How Lardil got its deletion rules; how the rules got their exceptions
Authors: Round Erich
Published: September 2024

Lardil is renowned for its ordered, synchronic rules of deletion, where a rule of word-final vowel deletion feeds rules of final consonant deletion. One might suppose that this reflects ordered diachronic sound changes of vowel loss followed by later consonant loss, but comparative evidence reveal that this is not the case. Rather, the consonant deletion rules existed already in proto-Tangkic, where they applied word-finally. Additionally, a vowel deletion rule, which affected only a, applied phrase-finally. The diachronic change in Lardil involved an extension of the vowel deletion rule to other vowel qualities, motivated by other language-internal changes, and from phrase-final to all word-final positions, in line with the currently understood typology of diachronic domain shifts in rules (Bermúdez-Otero 2015). We then turn to exceptions to these rules. After some minor cases, we turn to the larger class of word-final a vowels which escape deletion and instead undergo raising to u. Hints of related alternations appear when cognates are compared across the Tangkic family, and can be accounted for in unexceptional terms as follows. Stems ending originally in phonemic Cuwa, where C is labial or velar, had an unsurprising range of phonetic realisations, as Cuwa~Cwa~Ca. When the stem was suffixed, thus the word was longer, the phonetic realisations may have favoured the shorter Cwa~Ca. When word-final vowel deletion applied to phonemic Cuwa, the result was word-final Cu, which alternated with pre-suffixal phonetic Cwa~Ca. Later, within the overall Lardil phonological system, this would naturally have been reanalysed as underlying Ca which idiosyncratically raises to Cu word finally, thereby giving rise to the exception to the deletion rule.
Lexical decision times for nouns from the Croatian Psycholinguistic Database
Authors: Vlašiček Denis , Dumančić Francesca , Tonković Mirjana
Published: September 2024

Megastudies are one of the tools which researchers in psychology and linguistics use when investigating various language phenomena. This study presents an analysis of the association between word length, subjective frequency, concreteness and age of acquisition ratings, and reaction times in a visual lexical decision task. Using a megastudy paradigm, we have collected data on 2614 Croatian nouns, from a total of 92 participants. The results of the analyses conducted on the dataset mostly confirm the findings of previous research — shorter lexical decision times are associated with more frequent words, shorter words, and words acquired earlier in life. Findings on the association between lexical decision times and word concreteness are mixed. Both reaction-level and aggregate data related to the study have been made freely available to the public. The datasets contain lexical and subjective word frequency estimates, word lengths, animacy and gender, as well as word concreteness, imageability and age of acquisition ratings.
“From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free”: History of Slogan and its Political Aspect (According to Foreign Media Data)
Authors:   Postgraduate Student of the Department of World History of Donetsk State University, YANCHENKO Dmitry
Published: September 2024

The media are an important element of the modern information space, providing instant access to a wide variety of data. Another escalation of the Palestinian problem (the conflict in the Gaza Strip) in October 2023 was immediately reflected in the news. Numerous demonstrations soon began to be held in support of the Palestinians, where the inscription “From the river to the sea Palestine will be free” could be seen on posters and banners. This phrase was picked up by various information publications and caused a wave of discussions that combined both criticism and a definition of its meaning. The purpose of this article is to study the history of the slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and its political aspect based on foreign media. The article concluded that the slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” has more than half a century of history and its emergence was due to specific events (UN Plan for the Partition of Palestine of 1947, Nakba, Six-Day War of 1967). Attention was also paid to the issues of perception of this phrase and its conceptual content.

Published: September 2024

This research examines the use of Sentinel-1's enhanced remote method and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) processing to monitor ground subsidence in Pokhara Valley City, Nepal. It aims to comprehend the reciprocal effects of land sinking on environmental sustainability, infrastructure stability, and urban growth. The methodology encompasses the acquisition and processing of Sentinel-1 SAR data, along with rigorous interferometric analysis to detect and quantify ground deformation. Spanning from 2019 to 2022 AD and, -analyzing annual displacement trends, initially, a subsiding trend was observed in 2019-20 AD with an average rate of 0.037 m/year followed by 0.072 m/year in 2020-21 AD, and then escalating to 0.165 m/year in 2021-22 AD. These fluctuations in rates illustrate the intricate interplay of urbanization and geological dynamics affecting land stability in the region. The implications of this study extend to urban planning and infrastructure management, emphasizing the necessity of integrating land subsidence monitoring into the developmental policies and strategies of Pokhara Valley. Additionally, the potential of Sentinel-1 InSAR as a valuable tool for geotechnical investigations offers a non-invasive, cost-effective means to assess and monitor ground deformation risks. By leveraging the capabilities of Sentinel-1 InSAR, the study contributes to the body of knowledge in geotechnical and civil engineering fields, particularly within the context of sustainable urban planning and disaster risk reduction.

Authors: Shah Rajendra Kumar
Published: September 2024

The major objectives of the present study is to identify human rights friendly, unfriendly and paradoxical subject matters included in primary education curriculum and analyze opinions of primary school teachers, students, parents, curriculum designers, and stakeholders of primary education on existing primary education curriculum. Accordingly, desk review and survey method is used in the present study to carry out this research. Respondents of the present study expressed mixed views (positive and negative) on the inclusion of human right education into school curricula and text books and their implementation. However, very few numbers of participants of the workshops spoke against human right education. They were of the view that of human right education contents could be more meaningful and effective if such contents were included in school curricula and textbooks by dealing rights and duties with equal importance. Thus, human right education based primary education curriculum is the urgent need of Nepal but the curriculum should be balanced form all angle.
A study on the contribution of value added tax on economic growth of Nepal
Authors: Kunwar Keshar Bahadur
Published: September 2024

Government of Nepal adopts this system since Nov. 16, 1997. After several year planning and preparation, VAT act was finally passed through parliament in December 1995. VAT became effective through the finance bill of 1997. VAT avoids the another tax such as sales tax, entertainment tax, hotel tax and contract tax, Nepal was introduced consumption types of VAT, base on the destination principle with single positive rate of thirteen percent. Nepal is a developing county; resource mobilization is one of the alternatives to develop. VAT is necessary to introduce for revenue collection, promote economic growth, for improving deteriorating macro economic performance, to establish an account based modern transparent tax system, to make the tax system more scientific, to get the confidence of donor, to make Nepalese tax system effective. Source of VAT revenue in Nepal are domestic VAT and imports VAT. Share of import VAT revenue is two third and share of domestic is one-third in total VAT revenue. It is expected that the share of import and domestic VAT revenue may be equal in near future. Source of domestic VAT revenue are production, distribution and service sectors. Since value added tax (VAT) has recent approach, it has also much potentiality power to generate revenue than earlier sales tax because it covers broad coverage and all level of production, distribution and sales. Revenue is the crucial element for the government to accomplish operating and development activities. Tax is the major source of revenue. It contributes a significant share in total tax revenue and total revenue but a little share in GDP in Nepalese context. Revenue mobilization is one of the major concerns for Nepal.
A walk on the thorny path: Challenges faced by Nepalese teachers in the beginning of their career
Authors: Ojha Laxmi Prasad
Published: September 2024

Teaching is taken as challenging job throughout the world. It is even more challenging in developing countries like Nepal where it has not developed as a profession very well. Although there are challenges throughout teachers' career, the frequency and intensity of the problem is very high during the initial phase of career. This paper reports on the nature of challenges faced by beginning teachers in Nepalese schools based on a small scale survey research. Data were drawn from a survey study conducted in the Kathmandu valley. I adopted qualitative method of data collection and analysis. Forty teacher with less than three years of teaching experience and five head-teachers were purposively selected for the study. The study revealed that the beginning teachers face a range of problems and most of them result because of lack of link between what they learn in the colleges/universities and their work places. It was also found that they face various challenges because of lack of preparation and support from different stakeholders.

Published: September 2024

Cholelithiasis or the gallstone disease is the most common biliary pathology. 10-15% population of western world is estimated to be affected by gallstone disease, of which majority remains asymptomatic (>80%) and 1-2 % of these asymptomatic patients will develop symptoms needing surgery per year. In this prospective study, 77 patients years undergoing elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) and meeting all inclusion criteria in Department of General Surgery, Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital over period of 1 year. History, detailed clinical examination and laboratory investigations were performed as per the working proforma. Operative time and conversion to open cholecystectomy were recorded. The association between clinical, laboratory and sonographic factors with difficult laparoscopy were obtained. Data analysis was done using SPSS-17 version. Out of 77 patients, 63 were females. Body mass index (BMI) above 30 representing obese population were 33.2% with p value 0.0004. Also, 41.5% patients had history of acute cholecystitis while 12.9% patients had previous history of abdominal surgery and 70.1% patients had history of recurrent abdominal pain. Total of 19.4% patients had increased leucocyte count. On ultrasonography thickened GB wall of >3 mm was seen in 42.8%, distended GB was seen in 41.5%, stone size of >1 cm was seen in 70.1% patients and multiple stones were seen in 84.4%. Similarly, duration of surgery was >90 mins in 31.1% and 7.04% patients underwent conversion to open cholecystectomy both of which were considered difficult laparoscopy. Our study reveled that clinical factors like age, BMI, history of acute cholecystitis, previous history of recurrent abdominal pain and past history of abdominal surgery had significant association in prediction of difficult LC.
A Survey on Models of Flows over Time with Flow Dependent Transit Times
Authors: Chhabi Lal Bhusal
Published: September 2024

Ford and Fulkerson introduce the maximum dynamic flow problems with fixed transit times on the arcs and developed the first well known algorithm that sends maximum flow from the source to the sink by augmenting along s-t paths and prove the maximum amount of flow is equal to the total capacity of the arcs in minimum cut. In flows over time with fixed transit time on the arc, the time it takes to traverse an arc does not depend on the current flow situation on the arc. But in real situation, the flow units travelling on the same arc at the same time do not necessarily experience the same pace, i.e., flow units are in general not entering and leaving an arc in the same order. In this paper, we discuss the time expanded graph for load-dependent and inflow[1]dependent transit times. We also discuss the discrete and continuous time flow, earliest arrival flow and quickest transhipment problem.
Applications of the Banach-Stone Theorem on Algebra
Authors: Prem Prakash Kaphle  , Biseswar Prasad Bhatt
Published: September 2024

For two compact Hausdorff spaces X and Y, C(X) and C(Y) are isomorphic if and only if X and Y are homeomorphic. This class result was given by Banach in 1932 and generalized by Stone in 1937. This opened the new way of research towards algebra isomerphisms. The algebraic version of Banach-Stone theorem asserts that C(X) and C(Y) are algebraic isomorphism if and only if X and Y are homeomerphic. In this paper we study the structure on the group of isometric isomorphism from C(X) to itself as an application of Banach-Stone theorem.

Macedońska recepcja polskiej literatury non-fiction
Authors: Tanuševska Lidija
Published: September 2024

Artykuł koncentruje się na opisaniu recepcji polskiej literatury non-fiction w kraju różniącym się od kraju powstania oryginału nie tylko liczbą czytelników, lecz także sytuacją rynkową. Ze względu na brak macedońskich recenzji wybranych dzieł odbiór poszczególnych utworów należących do omawianego gatunku przedstawiono w sposób subiektywny. W Macedonii do tej pory ukazały się przekłady twórczości Ryszarda Kapuścińskiego, Mariusza Szczygła, Agaty Tuszyńskiej, Kamila Bałuka i Wojciecha Jagielskiego. Okazuje się, że na popularność promowanej książki wpływa zarówno obecność pisarza w terenie, jak i dobra reklama oraz nagrody autorów i ich tłumaczy. Do zwiększenia sukcesu w sprzedaży przyczynia się także identyfikowanie się czytelników z treścią. Popularność danego utworu wiąże się nieraz z aktualną polityką, a niekiedy dopiero po jakimś czasie książka zaczyna być promowana. Recepcja polskiej literatury non-fiction ujęta została przez pryzmat tłumacza, a także naukowych odczytań macedońskich literaturoznawców i problemów wydawczych. Celem tekstu jest pokazanie, że konkretne dzieło za granicą może mieć zupełnie inną recepcję niż w kraju i że wpływa na to wiele czynników niezwiązanych z jakością utworu albo przekładu. Celem tekstu jest pokazać, że utwór za granicą powstania może mieć zupełnie inną recepcję niż ta w kraju i że na to wpływają dużo czynników niezwiązanych z jakością utworu albo przekładu.
Zwierzęca eseistyka Tatiany Goriczewej w refleksji genologicznej. Rekonesans
Authors: Małek Krzysztof
Published: September 2024

Zooteologia jako nowa dyscyplina badawcza w Polsce zajmuje się kwestią zwierzęcą w odniesieniu do religii, jej świętych tekstów, praktyk religijnych oraz szeroko rozumianej tradycji, do której zaliczają się również hagiografie chrześcijańskie – wśród wyznawców zarówno wschodnich, jak i zachodnich cieszące się wyjątkową estymą. Celem tego artykułu jest analiza i interpretacja prezentacji istot pozaludzkich w eseistyce Tatiany Goriczewej. W niniejszym opracowaniu uwzględniono refleksje filozoficzne, teologiczne, w tym hagiograficzne, zaproponowane przez współczesną prawosławną filozofkę i teolożkę. Autor szkicu odpowiada na następujące pytania: Czy zwierzęta posiadają w myśli Goriczewej status samodzielnego bytu? Czy można mówić o świętości istot nie-ludzkich? Czy opisy zachowania zwierząt zaprezentowane w hagiografiach zgadzają się z ich behawiorem opisywanym przez biologów/zoologów/etologów? Przeprowadzona analiza pozwoli na wstępne rozstrzygnięcie hipotezy postawionej w tytule artykułu. Badania te mogą stać się przyczynkiem do pogłębiania tego zagadnienia w kolejnych publikacjach, w ramach zarówno zooteologii, jak i ekokrytyki, posthumanizmu czy też animal studies.
Recepcja twórczości Olgi Tokarczuk w Korei Południowej
Authors: Choi Sung-Eun
Published: September 2024

W ciągu ostatnich pięciu lat (2018–2022) sześć książek autorstwa Olgi Tokarczuk zostało przetłumaczonych na język koreański: Prawiek i inne czasy, Bieguni, Dom dzienny, dom nocny, Prowadź swój pług przez kości umarłych, Czuły narrator i Zgubiona dusza. Czytelnicy południowokoreańscy najchętniej wybierają powieści: Bieguni, Prawiek i inne czasy oraz Zgubiona dusza. Niniejszy artykuł dotyczy recepcji twórczości Tokarczuk w Korei Południowej, reakcji koreańskich mediów po ukazaniu się konkretnego utworu, recenzji krytyków literackich oraz pisarzy koreańskich, a także aspektu strategii wydawniczych podejmowanych przez południowokoreańskie wydawnictwa. Ważnym czynnikiem popularności twórczości Tokarczuk w Korei Południowej jest tematyka nawiązująca do nowych i interesujących problemów dla koreańskiego odbiorcy – np. nomadyczna natura człowieka, próba nowego spojrzenia na otaczający nas świat, mit jako uniwersalny wzorzec ludzkiego losu, pomieszanie realizmu i fantastyki, racjonalnego opisu i magii. Wszystko to stanowi wypełnienie pustych miejsc w literaturze i kulturze koreańskiej. Tokarczuk zachęca także do podejmowania refleksji nad sobą, do oglądania świata, do przekraczania granic. Podkreślając, że wszystko na świecie jest ściśle ze sobą związane niczym konstelacja, przypomina nam, że nigdy nie jesteśmy sami. Elementy te oddziałują na Koreańczyków, którzy chętnie czytają książki Tokarczuk.
Na obcej ziemi – relacja Stefana Jana Ślizienia z mołdawskiej wyprawy (Haracz krwią turecką Turkom wypłacony)
Authors: Ryba Renata
Published: September 2024

W artykule podjęto rozważania na temat poematu Stefana Jana Ślizienia pt. Haracz krwią turecką Turkom wypłacony z 1674 roku. Utwór jest słabo obecny w refleksji historycznoliterackiej. Na przybliżenie zasługuje zarówno dzieło należące do zespołu licznych tekstów sławiących zwycięstwo Jana Sobieskiego nad Turkami pod Chocimiem, jak i sam autor jako uczestnik tamtych wydarzeń. Bliższemu oglądowi została poddana ostatnia (z czterech) część utworu, stanowiąca relację poety-żołnierza z zakończonej klęską wyprawy wojsk polskich do Mołdawii na przełomie 1673 i 1674 roku, która zamykała kampanię przeciw otomańskiemu wrogowi. W centrum uwagi postawiono problem, jak żołnierze odbierali otaczającą ich obcą rzeczywistość. Świat realny w warunkach wojennych okazał się nieprzyjazny, a przestrzeń – trudna do oswojenia. Toteż poetycki przekaz został nasycony negatywnymi emocjami, takimi jak: rozczarowanie, niepewność, strach. W tych partiach szkicu dzieło jest osadzone w kontekście geopoetyki; z kolei z perspektywy genologicznej zostało usytuowane w konwencji „ojczystego heroicum”, w tradycji wywiedzionej z antycznych realizacji – eposu Lukana. Obserwując utwór na tle rozmaitych odmian dawnych relacji z podróży, dostrzeżono, że poemat realizuje wojskowy wariant schematu „wędrówki”. Poczynione w niniejszym artykule ustalenia mogą posłużyć dalszym badaniom historycznym oraz z zakresu historii kultury.
Między autobiografią a bedekerem. Pisarki jako przewodniczki
Authors: Zych Justyna
Published: September 2024

Celem artykułu jest zasygnalizowanie i przeanalizowanie symptomatycznego zjawiska na polskim rynku wydawniczym, sytuującego się na pograniczu turystyki i literatury oraz odzwierciedlającego rozmaite powiązania i wzajemne inspiracje zachodzące między użytkową literaturą podróżniczą (przewodniki, spacerowniki), zaliczaną do non-fiction, a beletrystyką. Poświęcony jest on mianowicie serii bedekerów po miastach i wyspach, głównie europejskich, pt. „Podróż Nieoczywista”, ukazującej się od 2019 roku. Szczegółowej analizie poddane zostały przewodniki autorstwa trzech znanych pisarek: Grażyny Plebanek, Manueli Gretkowskiej i Katarzyny Tubylewicz. Studium koncentruje się przede wszystkim na współistnieniu w ich bedekerach i spacerownikach niefikcjonalności topografii miejskiej, autobiograficznych reminiscencji dotyczących opisywanych miejsc oraz nawiązań do fabuły utworów literackich – własnych i cudzych, których akcja rozgrywa się w tych lokalizacjach. Do przeprowadzenia analizy zastosowane zostały pojęcia i koncepcje zaczerpnięte z geopoetyki, studiów miejskich oraz gender studies. Artykuł stanowi przyczynek do zarysowania aktualnego obrazu literatury polskiej, w którym wyraźną tendencją jest przesunięcie gatunków peryferyjnych (przewodnik) w stronę literackiego centrum.
Półka literacka 2023
Authors: Nęcka-Czapska Agnieszka
Published: September 2024

Szkic prezentuje najciekawsze / najbardziej doceniane przez recenzentów polskie książki prozatorskie i poetyckie opublikowane w 2023 roku. Jego celem jest swoiste podsumowanie tego, co działo się na polskim rynku wydawniczym w minionym roku. Autorka próbuje odpowiedzieć na pytania dotyczące tego, jak kształtowały się listy bestsellerów i czy poczucie zagrożenia wywołane choćby pandemią koronawirusa lub wojną w Ukrainie w jakiś sposób wpłynęło na pisarki/pisarzy, poetów/poetki, odbijając się w ich tekstach. Zamysłem było sprawdzenie, jakiego typu literaturę piękną najchętniej wydawano i jacy pisarze/pisarki, poeci/poetki cieszyli się największym zainteresowaniem recenzentów. Przedstawiona krótka analiza i interpretacja dziesięciu utworów prozatorskich i poetyckich pokazuje również, jak o nich pisali inni komentatorzy współczesnego życia literackiego. Wybór książek został zatem oparty nie tyle na subiektywnych odczuciach autorki, ile przede wszystkim na recepcji. Celem szkicu stało się ponadto zaprezentowanie różnorodności publikacyjnej oraz zwrócenie uwagi na najpopularniejsze tendencje twórcze. Wśród omówionych twórców znaleźli się: Martyna Bunda, Anna Cieplak, Darek Foks, Inga Iwasiów, Marcin Kurek, Bartłomiej Majzel, Zośka Papużanka, Marta Podgórnik, Joanna Roszak i Michał Witkowski – a zatem w większości przypadków autorzy doskonale znani polskiej publiczności czytającej, którzy ogłosili swoje nowe książki niekiedy po kilku latach milczenia. Z przygotowanego zestawienia wynika, że szczególnym uznaniem (także „zawodowych”) czytelników cieszyły się przede wszystkim te dzieła, w których twórcy usiłowali scalać rozbite tożsamości, powracali do traumatycznej przeszłości, próbując uporządkować „tu i teraz”. Tekst mieści się w obrębie literaturoznawstwa i krytyki literackiej.
Dyskurs glottoedukacyjny a dyskurs glottodydaktyczny. W poszukiwaniu genus proximum i differentia specifica dyskursu dotyczącego nauki języków obcych (perspektywa lingwistyki historycznej)
Authors: Przyklenk Joanna , Kotlarska Irmina
Published: September 2024

Artykuł wyrasta z przekonania o użyteczności kategorii dyskursu dla prezentacji przeobrażeń działań komunikacyjnych w tekstach dawnych oraz konieczności uzupełnienia lingwistycznych opisów procesu glottodydaktycznego o perspektywę diachroniczną. Opracowanie wpisuje się w polskie badania nad dyskursem o nachyleniu diachronicznym. Jego celem jest rozszerzenie siatki pojęć stosowanych do opisu procesu komunikowania się jednostek w zakresie kształtowania kompetencji w języku obcym oraz przekazywanej wiedzy na temat tego języka i jego użytkowników. Zaproponowanie innego niż glottodydaktyczny określenia do opisu praktyk komunikacyjnych w obszarze nauczania / uczenia się języków obcych wynika z przyjętej optyki diachronicznej. Obserwacja dawnych tekstów dokumentujących edukację obcojęzyczną wskazuje większy niż obecnie udział kształcenia nieformalnego. Kluczowe dla dyskursu glottodydaktycznego profesjonalizacja oraz instytucjonalizacja zaczynają dominować w XX wieku. To sprawia, że termin ten jest mniej adekwatny w odniesieniu do starszych poświadczeń opisujących przestrzeń dyskursywną kształcenia obcojęzycznego. Rozumienie wyrażenia dyskurs glottoedukacyjny zaprezentowano na tle funkcjonujących w literaturze polonistycznej taksonomii dyskursu oraz zakresów pojęciowych terminów: dydaktyka, glottodydaktyka i edukacja. Pozwoliło to ustalić, że dyskurs glottoedukacyjny mieści się w przestrzeni dyskursu edukacyjnego i jest określeniem zakresowo szerszym niż dyskurs glottodydaktyczny. Egzemplifikacją rozważań definicyjnych jest opis elementów innodyskursywnych w tekstach dyskursu glottoedukacyjnego na przykładzie źródeł ilustrujących edukację anglojęzyczną Polaków. Zaprezentowane źródła tekstowe wskazują na dużą chłonność dyskursu glottoedukacyjnego – kształtuje się on w ścisłej łączności z dyskursem instytucjonalnym i specjalistycznym, podlega wpływom ideologicznym; pełni też funkcje tożsamościowe.
Determination of the water requirements in olive trees with lysimeters
Authors: Puppo Collazo Lucia Teresa , Girona Gomis Joan
Published: September 2024

A compensation lysimeter with constant freatic water table of 2 x 2 x 0.80 m was installed in 2004 in a peach grove, in order to study the crop water consumption of the south of Uruguay. Measurements were taken in the first three growing seasons. Evapotranspiration the first season reached 5 mm d-1, equivalent to 56 L in the whole area. The second season, it went up to 5.6 mm d-1 (63 L). When the tree got its adult size, the maximum consumption remained around 6.3 mm d-1 (71 L). The crop coefficient (Kc) was around 0.9 the first season, and 1.2 the following two seasons. Basal crop coefficient (Kcb) was calculated and its value was adjusted by the tri-segmented model. The value was 0.78 the first season, 0.91 the second one, and 1.1 the third one. Some methodological observations are made regarding the lysimeter use. We suggested to add the soil water changes to the mass balance equation, as well as to incorporate irrigation from the surface. Another objective was to make local estimations of the pan coefficients (Kp) for the south of Uruguay to calculate the reference crop evapotranspiration according to Penman-Monteith modified by FAO (FAO-PM ETo). The use of a single Kp (0.71) during the irrigation season gave a good estimate for the south of the country. The use of this single coefficient to correct the pan evaporation data is simple, it is easy to deal with by producers, and it represents a good estimate of the ETo. This value must be calibrated for other areas of the country.
Urban tree risk assessment
Authors: Duarte Coelho Ana Paula , Ponce Hernán Mauricio , Daniluk Gustavo
Published: September 2024

Urban trees provide ecosystem services of great importance to the city. To take advantage of these services, it is important that the trees are in good condition, minimizing the risk to people, goods, and essential activities due to the fall of branches or entire trees. Therefore, their condition must be duly evaluated to favor their presence in the city with acceptable levels of risk. The main goal of the research was to propose a visual risk assessment protocol for urban trees located in parks in Montevideo, Uruguay. The methodology was divided into three phases, carried out between October 2018 and February 2021 at Parque José Batlle y Ordóñez. A total of 60 trees were assessed, 30 of the Tipuana genus and 30 of Eucalyptus, with 17 assessors of different levels of knowledge and experience participating. In phase 1, the three levels of risk assessment were analyzed, according to the ANSI A300 standard (limited, basic, and advanced), six methods of basic visual assessment used internationally, and non-destructive evaluations (sonic tomography and resistograph). In phase 2, three evaluation methods were developed and analyzed (Fast Visual - FV, Basic Visual - BV and Detailed Visual - DV). In phase 3, a risk assessment protocol with these three levels was built and analyzed. The main findings showed significant differences between types of assessors, genus, methods, and interaction between them. The proposed FV, BV and DV evaluation methods were effective and efficient in the applied situations. The semi-quantitative risk rating analysis proved to be more suitable for the BV method, while the qualitative analysis was more suitable for the DV. Good repeatability of the use of the protocol was observed, with an average agreement of 80% in FV and DV methods and 60% in BV. The proposed protocol was able to discriminate trees by their level of risk and is viable to be used in urban parks in Montevideo.
What is Needed to Provide High-Quality Cultural and Spiritual Care in Long-Term Care Homes?
Authors: Cameron Nadine , Rayner Jo-Anne , Fetherstonhaugh Deirdre , McAuliffe Linda
Published: September 2024

Context: Providing high-quality care to older people living in long-term care homes requires consideration of their cultural backgrounds and spiritual beliefs. Objective: To ascertain the views of key informants from Australian culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI), and spiritual care organisations about providing high-quality cultural and spiritual care in long-term care homes. Method: Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with seven representatives of these Australian organisations. Interview transcripts were thematically analysed. Findings: The importance of cultural and spiritual care to older people living in long-term care was acknowledged. However, it was noted that this care for older people from diverse CALD, ATSI, and spiritual backgrounds was often absent due to staff ignorance, lack of awareness, and assumptions. Staff need further education to provide culturally and spiritually appropriate care; long-term care homes need to incorporate an organizational approach to providing culturally and spirituality appropriate care; and staff should be encouraged to consult experts in cultural and spiritual care when the care they provide is insufficient. Cultural and spiritual care champions may be an appropriate way of disseminating knowledge and establishing a culturally and spiritually aware workforce. Limitations: The small number of existing Australian cultural and spiritual care organisations, and the smaller number of representatives within these organisations who have experience with older people living in long-term care homes, limited the number of eligible participants. Implications for practice Long-term care homes must invest in comprehensive education to better equip staff to provide high-quality cultural and spiritual care to older people. Education should assist staff in identifying the range of life areas to which culture and spiritual care have relevance and how to apply appropriate knowledge. Staff should be aware of the available guidelines about culturally and spiritually informed care; and recognise when to consult experts. Workplace champions can provide and encourage an ethos where culture and spirituality are considered in everyday care.

The forests NDVI increases when moving from the northwest and east of the region to its central part, from north to south, and with decreasing altitude. Minimum NDVI values (0.437–0.719) are typical for the northwestern part of the region, maximum (0.743–0.849) – the southern, medium (0.719–0.743) – the eastern, medium and high (0.719–0.768) – the central, high (0.743–0.768) – the western ones.
Gender, Law and Society in Islam
Authors: Zaleha Kamaruddin
Published: September 2024

The thought that immediately comes to my mind when reading “Gender, Law and Society in Islam” is the sincere attempt made by Professor Anis Ahmad, the author, in recording his decades of experience not just dealing with key issues on gender but as a social scientist and distinguished professor of comparative religion and Islamic studies in Pakistan and across the globe. This valuable experience has been adeptly curated into a framework that is not only thought-provoking but easy to follow. This book contributes to a growing body of literature on gender studies – specifically on a line of inquiry that has formed around certain important contemporary issues in gender from an Islamic perspective. The aim of this book according to the author is an academic effort to elaborate features of an ethical worldview and the new identity it provides to both genders. He insists throughout this book that this identity is not based on the superiority of one gender over another, but rather on “ethical transcendence” whereupon individuals are elevated due to excellence in their good deeds. His search for viable solutions in the light of guidance from the Qur’an is illustrated through his formation of a theoretical framework which assists readers in understanding the Qur’anic worldview brought forth in this book.
Issues of integration of the socio-cultural component into landscape design in the training of bachelor designers
Authors: Zakharova Natalia Iurevna
Published: September 2024

The presented scientific discourse examines some aspects of the integration of the sociocultural scenario into landscape design in the context of training bachelor designers. In the process of teaching bachelors in landscape design, the priority should be the increasing role of space ecology and the health-improving capabilities of the living environment. Various options for combining and interconnecting landscape design components are analyzed from the point of view of their social and cultural dominance. It is noted that in the current environmental situation, green spaces are an important factor in optimizing the development of urban areas and explore the ecological component of urban landscapes, indicating that the presence of plants stabilizes and reduces the environmental tension of the urban environment. Cultural recognition of landscape components creates a psychologically comfortable environment in the city space.

Covers a list of analytical and original scientific research, the result of creative activity in the field of creating innovations in costume design and communications, design and manufacturing technology of fashion industry objects; consideration of the concept of creating design products and solutions that are not only functional and comfortable, but also have deep aesthetic and cultural content. The implementation and elaboration of the designated concept is due to the fact that design and art are closely related and these large areas today are very closely intertwined, enriching each other. Design often takes inspiration from art, using its elements, techniques and ideas to create new products, services and spaces, and art, in turn, uses design methods and approaches to expand its influence and achieve greater relevance and social significance in relation to costume design on the example of the creativity of modern world designers and students of the Department of Computer Science and Design of ISOiP (branch) of DSTU in Shakhty.
Informatsionnaia gramotnost' i sotsializatsiia v mediasrede v formirovanii khudozhestvennoi i professional'noi lichnosti studentov bakalavrov dizainerov
Authors: Goriacheva Elena Anatolevna
Published: September 2024

The chapter examines the theoretical aspects of the problem of the information literacy formation, as well as significant media qualities of studying youth’s personalities, and their socialization in the context of global informatization of education. Personality is understood as a complex, versatile, and voluminous concept of the inner and social essence of an individual. It is defined as a person who constantly develops his inner qualities in a social environment, manifested in the process of communication. The possibilities of the influence of media environment and media education on the formation of student’s personality and media literacy in architectural, artistic, and technological directions and design are investigated. The process, methodological features, and results of professional and artistic education in the media environment and the real environment were also explored in this article. The author concludes the importance of acquiring media information literacy, critical thinking in the formation of a student's artistic and professional personality, and his successful socialization in the media environment. Socialization in the media environment is viewed as a self-developing professional entry into a new information system with the assimilation of rules and acquisition of knowledge and skills, excluding social risks. The research methodology is based on the interdisciplinary paradigm, the principles of consistency and scientific nature, psychological and pedagogical concepts of personality-oriented education as well as the didactic concept of teaching via digital technologies. The educational technologies described by the author can be applied in teaching art students, architects, art-technologists, and designers.
Legal principles of forest fire protection on radiation hazardous lands of Ukraine in modern conditions
Authors: Hulak Olena , Holiaka Dmytrii
Published: September 2024

The legal framework for protecting forests from wildfires on radiation hazardous lands in Ukraine, especially in the current environment, considering the new challenges and threats posed by both martial law and accelerated climate change, requires a thorough analysis of the current legislation in this area, clarification of legal gaps, and identification of the most priority areas for its improvement. The purpose of this study was to analyse the system of current legislation aimed at regulating the protection and defence of forests from fires, including on radiation-hazardous lands of Ukraine, and to assess the level of efficiency of legal regulation of these social relations and to evaluate them. The methodological principles in the context of the study were general and special methods of scientific cognition, including formal logical, comparative legal, formal legal, statistical, analysis and synthesis, and dialectical methods. The study substantiated the complex nature of the system of forest protection against fires on radiation-hazardous lands. The study analysed the risks and threats of forest fires on radiation-hazardous lands in Ukraine. It is stated that the state of fire safety on the lands of the forest fund that have been affected by radiation is the most threatening at the present stage. Generalisations were made containing a set of necessary measures aimed primarily at strengthening the due level of interaction between the relevant services in organising forest protection from fires on radiation-hazardous lands of Ukraine in modern conditions. The practical value of this study lies in the fact that, considering the scientific theory and a set of methods of scientific cognition, it provides a thorough analysis of Ukrainian legislation and clarifies the peculiarities of legal support for the protection of Ukrainian forests from fires on radiation-hazardous lands at the present stage, which helped to determine the real state of legal regulation of the relevant area and gaps in the organisation of its application, which should actualise the improvement of law-making and law enforcement practice in the area under study. The findings of this study can be used to update the legal support for the activities of public institutions implementing the state policy in the field of forest protection on lands subjected to radioactive contamination
