Authors: Keçe Dilşah , Çeliktaş Hatice
Published: November 2024

Bu araştırmada özel yetenek sınavıyla öğrenci alan öğretmenlik programları için 2020 yılından beri uygulanan Temel Yeterlik Testi (TYT) 800 bin sıralaması ön koşulunun müzik öğretmenliği programlarının özel yetenek sınavlarına ve öğrenim sürecine yansımasının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Karma bir araştırma olarak tasarlanan araştırmada, Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi çalışma grubu olarak belirlenmiş ve ilgili durum birkaç boyutuyla incelenmiştir. Öncelikle BUÜ’nün 2016-2023 yılları arasında yayınladığı özel yetenek sınavı kılavuzları ve bu yıl aralığında öğrenim gören öğrencilerin lise mezuniyeti açısından alan içi ve alan dışı sayısal dağılımları incelenmiştir. İnceleme sonucunda 2020 yılı itibarıyla yetenek sınavlarının tek aşamalı olarak yürütüldüğü ve müziksel işitme alanında daha düzeyli sayılabilecek bazı soru türlerinin kaldırıldığı, ön koşulun alan içinden gelen öğrenci sayısında önemli bir azalmaya, alan dışından gelen öğrenci sayısında ise belirgin bir artışa neden olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmada ayrıca BUÜ’de öğrenim gören öğrencilerin ve öğretim elemanlarının görüşleri alınmıştır. Bu kapsamda öğrencilere bir anket uygulanmış ve öğrenciler arasında farklı lise türlerinden, farklı yaş gruplarından olan ve ikinci üniversitesini okuyan öğrencilerin bulunduğu, ilk yıl yerleşemeyen öğrencilerin yerleşememe nedenlerinin çoğunlukla TYT sınavı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Görüşme yapılan öğretim elemanları ise TYT’ye getirilen ön koşul uygulamasının kaldırılmaması, bunun yerine Güzel Sanatlar Liselerinin eğitim içeriklerinin bu sınava uygun hale getirilmesi gerektiğini belirtmişlerdir.

Published: November 2024

This study evaluates the implementation and impact of digital educational tools in foreign language classrooms from both educators' and students' perspectives in Serbian secondary schools before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The research investigates the digital tools used, the challenges faced, and the perceived benefits of these tools in enhancing teaching and learning experiences. Quantitative data were collected through online surveys administered to 173 language teachers and 126 fourth-year secondary students, focusing on their experiences with digital tools in various instructional models—traditional, online, and hybrid. Results reveal significant discrepancies between teachers' and students' perceptions of digital tool usage and its frequency. While the majority of teachers reported frequent use of digital tools, students indicated less frequent exposure. Key findings indicate that digital tools like Google Classroom, Kahoot!, and Quizziz were widely used during the pandemic and continued to be utilized post-pandemic. Teachers highlighted the need for comprehensive training in digital competencies to integrate these tools into their teaching practices effectively. Both educators and students acknowledged the benefits of digital tools in creating dynamic and engaging learning environments, yet challenges such as maintaining student motivation and balancing attention in hybrid models were noted. This study underscores the importance of aligning training programs with teachers' needs and suggests future research to assess the effectiveness of such programs and explore non-technology-related factors influencing digital tool adoption in foreign language teaching.

Published: November 2024

Döner kanatlı insansız hava araçları (İHA), çeşitli uygulamalarda sağladıkları esneklik nedeniyle dikkat çekmektedir. Çeşitli alanlarda, geniş bir yelpazede kullanılan döner kanatlı İHA’ların daha fazla yaygınlaşmasının önündeki en büyük engel, bataryalarının kısa sürede deşarj olmasından dolayı havada kalma sürelerinin kısa olması olarak görülmektedir. Döner kanat İHA’lar da kullanılan lityum polimer (Lipo) bataryaların bir diğer dezavantajlı durumu ise kullanım ömrüdür. Lipo bataryaların toplam verebildiği akım miktarının bir göstergesi olan pil seviyesi sürekli kontrol edilmemesi ve bu seviyenin 20%’nin altına düşüşü pil ömrünü kısaltmakta ve zaman zaman yapısını tamamen bozarak İHA’yı çeşitli kırımlara uğratabilmektedir. Özellikle otonom olarak sürekli görevlerde kesintisiz çalıştırılmak istenen döner kanatlı İHA'ların; pil ömrünün uzatılması ve belirli bir pil seviyesine indiğinde otonom olarak en yakın şarj istasyonuna güvenli inişleri önem taşımaktadır. Bu çerçevede yapılan çalışmada, belirlenen bir güzergah boyunca otonom uçan bir İHA'nın iniş platformuna yatay olarak yaklaşırken ve bu platforma dikey iniş yaparken batarya seviyesindeki azalma miktarı, makine öğrenmesi algoritmaları kullanılarak tahmin edilmiştir. Uçuş sonunda, İHA'nın güvenli bir şekilde istenilen batarya seviyesinde yere iniş yapması hedeflenmiştir. Yatay seyir sırasında, güzergah noktaları üzerinde anlık veriler kullanılarak tahminler yapılmıştır. Dikey iniş esnasında ise, görüntü işleme teknikleri kullanılarak, farklı irtifalardan indirilen İHA'dan elde edilen verilerle tahminler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında tasarlanan İHA ile gerçek saha koşullarında ve farklı irtifalarda testler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kalkış öncesinde, İHA’ya belirli bir batarya seviyesi bildirilmiş ve uçuşa başlanmıştır. Uçuş sonrasında ise İHA’nın batarya seviyesi kontrol edilerek başlangıç seviyesi ile arasındaki farklar gözlemlenmiştir. Yapılan testlerde, en yüksek 3%, en düşük ise 0% batarya seviyesi farkına ulaşılmıştır.Bu çerçevede yapılan çalışmada, belirlenen bir güzergah boyunca otonom uçan bir İHA'nın iniş platformuna yatay olarak yaklaşırken ve bu platforma dikey iniş yaparken batarya seviyesindeki azalma miktarı, makine öğrenmesi algoritmaları kullanılarak tahmin edilmiştir.

Published: November 2024

Proteins, the primary building blocks of the cell membrane, play crucial roles in communication between cells as well as interactions with the extracellular matrix. They make for an excellent resource for disease identification due to their potential as biomarkers. In order to perform the study, HEL-299 (CCL-137™) and NCI-H209 lung cells were incubated at 37°C in a chamber that contained 5% CO2. Trypsinization was used to transfer the cells into Eppendorf tubes. Proteomics analyses were carried out using LC-QTOF equipment, and the corresponding procedures of denaturation, alkynylation, trypsinization, and purification were carried out by adding the required chemicals. The Searchquie and PeptideShacker software interfaces were used to assess the analysis findings. Proteins that differ across groups are displayed by classifying them based on their roles as cellular components, molecular activities, and biological processes. Proteomics data showed that the lung cancer cell line NCI-H209 lacked 14 proteins that were present in the healthy lung cell HEL-299. These are the proteins ANK3, PIK3R2, INPP5F, HSF1, VIM, NFAM1, SHROOM3, ETV4, RNF31, LMNA, BRD8, PRTN3, TERT, SMAD9. There were discovered to be 5 distinct proteins in the lung cancer group compared to healthy lung HEL-299 cells. These proteins are AHSG, NCOA6, VCP, DNAJC19, NCL. Given the heterogeneity of lung cancer, a thorough and in-depth investigation of lung cancer proteome profiling is necessary for effective target treatment. The examination of proteins as prospective lung cancer biomarker candidates shows that it will make up a viable source for clinical investigations. These proteins differ in the direction in this study. Potential clinical applications of the biomarkers identified in this study, such as early diagnosis, monitoring treatment response, and determining disease prognosis, may contribute to the development of personalized medicine approaches.

Abstract. Tropospheric ozone results from in situ chemical formation and stratosphere–troposphere exchange (STE), with the latter being more important in the middle and upper troposphere than in the lower troposphere. Ozone photochemical formation is nonlinear and results from the oxidation of methane and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) in the presence of nitrogen oxide (NOx=NO+NO2). Previous studies showed that O3 short- and long-term trends are nonlinearly controlled by near-surface anthropogenic emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and nitrogen oxides, which may also be impacted by the long-range transport (LRT) of O3 and its precursors. In addition, several studies have demonstrated the important role of STE in enhancing ozone levels, especially in the midlatitudes. In this article, we investigate tropospheric ozone spatial variability and trends from 2005 to 2019 and relate those to ozone precursors on global and regional scales. We also investigate the spatiotemporal characteristics of the ozone formation regime in relation to ozone chemical sources and sinks. Our analysis is based on remote sensing products of the tropospheric column of ozone (TrC-O3) and its precursors, nitrogen dioxide (TrC-NO2), formaldehyde (TrC-HCHO), and total column CO (TC-CO), as well as ozonesonde data and model simulations. Our results indicate a complex relationship between tropospheric ozone column levels, surface ozone levels, and ozone precursors. While the increasing trends of near-surface ozone concentrations can largely be explained by variations in VOC and NOx concentration under different regimes, TrC-O3 may also be affected by other variables such as tropopause height and STE as well as LRT. Decreasing or increasing trends in TrC-NO2 have varying effects on TrC-O3, which is related to the different local chemistry in each region. We also shed light on the contribution of NOx lightning and soil NO and nitrous acid (HONO) emissions to trends of tropospheric ozone on regional and global scales.

Abstract. Forest fire dynamics are expected to alter due to climate change. Despite the projected increase in precipitation, rising temperatures will amplify forest fire risk from the present to the end of the century. Here, we analysed changes in fire season, the number of fires, and burnt area in Fennoscandia from 1951 to 2100. Regional simulations from the JSBACH–SPITFIRE ecosystem model (where SPITFIRE stands for SPread and InTensity of FIRE) were performed under two climate change forcing scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and RCP 8.5) and three global climate driver models (CanESM2, CNRM-CM5, and MIROC5) with a 0.5° resolution. Simulations were forced by downscaled and bias-corrected EURO-CORDEX data. Generally, as a consequence of the projected longer fire season and drier fuel, the probability of fires is projected to increase. However, changes in fire season, the number of fires, and burnt area are highly dependent on climate projections and location. The fire season is estimated to increase on average from 20 ± 7 to 52 ± 12 d, starting from 10 ± 9 to 23 ± 11 d earlier and ending from 10 ± 10 to 30 ± 16 d later, compared to the reference period (1981–2010), by the end of the century (2071–2100). The results for Finland indicate a change in the number of fires, ranging from −7 ± 4 % to 98 ± 56 %, and a change in burnt area, ranging from −19 ± 24 % to 87 ± 42 %. These findings contribute to a better understanding of potential changes in the future fire seasons of northern Europe.
Reviews and syntheses: Tufa microbialites on rocky coasts – towards an integrated terminology
Authors: Garner Thomas W. , Cooper J. Andrew G. , Smith Alan M. , Rishworth Gavin M. , Forbes Matt
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Microbialites are known from a range of terrestrial, freshwater, marine, and marginal settings. The descriptive terminology used in each instance depends largely on the historical legacy derived from previous studies in similar environments. This has led to a diversity of nomenclature and a lack of conformity in the terms used to describe and categorise microbialites. As the role of microbial mats and biofilms is increasingly recognised in the formation of tufa and terrestrial carbonates, deposits such as tufa microbialites bridge the spectrum of microbialites and terrestrial carbonate deposits. Groundwater spring-fed tufa microbialites in supratidal rock coast environments that occur at the interface of terrestrial and marine domains demonstrate the need for an integrative and systematic nomenclature approach. To date, their global distribution and complex relationships with pre-defined deposits have resulted in the application of a variety of descriptive terminologies, most frequently at the macro- and mesoscale. Here we review and consolidate the multi-scale library of terminologies for microbialites and present a new geomorphological scheme for their description and classification. This scheme has greater alignment with terrestrial carbonate nomenclature at the macroscale and with marine and lacustrine microbialites at the mesoscale. The proposed terminology can primarily be applied to tufa microbialites in spring-fed supratidal environments but may also be applicable in other relevant depositional environments including terrestrial carbonates, microbial mats, and other microbialites.
Representing improved tropospheric ozone distribution by including lightning NOx emissions in CHIMERE

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Estimating nitrogen oxide emissions from lightning (LNOx) in models is highly uncertain, affecting the accuracy of atmospheric composition and air quality assessments. Still, it is essential to include the emissions in model to increase the realism in representing the model outcomes. LNOx emissions have recently been incorporated into the updated version of the CHIMERE model (v2023r2). In the present study, we evaluate the present state of modelling the lightning flashes and the LNOx emissions, using a classical scheme based on cloud top height (CTH) and the model CHIMERE. We asses the impact of LNOx on tropospheric ozone (O3) concentration over the northern hemisphere (NH) through a detailed evaluation of simulated tropospheric O3. The total NO emission from lightning is estimated as 8.82 Tg N yr−1 over the NH. There is an overall increase in O3 concentration due to inclusion of LNOx. The increase is highest in the mid to upper troposphere, specifically over the tropics. The comparison of the simulated O3 to measurements shows that the inclusion of LNOx emissions substantially improves the tropospheric O3 distribution, reducing bias significantly. This is particularly true for the free troposphere over the tropical region. The LNOx emissions hence critically influence the O3 concentration as well as the concentration of hydroxyl radicals (OH). There are 15 % and 40 % increases, respectively, in O3 and OH burden as observed due to the inclusion of LNOx in model, which further impact the atmospheric lifetime of trace gas methane (CH4) by reducing it by 24 %.
Seasonal trends in the wintertime photochemical regime of the Uinta Basin, Utah, USA
Authors: Mansfield Marc L. , Lyman Seth N.
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Several lines of evidence indicate that the photochemical regime, i.e., the degree to which ozone production is either VOC- or NOx-limited, varies with season in the Northern Hemisphere. VOC-sensitivity seems to be more likely in winter and NOx-sensitivity in summer. For most regions, the question is patently academic, since excessive ozone occurs only in summer. However, the Uinta Basin in Utah, USA exhibits ozone in excess of regulatory standards in both winter and summer. We have performed extensive F0AM box modelling to better understand these trends. The models indicate that in late December the Basin’s ozone system is VOC-sensitive, and either NOx-insensitive or NOx-saturated. Sensitivity to NOx grows throughout the winter, and in early March, the system is about equally sensitive to VOC and NOx. The main driver for this trend is the increase in available solar energy as indicated by the noontime solar zenith angle. A secondary driver is a decrease in precursor concentrations throughout the winter, which decrease because of, first, a dilution effect as thermal inversions weaken, and second, an emission effect because certain emission sources are stronger at colder temperatures. On the other hand, temperature and absolute humidity are not important direct drivers of the trend.
Exploring the link between cation exchange capacity and magnetic susceptibility

Published: November 2024

Abstract. This study explores the relationship between soil magnetic susceptibility (𝜅) and cation exchange capacity (𝐶𝐸𝐶) across diverse European soils, aiming to enhance pedotransfer functions (PTFs) for soil 𝐶𝐸𝐶 using near-surface electromagnetic geophysics. We hypothesize that soil 𝜅, can improve the prediction of 𝐶𝐸𝐶 by reflecting the soil’s mineralogical composition, particularly in sandy soils. We collected data from 49 soil samples in vertical profiles across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Serbia, including 𝜅 in field conditions (𝜅∗), low and high frequency 𝜅 in the laboratory, in-site electrical conductivity (𝜎), iron content, soil texture, humus content, bulk density, water content, water pH, and 𝐶𝐸𝐶. We used these properties as features to develop univariable and multivariable (in pairs) polynomial regressions to predict 𝐶𝐸𝐶 for sandy and clayey soils. Results indicate that 𝜅∗ significantly improves 𝐶𝐸𝐶 predictions in sandy soils, independent of clay content, with a combined 𝜅∗ - 𝜎 model achieving the highest predictive performance (R2 = 0.94). In contrast, laboratory-measured 𝜅 was less effective, likely due to sample disturbance. This study presents a novel 𝐶𝐸𝐶 PTF based on 𝜎 and 𝜅∗, offering a rapid, cost-effective method for estimating 𝐶𝐸𝐶 in field conditions. While our findings underscore the value of integrating geophysical measurements into soil characterization, further research is needed to refine the 𝜅- 𝐶𝐸𝐶 relationship and develop a more widely applicable model.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Radiative transfer models of vegetation play a crucial role in the development of remote sensing methods by providing a theoretical framework to explain how electromagnetic radiation interacts with vegetation in different spectral regions. A limiting factor in model development has been the lack of sufficiently detailed ground reference data on both the structural and spectral characteristics of forests needed for testing and validating the models. In this data description paper, we present a dataset on the structural and spectral properties of 58 stands in temperate, hemiboreal, and boreal European forests. It is specifically designed for the development and validation of radiative transfer models for forests but can also be utilized in other remote sensing studies. It comprises detailed data on forest structure based on forest inventory measurements, terrestrial and airborne laser scanning, and digital hemispherical photography. Furthermore, the data include spectral properties of the same forests at multiple scales: reflectance spectra of tree leaves and needles (based on laboratory measurements), the forest floor (based on in situ measurements), and entire stands (based on airborne measurements), as well as transmittance spectra of tree leaves and needles and entire tree canopies (based on laboratory and in situ measurements, respectively). We anticipate that these data will have wide use in testing and validating radiative transfer models for forests and in the development of remote sensing methods for vegetation. The data can be accessed at Hovi et al. (2024a, https://doi.org/10.23729/9a8d90cd-73e2-438d-9230-94e10e61adc9) (for laboratory and field data) and Hovi et al. (2024b, https://doi.org/10.23729/c6da63dd-f527-4ec9-8401-57c14f77d19f) (for airborne data).

Abstract. Total alkalinity (AT) and dissolved inorganic carbon (CT) in the oceans are important properties to understand the ocean carbon cycle and its link with global change (ocean carbon sinks and sources, ocean acidification) and ultimately find carbon based solutions or mitigation procedures (marine carbon removal). We present an extended database (SNAPO-CO2, Metzl et al, 2024d) with 24700 new additional data for the period 2002 to 2023. The full database now includes more than 67000 AT and CT observations along with basic ancillary data (time and space location, depth, temperature and salinity) in various oceanic regions obtained since 1993 mainly in the frame of French research projects. This includes both surface and water columns data acquired in open oceans, coastal zones, rivers and in the Mediterranean Sea and either from time-series or punctual cruises. Most AT and CT data in this synthesis were measured from discrete samples using the same closed-cell potentiometric titration calibrated with Certified Reference Material, with an overall accuracy of ± 4 µmol kg-1 for both AT and CT. The same technique was used onboard for underway measurements during cruises conducted in the Southern Indian and Southern Oceans. The AT and CT data from these cruises are also added in this synthesis. The data are provided in one dataset for the global ocean (https://doi.org/10.17882/102337) that offers a direct use for regional or global purposes, e.g. AT/Salinity relationships, long-term CT estimates, constraint and validation of diagnostics CT and AT reconstructed fields or ocean carbon and coupled climate/carbon models simulations, as well as data derived from Biogeochemical-Argo (BGC-Argo) floats. These data can also be used to calculate pH, fugacity of CO2 (fCO2) and other carbon system properties to derive ocean acidification rates or air-sea CO2 fluxes.
Impact of Multiple Radar Wind Profilers Data Assimilation on Convective Scale Short-Term Rainfall Forecasts: OSSE Studies over the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region
Authors: Zhao Juan , Guo Jianping , Zheng Xiaohui
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The optimal spatial layout for a radar wind profiler (RWP) network in rainfall forecasting, especially over complex terrain, remains uncertain. This study explores the benefits of assimilating vertical wind measurements from various RWP network layouts into convective-scale numerical weather prediction (NWP) through observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs). Synthetic RWP data were assimilated into the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model using the National Severe Storms Laboratory three-dimensional variational data assimilation (DA) system for three southwest (SW)-type heavy rainfall events in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Four types of DA experiments were conducted and compared: a control experiment (CTL) that assimilates data solely from the operational RWP network, and three additional experiments incorporating foothill (FH), ridge (RD), and combined foothill-ridge (FH_RD) RWP network layouts. A detailed examination of the 21 July 2023 case reveals that the FH_RD experiment generally exhibits more skillful storm forecasts in terms of areal coverage, storm mode, and orientation, benifiting from refined mesoscale wind analysis. Particularly, in the RD experiment, RWP data assimilation notably reduces wind errors and enhances mesoscale dynamics near the Taihang Mountains upstream of Beijing, crucial for convective initiation (CI). Aggregated score metrics across all cases also indicate that both FH and RD experiments offer substantial added value over the operational network alone. Further sensitivity experiments on vertical resolution and maximum detection height indicate that the RWP system configuration with the highest detection height achieves the best performance, while lower detection height degrades forecast quality. These findings highlight the importance of strategic RWP network placement along the Taihang Mountains' ridge and foothill for short-term quantitative precipitation forecast in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
Upper-ocean changes with hurricane-strength wind events: a study using Argo profiles and an ocean reanalysis

Published: November 2024

Abstract. As the Earth's climate warms, the intensity and rain rate of tropical cyclones (TCs) is projected to increase. TCs intensify by extracting heat energy from the ocean; hence, a better understanding of upper-ocean changes with the TC passage is helpful to improve our understanding of air–sea interactions during and after the event. This work uses Argo float observations and the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) ocean reanalysis to describe characteristics of upper-ocean changes with hurricane-strength wind events. We study the association of these changes with the vertical structure of the salinity profile before the event, i.e., increasing versus decreasing with depth. We also study the contribution of changes in salinity to upper-ocean density changes in each case. Results show that in regions where pre-event salinity increases with depth there is a corresponding statistically significant increase in upper-ocean salinity; vice versa, we observe a significant decrease in upper-ocean salinity in regions where pre-event salinity decreases with depth. Consistent with previous studies, temperature decreases in both regions. As near-surface temperature decreases, upper-ocean density increases, and the increase is larger where pre-event salinity increases with depth. Changes in upper-ocean properties from Argo and HYCOM are overall consistent with wind-driven vertical mixing of near-surface waters with colder and higher-salinity (or lower-salinity) waters below. Resulting changes in ocean stratification have implications for air–sea interactions during and after the event, with potential impacts on weather events that follow.
A listening experiment exploring the relationship between noise annoyance and sound quality metrics for airborne energy systems

Published: November 2024

Abstract. The present study investigates the relationship between sound quality metrics (SQMs) and noise annoyance for airborne wind energy systems (AWESs) reported in a listening experiment. A convenience sample of 75 participants rated their annoyance on the International Commission on Biological Effects of Noise (ICBEN) scale in response to nine recordings from in-field measurements of two different fixed-wing and one soft-wing ground-generation AWES. All recordings were normalized to have the same A-weighted equivalent sound pressure level. The acoustical analyses showed that the fixed-wing kites presented a more tonal and narrowband sound signature than the soft-wing kite. Linear-mixed effects models indicated that sharpness was the only SQM predicting participants’ annoyance ratings and that the fixed-wing kites were rated as more annoying than the soft-wing kite. In addition, the effect of some SQMs on annoyance depended on participant characteristics, with loudness having a weaker impact on annoyance for participants familiar with AWESs and tonality having a weaker effect on annoyance for older participants. However, these moderation effects could be random due to the non-probability sampling used.

The Vidian Nerve (VN), a branch of the trigeminal nerve, passes by the Vidian Canal (VC), located at the base of the skull. The VC branches into the greater petrosal nerve and the VN in the pterygopalatine fossa, where the greater petrosal nerve carries parasympathetic fibers to the lacrimal glands and nasal mucosa, and the VN carries sensory fibers from the nasopharynx, nasal cavity, and palate. In this study, 60 subjects of both sexes who underwent cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) were selected by a convenient sampling technique. The data were subjected to statistical analysis following the examination of the various parameters in the axial sections. Among the various morphological characteristics appraised in the axial section, there was no significant sexual dimorphism, except for the angle between the VC and the medial wall of the maxillary sinus, which shows statistical significance. The present study aims to investigate morphometric analysis and its associated structures, offering insightful information about the complex structure of the Vidian canal (VC), which provides adequate knowledge for surgeons to plan with more caution complex skull base procedures, and eventually to lower the therapeutical risks associated with it.

Authors: Jakubiak Ewa
Published: November 2024

Termin wojna hybrydowa nie ma spójnej definicji, ale ogólnie odnosi się do dających się zaprzeczyć i tajnych działań, wspieranych przez groźbę lub użycie sił konwencjonalnych lub nuklearnych, w celu wywarcia wpływu na politykę wewnętrzną krajów docelowych.Niektórzy autorzy używają tego terminu, aby odnieść się tylko do nieregularnych taktyk, inni używają hybrydy, aby opisać szereg nieregularnych i konwencjonalnych taktyk stosowanych na tym samym polu bitwy, a inni używają tego terminu do opisania doktryny wojny nowej generacji sformułowanej przez najwyższe kierownictwo rosyjskiego sztabu generalnego. Wielu autorów krytykuje ten termin jako pozbawione znaczenia, modne lub chwytliwe hasło, które w niewielkim stopniu pomaga nam zrozumieć specyfikę zagrożenia ze strony Rosji. Ocena teorii i praktyki działań prowadzonych przez Białoruś wskazuje, że pojawiła się nowa generacja wojny. Niektóre przykłady obejmują: cyberataki, ingerencje w wybory, a także kampanie dezinformacyjne, w tym prowadzone w mediach społecznościowych.Przedstawiono podstawowe cechy wojny hybrydowej, odnosząc się do przypadku Rosji i Białorusi. Dla Rosji i Białorusi wojna hybrydowa to okazja do wywierania politycznego wpływu, a dla grup przestępczych – łatwy zarobek. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie następstw wojny hybrydowej na granicy polsko- białoruskiej.

Chronic mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, have been associated with premature brain aging manifested on neuroimaging as gray matter loss. This has been associated with impaired insight (anosognosia) and suboptimal treatment outcome. Novel strategies for addressing premature brain aging are urgently needed and somatostatin up regulation may avert gray matter loss. Recent studies, involving non-pituitary growth hormone and p53, have offered early glimpses into the molecular underpinnings of cellular senescence in SCZ. Moreover, age-downregulated somatostatin and activation of Human Endogenous Retroviruses likely drive the negative and cognitive symptoms of SCZ. In this perspective article, we discuss the following: 1) neuropsychiatric implications of premature brain aging, 2) potential therapies for restoring the homeostasis of somatostatin and non-pituitary growth hormone.

Breast milk is a kind of food that is good for meeting all the physical needs of babies. Breast milk contains most of the nutritional elements, hormones and immunity of a baby. After that the baby will only get breast milk until the baby is six months old, after the baby is six months old the baby will be given complementary food for breast milk until the baby is even two years old. Purpose: this research is to find out the description of nursing care for normal postpartum mothers who experience ineffective breastfeeding at Koja Jakarta Hospital in 2023 with lactation massage and hypnobreastfeeding relaxation techniques. Methodology: the research used is a descriptive researcher with a case study design that will be carried out in June 2023. Results: a study of  patients who experienced ineffective breastfeeding by means of lactation massage and hypnobreastfeeding relaxation techniques, could increase milk production, reduce breast swelling and reduce pain. This can happen because of the willingness of the client to follow. Conclusion: lactation massage techniques and hypnobreastfeeding relaxation techniques can be done when complaints of a little milk coming out, anxiety, swelling in the breasts of post partum mothers are normal.

O lançamento de efluentes têxteis sem tratamento, ou submetidos a um tratamento ineficaz, ocasiona graves problemas nos ecossistemas aquáticos. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade e o processo de remoção do corante têxtil Drimaren Red CL-7B, empregando o substrato residual da produção do cogumelo Pleurotus ostreatus. Para tanto, primeiramente elaborado um planejamento experimental 3², considerando as variáveis pH e concentração de substrato, buscando-se avaliar a remoção de corante proveniente de efluente têxtil sintético, durante seis horas de tempo de contato. As concentrações do substrato aplicado ao efluente foram 50, 100 e 150 g L-1 e os valores de pH empregados foram 5, 7 e 9. Após a determinação da melhor condição experimental dentre as avaliadas, também foram estudados os possíveis mecanismos de remoção ocorridos e a atividade enzimática do micélio presente no substrato. Verificou-se que a melhor condição operacional foi obtida com pH 5 e concentração de 150 g L-1. Sob essas condições, a eficiência de remoção de corante alcançada foi próxima de 70%. Observou-se que o principal mecanismo de remoção foi a adsorção e um tempo de contato de 30 minutos já permite obter resultados satisfatórios. Além disso, os resultados da atividade da lacase demonstraram que sua eficiência é elevada em condições de pH ácido, e que esta fica inativa em condições de pH alcalino. Concluiu-se que o substrato residual apresenta elevado potencial para o tratamento de efluentes têxteis em decorrência da ação simultânea das enzimas lignolíticas e da adsorção na remoção de corantes, bem como, pela possibilidade de valorização de um resíduo agroindustrial.
