Ведения открытых горных работ в Казахстане приводит к значительным нарушениям плодородия земель. В результате на этих землях ухудшаются качество природной среды и санитарно-гигиеническое состояние региона.
На практике восстановление нарушенных земель и ввод их в хозяйственный оборот требует длительного времени и больших финансовых вложений. Поэтому, перед добывающими предприятиями стоит задача провести своевременно работу по рекультивации земель, что требует разработки и принятия комплекса мер по их реконструкции.
При открытой разработке месторождений твёрдых полезных ископаемых и интенсивное их использование для нужд страны считается с экономической точки зрения эффективным. Однако, воздействие последствий освоения недр на окружающую среду и на здоровье людей, проживающих вблизи от этой местности, требует разработки научно обоснованных мероприятий по эффективному восстановлению этих нарушенных земель.
В Сарысуском районе Жамбылской области сосредоточена мощная сырьевая база месторождений фосфоритов. Добыча фосфоритов открытым способом оказывает сильное техногенное воздействие на экологическую среду: атмосферу, водные и земельные ресурсы, недра, растительный и животный мир. В республике по законодательным актам горнодобывающие предприятия должны выполнять все установленные требования по выбросу загрязняющих веществ в атмосферу. Сегодня контроль над выбросами осуществляет Казгидромет РК.
Следует отметить, что социально-экономические условия на практике диктуют необходимость разработки месторождений, формируют способы добычи, но необходимо эти нарушенные земли восстанавливать.
В статье приведены результаты научных исследований по восстановлению нарушенных земель на примере опытного рекультивированного участка №2 на месторождении Кокжон Сарысуского района Жамбылской области.

Мемлекет басшысы Қасым - Жомарт Тоқаевтың «Әділетті Қазақстанның экономикалық бағдары» атты Жолдауында қамтылған өзекті мәселенің бірі – еліміздегі су шаруашылығын дамыту. Еліміз үшін, мемлекет үшін аса маңызды осы салада өз алдына жеке Су ресурстары және ирригация министрлігін құру кеш те болса қолға алынғаны өте дұрыс қадам болды.
Су – шектеулі ресурс, оның көлемінің азаюы мемлекеттің ұлттық қауіпсіздігіне қатер төндіреді. Мемлекет басшысы  Жол­да­уында  «Ішкі су ресурстарын үнем­деп пайдалану өте маңызды. Суды үнемдейтін технология өте баяу енгізілуде. Еліміздің кейбір өңірлерінде суды ең көп жұмсайтын ауыл шаруашылығы саласында оның 40 пайызы босқа ысырап болып жатыр. Су шаруашылығы нысандарының 60 пайызы тозып тұр. Ең алдымен, суды үнемдейтін озық технологияны енгізу ісін тездетіп, оны қолдану аумағын жыл сайын 150 мың гектарға дейін кеңейту керек. Су үнемдейтін технологияларды енгізу – аса маңызды және шұғыл міндет. Суды нормативтен артық жұмсағандар оның ақысын жоғары тарифпен төлеуі керек. Бір сөзбен айтсақ, суды барынша үнемдеуіміз қажет», деп нақтылай тапсырма берген болатын.
Су шаруашылығы – Қазақстан Республикасының базалық салаларының бірі,оның табысты жұмыс істеуіне бүкіл экономиканың тұрақтылығы, халықтың тіршілігін қамтамасыз ету, қоршаған табиғи ортаның орнықтылығы ұлттық қауіпсіздікке байланысты. Су ресурстарының тапшылығы артып келе жатқан жағдайда суармалы жерлерді ұтымды және тиімді пайдалану мәселелері Қазақстанның су саясатының басымдығы болып табылады. Бүгінгі таңда Қазақстан экономикасы «Қазақстан-2050» Стратегиясында айтылғандай, су ресурстарының қатаң тапшылығы жағдайында дамитыны анық. Қазақстанның жер үсті өзен суларының ресурстары соңғы 20 жылда орта есеппен жылына 100,4 км3 құрайды. Республика аумағында 56,7 км3 қалыптасады, ал қалған бөлігі көрші елдерден келеді. Қазақстан жағдайындағы су ресурстары бұдан былай толық мағынада жаңартылатын табиғи ресурстар болып табылмайды, өйткені көршілес елдерден су берудің айтарлықтай дәрежесіне байланысты,бұл ретте Қазақстанның су ресурстарына төнетін басты қауіп – жер үсті, жер асты сулары сияқты сарқылу мен ластанудың тұрақты байқалатын үрдісі.

Кез келген мемлекеттің жер ресурсы оның ұлттық байлығы. Жер дегеніміз жалпы қоғам өмірінде, қажетті материалдық жағдайлар арасында басты орында алады, ол экономикалық қызметтің барлық аясында маңызды функцияларды орындайды. Жер учаскелерінің кадастрлық құнының республика қалалары үшін маңызы зор. Кадастрлық (бағалау) құны - мемлекет жер учаскесін немесе оны жалға алу құқығын сатқан кезде қолданылатын, инфляцияның жалпы деңгейі туралы ресми статистикалық ақпаратқа сәйкес кезең-кезеңімен нақтыланатын жер учаскелері үшін төлемақының базалық ставкалары және оларға түзету коэффициенттері негізінде айқындалатын жер учаскесінің есептеу құны [1].
Талғар қаласы – Алматы облысы Талғар ауданының орталығы. Алматы қаласынан арақашықтығы: 25 км; облыс орталығы Қонаев қаласынан арақашықтығы: 83 км [2, 3].
Бүгінгі күнде жерді бағалаудың қажеттілігі жер қатынастарының өзгеруіне және жерді, жер пайдалану құқығын сату-сатып алу мүмкіндігінің пайда болуына байланысты өсуде.
Ауыл шаруашылық жерлерді тиімді пайдалануды ұйымдастыру негізінде жерді экономикалық бағалау жалпы мемлекеттік жер кадастрының құрам бөлігіне кіреді. Жер учаскелерінің сапасы әр түрлі болғандықтан, олардың әр қайсысына жұмсалған бір көлемдегі еңбек әртүрлі өндірістік нәтиже береді. Бұл жағдай өндірісте ауыл шаруашылық жұмыстарын жүргізу көрсеткіштеріне әсерін тигізеді. Сондықтан жер – кез келген өзге өндіріс құрамы сияқты өзінің өндірісік қабілетіне сай бағалануы тиіс.
Топырақ пен жер ресурстары мемлекеттік қорғау және ұтымды пайдалану шараларын едәуір қысқарта отырып, табиғи ресурстарды, оның ішінде ауыл шаруашылығын ұтымсыз пайдаланудың жалғасуы жердің тозу процестерінің көрінісін одан әрі шиеленістіре түседі [4].
Мақалада қарастырылатын басты сұрақтарды негізге ала отырып, Талғар ауданы бойынша барлық жерді кадастрлық бағалау жұмыстары қалай іске асырылатыны туралы және өзіне тән қандай мақсаттары мен міндеттерді қамтитынына баса назар аудара отырып,  жеке-жеке көрсетілді. Сонымен қатар Талғар ауданының соның ішінде Талғар қаласының елді мекен жерлерін кадастрлық бағалау және ауыл шаруашылық жерлерін кадастрлық бағалау қандай жолмен жүзеге асырылатыны қарастырылды.

Published: July 2024

Making an investment decision is an important stage for investors, entrepreneurs and companies seeking to optimize their investment portfolios and achieve financial goals. This article examines the main factors influencing the investment decision-making process. In particular, the economic, financial, political and social aspects that can influence the decision to invest in certain assets or projects are highlighted. In addition, methods of analysis and assessment of risks associated with investments are discussed, as well as portfolio management strategies to minimize potential losses and maximize income. Ultimately, the article is intended to help readers better understand the key aspects of investment decision-making and make informed investment decisions taking into account current economic and financial conditions.
Making an investment decision is a complex process that requires careful analysis of many factors. The main factors influencing the investment decision can be divided into several categories.
The first and perhaps the most important factor is the economic component. Economic indicators such as GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, interest rates, etc. have a direct impact on investment decisions. For example, high inflation can reduce the real value of investments, while stable GDP growth can create a favorable environment for investment.
Financial factors also play an important role. This includes evaluating the financial performance of a company or project, such as return on investment, debt level, profitability, etc. Investors usually tend to choose investments with high return potential and low financial risks.

Published: July 2024

The scientific article presents current issues and modern directions of investment development of the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan. The issues of the development of the agro-industrial complex in Kazakhstan at the last stage are provided by well-planned state programs, among which the main attention is paid to ensuring the availability of the sales market and the development of exports, the development of rural areas. However, the analysis revealed that currently there are many shortcomings in the investment development of the agro-industrial complex, the imperfection of market economic mechanisms in the activities of agricultural enterprises, insufficient commercial information, a large contribution to Investment financing is carried out only within the framework of state programs. From the statistical data, it was analyzed that agriculture has developed by 2-3 percent over the past 2-3 years, but this indicates that the situation with inflation of at least 7-8 percent for each year in the country remains uncertain.
The main reasons leading to a decrease in the share of investment financing of the agro-industrial complex in the country are: forced distribution of income for current consumption, a decrease in the role of depreciation, the lack of necessary monetary circulation, inefficient management of state support, inflation and other negative phenomena.
The authors propose ways to implement investment activities for the development of the agricultural sector of the economy in modern conditions. The scientific article suggests the development of strategies, the creation of investment policy mechanisms to improve the economic efficiency of the agro-industrial complex of the country, the planning of directions with indicators that lead to economic efficiency in future years, as well as hard work, the optimization of investment activities through an effective depreciation policy, the establishment of systems and mechanisms of self-financing through the financial statements of agricultural enterprises.

Published: July 2024

Основная проблема: В сыпучем зерновом сырье (пшеница, кукуруза и т.д.) процесс релаксации происходит под механическим воздействием. В тоже время повышаются пластические свойства материала, уменьшается нагрузка и энергия, затрачиваемые на обработку изделия.
На практике большая часть стресса уменьшается за относительно короткий промежуток времени (около 30 секунд), поэтому важен 1-й этап расслабления. Затем, через определенное время, зерно снова прессовали до тех пор, пока оно не разрушалось (точка В).
Как видно, предел прочности испытуемого материала при растяжении в этом случае меньше предела прочности при растяжении, достигнутого без учета процесса релаксации. В результате в ходе процесса релаксации прочность зернового продукта снижается.
Цель: Целью исследования является изучение релаксационных свойств зернового сырья под механическим воздействием. Расчеты показывают, что энергия, затрачиваемая на уничтожение зерновых продуктов, сокращается на 20-30% с учетом процесса смягчения последствий.
Методы, Результаты и их значимость: В статье приведены результаты исследований релаксации напряжении зерна пшеницы, которые необходимы для расчета и проектирования высокоэффективного технологического оборудования для измельчения и таблетирования продукта на основе зернового сырья.

Integrating Patient-Reported Outcomes in the Evaluation of Breast Implant Satisfaction and Quality of Life
Authors: Sulaimon Busola
Published: July 2024

With a focus on aesthetic and reconstructive services, PROs have become even more important in assessing the success rate of procedures. More specifically, the current study looks into the use of PROs to gauge patient quality of life and satisfaction with breast implants. Accordingly, patients may not be content with their care because typical measures based on a proportion of fatalities, morbidity/mortality rates, or other consequences following treatment do not necessarily provide the complete picture. It is recognized that including PROs could assist healthcare practitioners with patient satisfaction insights that conventional measurements must precisely record. Among the frequently employed tools is the Breast-Q, which assesses many domains, such as satisfaction with the physical, psychological, and sexual aspects of the breast's appearance. Because of this, research has shown that incorporating these indicators is crucial for evaluating the perceived surgical outcomes, which show improved life quality and psychosocial elements and enhanced satisfaction with the appearance of the treated body area. However, physical discomfort and other adverse effects might sometimes be felt as tightness or pain that are difficult to quantify with traditional medical testing. When PROs are used in the clinic, a more thorough picture of the patient's functioning domains is provided, which enables the doctor to help the patient manage their post-operative pain or consult with a specialist about psychiatric issues. PROs can also strengthen the relationship between patients and clinicians by allowing patients to participate in creating their treatment plans, which guarantees that the plans are tailored to the patients' needs and preferences. Therefore, we must stress the significance of PROs, especially in assessing patient satisfaction with breast implants and their overall quality of life. Carotenemia SC identified areas of strength and need for improvement from the perspective of subjective constructs to enhance process quality improvement in breast implant surgery for the benefit of patients.

The Programming of Free Will in Anthony Burgess’s
A Clockwork Orange
Authors: Ahmed Ayesha Iftikhar
Published: July 2024

In Anthony Burgess’s
A Clockwork Orange
(1962), the term “clockwork” refers to the moral programming of delinquents. Drawing on Nadsat’s deconstructive moves, this paper uncovers a hitherto overlooked meaning of “clockwork,” one that foregrounds how our temporal condition constrains our ability to choose freely. Courtesy of the argot, the mortality that conditions choice emerges as a form of programming. As a result, free will acquires a “clockwork” dimension. The temporal meaning of “clockwork” not only does a great deal of justice to deconstruction’s grounding in cybernetics but, more importantly, offers new insights into the dystopian novella’s problematizing of free will.

Authors: Singleton Nathan
Published: July 2024

While glimpses of counternormative and potentially utopian radical sex practices abound in J. G. Ballard’s seminal work
Crash
(1973), the book ends in a miasma of psychopathic violence, thus precluding a utopian reading. However, in Ballard’s later novel
The Unlimited Dream Company
(1979), the utopian potential implied in the transgressive sexuality of
Crash
is brought to the forefront of the author’s work. In fusing the Freudian/Lacanian death drive with Herbert Marcuse’s erotic utopian impulses,
The Unlimited Dream Company
reveals Ballard as a writer more in tune with the possibilities of counternormative sexual utopias than perhaps previously thought.
Death, History, and the Time Loop: The Subject/Object Relation in Vandana Singh’s “Somadeva: A Sky River Sutra”
Authors: White Shaoni C.
Published: July 2024

This article argues that Vandana Singh’s postcolonial short story “Somadeva: A Sky River Sutra” (2010) employs the anachronistic chronotope of the time loop in order to explore nonlinear, heterogenous temporalities and challenge imperialist paradigms of time, history, science, and death. The short story theorizes speculation as a collective endeavor fueled by a dialectic of hope and disappointment, an endeavor that encompasses both literary and academic work. Drawing on postcolonial studies’ questioning of temporality and history, I investigate how “Somadeva: A Sky River Sutra” interrogates the assumptions underlying the subject/object relation. Then I bring Wai Chee Dimock’s concept of “statistical kinship” into dialogue with Singh’s work, exploring how the short story’s reconfiguration of death and failure gestures toward a potent yet controversial ethos of non-hegemonic universality.

Visualizing the Number of Existing and Future Gravitational-wave Detections from Merging Double Compact Objects
Authors: Broekgaarden Floor S. , Banagiri Sharan , Payne Ethan
Published: July 2024

How many gravitational-wave observations from double compact object mergers have we seen to date? This seemingly simple question surprisingly yields a somewhat ambiguous answer that depends on the chosen data-analysis pipeline, detection threshold, and other underlying assumptions. To illustrate this we provide visualizations of the number of existing detections from double compact object mergers by the end of the third observing run (O3) based on recent results from the literature. Additionally, we visualize the expected number of observations from future-generation detectors, highlighting the possibility of up to millions of detections per year by the time next-generation ground-based detectors like Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope come online. We present a publicly available code that highlights the exponential growth in gravitational-wave observations in the coming decades and the exciting prospects of gravitational-wave (astro)physics.

AT 2019azh is a H+He tidal disruption event (TDE) with one of the most extensive ultraviolet and optical data sets available to date. We present our photometric and spectroscopic observations of this event starting several weeks before and out to approximately 2 yr after the g-band's peak brightness and combine them with public photometric data. This extensive data set robustly reveals a change in the light-curve slope and a possible bump in the rising light curve of a TDE for the first time, which may indicate more than one dominant emission mechanism contributing to the pre-peak light curve. Indeed, we find that the MOSFiT-derived parameters of AT 2019azh, which assume reprocessed accretion as the sole source of emission, are not entirely self-consistent. We further confirm the relation seen in previous TDEs whereby the redder emission peaks later than the bluer emission. The post-peak bolometric light curve of AT 2019azh is better described by an exponential decline than by the canonical t
−5/3 (and in fact any) power-law decline. We find a possible mid-infrared excess around the peak optical luminosity, but cannot determine its origin. In addition, we provide the earliest measurements of the Hα emission-line evolution and find no significant time delay between the peak of the V-band light curve and that of the Hα luminosity. These results can be used to constrain future models of TDE line formation and emission mechanisms in general. More pre-peak 1–2 days cadence observations of TDEs are required to determine whether the characteristics observed here are common among TDEs. More importantly, detailed emission models are needed to fully exploit such observations for understanding the emission physics of TDEs.
BxC Toolkit: Generating Tailored Turbulent 3D Magnetic Fields
Authors: Maci Daniela , Keppens Rony , Bacchini Fabio
Published: July 2024

Turbulent states are ubiquitous in plasmas, and the understanding of turbulence is fundamental in modern astrophysics. Numerical simulations, which are the state-of-the-art approach to the study of turbulence, require substantial computing resources. Recently, attention shifted to methods for generating synthetic turbulent magnetic fields, affordably creating fields with parameter-controlled characteristic features of turbulence. In this context, the BxC toolkit was developed and validated against direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of isotropic turbulent magnetic fields. Here, we demonstrate novel extensions of BxC to generate realistic turbulent magnetic fields in a fast, controlled, geometric approach. First, we perform a parameter study to determine quantitative relations between the BxC input parameters and the desired characteristic features of the turbulent power spectrum, such as the extent of the inertial range, its spectral slope, and the injection and dissipation scale. Second, we introduce in the model a set of structured background magnetic fields,
B

0, as a natural and more realistic extension to the purely isotropic turbulent fields. Third, we extend the model to include anisotropic turbulence properties in the generated fields. With all these extensions combined, our tool can quickly generate any desired structured magnetic field with controlled, anisotropic turbulent fluctuations, faster by orders of magnitude with respect to DNSs. These can be used, e.g., to provide initial conditions for DNSs or easily generate synthetic data for many astrophysical settings, all at otherwise unaffordable resolutions.
Crowdfunding Campaign Influences on Market Pricing Decisions
Authors: Konhaeusner Peter , Semmerau Sharon-Maria
Published: July 2024

As an integral part of the marketing mix, pricing is related to the expected value of the products it supports (Feng et al. 2019, Zhang and Chiang 2020). The adequately set price will therefore result in a higher demand on the market and in maximizing the profit of the firm constrained by the quantity of products or services offered (Feng et al. 2019). Identifying, projecting, and influencing the price sensitivity of customers represents an important strategic marketing task (Graciola et al. 2018, Zhang and Tian 2021). Crowdfunding might be used as a preselling method as it supports the identification of target groups and future demand (Brown et al. 2017).

This article explores the possibility to use crowdfunding as a method to set the price for a subsequent market entry (Popp and Woratschek 2017, Pater and Cristea 2018, Dowling et al. 2019). Recent research highlighted how the pricing mechanisms in crowdfunding campaigns work, leaving out the managerial implications for the time after the campaign (Roma et al. 2018, Peng et al. 2020, Tseng 2021, Konhäusner et al. 2021). Furthermore, the right pricing for shares in an equity-based crowdfunding campaign has been analyzed, but the view has not been expanded outside of the campaign timeline (Krämer and Kalka 2016, Feng et al. 2019).

Therefore, this work discusses theoretically the use of crowdfunding campaigns as a pre-sale method to set the right price when launching the product on the market (Sayedi and Baghaie 2017). By means of case studies focusing on Kickstarter campaigns supported by data from Amazon using the online Tool Keepa, the article highlights the differences between the pricing strategy of the offered products in the crowdfunding campaigns and in the market after the successful ending of the campaign. It is discussed how crowdfunding campaigns can point customers towards new products and help marketers to set the right price based on the feedback from the crowd.

With the help of the different analyzed use cases, it became evident that the feedback from the crowdfunding users can help the campaign runners to set the pricing of a product. Furthermore, most of the campaign runners used the feedback of the successful campaigns to set even a higher price on the market.

Further research could evaluate unsuccessful crowdfunding campaigns which sell their products. Given more available data the analysis could be broadened to directly observe the difference in pricing between the last day of the campaign and the first day of the product on the market. Additionally, the adapted approach analyzing use cases in this study should be further applied and evaluated.
Exploring Identity and Possible Selves Across Ensemble Musicians
Authors: Adams Rebecca , Cartwright Philip A. , Barbolla Zapater Maria
Published: July 2024

This research reports initial results from a study focused on better understanding the formation of self-identity and possible selves amongst a sample of professional musicians, dancers, and actors of various ages. The study dives deeper into applying the he original concept of possible selves to ensemble musicians.

Much literature concerns the development of self-identity and possible selves in adolescents, which is an important foundation for understanding the formation of identity. To dive deeper, this study also includes respondents of middle aged and elder respondents within performing arts.

The goal brings insight to how identity evolves throughout the entire lifespan of a performing artist with respect to their own attachment and conviction to the self. A secondary objective is to understand the extent to which perceptions of possible selves changes (typical of adolescents) amongst older respondents.

A survey consistent with meeting ethical standards is distributed electronically to a not-publicly available list of professional ensemble musicians, ballet dancers and actors. Twenty-five survey statements are presented in six categories: Association, Emotional Attachment, Conviction, External Factors, Goals and The Ensemble & Me. Five-point Likert scale responses are analyzed using conventional methods (i.e., correlation, cluster and factor analysis). Further, a Musical Identity Measure (MIM) consistent with other researchers is applied to investigate an individual's self-identities and possible selves and consistency relative to the six categories of questions.

The authors expect the results will provide insights into respondent self-identity based motivations to engage with performing arts activities and to the extent these activities and associations regulate behavior. Furthermore, identifying areas that require additional support or guidance, and supporting future oriented decision making. The measure may also support educators and researchers to better understand and support processes of development and skill acquisition, while upholding modifications and new investigation into self-identity for performing artists.

A new record and a novel morph description of Boiga stoliczkae (Squamata, Colubridae) from China
Authors: Weng Shiyang , Yang Dian-Cheng , Wei Cong , Li Peng , Cui Zhangbo , Jiang ZhiHao , Huang Song
Published: July 2024

The Asian Cat Snake genus Boiga Fitzinger, 1826 includes 37 species, with high species diversity. Five species of Boiga have been recorded in China including B. multomaculata (Boie, 1827), B. kraepelini (Stejneger, 1902), B. cyanea (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854), B. guangxiensis (Wen, 1998) and B. siamensis (Nutaphand, 1971). Previously, the validity of the species Boiga stoliczkae (Wall, 1909) was controversial. B. stoliczkae was considered in synonymy with B. ochracea. Currently, the taxonomy of B. multomaculata and B. ochracea (Theobald, 1868) was revised so that B. multomaculata and B. ochracea actually represent a single species and B. stoliczkae was recognised as a valid species. B. stoliczkae was previously known to be found in the west from central Nepal through Darjeeling, Sikkim and Bhutan to Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in north-eastern India.

One adult female specimen of the Asian Cat Snake was collected from Gyirong County, near the China-Nepal border, Tibet, China during fieldwork on August 2023. We compared morphology and mitochondrial DNA sequence data with all the species of the genus Boiga. Both datasets strongly supported referring the Chinese specimens to B. stoliczkae (Wall, 1909) due to the 21 mid-dorsal scale rows and the uncorrected p-distance (mitochondrial DNA gene cytochrome b) between this specimen and B. stoliczkae which is 1.7%. We further described morphological characters of the Chinese specimen in detail and compared these with the specimens that had been previously described. The dorsal ground colour of the Chinese specimen is dark brown, with a black stripe distributed almost evenly across the tail. This is a novel morph of the species B. stoliczkae. The newly-collected Chinese specimen expands the distribution of the species on the Himalaya range.
Trends in American Alligator Pods in Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge
Authors: Brandt Laura A.
Published: July 2024

American alligators are an important component of the Greater Everglades, serving as ecosystem engineers, predator, and prey and are tightly tied to water depth patterns. Because of their importance to ecosystem function and link to hydrology, American alligators are an ecological indicator for Everglades restoration. I used data from fall nighttime spotlight surveys of American alligators in the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, Florida, to describe the trend in number of hatchling pods from 1998 to 2021 and relate that trend to hydrologic parameters hypothesized to influence American alligator production. I used an information-theoretic approach to evaluate 14 models created from combinations of year of observation and three hydrologic variables: average and range in water depth from 16 April of the previous year to 15 April of the nesting year (breeding potential window) and average water depth from 16 April to 31 May of the nesting year (courtship and mating window). Number of pods ranged from 16 in 1998 to 0 in 2011. Each of the four top models included year and one or more of the hydrologic variables as predictors and explained 26–34% (D-squared) of the variation in number of pods. Year was the predictor for which the 95% confidence interval (CI) did not contain 0 and indicated a declining trend (from −3 to −8%; 95% CI). I included all hydrologic variables in the top models, indicating that they contribute some information to explaining the trend; however, contrary to my hypotheses, there was not a clear relationship between any of the hydrologic variables and number of American alligator pods. I based my hypotheses on information synthesized in the American alligator production suitability index model used in Everglades restoration planning, and my results suggest the need for additional refinement of that model.
Prawitz’s semantics and Walton’s argument schemes: a tentative reading and application of Kreisel’s informal rigour
Authors: Montesi Francesco , d’Aragona Antonio Piccolomini
Published: July 2024

We propose a reading of Kreisel’s informal rigour as a dialectic interplay between a formal and an intuitive level in the study of logically relevant notions. To substantiate our reading, we provide two case-studies: Prawitz semantics and Walton’s analysis of argument schemes. Prawitz’s semantics suggests an interaction between informal presuppositions, confirmed and refined by results about formal setups, and formal setups, which can be improved by suitably formalising informal presuppositions. In Walton’s Argumentation Theory, argument schemes are introduced to account for arguments that support their conclusion in a presumptive way. The possibility of developing such informal notion through the formal means provided by research in AI shows the importance of the interaction between these two levels in the analysis of defeasibility.
Mic Detlefsen, Hilbert’s Program
Authors: Szczeciniarz Jean-Jacques
Published: July 2024

Two themes are developed here: one, general, enters into the analysis of the notion of object, the other, more specific but also complex, takes up the rehabilitation of Hilbert’s Program, thus paying tribute to the great work of Mic Detlefsen. He shows how the destruction of this program by Gödel’s theorem is a delusion, despite the greatness and the importance of Gödel’s work in the History of Logic. The refocusing of Hilbert’s work then opens up perspectives on the analysis of the notion of object and on the idea of effectiveness to which mathematical practice invites us.
Fine’s Postulationism, Objectivity, and Mathematical Creation
Authors: Venturi Giorgio , Schmidt João Vitor
Published: July 2024

We analyse Kit Fine’s proposal of a procedural Postulationism for mathematics. From a linguistic perspective, we argue that Postulationism is better understood in terms of declarative speech acts. Based on this observation, we argue in favor of a form of Declarationism able to account for both the objectivity of mathematics and its creative dimension.
The Effective as the Actual and as the Calculable in Jean Cavaillès
Authors: Hare Matt
Published: July 2024

Jean Cavaillès’ definition of mathematics as effective thought or effective work is central to his analysis of the “objective becoming” of mathematics. This concept crosses two referents: the effective as the actual and the history of effective calculability. I examine Cavaillès’ treatment of two phases of the mathematical history of the concept: first, debates between the French analysts around effective definability, and, second, Gödel, Church and Kleene’s work on effective computability. Cavaillès’ temporalisation of the concept of the effective is seen to inform his rejection of any a priori theory of science and correlative relativisation of the transcendental, and thus his theory of discontinuous logical time.
