Inactive Women as a Result of The Gender-Based Division of Labor and a Solution Proposal: “VirtualCall Project”
Authors: IŞIK Ebru
Published: July 2022

Today, many women are excluded from the labor market despite having a good education. Perhaps the most obvious reason for this situation is the gender-based division of labor. Because of this division of labor, women are mostly considered to be responsible for domestic work and care work and it becomes difficult for them to go out of the house.

Women who are not able to participate in the work life due to their domestic responsibilities and are not considered unemployed, currently considered as inactive. Economic inactivity, which is a huge problem for many European countries including Turkey, excludes a great potential human resource that will be productive for the economy if they work.

Many countries offer different solutions to solve the inactivity problem. The health crisis caused by the Covid 19 epidemic has also led people to work more flexibly and at home. “The VirtualCall Project”, which received grant support from the European Union, is one of these solution proposals.

The aims of this study are to draw attention to the economic inactivity problem of women, which is the result of the gender-based division of labor, and to introduce the VirtualCall Project, which is realized as a solution proposal. In line with this purpose, firstly economic inactivity will be defined then the division of labor based on gender will be mentioned, and solution suggestions will be put forward.
Search for new dimensions of the educational space: digital and non-digital vectors of development
Authors: Krotenko T. Yu.
Published: July 2022

Sociocultural, ecological, economic circumstances in which the constantly changing world finds itself persistently demand the emergence of new directions and subjects of research in the educational sphere.

   The purpose of the article is to identify promising vectors for studying the space of lifelong education.

   The following research methods were used: a) analysis of a combination of terms that combine philosophical, socio-cultural, economic and educational meanings; b) analysis of the author’s pedagogical experience in the formats of formal, non-formal and spontaneous education; c) an expert survey conducted online in October 2021; d) content analysis of detailed answers to the questions offered to respondents. As a result, the article outlines previously not obvious sources for creating an interdisciplinary methodological basis, the appearance of which can be predicted at the junctions of various fields of knowledge, in practice-oriented research attempts to implement the ideas of transdisciplinarity. The author’s research diagnoses fundamentally new methodological impulses that exist in science and modern philosophy when considering continuous knowledge as a vital attribute of a modern person. The possibilities that are hidden in paradoxical, at first glance, combinations and at the intersections of previously completely independent knowledge spheres are discussed. This is important for solving the problem of preserving anthropic qualities, which is especially prominent in the course of the chaotic development of learning systems that integrate human nature and artificial intelligence.   The scientific novelty of the work is made up of conclusions about research methods that are most suitable for the formation of new psychological and pedagogical knowledge about permanent education.

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) possess a conserved mobile catalytic loop, the WPD-loop, which brings an aspartic acid into the active site where it acts as an acid/base catalyst. Prior experimental and computational studies, focused on the human enzyme PTP1B and the PTP from Yersinia pestis, YopH, suggested that loop conformational dynamics are important in regulating both catalysis and evolvability. We have generated a chimeric protein in which the WPD-loop of YopH is transposed into PTP1B, and eight chimeras that systematically restored the loop sequence back to native PTP1B. Of these, four chimeras were soluble and were subjected to detailed biochemical and structural characterization, and a computational analysis of their WPD-loop dynamics. The chimeras maintain backbone structural integrity, with somewhat slower rates than either wild-type parent, and show differences in the pH dependency of catalysis, and changes in the effect of Mg2+. The chimeric proteins’ WPD-loops differ significantly in their relative stability and rigidity. The time required for interconversion, coupled with electrostatic effects revealed by simulations, likely accounts for the activity differences between chimeras, and relative to the native enzymes. Our results further the understanding of connections between enzyme activity and the dynamics of catalytically important groups, particularly the effects of non-catalytic residues on key conformational equilibria.
Dipole Effects in the Photoelectron Angular Distributions of the Sulfur Monoxide Anion

Published: July 2022

Photoelectron angular distributions (PADs) in SO- photodetachment using linearly polarized 355 nm (3.49 eV), 532 nm (2.33 eV), and 611 nm (2.03 eV) light were investigated via photoelectron imaging spectroscopy. The measurements at 532 and 611 nm access the X-^3-Σ^- and a-^1-Delta electronic states of SO, whereas the measurements at 355 nm also access the b-^1Σ^+ state. In aggregate, the photoelectron anisotropy parameter values follow the general trend with respect to electron kinetic energy (eKE) expected for π* orbital photodetachment. The trend is similar to O2-, but the minimum of the SO- curve is shifted to smaller eKE. This shift is attributed mainly to the exit-channel interactions of the departing electron with the dipole moment of the neutral SO core, rather than the differing shapes of the SO- and O2- molecular orbitals. Of the several ab initio models considered, two approaches yield good agreement with the experiment: one representing the departing electron as a superposition of eigenfunctions of a point dipole-field Hamiltonian, and another describing the outgoing electron in terms of Coulomb waves originating from two separated charge centers, with a partial positive charge on the sulfur and an equal negative charge on the oxygen. These fundamentally related approaches support the conclusion that electron-dipole interactions in the exit channel of SO- photodetachment play an important role in shaping the PADs. While a similar conclusion was previously reached for photodetachment from sigma orbitals of CN- (Hart, Lyle, Spellberg, Krylov, Mabbs, J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 2021, 12, 10086-10092), the present work includes the first extension of the dipole-field model to detachment from π* orbitals.

Published: July 2022

A library of more than 2’500 plant extracts were screened for their activity on oncogenic signaling in melanoma cells. The ethyl acetate extract from aerial parts of Artemisia argyi displayed pronounced inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway. Active compounds were tracked with the aid of HPLC-based activity profiling, and a total of 21 active compounds were isolated, including one novel dimerosequiterpenoid (1), one new disesquiterpenoid (2), three new guaianolides (3-5), 12 known sesquiterpenoids (6-17), as well as four known flavonoids (19-22). A new eudesmanolide derivative (13b) was isolated as an artifact formed by methanolysis. Compound 1 is the first adduct comprising a sesquiterpene lactone and a methyl jasmonate moiety. The absolute configurations of compounds 1 and 3-18 were established by comparison of experimental and calculated ECD spectra. The absolute configuration for 2 was determined by X-ray diffraction. Guaianolide 8 was the most potent sesquiterpene lactone, inhibiting the PI3K/AKT pathway with an IC50 of 8.9 ± 0.9 μM
A headspace collection chamber for whole body volatilomics
Authors: Rankin-Turner Stephanie , McMeniman Conor
Published: July 2022

The human body secretes a complex blend of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) via the skin, breath and bodily fluids, the study of which can provide valuable insight into the physiological and metabolic state of an individual. Methods to profile human-derived volatiles typically source VOCs from bodily fluids, exhaled breath or skin of isolated body parts. To facilitate profiling the whole body volatilome, we have engineered a sampling chamber that enables the collection and analysis of headspace from the entire human body. Whole body VOCs were collected from a cohort of 20 humans and analyzed by thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TD-GC/MS) to characterize the compounds present in whole body headspace and evaluate chemical differences between individuals. A range of compounds were detected and identified in whole body headspace including ketones, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, alcohols, and aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Considerable heterogeneity in the chemical composition of whole body odor and the concentration of its constituent compounds was observed across individuals. Amongst the most common and abundant compounds detected in human whole body odor were sulcatone, acetoin, acetic acid and C6-C10 aldehydes. This method facilitates standardized and quantitative analytical profiling of the human whole body volatilome.
A “short blanket” dilemma for a state-of-the-art neural network potential for water: Reproducing properties or learning the underlying physics?
Authors: Zhai Yaoguang , Caruso Alessandro , Bore Sigbjörn L. , Paesani Francesco
Published: July 2022

Deep neural network (DNN) potentials have recently gained popularity in computer simulations of a wide range of molecular systems, from liquids to materials. In this study, we explore the possibility of combining the computational efficiency of the DeePMD framework and the demonstrated accuracy of the MB-pol data-driven many-body potential to train a DNN potential for large-scale simulations of water across its phase diagram. We find that the DNN potential is able to reliably reproduce the MB-pol results for liquid water but provides a less accurate description of the vapor-liquid equilibrium properties. This shortcoming is traced back to the inability of the DNN potential to correctly represent many-body interactions. An attempt to explicitly include information about many-body effects results in a new DNN potential that exhibits opposite performance, being able to correctly reproduce the MB-pol vapor-liquid equilibrium properties but losing accuracy in the description of the liquid properties. These results suggest that DeePMD-based DNN potentials are not able to correctly "learn" and, consequently, represent many-body interactions, which implies that DNN potentials may have limited ability to predict properties for state points that are not explicitly included in the training process. The computational efficiency of the DeePMD framework can still be exploited to train DNN potentials on data-driven many-body potentials, which can thus enable large-scale, "chemically accurate" simulations of various molecular systems, with the caveat that the target state points must have been adequately sampled by the reference data-driven many-body potential in order to guarantee a faithful representation of the associated properties.

Forming auditory skills through the audio theatre method in the course of project work
Authors: Maslova M. V.
Published: July 2022

The research is devoted to the issue of teaching listening to school students. The paper aims to explore the potential of the audio theatre method for solving the problem of forming such schoolchildren’s auditory skills as the interpretation of speech utterances and the control of speech. The study utilises the methods of modelling audio theatre activity and theoretical literature analysis as well as the comparison between intonational and sound interpretation and audio theatre. The paper describes the procedural model of audio theatrical activity and the forms of organising school students’ work on an audio performance (lesson-reading, lesson-communication). Additionally, literary genres and literary texts that can be subject to oral interpretation are mentioned. The examples of converting genre-role scenes from A. S. Pushkin’s works (mainly from «The Captain’s Daughter») into sound form demonstrate the way the audio theatre method is applied. The paper consistently conveys the nuances of converting the verbal language and the paralanguage of individual dialogic fragments into sound. It is concluded that audio theatre is effective not only as a method of building the skills that are needed to interpret and control speech. Moreover, helping learners to master listening skills in practical activity, audio theatre is a method to stimulate readers’ interpretations, develop students’ meta-consciousness, and bring together two school subjects, namely the Russian Language and Literature.

Algazina and her school. These include: developing the theory of spelling methodology and its basic concepts (orthogram, variant of an orthogram, identifying features of an orthogram, the theory of the variants of orthogram difficulties); creating the educational strand «Computer support of Russian lessons» and describing its methodological foundations in order to include digital technologies in the traditional lesson of the Russian language; practical testing of the created electronic textbooks and packages of educational computer programs in all sections of the Russian language course. The paper concludes with the idea that the scientist’s legacy is relevant as it has not declined in importance. What is more, it continues to develop in scientists’ research and practicing teachers’ activity.
The regional specific features of phytoimages in the works by the Primorye writer Mikhail Demenok
Authors: Marinchenko I. A. , Vasil’eva E. V.
Published: July 2022

The article examines the functional-semantic peculiarities of the multi-level representation of comparative constructions that include phytoimages obtained from the works by the Primorye prose author Mikhail Stepanovich Demenok’s (1937–2016). The study aims to describe the regional specific features, semantic peculiarities and functions of figurative comparative constructions (similes) used in the Far Eastern naturalist writer’s works. The research was performed within the framework of functional stylistics. It relies on the cognitive approach to simile as a significant component of the artistic and poetic picture of the world that reflects the writer’s language personality. The obtained results demonstrate that phytoimages in Mikhail Demenok’s prose are represented by three main paradigms: "a plant – a human", "a plant – an animal", "a plant – things and structures created by man". The metaphorical model ginseng – a human, figurative convergence of trees and endemic animals of Primorye (a gnarl on a birch – a tiger, branches – a Manchurian wapiti’s antlers), comparing taiga to the ocean (a tree – a coral, a liana – an octopus) are regional in nature. The simile images that are based on the writer’s individual associations are semantically and stylistically charged in the text. They perform the perceptual-figurative, expressive, emotional-evaluative, and aesthetic functions. The impact of ethnocultural stereotypes can be traced in the principles of using such simile images. Along with similes with comparison words (i. e. with syndetic coordination), which ensure that the phytoimages are vivid and realistic, Mikhail Demenok employs in his works other figurative comparative constructions with a high degree of figurative concretisation. These include the instrumental of comparison, the genitive metaphor, metaphorical appositions, and other linguistic means. The research results make it possible to conclude that phytoimages fully reveal the naturalist writer’s artistic-poetic picture of the world in which man and nature are inextricably linked, are in perfect harmony.
The spelling of short forms of verbal adjectives ending in -нный/-nniy: н/n or нн/nn (from materials of the academic description of Russian orthography)
Authors: Beshenkova E. V.
Published: July 2022

The article examines one of the unresolved spelling issues, namely the formulation of a clear rule for spelling н/n or нн/nn in short forms of verbal adjectives ending in -нный/-nniy. This rule should correspond to lexicographic data, consistent writing practices, and the historical direction of the changes in the spelling of individual units. The criteria and structure of the rule have been revised. The traditional rule is based on the dichotomy "participle (н/n)/adjective (нн/ nn)", but it makes several possible exceptions for adjectives. Moreover, there are numerous examples of spelling one н/n in short forms of adjectives. The paper outlines the new rule and the reasons for its introduction. The criteria for selecting the correct spelling and the rule structure have been modified. The main criterion is the word stress in the short forms of participles and verbal adjectives ending in -нный/-nniy: 1) if the word stress is placed on the suffix only in the masculine form, there is one letter н/n (хорошо сложён, сложена, -о, -ы, / horosho slozhyon, slozhena, -o, -y / engl.: wellbuilt; навострён, навострена, -о, -ы / navostryon, navostrena, -o, -y / engl.: sharpened or concentrated); 2) if the word stress is placed on the suffix in all forms, there are two letters нн/nn (утончён, утончённа, -o, -ы / utonchyon, utonchyonna, -o, -y / engl.: refined; непринуждён, непринуждённа, -о, -ы / neprinuzhdyon, neprinuzhdyonna, -o, -y / engl.: relaxed); 3) if the suffix remains unstressed in all short forms, there is one letter н/n (атрофированы, востребованы, пресыщена / atrofirovany, vostrebovany, presyshchena / engl.: atrophied, in demand, satiated). Additionally, there are 100 words whose spelling is determined by referring to a dictionary. These lexemes fall into three groups. In the first group, the criterion for choosing the correct spelling is the grammatical category of the participle/adjective (люди собраны на митинг – люди собранны, серьезны / lyudi sobrany na miting – lyudi sobranny, seriozny / engl.: people are gathered for a meeting – people are concentrated, serious). As for the second group, participles are spelt with one н/n (пауза выдержана / pausa vyderzhana / engl.: a pause is made); adjectives are spelt with both н/n and нн/nn (пьеса выдержана в духе… – она выдержанна / pyesa vyderzhana v dukhe… – ona vyderzhanna / engl.: the play is in the spirit of… – she is unperturbed) depending on the meaning conveyed. The third group includes those words spelt with нн/nn which do not correlate with participles (восторженны, отчаянны / vostorzhenny, otchayanny / engl.: enraptured, desperate). The analysis of writing practices made it possible to review the codifications of several words provided in dictionaries. These lexemes have been classified as a separate group.

MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THREE SPECIES FOOD CHAIN WITH INTRASPECIFIC COMPETITION AND HARVESTING ON PREDATOR
Authors: Manaqib Muhammad , Suma'inna Suma'inna , Zahra Amalia
Published: July 2022

This research develops a mathematical model of three species of food chains between prey, predator, and top predator by adding intraspecific competition and harvesting factors. Interaction between prey with predator and interaction between predator with top predator uses the functional response type II. Model formation begins with creating a diagram food chain of three species compartments. Then a nonlinear differential equation system is formed based on the compartment diagram. Based on this system four equilibrium points are obtained. Analysis of local stability at the equilibrium points by linearization shows that there is one unstable equilibrium point and three asymptotic stable local equilibrium points. Numerical simulations at equilibrium points show the same results as the results of the analysis. Then numerical simulations on several parameter variations show that intraspecific competition has little effect on population changes in predator and top predator. While the harvesting parameter predator affects the population of predator and top predator.

On the Names of Livorno in the Hebrew Arabic-Speaking World
Authors: Nissan Ephraim
Published: July 2022

Whereas the Tunisian Arabic name for people from Livorno (Leghorn) has received attention in the scholarly literature, the same cannot be said for the Baghdadi Judaeo-Arabic name of Livorno. The latter subject is the original and necessary contribution of this article: the Maghreb is not Western Asia. In order to more fully appreciate how the Baghdadi Jewish name for Livorno came into being, the history of the export of Jewish books from Livorno is central. Jewish devotional literature published in Livorno (sometimes specifically for the Iraqi market) or emulating the model of Jewish books from Livorno had a steady market in Baghdad, it could be said almost up to the traumatic exodus of the Jews of Iraq in 1950‑51. Through Baghdad or London, the outreach of such books from or emulating Livorno for use by Jews of Iraqi origin can be said to have extended to ‘Baghdadi Jews’ commercial colonies in India, and probably Burma, Penang, South East Asia’s islands, and Hong Kong.
Writing Sexuality in the Autobiographical Form
A Reflection of Mona Prince’s Novel So You May See
Authors: Mahgoub Miral
Published: July 2022

This article explores the representation of the female body and sexuality in modern Arab women’s writing in Egypt, focusing on the 1990s generation and the emergence of a new literary trend of explicit writing, or so-called kitābath al-jasad, which exposes bodily subjects using explicit sexual language, prohibited sensual themes, and erotic fantasies as tools of revolt against social and political taboos and as a means of challenging extremist Islamic religious rhetoric and the patriarchal authority. My representative example of this generation and this writing is Egyptian novelist Mona Prince. In her novel, So You May See (2011), experience connects to nakedness protest movements by using the body as a key vehicle to protest fundamentalist religious powers that oppose women’s liberation. In both contexts of body protest (clothed or unclothed), female sexuality is the tool par excellence to combat religious extremist rhetoric that amplifies hostility towards women.
In the Twilight of Humanity: Incommunicability, Hospitality and Violence in Hoda Barakat’s Courrier de la nuit
Authors: Bianco Annamaria
Published: July 2022

Narratives bearing on the experiences of forced migration are increasingly numerous within contemporary Arab literary production. The present essay aims to analyse Hudā Barakāt's novel Barīd al-layl (2017) by setting it within this 30-year trend. By bringing several generations of Arab displaced onto the scene, this book is particularly representative of the paths that led to the current ‘refugee crisis’ and acts as a trait-d’union between past and present experiences of flight. By choosing to use the epistolary form, Barakāt gives back their agency to her ‘subaltern characters’ and grounds their exil back where it started: in the contexts of war and repression of their countries, but also in the loathing of their dysfunctional families. In this way, the experience of displacement is no longer romanticised as in the past, through the fictional tools of nostalgia and memory, but relocated in the harshness of its reality. Shelters provided by the West to these fleeing people ultimately prove to be spaces of nightmare and bestiality. Drawing on the Derridean concept of ‘hostipitality’, my analysis of the novel will show how Barakāt focuses on describing the side effects of ‘bad welcoming’ on both asylum seekers and the host society, unveiling mechanisms of bio-power and subterranean violence that make the whole world a dystopian representation of humanity in its twilight years.
Mind, Energy and Lightness: A Comparison Between Indian Buddhism andtàijíquán太極拳
Authors: De Notariis Bryan
Published: July 2022

This paper presents a text-based comparison between some elements of Indian Buddhism that are extant in Pāli, Sanskrit, and Chinese sources with someTàijíquán太極拳 principles drawn from theTàijíquán jīng太極拳經 ‘Classics of Tàijíquán’ in addition to some similar textual materials from bothTàijíquán太極拳 andQìgōng氣功 traditions. Buddhist accounts in which body and mind’s interactions generate a perception of lightness (Pāli:lahu; Sanskrit:laghu/raghu; Chinese:qīng輕) will be compared with descriptive and prescriptiveTàijíquán太極拳 accounts in which the movement of the energy (qì氣) in the body similarly produces a state of lightness (qīng輕). The paper will also discuss some theoretical presuppositions to the act of comparison, starting with the reflections expressed by Jonathan Z. Smith.
On Structural Particles in Sinitic Languages: Typology and Diachrony
Authors: Arcodia Giorgio Francesco
Published: July 2022

In the Chinese linguistic tradition, the term ‘structural particle(s)’ (jiégòu zhùcí 结构助词) is used to refer to functional elements that mainly act as markers of adnominal modification, nominalisation, adverbial modification and in the so-called verb complement constructions. In Standard Mandarin, the three commonly used structural particles are all realised as /tə/, but they are written with different characters (的, 地 and 得), which somehow reflect their distinct origins. However, the same functions are mapped onto different markers in other Sinitic languages, and each of the functions listed above may be associated to more than one construction. In this paper, we provide an overview of the range of variation in the domain of structural particles in Sinitic, based on the analysis of a convenience sample of 77 Chinese dialects. We highlight some areal and genealogical trends in the distribution of these forms, and we discuss some hypotheses on their origins and on their evolution: specifically, we focus on the markers of adnominal and adverbial modification. We argue that markers of adnominal and adverbial modification may sometimes arise from different sources and undergo formal merger, due to structural analogy and/or to phonetic similarity.
China and COVID-19: Assessing a State’s Image Repair Strategies in a Global Crisis
Authors: Pinardi Chiara
Published: July 2022

On 31 December 2019, China reported the emergence of a cluster of pneumonia of unknown cause in the city of Wuhan in the province of Hubei. As the novel disease turned into a global pandemic, China had to face a serious damage to its portrayed image of a responsible global power. Combining Benoit’s Image Repair Theory (IRT) with a contextual framework singling out cultural, societal and political variables that influence Chinese Communication Strategies (CCSs), the article pioneers the analysis of strategies adopted to respond to public image’s threats by adding an explicative nuance to their selection and reception.
Comparison of Different Laboratory-Scale Ensiling Methods for Evaluating the Influence of Silage Additives on Maize Silage
Authors: Kaya Emrah
Published: July 2022

The current study aimed to compare the nutritional, chemical, and fermentative changes of maize silages with some additives prepared in standard glass jars (SGJ) and vacuum-packed model polyethylene bags (VP, Rostock). The treatment groups were control group (no addition), barley group (grinded barley addition 20 and 40 g kg-1), lactic acid bacteria (LAB) group, and LAB+enzyme mixture group. The ensiling method had no effect on the pH of the silage. (P=0.974) but the pH was increased with LAB addition (P=0.030). The dry matter (DM) contents of silages were increased by barley addition (P=0.030). Silages hemicellulose (HEM) content was decreased by ENZ inoculation (P=0.017). Silages total carbohydrates (TC) and metabolizable energy (ME) concentrations were highest in 40 g kg-1 barley group (P<0.01). The silages fleig point (FP) was decreased by LAB inoculation (P=0.016). Silage ether extract (EE), ADF, NDF and crude cellulose (CC), total digestible nutrients (TDN), and fermentation parameters (acetic, butyric, lactic and propionic acids) were not impacted by the ensiling methods or silage additives (P>0.05). These results showed that vacuum-packed polythene bags do provide practical, ﬂexible, and cost-efficient alternative to ﬁxed-capacity glass containers for laboratory scale silage experiments.

Araştırmada kullanılan Tunceli sarımsağı (Allium Tuncelianum) tohumları, 2020 yılı ağustos ayında Isparta Uygulamalı Bilimler Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi deneme bahçesinden temin edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada Tunceli sarımsağı tohumlarının in vitro koşullarda çimlenmesi ve çoğaltılması üzerine GA3 uygulamalarının etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Tunceli sarımsağı tohumlarının sterilizasyonu amacıyla 4 faklı sodyum hipoklorit dozu denenmiş ve en başarılı sonuç tohumların %10 sodyum hipoklorit içerisinde 10 dakika+ %20 sodyum hipoklorit içerisinde 20 dakika çalkalanmasıyla elde edilmiştir. Tohum çimlendirme denemesinde MS ortamı (Murashige ve Skoog, 1962) kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada bitki büyüme düzenleyicisi olarak giberellik asidin (GA3) 4 farklı (0.5, 1, 1.5 ve 2 mg l-1) konsantrasyonu incelenmiştir. Araştırmada en iyi çimlenme 2. ayda % 33.34 oranıyla 0.5 mg l-1 GA3 uygulamasında tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada en yüksek sürgün sayısı (5 adet) 0.5 ile 1 mg l-1 içeren MS ortamında tespit edilirken en düşük sürgün sayısı (2 adet) kontrol uygulamasında tespit edilmiştir. Soğan sayısı bakımından değerlendirildiğinde ise 1 ve 1,5 mg l-1 GA3 içeren MS ortamlarının ön plana çıktığı belirlenmiştir. Kök sayısı açısından en iyi doz 1.5 mg l-1 GA3 içeren uygulamada tespit edilmiştir. Kök oluşum yüzdesi en fazla 1 ve 1.5 mg l-1 GA3 içeren ortamda görülmüştür. Kallus oluşumu (kallus boyu ve eni) 0.5 mg l-1 GA3 içeren MS ortamında gözlemlenmiştir.

Authors: Verkhovsky N. P.
Published: July 2022

P. Verkhovsky, an experienced railway manager, wrote a book entitled «Railway Confusion» and devoted to comprehensive solution of a wide range of topical problems of organisation of the activity of railway companies. In 1910, he presented the book in a special report to the 8th Department pf the Imperial Russian Technical Society. The report was positioned as a focused review of the contents of the oeuvre. Extracts from the first part of the report published below are dedicated to the detailed and argued reflexions of the author on the requirements for the educational background of engineers and railway CEOs. If we use modern terminology, then the speaker highlighted career trajectory more suitable to finally occupy the position of managers, development of professional and soft skills, leadership and team building, the role of railway high educational institutions, mainstream issues to be included into curricula. Then the speaker refers to almost comprehensive set of issues referring to staff management and social policy towards the employees. The issues covered included organisation of railway education, high and higher school activities, social care regarding railwaymen’s children, health and many other aspects.

The final part will be published in one of the next issues of our journal.
Features of Methods for Assessing the Long-Term Traffic Intensity in the Design of Toll Roads
Authors: Mikryukov K. S.
Published: July 2022

Long-term traffic intensity is among core characteristics that determine main parameters while developing projects for construction of new highways. The long-term traffic intensity influences estimated speed, pavement design, total number of traffic lanes, width of traffic lanes and roadsides, longitudinal slope, radii of horizontal curve, transverse slope, radii of convex and concave curves regarding the longitudinal profile, width of median strip, layout of intersection or junction with other roads.

Existing methods for predicting traffic intensity for toll roads are also deterministic and cannot estimate the range of values for the listed indicators. In this regard, the objective of the study is to identify the features, advantages, and disadvantages of existing methods for assessing the long-term traffic intensity for toll roads.

The study considered both traditional, classical methods (extrapolation, historical analysis, approximation) and promising innovative approaches based on the theory of fuzzy logic and neural network modelling.
