The role of emotional styles in information avoidance regarding negative news
Authors: Torabi Mahsa , Khezri Hiwa , Torabi Samaneh
Published: January 2025

Introduction. This study explores the influence of emotional styles on students’ information avoidance behaviour, particularly about negative news.
Method. Using a sample of participants, we employed the Emotional Styles Questionnaire (ESQ) to measure emotional styles, alongside an information avoidance questionnaire to assess participants' tendencies to avoid distressing news. Cronbach’s Alpha for both questionnaires indicated good reliability.
Analysis. Data analysis involved confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and regression analysis to validate the instruments and explore the relationships between emotional styles and information avoidance.
Results. Results demonstrated that higher resilience and greater sensitivity to context are significantly associated with increased information avoidance among students.
Conclusion. These findings suggest that students with resilience and sensitivity to context emotional styles engage in strategic information avoidance to manage their emotional well-being. The study's implications highlight the need for tailored interventions to enhance emotional resilience and adaptive coping strategies, offering insights for mental health professionals, educators, and policymakers. Future research should investigate cultural differences and longitudinal changes to further understand the dynamics of information avoidance. This research underscores the importance of considering emotional dispositions in information-seeking behaviours, contributing to the broader theoretical framework of emotional regulation.
APPLICATION FEATURES OF STEEL PRODUCTS NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
Authors: А. Zhakupov
Published: January 2025

This article presents the research results of the changes dependence in the magnetic properties of 25CrMoV steel on the degree of products stress-strain state. This phenomenon of influence allows non-destructive detection of the steel products loading degree by determining magnetic characteristics such as coercive force and residual magnetic induction. These parameters are the main indicators of intensity and magnetization for the hysteresis loop of steels. Changes in magnetic characteristics during plastic deformation are due to the formation of the martensite phase. The effect of deformation causes the formation of the martensite phase due to the decomposition of austenite, which leads to significant changes in the physical properties of the material. Control of the stress-strain state of steel based on measuring the coercive force and residual magnetic induction in the controlled steel has a high potential for development and application. The data obtained prove that the coercive force and residual magnetic induction are a reliable informative parameter for magnetic non-destructive testing.
Keywords: non-destructive testing, coercive force, residual magnetic induction, intensity, 25CrMoV.

Целью исследования являлось выявление механизмов формирования микро- и макроструктурных неоднородностей в корковой зоне слитков, а также их трансформации в поверхностные дефекты в процессе нагрева, пластической деформации и прокатки. В рамках исследования были разработаны и применены методики анализа макро- и микроструктурных, а также химических неоднородностей слитков и готового листового проката.
Был предложен сравнительный метод структурно-концентрационного анализа металла на всех этапах металлургического передела: от слитка до листового проката. Методика основана на использовании металлографических методов для изучения структуры и качественного анализа неметаллических включений.
Результаты исследования показали, что качество поверхности листового проката в значительной степени определяется физической неоднородностью корковой зоны слитка, в то время как на внутренние дефекты тонколистового проката существенно влияет загрязненность металла неметаллическими включениями. Был предложен новый механизм трансформации дефектов корковой зоны отливки в поверхностные и внутренние дефекты листового проката.
Данное исследование способствует более глубокому пониманию процессов образования и трансформации дефектов при обработке металлов, а также разработке стратегий повышения качества листового проката. Особое внимание в исследовании уделяется контролю физической неоднородности корковой зоны слитка и минимизации загрязнения неметаллическими включениями для получения высококачественного проката.

Authors: Fitra Fitra , Meizikri Rizki , Wathoni Roidah TZ , Hidayat Imam
Published: January 2025

Introduction Craniotomy and hematoma evacuation is the gold standard of treatment for epidural hematoma (EDH). However, minimal invasive surgery for EDH might come in handy in conjunction or as a standalone therapy for EDH, as some of them might be easier to perform in a dire situation. In this literature review, we aim to review the available literatures regarding minimally invasive surgery for EDH.
Method This literature review described the available studies about minimal invasive surgery for EDH.
Result Thirteen studies were identified. The procedures consisted of burrhole-based approach, minicraniotomy, endovascular, and image-guided evacuation. Several of the procedures were performed on hypodense-appearing EDH, some on post-operative EDH, and one on venous-sinus-involving EDH. The majority of studies reported favourable outcome after minimal invasive surgery.
Conclusion Available literatures showed that most minimal invasive surgery can be performed quickly and is thus suitable for the emergency nature of EDH. Liquified-appearing EDH, post-operative EDH, or EDH situated near the dural venous sinus were among the reasons to pursue minimal invasive EDH evacuation. Minimal invasive surgery for EDH generally resulted in favourable outcome. Larger studies are required to validate the benefit of minimal invasive surgery as a standalone therapy or in combination with standard craniotomy for EDH.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Growth is essential in children, especially in the first two years of life. History of low birth weight (LBW) and gestational age are known to be several factors that influence growth and relate to growth retardation. This study aims to analyze the effect of gestational age on the growth of LBW infants.
Methods: An observational analytical study design with a retrospective cohort approach and quantitative study methods was conducted in September 2023. Subjects were gathered by simple random sampling. Twenty-four preterm infants and 24 full-term infants born from September 2021 to September 2022 who met the inclusion criteria were followed up. Subjects were weighed on a scale, and the results were plotted on the World Health Organization (WHO) weight-for-age growth chart. The plotted results are presented as a Z-score, which can be further categorized into two groups: severely underweight and underweight (growth not achieved), along with normal and risk of overweight (growth achieved).
Result: Of the 48 subjects, the majority were male (66.67%), aged between 12-15 months (39,6%), born by cesarean section (83.3%), and had a history of exclusive breastfeeding (64.6%). Most subjects with a history of full-term and preterm LBW were in the normal category (70.8% and 75%, respectively). The result showed full-term LBW infants have 1.75 times greater risk of not achieving growth than preterm LBW with RR 1.750 (95%CI 0.588 to 5.207).
Conclusion: Gestational age affects growth, with full-term infants at more risk of not achieving growth.

The article widely uses logical, inductive, deductive, systematic, logical-legal, and comparative-legal research methods. In particular, first of all, the concept of qualifying crimes, the concept and structure of the facultative signs of the objective side of the crime, the specific criminal-legal description of the place, time, situation, method, weapon, and means of committing the crime, their structure, and one of them when qualifying the act—interaction with each other is described in detail. The scientific views and researches of scientists on the theoretical basis of the qualifying crimes and the facultative signs of the objective side of the crime in the theory of criminal law, as well as the similarities and differences between them, are described in detail. Also, the legal nature of the facultative signs of the objective side of the crime, its types, and its structure were comparatively analyzed, and the problematic aspects of them were identified and described sequentially. Based on the scientific views and approaches of scientists, the theoretical and practical aspects of the three specific criminal-legal significances of the objective side of the crime in the qualification of the act were analyzed, and they were called the "triple" with specific criminal-legal significance. At the same time, analyzing the theoretical bases of the qualifying crimes, the doctrine of criminal law, and the scientific research available in it, as well as the relevant norms of the criminal legislation of foreign countries, the norms of the special part of the Criminal Code related to the objective aspect of the criminal structure, and some of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan, reasonable theoretical proposals and recommendations have been developed regarding the improvement of the relevant clauses of the decision.
COMPLETED AND INCOMPLETE ATTEMPTS
Authors:   Tashkent State University of Law, Kamalova Dildora
Published: January 2025

An attempt to commit a crime is a type of incomplete crime characterized by the initiation of the criminal act. An assault is committed on an object protected by criminal law, causing harm or creating a risk of harm. At the stage of attempting to commit a crime, part of the objective side of a specific crime is carried out, meaning that the action or inaction expressed in the disposition of the Special Part of the Criminal Code is fully or partially implemented, but the desired criminal outcome does not occur. In criminal law doctrine, attempts are classified into completed and incomplete types. The criteria, legal significance, and differences in this classification have not been sufficiently analyzed. This article provides a scientific-theoretical and practical analysis of the legal nature of completed and incomplete attempts, and the author forms conclusions on this issue. To prevent misunderstandings when using terms such as a completed crime and uncompleted attempts, to adhere to the requirements of legal technique, and based on the interconnection of the stages of committing a crime, it has been justified that it is appropriate to apply the types of attempts as “unfinished attempt” and “finished attempt.” It is also proposed to differentiate the nature of the social danger of an uncompleted attempt and a completed attempt in the imposition of punishment.

A satellite-based analysis of semi-direct effects of biomass burning aerosols on fog and low-cloud dissipation in the Namib Desert
Authors: Mass Alexandre , Andersen Hendrik , Cermak Jan , Formenti Paola , Pauli Eva , Quinting Julian
Published: January 2025

Abstract. In the Namib Desert, fog is the only regular water input and, thus, is a crucial water source for its fauna and flora. Each year, between June and October, absorbing biomass burning aerosols (BBAs) overlie the stratocumulus clouds in the adjacent Southeast Atlantic. In some synoptic settings, this layer of BBAs reaches Namibia and its desert, where it interacts with coastal fog and low clouds (FLCs). In this study, a novel 15-year data set of geostationary satellite observations of FLC dissipation time in the Namib Desert is used, along with reanalysis data, to better understand the potential semi-direct effects of BBAs on FLC dissipation in the Namib Desert, i.e., through adjustments of atmospheric stability and thermodynamics via the interaction of aerosols with radiation. This is done by investigating both the time of day when FLCs dissolve and the synoptic-scale meteorology depending on BBA loading. It is found that FLC dissipation time is significantly later on high-BBA-loading days. BBAs are transported to the Namib along moist free-tropospheric air by a large-scale anticyclonic recirculation pattern. At the surface, the associated longwave heating strengthens a continental heat low, which modifies the circulation and boundary layer moisture along the coastline, complicating the attribution of BBA effects. During high-BBA days, the vertical profiles of the temporal development of air temperatures highlight contrasting daytime and nighttime processes modifying the local inversion. These processes are thought to be driven by greenhouse warming as a result of the moisture in the BBA plumes and BBA absorption (only during the daytime). A statistical learning framework is used to quantify meteorological and BBA influences on FLC dissipation time. The statistical model is able to reproduce the observed differences in FLC dissipation time between high- and low-BBA days and attributes these differences mainly to differences in circulation, boundary layer moisture and near-surface air temperature along the coastline. However, the model is prone to underfitting and is not able to reproduce the majority of the FLC dissipation variability. While the model does not suggest that BBA patterns are important for FLC dissipation, the findings show how the moist BBA plumes modify local thermodynamics, to which FLC dissipation is shown to be sensitive. The findings highlight the challenges of disentangling meteorological and aerosol effects on cloud development using observations and invite detailed modeling analyses of the underlying processes, for example, with large-eddy simulations.

Abstract. Uncertainties in the rate of sea level rise, coupled with ongoing urban expansion, create challenges for city planners in designing flood risk adaptation strategies. This study analyzes flood exposure rates in Rotterdam's unembanked areas from 1970 to 2150. We modeled flood hazards for 10–1000 year return periods under both low (RCP2.6) and high (RCP8.5) emission scenarios, while assessing exposure using historic and planned urban development data. Without adaptation measures, flood exposure in Rotterdam’s unembanked areas is projected to increase. For 10-year flood events under RCP8.5, exposure rates are expected to increase 7-fold by 2150 compared to 2020. For RCP2.6, a 3-fold increase is projected, reflecting uncertainties in long-term sea level rise. A retrospective analysis reveals an improvement in flood exposure: exposure levels observed in 2020 were approximately half those observed in 1996, due to construction of the Maeslant storm surge barrier. Temporal variations in exposure rates are attributed to three factors: urban development, sea level rise, and the construction of the Maeslant barrier. Exposure rates are primarily influenced by the Maeslant barrier, followed by sea level rise and urban development. Understanding the interplay of these three factors is crucial for urban planning and flood risk management in delta cities.

Abstract. Submesoscale (SMS) processes within a stratified coastal environment are characterized based on glider missions and a realistic simulation with the SMS permitting grid spacing of 0.125 nautical miles. The study period covered the conditions of the developing and established seasonal stratification in the Gulf of Finland (Baltic Sea). The tracer variance maximum was detected around the upper mixed layer (UML) depth and shallower than the depth of the maximum density gradient in spring and in the seasonal thermocline in late summer. We suggest that atmospheric forcing is the key driver of these disparities. In spring and early summer, predominantly positive net surface heat flux promoted water column stratification, and wind-induced mixing often did not reach the lower portion of the UML – likely SMS flows due to the horizontal buoyancy gradients developed there. In conditions, when the net surface heat flux was close to zero or negative, wind forcing had a more prominent role in shaping dynamics within the thermocline. High SMS tracer variance was consistently observed and simulated in the subsurface layers at the offshore side of a coastal baroclinic current characterized by slanted isopycnals. We propose that topography-related instabilities of frontal currents can create favourable conditions for SMS subduction transporting tracers from the sea surface near coastal boundary towards offshore and downwards, below the seasonal thermocline.

The poetic ego is a modern expression must distinguish the poet who has a unique poetic personality. In the modern era, Ego witnessed many transformations, with the emergence of the romantic school, but the symbolic and existential schools  created another form of the Ego, emerged from psychiatric clinics and was crystallized by the Austrian psychologist (Sigmund Freud), I intend to address one type of these new poetic transformations,   classical characteristics of Female Ego in the works of the Sudanese poet Rawdha Al-Hajj compared to the Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad." the Sudanese I will study the classical poetic female ego and its features, in their Arabic or translated into Arabic poetry. My study will be a critical comparative study in the light of the psychological approach. The expected outcomes of the study includes but not limited to, continuation of the traditional form of the poetic ego in modern poetry, and emergence of new forms of the poetic ego weak female ego.

In Report to Greco, Nikos Kazantzakis presents his autobiography as an extended letter to "Greco," a symbolic figure representing the ideal exiled artist of the modern era. The book discusses significant human and cultural issues, including the purpose of writing, through a narrative that interweaves the author's life, relationships, and creative process. Kazantzakis structures his narrative with binary oppositions, blending poetic language, symbolism, and allusions to create a unique artistic style.
This study aims to explore the literary and artistic techniques Kazantzakis employs in his autobiography, analyzing how these elements contribute to resolving the internal conflicts that dominated his thoughts. His methods result in a poetic autobiography distinct from classical approaches. The narrative integrates elements of philosophy, poetry, spirituality, and history, reflecting Kazantzakis' profound contemplation of life and art.
Through vivid metaphors, detailed descriptions, and layered imagery, Kazantzakis offers an introspective journey that connects personal experiences with universal themes. His work transcends traditional autobiographical frameworks by incorporating mythological and cultural elements, enriching the narrative with profound symbolism and emotional depth. This research highlights the innovative methods Kazantzakis used to transform his autobiography into a poetic and philosophical masterpiece, addressing the interplay between identity, creativity, and redemption.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La inducción es una etapa clave para el aprendizaje profesional del profesorado y es especialmente desafiante para quienes asumen el cargo de profesor jefe. Estos profesionales necesitan importantes apoyos para desempeñar su cargo, aprender su profesión y aminorar su rotación y deserción. El presente artículo busca identificar y caracterizar los apoyos que recibe el profesorado jefe novel para promover su aprendizaje profesional en los espacios donde participa en la comunidad escolar a la que pertenece. MÉTODO: Se trabajó desde un enfoque fenomenológico interpretativo. Se aplicaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a 15 docentes jefes noveles de centros educativos municipales, subvencionados y particulares de Chile. Los datos se analizaron utilizando el análisis temático y el análisis de correspondencias múltiples. RESULTADOS: Se identificaron seis tipos de apoyo, los cuales se materializan en espacios de actividad formales, que forman parte de la estructura organizacional y de funcionamiento del centro educativo, y en espacios de actividad no formales, que no forman parte de esta estructura. Es en este último donde se materializan los tipos de apoyo con mayor frecuencia. A su vez, es en el espacio de actividad profesional con especialistas donde actúa un mayor número de tipos de apoyos. DISCUSIÓN: Para fomentar el aprendizaje profesional del profesorado jefe novel, los resultados destacan la relevancia tanto de los apoyos materializados en espacios de actividad formales como no formales, los cuales responden a diferentes necesidades formativas. Por ende, este trabajo se aleja de conceptualizaciones que los contraponen y, en cambio, destaca su particularidad y complementariedad formativa. Así, para sostener el aprendizaje profesional y la permanencia del profesorado jefe novel destacamos la importancia tanto de diseñar apoyos formales ajustados a sus necesidades, como de promover culturas colaborativas que favorezcan la existencia de soportes mutuos entre colegas y con especialistas.
¿Qué necesitan los centros y las familias para poder forjar una alianza? La perspectiva del profesorado de Educación Infantil y Primaria

Introducción. La relación entre la escuela y la familia es un elemento imprescindible de calidad educativa que es necesario fortalecer (European Commission, 2021). El objetivo de este estudio es analizar, desde la perspectiva del profesorado, qué necesidades tienen los centros escolares y las familias para poder forjar una alianza exitosa. Método. Se recurrió a la técnica del grupo de discusión para lograr un acercamiento profundo a la visión subjetiva del profesorado. Participaron 16 docentes de Educación Infantil y Primaria repartidos en tres grupos de discusión. Se analizó su discurso mediante un análisis de contenido empleando el programa Atlas-ti. Resultados. Emergieron dos subdimensiones, una referida a las necesidades de los centros (cinco categorías) y otra a las de las familias (una categoría). Respecto a los centros, en primer lugar, el profesorado alude a la necesidad de una normativa para regular la relación centro escolar-familia, si bien la circunscribe a las obligaciones de las familias, incluso con consecuencias punitivas. No obstante, también empatiza con las dificultades de conciliación de las familias, abogando por una flexibilización de sus horarios laborales docentes para facilitar la participación familiar. Otras necesidades se refieren a la apertura de los centros hacia las familias y la comunidad, creando incluso redes de aprendizaje, contando con el soporte y la coordinación con otras instituciones. Por último, se demandan apoyos específicos para trabajar adecuadamente con las familias multiculturales. Respecto a las necesidades de las familias, las y los docentes consideran que precisan de formación, en especial, para paliar las deficiencias percibidas y, en menor medida, para favorecer su participación. Conclusiones. El profesorado es el agente clave en la relación escuela-familia, por lo que sus necesidades percibidas deben ser consideradas para lograr una alianza entre los centros y las familias, y hacer posible la participación democrática de la comunidad escolar.
