Published: March 2022

The purpose of the article is to analyze the essential components of the image of the future of student youth — their social ideals, social expectations, moods and life planning. The authors based their conclusions on the results of an empirical study of third-year Yekaterinburg universities students enrolled in undergraduate programs (N = 2000). According to the results of the study, a reasonably close planning horizon was revealed among students. According to the students themselves, significant uncertainty and variability of the situation prevent them from planning their future for the long term. The authors see the main reasons for the student youth uncertainty in their future processes reflected in the respondents’ social phobias — economic risks — fears of becoming poor or unemployed, and political ones — feelings of insecurity from discrimination for political opinion, police violence and corruption of officials. The data revealed found that the image of the social future of Yekaterinburg students has a clearly expressed conflict character: the sharpest contradiction takes place between the social ideals of youth, including the achievement of a high standard of living, economic well-being, respect for human rights, a democratic society, equality and justice, and its social expectations, which are mostly negative — among them are rising prices, inflation, declining living standards, environmental degradation, political unrest and protests, conflicts, deterioration of relations with other countries. At the same time, despite the pessimism in assessments of the probable future of Russian society, the majority of the students surveyed believe that young people have opportunities to influence the development of society and achieve changes for the better.

Authors:   Ural Federal University, Merenkov Anatoly V. , Spiridonova Alina D. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: March 2022

Currently, digital platforms can act as venues for formulating collective purposes and identities. Digital communication is turning into one of the main ways to interact with wider audiences. Increased political competition and the necessity to gain voters’ attention require political parties to use all communication channels with target groups. New media are one of the tools for interaction with the electorate. They are becoming increasingly universal, mobile. The power of persuasive influence on the political consciousness and values of citizens is growing, thanks to the ability to spread information on the Internet through leaders of public opinion, the creation of communities of like-minded people. The article identified the most significant factors contributing to the success of the party New People and United Russia party at the federal and regional elections of to 2021. One of these factors is using social media to promote party programs amongst the general population of the electoral age. On the example of the Sverdlovsk region, the authors carried out a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the use of social networks of the young “New People” and United Russia, which have been part of the State Duma and the local legislative bodies for many years. An important conclusion is that the party “New People” has managed to effectively use social media when working with different segments of voters to realize the population request for renewal of the composition of the federal and local legislative bodies.
Intellectual Map of Domestic Aesthetics: To the Results of the Work of the Second Russian Congress of Aesthetics
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Kruglova Tatyana A.
Published: March 2022

The article is an overview of a prominent scientific event — The Second Russian Congress of Aesthetics (Yekaterinburg, July 2021). The paper assesses the state of aesthetics as a scientific and educational discipline throughout its history of the Soviet and post-Soviet periods. The article highlights four stages of the Soviet history of aesthetics. The first stage, the 1930s, received following K. Clark, the nomination “return of aesthetics”, which was associated with the general conservative turn of the Stalinist cultural policy, the creation of the socialist realist canon, the program of building socialism, the denial of the functionalism of the previous (avant-garde) stage. The “return of aesthetics” had not only a political and pragmatic content but contributed to the saturation of Soviet culture with fragments of the classical heritage, primarily the philosophical one. At the second stage (late Stalinism), there was a rollback of aesthetics in the direction of extreme political instrumentalization. During a short period of the “thaw,” aesthetics began to go behind public liberal discourse, yielding leadership to journalism and art criticism. At the stage of the “long seventies”, aesthetics becomes an influential and in-demand scientific discipline, included in the program of “technical progress” and “education of the builder of communism”, important ideological, aesthetic, and applied tasks are assigned to aesthetics since it is expected to influence all spheres of life. Aesthetics as philosophy and science develops, responding to contacts with semiotics, psychology, anthropology, cultural history, and sociology. Relying on the selective stream of translations of Western art philosophy, Soviet aesthetics begins to resonate with world trends, which is facilitated by the tacit consensus of the idea of aesthetics as a part of philosophical and humanitarian knowledge that has its autonomy. The state of aesthetics in the 1990s and early 2000s is qualified as a change of scientific generations and the emergence of new groups of professionals in aesthetic and artistic knowledge, not related to academic aesthetics, forming their conceptual vision of the development of art and aesthetics relations. The current state of aesthetics was diagnosed with a brief description of the last 15 years, when contacts with foreign aesthetic schools became regular and academic aesthetics began to be in demand in master’s educational programs, intellectual venues for festivals, and biennials of contemporary art, and cultural management programs. A large portion of the article is devoted to the analysis of the composition of the participants, their professional interests and competencies, the frequent concepts discussed in the sections, the structure of polemical problems, and crosscutting topics of all congress participants.
The Minimum Wage Institute and the problems of wage labor poverty
Authors: Simonin Pavel , Povorina Elena , Larionova Anna
Published: March 2022

The minimum wage can help reduce wage inequality, provided that employees and employers meet each other's demands in the workplace. The authors, based on an in-depth theoretical and methodological justification, emphasize that in most industries wages and conditions are determined through free collective bargaining between employers and trade unions. At the same time, it is argued that low investment in labor relations and union membership rates encourage democratic governments to establish stricter minimum wage policies. It is noted that the low level of the minimum wage creates incentives for social dialogue, in the presence of a "good" balance characterized by strong parameters of cooperation, leading to a high density of trade unions and low state regulation. The authors emphasize that recently there has been a paradigm shift towards the "health-illness" process, especially for workers with minimum wages. At the same time, the absence of strong trade unions does not provide an acceptable psychosocial and organizational working environment, which causes significant harm to the health of staff, especially for the proportion of people receiving minimum wages. At the same time, industrial development and an effective income distribution system based on a reasonable minimum wage rate will ensure the reproduction of human capital, increase labor productivity and will be an effective policy tool for increasing income and consumption of households dependent on the minimum wage.

Abstract Objectives: to evaluate the bone mass in prepubertal patients with Turner Syndrome (TS) according to height age (HA) and verify the influence of karyotype and adiposity. Methods: retrospective and analytical study of prepubertal TS patients. The variables analyzed were: karyotype, age at bone densitometry (BD), height, body mass index (BMI) and BD result. The result of the BD was corrected using HA. BMI and BD were calculated on Z score for chronological age (CA) and for HA. Results: thirty-seven prepubertal patients were selected and after exclusion criteria, 13 cases between 10 and 13 years old were included in the study. The BD for HA was significantly higher than for CA (0.39 ± 1.18 x −1.62 ± 1.32), without karyotype (p=0.369) and BMI (p=0.697) influence. Conclusion: prepubertal TS patients present normal BD when corrected for HA, without influence of karyotype and BMI.

Authors: Giroud J. P. , Plusquellec H.
Published: March 2022

This technical note complements a published lining evaluation for a canal in Egypt. Concrete and geomembrane linings are compared regarding leakage control and cost. Published data on leakage with concrete and geomembrane linings are reviewed, and analyses show that the predicted leakage rate is significantly lower with a geomembrane lining than with a concrete lining. The findings presented herein on leakage control and cost are significantly different from the findings of the published lining evaluation.
Reliability analysis for internal seismic stability of geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls
Authors: Alhajj Chehade H. , Guo X. , Dias D. , Sadek M. , Jenck O. , Hage Chehade F.
Published: March 2022

A reliable design of geotechnical structures requires an appropriate estimation and consideration of the parameter's uncertainties. Traditional design codes account for the uncertainties by using conservative factors. This paper presents a reliability-based analysis of the seismic internal stability of geosynthetic reinforced earth retaining walls. The deterministic computation of the structure safety factor is based on the upper bound theorem of limit analysis. The discretization technique is used to generate the rotational failure mechanism so that the seismic loading can be implemented by the pseudo-dynamic approach. The considered uncertainties involve the soil shear strength parameters, seismic loading and reinforcement strength parameters. The Sparse Polynomial Chaos Expansion combined with Monte Carlo Simulation is the reliability method considered to carry out the probabilistic analysis. The influence of the correlation between the soil parameters and the random variables distribution type on the probabilistic results are investigated and discussed. A global sensitivity analysis is performed in order to specify the contribution of each random variable to the reinforced earth retaining wall safety factor.

The core of performance in adolescent cricket pace bowlers: Trunk muscle stability, maybe, but not strength-endurance and thickness
Authors: Olivier Franso-Mari , Olivier Benita , Mnguni Nkazimulo
Published: March 2022

Background: The trunk connects the upper and lower limbs and transfers energy during movement. Exploring the role of the trunk muscles in bowling performance affords us the opportunity to uncover potential mechanisms to improve bowling performance.
Objectives: To investigate the association between bowling performance and trunk muscle stability, strength-endurance and thickness in adolescent pace bowlers.
Methods: Adolescent pace bowlers participated in this crosssectional study. Trunk muscle stability was measured using Sahrmann’s Stability Scale, strength-endurance using the Bourbon Trunk Muscle Strength Test and thickness of the abdominal wall and lumbar multifidus muscles using ultrasound imaging.
Results: Forty-six pace bowlers with a mean age of 15.9 ±1.2 years participated. The average ball release speed was109.2±11.8 km.h-1 . This measurement was higher in level four of stability than in level two (mean difference 22.2 ± SD 6.8 km.h-1; p= .018). No link between ball release speed and strength-endurance could be found. Multiple correlations of moderate strength (r > 0.4) exist between ball release speed and absolute trunk muscle thickness with height and weight as confounding factors. The relationship between accuracy and the trunk muscle variables investigated in this study is weak.
Conclusion: Bowlers with better trunk muscle stability bowled faster than those with a lower level of trunk stability,irrespective of their age, height and weight. Trunk muscle thickness correlated with ball release speed; however,confounding factors such as height and weight play a role and therefore, findings need to be interpreted with caution.
Dolia in the Middle La Tène Period of the Carpathian Basin in the light of new finds from Perkáta-Nyúli-dűlő
Authors: Garczik Ábel
Published: March 2022

The excavations carried out by the Hungarian National Museum in Perkáta-Nyúli-dűlő have revealed the remains of a Late Iron Age settlement. Two large ceramic storage containers found in a house of this settlement, dating from the La Tène C1–C2 period, are in the focus of the present study. These two large pots, known as dolia, have very few parallels in the entire Carpathian Basin, especially the decorated specimen. Before analysing these vessels, a brief preliminary description of the site and the feature is given.
New data on the Pannonian glazed casserole handles
Authors: Delbó Gabriella G.
Published: March 2022

The casseroles with relief decoration handles are one of the typical groups of Pannonian glazed pottery in the 2nd century AD. The 44 relief decorated handles made in clay molds are mostly known from Aquincum, Brigetio, and Mursa, while – up until recently – only two molds have been found in Aquincum and Mursa. The new clay mold with Amor decoration, discovered in Brigetio in 2008, expands our knowledge about the production of early Roman glazed potteries. It is unique that besides this mold, a glazed casserole – made with this specific mold – was also found in Brigetio.

Technological observations on a Late Copper Age ceramic assemblage from Hódmezővásárhely-Kopáncs-Olasz-tanya, Hungary
Authors: Gucsi László
Published: March 2022

The observations of the present paper, following the footsteps of previous studies, provide researchers with a rich set of data that shed more light on the pottery manufacturing techniques of Late Copper Age potters. The investigated assemblage belongs to the Baden culture, excavated at Hódmezővásárhely-Kopáncs-Olasz-tanya I in 2009. So far, four studies have been published on other sites from the heritage of Baden culture, which have been examined in a similar way, focusing on pottery technology. Therefore, the Baden culture is currently the most researched in this respect because the same macroscopic methods were used. In this state of research, we have an opportunity to compare these five assemblages, which allows us to identify similarities and differences in certain details of the technology of potting tradition of different regions in one extended cultural complex. In order to clarify the terminology and certain procedures of handbuilding techniques and possible tool usage in burnishing I make corrections on earlier statements. In addition to observations of potting technology also documenting the use-traces, the secondarily used sherds and any noticeable phenomena, such as grain imprints on ceramics. For the question of intentional or accidental occurrence of grain imprints on ceramics, I share the potter’s viewpoint, to shed more light on this topic. The aim of this paper is to present and discuss a wide range of phenomena that can be used for the chaîne opératoire of pottery production and object-biographical studies.
Controversial issues: A mixed study with middle school students
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Durdane
Published: March 2022

The purpose of the research was to determine the opinions of middle school students about the inclusion of controversial issues in social studies course. In this mixed methods study, an explanatory design was used, and the participants involved middle school students studying in Kırşehir, Osmaniye, and Diyarbakır provinces of Turkey during the 2020-2021 academic year. The quantitative data were collected using the “Student Questionnaire for Controversial Issues” while the qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 25 and the qualitative data were analyzed through MAXQDA 20. In the analysis of quantitative data, descriptive statistics (percentage, frequency, mean, standard deviation) and t-test and one-way analysis of variance/ANOVA were used since the data had normal distribution. Tukey test was administered to determine between which groups the difference existed. In the qualitative phase, audio-recorded interviews were converted into Word files, then analyzed and divided into meaningful codes. Four themes emerged by combining the codes in common categories. As a result of the research, it was found that the controversial topics that the students wanted to be included in the social studies course the most were human rights and violence. Whilst the subject of terrorism was determined as the subject that the students did not want to be included in the lesson in the quantitative dimension, it was determined that there were different opinions among the students regarding including the subject of terrorism in the qualitative dimension. It was also found that participants’ opinions about the inclusion of controversial issues differed in terms of gender, grade level, the city they live in, and reading habits. The reason why all of the students wanted controversial topics to be included in the course was to learn about controversial issues and to raise their awareness of these issues
Views of the Students Learning Turkish as a Foreign Language on Distance Education during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: KARTALLIOĞLU Nurettin
Published: March 2022

This study examines the views of international students learning Turkish as a foreign language (TFL)through distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study is qualitative by nature and employed the case study method. The study group consisted of 31 nationals from different countries who had to take preparatory TFL courses in order to qualify as undergraduate students at the faculty of Engineering of the Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University during the 2019-2020 academic year. A semi-structured interview form was used to determine the views of the participating foreign students on distance education during the pandemic. The results showed a decline in the expected language levels of the students due to technology and education-related problems they experienced during their distance learning process. While the students expressed the positive aspects of distance education as protection from the virus, recording of the classes which allowed repeated viewing, gaining experience, and saving time; the negative aspects expressed by the students were lack of previous experience in distance education, feelings of isolation, and having trouble asking for clarification when a teaching point was not understood during classes. More than half of the students stated that their motivation had increased during distance education and that they reported improvement in all their language skills but speaking. While the TFL students expressed positive opinions about online exams stating that they experienced less exam stress and did not have to go to school to take them, they also mentioned negative aspects of those exams such as technical problems they experienced while taking the exams and a high likelihood of cheating. Suggestions were made by the researcher based on the findings.

Mulheres viajantes no mundo romano (séc. IV-V d.C.)
Authors: Siqueira Silvia M. A.
Published: March 2022

Este artigo versa sobre viagens de mulheres que viveram entre os séculos IV e V. O estudo analisa a questão do deslocamento para a Terra Santa por meio do Itinerarium Burdigalensis e procura compreender o discurso sobre quatro mulheres que viajaram para a Palestina. Helena, mãe do imperador Constantino; Egéria, a peregrina que redigiu o seu diário de viagem; e duas matronas romanas, Paula e Melânia, que não apenas decidiram viajar como também atuaram de modo ímpar, vivendo em novos lugares, construindo e interferindo na paisagem com a edificação de mosteiros, auxílio aos peregrinos, etc. Seu objetivo é compreender como a memória dessas viajantes contribui para alimentar um imaginário coletivo, porque a viagem proporciona uma identidade ao território e também para a própria viajante que faz do seu percurso um elemento fundamental da sua vida. Nesse sentido, a viagem ultrapassa a mera metáfora para a ampliação de novos horizontes; ela é uma prática da alteridade.

A sangra-d’água (Croton urucurana Baill.) é uma árvore de difícil propagação por sementes. Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da época de coleta de estacas e de diferentes concentrações de ácido indolbutírico (IBA), no enraizamento de estacas de Croton urucurana Baill. As coletas foram realizadas em novembro/2017, fevereiro/2018, maio/2018 e agosto/2018. As estacas tiveram suas bases imersas em solução hidroalcoólica (50 v/v) de IBA, nas concentrações de zero, 500, 1.000, 2.000, 4.000 e 8.000 mg L-1, por 10 segundos. O delineamento experimental adotado foi inteiramente casualizado, com 24 tratamentos, em arranjo fatorial de 4 x 6 (épocas do ano x concentrações de IBA), e quatro repetições de 24 estacas/parcela. Avaliou-se a porcentagem de estacas enraizadas, número médio de raízes/estaca, comprimento médio de raízes, massa seca média de raízes/estaca, porcentagem de estacas com brotações, porcentagem de estacas que mantiveram folhas e porcentagem de estacas não enraizadas. A época de coleta de estacas não influenciou na porcentagem de estacas enraizadas e não enraizadas, cujas médias foram de 28,6% e 71,4%, respectivamente, entretanto, foi significativa para o número médio de raízes/estaca, comprimento médio de raízes e massa seca média de raízes/estaca. A aplicação de IBA influenciou positivamente o número médio de raízes/estaca e a massa seca de raízes/estacas, sendo a concentração de 8.000 mg L-1 a mais eficaz. C. urucurana pode ser propagada em qualquer época do ano, mas com baixo percentual de enraizamento. A aplicação de IBA não se mostra eficiente para a propagação vegetativa de C. urucurana por estaquia.

Background: Photobiomodulation therapy with static magnetic field (PBMT/sMF) stands out for being a non-pharmacological resource with bioenergetic effects capable of accelerating muscle recovery, delaying muscle fatigue and potentiate gains in different training protocols. In recent years, blood flow restriction (BFR) associated with low load exercise (20-30% 1RM/MVC) has demonstrated positive effects on muscle performance. However, the effects of PBMT/sMF combined with BFR training are still unknown.

Objective: Verify the effects of PBMT/sMF associated with BFR training and compared with high load training (HLT) in the muscle strenght, muscle damage, inflammation, and the oxidative stress.

Materials and methods: This are a protocol of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The participants will be healthy men between the ages of 18 to 40 years, with no practice in upper limb strength training in the previous three months. The voluntaries will be randomly divided into four groups: (1) PBMT/sMF + BFR ; (2) PBMT/sMF + HLT; (3) placebo + BFR; (4) placebo + HLT. The PBMT/sMF will be applied immediately before strengthening protocol (4 sets x 20 repetitions of elbow flexion). The BFR groups will undergo to exercise with low load (30% of MVC), while the HLT groups will performed the same protocol with 80 % of MVC. The primary outcome will be muscle strength, measured in baseline, fourth, eighth week of training and detraining period. The secondary outcomes include measured the fatigue resistance, arm circumference, muscle damage, inflammatory and oxidative stress levels in one session, during, after intervention and detraining.

Discuss: This trial will elucidate the effects of PBMT/sMF combined with BFR  training and compared with HLT.

Background: Transcutaneous electrical nervous stimulation (TENS) and interferential electrical stimulation (IES) attenuates muscle metaboreflex by sympathetic nervous modulation. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that IES may be more effective than TENS to improves blood flow which may be linked to greater of deep tissue. Methods: Eleven health subjects were randomized to TENS (80 Hz, 150μs), IES (4000 Hz, ΔAMF=25 Hz) or sham stimulation group, during 30 minutes. The acute intervention was applied on stellate ganglion region (C7-T4). Results: Were measured metaboreflex activity by calf vascular resistance (CVR) and calf blood flow (CBF) and HRV during three times: rest, exercise (static handgrip) and postexercise circulatory occlusion (PECO+ and PECO-). At the exercise peak, compared with TENS and Sham, the IES group reduced CVR (36 ± 3 vs 43 ± 3; p<0.05) and increased CBF (p<0.01). Also, IES was associated with a greater reduction on the MMA (IES: 9 ± 2, TENS: 14 ± 4, Sham: 26 ± 5 units; p<0.01). Furthermore, the IES group had a higher reduction of LF/HF ratio during PECO- and PECO+ (p<0.05). Conclusion: The IES over the stellate ganglion region seems to have superior efficacy compared with TENS to attenuate metaboreflex activation and vasodilatory responses during exercise in healthy subjects.

The actual stage of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic reveals the necessity to rehabilitate patients, mainly those who were severe and critical ill during acute infection. These post-COVID19 patients might present multiple factors, which culminates in impairment of oxygenation to skeletal muscles, with prejudice in overall functional capacity. These factors can be described as a reduced pulmonary diffusion capacity, a cardiovascular and oxygen transport dysfunction and deconditioning of skeletal muscles.

            The proposition of pulmonary rehabilitation program for the aforementioned patients evaluates pulmonary, cardiac, skeletal muscles and overall function. The conduction of this program might address specifically each one of the potential impairment oxygenation factors, with significant impact evaluated functions and, by consequence, in overall functional capacity.
The Effect of Seismic Sequences in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis

Traditionally, probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) considers only mainshock events and models their temporal occurrence through a homogeneous Poisson process. Thus, it disregards foreshocks and aftershocks, assuming they have a minor effect on PSHA. However, recent earthquake sequences, such as those in 2016–2017 in Central Italy and 2010–2011 in Christchurch, New Zealand, exposed the shortcomings of such a universally used but unconservative approach. Our efforts to quantify the bias in seismic hazard and risk estimates follow from these considerations. Herein, we investigate the epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model’s ability to reproduce the statistical features of long-term historical seismicity in Italy in two different regions.

In addition, we calculate and compare the seismic hazard at two sites in Central Italy using different approaches: (1) with seismicity clustering modeled using the ETAS model; (2) with only mainshocks modeled by means of the Poissonian approach; and (3) with seismicity clustering modeled via a combination of Poisson and modified Omori law. We consider two cases: (1) the “unconditional case,” which uses years of varying seismicity as initial conditions and, therefore, can be considered as a tool for predicting the long-term average hazard, and (2) “conditional case,” in which the hazard is estimated after a specific period, in our case higher than average seismicity. We scrutinize the different modeling assumptions during the process and investigate the effect of using different declustering methods in Poisson-based models. As expected, we find that using the mainshock-only seismicity models yields lower hazard estimates compared to those obtained with the Omori and ETAS model. In addition, we show that Omori and ETAS model predict similar results in the unconditional case, but the Omori model considerably underpredicts the hazard in the conditional case, for a site close to the sequences, when temporal variations in seismic hazard are accounted for.

Artists and arts organizations need funding from external sources to complete projects and to pay for operational expenses. The issue this study addresses is the use of crowd funding in the arts. The objective of this study is to determine what role crowd funding plays in arts funding in the United States. Interviews with three arts crowd funders were conducted to gather data. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed. Three themes arose from the data. The themes are success factors to arts crowd funding, challenges to using crowd funding in the arts, and the use of multiple funding methods. These themes will be useful in understanding the role that crowd funding plays in the funding portfolio of artists and arts organizations. This study contributes to the general body of arts funding knowledge by studying crowd funding as an innovative addition to the traditional sources available to fund arts projects.

Antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of thyme has been well established against various microorganisms. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of aqueous and alcoholic extract of thyme on beef mincemeat quality. Three differential concentrations (0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 mg/ml) of both thyme extracts were used for the beef mincemeat preservation. Untreated meat samples were considered as the control group while the extracts treated beef mincemeat are stored at 4°C for 7 to 14 days. To validate the extract's ability to prolong the storage period at 4 °C, various bacteriological indicators like total plate count, presence of total coliform, Salmonella, Shigella, and Staphylococcus aureus count were assessed. The results of the antimicrobial assay of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of thyme at different concentrations showed that the aqueous extract had significant inhibitory action on the growth of a wide range of bacteria compared to the alcoholic extract. Thus, the thyme aqueous extracts can be efficient and promising as preservatives for meat and its products, especially at high concentrations to inhibit bacterial growth.

Peat swamp forests are playing important role in climate change by carbon storage, biodiversity conservation, and crucial local livelihoods. The construction of drainage channels in Sebangau National Park, Indonesia negatively affects the Peatland ecosystem and degrades the vegetation diversity. This research aims to study the composition and vegetation diversity of secondary peat swamp forests in Sebangau National Park (SNP), especially around large and small drainage channels. For the observation of vegetation composition and diversity, each observation block consisted of 3 transects that were 300 m apart from each other, and perpendicular to the channel. For observations on small drainage channel blocks, transects are made to continue the previous transect at a distance of 500 m from the end of the large drainage channel. On each transect, 5 plots of vegetation were made using the plot line method with a distance of 50 m between each plot. A total of 15 plots of 30mx30m size were prepared for each drainage channel category. Observations were made on the growth rate of seedlings in a 2m x 2m plot, poles in a 5m x 5m plot, saplings in a 10m x 10m plot, and trees in a 20m x 20m plot. The results of the study showed that Shorea spp., Combretocarpus rotundatus, Cratoxylum arborencens, and Calophyllum sp. are the dominant plant species of the study area. Overall 92 species were reported from the Large Drainage Channel block and 86 species from the Small Drainage Channel block. Further, the Species Diversity ranged between 1.43 - 1.57 while Species Richness ranged from 16.80 – 23.03, and the Evenness Index ranged from 0.83 – 0.92 at all levels of vegetation growth. Results of the study can be concluded that the channel dimensions do not have any effect on species number, diversity index, species richness, and species evenness at all levels of vegetation growth. The Similarity Index of species at seedlings, saplings, and poles is more than 50%, while at the tree level it was reported less than 50%.

This paper aims to determine whether coronavirus (COVID-19) causes cost increases in accommodation enterprises and, if any, what these costs are. Additionally, executive perspectives were taken on operational budgets for 2020, occupancy rates, profitability, the decision to stay on or off, and expectations for the following year. The case study employed a qualitative research method, a multiple caseholistic design, and semi-structured interviews to elicit data. The data were collected from ten hotel managers in four- and five-star hotels in Kemer, Antalya, and serve as a sample for the study. COVID-19 has revealed the costs associated with hotel security and health measures, hygiene and cleanliness, and technological tools. Apart from these, legal restrictions have reduced the tourism season in hotel businesses from eight to four months. Business occupancy rates remained between 45- 60 per cent. Additionally, there was a 60% negative deviation in the enterprises' budget targets. Hotel managers were more concerned with achieving breakeven, keeping staff employed, and maintaining the hotel's image than with achieving the expected profit.
