Published: January 2022

The aim of the study was to provide a population assessment of cognitive impairment patterns in a representative sample of 25–44-year-old men and women living in Western Siberia with metabolic syndrome (MS). Material and methods. A cross-sectional population survey of a random representative sample of 25–44-year-olds of both sexes (1503 people) permanently residing in Western Siberia (Novosibirsk) was performed. The study of cognitive functions was conducted in 1009 people: 463 men (45.9 %) and 546 women (54.1 %). A 10-word memorization test was performed according to the methodology proposed by A.R. Luria (unified for screening purposes), with subsequent reproduction after interfering tasks (recall), a proof-reading test (a letter modification of the Bourdon test used for screening purposes), as well as the exclusion of concepts (a verbal version of the test). The MS criteria (VNOK, 2009) were used: FROM > 80 cm in women and > 94 cm in men and 2 of the following criteria: blood pressure ≥ 130/85 mmHg, TG content ≥ 1.7 mmol/L, HDL-C < 1.0 mmol/L in men and < 1.2 mmol/L in women, LDL-C > 3.0 mmol/L, plasma hyperglycemia > 6.1 mmol/L. Results. In the surveyed sample of residents of In Novosibirsk, 25–44 years old, MS occurred in every fourth person tested for cognitive functions (26.06 %): 148 men (31.96 %) and 115 women (21.06 %), MS occurred more often in women than in men. With age, there is an increase in the frequency of MS in both sexes (p < 0.05). For MS, statistically significant associations are shown with direct memorization (1st memorization experience, p = 0.025), the number of directly memorized words (p = 0.015) and with delayed reproduction of words after an interfering task (p = 0.015) in the 10-word memorization test by A.R. Luria. The average rank, as well as the average values of these cognitive tests, were higher in individuals without MS compared to those with MS diagnosed. There were no links between MS and the indicators of the proofreading test. There were also no statistically significant associations of MS with the number of animals named in 1 min in the speech activity test when studying semantically mediated associations. Conclusion. In a population study of young people (25–44 years old) for the first time in Russia/A statistically significant deterioration of cognitive memory patterns in individuals with MS components has been proven in Siberia (Novosibirsk). This confirms the importance of the «cerebrovascular continuum» in the genesis of cognitive impairment at a young age.

Published: January 2022

Tobacco smoking remains a leading cause of preventable diseases and premature death in many countries. Many smokers want to quit smoking but are not offered the highly effective treatments available to manage tobacco dependency. There has been a current trend for researchers to find new natural ingredients that were safe and still effective in treating tobacco dependence. BTL tea was a herbal-derived product prepared from Herba Menthae, Pogos cablin (Blanco) Benth., Zingiber Officinale Rosc., Flos Chrysanthemi, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Pericarpium Citri deliciosa, and Flos Lonicera. At this time, the safety of this product has not been reported. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate BTL tea’s acute and subchronic toxicity through oral administration in experimental animals. The acute toxicity was determined by Litchfield-Wilcoxon method in mice at the doses of 45.0 g/kg b.w/day to 112.5 g/kg b.w/day. The subchronic toxicity was evaluated following WHO and OECD’s Guidelines in rats with oral doses of 1.08 g/kg b.w/day (equal to recommended human dose) and 3.24 g/kg b.w/day (three times as high as recommended human dose) for four consecutive weeks. As a result, in the acute toxicity test, the mice showed no abnormal sign or death. The subchronic toxicity test, hematological indexes, hepato-renal functions, and microscopic images of liver and kidney were unchanged. However, compared with the control group, there were significant differences in various indexes, including total WBC, lymphocytes, neutrophils, and AST level, but the levels were still safe. In conclusion, BTL tea does not appear to produce acute and subchronic toxicities in mice and rats.
Results of surgical treatment of anal sphincter injury following vaginal delivery at Hanoi Medical University Hospital: a case series report

Published: January 2022

The repair of sphincter injury following vaginal delivery is often inadequate or the injury was undetected. The consequence is fecal incontinence. In this descriptive study, five patients underwent sphincter repair by the “overlap” technique. Evaluation of postoperative outcomes at 3 and 12 months showed that the Wexner fecal incontinence score at 17 - 20 score decreased to 0 - 6 score. Transperineal ultrasound showed that all five patients healed well. Measurement of anal manometry, functional anal canal length, resting anal pressures and squeezing anal pressures was better after surgery.

Published: January 2022

Congenital chylous ascites is a rare disease that results from abnormal development of the intra-abdominal lymphatic system. No gold standard treatment has been described so far, however, a combination of medium–chain triglyceride based diet or total parenteral nutrition along with octreotide and abdominal paracentesis is considered as a conservative management. This treatment is often a challenge to physicians since chylous ascites is often refractory and result in malnutrition and immune deficiency because of the loss of proteins and lymphocytes. We report a four-month old boy with congenital chylous ascites who was refractory to medical treatment with prolonged bowel rest, total parenteral nutrition, octreotide and repeated paracentesis. The baby well responded to surgical treatment with application of fibrin glue on the surface area of the leak site and was discharged after 2 month of hospitalization. When following up the patient had no recurrence of the ascites and he was growing up normally.

شح الأمثلة التوضيحية في المعاجم الثنائية (إنكليزي-عربي)‎

تسلط هذه الدراسة الضوء على مشكلة شح الأمثلة التوضيحية illustrative examples في المعاجم الثنائية اللغة (إنجليزي-عربي) بالمقارنة مع المعاجم الأحادية اللغة (إنجليزي-إنجليزي) و تأثير هذا النقص في كفاءة تلك المعاجم في إيصال معاني المفردات بمعزل عن سياقها.

إن سوء فهم تلك المعاني المجردة يؤدي بلا شك إلى الإخفاق في تطبيقاتها، مما يجعل المستخدم أقل ثقة بهذه المعاجم، فيتحول عنها إلى المعاجم الأحادية مما يؤثر سلبا في ارتباطه بلغته الأم.

و قد تعرض الباحث إلى عديد من الأمثلة المستقاة من النوعين السابقين من المعاجم لإيضاح صعوبة عرض المعاني بمعزل عن نصوصها.

كما قام الباحث بإعداد استمارة (استبانه) لاستقراء أراء الطلاب بهذا الخصوص.

و بعد تحليل الاستجابات، أوصى الباحث بضرورة إفراز حيز أكبر للأمثلة التوضيحية في المعاجم المستقبلية.

Morphological study of the testis of adult Sudanese Chicken : gallus domesticus

The adult chicken testes were two bean - shaped , large and soft , the left testis is usually higher in position and larger in size than the right one .

The testis is active during cold weather with the mean diameter of the seminiferous tubules being 126^m in the chicken .

it is less active during the hot season with the mean diameter of the seminiferous tubules being 135^m in the chicken.

The non - breeding season seemed to be characterized by a decline in the spermatogenic activity only and not by complete spermatogenesis
La determinación del bien jurídico protegido por el delito de blanqueo de capitales y el autoblanqueo
Authors: Martín Sagrado Oscar
Published: January 2022

La complejidad de la conducta y una tipificación que adolece de graves defectos fomentan el debate sobre el delito de blanqueo de capitales. La ausencia de unanimidad doctrinal sobre diversas cuestiones sustantivas es patente. Se alza en ese contexto la necesidad de determinar cuál es el bien jurídico protegido por el delito. Igualmente, adquiere especial relevancia el tratamiento del reconocimiento del autoblanqueo cuya actual configuración resulta, cuanto menos, controvertida.
Derechos, facultades y posibilidades jurídicas de la víctima del terrorismo en el actual marco del proceso penal
Authors: Alba Figuero Carmen
Published: January 2022

En los últimos años han visto la luz varios instrumentos normativos europeos, fruto de

la influencia del principio de humanidad en el derecho penal y procesal penal, que han

potenciado el papel de la víctima del delito como sujeto de derechos,

independientemente de su personación en la causa judicial, así como la concepción

de la víctima del terrorismo como víctima específica. Fruto de este movimiento se ha

transformado, paulatinamente, el mosaico de derechos y facultades que ostenta la

víctima del delito en general y del terrorismo en particular en el ordenamiento español.

En el presente artículo realizamos un estudio de tales derechos y posibilidades que, en

el marco del proceso penal, ostenta la víctima del terrorismo como víctima específica,

reflexionando, al tiempo, sobre los retos y desafíos planteados al legislador europeo y

nacional, en caso de que pretenda dispensar la adecuada atención jurídica a las

necesidades propias de este tipo de víctimas.
La religión y su juridificación
Authors: González Uriel Daniel
Published: January 2022

La religión, como toda institución social, es tributaria de una regulación normativa por parte del Estado, a través de la cual se definan los ámbitos de actuación del ciudadano y de la comunidad en su ejercicio y práctica, se establezcan sus derechos, se fijen sus deberes y se la dote de mecanismos de protección y garantía. Tales normas especiales deben conjugarse con el carácter aconfesional del Estado y con el principio de no discriminación entre ciudadanos. En este estudio se expondrá el contenido del derecho a la libertad religiosa y su relación con el derecho a la libertad de expresión, tanto en su faceta individual como a través de los medios de comunicación social, concretando los criterios ofrecidos por la doctrina del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. También se atenderá a la evolución del denominado «discurso del odio», en concreto, en su faceta de «odio religioso», a la luz de las nuevas tecnologías de la comunicación y de la información, teniendo en cuenta la difusión a través de las redes sociales, sus formas de control, erradicación y sanción.
El derecho a contraer matrimonio de las personas con discapacidad
Authors: Ruiz Alcaraz Susana
Published: January 2022

Este estudio aborda la cuestión de la aptitud de las personas con discapacidad para contraer matrimonio. Pese al cambio de paradigma instituido por la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad ?aprobada en Nueva York el 13 de diciembre de 2006?, la renovación sustancial de nuestro ordenamiento jurídico aún no ha tenido lugar. Por tanto, y aunque la finalidad resida, en el caso que analizamos, gen que las personas en situación de discapacidad puedan acceder al contrato matrimonial en condiciones de igualdad con los demás ciudadanos, lo cierto es que el dictamen facultativo contemplado en el art. 56 del CC sigue siendo, en última instancia, el criterio que condiciona que la persona con discapacidad pueda contraer nupcias. El texto de la ley, a pesar de la evolución experimentada y la que ya debería haber tenido lugar en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico, aún está fundado en un criterio médico para estimar acreditada la capacidad para prestar consentimiento matrimonial; de modo tal que sitúa a las personas con discapacidad en una posición discriminatoria, infringiendo por ello las previsiones del precitado texto internacional. En este trabajo, tras revisar el vigente sistema legal desde el punto de vista de su adecuación a la Convención, realizaremos algunas propuestas sobre las modificaciones jurídicas que darían respuesta adecuada a las necesidades de las personas afectadas por una discapacidad, en especial, psíquica, y por ende, implicarían la plena observancia de los compromisos adoptados por el Estado español.

La cibercosmología como premisa del ciberderecho
Authors: Pau Antonio , Hernando Grande Antonio
Published: January 2022

La cosmología es la ciencia que trata de explicar qué es el mundo físico, qué naturaleza tiene, y cuáles son sus rasgos o caracteres más relevantes y generales. La cibercosmología debe tratar de hacer lo mismo, pero referido al ámbito del cibermundo o ciberespacio. El cibermundo o ciberespacio es, como su propia denominación revela, un espacio: un espacio por el que circula esa información. Hardware y software o «soporte físico» y «soporte lógico» son solo los instrumentos de acceso a ese espacio. El ciberespacio se analiza en el presente artículo desde tres perspectivas: la teoría de la percepción o Wahrnehmungstheorie, la física y la cibernética. El poder público tiene tres instrumentos para intervenir en el ciberespacio y lograr así la salvaguarda de las libertades y los derechos de los ciudadanos.

La adopción consular tras la reforma por Ley 26/2015, de 28 de julio
Authors: Guzmán Zapater Mónica
Published: January 2022

La adopción constituida ante autoridad consular española en el extranjero experimenta una drástica reducción del supuesto y una limitación de las atribuciones consulares tras la reforma operada por Ley 26/2015. La constitución queda sujeta a ley española. Excepcionalmente, cuando el adoptando posea una nacionalidad extranjera, la capacidad quedará sujeta a una ley extranjera. La adopción consular ofrece ventajas para los españoles residentes en el exterior pero también un cierto riesgo de fraude. La prevención exige cautela por parte del funcionario consular.
Abruptly Dogen
Authors: Smith Kidder
Published: January 2022

In the thirteenth century Dogen brought Zen to Japan. His tradition flourishes there still today and now has taken root across the world. Abruptly Dogen presents some of his pithy writings — startling, shifting, funny, spilling out in every direction. These writings come from all seventy-five chapters of his masterwork, the Eye of Real Dharma (Shōbōgenzō 正法眼藏), and the poems roam through mountains, magic, everyday life, meditation, the nature of mind, and how the Buddha is always speaking from inside our heads. An excerpt from Chapter 1, “A Case of Here We Are,” is illustrative:

Human wisdom is like a moon roosting in water. No stain on the moon, nor does the water rip. However wide and grand the light, it still finds lodging in a puddle. The full moon, the spilling sky, all roosting in a single dewdrop on a single blade of grass.

A man of wisdom is uncut, the way a moon doesn’t pierce water. Wisdom in a man is unobstructed, the way the sky’s full moon is unobstructed in a dewdrop. No doubt about it, the drop’s as deep as the moon is high. How long does this go on? How deep is the water, how high the moon?

Authors: Taduri Shasthree , Vankudoth Suvarchala , Chirumamilla Pavani , Veera Spoorthi
Published: January 2022

The study aimed to identify bioactive compounds in Muntingia calabura leaf and root methanolic extracts. The Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) technique were used to identify bioactive compounds. GC-MS analysis revealed 38 compounds in the leaf and 15 compounds in the root methanolic extracts of M. calabura. The prime potent compound found in leaf extract is 2-{3-[(E)-2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethenyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl}phenol with 5.78% peak area and cholest-4-en-6-on-3-ol is found in root extracts, has the highest 63.7% peak area and another potent compound Lupeol has 7.3% peak area. The bioactive compounds identified in M. calabura have antibacterial activity against various bacterial strains such as gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, which showed the efficacy of in vivo plant extracts. These findings validate the therapeutic potentiality of M. calabura leaf and root samples. Furthermore, these screened potential bioactive compounds can be used effectively for biomedical and therapeutic applications.
TO THE QUESTION OF THE SUPPLY OF PARTISANS AND UNDERGROUNDERS OF THE CRIMEA WITH THE HELP OF AVIATION IN 1941-1944
Authors: Иванов Вячеслав Александрович
Published: January 2022

Статья посвящена проблеме анализа материально-технического обеспечения в годы Великой Отечественной войны партизан и подпольщиков Крыма, которая недостаточно изучена в отечественной историографии. На основе вводимых в научный оборот неопубликованных материалов из фондов Государственного архива Республики Крым автор исследует причины, побудившие Совет Народных Комиссаров Крымской АССР и военное командование Северо-Кавказского фронта организовать помощь «народным мстителям». В статье рассмотрены основные мероприятия Крымского обкома ВКП(б) по оказанию помощи антифашистскому сопротивлению: подготовка баз снабжения, авиационной техники, летного состава, подвоз продовольствия, организация аэродромов. Акцентируется внимание на факторе содействия советских ВВС в перевозке участников разведывательно-диверсионных и подпольных организаций с баз Северного Кавказа на территорию оккупированного Крыма и в передаче секретной информации в расположение советского командования. Автор приходит к выводу, что благодаря проводимым советским руководством мероприятиям был организован мощный воздушный мост между Северным Кавказом и партизанскими базами Крыма. Это позволило обеспечить партизан и подпольщиков Крыма необходимыми запасами продовольствия, медикаментов, оружия, боеприпасов в переломный момент Великой Отечественной войны.

The paper is devoted to the problem of analyzing the material support during the Great Patriotic War of the partisans and underground fighters of the Crimea, which has not been sufficiently studied in Russian historiography. On the basis of unpublished materials from the funds of the State Archives of the Republic of Crimea introduced into scientific circulation, the author examines the reasons that prompted the Council of People’s Commissars of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and the military command of the North Caucasian Front to organize the help for the “people’s avengers”. The publication discusses the main activities of the Crimean Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks to provide assistance to the anti-fascist Resistance: the preparation of supply bases, aircraft, flight personnel, the supply of food, the organization of airfields. Attention is focused on the factor of assistance of the Soviet Air Force in the transportation of members of reconnaissance, sabotage and underground organizations from the bases of the North Caucasus to the territory of the occupied Crimea, and in the transfer of classified information to the location of the Soviet command. The author arrives at the conclusion that thanks to the measures carried out by the Soviet leadership, a powerful air bridge was organized between the North Caucasus and the partisan airfields of the Crimea. This made it possible to provide the partisans and underground fighters of the Crimea with the necessary supplies of food, medicines, weapons, ammunition at the turning point of the Great Patriotic War.
ETHNOCULTURAL INEQUALITY IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF DAGESTANI YOUTH AND PROSPECTS FOR CIVIL CONSOLIDATION
Authors: Джабраилов Юсуп Джабраилович
Published: January 2022

В статье рассматривается проблема этнокультурного неравенства в научной литературе и в массовом сознании студенческой молодежи Республики Дагестан в контексте гражданской идентификации. На основе анализа социологического исследования, проведенного автором в 2021 г., выявляется корреляционная зависимость между восприятием точек зрений о нарушении или обеспечении этнорелигиозного паритета в России и уровнем гражданской идентификации. Авторская точка зрения заключается в том, что сложность для гражданской интеграции современного российского общества представляет не «множество идентичностей» россиян, сколько их неравномерное положение в социально-политической структуре российского государства. Автор делает упор на важности формирования гражданской нации как надэтнической и надрелигиозной формации, но подчеркивает преждевременность успеха данного процесса без равноправия при учете этнокультурных особенностей российских народов. В связи с чем делается вывод о необходимости создания механизма согласования интересов этнических и религиозных сообществ в субъектах Российской Федерации в целях повышения гражданской идентичности населения, так как, по мнению автора, обеспечение условий для развития этнокультурных особенностей людей повышает чувство их гражданской лояльности, создает предпосылки к открытости и терпимости к представителям иных этнокультурных традиций.

The paper deals with the problem of ethnocultural inequality in the scientific literature and in the mass consciousness of the students of the Republic of Dagestan in the context of civil identification. Based on the analysis of a sociological study conducted by the author in 2021, the publication reveals a correlation between the perception of points of view about the violation or maintenance of ethno-religious parity in Russia and the level of civil identification. The author's point of view is that the difficulty for the civil integration of modern Russian society is not the "set of identities" of Russians, but rather their uneven position in the socio-political structure of the Russian state. The author emphasizes the importance of forming a civil nation as a supra-ethnic and supra-religious formation, but emphasizes the prematurity of the success of this process without equality, taking into account the ethno-cultural characteristics of the Russian peoples. In this connection, it is concluded that it is necessary to create a mechanism for coordinating the interests of ethnic and religious communities in the subjects of the Russian Federation in order to increase the civil identity of the population. Since, according to the author, providing conditions for the development of ethno-cultural characteristics of people increases the sense of their civic loyalty, creates prerequisites for openness and tolerance to representatives of other ethno-cultural traditions.
THE STRUCTURE OF THE MECHANISM FOR STRENGTHENING THE TRUST OF THE AUTHORITIES: THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Киреева Ирина Владимировна
Published: January 2022

В статье представлена структура механизма укрепления доверия власти. Исследование механизма укрепления доверия власти актуально, так как в условиях распространения коронавирусной инфекции COVD-19 наблюдается снижение доверия населения к основным социальным институтам, в том числе политическим. Актуальность рассматриваемого вопроса связана с важностью выявления информационных, организационных, правовых и управленческих технологий формирования доверия, которые могут быть реализованы региональными органами власти. При этом доверие как социальный феномен интерпретируется с позиций трех базовых оснований: «позитивных ожиданий», «позитивного настроя» и «доверительных отношений». Посредством обобщения исследовательского опыта представителей структурно-функционального подхода в статье определены основные элементы механизма укрепления власти: субъект, объект, базовые нормы взаимодействия, средовые условия, взаимодействие, планируемый и реальный результат. На основе проведенного теоретического исследования делается вывод о том, что укрепление доверия власти предполагает взаимодействие между субъектами социально-политических процессов, представленными управленческими группами, средствами массовой информации, общественными объединениями и группами, гражданами, результатом которого становится гармонизация отношений общественных структур и органов власти.

The paper presents the structure of the mechanism for strengthening the trust of the authorities. The study of the mechanism of strengthening the trust of the authorities is relevant, since in the conditions of the spread of coronavirus infection, there is a decrease in public confidence in the main social institutions, including political ones. The relevance of the issue under consideration is related to the importance of identifying information, organizational, legal and managerial technologies for building trust that can be implemented by regional authorities. The work defines the main elements of the mechanism: subject, object, basic norms of interaction, environmental conditions, interaction, planned and real result. Basing on a theoretical study, we conclude that strengthening the trust of the authorities involves interaction between the subjects of socio-political processes, represented by management groups, the media, public associations and groups, citizens, which results in the harmonization of relations between social structures and authorities.
New Heathenry between past and present. The case of Ásatrúfélagið and Samfundet Forn Sed
Authors: Manea Irina
Published: January 2022

As a variant of alternative spirituality derived from postmodern fluidity and fragmentation of large narratives, Nordic Heathenry has gone through a revival for the past decades. Due to the common ground of potentially völkish/ethnicist views shared by far-right milieus, it has been confronted with the risk of the extremist framework dominating the reception of Norse symbols and myths. While many strains of heathenry might present similarities in their neo-romantic nativist revival, some have been attempting to focus on a heritage discourse that can become acceptable and normalized in society, reflecting an open and inclusive attitude. The Asatru Association in Iceland and The Old Way in Sweden, through their public message and stated mission, underline the need for the freedom to reinvent myth and ritual while remaining anchored in the present, thus distancing themselves from other cultural appropriations and proclaiming their own role in society. The very flexible view on myth and ritual constitutes a defining aspect for the identity of these movements.
About Pan-Scandinavianism. Reference points in the 19th century (1815-1864)
Authors: Ghenghea Mircea-Cristian
Published: January 2022

At the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th a sense of solidarity shared by the people of the Northern Europe appeared: Pan-Scandinavianism. First it had a certain impact at cultural and spiritual levels. In a narrower sense the term was used when referring to the possibility of creating a political union between the Nordic kingdoms during the middle decades of the 19th century.
Although it seemed that the political side of Pan-Scandianvianism had a good chance of accomplishing itself, especially after the Three Years War (1848-1851), the international context from the period that followed did not favour that plan. The collapse of the political Pan-Scandinavianism was in 1864 – the Second Schleswig-Holstein War. Sweden-Norway failed in helping Denmark against Prussia and Austria, despite the fact that King Karl XV was an advocate of Pan-Scandinavianism. Leaving this aspect aside, there were other internal difficulties of the Nordic states that Pan-Scandinavianism had to face, including the emerging nationalism. On a broader view, Pan-Scandinavianism appeared as an opponent of Panslavism and Pangermanism. Thus the dream of a unified Scandinavia was abandoned in the 19th century and Pan-Scandinavianism focused on cultural, scientific and economic cooperation.
Pre-Christian Scandinavian royalty. From the legendary kings
to the 11th century kingship
Authors: Airinei Alexandra
Published: January 2022

This article focuses, as the title already expresses it, on the Pre-Christian Scandinavian Royalty, not from a political point of view, but from the perspective of what we nowadays call ideology of power. This means that we will try to identify the whole system of beliefs regarding the ideal ruler and the concepts that support his right to the throne and to the exercise of his authority . The ideas used to build the image of the perfect kingship in the pagan Scandinavia continued to exist long after the difficult process of christianisation, thing which meant in fact that the conversion was never fully completed and that this area remained distinct from the rest of the continent during the Middle Ages and even later. Even if the article refers to the Northern monarchy up to the 11th century, we included in our references a 13th century work allegedly written by the king Håkon Håkonsson, “Konungs Skuggsja”, to show this particular aspect: the fact that the pagan ideas were deeply rooted in the endemic society, the fact that they still shaped the concept of the perfect king and that there was no breach between the Christian period and the previous one, but rather a balanced continuity.
Democratic order and ethnic minority rights: the weaknesses of the Finnish and Turkish democracies
Authors: Furu Adél
Published: January 2022

This paper raises important questions about the nature of governance in Finland with a view to the difficulties of the Sámi minority, and in the same time in this study we present our comparative approach to investigate how Finland and Turkey are able to solve internal ethnic conflicts related to their national minorities. The article provides a comparative analysis of the democratic order in a consolidated democracy (Finland) and in a weak democracy (Turkey). The democratic experience of these countries is of reasonable importance, as a considerable number of countries worldwide are at various stages during the democratic experiment. This study outlines the role of democratic order in conflict prevention in these two states.
Patrón de distribución temporal de la lluvia en la estación aeropuerto de Managua, período 2002-2016
Authors: Blanco Chávez Miguel E.
Published: January 2022

En el presente artículo se aborda el patrón de distribución de la lluvia en la estación pluviográfica Aeropuerto de Managua. El objetivo del estudio fue la determinación de los hietogramas de lluvia y los coeficientes de avance de la tormenta en cada Cuartil, en el período 2002-2016. Se estimaron las curvas masas acumuladas de precipitación de las tormentas con altura mayor que 20 mm y duraciones menores o iguales a dos h. Las curvas masas de precipitación fueron normalizadas con respecto a su duración y altura de precipitación. Posteriormente, se obtuvieron los patrones de distribución de la lluvia para las tormentas con altura mayor que 20 mm y para tormentas mayores que 30 mm, los cuales podrían ser utilizados en las estimaciones de caudales máximos para determinar crecidas en el área de influencia de la estación Aeropuerto de Managua. El estudio sugiere que el patrón de distribución de la lluvia obtenido en ambos casos, no es simétrico y difiere del obtenido con el método de los bloques alternos.

The problem of multicriteria optimization in relation to the decisions made about organizing the material and technical support for equipment and personnel of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters (EMERCOM of Russia) in the context of emergency response on transport has been explored in this article. The existing approaches have been indicated, and another approach to building a single generalized criterion by the given partial criteria for the multicriteria optimization problem has been proposed. The verbal statement of the considered problem of multicriteria optimization has been provided. The goal of the study is to develop a method for solving this multicriteria optimization problem using fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and the Mamdani's fuzzy inference algorithm. A substantial example has been provided, illustrating the application of the stated theoretical provisions for solving the problem of choosing the best option for the equipment and personnel of the EMERCOM of Russia to liquidate the consequences of emergency situations on transport. In terms of novelty, it must be noted that the indicator (output variable) and parameters (input variables) of the problem have been defined ambiguously, fuzzily, which allows to use the efficient mathematical tools of the theory of fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and the Mamdani's fuzzy inference algorithm to solve this problem.
The effect of remote work on the successful development of engineering company
Authors: Gorokhova Anna Evgenievna , Eskerkhanova Luiza Tagirovna , Shishkin Andrey Nikolaevich
Published: January 2022

The purpose of the present study is to identify the main advantages and problems of remote work for both employers and employees, and possible ways to solve them. The article shows a significant number of studies dealt with non-standard forms of labor organization, clarifies the essence of remote work, and examines the main aspects for its effective organization. The main advantages and problems of remote work for employers and employees, as well as possible ways to solve them, are identified based on an expert survey involving 36 experts. According to the conducted study, it can be concluded that the acceleration of scientific and technological progress and adverse epidemiological conditions contribute to the spread of remote work worldwide. This phenomenon has two aspects. On the one hand, remote work, firstly, reduces the unemployment rate and improves the image of the company; secondly, offers flexible working hours; thirdly, protects/retains customers and saves time/transport costs. On the other hand, remote work is associated with the difficulty in maintaining efficiency and teamwork at a high level; secondly, it restricts communication, makes it impossible to perform certain tasks at home; and thirdly, remote work leads to insufficient physical activity, causes difficulties with integration into the corporate culture, etc.
University campuses in Russia: architectural and urban development typology
Authors: Popov Aleksey Vladimirovich , Syrova Olga Ivanovna
Published: January 2022

The purpose of the present study is to develop a typology of university campuses reflecting all their diversity. The main attention is paid to the peculiarities of the location of the university campuses relative to the settlements, as well as their spatial planning arrangement. In general, depending on the spatial planning arrangement, three types of university campuses are defined and analyzed, namely, dispersed, dissected, and compact (local). The features of university complexes located in the metropolitan areas, largest, and large cities, as well as in medium and small cities, and outside of large settlements in the suburban area have been determined depending on the location of campuses relative to settlements. Besides, the authors have identified the ways of spatial planning development of existing university complexes and justified improving the spatial planning arrangement of university campuses. In general, four ways of the spatial development of existing universities are identified: purchasing facilities in the adjacent territory to expand the existing campus; placing the necessary additional facilities in the adjacent and other areas of the city, that is, integrating into the urban environment; creating an additional campus in a remote territory (often in the suburbs); and moving all or part of the university facilities to a new campus with a full-fledged infrastructure in another area of the city or suburb. The article provides examples of university campuses (complexes) in Russian cities for all the types considered, provided with the attached graphic schemes.
Application of fuzzy mathematics for choosing maintenance intervals for non-public railway tracks
Authors: Ermakova Anna V.
Published: January 2022

This article discusses the application of fuzzy mathematics for choosing time windows for the maintenance of non-public railway tracks. The design features of several stations and the points of junction of non-public railway tracks lead to hostile routes in the leads of the station. Moving the switching fleet through the neck creates hostility to the train route. To determine the optimal maintenance interval of non-public railway tracks, aimed at excluding hostility, it is necessary to know the throughput reserve of the railroad neck element in a certain time window. To localize the throughput reserve, it is proposed to divide the day into 30-minute intervals. This division will allow determining more accurately both the throughput reserve of the railroad neck element and the periods for servicing non-public railway tracks. The most appropriate way to calculate the throughput reserve is to use fuzzy numbers since this method allows taking into account the unequal capabilities of values within the intervals. Using the defuzzification procedure, a natural number is assigned to a given fuzzy number. After carrying out the defuzzification of the throughput reserve, the obtained values can be used to build an algorithm for selecting service intervals for non-public railway tracks.

Ketimpangan pendapatan merupakan akibat dari tidak meratanya distribusi pendapatan antar daerah bahkan nasional. Sumber ketimpangan bukan hanya dari distribusi pendapatan tetapi juga dari pendidikan yang menjadi hal penting dalam pembangunan ekonomi. Masalah berikutnya adalah bagaimana menaikan pendapatan atau tingkat kesejahteraan masyarakat yang masih berada dibawah garis kemiskinan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perkembangan penduduk miskin di Provinsi Jambi dan menganalisis pengaruh pendidikan dan penduduk miskin terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan baik secara parsial maupun simultan. Dalam penelitian ini metode yang digunakan bersifat deskriptif kuantitatif dan menggunakan data sekunder yang diambil dari Badan Pusat Statistik Provinsi Jambi. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis regresi berganda dengan IBM SPSS statistik dengan periode penelitian tahun 2011-2020.
Hasil penelitian menunjukan selama tahun 2011-2020 jumlah kemiskinan di Provinsi Jambi mengalami fluktuatif dengan kecenderungan menurun dengan rata-rata sebesar 0,58%.  Variabel pendidikan  terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan  memiliki pengaruh negatif dan signifikan dengan nilai t-statistik < t-tabel (-4,450 < 2,364) dengan probabilitas 0,003, sedangkan variabel penduduk miskin terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan  memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan dengan nilai t-statistik > t-tabel (2,659 > 2,364) dengan probabilitas 0,033. Secara simultan diperoleh bahwa pendidikan  dan penduduk miskin  memiliki pengaruh dan signifikan terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan  di Provinsi Jambi periode 2011-2020.

Published: January 2022

Several sea breeze parameters such as time of onset, withdrawal, duration, depth, variation with height, direction etc.  have been derived and studied for Chennai city and Chennai AP observatories in this study, which has been based on a large  data base for the period March-October,1969-83. The monthly and sub monthly values of several sea breeze parameters have been derived. By invoking the concept of superposed epoch analysis the important role played by sea breeze in modulating diurnal variation of surface temperature and relative humidity has been established. The sea breeze at Chennai has been shown to be shallow with a depth of under 1 km. Modal directions of sea breeze and its normal speed have been  derived.
Summertime turbulent heat fluxes at East Antarctica over neighbouring rocky and ice shelf sites

Published: January 2022

During the ninth Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica, in the year 1990, a micro-meteorological tower was installed at Maitri (70° S, 12° E) on the rocky terrain and on an experimental basis, on the nearby ice-shelf at the location of Dakshin Gangotri (70° 7¢ S, 11° 7¢ E). The synoptic features strongly influencing over the sites are the southeasterly  katabatic winds from the polar cap and/or northerly low level warm and humid winds from the sea. These flows are responsible for the formation of strong surface based inversion and strong convective conditions at the ice shelf and rocky terrain during the minimum and maximum insolation periods, respectively. This paper presents a study of surface layer structure over two contrasting surfaces on near-coastal Antarctica and deals with the significance of the energy exchange processes over the rocky Antarctic region and the parameterization of turbulent fluxes over surfaces having strong inversion/convection conditions. The paper makes use of turbulence structure functions  which are different from the conventional one given by Panofsky and Dutton (1984).
Remote sensing and geophysical studies for groundwater exploration in Osmania University campus, Hyderabad, India: A case study
Authors: HIMABINDU D. , RAMADASS G.
Published: January 2022

With the increasing resolution of satellite sensors, it is possible to fruitfully exploit the special advantages of image analysis for a wide range of geological environments. With this view, a LISS-III and PAN merged image of the 1600 acre (approximately 6.5 sq km) Osmania University (OU) campus taken from IRS-ID in the month of May (a fairly representative month in terms of minimum annual drainage/vegetation cover) was acquired. The image was then digitally processed and visually interpreted for potential groundwater resource regions. Since occurrence of groundwater in crystalline rocks, the host rocks for the entire Hyderabad region, is generally associated with secondary porosity, the accent was on determining and establishing lineaments of considerable surface extent. This was then augmented with maps of subsurface features as obtained from geophysical studies for the southern part of 0 U campus and available bore well/open well information. Subsequently, information from the three sources was integrated for a better understanding of the geological situation and the interrelationship of its various constituents to determine possible locations of groundwater resources.

 

The significant findings comprised the identification of three major dykes, two running E-W and the third running NE-SW. A major N-S linear exposure of granitic rocks, as also several criss-crossing fractures in the southern side of the campus, along with the prevailing drainage pattern for the entire campus area were mapped. Based on these findings and supporting geophysical/hydrogeological data, a geological/lithological map of Osmania University campus was prepared and prospective groundwater zones have been identified.

The monthly mean atmospheric fields and surface parameters of NCEP/NCAR reanalysis for the period 1948-1998 have been studied to examine the characteristics of monsoon circulation features, sea surface temperature (SST), sea level pressure, surface wind stress and latent heat flux over the Indian Ocean and nearby seas during deficient, normal and excess rain years. The entire period of study has been classified into deficient, normal and excess rain years for all India as well as for each of the five homogeneous zones separately based on the observed seasonal mean rainfall. On the basis of the mean characteristics of the surface fields, the oceanic region covering the Indian Ocean and adjacent seas has been divided into four regional sectors. Using various statistical means the relation between the surface fields over the four regional sectors and the monsoon rainfall over five homogeneous zones of Indian landmass has been examined. Attempt have been made to identify some surface parameters which can be used as predictors for seasonal mean monsoon rainfall over the entire India and also over some homogeneous zones.

Published: January 2022

Temporal distributions of wind and wave over Bombay High Area (BHA) during cyclone period have been studied. Ten years’ (1990-99) data of BHA during cyclone period have been used. It is found that under the influence of cyclonic storms strong southwesterly winds prevail over the BHA in pre-monsoon and weaker east to southeasterly winds during post-monsoon. Southwesterly wave with heights exceeding 20 feet are encountered in BHA during pre-monsoon and south easterlies with wave height reaching up to 12 feet in post monsoon. Analysis of situations with different storm locations also yielded similar results. Relationships between wind speeds and wave height as well as the distance of the storm centre over BHA have been established.
