um estudo de caráter empírico, com dimensões metodológicas balizadas pelas discussões de História e Imprensa, a partir de documentos oficiais e de matérias jornalísticas do período, que são analisados a partir da interlocução com os estudos de Edwar Castelo Branco (2005), Francisco Alcides Nascimento (2007), Enzo Traverso (2008), Carlos Fico (2008) e Cláudia Fontineles (2015).

This study examined the economic feasibility of crop rotation as a farming technique for small-scale farmers in Punjab, Pakistan, in 2022. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrated qualitative and quantitative data to comprehensively assess the financial impact of crop rotation. The research focused on two key regions in Punjab renowned for small-scale farming: Sargodha and Chakwal. These areas were selected due to their prevalent small-scale farming practices and diverse agricultural methods. The study included a control group of farms that did not practice crop rotation, alongside farms actively implementing this technique. Through surveys of farm owners, input costs (such as seeds, fertilizers, and labor), market prices, crop yields, and total farm revenues were quantified over a three-year period. Soil health indicators were evaluated through soil sample analyses. Qualitative insights into farmers' perspectives on the benefits, challenges, and financial decision-making processes related to crop-rotation were gathered via in-depth interviews and regional focus groups. The findings from 2022 demonstrated advantages for farms practicing crop-rotation, evidenced by consistently higher yields and reduced seed costs. These farms also reported significantly greater profitability. The qualitative analysis highlighted local dynamics influencing the adoption of crop rotation. The study underscored the need to address challenges such as weather fluctuations and market conditions. The insights from this 2022 research can greatly benefit policymakers and agricultural practitioners in promoting sustainable farming practices among small-scale farmers in Punjab, Pakistan. Crop rotation emerges as a strategy capable of enhancing agricultural productivity and bolstering the financial resilience of small-scale farming communities.
Credit loss modelling using beta distribution in a Bayesian approach
Authors: Ptak-Chmielewska Aneta , Kopciuszewski Paweł
Published: July 2024

The Advanced Internal Rating Based (AIRB) approach is more and more frequently applied by banks. Bank analysts decide to use their own approach to calculate basic risk parameters such as Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD), and Loss Given Default (LGD). The problem of small samples in LGD estimation is always a challenge for researchers and analytics. The paper proposes the basic LGD model based on splitting recoveries into two classes of recoveries: close to 0 or close to 1, and based on that split the construction of the LGD model with the combination of two binary models. The main advantage of the paper is, however, addressing the unresolved cases incorporated in the LGD estimation process by using a Bayesian approach which assumes a beta distribution of further recoveries for unresolved cases. An additional advantage of the paper is that the proposed modelling approach for LGD is illustrated on real data for mortgage loans for one of the European banks.
The relationship between isokinetic knee flexion andsquat jump performance
Authors: Harčarik Gabriel , Falat Leütterová Daniela
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Explosive power of the lower limbs is considered a powerful diagnostic method of the performance level of athletes. In the past, this issue has not yet been sufficiently explored. In the theoretical part, we tried using the available literature to approach the solved problem from the point of view of other authors. PURPOSE: The work aimed to verify and determine the existence of relationships between the isokinetic strength of the extensor joint and during the entire period in adolescent athletes of the Presov club. MATERIALS and METHODS: This study was carried out on adolescent athletes (n=21) who compete at the national level in the category of junior age. Average age 15.3 years, height 173 cm, weight 56 kg. Individual jumps SJ, CMJ, and CMJ FA were measured on Optojump. Isokinetic measurement of peak force and average force was performed in a bilateral version using a special adapter and IsoForce2 device at angular speeds of 50.s-1, 70.s-1, 90.s-1, 125.s-1, 155. s-1. We determined the relationships between individual variables using the Pearson correlation coefficient (r). RESULTS: Peak force values measured at an angular velocity of 155.s-1 on Izoforce2 correlated with SJ and CMJ jumps at the p < .05000 significance level. With average force values measured on isokinetic equipment, a significant relationship was demonstrated at an angular velocity of 155.s-1 in SJ, CMJ, and CMJ FA jumps at the level of significance p < .05000. The measured average values at an angular velocity of 125.s-1 were correlated at the level of significance p < .05000 only in SJ and CMJ FA jumps. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the work indicate that there is a relationship between vertical jumps and the values measured on isokinetic devices, which strengthens the claim about the importance of these muscle parts during the vertical jump as one of the limiting factors of performance in athletics. Due to the small number of people examined and the high variability of the results of similar studies, we recommend confirming the results that further measurements are also carried out at higher angular velocities of 180.s-1 to 230.s-1, in different periods of the athletes' training.

Authors: İlbak İsmail , Açak Mahmut
Published: July 2024

Background: The purpose of this research was to determine whether there is a relation between chronotype type and factors known to have a great impact on sports performance such as sleep quality and mental toughness.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using the questionnaire technique. The population of this research consisted of 8.952 soccer players while the sample size consisted of 370 soccer players, with a confidence level of 95%. In this study, the "Turkish form of Morningness-Eveningness Stability Scale", "Mental Toughness Scale", and "Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire- Turkish Version" scales were usedas data collection tools.Results: There was a positive and statistically significant relation between MorningType (M-Type) and Mental Toughness (p<.005). In terms of sleep behavior, a statistically significant relation was found between Evening-Type (E-Type) and sleep behavior (sport-related factors), between M-Type and Neither-Type (N-Type) andsleep behavior (sleep quality), between M-Type and sleep behavior (habitual sleep efficiency) (p<.005).Conclusion: Based on the data of this research, it was found that soccer players with M-Type had higher mental toughness than soccer players with E-Type and N-Type. Furthermore, it was concluded that soccer players had low sleep quality in terms of sleep habits. It was found that E-Type soccer players were affected by sport-relatedfactors, M-Type soccer players were affected by habitual sleep efficiency factors, and M-Type and N-Type soccer players were affected by inefficient sleep factors.

A síndrome de Li-Fraumeni (SLF) foi descrita pela primeira vez em 1969 e se caracteriza por ser uma síndrome autossômica dominante, na qual o paciente possui predisposição a desenvolver diversos tipos de cânceres em razão de mutações no gene TP53. O carcinoma adrenal (CAA) é um tipo de tumor raro, afetando uma pessoa a cada um milhão. Porém, tratando-se da SLF, o CAA já passa a se tornar uma característica marcante. O rastreio de pacientes com a SLF é importante e pode evitar o desenvolvimento de uma síndrome de Cushing pelo tumor ou que ele se espalhe com metástases e, consequentemente, aumente demasiadamente as chances desse indivíduo evoluir para a morte. A presente revisão busca, dessa forma, abordar o carcinoma adrenal e a sua relação com a síndrome de Li-Fraumeni, já que as duas condições se relacionam e apresentam um risco de causar a morte do paciente. Para isso, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática na base de dados PubMed entre 2019 e 2024 que evidenciou a importância dessas condições inclusive no Brasil. O diagnóstico é com base na clínica, exames de imagem e o tratamento feito com base na retirada do tumor. Os profissionais da saúde precisam estar atentos quanto a prevalência desse tumor nos pacientes com a SLF e, assim, cuidar não apenas do doente naquele momento, mas também assegurar o bem-estar familiar e rastrear antecipadamente esse e outros cânceres malignos aos quais a pessoa está sujeita.

Introduction: Strategies and interventions must be customised according to particular needs as well as circumstances and provide service under the Yojana in order to decline the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) as well as Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). As a result, service packages must be created for mother and her newborn. Therefore, the aim of this study was to increase mother's knowledge by providing a self-instructional module about the Janani Shishu Suraksha Yojna (JSSY). Methodology: A quantitative approach of single group, pre- post-test research design were used in this research. Using a purposive sampling technique, the researchers chose 80 pregnant women to participate in the study. Results: The findings show that the average knowledge score before the intervention was 17.65±1.3, and after the intervention, it increased to 25.63±0.85. Antenatal mothers' knowledge score improved considerably between the pre- and post-tests (p0.05). The pre-test knowledge scores were not significantly associated (p>0.05) with any prenatal mothers' demographic factors. Conclusion: Present research highlights that antenatal mother's knowledge towards JSSY is much needed among antenatal mothers for better and safe care of both mother and newborn.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has placed significant mental and physical health burdens on military personnel, including both elite combat troops and injured servicemen in rehabilitation. Understanding the factors that influence their health outcomes is crucial for developing effective support and intervention strategies.
Purpose: This study aims to analyse the relationships between negative indicators of mental and physical health (PTSD symptoms and somatic complaints) and personal characteristics (resilience, self-efficacy, and Big Five personality traits) in two distinct samples of military personnel: elite combat troops and injured servicemen in rehabilitation. By comparing these groups, the study seeks to understand how personal characteristics influence health outcomes and whether the impact differs based on the context of military service.
Methodology: The study involved 180 Ukrainian military personnel (all men) divided into two groups: 149 elite combat troops and 31 injured combatants in rehabilitation. Participants completed self-report measures assessing PTSD symptoms, physical complaints, resilience, self-efficacy, and personality traits. Descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, ranges, skewness, and kurtosis) were computed, and independent samples t-tests and Cohen’s d were calculated to determine differences between the groups. Pearson's bivariate correlations and Z-tests were conducted to examine relationships between health indicators and personal characteristics. Multiple linear regression analysis (using the forward method) was performed to construct prognostic models for mental and physical health outcomes.
Results: Injured combatants exhibited significantly higher levels of PTSD symptoms, exhaustion, and various physical complaints compared to elite combat troops. In contrast, elite combat troops showed higher levels of resilience, self-efficacy, extraversion, and emotional stability. Regression models highlighted self-efficacy, resilience, and emotional stability as key predictors of reduced PTSD symptoms and physical complaints, with varying predictive values across the two groups.
Conclusion: The study underscores the importance of personal characteristics in mitigating the negative health impacts of combat exposure within the global mental health landscape. Tailored interventions enhancing resilience, self-efficacy, and emotional stability are crucial, particularly for injured combatants. Future research should employ longitudinal designs and larger samples to further understand the dynamics of these relationships and support the well-being of military personnel on a global scale. By addressing these critical areas, we can develop more effective strategies to support the mental health and recovery of those affected by combat and conflict worldwide.

Authors: Dewi Kresnasari  , Mei Gitarama Arbi
Published: July 2024

Segara Anakan is a lagoon surrounded by swamp forest with a mud substrate. Several biota live in it, one of which is Gastropods. This biota has slow movements and is relatively sedentary. The aim of research on gastropod biodiversity is to describe the diversity and dominance of their species. The research was conducted in July-September 2021. The research method used was a survey with a purposive random sampling technique at three stations taking into account differences in vegetation community structure. Station 1 (St 1) is in the eastern part of Segara Anakan with vegetation that dominates Aegiceras corniculatum; Station 2 (St 2) is in the middle of Segara Anakan with vegetation that dominates Nypa fruticans; Station 3 (St 3) is in the western part of Segara Anakan with vegetation dominating Sonneratia alba. Each station is determined by nine different sampling points once every month. The results showed that the Potamididae and Neritidae families were most commonly found at all stations during the study. The highest abundance is found in St 3, namely 1433 ind/m2, the lowest in St 1, namely 545 ind/m2. The diversity index in the medium category is at St 1 (1.05) and St 3 (1.59), while the low category is at St 2 (0.85). The dominance index in the medium category is at St 2 (0.55), and in the low category at St 1 (0.47) and St 3 (0.28). Factors that influence differences in abundance, diversity and dominance are adaptation, food and environmental conditions in which they live.

Published: July 2024

Water is one of the most important natural resources for human life. However, there are some problems that cause water to get polluted and not be used properly, one of which is the liquid waste of the hydrocarbon industry. Fly ash is a residue from coal combustion. Fly ash can be used as an adsorbent to reduce the content of hazardous fluid waste that could threaten human life. The study aims to find out the best NaOH concentration ratio between 1 M and 3 M added to activate fly ash against COD decrease, BOD, TSS, pH, and color change in Kutawaru Cilacap battery waste. The study passes through several stages, namely the first phase of activation of fly ash with NaOH at concentration ratios of 1M and 3M with a ratio of 1:5 for 3 hours. Then, in the adsorption process, the activated fly ash is mixed with battery liquid waste. The final phase is the testing of batik waste at the DLH Cilacap. The results obtained are at the concentration of 1M NaOH because it can reduce COD, BOD, and TSS up to 76%. With the result of COD of 3286 mg/L, BOD of 4921 mg/L, and TSS of 115 mg/L, whereas the results of concentration 3M, with COD of 3615 mg/L, COD 5397 mg/L, and TSS of 36 mg/L, PH for both these concentrations of 8 and the change in color of waste batik that remains black concentrated.

ABSTRACT
 Bronchial asthma is one of the allergic lung diseases and immunology which is a disease characterized by an increased responsiveness of the trachea and bronchi to various stimuli with manifestations in the form of difficulty breathing caused by a complete narrowing of the airway. The purpose of this study is to determine the administration of pused lips breathing can improve breathing and improve respiratory function disorders in asthma patients, and to find out yoga exercises in asthma patients can improve postural abnormalities and improve respiratory muscles in asthma patients. This study used a case study method on a 65 year old male patient. After six therapies, there was a decrease in pain, an increase in thoracic cage in inspiration and a decrease in the degree of shortness of breath. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that yoga and pursed lips breathing can improve breathing and improve the ability of functional activity in bronchial asthma patients.

В городском многопрофильном стационаре успешно внедрен высокотехнологичный метод хирургического лечения макулярных разрывов сетчатки. Оценены отдаленные результаты различных способов эндотампонады витреальной полости при хирургическом лечении макулярных разрывов сетчатки. Проведено лечение 26 пациентов (26 глаз) с идиопатическими сквозными макулярными разрывами сетчатки большого диаметра IV стадии (по Gass J.D.). Срок наблюдения в послеоперационном периоде составил от 3 до 12 месяцев. В сроки от 3 до 11 месяцев пациентам второй группы выполнялось этапное хирургическое вмешательство: микроинвазивная 25G ревизия витреальной полости с удалением силиконовой тампонады. После внедрения в повседневную практику городской многопрофильной больницы методики хирургического лечения макулярных разрывов большого диаметра, достигнуты результаты, сопоставимые с результатами применения данной методики в ведущих офтальмологических клиниках РФ, что расширяет доступность получения гражданами высокотехнологичной специализированной офтальмологической помощи.

Рак желудка остается одной из самых распространенных злокачественных опухолей, занимая 4-е место в мужской популяции (9,7%), 5-е в женской (5,2%). Пятилетняя выживаемость при поражении лимфатических узлов третьего порядка составляет 5–26%, а частота развития рецидива после хирургического лечения даже при применении адъювантной терапии при инвазии Т3–4 составляет 45%. В работе представлены отдаленные результаты комбинированного лечения 121 пациента с осложненными формами рака желудка с применением интраоперационной фотодинамической терапии и без нее. Больные были разделены на две группы: основную — 90 (74,3%) пациентов, которым проведена интраоперационная ФДТ c облучением зоны лимфодиссекции, и контрольную — 31 (25,7%) пациент, которым ФДТ не выполнялось. При сравнении отдаленных результатов лечения 6-месячная выживаемость в основной группе составила 87,7% по сравнению с 64% в контрольной группе; одногодичная 73,3% по сравнению с 50%. Медиана общей выживаемости пациентов основной группы составила 24 месяца, а в контрольной группе — 12 месяцев, при этом в контрольной группе она достигнута не была.

Stomach cancer remains one of the most common malignant tumors, ranking 4th in the male population (9.7%), 5th in the female population (5.2%). The five-year survival rate for thirdorder lymph nodes lesion is 5–26%, and the frequency of relapse after surgical treatment even with adjuvant therapy with invasion, T324 is 45%. The paper presents the long-term results of combined treatment of 121 patients with complicated forms of gastric cancer using intraoperative photodynamic therapy and without it. The patients were divided into two groups: the main group — 90 (74.3%) patients who underwent intraoperative PDT with irradiation of the lymph node dissection zone, and the control group, 31 (25.7%) patients who did not perform PDT. When comparing long-term treatment results: 6-month survival in the main group was 87.7% compared with 64% in the control group; one-year survival was 73.3% compared with 50%. The median overall survival of patients in the main group was 24 months, and in the control group — 12 months, while in the control group it was not achieved.
Reporting on Outcomes: An Adaptation of the ‘AQR-instrument’ Used to Evaluate Music Therapy in Autism
Authors: Lawes Martin
Published: July 2024

This article introduces an adaptation of the music therapy and autism specific AQR-instrument (Assessment of the Quality of Relationship) (Schumacher & Calvet 2007). The author developed this adaptation following the requirement to report on the outcomes of his work at a school for children with autism.
After introducing the AQR-instrument, the author describes how his adaptation enables him to produce bar charts illustrating client progress. This is done by drawing on the procedures of the Developmental Disabilities – Children’s Global Assessment Scale (Wagner et al. 2007). A case example illustrates the format used for the therapy plans, termly reports and annual review reports in which the bar charts are incorporated.
