Ресурсосберегающие элементы технологии возделывания томата на капельном орошении в условиях малоземельной Республики Ингушетия весьма актуальны, так как дефицит водных ресурсов очень высок. В статье приводятся данные, которые характеризуют как саму культуру томата, так и ее значение в производстве АПК региона. Производство томата в условиях защищенного грунта с применением капельного орошения является процессом трудоемким и высоко затратным. Задача данных исследований применить рациональные, экономически выгодные элементы технологии производства томата, позволяющие получить запланированный урожай плодов, в тепличных условиях. Как показывает практика, основными показателями эффективности производства томата является урожайность и рентабельность. Применение капельного орошения является одним из самых эффективных и перспективных способов возделывания томата, так как дает большую экономию оросительной воды и что экономически выгоднее других способов полива. Изложенные данные говорят об актуальности проведенных исследований. Для получения высокого урожая томаты были изучены нормы посадки томата от одного до трех растений на одном квадратном метре при предполивной влажности почвы 70-75%НВ от посадки до момента образования плодов, а от начала до конца плодоношения – 80-85%НВ. Принятая норма посадки дает гарантированный высокий урожай томата 40- 80кг/м2. Ниже в статье приводятся данные об экономической эффективности производства томата в условиях защищенного грунта.

Эта статья исследует категорию предестинатива в самодийских языках, с фокусом на лесном ненецком. Рассматриваются синтаксические и семантические особенности предестинативных форм, а также проводится их сравнение с именным временем и низкими аппликативами. В статье предлагается объяснение в рамках гипотезы совмещения вершин, согласно которому маркеры предестинатива озвучивают вершину, совмещающую вершину i*, вводящую внешний аргумент, и вершину D. Этот анализ объясняет смешанные свойства предестинативных посессоров и открывает еще одно возможное совмещение вершин с его синтаксическими последствиями.

This paper explores the predestinative category in Samoyedic languages, focusing on Forest Nenets. It examines the syntactic and semantic properties of predestinative forms, comparing them with nominal tense and low applicative. The study proposes a bundling hypothesis, suggesting that predestinative markers spell out a bundle of an argument-introducing i head and the D head. This analysis explains the mixed properties of predestinative possessors and unveils another possible bundle along with its syntactic effects.
INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND TRANSFER OF DEFENSE TECHNOLOGIES IN SUPPORT OF NATIONAL SECURITY
Authors: Haydak I. , Haydak V.
Published: January 2025

In recent years, international technology transfer has been complemented by the export of weapons production technologies and the formation of international consortia that have used these technologies to launch licensed production of foreign weapons and military equipment in developing countries. Mechanisms for coordinating the activities of countries in the production and purchase of weapons and military equipment have emerged. This has strengthened and increased the sustainability of international flows of military goods and services. The transfer of weapons and military equipment production technologies and foreign experience in managing military production to foreign countries has also accelerated. International production and sales structures have emerged.
For Ukraine, international technology transfer is one of the vectors of innovative development of the national economy, which is why there is an active scientific and practical interest in studying the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of international technology transfer, its features and development trends, in particular in the military-technical sphere.
The development of international scientific and production cooperation in the field of military products leads to the further expansion of military-economic preparations beyond national borders, as a result of which the share of the national military industry is increasingly determined by the level of development of foreign economic relations. A powerful market for military-technical products (MTP) has formed, including weapons; military equipment and property, military and dual-purpose technologies, and military-technical services. At the same time, military spending contributes to an increase in the rate of accumulation, technological development of the economy, reduction of unemployment, and economic growth.
A METHODICAL APPROACH TO THE FORMATION OF DANGER ZONES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROGRAMS AND METHODS OF FLIGHT TESTS OF GROUND-BASED GUIDED MISSILES

Published: January 2025

The article presents a methodological approach to the formation of hazard zones during the field testing of surface-to-surface and surface-to-air guided missiles, based on the study of possible scenarios for the formation and development of emergency situations caused by failures of their components. The list of possible failure scenarios and related emergencies is formed based on the results of the circuit analysis of the design of the studied sample and functional and morphological decomposition, with preference given to the functional feature.
To form a list of possible emergency situations, a functional and morphological decomposition is carried out with preference given to the functional feature, which results in the distribution of the causes of malfunctions and damage that lead to emergencies into groups. To assess the serviceable condition, the logical-probabilistic method is used, the essence of which is that the structure of the object under study is described by the function of logic algebra, and the quantitative assessment of the serviceable condition is based on the methods of reliability theory. As a result of this transformation, the probability function will already act as a probability of truth as a function of the algebra of logic. In this case, the structure of the object under study is described by a function of the algebra of logic, and the quantitative assessment of the operable state is described by a probabilistic function. It is convenient to represent the function of logic algebra in disjunctive normal form. Each conjunction of the disjunctive normal form represents a path leading to an unsafe state.
The choice of an algorithm for the practical transformation of a logic algebra function into a probabilistic function is made taking into account the complexity of the calculations and the requirements for the accuracy of the results. The most suitable algorithms in this sense are the orthogonalization algorithm, the recursive algorithm, and the path-building algorithm. For software implementation, the most convenient is the recurrent algorithm, which is an acceptable compromise between simplicity and result error.
As an example, a logical scheme for the formation of possible scenarios for the development of abnormal situations that lead to the transition of a guided missile to an uncontrolled flight is presented.
The Concept of ‘time’ in M.A. Bulgakov's Novel “The Diaboliad

Published: January 2025

The paper provides a comprehensive study of the concept of “time” in M.A. Bulgakov's novel “The Diaboliad”. Basing on the hypothesis of the discontinuity of time (O.V. Shalygina), the authors assume that the passage of time in the story is torn as a result of the superimposition of a layer of old time on a layer of new time, which creates a temporal breakdown, the cause of which is a special turning point in the history of Russia — the Revolution — which marked the transition from non-viable time to the new, accelerated one. The study distinguishes historical (destruction of the natural course of objective `historical` time, displacement of familiar chronological boundaries as a result of fundamental economic and political changes in the country) and personal (feeling of falling out of time as a result of slowing down, accelerating or shifting historical time) types of temporal breakdown and describes the means of their creation: lexical (direct lexical time pointers, adverbs and verbs with the semantics of unnaturally fast action), syntactic (parcellation, change of narrative rhythm, asyndeton, accumulation of verbs) and stylistic (hyperbole, grotesque, alliteration, repetitions, synecdoche). The authors conclude that the result of a temporal breakdown in the story is the fallout of the protagonist, who finds himself in a situation of strong emotional shock, from time (madness) and his exit into the space of boundlessness (death).

Roerich's Central Asian expedition was truly unique and large-scale. The route traveled by the expedition was complex and varied, including mountain passes at high altitudes and the territories of five different states. As the head of the expedition, Nicholas Roerich was assigned certain tasks related to the study and description of various aspects of the life of the countries under study. An overview of the social life, economic situation and political preferences of the population, as well as an analysis of the influence of various countries in Central Asia were all part of the work of the expedition. The expeditionary achievements of the Roerichs are extensive and deserve the attention of historians, ethnologists, linguists, and art historians. The results of the expedition are confirmed by the rich artistic and ethnographic heritage that was created, collected and processed by the Roerich family. Their expeditionary diary is of great interest for cross-cultural analysis, as well as the study of the features of the iconography of the paintings of N.K.R.

The author attempts to reconstruct the biography of A.L. Gorbunkov, the first artistic director, instructor and consultant of Chukchi art workshops. The paper does not cover the entire biography of Gorbunkov, but outlines the events from his birth to his return from a business trip to Chukotka in late 1935. In the context of the activities of a professional artist, the research examines the process of the emergence of art workshops in Chukotka in the early 1930s, determines the moment and clarifies the reasons for the transition to an organized craft, still not fully studied in Russian science. To mark the place of Gorbunkov’s figure in the development of the Chukchi and Asian Eskimo walrus ivory-carving industry, the author provides insights into the peculiarities of the historical and cultural context of the first third of the 20th century and, further, presents he biographical information of the first artistic director of the Chukchi workshops and the main events of his work on the Chukchi Peninsula. The study reveals a corpus of previously unpublished archival materials, that makes it is possible to draw a general portrait of the founder of the first permanent ivory-carving workshops in Chukotka.
The Phenomenon of Silence in Culture: M. Heidegger and V. Bibikhin
Authors:   Petrozavodsk State University, Klyukina Lyudmila A. , Balandin Daniil Yu. ,   Petrozavodsk State University
Published: January 2025

The reception of the philosophy of the 20th century German philosopher M. Heidegger in Russia cannot be imagined without the work of V. Bibikhin, who not only translated his texts, but created the basis for a dialogue between European modern thought and the Russian philosophical tradition of the 20th century. By combining the ideas of these two schools of thought, he developed his original ontological hermeneutics, in the context of which he examined the problems of Russian culture and Russian religiously oriented philosophy from a new angle. This paper focuses on a little-studied topic of the phenomenon of silence in culture, which the philosopher dealt with under the influence of the works of Heidegger. In this regard, the paper presents a comparative analysis of semantic content of the concept of silence in the philosophy of M. Heidegger and V. Bibikhin, as well as the results of a study of the meaning of Bibikhin’s concept of silence for understanding the a priori foundations of Russian culture. The object of the study was Heidegger’s texts on the functioning of language and silence in culture, and Bibikhin’s workss on this topic, written on the basis of materials from lectures he gave and published in collections of different years. During the analysis of Heidegger's works, the authors used the works of A.V. Mikhailovsky, E.Yu. Talalaeva, E.Yu. Fedotova, S.S. Horuzhy, M.S. Sasa. When interpreting certain provisions of Bibikhin's philosophy, they resorted to the texts of A.V. Akhutin, A.V. Magun, A.V. Mikhailovsky, S.S. Khoruzhy. The study comes to the following conclusions. Heidegger's phenomenon of silence expresses the fullness of meaning, and the language of poetry is the way of the presence of human existence in culture. Bibikhin’s concept of “silence” means a condition of meaning, that is, pointing to the mystical feeling of the invisible and unknowable God in culture. The language of religious philosophy is interpreted by him as a method of meaning-making, demiurgy, and the creativity of an unbiased living culture, through which the deification of man occurs. From Bibikhin’s point of view, the metaphysics of Russian culture lies in a special way of declaring transcendental meaning. Russian consciousness defines itself out of intentional relationship to the Other. Affection of the Other in Russian culture is presented in the form of contemplation of God in hesychasm and in the form of contemplation of the world as a whole, reflected in the language of Russian religious philosophy through the concepts of symbol, sobornost, and pan-unity.

Effect of Soaking Time on Compaction and Compressive Strength Performance of Hydrated Lime and Pond Ash Stabilized Modified Peat Soil
Authors: Md Yusof Zeety , Zainorabidin Adnan , Mustapa Siti Aishah
Published: January 2025

Construction designs on peat soil often lead to settlement due to its inability to support loads, necessitating soil stabilization. Pond Ash (PA) and hydrated lime (HL) are commonly used as activation agents to replace cement in soil stabilization. This study aims to investigate the impact of replacing a mixture of hydrated lime (HL) and pond ash (PA) on the mechanical and physical properties enhancement of peat soil. The reaction between lime and pond ash forms calcium silicate, which is responsible for developing the strength of compounds and is highly cost-effective. This study replaces a percentage of peat and the composition of HL and PA, with the aim of contributing to Malaysia’s green sustainability goals across industries by balancing economic expansion and environmental benefits. The percentage of PA content used remains constant at 5, 10, 15, and 20%, while HL is utilized at 3, 6, 9, and 12%. Samples were submerged for varying durations: 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 60, 90, 120, and 150 days. Results revealed that for untreated peat soil, the moisture content, degree of decomposition, loss of ignition, organic content, specific gravity, and pH ranged from 811-856%, H3-H6, 78.163%, 77.289%, 1.39, and 3.35-3.82, respectively. The optimum moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry density (MDD) were 20.346% and 0.616 mg/m3, respectively, according to the compaction test. The compaction test of peat treated with 9HL10PA yielded the highest MDD (0.71 mg/m3), while soil with 3HL10PA exhibited the lowest MDD (0.62 mg/m3). MDD increased and the OMC decreased with HL content. The resulting unconfined compressive strength (UCS) indicated that samples with lower PA content tended to achieve strength at 60 days and then decrease with further soaking. However, samples with 15 and 20% PA demonstrated more consistent improvement in strength. PA and HL in 2 months and three months show good performance, reaching maximum improvement compared with the native soil. This contributes to the use of the compaction and compressive strength method in geotechnical practices to address settlement issues.

One of the significant by products of Malaysia's industrial sector is the generation of solid waste that does not biodegrade. Coir, along with other by products of industrialisation such as plastic bags, PET bottles, and pulverised waste LDPE, must be disposed of in an appropriate manner. Utilising discarded items contributes to pollution prevention and resource conservation. A few researchers have investigated the possibility of recycling waste materials to lessen pollution and preserve important resources. An experiment revealed that replacing fine particles (sand) with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) negatively affects the compressive strength of concrete cement. To solve this issue, steel fibre was included as an additional component after it was applied. This study investigated a variety of ratios of LDPE substitution for fine aggregates. These ratios ranged from 0% to 15%, with increments of 5%. Following 7, 14, and 28 days, the density, compressive strength, and flexural strength of the concrete were measured and analysed. The findings showed that adding 15% LDPE to concrete cement made it less dense (1840 kg/m3) and weaker in its compressive strength (32.87 MPa) and flexural strength (4.627 MPa) at 28 days. Based on this, it has been determined that a combination consisting of a 5% substitution of LDPE and an additional 2% of steel fibre is the most effective combination for further research endeavours.

Published: January 2025

Pervious concrete is a sustainable solution for stormwater management, widely adopted in urban infrastructure for its ability to reduce runoff. However, the impact of using Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) as a partial cement replacement in pervious concrete has not been fully explored, particularly in relation to its mechanical properties. This study addresses the gap in understanding how POFA influences the compressive, flexural, and tensile strengths of pervious concrete. The objective of this research is to assess the mechanical performance of pervious concrete when 10% and 15% of the cement is replaced with POFA. An experimental approach was used, where concrete samples were tested at 7, 14, and 28 days following ASTM standards. The results show that while POFA improves the sustainability of the concrete, it leads to significant reductions in early compressive and tensile strength. However, the 15% POFA mix demonstrated improved long-term strength development compared to the 10% mix. The study concludes that while POFA holds potential as a sustainable alternative, further optimization is required to enhance mechanical performance in structural applications.

Published: January 2025

Under extreme environmental conditions, concrete is often damaged, ranging from cracking to destruction caused by corrosion of steel reinforcement. Damage caused by steel corrosion must be repaired immediately to prevent the wider spread of steel corrosion. This study carried out grouting, jacketing, and self-healing concrete repairs. Encapsulated Bacillus subtilis bacteria were used to make self-healing concrete. The specimen was a reinforced concrete (RC) beam measuring 62x15x15 cm damaged by steel corrosion. The reinforcement in the concrete was subjected to accelerated corrosion with mass loss (corrosion levels) of 20%, 25%, and 30%. The concrete beams were subjected to pre-cracked loading to produce cracks, which were then repaired. This study utilised resistivity, one of the NDT methods, as a parameter to measure the quality of reinforced concrete. Additionally, flexural strength was tested to evaluate the quality of the repair. The results indicated a decrease in resistivity and flexural strength as the corrosion level increased. Grouting and jacketing repairs showed a positive correlation between resistivity and flexural strength, whereas self-healing concrete exhibited a negative correlation. Resistivity testing on these repairs is limited, making this research crucial.
Model Predictive Control Based MPPT for Solar PV Application

Published: January 2025

This paper presents a study of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) based algorithms for solar-powered applications. Among the most used algorithms is the hill climbing MPPT which offers a simple and effective method that continuously adjusts the operating point to track the MPPT. Its significant advantage is its relatively simple algorithm structure and cost-effective implementation. However, the hill climbing method is not without any drawbacks. One notable limitation is its susceptibility to local maximum trapping where the algorithm locks onto a local maximum and fails to identify the true maximum point, leading to suboptimal performance and reduced energy harvest. Additionally, oscillations can occur, particularly when the step size is too large or when the environmental conditions fluctuate rapidly. These oscillations can diminish system efficiency and stability when used in a practical environment where conditions are more dynamic. Furthermore, hill climbing may exhibit inefficiency in certain scenarios such as partial shading or low-light conditions. Hence, a more sophisticated MPPT must be considered to accurately locate the true MPPT, resulting in increased energy extraction and robust against various environmental conditions. Here, a more complex controller such as model predictive control (MPC) is suggested to observe its capabilities in eliminating the stated shortcomings and other notable advantages compared to hill climbing MPPT. To implement MPC for solar MPPT, a mathematical model of the PV system is required which allows the algorithm to anticipate changes and adjust the operating point accordingly. The proposed system consists of a 200W boost converter and Phaesun Sun Plus 20 as the solar module. Comparative studies under static and dynamic operating conditions for different hill climbing categories such as perturb and observation (P&O), incremental conductance (INC), and incremental resistance (IR) show that MPC has better performance of power when considering a faster response, higher output, and lower oscillation. The analysis is validated through a laboratory prototype which is demonstrated using the Atmega2560 microcontroller (MCU) board.
Effect of Void in Mineral Aggregate (VMA) Value on Hot Asphalt Mixes for Heavy Traffic

Published: January 2025

VMA is an indicator of mixture performance, especially the flexibility and durability of the mixture, for this reason the asphalt content must be high. In contrast to the demands of heavy traffic, pavement must be strong and stable. To meet these needs, the mixture requires a low asphalt content, so this research will modify the asphalt mixture to meet all these needs by using the appropriate VMA value as the criterion. The VMA value consists of the effective asphalt content and the volume of voids in the mix (VIM). For this reason, it is necessary to pay attention to the asphalt content value that corresponds to the correct asphalt mixture gradation so as to produce a VMA value that is suitable for heavy traffic loads. This research will evaluate asphalt mixtures with a maximum aggregate size of 1.5 inches, specifically the combined aggregate gradation and effective asphalt content. High performance asphalt mixture properties, characterized by high Marshall stability and high flow, will be decided as the design mixture as long as the VMA value is met. The correct VMA value will describe the mixture as being within the limits of adequate flexibility and strength, thereby ensuring the durability of the mixture. Evaluation of laboratory tests with variations in the thickness of the asphalt aggregate cover for a maximum grain size of 1.5 inches resulted in quite significant differences in properties, especially Marshall stability and flow values. The results of the evaluation of the overall properties of the asphalt mixture for heavy traffic obtained a Marshall stability value = 3712 kg, VMA = 14.24%, VIM = 5.0% and VFA = 65.96% with an asphalt content of 5.2%.

Published: January 2025

This research aims to examine the effect of the area replacement ratio of the floating stone column on settlement behaviour. Soft soil can be particularly challenging in the construction industry due to its low load- bearing capacity, which means it cannot support heavy structures or loads and may settle over time when the soil consolidates under the weight of the structure. Most construction projects use end-bearing columns compared to floating stone columns due to the double-layered consolidation issue because it is hard to predict the settlement behaviour. This experimental investigation employed a small-scale unit cell model tank to investigate the influence area of a single column. To reach the objective, time vs. settlement laboratory tests were performed with the different area replacement ratios of the floating stone column as 10%, 15%, 23%, and 33% with a fixed length of 400 mm (end bearing column) and 240 mm (floating column) of the stone column and unreinforced clay (control sample) by applying uniform loading to determine the resulting settlement behaviour. This study revealed that increasing the area replacement ratio of the column decreased the settlement of the floating stone column. The settlement between the end bearing and floating stone column shows an insignificant difference. The experimental findings presented in this study contributed to the understanding of the settlement behavior of floating stone columns. This research is very useful in the geotechnical engineering industry, where ground improvement work in the form of a stone column is necessary.
Classification and Physical Characteristic Analysis of Fermi-GBM Gamma-Ray Bursts Based on Deep Learning
Authors: Chen Jia-Ming , Zhu Ke-Rui , Peng Zhao-Yang , Zhang Li
Published: January 2025

The classification of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has long been an unresolved problem. Early long- and short-burst classification based on duration is not convincing owing to the significant overlap in duration plot, which leads to different views on the classification results. We propose a new classification method based on convolutional neural networks and adopt a sample including 3774 GRBs observed by Fermi-GBM to address the T
90 overlap problem. By using count maps that incorporate both temporal and spectral features as inputs, we successfully classify 593 overlapping events into two distinct categories, thereby refuting the existence of an intermediate GRB class. Additionally, we apply the optimal model to extract features from the count maps and visualize the extracted GRB features using the t-SNE algorithm, discovering two distinct clusters corresponding to S-type and L-type GRBs. To further investigate the physical properties of these two types of bursts, we conduct a time-integrated spectral analysis and discover significant differences in their spectral characteristics. The analysis also shows that most GRBs associated with kilonovae belong to the S type, while those associated with supernovae are predominantly L type, with few exceptions. Additionally, the duration characteristics of short bursts with extended emission suggest that they may manifest as either L-type or S-type GRBs. Compared to traditional classification methods (Amati and energy–hardness–duration methods), the new approach demonstrates significant advantages in classification accuracy and robustness without relying on redshift observations. The deep learning classification strategy proposed in this paper provides a more reliable tool for future GRB research.
Challenges and opportunities for assessing trends of amphibians with heterogeneous data – a call for better metadata reporting

Published: January 2025

Over the last decades, the worldwide decline of amphibian populations has become a major concern of researchers and conservationists. Studies have reported a diversity of trends, with some species strongly declining, others remaining stable and still others increasing. However, only a few species have been monitored annually for a long period of time by specific monitoring programmes. Instead, there are many heterogeneous datasets that contain observations of amphibians from professional surveys as well as diverse citizen science and other voluntary surveys. The use of these data brings a number of challenges, raising concerns about their validity and use in ecological research and conservation. We assessed to what extent such heterogeneous occurrence data can provide information on the status and trends of amphibians by contrasting different approaches to overcoming challenges with the data, using the German state of Saxony as an example. We assessed the effects of data processing decisions to infer absences, the use of survey method information and the statistical model (generalised linear mixed-effect occurrence model [GLMM] versus occupancy-detection model) and compared the trends with expert opinions (Red Lists). The different data processing decisions mainly led to similar annual occupancy estimates, newts being an exception. Annual occupancy estimates were typically less certain when attempting to account for the effects of survey methods, which could be explained by many missing values on methods. Separate models for drift fence data reduced the uncertainty in the annual occurrence probability estimates of the GLMM models, but uncertainty remained high for occupancy-detection models. For both methods, strong peaks and troughs in the annual occupancy estimates occurred for several species, which were not biologically plausible. Some peaks align with periods of lower sampling effort and were probably caused by shifts in the sampling locations or target species amongst years. Only for three species (Bufotes viridis, Hyla arborea and Pelophylax esculentus) were the trend results consistent amongst approaches and with expert opinions. For most other species, some inconsistencies appeared amongst models or approaches, indicating that trend assessments are sensitive to analytical choices. While heterogeneous data have proved useful for other taxa, our results highlight the complexity of using them for amphibians. We strongly recommend better harmonisation of data collection and metadata documentation, including explicit absence data and, if available, abundance data, to enable more robust trend assessments in the future.

To address the increasing global issue of biological invasions adequate long-term monitoring data is crucial. Due to substantial resource requirements such continuous monitoring remains largely underdeveloped across many countries. In recent years, experiential knowledge of the public, or specific stakeholder groups, has become increasingly popular to gather species’ occurrence data. In the context of aquatic alien species recreational fishermen often represent a valuable stakeholder group. Using the case study of alien European flounder (Platichthys flesus, Linneaus, 1758) in Iceland, we explore the benefits of incorporating stakeholder observation-based information with traditionally obtained data on the occurrence and distribution of an alien fish. We compiled records of European flounder reported by the recreational fishing community both when directly approached with an anonymous online survey as well as via social media conversations applying the approach of iEcology. We then contrasted this data with a compilation of European flounder records from databases at the Icelandic Marine and Freshwater Research Institute (MFRI). Our results show that including stakeholder-observation based distribution data in the monitoring of alien species offers significant advantage. While all data sources indicated similar patterns in the spread and distribution of European flounder in Iceland, they differed in the number of unique sites provided as well as their geographic distribution. Combining sources therefore allows to counteract inherent biases present across diverse sources. Our study furthermore indicates that interest in voluntarily reporting European flounder sightings decreased over time, but reemerged when stakeholders and/or the public were presented with an easily accessible opportunity to share information in the form of an online survey. We recommend implementing a monitoring approach for alien species that incorporates diverse sources of information and provides clear venues to report information for the public, and where possible involve stakeholders throughout the entire research process to holistically address biological invasions.
Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of the Atrato slider, Trachemys medemi (Testudines, Emydidae)
Authors: Cuadrado-Ríos Sebastián , Vargas-Ramírez Mario , Kehlmaier Christian , Fritz Uwe
Published: January 2025

The mitochondrial genome of three Trachemys medemi was sequenced and annotated for the first time. The mitochondrial genome is a circular DNA molecule of 16,711–16,810 bp in size, with 60.9% AT content. It includes 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and the non-coding control region. The genome composition is characterized by a positive AT skew (0.123) and a negative GC skew (-0.342). Phylogenetic analyses based on complete mitogenomes, which lack some Trachemys species, placed T. medemi as sister to T. venusta. Phylogenies from the same dataset, but including available shorter mtDNA information for most Trachemys species, recovered T. medemi as sister to T. dorbigni, and this clade was sister to T. venusta, T. yaquia, and T. ornata. The newly obtained data are valuable for future mitogenomic investigations on Trachemys. Furthermore, our results underline the impact of incomplete taxon sampling.

Published: January 2025

Les collaborations entre start-ups et organisations établies représentent une dynamique essentielle de l’innovation ouverte, offrant un terrain fertile pour des opportunités mutuelles, mais générant aussi des défis stratégiques inédits. Ce cahier spécial examine en profondeur les multiples facettes de ces interactions en analysant les principaux processus d’innovation ouverte. Les articles retenus couvrent une pluralité de contextes, qu’il s’agisse des fintechs, du secteur hospitalier ou encore des start-ups issues du milieu académique, et mettent en lumière des mécanismes essentiels tels que la modulation de la distance cognitive, l’orchestration d’écosystèmes complexes ou encore la transformation des pratiques. En révélant comment ces collaborations favorisent non seulement l’apprentissage organisationnel, mais aussi la création de savoirs partagés et l’émergence de nouvelles institutions, ce cahier spécial propose une réflexion renouvelée sur les rôles des différents acteurs. Il invite également à explorer des pistes de recherche pour maximiser leur impact stratégique et renforcer les liens entre innovation et collaboration inter-organisationnelle.

Michael Drayton’s 1619 Folio: “Small Volume” and “Monument”
Authors: Chaix Rouchon Béatrice
Published: January 2025

The volume Poems by Michael Drayton Esquire, published in 1619, provides an original perspective on the nature of literary folios. Contrary to what is generally expected from a folio, Drayton defines his collection as a “small volume” in the dedication. This is perfectly coherent with the size of the book, a small folio (only 26 cm in height), and it also resembles a modesty topos. The humble posture is contradicted by Drayton himself however, when he wishes his book to remain as a “monument”, and by the complex set-up of the volume, which clearly manifests authorial ambitions and a sense of a poetic oeuvre in the making. This article argues that Drayton’s small but monumental folio represents a distinctive conception of poetic authorship, worth comparing with its contemporaries, Ben Jonson’s 1616 Workes and Shakespeare’s 1623 First Folio. The volume is characterized by a careful editorial construction, which relies on generic decorum and on the fashioning of a poetic identity.
Le commentaire en ligne muséal : un e‑lecte identifiable ?
Authors: Patin Stéphane
Published: January 2025

L’étude analyse les commentaires en ligne sur le Louvre et le Prado laissés sur la plateforme TripAdvisor, par les visiteurs francophones et hispanophones, entre 2009 et 2019, sous l’angle de la textométrie afin d’identifier si les caractéristiques saillantes de ce type de production écrite native du numérique constituent un genre discursif à part entière, celui du commentaire en ligne muséal. Ce principal objectif est complété par trois autres, en fonction de trois paramètres : la communauté linguistique des visiteurs, les musées en tant qu’objet culturel exo/endogène à la communauté donnée et la note donnée entre 1 et 5 par le visiteur dans TripAdvisor.
Enseigner la compilation et l’exploitation de corpus monolingues spécialisés pour la traduction : retour sur expériences et suggestions
Authors: Loock Rudy
Published: January 2025

Dans cet article, nous dressons un bilan critique de la formation à la compilation et à l’exploitation de corpus électroniques (que nous souhaitons renommer « bases de données linguistiques ») pour la traduction spécialisée, en nous concentrant particulièrement sur les corpus monolingues en langue spécialisée (domaine, mais aussi genre textuel), compilés pour la circonstance et exploités avec un concordancier dans le contexte d’un projet de traduction (corpus dits « DIY » pour Do‑It‑Yourself). À partir des résultats d’enquêtes de terrain relatives aux compétences acquises et à l’utilisation des outils de corpus dans le cadre de la vie professionnelle, et du constat que cette utilisation est loin d’être généralisée, nous formulons un certain nombre de propositions afin d’optimiser ce type d’enseignement avec notamment un repositionnement stratégique dans la façon dont les corpus électroniques sont présentés dans les formations universitaires aux métiers de la traduction. L’ensemble de ces réflexions s’appuie sur une expérience de dix années d’un enseignement consacré aux outils de corpus (compilation, exploitation, analyse) au sein d’une formation universitaire à la traduction spécialisée.
Pedagogía basada en el género y análisis de corpus como estrategias didácticas para mejorar la escritura de tesis utilizando una herramienta computacional de escritura (PEUMO)
Authors: Cerda-Canales Constanza , Venegas Velásquez René
Published: January 2025

La pedagogía basada en el género (PBG) considera relevante el reconocimiento y explicitación de los movimientos retóricos de los géneros discursivos. Por esta razón ha adquirido especial relevancia en los procesos de alfabetización académica. Para identificar los patrones de un género se hace necesario contar con muestras de texto representativas, lo que ha permitido establecer un vínculo provechoso entre la PBG y la lingüística de corpus (LC). Sin embargo, existen escasas propuestas de alfabetización académica en las que se combinen los enfoques mencionados, así como también escasas herramientas computacionales que apoyen la alfabetización académica desde estas aproximaciones. El objetivo de esta investigación es validar una intervención didáctica basada en PBG y LC para guiar la redacción de tesis en estudiantes de ingeniería, con apoyo computacional de la herramienta PEUMO. La investigación incluye tres etapas: pretest, intervención y post‑test. Durante la etapa de intervención se realizaron 6 sesiones de 70 minutos una vez por semana. El grupo control se basa en una enseñanza tradicional de alfabetización académica y el grupo experimental se basa en una enseñanza con enfoque de corpus y PBG, utilizando una herramienta computacional, denominada PEUMO. Se observa una valoración positiva en ambos grupos, aunque con un mayor reconocimiento en el grupo experimental, esto es, con la propuesta de alfabetización académica que integra PBG, LC y el apoyo de herramientas computacionales.
Addressing Gender Diversity in the Cybersecurity Profession to Enhance Business Value
Authors: Da Veiga Adéle
Published: January 2025

Businesses require a skilled workforce to define and implement innovative digital solutions and to protect them from incidents and cyber-attack. However, a major cybersecurity skills gap exists globally, with a significant underrepresentation of women in the profession. This chapter provides an overview of the barriers women experience and proposed interventions to enter and progress in the cybersecurity profession. The chapter concludes with the Cybersecurity for Women (CybSec4W) framework and checklist to foster a culture where women can enter and advance in the cybersecurity workforce, whilst incorporating the requisite organisation theory. Management can implement the framework with the outlined interventions to attract, retain, create and support a conducive and equitable culture in the organisation's cybersecurity workspace to enable a strong capability to become cyber resilient, which will benefit the adoption of digital technologies for business growth.
