Statistical study and corresponding evolution of plasmaspheric plumes under different levels of geomagnetic storms
Authors: Li Haimeng , Fu Tongxing , Tang Rongxin , Yuan Zhigang , Yang Zhanrong , Ouyang Zhihai , Deng Xiaohua
Published: March 2022

Abstract. Using observations of Van Allen Probes, we present a statistical
study of plasmaspheric plumes in the inner magnetosphere. Plasmaspheric
plumes tend to occur during the recovery phase of geomagnetic storms.
Furthermore, the results imply that the occurrence rate of observed
plasmaspheric plume in the inner magnetosphere is larger during stronger
geomagnetic activity. This statistical result is different from the
observations of the Cluster satellite with much higher L shells in most
orbital periods, which suggests that the plasmaspheric plume near the
magnetopause tends to be observed during moderate geomagnetic activity (Lee
et al., 2016). In the following, the dynamic evolutions of plasmaspheric
plumes during a moderate geomagnetic storm in February 2013 and a strong
geomagnetic storm in May 2013 are simulated through group test particle
simulation. It is obvious that the plasmaspheric particles drift out on open convection paths due to sunward convection during both geomagnetic storms. It seems that the outer plasmaspheric particles exhaust the energy available to them sooner, and the plasmasphere shrinks faster during strong geomagnetic storms. As a result, the longitudinal width of the plume is narrower, and the plume is limited to lower L shells during the recovery phase of strong geomagnetic storm. The simulated evolutions may provide a possible interpretation for the occurrence rates: Van Allen Probes tend to observe plumes during stronger geomagnetic storms, and the Cluster satellite with higher L shells tends to observe plumes during moderate geomagnetic storms.

Abstract. Large volcanic eruptions occurring in the last glacial period can be detected by their accompanying sulfuric acid deposition in continuous ice cores. Here we employ continuous sulfate and sulfur records from three Greenland and three Antarctic ice cores to estimate the emission strength, the frequency and the climatic forcing of large volcanic eruptions that occurred during the second half of the last glacial period and the early Holocene, 60–9 kyr before 2000 CE (b2k). Over most of the investigated interval the ice cores are synchronized, making it possible to distinguish large eruptions with a global sulfate distribution from eruptions detectable in one hemisphere only. Due to limited data resolution and large variability in the sulfate background signal, particularly in the Greenland glacial climate, we only list Greenland sulfate depositions larger than 20 kg km−2 and Antarctic sulfate depositions larger than 10 kg km−2. With those restrictions, we identify 1113 volcanic eruptions in Greenland and 737 eruptions in Antarctica within the 51 kyr period – for which the sulfate deposition of
85 eruptions is found at both poles (bipolar eruptions). Based on the ratio of Greenland and Antarctic sulfate deposition, we estimate the
latitudinal band of the bipolar eruptions and assess their approximate climatic forcing based on established methods. A total of 25 of the identified bipolar
eruptions are larger than any volcanic eruption occurring in the last 2500 years, and 69 eruptions are estimated to have larger sulfur emission
strengths than the Tambora, Indonesia, eruption (1815 CE). Throughout the investigated period, the frequency of volcanic eruptions is rather constant
and comparable to that of recent times. During the deglacial period (16–9 ka b2k), however, there is a notable increase in the frequency
of volcanic events recorded in Greenland and an obvious increase in the fraction of very large eruptions. For Antarctica, the deglacial period
cannot be distinguished from other periods. This confirms the suggestion that the isostatic unloading of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) ice sheets may
be related to the enhanced NH volcanic activity. Our ice-core-based volcanic sulfate records provide the atmospheric sulfate burden and estimates of
climate forcing for further research on climate impact and understanding the mechanism of the Earth system.

Más allá de Humboldt. Sobre la percepción darwiniana del tiempo en la naturaleza
Authors: Jiménez Pazos Bárbara
Published: March 2022

Este artículo testa la generalizada aceptación experta que detecta en Journal of Researches de Darwin una influencia estilístico-ideológica proveniente de las obras de Humboldt. Para ello, dado que las descripciones de la naturaleza Humboldt y Darwin deberían contener implícita la concepción de la naturaleza de cada autor, se han analizado comparativamente pasajes dedicados al análisis descriptivo del influjo del paso del tiempo sobre el paisaje geológico en Journal y en Ansichten der Natur de Humboldt. Se demuestra así que la descripción de la percepción humboldtiana del tiempo deja entrever una concepción de la naturaleza romántico-naturalista que asume el tiempo y su influjo en la naturaleza como objeto estético. Por contra, a la descripción de la percepción darwiniana del tiempo subyace una concepción científico-naturalista que utiliza el concepto del tiempo como herramienta especulativa para el análisis científico del paisaje geológico.

Primero, se exhibe la importancia de esta noción para la superación del solipsismo; luego, se explican las denuncias de un optimismo ontológico y uno epistemológico en la visión hegeliana de la intersubjetividad. Como conclusión, se explicitan las diferencias entre el abordaje dialéctico-idealista de la Anerkennung (Hegel) y el abordaje vivencial-existencial de la reconnaissance (Sartre) en estas reflexiones filosóficas acerca de las relaciones interpersonales.
Eğitim Kurumlarında Örgütsel Sinizm Kavramının İncelenmesi
Authors: Tek Erbil
Published: March 2022

Organizational silence, which is known as the fact that employees do not say their thoughts and ideas by staying silent for various reasons in educational institutions, and organizational cynicism, known as the negative attitudes of employees towards the organizations they are in, are extremely important issues in the management literature. Organizational cynicism is a situation arising from the different positioning of the active employees within the organization due to individual, socio-cultural or economic reasons. The fact that the employees of the educational institution position themselves differently in the organization in this way creates some negativities, which in turn disrupts the functioning and cooperation in the organization. The state of negativity in the organization affects many situations within and outside the organization. For this reason, organizational cynicism is especially important in terms of overcoming the difficulties that education administrators should pay attention to and that may arise in achieving organizational goals.

Published: March 2022

Предметом внимания является перевод «Диалектики» Иоанна Дамаскина на славянский язык в древнейшем полном списке второй половины XIV века (Сербия, Музей Сербской православной церкви, № 176). В статье рассматриваются наименования народов, жителей и имена собственные - пласт лексики, представленный небольшим числом примеров, но интересный ввиду своей гетерогенности. При передаче грецизмов использовано несколько моделей адаптации, а вариативность связана с разной степенью освоенности лексики, поэтому наряду с типичными формами можно обнаружить любопытные в языковом отношении примеры

The article reviews ethnonyms, demonyms and proper nouns in the Slavic translation of John Damascene’s Dialectic in the oldest full Serbian copy of the second half of the 14th century (Serbia, Serbian Orthodox Church Museum, no. 176). This part of vocabulary represented by a few examples interesting due to its heterogeneity. The translator uses several and not just traditional models of the adaptation of greekisms. The variability of ways of adaptation is associated with different degrees of the adaptation of lexemes, therefore, Slavic manuscripts contain original spellings.

Authors: Bondarenko V.V. , Polishchuk T.V.
Published: March 2022

The amino acid composition of muscle tissue and the content of fatty acids in the lard of young pigs when fed with the new protein-vitamin mineral supplement "MINAKTIVIT" are analyzed. The data were obtained in a scientific and eco-nomic experiment on two groups-analogues of young pigs of the Large White breed. The supplement was fed at the amount of 25% of the grain part of the diet – starter, 15% – grower and 10% – finisher. At the end of rearing to the live weight of 100–110 kg, a control slaughter of three heads from each group was performed, and samples of subcutaneous lard weighing 200 g at the level of 9-11 thoracic vertebrae and muscle tissue samples were taken for research. When feeding protein-vitamin mineral supplement "MINAKTIVIT" in the lard of pigs there were no significant changes in thе total amount of fatty acids, but among the saturated fatty acids, the amount of myristic, palmitic, margaric and stearic acids increases slightly. Among monounsaturated acids, the content of oleic and gondoic acids increases and the amount of palmitoleic fatty acid decreases. From the group of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the spinal lard of pigs of the experimental group the content of linoleic, γ - linolenic, α - linolenic and digomolinoleic acid increases. Studies have shown that feeding young pigs with the new protein-vitamin mineral supplement "MINACTIVIT" has a positive effect on the amino acid composition of muscle tissue. At the same time, the content of lysine, methionine and leucine among essential amino acids is reliably increasing, and there is a significant increase in almost all essential amino acids.

ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF NEW WAYS AND METHODS OF SELECTION OF REPAIR PIGS AND SOWS WHEN BREEDING FOR PERFECT
Authors: Doylidov V.A.
Published: March 2022

Testing of the replacement gilts on psychological stress resistance, and choosing of the stress resistant individuals for reproduction purposes, makes it possible to increase the rate of the average multiparous pregnancy in sows by 1.3 heads, and to raise the proportion of tested sows transferred to the main herd by 13.1 p.p. This ensures the additional income of 436.4 rubles or 167.8 c.u. for each gilt selected for replacement. Exclusion from the herd in the process of selection of sows-carriers of the EPORСС genotype allows to get additional income from the sale of fattened young animals received from 1 sow per year by 49.6 rubles or 19.1 c.u. in comparison with the absence of such selection. When a complex of DNA markers MUC4 (in 7) and EPOR was used for selection of polymorphism, an increase in its effectiveness was stated with an increase in the proportion of positive alleles MUC4 (in 7)С and EPORТ in the genotypes of the selected animals. When breeding for multiparous pregnancies, the effectiveness of use was defied, against the background of a preliminary selection by the nature of polymorphism of the complex of DNA markers MUC4 (in 7) and EPOR, an additional assessment of sows by the values of the SRMHm parameter. The greatest economic effect, which amounted to 104.2 rubles or 40.1 c.u, for 1 sow of the next generation per year, was established using preliminary selection of carriers in the genotype of 50% or more alleles MUC4 (in 7) C and EPORT with additional selection of 30% of the best sows according to the value of SRMHm.
LITERASI MEDIA DI ERA POST TRUTH
Authors: Mudjiyanto Bambang , Dunan Amri
Published: March 2022

AbstractFraming of media messages through text, sound and images is a media activity to influence the thoughts and feelings of the audience. The relationship between media and audiences is built by media messages, whereas media messages are in themselves unique. Media literacy is intended to make media literate individuals who have an understanding and skills in access to, knowledge, and attitudes towards the media used. Media literacy is built to increase individual control over the media they use to send and receive messages. This social shift cannot be separated from the influence of the strengthening of the digital world where humans are connected to one another in a network called the internet. This condition makes information production no longer a monopoly on mainstream media but also social media managed by the public. The emergence of hoax news on social media, the post truth era is marked by media and journalism indecision, especially in dealing with fake statements from news sources. Post truth is an abnormality. Adapted societies, of course, still adhere to the values of truth and divine morality as shared values.Keywords: Literacy, Media, Post TruthAbstraksiPembingkaian pesan media melalui teks, suara dan gambar merupakan aktivitas media untuk mempengaruhi pikiran dan perasaan khalayak.

Published: March 2022

In this work, we are interested in studying a spatiotemporal two-dimensional SIR epidemic model, in the form of a system of partial differential equations (PDE). A distribution of a vaccine in the form of a control variable is considered to force immunity. The purpose is to characterize a control that minimizes the number of susceptible, infected individuals and the costs associated with vaccination over a nite space and time domain. In addition, the existence of the solution of the state system and the optimal control is proved. The characterization of the control is given in terms of state function and adjoint function. The numerical resolution of the state system shows the effectiveness of our control strategy.

An Evaluation of Predatory Governance in Uganda and Indonesia
Authors: Bidandi Fred , Williams John J. , Waiswa Jeremy
Published: March 2022

The first part of this article theorises predatory governance in general and acmes some exceptions to the process. Subsequently, it reviews the characteristics of predatory governance literature in Africa and East Asia with emphasis on Uganda and Indonesia. The study shows how leaders utilise state resources and institutions for their self-interest and exclude the masses or tax payers who sustain such regimes. We show that, the extent to which regimes, influence policies on the general population politically or otherwise, creates inequality, poverty, unemployment, and bad governance. We, therefore, theorise that predatory governance is hinged on the idea that the state usually has limited capacity to protect citizen rights, the political and socio-economic spaces are usually controlled by the elites either through coercion, corruption or the use of violence. The impact of predatory governance and the developmental state as an approach for economic development has been discussed and we observe practical realities of vote-buying to win elections being a common practice in Uganda and Indonesia. In this understanding, both case scenarios portray an image of predatory behaviour. The study utilised secondary data to evaluate what predatory governance, its characteristics and impact. Findings show that predatory governance affects economic outcomes of a country, produces corruption, violence, nepotism, poverty, unemployment and shrinking democratic space and deficiencies to name but few.

Published: March 2022

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are regarded to be among the most environmentally and economically efficient transportation solutions. However, barriers and range limitations hinder this technology’s progress and deployment. In this paper, we examine EV route planning to derive optimal routes considering energy consumption by analyzing historical trajectory data. More specifically, we propose a novel approach for EV route planning that considers real-time traffic incidents, road topology, charging station locations during battery failure, and finally, traffic flow prediction extracted from historical trajectory data to generate energy maps. Our approach consists of four phases: the off-line phase which aims to build the energy graph, the application of the A* algorithm to deliver the optimal EV path, the NEAT trajectory clustering which aims to produce dense trajectory clusters for a given period of the day, and finally, the on-line phase based on our algorithm to plan an optimal EV path based on real traffic incidents, dense trajectory clusters, road topology information, vehicle characteristics, and charging station locations. We set up experiments on real cases to establish the optimal route for electric cars, demonstrating the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed algorithm.
TOPLUM FARKLILAŞMALARI VE DİN OLAYI

Published: March 2022

Din sosyolojisi literatürüne din konusu bağlamında bütüncül bir yaklaşım sunma iddiasında olan eser, tarihsel perspektifte Doğu ve Batı olarak ayrılan iki kutbun, tarihteki karşılaşmalarının sonucunda din olayını bir kimlik inşası olarak nasıl anlamlandırdıklarını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bunun yanında toplumlar arası karşılaşmalar, tarih boyunca belirli çatışmaları da beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu bağlamda din olgusunun, bu çatışmalara karşılık bir toplumun varlığını devam ettirebilmesi için ihtiyaç duyduğu kolektif konsensüsün sağlayıcısı olduğu düşünülmüştür. Ancak dinin toplumsal ve kültürel kimliği koruyarak düzeni sağlayan bir mekanizma olmasının yanında eserde de ifade edildiği gibi toplumsal ve kültürel çatışmaların da sebebi olduğunu görmek mümkündür. Sezer’in bu eserinde, çoğunlukla Doğu toplumlarının hem kendi içindeki çatışmaları hem de Batı toplumları ile olan ilişkisi sonucunda din olgusunun kültürel olarak gelişimine yer verilmiştir. Eserde Batı’nın kimlik oluşumunda din olayının sadece Doğu toplumları ile girdiği çatışmada Doğu toplumlarını sömürmek olduğu penceresinden konuya yaklaşılmıştır. Bu nedenle eserde yapılan Batı tanımları, Batı’nın kendi içerisindeki tarihsel kırılmaları göz ardı etmesi dolayısıyla toplumlar arası çatışmalar ve din temasına indirgeyici bir perspektif sunmaktadır.

Many factors cause landslides, both natural and non-natural factors. One of the natural factors that cause landslides is the topography/slope condition. The sloping/steep topography in the downstream area of the Kuranji watershed causes a high potential for landslides in this area. Landslides occur due to balance disturbances that cause the movement of soil and rock masses from a higher place to a lower place. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze slope stability to determine the effect of slope conditions on the potential for landslides. In this study, an analysis of the potential for slopes stability was carried out using the Ordinary Method of Slices. The analysis is carried out by making different slopes so that the value of the safety factor will be obtained from each slope. The slope variation used in this study is the ratio of height to slope width of 1:5, 1:4, 1:3, 1:2, 1:1, 1:0.5, 1:0.25. The results showed that the smaller the slope and the height of the slope, the more stable the slope will be, on the contrary, the larger the slope, the more unstable the slope. This can be assessed from the value safety factor (SF) of slope stability which is obtained from the calculation, which is getting smaller as the slope and height of the slope decrease.

Sustainable development of a country helps to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and advance the transition to low-carbon, resource-efficient and inclusive economies. Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is one of the important process for the management of the coast using an integrated approach to achieve sustainability, regarding all aspects of the coastal zone, including geographical and political boundaries. In 2010, the Government of India had launched Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project (ICZMP) to conserve, protect and manage the coastal and marine ecosystems, pollution abatement and livelihood security of the coastal communities with the assistance of the World Bank. The ICZM project in India was implemented in identified coastal stretches of the states of Gujarat, Odisha and West Bengal. Under this project, activities related to conservation of the coastal ecosystems such as mangrove plantation, shelterbelt plantation, coral transplantation, enhancement of livelihood security of the coastal communities, pollution abatement in coastal areas, capacity building, etc. was undertaken. After almost 10 years of the commencement of the project, the satisfactory implementation of various activities in all the three states is evident from the numerous achievements under ICZM.

Published: March 2022

In 1867,S. T. Sorel discovered Magnesia Cement in an aqueous solution by reacting magnesium chloride with magnesia. In comparison to Portland cement, this has versatile cementing characteristics. As an inert filler to absorb the heat evolved during the exothermic formations of magnesia cement Dolomite is used. Authors in this research paper have prepared Dry-mixes composition of magnesia and dolomite (inert filler) in the ratios of (1s And then these are gauged with 24oBegauging -solutions MgCl2 and the impact of admixture on their setting time -initial and final and compressive strength can be found. The initial and final setting time was observed to be increasing remarkably. With increase in percentage of admixture (zeolite) time of the cement blocks increased in the initial and final setting time also ratio of inert filler (dolomite) in the each dry-mix composition was observed and recorded. In the results it was found that to the percentage composition of admixture (zeolite) both initial and final setting time of cement blocks and also the ratio of inert filler in the dry-mix composition itis directly proportional. Quantity of magnesia cement drastically increases with Incorporation of zeolite and this further remarkably increases and improves strength of the cement. Magnesia cement could in fact act as carbon sinks, acting to favorably reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is eco friendly cement.
Eco-sensitive Zones and Ecologically Fragile Lands in Kerala: Known and Unknown
Authors: Samuel Liji
Published: March 2022

Eco-Sensitive Zones or ecologically fragile lands are areas within 10 km around protected areas, national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. ESA are notified by The Ministry Of Environment, Forest And Climate Change (MoEFCC) under the environment protection act 1986. In the case of places with sensitive corridors, connectively and ecologically necessary patches, crucial for landscape linkage, even areas beyond 10 km can also be included in the eco-sensitive zone. The Western Ghats are a mountain range that covers an area of 140,000 sq km spread across six states, including Kerala and runs parallel to Indiaâs western coast. Two consecutive years of unprecedented floods and landslides have killed hundreds of people in Kerala. However, the state government is still undecided on whether to notify areas falling under the Western Ghats as ecosensitive zones (ESZs) to avert further disasters. The Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel (WGEEP), headed by noted ecologist Madhav Gadgil had in 2011 submitted a report recommending measures for the regionâs protection. The primary aim is to regulate certain activities around national parks and wildlife sanctuaries to minimize the negative impacts of such actions on the fragile ecosystem encompassing the protected areas.

The construction industry is growing fast in India. Energy sources used in the clay brick making process worldwide are dominantly derived from fossil fuels. However, through innovative development it has been shown possible for these traditional sources to be successfully replaced by renewable alternatives reducing greenhouse gas emissions to almost zero. In a further innovative step it has been possible to introduce a selective blend of solid by-products wastes into the manufactured bricks to partially replace normally quarried clay. The challenge we face is to achieve an equitable development for all human beings, including future generations, while preserving the integrity of the global environment. One way to do so is to aim at a new growth paradigm and a higher quality of life through wealth creation and competitiveness on the basis of products with a smaller environmental footprint using fewer resources.

This study is a comprehensive monitoring survey to assess the environmental pollution status of the river Dikrong -was carried out in 2020. Samples were taken at 10 different positions along the river from the foot hill of Arunachal Pradesh down to the Brahmaputra river. Besides other biological and chemical parameters, concentrations of Fe, Al, Ti, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, Co, Mn and Cr. Very high element concentrations were determined at only a few stations of the river Dikrong. The mean concentration exhibits positive correlations among Fe, Al, Ti, Mn, Zn, Pb, Ni, and Co. The relative distributions of the contamination are: Al > Fe > Ti > Mn > Cu > Cr > Zn > Pb > Ni > Co. An evaluation of the pollution status of the river was carried out by enrichment factors (EFs), contamination factors (CFs), geo-accumulation indexs (Igeo) and pollution load indexs (PLIs) calculated using adapted background concentrations of heavy metals in the sediments. The investigating factors suggest the significant contamination for Dikrong river sediments are Al and Fe. The mean concentrations of heavy metals in the sediments were found to be below the geochemical background level of world surface rock average. The elemental correlation is indicative to the metamorphosed pyrophanite (MnTiO3) deposition.

Published: March 2022

Sanitation is described as providing facilities and services to dispose of human urine and faeces safely. Clean water and sanitation facilities during menstruation are essential for women to take care of themselves hygienically and confidently. To achieve the goal, a descriptive cross-sectional study of menstruation women in the selected areas was suggested. First, data on cleanliness and menstrual hygiene were obtained from 435 non-tribal and 353 tribal women who were menstruating. Following that, the data is arranged in a comparative analytical fashion. The data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0, which included descriptive and inferential statistics. Gender disparity, discriminatory social norms, cultural taboos, poverty, and a lack of basic conveniences such as latrine and sanitary products may cause menstrual health complicated. The shortage of toilet, water, and waste disposal facilities in their homes and workplaces make the situation more complex. Furthermore, women avoid using the public toilet because of its poor condition and often lack running water; as a result, they are only used in extreme instances. The Indian government has a programme to provide toilets to every family, but this issue has received little attention. Menstrual hygiene management is an essential requirement in the country as well. However, the taboos associated with the menstrual cycle and unhygienic sanitation conditions created a barrier.
