Published: December 2022

The emerging of green entrepreneurship and digital transformation improve businesses’ efficiency and meet consumers’ demand for environmentally sustainable products, reducing the environmental footprint and strengthening corporate responsibility to society. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has become a key event changing our lives while businesses have to change their daily operations and working from home has become the norm. So, it is possible to say that business activities and business models have undergone some form of digital transformation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Greece, the Food Industry can be characterized as one of the most dynamic and competitive economic sectors which is distinguished for its growth prospects. The aim of this study is twofold: (i) to investigate the impact of green entrepreneurship and digital transformation into the performance of Greek SMEs in the food sector and (ii) to highlight the new trends integrated in new business models in the sector. To meet the research purpose, a bibliometric and co-citation analysis was used based on the R package and graphene as a subject of research for bibliometric analysis. The knowledge gained in this article shows how the digital transformation changed the functioning of the companies in the food industry. The conclusions of this article are mainly for the enterprises that are considering their own digitalization, which contributes to the long-term sustainability of them.

Greed plays an important in the fluctuations of stock prices because investors want profits irrespective of the risk taken by them. This study aims to determine, whether, in times of rising trends in the market, greediness is good for the investor or not. Secondly, investors can get high profits by beating the market or not. The already formed deciles portfolios of listed companies on NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ based on size and book to market value are taken from the Kenneth R. French data library from Dec 1994 to Dec 2021. Sharpe, Treynor, and Sortino ratios are used as the measure of the performance of portfolios. Ordinal logistic regression is used to calculate the probability at different benchmark levels to determine, whether the investor gets the profit by beating the market or not. The results show that the investor who used the Sharpe ratio has an average 85% probability of getting a profit of more than 75% of the benchmark of S&P-500 in all periods. Thus, the investors’ greediness is good in the long run if the investor considers total risk and can beat the market. By using the Sortino and Treynor ratio, there is an average 50% probability of achieving the profit up to the benchmark which is S&P-500. This means that the investors are not able to beat the market thus, support the efficient market hypothesis by considering the downside and market risk.

This study investigates the issues related to some aspects of the Kazakh concept of face and politeness, the perceptions of politeness, and politeness and impoliteness strategies. The principal means and mechanism guide and predetermines the social conduct that guarantees the harmony of the relationships between people. Kazakh politeness, as part of people’s communicative behavior, is a component of national culture and is governed by national customs and traditions based on deep historical roots. Historically nomadic, the Kazakhs had to develop a pattern of interaction rules within the community and outside that helped them to adapt successfully to the harsh conditions of the steppe. The only guarantee to successfully survive in the vast steppe, arid nature, and nomadic way of life was to maintain benevolent relations between people and, at any expense, prevent conflict and aggressive situations. An online survey was conducted in which 100 first-year al-Farabi university students participated. The survey data obtained provided valuable insight into the young people’s beliefs about politeness and impoliteness and how the concept of politeness affects their moral values and shapes their ethnocultural behavior in modern times. The respondents’ answers showed a surprising uniformity in defining the politeness principles in the Kazakh context. With Kazakh young people, politeness is nestled in respecting others, especially older adults, appropriate behavior, maintaining smooth and harmonious interpersonal relations, good manners, and adhering to societal rules and norms.

Published: December 2022

Malaysian universities’ adoption of English as a medium of instruction provides Libyan international students, who have been reported as the seventh largest ethnic group enrolled in those institutions, with opportunities to pursue various fields of study. However, Libyan students struggle with academic speaking resulting from inadequate prior EFL learning experience characterised by a lack of speaking practice. Consequently, causing communicative incompetency that contributes to language anxiety. Therefore, this study investigates the academic speaking challenges of Libyan students in Malaysian academic settings using an explanatory mixed-mode research design. Data were collected through an online questionnaire, interviews, and a focus group discussion. The research found that Libyan international students faced challenges in academic speaking due to insufficient linguistic knowledge and a lack of prior academic speaking practice. The study further found that the Libyan students’ speaking challenges in the academic setting were affected by cognitive inhibition resulting from communicative incompetency. The qualitative phase of the study revealed that the students were reluctant to engage in academic discourse because of their incompetency in academic speaking skills, which caused anxiety and embarrassment. The study results could inform stakeholders such as the Libyan Ministry of Education about the academic speaking challenges of Libyan students studying abroad. Furthermore, it could lead to improvements in preparatory programs, English teaching practices and materials, and exposure to academic settings in foreign universities to prepare students to further their studies abroad and achieve international academic success.
The Effects of Visual Input and Text Types on the Listening Comprehension of EFL Students in China
Authors: Shaojie Tan , Abd Samad Arshad , Ismail Lilliati
Published: December 2022

In recent years, there has been an interest in using visual input in multimodal applications for language learning. However, the effects of visual input in listening materials remain to be discussed. Past literature has shown no unified answer to the effects of video input in improving listening comprehension scores. Since there are many proposals for the diversified reform of English teaching methods, it is worth examining whether using traditional audio listening only or using different video inputs can bring more significant benefits to students. The subjects of this study are 30 non-English majors in Chinese universities. This paper applied the quantitative research method, testing students’ performance using different listening visual inputs (content, context, and audio only) and different listening text types (monologue and dialogue). Data were analysed using the two-way repeated measures within groups ANOVA. The interaction effects and the main effect of variables on listening performance were examined to explore the impact of visual input and text types on English listening comprehension. The following conclusions are drawn from the data analysis: (1) The interaction effect shows that video and text types significantly affect students’ listening scores. Videos that contain authentic listening scenes and content elements are beneficial to promote listening comprehension as they support students’ interpretation and understanding of what they hear, and (2) It was noted that grouping students by listening proficiency and examining their cultural background would expand the study in the future.

Fish farmers’ dependence on costly formulated fish feed has affected their income. The cost of formulated feed is also constantly rising. Efforts to mass-produce the locally available natural resource, namely water flea (Moina sp.), were initiated as an alternative to the commercially formulated fish feed. This study evaluates the most suitable growth medium for commercially culturing Moina sp. and Chlorella sp. and studies the effect of their growth activity on water quality. In this study, the growth behaviour of Moina sp. and Chlorella sp. was monitored individually before Moina sp. was cultured together with Chlorella sp. in a growth medium. Chlorella sp. was cultured in different mediums (BG-11, Bristol, and organic fertiliser). The first generation of Moina sp. took 96 h to mature and begin to reproduce, while the next generation took a shorter time (from 24h to 48 h). The brood size was between five and 15 neonates, while the maximum brood count recorded was eight. The Chlorella sp. culture had grown well on Day 5 (555.33 ug/L); thus, it was introduced with Moina sp. on Day 6. Although an organic fertiliser medium provided the optimum conditions for Chlorella sp. growth, it slightly inhibited the Moina sp. growth due to higher ammonia (NH3) concentration. However, the organic fertiliser medium could sustain Chlorella sp. growth while being ingested by Moina sp. The growth activity of both species slightly affected the water quality. Meanwhile, the increase in ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2), and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was recorded. In conclusion, organic fertiliser is the best medium for Chlorella sp. growth, which is the main food source for Moina sp. culture.
Jesus the Christ and the Judgment of God in New Testament Theology
Authors: Gunawan Chandra
Published: December 2022

Scholars disagree if there is a New Testament theology. While many scholars claim that there are diversities within NT, some argue that eschatology, especially the teaching about judgment probably can become a theological theme connecting the NT. This article will examine that proposal. The research question is how to understand the role of the teaching of Judgment in the New Testament theology. This article will employ historical-critical exegesis to investigate the teaching of judgment in the NT texts and will argue that, although the teaching of judgment is common in the NT, it is not a core of NT theology; the teaching about Jesus is the central theme of the NT theology.
Regularities in the Development of Soil Biological Activity and Winter Wheat Productivity under Ecologised Fertiliser Systems

Published: December 2022

Restoration and optimisation of soil processes is an important task of modern agriculture and one of the reserves for increasing agricultural production. Under the current conditions, this becomes possible with the integrated introduction of ecologised fertiliser systems. The purpose of the study is to investigate the regularities of the development of biological features of grey forest soil, the interdependencies between them, and the productivity of winter wheat in ecologised fertiliser systems. The following methods were used in the study: field, laboratory and analytical, biochemical, mathematical and statistical. Patterns of changes in situ of cellulolytic, proteolytic, and actual dehydrogenase activities of the soil, the carbon content of labile humus, and the number and weight of winter wheat grains per unit area were similar to each other. There was a decrease in cellulolytic activity, the smallest increase in the remaining biological characteristics of the soil under the use of pea straw, compared to the control. The greatest cellulolytic or proteolytic activity occurred in pea straw + N30P45K45 + biostimulator + humus fertiliser or pea straw + N30P45K45 + biostimulator + microbiological fertiliser, respectively, dehydrogenase – in 2, and the content of labile humus – in the first of these 2 variants. The availability of carbon and nitrogen allowed explaining the identified patterns in a relevant way. The positive Pearson correlation coefficients between plant productivity and soil biological activity, labile humus content, and enzymatic activity, and the insignificant partial correlation coefficients between these variables are partly conditioned by multicollinearity and multivariate interdependencies. In the future, the research would provide a deeper understanding of the patterns of development of biological properties of the soil under ecological fertiliser systems. This would help to improve the elements of greening to adjust the ratio of potential and actual fertility to the optimal level. Scientific results can become a basic basis for the development of effective soil-protecting organic and mineral fertiliser systems for economic and industrial structures of various levels of intensity and financial viability
Erken Tarihli Osmanlı Serhad Kalelerinin Teftişi: Fetihlerini Müteakip Kili ve Akkirman Örnekleri (1491-1505)
Authors: ENGİN Hakan , FEDAKAR Cengiz
Published: December 2022

Osmanlı Devleti’nin Fatih Sultan Mehmet döneminde Rumeli’de ivme kazanan fetihleri, II. Bayezid döneminde de devam etmişti. Tuna-Turla nehirleri havzasında yer alan, gerek ticari gerekse stratejik açıdan önemi büyük olan Kili ve Akkirman kalelerinin ele geçirilmesiyle birlikte Karadeniz bir Türk gölü haline gelmişti. Karadeniz’in en önemli ticaret yollarının kesiştiği bölgede Osmanlı hâkimiyeti sağlanmış, böylelikle Macaristan ve Lehistan’a karşı stratejik üstünlük elde edilmişti. Kili ve Akkirman’ın fethini takiben bu iki önemli liman kenti idari, ekonomik ve askeri manada Osmanlı sistemine entegre edilmiş hatta zikredilen bölgeler en müstahkem serhad kalelerine dönüşmüştü. Osmanlı idaresine geçtikten (1484) kısa bir süre sonra, muhtelif sebeplerle bu iki önemli serhad kalesinin teftişten geçtiğine şahit olmaktayız. Söz konusu teftiş raporu, çalışmamızın temel konusunu teşkil etmiştir. XV. yüzyılın sonlarına tekabül eden defterlerde, kale idarecilerinin bazı usulsüzlüklerinin tahkiki ile birlikte söz konusu kalelerin gelir kaynakları hakkında da ayrıntılı bilgiler sunulmuştur. Dolayısıyla bu teftiş raporları, Osmanlı merkezi yönetiminin serhad kalelerinin idare ve işleyişinin takibine gösterdiği ehemmiyetin yanında, gerek Kili ve Akkirman’a ait erken tarihli bir kayıt olması gerekse bahsi geçen kale teftişlerine ilk referans kaynaklardan olması bakımından önem arz etmektedir.
‘Histórias do Kakwaku’, An experience of collective documentary film-making in the periphery of Luanda, Angola
Authors: Buire Chloé
Published: December 2022

This article reflects on Histórias do Kakwaku, a documentary film about social activism in the urban margins of Luanda, produced as part of a partnership between myself, an academic working on urban citizenship, and an Angolan political youth organisation, Projecto AGIR. The article details the whole process of collective film-making and questions the impact of this method on the film-makers, both individually and collectively. From our initial brainstorming sessions to our final editing decisions on the computer, I show how we slowly drifted away from the initial political objectives dictated by the organisers of Projecto Agir and opened unexpected spaces for engagement that allowed us ‘to see together without claiming to be another’ (Haraway 1991).

Following the chronological steps of collective film-making, we used practice as a point of departure from which to approach storytelling more broadly. Although I provide practical details about our logistics, our equipment and our working documents, this is not a one-size-fits-all recipe for collective documentary film-making. Rather, the focus is on what can be described as an exercise in intersubjective writing, neither entirely under control nor totally serendipitous.

I argue that telling a story in images, words and sounds is a dynamic process, open to constant reinterpretation. Combining the unpredictability of collective writing with the somewhat narrow imperatives of audiovisual storytelling creates an opportunity to question participatory research beyond the binary of the researcher and the researched.
Sustainability: The Role of Spiritual Capital, Transformational Leadership and Effectuation
Authors: Gil-Barragan Juan M. , López-Sánchez María José , Aguilera-Castillo Andrés
Published: December 2022

This study contributes to the sustainability literature by conceptualizing how the individual and collective identities (in terms of spiritual capital and transformational leadership) interact with the sub-dimensions of effectual orientation to achieve sustainable performance. This article uses a sample of 52 cases to analyze the empirical data. Using a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), this article aims to explore some of the complexities underlying sustainable performance. The analysis demonstrates that effectual orientation, spiritual capital, and transformational leadership are important but not sufficient to achieve sustainable performance; rather, it is their interaction that leads to this outcome. Moreover, despite the differences of the firm's resource constraints, the combination of effectual orientation, spiritual capital, and transformational leadership enhance social entrepreneurship.

A partir de los resultados de una investigación doctoral apoyada en una triangulación metodológica, el artículo analiza la producción diferencial de canales estatales locales dentro de las escenas subnacionales de Córdoba y Santa Fe en la región Centro. Con este propósito se enfoca la problemática de la diversidad audiovisual, la oferta de contenidos y las posibilidades de ampliación de públicos, ejes que el sector buscó atender aunque con dificultades. En este sentido, los canales estudiados protagonizaron una búsqueda por mejorar la calidad televisiva en un contexto de convergencia de contenidos, pero no lograron formar una lectura completa del movimiento de las audiencias en el entorno digital. En el texto se exponen los principales problemas para la interpelación de los públicos en el marco de los procesos de adaptación y cambio para la producción audiovisual en general, leídos también desde políticas nacionales y locales que alternativamente jerarquizaron o redujeron al sector.
Anticipar el futuro

Published: December 2022

En este trabajo se realiza una indagación preliminar en los imaginarios tecnológicos relativos al desarrollo de la inteligencia artificial, a partir de ficciones audiovisuales recientes que la tematizan y en donde notamos una inflexión respecto a un tratamiento clásico del tema. Novelas, films, series de televisión, nunca son “mera ficción”, ya que, como hace tiempo mostraron Gerbner y sus colaboradores, las historias enseñan valores, normas e ideologías. Por ello nos propusimos poner en diálogo los relatos ficcionales con una exploración de otro tipo: los imaginarios y discursividades en torno a las tecnologías y el futuro, a partir de un enfoque cualitativo que combinó entrevistas grupales e individuales a jóvenes de entre 16 y 26 años. Las constantes referencias de los entrevistados a films o series televisivas para ejemplificar sus ideas al respecto dejaron claro que, en la tarea de imaginar el futuro, la ficción audiovisual cumple un importante rol.

In the article, the issues of obtaining new anti-corrosion compositions for protecting the bottom of oil storage tanks from corrosion. It is shown that the available domestic materials for the production of anti-corrosion protective coatings have not yet been widely used to protect the equipment of oil production and storage facilities from corrosion. One of the ways to solve this problem is the development of new anti-corrosion compositions based on secondary polymers and some natural resins. The composition of a new composite material for corrosion protection of the bottom of oil storage tanks is proposed. Polymer compositions were obtained by mixing the components in a laboratory multifunctional extruder. Based on spectral studies, a conclusion was made about the structure of the composite, it was shown that the most probable chemical processes occurring in the extruder are the interaction of vinyl acetate with gossypol, its derivatives, as well as molecules of free fatty acids of gossypol resin. The obtained microscopic images of corrosion products on the metal surface of the bottom of the metal of the tank allow us to state that under these conditions, pitting corrosion occurs, the penetration depth of the needle is 4–6 mm/year. The addition of gossypol resin and savilen to the composition of the composite promotes inhibition of the rate of the oxidative degradation process, and additionally increases adhesion to the metal surface by 10-15%. The resulting composition of polymeric anticorrosion compositions based on sevilen, secondary polypropylene, crushed polyethylene terephthalate and gossypol resin is an effective anticorrosion coating and can be used to protect the bottom of oil storage tanks from corrosion.

Used seed disinfectants of agricultural crops, and in particular cotton, do not provide plants with additional nutrient nitrogen and obtain a high yield of raw cotton. In this work, the task is to create an active substance and, on its basis, a preparative form of a composition of a multifunctional action, which simultaneously allows reducing diseases of cotton plants, increasing the accumulation of easily hydrolysable nitrogen in the soil and obtaining a high yield of raw cotton. The purpose. Synthesis and study of the theoretical foundations for obtaining the active substance and the formulation of the composition for dressing cotton seeds based on methylol ureas and molybdenum phytocompounds. Results. The mechanism of influence medium of pH, temperature and storage time on the stability of the preparative form, which ensures high biological efficiency, is substantiated. The mechanism of the influence of the preparative form of a double compound based on monomethylol urea and molybdenum phytocompound on the yield of cotton and the greenhouse effect has been established. It was revealed that during the growing season the composition provides the accumulation in the soil of an additional content of easily hydrolysable nitrogen and mobile forms of phosphorus pentoxide, reduces the release of carbon dioxide into the gas phase and increases the yield of raw cotton. Conclusion. The optimal storage parameters of the composition were determined to ensure high biological efficiency: pH 6.5-7.5, temperature 20 °C and 35 °C, and storage time 3-6 months. A decrease in the release of carbon dioxide in the soil by 22 - 32 mg / m2 per hour and an increase in the yield of cotton by 20.58 % - 37.51 % were established.

Water inhibitors should be used to prevent corrosion of the pipelines and heat exchangers. The phosphorus containing compounds include phosphates, polyphosphate, thiophosphates, pyrophosphates, phosphonates, etc., as the corrosion inhibitors. They are anode inhibitors and, when used on a metal surface, form soluble compounds of oxides, hydroxides and salts, which slow corrosion. The goal of the work. Study the influence of sodium tripolyphosphate concentration on the corrosive aggressiveness in the “Oimash salt – H2O –NaTPP” system, depending on the type of waters used. Methods. The studies have been carried out by the gravimetric method at the room temperature. Results and discussion: It follows from the obtained results that in the marine water with the addition of NaTPP in concentrations from 20 to 100 mg/l within each of the studied concentrations of the Oimash salt, the corrosion rate Vcorr decreases as compared with the control experiment (Vcorr– 0.762mm/year). The results have shown that an increase in the Oimash salt concentration up to 30% in the “Oimash–H2O–NaTPP” salt system leads to an increase in the solution density from 1.090g/cm3 up to 1.165 g/cm3, and the corrosion rate of steel is reduced intensively. At sodium tripolyphosphate concentrations of up to 250 mg/l, Vcorr decreases down to 125 mm/a and at specified CNATPP the protection level is 83.58%. The addition of NaTPP to the “Oimash Salt – Waste H2O” system increases the corrosion rate of steel, while the corrosion rate of steel relative to the test experience decreases 0.118-0.165 mm/year. The highest protection (50.6%) is achieved at CNaTPP = 20 mg/l. Conclusions: In the composite systems a high degree of protection is found in marine (83.58%) water. The marine water with the additives of Oimash salt and NaTPP can be used for the preparation of the composite fluids jamming.
Orientalist Ambivalence
Authors: Van der Deijl Lucas
Published: December 2022

This article compares the first two Dutch translations of the Qur’an printed in the Dutch Republic: De Arabische Alkoran (1641) published by Barent Adriaensz Berentsma and Mahomets Alkoran (1657) published by Jan Rieuwertsz. It builds upon previous bibliographic research by quantifying the abbreviation of the Surahs in the two editions, identifying the sources of the paratexts, and describing the different strategies for translation. This analysis reveals how different editing choices reflect contradictory ideological attitudes among the publishers and translators involved. These producers of the first Qur’an translations echoed the widespread hostility towards Islam in Western discourses while also highlighting the peaceful nature of Muhammad and the similarities between the Bible and the Qur’an. This ‘Orientalist ambivalence’ not only resonated in local debates about freedom of conscience among Amsterdam Mennonites, but also signalled a more fundamental epistemological uncertainty following the rise of Cartesianism in the Dutch Early Enlightenment.
Green is More than the Colour of the Bottle

Published: December 2022

‘Going green’ has been an important issue for business since the last decade of the twentieth century, but also earlier, companies had to deal with environmental concerns or took measures that had an environmental impact, either positive or negative. Based on archival research, this article looks at the way the Dutch brewer Heineken has reacted to a number of environmental issues during its long history and how it has responded to the evolving concept of sustainability. The article shows that in some cases the company reacted defensively, but in others it was proactive, especially when environmentally friendly measures offered opportunities for innovation. All these measures were taken in the hope of being allowed to keep growing the business.
Sinds het laatste decennium van de twintigste eeuw is ‘vergroenen’ een belangrijk onderwerp geworden voor het bedrijfsleven, maar ook in eerdere periodes moesten bedrijven milieuproblemen aanpakken of namen zij maatregelen die een positief of negatief effect op het milieu hadden. Dit artikel bespreekt, op basis van archiefonderzoek, op welke manier de Nederlandse brouwer Heineken gedurende zijn lange geschiedenis omging met een aantal milieukwesties en hoe hij reageerde op het steeds veranderende concept duurzaamheid. Het artikel laat zien dat deze onderneming in sommige gevallen defensief reageerde, maar in andere proactief, vooral wanneer het nemen van maatregelen een mogelijkheid tot innovatie inhield. Dit alles gebeurde in de hoop dat de onderneming mocht blijven groeien.

To establish the mass flow to a reciprocating compressor there are several relationships used in the construction and analysis of these types of compressors. The use of relationships is based on the geometric elements of the compressor. It is also necessary to know the composition of the gas and the operating conditions with which: the adiabatic exponent, the volumetric efficiencies and the compressibility factor are determined. The paper aims to establish the compressor mass flow with the help of modern means. The modeling was done in the LMS Amesim program. We use elements from the library of program to create a virtual model of the compression system. A comparison is made with the results obtained by the classical methods. The results show that there are no big differences between the values of the mass flow obtained through the usual relations and those obtained based on the realized model, that includes the main elements necessary for a precise calculation. However, the proposed method opens a wider horizon of understanding of the compression system through direct correspondence with the real model and the graphical possibilities of displaying the time variation of the system characteristics.

The Oil and Gas industry is pursuing major changes in automation, with the aim of reducing the risk involved in operations and increasing efficiency, speeding up processes to reduce costs. Internationally and especially in the Offshore environment, deposits with high productive potential are targeted, which are put into operation through a small number of wells with a high flow rate, due to the complexity of marine drilling. The high costs in this sector of the industry make it necessary to optimize all operational times, thus we very often encounter automation elements in the marine drilling process. This work intends to present the advantages of using the Simulink program package in the simulation of the processes, respectively of the maneuver operation in a drilling installation, to predict their real behavior.

"In Romania, the oil refineries were designed to process the crude oil extracted from the deposits located in their immediate vicinity (Suplacu de Barcău Refinery, 1 Mai Refinery, Câmpina Refinery, Vega Refinery and Dărmănești Refinery), to process crude oil imported from external oil basins (Onești Refinery, Brazi Refinery, Teleajen Refinery, Midia Refinery and Pitești Refinery) and to process crude oil from the Muntenia and Oltenia oil basins (Brazi Refinery and Pitești refinery). The closing of some refineries after 1990, the reduction of crude oil imports and especially the tightening of the quality conditions of the delivered petroleum products (the need to reduce the sulphur content of petroleum products, the use of bio-fuels) led to the reconsideration of deliveries to the refineries that remained in operation, through the creation of mixtures of crude oils extracted from Romania (for the Brazi Refinery) and the import of crude oil mixtures for the Teleajen and Midia Refineries, which would ensure the new quality conditions of finished petroleum products. The article describe how to create crude oil blends according to refinery requirements, using both classical estimation methods and genetic algorithms to determine the variation in the properties of these blends.

Abstract. Most mid-latitude mountain glaciers reached their maximum extent around the global Last Glacial Maximum (gLGM). However, some also strongly responded to the regional climate change or local non-climatic factors such as topography, leading to asynchronous maximum advances. This study documents the maximum extent and chronology of two paleoglaciers in the Ih Bogd massif of Mongolia: one facing north into the Jargalant Valley and the other facing south into the Ih Artsan valley. 10Be surface exposure age dating revealed that the Ih Artsan short valley glacier reached its maximum position (MIh1) around 20.1 ± 0.7 ka, coinciding with the gLGM. In contrast, the Jargalant paleoglacier (MJ1) reached its maximum extent around 17.2 ± 1.5 ka, around Heinrich 1 stadial and during the post-gLGM northern hemisphere warming. Our 2D ice surface model, which includes the temperature-index melt model, suggests that an aspect can result in a melt difference between north and south-facing slopes. Glaciers retreated from their maximum modeled extent asynchronously when we assign a 0.5 ℃ lower temperature for Jargalant valley (northern slope), based on the observation that present-day mean annual Jargalant temperatures are lower than in the south-facing Ih Arstan. Modelled timing of the maximum extents (20.23 ka in Ih Artsan, 17.13 ka in Jargalant) are consistent with 10Be exposure age results (20.1 ka in Ih Artsan, 17.2 ka in Jargalant). We also observed several sequences of post LGM or/and Holocene moraines in both cirques. Extremely old ages ranging from 636.2 ka to 35.9 ka were measured for the inner moraines in the Jargalant cirque (MJ2–MJ4), suggesting a problem with inheritance from boulders eroded from the summit plateau.

Abstract. This work presents a methodology to evaluate the effect of wrinkle defects in the stiffness response of laminate characteristic of wind turbine blades. The assessment is carried out through numerical models and experimental tests with coupon specimens embedded with artificial wrinkles. Specimens are manufactured with two types of defects, prone to arising along the manufacturing process of wind turbine blades. Image-based numerical models were built to enclose the actual features of the cross-sectional wrinkling of each defect type. Experimental quasi-static tension and compression tests were performed, where extensometers collect the strain distribution about the wrinkle section as around the flat section of the test specimens. Two-dimensional finite element simulations carried out in Abaqus/Standard captured the stiffness behaviour of the two types of wrinkles. The numerical approach is validated against the quasi-static tests retrieving a fair agreement with experimental data. A significant knock-down in the stiffness response was found due to the wrinkle with larger aspect ratio of amplitude / half-wavelength.
Muhasebe Hilelerinin Küresel Maliyeti ve Önlenmesine Yönelik Proaktif Bir Yaklaşım: Adli Muhasebe

Muhasebe hileleri özellikle 21.yy’da Enron ve Worldcom gibi büyük işletmelerin de dâhil olmasıyla, yaşadığımız yüzyılda gelişen teknolojiye bağlı olarak finansal sistemlerde yaşanan gelişmeler ve küreselleşmenin de etkisiyle dünyanın her yerindeki kurumları etkileyen küresel bir problem haline gelmiştir ve küresel çapta ve devasa büyüklükte ekonomik kayıplara yol açmaktadır. Muhasebe hilelerinin tespiti ve önlenmesinde kullanılabilecek yaklaşımlar genellikle Reaktif ve Proaktif Yaklaşım olmak üzere iki başlık altında toplanmaktadır. Reaktif yaklaşımda, hile belirtileri ortaya çıktıktan sonra ayrıntılı bir hile incelemesi yapılmaktadır. Oysa hilenin devam ettiği süre ile meydana gelen ekonomik kayıp arasında doğrusal bir ilişki bulunmakta ve bu nedenle hilenin erken tespit edilebilmesi önem kazanmaktadır. Proaktif yaklaşımda hile yapmak için olası fırsat ve tehditler oluşmadan görülebilmekte, olabilecekler tahmin edilerek önlem alınmaktadır.

Dünya üzerinde birçok ülkede bir meslek olarak kabul gören adli muhasebe, yabancı literatürde proaktif yaklaşımlar arasında yer almakta ve muhasebe hilelerinin tespiti ve önlenmesinde etkin bir rol oynamaktadır. Ancak Türkiye’de bir meslek olarak görmeyen ve henüz tam anlamıyla uygulama alanı bulamayan adli muhasebenin Türkçe literatürde proaktif yaklaşımlar arasında bu nedenle yer almadığı düşünülmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı, adli muhasebenin Türkiye'de yasal bir yapıya kavuşturulması ve Türkçe literatürde de proaktif yaklaşımlar arasında yer alması gerektiği konusunda bir farkındalık yaratmaktır.

The purpose of this study is to study the ionic composition of the surface waters of the river basin Chegem on the territory of the Kabardino-Balkarian State Reserve during the period of intensive melting of glaciers. The objects of study were watercourses located on the territory of the reserve from two sources to the exit of the river to the plain at a distance of 87 km to the confluence with the waters of the river. Baksan. Hydrochemical indicators of water quality and suitability for various purposes have been obtained. River waters of Chegem belong to the class of calcium bicarbonate group, fresh waters with low hardness, which do not contain dangerous levels of biogenic compounds. In 2020, a study of the waters of the river. Chegem and its tributaries in the summer from the sources (left and right), forming the beginning of the river to the mouth zone. The content of the main ions was determined by chemical analysis methods. The article presents the results of observations of an increase in the concentrations of macrocomponents and inorganic compounds of nitrogen downstream the river. It was revealed that the increase in concentrations is associated with the conditions of interaction of rocks with melt and river waters. An assessment of the suitability of waters for various purposes was carried out.

Today, the whole world strives to create a unified democratic society, as only in democratic regimes do citizens have a direct and indirect opportunity to participate in the direct development of their state, as well as to solve the most important issues for their country, but these theses are mainly adhered to by the countries of Europe and North America in which democratic political regimes without radical changes. At the same time, there is an analogue of a democratic political regime as an authoritarian or totalitarian dictatorship, in which units have access to solving state issues, but despite this, both types of political regimes are present in the world. The purpose of this work is a comprehensive and comprehensive analysis of dictatorial and democratic regimes in Republican Spain and the Kingdom of Greece, to compare them, as well as the impact that was exerted on the overall situation of the country as a whole, as well as on the reaction of neighboring countries and other countries to the policies of these countries.
