Cyclonic storm of 14-15August 1974 In the Bay of Bengal –A radar study
Authors: BHATTACHARJEE P. , DE A. C.
Published: February 2022

Tracking of the cyclonic storm of 14-15 August 1974 with the help of S-Band radar at Calcutta has been reported in this communication. The rather slow moving storm remained within a radius of 200km from the radar site for about 36 hours thus enabling the radar to track it. The eye of the storm could be seen on the radarscope for more than 24 hr, even 12 hr after crossing of the coast. Saugar Island and Contai, two of the coastal observatories were traversed by the eye of the storm. The radar data were compared with the surface observations recorded at these two stations. The characteristics of the eye of the cyclonic storm, the vertical structure and sector-wise distribution of the associated cloud system and rainfall distribution are discussed.

Authors: ZUTSHI P.K. , MAHADEVAN T. N. , SATHE A. P.
Published: February 2022

Four-hourly average concentrations of sulphur dioxide, total oxidants (including ozone) and aldehydes (as formaldehyde) observed the Modular. Laboratory Site, BARC, Bombay during 1973 are present, The results are compared with those of earlier years and discussed. An yearly increase of between 5-10 percent is SO2 (monthly average concentrations) is observed since 1969. The interaction of SO2 with oxidants in the atmosphere, observed earlier, is confirmed.

 

For all the pollutants studied it is found that the corresponding four-hourly average concentrations during 1972 and 1973 are log-normally distributed.
Wind characteristics and wind power potential of the Indian summer monsoon
Authors: MOOLEY D. A.
Published: February 2022

Utilising the hourly wind data for the period 1969-73, characteristics of the monsoon (June-September) wind over Saurashtra-Kutch, Gujarat and penisular India have been brought out. The wind regime over moved Saurashtra-Kutch, adjoining coasts of Gujarat and of Konkan, southern parts of the peninsular India and at into a some stations in Deccan plateau is strong. Marked diurnal variation in wind is experienced at inland stations. Power computations show that a good amount of power exists in the wind over Saurashtra-Kutchand. the adjoining coastal belts in southern part of the peninsula and at a few stations in the Deccan plateau. In particular over and around the Gulf of Kutch, the wind has a high power potential. Wind power over Saurashtra-Kutch and Gujarat in a bad monsoon year need not be less than that during a good monsoon year. The available monsoon wind ported power can be used through a suitably devised windmill for irrigation that may be required by the crops and for  drawing water from wells and grinding corn in rural areas.

On the presence of upper air divergence in relation to pre-monsoon and monsoon weather systems of the MONEX period 1979
Authors: SINGH RANJIT
Published: February 2022

A case of formation of a cyclonic storm in the Bay of Bengal and some cases of intensification of equatorial trough during pre-monsoon period were studied with the help of GOES-l satellite wind flow data, It could be inferred that divergence in these cases was mostly generated and the development took place without the movement of any pre-existing divergent system aloft, Onset of the southwest monsoon along the west coast, together with formation of a cyclonic storm in the Arabian Sea and three other cases of formation of depression in the Bay of Bengal were examined in light of the above wind flow data, The development of these systems took place in the presence of upper air divergence systems.

Published: February 2022

Three cases when a pair of cyclonic storms interacted with each other have been presented and discussed in this paper. During the interacting phase, the storms moved temporarily in a clockwise manner around a common centre which is reverse of what is postulated in the well known Fujiwhara Effect. A explanation for this unusual movement has been attempted.
Whistler evidence of downward movement of ionization at low latitudes
Authors: DI.KSHIT S. K.
Published: February 2022

The entire path of whistlers observed at our low latitude field station Nainital lies well within the upper boundary of the F-region. Large number of whistlers recorded during nighttime at Nainital show a smooth decrease in dispersion with time. This decrease in dispersion is interpreted in terms of corresponding decrease in the electron content of tubes of ionization. The computed result shows a downward flux of ionization at the base level of 500 km to be in the order of 2.8 X 108 electrons /cm2/sec.

 

It is also shown that the ambipolar diffusion alone cannot explain the transport of ionization in the topside F-region at low latitudes but some other processes such as E x B drifts are also important.
April evaporation in relation to subsequent monsoon rainfall in India
Authors: MASKE S. J. , SAMUI R. P.
Published: February 2022

Monthly mean evaporation charts for the months March to May are examined year by year for the period 1965 to 1975 in relation to the behaviour of the subsequent monsoon rainfall in the country. April charts, in general, show two regions, one primary and other one secondary region of high evaporation belt in the years where the subsequent monsoon rainfall is normal over the country. The primary region of high evaporation extends from Gujarat to Andhra Pradesh through Maharashtra and adjoining Karnataka. It is found for both normal and deficient years. In most of the deficient years, viz., 1965, 1968 and 1972, the pattern changes substantially; the secondary region which extends from Rajasthan to Madhya Pradesh disappears from its normal position. No such change in the evaporation pattern is found in the months of March and May. Though secondary region disappears in April 1970 which was a good monsoon year yet there is no shrinking in total area coverage of high evaporation belt. It appears that secondary region has shifted towards west and forms a bigger region of high evaporation belt, in combination with the primary one.

 

April mean evaporation chart may, therefore, serve as a tool for precdicting the behaviour of the subsequent monsoon rainfall in the country.

Published: February 2022

Introduction:

Surgical specialties are at an increased risk for occupational hazards, including sharps-related injuries. The objective of this study was to report the frequency of sharps injuries and evaluate which characteristics influence the number of injuries and reporting behaviors.

Methods:

A web-based, anonymous survey was available for 10 weeks to 46 US orthopaedic surgery residency programs (1,207 potential residents) participating in an education research collaborative. The survey was divided into the following areas: demographics, training and attitudes concerning occupational hazards, and sharps injuries and reporting. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between the above variables on experiencing sharps injuries with significance threshold set at P < 0.05.

Results:

In this study, 518 surveys were included yielding a response rate of 42.9% (518/1,207). Nearly 80% of the residents recalled some form of safety training during intern orientation and 62% of the respondents felt that they received adequate occupation safety training specifically related to orthopaedic surgery. Four hundred seventeen residents (80.5%) experienced a sharps injury (mean 2.8). Nearly 20% of the respondents experienced ≥5 sharps injuries. Needle sticks (38.8%) were responsible for the greatest percentage of injuries, followed by Kirschner wires (33.6%), scalpel (22.5%), and bone (17.3%). Only 42% of the residents consistently reported all injuries. Reasons included feelings of no risk (63.1%), too much hassle (58.9%), embarrassment (14.5%), other (8.7%), forgot (5.8%), and unclear what to do (3.3%). Inadequate safety training specific to orthopaedic surgery (odds ratio, 2.32 [95% confidence interval, 1.20 to 4.46]; P = 0.012) and greater training seniority (odds ratio, 2.04 [95% confidence interval, 1.64 to 2.52]; P < 0.0001) were associated with acquiring five or more sharps injuries.

Discussion:

Sharps injuries are a prevalent and concerning reality for orthopaedic surgical trainees. Despite this common occurrence, only 42% of the residents always reported their injuries. Inadequate training specific to orthopaedic surgery and each subsequent year of postgraduate training are associated with increased sharps injuries.

Association Between Preoperative Shoulder Strength and Clinical Outcomes After Primary Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Authors: Hao Kevin A. , Wright Thomas W. , Schoch Bradley S. , Wright Jonathan O. , Dean Ethan W. , Struk Aimee M. , King Joseph J.
Published: February 2022

Introduction:

We aimed to determine whether preoperative shoulder strength predicts postoperative values and improvement in strength, range of motion (ROM), and outcome scores after primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA).

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed 264 shoulders with a minimum of 2-year follow-up after primary rTSA. Preoperative external rotation (ER) strength, supraspinatus strength, and abduction strength were analyzed to establish their correlation with postoperative values and improvement in strength, ROM, and outcome scores (Constant score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder score, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, Simple Shoulder Test, and the University of California, Los Angeles score). Multiple linear regression models were used to identify the preoperative shoulder strength measures that most affected postoperative outcomes and improvement in outcomes.

Results:

Preoperative measures of shoulder strength were positively correlated with all measures of postoperative shoulder strength, active abduction and elevation, and all outcome scores studied. On multivariate analysis, greater preoperative ER, supraspinatus, and abduction strength were significantly associated with greater corresponding postoperative values (P = 0.009, P = 0.041, and P = 0.008, respectively); however, they were also associated with less respective improvement (P < 0.001 for all) because the weakest patients tended to see the largest improvements. Notably, preoperative values of ER and supraspinatus strength exceeding 17.5 and 20.5 lbs were associated with a decline in their respective values postoperatively, but no limit was identified for ROM or outcome score measures. On multivariate analysis, reduced preoperative abduction strength was markedly associated with greater improvement in 3 of 4 ROM measures and 4 of 5 outcome scores.

Conclusion:

Preoperative shoulder strength, especially abduction strength, predicts superior postoperative outcomes and greater improvement in shoulder strength, ROM, and outcome scores after primary rTSA. However, a minority of patients with well-preserved strength may lose strength after surgery, and patients who are weaker preoperatively tend to see larger improvements in postoperative outcomes.

Beyond Collaboration: Principles and Indicators of Authentic Relationship Development in CBPR
Authors: Fletcher Fay , Hibbert Alicia , Hammer Brent , Ladouceur Susan
Published: February 2022

Authentic relationships, crafted through an ongoing process of engagement that results in shared priorities, are essential to working with, versus for, in or on community. Using a comparative analysis of a CBPR case study with two rural Métis communities, authors present shifts in individual attitudes and behaviors that represent principles for authentic relationship development. Reciprocal capacity building, relational accountability, and honoring cultural and personal boundaries are principles for authentic relationships that may be generalized across contexts to inform CBPR. Based on a process of collaborative inquiry, the authors propose two indicators of authentic relationships, including adaptability, as shown in decision-making, and shared values, reflected and achieved through inclusive reflexive practices. Using quantitative and qualitative methods to explore authentic relationship development made apparent the absence of authentic relationships in one case study. In conclusion, authors present the discussion and ultimate decision to step back from program delivery when authentic relationships are lacking.
The MaTE Tool—Enabling Engaged Scholars at a Regional University
Authors: Crookes Patrick , Else Fabienne , Smith Kylie
Published: February 2022

Providing institutionally recognized evidence of community engaged scholarship has long been problematic for engaged scholars when applying for recognition through promotion or probation pathways. To combat this, the University of Wollongong [in New South Wales, Australia] developed an online tool for use by engaged scholars to track and measure their engagement activities in a consistent and institutionally recognized form. This article outlines the process that was undertaken to develop the online system for measuring and tracking engagement (the MaTE tool). It outlines the initial recognition of the key issues arising from a comprehensive review of the literature; the drafting process undertaken to develop a prototype for the tool; and the interview stage and subsequent re-drafting process and finalization of the tool. The article concludes with a consideration of future directions for the tool and its further implementation at the university.

Laboratories that meet ergonomic standards will support the learning process, both academically and technically, to facilitate the growth and development of skills. This study aims to uncover and provide an overview and information about laboratory ergonomics standards which include thermal comfort (temperature), workspace laboratory lighting. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method carried out in the Machine Tool Unit Laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering Education with a population of 60 students who are carrying out practicum. Techniques using direct observation and measurement. Lux Meter to measure lighting and then Digital Thermometer which functions to measure temperature at the observation point in the laboratory. Data collection starting at 07.00 until 12.00 and in the afternoon starting from 13.00 to 16.00, which is the time to do work activities. Measurements made at ten observation points the results showed that; (1) thermal comfort (temperature) with a value of 30.44 degrees Celsius, while the ideal practical standard ranges from 24 – 27 degrees Celsius; (2) Lighting with a value of 422.14 Lux while the ideal practice standard ranges from 500 – 1000 Lux. These results indicate that there is a tendency for temperature and lighting in laboratory rooms under conditions that are less than the standard set. To increase work productivity, these factors can cause less concentration and stress at work.
ESOPHAGEAL IMPACTION OF FERTILIZED DUCK EGG ALBUMEN (HARDENED BALUT WHITE) IN A TERTIARY GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL IN THE PHILIPPINES: A CASE SERIES
Authors: Claudio Emilio Raymund , Dealino Maria Angela , Dela Cruz Anna Pamela , Ong Kimberly Mae
Published: February 2022

Background: This study described the clinical profile of patients who developed esophageal impaction after ingesting the hardened white portion (albumen) of a fertilized duck egg (colloquially termed balut).

Methods: A review of patients with foreign body impaction of hardened balut egg white was performed. These patients were admitted in the emergency room from November 2013 to November 2018. Clinical features analyzed included age, sex, clinical signs and symptoms, imaging performed, operative findings and complications.

Results: In all, 18 patients were included in the review. Seventeen were male with a majority in the 20- to 40-year-old age range. Dysphagia and neck tenderness were the most commonly presented symptoms and physical examination finding, respectively. Twelve cases were successfully extracted via rigid esophagoscopy under general anesthesia, while one case was resolved through spontaneous ejection. The most common site of impaction was at the cervical esophagus. One third of patients undergoing extraction had minor noncircumferential esophageal abrasions.

Conclusion: Ingestion of the entire hardened balut white can lead to esophageal impaction, necessitating admission and operative management. Young males are commonly affected. Due to its intrinsic characteristics as a foreign body, its removal can prove challenging. Push technique and extraction (both via piecemeal and wholly) were found to be effective, and when performed correctly, minimized complications. Nevertheless, this condition may be prevented with health education.

The planted forests in Brazil and in the world represent a significant slice of the forest sector in general, having the mechanization of activities, especially forest harvesting, is of great importance in the process. The objective was to estimate, through the use of Artificial Neural Networks, more reliable configurations to estimate the mechanical availability of harvester forest harvester-type equipment. The analyzed data were compiled and organized in a database of production monitoring of a company in the forest sector located in the southeast region of Brazil, later trained and validated according to neural network techniques. A trend was observed for the Resilient Propagation algorithm, where among all the trained ANNs, those that obtained the best R2 correlation values, the Quickpropagation training algorithm presented a correlation coefficient between the estimated values and observed values considered high, 0.9908, demonstrating that the trained networks are reliable. The Backpropagation training algorithm had a lower result, with only 75.77% of the estimated mechanical availability variation being explained by the observed mechanical availability. However, the application of artificial neural networks offers a practical solution to the problem of estimating mechanical availability quickly and accurately.

How Valuable is the Reliability of Residential Electricity Supply in Low-Income Countries? Evidence from Nepal
Authors: Alberini Anna , Steinbuks evgenijs , Timilsina Govinda
Published: February 2022

We use contingent valuation to estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) for improved electricity service in Nepal following the end of the country’s load-shedding crisis of 2007-2016. Using a nationally representative survey of grid-connected Nepali households, we calculate the WTP per outage-day avoided and the value of lost load (VoLL) for residential customers and analyze their key drivers, including income, education, and investments in own generation or electricity storage equipment. Households are willing to pay, on average, 123 NR ($1.11) per month for improved quality of power supply. In other words, they would be prepared to see a 65% increase in their monthly bill to avoid outages. Our preferred estimates of the VoLL range from 5 to 15 NR/kWh (04.7-014/kWh). These estimates are below the marginal cost of avoided load shedding, and are virtually the same as valuations at the beginning of the load-shedding crisis.

Background: The literature highlights the benefits of physical activity using water resistance during movement in the aquatic environment, and the combination of pilayoga with the activity in the aquatic environment offers an interesting alternative to modern training and inspires research in this field. Nowadays, aquatic fitness is one of the most widely recognized fitness programs among health specialists, sports professionals, and practitioners. Aims: The main aim of the study was to assess the effect of three months of participation in an aqua pilayoga program on the functional fitness of women over 60 years of age. Method: The study group followed a supervised training routine 2 times per week for 3 months. The variables assessed at baseline and after 3 months included body composition (BIA), anthropometric indices i.e. body mass index, and results of the Fullerton Fitness Senior Test (FFST) which evaluated functional fitness. Fitness parameters measured in the study were strength and muscular endurance, mobility, dexterity, speed, body balance, motor coordination, reaction time, and flexibility. Results: After 3 months of the experiment, the greatest changes were found in endurance, agility, and strength of the upper and lower limbs. Positive adaptations were also observed in increased leg strength and flexibility of the lower and upper body. After 3 months, body mass index and fat mass decreased significantly (p<0.05), whereas basal metabolic rate, fat-free mass, and total body water increased significantly (p<0.001) Conclusions: Our findings indicated that aqua pilayoga programs can improve health parameters better and faster than in other sports. This is probably related to the specificity of the aquatic environment (buoyancy, density, resistance force, or waves) and physical exercise in water.

Výskyt a korelace závislosti na videohrách mezi nigerijskými školu navštěvujícími adolescenty
Authors: Onivehu Adams Ogirima
Published: February 2022

Hraní video her se stalo populárním fenoménem mezi školu navštěvujícími adolescenty po celém světě, především z důvodu rychlého rozvoje herního průmyslu v 21. století. Proto má tato populace přístup k širokému spektru videoher s rozdílným potenciálem a možnostmi pro maximální hráčský zážitek. Na jedné straně mohou videohry přinést adolescentům jisté výhody, na straně druhé s sebou nesou i nebezpečí. Závislost na videohrách se dostala do popředí zájmu veřejnosti i aktérů v rámci nigerijského vzdělávacího systému. Tato studie má za cíl prozkoumat výskyt a korelace závislosti na videohrách mezi školu navštěvujícími adolescenty, kteří byli náhodně vybráni ze státních a soukromých škol ve státě Kwara (Nigerie). Studie se zúčastnilo 850 adolescentů z 20 středních škol. Nezávislé proměnné (gender, akademický výkon, životní spokojenost, sebevědomí, vliv vrstevníků, vnímaná hladina stresu a kognitivní exekutivní funkce) byly zachyceny pomocí standardizovaných škál. Nezávislá proměnná (závislost na videohrách) byla zkoumána pomocí Game Addiction Scale. Data byla zpracována do podoby absolutních a relativních četností, dále byla provedena korelační a regresní analýza. Výsledky studie ukazují, že většina respondentů (74 %) hraje online i offline videohry. 13,5 % respondentů spadají do kategorie závislých na videohrách. Závislost na videohrách významně koreluje s vlivem vrstevníků, genderem, akademickým výkonem, kognitivními exekutivními funkcemi a životní spokojeností. Na základě těchto zjištění lze doporučit využití preventivních opatření proti vzniku závislosti na videohrách a s ní souvisejícími jevy mezi nigerijskými adolescenty.
Boredom coping in the context of secondary education
Authors: Urbanova Denisa , Pavelkova Isabella
Published: February 2022

The article concerns the problematics of the boredom experience and especially boredom coping in Czech secondary school students (n = 460). The relationships between, on the one hand, reported boredom frequency, various aspects of state boredom experienced at school, trait boredom, grade point average and learning motivational characteristics and, on the other hand, different types of boredom coping strategies have been examined. Data were obtained using the Boredom Proneness Scale, Multidimensional State Boredom Scale, Coping with Boredom Scale, Learning Motivation Inventory and closed questions. Descriptive and inductive statistics were used to process the data. More and less risky boredom coping strategies were identified with regard to the boredom experience at school and grade point average. A key factor facilitating adaptive boredom coping appears to be the capability to find personal value in potentially boring tasks and to exert cognitive effort together with high levels of positive achievement motivation and conscientiousness with regard to schoolwork. Additionally, at least a certain level of cognitive motivation, which seems to be a key supportive factor, is needed. A risk factor with regard to rather maladaptive boredom coping appears to be the tendency to systematically employ avoidance or even escaping behavior. The results indicate that school boredom coping issues are very complicated and have numerous implications for further research.
Učení v reálném světě: zkušenosti s testováním modelu pro environmentální výchovu v přírodě
Authors: Kroufek Roman , Činčera Jan
Published: February 2022

Cílem studie je představit hlavní výsledky tříletého ověřování modelu Real World Learning určeného pro přípravu a realizaci programů venkovní environmen­tální výchovy. Výzkumu realizovaného na pěti pobytových programech se účastnili lektoři a vedoucí pracovníci center environmentální výchovy a žáci třetích až sed­mých ročníků základních škol a jejich doprovázející učitelé. Pomocí kvalitativních (rozhovor, ohniskové skupiny, pozorování) i kvantitativních (dotazník) výzkumných metod byly sledovány především následující proměnné související s modelem Real World Learning: zkušenostní učení, hodnoty, empowerment, srozumitelnost progra­mu a spokojenost s programem. Lektoři při realizaci programů inklinují k hodnotově orientovanému působení na účastníky, zaměřenému často na silné transformativní zážitky v přírodě. Tyto zážitky jsou účastníky pozitivně přijímány, žáci v programech oceňují prvky zkušenostního učení a zároveň netouží po přílišné autonomii směrem k ovlivňování obsahu a průběhu programu. Instrumentální přístup preferují také lek­toři, podpoření v tomto pohledu doprovázejícími učiteli. Ti vnímají programy přede­vším jako příležitost pro rozvoj sociálních kompetencí svých žáků. Z představených výsledků jsou vytvořena doporučení pro realizaci venkovních programů environmen­tální výchovy.
Vývoj koncepce výchovy v přírodě v kontextu vývoje mezinárodního a její vymezení v České republice
Authors: Neuman Jan , Turčová Ivana , Brtník Tomáš , Martin Andrew J.
Published: February 2022

V české akademické sféře se začal zvyšovat zájem o přesnější charakte­ristiku výchovy v přírodě v souvislosti s akreditováním studijních směrů, specializa­cí či oborů pod názvy „Aktivity v přírodě“ či „Výchova v přírodě“ nebo zařazováním předmětů podobných názvů do oborů pedagogického zaměření. Cílem této přehle­dové studie je předložit české odborné veřejnosti vývoj koncepce výchovy v přírodě v českém prostředí v kontextu vývoje mezinárodního. Vybrané zahraniční koncepce výchovy v přírodě jsou analyzovány a kriticky zhodnoceny. Dále se pokoušíme o vy­mezení výchovy v přírodě v České republice. Porovnáváme-li zaměření naší práce s různými teoriemi, přikláníme se ke strategii, kterou zvolil tým amerických odborní­ků vedený Kenem Gilbertsonem v roce 2006.

« Assouvir sa rancoeur » : le vengeur désenchanté chez Bokar N’Diaye et Patrick Serge Boutsindi
Authors: Togola Adama
Published: February 2022

This article analyses mechanisms of the organisation and the functioning of the discourse of vengeance in the francophone African novel through an examination of Bokar N’Diaye’s La Mort des fétiches de Sénédougou and Patrick Serge Boutsindi’s L’heure de la vengeance à Quenzé. From the avenger malgré lui to the disenchanted avenger, we discover a writing that explores the complexity of human emotions, such as anger, rancour, pride, honour, jealousy, rage and hate. In hypothesising that these two texts play with a fundamental ambivalence, reinforced by the semiotics of contempt, this article aims to study the methods through which writing links vengeance to social and cultural issues.
La puissante écriture intertextuelle de Marie Darrieussecq dans Il faut beaucoup aimer les hommes
Authors: Rodgers Catherine
Published: February 2022

In 2010 Marie Darrieussecq published Rapport de Police, Accusations de plagiat et autres modes de surveillance de la fiction as a response to the accusations of plagiarism brought against her by Camille Laurens and Marie NDiaye. In this essay she claims her right to an openly intertextual writing. Il faut beaucoup aimer les hommes belongs to this type of writing: Darrieussecq draws strong images from other texts to renew and extend them. In particular, she reworks certain topoi, such as love at first sight, heterosexual passion, and White-Black relations. Her main intertexts are Passion simple by Annie Ernaux, Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and Apocalypse Now, the film that Francis Ford Coppola made from it. She also uses several texts by Marguerite Duras, as well as songs, proverbs, key sentences, and anecdotes. She thus explores many clichés, including those relating to two legendary places, Hollywood and Africa. This rich intertextuality could have led to the dilution of her own voice if she had not also anchored her text in her own experience, by including the discreet presence of an auctorial I, and by ensuring through a large epitext that the autobiographical comparisons with its protagonist Solange are known as well as the fact that her text was also born from personal research on Africa and Hollywood. With Il faut beaucoup aimer les hommes, Darrieussecq has written a powerful and personal text despite, or rather thanks to, its vast intertextuality.
The dynamics of differentiation of wages among the employees of oil and gas industry during the1950s – 1980s (on the example of the “Tatneft”)
Authors: Aletkina Ekaterina Yur'evna
Published: February 2022

The question of the evolution of industrial motivation is a relatively new area of modern research in economic history. Active research on this topic in Russia began in the 1990s, relying mostly on the sources that characterize social aspects of industrial development of the Russian Empire and Soviet Russia of the 1920s – 1930s. The evolution of industrial motivation at the Soviet enterprises did not receive due attention. This article examines one of the key factors of industrial motivation –differentiation of wages based on the archival and published materials of the large oil and gas company “Tatneft”. The subject of this research is the dynamics of wages among various categories of Tatneft employees over the period from 1950s to 1980s. Research methodology leans on the principles of systematicity and historicism, as well as historical-comparative method and statistical analysis. The novelty lies acquisition of new knowledge on one of the crucial factors of incentivization and motivation of employees, as well as in introduction of new archival sources into the scientific discourse. The author concludes on the tendency towards equalize "net" salaries of different categories of employees of the company; however, the analysis of the dynamics of total wages of Tatneft employees taking into account bonuses, indicates a noticeable discrepancy.
