The spread of COVID-19 continues, expressed by periodic wave-like increases in morbidity and mortality. The reason for the periodic increases in morbidity is the emergence and spread of novel genetic variants of SARS-CoV-2. A decrease in the efficacy of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has been reported, especially against Omicron subvariants. There have been reports of a decrease in the efficacy of specific antiviral drugs as a result of mutations in the genes of non-structural proteins. This indicates the urgent need for practical healthcare to constantly monitor pathogen variability and its effect on the efficacy of preventive and therapeutic drugs. As part of this study, we report the results of the continuous monitoring of COVID-19 in Moscow using genetic and virological methods. As a result of this monitoring, we determined the dominant genetic variants and identified the variants that are most widespread, not only in Moscow, but also in other countries. A collection of viruses from more than 500 SARS-CoV-2 isolates has been obtained and characterized. The genetic lines XBB.1.9.1, XBB.1.9.3, XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, XBB.2.4, BQ.1.1.45, CH.1.1, and CL.1, representing the greatest concern, were identified among the dominant variants. We studied the in vitro efficacy of mAbs Tixagevimab + Cilgavimab (Evusheld), Sotrovimab, Regdanvimab, Casirivimab + Imdevimab (Ronapreve), and Bebtelovimab, as well as the specific antiviral drugs Remdesivir, Molnupiravir, and Nirmatrelvir, against these genetic lines. At the current stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of mAbs developed against early SARS-CoV-2 variants has little prospect. Specific antiviral drugs retain their activity, but further monitoring is needed to assess the risk of their efficacy being reduced and adjust recommendations for their use.

HPV vaccination coverage rates can vary depending on several factors. The main objective of this study is to identify possible independent prognostic factors that have an impact on HPV vaccination in a rural community, specifically related to sexual and reproductive health. A case–control, retrospective, community-based study was carried out on women aged 15 to 40 in the primary health centers of Southern Catalonia’s Terres de l’Ebre region, Spain, from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022. A random sample of 520 women with an average age of 29.3 (SD 7.8) years old was included in the study. Independent prognostic factors: age OR 0.680 (95% CI: 0.635–0.729, p < 0.001), immigrant origin OR 0.215 (95% CI: 0.109–0.422, p < 0.001), and HPV PCR OR 7.402 (95% CI: 2.504–21.880, p < 0.001). The variables that showed a barrier effect for HPV vaccination were age (OR 0.680, 95% CI 0.635–0.729, p < 0.001), and immigrant origin (OR 0.215, 95% CI 0.109–0.422, p < 0.001). The variable that showed a facilitating effect for HPV vaccination was HPV PCR (OR 7.402, 95% CI 2.504–21.880, p < 0.001).
Fusing Satellite Precipitation Products Based on Top–Down and Bottom–Up Approaches and an Improved Double Instrumental Variable Method for the Chuanyu Region, China, from 2007 to 2019
Authors: Wei Zhihao , Li Sien , Yu Haichao
Published: September 2023

Precipitation is one of the crucial variables in the hydrological and ecological cycles. High-quality precipitation data are of great importance for climate change, water resource management, and agricultural research over complex terrains. Recently, satellite precipitation products have been produced based on different retrieval algorithms, mainly the top–down and bottom–up approaches. Fusing satellite precipitation products based on these two different approaches may combine their advantages and achieve a better data quality for describing precipitation. In this paper, an improved double instrumental variable (IMDIV) method is proposed for data quality enhancement by merging IMERG (integrated multi-satellite retrievals for global precipitation measurement), which is based on the top–down approach, and SM2RAIN (soil moisture to rain), which is based on the bottom–up approach. In detail, IMERG-Early (IMERG early run) and IMERG-Final (IMERG final run) are merging with SM2RAIN at a daily scale, respectively. Rain gauge station records from GHCNd (Global Historical Climatology Network Daily) are used to evaluate the original and fused precipitation products for the Chuanyu region, China, from 2007 to 2019. The results show that the proposed IMDIV method outperforms the original DIV method on precipitation fusion tasks. Moreover, the proposed IMDIV-EAS (fusing IMERG-Early and SM2RAIN) and IMDIV-FIS (fusing IMERG-Final and SM2RAIN) products both outperform the original precipitation products IMERG and SM2RAIN, with higher correlation coefficients (R) of 0.603 and 0.634; better RMSEs of 5.136 and 5.088 mm/day; and better biases of 0.514 and 0.509 mm/day. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the high quality of the fused products, which could be useful for hydrology and climate studies.

Published: September 2023

The terrestrial components of the hydrological cycle include rainwater, surface water, and groundwater. Carbon (C) isotopes allow hydrologists to pinpoint the age of groundwater, track its flow rate, and identify the sources and processes. This research summarizes previous investigations conducted on the isotopes of groundwater and precipitation. The Scopus database contains works from authors from fifty nations, who have conducted research integrating C isotopes in groundwater and precipitation. The review shows that there have been few C isotope investigations on carbon storage and sequestration, as well as on δ13C of precipitation in arid regions. An integrated e-DNA investigation on the process of C isotope fractionation in diverse environments, as well as research on 13C of precipitation in arid regions before and after dust storms, is required to elucidate the relative contributions of biogenic, geogenic, and anthropogenic sources. However, carbon isotope fingerprints that are unique to individual compounds, such as those of fugitive gases, need sophisticated analytical equipment in order to be investigated, limiting this type of study to nations with robust scientific infrastructures and well-trained manpower. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been instrumental in this effort by providing collaborative research and analytical support, resulting in the development of a network for isotope data generation.

Published: September 2023

In hyper-arid regions, soil moisture’s role in ecohydrological processes can differ significantly from that in arid or semi-arid ecosystems. We investigated the spatial–temporal dynamics of soil moisture and its relationship with groundwater depths in a 200 m × 300 m phreatophytic tamarisk stand in the lower basin of the Tarim River, a hyper-arid zone in China. Soil moisture profiles, from the surface to the water table, were derived using drilling and oven-drying techniques. Over a three-year period, the soil moisture at multiple depths was continuously monitored in a specific plot using nine frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) sensors. Our results indicate a correlation between horizontal variations in soil moisture and groundwater depths (GWDs). Nevertheless, anomalies in this correlation were observed. Variations in horizontal soil moisture were strongly influenced by the clay content in the soil, with finer soils retaining more moisture. Despite varying GWDs, soil moisture profiles remained consistent, with no distinct correlation between them. Soil moisture exhibited stability across layers, with noticeable changes only adjacent to the water table. These results imply that in hyper-arid environments, soil texture primarily governs soil moisture distribution. However, the limited spatial and temporal scopes in our dataset, constrained by the region’s inhospitable conditions, necessitate further investigation. Future work should prioritize amalgamating diverse data sources to devise a region-specific soil moisture model for in-depth analysis of hyper-arid regions.

Published: September 2023

The contamination of industrial water sources with synthetic dyes, such as methylene blue (MB), remains a persistent environmental concern, demanding effective remediation techniques. In response, this research centers on the utilization of trimetallic nanoparticles (TMNPs) composed of Fe-Ni-Cr, Fe-Ni-Cd and Fe-Ni-Cu as a promising solution to address color-related pollution in aquatic ecosystems. These nanoparticles were synthesized using the wet chemical precipitation method and rigorously characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-rays (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Armed with these trimetallic nanoparticles, our primary objective was to harness their photocatalytic prowess when exposed to direct sunlight in aqueous environments for the degradation of MB. The progress of photodegradation was meticulously monitored using a reliable visible spectrophotometer, providing insights into the degradation kinetics. Remarkably, within just six hours of solar irradiation, the TMNPs exhibited a remarkable capacity to degrade MB, achieving an impressive degradation rate ranging from 77.5% to 79.4%. In our relentless pursuit of optimization, we conducted a comprehensive examination of various parameters including catalyst dosage, dye dosage, and pH levels, focusing specifically on the Fe-Ni-Cr TMNPs. Through systematic experimentation, a trifecta of optimal conditions emerged: a pH level of 10 (resulting in a 79.35% degradation after 1.5 h), a catalyst amount of 0.005 g (yielding 43.5% degradation after 1.5 h), and a dye concentration of 40.0 ppm (culminating in a 42.54% degradation after 1.5 h). The study also extended its scope to explore the regeneration potential of the catalyst, shedding light on its sustainability in long-term applications. Amidst the vibrant interplay of color and water, TMNPs emerged as a symbol of optimism, offering a promising avenue for the removal of synthetic dyes from the water system. With each experiment and investigation, we inch closer to realizing clearer waters and brighter environmental horizons.

Published: September 2023

This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hygiene practices and water consumption in Indonesia. Data were collected through an online survey, supplemented by the official national socio-economic survey. The findings indicate an increase in hygiene practices, particularly handwashing, aligned with health protocols. This behavior led to higher water and hygiene product usage, unaffected by socio-economic factors. Respondents’ perception of COVID-19 and compliance with health protocols drove the increase, with older individuals preferring handwashing with water and younger individuals favoring hand sanitizer. Access to improved drinking water remained stagnant, while bottled water consumption rose. This highlights challenges in achieving the SDG 6 targets for safe drinking water. This study stresses the need to address COVID-19 perception to promote better hygiene practices and raises concerns about increased water usage, domestic pollution, and wastewater management during and after the pandemic. These insights could inform policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working in public health and water management to achieve SDG 6 goals amidst the pandemic and beyond.
Measuring Social Vulnerability to Climate Change at the Coast: Embracing Complexity and Context for More Accurate and Equitable Analysis
Authors: Johnson Danielle , Blackett Paula , Allison Andrew E. F. , Broadbent Ashley M.
Published: September 2023

Social vulnerability indices are often used to quantify differential vulnerability to the impacts of climate change within coastal communities. In this review, we examine how “tried and tested” methodologies for analysing social vulnerability to climate hazards at the coast are being challenged by a new wave of indices that offer more nuanced conclusions about who is vulnerable, how, and why. Instead of producing high-level, generalised, and static conclusions about vulnerability, this new wave of indices engages more deeply with the interlinked socioeconomic, cultural, political, and economic specificities of place, as well as the multi-scalar and temporal dynamics, incongruities, and inconsistencies that are inherent to peoples’ lived, felt experiences of social vulnerability. By integrating these complex observations into an output that is still readily accessible to decision- and policy-makers, the new wave of indices supports the pursuit of more tailored, context-appropriate, and equitable climate adaptation. We suggest one way that these more nuanced forms of vulnerability analyses might be operationalised, by reflecting on an experimental research project that uses personas or fictional characters to examine social vulnerability to climate change in coastal Aotearoa New Zealand.

Lanzhou is the only provincial capital city in Northwest China where the main stream of the Yellow River and its tributaries flow through the city. Due to its geographical location and the influence of various factors, it is difficult to evaluate and simulate the climatic, hydrological, and ecological processes of the main stream of the Yellow River and its tributaries in the region. In this study, the Wanchuan River basin, currently undergoing ecological restoration, was selected as the study area. Seasonal backscatter differences generated using Sentinel-1/2 (S1/S2) data and the CD algorithm were used to reduce the effects of surface roughness; vegetation indices, soils, and field measurements were used to jointly characterize the vegetation contribution and soil contribution. Then, SM maps with a grid spacing of 10 m × 10 m were generated in the Wanchuan River basin, covering an area of 1767.78 km2. To validate the results, optimal factors were selected, and a training set and validation set were constructed. The results indicated a high level of the coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.78 and the root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.08 for the comparison of measured and inverted water contents, indicating that the algorithm retrieved the SM values of the study area well. Furthermore, Box line plots with ERA5-Land and GLDAS confirmed that the algorithm is in good agreement with current SM products and feasibility for soil water content inversion work in the Wanchuan River basin.

Over the last half-century, microbial communities of the Kamchatka hot springs have been largely studied using molecular, radioisotopic, and cultural approaches. Generally, these results were obtained for mixed samples of water with sediments, for only hydrothermal water, or for only sediment samples. Simultaneous comparative analysis of the microbial communities of water and sediments was performed for only one Kamchatka hot spring with circumneutral pH. Here, the microbial communities of both sediments and water (separately) of hot spring #4229 (the Uzon Caldera, Kamchatka) with a temperature of 50–56 °C and pH of 3.2 were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene V4 fragment amplicon sequencing. It was revealed that the microbial community of sediments was represented by uncultured phylogenetically deep-branching lineages of archaea, such as ARK-15 within Thermoplasmatota and ‘Ca. Marsarchaeales’ from the Thermoproteota phyla. Metagenome analysis showed that these archaea most probably carried out the degradation of organic matter. The microbial community of the hot water is represented by thermoacidophilic, (micro)aerobic, chemolithoautotrophic, hydrogen- and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria of the genera Hydrogenobaculum (phylum Aquificota) and Acidithiobacillus (phylum Pseudomonadota). Radioisotopic tracing and DNA-stable-isotope probing techniques proved their role as primary producers in the hot spring. The experiment revealed significant differences in the composition and functions of the microbial communities of sediments and water through the example of a typical acidic hot spring in Kamchatka.

High-performance Work System and Employee Retention: A mediated Mediation Model
Authors: Khalid Komal , Jamal Boraji Amna
Published: September 2023

High performance work systems HPWS are integrated human resource approaches designed to enhance employees' skills and efforts, resulting in higher levels of performance and productivity (Zhu, et al., 2018). The major components of HPWS include selective hiring procedures, employment security, decentralization of decision-making, extensive training, information exchange, and fair paying, all of which are interconnected and work in concert (Zhang et al., 2019). Performance is increased when HPWS is employee service-oriented, while morale and employee retention ER are increased when HPWS is creativity-oriented (Jo et al., 2023). HPWS is more efficient than traditional organizational systems, nevertheless, it is yet unclear how this happens. Multiple studies have produced conflicting findings, and some even contend that HPWS may increase employee effort and stress (Jensen et al., 2022; Cooke et al., 2019). There is a gap on previous researches explaining how HPWS can help translate EPB, JE, and EP into better ER outcomes and whether this relationship differs depending on the organizational setting or the industries, these connections need to be explored further in order to find practical methods improve organizational capacity for employee retention. In accordance with Vision 2030 and the (National Transformation Program) the Saudi government is increasing the private sector's contribution to the nation's healthcare system (Rahman & Al-Borie, 2021).Even though a lot of work has been put into HPWS, there are still large research gaps in Saudi Arabia.So this study is enhancing the current knowledge by examining possible mediators (i.e., EPB, JE, and EP) between HPWS and ER helps further knowledge of the function of HPWS in the Saudi Arabian healthcare system in light of Vision 2030.

The growth of investment in Indonesia is developing so quickly, as can be proven by the existence curve from the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) notes that both investment realization of Foreign Investment (PMA) and Domestic Investment (PMDN) from year to year during the 2015-2019 period continued to increase. This has an impact on the company so as to make intense competition between companies. Every company must develop its competitive advantage in order to survive and advance the company. One of the advantages that companies need to develop is the company's financial performance (Lokollo and Syafruddin, 2013). The ratio analysis used by the company in assessing the company's financial performance is the profitability ratio. Every company has two main goals, namely to maximize profits and maintain liquidity. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect dividend payout ratio, liquidity, firm size and use of debt to profitability (Case study of companies listed on LQ-45). This study wants to analyze the effectdividend payout ratio, liquidity, firm size and use of debt to profitability. An increase in dividend payout indicates the condition and prospects of the company are in good condition, so that it will increase the company's profitability. The higher the liquidity, the more funds the company needs to settle the company's maturing obligations, this of course will reduce the company's profitability. If the level of company size is high, funds are easy to obtain, then the company's operations are smooth and will increase the company's profitability. If the company uses debt as a source of financing to support operations, it will reduce profitability.

Kentin algısını artıran, belleğe yerleştiren, imgeler oluşturan yapılar ve belirledikleri kentsel mekanlar, tek tek ve bütün olarak kent kimliğinin dolayısıyla kentlerin var olmasını sağlayan önemli bir bileşendir. Bu Çalışma, Artvin Merkez İlçe içerisinde, Kentin girişi noktası olarak önemli bir konuma sahip olan, Çoruh Nehri kıyı yerleşmesindeki değişim ve dönüşümü değerlendirmektedir. Bu kapsamda, bu bölgede yer alan Üniversite Yerleşkesi içindeki yapılar, İl Jandarma Komutanlığı yapısı, bir lise yapısı üzerinden görsel bir değerlendirme yapılmaktadır. Çalışmanın sonucunda; Bölgede son on yıl içinde inşa edilen yapıların ne çevresi ile ne de birbirleri ile ilişki kuramadığı görülmektedir. Aslında bölgede herhangi bir yapılaşma karakteri de yoktur. Farklı mimari üsluplar, farklı ölçekler, farklı renk ve doku özelliklerine sahip Kamusal Yapılar Nehir Kıyısında karmaşa yaratmaktadır. Çalışmada, Kamusal Yapıları içeren bu değerlendirmeler sonucunda yapıların ve kentsel mekanların kentin kimliğine ve gelişimine olası etkileri ve önemi vurgulanmaktadır.

Published: September 2023

Bu çalışma Türkiye’de kent sosyolojisi disiplininin gelişimini konu edinmektedir. Kent sosyolojisi, dünya nüfusunun her geçen gün biraz daha kentli bir hal kazanmasıyla önemini arttırmaya devam eden bir disiplindir. Türkiye, dünya ortalamasının üzerinde kentli nüfusa sahip olan bir ülkedir. Türkiye’de, başlıca kentin ve kentlilerin yaşamını konu edinen kent sosyolojisine ilişkin çalışmaların özellikle 20. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından bu yana hız kazandığını söylemek mümkündür. Söz konusu disiplin, üniversitelerin çeşitli bölümlerinin farklı akademik seviyelerinde takip edilen müfredatlarına da girmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, Türkiye’deki Kamu Yönetimi ile Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi bölümlerinin lisans ders müfredatlarının kent sosyolojisi konuları içeriğinde incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaç minvalinde betimsel içerik analiz metodu kullanılarak ilgili bölümlerin kent sosyolojisi alanında ne tür içeriklere sahip olduğu ortaya konulmuş ve disiplinin yaşamış olduğu gelişimin, bu bölümlerin lisans müfredatına ne denli yansıdığı irdelenmiştir. Birtakım kısıtlara sahip olan bu çalışmanın bir araştırma temeli oluşturacağı umulmakta, farklı bölüm ve farklı seviyelerdeki müfredatlar içerisinde kent sosyolojisi disiplininin yerini tartışmaya ilham kaynağı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
Criminalization and decriminalization as instruments of social control over persons who committed a crime
Authors: Karpov Kirill
Published: September 2023

Annotation: The relevanceof the research topic is determined by the complexities of modern trends in criminalization (decriminalization) within the framework of the emerging criminal law policy.

Generalization of the approaches formed in the doctrine (and the positions of the authors) to the ongoing changes in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, expressed in the increase in the number of criminal

law prohibitions and law enforcement practice, demonstrates the qualitative changes in the emerging prohibitions in relation to the designs of the relevant offences, sanctions, as well as the actually developing law enforcement practice in this area.

The object ofthe study is social relations linking criminalization processes with the stage of the implementation of criminal punishment and other measures of criminal law nature and further individualized crime prevention.

The aim of the study was to define the mechanism of criminalization (decriminalization) not only within the framework of criminal law prohibitions, but of further law enforcement practice as well.

As a result of the study, the author states that there is a correlation between the trend towards the increase in the number of criminal law prohibitions with the simultaneous introduction of instruments to reduce the punitive potential of sanctions contained in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as well as the practical reduction in the use of repressive measures. The partial use of measures of social control over the behavior of convicts as an instrument of private prevention is noted and the need to expand such means and their specification based on the characteristics of the crime committed and the personality traits of the criminal is pointed out.

The findings can be used in the legislative process, as well as law enforcement practice when assigning and executing punishment and other criminal law measures.

Authors: Maltseva Tatiana
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Job satisfaction is a key phenomenon that affects the effectiveness of an organization. Studies of this issue are currently extensive and informative, but there are still psychological processes, underlying the satisfaction with the work of the heads of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation, which

were not given sufficient attention. The presented work is aimed at partially filling the gaps in this area.

Methodology. The study involved the heads of structural divisions of territorial, educational, scientific, medical organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with different service life (n = 180). In the process of empirical research, descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, r-Spearman test, Mann–Whitney U-test, univariate analysis of variance were used. The results of the study were processed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 21 application package.

Results. The study showed that the heads of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation, on the one hand, are satisfied with their professional and service activities, and on the other hand, with an increase in the length of service in a managerial position, destructive moments, related to satisfaction in the professional field, appear. Analysis of the results revealed that satisfaction with achievements in work has a significant positive relationship with gender. The article outlines the points of practical application of the results of the study and further ways of developing this problem.

CLINICAL ETHICS COMMITTEES: RELEVANCE AND NEED
Authors: Shetty Raksha , Y. Samant Padmaja
Published: September 2023

Background:AClinical ethics committee (CEC) is established by a healthcare institution and assigned to consider, debate, study, take action on, or
report ethical issues that arise in patient care. The objective of this study was to identify various ethical dilemmas faced in clinical practice, the
perceived need for provision of CECs in our healthcare institutions, challenges faced therein, their structure and functions and to nd ways to
develop ethical competence among healthcare providers. Methods: A questionnaire-based study involving 45 participants comprising of
clinicians from various specialities, ethicists and hospital administrators at a tertiary care, teaching hospital in Mumbai, India. Results: Key ethical
issues dealt with revolved around patient autonomy, privacy, condentiality and consent. There was a consensus that CECs are essential in our
hospitals and should have multidisciplinary membership. The tripartite functions of CECs, namely case consultation, institutional policy review
and development and ethics education were pointed out by our participants. Lack of nancial and human resources, clinicians' reluctance to
recognize ethical issues and seek ethics consultation, ignorance about CECs and their functions were identied as limitations to the functioning of
CECs. Our results also highlight the need for dedicated ethics training programs for healthcare providers in India. Conclusion:CECs are helpful in
facilitating moral deliberation and building consensus in the face of value conict. There is need for further research addressing the real gaps and
institutional challenges of CECs and evaluating the functions of CECs
