Assessment of provision with the transport network of the regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
Authors: Fedorova Alla , Savvinova Antonina , Zakharov Moisey
Published: October 2022

The article assesses the provision of the municipal districts of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) with a transport network. The importance of developing a backbone transport network on the territory of the Republic is noted. An assessment of transport provision was carried out at the level of municipalities (districts) using official statistics. As the main research method, a retrospective statistical analysis of the indicators of the development of the road network and the availability of it to the regions of the Republic was chosen: the length and density of public roads, coefficients for assessing the level of provision with the road network and transport. The Engel, Goltz, Uspensky coefficients as well as the indicator of the density of the road network were used as key indicators. With the use of this methodology, a quantitative assessment of the transport provision of the regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) was made. Based on the assessment and thematic maps created, territorial differences in the transport provision of the Republic were identified, and a typology was carried out at the municipal level. Six types of transport provision have been identified. The obtained results allowed us for following conclusions: the highest indicator of the provision of a transport network is characteristic of the territory of the city of Yakutsk, as it is the center of development of the region located at the intersection of the main transport highways and the center in the formation of the all-season supporting transport network of the Republic. The ranking of the territory, taking into account all coefficients, showed that the highest level of transport provision of the population will be characteristic of areas with industrial development and a well-developed road network. The average level is typical for most areas with year-round regional roads and winter roads. 60 % of the territory of the Republic has a level of provision with a transport network “below average” and “low”. The low level of transport security is typical for Arctic regions with a network of winter roads that do not have year-round regional roads.
Cartographic support of identification of natural and man-made sources of dissolved matter in lake Baikal basin
Authors: Semenov Yury , Silayev Anton , Semenov Mikhail
Published: October 2022

A method of GIS mapping was developed to identify and assess the contributions of sources of matter to the composition of surface waters. The basis for the creation of the GIS database was the results of the study of the spatial diversity of the chemical composition of surface waters. Geoinformation analysis included the creation of a digital framework for mapping, vectorization of mapping sources and Earth remote sensing materials, creation of a single database combining cartographic, statistical information and field observation materials, morphometric relief analysis based on a digital relief model, creating a landscape basis for base maps, creating thematic maps, analyzing changes in the components of geosystems, creating electronic cartographic layers allowing to identify participation of solute sources in formation of water composition. The analysis of component changes was based on the results of different-time studies of the composition of water and bottom sediments. Based on the comparison of the chemical composition of the waters of the Baikal tributaries with the chemical and mineralogical composition of rocks, an approach was developed to identify sources of solute and assess their contributions to the formation of macro- and microelement compositions of surface waters. To solve the problems of the study, methods of statistical analysis of data, multicomponent mixing using systems of linear equations, field methods of data collection were used. Three main categories of solute sources (silicate, sulfide-containing silicate, carbonate rocks) were identified and their contributions to the chemical composition of water were calculated. On the basis of microelement tracers, the contributions of silicate rocks were divided into contributions of primary and secondary silicate rocks, ore-containing silicate rocks without sulfides were isolated. By comparing the ratios of concentrations of trace elements in the waters of uncontaminated territories and wastewater of enterprises, tracers were identified that made it possible to identify sources of surface water pollution. Maps of territories that determine a certain chemical composition of surface waters were compiled, which was first classified on the basis of the ratio of the contributions of drained rocks.

Authors: Aleksandrov Vasilij , Prohorova Elena
Published: October 2022

The article presents the results of a study of the state and features of the transport in the Tver region with an emphasis on public transport; determination of the necessary characteristics for their representation in the transport networks database of the region. The study of the spatial organization of regional transport systems is necessary to improve the level and quality of life of the population, since passenger transport and its variation—public transport, provides all categories of citizens with services for movement between settlements both within the region and between neighboring ones. The article deals with issues related to the selection and systematization of information, the choice of indicators for presentation in the created database of spatial data of individual road network objects and their characteristics that meet the selection criteria. Additional attention is paid to the creation of a series of maps of the intensity and carrying capacity of public transport in the Tver region on the basis of the generated database. The information visualized on the maps represents only reliable and up-to-date data on transport facilities and may be useful in developing scenarios for the transport development of the territory. The information basis of the maps are cartographic sources and official statistics, as well as data obtained as a result of an independently performed detailed study and field survey of the region. The work carried out on the selection and formalization of the initial thematic spatial information made it possible to accumulate the necessary experience and form the basic principles for development of transport databases for other subjects of Russia as well. The main goal in this case is to provide the consumer with as much information as possible about the transport system of the region. In this study special attention was paid to public transport.
Integration of communicative and geographical approaches in media-ecological research (by the example of the analysis of the largest newspapers from Russia, China and Japan)
Authors: Kokhanova Ljudmila , Golovko Sergey , Kharybin Eugeny , Chereshneva Ulia , Gribok Marina
Published: October 2022

The article announces a new concept of media ecology as a scientific field of research within the framework of the paradigm of mediatization of the information space. The term “media ecology” is already used in science, but in a different conceptual meaning. The authors conducted its detuning from existing analogues at the terminological level, specified the field of scientific research of media ecology, designated its thematic field, defined methodological and theoretical bases and research tools. The possibility of using geographical and geoinformation research methods within the framework of the proposed concept is indicated. Examples of maps and geographical studies on media-ecological topics are given. The results of a pilot study on the analysis of empirical material by methods and tools of media ecology on the example of the largest newspaper publications of the three countries are also presented. These are “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” (edition of the Government of the Russian Federation), “Zhenmin Zhibao” (Publication of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China) and “Asahi Shimbun” (national newspaper of Japan). The study was conducted according to the method of communicative five-stage analysis with elements of comparative geographical analysis. The article contains an examination of the peculiarities of the environmental policy of the three countries, a comparative analysis of the format of publications and a frequency analysis of archives posted on the websites of publications. The authors also compared the traffic to the websites of publications and the average reading time of materials, analyzed the features of feedback and communication with readers. Conclusions are drawn about the degree of effectiveness of the communicative impact of the publications under consideration on the audience. The highest efficiency was found in the Japanese newspaper “Asahi Shimbun”, the average—in the “Russian newspaper”, and the lowest—in the Chinese “Zhenmin Zhibao”.

Authors: Badina Svetlana , Pankratov Alexey
Published: October 2022

The article presents an analysis of the prospects for infrastructure support for large investment projects in the mining industry on the coastal territory of the Northern Sea Route (those projects that should provide its cargo base in the long term). A value estimate was made for the transport infrastructure, which should appear before 2030. Its total value, according to calculations, is about 0.5 trillion rubles in 2021 prices. Of these, about 370 billion rubles related to the territory of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and 160 billion rubles—to the Krasnoyarsk krai. The following key infrastructure projects were analyzed: the construction of the “Utrenny” liquefied natural gas and stable gas condensate terminal in the Sabetta seaport, the construction of the Northern Latitudinal Railway, the construction of the Bovanenkovo-Sabetta railway, the construction of oil and coal terminals in the seaport Dixon, reconstruction of the Tiksi and Pevek seaports. The results obtained are necessary for predicting damages from natural hazards caused by climate change. The study analyzed the key trends in the construction industry, the dynamics of investments in fixed assets and fixed assets (primarily by the type of activity “Transportation and storage”) in the territory of the key region that forms the cargo base of the Northern Sea Route—the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The analysis showed that the intensive dynamics characteristic of the fixed assets of the territory under consideration does not allow forecasting potential damage from climate change based on current data, but requires an assessment of the fixed assets value by the middle of the 21st century.
School Feeding in the Republic of Belarus
Authors: Guzik Elena О.
Published: October 2022

Introduction: The relevance of providing healthy nutrition for school-age children, a significant coverage of students with school meals, and an increase in the proportion of children requiring correction of the diet have determined the objective of the study to evaluate school feeding and to substantiate further measures for its improvement.
Materials and methods: Twenty-six regulations on school meals adopted from the year 2000 to the present have been analyzed. The study of the eating schedule and the frequency of consumption of certain foodstuffs was carried out based on a survey of 1,975 parents and schoolchildren in grades 5 to 11. The energy value, the content of vitamins and minerals in school breakfasts and home meals of 1,168 fifth graders from the city of Minsk were estimated.
Results: The findings show that regulations on school meals have been developed in the republic; dietary nutrition is organized at schools, the material and technical base of school kitchens is constantly being improved, and children are being taught healthy eating skills. At the same time, the analysis of actual nutrition at school and at home indicates malnutrition causing an imbalance in the dietary intake of macro- and micronutrients.
Discussion: An effective model of school feeding has been created in the Republic of Belarus. Yet, the current system cannot fully ensure a balanced diet for children. It is therefore important to continue personnel training, monitoring of school meals using modern information technologies, and awareness raising on healthy eating among schoolchildren.
THE SPECIFIC OF THE TRANSLATION OCCASIONAL WORDS IN THE ENGLISH-LITERARY DISCOURSE
Authors: Melkaeva R.V.
Published: October 2022

We have analyzed the ways of translating occasional words in the English-literary discourse. In our research we use the methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis, comparative method and contextual analysis. The aim of the research is to determine the specifics of the translation of occasional words and to confirm or refute the productive or unproductive forms of the formation of occasionalisms. As a result of the research, the author came to the conclusion that the occasional words have some difficulties for translation. To translate occasionalisms the translator should know the translation techniques, know the features of the word-formation model and also have a lateral thinking and creative abilities. Analyzing our research we come to conclusion that translators use calques (50%) as a productive model. However, other translation techniques were also used: transcription, transliteration, semantic neologism and functional equivalent.

TWO “NOVELS”: METAMORPHOSE OF “SMILE” AND “MOCK” IN “OBLOMOV” BY I.A. GONCHAROV
Authors: Mosaleva G.V.
Published: October 2022

The article compares two plotlines connected with Olga Ilyinskaya and Agafya Pshenitsyna. The storylines of “smile” and “mock” are researched through the perspective of the category of the comic within Goncharov’s novel. The paper deals with the phenomenon of duality as far as Olga Ilyinskaya”s “smile” is concerned: on the one hand the “smile” is regarded as a symbol of Western culture (one can see smile on the face of Olga for the first time in connection with Shtolts), on the other hand the “smile” appears as a symbol of Olga’s love for Oblomov, love of the world of “own”. Olga’s “smile” is polysemantic: it is associated with book, life and love. The disillusion of her marriage with Oblomov leads to the transformation of her smile as her smile is replaced and subdued by “mock” and “tears”. Dramatic final of the love story of Olga and Oblomov is regarded in metaphysical context as a betrayal of her destination, refusal from her genuine Groom. As a requital of her destination Olga loses her “childish laughter” and “smile”. Discussing the plotline of Agafya Matveevna’s “mock” the author highlights backward movement: from “mock” to “smile”, from automatic life to spiritual transformation of life. The reader appreciates the “mock” of Pshenitsyna as a mystery suggested by the writer. The article considers different meanings of emergence of Agafya’s “mock”: as a sign of chastity of her soul, as a sign of simplicity, humbleness and meakness. While comparing two heroines the author marks the difference between their cultural references: the image of Olga Ilyinskaya is aestheticized and romanticized while on the contrary the image of Agafya Pshenitsina deaestheticized and deepened. The author emphasizes dynamics of the image of Olga and static nature of the image of Agafya Matveevna. As a result the first image tends towards picturesqueness and the second one leans towards iconicity. In the final part of the novel Olga’s “smile” and Agafya’s “mock” are dissolved in tears for Oblomov, which makes readers experience some tender emotions.
FICTIONALITY AND INTROSPECTION: TO THE POETICS OF DETECTIVE TEXT
Authors: Florya A.V.
Published: October 2022

A. Christie set a goal for herself: to create an ideal detective story that cannot be solved. However, she unsuccessfully combined two genres: a detective story, which is based on functionality, and a psychological novel, in which introspection plays an important role. As a result, both genres disintegrate, and the reader can unravel the mystery of the detective already at the beginning of the novel.

Authors: Kyutt A.A.
Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the thorough study of the inaugural address as a genre of public speeches on the material of the Brazilian political discourse. The political discourse of Brazil, unlike the discourse in English, German or other languages, has so far not attracted due attention of researchers, and the present paper is intended to fill the lacuna. The work presents the results of analysis of speeches of this genre of four Brazilian presidents: J. Sarney, L. da Silva, D. Rousseff and J. Bolsonaro. The article describes typical features and elements inherent in the genre of inaugural adress as a whole, the fundamental characteristic of which is its ritual character. A comparison of the speeches of the politicians chosen by the author for the study, despite the similarity of their content and the identity of the thematic blocks, gives an idea of the linguistic features and speech strategies of each particular president.

ABOUT THE DIFFICULTIES OF TEACHING IRANIAN STUDENTS IN RUSSIAN VERBS OF MOTION
Authors: Zahraee S.H. , Madayeni A. , Tekkeh B.
Published: October 2022

Moving in space and its expression in speech is one of the linguistic universals that are expressed in different ways in languages. Interlanguage differences lead to the creation of difficulties in the study of verbs of motion in a foreign audience and cause any errors. The communicative significance of the verbs of motion is extremely high. They are used in communication at all stages of training. Learning the prefixed verbs of motion greatly expands the potential vocabulary of learners. In the Iranian audience, the topic of “verbs of motion of the Russian language” causes significant difficulties. This article is devoted to the study of the difficulties faced by Iranian students in teaching the verbs of motion in the Russian language. The subject of the research is the verbs of motion of the Russian language. Descriptive and comparative methods of linguistic research are used in the work.
L’ideoscape della Catalogna. Percezione del movimento indipendentista catalano tramite una ricerca geo-visuale
Authors: Brocada Lorenzo
Published: October 2022

La Comunità Autonoma della Catalogna è situata fra il Mar Mediterraneo e la catena montuosa dei Pirenei nel nord della Penisola Iberica. Negli ultimi anni la regione è stata teatro di tensioni politiche a causa della crescita del movimento indipendentista che ha portato nel 2017 alla dichiarazione unilaterale di indipendenza dal Regno di Spagna proclamata, ma non ottenuta, dall’allora governatore della Generalitat de Catalunya Carles Puigdemont in seguito a un referendum.

Questo studio si propone di analizzare la percezione del movimento indipendentista catalano attraverso l’ideoscape rilevato tramite l’applicazione di metodologie di ricerca visuale alla geografia politica. In dettaglio, sono state scattate fotografie sul campo, inserite in un database e geolocalizzate in una carta multimediale online tramite la versione open-source di ArcGis. In seguito è stata svolta un’analisi quali-quantitativa e semiotica del database fotografico.
A Sud c’è sempre il sole. Storie di Pensionati italiani in Tunisia
Authors: Iorio Monica
Published: October 2022

L’allungamento della vita, il desiderio di invecchiare in modo attivo e di proiettarsi in una nuova esistenza, dedicando finalmente tempo a sé stessi, alle relazioni interpersonali, possibilmente in un posto al sole, i voli low cost, la defiscalizzazione delle pensioni presente in alcuni paesi, la crisi economica che coinvolge l’Italia da oltre un decennio sono solo alcuni dei molti fattori che influiscono sugli spostamenti effettuati dai pensionati italiani nel recente periodo. Questo contributo analizza la migrazione dei pensionati italiani in Tunisia con l’obiettivo di far luce sulle cause di questi spostamenti e sul bilancio delle loro vite nel paese dei gelsomini che, storicamente, ha accolto un’importante comunità di italiani. In linea con altri studi che indagano le migrazioni dei pensionati in altre aree del mondo, il contributo dimostra che i flussi dei pensionati italiani verso la Tunisia, in particolare verso le sue città costiere, si inseriscono in un movimento migratorio Nord-Sud che si realizza alla scala globale e che sfrutta opportunamente la geografia dei divari economici, del costo della vita e della libertà di movimento al fine di trascorrere la terza età in modo attivo e agiato.
Dall’industria alle comunità locali: una ipotesi di ecomuseo nel Golfo di Augusta
Authors: Petino Gianni , Ruggiero Luca
Published: October 2022

I processi di sviluppo dall’era post-bellica sino ai giorni nostri hanno decretato direttrici economiche che, considerando il territorio tra Augusta e Siracusa come una carta bianca e uniforme che poteva essere riscritta, hanno ingenerato esternalità negative a tutto tondo, di cui solo la vertiginosa crescita della ricchezza pro-capite ha potuto giustificare la cieca deriva. Nel momento in cui la ricchezza diminuisce e la disoccupazione si palesa, a causa del manifestarsi di iniziali ma inequivocabili processi di deindustrializzazione, ha luogo la sfida del recupero dell’identità e della scelta di percorsi alternativi di sviluppo del territorio. È in questo scenario che l’ipotesi della costituzione di un ecomuseo può essere considerata strategica nel consegnare il potere di scelta, per far fronte agli iniziali scenari di crisi, alle comunità locali per consentire loro di reinterpretare il territorio e le relative dotazioni come possibile alternativa di sviluppo.
Finanza sostenibile e banche centrali. Nuovi attori per una geografia finanziaria in evoluzione.
Authors: Simonetti Lucia
Published: October 2022

All’interno di uno scenario in mutamento, in bilico tra crisi climatica e crisi pandemica, e aggravato dai recenti eventi bellici, le banche centrali sono andate ritagliandosi nuovi margini di azione in favore di una ecologizzazione della politica monetaria. Il contributo si propone di indagare sul nuovo ruolo di queste istituzioni al fine di determinare la portata concreta degli effetti della loro azione sul clima, tenendo conto delle possibili contraddizioni, in particolare in relazione al rispetto del principio della neutralità di mercato. A tal fine, viene innanzitutto proposta una rassegna essenziale della letteratura sulla geografia finanziaria, in cui si cerca di coniugare il concetto di sostenibilità con quello di finanza. Successivamente, viene esaminato il concetto di rischio climatico nella finanza e l’impegno della BCE in relazione alla diffusione della conoscenza e al reporting dei rischi. Se il rischio climatico fosse prezzato adeguatamente, infatti, le attività e le imprese più esposte risulterebbero meno apprezzate, indirizzando il sistema finanziario verso una maggiore sostenibilità. In tale situazione, le banche centrali potrebbero perseguire la neutralità di mercato senza allontanare il sistema economico dalla neutralità carbonica.
Prime riflessioni su modalità, percorsi e nuovi spazi di cooperazione per garantire l’apprendimento permanente di giovani e adulti
Authors: Porcarelli Cristiana
Published: October 2022

Se l’orientamento europeo appare quantomai centrato sulla persona e sulla sua unicità anche in termini di sviluppo delle competenze e di opportunità formative, di pari passo si stanno sviluppando nuovi e sempre più interconnessi spazi di apprendimento che implicano il coinvolgimento di varie tipologie di attori, diversi livelli di governance, di partnership pubblico/privato e di una rinnovata attenzione al territorio. Interventi co-progettati e multi-attoriali (scuola, famiglia, organizzazioni del Terzo settore, privato sociale, istituzioni pubbliche) sembrano sempre più necessari ma con peculiari caratteristiche di flessibilità e adeguatezza al territorio di riferimento. Inoltre, il miglioramento della qualità della vita nei centri urbani passa quasi obbligatoriamente attraverso la cultura e l'educazione e varie sono le iniziative focalizzate su questi temi a partire dal programma dell’UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities. In questa prospettiva anche la scuola si rinnova e anela a diventare un learning hub attraverso peculiari accordi denominati “Patti educativi di comunità” che rappresentano un esempio di buona pratica caratterizzato da un approccio orientato alla co-progettazione e alla valorizzazione della dimensione territoriale.

If the European orientation appears to be focused on people also from the point of view of skills development and training opportunities, at the same time new and increasingly interconnected learning spaces are being developed with the consequent involvement of various types of actors, different levels of governance, public private partnerships as well as a renewed attention to the territory. Co-designed and multi-actor interventions (school, family, third sector organizations, private social, public institutions) are more and more necessary but with characteristics of flexibility and adequacy to territorial needs. In addition, the improvement of the quality life within urban centres must go through culture and education; there are various initiatives focused on these issues starting from the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities program. In this perspective, the school also renews itself and yearns to become a learning hub through specific agreements called "Community agreements for education" which represent an example of good practice characterized by a co-planning approach and the enhancement of the territorial dimension.

Published: October 2022

Per affrontare l’attuale policrisi e costruire un nuovo equilibrio uomo-natura, la scuola si fa palestra di conoscenze altre, aprendo le proprie pareti a esperienze incentrate sulla sostenibilità ambientale e rivolte alla capacità di pensiero sistemico, trasformativo e resiliente dei futuri cittadini. Le limitazioni dovute alla pandemia da COVID-19 hanno ancor più evidenziato quanto il rapporto con gli spazi verdi sia importante in termini di salute psico-fisica e qualità dell’abitare. L’articolo presenta un’esperienza di co-design, sviluppata con un approccio interdisciplinare, che ha coinvolto gli studenti del Liceo Scienze Umane G. Galilei di Firenze nella ri-progettazione degli spazi aperti scolastici esplorando le tematiche dell’Outdoor education. L’iniziativa appartiene al progetto “Comunità Scolastiche Sostenibili” coordinato dal Laboratorio Didattico Ambientale del Parco Mediceo di Pratolino (Città Metropolitana di Firenze) in convenzione con il Centro per l’UNESCO di Firenze.

 

To face the current polycrisis and build a new human-nature balance, the school becomes a training ground for other knowledge, opening its walls to experiences focused on environmental sustainability and aimed at the systemic, transformative and resilient thinking skills of future citizens. The restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have further highlighted the importance of the community's relationship with green spaces in terms of mental and physical health and quality of living. The article presents a co-design experience, developed with an interdisciplinary approach, that has involved the “G. Galilei” High School students in Florence in the re-design of school open spaces exploring the themes of Outdoor education. The initiative belongs to the project “Sustainable School Communities” coordinated by the Environmental Didactic Laboratory of the Medici Park of Pratolino (Metropolitan City of Florence) in agreement with the UNESCO Centre of Florence.
Scuole all’aperto di ieri e di oggi.
Authors: Dessì Valentina
Published: October 2022

L’esperienza delle open-air school ci ricorda che lo spazio esterno di pertinenza della scuola, se progettato assieme all’edificio, diventa parte integrante dell’attività didattica, come evidenziato nei primi due casi studio riportati, la Casa del Sole e la Rinnovata Pizzigoni entrambe a Milano. Per troppi anni si è persa la consapevolezza della risorsa spazio-esterno-scolastico. Fortunatamente sempre più comunità scolastiche sono coinvolte nella realizzazione di spazi attrezzati nei cortili, convinte che la didattica a contatto con la natura offra opportunità di stimolo per tutti gli studenti che apprendono fin da piccoli il rispetto per la natura. Gli esempi riportati della scuola Marymount di Roma e Dante Alighieri a Milano ci fanno ragionare su come valorizzare lo spazio esterno a disposizione attraverso l’individuazione di nuove funzioni e il lavoro sulle superfici e le attrezzature.
Strade scolastiche: pensare la scuola nella città
Authors: Belingardi Chiara
Published: October 2022

Via Bixio è la strada dove è ubicata la scuola Di Donato a Roma. La scuola è molto grande (l’edificio contiene un nido, due scuole dell’infanzia – una statale e una comunale – e una primaria) e di conseguenza la strada su cui insistono i cancelli di ingresso e uscita è molto frequentata.

La pedonalizzazione della strada antistante i due cancelli principali della scuola è una delle ultime conquiste dell’Associazione Genitori e dell’istituto scolastico. Tuttavia, come si vedrà, è una conquista tutt'altro che definitiva e pacificata, per quanto simbolica di come l’azione educativa e comunitaria possa eccedere luoghi e tempi dati per fare salti di scala.

L’articolo intende portare un contributo al tema della “città a misura di bambine e bambini” e della scuola come punto di partenza per la creazione di spazi di prossimità a partire dalla pedonalizzazione di via Bixio, avvenuta in via sperimentale nel 2021 con un orizzonte temporale che arriva a giugno 2022. Partendo da una comunità scolastica molto forte e attiva, si è arrivati nel tempo a usare gli spazi della scuola come spazi pubblici comunitari, ad ampliare l’azione dal cortile alla strada, avendo come orizzonte di lungo periodo l’intero quartiere. Entrambi gli spazi diventano dispositivi abilitanti per la costruzione di relazioni mutualistiche, di accoglienza e animazione sociale. La rivendicazione dello spazio per il benessere di bambini e bambine (un luogo sicuro per entrata e uscita, uno spazio per il gioco libero) si concretizza in un luogo il cui orizzonte si amplia dall’isolato e dall’infanzia per rivolgersi ad ampio raggio agli e alle abitanti e al quartiere in generale. La prima parte dell’articolo intende dare una cornice a partire dal dibattito italiano sulle scuole come struttura comunitaria e dispositivo strategico e sulle sperimentazioni in corso. La seconda parte dell’articolo illustra il caso della scuola Di Donato, in particolare raccontando l'esperienza della pedonalizzazione della strada ed è frutto di un’osservazione partecipante. Le conclusioni intendono proporre alcune riflessioni alla luce del caso descritto.
Transquaternions
Authors: Reis Tiago Soares dos , Anderson James A.D.W.
Published: October 2022

The quaternions extend the complex numbers and are used in physics and engineering. Division of quaternions by zero is not defined, which limits physical theories and engineering applications. We now introduce transquaternions, which totalise the arithmetical operations of quaternion addition, subtraction, multiplication, and both left and right division. In particular, division of quaternions by zero is allowed.
The transquaternions are homeomorphic to the unit hypersphere or glome, including its interior, together with an isolated point. The 4D interior of the hypersphere is made up of the ordinary quaternions. The 3D surface of the hypersphere is made up of the infinite transquaternions, which are produced by dividing non-zero quaternions by zero. The isolated point, that lies outside the 4D space containing the hypersphere, is the transquaternion nullity, which is produced by dividing zero by zero.
Transquaternions are a separable compact complete metric topological space.
Distribution Of The Breast Lesions Based On The Mammogram Scoring Among Different Age Groups
Authors: Mohammed Safiya , Mirza Hussain Alaa
Published: October 2022

Background: The mammary glands are prone to various lesions, either benign or malignant, many of benign types that can mature to malignant if untreated. The breast glandular structure can undergo changes from puberty to pregnancy and menopause due to hormonal effects, so the type of lesion occurrence among women varies depending on the age.

Aims: This study aimed to identify if there is an association between age and BIRADS classification and/ or association between age and type of lesions.

Methods: One hundred women from the city of Kirkuk participated in this study; they underwent mammography screening for detecting breast lesions. The relationship between age and mammography screening classification has been analyzed.

Results: There is a significant association between age and BIRADS, and the age over 40 year was more frequent in most scores of BIRADS classification. In addition the number of patients with breast lesions in both BIRADS-3 and BIRADS-4 increased significantly with age. On the other hand, there is no significant association between age and types of breast lesion.  

Conclusion: There is significant association between age and BIRADS.
