SATELLITE RADAR MONITORING OF OIL POLLUTION IN THE WATER AREAS BETWEEN ANAPA AND GELENDZHIK IN 2018–2020
Authors: Knyazev N. A. , Lavrova O. Yu. , Kostianoy A. G.
Published: August 2021

The paper presents the results of satellite monitoring of oil pollution in the northeastern part of the Black Sea in the area between Anapa and Gelendzhik in 2018–2020. The monitoring was carried out using the archives of radar data obtained by SAR-C radars installed on the Sentinel-1A and -1B satellites. The work with the data archives was carried out using the tools of the “See the Sea” (STS) information system developed at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The conducted satellite monitoring revealed the main sources of sea surface pollution with oil products in the study area. The overwhelming pollution (85%) is associated with discharges of water containing oil products from moving vessels. With the help of STS tools, a map of oil pollution detected on radar images was compiled, on the basis of which the main areas of oil pollution were identified. These include the main shipping routes to the Novorossiysk Sea Port, the anchorage of ships and the water areas of the Tsemes (Novorossiysk) Bay and Gelendzhik Bay. Seasonal and interannual variability of oil pollution was determined on the basis of satellite information for the area between Anapa and Gelendzhik. The results of the 2018–2020 monitoring were compared with those obtained during similar monitoring carried out in 2006–2010. It was concluded that there has been no reduction in the amount of detected pollution, which negatively affects the ecological state of the northeastern part of the Black Sea.

Published: August 2021

El Gaviotín Sudamericano (Sterna hirundinacea) es una especie costero-marina, migratoria y exclusiva de Sudamérica. Si bien se ha registrado en varios cuerpos de agua interiores en territorio argentino, hasta el momento todos los eventos de nidificación se dieron sobre la costa marina, donde la abundancia de alimento (basada en Anchoita Argentina Engraulis anchoita) puede sostener colonias, a excepción de una pequeña colonia en el Río Negro. En febrero de 2020 se registraron adultos de Gaviotín Sudamericano alimentando con langostas a volantones, en el entorno del Lago Epecuén, en la Provincia de Buenos Aires. En octubre de 2020 se encontra ron 126 nidos en una colonia sobre un islote con uno o dos huevos (promedio 1,7), pichones pequeños y huevos depredados. En época de cría, alimenta a sus pichones con una dieta compuesta en más del 90% de peces. Se observaron adultos cazando insectos y alimentando volantones en el aire. El Lago  Epecuén es hipersalino, y no cuenta con peces, por lo que probablemente los insectos sean su reemplazo. ElGaviotín Sudamericano se reproduce siguiendo dos fenologías: el invierno austral (para Brasil y Uruguay) y el verano austral en la Patagonia Argentina. De acuerdo a su ubicación y al periodo de actividad, esta nueva colonia podría corresponderse con la fenología patagónica.
Environmental Problem Analysis and Policy Recommendations on Pacific Northwest Salmon
Authors: Tao Jingjing
Published: August 2021

Environmental issues are becoming hot topics nowadays. As the steps of industrialization and urbanization expand, the conflict between economic development and environmental protection appears to intensify and catch people's eyes more frequently, from the disappearing Amazon rainforest to the pollution of Mississippi River. Over the past few months, the news of one species, salmon, dying out in the northwestern part of the United States drew our team's attention. In this paper, I would like to present my research on Pacific Northwest salmon from the perspectives of problem statement, policy proposal, and political analysis.

Authors: Akinola Oluwatoyin O. , Olorun Olusola A. Ola
Published: August 2021

Akure area in southwestern Nigeria falls within the basement complex underlain by migmatite, quartzite granite and charnockite. Geochemical features of these crystalline rocks and their overlying in-situ weathering profiles are investigated and reported. Analytical result from ICP-MS facility at the University of Malaya reveals average SiO2 content in quartzite (91.1%), granite (73.8%), migmatite (67.4%) and charnockite (58.6%) categorize the rocks as siliceous. SiO2 contents in the weathering profiles above these rocks are 61.9%, 60.2%, 52.2% and 54.6% respectively. Alumina contents in the weathering profiles overlying quartzite (23.8%), granite (19.9%), migmatite (26.3%) and charnockite (24.3%) are substantially higher than the precursor rocks. In the same order, average alkali (Na2O+K2O) contents in the profiles are 3.38%, 3.42%, 3.48% and 2.68%. Chemical features of the profiles reflect that there exists some correlation between the chemistry of crystalline basement and their in-situ weathering profiles. The residual soils contain low plastic clays with kaolinitic characteristics and compare well with other clays reported from other parts of Nigeria basement complex.

Nature-based solutions must be realized - not just proclaimed - in face of climatic extremes
Authors: Beierkuhnlein Carl
Published: August 2021

Natural hazards resulting from climate change are increasing in frequency and intensity. As this is not a linear trend but rather by singularities and anomalies including a broad spectrum of climatic and weather extremes with high temporal and spatial uncertainty, focused avoidance strategies are difficult to prepare. However, the effects of climate change are mostly addressed with outdated ‘business as usual’ approaches by governments and most stakeholders, which are unfit to tackle the complexity of current challenges. Coping action for natural hazards is mostly undertaken during and after such events compensating damage through payments and restoration. In the future, pro-active nature-based solutions are needed for risk mitigation and avoiding severe damage through enhancing all facets of biodiversity from species richness, structural roughness, to spatial heterogeneity of ecosystems. This will not avoid extreme weather events, but it will reduce the damage of increasingly appearing natural hazards. However, this strategy cannot be implemented all of a sudden. Long-term and spatial concepts are needed. For this purpose, currently missing governance structures based on geographical, geoscientific, ecological, meteorological, and societal expertise should be installed. In recent years, a good scientific and knowledge basis for the required solutions has been developed, which now must translate into action. Here, a series of suggestions is compiled for a broad spectrum of extreme events and societal fields, which is far from being complete but should stimulate critically needed creativity and commitment. Nature-based solutions will not deliver a complete protection and cannot be the only kind of action, but we can no longer rely on post-disaster compensation or on the safety illusion of mere engineering and construction works. The efficiency of biodiversity as an insurance for maintaining ecosystem services is well understood. The implementation of nature-based adaptation, coping, and protection measures is less expensive than traditional end-of-the-pipe constructions. It requires an in-depth understanding of interacting processes and trans-disciplinary cooperation based on a broad acceptance in the public. Investments into these solutions would pay off, not tomorrow, but in the future. It is the best sustainable and feasible approach for disaster prevention.

Published: August 2021

Saat ini dunia dilanda pandemik, penyakit covid-19 telah memporak porandakan dunia tak terkecuali Indonesia. Covid-19 masuk ke Indonesia mulai Maret 2020. Hal ini berdampak pada semua aspek kehidupan kita, yaitu aspek ekonomi, sosial bahkan pada aspek pendidikan. Bagaimana sikap pemerintah menghadapi pandemik ini? Pemerintah sudah melakukan berbagai upaya untuk pencegahan penyebaran virus tersebut. Mulai dari penutupan pasar, tempat wisata, sampai melarang anak-anak bersekolah dan diganti dengan belajar dari rumah (BDR). Dalam menyikapi pandemi tersebut menteri pendidikan dan kebudayaan (mendikbud), Nadiem Makarim, mengeluarkan surat edaran Mendikbud RI No. 3 Tahun 2020 Tanggal 09 Maret 2020 Tentang 18 Instruksi Pencegahan Virus Corona di Satuan Pendidikan. Instruksi ini berisi himbauan untuk melakukan tindakan pencegahan perkembangan dan penyebaran virus tersebut di lingkungan pendidikan. Tak lama kemudian mendikbud mengeluarkan surat edaran yang berisi himbauan kepada kepala provinsi untuk memberlakukan pembelajaran secara daring atau belajar dari rumah (BDR). Pembelajaran daring ini ditujukan untuk siswa, guru maupun mahasiswa. Menindak lanjuti himbauan dari Mendikbud tersebut, semua guru memberlakukan sistem Belajar Dari Rumah (BDR) . BDR merupakan sebuah proses pembelajaran yang dilakukan oleh siswa dan guru di rumah masing-masing. Dengan BDR ini, diharapkan akan memutus rantai penyebaran penyakit Covid-19. Selama BDR siswa dihimbau untuk tetap melakukan semua aktivitas di rumah dan menerapkan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat. Dengan tetap beraktivitas dari rumah, siswa otomatis akan menjaga jarak dengan orang lain (physical distancing) dan menghindari kerumunan orang (social distancing). Penerapan pembelajaran online yang mengutamakan pembelajaran secara mandiri di rumah memerlukan sarana dan prasarana komputer dan jaringan internet yang memadai. Selain itu juga harus didukung dengan metode pembelajaran, sumber belajar berupa buku dan sumber belajar lainnya serta peran aktif orang tua di rumah. Dengan keterbatasan sarana dan prasarana, latar belakang kemampuan guru,kondisi keluarga siswa dan kondisi geografis SDN 010 Salutabang, pelaksanaan BDR online ini tetap mengalami hambatan dan tantangan.Sesuai dengan latar belakang di atas, penulis akan membahas pada makalah ini tentang “Dampak Penerapan Belajar Dari Rumah Bagi Siswa, Guru, Dan Orang Tua Siswa ”.

Does UN Peacekeeping Prevent Communal Violence? Evidence from Disputes in Burkina Faso and Mali
Authors: Nomikos Goulielmos
Published: August 2021

Research in political science has shown that UN peacekeeping operations are an important tool for ending civil war violence. However, much less is known about how UN peacekeepers affect communal violence at the level of the individual, family, or community. Given that communal disputes over local issues such as land use, cattle herding, or access to resources are the main source of instability in Africa, understanding how international actors can contribute to their resolution is a pressing concern. How does the presence of UN peacekeepers affect communal violence between civilians in conflict settings? We address this question by offering a straightforward empirical test of how UN peacekeeping patrols affect the likelihood that a communal dispute will become violent in an active conflict setting with a multidimensional peacekeeping operations. We build on the literature on communal conflicts to argue that peacekeepers deter violence against violence. To test our argument, we examine the case of Mail, the site of large-scale communal violence managed by UN peacekeepers since 2013. We employ a Geographic Regression Discontinuity Design (GRDD) around the border of Mali and Burkina Faso to estimate the causal effect of deploying peacekeepers to an area with growing communal tensions. We find that the presence of peacekeepers reduces the probability of the onset of communal violence by 17%. Furthermore, we show that the magnitude of this effect increases as the number of peacekeepers deployed to a given area increase. Ultimately, our research provides robust causal evidence that UN peacekeeping works at the local level.

Evaluating fuel switching options in the Swedish iron and steel industry under increased competition for forest biomass
Authors: Nwachukwu Chinedu Maureen , Olofsson Elias , Lundmark Robert , Wetterlund Elisabeth
Published: August 2021

Significant use of forest biomass in the iron and steel industry (ISI) to mitigate fossil CO2 emissions may impact biomass availability for other users of the same resource. Increased competition for biomass will likely have an effect on both the price of forest biomass assortments and on the economic feasibility of the ISI’s investments in biomass utilisation. This paper explores the market effects of increased biomass competition and the interactions between the ISI and the forest industry sectors. A soft-linking approach is employed that combines a spatially explicit techno-economic energy system model and a partial equilibrium model. This allows for new equilibrium price developments for different feedstock assortments to be endogenously modelled in a dynamic and iterative process. The results show that regional price disruptions caused by the ISI’s new biomass use affect geographical preferences for bio-production plants. Forest industries with competing demand for the same biomass assortments are accordingly affected negatively regarding both feedstock allocation and biomass supply costs. If the ISI substitutes fossil fuels and reductants with biomass-based alternatives, forest sector industries and the district heating sector could thus be at an economic disadvantage.
When fixed and random effects mismatch: Another case of inflation of evidence in non-maximal models
Authors: Veríssimo João
Published: August 2021

Mixed-effects models that include both fixed and random effects are widely used in the cognitive sciences because they are particularly suited to the analysis of clustered data. However, testing hypotheses about fixed effects in the presence of random effects is far from straightforward and a set of best practices is still lacking. In the target article, van Doorn et al. (2021) examined how Bayesian hypothesis testing with mixed-effects models is impacted by particular model specifications. Here, I extend their work to the more complex case of multiple correlated predictors, such as a predictor of interest and a covariate. I show how non-maximal models can display 'mismatches' between fixed and random effects, which occur when a model includes random slopes for the effect of interest, but fails to include them for those predictors that correlate with the effect of interest. Bayesian model comparisons with synthetic data revealed that such mismatches can lead to an underestimation of random variance and to inflated Bayes factors. I provide specific recommendations for resolving mismatches of this type: fitting maximal models, eliminating correlations between predictors, and residualising the random effects.

Personality and ideology: A meta-analysis of the reliable, but non-causal, association between Openness and conservatism
Authors: Osborne Danny , Satherley Nicole , Sibley Chris G
Published: August 2021

Research over the last three decades reveals that Openness to Experience—a personality trait that captures interest in novelty, creativity, unconventionalism, and open-mindedness—correlates negatively with political conservatism. Here, we summarise this vast literature by meta-analysing 232 unique samples (N = 575,691) that examine the relationship between the Big Five and conservatism. Results reveal that the negative relationship between Openness to Experience and conservatism is nearly twice as big as the next strongest correlation between personality and ideology (namely, Conscientiousness and conservatism; rs = −.145 and .076, respectively). The associations between traits and conservatism were, however, substantively smaller in non-WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic) countries. We conclude by reviewing recent longitudinal work demonstrating that Openness to Experience and conservatism are non-causally related. Collectively, our chapter shows that Openness to Experience is by far the strongest (negative) correlate of conservatism, but that there is little evidence to suggest that this association is causal.
Forced Choice Measures with an Answer Key: A Predictive Modelling Approach for Detecting Faking Behavior
Authors: Hughes Angus William , Dunlop Patrick Damien , Holtrop Djurre , Wee Serena
Published: August 2021

Forced choice (FC) personality measures are increasingly popular in research and applied contexts. To date however, no method for detecting faking behavior on this format has been both proposed and empirically tested. We introduce a new methodology for faking detection on FC measures, based on the assumption that individuals engaging in faking try to approximate the ideal response on each block of items. Individuals’ responses are scored relative to the ideal using a model for rank-order data not previously applied to FC measures (Generalized Mallows Model). Scores are then used as predictors of faking in a regularized logistic regression. In Study 1, we test our approach using cross-validation, and contrast generic and job-specific ideal responses. Study 2 replicates our methodology on two measures matched and mismatched on item desirability. We achieved between 80 – 92% balanced accuracy in detecting instructed faking, and predicted probabilities of faking correlated with self-reported faking behavior. We discuss how this approach, driven by trying to capture the faking process, differs methodologically and theoretically to existing faking detection paradigms, and measure and context-specific factors impacting accuracy.
Study of Carotid doppler in Patients with ischemic stroke
Authors: Gyawali Merina , Sharma Prakash , Karki Dipesh
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Stroke is one of the major causes of increased morbidity and death. Large-vessel atherosclerosis of intracranial and extra cranial carotid vessels is an important cause of ischemic stroke. This research was undertaken to study the carotid Doppler findings in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Methods: A hospital-based prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2020 till December 2020 in the department of Radio diagnosis and Imaging at Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara, Nepal. Neuro-imaging and carotid Doppler findings in patients with ischemic stroke were studied. Data analysis was done using SPSS 20.
Results: The mean age of subjects with ischemic stroke was 64 ± 13.4 years with the majority of cases in the age group of 51-70 years of age with male predominance (M: F= 3: 2). Lacunar infarcts (34.2%) were the most common findings followed by MCA infarct (30%) and ACA infarct (10.8%). Carotid plaques were seen in 43.3% patients. Bilateral ICA atheromatous plaque was seen in 48.1% of patients. Carotid bulb was the common site for plaque formation. Type III plaque was the commonest type. Significant ICA stenosis > 50 % was observed in 24.2% patients. Age >50 years, male sex, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia were important risk factors.
Conclusion: Carotid artery Doppler demonstrated atherosclerotic plaques and significant stenosis in patients with ischemic stroke. Increasing age >50 years, male sex, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia were associated with an increased rate of atherosclerosis, carotid stenosis and ischemic stroke.
A Smart Approach for Food Contaminants Risk Management, Complementary to Diet Nutritional Balance
Authors: Renzi Monia , Guerranti Cristiana , Bertacchini Eleonora , Maccanico Stefano , Grazioli Eleonora , Terlizzi Antonio , Renzi Monia
Published: August 2021

Food is usually the major source of human exposure to environmental contaminants like heavy metals and synthetic compounds. This study proposes a quick and simple approach to combine the estimate of the intake of certain pollutants with the diet, in combination with different nutritional plans (Mediterranean diet, weight loss and for athletes). The estimation of the intake of three heavy metals and two perfluoroalkyl substances was carried out by entering the type and quantity of the foods provided by each of the three selected dietary plans in the UltraBio® app. Recurring elements are high levels of Cd and Pb and very low levels of PFASs, for all the plans considered. The Mediterranean diet scheme was the one with the lowest intake of all contaminants, which, in any case, remains within the safety limits by a large margin. The high protein diet leads to exceeding the limits for two metals and critical values for the third. The advantages of this approach are mainly represented by the possibility of having a personalized risk assessment of the intake of important food contaminants for the prevention of exposures that, over time, could put health at risk.

Affirmative Action in the Forensic Arena: Pakistan's Perspective
Authors: Ali Mumtaz , Rehman Aziz-ur
Published: August 2021

Being a weaker stratum of society, special measures should be taken to protect women and children. It is a basic obligation of all and sundry to safeguard and uplift women and children, but in the Courts of Law, they are the least protected. When the stage of realization of the basic rights comes, the Courts treat them like chattels on one pretext or other, especially on the ground of judicial restraint. They are not given equal treatment with men; what to say about special treatment in the Courts in Pakistan. Although on paper, women and children are the most privileged persons at the end of the day, they are victims of the men-made game. Everyone has been watching it since the creation of Pakistan and will continue seeing it forever. This article will explore the fraud being played on women and children from a forensic perspective.
World practices of public control on the electronic declaring process as an effective method of combating corruption
Authors: Аlekseenko Iryna , Kobets Maryna

At the same time, despite the deadly «topicality» of the problem of corruption, there is still no clearly expressed political will of the international community in combating corruption on a global scale, free from double standards and unsystematic and illogical actions. Currently there is no сommonly-accepted and conventionally fixed definition of corruption. The legislation of both developed countries and countries with economies in transition defines the term «corruption» in different ways. It is filled with different meanings and constituent elements, different in nature and structure. This fact is a consequence of the disinclination of many states to burden themselves with interstate corruption combat liabilities. Most of the acts of international organizations, which are aimed at combating corruption crimes, solve only single aspects of the said problem. Public organizations and movements undoubtedly occupy one of the key places in the system of subjects that ensure the implementation of anti-corruption policies in most states. This also applies to Ukraine.
Physiotherapy treatment of lateral epicondylitis: A systematic review
Authors: Landesa-Piñeiro Laura , Leirós-Rodríguez Raquel
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Lateral epicondylitis is a tendinopathy with a prevalence of between 1–3% of the population aged 35–54 years. It is a pathology with a favorable evolution, but with frequent recurrences (which imply an economic extra cost). OBJECTIVE: The objective of this review was to determine the efficacy of physiotherapy treatment for the treatment of epicondylitis and, if any, to identify the most appropriate techniques. METHODS: A systematic search was carried out in October 2020 in the databases of PubMed, Cinahl, Scopus, Medline and Web of Science using the search terms: Physical therapy modalities, Physical and rehabilitation medicine, Rehabilitation, Tennis elbow and Elbow tendinopathy. RESULTS: Nineteen articles were found, of which seven applied shock waves, three applied orthoses, three applied different manual therapy techniques, two applied some kind of bandage, one applied therapeutic exercise, one applied diacutaneous fibrolysis, one applied high intensity laser, and one applied vibration. CONCLUSIONS: Manual therapy and eccentric strength training are the two physiotherapeutic treatment methods that have the greatest beneficial effects, and, furthermore, their cost-benefit ratio is very favorable. Its complementation with other techniques, such as shock waves, bandages or Kinesio® taping, among others, facilitates the achievement of therapeutic objectives, but entails an added cost.

Lung cancer accounts for a large proportion of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Personalized therapeutic medicine based on the genetic characteristics of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a promising field, and discovering clinically applicable biomarkers of NSCLC is required. LINC00472 is a long non-coding RNA and has been recently suggested to be a biomarker of NSCLC, but little is known of its mechanism in NSCLC. Thus, the current study was performed to document changes in gene expression after LINC00472 overexpression in NSCLC cells. As a result of cell viability and migration assay, LINC00472 downregulated cell survival, proliferation, and motility. Transcriptome sequencing analysis showed 3,782 genes expression were changed in LINC00472 overexpressing cells. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed most genes were associated with intracellular metabolism. The PPP1R12B, RGS5, RBM5, RBL2, LDLR and PTPRM genes were upregulated by LINC00472 overexpression and these genes functioned as tumor suppressors in several cancers. In contrast, SPSB1, PCNA, CD24, CDK5, CDC25A, and EIF4EBP1 were downregulated by LINC00472, and they functioned as oncogenes in various cancers. Consequently, the function of LINC00472 in tumorigenesis might be related to changes in the expressions of other oncogenes and tumor suppressors.
