Testing the sensitivity of the CAESAR-Lisflood landscape evolution model to grid cell size
Authors: Skinner Christopher J. , Coulthard Thomas J.
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Landscape evolution models (LEMs) are useful for understanding how large-scale processes and perturbations influence the development of the surface of the Earth and other planets. With their increasing sophistication and improvements in computational power, they are finding greater uptake in analyses at finer spatial and temporal scales. For many LEMs, the land surface is represented by a grid of regularly spaced and sized grid cells, or pixels, referred to as a digital elevation model (DEM), yet despite the importance of the DEM to LEM studies, there has been little work to understand the influence of grid cell size (i.e. resolution) on model behaviour. This is despite the choice of grid cell size being arbitrary for many studies, with users needing to balance detail with computational efficiency. Using the Morris method (MM) for global sensitivity analysis, the sensitivity of the CAESAR-Lisflood LEM to the grid cell size is evaluated relative to a set of influential user-defined parameters, showing that it had a similar level of influence as a key hydrological parameter and the choice of sediment transport law. Outputs relating to discharge and sediment yields remained stable across different grid cell sizes until the cells became so large that the representation of the hydrological network degraded. Although total sediment yields remained steady when changing the grid cell sizes, closer analysis revealed that using a coarser grid resulted in it being built up from fewer yet more geomorphically active events, risking outputs that are “the right answer but for the wrong reasons”. These results are important considerations for modellers using LEMs and the methodologies detailed provide solutions to understanding the impacts of modelling choices on outputs.
Recalibration of a three-dimensional water quality model with a newly developed autocalibration toolkit (EFDC-ACT v1.0.0): how much improvement will be achieved with a wider hydrological variability?
Authors: Zhang Chen , Fu Tianyu
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Autocalibration techniques have the potential to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of intricate process-based hydrodynamic and water quality models. In this study, we developed a new R-based autocalibration toolkit for the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) and implemented it into the recalibration of the Yuqiao Reservoir Water Quality Model (YRWQM), with long-term observations from 2006 to 2015, including dry, normal, and wet years. The autocalibration toolkit facilitated recalibration and contributed to exploring how a model recalibrated with long-term observations performs more accurately and robustly. Previously, the original YRWQM was calibrated and validated with observations of dry years in 2006 and 2007, respectively. Compared to the original YRWQM, the recalibrated YRWQM performed just as well in water surface elevation, with a Kling–Gupta efficiency (KGE) of 0.99, and water temperature, with a KGE of 0.91, while performing better in modeling total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll a (Chl a), and dissolved oxygen (DO), with KGEs of 0.10, 0.30, and 0.74, respectively. Furthermore, the KGEs improved by 43 %–202 % in modeling the TP–Chl a–DO process when compared to the models calibrated with only dry, normal, and wet years. The model calibrated in dry years overestimated DO concentrations, probably explained by the parameter of algal growth rate that increased by 84 %. The
model calibrated in wet years performed poorly for Chl a, due to a 50 %
reduction in the carbon-to-chlorophyll ratio, probably triggered by changes
in the composition of the algal population. Our study suggests that calibrating process-based hydrodynamic and water quality models with long-term observations may be an important measure to improve the robustness of models under severe hydrological variability. The newly developed general automatic calibration toolkit and a possible hierarchical autocalibration strategy will also be a powerful tool for future complex model calibration.
An integrated modeling approach to evaluate the impacts of nature-based solutions of flood mitigation across a small watershed in the southeast United States
Authors: Guido Betina I. , Popescu Ioana , Samadi Vidya , Bhattacharya Biswa
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Floods are among the most destructive natural hazards in
the world, posing numerous risks to societies and economies globally.
Accurately understanding and modeling floods driven by extreme rainfall
events has long been a challenging task in the domains of hydrologic science and engineering. Unusual catchment responses to flooding cause great difficulty in predicting the variability and magnitude of floods, as well as proposing solutions to manage large volumes of overland flow. The usage of nature-based solutions (NBSs) has proved to be effective in the mitigation of
flood peak rate and volume in urban or coastal areas, yet it is still not
widely implemented due to limited knowledge and testing compared to
traditional engineering solutions. This research examined an integrated
hydrological and hydraulic modeling system to understand the response of an
at-risk watershed system to flooding and evaluate the efficacy of NBS
measures. Using the Hydrologic Engineering Center Hydrologic Modeling System
and River Analysis System (HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS) software, an integrated
hydrologic–hydraulic model was developed for Hurricane Matthew- (2016) and
Florence-driven (2018) floods across the Little Pee Dee–Lumber River
watershed, North and South Carolina (the Carolinas), US. The focus was on
Nichols, a small town that has disproportionately been impacted by
flooding during these two hurricane events. The present article proposes a methodology for selecting, modeling, and
evaluating the performance of NBS measures within a catchment, which can be
extended to other case studies. Different NBS measures, including flood
storage ponds, riparian reforestation, and afforestation in croplands, were
designed, modeled, and evaluated. Hurricane Matthew's flooding event was
used for evaluating the NBS scenarios given its high simulation accuracy in
flood inundation compared to the less accurate results obtained for
Hurricane Florence. The scenario comparison evidenced that large-scale
natural interventions, such as afforestation in croplands, can reduce the
inundated area in Nichols by 8 % to 18 %. On the contrary, the
smaller-scale interventions such as riparian reforestation and flood storage ponds showed a negligible effect of only 1 % on flood mitigation.
Notes on the distribution and habitat use of marmosets (Callitrichidae:Mico) from south-central Amazonia
Authors: Costa-Araújo Rodrigo , Bergamasco Giovanna , Roos Christian , Farias Izeni Pires , Hrbek Tomas
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Currently, 15 species of Amazon marmosets (genus Mico) are known to science. The Amazon marmosets occur primarily in southern Brazilian Amazonia, the arc of deforestation, and are among the least studied primates of the neotropics. This is particularly the case for M. acariensis and M. chrysoleucos, both endemic to the Aripuanã–Sucundurí interfluve, south-central Amazonia. Mico acariensis was not studied beyond the species description, and the only information currently available is the pelage colouration of the holotype, inferred coordinates of the type locality, and a field report with two additional localities of occurrence. Regarding M. chrysoleucos, in addition to the species description, there are taxonomic reviews, the report of a second occurrence record, and a study on the species range. We provide here new occurrence records that extend the distribution of M. chrysoleucos; provide new records for and update the distribution of M. acariensis; and propose the existence of a hybrid zone in the Aripuanã–Sucundurí interfluve, i.e. around the known distribution boundaries of M. acariensis, M. chrysoleucos, and M. melanurus, and we also discuss habitat use patterns of Amazon marmosets.

Published: July 2023

The aim of this study was to examine perceived leisure-time physical activity constraints between Turkish young people living in Germany and Turkey. The current study was conducted with a causal-comparative model to examine the differences in perceived physical activity constraints between Turkish youth living in Turkey and fourth-generation Turkish-German youth who grew up and lived in Germany. 196 young adults from Germany and 201 young adults from Turkey participated in this study. A 2-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance test was used to assess the effects of country of residence and gender background on perceived physical activity constraints. Analysis revealed that there was a statistically significant interaction effect between the country of residence and gender on perceived physical activity constraints of Body Perception, Facilities, Income, Family, Skill Perception, Time, Willpower, and Society. There was also a statistically significant simple main effect of country of residence on all subscales except the skill perception, and the significant simple main effect of gender on facilities, income, time, willpower, and society subscales. Young adults living in Turkey and female precipitants reported higher physical activity constraints compared to participants living in Germany and males. These differences might be associated with the differences in economic development and physical activity norms in Turkish and German societies. These factors are vital for the number of environmental and organizational opportunities to increase leisure-time physical activity participation.
SHOULD I REPORT ABUSE? - ATTITUDES TOWARD DOPING TESTING AND ANONYMOUS REPORTING IN THE WHISTLEBOWER PROGRAMME
Authors: Kajtna Tanja , Zajc Luka , Makuc Nina
Published: July 2023

Despite all endeavours to prevent it, the use of performance-enhancing substances continues to occur in sports and social science research suggests that doping prevalence is likely much higher than what is found through testing. One of the ways to uncover doping violators is through reporting illicit drug use, through “doping whistleblowing” – the readiness to do so depends highly on the level of our moral development and the motivation to do so. It was exactly this method, which helped uncover some of the biggest doping scandals in sport in the past few years and our purpose in this study was to examine attitudes toward drug testing and anonymous reporting and see, if we can predict an athlete’s intention to report anonymously based on attitudes toward drug testing. 255 top athletes and coaches from Estonia and Slovenia-two small, athletically successful countries-participated in this study, 176 male and 79 female, 156 athletes and 99 coaches from team and individual sports. They filled out an attitudes questionnaire about drug testing and an anonymous report. The participants filled out a questionnaire online. We used t – test to compare subgroups of participants and correlation and linear regression to look for relations between doping attitudes and willingness to make an anonymous report. Comparisons of subgroups of participants revealed that female participants are more likely to believe that taking banned substances should be punished but are less likely to make an anonymous report. We also found that coaches seem to be better informed about the issue of doping than athletes and trust NADO more than athletes. We found several correlations between attitudes toward doping testing and those toward anonymous report and we tried to predict the willingness to make an anonymous report. We found several predictors, which were different for men and women. NADOs play an important role in creating conditions, which will enable people to report doping anonymously, but it has to be done both through education and through rigorous testing. This will ensure that whistleblowing can become an active part of the fight for clean sport.
Handstand on parallel bars: temperature differences of palms after static and dynamic load
Authors: Šibanc Karmen , Pajek Maja , Pušnik Igor , Ivan Čuk
Published: July 2023

The temperature of palms and their differences after different loading have not been well studied. Our research question was how palm temperature differs in human hands after different loads (handstand and swinging in handstand) for 30 seconds on low parallel bars. A high quality thermal imaging camera was used to measure 38 students from the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of sport. Palm temperatures were measured before the load was applied, immediately after load and every 30 seconds for a period of 5 minutes after the load. Each hand was divided into 9 different Regions of Interest (ROIs). Mean (XA), standard deviation (SD), maximum and minimum, and number of pixels were calculated. According to our results, there was no difference between the left and right hands. The temperature immediately after loading decreased significantly in both loads and then increased above the level as before loading. After static loading, the temperature decrease is smaller and then increases faster than after dynamic loading. For both loads, the temperature is higher 5 minutes after the load than before the load. We need to further investigate how long it takes for the hand temperature to reach the pre-load temperature

Published: July 2023

Background/Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is no longer a rare disease in Asia, thus it needs to prepare recommendations relevant to Asian patients. This study aimed to identify disparities in the process of the diagnosis of IBD in Asian countries/regions.Methods: In line with the 2020 Asian Organization for Crohn’s and Colitis annual meeting, a multinational web-based survey about Asian physicians’ perspectives on IBD was conducted. Results: A total of 384 Asian physicians (99 in China, 93 in Japan, 110 in Korea, and 82 in other Asian countries/regions) treating IBD patients from 24 countries/regions responded to the survey. Most respondents were gastroenterologists working in an academic teaching hospital. About half of them had more than 10 years of clinical experience in caring for patients with IBD. The European Crohn’s Colitis Organisation guideline was used most commonly for the diagnosis of IBD except for Japanese physicians who preferred their own national guideline. The Mayo score and Crohn’s Disease Activity Index were the most commonly used activity scoring systems for ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, respectively. Endoscopy, not surprisingly, was the main investigation in assessing the extent and activity of IBD. On the other hand, there were disparities across countries/regions with regard to the favored modalities of small bowel and perianal evaluation of Crohn’s disease, as well as the use of serologic markers. Conclusions: Results of the present survey revealed practical behaviors of Asian physicians in the diagnosis of IBD. Investigating the reasons for different diagnostic approaches among countries/regions might help us develop Asian guidelines further.

Background/Aims: Infectious complications are major concerns when treating patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study evaluated clinical differences across countries/regions in the management of infectious diseases in patients with IBD.Methods: A multinational online questionnaire survey was administered to participants at the 8th meeting of the Asian Organization for Crohn’s and Colitis. The questionnaire included questions regarding surveillance, diagnosis, management, and prevention of infection in patients with IBD.Results: A total of 384 physicians responded to the questionnaire. The majority of Korean (n=70, 63.6%) and Chinese (n=51, 51.5%) physicians preferred vancomycin to metronidazole in the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection, whereas more than half of the Japanese physicians (n=62, 66.7%) preferred metronidazole. Physicians in Korea (n=88, 80.0%) and China (n=46, 46.5%) preferred a 3-month course of isoniazid and rifampin to treat latent tuberculosis infection, whereas most physicians in Japan (n=71, 76.3%) favored a 9-month course of isoniazid. Most Korean physicians (n=89, 80.9%) recommended hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination in patients lacking HBV surface antigen, whereas more than half of Japanese physicians (n=53, 57.0%) did not consider vaccination.Conclusions: Differences in the diagnosis, prevention, and management of infections in patients with IBD across countries/regions reflect different prevalence rates of infectious diseases. This survey may broaden understanding of the real-world clinical settings across Asian countries/regions and provide information for establishing practical guidelines to manage patients with IBD.

Authors: TARPOSHYAN HAKOB
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this research is to study the impact of institutions on public health, as
well as to identify those institutions that have the greatest impact on public health. Life
expectancy was chosen as the indicator describing public health, and six component
elements of the World Bank's Governance Quality (WGI) were used to assess the institutional
quality of countries. The basis of the research is the study of scientific materials and the
performed panel regression analysis.
As a result of the research, it became clear that institutional quality has a positive and
significant effect on life expectancy. Apart from that, improving the effectiveness of the
government and strengthening the rule of law has the greatest impact on institutional
indicators. Accordingly, policies aimed at improving institutional quality can have a
significant positive impact on public health.
The results are consistent with other studies that have examined the role of institutional
quality in determining life expectancy in different regions of the world. In addition to
providing a basis for policy development, the research can also contribute to improving the
quality of further research in the field.
Hydrochemical composition of the water of the Okkerville river
Authors: Kaurova Z. G. , Glazunov A. D.
Published: July 2023

Okkervil is one of the small rivers of St. Petersburg, the source of which is located on the territory of the Leningrad Region, and the mouth is within the city of St. Petersburg. The length of the river is 18 kilometers, and in its course it passes through several rapidly developing settlements, including the village of Novosergievka and Kudrovo. The Okkervil River and its coastal zone, both within the city and beyond its borders, are actively used for various purposes, including recreation and amateur fishing. However, like many other rivers flowing through the territories of large cities, the river. Okkervil is subject to diverse anthropogenic pressure, leading to water pollution. Thus, the water quality of this river may not be of adequate quality for use in fisheries and recreational purposes. The main objective of this work is to determine the chemical composition of the waters of the river and to establish its suitability for fisheries and recreational water use. Sampling was carried out during the open water period at three points with different types of anthropogenic load: outside the city, near the village of Novosergievka; at the entrance to the city; and in the residential area, near the Prospekt Bolshevikov metro station. At each point, the main hydrochemical indicators were determined: the concentrations of iron, copper, ammonium ions, phosphates, nitrates and nitrites, heavy metals, as well as the concentration of dissolved oxygen and BOD5. At all sampling points during the research period in the river, the standard values for the content of nitrites, phosphates, iron and copper were exceeded.The results obtained indicate a high level of pollution associated, among other things, with the ingress of untreated storm drains into the river, and untreated and undertreated household waste. The highest level of water pollution was noted at a point located in a residential area. The water here corresponded to the V class of quality (dirty). Both in the spring-summer and autumn periods of the study, the water of the Okkervil River in the other two sections corresponded to III-IV quality class (moderately polluted - polluted). The water quality of the Okkervil River deteriorates from the source to the mouth. In all the studied areas, the river is unsuitable for fisheries and recreational water use.

Published: July 2023

Estimates of the breeding value of producers and breeding stock of cattle use various information and analytical models and statistical methods, including the determination of the breeding value of animals using the BLUP methodology and the BLUP AM methodology, for the subsequent transition to predictive genomic SNP selection. The study was conducted on the reproductive population of cows of the Kholmogory breed of the Arkhangelsk region, Kholmogory district. A genealogical analysis of a spontaneous population of cows of first-calf heifers of the Kholmogory breed was carried out, represented by the offspring of 66 bulls, which were evaluated according to the main productive indicators and breeding value (PC). A rank assessment of sires was carried out according to the efficiency of the productive contribution of daughters, bulls' PC for milk yield and MJ, MDB. The studies confirmed the literature data on the possibility and effectiveness of using phantom cattle populations in assessing the breeding value of producers.
Aerogenic route of metals entering lake Ladoga
Authors: Romanov A. Yu. , Arshanitsa N. M. , Stekolnikov A. A. , Khamzin S. V.
Published: July 2023

Studies have shown that the entry of metals and other pollutants by aerogenic means into Lake Ladoga is associated with the presence of both remote and local sources of entry into the atmosphere. In this regard, Lake Ladoga is in a vulnerable state, as studies have shown – since often the metal content in precipitation is higher than in water. This is especially dangerous for the shallow littoral zone of the lake, where the dilution rate is low due to the volume of water. This showed their presence in water, sediments and fish, and most importantly – the impact on the biota and, above all, on the ichthyofauna, since fish are able to accumulate pathological information during their life cycle. Toxicosis has become a mass phenomenon in these waters, which has affected the natural reproduction of fish with a prolonged effect on populations and ichthyocinosis in general. The inflow of metals and other pollutants of organic nature (xenobiotics) in the form of dry and wet precipitation forms a polluting surface runoff, which is associated with difficulties in carrying out preventive measures.
The influence of long-lived radionuclides of Cesium - 137 and Strontium - 90 on some biochemical parameters of pig blood
Authors: Belopolsky A. Eg.
Published: July 2023

The article presents the results of studying the effect of long-lived radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr on some biochemical parameters of the blood serum of pigs. Ionizing radiation has a pronounced biological effect, and the radiobiological reaction in pigs begins with the formation of various kinds of cellular damage as a result of the transfer of radiation energy to them. A feature of the influence of incorporated irradiation on the body of pigs is not only decay, but also the formation of highly reactive ions and free radicals, which are involved in the primary radiation-chemical processes in organs and tissues with the formation of toxic metabolites. The severity of the damage depends on the type of radiation exposure, the power and dose of radiation, radiosensitivity and the age of a particular animal species. In addition, the tropism of long-lived radionuclides and the level of radioactive doses received for various organs and tissues of pigs are of particular importance.
Antibiotic resistance of microbiota of drinking milk sold in St.Petersburg and Leningrad region
Authors: Noskov A. E. , Prikhodko E. Ig. , Martynova X. Dm.
Published: July 2023

In view of the increasing interest in the issues of antibiotic resistance of opportunistic microorganisms, there is a need for a closer study of bacteria isolated from animal products. Such bacteria can carry genes for resistance to antimicrobial drugs, including those used to treat human diseases [4, 10]. In this case, drinking milk is of particular interest, because the antibiotic-resistant bacteria contained in it can freely enter the body in the absence of additional heat treatment before consumption. The work took into account the requirements of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union (TR CU) 021/2011 "On food safety" and TR CU 033/2013 "On the safety of milk and dairy products", as well as the recommendations of the European Committee for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing EUCAST and the Interregional Association for clinical microbiology and antimicrobial chemotherapy MACMAC. As a result of the research, the presence of resistance to antibacterial drugs was determined in 36 bacterial isolates from milk sold in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.

Discrimination et incitation à la haine dans la ligne de mire
Authors: Marie Besse Miriam Mazou et
Published: July 2023

Le Tribunal fédéral a estimé que le titulaire d’un compte sur un réseau social, de même que le prestataire de service, n’avait pas d’obligation de modérer le contenu y figurant, publié par des tiers. En matière de discrimination raciale et d’incitation à la haine, notre Haute Cour a confirmé la condamnation de Dieudonné pour avoir prononcé, lors d’une représentation à Genève, la phrase « les chambres à gaz n’ont jamais existé ». S’agissant toujours de l’infraction de discrimination, le Tribunal fédéral a retenu que tant le terme « Tziganes étrangers» que le terme « gens du voyage » renvoyaient à une ethnie et permettaient une condamnation. Le Tribunal cantonal vaudois a quant à lui acquitté l’ancien haut fonctionnaire français Henry de Lesquen du chef de prévention de discrimination raciale, pour des propos tenus certes devant un journaliste mais « en aparté ». Le Tribunal fédéral a confirmé l’acquittement d’un journaliste ayant enregistré un ancien membre d’une administration cantonale à son insu, au motif que la conversation ne pouvait être considérée comme « non publique ». Dans le canton de Vaud, le Tribunal cantonal a condamné un ancien journaliste pour menaces alarmant la population, ce dernier ayant notamment soutenu que l’eau fournie à des milliers de ménages vaudois était totalement impropre à la consommation. Enfin, le Tribunal fédéral a confirmé sa jurisprudence selon laquelle le prononcé d’un huis clos partiel en raison de la pandémie de Covid-19 ne violait pas le principe de publicité de la justice.
Une épine dans le pied des photographes professionnels?
Authors: Coquoz Etienne
Published: July 2023

Dans cet arrêt concernant la violation du droit d’auteur en relation avec l’utilisation sans autorisation d’une photographie, le Tribunal fédéral arrive à la conclusion que les recommandations de prix d’organisation professionnelle (SAB) ne sont pas suffisantes, en tant que telles et invoquées de manière abstraite, pour fixer le prix du marché pour une photographie dans le cadre d’une action en enrichissement illégitime (art. 62 al. 2 CO). Bien qu’ayant admis l’existence d’une violation des droits d’auteur, le TF a arrêté le prix du marché, basé sur des offres existantes apportées par la société intimée durant la procédure, à CHF 55.- pour l’utilisation d’une photographie sans autorisation. En effet, il a considéré que le photographe n’avait pas réussi à démontrer que ces recommandations de tarifs étaient effectivement suivies dans la pratique et constituaient ainsi la valeur du marché.

Auch wenn zur Beurteilung von Programmbeschwerden immer der Gesamteindruck einer Sendung massgebend ist, kann ein kleiner Teil einer Sendung aufgrund der besonderen Erwartungshaltung zu einem erhöhten Interesse beim Publikum führen. Das 1:1-Interview in einer Diskussionssendung beurteilte die UBI entsprechend als Verletzung des Sachgerechtigkeitsgebots.
Die traditionellen Bundesratsansprachen vor Abstimmungen müssen das Vielfaltsgebot beachten, denn das geltende Radio- und Fernsehgesetz sieht keine Ausstrahlungspflicht unter Verantwortung der Behörde mehr vor. Dies sind zwei der vielen Themen, welche die UBI im Berichtsjahr beschäftigte.

Pressure build up test suatu teknik pengujian transien tekanan yang paling dikenal dan banyak diilakukan orang, pada dasarnya pengujian ini dilakukan pertama-tama dengan memproduksi sumur selama suatu selang waktu tertentu dengan laju aliran yang tetap (konstan), kemudian menutup sumur tertsebut. Penutupan sumur ini menyebabkan naiknya tekanan yang dicatat sebagai fungsi waktu (tekanan yang dicatat ini biasanya adalah tekanan dasar sumur). Metode yang digunakan dalam Analisa adalah metode Horner dan dilanjutkan dengan metode komputerisasi  menggunakan software Shapir yang memiliki hasil dengan tingkat keakurasian yang tinggi, sehingga didapatkan hasil yang maksimum dan mendekati dengan kondisi di lapangan. Dari hasil evaluasi Sumur DPL#1  diperoleh permeabilitas (k) sebesar 154 md, skin faktor sebesar 1.2, penurunan tekanan akibat skin (∆ps) sebesar 0.86 psi, flow efficiency sebesar 0.83331 dan Radius pengurasan sebesar 648 ft yang mengindikasikan bahwa formasi masih dalam kondisi baik dan belum wajib dilakukan perbaikan. Sumur DPL#2 menghasilkan permeabilitas (K) sebesar 1930 md, skin faktor sebesar 87.63, penurunan tekanan akibat skin (∆ps) sebesar 61,8 psi, flow efficiency sebesar 0.0868 dan Radius pengurasan sebesar 1959 ft yang mengindikasikan bahwa formasi rusak dan dirujuk untuk dilakukan perbaikan.

Policy Commons
Authors: Beach Jennifer S.
Published: July 2023

The creators at Coherent Digital, parent company of Policy Commons, state that their mission is to “tame wild content,” arguing that digitally published information from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), municipal agencies, and
others have a short life span and are often lost when organizations close or new reports supersede old ones. Launched in 2020, Policy Commons has quickly expanded beyond its original structure to include three modules. The original content of Policy Commons is now housed in the module Global
Think Tanks, which is joined by new modules North American City Reports and World Cities. Users may search all available content either through the main search or by selecting individual modules. Coherent Digital’s other products include Mindscape Commons, Africa Commons, and History
Commons, among others. The content varies in both topic and currency, making it potentially useful for a variety of disciplines; and the ease of access to materials that would be difficult or impossible to find on the open Internet adds value to this resource. All collected content is discoverable
through a comprehensive, user-friendly search platform, which includes comprehensive filters and Boolean operators and enables browsing of subjects or organizations.

Information value of digitized archival documents for studies on the ethnology of Ukrainians from the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Cojuhari Victor
Published: July 2023

Information value of digitized archival documents during the implementation of the project “21.70105.8 ŞD Arhiva etnografică digitală cu acces deschis - prezervarea şi valorificarea tradiţiei pentru dezvoltare durabilă” also includes documents that contain important information about the history and traditional everyday culture of Ukrainians from the Republic of Moldova. This is, first of all, material culture - clothing, food, weaving, agricultural production, etc. As well as folk traditions, beliefs and rituals associated with them, and much more. A red thread through all documents is information about the mutual influence and literally intertwining of Ukrainian and Moldovan traditional cultures, which is the result of centuries of cohabitation on the same territory, and testifies to the closeness and mutual knowledge, acceptance and respect not only of each other’s cultures, but also of the corresponding relations between peoples in general. All this information will enable specialists in the ethnology of Ukrainians and not only to significantly replenish the source base of their research, which will make a significant contribution to the development of ethnological science in the Republic of Moldova as a whole.
