“Long Live Freedom!”: Digital Communication of Argentina’s Emerging Libertarian Populism
Authors: Tarullo Raquel , Fenoll Vicente
Published: November 2023

Social networks have become the ideal platform for populist leaders to directly engage with their followers, facilitating the dissemination of polarizing narratives. Populist actors have gained electoral momentum in different parts of the world by importing populist content from diverse national contexts. Argentina’s legislative elections in 2021 are a case in point. The main objective of this study is to examine the communication strategy employed by Javier Milei, an anarcho-capitalist politician, on Instagram during this electoral campaign. Through a quantitative content analysis, we identify the thematic and populist elements present in Milei’s Instagram posts. Our findings reveal a new style of ‘libertarian’ populism, which employs discursive components previously used by populist parties from various ideologies and the strategic alignment of political communication with opportunistic themes and contextual dynamics. Milei focuses on positioning himself as the leader of the electoral campaign, with minimal emphasis on concrete policy proposals. His populist strategy revolves around attacking ideological adversaries (such as communism and feminism) and denouncing the corrupt political ‘caste’. Unlike other rightwing populist politicians, Milei’s discourse does not particularly focus on the issue of immigration.
METHODOLOGICAL GUIDELINES FOR A RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARDS WESTERN THOUGHT
Authors: Adilović Zuhdija
Published: November 2023

Domination of Western Civilization globally presents a great problem for small nations and cultural communities. That problem is especially noticeable in the light of globalization when many peoples and nations almost completely lose their identity.
The formula of success many people are aware of today is to remain devoted to one’s own tradition and culture, and to acquire positive streams of contemporary times. However, the answer to the question how to achieve that in a quality manner, so that it is not detrimental to either of the components, is not yet completely defined. One of important segments of academic work is scientific-research work that has its own methodology. Unfortunately, as in other segments of life, western concept is the one that dominates. It is a rarity today to find Muslim researchers that manage to adopt positive aspects of the methodology and to liberate themselves from its colouration by Western view that is contrary to Islamic view.
The aim of this paper is to specify broad methodological guidelines that will help Muslim researchers in the field of their faith, so that they remain on the right path, and accept scientific methodology of research at the same time.
When Islam is concerned, it is based on the fact that everything in terms of faith defined by the Qur’an and the authentic hadith is the bare truth that cannot be doubted in any case and that cannot be outdated ; regardless if it is related to ghaib (metaphysics), as the matter of the Divinity, hereafter and the origin of man, or to general postulates as the perfection of Islam and its foundation on oneness of the Creator (tawheed), or to disrupting one’s belief (iman) by following some other faiths apart from Islam, etc.
And when Western thought is concerned, its philosophical and religious conceptions, moral values, cognitive and social systems, it is a result of human effort and by that it is subject to correctness and mistake. Nevertheless, the fact that it was developed without any connection to the true faith, due to various social and civilization movements of unbelieving peoples, does not mean that it is completely inaccurate and that is has to be dismissed automatically.

THE BOSNIAKS AND HADITH STUDIES IN THE OTTOMAN PERIOD
Authors: Kurdić Šefik
Published: November 2023

It is a rarity to find Islamic studies whose development and profiling was not significantly contributed by the Bosniaks. Even though scientific-research efforts of the Bosniaks in the field of Hadith seem an insignificant part of the entire scientific-theoretical experience of the Muslim world in general, it still represents significant contribution to that experience.
This paper tries to enlighten the Bosniaks’ engagement in the field of Hadith and disciplines of Hadith in the Ottoman period. It proves that the Bosniaks, although a small ethnic group, were not lagging behind other peoples in the period of Ottoman rule, in terms of their interest for Islamic disciplines, particularly Hadith, its preservation and passing it on to generations that were to come.
Key words: hadith, hadith studies, the Bosniaks, the Ottoman period
THE PROBLEM OF ADDICTION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF QUR`ANIC ANTROPOLOGY
Authors: Halilović Safvet
Published: November 2023

According to the teaching of the Qur`an, Islam is, primarily, obedience to Allah and voluntary subordination to His will and regulations. The Qur`an points out that all the unpleasant things which man experiences in his life are results of his misdoings, which are as such, inconsistent with Allah's order and the laws prescribed by Him. Islamic injunctions and regulations are designed in such a way that as long as man fulfils them regularly and properly, that will bring him spiritual peace, stability and internal contentment. Islam offers such a concept of life whereby man, by living in agreement with Islamic principles, affirms himself as sound, creative and balanced creature, adorned with high moral qualities. It is well known that Islam demands from its followers to perform salat. All Islamic scholars agree that salat is one of the fundamental and most important obligations. Through continuous performance of salat man continually refreshes contact with his Creator, and the frequency of Salat times is aimed at helping him to not ever forget the purpose and main task of his life in the whirlpool of the mundane movements and activities. The other Islamic injunctions, like fasting, zakat, hajj, concept of remembrance of Allah, supplications and glorification of Allah, have unified objective and that is to form a healthy and balanced person, which will be aware of its mission in life and which will not allow itself to become a slave of dissolute passions or any other vices which harm human health and life.
Consequently, sincere belief in One God, Allah, the way Islam enjoins, represents a powerful means in man's endeavour to achieve a complete liberation from all kinds of alienation and addiction. The one who earnestly believe in One and the only God, Allah, and keeps contact with Him through observance of salat five times a day, along with observance of other duties instituted on the basis of the Revelation of Allah and the sunnah of His Prophet, has no need to resort to any kind of intoxicant means which transform man into an addict. In case a man has already fallen into that condition, Qur`an teaches that the door of tawbah (repentance) is widely open, and in that situation the fundamental Islamic duties are still of essential significance in the treatment of addicts, because Islam is, in fact, the way towards real humanization of man and his liberation from all kinds of additions and slavery.

SOME CONSTRAINTS ON PASSIVE ATTRIBUTES AND PROBLEMS OF CATEGORIZATION
Authors: Arnaut-Karović Kamiah
Published: November 2023

It has been noted that without the appropriate adverbial modification some passive participles are not acceptable in the attributive position in English: e.g. *a found suitcase, *a killed young man, *a built apartment block, as opposed to some passive participles that are not subject to this restriction: e.g. an abandoned village, a complicated man, the needed discipline.
The assumption that identification of categorial status can be better seen at the level of larger constituents, has led us to propose some distributional diagnostic tests to confirm whether they retain their verbal force or have achieved their adjectival status in English, when used in the attributive position. Since their morphological form has not proved to be reliable for identification of their category, we have proposed to test them by classifying the types of adverbs enabling some of the passive participles to be used attributively. Given that the same adverbs can modify both, adjectives and verbs, we have focused on the classification of degree adverbs pre-modifying passive participles attributively used. The tests proposed in this paper may show that the open class degree adverbs that modify passive participles in both, attributive and predicative distribution do not fall into the single class but split up into the subclasses: degree adverbs/intensifiers and adverbs of measure/quantity modifying passive participles in attributive and predicative function, respectively. Since passive participles, too, may have different interpretation and either adjectival or verbal/passive reading when used as attributes, the open class degree adverbs are tested at the level of participial phrase used attributively within the NP. The examples were compared with the translation equivalents in BCS to see whether the same constraint affects passive attributes in BCS.

Published: November 2023

O hemangiossarcoma cutâneo é uma neoplasia maligna que se origina do crescimento anormal das células endoteliais dos vasos sanguíneos na pele de cães. É mais comumente diagnosticado em cães de idade avançada, especialmente em raças como Pitbull, Pastor Alemão e Golden Retriever. A exposição excessiva à radiação solar é um fator de risco significativo, principalmente em cães com pele pouco pigmentada e pelos curtos. Este estudo relata o caso de um cão macho de sete anos de idade que apresentou múltiplas massas avermelhadas na pele, incluindo uma lesão ulcerada próxima ao prepúcio. Através da análise histopatológica, foi confirmado o diagnóstico de hemangiossarcoma cutâneo do tipo actínico. O tratamento cirúrgico com remoção das massas tumorais e amplas margens cirúrgicas foi realizado com sucesso. Embora a quimioterapia seja uma opção terapêutica adicional, os tutores optaram por um acompanhamento paliativo com exames regulares e cirurgias de remoção de novas massas, se necessário.  A conscientização sobre os fatores de risco, como exposição solar excessiva, e a adoção de medidas preventivas são fundamentais na prevenção e manejo dessa neoplasia cutânea em cães. O diagnóstico precoce, a cirurgia com margens amplas e a abordagem terapêutica adequada são essenciais para aumentar as chances de sobrevida e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos animais afetados. O acompanhamento regular e o monitoramento contínuo são recomendados, mesmo no caso do subtipo menos agressivo, para detectar qualquer progressão da doença e garantir a melhor assistência ao paciente.
Quantum mechanics as a theory that is consistent with the existence of God
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo, Oslo. Norway, Helland Inge Svein
Published: November 2023

I sketch the foundation of quantum mechanics as it is presented in various books and articles. Then a new approach to quantum foundation is described, a foundation that relies on 4 simple postulates related to the mind of an observer or to the joint minds of a group of communicating observers. One of these postulates may appear to be strong, but it turns out to be more natural when it is placed in a religious setting. This assumes the existence of an omnipotent God. These arguments are further discussed, and they are shown also to give a foundation of Quantum Decision Theory.
Boundary of nighttime ozone chemical equilibrium in the mesopause region: long-term evolution determined using 20-year satellite observations

Published: November 2023

Abstract. The assumption of nighttime ozone chemical equilibrium (NOCE) is widely employed for retrieving the Ox-HOx components in the mesopause from rocket and satellite measurements. In this work, the recently developed analytical criterion of determining the NOCE boundary is used (i) to study the connection of this boundary with O and H spatiotemporal variability based on 3D modeling of chemical transport and (ii) to retrieve and analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of the NOCE boundary in 2002–2021 from the SABER/TIMED dataset. It was revealed, first, that the NOCE boundary reproduces well the transition zone dividing deep and weak photochemical oscillations of O and H caused by the diurnal variations of solar radiation. Second, the NOCE boundary is sensitive to sporadic abrupt changes in the middle-atmosphere dynamics, in particular due to powerful sudden stratospheric warmings leading to the events of an elevated (up to ∼ 80 km) stratopause, which took place in January–March 2004, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2018, and 2019. Third, the space–time evolution of this characteristic expressed via pressure altitude contains a clear signal of an 11-year solar cycle in the 55∘ S–55∘ N range. In particular, the mean annual NOCE boundary averaged in this range of latitudes anticorrelates well with the F10.7 index with the coefficient of −0.95. Moreover, it shows a weak linear trend of 56.2±42.2 m per decade.
Observation of horizontal temperature variations by a spatial heterodyne interferometer using single-sided interferograms

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Analyses of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere suffer from a lack of global measurements. This is problematic because this region has a complex dynamic structure, with gravity waves playing an important role. A limb-sounding spatial heterodyne interferometer (SHI) was developed to obtain atmospheric temperature retrieved from the O2 A-band emission, which can be used to derive gravity wave parameters in this region. The 2-D spatial distribution of the atmospheric scene is captured by a focal plane array. The SHI superimposes the spectral information onto the horizontal axis across the line-of-sight (LOS). In the usual case, the instrument exploits the horizontal axis to obtain spectral information and uses the vertical axis to get spatial information, i.e. temperature observations at the corresponding tangent points. This results in a finely resolved 1-D vertical atmospheric temperature profile. However, this method does not make use of the horizontal across-LOS information contained in the data. In this paper a new processing method is investigated, which uses single-sided interferograms to gain horizontal across-LOS information about the observed temperature field. Hereby, the interferogram is split, and each side is mirrored at the centre of the horizontal axis. Each side can then be used to retrieve an individual 1-D temperature profile. The location of the two retrieved temperature profiles is analysed using prescribed horizontal temperature variations, as it is needed for deriving wave parameters. We show that it is feasible to derive two independent temperature profiles, which however will increase the requirements of an accurate calibration and processing.
Short communication: Resolving the discrepancy between U–Pb age estimates for the ‘Likhall’ zircon bed, a key level in the Ordovician timescale
Authors: Paul André Navin , Lindskog Anders , Schaltegger Urs
Published: November 2023

Abstract. The ‘Likhall’ zircon bed is a rare case of a single-age zircon population from a carbonate rock, which in this case is contextualised with remarkable biotic and environmental changes as well as meteorite bombardment of Earth after an asteroid breakup in space. Published chemical-abrasion, high-precision isotope-dilution, thermal ionization mass spectrometry (CA-ID-TIMS) U–Pb age estimates disagree at the typical precision of <0.1 % for a 206Pb/238U date, which has led to discrepancies in the interpretation of the timing of events and their possible cause–effect relationships. We evaluate here the relative strengths and weaknesses, and discrepancies in the so far published datasets, propose strategies to overcome them and present a new U-Pb dataset with improved precision and accuracy. Ultimately, we find that domains of residual Pb-loss are a significant source of age-offset between previously published data, amplified by differences in data evaluation strategies. Our new dataset benefits from an improved chemical abrasion protocol resulting in a more complete mitigation of decay-damage induced grain portions, and points to a weighted mean age estimate of 466.37±0.14/0.18/0.53 Ma for the ‘Likhall’ zircon population. This age is intermediate between previous estimates, but outside of analytical uncertainty, and provides a firm tie point for the Ordovician timescale.
Technical note: Wellbore water volume computation of tracer test in numerical modelling in a confined aquifer
Authors: Gan Yiqun , Wang Quanrong
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Computation of the water volume in the operational wellbore is a critical for numerical modeling of dissolved substances movement during aquifer remediation or tracer test in a confined aquifer, which affects the concentration variation, especially in the early stage of the test. In a confined aquifer, the water level is higher than the aquifer top elevation, and the water volume of the aquifer is controlled by the volume of aquifer when ignoring the water compressibility. We found that the wellbore was also treated to be confined in the numerical modeling of tracer test in a wellbore-confined aquifer system. As a result, the wellbore water volume is computed by the aquifer thickness instead of wellbore water level, such as the software package of MODFLOW/MT3DMS, which is incorrect. Actually, the wellbore is open to the air in the confined aquifer, and it is unconfined. In this study, a 3D reactive transport model is revised based on the mass balance in a well-aquifer system with special attention given to the wellbore water volume. The accuracy of new model is tested against benchmark analytical solutions. The results show that previous models may cause significant errors in both aquifer and wellbore for tests with injection wells. As for tests with extraction wells, the error is obvious in the wellbore, but not in the aquifer. Specifically, previous models overestimate the concentration of solute in both aquifer and wellbore under the injection well test case, while it underestimates the concentration in the extraction well test case. The revised model could increase the accuracy of reactive transport modeling in aquifer remediation through the wellbore.

Abstract. The introduction of innovative technologies in agriculture is key not only to improving the efficiency of agricultural production and crop yields and quality but also to balancing energy use and preserving a cleaner environment. Biopreparations are environmentally friendly means of restoring the vitality of the soil in which plants can thrive. Biopreparations have an impact on soil health and alter greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different biopreparations on soil porosity, temperature, and CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions from the soil in northeast Europe (Lithuania) when growing winter wheat and oilseed rape. The experimental studies were carried out over 3 years, and each spring, after the resumption of winter crops, the soil surface was sprayed with biopreparations of different properties or with mixtures of biopreparations under seven scenarios, with one scenario left as a control. Soil porosity, temperature, and CO2 emissions from the soil were measured regularly every month from April to August. The application of the biopreparations showed a cumulative effect on the soil properties. In the third year of the study, the total porosity of the soil was higher in all scenarios compared to the control, ranging between 51 % and 74 %. The aeration porosity of the soil was also higher in all years of the study than in the control, although no significant differences were obtained. The results of the studies on CO2 emissions from the soil showed that, in the first year, the application of the biopreparations increased emissions compared to the control. However, when assessing the cumulative effect of the biopreparations on soil respiration intensity, it was found that, in the third year, most of the biopreparations led to a reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the control. The lowest emissions were achieved with the biopreparations consisting of essential oils of plants, 40 species of various herbs extracts, marine algae extracts, Azospirillum sp., Frateuria aurentia, Bacillus megaterium, mineral oils, Azotobacter vinelandi, humic acid, gibberellic acid, sodium molybdate, Azototbacter chroococcum, Azospirillum brasilense, etc. Evaluating the effectiveness of biopreparations on soil porosity, temperature, and CO2 emissions from the soil, it can be stated that the best effect was achieved in all 3 research years in using biopreparations with Azotobacter chroococcum, Azotospirilum brasilense, various herbs, marine algae extracts, oils of plants, and mineral substances. The multiple-regression model showed that soil temperature has a greater influence on the variation of CO2 emissions than soil aeration porosity.
Monitoring, reporting, and verification for ocean alkalinity enhancement

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) refers to the multistep process of monitoring the amount of greenhouse gas removed by a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) activity and reporting the results of the monitoring to a third party. The third party then verifies the reporting of the results. While MRV is usually conducted in pursuit of certification in a voluntary or regulated CDR market, this chapter focuses on key recommendations for MRV relevant to ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) research. Early stage MRV for OAE research may become the foundation on which markets are built. Therefore, such research carries a special obligation toward comprehensiveness, reproducibility, and transparency. Observational approaches during field trials should aim to quantify the delivery of alkalinity to seawater and monitor for secondary precipitation, biotic calcification, and other ecosystem changes that can feed back on sources or sinks of greenhouse gases where alkalinity is measurably elevated. Observations of resultant shifts in the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and ocean pH can help determine the efficacy of OAE and are amenable to autonomous monitoring. However, because the ocean is turbulent and energetic and CO2 equilibration between the ocean and atmosphere can take several months or longer, added alkalinity will be diluted to perturbation levels undetectable above background variability on timescales relevant for MRV. Therefore, comprehensive quantification of carbon removal via OAE will be impossible through observational methods alone, and numerical simulations will be required. The development of fit-for-purpose models, carefully validated against observational data, will be a critical part of MRV for OAE.

Abstract. Recent concern about the consequences of continuing increases in atmospheric CO2 as a key heat-trapping agent (Wuebbles et al., 2017; Masson-Delmotte et al., 2021) has prompted ocean experts to come together to discuss how to provide science-based solutions. Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is being considered not only as an ocean carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approach but also as a potential way to mitigate ocean acidification. Over the last 2 decades, inter-laboratory comparisons have proven valuable in evaluating the reliability of methodologies associated with sampling and analysis of carbonate chemistry parameters, which have been routinely used in ocean acidification research. Given the complexity of processes and mechanisms related to ecosystem responses to OAE, consolidating protocols to ensure compatibility across studies is fundamental for synthesis and upscaling analysis. This chapter provides an overview of best practice in OAE laboratory experimentation and facilitates awareness of the importance of applying standardized methods to promote data re-use, inter-lab comparisons, meta-analysis and transparency. This chapter provides the reader with the tools to (1) identify the criteria to achieve the best laboratory practice and experimental design, (2) provide guidance on the selection of response variables for various purposes (physiological, biogeochemical, ecological, evolutionary) for inter-lab comparisons, (3) offer recommendation for a minimum set of variables that should be sampled and propose additional variables critical for different types of synthesis and upscaling, and (4) identify protocols for standardized measurements of response variables. Key recommendations include ensuring reproducibility through appropriate experimental design and replication, assessing alkalinity thresholds for secondary precipitates for each experimental approach and condition, using recommended targets of alkalinity (3000–4000 µmol kg−1) and levels exceeding these concentrations to mimic responses at the site of deployment/non-equilibrium and to use intermediate alkalinity levels to identify potential nonlinear responses, and establishing the appropriate experimental design to address questions at specific levels of organization (chemical, physiological, molecular) and assuming different scenarios (e.g., mimicking impacts at the site of deployment in a non-equilibrated system versus steady-state scenarios in an equilibrated system).
Mesocosm experiments in ocean alkalinity enhancement research

Published: November 2023

Abstract. An essential prerequisite for the implementation of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) applications is their environmental safety. Only if it can be ensured that ecosystem health and ecosystem services are not at risk will the implementation of OAE move forward. Public opinion on OAE strategies will depend first and foremost on reliable evidence that no harm will be done to marine ecosystems, and licensing authorities will demand measurable criteria against which environmental sustainability can be determined. In this context mesocosm experiments represent a highly valuable tool in determining the safe operating space of OAE applications. By combining biological complexity with controllability and replication, they provide an ideal OAE test bed and a critical stepping stone towards field applications. Mesocosm approaches can also be helpful in testing the efficacy, efficiency and permanence of OAE applications. This chapter outlines strengths and weaknesses of mesocosm approaches, illustrates mesocosm facilities and suitable experimental designs presently employed in OAE research, describes critical steps in mesocosm operation, and discusses possible approaches for alkalinity manipulation and monitoring. Building on a general treatise on each of these aspects, the chapter describes pelagic and benthic mesocosm approaches separately, given their inherent differences. The chapter concludes with recommendations for best practices in OAE-related mesocosm research.

Abstract. The deliberate increase in ocean alkalinity (referred to as ocean alkalinity enhancement, or OAE) has been proposed as a method for removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Before OAE can be implemented safely, efficiently, and at scale several research questions have to be addressed, including (1) which alkaline feedstocks are best suited and the doses in which they can be added safely, (2) how net carbon uptake can be measured and verified, and (3) what the potential ecosystem impacts are. These research questions cannot be addressed by direct observation alone but will require skilful and fit-for-purpose models. This article provides an overview of the most relevant modelling tools, including turbulence-, regional-, and global-scale biogeochemical models and techniques including approaches for model validation, data assimilation, and uncertainty estimation. Typical biogeochemical model assumptions and their limitations are discussed in the context of OAE research, which leads to an identification of further development needs to make models more applicable to OAE research questions. A description of typical steps in model validation is followed by proposed minimum criteria for what constitutes a model that is fit for its intended purpose. After providing an overview of approaches for sound integration of models and observations via data assimilation, the application of observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) for observing system design is described within the context of OAE research. Criteria for model validation and intercomparison studies are presented. The article concludes with a summary of recommendations and potential pitfalls to be avoided.
Mesoscale weather systems and associated potential wind power variations in a mid-latitude sea strait (Kattegat)

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Mesoscale weather systems cause spatiotemporal variability in offshore wind power and insight in their fluctuations can support grid operations. In this study, a 10-year model integration with the kilometre-scale atmospheric model COSMO-CLM served a wind and potential power fluctuation analysis in the Kattegat, a mid-latitude sea strait of 130 km width with an irregular coastline. The model agrees well with scatterometer data away from coasts and small islands, with a spatiotemporal root mean square difference of 1.35 m/s. A comparison of 10 minute wind speed at about 100 metre with lidar data for a 2 year period reveals a very good performance with a slight model overestimation of 0.08 m/s and a high value for the Perkins Skill Score (0.97). From periodograms made using the Welch method it was found that the wind speed variability on a sub-hourly timescale is higher in winter compared to summer. In contrast, the wind power varies more in summer when winds often drop below the rated power threshold. During winter, variability is largest in the northeastern part of the Kattegat due to a spatial spin up of convective systems over the sea during the predominant southwesterly winds. Summer convective systems are found to develop over land, driving spatial variability in offshore winds during this season. On average over the 10 summers the mesoscale wind speeds are up to 20 % larger than the synoptic background at 17 h UTC with a clear diurnal cycle. The winter averaged mesoscale wind component is up to 10 % larger with negligible daily variation. Products with a lower resolution like ERA5 substantially underestimate this ratio between the mesoscale and synoptic wind speed. Moreover, taking into account mesoscale spatial variability is important for correctly representing temporal variability of power production. The root mean square difference between two power output time series, one ignoring and one accounting for mesoscale spatial variability, is 14 % of the total power generation.

The relationship of cirrus clouds and areas of increased relative humidity in the upper troposphere with symmetric instability developing on the subtropical (anticyclonic) side of jet streams are explored. Theoretical arguments are supplemented by case studies related to the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Using satellite images of cirrus clouds and reanalysis data, the values of the vertical eddy viscosity, which compensates for the inviscid growth of disturbances in case of symmetric instability, are estimated. At the levels of 250 and 200 hPa, a significant correlation between high relative humidity and potential vorticity characteristic of symmetric instability is confirmed.

The paper aims to put forward and check the hypothesis that interannual variations in the monthly means of sea ice thickness and concentration in the Kara Sea gulfs from November to March can be significantly influenced by variations in their sea levels. Some areas of the Gulf of Ob, Yenisei, Baidarata and Gydan gulfs are considered. The areas where such influence was really observed in 1993-2019 are identified. It is suggested that with further warming of the Arctic climate, the total extent of such areas will grow, and consideration of the revealed relationships will provide more precise prediction of changes in ice and navigation conditions in these gulfs.

Results of the analysis of wildfires in Russian regions using satellite data for 2000-2021 are presented. The results indicate a predominant increase in the number of intense fires in Russia, which has been especially noticeable in recent years. Using reanalysis data, a significant correlation between wildfires in Russia and atmospheric blocking has been revealed. An integral blockings index, whose value can reach and exceed 10% for fire seasons in Russian regions from April to October, was used to characterize atmospheric blocking. It has been found that an increase in the integral blockings index by 1% corresponds to an increase in the number of forest fires in Russia by 14%. According to the estimates, the contribution to the variance of interannual change in the number of wildfires associated with atmospheric blockings reaches ~40%.
Identifying changes to placental gene expression in pregnancies with a small for gestational age infant
Authors:   , O'Callaghan Jessica
Published: November 2023

Small-for-gestational-age infants are born full-term, weighing less than a healthy fetal weight. Due to this, these babies have a life-long increased risk of developing health issues. Understanding how these babies grow and develop in utero allows us to identify these infants earlier and potentially develop treatments. This thesis examined the human placenta, the organ responsible for fetal growth during pregnancy, to understand the contribution of this organ to fetal size. Specifically, this work explored the genetic profile of the placenta from pregnancies where the infant was small and identified key pathways that are dysregulated in placental-mediated reduced infant growth.

Since the possibilities of innovative education in the formation of the ecological culture of students are not used to the full extent at their sufficient level in the educational process, the contradictions between the need to form the ecological culture of students and the insufficient elaboration of theory and practice are clearly visible. Therefore, one of the ways to form the ecological culture of students on the basis of nature protection is the preparation of a methodology, the expansion and deepening of general theoretical research in pedagogy devoted to this problem. The article analyzes the concept of ecological culture from a pedagogical point of view, clarifies the features of the issue under consideration, identifies ecological culture of students,as well as the features of the organization of the process of forming the ecological culture of students with the help of innovative teaching technologies in biology lessons. The volumes, performance indicators and levels of formation of the ecological culture of students with the help of innovative teaching technologies in biology lessons when creating an integrated system for the formation of ecological culture of students using innovative teaching technologies were determined and its effectiveness was proved.
