A STORY WITHIN A STORY: THE CONSTRUCTION OF HEROIC IDENTITY IN THE NOVEL WATERSHIP DOWN BY RICHARD ADAMS
Authors:   University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Serbia, Mihailović Miloš D.
Published: May 2024

Within comparative mythology, the study of the trickster, a figure found in many cultures around the globe, began in the mid-fifties of the last century. In this paper, we deal with the trickster myth incorporated in the novel Watership Dawn by Richard Adams, in which the legendary rabbit chief El-ahreirah is a role model for a group of rabbits in search of a new warren. El-ahreirah is based on existing mythological patterns and is a central part of the so-called Lapine culture (that is, the stories, customs and language of the rabbits that Adams invented for his novel). A cycle of five stories about the rabbit trickster is connected with the frame story, so that a parallelism is established between the two groups of characters: Hazel with his people and El-ahreirah with his. Hazel and his comrades are true to their heritage and therefore succeed in the mission of establishing a new warren (Watership Down), while facing antagonistic groups: the rabbits of the Cowslip’s Warren and the rabbits of Efrafa. Woundwort, as a main antagonist and the cultural hero of the Efrafa warren, represents a figure directly opposed to El-ahreirah, and the end of the novel, in which the general enters the myth, tells us that this conflict has only just begun.

Authors: Santander Jennifer Santiago , Lira Brenda Ponce , Arteaga Karina Aguilar , Camarillo Juan Pablo Pérez
Published: May 2024

The study examines alkaline and sodic soils, characterized by a pH exceeding 7.5 and elevated exchangeable sodium, indicative of deficiencies in nitrogen, manganese, iron, zinc, and copper in crops. Its objective is to characterize agricultural soils under traditional and conventional systems using physical and chemical parameters to advocate for regenerative agriculture. Sampling and analysis adhere to Nom-021-RECNAT-2000 standards. Predominantly, the soils exhibit clay loam and sandy loam textures across Tula de Allende, Tezontepec de Aldama, Francisco I. Madero, and San Salvador municipalities. Organic matter percentages vary, classified as very high (Tula de Allende and San Salvador), high (Tezontepec de Aldama, Mixquiahuala de Juárez, and Francisco I. Madero), and low (Santiago de Anaya). The pH ranges from moderately alcaline to highly alkaline. Cation exchange capacity in irrigation zones varies from very high to high, and medium for Tezontepec and Santiago de Anaya, which rely on rainfed irrigation. Elevated nitrate (NO3-), phosphorus (H2PO4-), and potassium (K+) concentrations are noted across different municipalities. These findings prompt reconsideration of traditional tillage practices that exacerbate sodicity in agricultural soil.
NEON KİTİON GAZETESİNE GÖRE 1878 KIBRIS KONVANSİYONU VE KIBRIS RUM TOPLUMU ÜZERİNDEKİ YANSIMALARI
Authors: Erman Arzu
Published: May 2024

16. yüzyılda Türk egemenliğine giren Kıbrıs adası, 1877-78 savaşında Osmanlı Devleti’nin Rusya’ya yenilmesinin ardından İngiltere ile yapmış olduğu bir savunma antlaşmasının ön koşulu olarak geçici surette İngiltere’ye bırakılmıştır. Osmanlı Devleti’nin egemenliği altında kaldığı sürede pek çok defa yönetim şeklinde değişikliğe gittiği Kıbrıs’ta 1878 senesinde İngiliz idaresi altında yeni bir yönetim ihdas edilmiştir. Uzun süreli Osmanlı yönetimi sonrası oluşan bu yeni dönemin Kıbrıs’ta çok yönlü yansımaları olmuştur. Nüfusunun önemli bir kısmını oluşturan Rumlar, adada İngiliz yönetiminin başlamasını kendi idealleri adına önemli bir fırsat olarak değerlendirmişlerdir. Kıbrıslı Rumların, İngiltere’den, adanın Yunanistan ile birleşmesi, özerk ya da bağımsız bir devlet olması gibi siyasi beklentilerinin yanı sıra bu süper gücün adanın ekonomik gelişmesine katkı sağlamasını ümit etmişlerdir. Bu nedenle dönemin en liberal devleti olarak gördükleri İngiltere’nin Kıbrıs’ta kuracağı yeni düzende nüfus çoğunluklarının verdiği avantajı kullanarak Rumlar lehine birtakım haklar ve ayrıcalıklar talep etmişlerdir. Ancak adanın statüsünün belirsizliği ve Osmanlı Devleti’ne iade edilebileceği ihtimali adadaki Rumları, talepleri konusunda dikkatli olmaya sevk etmiştir. Kıbrıs’taki İngiliz yönetiminin ada için yapmış olduğu reformlar Rum toplumunun beklentilerinin altında kalmış olsa da Osmanlı yönetimine nazaran İngiliz yönetimini tercih ederek her fırsatta onlardan birtakım haklar ve ayrıcalıklar elde etmenin yollarını aramışlardır. Neon Kition gazetesi Kıbrıslı Rumların adada kamuoyu oluşturmak ve taleplerini dile getirmek için kullandıkları önemli bir araç olmuştur.
İKİNCİ DÜNYA SAVAŞI YILLARINDA SAĞ VE SOL CENAHTA MİLLİYETÇİLİK VE HÜMANİZM ANLAYIŞI: TÜRK YURDU DERGİSİ İLE YURT VE DÜNYA DERGİSİ EKSENİNDE BİR KARŞILAŞTIRMA
Authors: Seyhan Özlem
Published: May 2024

II. Dünya Savaşı yıllarında dünyayı meşgul eden faşizm ve sosyalizm gibi ideolojilerin yükselişe geçmesiyle birlikte ırkçılık, milliyetçilik ve hümanizm tartışmaları Türkiye'de entelektüel bir zeminde irdelenmeye başlanmıştır. Türkiye’yi ve dünyayı yakından ilgilendiren bu meseleler farklı dünya görüşüne sahip aydınlar tarafından kimi zaman şiddetle reddedilirken kimi zaman da sempati ile karşılanmıştır. Bu bağlamda Türk Yurdu dergisi milliyetçiliği savunmuş, Yurt ve Dünya dergisi ise hümanizm ve kültürel evrimi desteklemiştir. Bu dergilerin görüşleri ülkenin solcu ve sağcı olarak nitelendirilen iki ayrı kutbunu temsil etmiştir. Her iki dergi de özellikle ırkçılık, milliyetçilik ve insaniyetçiliğe dair kendi görüşlerini açıklayarak diğerinin Türk milleti için ne denli tehlikeli fikirler benimsediğini kanıtlamaya çalışmıştır. Öte yandan hemen her konuda zıt fikirlere sahip gibi görünen yazarlar memleketin kalkınması, medeni bir seviyeye ulaşması ve uluslararası camiada etkinlik kazanmanın gerekliliği gibi pek çok konuda birleşmişlerdir. Bu bağlamda Türkiye’deki iki farklı kutbun II. Dünya Savaşı yıllarının getirdiği konjonktür içerisinde milletlerin geleceğine olan bakışı oldukça dikkate değerdir.

Published: May 2024

Hukukun temel ilkeleri kadınların toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı yaşamlarıyla çeliştiğinde, kadınların deneyimlerini dikkate alarak yapılan yasal reformların kadının toplumsal statüsü açısından büyük önem arz ettiği açıktır. Bu çalışmada öncelikle Türkiye’deki kadın hareketlerinin gelişimine kısaca değinilmekte ve Türkiye’de CEDAW’ın kabul edilmesinden sonra hızlanan ve özellikle 2000’ler sonrasında sonuç vermeye başlayan mevzuat değişiklikleri toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği olgusu temelinde incelenmektedir. Hukuk mevzuatında kadınlarla ilgili düzenlemeler hukuk ve kadın çalışmaları alanında özel bir ilgi alanı olmuş ve yapılan değişiklikler ayrı ayrı incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı 2000-2023 yılları arasındaki dönemde yenilenen ve değiştirilen mevzuatı birbirileri ile ilişkileri bağlamında topyekûn bir analize tabi tutup toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği açısından Türk hukuk mevzuatının ruhunu tanımlamaktır. Araştırmanın temel sorusu Türk hukuk mevzuatında kadının birey olarak toplumsal hayattaki ve geleneksel olarak toplumsal yapıda büyük önem atfedilen aile içindeki eş veya anne olarak rolleri arasında nasıl bir ilişki kurulduğudur. Mevzuat değişikliklerinin ne kadar etkili olduğuna ilişkin bir kaynak olarak ve kadının toplumsal konumundaki değişimini görebilmek açısından istatistiksel veriler değerlendirilmiştir.
İSMAİL CEM: A UNIQUE IMPRINT IN TURKISH FOREIGN POLICY
Authors: Atmaca Ayşe Ömür
Published: May 2024

The 1990s marked a significant turning point in international politics and Turkish foreign policy. İsmail Cem served as Türkiye's longest-serving foreign minister from 1997 to 2002 during this period of great change and transformation. Cem's historical perspective and realistic approach, which was peaceful but also based on interests, stood out from the first day he took office. He aimed to change the static structure of traditional Turkish foreign policy. During this period, İsmail Cem's vision shaped Türkiye's relations with its neighbours and allies, and this multidimensional foreign policy approach became a key motivation for Türkiye's post-Cold War foreign policy. This study will examine the foreign policy dynamics during İsmail Cem's tenure and his intellectual influence on Turkish foreign policy. It is argued that Cem aimed to create a multidimensional and realistic understanding of foreign policy, but his vision of Turkey's post-Cold War geopolitical posture differed from other visions, such as “neo-Ottomanism” or “Eurasianism”, which excluded the West.
İSVİÇRELİ CASUS JEAN CHEVRIER VE ROCHEFORT PROJESİ HAKKINDAKİ RAPORU
Authors: Gürer Ahmet Şamil
Published: May 2024

Bu makale 18. yüzyılda Galata’da yaşamış olan Jean Chevrier adlı bir Levanten’in casusluk faaliyetlerinden bir kesit sunmaktadır. Bizzat kendisi tarafından kaleme alınarak dönemin Avusturya elçisine sunmuş olduğu bir istihbarat raporu ile dönemin İstanbul’daki Fransız elçisinin bir diplomatik raporu çalışmanın ana kaynakları arasındadır. Jean Chevrier İstanbul’da saatçilikle uğraşan bir Cenevreli Protestan cemaatinin üyelerinden biriydi. Zamanla Alexandre Bonneval’in Galata’daki (Humbaracı Ahmed Paşa) yakın çevresinde yer almıştır. Muhtemelen bu ilişkisi ona Napoli Krallığı’nın İstanbul elçiliğinde elde edeceği önemli mevkinin yolunu açmıştır. Ancak, ticari işlerinin bozulması yüzünden büyük bir borca girmiş olduğundan para karşılığında Avusturya elçisi Penkler’e Bonneval Paşa’nın Avusturya karşıtı faaliyetleri hakkında bilgi aktarmıştır. Berkes’in Türkiye’de Çağdaşlaşma adlı eserinde hatalı olarak Chenier olarak zikredilen bu kişi Lale Devri’nin başlarında Nevşehirli Damat İbrahim Paşa’ya sunulmuş olan Rochefort projesinden bahseden raporun yazarıdır. Bir Protestan Fransız subayı olan Yüzbaşı Rochefort üyesi bulunduğu Huguenot cemaatine Osmanlı topraklarına iltica izni verilmesi karşılığında Babıâli’ye askeri ve teknik konularda hizmet vaadetmiş, ancak dönemin Fransız elçisinin müdahalesi ile proje gerçekleşmemiştir. Chevrier’nin raporu bu projeyi ayrıntılı olarak zikretmekle birlikte esas olarak, 1745 yılında gündemde bulunduğu anlaşılan yeni bir Protestan ilticası girişimini engelleme meselesi üzerinde durmaktadır.

Published: May 2024

Voice is one of the most common and natural communication methods for humans. Voice is becoming the primary interface for AI voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, as well as in autos and smart home devices. Homes and so on. As human-machine communication becomes more common, researchers are exploring technology that mimics genuine speech. Speech cloning is the practice of copying or mimicking another person's speech, usually utilizing modern technology and artificial intelligence (AI). This entails producing a synthetic or cloned version of someone's voice that sounds very similar to the actual speaker. The objective is to produce speech that is indistinguishable from the genuine person, both in tone and intonation. Instant Voice Cloning (IVC) in text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis refers to the TTS model's capacity to copy the voice of any reference speaker based on a short audio sample, without requiring extra speaker-specific training. This method is usually referred to as zero-shot TTS. IVC provides users with the flexibility to tailor the generated voice, offering significant value across diverse real-world applications. Examples include media content creation, personalized chatbots, and multi-modal interactions between humans and computers or extensive language models.

Authors:   School of engineering, University of Zambia, Costain Tembo , Edwin Luwaya ,   School of engineering, University of Zambia
Published: May 2024

Studies have linked the use of wood fuel to deforestation leading to greenhouse gas emissions which cause climate change. Despite these concerns, some institutions located in the rural areas of Zambia like boarding schools and colleges still use firewood as a fuel for cooking and heating. Additionally, electricity, where available, is usually based on fossil fuel combustion, and often has high tariffs if connected to the national electricity grid and is also unreliable. On the other hand, biogas produced from animal and other organic wastes has demonstrated to be a cleaner alternative source of energy that can be used for cooking and supply of heat. A case of Nkumbi international college was selected to consider the economic viability of using the animal and agriculture waste from the institutional farm as a feedstock in an anaerobic co-digester to generate biogas for use as fuel for cooking to replace firewood and grid electricity, the current sources of energy for cooking. Results showed that installing a biogas system at the college and using the biogas to replace a combination of firewood and electricity is highly viable with a positive net present value of USD 19,747, a payback period of 3.1 years, and an internal rate of return of 35.5% over a period of 20 years.

Authors: Pradeep R  , Sobiya S  , Nukala Kavya  , Vuddanti Keshuvardhan
Published: May 2024

This work will implement an automated fault detection and monitoring system for streetlights in smart cities. The system will use smart streetlights with sensors, communication modules, and intelligent controllers to create a sensor network across the city. These sensors, like light intensity, motion, and temperature sensors, will collect real-time data on the status of street lights and the environment. The data will be analyzed by a centralized monitoring system that will use algorithms to detect abnormalities in the sensor data that may indicate faults or malfunctions in the street lighting infrastructure. GPS tracking technology will be used to pinpoint the location of each street light. An automated alert system will notify maintenance teams and city officials through a webpage if a fault is detected. The system will also use historical data to anticipate potential issues before they arise.The benefits of this system include improved energy efficiency, cost savings through timely maintenance, quick response times for fault resolution, and data-driven decisionmaking for urban planning. It will provide real-time information on the status of street lights and their environment, which can be used to optimize energy consumption and reduce costs. The system will also enable city officials to make data-driven decisions for urban planning. Ultimately, this system will help to create smarter and more sustainable cities by enhancing public safety, optimizing energy consumption, and ensuring the reliability of street lighting infrastructure. The system will provide a more efficient and costeffective approach to street lighting maintenance, leading to better services for citizens.

Authors: Aditi Priyadarshini  , Kumar Nikhil  , R.K. Mishra  , K. P. Tiwary
Published: May 2024

CdS/CdTe based photovoltaic cell has shown the markable efficiency. The CdS/CdTe nanoparticles are being synthesized and deposited on the ITO glass plate. ITO glass has a large bandgap of about approximately 3.6 eV and is suitable to use in the fabrication of photovoltaic cell. As ITO behaves as negative terminal, it is used as front layer for capturing the light intensity. During fabrication of photovoltaic cell, the deposition of Cadmium sulphide and Cadmium telluride nanoparticles layer was done by brush painting technique. The CdS layer is used as window layer and CdTe acts as absorbing layer. The window layer’s primary function is to absorb light particularly in the visible region of the spectrum to generate electricity. The CdS layer forms p-n junction with the CdTe layer. The nanoparticles of CdS and CdTe have been synthesized first and optical characterization was carried out using UV-visible spectroscopy to obtain bandgap of CdTe and CdS. Structural characterization was being obtained by XRD. The size of the nanocrystallites of CdS and CdTe have been obtained by Debye Scherrer equation and the result was 1.64 nm and 4.09 nm respectively. The CdTe layer which was used as absorbing layer consists of high optical absorption coefficient with high mobility, good carrier lifetime and an enhanced properties of crystallographic. Silver paste was used as a back contact for good conduction.

Authors: Mwangi-Thungu Jane Wamaitha , Ngugi Patrick , Mugambi Allan
Published: May 2024

The form, structure, and manner of mentorship engagement in industry and colleges have been presented in some literature as discreet, disparate, and sometimes ad hoc events. This paper sought to establish the dominant form, structure, and coherent approach to mentorship that would form the basis for adoption, with appropriate adaptation, for entrepreneurship training in tertiary colleges in Kenya. Specifically, this study sought to delineate specific functions of mentorship in the instruction of entrepreneurship students; examine the nature of engagement of mentor and mentee in the mentoring relationship within an instructional setting; and explore the relationship between mentorship and graduate entrepreneurship student business outcomes. The study was based on a desk review of literature covering key publications on mentoring and articles published in the last 40 years and available at libraries, the internet, and databases. The review has identified functions, forms and models, settings, resources, accountability structures, and outcomes that would persuade colleges in Kenya to adopt and modify to suit their specific situations to achieve effective mentorship results.

Published: May 2024

Sastera lisan merupakan warisan dan identiti bangsa Melayu yang mesti dibanggakan kerana merupakan lambang kebijaksanaan masyarakat terdahulu. Tidak banyak generasi muda yang mahu mempertahankan warisan ini, sehingga akhirnya hilang ditelan zaman. Sebagai sastera lisan, Awang Batil amat wajar dipertahankan kerana ia bukan sekadar hiburan, tetapi elemen kebijaksanaan yang terangkum dalam persembahannya perlu ditafsirkan. Sehubungan dengan itu, kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti dan membincangkan elemen kebijaksanaan dan kecerdasan dalam persembahan Awang Batil. Metode utama kajian ini ialah lapangan menerusi teknik rakaman, wawancara, dan catatan langsung. Kebijaksanaan dan kecerdasan persembahan Awang Batil diteliti berdasarkan dua perspektif, iaitu kecerdasan linguistik dan kecerdasan muzik. Kecerdasan linguistik membincangkan pengucapan beradab, kebolehan berbahasa, dan kebolehan mengingat, manakala kecerdasan muzik pula dilihat dari dua aspek, iaitu alat muzik dan puisi. Analisis membuktikan persembahan Awang Batil menyerlahkan kebijaksanaan dan kecerdasan seseorang penglipur lara sebagaimana yang digariskan menerusi Teori Kecerdasan Pelbagai (Mutiple Intelligences Theory). Terbukti bahawa Awang Batil bukan sekadar ‘penghibur kampung’, tetapi naratif lisan ini telah berjaya menawan masyarakat global dengan mengadakan banyak persembahan di luar negara. Diharapkan kajian-kajian tentang Awang Batil wajar diperbanyak agar dapat menjadi rujukan generasi baharu.

Authors: Md Din Nurul Asmaa Akmal , Awang Pawi Awang Azman , Mohd Hussain Rosila Bee
Published: May 2024

Pandangan masyarakat dunia kelas ketiga terhadap janitor sangat rendah. Hal ini disebabkan oleh masyarakat berpandangan bahawa janitor atau sektor pembersihan merupakan salah satu sektor pekerjaan yang rendah dan tidak mempunyai kelayakan pendidikan. Tahap pendidikan yang rendah dalam kalangan janitor telah memberikan kesan kepada isu seperti pembayaran gaji, hak pekerja dan juga layanan kepada janitor. Kajian ini menganalisis masalah yang dihadapi oleh janitor dalam sektor pembersihan dan strategi yang digunakan oleh janitor dalam mengatasi isu-isu tersebut. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif ke atas tiga kumpulan utama yang terlibat dalam sektor pembersihan, iaitu janitor, syarikat dan juga pelanggan yang menggunakan perkhidmatan janitor. Masalah yang dihadapi oleh janitor dan strategi yang digunakan oleh janitor untuk membantu karier ini diperhatikan melalui temu bual mendalam dan pemerhatian ke premis pekerjaan dan juga syarikat-syarikat yang membekalkan janitor kepada pelanggan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa wujud stigma terhadap kalangan janitor yang melakukan kerja domestik yang dianggap mudah dan dapat dilakukan oleh semua orang. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahawa pelaksanaan kelas kemahiran dan pemberian sijil pendidikan mengikut taraf pendidikan janitor seperti Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia dapat membantu janitor untuk mendapat gaji yang berpadanan serta hak pekerja yang lain. Implikasi kajian ini ialah pemantapan kemahiran dan tahap pendidikan dalam kalangan janitor perlu dilaksanakan untuk membantu kumpulan janitor yang tertindas. Kajian lanjutan perlu dibuat dengan merancang pelan dasar polisi yang dapat membantu kumpulan janitor ini mendapat hak yang setimpal setaraf dengan kerjaya yang lain untuk merealisasikan matlamat pembangunan mampan negara.

Leveraging Face Recognition Technology for Secure ATM Transaction
Authors: Mehfooz Ur Rehman  , H Jayamangala
Published: May 2024

ATM or Automated Teller Machines are widely used by people nowadays. Performing cash withdrawal transactions with ATMs is increasing day by day. ATMs are a very important device throughout the world. The existing conventional ATM is vulnerable to crimes because of the rapid technology development. A total of 270,000 reports have been reported regarding debit card fraud and this was the most reported form of identity theft in 2021. A secure and efficient ATM is needed to increase the overall experience, usability, and convenience of the transaction at the ATM. In today's world, the area of computer vision is advancing at a breakneck pace. The recent progress in biometric identification techniques, including fingerprinting, retina scanning, and facial recognition has made a great effort to rescue the unsafe situation at the ATM. Specifically, the goal of this project is to give a computer vision method to solve the security risk associated with accessing ATM machines. This project proposes an automatic teller machine security model that uses electronic facial recognition using Deep Convolutional Neural Network. If this technology becomes widely used, faces would be protected as well as their accounts. Face Verification Clickbait Link will be generated and sent to bank account holders to verify the identity of unauthorized users through some dedicated artificial intelligent agents, for remote certification. However, it is obvious that man’s biometric features cannot be replicated, this proposal will go a long way to solve the problem of account safety making it possible for the actual account owner alone to have access to his accounts. This eliminates the possibility of fraud resulting from ATM card theft and copying. The experimental results on real-time datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approach over state-of-the-art deep learning techniques in terms of both learning efficiency and matching accuracy

This study analysed the impact of employees’ organisational justice perception (OJP) on their engagement in organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) within tertiary educational institutions in Ghana. Furthermore, the study investigated the mediating effect of employee happiness on the relationship between OJP and OCB among employees in tertiary educational institutions in Ghana. A total of 394 respondents from 27 tertiary institutions in Ghana participated in the survey through the administration of questionnaires. The study employed Structural Equation Modelling to examine the hypothesised relationships and Andrews Hayes’ Process Model was utilised for mediation analysis. The results indicated that the level of employee happiness in the workplace is a substantial and positive indicator of OCB and served as a full mediator in the link between OJP and OCB. The study recommended that the management of tertiary educational institutions and human resource management practitioners should develop evidence-based interventions aimed at boosting employee well-being and promoting positive perceptions of organisational justice.

The issues of studying the influence of creative industries at the national level and the global economy as a whole are gaining more and more popularity due to their active positive impact on the economic development of countries. Based on the relative novelty of the appearance of this term in the scientific field, this topic is insufficiently developed and requires a comprehensive study. The purpose of the study is to analyze a sample set of evaluation criteria involved in the evaluation of national creative sectors of countries. The research methodology includes the application of universal general scientific research methods. A multidisciplinary approach prevails in the study. The scientific significance of the work consists in the identification, systematization and presentation of evaluation criteria used to identify the importance of creative industries in the economy of countries, practical - in the possibility of applying the conclusions obtained from the results of the study for a deeper subsequent study of creative industries and their impact on the economy of the world. In this study, an analysis of the current state of creative industries and management of their development was used, as well as various approaches to assessing the effectiveness of the creative sector within the city and country format. This study is the initial stage of developing the concept of managing the entrepreneurial potential of creative industry entities in order to form a decent competitive environment in the creative industries market in the future and to fulfill the requests of authors and owners of intellectual property created within the framework of a specific industry affiliation of the creative sector.

Abstract. The Multi-Compartment Hg (mercury) Modeling and Analysis Project (MCHgMAP) is an international multi-model research initiative intended to simulate and analyze the geospatial distributions and temporal trends of environmental Hg to inform the effectiveness evaluations of two multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs): the Minamata Convention on Mercury (MC) and Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP). This MCHgMAP overview paper presents its science objectives, background and rationale, experimental design (multi-model ensemble (MME) architecture, inputs and evaluation data, simulations and reporting framework), and methodologies for the evaluation and analysis of simulated environmental Hg levels. The primary goals of the project are to facilitate detection and attribution of recent (observed) and future (projected) spatial patterns and temporal trends of global environmental Hg levels, and identification of key knowledge gaps in Hg science and modeling to improve future effectiveness evaluation cycles of the MEAs. The current advances and challenges of Hg models, emission inventories, and observational data are examined, and an optimized multi-model experimental design is introduced for addressing the key policy questions of the MEAs. A common set of emissions, environmental conditions, and observation datasets are proposed (where possible) to enhance the MME comparability. A novel harmonized simulation approach between atmospheric, land, oceanic and multi-media models is developed to account for the short- and long-term changes in secondary Hg exchanges and to achieve mechanistic consistency of Hg levels across environmental matrices. A comprehensive set of model experiments is developed and prioritized to ensure a systematic analysis and participation of a variety of models from the scientific community.
Estimating Long-Term Annual Energy Production of a Large Offshore Wind Farm from Large-Eddy Simulations: Methods and Validation with a 10-Year Simulation

Published: May 2024

Abstract. Atmospheric large-eddy simulation (LES), a computational fluid-dynamics technique that resolves turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer, is increasingly used for wind resource assessment (WRA), by including wind turbine parametrizations and using external weather data as initial- and boundary conditions. The large computational costs of doing such a 'real-weather' LES, however, limits length of the simulation to ≤ 1 year; whereas long-term, multi-year, mean power production values are of high interest to many parties in the wind energy sector. To address this need, this work presents several methods to estimate long-term mean power production/annual energy production and wind from a ≤ 1 year LES run, by applying Bayes' theorem on short-term LES output and long-term ERA5 reanalysis data. A 10-year LES run of a hypothetical large offshore wind farm is performed in order to validate these 'long-term correction' methods, in three scenarios of increasing complexity. First, long-term correction of 365 consecutive days gives estimates of long-term mean power with a mean absolute error of 0.35 %, and 95th percentile of the absolute error within 0.8 % of the long-term mean, reducing the uncertainty by an order or magnitude. Second, in the scenario when the simulation period is not fixed, using several day selection techniques to select the simulation period can reduce the error further. Then, only around 200 days are needed to arrive at the same error values. The results indicate that long-term correction is insensitive to the particulars of the day selection methods, but that including a diverse set of days from different years and seasons is essential. Third, a method to also include wind observations in the long-term correction is presented and tested. This requires an additional 'free stream' LES run without active turbines, and gives estimates of long-term power and wind that are corrected for a potential LES bias. Although validation of this final approach is difficult in the employed modelling strategy, it gives valuable insights, and fits within the common WRA practice of combining models and observations. The presented techniques are based on physical arguments, computationally cheap, and simple to implement; and as such could be a useful extension to the diverse set of modelling, observational, and statistical techniques used in WRA.
Legal anomie in the sphere of alternative (out-of-court) dispute resolution
Authors: Lipinsky Dmitry
Published: May 2024

The study aims to identify the manifestations of legal anomie in the legal regulation of alternative conflict resolution in Russia’s legal system and, based on the analysis of regulation in foreign countries, to offer possible ways to minimize anomie manifestations. Dialectical, formal-legal and comparative-legal methods were used in the research process. The article considers the legal regulation of mediation in Russia in a comparative-legal aspect with foreign countries and analyzes the current legislation and practice of its implementation. The study also revealed anomalous manifestations at the institutional and other levels of Russia’s legal system. Declarative fixation of legal responsibility of mediators, as well as insufficiency of normative requirements to their professional level; absence of normative fixation of mandatory centralized bodies (associations) of mediators, which in turn generates insufficiency of corporate regulation of their activities. The study proposes to borrow foreign experience in the legal regulation of mediators’ certification. The study also makes proposals to improve the current legislation.
