Published: January 2023

Globalization was able to shift the values ​​of nationalism and culture in Indonesia so that students do not understand the Merti Desa tradition. There needs to be an instillation of love for local culture so that it remains sustainable which can be started from students at school. One way was to integrated local cultural wisdom values ​​in schools through the learning process. The value of character education from the Merti Desa ceremony was important to include in Civics learning in addition to increasing children's character values ​​as well as preserving local wisdom culture. This study used library research, namely a series of activities related to library data collection, reading, recording, and processing materials without going through the research field. The author places more emphasis on the power of data analysis and existing data sources by relying on concepts and theories to be interpreted in discussions. The values ​​of character education contained in the Merti Desa tradition included spiritual values, social attitudes, and manners. These values ​​include gratitude to God Almighty, obedience and adherence to what was taught in religion; reflects the attitude of working together to solve common problems and mutual cooperation; appreciate and respect others, and have insight that prioritizes public interests rather than personal interests. Students who have educational character values ​​could follow and interpret the Merti Desa tradition so that they could reintroduce the Merti Desa tradition to the general public and minimize the extinction of the local wisdom of this tradition.

Varying chiral ratio of pinic acid enantiomers above the Amazon rainforest

Published: January 2023

Abstract. Chiral chemodiversity plays a crucial role in biochemical processes such as insect and plant communication. However, the vast majority of organic aerosol studies do not distinguish between enantiomeric compounds in the particle phase. Here we report chirally specified measurements of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) at the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) at different altitudes during three measurement campaigns at different seasons. Analysis of filter samples by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has shown that the chiral ratio of pinic acid (C9H14O4) varies with increasing height above the canopy. A similar trend was recently observed for the gas-phase precursor α-pinene but more pronounced. Nevertheless, the measurements indicate that neither the oxidation of (+/−)-α-pinene nor the incorporation of the products into the particulate phase proceeds with stereo preference and that the chiral information of the precursor molecule is merely transferred to the low-volatility product. The observation of the weaker height gradient of the present enantiomers in the particle phase at the observation site can be explained by the significant differences in the atmospheric lifetimes of reactant and product. Therefore, it is suggested that the chiral ratio of pinic acid is mainly determined by large-scale emission processes of the two precursors, while meteorological, chemical, or physicochemical processes do not play a particular role. Characteristic emissions of the chiral aerosol precursors from different forest ecosystems, in some cases even with contributions from forest-related fauna, could thus provide large-scale information on the different contributions to biogenic secondary aerosols via the analytics of the chiral particle-bound degradation products.
Daytime along-valley winds in the Himalayas as simulated by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model
Authors: Mikkola Johannes , Sinclair Victoria A. , Bister Marja , Bianchi Federico
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Local along-valley winds in four major valleys on the southern slope of the Nepal Himalayas are studied by means of high-resolution meteorological modelling. The Weather Research and Forecasting model is run with a 1 km horizontal grid spacing covering a 4 d period in December 2014. Model evaluation against meteorological observations from three automatic weather stations in the Khumbu Valley (one of the four valleys) shows a good agreement between the modelled and observed daily cycle of the near-surface wind speed and direction. Well-defined daytime up-valley winds are found in all of the four valleys during this 4 d period. The night-time along-valley winds are weak in magnitude and flow mostly in the up-valley direction. Differences in the daytime up-valley winds are found between the valleys and their parts. As the valleys are under similar large-scale forcing, the differences are assumed to be due to differences in the valley topographies. Parts of the valleys with a steep valley floor inclination (2–5∘) are associated with weaker and shallower daytime up-valley winds compared with the parts that have nearly flat valley floors (<1∘). In the four valleys, the ridge heights also increase along the valley, meaning that the valley floor inclination does not necessarily lead to a reduction in the volume of the valley atmosphere. This way, the dominant driving mechanism of the along-valley winds, within the valleys, could shift from the valley volume effect to buoyant forcing due to the inclination. Two of the valleys have a 1 km high barrier in their entrances between the valley and the plain. Winds at the valley entrances of these two valleys are weaker compared with the open valley entrances. Strong and shallow winds, resembling down-slope winds, are found on the leeward slope of the barrier followed by weaker and deeper winds at the valley entrance, 20 km towards the valley from the barrier. Although the large-scale flow during the 4 d period was similar to the long-term climatology, the impact of different large-scale flows on the thermally driven winds was not considered. This topic could be addressed in the future by performing a longer simulation.
Observed changes in stratospheric circulation: decreasing lifetime of N2O, 2005–2021
Authors: Prather Michael J. , Froidevaux Lucien , Livesey Nathaniel J.
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Using Aura Microwave Limb Sounder satellite observations
of stratospheric nitrous oxide (N2O), ozone, and temperature from 2005
through 2021, we calculate the atmospheric lifetime of N2O to be
decreasing at a rate of −2.1 ± 1.2 %/decade. This decrease is occurring because the N2O abundances in the middle tropical stratosphere, where N2O is photochemically destroyed, are increasing at
a faster rate than the bulk N2O in the lower atmosphere. The cause
appears to be a more vigorous stratospheric circulation, which models
predict to be a result of climate change. If the observed trends in lifetime and implied emissions continue, then the change in N2O over the
21st century will be 27 % less than those projected with a fixed lifetime, and the impact on global warming and ozone depletion will be
proportionately lessened. Because global warming is caused in part by
N2O, this finding is an example of a negative climate–chemistry feedback.
DUACS DT2021 reprocessed altimetry improves sea level retrieval in the coastal band of the European Seas

Published: January 2023

Abstract. More than 29 years of altimeter data have been recently reprocessed by the multi satellite Data Unification and Altimeter Combination System (DUACS) and made available under the name of DT2021 processing through the Copernicus Marine Service (CMEMS) and the Copernicus Climate Change (C3S) Service. New standards have been applied and various geophysical correction parameters were updated compared to the previous release in order to improve the product quality. This paper describes the assessment of this new release through the comparison of both all satellites and two satellites products with external in situ tide gauge measurements in the coastal areas of the European Seas. The aim is to quantify the improvements on the previous DT2018 processing version on the retrieval of sea level in the coastal zone. The results confirmed that the new DT2021 processing version better solves the signal in the coastal band. Moreover, the all satellites dataset provided more accurate sea level measurements when comparing with tide gauges respect to the climatic two satellites dataset due to the better performance of the former for the assessment of higher than climatic frequency signals. On the opposite, we found the two satellite dataset the most suitable product for the assessment of long term sea level time series in the coastal zone due to its larger stability to the detriment of the all satellites dataset.
Implementation and sensitivity analysis of the Dam-Reservoir OPeration model (DROP v1.0) over Spain
Authors: Sadki Malak , Munier Simon , Boone Aaron , Ricci Sophie
Published: January 2023

Abstract. The prediction of water resource evolution is considered to be a major challenge for the coming century, particularly in the context of climate change and increasing demographic pressure. Water resources are directly linked to the continental water cycle, and the main processes modulating changes can be represented by global hydrological models. However, anthropogenic impacts on water resources, and in particular the effects of dams-reservoirs on river flows, are still poorly known and generally neglected in coupled land surface–river routing models. This paper presents a parameterized reservoir model, DROP (Dam-Reservoir OPeration), based on Hanasaki's scheme to compute monthly releases given inflows, water demands and the management purpose. With its significantly anthropized river basins, Spain has been chosen as a study case for which simulated outflows and water storage variations are evaluated against in situ observations over the period 1979–2014. Using a default configuration of the reservoir model, results reveal its positive contribution in representing the seasonal cycle of discharge and storage variation, specifically for large-storage capacity irrigation reservoirs. Based on a bounded version of the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) index, called C2M, the overall outflow representation is improved by 43 % in the median. For irrigation reservoirs, the improvement rate reaches 80 %.
A comprehensive sensitivity analysis of DROP model parameters was conducted based on the performance of C2M on outflows and volumes using the Sobol method. The results show that the most influential parameter is the threshold coefficient describing the demand-controlled release level. The analysis also reveals the parameters that need to be focused on in order to improve river flow or reservoir water storage modeling by highlighting the difference in the individual effects of the parameters and their interactions depending on whether one focuses on outflows or volume mean seasonal patterns.
The results of this generic reservoir scheme show promise for modeling present and future reservoir impacts on the continental hydrology within global land surface–river routing models.
Utilisation of probabilistic magnetotelluric modelling to constrain magnetic data inversion: proof-of-concept and field application
Authors: Giraud Jérémie , Seillé Hoël , Lindsay Mark D. , Visser Gerhard , Ogarko Vitaliy , Jessell Mark W.
Published: January 2023

Abstract. We propose, test and apply a methodology integrating 1D magnetotelluric (MT) and magnetic data inversion, with a focus on the characterisation of
the cover–basement interface. It consists of a cooperative inversion workflow relying on standalone inversion codes. Probabilistic information about
the presence of rock units is derived from MT and passed on to magnetic inversion through constraints combining structural constraints with
petrophysical prior information. First, we perform the 1D probabilistic inversion of MT data for all sites and recover the respective probabilities
of observing the cover–basement interface, which we interpolate to the rest of the study area. We then calculate the probabilities of observing the
different rock units and partition the model into domains defined by combinations of rock units with non-zero probabilities. Third, we combine these
domains with petrophysical information to apply spatially varying, disjoint interval bound constraints (DIBC) to least-squares magnetic data
inversion using the alternating direction method of multipliers (or ADMM). We demonstrate the proof-of-concept using a realistic synthetic model
reproducing features from the Mansfield area (Victoria, Australia) using a series of uncertainty indicators. We then apply the workflow to field
data from the prospective mining region of Cloncurry (Queensland, Australia). Results indicate that our integration methodology efficiently
leverages the complementarity between separate MT and magnetic data modelling approaches and can improve our capability to image the cover–basement
interface. In the field application case, our findings also suggest that the proposed workflow may be useful to refine existing geological
interpretations and to infer lateral variations within the basement.

Published: January 2023

In the backdrop of recent floods in Pakistan, this study focuses to identify the challenges faced in the aid distribution supply chain and envision best practices from Business Supply Chains for use across the relief projects. The argument is that relevant aspects of business supply chain can be applied for operational efficiency of relief supply chain. Using a mixed method approach, seven organizations based in Karachi were selected using purposive sampling method and data was collected using questionnaire having both open and closed ended questions. The quantitative data was analyzed using Microsoft excel and qualitative data was analyzed by thematic analysis. The findings of the study show that all the stakeholders agreed that coordination and collaboration in relief work can increase the effectiveness. The main challenges faced by them were inadequate financial resources, accessing the affected areas, duplication of the relief operation in same areas, as some of the areas got the attention of all relief actors while others got missed at a given time. The research suggests that by adapting CPFR model, Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment in the supply chain approach, combined effort and practices can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of relief work.
Semiotics of Gender Roles and Honour Killing in Pakistani Paintings
Authors: Riaz Mehvish
Published: January 2023

The study examines how gender is represented through visual signs in the paintings on honour killing, how social structures gain meaning on getting painted, how power dynamics work in the so-called traditional or patriarchal societies, and if and how these semiotic constructions represent, underrepresent, or misrepresent Pakistani context. The grammar of the visual design of 40 paintings on honour killing, painted by male and female Pakistani painters belonging to different areas of Pakistan, have been qualitatively studied in the light of the theoretical understanding of ideational, interpersonal, and textual metafunctions suggested by Kress and van Leeuwen (2006). The visual grammar of the paintings suggests that the women have been represented as helpless, outcaste, oppressed, and marginalized, while men have, indirectly through visual signs, been depicted as oppressors and perpetrators. On the ideational level, society has also been highlighted as extremely oppressive and debilitating. Interpersonal metafunction reveals social negligence towards honour killing and female victimhood, while the textual orientation of the paintings not only suggests social control over the female body and choices as the core issue, but also highlights the strict condemnation of female oppression and honour killing by the painters.
DOI-CODI atualista
Authors: Faria Daniel
Published: January 2023

Entre as várias ferramentas de que o sistema DOI-CODI dispunha para o controle social, o tempo foi uma das mais destacadas. Nesse artigo, o tempo é entendido, assim, como um instrumento de controle social. Tempo não no sentido abstrato, cronológico, mas sim como ritmo social. No caso em questão, o ritmo imposto pelo sistema DOI-CODI era, sobretudo, definido pela lógica do atualismo, com a produção permanente de informações, a reprodução automática de toda uma maquinaria burocrática e militar que visava agir rápida e intensamente sobre seus alvos, tendo, por isso, desdobramentos operacionais nas estratégias e táticas de combate ao inimigo interno. Nesse sentido, buscamos também desvendar como os instrumentos usados pelo DOI-CODI no combate à chamada subversão, tais como e principalmente a tortura sistemática, obedeciam a essa mesma lógica temporal. No final do artigo, consideramos que mesmo com o fim dos DOI-CODI essa lógica sobreviveu ao fim da Guerra Fria.
Reflections on the New Dimensions in Testimony Project

The New Dimensions in Testimony project integrates advanced filming and voice recognition techniques to present the possibility of interacting, in natural language, with the hologram of a Holocaust survivor who may no longer be alive. This article is an attempt to organize reflections around the initial estrangement caused by the contact with the holograms. For this, I mobilize notions such as of presence, broad present and presentism in order to think of holograms as a temporally non-belonging element, an excess of both past and present.
EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT LEG LOADINGS AT TAKE-OFF ON LANDING CHARACTERISTICS IN TWISTING SOMERSAULTS
Authors: Marinšek Miha , Čuk Ivan
Published: January 2023

The purpose of the study was to determine whether take-off asymmetry affects landing asymmetry. Eleven male gymnasts performed forward and backward somersaults with 1/2, 1/1, and 3/2 twists. The leading leg for each participant was defined according to the twisting direction. Ground reaction forces under each foot were measured with Parotec insoles. Absolute and relative measures of lateral asymmetry were used as dependent variables. Three-way ANOVA and a series of one-way ANOVAs were used to determine the main effects between take-off and landing. A series of paired t-tests with Bonferroni corrections were used to find differences between the leading and non-leading legs. Maximal ground reaction forces showed that the leading leg was set out to a higher load at take-off than the non-leading leg for twisting somersaults. There were no statistically significant differences found in the maximal ground reaction force between the legs at landings. Index of bilateral asymmetry indicated landings with negligible asymmetry. However, the maximal force differences between the legs in somersault 3/2 were higher when compared to other somersault variations. No evidence was found to affirm that the asymmetry at take-off affects asymmetry at landing in a twisting somersault. Presumably, gymnasts can take corrective measures during the aerial phase of the twisting somersault that effectively diminish the tilt of the body and enable gymnasts to prepare for the landing with small proportional asymmetry. Prudence is required as these proportions rise in the quantity of load with the height of the somersault.

Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate the competitive state anxiety and self-confidence on artistic gymnasts participating in the Greek national competition. 84 gymnasts, aged 9 – 11 years, completed the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2, one hour before the competition. The gymnasts, based on the total score they have received in all-around competition were divided into high and low performance, responded to the three subscales: Cognitive Anxiety, Somatic Anxiety, and Self-confidence. Results showed that there was significant difference in Self-confidence between high performance and low performance gymnasts. However, no significant differences were found in cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety in these gymnasts. The Pearson coefficient revealed statistically significant between cognitive and somatic anxiety. The regression analysis failed to reveal any significant predictor of performance in these young male artistic gymnasts. The findings of the study underline the importance of examining competitive state anxiety and self-confidence in young male artistic gymnasts, mainly developing strategies to improve self-confidence to enable the athletes to better prepare for forthcoming competitions.

Published: January 2023

The aim of this study was to find out the potential of the Minoritest to identify the most likely talented gymnasts to join the national team pre-training group in Finland. The study examined the relationships between gymnasts´ (N=215, age 10–13) Minoritest results (2006–2010) and success in competitions after the Minoritests until the end of 2016. The competition results were also compared between the gymnasts who had participated in the test and a random number (N=180) of gymnasts who had not. According to this study, the majority (92%) of the best gymnasts in competitions had participated in the Minoritest. 39% of the best in competitions were among the top 10 in the Minoritest. The test results from the technical skills showed a significant connection to the average competition results in all age groups and to the average competition level in the 10–12-year-olds. The test results of the flexibility section did not show relation to competition success. The test results of the strength section showed a significant connection to the average competition results and to the average competition level in the 10–11-year-olds. In the 12–13-year-olds the test results of the strength section showed a relation to the average competition level. According to this study Minoritest success have a positive connection to the future competition success. However, the relation cannot be considered unequivocal. The test results of the strength section can be considered a significant section for the 10–11-year-olds to predict future potential to succeed.

Description, comparison and biostratigraphy of the nonmarine Neogene diatom floras from Southern Bulgaria
Authors: Temniskova-Topalova Dobrina , Ognjanova-Rumenova Nadja
Published: January 2023

The diatom flora from Neogene lake basins in South Bulgaria is summarized and analysed. It consists of 627 species, varieties and forms, wich are distributed as follows: 459 species, 141 varieties and 27 forms (with uncleared nomenclature are 32 species). The species are referred to 51 genera, 23 families, 7 orders and 2 classes. During the Late Miocene - Early Pliocene in the South Bulgarian basins two types of diatom floras developed: I. "Aulacoseira species" type (The floras from Gotse Delchev, Elhovo and Palakariya Basins) and II. "Actinocyclus species" type (The floras from Sofia and Karlovo Basins). Specific type for the Southbulgarian palaeobasins is the "Actinocyclus species" type. The Actinocyclus species as a component of the Miocene floras, are very widespread (China, Far East, Siberia, Europe and North America), but development during the Late Miocene of various species Actinocyclus massively overlapped was observed only in South Bulgaria and to some extent in the Balkan Peninsula.

Upper Miocene volcanic rocks at Neo Petritsi, Central Macedonia (N. Greece)
Authors: Eleftheriadis George , Staikopoulos George
Published: January 2023

Volcanic rocks of dacite and trachyte composition intrude, mainly in the form of dykes, the crystalline basement of the Serbo-Macedonian massif, north of the village Neo Petritsi, in the Kerkini Mountains, Central Macedonia, Greece. They belong to the high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonite series with volcanic arc to post-collisional characteristics. Also, they show features of subduction-related magmas (high LIL/HFS element ratios). REE abundances and disequilibrium mineral textures suggest magma mixing processes for the generation of the studied rocks. 40Ar/39Ar age measurements on sanidine phenocrysts yielded about 12 Ma for the trachytes. Therefore, they are considered among the oldest Neogene to Quaternary volcanic products in the Aegean region that have been related to extensional movements.
Geochemical features of Ni-laterites from the westrn parts of the Balkan Peninsula
Authors: Eliopoulos Demetrios , Laskou Magda , Economou-Eliopoulos Maria
Published: January 2023

Fe-Ni ore samples from the Sfikia (Veria), Alonakia, Stournari, Kria Vrissi and Mavrolivado (Vermio) and Edessa deposits, plus underlying hornstone and talc-schist, were analyzed for major, minor and trace elements, including REE, Pt, Pd and Au. Also, chromite grain-fragments in Ni-Iaterites, from northern Greece, Bitincka (Albania), Ržanovo (FYROM) and Šumadija (Yugoslavia) were analyzed by electron microprobe. In general, there is a wide variation in the major, minor and trace element content since they cover a variety of Ni-laterite deposits. The Au, Pt and Pd contents are low, although higher than in bauxite ores from Greece, ranging between <5 and 20 ppb, <10 and 99 ppb, <1 and 22 ppb, respectively. The rare earth element (REE) content ranges from less than 10 ppm to 260 ppm. In the majority of the analyzed samples there is a preference of Ce over La. Thorium and U contents range from <0.5 to 36 ppm, and <0.5 to 12.5 ppm respectively. On the basis of factor analysis of the geochemical data of these ores there is a strong interelement correlation among REE as well as between them and Al, Ti, Th and U. Although more geochemical research is required to defme the conditions of acidity and Eh during the laterites formation in the Balkan peninsula, the interelement positive correlation among REE, U and Th may indicate that they share a common genesis.

Published: January 2023

Background and objectives: Studies have shown that kidney size varies in different populations across the globe. And knowledge of kidney size is important for correct interpretation of imaging studies like ultrasonography in clinical practice. This study was done to assess kidney dimensions in the Terai region, Nepal.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved healthy individuals of age 18 to 70 years. Ultrasound of abdomen was done to measure kidney dimensions which included length, width and thickness. Paired t-test was used for assessment of differences between right and left kidney dimensions. Unpaired t-test was used for assessment of differences in renal dimensions between male and female individuals.
Results: There were 98 (47.1 %) males and 110 (52.9 %) females. The mean age was 34.14 years. The mean kidney length, width and thickness were 9.8 (SD 0.9) cm, 5.25 (SD 0.9) cm, and 4.23 (SD 0.7) cm respectively. The length of right and left kidney was 9.65 (SD 0.87) cm and 9.98 (SD 0.89) cm respectively (p = 0.001). The width of right and left kidney was 5.18 (SD 0.79) cm, and 5.32 (SD 0.99) cm respectively (p = 0.12). The thickness of right and left kidney was 4.05 (SD 0.63) cm, and 4.4 (SD 0.72) cm respectively (p = 0.001). When compared between male and female, the mean length, width and thickness were greater in male. However, the difference in only thickness was significant (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: The average length, width and thickness of kidney were 9.8 cm, 5.25 cm and 4.23 cm respectively. The length of left kidney was greater than the right. Male kidney tended to be slightly larger than the female although the difference was not significant.

Encountering death on Facebook: A digital ethnography of pandemic deaths and online mourning
Authors: Sapalo Noreen
Published: January 2023

Referred to as digital mourning (Babis, 2020), the use of social networking sites to mourn seems to have become more prevalent amid the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing observers to describe their Facebook timelines as resembling “virtual obituaries” (Cruz, 2021, para. 3). Using digital ethnography and computer-mediated discourse analysis, this paper illustrates the discourses on COVID-19 deaths as well as the digital mourning practices of Filipino Facebook users. The study found that Filipinos primarily tended to stick to their pre-digital cultural script and virtues when reacting to and mourning deaths on the social networking site (Wierzbicka, 1985). The discourses and reactions of Filipino FB users reflected and mimicked “offline” responses and reactions to death, thereby effectively mediatizing traditional death and mourning rituals. At the same time, newer mourning practices are also emerging in the digital sphere. Tied to the responses and comments regarding death were discourses on COVID-19 denial and folk medicine, as well as emotionally-laden articulations of alignment and disalignment with other Facebook users. These findings make apparent how Facebook news posts on COVID-19 deaths cultivate emotional exchanges and generate pockets of culture-specific networks of mourners and commiserators by circulating news of death, mediating discourses on death, and facilitating various expressions of mourning and commiseration. Through these networks, Facebook actively contributes to the reconfiguring and extending of offline mourning rituals in the digital sphere.

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that to ensure a high-quality educational process in a preschool institution, it is necessary to prepare educators to work in inclusive groups, that is, to equip them with knowledge and skills to teach and educate children with special educational needs. The purpose of the study is to analyse modern approaches to improving the qualifications of teachers of preschool education institutions on the problem of inclusive education of children and find effective ways of professional development of teachers on this issue in the conditions of the Institute of postgraduate education. The methodological basis of the study was the papers of Ukrainian and foreign specialists in the field of inclusive education. General theoretical methods are used to solve these problems: analysis, induction, deduction, comparison, generalisation of information from theoretical sources, and the typological method. The necessity of implementing a system of approaches to the professional development of preschool education teachers on inclusive education issues is substantiated. The results of a survey of teachers of preschool education institutions in Kyiv, according to which, it was established that the vast majority of participants need special training on the problems of inclusive education and consider the institute of postgraduate education as a place for such training. Effective approaches to improving the skills of educators are identified, in particular, the use of active methods in teaching and the inclusion of practical classes in the educational process based on inclusive institutions. Among the most popular subjects for professional development are the following: organisation of the educational process, cooperation with an assistant, development of didactic equipment, cooperation with parents, psychological support for the teacher. The practical importance of the research consists in informing teaching teams of postgraduate education about the specific features of the needs of preschool teachers in the field of advanced training on inclusive education. This problem is of interest to students, who receive a pedagogical speciality

В основе предлагаемого методического анализа лежит логическое сопоставление типа промышленной политики, используемого инструментария и отраслевого анализа, отражающего структурные и динамические особенности развития отдельной отрасли экономики. Реализация методического подхода происходит в три этапа. На первом этапе обосновывается глубина анализа. На втором проводится динамический анализ показателей концентрации, монопольной власти, оценка уровня входных барьеров и турбулентности рынка. На третьем анализируются нормативно-правовые акты, формирующую селективную промышленную политику в части основных инструментов воздействия на отрасль. Сочетание методов позволяет сделать выводы об эффективности используемого инструментария промышленной политики в части устойчивого развития. Апробация методического подхода проводится на примере отрасли сельскохозяйственного машиностроения. Результаты динамического отраслевого анализа показали отсутствие устойчивого роста в отрасли, низкий уровень развития конкуренции, рыночных механизмов координации. Динамический нормативный анализ показал преобладающее использование прямых субсидий как инструмента промышленной политики. Это позволяет определить существующую промышленную политику как реакционную, а принимаемые меры считать временными и неэффективными. Предложенный методический подход является универсальным и может быть использован для анализа других промышленных рынках.

Эмпирические данные служат основным источником знаний о природных явлениях и процессах. Разработке методов анализа закономерностей их поведения в зависимости от конкретных условий посвящено большое количество работ, среди которых особое место занимают математические модели, описывающие исследуемые закономерности в количественном виде. В рамках данной работы показано, что многие общие аспекты анализа и аппроксимации функций по эмпирическим данным могут быть рассмотрены в рамках предложенного варианта субполосного анализа и синтеза с использованием основных понятий анализа Фурье.
Качественные особенности переходного излучения быстрых и медленных частиц
Authors: Сыщенко Владислав Вячеславович , Кривцов Вадим Александрович
Published: January 2023

Переходное излучение возникает при движении заряженной частицы сквозь границу раздела двух сред с различными электромагнитными свойствами, в простейшем случае — границы вакуума и проводника. Интерес к явлению переходного излучения резко возрос, когда стало ясно, что его выход резко растет с энергией излучающей частицы. Поэтому наиболее интенсивно исследуется и используется на практике излучение частиц высоких энергий, что формирует у многих исследователей определенные интуитивные ожидания относительно характера излучения, неверные, однако, в общем случае. В статье систематически обуждаются характеристики (спектрально-угловая плотность и поляризация) переходного излучения при наклонном падении частицы на проводящую плоскость, прослежено происхождение отличий этих характеристик в случае медленных (умеренно релятивистских и нерелятивистских) частиц от интуитивно ожидаемых характеристик излучения ультрарелятивистских частиц.
Особенности построения политико-мифологических конструктов региональных этнократий в постсоветской России: изобретение, смыслы, нарративы
Authors: Волкова Алина Евгеньевна
Published: January 2023

В настоящее время все более актуальным становится вопрос о том, как внутри Российской Федерации сосуществуют представители разных этносов и наций. В первую очередь это касается национальных республик, где русские не являются большинством (Татарстан, Башкортостан, Мордовия, Удмуртия и т. д.). Учитывая напряженную международную обстановку, лидеры партий и движений националистической направленности в указанных субъектах страны становятся теми акторами, которые начинают транслировать сепаратистские идеи, цель которых – дестабилизация политической системы Российской Федерации вплоть до полного выхода обозначенных выше субъектов из состава страны. Одним из инструментов подогревания радикальных настроений становятся политические мифы. Автор статьи пытается разобраться с тем, как в политическом процессе современной России сформировались определенные мифы, на чем они основываются и кто является основным выразителем и ретранслятором в медиапространстве.

Published: January 2023

Kadınları doğum ve anneliğe geçişe hazırlamaya odaklanan bilgilendirici ve psikolojik müdahaleler gibi nonfarmakolojik yaklaşımların doğum korkusunu azaltmada fayda sağladığı belirtilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, gebelerde doğum korkusuna yönelik müdahalelere ilişkin randomize kontrollü çalışmaların incelenmesidir. Çalışmada, Aralık 2020-Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında “pregnant women” and “fear of childbirth” and “randomized controlled trial” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science ve Cochrane veri tabanları tarandı ve ulaşılan makaleler değerlendirildi. Sistematik derlemeye, yayın dili Türkçe veya İngilizce olan, araştırma örneklemleri gebelerden oluşan, tam metnine ulaşılan, Ocak 2015-Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında yayınlanan randomize kontrollü çalışmalar alındı. Çalışmadan İngilizce ve Türkçe dışındaki dillerde yazılmış olan derlemeler, sistematik derlemeler, olgu sunumları, tezler, randomize kontrollü dışındaki çalışmalar, kongre kitabında yayınlanan bildiriler, tam metnine ulaşılamayan makaleler dışlandı. Sırası ile başlık, özet ve tam metine göre yapılan inceleme neticesinde alınma kriterlerine uyan 14 makaleye ulaşıldı. Makalelerin seçiminin aşamaları ve kapsam dahilindeki ve hariç tutulan çalışmaların tüm aşamaları PRISMA akış şemasında belirtildi. Gebelerde psiko-eğitim tekniklerinin, ebe tarafından verilen bireysel danışmanlık programının, nefes alma farkındalığının, intrapartum destekleyici bakımın ve doğuma yönelik eğitim müdahalelerinin doğum korkusunu azaltmada etkili olduğu, 18 saatlik farkındalık temelli anneliğe hazırlık programının, gebe kadınlarda doğum korkusunun yanı sıra öz yeterliliği de iyileştirdiği, haptoterapi müdahalesinin doğum korkusunu azaltabilecek belirli becerilerin geliştirilmesini kolaylaştırdığı, distraksiyon tekniklerinin ardından doğum korkusunun düşük olduğu ancak farkın anlamlı olmadığı, gebelerin internet tabanlı bilişsel davranış terapi müdahalesine kıyasla yüz yüze danışmanlıktan daha memnun oldukları belirlendi. İncelenen çalışmalardan 12’sinde doğum korkusunun azaldığı belirlendi.
