Eski Van Şehri’ndeki Miri Ambarı Hakkında Bir Araştırma
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Şahabettin
Published: December 2023

Van Kalesi’nin güneyinde yer alan Eski Van Şehri, stratejik konumundan dolayı Urartular’dan beri birçok uygarlık tarafından kullanılmıştır. Şehrin doğu, güney ve batısı çift sıra surlarla kuzeyi ise Van Kalesi ile çevrelenmiştir. Eski Van Şehri, 1915-18 yıllarında Rus-Ermeniler tarafından işgal edilir. 1917 yılındaki Çarlık Rus birliklerinin Bolşevik Devriminin ardından bölgeden çekilmesi ile şehirdeki tüm mimari yapılar çeteler tarafından yakılıp yıkılmıştır. 1918 yılında sonra şehirde yaşam sona ermiş, yapılaşma günümüz Van şehrinde başlamıştır. 1918-95 yılları arası kaderine terk edilen Eski Van Şehri doğanın ve definecilerin tahribatı olumsuz etkisi ile her gün biraz daha zemine yaklaşmaktadır. 1995 yılında çeşitli kurumlar tarafından kentte kazı, proje ve onarım çalışmaları başlatılmıştır. Devletin tahıl deposu olarak kullanılan Miri Ambarı, oldukça güvenilir bir bölgede inşa edilmiştir. Günümüzde yapının beden duvarlarının bir bölümü, düz toprak damı ve çıkış merdivenleri tamamen yıkılmıştır. XVII. Yüzyıl içerisinde inşa edilen Miri Ambarı, doğu-batı istikametinde dikdörtgen bir biçimde zemine yerleştirilmiştir. Yapıya giriş güney cephede sivri kemer nişi içerisindeki iki ayrı kapı ile sağlanır. Ambar üç ayrı bölümden meydana gelmiştir. Düz damın orta bölümünde aynı yatay aks üzerindeki üç adet dam başı bulunmaktadır. Sıkıştırılmış çorak toprak ve odun külü katkılı çamur ile inşa edilen düz toprak dam yağan kar ve yağmur sularının tahliyesi için sekiz adet çörten yer almaktadır. Bu çalışma ile Miri Ambarı’nın özgün mimari yapısının daha fazla tahrip olmadan korunmasını sağlamak ilgili koruyucu önlemleri alınarak, gelecek kuşaklara aktarılması amaçlanmaktadır. Van Valiliği tarafından yapının onarımına yönelik kazı, belgeleme ve uygulama rölöve, restitüsyon, restorasyon ve işlevlendirme projeleri konusunda uzman elemanlarca hazırlatılarak ilgili kurum ve kuruldan onaylanmıştır. Arkeolojik sit olarak ilan edilen Eski Van Şehri içerisinde önemli bir yeri olan Miri Ambarı hem form olarak hem de mimari plan özellikleri bakımından gerek Van ve bölgede mimari özellik bakımından tek sivil yapıdır.
Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making for Smart City Evaluation and Ranking
Authors: ÜNAL Mert , IŞIKLAR ALPTEKİN Gülfem
Published: December 2023

As urban areas continue to grow and evolve, the development of smart cities has become a critical topic in urban planning and sustainability. Cities have been forced to become as smart as possible to deal with huge amounts of civic functions and boost economic growth, while constantly increasing citizens’ quality of life. They frequently invest in data-driven smart technologies for managing the vast amount of data and improving performance and efficiency. However, a city earns its smartness status when it satisfies criteria from various dimensions. Therefore, governments and local authorities need to direct their limited resources to the right domains. One way to determine it is to position the city among its rivals. The paper proposes a methodology for evaluating and ranking the smartness of 48 cities worldwide using two techniques: TOPSIS and the entropy weight method. The proposed framework examines the smartness of the cities considering seven dimensions. The results reveal a comprehensive ranking that not only accounts for the cities' overall performance in smart city development but also highlights specific strengths and weak areas for improvement. The proposed approach can be utilized as a decision support tool for city planners, policymakers, and stakeholders to identify best practices for the development of sustainable smart cities, evaluate progress, and direct investments to the right areas.
Neo-Liberal İktidarın Kerberosu: Kent
Authors: ÇINAR Sinan
Published: December 2023

Varoluşlarından bu yana kentler iktidarların yoğunlaşma merkezleri olmuştur. Bu yoğunlaşma hali kaçınılmaz olarak kentler ile iktidar arasında diyalektik bir ilişkiyi de var etmiştir. Gordon Childe’ın “kentsel devrim” olarak tanımladığı süreçle birlikte kentler nüfusu, sermayeyi ve iktidarı kendine çekmeye başlamıştır. Bu süreç özellikle Sanayi Devrimi ile birlikte hız kazanmış ve kenti şekillendirmeye başlamıştır. İktidar kenti yaratırken kent de her daim iktidar ilişkilerinin üretildiği, sahnelendiği ve yeniden üretildiği yerler olmuştur. Kentler, üretimin ve yeniden üretimin merkezleri olmakla birlikte; iktidarın hem “kapı bekçilerini” hem de “mezar kazıcılarını” eş zamanlı olarak üretmiştir. İktidar “kapı bekçilerini” yaratmak adına bir yandan fiziki müdahaleler ile “yapılı mekânı” şekillendirirken bir yandan da toplumsal müdahaleler ile “kent kimliğini” inşa etmek istemiştir. Bu süreci hegemonya, habitus, güvenlik düzeneği, yönlendirilmiş tüketim toplumu vb. kavramlar ile birlikte düşünerek neo-liberalizmin kenti nasıl kavradığı hususu bu çalışmanın merkezine konumlandırılmıştır. Çalışmanın iddiası neo-liberal ideolojinin, kavrayış ve kurgulayış şekliyle günümüzde kenti iktidarın kerberosu yani iktidarın koruyucusu haline getirmeye çalıştığıdır.

The effect of electricity reliability on the sustainability of SMEs in Fako Division of Cameroon
Authors: Tapang Felix , Mbarika Irene
Published: December 2023

Purpose: To investigate the effects of the reliability of electricity supply on the sustainability of SMEs in Cameroon.
Research Methodology: This study investigates the effects of the reliability of electricity supply on the sustainability of SMEs in Cameroon. The study used a quantitative approach with the philosophical underpinnings of objectivist ontology and positivist epistemology. Primary data were obtained through closed-ended questionnaires that were responded to by 54 purposively sampled participants in the Fako division. The data were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SPSS 23 and SPSS Amos 24 software.
Results: The study revealed that sporadic electricity supply interruptions, chronic electricity supply interruptions, and momentary electricity supply interruptions have no significant positive impact on the sustainability of SMEs in the Fako Division of the Southwest Region of Cameroon.
Limitations: This study had a limitation in methodology, as it used a quantitative approach only. A better understanding of this study’s phenomenon can be achieved by adopting a mixed research method, where the qualitative aspect will provide a deeper understanding of the effects of other variables that affect  SME sustainability.
Contribution: Based on the results of this study, business managers will come to the understanding that the sustainability of their businesses is not dependent on the reliability of the electricity supply. This means that other variables responsible for the sustainability of businesses can be studied qualitatively.
Work-life balance practices and employee job satisfaction: A case study of Ghana's security industry in Greater Accra
Authors: Amegayibor Godson Kwame
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The main goal of this study is to determine how work-life balance factors influence employees' job satisfaction in the security sector.
Research Methodology: To sample 115 employees, a quantitative methodology and correlational descriptive design, as well as a census technique, were used. The data were collected using structured questionnaires. The hypotheses were tested using multiple linear regression, and the data were input, processed, and analyzed using SPSS version 20.
Results: The findings showed that employees benefit from the organization's work-life balance strategies developed to guarantee that work life is easy for all employees. It also highlighted that several work-life balance elements have a substantial influence on employees' job satisfaction.
Limitations: A drawback is that, especially in Ghana's security industry, work-life balance practice has received less attention in the management literature. The study was limited in scope and concentrated on two districts in an urban environment.
Contribution: This theory supports the notion that elements of work-life balance influence job satisfaction. Whatever occurred or Any effort made to support employees’ work life would produce definite results when these factors or practices are ingrained into the security service and other organizations’ general policies and programs. This amply demonstrates the importance of work-life balance as a pivot point for employees' ability to meet organizational goals. It is good that the human resource management of every organization pays critical attention to these factors because they will increase job satisfaction and enhance performance.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study aims to reveal the copy culture of Bangladesh.
Research methodology: Qualitative research was designed for this study, and an ethnographic approach was used for data collection along with in-depth interviews with copy brand users. The judgmental and snowball sampling methods were used in this study. Semi-structured questionnaires and mostly open-ended questions were designed based on the objectives of this study.
Results: The findings were analyzed under three main themes: Copying Us or copying them, Consumer Subjectivity as individuals, and Fragmented Authenticity.
Limitations: Due to financial and time constraints, this research focused only on the capital city of Dhaka. In the case of broader research, this study can be analyzed in other regions of the country, which will provide a wide range of information regarding copy-culture attitudes.
Contribution: In Bangladesh, people follow foreign trends and famous people’s lifestyles through copy brands. This study defines how and why copying culture encourages people to purchase from the local market. The reason that allures customers to buy replicate products is the availability and affordable price of the product, which is at a time creatively designed likely to match the original version.
Novelty: This study can help others to take decisions based on the findings on copy culture.

Authors: Bertola Izquierdo María Noel , Reynolds Verónica , Rodríguez Palacio Luis Ignacio
Published: December 2023

Introducción: dada la alta prescripción de bifosfonatos, presentamos sus efectos adversos en la esfera odontológica, siendo una complicación poco frecuente, pero de difícil tratamiento. Sin  necesidad de suspender el tratamiento, dado el importante beneficio en cuanto a la prevención de fractura por fragilidad. Estas fracturas causan una alta morbimortalidad en contraposición al bajo riesgo que conlleva la Osteonecrosis mandibular asociada a bifosfonatos. Objetivo: orientar al personal de salud que maneja estos fármacos y quien asiste dichas complicaciones a poseer conocimientos para la prevención de osteonecrosis. Identificar y diferenciar los pacientes con mayor riesgo, de acuerdo con la dosis de bifosfonatos y la frecuencia del tratamiento. Materiales y Método: se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en las siguientes fuentes: Scielo, Google académico, Medline/Pubmed, Biblioteca Virtual en Salud (Brasil), desde el año 2005 a la fecha, idiomas español, portugués e inglés. Los descriptores utilizados son bifosfonatos, mandíbula, maxilar, odontología, osteonecrosis, osteonecrosis de los maxilares asociada a bifosfonatos. Resultados: las últimas pautas de tratamiento fueron modificadas en 2014, por consenso de la Asociación Americana de cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial. La patogénesis de la osteonecrosis maxilar  asociada a bifosfonatos no está completamente definida, aunque las publicaciones tratan de explicarla. El riesgo de desarrollarla por terapia oral es menor que por su administración vía intravenosa.  Discusión: el médico que prescribe el antirresortivo debe conocer el estado de salud dental de su paciente y, en lo posible, remitirlo a examen con el odontólogo antes de iniciar la terapia con bifosfonatos.

ntroduction. Active integration into the European Union, at the same time as the blockade of seaports and the difference in the standards of the transport sector, especially at border crossing points, creates a significant load on the capacity of the transport and logistics system of Ukraine, which, in turn, requires the search and involvement of various tools for strengthening competitiveness of Ukrainian infrastructure and its successful connection with global supply chains. Problem Statement. Transport infrastructure is a key factor of the economy competitiveness. It provides access to markets, resources and services and promotes economic growth and development. However, the challenges of global changes in the field of transport, which determine the need for constant modernization and development of infrastructure, call into question the competitiveness of countries and regions that cannot provide high-quality and efficient infrastructure. The use of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) funding tool provides a unique opportunity to improve the national transport infrastructure, ensure its sufficient funding in order to develop cross-border cooperation and increase competitiveness.
An Efficient and Easy-to-Implement Method for SLL Reduction in RIS-Aided Systems
Authors: Haskou Abdullah , Khaleghi Hamidreza
Published: December 2023

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) are being considered as a
potential technology for upcoming 6G cellular communication systems.
RISs offer the capability to steer a wireless signal in a desired
direction, thereby enhancing the overall performance of wireless systems
in terms of coverage and spectral efficiency. However, the conventional
methods of RIS beamforming result in significant inter-beam interference
primarily caused by relatively high Side Lobe Levels (SLLs). In antenna
beamforming, amplitude tapering has shown promising results in
Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) systems. Amplitude
tapering allows for a notable reduction in inter-beam interference by
decreasing SLLs, albeit at the expense of a reduction in the Main Lobe
Level (MLL) and an increase in its width. In this paper we investigate
the feasibility of utilizing this technique for RIS beamforming. In
addition, we demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique through
link-level simulations of a RIS-aided multi-user downlink system.
Il San Matteo di Pisa: un “modello” tra i musei italiani
Authors: Giusti Francesca
Published: December 2023

The story of the Civic Museum of Pisa, built by Piero Sanpaolesi in the former convent of San Matteo, and inaugurated in 1949 in the midst of the emergency of reconstruction, intertwines the themes of restoration and museography, representing a significant synthesis of the international debate on culture and museum practice. In this sense, the contribution aims to demonstrate the principle of unity between architectural structure and pieces of art that underlies the project of the museum of San Matteo, where the intent of Sanpaolesi to think the restoration of the building and the exhibition as a whole emerges clearly. Restoration as an opportunity to know the historical and artistic palimpsest that is part of the process of musealization of the building, in relation to an idea of ‘modernity’ compatible with the cultural values of which the building itself is the bearer. Where the idea of valorization acquires meaning not so much because the building ‘contains’ works of art, but because the same operation of rereading the historical narrative of the building is an integral part of the exhibition.

Effectiveness /Efficacy Degree of Locally Made Hand Sanitizer against Gram-Negative Bacteria (GNB) using Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-VIS) Spectroscopic Signatures
Authors: Osuntokun Oludare Temitope , Olorundare Stephen Dayo , Olabanji Oluwatosin Mercy
Published: December 2023

Hand hygiene, particularly hand sanitizing, is essential in reducing infectious disease transmission. The recent outbreak of different diseases such as Ebola and corona virus in Nigeria and other countries around the world both increased public awareness of the practice of hand sanitizing and resulted in the introduction of new products to the market. This study aimed to evaluate the degree of antibacterial effectiveness and efficacy of ten locally made hand sanitizers sold in Akungba Akoko area using agar well diffusion and dilution methods. This study was carried out from April to July, 2022. In this study, 10 alcohol-based hand sanitizers were purchased from the main stores in Akungba Akoko. Among them, 8 liquid based hand sanitizers and among 3gel based hand sanitizers. Efficacy of hand sanitizers were evaluated against some Gram negative bacterial isolates including; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, Haemophilia alvei, Serratia odorifera, Proteus sp, Escherichia coli, Salmonella multocida, Salmonella multocida, Klebsiella ornithinolytica and Klebsiella ornithinolytica by agar well diffusion method. Results in this study showed higher inhibitory activity of 70% of the products to the test isolates. In general however, the sanitizers showed good activities, with inhibition of bacteria noted at concentrations as low as 25%. Products tested in this study showed higher zones of inhibition than previously reported, indicating their overall effectiveness. The variations in diffusion and dilution results highlight the effect of texture of the sanitizing product on testing methods and point at a need to properly assess if this could perhaps have any effect in real time on inhibitory activities. The hand sanitizing products tested in this study are suitable in disease prevention. However, regulatory bodies may need to focus on product texture until the effect of this on activity is determined.

Authors: Alfaifi Amal Jaber , Alfaifi Ahmed M. Musa , Khan Liaqat Ali
Published: December 2023

Functional dyspepsia (FD), a commonly prevalent multifactorial disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), is encountered and managed in family practice and gastroenterology clinics. The diagnosis is solely clinical based on Rome-IV criteria, excluding the organic, systemic, or metabolic causes. Management is often challenging ranging from lifestyle modifications, H-pylori eradication, H2-receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, and prokinetics (1st-line) to antidepressants, and antipsychotics (2nd line) of therapy, once the patient shows no response to 1st line. In severe cases, refractory to 1st & the 2nd line of treatment needs a team approach and gut-brain behavioral therapy. Herein, we present a young female patient diagnosed with FD, managed well with 2nd-line treatment (Sulpiride), an atypical antipsychotic medication, as the patient's symptoms showed no improvement with first-line treatment.

Introdução: A Doença Arterial Periférica, caracterizada pela obstrução ou estreitamento das artérias que irrigam as extremidades do corpo, é um problema de saúde global que pode resultar em complicações significativas se não for devidamente identificado e tratado. No âmbito brasileiro, a prevalência e a epidemiologia específicas dessa condição demandam uma análise aprofundada para orientar estratégias de prevenção e intervenção eficazes.

Metodologia: A metodologia empregada para a realização desta revisão sistemática seguiu um protocolo estruturado. Inicialmente, foi conduzida uma pesquisa no banco de dados PUBMED, utilizando MESH terms específicos, que incluíram "Brazil," "Peripheral Arterial Disease," "prevalence," e "Epidemiology." A busca foi restrita ao período de 2021 a 2023, com a opção de inclusão apenas de artigos de texto completo.

Resultado: É importante notar que a prevalência da Doença Arterial Periférica aumenta significativamente com a idade, o que destaca a importância da conscientização e intervenções preventivas em populações mais suscetíveis. Estratégias de educação e promoção da saúde voltadas para a modificação de comportamentos de risco, como o tabagismo e o controle do diabetes, são fundamentais.

Conclusão: A complexidade da doença arterial periférica vai além dos sintomas locais, estendendo-se a uma associação intrínseca com um maior risco de eventos cardiovasculares graves, como o infarto do miocárdio e o acidente vascular cerebral.

FORMAL TESTS FOR CHOOSING A MODEL SPECIFICATION
Authors:   Doctor of Economic Sciences, Professor, Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russia, Babeshko Lyudmila O.
Published: December 2023

The paper examines the construction of an econometric model of the dependence of the money supply aggregate M0 on nominal wages according to Russian Federation data. The problem of choosing a model specification is solved within the framework of formal tests, the algorithms of which are implemented in the R software environment. In practice, as a rule, the true model is unknown and as a result, a model is estimated that only approximately corresponds to the process that generates the data. To date, a number of approaches have been developed for testing the correctness of the choice of specification, both for nested and nonnested competing models. To test nested models, hypotheses are formulated in the form of restrictions on parameters, which are tested, for example, using a standard Ftest for comparing long (unrestricted) and short (restricted) regression models. Comparison of nonnested models is based on the formation of artificial embedding models – hybrid models that are tested using a nonnested Ftest or Jtest (Davidson, Mackinnon) [3, 9]. The Jtest uses only one constraint to make a reasonable choice of model, which leads to an increase in its power compared to a nonnested Ftest with a large number of additional regressors [2]. To select a functional form from a set of competing nonnested models, the BoxCox procedure is used, based on a formalized algorithm for selecting a linearizing transformation from a wide family of powerlaw transformations [1]. To compare linear and loglinear models, a simplified procedure proposed by Zarembka Paul [6] has found wide practical application. When constructing the econometric model under study using the listed procedures for selecting a functional form, the set of competing models included: a paired linear regression model; loglinear model, distributed lag model and autoregressive model.

The article discusses the issues of personnel management of a fitness center enterprise and their relationship with production characteristics. The staff of small businesses requires special attention, because of their qualifications and motivation to solve production tasks (and from each employee because of their small number) a significant part of the profitability of the enterprise depends. The paper sets the task of integrating numerical data of a production nature with unstructured information about the center's employees. Bayesian intelligent measurement technologies are used to structure such information. Since all experimental information received from respondents is incomplete and inaccurate, as well as subjective, to obtain motivational assessments and decisions, the article suggests using Bayesian intelligent technologies and means of their implementation in the form of a management decision support system created on the basis of the digital platform "Infoanalyst".

The article is devoted to the analysis of the commercialization process of the Internet of Things, providing an analysis of the key factors contributing to the revolution of this technology. The potential of the Internet of Things market and the commercialization process of this type of innovation are revealed, the roadmap for the successful commercialization of Internet of Things technologies is outlined. Recommendations have been proposed. It is concluded that the demand for Internet of Things technologies in economically developed countries is greater than in developing countries, and this problem widens the information gap between these groups of countries. The effective use of infocommunication technologies in modern e-business and commerce, despite its relatively short history, has caused a gap between economically developed and developing countries in this area due to the lack of real awareness and the proper both legal and administrative basis for the proper use of these technologies.

The article is devoted to the study of the relationship between the age of the insurer and the likelihood of revocation of his license to carry out insurance activities. The article examines the dynamics of the reduction in the number of insurers in Russia from 2011 to the end of 2023. An analysis was carried out of the attitude of customers towards insurance and the choice of the form of the procurement procedure, depending on this, using the appropriate evaluation criteria. The work analyzed the distribution of the number of insurance companies that lost their license by the period of their activity. In the course of the work, conclusions were drawn about internal and external factors influencing the likelihood of an insurer losing a license, a hybrid management model was proposed and described in detail, and the absence of a relationship between the age of the insurer and the likelihood of its departure from the insurance market was substantiated.

The article proposes the formation of a promising model of sustainable regulation of the oil and gas sector of the economy (in particular, carbon-intensive industries). The ESG platform developed by the authors, as a tool for the transition to a sustainable development model, creates the necessary conditions for business initiatives of the oil and gas sector of the economy and determines their preferential position in the market. In turn, restrictive measures taken against carbon-intensive industries determine new growth points for petrochemical enterprises that create high added value. This is characterized by the fact that high-tech solutions are being created in such industries, which are necessary in modern conditions of energy transfer.

The article is devoted to the study of the formation of innovative mechanisms of decentralized virtual currencies, in particular on the example of Bitcoin. For most of its history, mankind has used equivalents based on commodity money as means of payment. Money is a specific commodity that has the maximum level of liquidity and has been used as a universal equivalent for determining the value of all goods and services for a long historical period of time. The development of money as a universal equivalent is inextricably linked with the development of the entire human civilization. Blockchain technology is not the easiest thing to understand, it is difficult to develop and apply. Nevertheless, it is actively developing and attracting more and more investments. Unfortunately, these technologies have not yet found their consolidation in Russian legislation, as it has been done in European and Western countries.

This article studies the essence of inflation with the consideration of its main types. In addition, in the course of writing a research paper we considered the main consequences of inflation, which has a negative impact on the socio-economic development of the country. Also, we analyzed the market conditions with the consideration of the dynamics of inflation rates in the period from 2018 to 2022, relying on the data of Rosstat. Accordingly, in our opinion, the topic of our research is very relevant, since inflationary processes have a strong impact on all spheres of life and require the development of certain measures to create a sustainable system of anti-inflationary policy in the country.

Coyotes, cattle, and native prey in southwest Saskatchewan
Authors:   , Jackson Shayla
Published: December 2023

Native grasslands are home to a disproportionate share of species at risk, and typically consist of a mosaic of ranchland and protected parkland. Livestock carcasses can attract coyotes and potentially subsidize the coyote population or increase depredation, which is a concern to ranchers in southwest Saskatchewan. A subsidized predator population may increase pressure on native prey species through apparent competition. In this thesis, I investigated the relationship between coyotes, cattle and native prey. In the second chapter, I used molecular methods to test how commonly coyotes consumed cattle and species at risk, and how geographic factors affected the presence of cattle versus deer in coyote diet. Deer and cattle were the most common food items. Scat containing cattle was typically found closer to a boneyard and the bison enclosure, whereas scat containing deer was typically further from a boneyard and the bison enclosure. Different individual coyotes may be consuming cattle versus deer and coyotes consuming cattle may show different travel behaviour than coyotes consuming native prey. However, I found no evidence that coyotes pose a direct threat to species at risk during the winter. In the third chapter, I observed coyotes during summer to test whether coyotes obtained direct and/or indirect benefits from cattle pastures, and how cows responded to the presence of coyotes. Coyotes hunted native prey and specifically ground squirrels more commonly than cattle, showing that they obtained indirect benefits from the use of cattle pastures. Cows responded to coyotes defensively, and although observations of coyotes approaching individual calves, rushing cow-calf herds, or harassing females for afterbirth were uncommon, these observations, combined with the coyotes’ scavenging from cattle carcasses, indicate that coyotes also benefit directly by consuming cattle or cattle by-products. Further work identifying individual coyotes would help to determine what proportion of the population is being subsidized by cattle and factors that might predispose individual coyotes to depredation.
