Climatological aspects of Tehran tropopause
Authors: RAHBAR MAHMOOD
Published: February 2022

This study is based on 3 years daily observations of upper air of Tehran (35No) during 1964-66. The author identifies the characteristics of Tehran tropopause and investigates the relationships of Some, of these characteristics with the temperature and pressure of the surface. The altitude of the tropopause changed between 5.7 and 19.2 km; in 57 percent of the cases the tropopause altitude was between 10-13 km.  Average daily change of tropopause altitude was about 1 km. The fluctuation of the altitude was more in summer than in winter. In 50 percent of the cases, the tropopause has a mean temperature of –600 with an approximation of 50C. The average of tropopause pressure was 183 mb. The temperature of the Tehran tropopause in January and July was quite different from that estimated for the Lat. 350N. There existed a postive correlation between the altitude of tropopause and the surface temperature on the one hand, and a negative correlation between the temperature of tropopause and the surface temperature on the other hand. No significant correlation was found between tropopuase pressure and the surface pressures.
Effect of air pollution on radiation and human comfort over six Indian stations
Authors: REDDY S. JEEVANANDA , JAYANTHI S.
Published: February 2022

Using the theoretical values of the total solar radiation received at the top of the atmosphere an attempt has been made to find out, for six Indian stations, the depletion of radiation by the atmospheric particulate matter, by determining the reduction, due to the presence of perceptible water vapour content and the cloudiness in the atmosphere. The effect of pollutants of solar radiation at these six stations are computed and discussed in comparison with the others results.

Using solar radiation values received at the surface, with pollutants (Rt1), and without pollutants (Rt ) in the atmosphere, radiation discomfort Indices are calculated and discussed.

Published: February 2022

Magnetic surveys were conducted around Karimnagar town of Andhra Fradesh to trace the quartz-magnetite bodies and to determine the exact nature of the unexposed dykes known to be running through the local college and the surrounding areas. The results clearly state that the underground bodies are only dolerites and quartz-magnetites do not occur anywhere except at three places. Laboratory studies indicate that the magnetism necessary to produc6 the observed anomalies could be easily attributed to dolerites.

A review of some upper air analyses in relation to prediction of Nor'westers
Authors: MULL S. , GANGOPADHYAYA M. , GEORGE C. A.
Published: February 2022

Standard upper air analyses, such as delineation of thermal thickness patterns on isobaric  surface,    computation of development', vertical component of absolute vorticity of geostrophic winds and horizontal wind velocity convergence were made in relation to the nor'wester thunderstorms over northeast India and East Pakistan. For the thickness analysis, the special Dine's meteorograph observations taken in April 1944 at shorter intervals of  time and from a closer network of stations than in 1953 were used, while all the above-mentioned analysis were made for eight consecutive days in May 1953. No significant medium-range prognostic value was found in any of the analyses based on the available network of radiosonde and upper wind data for forecasting the nor'westers 12 to 36 hours ahead of their actual occurrence. Nevertheless, the partial thickness patterns of the 700/500 mb-layer, the field of 'development' and the lower level wind velocity convergence, based on the evening data for a particular day, appeared to influence the nor'wester development on the same evening and night.
Lisbon Earthquake of 1 November 1755
Authors: MUKHERJEE S. M.
Published: February 2022

Available data on the Lisbon earthquake have been reviewed. Some new aspects of the earthquake have been brought out and a few others reinterpreted in the light of data of the recent Assam earthquake. The fresh calculations made show that this Lisbon earthquake may be considered as the strongest of all shooks for which scientific data are available. The magnitude of the earthquake has been approximately determined as 8.7 and energy between 1017 ergs and 7 X 1017 ergs or double the energy of the Assam earthquake of 1950 with depth of focus 18 km.

Seiches appear to be associated with shallow earthquakes of magnitude exceeding 8.5. True seiches are generally observed over the region just o11tside the felt area. The shook may be felt and hanging objects may oscillate the energies of the shocks. Isolated seiches may occur at very large distances, say, even 4000 or 5000 miles, from .the epicentre.

Law enforcement against the crime of laundering committed by corporations, has not been carried out optimally. This is because there are no legal rules that clearly regulate the form of corporate responsibility as a subject of criminal law and the low understanding of law enforcement in understanding existence as a subject of criminal law. Based on this background, the research formulated the problem of how to prove the mechanism of money laundering crimes committed by corporations in corruption crimes in Indonesia, as well as how to enforce the law against corporations that commit money laundering crimes in corruption crimes in Indonesia. The method used in this research is normative legal research by using secondary data sourced from primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials which were analyzed using qualitative juridical analysis methods. From the research results, it can be seen that the proof of money laundering crimes committed by corporations is based on corporate criminal responsibility as stipulated in Article 6 of Law no. 8 year 2010 on ML. The government together with the DPR must immediately formulate and make regulations regarding corporate criminal liability as a legal subject for criminal acts, especially in the Criminal Procedure Code (RUU-KUHAP). So that law enforcement against corporate crimes, especially money laundering crimes committed by corporations can have legal certainty.

Nowadays, Indonesia is facing a pandemic that brought us to a rapid digital transformation, which brings us to the middle of the digitalization era. One of the generations who absorb the effect of this is Generation Z. Although Generation Z mastered technology better than other generations, Generation Z’s sense of nationalism can’t fade because nationalism is necessary for a nation. The literature study method is used in this paper, where the writer collected literature materials based on some keywords in Google Scholar. Generally, challenges that Generation Z’s facing is in the form of bad characteristics of Generation Z, technology abuse, unfiltered foreign culture, and bad influence of social media & virtual world. Pancasila as the nation’s fundamental holds the main role for this problem’s solution since it contains values of life and national identity. Character education is also necessary since it holds many important aspects to stir up the sense of nationalism. Other unique approaches are also quite important, such as ethnomathematics implementation & scout extracurricular. We are lacking in solutions to fix this issue. More innovative ways need to be discovered and implemented to maintain the sense of nationalism in Generation Z.

Implementation of blended learning in foreign language teaching in Russian secondary school (based on the questionnaire data)
Authors: Krasnoperova Yulia
Published: February 2022

Due to the current epidemiological situation, Russian teachers turned to blended learning, which has been quite successfully practiced in the foreign education system for several decades. Setting ourselves the task of developing a step-by-step algorithm for the introduction of blended learning in foreign language lessons, it is necessary to study the current experience of using blended learning by foreign language teachers in educational institutions of Russia. The article presents the results of a questioning of foreign language teachers from 14 subjects of Russian Federation. 881 respondents answered the blended learning questionnaire. Based on the results of the survey, it can be concluded that the majority of foreign language teachers in general education schools consider blended learning to be a necessary part of the system in changing living conditions, however, there is a need to develop methodological recommendations that will algorithmize the use of blended learning in foreign language lessons in a general education school. According to the survey data, blended learning may be the main pedagogical technology that meets the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, however, there is a lack of understanding of blended learning as a technology, which is often replaced by the concept of using ICT. The foregoing reveals the need to develop an algorithm for the introduction of blended learning technology and to implement it in real foreign language lessons in a secondary school.
Educational experiment in the structure of blended learning technologies
Authors: Shapovalov Anatoly
Published: February 2022

In the article, based on the material of physics, the significance of an educational experiment in teaching natural sciences is actualized. The data of the analysis of the evolution of an educational experiment in teaching a school course in physics are presented. A decrease in the share of demonstration and laboratory experiments in educational programs has been noted. The conclusion is made about reducing the requirements for teachers to put an educational experiment at the forefront of all teaching of the subject. The data of the conducted micro-research among future physics teachers revealed their unwillingness to build the teaching of the subject on an experimental basis. The reason for the low level of experimental training of students is the formal approach on the part of teachers and regulatory bodies to the setting of demonstration and laboratory experiments. Optimistic judgments were expressed regarding the demonstration experiments, which, without prejudice to the level of teaching physics, can be replaced by corresponding video recordings. The article presents three options for solving the problem of setting up a laboratory experiment in the implementation of distance and blended physics teaching technologies at school and university. The first option involves conducting experiments on simple home-made equipment. According to the second and third options, in the remote learning mode for conducting educational research, students receive instructions and video recordings of the experiments, as well as materials for processing the measurement results. In the second version, experiments are carried out using software and hardware systems. In the third version, traditional measuring instruments are used. The article provides information on access to experimental materials prepared by the authors of the ongoing pedagogical research.

Converging Paths of Variation: Bilingual Rhotics and Language Change in the Archipelago of San Andres, Colombia
Authors: Restrepo Ramos Falcon
Published: February 2022

This study examines the acoustic realization of phonemic taps and trills across generations of Creole-Spanish bilinguals in the Archipelago of San Andres, Colombia. Formant frequencies in the form of F2 and F3 were compared in the realization of 1,450 rhotics presenting no lingual closure produced in the bilingual Spanish speech of three generations of Creole-Spanish speakers. Alongside, F2 and F3 values were extracted from rhotic segments produced in the monolingual varieties coexisting in the Archipelago, Islander Creole (n=328) and Colombian Continental Spanish (n=150). Results show that F3 frequencies and the distance between F3-F2 in senior bilinguals increasingly resemble the values in Islander Creole approximants, whereas younger generations are more closely associated to Continental Spanish. Supporting this trend is the fact that second generation speakers stand at an intermediate position between generations. These findings suggest a change in progress where approximants in younger generations are converging in the direction of Colombian Spanish, while formant frequencies in seniors are more associated with Islander Creole.

Authors: Pawłowska Justyna , Gądek Artur , Wodka-Natkaniec Ewa
Published: February 2022

Background. Despite the availability of numerous articles and analyses carried out in many healthcare centres, there is still no specific guidelines for both orthopaedic surgeons, and physical therapists for patients preparation after total knee arthroplasty to return to driving a car. The influence of many factors should be taken into account, such as: the operated side, the pain associated with the injury and surgery, the lack of sufficient force to slow down in extreme conditions, the patient’s reaction time and the lack of self-confidence when making such an important decision. Both the patient and the doctor who decides to let the patient drive a car must be aware that this is a very complex and responsible action. This may have an impact on the safety of the patient himself as well as other road users. The aim of the study was to analyse the research carried out so far and to help doctors and physiotherapists in taking the decision of returning the patient to driving a car. Most of the available studies are based on driving simulators and automatic gearboxes where a safe braking element is achieved in three to six weeks, where left-sided TKA patients can return to driving after 4 weeks. The most promising research seems to be in real driving, which allows them to return to driving just 3 weeks after the procedure. Material and metods. The medical databases, i.e. PubMed and Medline were searched for articles concerning the studied issue. The search have covered all databases until April 2020. Most of the work presented is based on a 1994 study and article made by Spalding, who was the first who conduct a study concerning the return of TKA patients to driving. Results and Conclusions. Safe, possible return to driving in patients after TKA is possible 6 weeks after the procedure.

There are significant differences in back pain symptoms between the studied groups of physical and office workers. 2. In both groups the patients reported suffering from pain during and after work. 3. Both groups reported that spinal pain made it harder for them to perform everyday activities and occupational duties and that the type of job had the greatest impact on pain.
The history and achievements of Department of Endocrinology
Authors: Obmiński Zbigniew
Published: February 2022

This report presents the history of Department of Endocrinology at Institute of Sport and its scientific and diagnostic achievements across the last 40-year period. A crucial role of the use of advanced analytical techniques, equipment, as well appropriate collaboration between coaches and scientists has been shown for development of our Department. The hormonal examinations among healthy, young and physically active people are undertaken: for elucidate mechanisms of physical adaptation to maximal efforts, reasons for lack of an adaptation despite a training, and finally for understanding of the influence of strong emotions appearing prior to a competition on a rise of fall of the hormones levels. Studies of the mentioned issues allow to determine biological costs in competitive sport, to establish an optimal training and to determine risk of development of chronic fatigue, which occurs, when the ratio of resting time to effort time is inappropriate. Based on metabo­lo­mics analysis in capillary blood we have developed useful utilities for coaches. Our scientific achievements focused on analysis of serum free cortisol and testosterone levels and comparisons of these data with concentrations of the salivary hormones. It was shown, that salivary hormones represent their biologically active fractions in the blood. Moreover, the results of our investigations showed, that exercise-induced changes in body temperature and blood acidification may lead to the increases in the biologically active hormones without their secretions into the blood. The above seems to be most crucial conclusion of our scientific investigations.
Pain principles of treatment in osteoarthritis (general assumptions, analgesic ladder, pan assessment scales
Authors: Tomaszewski Wiesław
Published: February 2022

Pain is a frequently encountered symptom in physiotherapists’ practice, re­gardless their specialty. However, despite the continuous progress in the development of the means and approaches to pain alleviation, too many patients unnecessarily suffer from pain. Successful treatment of chronic pain is possible in more than 90% of patients and it is not only the primary care physician’s or specialist’s duty, but also the duty of specialists in physiotherapy and even psychotherapists. Every patient suffering from pain has the right to require and expect successful treatment from the therapist. And a physician or a phy­siotherapist has to meet their patients’ demands! Regretfully, in everyday cli­nical practice, a physician or a physiotherapist do not have adequate tools to their disposal and are unable to apply adequate treatment approaches ena­bling objective assessment of pain intensity degree.

Este trabalho realiza uma comparação do desempenho de dois algoritmos na busca da maior subsequência comum (LCS - Longest Common Sub- sequence) entre sequências de proteínas de organismos vivos. Para isso foram utilizadas sequências de diversos tamanhos e realizados testes com os algoritmos de Wagner-Fischer e Needleman-Wunsch. Foi observado que conforme o tamanho da entrada cresce, o tempo de execução aumenta linearmente para ambos os algoritmos, contudo, apresentando melhores resultados para o algoritmo de Wagner-Fischer.

Background: The usual intake of fish products is not common in Iranian mothers. Objectives: Regarding the significant effect of this nutrient material on neonatal outcomes, we aimed to evaluate the breast milk docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) level in mothers with preterm delivery. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done in 67 mothers with gestational age lower than 36 weeks during 2018 - 2019. Breast milk samples of 5 - 10 milliliters were evaluated by gas chromatography for DHA level. Then, the correlation between the breast milk DHA levels and neonatal outcomes was assessed. Results: A total of 67 mothers were eligible in the study. The mean gestational age and birth weights were 31.54 ± 4.44 weeks and 1707.85 ± 595.83 g, respectively. The mean DHA, as a percentage of total breast milk fatty acids, was 0.29 ± 0.0127%. Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between the breast milk DHA level and gestational age, birth weight, maternal age, delivery mode, neonatal growth index, and neonatal complications. The relationship between the intake of food materials rich in DHA and breast milk level was not statistically significant. Conclusions: We concluded that the breast milk DHA level of mothers with preterm delivery was acceptable, although it revealed no significant correlation with maternal factors and neonatal outcomes.

: In 1994, the mandatory iodized salt consumption became a law in Iran, and since then, almost all people have routinely and effectively received iodine. This study aimed to compare the iodine sufficiency among Iranian students in 1996 and 2017. We used Iran’s health ministry national data on urinary iodine among 8- to 10-year-old students. A total 13,389 and 2,917 urine samples were examined for monitoring in 2017 and 1996, respectively. The median urinary iodine (MUI) excretion of samples was 18.26 µg/dL in 2017 and 20.5 µg/dL in 1996. Based on the urinary iodine index (< 10 μg/dL), 14.53% and 19.61% of students had iodine deficiency (ID) in 1996 and 2017, respectively, which mild, moderate, and severe insufficiency was 8.83%, 2.3%, and 3.43% in 1996 and 14.86%, 3.72% and 1.01% in 2017. So, the main achievement of this national program was the reduction in severe ID rate during these years (3.43% vs. 1.01%).

Background: Thyroid nodules are common clinical findings. Although there are various accepted treatments for benign thyroid nodules, such as surgery and thermal treatment, there are some alternative methods for the management of these patients at lower costs with minimal complications. Objectives: This study aimed to compare volume reduction in radiofrequency (RF) ablation and single-session ethanol ablation (EA) and to investigate the effects of levothyroxine therapy (LT4) on benign thyroid nodules. Patients and Methods: In this clinical trial, 91 patients with benign thyroid nodules, presenting to different medical centers in Tehran, Iran, from December 6, 2018, to December 6, 2019, were included. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected and randomly allocated into three groups: group 1, a single session of RF ablation (n = 31); group 2, a single session of ethanol injection (n = 30); and group 3, a six-month LT4 treatment (n = 30). Thyroid tests, including thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO), T3 resin uptake (T3RU), and serum calcitonin level, were recorded at baseline and within one-, three-, and six-month intervals. The nodule volume was also assessed using sonography at baseline and in the follow-ups. Results: The mean volume reduction was 73.6%, 80.1%, and 8.7% at six months after the intervention in the ethanol injection, RF ablation, and LT4 treatment groups, respectively (P < 0.001). There was a significant relationship between the mean volume reduction and the follow-up period (one, three, and six months) (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The RF ablation therapy was found to be the optimal modality for the management of benign thyroid nodules, as it was associated with the greatest mean volume reduction. Conversely, the lowest mean volume reduction was observed in the LT4 treatment group during six months of follow-up.
The Prophetic—Peacemaker Dynamic in the Light of Oscar Romero’s Theology of the Transfiguration
Authors: Calleja Carlo ,   Center for Peace and Justice Education at Villanova University
Published: February 2022

This essay explores the prophetic—peacemaker dynamic using Oscar Romero’s theology of the Transfiguration as an interpretative key. I argue that there is a continuum between being a prophet and being a peacemaker and that one is dependent on, and informs, the other. For Romero, the mystery of the Transfiguration involves a journey undertaken by the community from Calvary to the Resurrection. The Transfiguration is a stark reminder that the Cross always leads to the Resurrection and that there can be no Resurrection without the Cross. Before being realised in the community, however, this is embodied in those individuals or communities that sound a prophetic voice, thus acting as peacemakers. In so doing, the community finally partakes of a foretaste of Christ’s Resurrection.
Equity: Balancing certainty and flexibility to secure justice
Authors: Griffin J. G.
Published: February 2022

The development of legal principles which arise from judicial decisions, forming the common law, are often criticised for their apparent rigidity. Equity has thus traditionally filled the role of counteracting this nature, flexibly reactive to the circumstances of those coming before the law. However, expectations that equity is simply counterbalancing the often unfair rigours of strict law obscures today’s reality that it is more than just flexible. Indeed, equity can be just as rigid in its application as the common law, being necessarily both prescriptive and vague in parts to mitigate otherwise unfair outcomes. This proposition suggests that the common law and equity are achieving unexpected forms of alignment, which may eventually prompt them to become indistinguishable without necessitating their fusion. Indeed, observing the gradual development within the judicial application of equity and its alignment with flexibility yields a limited perspective to analyse how equity achieves justice. Instead, equitable remedies, generally regarded as being the purest form of equity in action, can be studied to identify how equity at its most flexible encapsulates aspects of rigidity. Such a duality between seemingly counterposing variables demonstrates an increase in overall effectiveness. Further, drawing a comparison with common intention constructive trusts identifies that this phenomenon is not limited to equitable remedies alone. The significance of this analysis is twofold: first, it broadens the prevailing perspective of debate, which adheres to a binary view juxtaposing certainty versus flexibility; and second, it suggests that the relationship between equity and the more rigid common law is one of co-dependence, rather than the two systems being either fused or independent. Indeed, equity and the common law cannot exist without each other, as both interact to varying extents in the pursuit of justice. Crucially, this insight presents new benchmarks for the mechanisms of justice, requiring that just outcomes may not be achieved without maximising both reliability and fairness.
