National Specifics of the Language Worldview
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Vaganova Elena
Published: June 2022

This article presents the main approaches to the study of the national specifics of the language worldview. The relationship between the concepts of "worldview", "language" and "thinking" is determined by the ontological foundations of the formation of a linguistic picture of the world as a structural unity of ordered elements. The national specificity of worldview is determined by the subjective perception of reality, which is reflected in the worldview and the implementation of the received ideas and knowledge about the world in speech activity. National specifics includes historical processes and phenomena, way of life, living conditions, traditions, customs, national consciousness and personal self-identification. The worldview can be presented as a system of categories. The subject connection of categories goes back to the ideas of Aristotle. Aristotle defines categories as the most general concepts of the world and ways of knowing it. The role of categories in human cognitive activity is unique. They serve as a means of mental division, grouping, classification of surrounding objects and phenomena, that is, they help to organize the elements of the worldview. The concept of worldview and model of the world is related. Image of the world - is a system of coherent images of reality, reflecting the ethnic and cultural consciousness in a certain perception of the world. Ethnic and cultural image of the world is due to the system coordinates, through which people perceive and interpret the reality around them. The world model is a scheme that is filled in the minds of the displayed objects of reality, in other words, the content includes a picture of the world.

Introduction: Aging is a natural process but at the same time, the aging population has substantially increased. Socially this stage is considered the total of one lived experience. Materials and methods: The sample size has been 200 which is 100 in each group. Individuals beyond 60 years of age and who will be able to cooperate with the study were included in the study. World Health Organization oral health assessment form (2013) was used to record the oral health status of the subjects. The data were entered into an excel sheet and transferred to SPSS V. 21. for statistical analysis and Chi-square and ANOVA tests were done. Results: On assessment, 83 percent of old-age home residents and 68 percent from the family group did not have a periodontal pocket. Nonetheless, 12 percent of the individuals in a care home and 31% of the subjects in the family setting had pocket depths of 4-5 mm, while 1% of both groups had pocket depths of 6 mm. In comparison among elderly within the family set up and old age, homes reported a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (p < 0.001) Conclusion: The findings of this study revealed that the institutionalized geriatric population suffers from a wide range of dental illnesses, the most frequent of which is dental caries. For the same, many of them require extensive treatment.
THE GHOSTS OF IMAGE: FROM WRITERS’ MUSEUMS TO THE MNEMOSYNE ATLAS
Authors: KAPTAN Merve
Published: June 2022

In this paper we aim, by opening up to exploration the possible definitions or aspects of the concept of image, to demonstrate that the state of emotion and the truth described by Gilles Deleuze as the ideal essence of signifiers of art is in fact manifested in the image. As samples in visual culture of embodiement of art signifiers as conceptualized through literature in Deleuze’s book Proust and Signs, we employ critical close analysis to Orhan Pamuk’s Museum of Innocence in Cukurcuma and Aby Warburg’s Bilderatlas (Memory Atlas). The rationale behind this selection is motivated both by their thematic similarities with Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time and by the qualities of the relationship they establish between memory and image.The in-depth interview conducted with the art director of the museum, Kıymet Daştan puts forth a qualitative resarch value.
HAMAM, ZENNE, VE YAŞAMIN KIYISINDA FİLMLERİNDE ORYANTALİST İMGELEM VE BAKIŞ
Authors: PEKER DAĞLI Sanem , ÖZARSLAN Zeynep
Published: June 2022

Orientalism still provides a rich literature to explore the representations of the Orient from a Western perspective as well as the manifest and latent power relations designating the Orientalist imagery. Following Edward Said’s theorization of Orientalism, this paper examines Orientalist imagery, iconography, and gaze from a sexual difference perspective in Turkey’s cinema on the trajectory of the films Il Bagno Turco aka Hamam, Zenne Dancer aka Zenne, and Auf Der Anderen Seite aka Yaşamın Kıyısında. The paper discusses the representations of the West(ern) and East(ern) characters, cities, spaces and culture and Orientalist gaze in the selected films from a sexual difference perspective. Semiotic film analysis is implemented as the methodology, deploying Roland Barthes’s conceptualizations on semiotics as a supporting component. The analysis reveals that the visual and narrative structures of the selected films are ornated with both manifest and latent Orientalist elements, the leading of which are romanticism and homoeroticism of the Oriental.
A study on the determination of damage levels in reinforced concrete structures for different earthquakes
Authors: IŞIK Ercan , ULU Ali Emre , TUNÇ Şakir , KESKİNER Ali
Published: June 2022

It is important for spatial planning and urban transformation to determine and manage all the information about the buildings damaged after the earthquake. In this respect, the first damage assessments should be made as quickly and practically as possible, especially immediately after the earthquake. Within the scope of this study, the reinforced concrete structure damage classification given in the European Macro-Seismic Scale (EMS) was used, taking into account five different earthquakes in Turkey. Sample buildings were identified for five different degrees of damage foreseen in the EMS. In addition to the information about these earthquakes, seismic parameters were obtained for the earthquake epicenters. The peak ground acceleration values measured for all earthquakes considered in the study were compared with the currently recommended peak acceleration values.
Marine mammals fossil remains and synthesis of the sedimentary and paleontological record of the Furninha Cave Pleistocene (Peniche, Portugal)
Authors: Figueiredo Silvério Manuel Domingues , Cunha Pedro Proença , Carvalho Ismar S.
Published: June 2022

The Gruta da Furninha is a cave-site in Lower Jurassic limestones, of mainly marine genesis located at ~850 m SE of the Carvoeiro Cape, on the southern coast of the Peniche peninsula (central western mainland Portugal). The entrance gallery, situated in the middle of the cliff, is at ~15 m of altitude. This cave contained a rich and diverse fossiliferous set of Late Pleistocene vertebrates, distributed in several stratigraphic levels, currently housed at the Geological Museum of LNEG (Lisbon). The cave had a record of primitive human occupations documented by 106 Middle to Late Paleolithic artefacts, found in the lower lithostratigraphic unit (Pleistocene). It had also another human occupation in an upper unit (Neolithic, Holocene), where were found human skeleton elements and artefacts. This study focuses on two teeth previously identified as crocodile, housed in collections of the Geological Museum in the assemblages of the Furninha Cave and on a set of five bones, housed at Centro Português de Geo-História e Pré-História (CPGP) collected in a marine terrace in the Furninha cliff. The occurrence of crocodile remains in the Upper Pleistocene of Portugal is not consistent with the fossil record of this period or with the environmental conditions associated with the fully marine paleoenvironments around Furninha Cave. A more detailed analysis of these teeth and their stratigraphic location, now supports that they are cetacean teeth with ~80 ka, which is consistent with the fossil association, depositional environments and climate conditions of the Late Pleistocene in mainland Portugal. To add to these two teeth, in 2017 in sedimentary field work in the marine terraces on the cliffs of the Gruta da Furninha, at the level of 4 to 7 m, found five bones remains, which could be carpal bones of marine mammals.

This research aimed to measure the impact of air and agricultural soil pollution on social development in Saudi Arabia from the period 1995–2019 by using social development indicators, concentrating on the percentages of expenditure on education and health, and the Human Development Index. In addition, this study uses multiple regressions in estimating the model to study the impact of air pollution and agricultural soil on social development. Results of the study showed that a 10% change in the number of chemical fertilizers and pesticides used in Saudi agriculture leads to a change in the total number of inpatients by 0.7% and 0.5%, respectively. It was also found that an increased percentage of health expenditure to total government spending by 10% leads to a decrease in the total number of patients in the hospital by 1.8%. An increase in air pollution, expressed as a 10% increase in CO2 emissions, increases the total number of hospitalized patients by 11.1%.  The increasing total number of patients by 10% leads to a decrease in the total productivity of the worker, as an indicator of 1.8%. Furthermore, a change of 10% in the ratio of education expenditure to total government expenditure leads to a change in the same direction of the Human Development Index by 9.6%. In light of these results, it can be recommended that the country need to reduce air pollution by expanding the use of natural gas in the industrial and transportation sectors, in addition to reducing the use of nitrogenous fertilizers and pesticides in Saudi agriculture through the expansion of clean farming and good agricultural practices.
Influence of Hand Anthropometry and Nutrient Intake on Hand Grip Strength: A Correlational Study Among Young Indian Badminton Players
Authors: Saha Shreyashi , Nande Prajakta , Nimonkar Ravi
Published: June 2022

Badminton is a fast shuttle-racquet game, which requires adequate endurance and agility for hitting shots. For consistent and superior performances, players need to develop decent nutritional status and tremendous physical fitness. The present study concerns with the effect of anthropometric indices and nutritional profiles on arm strength for racquet gripping. Adolescent male (N=100) and female (N=100) badminton players aged 10 to 15 years were selected from Nagpur, India, and arm anthropometric indices and skeletal muscles of the players were determined by tape and bioelectrical impedance analyzer respectively. Muscle growing macronutrient (protein) and skeletal developing micronutrients (calcium and phosphorus) were calculated from dietary data for consecutive 3 days by the 24-hour dietary recall method. Arm strength was appraised from the hand grip strength test. Statistically, the assessed data were tested at 1% and 5% significance levels. Pearson correlation coefficients were derived. All the age groups possessed substantially shorter arm lengths (2.41-15.43%) than reference standards. Older groups appeared to have greater arm circumferences (1.00-3.92 cm) than younger groups. Overall, boys showed elevated skeletal muscles (6.69% and 8.29%) than girls. Dietary protein and phosphorus ingestion were significantly higher (45.42-90.88% and 16.18-40.62%) than recommended dietary allowances (RDAs). Calcium intake (23.26-28.48%) was below the RDA. Older male players performed under excellent grade (38%) in the hand grip strength test, depicting masculine supremacy. Positive correlations (r= 0.0710 to 0.5947) between arm anthropometry and nutrient intake with grip strength proved their affirmative effects on delivering various explosive shots, which can enhance the performance level of emerging young players.

Published: June 2022

In the current study, a geriatric male pig-tailed macaque having a mass growing up to the left shoulder for the past five months has been reported from the Wildlife Rescue Centre (WRC) Jogja. It was an approximately 4x4x2 cm, firm, hairless focal non-encapsulated mass suspected as a skin-derivative tumor. A cytological test was performed on the mass and a skin biopsy was carried out to see the tissue content of the mass. Histopathological examination confirmed that the mass was identical to papilloma. In the next step of the study, the surgery was conducted and the mass was removed. However, after surgery, the health condition of the macaque gradually deteriorated and the performed hematological tests revealed a gradual increase in the number of leukocyte cells that indicated a developing chronic inflammatory response. Further, the erythrocyte level was in the normal range but showed a declining trend which suspecting progressing anemia. One month after the surgery general muscle stiffness was reported in the macaque which is a clinical sign of tetanus and the macaque died even after the ATT serum treatments. Necropsy findings confirmed a significant chronic bilateral diffuse pneumonia. This case study showed an unpredicted sequence of disease occurrence in geriatric macaque after undergoing the initial surgery of cutaneous mass extraction. Hence, the results of the study suggest that a routine regular health screening coupled with clinical laboratory examination may assist the early detection based on the subclinical signs of disease in geriatric animals in rehabilitation centers.

Authors: Kasso Terhemen , Obidinnu Elizabeth N.
Published: June 2022

Background: Abortion is a sensitive and contentious issue with religious, moral, cultural, and political dimensions. Induced abortion especially when unsafe can endanger a woman’s reproductive health and lead to serious life-threatening complications and even death. This study was aimed at determining the knowledge and prevalence of induced abortion amongst female undergraduates at a tertiary institution in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out on 303 female undergraduate students at the University of Port Harcort in November 2019. Data was collected using structured self-administered questionnaires and the information obtained was analysed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0.Results: Majority of the respondents (93.1%) had good knowledge of abortion and most of them (96.4%) knew abortion as termination of pregnancy while 84.8% knew it to be illegal. Also, 25.7% had previously been pregnant with 79.5% of such pregnancies ending in induced abortion. This study noted that the age, level of study, religion, residence and family status of the respondents significantly influenced the practice of induced abortion (p<0.05).Conclusions: There was good knowledge of abortion and the complications of unsafe abortion among the respondents; however, many of them who had previously been pregnant had unsafe abortions. More awareness creation on the dangers of unsafe abortion and use of contraceptives especially the barrier methods among young people will significantly reduce the menace of unsafe abortion with its attendant complications.

TRANSLATION INTERPRETATION OF HAMLET’S MONOLOGUE “TO BE OR NOT TO BE” IN THE CONTEXT OF THE LITERARY PRINCIPLES OF V.V. NABOKOV AND B.L. PASTERNAK
Authors: Strygin Artem Yu.
Published: June 2022

Vladimir Nabokov’s translation of Hamlet’s soliloquy is compared to the original text and Boris Pasternak’s version. The translators had different views on the theory of translation which manifests through different approaches taken by Nabokov and Pasternak when they were translating Shakespeare’s conceptual metaphors. Nabokov’s aspiration for literal translation is put in contrast with «intentional freedom» of Pasternak’s «Hamlet». It is noted that Nabokov’s translation is much closer to the English text in terms of semantic content but nonetheless lacks idiomatic «naturalness» of Pasternak’s translation.
CATEGORY OF EXTREME IN LINGUISTIC RUSSIAN STUDIES: ANALYTICAL REVIEW
Authors: Klyushina Alena M.
Published: June 2022

There are no scientific papers devoted to the special research of the functional-semantic category of extreme in Russian linguistic studies, it is only mentioned in passing in some scientific works. This article presents an analytical review of the study of the semantics of extreme in Russian linguistics: for the first time, the author has revealed and systematized the points of view of linguists of the XX-XXI centuries on the problem of the existence of means of expressing the functional-semantic category of extreme, which is considered significant and relevant for the Russian mentality and Russian linguoculture. It is revealed that multilevel language units can transmit the semantics of extreme. The systematization of the obtained data leads the author to the conclusion that some particles, pronouns, conjunctions, phraseological units, as well as combinations of some lexical units are able to express the functional and semantic category of extreme.

Diazinon is an organophosphate pesticide often used by farmer. The residue of diazinon may contaminate agricultural products and if accidentally consumed in a long term, may potentially led to health problems such as kidney disorders. Shallot (Allium cepa) peel was recently proposed to help recover the kidney damage due to its high flavonoid antioxidant content. This study aims to determine the antioxidant effect of shallot peel extract in reducing oxidative stress caused by diazinon with malondialdehyde (MDA) level indicator on the kidney of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). This research was a true experimental with an in-vivo posttest-only control group design. The 28 rats were divided using a simple random sampling technique. The groups were the control group (K0), the diazinon group (K1), SPEE (Shallot Peel Ethanol Extract) groups which are P1 (300 mg/kg BW), P2 (600 mg/kg BW), P3 (900 mg/kg BW), P4 (1200 mg/kg BW) and P5 (2400 mg/kg BW). At the end of the study, the MDA kidney levels was analysed using the TBARS method. Effective doses were found in 600 mg/kg BW/day, 900 mg/kg BW/day, 1200 mg/kg BW/day, and 2400 mg/kg BW/day. The optimal dose of shallot peel extract in this study was 600 mg/kg BW/day. This study showed the effectiveness of shallot peel extract in reducing kidney MDA levels in diazinon-induced Wistar rats.

Published: June 2022

On the basis of a new model of chemical dissolution, an analysis of the kinetic parameters obtained using the modified V.V. Dolivo-Dobrovolsky equation was carried out. It shows that the change in parameters during the transition from one mineral to another is subject to a compensation effect. Additionally, calculations based on the new dissolution model made it possible to distinguish between the systemic and individual properties of minerals of the same nature in the process of dissolution. These minerals differ from each other by the concentration of ac tive surface complexes, and are combined into a system by a single transmission coefficient and the same value of the lifetime of the active complex.

Spectrum Sensing Using Cooperative Matched Filter Detector in Cognitive Radio
Authors: Ayoub Zozan , Khalil Ghaith , Aziz Ayoob
Published: June 2022

The vast rise in the number of Internet-connected devices necessitates a more accessible spectrum. As a result, Cognitive Radio was already proposed as a solution to the problem of restricted spectrum resources by utilizing available spectrum which is assigned to primary users. This method allows the secondary user to utilize the spectrum whenever the primary user is not using it, and it does so without intruding with the primary user. Whenever the secondary user detects the spectrum, it faced some issues, such as complexity in sensing leading to a lack of noise value, and the primary user is hidden to all secondary users. In order to tackle these challenges, an adaptive threshold matched filter detector and a cooperative matched filter detector are utilized in this paper to detect the spectrum. The probability of detection (Pd), probability of miss detection (Pm), and probability of false alarm (Pf) are the metrics used to assess sensing accuracy. To simulate suggested detectors, the MATLAB R2020a software was utilized. In comparison to earlier studies, the simulation conclusions reveal that the detection process starts with lower SNR values.

Emerging RNA virus infections are a growing concern among domestic bird and poultry industries due to the severe impact it can have on the flock health and economic livelihoods. Avian paramyxoviruses (APMV) are pathogenic, negative sense RNA viruses that cause serious infections in the respiratory and central nervous system. APMV was detected in multiple avian species during the 2017 migration season in Ukraine, and studied using PCR, virus isolation, and sequencing. Of the 4090 wild bird samples, eleven swabs were isolated in chicken embryos and identified for APMV serotype by hemagglutinin inhibition test: APMV-1, APMV-4, APMV-6, APMV-7. At a variety of sites in Ukraine we characterized the virulence of the virus and further analyzed and predicted the potential risks of spillover to immunologically naïve populations. RNA was extracted and amplified using a multiplex-tiling primer approach to encompass full cDNA genomes. Full-length APMV-1 (n=5) and APMV-6 (n=2) genomes were sequenced on an Oxford Nanopore MinION device in Ukraine. All APMV-1 and APMV-6 fusion (F) proteins possessed a monobasic cleavage site, suggesting these APMV were likely low virulence, annually circulating strains. Utilization of this low-cost method will identify gaps in viral evolution and circulation in this understudied but important critical region for Eurasia.
A Novel Triple Radar Arrangement for Level 2 ADAS Detection System in Autonomous Vehicles
Authors: Enayati Javad , Asef Pedram , Jonnalagadda Yeshwanth
Published: June 2022

The main functions of the automated systems rely on the advanced sensors for detection and perception of the environment around the vehicle. Radars and cameras are commonly utilized to detect the potential obstacles and vehicles ahead on the road. Nevertheless, cameras can generate spurious detections in the extreme weather conditions such as fog, rain, dust, snow, dark, and heavy sunlight in the sky. Due to limitations in vertical field view of the radars, single radars are not reliable to detect the height of the targets precisely. In this paper, a triple radar arrangement (long-range, medium-range, and short-range radars) based on sensor fusion technique is proposed to detect objects with different size in level 2 Advanced Driver-Assistance (ADAS) system. The typical objects including truck, pedestrians, and animals are detected in different scenarios. The developed model considered ISO 26262 and ISO/PAS 21448 to reasonably address insufficient robustness and inability of the sensors. The models of sensor and level 2 ADAS systems are developed using MATLAB toolbox and Simulink. Sensor detection performance is determined by running simulations with triple radar setup. Obtained results demonstrate that the proposed approach generates accurate detections of targets in all tested scenarios.

Running at odds with the timing imposed by the circadian clock plays an important role in the process that leads to communicable and non communicable diseases. The primary objective of this study was to analyse whether early dinner eater children were at lower risks of acute respiratory infections than late dinner eater children, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted from July to December 2020 on children attending Majorcan emergency services. Clinical data collected included timing, symptoms, laboratory tests and imaging studies of current illness. Each diagnosis was validated by general paediatricians. Our survey on dinner time habits was carried out by using self-administered questionnaires. Results: A total of 669 children under age 18 were included in the study. The median of dinner time was 8:30 pm. Late dinner eaters accounted for a higher proportion of acute otitis media than early dinner eaters (7% vs 3%; P=0.028). Other infectious diseases were not associated with dinner time habits. Conclusions: We make a preliminary estimate of the link between late dinner habits and acute otitis media in children. However, no conclusions about causality can be established due to the observational design of the study.
The adapted Autonomic Profile (aAP) Home-Based Test for the Evaluation of Neuro-Cardiovascular Autonomic Dysfunction
Authors: Sivan Manoj , Corrado Joanna , Mathias Christopher
Published: June 2022

Autonomic dysfunction is an increasingly recognised complication in chronic neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease , and other medical conditions, including diabetes mellitus, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and recently Long Covid. Despite laboratory-based tests to evaluate normal and abnormal autonomic function, there are no home-based tests to record neuro-cardiovascular autonomic responses to common stimuli in daily life that are dependent on the normal functioning of the autonomic nervous system. We have developed an adapted blood pressure/heart Autonomic Profile (aAP) that can be used by an individual independently and repeatedly in a domiciliary setting to determine the physiological and symptomatic response to standing, food, and physical and mental (cognitive, emotional) activities. The aAP aids separating autonomic failure (often irreversible) from autonomic dysfunction. This helps the individual and attending healthcare professional understand the relationship between symptoms and common triggers in daily life, and informs on self-management in debilitating conditions such as the postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) and Long Covid.
Strengthening the Role of Peer Counselors for Reproductive Health among Adolescent: From Philosophy into Practice
Authors: Harini Ririn
Published: June 2022

The serious impact of Adolescent’s Free Sex Behavior will affect their developmental task. Having proper education and having optimal sex counseling are related to sexual behavior in adolescents. The alternative for this phenomenon recently has involved adolescents participating as peer counselors because they are more susceptible to peer influence. Online peer counselor programs may promote progression into depth understanding of sexual behavior among adolescents. This paper provides an overview of the effect of peer counselors on reproductive health among adolescents. It describes many conceptual frameworks about free sex behaviors, risk factors among adolescents, and the role of peer counselors in improving health reproductive behavior among adolescents.
Prevalence of CAH-X Syndrome in Italian Patients with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) Due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency

21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD), the most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), is associated with pathogenic variants in CYP21A2 gene. The clinical form of the disease ranges from classic or severe to non-classic (NC) or mild late onset. The CYP21A2 gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 6, within the RCCX region, one of the most complex loci in the human genome. The 3’untranslated sequence of CYP21A2 exon 10 overlap the last exon of TNXB gene (these genes lie on the opposite strands of DNA and have the opposite transcriptional direction) that encodes an extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascin-X (TNX). A recombination event between TNXB and its pseudogene TNXA causes a 30-kb deletion producing a chimeric TNXA/TNXB gene (CAH-X chimera) where both CYP21A2 and TNXB genes are impaired. This genetic condition characterizes a subset of patients with 21OHD who display the hypermobility phenotype of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) (CAH-X Syndrome). The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of CAH-X syndrome in an Italian cohort of patients with 21OHD. At this purpose, 196 probands were recruited. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and Sanger sequencing were used to identify the CAH-X genotype. Twenty-one individuals showed the heterozygous continuous deletion involving the CYP21A2 and part of the TNXB gene. EDS-related clinical manifestations were identified in most patients carrying the CAH-X chimera. A CAH-X prevalence of 10.7% was estimated in our population.
Accuracy Testing of ETo Calculator (Ukraine) App: A Comparison Between Penman-Monteith and Temperature-Based Reference Evapotranspiration Assessment Methods
Authors: Lykhovyd Pavlo
Published: June 2022

Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is a key agrometeorological index for rational irrigation management. The standard method for ETo estimation, proposed by FAO, is based on a complicated Penman-Monteith equation, requires great number of meteorological inputs thus making it difficult for practical use by farmers. To the moment, there are many alternative simplified approaches for ETo estimation, most of them are directed to cutting the number of required meteorological inputs for calculation. Among them, special attention should be paid to various temperature-based methods of ETo assessment. One of the temperature-based models for ETo computation was realized in free mobile app ETo Calculator (Ukraine). The app gives Ukrainian farmers an opportunity to assess ETo values on daily or monthly scale using mean air temperature as the only input. The goal of the study was to test the app accuracy comparing to FAO-based calculations in five key regions of Ukraine, each of which representing a particular climatic zone of the country. It was established that the app provides relatively good accuracy of ETo estimation even in raw (not adjusted to windspeed and relative air humidity) run; the results of statistical comparison with the FAO-calculated values are: R2 within 0.82-0.87, RMSE within 0.74-0.81 mm, MAE within 0.60-0.70, MAPE within 18.07-25.50% depending on the region. ETo Calculator (Ukraine) is a good alternative for complicated Penman-Monteith method and could be recommended for Ukrainian farmers to be used for irrigation management.

Commuting Analysis of the Budapest Metropolitan Area using Mobile Network Data
Authors: Pintér Gergő , Felde Imre
Published: June 2022

The analysis of the human movement patterns based on the mobile network data makes it possible to examine a very large population cost-effectively, and led to several discoveries about human dynamics. However, the application of this data source is still not common practice.
The goal of this study was to analyze the commuting tendencies of the Budapest Metropolitan Area using mobile network data and propose an automatized alternative to the current, questionnaire-based method. Commuting is predominantly analyzed by the census, but that is performed only once in a decade in Hungary.
To analyze commuting, the home and the work locations of the subscribers are determined based on their appearances during and outside the working hours. The home locations were compared to census data at a settlement level. Then, the settlement and district level commuting tendencies were identified and compared to the findings of census-based sociological studies.
It has been found that commuting analysis based on mobile network data strongly correlates with the census-based findings, even though home and work locations have been estimated by statistical methods.
All the examined aspects, including commuting from sectors of the agglomeration to the districts of Budapest and demographic distribution of the commuters, show that mobile network data can be an automatized, fast, cost-effective, and relatively accurate way of commuting analysis, that could provide a powerful tool to the sociologists interested in commuting.
MaxEnt: Selection at the Heart of Quantum Mechanics
Authors: Crecraft Harrison
Published: June 2022

The thermocontextual interpretation (TCI) defines the physical state with respect to a system’s actual surroundings at a positive ambient temperature. The TCI provides a clear distinction between the Second Law of thermodynamics and MaxEnt. The Second Law dictates irreversible dissipation of free energy to ambient heat, and it establishes the thermodynamic arrow of time. MaxEnt describes reversible changes in statistical mechanical entropy in response to changes in the system’s boundary constraints. We introduce new TCI postulates that establish the equality of thermal and statistical entropies and MaxEnt as a fundamental physical principle. We then apply MaxEnt to the double-slit experiment. Impacts of multiple particles symmetrically passing through parallel slits record a wave interference pattern over time. However, a which-slit detector eliminates wave interference. Richard Feynman called the double slit experiment the only mystery, at the heart of quantum mechanics. The TCI and MaxEnt offer a simple explanation. The which-slit detector breaks the system’s symmetry, and MaxEnt selects the higher-entropy asymmetrical state, enabling particles to pass through one slit or the other without wave interference.
