Authors: Fomin A. M. , Novoselya P. A.
Published: September 2024

The results of regional geological exploration at the expense of the federal budget in the territory of the Angara–Lena oil and gas region from 2006 to 2017 are analyzed. Based on a comprehensive interpretation of data from geophysical surveys of wells and seismic surveys, relief maps of the roof of the Chora Formation, thicknesses and sandiness of the Parfenov gas-bearing horizon were updated. Based on the interpretation of a complex of GIS data, seismic exploration and deep drilling, a conclusion was made about the nature of the change in the sand content of the Parfenov gas-bearing horizon.
Assessment of heat flow in the northern part of the Indigiro– Zyryansky trough (Yakutia)
Authors: Duchkov A. D. , Sivtsev A. I. , Ayunov D. E.
Published: September 2024

An approximate estimation of the heat flow value was performed for three deep parametric wells drilled in the northern part of the Indigiro-Zyryansky trough. Boreholes have uncovered Paleogene and Upper Jurassic rocks. Geothermal gradients were calculated from the temperature values at the lower boundary of the cryolithozone (0 ºC) and at the downhole. The thermal conductivity of rocks was roughly estimated from published data. The calculated heat flow on the Indigirskaya area is on average 70 mW/m2 . The values of heat flow values were recorded in the previously studied neighboring areas. Thus, the heat flow estimate obtained by the authors in the Indigiro-Zyryansky trough correspond fully to the available data on the heat flow level in this region of East Yakutia.

Authors: Araújo Sérvio Túlio Cavalcanti
Published: September 2024

A reciclagem da água é uma ótima solução para reduzir os impactos da escassez hídrica e para preservar os níveis dos mananciais. Este artigo busca avaliar o panorama atual desse tema no Brasil, destacando os avanços, desafios e perspectivas futuras. Nesse sentido, sabe-se que os avanços tecnológicos e as políticas públicas têm impulsionado a implementação de sistemas de tratamento de efluentes, auxiliando a redução do consumo de água potável e a preservação dos recursos hídricos. Entretanto, a falta de infraestrutura adequada, a gestão ineficiente e a ausência de conscientização da população representam desafios significativos a serem superados. Desse modo, educação ambiental, inovação, pesquisas, investimentos contínuos e aperfeiçoamento dos sistemas de tratamento são necessários para consolidar e expandir a reciclagem da água, de maneira a buscar o desenvolvimento sustentável do Brasil.
Consequências da inexistência do chamado "Ciclo Completo" de Polícia no Brasil
Authors: Braga da Silva José Vicente
Published: September 2024

Este artigo investiga a natureza do “ciclo completo” de polícia e as consequências de sua não implantação no sistema policial brasileiro. Demonstra a ineficiência desse sistema, com duas polícias estaduais que não fazem o “ciclo completo” de polícia, e destaca o Termo Circunstanciado de Ocorrência como princípio de um “ciclo completo” de polícia. O artigo analisa, também, as taxas de homicídios no mundo e o clearance rate de homicídios, a fim de verificar a eficiência do sistema policial de cada país. Os resultados indicam que o Brasil apresenta altas taxas de homicídio e que seu sistema com duas polícias sem o “ciclo completo” parece contribuir para essas taxas elevadas. Além disso, fica evidente, a partir do resultado dos homicide clearance rates, que a não existência do “ciclo completo de polícia” induz as baixas taxas de homicide clearance rates do sistema policial brasileiro. Por fim, após a análise do fluxo de atendimento de ocorrências, apresentam-se sugestões para a implantação do “ciclo completo de polícia” no Brasil.
Dinâmica espaço-temporal (1986-2020) de manguezais de RESEX da Foz do rio Pará (Amazônia oriental, Brasil)
Authors: Peixoto Herbert Junior Campos , El Robrini Maamar
Published: September 2024

As zonas costeiras tropicais são áreas complexas em constante transformação. Notáveis por suas características adaptativas, os manguezais desempenham papel fundamental nessas áreas. A Zona Costeira Paraense abriga a maior e mais bem preservada área de manguezais do Brasil, onde estão inseridas reservas extrativistas (RESEX) de uso sustentável. Este artigo objetiva analisar a variabilidade espaço-temporal de manguezais inseridos nas RESEX de Mocapajuba e de São João da Ponta. A metodologia consistiu na aquisição e no tratamento de imagens do satélite Landsat e de dados ambientais (temperatura de superfície do mar e material particulado em suspensão) no período de 1986 e 2020. As áreas de mangue sofreram variações. Entretanto, pouco foi alterado dentro das RESEX. Apesar da expansão urbana, as maiores alterações ocorreram em áreas externas às RESEX. As condições ambientais locais permitem que os manguezais mantenham-se em equilíbrio. Porém, a urbanização desordenada pode trazer prejuízos, caso não haja medidas mitigatórias efetivas.
Amazônia brasileira e sua inserção na agenda de Desenvolvimento Nacional: um modelo neocolonialista nacional
Authors: Lobão Mário Sérgio Pedroza , Waquil Paulo Dabdab
Published: September 2024

Objetivou-se discutir a inserção da Amazônia brasileira na agenda de desenvolvimento nacional, no período entre 1946 e 1985. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, de cunho exploratório e como procedimento de coleta de dados a pesquisa documental e bibliográfica. Analisou-se os planos nacionais de desenvolvimento, legislações e referenciais teóricos atinentes à temática, no período em questão. Ficou constatado que a inserção da Amazônia brasileira na agenda de desenvolvimento nacional foi pautada por um modelo espoliador dos recursos naturais, socialmente excludente e que serviu para atender os anseios do grande capital nacional e internacional, principalmente como fornecedora de matérias primas ao Centro-Sul do país. Além disso, serviu como válvula de escape à pressão agrária que assolava a realidade brasileira, a partir de projetos de colonização induzida, bem como não havia nenhuma preocupação com a problemática ambiental. Efetivamente, tratou-se de uma espécie de neocolonialismo nacional no sentido colônia (Amazônia) - metrópole (Centro-sul do país).

Análise comparativa da sustentabilidade de agroecossistemas familiares em transição agroecológica e convencionais (Canutama/Amazonas)
Authors: Nunes dos Santos Jéssica Cristian , Da Costa Francimara Souza , Rebêlo George Henrique
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo operacionaliza-se sobre o termo sustentabilidade, objetivando avaliar a sustentabilidade dos agroecossistemas do Projeto de Assentamento São Francisco, no sul  do município de Canutama, Amazonas, comparando as atividades realizadas entre aqueles que estão em transição agroecológica e os que utilizam práticas do sistema convencional. O estudo foi conduzido em 16 agroecossistemas familiares, analisando a sustentabilidade por meio do método IDEA, a partir do comparativo entre as dimensões agroecológica, socioterritorial e econômica, considerando sistemas de produção agrícola convencional e em transição  agroecológica. Encontrou-se níveis aproximados na sustentabilidade dos dois grupos. A dimensão agroecológica obteve os maiores percentuais nos dois grupos, enquanto a dimensão socioterritorial foi o fator limitante nos dois sistemas de produção. Observou-se que a ideia de sustentabilidade precisa ser ampliada entre os assentados e o método utilizado precisa de adaptações para aplicação em condições amazônicas.

Authors: Ribeiro Aldo Vieira
Published: September 2024

A expansão da commodity soja cresceu no Brasil nos últimos 20 anos, notadamente na região do MATOPIBA que inclui o Sul do Piauí. Este artigo analisa a interação complexa entre o consenso em favor da produção de commodities, a temática do desenvolvimento, o monocultivo de soja e os conflitos socioambientais no Sul do Piauí. Trata-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental de natureza qualitativa ancorada no método descritivo em diálogo com a Sociologia Decolonial Latino-americana. A análise indica que o consenso em torno da commodity soja no Sul do Piauí, ao revés, do que pregam as narrativas (neo)extrativistas, ameaçam a subsistência das comunidades tradicionais que vivem na região desencadeando violentos conflitos socioambientais, desmatamento, queimadas e a contaminação da água e do solo.
Safe and environmentally friendly daily use of clean-energy electromagnetic devices
Authors: Razek Adel
Published: September 2024

The daily well-being of modern humanity is closely linked to the use of different devices operating through different sources of energy conversion. Electromagnetic energy obtained from the conversion of clean energy is one of the most used in devices in this context. The use of these devices reflects the expected results, often accompanied by unwanted side effects. These undesirable side effects correspond to the interaction of artificial electromagnetic radiation with living tissues of biodiversity (One Health concept). The corresponding living tissues are related to humans, animals (domestic and wild), birds, plants, etc., and more generally to biodiversity, including the ecosystem. Therefore, these harmful effects could be reduced by intelligent and sustainable construction and protection (Responsible Attitude concept) of these devices. This article aimed to illustrate the implication of the concepts of One Health and Responsible Attitude in the management of the daily use of wireless communication tools with electromagnetic energy, as well as power transfer devices. The two concepts were first discussed. The biological effects on living tissues due to exposure to electromagnetic field radiation were analyzed in the case of humans, animals and plants. The different characteristics of the radiated field and exposed tissues influencing these effects, as well as the governing laws and mathematical modeling of the effects, were examined. Additionally, the means for protecting living tissues from electromagnetic radiation were inspected. The analyses pursued in this article were supported by examples taken from the literature.
The choice of a method for restoring coronary blood flow in myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation (literature review)
Authors: Belikov A. N. , Poselyugina O. B. , Lyubov N. K.
Published: September 2024

In the structure of total mortality, cardiovascular diseases are in the first place in the world. The main and most common reason for this is the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI). The basis of the pathogenesis of MI with ST elevation is persistent and complete thrombotic occlusion of the large epicardial branch of the coronary artery, leading to extensive necrosis of the heart muscle with the development of life-threatening complications, including death, the frequency of which is 8–10 %. The prognosis for MI is influenced by the presence of risk factors, complications, hemodynamic status, polymorbidity, as well as tactics for restoring coronary blood flow. To eliminate acute coronary artery occlusion, conservative treatment is used – thrombolytic therapy, surgical – primary percutaneous intervention, thromboextraction, coronary bypass surgery, as well as their combination. Today, there are scattered and isolated studies characterizing the approach to treatment in patients with MI with ST elevation in various diseases and with polymorbid pathology, the relationship with risk factors and laboratory and instrumental data has not been established, among which predictors of rapid response and death in patients with polymorbid pathology for emergency physicians have not been determined. It can be assumed that the chosen optimal patient management tactics in a specific clinical situation, taking into account the above-mentioned factors, will reduce the development of complications and increase the survival rate of patients with MI.
Contradictions in traditional ideas about atherosclerosis and the efficacy of lipid-lowering therapy. Promising directions
Authors: Vasiliev A. P. , Streltsova N. N.
Published: September 2024

The review presents contradictory results from numerous clinical and epidemiological studies, giving reason to doubt the indisputability of ideas about the primary role of low-density lipoprotein (LP) cholesterol in atherogenesis and the efficacy of lipid-lowering therapy. The latter clearly demonstrates the absence of the expected clinical effect in reducing cholesterol levels after surgical correction of lipid metabolism (ileal bypass surgery) or a very modest effect when using drugs devoid of pleiotropic properties. This circumstance finds an explanation in the fact that, according to modern concepts, only modified LP are the molecular substrate of the pathophysiological process at all stages of atherosclerosis development. Native (intact) LP, the concentration of which in the blood does not correlate with the level of modified forms, are not included in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Consequently, the presence of native LP in the blood does not give a true picture of the activity of the atherosclerotic process. Based on the above, in the treatment of atherosclerosis, it should be considered justified not so much to further improve methods of lipid-lowering effects on the body, which do not have a sufficiently reliable evidence base of clinical effect, but to search for means that prevent the generation of atherogenic, modified LP. In this regard, taking into account the important role of systemic inflammation in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, the synthesis and clinical use of safe anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as the development and implementation of methods aimed at eliminating the causes of systemic inflammation, should be considered promising.

The impact of the new coronavirus COVID-19 infection on the course of pregnancy, maternal and child health is largely unclear and controversial. The presented literature review analyzes changes in the immune, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems in women in physiological pregnancy. The peculiarities of the course of infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus in pregnancy, depending on the virus variant, are presented, the issues of infection pathways into immune and non-immune cells, including placental cells, as well as the issues of transplacental transfer of the virus – the key moment of infection of the embryo or fetus, on which the outcome of pregnancy also largely depends, are considered. Promising approaches to COVID-19 therapy are presented: use of inhibitors of transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2), furin, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2) and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, amnion epithelial cells and their exosomes. At the same time, the potential use of mesenchymal stem cells in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia is reviewed. Difficulties and questions regarding the use of the above therapeutic methods in pregnant women are highlighted. Aspects of the use of surfactant preparations in newborns at risk of new coronavirus infection are considered.

Published: September 2024

An important section of spinal biomechanics is the analysis of various types of movements in spinal segments, which are difficult to observe, and setting up experiments is quite complex. There are few articles devoted to this topic, and the methodological approaches outlined in these studies are so heterogeneous that they do not allow for a comparative analysis. In this situation, the abstract language of mathematics allows us to objectively answer the questions that arise. Aim of the study was to develop a mathematical model of a spinal segment to calculate the combination of rotation angles and lateral inclination of the vertebra, as well as to identify factors influencing these parameters. Material and methods. The developed mathematical model of the motion segment of the spine was used as the main tool for the study. The initial data for this model were the coordinates of the reference points of the vertebrae, which makes it possible to determine a number of parameters describing their complex structure. Using this model, the parameters of the combination of vertebral movement in the frontal and horizontal planes were calculated. Results and discussion. The developed model of the combination of movements in the spinal segment is adequate to the ideas about the nature of movements in the spinal segments. The coefficient of combination of lateral tilt and rotation of the vertebra for the cervical vertebrae is from 0.5 to 0.7, for the thoracic vertebrae from 0.3 to 0.5, and for the lumbar vertebrae from 0.0 to 0.1. Fluctuations in the value of this coefficient depend on the angle of inclination of the upper articular surfaces of the underlying vertebra. Reducing the size of the articular surfaces leads to a decrease in the magnitude of the angular movements of the vertebra, and their convergence leads to an increase in mobility in the spinal segments. A negative angle of inclination of the articular surfaces causes opposite rotation of the vertebra.

The aim of the study is to assess the seasonal supply of vitamin D and biogenic amines to practically healthy women of working age living in Arkhangelsk. Material and methods. The study sample included 20 practically healthy women aged 22–44 years, permanently residing in Arkhangelsk. The study was conducted over 4 seasons: during the period of increasing (March), maximum (June), decreasing (September) and minimum daylight hours (December). The concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, serotonin, dopamine, adrenaline and noradrenaline in the blood were determined. Results. The annual dynamics of 25-hydroxyvitamin D level in the blood was established with its minimum content in the winter (December), followed by an increase in the vitamin concentration in the spring, the highest level during the period of maximum daylight hours (June) and a further decrease in the fall (September). During the period of minimum day length, the smallest proportion of people (15 %) with optimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration is observed, while more than half of women have insufficient level, and a quarter have vitamin D deficiency. Serotonin level decreased from spring to winter. The peak of dopamine concentration was recorded in the summer; the minimum content was recorded in the autumn. The minimum concentration of adrenaline and noradrenaline is noted in the spring; the maximum levels are in the winter. Conclusions. The most critical season for 25-hydroxyvitamin D content in women blood is the minimum duration of daylight hours’ period (December), while the more favorable season can be attributed to the maximum duration period (June) and a decrease in the duration of daylight hours (September). The annual 25-hydroxyvitamin D dynamics and serotonin levels have similar features, and seasonal changes in the adrenaline and noradrenaline concentration are in the opposite direction.

Published: September 2024

Currently, the issues of studying the quantitative assessment of the isolated effects of physical and chemical occupational factors of low intensity, severity and intensity of the labor process on the telomere relative length (TRL) are relevant in order to establish the mechanisms of development of premature aging. The aim is to evaluate the effect of isolated exposure to low–intensity physical and chemical occupational factors on the relative length of telomeres in an animal experiment. Material and methods. ICR mice (n = 65) are distributed in equal numbers into 3 test groups (exposure to vibration, noise, chemical exposure) and 1 control group (contained in comfortable conditions and not exposed to these factors). The duration of the experiment was 90 days, samples for DNA isolation from the striated muscle tissue of ICR mice thigh were taken on days 0, 30, 60 and 90. TRL was measured using real time PCR. Results and discussion. The results of the study indicate a significant shortening of TRL on the 90th day in the control group compared to the initial indicators, which may indicate the general processes of aging of animals. A long (90-day) stay of ICR mice in conditions simulating the isolated influence of various occupational hazard factors (vibration, noise, chemicals) operating at a level of 1.5 MAC, MPL, was accompanied by unidirectional dynamics of TRL. The chemical factor has the greatest impact on TDC (a decrease in TDT relative to the value of the control group is noted on the 30th, 60th and 90th days of the experiment), the physical factor causes a shortening of TDT after 60 and 90 days. Conclusions. Further study of the isolated influence of occupational factors on the TRL change in model organisms will contribute to the establishment of mechanisms that prevent the development of pathological processes in workers under conditions of production hazards.
Direct and indirect connections of androgen status with ejaculate parameters in men from infertile couples
Authors: Epanchintseva E. A. , Selyatitskaya V. G.
Published: September 2024

In men from infertile couples the serum level of total testosterone (tT) has been shown to vary widely. Is it possible to expect that there is an association of tT content with spermogram disorders in men from infertile couples? Aim of the study was to investigate the patterns of changes in the spermiological status of men from infertile couples depending on tT level in blood serum. Material and methods. Design – observational, retrospective, one-stage study. The analysis of medical histories of 358 men with infertility in marriage was carried out. The sample was divided into comparison groups according to tT level: group 1 – less than 12.1, group 2 – from 12.1 to 20.9, group 3 – 21.0 nmol/l or more. Results. From group 1 to group 3, tT content increases more than twice, as well as concentration of indicators related to the level of T – sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and free testosterone (fT). There are no significant differences in luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level, although there is a tendency to its increase from group 1 to group 3. From group 1 of men with androgen deficiency to group 3, not only body weight and body mass index (BMI), but also waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC), as well as the WC/HC index, characterizing the degree of abdominal obesity, decrease. The groups examined did not differ in the values of all studied ejaculate parameters. In group 1, a pronounced correlation between the content of tT and fT was found, in groups 2 and 3 – statistically significant inverse relationships between the level of Tob and the values of anthropometric indicators (body weight, BMI, WC and HC), as well as direct ones - with the concentration of SHBG, tT, LH and estradiol, in group 3 – with FSH levels. There were no correlations between tT content and spermogram indicators in any group of examined men. Conclusions. The results obtained suggest that only at high-normal level of testosterone in the blood it can have a stimulating effect on spermatogenesis. As a result of the accumulation of cases of androgenic deficiency in the population, the direct positive effect of serum testosterone on spermatogenesis is becomes insufficient for normal regulation, and the negative effect of testosterone deficiency on spermatogenesis, mediated through the accumulation of overweight and obesity comes to the fore.

Published: September 2024

Aim of the study was to quantify postprandial glucose levels in response to isocaloric protein load at main meals in men with different types of fat distribution. Material and methods. The study enrolled men aged 25 to 65 years. Group 1 (n = 17) consisted of obese men with subcutaneous fat distribution (SFD) type while group 2 (n = 16) was represented by obese men with abdominal type of fat distribution (AFD). Group 3 (comparators) consisted of 10 men with normal body weight (NBW). Glycemic response to standard isocaloric protein load was assessed by the results of glucose levels within 3 hours starting 5 minutes after end of food consumption on different days and mealtime. Standard protein lunch was introduced during the second day while standard protein dinner and breakfast were performed at the third and fourth days respectively. Results. It was found that protein intake leads to neither pronounced postprandial glycemic fluctuations nor decrease in glucose levels by the end of the 3rd hour of the test. Accordingly, it also doesn’t provoke hunger, unlike carbohydrate intake does. In men with NBW a more pronounced increase in glucose level after protein meal was found, both relative to the baseline levels and comparing with men from SFD and AFD groups. In NBW group at lunchtime and especially in the evening a double-humped glycemic curve was noted. Glycemic variability in men with different types of fat distribution was characterized by the fact that glycemic increment was more pronounced in men with AFD than in men with SFD whose glycemic curve was almost flat after all meals. Conclusions. Protein intake in men with NBW and different types of fat distribution does not lead to significant changes in postprandial glucose levels. Glycemic fluctuations don’t exceed 1 mmol/L within a 3-hour period after consuming of isocaloric breakfast, lunch or dinner. Protein intake results in greater postprandial glucose levels in men with AFD than in SFD men.

Material and methods. Analysis of data from patients at the Penza regional clinical hospital named after. N.N. Burdenko, with diseases of the abdominal organs, complicated by diffuse purulent peritonitis. During treatment, xenopericardial plates with perforations in a checkerboard pattern were used (hole diameter 0.5 cm). Disinfection of the material was carried out with a sterile solution of furacilin. Using the standard hematoxylin and eosin staining protocol, as well as alternative staining methods according to Van Gieson and Weigert, light-optical examination of stained sections was carried out at a magnification of 40–400 times. Results. In 8 out of 9 patients participating in the study, a favorable course of the inflammatory process was observed; on the 21st day after laparotomy, the symptoms of peritonitis were eliminated, the surgical wound was sutured. In one case, progression of local and general signs of peritonitis was observed within two weeks. After replacing the xenopericardial plate, the course of changes in the surgical wound was favorable. On day 21, the laparotomy wound was also sutured. Repeated examination of the biomaterial one year and two months after implantation of the xenopericardial plate into the anterior abdominal wall did not reveal signs of inflammation. Conclusions. The xenopericardium performed well in conditions of purulent inflammation and in most cases was not subject to melting. In the long term, biointegration of the xenopericardium into its own connective tissue occurred.

Published: September 2024

Aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the working population of the Saratov region and its relationship with medical and social factors and their combination. Material and methods. To assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, 3077 employees (average age 46.9 ± 9.39 years) were examined within the framework of a single-stage study based on the Saratov Hygiene Medical Research Center of the Federal Scientific Center for Medical and Preventive Health Risk Management Technologies. This group consisted of 66.5 % men and of 33.4 % women (Adult Treatment Panel III program). To study the relationship of metabolic syndrome with medical and social factors, the place of residence, education, professional affiliation and physical activity (International Questionnaire on Physical Activity) of the study participants were taken into account. Results. According to Adult Treatment Panel III in 2001 and 2005, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the working population of the Saratov region was 18.2 % and 21.2 %, respectively. At the same time, it significantly prevailed among urban residents (22.2 %) compared with rural residents (16.3 %) (p = 0.003), among the study participants with secondary education (22.6 %) compared with the group of people with higher education (17.9 %) (p = 0.002), among employees (26.5 %) compared with workers (17.3 %) (p < 0.001), in individuals with low physical activity (29.3 %) compared with the group of individuals with normal physical activity (18.7 %) (p < 0.001). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among urban residents was statistically significantly higher in the group of employees compared with workers (p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the corresponding groups among the rural population (p < 0.073). As a result of the logistic regression building, it was found that the following medical and social factors contribute to an increase in the developing metabolic syndrome probability: gender, age, body mass index more than 30 kg/m2 , profession (employees), living in the city. Limitation of the study. The conducted research is limited to the working population of the Saratov region. Conclusions. The results of the study indicate a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the working population of the Saratov region and allow us to obtain a generalized picture of its relationship with the main medical and social factors (gender, age, body mass index more than 30 kg/m2 , profession (employees), living in the city), as well as lifestyle factors (low level of physical activity, lack of sports activities).

Background: Dystocia in dairy animals remains major concern causing huge economical losses of farmers. Over the past years, field veterinarian relieves dystocia via maneuvering, fetotomy, modified Schaffers and cesarean methods under local or regional anaesthesia which is always stressful and painful procedure leading to excessive tissue damage. Considering the involved stress and further conception during relieving dystocia under local or regional anaesthesia is always questionable. Hence, the present study was aimed to relieve dystocia in buffalo without stress by improving gentle handling of uterus during cesarean or obstetrical method under the anaesthetic combination of xylazine-ketamine-guaifenesin under field condition. Methods: The present study was undertaken in twelve clinical cases of buffaloes with history of dystocia irrespective of age and breed and they were sedated with xylazine and subjected to obstetrical or cesarean procedure under ketamine and guaifenesin anaesthetic protocol. Result: Twelve buffaloes with average age between 3-8 years and body weight 389.66±19.56 kg reported to hospital and amongst them eight were primiparous.

Profiles of Learners of Turkish as a Second Language in Terms of Acculturation Orientation, Psychological Adjustment, and Perceived Cultural Distance
Authors: Temür Nezir , Aydın Gülnur
Published: September 2024

When individuals encounter a cultural circle other than the one that constructs their memory, self, and consciousness, they are likely to experience some adaptation problems. Especially for individuals living in a foreign country, such problems can be much more diverse. Therefore, it is extremely important to examine such problems by focusing on the individual’s perceptions and experiences in various dimensions. The aim of this study is to determine the profiles of learners of Turkish as a second language in terms of acculturation orientation, psychological adjustment, and perceived cultural distance and the relationship between them. In line with this aim, the correlational method, one of the quantitative research methods, was preferred in the study. The sample group consisted of 300 learners at B2, C1 and C1+ language levels who were studying at Turkish language teaching centres of different universities in Türkiye in the 2022-2023 academic year. A 7-point Likert-type short scale developed by Demes and Geeraert (2014) consisting of the dimensions of acculturation orientation, psychological adjustment, and cultural distance was used as a data collection tool; the data were analyzed using the SPSS 26.0 statistical package program. As a result of the research, it was found that the participants, who exhibited different profiles in terms of scores according to gender, language level, education level, reason for coming to Türkiye, native language, and number of languages known, showed that as their orientation toward home culture increased, their orientation toward Turkish culture and perceived cultural distance scores increased correlatively; however, their psychological adjustment scores decreased. While no relationship was found between the participants' orientation toward Turkish culture and their psychological adjustment and intercultural distance perceptions, it was observed that as their psychological adjustment scores increased, their perceived cultural distance scores decreased. Finally, the results obtained from the study were interpreted and discussed in the light of the literature. Various suggestions were also presented to the researchers by mentioning the limitations of the study.

The increasing population in an area often triggers heightened development, leading to diminished land availability and subsequent land conversion. This transformation, predominantly observed in agricultural and plantation lands, is driven by the need for residential areas. However, continuous land use changes contribute to erosion, a natural process wherein soil is transported, leading to sedimentation and eventual flooding.  This study aims to identify critical areas prone to erosion and land degradation. To address this, we used the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) method for erosion prediction, leveraging its simplicity and accuracy. This study focuses on the Mayang watershed in East Java, utilizing a combination of USLE, spectral index modeling, and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques to estimate soil erosion and land criticality. By integrating methodologies and analyzing data spanning from 2011 to 2021, the study reveals shifts in erosion danger levels and land use patterns. While regions with low erosion remained stable, areas with medium to high erosion declined, yet those with very high erosion exhibited a worrisome increase. Changes in land use, including forest loss and urban expansion, underscore the ecological shifts exacerbating erosion hazards. The study emphasizing the necessity for targeted conservation strategies and comprehensive land management plans to mitigate erosion risks and preserve environmental sustainability.
