Access to the Healthcare in Remote Areas is Support for Poverty Reduction
Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, Hindu College, University of Delhi., Pandey Dr. Maneesha
Published: February 2024

In India, around 14.96% of the population lives in poverty despite implementation of a number of programmes to combat poverty. Most of the people who live in poverty have experienced some form of deprivation at some point of time in life although most of the poverty alleviation programmes to combat poverty aim to lessen the distress. A majority of the poor do not have access to poverty alleviation programmes for reasons ranging from backwardness, social deprivation, residing in remote areas, illiteracy, inaccessible healthcare etc. There is a lack of convergence between various programmes which is making it difficult to identify and meet the needs of targeted poor. If the poor have affordable or gratis access to healthcare, education and other services, they will be empowered to come out from the clutches of poverty and prevent it passing to the next generation. The contributions made by Akha Boat Clinics and Jan Swasthya Sahyog (JSS) are one such successful illustration that are supporting the poor to come out of poverty with access to reachable and affordable healthcare at doorstep. The health provisions made available to the poor by these two models of healthcare also in partnership with the governments on PPP model have improved the quality of life for those living in poverty in rural and remote areas.

Published: February 2024

An urgent solution is required to the pressing issue of the escalating environmental crises and the widening gap between humanity and the natural world. Climate change, deforestation, and rapid urbanization highlight the urgent need for all-encompassing policies that not only address ecological degradation but also promote a strong bond between people and the natural world. The study sought to understand how individuals' personal spiritual beliefs influenced their understanding of and commitment to ecological regeneration and rewilding. This was done in order to better understand the complex relationship that exists between spirituality and ecological regeneration, as expressed in the research title, "Rewilding our Hearts, Restoring our Land: Spiritual Perspectives on Ecological Regeneration." Deep Ecology provides a theoretical framework for examining the spiritual aspects of ecological regeneration. It permits an in-depth investigation of the ways in which people, guided by their spiritual convictions, can embrace ecocentric principles and support rewilding initiatives. This study conducted a thorough investigation of the complex relationship between spirituality and ecological regeneration using a qualitative research methodology. As part of the research methodology, participant observations with members of various spiritual communities were used to collect qualitative data. As a result, study has revealed the subtle facets of participants' lived experiences, beliefs, and practices that influence their relationships to the environment through in-depth interviews and participant observations within various spiritual communities. The participants demonstrated a commitment to responsible environmental stewardship and a heightened awareness of ecological interconnectedness, driven by their spiritual perspectives.

Football is the most famous place in the whole world; millions of people want to watch the great match of world football, the FIFA World Cup 2022, especially after two limited years without spectators due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the study was to compare (the limbs that scored the most goals with the right and left feet, goals with the head, and penalty kicks. Age of goal scorers <30 and > 30 years. Goals that occurred inside the penalty box and outside the penalty box. First-half and second-half goals. Analysis of goal creation in 2022 World Cup matched with a total of (n=64) matches with a total of 166 goals and 2 own goals in 90 minutes of normal time, 4 goals in additional time 2x15 minutes (average=2.68 goals per game). The analysis was carried out by hand notation. The analysis of goal scorers categorized by age groups indicated that players below the age of 30 accounted for 30.95% of the overall goals, whereas those above the age of 30 provided 41.66%. Notable patterns included the significant utilization of the right foot (41.66%) and major involvement of the left foot (30.95%). In addition, goals scored using the upper limbs or head made up 16.67% of the total, while penalty goals represented 9.52%. Then goals were scored by players aged <30 years 110 (66.3%) and goals from players aged 56 (33.7%). In the first half, goals were created 67 (39.88%), and in the second half, 101 (60.11%). There were 153 (91.07%) goals scored in the penalty box and 13 (7.73%) outside the penalty box. The golden age of footballers was still very real in contributing to the creation of goals in the World Cup; it was evident that 2/3 of the World Cup goals were created by players under 30 years old. In today's modern football, scoring goals with the right or left foot is comparable to the program implemented by the coach that requires every player to use both feet in any situation. Among all the goals scored, about 3.72% were accomplished with the right foot, which made a notable contribution to the total number of goals. Goals scored with the left foot constituted approximately 2.77% of the total, demonstrating the adeptness of players in utilizing both feet proficiently in scoring goals. Head strikes, was accounting for around 1.49% of all goals, highlight the significance of aerial skills and accuracy in scoring. Penalty kicks, a unique indicated of scoring goals, accounted for around 0.85% of the total goals, emphasizing the strategic importance of set-piece scenarios in a team's overall success.

Urbano performático: o espaço público como palco para intervenções corpográficas
Authors:   , Oliveira Camila de
Published: February 2024

Por considerar que a concretização das relações de urbanidade se faz por meio do contato do corpo com a cidade, este trabalho investiga a partir das relações corpo- arte-cidade, como a pandemia de COVID-19 afetou as formas de ocupação dos espaços urbanos por intervenções corpográficas, aqui entendidas como intervenções artísticas que tem o corpo como sua principal mídia de realização. Utiliza-se de abordagem fenomenológica para análise de intervenções realizadas por artistas do sudeste brasileiro em pequenas e médias cidades antes e durante a pandemia como produtoras de alterações na percepção da relação entre corpo e espaço urbano. Essas corpografias geradas, ainda que efêmeras, criam para os espaços onde ocorrem novas características, afetos e significados. As experiências geradas por essas intervenções transformam as relações entre corpo e espaço tanto para o artista como para quem assiste, mediadas pelo encontro e abrindo possibilidade para os acontecimentos que o processo de espetacularização das cidades restringe. Palavras-Chave: Corpo-cidade. Corpografia Urbana. Fenomenologia.

Towards Generalizable Crop-Agnostic Plant Disease Recognition: An Unsupervised-Learning Approach
Authors: Choi Dongmin , Devakirubai Blessina
Published: February 2024

In recent years, machine learning techniques have been incorporated in the agricultural industry to automate plant disease recognition. However, most existing frameworks are constrained to the recognition of certain species’ diseases, such as those of tomatoes, due to the severe imbalance in the published dataset. These methods tend to exhibit a strong bias towards specific plants, which require extensive retraining if the model were to accurately classify the disease of other plants. To ensure the system functions in a more realistic context, where images of various plants would be given, it is crucial to develop a generalized system that can recognize a diverse set of plants. To address the aforementioned problem, in this research paper, I propose a novel crop-agnostic plant detection framework. The method leverages contrastive learning, a type of unsupervised learning, to extract discriminative features from plant images regardless of their species. Moreover, the generalizable solution is capable of successfully distinguishing diseases from a dataset with imbalanced class and category. The method achieved an accuracy of 85.88% in the plant village dataset. Through experimental results, it has been demonstrated that the proposed method outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods by a significant margin.
High Performing Explanatory Fake News Classification on Longer Texts
Authors: She Chelsea , Greenberg Clayton
Published: February 2024

After misinformation became prevalent in 2020, the research community started prioritizing creating state of the art (SOTA) fake news detectors. However, these models did little in changing user attitudes towards misinformation. Therefore, we try to increase trust between users and AI fake news detectors by implementing an explanatory moderator. We started with two research questions: (1) can long texts like normal news articles perform well in current fake news detectors meant for short texts, and (2) can we create a fake news detector that can achieve comparable high performances to SOTA fake news detectors while representing its classifications in explainable visualizations. To fulfill our first research question, we picked WELFake, a dataset containing news articles from four different news platforms. In order to create a comparable, SOTA fake news detector performance, we ran preliminary models of Majority Class Baseline, Random Forest Classifier with bag of words, and the third place model from the AAAI 2021 Shared Task: COVID-19 Fake News Detection in English competition with WELFake. Lastly, we fulfilled our second research question by making a manually fine-tuned BERT model to access attention masks that we could visualize through BertViz. Our manually fine-tuned BERT model outperformed our comparable, SOTA Two-Fold Four-Model ensemble with a 99.99% test accuracy. We made conclusions that current SOTA fake news detectors made for short texts can perform the same level of accuracy with long texts and explanatory fake news detectors can be comparable to current SOTA models.
Assessing Criteria to Pick Ideal Moderators for Nuclear Fission Reactors
Authors: Vempalle Arif
Published: February 2024

The goal of this study is to find the best and most feasible compound(s) to use in a nuclear reactor as a moderator in order to achieve a chain reaction with maximum efficiency. To obtain a chain reaction with the most energy output per volume material used, neutrons need to be able to collide with radioactive material in a manner that will maximize the probability of fission. For this to happen, the cross section for fission must be exceptionally large. This is attainable by slowing down the speed of neutrons by use of a moderator. A number of criteria must be met for a moderator to be considered the most feasible. For one, it must be able to quickly thermalize neutrons from the MeV range down to a few eV. In this paper, we will define thermalization as reducing a neutron's energy from 2 MeV to 0.025 eV [3]. Second, it mustn’t have a high affinity for absorbing neutrons. And lastly, it must be cheap and abundant. If these criteria are met, one has found a good moderator. This study will primarily explore two substances: Zirconium Hydride and Yttrium Hydride, and their abilities to act as moderators for slow water reactors.
Transient Hyperthyroidism of Hyperemesis Gravidarum: A Case Report from Rural Kenya
Authors: Onyango Vonwicks C. , Malalu Collins P. , Fryda William C.
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the transient hyperthyroidism of hyperemesis gravidarum: A case report from rural Kenya.

Materials and Methods: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: Hyperthyroidism complicates 0.2-0.4% of pregnancies. It may be diagnosed in the setting of hyperemesis gravidarum and can be pathological or transient. Untreated pathological hyperthyroidism has adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Transient hyperthyroidism of hyperemesis gravidarum (THHG) affects up to 60% of women with hyperemesis, is self-limiting, and needs no antithyroid drug treatment. A diagnosis of THHG (rather than overt pathological hyperthyroidism) should be made when hyperthyroidism occurs in the setting of hyperemesis gravidarum and in the absence of pre-pregnancy hyperthyroidism, clinical findings compatible with maternal hyperthyroidism, and a negative antithyroid autoimmune profile. THHG resolves by the end of the first trimester without adverse pregnancy outcomes. We present a case from a rural Kenyan hospital to highlight the clinical profile and management of THHG for the primary care physician.

Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Assessment of thyroid functions is indicated in hyperemesis gravidarum, where there are clinical features of hyperthyroidism. THHG is a self-limiting benign condition that may inappropriately lead to unnecessary drug treatment for pathological hyperthyroidism in pregnancy. A diagnosis of THHG should be made when a laboratory picture of hyperthyroidism occurs in the setting of hyperemesis gravidarum in the absence of pre-pregnancy hyperthyroidism, compatible physical findings, and a negative antithyroid autoantibody profile.

A comparative analysis of achieving access to constitutional justice with the mechanism of notifying the Court of Justice of the European Union
Authors: TEBIEȘ Mălina
Published: February 2024

As a comparative analysis regarding the holders of the notification to the Constitutional
Court and the holders of the notification to the Court of Justice of the European
Union, we mention the fact that in both situations, the national court is the
main promoter and the one that has the role of filtering the request for
addressing the superior courts. We specify that other procedural subjects can
invest the court either with an exception of unconstitutionality or with a request
for a preliminary decision, for example the prosecutor or the parties in the
pending case.
In order for the referral with an exception to the constitutional court to be admissible, a
series of cumulative conditions must be met. If one of these conditions is not
met, the exception of unconstitutionality cannot pass the admissibility test, so
the national judge will no longer proceed to the stage of analyzing the merits of
the formulated exception. On the other hand, the request for a preliminary
ruling must refer to the interpretation or validity of Union law, and not to the
interpretation of the rules of national law or to factual issues invoked in the
main litigation. Furthermore, the Court can rule on the request for a preliminary
ruling only if Union law is applicable to the main case. From another perspective,
the attribute of determining whether there is a contradiction between the
national law and the treaty of the union belongs to the national court.
From a distinct perspective, the Constitutional Court showed, among other things, that
to the extent that the priority recognized to Union law is limited, in the
Romanian legal order, by the requirement to respect the national constitutional
identity, that it has the task of ensuring the supremacy of the Romanian
Constitution on its territory.
The effectiveness of the cooperation between the court and the national courts established
through the preliminary reference mechanism would be compromised if the
result of an exception of unconstitutionality before the Constitutional Court of a
member state could have the effect of discouraging the national court, seized
with a dispute governed by this law, to use the possibility or as the case may be
to fulfill the obligation resulting from article 267 TFEU to address to the court the questions regarding the interpretation or validity of certain acts of the said
law.
Perceived Importance of Inclusive Education Preparedness in Xinxiang Vocational and Technical College in Henan Province (China) Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Bantugan Brian Saludes , Kai Zhao
Published: February 2024

This study explored Xinxiang Vocational and Technical College’s (XVTC) readiness for inclusive education across four domains before and during the pandemic. It aimed to identify nuanced variations in importance levels within these domains and assess any significant differences in perceived importance between the specified periods. Conducted through a postpositivist paradigm and an online survey on Weibo, the study involved students, teachers, non-teaching staff, and administrators from both XVTC campuses. Using the modified Inclusive Education Preparedness Questionnaire (IEPQ) with 100 items, half measured the “level of importance” through Likert scales. Descriptive and inferential analyses, including T-tests and Pearson r correlation tests, processed the data. Participants consistently rated inclusive education as extremely important across all domains during both periods. Increased importance during the pandemic was noted in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, and Individual Student Support, with no significant change in Administration and Scheduling. The study rejected the null hypothesis for certain domains, indicating significant differences in perceived importance between pre-pandemic and pandemic periods but accepted the null hypothesis for correlations. Insights highlight the need for targeted interventions in specific domains to enhance inclusive education preparedness amid dynamic circumstances. Future studies should explore these variables among a marginalized student cluster in XVTC for proper comparison.

Published: February 2024

This study explored the nature of entrepreneurial education in the selected Agriculture Training Institutions (ATIs) for the Ministry of Agriculture and Live stocks in Zambia. To do this, the study explored Entrepreneurial Education challenges and opportunities in ATIs, widely acknowledged as a transformative tool for job creation in the country. The argument is that if entrepreneurship education is properly enhanced can provide self-reliance in the Zambia’s agriculture sector to attain sustainable socio-economic growth. The aim of the study was to explore the nature of entrepreneurial education in ATIs curricula; identify challenges, opportunities and ways to promote innovation and job creation through the provision of entrepreneurial education in the selected ATIs in Zambia. The study employed a mixed data collection process through purposive sampling procedures. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically while Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, graphs and tables. The findings show that the current ATI curricula and the National Agricultural Policy (NAP) did not adequately address entrepreneurial education in the agriculture sector because they were loosely developed and were production oriented. The study recommended inter alia that ATIs should create curricula that prioritize creativity, and innovation, utilizing blended interactive and reflective teaching methods to support entrepreneurial education.

A PXE (Pre-boot Execution Environment) boot server is a network protocol that allows a computer to boot and install an operating system over a network. It is a powerful tool that simplifies the installation process and reduces the risk of errors and inconsistencies, particularly in large organizations where multiple computers need to be provisioned with the same operating system and software. To set up a PXE boot server, a DHCP server and a TFTP server are required. Once the server is configured, the client computers need to be set up to boot from the network. The CTT Windows Utility is a handy script that provides an all-in-one solution for managing your operating system. After you launch the script via PowerShell with Administrator rights, you are welcomed by a four-tabbed interface where you can simply mark the settings or option you want. The five tabs included are representative for their roles, namely Installs, Tweaks, Config, Updates and MicroWin. The Installs tab provides a plethora of options in terms of basic applications recommended for the average user. The PXE boot server & CTT WinUtil tool can save time, reduce costs, and improve the overall efficiency of the IT infrastructure

Published: February 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global concern primarily driven by the overuse and inappropriate utilization of antimicrobials. In Nigeria, AMR is exacerbated by the routine sale of prescription-only medicines, including antimicrobials, without proper monitoring. The National Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance (2017-2022) highlighted widespread inappropriate antibiotic use, with significant proportions obtained without prescriptions. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in outpatient settings is a novel concept in Nigeria. This interventional study sought to contribute to the reduction of inappropriate antibiotic dispensing and use in community/outpatient settings in Nigeria, focusing on enhancing the skills and capacity of improved rational antibiotic therapy among community pharmacists and Patent and Proprietary Medicine Vendors (PPMVs), with the sole aim of improving patient health outcomes. The CAMS interventional study involves education, quality improvement capacity building, patient empowerment, and a multifaceted AMS strategy. Results from the CFID’s CAMS model indicated a significant improvement in the rational dispensing and use of antimicrobials within the intervention group, emphasizing the effectiveness of CAMS. Notable variations in post-visit actions between the intervention and monitoring groups further support the positive impact of the intervention. Variation in attitudes towards sharing of antibiotic to friends and relatives was reduced among the intervention group, offering clear understanding into the potential impact of CFID AMS outpatient setting (CAMS) intervention. The study’s conclusion underscores the pivotal role of implementing AMS in outpatient and community settings such as the CAMS interventional model in improving antibiotic-related practices in both urban and rural communities in Nigeria, emphasizing its relevance and impact.

Artificial intelligence is algorithmic mimicry: why artificial “agents” are not (and won’t be) proper agents
Authors: Jaeger Johannes
Published: February 2024

What is the prospect of developing artificial general intelligence (AGI)? I investigate this question by systematically comparing living and algorithmic systems, with a special focus on the notion of “agency.” There are three fundamental differences to consider: (1) Living systems are autopoietic, that is, self-manufacturing, and therefore able to set their own intrinsic goals, while algorithms exist in a computational environment with target functions that are both provided by an external agent. (2) Living systems are embodied in the sense that there is no separation between their symbolic and physical aspects, while algorithms run on computational architectures that maximally isolate software from hardware. (3) Living systems experience a large world, in which most problems are ill defined (and not all definable), while algorithms exist in a small world, in which all problems are well defined. These three differences imply that living and algorithmic systems have very different capabilities and limitations. In particular, it is extremely unlikely that true AGI (beyond mere mimicry) can be developed in the current algorithmic framework of AI research. Consequently, discussions about the proper development and deployment of algorithmic tools should be shaped around the dangers and opportunities of current narrow AI, not the extremely unlikely prospect of the emergence of true agency in artificial systems.

Published: February 2024

Introdução: a Bronquiolite viral aguda (BVA) é o 1o episódio de sibilância em menores de 1 ano, sua principal etiologia é o Vírus Sincicial Respiratório. A BVA possui alta morbidade e baixa mortalidade, sendo grupos de alto risco: prematuros, desmame precoce, cardiopatas, pneumopatas, desnutridos e tabagistas passivos. Objetivos: objetivou-se expor os índices de mortalidade de BVA nas regiões brasileiras, na faixa etária de 0-9 anos entre 2017 a 2021. Metodologia: realizou-se levantamento da taxa de óbitos por BVA por faixa etária nas regiões brasileiras, de 2017-2021, via DATASUS. Dentre a “mortalidade hospitalar do SUS – Brasil” selecionaram-se “óbitos por faixa etária segundo região – Brasil”, na categoria CID-BR-10: 075.1 Bronquiolite aguda. Resultados: no período estudado, os óbitos predominaram na região sudeste, seguidos, em ordem, das regiões nordeste, sul, norte e centro-oeste, com as proporções constantes no período. A maior taxa ocorreu em 2019 (n=267), com queda significativa de 72% (n=76) em 2020. Em 2021, houve aumento (n=197). A prevalência de óbitos em todos os anos foi maior nos menores de 1 ano. Conclusões: concluiu-se que a maior mortalidade ocorre em menores de 1 ano, com prevalência na região sudeste. O ano com menos mortes foi em 2020, fato possivelmente relacionado à subnotificação no início da pandemia de covid-19. Medidas profiláticas e de educação em saúde adaptadas a cada região, seriam eficazes na redução da mortalidade em pacientes de maior risco.
O impacto da senilidade no tratamento intra-hospitalar na fase aguda das síndromes coronarianas agudas
Authors: Vilarouca Nunes André
Published: February 2024

O presente estudo se concentra na análise de pacientes com Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio com elevação do segmento ST (IAMCST) em diferentes faixas etárias, com o objetivo de comparar as características do tratamento intra-hospitalar e os desfechos clínicos. Com base em dados do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil, o IAMCST é a principal causa de mortes isoladas no país, ressaltando a significativa carga de mortalidade em populações idosas, especialmente aquelas acima de 65 anos. Este estudo explora a marcante heterogeneidade nos desfechos dentro dos grupos etários. Foi adotada uma abordagem observacional, utilizando o Registro Cardiovascular de Brasília para Qualidade dos Cuidados e Resultados (B-Care: QCO), envolvendo pacientes consecutivos admitidos em hospitais públicos em Brasília-DF com Síndrome Coronariana Aguda (SCA). Análises descritivas e testes estatísticos, incluindo qui- quadrado, ANOVA e Kruskal-Wallis, foram aplicados para avaliar as relações entre idade, tratamento e desfechos clínicos. Os resultados destacam uma correlação substancial entre idade avançada e maior mortalidade intra-hospitalar e taxas de insuficiência cardíaca pós IAM. Embora o estudo não tenha identificado uma correlação significativa entre os tempos de tratamento e os desfechos, investigações adicionais são essenciais para elucidar janelas de tratamento ideais, considerando variáveis multifacetadas.

O PMMA é um polímero de microesferas sintéticas utilizado para preenchimentos injetáveis para fins estéticos. Por seu preço baixo e facilidade de acesso sua procura vem crescendo, porém, diversos autores citam danos causados por esta substância. Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar a morbidade em pessoas que utilizaram o PMMA com fins estéticos. Se trata de uma revisão integrativa de literatura que utilizou as bases de dados National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE) PUBMED, Scientific Eletronic Library (SCIELO), EMBASE, WEB OF SCIENCE e Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS). Dos 4383 artigos encontrados, após serem aplicados os critérios de inclusão e exclusão 13 artigos foram considerados elegíveis para este artigo. As principais morbidades encontradas foram nódulos, reações granulomatosas e edemas. Portanto observou-se que o PMMA não é uma substância recomendada para procedimentos estéticos, e cabe ao profissional informar o paciente sobre as possíveis complicações ocasionadas por esta substância. Os trabalhos científicos sobre este tema são considerados de baixo nível evidência, portanto são necessários estudos de melhor qualidade para identificar criteriosamente as morbidades ocasionadas pelo PMMA e sua ocorrência na população.
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) time series and velocities about a slowly convergent margin processed on high-performance computing (HPC) clusters: products and robustness evaluation

Abstract. The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a well-known and fundamental tool for crustal monitoring projects and tectonic studies, thanks to its high coverage and the high quality of the data they provide. In particular, at slowly convergent margins, where deformation rates are of the order of a few millimetres per year, GNSS monitoring proves to be beneficial in detecting the diffuse deformation responsible for tectonic stress accrual. Its strength lies in the high precision achieved by GNSS permanent stations, especially when long-term data and stable structures are available at the stations. North-eastern Italy is a tectonically active region located in the northernmost sector of the Adria microplate, slowly converging with the Eurasia plate, characterized by low deformation rates and moderate seismicity. It greatly benefits from continuous and high-precision geodetic monitoring, since it has been equipped with a permanent GNSS network providing real-time data and daily observations over 2 decades. The Friuli Venezia Giulia Deformation Network (FReDNet) was established in the area in 2002 to monitor crustal deformation and contribute to the regional seismic hazard assessment. This paper describes GNSS time series spanning 2 decades of stations located in north-eastern Italy and surroundings as well as the outgoing velocity field. The documented dataset has been retrieved by processing the GNSS observations with the GAMIT/GLOBK software ver10.71, which allows calculation of high-precision coordinate time series, position and velocity for each GNSS station by taking advantage of the high-performance computing resources of the Italian High-Performance Computing Centre (CINECA) clusters. The GNSS observations (raw and standard RINEX – Receiver INdependent EXchange – formats) and the time series estimated with the same procedure are currently daily continued, collected and stored in the framework of a long-term monitoring project. Instead, velocity solutions are intended for annual updates. The time series and velocity field dataset documented here are available on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8055800, Tunini et al., 2024).
Impacts of hydrofacies geometry designed from seismic refraction tomography on estimated hydrogeophysical variables

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Understanding the critical zone processes related to groundwater flows relies on subsurface structure knowledge and its associated parameters. We propose a methodology to draw the patterns of the subsurface critical zone at the catchment scale from seismic refraction data and show its interest for hydrological modelling. The designed patterns define the structure of a physically based distributed hydrological model applied to a mountainous catchment. With that goal, we acquired 10 seismic profiles covering the different geomorphology zones of the studied catchment. We develop a methodology to analyse the geostatistical characteristics of the seismic data and interpolate them over the whole catchment. The applied geostatistical model considers the scale variability of the subsurface structures observed from the seismic data analysis. We use compressional seismic wave velocity thresholds to identify the depth of the soil and saprolite bottom boundaries. Assuming that such porous compartments host the main part of the active aquifer, their patterns are embedded in a distributed hydrological model. We examine the sensitivity of classical hydrological data (piezometric heads) and geophysical data (magnetic resonance soundings) to the applied velocity thresholds used to define the soil and saprolite boundaries. Different sets of hydrogeological parameters are used in order to distinguish general trends or specificities related to the choice of parameter values. The application of the methodology to an actual catchment illustrates the interest of seismic refraction in constraining the structure of the critical zone subsurface compartments. The sensitivity tests highlight the complementarity of the analysed hydrogeophysical data sets.

What influences the dyadic relationship between the nonprofit CEO and board chair that drives fundraising and mission
Authors:   , Scott Margaret Anne
Published: February 2024

The thesis reported on the dyadic relationship between the CEO and board chair in Australian charities to determine how that relationship drives fundraising. It suggests an adaptation of Leader-Member Exchange Theory to Leader-Leader Exchange acknowledging the shared leadership roles of the CEO and board. Key findings were: Fundraising oriented leadership by the CEO is needed to drive fundraising effectively; Fundraising oriented leadership by the board is needed to drive fundraising effectively; and the CEO-board chair relationship can drive fundraising and mission and is more important than the individual CEO and board role.

Мақалада қазақ этнонимінің табиғи болмысы мен ерекшелігін, хронологиялық этнонимдік қабаттарын анықтауда, ру-тайпа атауларының бір тобы Кіші жүз этнонимдері құрамында кездесетін этнозоонимдері қарастырылады. Автор қазақ тіл білімінде төрт түлік мал атаулары лингвомәдени тұрғысынан зерттелсе де, оларды әлі де болса «ұлттың мәдени коды» ретінде ғылыми бір жүйеге түспегенін алға тартады. Зооним әлемі де бір дәуірдің не бір ғасырдың жемісі емес, ондаған жылдардың жемісі. Сондықтан олар сол жерде өмір сүрген адамдардың кәсібінде, не күн көрісінде және тұрмыс-тіршілігінде жетекші рөл атқарғанына, сондай-ақ, оның қасиеті мен тегін, ерекшеліктерін қадірлеп, оларға табынып, сыйынып отырғанына, кейін уақыт өте келе географиялық объектіге айналғанына назар аударады. Қоршаған ортадағы объективті-субъективті факторлардың әсерінен төрт түлік мал атау-сөздердің қатысуымен жасалған ру-тайпа (этноним) бойынан сол халықтың (ру, тайпа) арман-мақсатын, тыныс-тіршілігін, материалдық және рухани мәдениетін, т.б. бейнелейтін танымдық деректері халықтың ұлттық дүние танымының қалыптасуына ықпал етеді. Мақалада этнонимінің тарихи-тілдік қабаттарын айқындауда, социомәдени аспектілері арқылы этнозоонимді өлкетану материалдары ретінде жас ұрпақты патриотизм рухында тəрбиелеуге, туған жер тарихын терең білуге жəне белгілі бір өңірдің «Өлкетану» пəні бойынша жазылатын оқулықтар мен оқу құралдарына пайдалануға болады деген қорытындыға келеді. Сондай-ақ, еліміздің ономастикалық атласының электрондық жəне кітаптық каталогын əзірленуіне ықпал ету болып табылады.
