(x = 2, 3) Species
Authors: Piacentino Elettra L. , Öberg Karin I.
Published: November 2022

The distribution of molecules between the gas and solid phase during star and planet formation determines the trajectory of gas and grain surface chemistry, as well as the delivery of elements to nascent planets. This distribution is primarily set by the binding energies of different molecules to water ice surfaces. We computationally estimated the binding energies of 10 astrochemically relevant P-bearing species on water surfaces. We also validate our method for 20 species with known binding energies. We used Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations (M06-2X/aug-cc-pVDZ) to calculate the energetics of molecules and water-molecule clusters (1–3 H2O molecules) and from this determined the binding energy by comparing the complex and the separate molecule and cluster energies. We also explore whether these estimates can be improved by first calibrating our computational method using experimentally measured binding energies. Using the 20 reference molecules we find that the 2H2O cluster size yields the best binding energy estimates and that the application of a calibration to the data may improve the results for some classes of molecules, including more-refractory species. Based on these calculations we find that small P-bearing molecules such as PH3, PN, PO, HPO, PO2, and POOH are relatively volatile and should desorb prior or concomitantly with water ice, while H2PO, HPO2, PO3, and PO2OH can strongly bind to any hydroxylated surface and will likely remain on the interstellar grains surface past the desorption of water ice. The depletion of P carriers on grains constitutes a pathway for the inclusion of phosphorous molecules in planets and planetesimals.

Published: November 2022

Sun-as-a-star analyses in which observational data is spatially integrated are useful for interpreting stellar data. For future applications to stellar observations, we performed Sun-as-a-star analyses of Hα spectra for various active events on the Sun, not only for flares and filament eruptions/surges on the solar disk, but also for eruptions of off-limb prominences using Hα spectral images taken by the Solar Magnetic Activity Research Telescope/Solar Dynamics Doppler Imager at Hida Observatory, Kyoto University. All the analyzed events show emission relative to the pre-event state and the changes in their Hα equivalent widths are all on the orders of 10−4 Å. Sun-as-a-star Hα spectra exhibit different features depending on the causes of the emission: (i) flares show emission at the Hα line center, together with red asymmetry and line broadening, as reported in a previous study, (ii) filament eruptions with and without flares show emission near the Hα line center, accompanied by blueshifted/redshifted absorption; notably, the disappearance of dark filaments leads to the apparent enhancement of the Hα line center emission, and (iii) eruptions of off-limb prominences show blueshifted/redshifted emission. These spectral features enable us to identify the active phenomena on Sun-like stars. We have also found that even the filament eruptions showing redshifted absorptions in Sun-as-a-star Hα spectra lead to coronal mass ejections (CMEs). This result suggests that even if the falling components of stellar filament eruptions are detected as redshifted absorptions in Hα spectra, such stellar filament eruptions may also develop into CMEs.
Automatic Satellite Identification in Digital Images
Authors: Smith Jack
Published: November 2022

Using a digital camera on the roof of the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, images are continuously captured of the sky on a nightly basis to image satellites which pass overhead. Such satellites are seen in images as short lines since satellites move much quicker in the sky than stars, and up to 100 satellites can be imaged in one night. Using these images, software was developed (GitHub repository for code & documentation: https://github.com/Jack6228/STM_Final, or DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7304283.) to use known catalogs of artificial objects which orbit the Earth to determine which satellites can be seen in each image. This was achieved by comparing the expected positions of satellites in the catalog to those observed by the camera to identify matches. Overall, the project was a success and satellites are able to be identified approximately 85% of the time, which could help track space debris in a cheaper manner in a world where space is becoming increasingly more polluted.

Published: November 2022

The touristic use of caves causes multiple environmental alterations to the subterranean ecosystem, having potential effects on all components, from the atmosphere to lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Setting a baseline on the current knowledge of the ecological status of world show caves is pivotal to implement monitoring and management programs aiming at their conservation. However, information on this topic is scattered throughout several publications, making it difficult to access data and ultimately delaying advances towards a sustainable touristic use of show caves. We provide a literature-based dataset relative to the knowledge on the ecological status of 265 show caves worldwide. Data were collated from 289 papers selected through a systematic literature survey of an initial set of more than 1,000 scientific papers. We made the compiled information available through two complementary datasets, reporting: (i) references of the selected papers and (ii) 44 fields relative to the main characteristics of show caves investigated in literature. These fields encompass information about geographic locations, cave general characteristics, natural heritage, and the specific environmental components—and related environmental parameters—investigated in each of the considered study. Such a dataset improves our accessibility to the basic information provided by literature on the ecological status of show caves, also pointing out some literature gaps that should be addressed by future research. By making these data freely available and re-usable, we hope to stimulate research in the field of cave tourism, cave conservation, and cave-based ecology.
Hidden diversity in semi-fossorial Melanesian forest snakes: A revision of the Toxicocalamus loriae complex (Squamata, Elapidae) from New Guinea
Authors: Kraus Fred , Kaiser Hinrich , O’Shea Mark
Published: November 2022

With its conservative set of scalation characters, Toxicocalamus loriae is a morphologically confusing species to which a wide array of phenotypes has been assigned. Careful analysis of 224 museum specimens reveals that multiple distinct species remain hidden under the name T. loriae and that diagnostic, species-level differences are more nuanced in this group of snakes than among other members of the genus. Our taxonomic reassessment leads us to resurrect the species T. lamingtonicomb. nov., T. loennbergiicomb. nov., and T. nymanicomb. nov. from synonymy with T. loriae, retain only T. pratti as a synonym, and describe three new species. As a consequence, T. loriae is no longer recognized as ranging throughout the entire island of New Guinea but is instead restricted to the southern versant of the Papuan Peninsula, and T. lamingtoni and T. spilorhynchussp. nov. are species restricted to that same peninsula’s northern versant. Toxicocalamus loennbergii is known only from the type series taken on the Onin Peninsula in West Papua, Indonesia, Toxicocalamus atratussp. nov. is a high-elevation (800–2200 m) Central Highlands endemic, and T. vertebralissp. nov. ranges from the Central Highlands of Papua New Guinea eastward into the Wau area of Morobe Province. Toxicocalamus nymani inhabits a geologically more heterogenous region, occurring from the Central Highlands eastward to the Huon Peninsula, including Karkar Island, and adjacent areas of Madang Province as well as the northernmost reaches of the Papuan Peninsula. We expect that denser geographic sampling across New Guinea and focussed specimen collection of a few known populations will result in the recognition of additional species in this complex.

Published: November 2022

Studies using complete mitochondrial genome data have the potential to increase our understanding on gene organisations and evolutionary species relationships. In this study, we compared complete mitochondrial genomes between all 22 squamate species listed in South Korea. In addition, we constructed Maximum Parsimony (MP), Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) phylogenetic trees using 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes. The mitochondrial genes for all six species in the suborder Sauria followed the same organisation as the sequenced Testudines (turtle) outgroup. In contrast, 16 snake species in the suborder Serpentes contained some gene organisational variations. For example, all snake species contained a second control region (CR2), while three species in the family Viperidae had a translocated tRNA-Pro gene region. In addition, the snake species, Elaphe schrenckii, carried a tRNA-Pro pseudogene. We were also able to identify a translocation of a tRNA-Asn gene within the five tRNA (WANCY gene region) gene clusters for two true sea snake species in the subfamily Hydrophiinae. Our BI phylogenetic tree was also well fitted against currently known Korean squamate phylogenetic trees, where each family and genus unit forms monophyletic clades and the suborder Sauria is paraphyletic to the suborder Serpentes. Our results may form the basis for future northeast Asian squamate phylogenetic studies.
Does FinTech drive asymmetric risk spillover in the traditional finance?
Authors: Sun Huayu , Zou Fanqi , Mo Bin
Published: November 2022

The rapid development of fintech has caused a great impact on traditional financial industries. It improves the quality of financial services but also buries potential risks at the same time. This paper takes China's FinTech and traditional financial industry as the research objects based on the daily yield data from 2019 to 2022. First, we measure the systemic risk index ∆CoVaR (Conditional Value at Risk) of the FinTech industry and traditional financial industries after effectively fitting the marginal distribution of industry return data. Second, we decompose the systemic risk sequences of FinTech and traditional financial industries to obtain the data at different frequencies with the combination of the frequency decomposition method. Finally, we use the quantile-on-quantile regression model to analyze the risk spillover effect of the FinTech industry driving traditional financial industries in different frequencies under different risk states. The article draws the following conclusion: first, in general, the peak of the positive risk spillover impact of FinTech on the traditional industries is mainly concentrated in the high quantile of FinTech, while the peak of the negative impact is mainly concentrated in the low quantile of FinTech. Second, the risk spillover impact direction of FinTech on the five traditional financial industries mainly changes from negative to positive under high trading frequency and low trading frequency, and takes a U-shape in medium trading frequency.

In this paper, we establish a new iterative process for approximation of fixed points for contraction mappings in closed, convex metric space. We conclude that our iterative method is more accurate and has very fast results from previous remarkable iteration methods like Picard-S, Thakur new, Vatan Two-step and K-iterative process for contraction. Stability of our iteration method and data dependent results for contraction mappings are exact, correspondingly on testing our iterative method is advanced. Finally, we prove enquiring results for some weak and strong convergence theorems of a sequence which is generated from a new iterative method, Suzuki generalized non-expansive mappings with condition $ (C) $ in uniform convexity of metric space. Our results are addition, enlargement over and above generalization for some well-known conclusions with literature for theory of fixed point.
La dualidad del espacio público urbano contemporáneo
Authors: García-Doménech Sergio
Published: November 2022

La complejidad de la ciudad contemporánea apunta hacia el espacio público como lugar en el que percibir experiencias tanto estéticas como sociales. Por un lado, la estética urbana utiliza herramientas como el paisaje urbano y el arte público para estimular la percepción de lo bello en la ciudad. Por otra parte, el espacio urbano requiere de la actividad social para asentar su condición pública. Esta variable social, tanto en su vertiente perceptiva como participativa, presenta relaciones con el factor estético mediante la interacción entre el medio físico y la sociedad que lo habita. La interpretación dual del espacio público como objeto estético y como fenómeno social contribuye a consolidar las nociones de lugar e identidad en la ciudad.

El teatro judío en Francia. La invención de un género sobre la base de prejuicios raciales (1880-1910)
Authors: Pubill Brugués Joan
Published: November 2022

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es examinar cómo se conceptualizó la noción de teatro judío entre los años de la aventura boulangista y las postrimerías del afer Dreyfus, período histórico en que se formó la cultura política contrarrevolucionaria. A través de los escritos y críticas teatrales de las revistas y periódicos nacionalistas y antisemitas más representativos, tales como La Cocarde, La Libre Parole, Le Soleil, L’Œuvre, L’Action française bi-mensuelle, L’Action française y La Revue Critique des Idées et des Livres, el artículo pretende analizar los tropos culturales, intelectuales y expresivos que sirvieron de base para modelar el concepto de teatro judío como expresión racial de la desazón de los sectores nacionalistas antisemitas a los profundos cambios provocados por la modernidad.

El análisis se dividirá en dos partes. En primer lugar, se identificarán las lógicas discursivas y los valores subyacentes a la subjetividad neoliberal actual representados en la película. En segundo lugar, se analizará la reivindicación social y de corte más propositivo que se encuentra implícita en la película, siempre enmarcada en el sentido general del cine social de Loach, para señalar los nuevos valores sociales que se reivindican en ella.
An Efficient Lightweight Network Based on Magnetic Resonance Images for Predicting Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Ji Boan , Wang Huabin , Zhang Mengxin , Mao Borun , Li Xuejun
Published: November 2022

Brain magnetic resonance images (MRI) are widely used for the classification of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The size of 3D images is, however, too large. Some of the sliced image features are lost, which results in conflicting network size and classification performance. This article uses key components in the transformer model to propose a new lightweight method, ensuring the lightness of the network and achieving highly accurate classification. First, the transformer model is imitated by using image patch input to enhance feature perception. Second, the Gaussian error linear unit (GELU), commonly used in transformer models, is used to enhance the generalization ability of the network. Finally, the network uses MRI slices as learning data. The depthwise separable convolution makes the network more lightweight. Experiments are carried out on the ADNI public database. The accuracy rate of AD vs. normal control (NC) experiments reaches 98.54%. The amount of network parameters is 1.3% of existing similar networks.

Published: November 2022

The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of smartphone addiction in the association between vulnerability and relationship satisfaction among younger adults living in Turkey. The relationship assessment scale, the smartphone addiction scale-short version, the psychological vulnerability scale, and the social vulnerability scale were applied to 326 university students. Structural equation modelling showed that vulnerability has a significantly direct effect on relationship satisfaction, and smartphone addiction can partially mediate the impact of vulnerability on relationship satisfaction. The bootstrapping techniques confirmed that smartphone addiction had a partial mediation effect between vulnerability and relationship satisfaction. These data may help clinicians and researchers to better understand the consequences of vulnerability and underlying the processes of smartphone addiction and relationship satisfaction.

Destroying the City, Burning the fields: Towards a New Testament Concept and Definition of Corruption
Authors: Speckman McGlory
Published: November 2022

The aim of this article is to construct a New Testament concept and definition of the
phenomenon of corruption. It contends that current definitions which are based on the World Bank’s and Transparency International’s political-materialistic definitions either miss or ignore the “unique” position adopted by New Testament writers whose focus is on the protection of the ideal, that is, the “common good”, against disruptors’ destructive actions. Pursuant to its aim and with some assistance from socio-literary criticism, the article pays special attention to Luke-Acts, the epistles and Greek terminology for corruption. It then concludes that while there is no direct reference to abuse of material resources or public office in the New Testament, any behaviour that is tantamount to subverting the vision of the common good is viewed as corruption; it is no different from the “destruction of the city” or “burning of the fields”.
Firearms as a means of committing criminal offenses
Authors: Serhieieva Diana , Kulyk Maryna , Antoniuk Polina , Marko Sergii , Isagova Nataliia
Published: November 2022

The article analyzes the current legislation on weapons and the opinion of scientists on firearms, ammunition, explosives or explosive devices. The fundamental importance of firearms in the forensic characterization of crimes is emphasized. It is noted that firearms are goods subject to a special regime of regulation, which can be carried out only by the Law of Ukraine. It is a particular type of weapon intended for attack, defense or sound signals, which is set off by the energy of gunpowder combustion gas. The authors’ definition of firearms is given and the characteristic features of ammunition, explosives and explosive devices are highlighted. It is concluded that, for the purpose of legislative regulation of relations arising during the circulation of civilian firearms, as well as similar to weapons and ammunition products, in particular, to avoid free interpretation of the assessment of the actions of a person involved in crimes with the use of weapons, the development of a corresponding law comprehensively regulating this criminal methery is needed.

Published: November 2022

The purpose of the article was to identify and reveal the main contemporary modern legislative initiatives aimed at ensuring the expression of will by means of information technology. The main methodological tools applied in the study were comparative legal analysis and observational method. The study showed that effective manifestation of will requires further implementation of state-of-the-art systems of electronic petitions, digital resources and electronic voting. Relevant legislative initiatives should serve to increase the capacity for citizen participation and discussion. It is substantiated that the priority directions of changes in legal systems should be: 1) reforms aimed at closing the digital divide in access to information technologies; 2) technical improvement of the electronic voting procedure; 3) increasing the relevant informatization of citizens; 4) ensuring maximum protection of the state digital environment. Special attention should be paid to the legal development of a comprehensive technocratic approach. It is concluded that it is desirable to apply hybrid technology for the people to realize their right to vote and give them more opportunities to participate in the processes of governance and digital governance.

Published: November 2022

The aim of the article was to identify the current state of the process of civil society transformation in the context of political radicalism in Eastern Europe. Comparative law and statistical analysis were the main methodological tools. The research showed that the development of political radicalism in Eastern Europe leads to the transformation of civil society. A more persistent and contentious public makes new demands on the political process. It also creates multidimensional tensions and conflicts. Representatives of radicalism gain strong positions in the political environment of society by supporting illiberalism, ethno-nationalism, culture wars and alternative knowledge. The process of merging militant and violent radicalism with family ethnonationalism is ongoing in the countries of Eastern Europe. It is concluded that this phenomenon requires constant implementation of political, legal and security strategies to prevent manifestations of political radicalism. The appropriateness and prospects of the activities of the Radicalization Awareness Network, developed by the European Union, were established.

Published: November 2022

The objective of the study was to determine the forms of media involvement in justice for crimes against the civilian population. The research was conducted using the methods of systems approach, descriptive analysis, forecasting, systematic sampling and comparative method. The mass media as an institution of civil society have ample opportunities for active participation in justice, in particular, in the detection and documentation of crimes, social support to victims, coordination of efforts of governmental and non-governmental entities. The media is an active subject in justice for crimes against the civilian population. However, their functions are not of a legal nature; they are aimed at establishing the completeness and objectivity of the facts. It is concluded that the prospects for the development of media activities envisage the model, which focuses on the detection and documentation of crimes, in particular through the latest technologies; provision of social support and opportunities for victims to express their position while facilitating the coordination of efforts between governmental and non-governmental entities interested in justice for crimes against civilians.

Published: November 2022

The article analyzes the origins and development of the Russian-Ukrainian war through the prism of the study of the historical background of the conflict. The purpose of the article is a historical and retrospective analysis of the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2014-2022. The historical-comparative method was important for the research. Using the method of historical analogy, the methods of the war between Russia and Nazi Germany are compared. Structural-functional, retrospective, synchronic and diachronic research methods are also used in the work. The results show that the origins of the Russian-Ukrainian war have a certain civilizational basis. Only the conquest of Ukrainian lands by the Russian Empire and the domination of the USSR "silenced" the previous wars. In recent years, V. Putin initiated an aggressive revival of Russia's influence in the post-Soviet space. In its policy, Russia has relied on easy-to-manage enclaves, which have become preparatory bases for further expansion of Russian influence in the region. The conclusions show that Russia is losing the war. Russia is gradually becoming a terrorist state, while Ukraine is receiving strong comprehensive international support.

Social and legal problems of discrimination by age in the medical field
Authors: Gren Nataliia , Hutsuliak Olena , Dostdar Ruslana , Peresh Ivan , Roshkanyuk Vadym
Published: November 2022

The article aims to analyze the medical and legal aspects of human equality. Discrimination in the medical field affects both medical personnel and patients. The authors have used the method of comparison of legal regulations of various states, the systematic method, which allowed to reconcile the approaches: medical and legal and the synergistic method as a method of development of a modern globalizing society. It has been found that the typical policy of agism includes the requirement to examine elderly physicians as to their competence or skills without objective and substantiated reasons. Everything leads to the conclusion that, discrimination of elderly patients manifests itself in treating them with less respect and courtesy and providing a worse level of services in medical institutions. Discrimination of gediatric patients is caused by their lack of legal opportunity to express their opinion on consent or voluntary refusal of treatment, including vaccinations.

Authors: Mahdavi Zargar Sahand , Moazami Shahla , Azimzadeh Shadi
Published: November 2022

The increased commission of sex crimes in Iran highlights the need for more efforts to design strategies towards prevention and reduction of such crimes. Accordingly, the present research aimed to identify the factors affecting the sexual victimization of children and adolescents as well as to identify the personality characteristics of sex delinquents in the criminal justice system of Iran. The research method is mixed design in terms of data nature (qualitative and quantitative) and practical in terms of purpose. The qualitative section has reviewed the previous literature and the quantitative section has benefited from the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). This research has used the opinions of 13 experts in the field of crimes against children and adolescents, and 43 sex offenders. The research findings led to the identification of six factors (social, economic, psychological, legal, executive, media) that are effective on the prevention and postvention of sexually abused children and adolescents in Iran. The highest rank is related to the economic and social factors, and the lowest rank is related to the media factors. The results of this study showed that the identified parameters are approved by experts and have theoretical support that can be effective in reducing sexual delinquency.

El Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck o limón como comúnmente se le conoce, resulta un valioso recurso medicinal, cuya actividad farmacológica principal está asociada a la actividad flebotónica o de disminución de la fragilidad capilar, siendo sustitutiva de fármacos importados y de gran déficit en la red de farmacias cubanas. Sus formulaciones oficiales emplean la corteza de la cáscara del fruto seco, materia prima de difícil obtención. Por ello en el presente trabajo se realiza un estudio de reformulación en la que se preparan por el método de maceración durante 3 días un total de seis tinturas de Citrus limon (L.) al 20%, empleando como materia prima el fruto entero fresco con y sin zumo; así como la corteza seca anteriormente descrita y un disolvente en concentraciones diferentes: Etanol al 50 y 70 %. Las tinturas son caracterizadas en sus propiedades físicas, físico-químicas y químicos cualitativos y además se les determina su estabilidad por 30 días a través de estos propios parámetros: pH, índice de refracción, densidad y sólidos totales (NRSP 312). Los resultados revelan que ninguna de las variantes que emplearon el fruto entero fresco de Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck como materia prima resulta equivalente a la calidad obtenida para las tinturas preparadas a partir de la corteza seca del fruto con valores de pH mucho más ácidos y la mitad del contenido de sólidos totales. El estudio de estabilidad demuestra que las seis tinturas preparadas resultan estables por un período de 30 días en las condiciones de estudio consideradas.
EFFECT OF VESICULAR ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZA (VAM) INOCULANTS ON GROWTH OF TOMATO
Authors: Zargar Javid Iqbal , Balwan Wahied Khawar
Published: November 2022

Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic association with roots of most terrestrial plants including many agricultural crops. These are known to occur globally in a broad range of dissimilar environments from arctic to tropic and occupy a wide range of ecological niches. The role of VAM fungi in the improvement of crop plants is well documented. VAM fungi are known to improve the nutrient status of the plants, increase growth and development, protect plants against pathogens and confer resistance to drought and salinity. Sustainable agriculture has become a serious issue due to the energy crisis and environmental issues. Therefore, agricultural production is aimed to produce maximum output with minimum input. During agricultural production it is necessary to use organic fertilizers rather than chemical fertilizers. In the present study, authors assessed the efficacy of inoculants of three species of VAM fungi singly and in combination, on growth of tomato.

LINGUISTIC MEANS OF EXSPRESSING THE AUTHOR’S BICULTURAL IDENTITY (BASED ON MODERN FICTION)
Authors:   Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University M. Kotsiubinsky – Vinnytsia, Ukraine, Bryk Maryna
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to the study of linguistic means of conveying the bicultural identity of the author in his literary works. The novel of the modern Russian-speaking writer E. Safarli “Sweet Salt of the Bosphorus” was chosen as the material for the study, in which the author creates a variant of the image of Turkish culture. The image is considered as a fragment of the linguistic consciousness of the individual through the prism of his ethnicity. The procedure for describing the linguistic picture of the world of an author with a bicultural identity lies in the analysis of linguistic units that create an image of the other culture and correlate with the traditional model of a linguistic personality.
