Site-Specific Author's Drama
Authors: Strejčková Hana
Published: January 2023

The article discusses the role of the playwright in contemporary site-specific drama and the role of the director of site-specific performance. The study aims at three main areas: the author’s drama based on the recent history of the 20th century; the performative potential of the commonness and of oral history; and contemporary site-specific drama. As a playwright, the author focuses on the memories of witnesses and socially taboo topics. As a theatre director, she examines approaches for transforming into theatrical language the memory of place, the collection of data from oral history and burning issues. She looks at the relations between playwrights and site-specific performance. She observes the links among the topic, communication means and non-theatrical places.
This qualitative longitudinal art research is based on experience from theatre practice, analysis and comparison of theoretical knowledge. The author gives examples of authorial plays and reports on their productions, specifically stating these dramas: Midnight in the Borderland (3. /4. 5. 1950, a monastery), Three Chairs (Alzheimer’s disease, a retirement home), From Majdalenka to Madla (World War II, cellar), Hotel on the Corner (1932–1989, old theatre building).
The study emphasizes the need for a creative and attentive approach by the author, playwright, dramaturg and director to create a whole new world from the duality: ordinary and taboo. It turns out that the combination of a strong theme, an unusual place tied to the topic of the drama, and the participatory role (active/passive) of the audience can be an effective strategy and even “tactic” in strengthening the role of the author in drama after the year 2000.

Abstract. Formaldehyde (HCHO), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
and organic hydroperoxides (ROOH) play a key role in atmospheric oxidation
processes. They act as sources and sinks for HOx radicals
(OH + HO2), with OH as the primary oxidant that governs the
atmospheric self-cleaning capacity. Measurements of these species allow
for evaluation of chemistry-transport models which need to account for
multifarious source distributions, transport, complex photochemical reaction
pathways and deposition processes of these species. HCHO is an intermediate
during the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and is an indicator of photochemical activity
and combustion-related emissions. In this study, we use in situ observations
of HCHO, H2O2 and ROOH in the marine boundary layer (MBL) to
evaluate results of the general circulation model EMAC (ECHAM5/MESSy2
Atmospheric Chemistry; European Center HAMburg, Modular Earth Submodel System). The dataset was obtained during the Air Quality and Climate Change in the Arabian Basin (AQABA) ship
campaign around the Arabian Peninsula in summer 2017. This region is
characterized by high levels of photochemical air pollution, humidity and
solar irradiation, especially in the areas around the Suez Canal and the
Arabian Gulf. High levels of air pollution with up to 12 ppbv HCHO, 2.3 ppbv
ROOH and relatively low levels of H2O2 (≤0.5 ppbv) were
detected over the Arabian Gulf. We find that EMAC failed to predict absolute
mixing ratios of HCHO and ROOH during high-pollution events over the Arabian
Gulf, while it reproduced HCHO on average within a factor of 2. Dry
deposition velocities were determined for HCHO and H2O2 at
night with 0.77±0.29 cm s−1 for HCHO and 1.03±0.52 cm s−1 for H2O2 over the Arabian Sea, which were
matched by EMAC. The photochemical budget of H2O2 revealed
elevated HOx radical concentrations in EMAC, which resulted in an
overestimation of H2O2 by more than a factor of 5 for the AQABA
dataset. The underestimated air pollution over the Arabian Gulf was related
to EMAC's coarse spatial resolution and missing anthropogenic emissions in
the model.

Abstract. The NASA Atmospheric Tomography (ATom) mission built a
photochemical climatology of air parcels based on in situ measurements with
the NASA DC-8 aircraft along objectively planned profiling transects through
the middle of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. In this paper we present and
analyze a data set of 10 s (2 km) merged and gap-filled observations of the
key reactive species driving the chemical budgets of O3 and CH4
(O3, CH4, CO, H2O, HCHO, H2O2, CH3OOH,
C2H6, higher alkanes, alkenes, aromatics, NOx, HNO3,
HNO4, peroxyacetyl nitrate, and other organic nitrates), consisting of
146 494 distinct air parcels from ATom deployments 1 through 4. Six models
calculated the O3 and CH4 photochemical tendencies from this
modeling data stream for ATom 1. We find that 80 %–90 % of the
total reactivity lies in the top 50 % of the parcels and 25 %–35 % in the top 10 %, supporting previous model-only studies that
tropospheric chemistry is driven by a fraction of all the air. Surprisingly,
the probability densities of species and reactivities averaged on a model
scale (100 km) differ only slightly from the 2 km ATom 10 s data, indicating
that much of the heterogeneity in tropospheric chemistry can be captured
with current global chemistry models. Comparing the ATom reactivities over
the tropical oceans with climatological statistics from six global chemistry
models, we find generally good agreement with the reactivity rates for
O3 and CH4. Models distinctly underestimate O3 production
below 2 km relative to the mid-troposphere, and this can be traced to lower
NOx levels than observed. Attaching photochemical reactivities to
measurements of chemical species allows for a richer, yet more
constrained-to-what-matters, set of metrics for model evaluation. This paper
presents a corrected version of the paper published under the same authors

Abstract. Understanding the gas–particle partitioning of semivolatile
organic compounds (SVOCs) is of crucial importance in the accurate
representation of the global budget of atmospheric organic aerosols. In this
study, we quantified the gas- vs. particle-phase fractions of a large number
of SVOCs in real time in an urban area of East China with the use of a
CHemical Analysis of aeRosols ONline (CHARON) inlet coupled to a high-resolution proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometer
(PTR-ToF-MS). We demonstrated the use of the CHARON inlet for highly
efficient collection of particulate SVOCs while maintaining the intact
molecular structures of these compounds. The collected month-long dataset
with hourly resolution allows us to examine the gas–particle partitioning of
a variety of SVOCs under ambient conditions. By comparing the measurements
with model predictions using instantaneous equilibrium partitioning
theory, we found that the dissociation of large parent molecules during the
PTR ionization process likely introduces large uncertainties to the measured
gas- vs. particle-phase fractions of less oxidized SVOCs, and therefore,
caution should be taken when linking the molecular composition to the
particle volatility when interpreting the PTR-ToF-MS data. Our analysis
suggests that understanding the fragmentation mechanism of SVOCs and
accounting for the neutral losses of small moieties during the molecular
feature extraction from the raw PTR mass spectra could reduce, to a large
extent, the uncertainties associated with the gas–particle partitioning
measurement of SVOCs in the ambient atmosphere.

Abstract. Tropical forest dynamics play crucial roles in the global carbon, water, and energy cycles. Dynamic global vegetation models are the primary tools to simulate terrestrial ecosystem dynamics and their response to climate change. However, realistically simulating the dynamics of competition and coexistence of differing plant functional traits within tropical forests remains a significant challenge. This study aims to improve modeling of plant functional type (PFT) coexistence in the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES), a vegetation demography model implemented in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) land model (ELM), ELM-FATES. Specifically, we explore: (1) whether plant trait relationships established from field measurements can constrain ELM-FATES simulations; and (2) whether machine learning based surrogate models can emulate the complex ELM-FATES model and optimize parameter selections to improve PFT coexistence modeling. We conducted ELM-FATES experiments for a tropical forest site near Manaus, Brazil. We first conducted two ensembles of ELM-FATES experiments, without (Exp-1) and with (Exp-2) consideration of observed trait relationships, respectively. Considering the observed trait relationships (Exp-2) slightly improves ELM-FATES simulations of water, energy, and carbon fluxes, but degrades the simulation of PFT coexistence. Using eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) based surrogate models trained on Exp-1, we optimize the trait-related parameters in ELM-FATES to enable PFT coexistence and reduce model errors relative to the field observations. We used parameters selected by the surrogate model to conduct another ensemble of ELM-FATES experiments (Exp-3). The probability of experiments yielding PFT coexistence greatly increases from 21 % in Exp-1 to 73 % in Exp-3. Further filtering those experiments that allow for PFT coexistence to agree within 15 % of the observations, Exp-3 still has 33 % of experiments left, much higher than the 1.4 % in Exp-1. Exp-3 also better reproduces the annual means and seasonal variations of water, energy and carbon fluxes, and the field inventory of above ground biomass. Our study demonstrates the benefits of using machine learning models to improve PFT coexistence modeling in ELM-FATES, with important implications for modeling the response and feedback of ecosystem dynamics to climate change. Our results also suggest that new mechanisms are required for robust simulation of coexisting plants in FATES.
Soil and crop management practices and the water regulation functions of soils: a qualitative synthesis of meta-analyses relevant to European agriculture

Published: January 2023

Abstract. Adopting soil and crop management practices that conserve or enhance soil structure is critical for supporting the sustainable adaptation of agriculture to climate change, as it should help maintain agricultural production in the face of increasing drought or water excess without impairing environmental quality. In this paper, we evaluate the evidence for this assertion by synthesizing the results of 34 published meta-analyses of the effects of such practices on soil physical and hydraulic properties relevant for climate change adaptation in European agriculture. We also review an additional 127 meta-analyses that investigated synergies and trade-offs or help to explain the effects of soil and crop management in terms of the underlying processes and mechanisms. Finally, we identify how responses to alternative soil–crop management systems vary under contrasting agro-environmental conditions across Europe. This information may help practitioners and policymakers to draw context-specific conclusions concerning the efficacy of management practices as climate adaptation tools. Our synthesis demonstrates that organic soil amendments and the adoption of practices that maintain “continuous living cover” result in significant benefits for the water regulation function of soils, mostly arising from the additional carbon inputs to soil and the stimulation of biological processes. These effects are clearly related to improved soil aggregation and enhanced bio-porosity, both of which reduce surface runoff and increase infiltration. One potentially negative consequence of these systems is a reduction in soil water storage and groundwater recharge, which may be problematic in dry climates. Some important synergies are reductions in nitrate leaching to groundwater and greenhouse gas emissions for nonleguminous cover crop systems. The benefits of reducing tillage intensity appear much less clear-cut. Increases in soil bulk density due to traffic compaction are commonly reported. However, biological activity is enhanced under reduced tillage intensity, which should improve soil structure and infiltration capacity and reduce surface runoff and the losses of agro-chemicals to surface water. However, the evidence for these beneficial effects is inconclusive, while significant trade-offs include yield penalties and increases in greenhouse gas emissions and the risks of leaching of pesticides and nitrate. Our synthesis also highlights important knowledge gaps on the effects of management practices on root growth and transpiration. Thus, conclusions related to the impacts of management on the crop water supply and other water regulation functions are necessarily based on inferences derived from proxy variables. Based on these knowledge gaps, we outlined several key avenues for future research on this topic.

CORPORATE FINANCIAL CONTROL: HISTORICAL CHALLENGES AND NEW REALITY
Authors: Khokonov Beslan Mukhamedovich
Published: January 2023

The article reveals the main factors determining the requirements for the transformation of financial corporate control. Special attention is paid to the process of formation of new independent financial systems at the national level, the need for which arose at the present stage of geopolitical changes. In addition, there are negative consequences of the financialization of economic development and the spread of the shadow economy, which turned out to be beyond the financial control. Therefore, the development of financial control, especially in its corporate part, which meets the challenges of the shadow economy and financialization in the new reality, requires its transformation into an immanent component of financial relations. The potential for the establishment of universality of financial control, previously absent in economic activity, is currently due to the digitalization of the national economy.

Published: January 2023

The incidence of bulbar syndrome in craniovertebral junction anomalies is between 12% and 35%. Although the use of evoked potentials intraoperatively and preoperatively has advanced in recent years, their use in predicting the development of neurological deficits remains a challenge. This research explores the predictive significance of evoked potentials in the diagnosis of bulbar syndrome in Chiari 1 anomaly. Data from 39 patients and 30 controls were reviewed. Standard multimodal neurophysiological investigations including Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs), somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs), Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS), and Electromyogram (EMG) were performed. All studies were conducted on the 4-channel complex “Synapsis” (Neurotech, Russia) with computer data processing. The threshold Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) value was 21.5 m/s. The sensitivity and specificity were 75.5% and 71.2% respectively. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.96±0.36 (95% CI: 0.89-1.00) and p-value 0.004. The M-response amplitude threshold dividing the study group into high and low-risk groups was 1.01 microV. The sensitivity and specificity were 78.0 and 71.2%, respectively. The BAEPs interpeak intervals III-V and I-V were significantly prolonged (P˂ 0.05). SSEPs showed a decreased amplitude and reduced NCV (P ˂ 0.01). Glossopharyngeal nerve electroneuromyography is the most informative test. A decrease in M-response amplitude of bulbar muscles and NCV on efferent fibers is highly predictive of the development of bulbar disorders in patients with Chiari 1, even in subclinical cases.

Published: January 2023

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mixed reality models in anatomy teaching and learning at Kirkpatrick’s level I, using Peer Assisted Learning approach. This study was based on a single group, post-test study design and was carried out at three affiliated medical schools of Khyber Medical University, Peshawar, over four months. A total of 97 first- and secondyear medical students from three medical schools were enrolled. All students received a basic introduction to the use of Hololens (Microsoft), the mixed-reality simulator-based course on the anatomy of the heart and liver via peer-assisted learning (PAL) method. Student satisfaction was evaluated at Kirkpatrick Level I of program evaluation using a validated and structured PAL questionnaire. Most students agreed or strongly agreed to the effectiveness of questions (mean ± SD 4.3±0.2, percentage 86±4.4%). There was no difference between the satisfaction scores of male and female students (p=0.34), whereas a slight difference was seen between 2nd- and 1st-year students’ satisfaction scores (88% versus 85%, p=0.03). There was also a statistically significant difference of perceptions between different medical schools’ students’ scores (p=.000). Students appear to be satisfied with the use of the mixed reality model for learning anatomy. A randomized trial to directly compare the satisfaction levels between traditional methods and mixed-reality model may be conducted and the effects of mixed-reality models on learning should be assessed.
Myocardial bridge over coronary arteries and myocardial coat lining coronary sinus: clinical implications
Authors: Borthakur Dibakar , Kumar Rajesh , Dada Rima
Published: January 2023

Myocardial Bridge (MB) on the coronary artery and myocardial coat (MC) on the cardiac veins are usually detected in angiography and cadaveric dissection. Left anterior descending branch (LAD) of the left coronary artery is the most frequent site of MB. Rarely MB is also seen over the right coronary arterial branches. MB has proven association with ischemic heart disease and other critical cardiac consequences like myocardial infarction (MI) (Alegria et al., 2000; Soran et al., 2000). MC, on the other hand has not gained enough attention in previous studies. Large MB can be readily identified in angiograms, but minutes MB can be picked up by newer imaging studies like multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan (Tiryakioglu and Aliyu, 2020). Cadaveric dissection, however, holds its unique place in direct visualization and studying the macro and micro-anatomical characteristics. To study the prevalence and anatomical attributes of MB and MC in Indian population, ten adult cadaveric hearts (6 male and 4 female) were dissected as part of a routine undergraduate teaching at the Anatomy Department, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India. MB over the coronary artery and MC over the cardiac vein were identified. Data pertaining to the MB and MC dimensions were measured with a digital vernier calliper. Histology of the MC was carried out to confirm its presence and observe the cytoarchitecture pattern. Relevant gross macroscopic and microscopic images were photographed and photomicrographed. 20% of the dissected cadavers revealed MB involving LAD in first heart while LAD and RCA both in second heart with lengths 5 mm, 18 mm and 2 mm respectively. MC was noted over coronary sinus and proximal few millimeters of great and middle cardiac veins. Histological examination revealed cardiac striated muscle in MC with typical cyto- architecture. The mean myocardial muscle index (MMI) of MBs ranged from 1.6 to 21.6. The present study highlights 20% prevalence of MBs in Indian population involving both right and left coronary artery. 10% of the subjects had histologically confirmed MC over cardiac veins. MC over the coronary sinus and other cardiac veins need more elaborate explorative studies to quantify the anatomic properties and to examine the possible association with cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, anatomic attributes should be kept in mind to better appreciate MI in evolution and MI at evaluation in a case with MB.

Authors: PAKHLYAN Anna
Published: January 2023

Significant differences in tax policy, banking and financial secrecy and similar issues have led to colossal accumulation of financial resources and tax abuses in a number of countries/jurisdictions around
the world. Such countries/jurisdictions are characterized as «tax havens». However, if such territories
provide «paradise» conditions for the business sector, which strives in every way to reduce the tax burden, then for states deprived of a significant part of the expected tax revenues, they are a real «hell».
Perhaps, this is the reason for the universal interest in tax havens and offshores.
The paper compiles and analyzes «black» and «gray» lists of countries/jurisdictions that have received the status of tax havens by various international structures, and their classification according to
the indices of financial secrecy and corporate tax havens.

The problem of textile waste management is quite relevant. All textiles can be even more harmful
than plastic, and textile waste is not so rooted in the consciousness of mankind as a useful waste subject
to recycling. Therefore, we have a problem of motivating all potential waste owners, which will help to
solve it. introduction of textile waste collection fandoms. However, the main solution to the problem
is to abandon the "bad habits" and move towards conscious consumption. Now the situation of textile
waste management has started to change in the last few years and there is a definite activity towards
solving the problem and one of the most promising ways in this regard is considered to be recycling
of clothes.

Education is a fundamental human right and a guarantee of society’s social and economic development. Therefore, the provision of quality education should be the priority of any state. The importance
of education for any government is shown by the allocations to the sector in the total budget expenditure or by the ratio of GDP. In the paper, the resources allocated to RA education, its ratio in the
total budget allocations, and GDP, have been studied, and comparisons have been made with similar
indicators of other countries. Comparisons have shown that although expenditures on education are
increasing quantitatively, they are still far below the world average, the average of countries of the same
income level, and are the lowest in the region and within the EAEU. The largest part of RA education
expenses is traditionally directed to general education (60-70%), including primary, secondary, preschool education, then higher education (6-9%), vocational education (7-8%), as well as extracurricular
education (3%).

Unlimited information often turns from an advantage into an obstacle. In relation to this, the weakening of student’s analytical abilities and their replacement by «keyboard literacy» is emphasized.
Nowadays, the risks caused by the amount of information and the information overload of education
subjects are gaining particular importance in the educational processes of the RA. Open educational
systems are meant to promote human cognitive progress and facilitate the accumulation of knowledge.
Communication, teamwork, critical thinking and creativity play an important role in distance learning.
Implementation of Edge Detection Process by using Supervised Convolution Neural Network
Authors: Jansirani M , Sumitra P
Published: January 2023

Edge detection is important in digital image processing because it contains essential information that is needed to process the specific application requirement. The feature detection and characteristic extraction processes are both directly influenced by the edge detection procedure. The image quality is determined by the retrieved edges and features. To derive the edge characteristics, several current techniques such as Canny, Laplacian of Gaussian, Prewitt, Zero-Crossing, Roberts, and Sobel are commonly used. However, when the amount of the dataset grows, this strategy requires a lot of computing time. The high running suggests that edge detection approaches have an impact on the overall efficiency of picture analysis. To address these challenges, this paper introduces an edge detection technique combined with machine learning algorithms. To reduce computing complexity, a supervised convolution neural network is used in conjunction with the edge detection procedure. The neural network employs automatic learning functions and pre-training patterns to anticipate edge-related features with minimal effort. The fully convoluted layer and max-pooling function are used in the convolution network to reduce unnecessary features and forecast edges with the highest detection accuracy. Edge prediction deviations are minimized during this procedure by back propagating the incorrect value to the preceding layer, which improves the overall recognition rate. The system's efficiency is then calculated using the MATLAB tool, along with the appropriate performance measures.

Gaming for engaged education and training hold an increasingly important collective theme for academics, researchers and software developers worldwide. Claiming no fixed rules for efficacious negotiation, civic and sustainability game-based learning and capacity decisions, this study builds on investigating negotiation/conflict and civic/sustainability-related attitudes and skills surveyed in serious game play university setting. We report on 110 Greek private university graduate students’ negotiation/conflict and civic/sustainability management-associated attributes after gaming when compared with lecture instruction as part of negotiation module in psychology course sessions in the academic year 2019/2020. After gaming, male and female students indicated beneficial civic learning-associated attributes like knowledge of and favorable orientation towards engagement and practice of political activities, nation-wide, community and town-related challenges. Overall, this civic capacity seemed to be facilitated by less impulsive negotiation/conflict and positive civic/sustainability management behaviour in both genders post-gaming. The negotiation/conflict resolution and civic/sustainability management continuum attributes indicated after gaming are discussed together with theoretical and practical implications and avenues for further research regarding serious games negotiation/civic pedagogy and experience.

Counselling is not common in India even though it helps us in various ways. The COVID-19 pandemic itself has created a lot of problems related to mental health. Bad mental health severely affects society. Even then, hardly very few people go for counselling. There are various reasons why people don’t go for counselling. Some people believe in myths regarding counselling while most people don’t even know what exactly counselling is. Therefore, it was necessary to find a way to let people know about counselling as well as allow them to go for counselling. Our web application is designed so as to provide solutions to these problems. The system proposed in this paper is a web application designed to help the overwhelmed, burned out, unhappy or anxious students or employees of an organization. The main objective of the web application is to help the user in maintaining good mental health. The users will be having access to various features. Users can set up appointments with the organization’s counsellor. Technology such as WebRTC is used for video conferencing so that the user can connect with the counsellor in their own space and anytime they want. Users will have to answer some questions as part of the survey which will determine how much the user is in need of counselling. The ‘quotes’ section will help inspire the users with some inspirational quotes from famous personalities. The blogs section of the web application will help impart knowledge about e-therapy and its advantages to the users. Users who are not familiar with e-therapy can get introduced to it by watching the informative videos provided in the videos section. The base of the application is MERN stack because of which we got to explore many web-based technologies efficiently.
Wireless Power Transfer Based on Enhancement of Frequency Through PLL for Wide Range

Published: January 2023

In this paper, the proposed work conveys an efficient way to the desired extent while maintaining stable power generation and efficiency over long distances which has been difficult for past decades. These inductive or microwave plus coupling varieties are typically regarded key characteristics in a regularly used system. In a broad sense, capacitive coupling (CC), magnetic resonance coupling (MRC), microwave radiation (MR), & inductive coupling are the 4 kinds of coupling. Since its evaluation in the mid-1930s, when it was utilized as element of both the Synchronization of the level and lateral outputs of television, it has progressed to a Progressed representation of coordinated circuit (IC). Technological advances have been identified inside a long range of applications nowadays. The very first PLL ICs started available about 1965. Furthermore, its quality factor allows for maximum coupling efficiency at longer wavelengths and voltages. Past decades proved that obtaining a wide range of components leads to optimizing the wireless power transfer system. The suggested control approaches and frequent usage of PLL are described in this research, and they will enhance the effectiveness of the transmission frequency to acquire as much distance as possible while maintaining the required efficiency. Furthermore, the proposed technique for the inverter, which is dependent on the saturation principle, necessitates the monitoring of potential within transmitter and reception coils. The high-frequency transformer, on the other hand, fulfilled the specified distance at Megahertz by stepping up the regulated voltage and frequency using coil parameters. With the aid of optimization in coil settings, this suggested work approaches a novel high efficiency experiment and control upon coupled magnetic resonance across a large range of load power also with PLL that can raise the voltage at a rather high value to get the wide range. In a WPT system, this simple way can obtain optimal distance. The MATLAB-2019b environment was used to evaluate the simulation.
