The Tianshan Mountains, known as the “water tower” of Central Asia, are the major source of water for the most part of Xinjiang and oasis region of Central Asia. However, climate warming has amplified the discharges of glacial meltwater in the Tianshan Mountains. In this study, we calculated river discharge by integrating cross-sections mapped using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and water velocity data collected in the field. Multiple remote sensing images, such as Landsat and Sentinel-2 imagery, were applied to estimate the long-term discharge of 19 river sections in ungauged regions of the Tianshan Mountains. River discharge variations under climate change were also examined. Using our in-situ measured discharges as reference, the UAV derived discharge results have an NSE (Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency) of 0.98, an RMSE (root mean square error) of 8.49 m3/s, and an average qualification rate of 80%. The monthly discharge of glacial meltwater-dominated river sections showed an average decrease of 2.46% during 1989–2019. The shrinking and even disappearance of mountain glaciers (approximately −4.98 km2/year) was the main reasons for the decrease trend. However, the precipitation-dominated river sections showed an average increase of 2.27% for the same period. The increase in precipitation (approximately 1.93 mm/year) was the key cause for the increase tendency. This study highlights remote sensing hydrological station technology and its application in the long-term prediction of river discharge, which is critical for decision-making regarding integrated water resource management in alpine regions.

Published: June 2021

This paper presents a novel procedure for the treatment of contaminated water with high concentrations of nitrates, which are considered as one of the main causes of the eutrophication phenomena. For this purpose, magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with silver (Fe3O4@AgNPs) were synthesized and used as an adsorbent of nitrates. Experimental conditions, including the pH, adsorbent and adsorbate dose, temperature and contact time, were analyzed to obtain the highest adsorption efficiency for different concentration of nitrates in water. A maximum removal efficiency of 100% was reached for 2, 5, 10 and 50 mg/L of nitrate at pH = 5, room temperature, and 50, 100, 250 and 500 µL of Fe3O4@AgNPs, respectively. The characterization of the adsorbent, before and after adsorption, was performed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Nitrates can be desorbed, and the adsorbent can be reused using 500 µL of NaOH solution 0.01 M, remaining unchanged for the first three cycles, and exhibiting 90% adsorption efficiency after three regenerations. A deep study on equilibrium isotherms reveals a pH-dependent behavior, characterized by Langmuir and Freundlich models at pH = 5 and pH = 1, respectively. Thermodynamic studies were consistent with physicochemical adsorption for all experiments but showed a change from endothermic to exothermic behavior as the temperature increased. Interference studies of other ions commonly present in water were carried out, enabling this procedure as very selective for nitrate ions. In addition, the method was applied to real samples of seawater, showing its ability to eliminate the total nitrate content in eutrophized waters.
Medical and demographic indicators of the Orenburg Region
Authors: Grigorieva Lyubov Kuzminichna , Kuzmin Sergey Aleksandrovich
Published: June 2021

The analysis of the medical and demographic indicators of the Orenburg Region from 2015 to 2019 showed that over this time period, there was a gradual process of population decline. The dynamics of the birth and death rates of the population was characterized by a stable decline. Over a five-year period, the birth rate decreased by 30.78 %, and the death rate by 8.8 %. The natural population growth in 2015 was positive, and since 2016, there has been a negative population growth, i.e. the number of citizens who died annually exceeded the number of births. The region has seen slight changes in the ratio of urban and rural residents. Life expectancy has increased for both sexes from 69.63 years in 2015 to 72.04 years in 2019. The growth of this indicator for men was 4.31 %, and for women — 2.43 %. Studies of the sex composition of the population of the Orenburg Region over the past five years have demonstrated that there have been minor changes in the ratio of the male and female population in the region under study. So, in 2015 and 2016, there were 1149 women per 1000 men; in 2017–1148, in 2018–1147, in 2019–1146. Over the studied period, the number of marriages registered in the Orenburg Region decreased from a maximum of 15418 in 2015 to a minimum of 12304 in 2019, which was 20.2 %. The number of divorces did not decrease so rapidly, from 8,717 maximum in 2015 to 8,424 minimum in 2019, which was 3.36 %. The adoption of managerial decisions aimed at improving the standard of living and health of the population, as well as the environmental situation at the level of legislative and executive authorities will contribute to an increase in life expectancy, reduction in the death rate, and an increase in the birth rate of the population.

The purpose of the research is to study the features of comorbid status in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 5 on programmed hemodialysis (PHD) and its impact on quality of life (QOL). Methodology: we examined 86 patients (60 men and 26 women) with CKD Stage 5 receiving PHD treatment. The average age of the patients was 55.5±13.9 years. The study protocol included an assessment of the QOL level according to the KDQOL-SF™ questionnaire, the comorbidity index according to M.E. Charlson (CCI), clinical and instrumental studies in accordance with clinical guidelines. Results: the most common causes of CKD Stage 5 in the examined patients were chronic glomerulonephritis and diabetes mellitus (26.7% each), tubulointerstitial renal diseases (23.3%) and polycystic kidney disease (13.3%). High and medium levels of CCI were found in 67.4% of the examined patients. Among the comorbidities, cardiovascular diseases rank first (51.2%). QOL of patients with CKD Stage 5 on PHD was characterized by the lowest scores on the scales of physical functioning and the burden of kidney disease. Correlation analysis revealed that comorbidities in patients with CKD Stage 5 who are on PHD negatively affect their QOL. Conclusion: the obtained results can be used in planning and organizing the provision of medical care to patients with CKD. The introduction of the used QOL and CCI assessment methods in the protocol for the management of patients with CKD Stage 5 in dialysis centers will make it possible to monitor the individual QOL indicators of patients, evaluate the effectiveness of patient treatment and correct it in a timely manner.

Authors: Gizinger O. A.
Published: June 2021

The term «acute respiratory viral infections» refers to a group of diseases
whose etiological agents are respiratory viruses, mainly affecting the epithelium of the
upper respiratory tract. The article presents the results of studying the effectiveness of
the drug Nobazit® in 32 patients with body temperature > 37.5 °C having at least one catarrhal symptom (cough, rhinitis, or sore throat) and one symptom of intoxication
(chills, sweating, malaise, weakness, or headache) who consulted a doctor within
the first 48 hours from the onset of symptoms of an acute respiratory viral infection.
The use of the drug Nobazit® (enisamium iodide) allowed to reduce the severity of
clinical manifestations, eliminate lymphopenia, normalize factors of innate and adaptive
immunity, and restore the receptor landscape of peripheral blood lymphocytes. The
registered clinical and immunological efficacy of the drug Nobazit® allows recommending
its inclusion in the complex therapy of acute respiratory infections.

Published: June 2021

The methodological recommendations are devoted to the application of low-energy laser irradiation (LELI) and thermotherapy for neurogenic bladder dysfunction in children (NBD). As a result of the studies, the high therapeutic efficiency of the combined use of low-energy laser irradiation and thermotherapy for neurogenic bladder dysfunction in children has been proven. For the first time, the scientific substantiation of the complex application of such methods of physiotherapy as laser therapy and thermotherapy for neurogenic dysfunction of the bladder in children is given; the therapeutic effectiveness of these physical factors in the complex treatment of NBD in children is studied. The influence of laser therapy and thermotherapy on the clinical course of NBD in children, the state of urodynamics, and the speed characteristics of the act of urination were revealed. The optimal parameters of the exposure, differentiated indications and contraindications to the method have been developed. The methodological recommendations are intended for physiotherapists, pediatricians, urologists, nephrologists of children’s medical and preventive institutions (hospital, polyclinic, rehabilitation center, health resort institutions).
Les enfants du palais
Authors: Ziegler Nele
Published: June 2021

Les archives du palais de Mari nous offrent une documentation abondante sur les enfants de Zimrî-Lîm lorsqu’il s’agit de princesses, données en mariage à un vassal du roi de Mari. En revanche, elles restent plutôt discrètes sur les enfants en bas âge. Les informations que nous possédons proviennent surtout de la documentation relative au monde féminin. Cet article traite d’abord de la naissance des enfants royaux et des présents que reçoivent leurs mères ; le choix du nom de ces enfants reflète des traditions familiales. Pendant leurs premières années, ces enfants étaient confiés à des nourrices, qui les élevaient en dehors du palais ; la mortalité infantile frappait même dans des milieux aussi privilégiés. L’implication des enfants dans la vie politique est traitée pour terminer.
Réunion et délibération. La représentation des assemblées chez Thucydide
Authors: Frazier Françoise
Published: June 2021

L’intérêt suscité par les antilogies de Thucydide a généralement éclipsé le cadre dans lequel elles sont prononcées. Cette étude, au contraire, s’attache, dans un premier temps, à déterminer grâce au vocabulaire et aux formules récurrentes, ce que Thuc. retient du déroulement des assemblées (réunion, débat, décision). Des deux termes qui les désignent, ξύλλογος est le plus général et le seul valable pour les congrès des alliés, tandis que ἐκκλησία désigne l’assemblée des citoyens, à Sparte comme à Athènes ; le choix entre les deux n’est guère significatif qu’en 411, au moment où les institutions sont mises en cause ; en revanche Thuc. signale plus précisément les convocations, distingue, lors de tension entre polloi et oligoi, δῆμος et βουλή, insiste sur l’existence d’un débat (avec ἀντιλέγειν) et sur la force de persuasion de certains.

La seconde partie de l’étude est consacrée à la délibération elle-même et comporte une analyse détaillée des emplois de βουλεύειν et de βουλεόεσθαι. Dans les relations internationales, l’actif marque en particufier le pouvoir de décision abandonné au vainqueur par la reddition des vaincus, tandis que le moyen, souvent renforcé par κοινῇ, évoque la concertation entre alliés. Dans la cité, deux points sont à souligner : la disparition de ia délibération — et du moyen — dans le récit des événements de 411 et l’accent mis sur la «bonne délibération», avec une conception différente de l'euboulia à Sparte et à Athènes.
Peut-on se fier aux «fragments» d’historiens ? L’exemple des citations d’Hérodote
Authors: Lenfant Dominique
Published: June 2021

L’examen de citations de l’oeuvre d’Hérodote permet de juger des traitements subis par l’original et met en lumière des problèmes de méthode essentiels à l’interprétation des fragments d’historiens (sélection et découpage, fidélité à la lettre et à l’esprit, particularités des intermédiaires). Il invite à rectifier l’impression que donnent les œuvres uniquement connues par fragments et dicte des règles de méthode pour leur appréciation.
La conception du jardin en Syro-Mésopotamie à partir des textes
Authors: Besnier Marie-Françoise
Published: June 2021

Cet article se propose de dégager certains traits caractéristiques de la conception du jardin à partir d’une étude terminologique succincte, puis de la présentation des deux principales catégories de jardin du Proche Orient antique, les jardins divins et les jardins royaux. Le choix d’une échelle chronologique particulièrement large, du Dynastique Archaïque III aux règnes des souverains néo-assyriens, se justifie par la volonté de mettre en valeur l’évolution de la conception du jardin à travers les âges. Ainsi, les onze termes désignant le jardin font progressivement leur apparition dans les textes et tendent donc à préciser le concept. Par ailleurs, le jardin, souvent considéré comme un lieu sacré, rattaché au temple dans de nombreuses situations, et présenté, à travers les textes «littéraires», comme le lieu de séjour privilégié des dieux, se laïcise progressivement pour devenir, au Ier millénaire, un lieu de séjour royal. Grâce à une perspective évolutive, permettant également de dégager points communs et divergences entre ces deux catégories, on peut présenter ici certains éléments caractéristiques de la représentation et du symbolisme du jardin.
Argos. Eine griechische Demokratie des fünften Jahrhunderts v. Chr.
Authors: Leppin H.
Published: June 2021

Für Argos bildete das 5. Jahrhundert eine Zeit des Wiederaufstiegs. Zugleich entwickelte sich eine demokratische Verfassung, die mit einer Wandlung des politischen Raums der Agora einherging. Die argivische Demokratie ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß Beamte eine relativ starke Stellung einnehmen. Von den beiden Räte — der βωλά und den „Achtzig“ — scheint der erstere im Zuge der Demokratisierung geschwàcht worden zu sein. Für die herkömmliche Deutung der „Achtzig“ als Adelsrat gibt es kein verläßliches Argument, eher dürfte es sich um ein jüngeres Organ gehandelt haben. Auf jeden Fall besitzt die argivische Demokratie ganz eigenständige Züge und kann nicht als Nachahmung des athenischen Modells gelten.
Pausanias à Délos ou un chapitre recomposé du livre imaginé des Kykladika
Authors: Jacquemin Anne
Published: June 2021

In seiner Beschreibung Griechenlands gibt Pausanias genug Auskünfte über Delos, um ein Bild im Spiegel der Insel beizubringen, das der gewohnlichen Thematik des Schriftstellers folgt, d.h. Erdkunde und Naturwissenschaft, Geschichte von den sagenhaften Zeiten ab, Kultbräuche und Sehenwürdigkeiten im Gebiet der Architektur und der Skulptur. Die meisten Erkundigungen können schon bei früheren Quellen gefunden werden ; Pausanias bringt doch einen Begriff der heiligen Insel vor, den er zwar mit einigen seiner Zeitgenossen teilt, und der zu der alläglichen Wirklichkeit nicht paßt. Delos wird zu einer göttlichen, von fast keinen Menschen bewohnten Insel, zu einer reiner Erinnerung an eine mit allen Griechen gemeine Markt.
Combien y avait-il d’agoras à Délos ?
Authors: Marc Jean-Yves
Published: June 2021

Le nombre d'agoras identifiées à Délos (agora des Déliens ou agora tétragone, agora des Italiens, agora de Théophrastos, agora des Compétaliastes ou des Hermaïstes) a de quoi surprendre, d'autant plus que l'agora civique de l'époque de l'indépendance n'est pas encore placée avec certitude. Après avoir repris les questions d'interprétation de ces différentes places, l'auteur propose de restituer un vaste espace au Sud du sanctuaire, de la place de Tritopatôs jusqu'à la ligne de rivage et à l'édifice archaïque récemment identifié sous l'îlot XII : il s'agit de l'agora de la cité de Délos, qui accueillait des activités aussi bien politiques que commerciales. La construction du portique Sud, du portique de Philippe et du portique coudé de l'agora tétragone a entraîné un morcellement de ce vaste espace.
Der bestrafte Cupido und Psyche
Authors: Simon Erika
Published: June 2021

Au centre de cet article se trouve un tableau célèbre de Pompéi à Naples, une œuvre du 3e style, la punition de l’Amour. Il présente deux personnages féminins, l’un debout, l’autre assis, dans un paysage arcadien, chacun, croyait-on, accompagné d’un Amorputto. Le premier personnage surveille la corvée de Cupidon pleurant, dont l’arme, un gorytos, repose sur le giron de Vénus. Un dessin de 1864 ne présente plus de détails visibles de l’enfant ailé sur l’épaule de Vénus ; il faut y reconnaître Psyché. Comme sur de nombreux parallèles, Psyché a été maltraitée par Cupidon et s’est réfugiée auprès de Némésis. La déesse de la vengeance l’a entendue.
À propos de la mosaïque de Palestrina et des pylônes égyptiens sans mâts
Authors: Traunecker Claude
Published: June 2021

Datum und Bedeutung der grosse nilotische Mosaïk von Palestrina waren oftmals untersucht. Diese Landschaft ist die Zusammensetzung von verschiedenen ägyptischen exotische Bildem : Ziegeltürmen, Prozessions und Tempel. . . Aber außer Alexandria und seine Häfen sind die abgebildeten Orten nicht erkennbar. Der Pylon der “neo-pharaonische” Tempel besizt keine Flaggenmasten. Dieser Detail ist nicht eine Kunstlerfantaisie. Die Flaggenmastennischen der machtige Pylon von Edfou, trotz ihnen Weiheinschrifften, sind leer gebleiben und bei Decorationkampagne unter Ptolemee XII (57 v.C.) hat man die Öffnung fur die Flaggenmastenklammem versperrt und mit Texte und Fifuren überdeckt. In der ptolemaïscher und römische zeit sind die Pylonen mit Nischen ohne Flaggenmasten nicht selten gewesen.
André Chastagnol et l’onomastique des citoyens des communautés de droit latin
Authors: Gascou Jacques
Published: June 2021

On tente dans cette communication de mettre en lumière les résultats des recherches d’A. Chastagnol sur l’onomastique des citoyens des communautés dotées du droit latin. Ce savant a prouvé que les «Latins» possèdent normalement une onomastique pérégrine, ce qui confirme qu’ils sont, juridiquement parlant, des pérégrins. Il a émis une opinion très neuve sur les conséquences, dans le cas de mariages «mixtes », du conubium sur la condition, et donc sur l’onomastique, des enfants issus de tels mariages, ouvrant de nouvelles pistes de recherche et offrant une vaste matière à de futurs débats. Il a enfin montré la variété, la liberté et la souplesse avec lesquelles les «Latins» promus à la citoyenneté romaine choisissaient leur gentilice.
«Monsieur Le Grec» en Étrurie
Authors: Briquel Dominique
Published: June 2021

Le nom Creice (ou des formes analogues) n’est pas rare dans les inscriptions étrusques. Mais les personnes qui étaient ainsi désignées comme «grecques» n’appartenaient presque jamais aux couches supérieures de la société : c’étaient presque toujours des affranchis. Le goût qu’avaient les Étrusques pour la culture grecque n’a pas conduit à ce qu’on pût se vanter d’une origine grecque, c’est-à-dire non locale. Le mépris pour les étrangers, que les Romains reprochaient aux Étrusques, se fait sentir même dans ce cas.
Ville et campagne. Réflexions sur la salubrité chez les médecins grecs
Authors: Magdelaine Caroline
Published: June 2021

This paper tries to examine whether Greek physicians understood the different spaces that are town and country from the point of view of salubrity. The physicians of the Hippocratic Corpus were the first to draw up a typology of the various cities according to their local factors (in particular Airs, Waters and Places), but their analysis remains abstract and does not oppose town and country in order to compare them. It is only with the physicians of the imperial period (Athenaeus of Attaleia, Sabinus, Antyllus and Galen) that a comparative study of these two spaces appears. These physicians borrowed the hippocratic analyses but refined them ; they are conscious of the harmful influence which Rome or Alexandria, for instance, can have on their environment even though they admitted that cities can be more salubrious owing to the number of physicians and to a more regular supply system (Galen). But they also opposed town and country as far as the quality of air was concerned, to the detriment of the town considered as more unhealthy than the country since it was a built space, causing exhalations (Athenaeus). Nevertheless, this opposition can be reduced by a “medical urbanism” capable of correcting the annoyances inherent in the town and making the town as healthy as the country.
Covid-19 Sürecinde Turist Rehberlerinin Çalışma Motivasyonları ve Yaşam Doyumlarının Analizi
Authors: ÇETİNKAYA Öznur , İSTANBULLU DİNÇER Fatma Füsun
Published: June 2021

Amaç ve Önem: Covid-19 sürecinde ulusal ve uluslararası anlamda uygulanan kısıtlamalar, ekonomik zorluklar turizm faaliyetlerini durma noktasına getirmiştir. Bu zorlu süreçte oteller, acenteler ayakta durmakta zorlanırken turist rehberleri de devletin sunduğu destek kredi paketinden yararlanmaya çalışmıştır. Bu süreçte rehberlerin hala az sayıda da olsa tura çıktığı, çalıştığı bilinmektedir. Ancak içinde bulunulan durumda rehberlerin çalışma motivasyonunun ve yaşam doyumlarının ne durumda olduğu merak konusudur. Bu çalışmanın amacı Covid-19 sürecinde rehberlerin çalışma motivasyonlarını ve yaşam doyumlarını analiz etmek ve aralarındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktır. Yöntem: Araştırma kapsamında kartopu örnekleme tekniği ile 302 adet anket çevrimiçi form olarak toplanmış; çarpıklık basıklık değerleri incelenerek fark testleri, açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, yol analizi, regresyon değerleri ile değişkenlerin yapısı ve ilişki durumu ortaya koyulmuştur.Bulgular: Rehberlerin çalışma motivasyonları ile yaşam doyumları arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu bu bağlamda motivasyon yüksek olursa yaşam doyumunun da yüksek hissedileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Özgünlük/Bilimsel Katkı: Covid-19 süreci ile birlikte rehberlerin çalışma motivasyonlarının, literatürdeki araştırmalardan farklılık göstererek, zevk ve eğlence boyutuyla öne çıktığı görülmüştür.

Published: June 2021

Amaç ve Önem: Kanun ve yönetmeliği bulunan mesleklerin yaygın kabul gören değerleri ve kendine has imajları bulunmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın amacı; sürekli yenilik, değişim ve mükemmellik anlayışının hâkim olduğu günümüzde Çanakkale ilinde turizm sektörü içinde bulunan paydaşların gözünden profesyonel turist rehberi meslek imaj algısını belirlemektir.Yöntem: Araştırmada nitel araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama tekniği olarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda Çanakkale’de ikamet eden 19 turizm paydaşı ile 25 Ocak- 1 Şubat 2020 tarihleri arasında yüz yüze görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi ile analiz edilmiş ve çeşitli sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır.Bulgular: Araştırmada turist rehberlerinin en belirgin kişilik özellikleri güler yüzlülük ve liderlik olarak algılanırken, mesleki özelliklerinden ise sabırlı ve iletişimi güçlü olmasının ön plana çıktığı tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların turist rehberliği mesleğini özgürlükçü ve gelir düzeyinin yüksek olması gibi nedenlerden dolayı çekici buldukları görülmüştür.Özgünlük/Bilimsel Katkı: Bu çalışma turizm paydaşları gözünden Profesyonel turist rehberi imaj algısının belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre rehberlerin kendilerinde eksik gördüğü yanlarının daha kolay ve hızlı telafi edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Ayrıca, turist rehberlerinin güçlü yönlerini görüp bu yönlerini tanıtım ve hizmet pazarlaması anlamında kullanabilmeleri açısından çalışma önem arz etmektedir. Sadece turist rehberleri değil, turist rehberlerinin bağlı bulundukları odaların ve dolayısıyla Türkiye Turist Rehberleri Bitliğinin (TUREB) de bünyelerinde üyelikleri bulunan turist rehberlerinin zayıf ve güçlü yönlerini görüp bu anlamda uzmanlaşma ve eğitim semineri planlamaları konusunda dayanak oluşturması anlamında çalışma ayrıca bir önem arz etmektedir. Literatürde benzer bir çalışmaya rastlanmamasından dolayı literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
İş-Aile Rol Çatışması ve Kariyer Devamlılığı İlişkisi: Kadın Turist Rehberleri Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: DEMİREL Nilgün , YUMUK Yurdanur , HACIOĞLU Necdet
Published: June 2021

Amaç ve Önem: Araştırmanın temel amacı evli kadın turist rehberlerinin iş-aile rol çatışması algıları ile kariyer devamlılığı eğilimleri arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktır. Türkiye’de seyahat acentelerine bağlı veya bağımsız olarak çalışan kadın turist rehberlerinin sayısının erkek turist rehberlerine oranla az olması, turist rehberliği mesleğinin erkek mesleği olarak görülmesi ve kadın turist rehberlerinin üstlendikleri çoklu roller gereği iş-aile çatışması yaşamaları ve bu nedenle mesleklerini devam ettirememeleri kadın turist rehberlerinin sorunları üzerine odaklanmayı gerekli kılmaktadır.Yöntem: Araştırmada amaca uygun olarak nitel (kalitatif) araştırma yöntemi ve olgu bilim (fenomenoloji) araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. Örneklemin belirlenmesinde amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden olan kartopu örnekleme tercih edilmiştir. Yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat formu aracılığı ile yüz yüze ve telefonla görüşmeler sonucu elde edilen veri, MAXQDA (demo) nitel veri analiz programı ile değerlendirilmiştir. Veri analiz stratejisi olarak içerik analizinden yararlanılmıştır.Bulgular: Betimsel analizler sonucunda kadın turist rehberlerinin en çok bahsettiği alt tema çocuklar ve eş olarak saptanmıştır. Kadın turist rehberlerinin daha çok düşük düzeyde gerilim temelli çatışma yaşadıkları ortaya konmuştur. Çoğunlukla aile-iş çatışmasının yaşandığı, ailevi sorumlulukların iş ile ilgili sorumlulukların önüne geçtiği belirlenmiştir. İlişkisel analiz sonucunda eşi turizm sektöründe çalışan veya turist rehberi olan kadın turist rehberlerinin kariyerlerini sürdürmek istedikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bazı kadın turist rehberleri ise çocuklarına yeterince vakit ayıramamak, ailevi ilişkilerini dengede tutamamak veya uzun süreli turlara çıkmak gibi nedenlerle kariyerlerini sürdürmek istemediklerini belirtmişlerdir.Özgünlük/Bilimsel Katkı: Turist rehberliği üzerine yapılan ve özellikle kadın turist rehberlerinin sorunlarını iş aile çatışması ve kariyer devamlılığı ilişkisi açısından ele alan çalışmaların yetersizliği nedeniyle araştırmanın literatüre ve sektöre önemli katkılar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.Sınırlılıklar: Araştırmaya yalnızca Türkiye’deki eylemli kadın ve evli turist rehberlerinin dâhil edilmiş olması araştırmanın en önemli kısıtını oluşturmaktadır. Uygulanabilirlik: Sosyal bilimlerde gerçekleştirilen araştırmalarda “kültür” olgusunun araştırma sonucunu etkileyen son derece önemli bir faktör olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Bu nedenle, araştırmanın kadına farklı anlamlar yüklendiği Batı kültürlerinde tekrar edilmesinin araştırma sonucunu değiştirebileceği düşünülmektedir. Seyahat acentelerinin daha fazla sayıda turist rehberi çalıştırmalarının kadın turist rehberlerinin dönüşümlü olarak turlara çıkmaları ve böylece ailelerine daha fazla zaman ayırabilmeleri açısından önemli olduğu kabul edilmektedir.
Phases of Information Interaction of a Cosmonaut with a Space Humanoid Robot in a Master-Slave Mode.
Authors: Sorokin V.G. , Dudorov E.A.
Published: June 2021

The future projects of lunar exploration suppose a wide use of robotic systems of space purposes. The paper tackles the issues of determining phases of in-formation interaction of a cosmonaut with a space humanoid robot in a master-slave mode. The identification of these phases helps to determine the construction features of both master-slave robots and automatic robots designed to assist cosmonauts in the course of their professional activity in long-duration interplanetary missions. Furthermore, the determination of phases of information interaction of a cosmonaut with a space humanoid robot in a master-slave mode is quite topical. The unique experiments with the Fyodor humanoid robot conducted under the Ispytatel space experiment aboard the International Space Station in August-September, 2019, emphasized the need to analyze the obtained results step-by-step.
Rubiacearum Americanarum Magna Hama Pars XLVIII: A New View of Palicourea sect. Axillares and Description of Some New Species (Palicoureeae)
Authors: Taylor Charlotte M.
Published: June 2021

Many of the species classified in Psychotria L. subg. Heteropsychotria Steyerm. (Rubiaceae), including the species of Psychotria ser. Axillares (Hook. f.) Steyerm., have been shown to belong to Palicourea Aubl. based on morphological and molecular characters. This section is now treated as Palicourea sect. Axillares (Hook. f.) Borhidi, and includes 14 species found from southern Central America through the Andes of northwestern and western South America with a center of diversity in eastern Colombia and western Venezuela. This section is characterized by the combination of laminar, well-developed, bilobed stipules and mostly capitate, pseudoaxillary or sometimes terminal, mostly sessile inflorescences with numerous well-developed bracts that enclose the flowers but without enlarged involucral bracts. It is circumscribed differently here than it is by Borhidi. The nomenclatural summary, key, and diagnostic discussions that separate the species included here are based on several new taxonomic circumscriptions. No infraspecific taxa are recognized in Pal. axillaris (Sw.) Borhidi, but one of its varieties from Venezuela is raised to species status as Pal. villipila (Steyerm.) C. M. Taylor. The circumscription of Pal. rosacea (Steyerm.) Borhidi is expanded, and four species are newly described here: Pal. aristata C. M. Taylor from the Andes of southern Ecuador, Pal. quibdoana C. M. Taylor from northwestern Colombia, Pal. santanderiana C. M. Taylor from the Andes of eastern Colombia, and Pal. winfriedii C. M. Taylor from northern Venezuela.

The infectious disease COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), appeared at the end of 2019 in China, and spread rapidly throughout the world in the first months of 2020. The elderly or anyone with chronic illnesses such as obesity, high blood pressure, lung disease and diabetes, are considered part of the risk group. Health authorities around the world began to adopt and encouraged behaviors to mitigate the risk of transmission, such as washing hands frequently with soap and water, making social distancing, and staying at home if possible, in order to minimize the infection and thereby relieve the health systems and reduce the number of fatalities. In this review, we discuss the possible effects of social distancing on the health of the elderly and describe different strategies of physical exercise to be performed during the pandemic of COVID-19. Aerobic training, strength training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are effective for improving immune functions, autonomy, functional independence, and mental health in the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, physical exercise programs must be planned, adapted, and controlled based on the individual capabilities of the elderly, and remotely guided by professionals trained in the prescription of physical exercise. It is necessary that the general population, and especially the elderly, be continuously informed, protected, and oriented about the benefits and the importance of physical exercise practice during the social distancing caused by the pandemic of COVID-19.

Tra Vinh Province is an important agricultural production area of the Mekong Delta in Viet Nam, but its economic development is being heavily affected by climate change. In this study, a set of 14 quotas with the Delphi method were used to assess the climate change adaptability of 24 livelihood models (horticulture, animal husbandry, and aquaculture models) in Tra Vinh Province to find livelihood models with the greatest adaptability. The adaptability was calculated using relevant parameters including weighted scores, raw data points, and mean points of each model. Calculations show that two models have great adaptability (CN01 and TS14), twenty models have relatively pretty good adaptability (CN01, CN03, TS02, TS03, TS05, TS06, TS07,TS08, TS09, TS10, TS11, TS12, TS13, TS14, TS15, TS16, TT01, TT02, TT03, TT04 and TT05), two models have average adaptability (TS04 and TS01), and no models have low adaptability. These two successful models can be applied to farmers in Tra Vinh Province but attention needs to be paid to economic issues such as capital or market. These twenty good adaptive and two average adaptability models should be improved for future applications.

Objective - The purpose of this paper is to find out the key research direction and disaster relief optimization method of governments and organizations at all levels in Guangxi to deal with tropical cyclone disasters.

Methodology/Technique - In terms of research methods, most of the research results focus on the qualitative research of emergency logistics, and the results of quantitative research are relatively few, but there are many kinds of quantitative calculation methods. In terms of focus, the optimization methods of emergency supplies dispatching are studied more, but the forecast results of emergency supplies requirements are less.

Finding - Through literature survey method and in-depth interview method, the research status of emergency logistics is reviewed and analyzed in four aspects: tropical cyclone disaster, basic theory and method of emergency logistics, emergency supplies requirements prediction and emergency supplies dispatching. Through literature combing, there are three main aspects of the discovery. In terms of disaster types, most of the existing research results pay more attention to earthquake, flood and other natural disasters emergency logistics treatment, the results of emergency logistics treatment for tropical cyclone disasters are less, and the results of emergency logistics treatment for tropical cyclone disasters in Guangxi are fewer.

Novelty - By comparing and determining the future research direction of this study, we focus on the formation law of tropical cyclone disaster chain in Guangxi, the optimization treatment methods and practical applications of emergency supplies requirements prediction and emergency supplies dispatching. The research results provide theoretical and methodological guidance for governments and organizations at all levels in Guangxi to carry out tropical cyclone disaster relief, and also point out the research direction and focus for further research in the future.

Published: June 2021

Objective - This research aims to; 1) study the competitive advantage and firm performance of the geminated parboiled rice community enterprise group, 2) investigate the differences in competitive advantage and firm performance when classified by organizational factors, 3) study the difference in the influence of competitive advantage on firm performance, and 4) determine proposals to enhance competitive advantage.

Methodology/Technique - This research uses mixed research methods. The quantitative method was used to study the influence of competitive advantage on firm performance of community enterprises, and a qualitative method was used to determine proposals to enhance competitive advantage. In Step 1, a quantitative research method was used to identify the population which includes management groups of 36 geminated parboiled rice community enterprises consisting of a chairperson, a vice-chairperson and a supervisor of 208 people, and 137 samples. Proportional sampling and simple random sampling were used in this process. Data was collected using questionnaires. The statistics used for data analysis was frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, F-test (one way ANOVA), Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regression analysis. In step 2, data was collected from in-depth interviews with key informants, using a purposive sampling method. Data analysis from the interviews using the information obtained from the interview into categories and using content analysis to determine proposals.

Findings - The research results found that competitive advantage and firm performance was high. The hypothesis testing results show that only the age of the community enterprise has an effect on the image of the community enterprise with the statistical significance of 0.05. All 3 independent variables composed of cost leadership, differentiation, and market focus had an influence on firm performance, by standardized coefficients (β) was .398, .426, .654 respectively.

Novelty - The proposals from this research include the establishment of newly geminated parboiled rice community enterprises to accelerate the creation of the organization image to be known and accepted by consumers. Further, community enterprises should focus on developing a competitive advantage that comes from a market focus strategy. This will have a positive impact on firm performance.

Students' Attitudes towards the Use of a Virtual Learning Environment with the Presence of Advertisements: Pilot Study
Authors: Mutheiwana MB , Sharp KL , Motale M
Published: June 2021

Objective - As Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) begin to investigate how they can increase revenue and decrease costs, the Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) already implemented in most HEIs may be the solution. The opportunity for including advertisements on a VLE allows HEIs to minimise the significant financial implications associated with the development and use of a VLE, without reducing the value of the service provided. While incorporating advertisements onto VLEs makes sense financially, there is limited knowledge on how students will respond to the presence of advertisements on VLEs. Consequently, this research study reports on the findings from a pilot study conducted to determine the legitimacy and reliability of a measuring instrument being employed to investigate students' attitudes towards the use of a VLE with the presence of advertisements at a South African university of technology. Methodology/Technique - A measuring instrument, including constructs of self-efficacy, technology experience, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, satisfaction, pre advert presence and post advert presence on a selected VLE was employed in this research study. A six-point Likert scale, ranging from 1= strongly disagree to 6= strongly agree was used to avoid the utilisation of a seventh scale item of neither agree nor disagree. After the initial pre-testing of the questionnaire, carried out to verify face and content validity, was completed, a non-probability, convenience, judgement sample of 50 students from a South African public higher education institution situated in the Gauteng province was taken. The gathered pilot data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), Version 25.0. Findings - The findings indicate that the measuring instrument was deemed legitimate and reliable with regards to investigating students' attitudes towards the use of a VLE with the presence of advertisements. Novelty - Only one previous study has been conducted with regards to evaluating students' attitudes towards advertising on HEI VLEs, which was conducted in the UK. In addition, other studies closely related are concerned with students' attitudes towards e-learning and do not evaluate students' attitudes towards the use of a VLE with the presence of advertisements. Attitudes contribute to understanding the perceptions of students towards a VLE. Consequently, if HEIs are to incorporate advertisements on the VLEs used within HEIs, then evaluating the attitudes of the students enrolled at these HEIs, towards the use of a VLE with the presence of advertisements, is paramount.
