Published: November 2022

O território como ponto de partida da política pública conduz a um processo de ordenamento que procura abarcar de forma cada vez mais ampla as esferas econômicas, sociais e ambientais da população brasileira. Contudo, a noção de ordenamento territorial sozinha não suporta à complexidade da dinâmica social. Sendo assim, o presente artigo tem por objetivo discutir aspectos relacionados ao ordenamento territorial do espaço rural para a efetivação da Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Equilibrado (PNDE). Com base em leis, decretos e outros artigos da área, debateu-se a respeito da necessidade de articulação entre os entes federativos, agentes públicos e privados e a sociedade civil organizada, no âmbito da noção de governança territorial. Ademais, defendeu-se a utilização do Zoneamento Ecológico-Econômico (ZEE) como ferramenta fundamental para a implementação da PNDE. Por fim, reitera-se a imprescindibilidade de se compatibilizar e equilibrar o crescimento econômico com o meio ambiente em prol do desenvolvimento sustentável.
Abstract: The territory as a starting point for public policy leads to a planning process that seeks to encompass the economic, social and environmental spheres. However, only the notion of territorial planning does not support the complexity of social dynamics. This article aims to discuss aspects related to the territorial planning of rural areas for the implementation of the National Policy for Balanced Development (PNDE). The methodological path of this documentary research made use of the legal basis on the subject, scientific articles and the review of plans and instruments already implemented in Brazil. There was a debate about the need for articulation between federative entities, public and private agents and organized civil society, within the scope of the notion of territorial governance. Furthermore, the use of Ecological-Economic Zoning (ZEE) was defended as a fundamental tool for the implementation of the PNDE. Finally, the indispensability of making economic growth compatible with the environment in favor of sustainable development is reiterated.

Published: November 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar como as receitas públicas municipais podem afetar o IDH das regiões metropolitanas das capitais do Sul do Brasil. A principal hipótese é que regiões com maiores receitas alcançam maiores níveis de desenvolvimento. Para tal, realizou-se pesquisa quantitativa, bibliográfica e documental, e empregou-se técnicas estatísticas para análise de regressão linear. Os resultados alcançados não permitiram afirmar que as receitas municipais influenciam diretamente nos índices de desenvolvimento humano. Isto porque a dimensão política do orçamento municipal, a impositividade dos gastos e a superestimação de indicadores podem ocultar resultados e intenções de governantes na alocação de recursos públicos em áreas carentes.
Abstract: The objective of this article is to analyze how municipal public revenues can affect the HDI of the metropolitan regions of the capitals of southern Brazil. The main hypothesis is that regions with higher income reach higher levels of development. To this end, quantitative, bibliographic and documental research was carried out, and statistical techniques were used for linear regression analysis. The results achieved did not allow us to say that municipal revenues directly influence human development indices. This is because the political dimension of the municipal budget, the imposition of spending and the overestimation of indicators can hide the results and intentions of government officials in allocating public resources to underserved areas.

Cardiac symptoms may or may not be present in the early clinical stages. We are presenting a case of sporadic BL in a 13-year-old child with cardiac and systemic involvement.
Effect of 4-day Online Breath Meditation Workshop on Ballistocardiography-based Sleep and Cardiac Health Assessments among Medical Professionals of a Tertiary Care Hospital in North India during COVID-19
Authors: Pathania Monika , Pathania Monika , Bahurupi Yogesh Arvind , Bahurupi Yogesh Arvind
Published: November 2022

background: Medical professionals (MPs) are facing stress, sleep deprivation, and burnout due to pandemic-related high patient inflow and consistent work shifts. Yoga and meditation are feasible, cost-effective, evidence-based, and well-accepted tools having multifold mental and physical health benefits. Design: In this ongoing open-label single-arm trial, we assessed changes in sleep, heart rate variability (HRV), and vitals before and after a 4-day online breath meditation workshop (OBMW) among 41 MPs at a tertiary care hospital in northern India during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Outcomes were assessed at baseline and after the 4-day workshop using a ballistocardiography-based contactless health monitoring device. The workshop was conducted online. Two participants were excluded due to a lack of adherence. Results: A highly significant increase was seen in total sleep duration (p = 0.000) and duration of deep sleep (p = 0.001), rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (p = 0.000), and light sleep (p = 0.032). HRV outcomes of the standard deviation of normal-to-normal R-R intervals (SDNN) and root mean square of successive differences between adjacent normal heartbeat (RMSSD) also improved significantly (p = 0.000) while heart rate reduced significantly (p = 0.001). No significant change was observed in breath rate, total time awake, or in the low-frequency by high-frequency (LF/HF) spectrum of HRV. Conclusion: Four days of OBMW improved sleep and HRV among MPs, strengthening the fact that yoga and meditation can help induce psychophysical relaxation and prove to be an effective tool to combat stress and sleep deprivation. As the stakeholders in patient care, that is, MPs are healthy, it will further improve patient care and reduce the chance of medical errors.

Authors: Kivlen Christine , Winston Kristin , Mills Dana , DiZazzo-Miller Rosanne , Davenport Rick , Binfet John-Tyler
Published: November 2022

Importance: The mental health crisis among college graduate students requires cost-effective interventions to support the increasing number of students experiencing negative mental health symptoms.

Objective: To assess the effects of a canine-assisted intervention (CAI) on student well-being, including quality of life (QOL), stress, anxiety, occupational performance, and adjustment to the graduate college student role.

Design: Random assignment to a treatment or control group.

Setting: College campus.

Participants: A total of 104 college student participants were randomly assigned to either the treatment (n = 53) or control (n = 51) condition.

Intervention: Treatment consisted of 35-min weekly sessions over 6 wk.

Outcomes and Measures: QOL, stress, anxiety, and occupational role.

Results: An analysis of covariance revealed that, compared with participants in the control condition, participants who interacted with therapy dogs had significantly higher self-reports of QOL (p < .001) and decreased anxiety scores (p < .045). Within-subject paired t tests confirmed significant stress reductions for participants in the treatment condition (p < .000). No significant differences in self-reports of occupational performance or in adjustment to the graduate college student role were found.

Conclusions and Relevance: These findings add to the body of literature attesting to the efficacy of CAIs in supporting student well-being and optimizing learning conditions. Moreover, this study demonstrated that graduate students in a professional program responded favorably to spending time with therapy dogs. Implications for CAIs and university mental health programming are discussed.

What This Article Adds: A CAI may be a valuable tool for students and young adults experiencing mental health challenges, such as stress, anxiety, and decreased QOL.
Understanding and Enhancing Occupational Therapists’ Use of Standard Family-Centered Measures
Authors: Gafni-Lachter Liat , Ben-Sasson Ayelet
Published: November 2022

Importance: The use of standard family-centered measures (FCMs) is imperative to guide family-centered care (FCC) interventions and monitor their outcomes.

Objective: To measure the frequency of FCM use and evaluate the effectiveness of experiential learning and reflection to increase their use.

Design: Descriptive and two-group pre–post comparative training study.

Setting: Continuing education center.

Participants: Phase 1 included 145 health care providers. Phase 2 included 44 school-based occupational therapists who participated in Phase 1.

Intervention: Phase 2 participants enrolled in 30-hr FCC training that included a 2-hr workshop on FCM. One group (n = 22) conducted an FCM with a family and wrote a reflective report.

Outcomes and Measures: All participants completed the Measure of Processes of Care–Service Provider (MPOC–SP) questionnaire and reported how frequently they used FCMs.

Results: FCM use rates were low (50%, not at all; 26%, to a very small extent). The extent of FCC was correlated with FCM use (r = .24–.30, p < .01). A Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated that participants who administered an FCM with a family and reflected on this experience showed significant increases (Z = 176.0, p = .001) in FCM use compared with participants who were only instructed about available FCM. A Mann–Whitney U test confirmed the difference (U = 3.54, p = .012).

Conclusions and Relevance: FCM use is sparse, but experiential and reflective activities are simple keys to promoting FCC and integrating FCM into practice.

What This Article Adds: Training designers, educators, and managers should consider integrating experiential learning to enhance providers’ expertise and quality of care.
Sub-recent microfauna within allogenic sediments at the bottom of a deep cave, Njemica (Biokovo Mt., Croatia)

Published: November 2022

Clastic sediments deposited at the bottom of the vertical, nearly 1000 m deep Njemica Cave (Biokovo Mountain, Croatia) were analysed. Owing to the vertical morphology of the cave, the occurrences of clastic sediments are sparse. Small, up to decimetre-thick, undisturbed sediment accumulations situated near the siphon lake revealed interesting palaeontological and mineralogical data. These data are used as a useful proxy for discussing depositional processes, the provenance of the sediments and paleo-habitats of the subterranean fauna.

The sub-recent assemblages of ostracods were discovered within the sediment, and they were shown to be correlative to the known endemic species in the wider Dinaric Karst area (Pseudocypridopsis sywulai and Phreatocandona cf. motasi). The well-preserved sediment archive indicates the allogenic origin of the sediment and defines it as an allochthonous infiltrate of the Quaternary. The detritus originates from Pleistocene–Holocene deposits in the surrounding area, whose composition was influenced by volcanic activity in the wide Adriatic region. Sedimentation occurred in a calm aquatic environment by settling from suspension. Therefore the sediments are defined as slackwater deposits.
Research on wireless Powered Communication Networks Sum Rate Maximization based on time Reversal OFDM
Authors: Liu Wei , Wei Li Fang , Zhang Hai Bo , Li Bo
Published: November 2022

This paper studies a wireless power communication network(WPCN) based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with time reversal(TR). In this paper, the " Harvest Then Transmit " protocol is adopted, and the transmission time block is divided into three stages, the first stage is for power transmission, the second stage is for TR detection, and the third stage is for information transmission. The energy limited access point (AP) and the terminal node obtain energy from the radiofrequency signal sent by the power beacon (PB) to assist the terminal data transmission. The energy limited AP and the terminal node obtain energy from the radio frequency signal sent by the PB to assist the terminal data transmission. In the TR phase and the wireless information transmission (WIT) phase, the terminal transmits the TR detection signal to the AP using the collected energy, and the AP uses the collected energy to transmit independent signals to a plurality of terminals through OFDM. In order to maximize the sum rate of WPCN, the energy collection time and AP power allocation are jointly optimized. Under the energy causal constraint, the subcarrier allocation, power allocation and time allocation of the whole process are studied, and because of the binary variables involved in the subcarrier allocation, the problem belongs to the mixed integer non-convex programming problem. the problem is transformed into a quasiconvex problem, and then binary search is used to obtain the optimal solution. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of this scheme. The results show that the proposed scheme significantly improves the sum rate of the terminal compared to the reference scheme.

Published: November 2022

The adoption of dependable and robust techniques to remove electromyogram (EMG) artifacts from electroencephalogram (EEG) is essential to enable the exact identification of several neurological diseases. Even though many classical signal processing-based techniques have been used in the past and only a few deep-learning-based models have been proposed very recently, it is still a challenge to design an effective technique to eliminate EMG artifacts from EEG. In this work, deep learning (DL) techniques have been used to remove EMG artifacts from single-channel EEG data by employing four popular 1D convolutional neural network (CNN) models for signal synthesis. To train, validate, and test four CNN models, a semi-synthetic publicly accessible EEG dataset known as EEGdenoiseNet has been used the performance of 1D CNN models has been assessed by calculating the relative root mean squared error (RRMSE) in both the time and frequency domain, the temporal and spectral percentage reduction in EMG artifacts and the average power ratios between five EEG bands to whole spectra. The U-Net model outperformed the other three 1D CNN models in most cases in removing EMG artifacts from EEG achieving the highest temporal and spectral percentage reduction in EMG artifacts (90.01% and 95.49%); the closest average power ratio for theta, alpha, beta, and gamma band (0.55701, 0.12904, 0.07516, and 0.01822, respectively) compared to ground truth EEG (0.5429; 0.13225; 0.08214; 0.002146; and 0.02146, respectively). It is expected from the reported results that the proposed framework can be used for real-time EMG artifact reduction from multi-channel EEG data as well.
Stock Price Prediction Model based on Dual Attention and TCN
Authors: Fu Yifeng , Xiao He
Published: November 2022

The stock market is affected by many variables and factors, and the current forecasting models for time series are often difficult to capture the complex laws among multiple factors. Aiming at this problem, a stock price prediction model based on dual attention mechanism and temporal convolutional network is proposed. First, a convolution network more suitable for time series is used as the feature extraction layer. Feature attention is introduced to dynamically mine the potential correlation between the input factor features and closing prices. Second, based on Gated Recurrent Unit, on the other hand, a temporal attention mechanism is introduced to improve the model's ability to learn important time points and obtain importance measures from a temporal perspective. The experimental results show that the proposed model performs better than the traditional prediction model in the error index of stock price prediction and realizes the interpretability of the model in terms of index characteristics and time.
Utilizing Deep Machine Learning to Create a Contextally and Environmentally Aware Application to Prevent Spinal Tendonitis
Authors: Li Barry , Sun Yu
Published: November 2022

Recently, we have discovered when a person is using their computer, they often begin to lean forward toward the screen without noticing. Leaning forward can cause many problems in their body, especially to the back bone known as spinal tendonitis, and the problem can spread throughout the entire body [1][2]. I created an app to warn usersto sit up straight when they lean toward the screen too much, effectively protecting them from damaging their back bone. This app uses deep learning to calculate the body posture, and draw an imaginary triangle between the shoulders, hips, and knees [3]. The point at the hips is most vital in calculating the angle of the body. This app takes pictures in a given interval of time (by default 30 second), when the body leans forward, this angle decreases, and when the angle becomes lower than a given amount (by default 30 degrees), it will send a warning message to ask the user to fix their sitting posture [4].

Published: November 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) mainly consists of devices with limited processing capabilities and memory. Therefore, these devices could be easily infected with malicious code and can be used as botnets. In this regard, we propose a framework to detect and prevent botnet activities in an IoT network. We first describe the working mechanism of how an attacker infects an IoT device and then spreads the infection to the entire network. Secondly, we propose a set of mechanisms consisting of detection, identifying the abnormal traffic generated from IoT devices using filtering and screening mechanisms, and publishing the abnormal traffic patterns to the rest of the home routers on the network. Further, the proposed approach is lightweight and requires fewer computing capabilities for installation on home routers. In the future, we will test the proposed system on real hardware, and the results will be presented to identify the abnormal traffic generated by malicious IoT devices.
The Economic Productivity of Water in Agriculture based on Ordered Weighted Average Operators
Authors: Martínez José Manuel Brotons
Published: November 2022

Water productivity is one of the main indicators used in agriculture. Price of water change from some regions where the price is free to other with a very high price. When water productivity is measured in Euros, to make comparable the results of the regions where the price is free, we need to obtain a correct measurement, which will require setting a market price for water in areas where no price has yet been set. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to propose new productivity indicators based on fuzzy logic, whereby experts’ opinions about the possible price of the use of water as well as the annual variability of agricultural prices can be added. Therefore, the fuzzy willingness to pay (FWTP) and fuzzy willingness to accept (FWTA) methodology will be applied to create an artificial water market. The use of fuzzy logic will allow the uncertainty inherent in the experts’ answers to be collected. Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operators and their different extensions will allow different aggregations based on the sentiment or interests reflected by the experts. These same aggregators, applied to the prices of the products at origin, will make it possible to create new indicators of the economic productivity of water. Finally, through an empirical application for a pepper crop in south-eastern Spain we can visualize the importance of the different indicators and their influence on the final results.

The publication is devoted to the study of markers of endothelial function, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease depending on the severity of chronic respiratory failure and disorders of arterial blood hemoglobin oxygen saturation. The authors established a decrease in the activity of cellular immunity, insufficient activation of humoral immunity, decrease in antioxidant protection and anti-inflammatory activity of the immune system. Signs of the key link in the development of atherosclerosis – endothelial dysfunction – were revealed in patients with COPD. The results of the study suggest that the degrees of chronic respiratory failure are interrelated with the stages of atherosclerotic process development. Disturbances of hemoglobin saturation of arterial blood with oxygen and pronounced degrees of chronic respiratory failure are considered as factors contributing to the stage of atheromatosis, which underlies the formation of unstable atherosclerotic plaque.

Abstract. Despite the consensus on the overall downward trend in Amazon forest loss in the previous decade, estimates of yearly carbon emissions from deforestation still vary widely. Estimated carbon emissions are currently often based on data from local logging activity reports, changes in remotely sensed biomass, and remote detection of fire hotspots and burned area. Here, we use 16 years of satellite-derived carbon monoxide (CO) columns to constrain fire CO emissions from the Amazon Basin between 2003 and 2018. Through data assimilation, we produce 3 d average maps of fire CO emissions over the Amazon, which we verified to be consistent with a long-term monitoring programme of aircraft CO profiles over five sites in the Amazon. Our new product independently confirms a long-term decrease of 54 % in deforestation-related CO emissions over the study period. Interannual variability is large, with known anomalously dry years showing a more than 4-fold increase in basin-wide fire emissions relative to wet years. At the level of individual Brazilian states, we find that both soil moisture anomalies and human ignitions determine fire activity, suggesting that future carbon release from fires depends on drought intensity as much as on continued forest protection. Our study shows that the atmospheric composition perspective on deforestation is a valuable additional monitoring instrument that complements existing bottom-up and remote sensing methods for land-use change. Extension of such a perspective to an operational framework is timely considering the observed increased fire intensity in the Amazon Basin between 2019 and 2021.

Published: November 2022

Abstract. The aim of this study was to review the available literature
concerning Madura foot (“mycetoma”) caused by Madurella mycetomatis in immunocompromised
patients. With a systematic literature search, we identified only three
papers, describing a total of three immunocompromised patients. Hence, the clinical presentation and prognosis of the disease in this patient
population have not yet been well described. In addition, we present a case from our institution, illustrating the complexity of the treatment of this
rare disease. Although very rare in non-endemic countries, we emphasize that
mycetoma should be included in the differential diagnoses of (immunocompromised) patients who have been residing in a geographical area
where the disease is endemic and presenting with soft tissue inflammation of
one of the extremities.
Analysis of the relationship between yield in cereals and remotely sensed fAPAR in the framework of monitoring drought impacts in Europe
Authors: Cammalleri Carmelo , McCormick Niall , Toreti Andrea
Published: November 2022

Abstract. This study focuses on the relationship between satellite-measured fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR) and crop yield cereals in Europe. Different features of the relationship between annual yield and multiple time series of fAPAR, collected during different periods of the year, were investigated. The two key outcomes of the analysis are the identification of the period: (i) from March to October as the one having the highest positive correlation between fAPAR and yield and (ii) from February to May as the period characterised by most of the estimated negative correlation. While both periods align well with the commonly assumed dynamic of the growing season, spatial differences are also observed across Europe. On the one hand, the Mediterranean regions report the highest correlation values (r>0.8) and the longest continuous periods with positive statistically significant results (up to 7 months), covering most of the growing season. On the other hand, the central
European region is characterised by the most limited positive correlation
values, with only 2 months or less showing statistically significant
results. While marked differences in the overall capability to capture the
full dynamic of yield are observed across Europe, fAPAR anomalies seem
capable of discriminating low-yield years from the rest in most of the cases.

Published: November 2022

Abstract. We investigate the predictability properties of the ocean dynamics using an ensemble of short-term numerical regional ocean simulations forced by prescribed atmospheric conditions. In that purpose, we developed a kilometric-scale, regional model for the Western Mediterranean sea (MEDWEST60, at 1/60∘ horizontal resolution). A probabilistic approach is then followed, where a stochastic parameterization of model uncertainties is introduced in this setup to initialize ensemble predictability experiments. A set of three ensemble experiments (20 members and 2 months) are performed, one with the deterministic model initiated with perturbed initial conditions and two with the stochastic model, for two different amplitudes of stochastic model perturbations. In all three experiments, the spread of the ensemble is shown to emerge from the smallest scales (kilometric scale) and progressively upscales to the largest structures. After 2 months, the ensemble variance saturates over most of the spectrum, and the small scales (<100 km) have become fully decorrelated across the ensemble members. These ensemble simulations can provide a statistical description of the dependence between initial accuracy and forecast accuracy for time lags between 1 and 20 d. The predictability properties are assessed using a cross-validation algorithm (i.e., using alternatively each ensemble member as the reference truth and the remaining 19 members as the ensemble forecast) together with a given statistical score to characterize the initial and forecast accuracy. From the joint distribution of initial and final scores, it is then possible to quantify the probability distribution of the forecast score given the initial score or reciprocally to derive conditions on the initial accuracy to obtain a target forecast accuracy. The misfit between ensemble members is quantified in terms of overall accuracy (CRPS score), geographical position of the ocean structures (location score) and spatial spectral decorrelation of the sea surface height 2-D fields (decorrelation score). With this approach, we estimate for example that, in the region and period of interest, the initial location accuracy required (necessary condition) with a perfect model (no model uncertainty) to obtain a location accuracy of the forecast of 10 km with a 95 % confidence is about 8 km for a 1 d forecast, 4 km for a 5 d forecast and 1.5 km for a 10 d forecast, and this requirement cannot be met with a 15 d or longer forecast.

This article deals with issues related to the famine of the early 1930s in Kazakhstan, an issue that is still not sufficiently studied, requiring close attention of the expert community, a comprehensive consideration of all its aspects without exception. One of these aspects, of course, is the issue of famine refugees from Kazakhstan, their stay and adaptation in new places. The paper presents the opinions of leading foreign scholars regarding the scale of the famine, its consequences, as well as the policy of the authorities, their perception of the tragedy. In addition, the article widely presents archival materials containing data both on the scale of the tragedy and the opinions of its witnesses themselves. The above documents provide information about the fate of the “nomadic migrants” (“откочевники”), the policy of the local authorities towards them, and also generally allow us to see the tragedy of the mass famine of the early 1930s through the eyes of responsible party workers.

The possibility of determining the zones of the reverse electrode effect in hard-to-reach places using an L-shaped frame is considered. It is shown that joint measurements using instruments and an L-shaped frame with adjustable sensitivity will make it possible to convert the recorded angles of frame movement into physically understandable values of the atmospheric electric field strength.

Published: November 2022

Using the methods of mathematical modeling, changes in runoff and a related removal of nutrients from three small tributaries of the Gulf of Finland as a result of possible regional climate change in the 21st century are projected. The RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5 are considered as climatic scenarios: these are the best and the worst scenarios in terms of environmental forcing, respectively. It is shown that the RCP 8.5 will lead to an increase in river runoff by not more than 25% relative to 2006-2015. The RCP 2.6 will result in a 6% reduction in runoff. Real climate changes are likely to follow an intermediate scenario. Consequently, the projection of the climate change consequences will be in the interval between the resulting extreme estimates, and extreme changes in the hydrological regime of the catchments of small rivers and corresponding changes in the nutrient removal should not be expected in the region under consideration.

The possibility is considered of using data of the Sentinel-1B radar satellite in agriculture, in particular, for the crop monitoring and grain crop yield forecasting. For this purpose, based on satellite data, the Radar Vegetation Index RVI was calculated. The values of RVI obviously indicate the dynamics of the development of such crops as spring wheat, oat, and barley. The correlation and regression analysis of the relationship between the normalized difference vegetation index NDVI and RVI revealed the presence of a significant dependence between the indices. The normalized radar vegetation index NRVI was calculated to use radar data in predicting the expected yield. As a part of the experiment, yield forecasts at the farm in the Kochenevo district (the Novosibirsk region) for the 2018 and 2019 growing seasons were calculated. The calculation results showed the yield forecast accuracy above 90%, which allowed the use of NRVI in the 2020 operational activities.

The two-dimensional nonstationary model of convective clouds is developed. Based on numerical experiments with the developed model, the structure of a cloud at different time moments is investigated. The cloud evolution in natural conditions is computed. The cloud seeding using the functions of artificial crystal sources that imitate the seeding is simulated. An effective seeding mechanism is considered using the model.

Since 1968, the Aerial Forest Protection Service (Avialesookhrana) has taken measures to extinguish wildfires and reduce fire danger in adjacent areas by rainmaking with methods and technologies of precipitation enhancement developed at Roshydromet research institutions. The efficiency of the performed modification is analyzed in the absence of a network of Doppler weather radars, as well as in conditions of a sparse ground-based weather station network in most of Siberia and the Far East. Due to the significant spatial variability of precipitation, the floating control method was applied using data of numerical weather prediction models. The analysis of precipitation enhancement activities demonstrated a rather high efficiency of applying this method: the actual amount of precipitation was 1.4-1.5 times higher than the expected amount averaged according to the forecast models.
Гевонд Алишан в оценке Акопа Ошакана / Ghevond Alishan appraised by Hakob Oshakan
Authors: Marutyan Tehmina
Published: November 2022

The phenomenon of the life and work of the great Armenologist, writer Ghevond
Alishan has always been in the center of attention of Armenian public thought. A
considerable amount of work has been done by researchers over time, much has been
revised, evaluated, re-evaluated, and it is a fact that the work done generally provides
comprehensive coverage of Alishan's encyclopedic merits.
Among those references, Hakob Oshakan's "comparative" study is of particular
interest, taking into account comprehensive and deep analytical horizons, specific
methods and criteria for a comprehensive analysis of the material.
The purpose of the study is to present Ghevond Alishan in the assessment of the
great Western Armenian critic Hakob Oshakan. Our task is to showcase and appreciate
the unique and valuable examples of Oshakan's critical thought that complement the
literary significance of Alishan's work.
The “Oshakan” study of Alishan's heritage, with its typological, structural new
interpretation and the highlighting of hitherto unobserved features, has not yet become
the subject of a separate study, which determines the scientific novelty and relevance of the article.
The article uses both special literary (hermeneutical, axiological) and general
scientific (analytical) research methods. As a result of the study, we came to the
conclusion that, although Oshakan's critical views are distinguished by a sharp
ideological orientation and some uncompromisingness, they masterfully reveal the key
elements that characterize the creative world and the principles of Ghevond Alishan,
which can become the material of a separate study.
¿Dónde ha ido la belleza? Sacrificio, de A. Tarkovski, en clave alquímica
Authors: Ferrer Ventosa Roger
Published: November 2022

En la película de Andrei Tarkovski Sacrificio el mundo vive una amenaza de III Guerra Mundial apocalíptica, a la vez que las relaciones familiares del protagonista se hallan en una crisis que parece definitiva. Pero un último ritual tal vez invierta la situación. El artículo argumenta que el planteamiento y la cosmovisión de este gran clásico del cine pueden interpretarse según los códigos simbólicos de la alquimia, empapados de teología cristiana y de la mitología y la cosmología de la Antigüedad, con Hermes como patrón, aunque el director lo lograra de una manera probablemente involuntaria, debido a sus intereses poéticos y espirituales.
