Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is among the leading causes of death, usually in underdeveloped countries, being the state of Baja California with most cases and deaths in Mexico. This infection can affect pericardium, although infrequent and it represents 1-4% of the cases of tuberculosis. The relevance of this presentation is the difficulty of diagnosis and high mortality. Objective: Demonstrate the importance of keeping the high suspicion that this type of tuberculosis in endemic entities because of high mortality and the existence of treatment. Description Of The Cases: 39 year old male who practiced sex with men and had multiple comorbidities. Referred to the emergency department to start antituberculous treatment. During his stay he presented deterioration of health. Pericardiocentesis was performed with results suggestive of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. He subsequently presents cardio respiratory arrest without spontaneous return of the circulation. The second case it’s about a 69 year old male who came into the emergency room with lower respiratory tract infection symptoms with two months of evolution and signs of cardiac insufficiency. An echocardiogram was performed meeting pericardial effusion which confirms the etiology of tuberculosis and started an antituberculous treatment with good evolution until discharge. Conclusion: Currently, in endemic zones of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is important to suspect this agent in view of typical presentation of infection and atypical presentation of frequent pathologies.

Bebida fermentada sustentável “tipo iogurte grego” à base de leitelho
Authors:   , Santos Herlândia Cotrim
Published: September 2023

O leitelho é um coproduto da fabricação da manteiga que possui alto valor nutricional e funcional, entretanto, muitas vezes, é subutilizado ou descartado, especialmente em pequenos e médios laticínios. Assim, a aplicação deste coproduto em diferentes matrizes alimentares é uma forma de contribuir com a preservação do meio ambiente e reduzir gastos com o tratamento de efluentes pelas indústrias. Adicionalmente, é uma maneira de disponibilizar produtos de alto valor nutritivo e menor custo para diferentes nichos de consumidores. Nesse sentido, esse trabalho objetivou desenvolver formulações de bebidas lácteas fermentadas, “tipo iogurte grego”, com baixo teor de gordura à base de leitelho. Foram elaboradas cinco formulações de bebidas lácteas fermentadas, contendo proporções diferentes de leite desnatado:leitelho (em %, m/m): F1-100:0; F2-75:25; F3-50:50; F4-25:75 e F5- 0:100. Estas formulações foram submetidas às análises de composição centesimal, pH, sinérese, capacidade de retenção de água, microbiológicas, sensoriais e reológicas. Os resultados demonstraram que, em geral, a composição centesimal e o pH de todas as formulações foram muito semelhantes e apresentaram parâmetros microbiológicos dentro dos padrões estabelecidos pela legislação Brasileira (< 3 MPN/mL para coliformes e < 10 UFC/mL para fungos filamentosos e leveduras). Ao longo dos 16 dias de armazenamento, a presença do leitelho nas formulações provocou melhora na capacidade de retenção de água (CRA) quando comparada à formulação com 100% de leite. A formulação com 25% de leitelho foi a que teve melhor CRA (62,72%). Comportamento semelhante foi observado para a sinérese, onde houve uma tendência decrescente da sinérese para todas as formulações, sendo a formulação com 25% de leitelho apresentou o menor valor de sinérese (11,50%). Os parâmetros reológicos mostraram que as bebidas lácteas fermentadas apresentaram comportamento de fluido não newtoniano, com características pseudoplásticas. O modelo reológico que melhor se ajustou aos dados experimentais na última curva foi o de Herschel-Bulkley, com o R 2 > 0,9. Nas duas temperaturas avaliadas (5 e 25°C), a formulação com adição de 25% de leitelho apresentou os maiores valores de viscosidade (1,18 e 0,98, respectivamente). Além disso, observou-se que o aumento da concentração de leitelho favoreceu a redução da viscosidade das formulações. As formulações com leitelho como substituto parcial (até 50%) do leite desnatado foram bem aceitas pelos consumidores (impressão global > 7,47) e obteve boa intenção de compra, não diferindo (p>0,05) da formulação com 100% de leite. Assim, é possível utilizar o leitelho como substituto parcial do leite para o desenvolvimento de bebida láctea fermentada "tipo iogurte grego", levando à obtenção de um produto nutritivo e com boa aceitação sensorial, fortalecendo a bioeconomia.

Ce que la préhistoire fait à la théologie
Authors: Grosos Philippe
Published: September 2023

L’œuvre du père Teilhard de Chardin est exemplaire de ce que l’introduction de la question préhistorique fait aux sciences humaines lorsqu’elle s’introduit en leur champ disciplinaire : elle les met dans l’obligation ou de se reformuler ou d’être en porte-à-faux avec la science de leur temps. Aussi la vertu première de l’œuvre de Teilhard, au-delà même des thèses qu’il a pu soutenir, est d’avoir été, sinon le premier, du moins un des premiers hommes d’Église, à envisager une théologie qui en prenne acte.
Teilhard de Chardin théologien ?
Authors: Euvé François
Published: September 2023

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin n’était pas théologien de profession, mais son œuvre a surtout été reçue – et parfois contestée – dans le domaine religieux. Il n’a pas prétendu proposer une réflexion systématique mais renouveler la pensée chrétienne pour la mettre en cohérence avec les connaissances scientifiques. C’est ainsi que la théologie doit devenir une recherche permanente. En dépit de quelques limites, en particulier sur la question du mal, sa pensée peut rester inspirante pour le travail du théologien. Dans le dialogue avec les sciences, c’est une « nouvelle face de Dieu » qui se révèle.
Le christianisme sans histoire
Authors: Feneuil Anthony
Published: September 2023

Le christianisme est-il essentiellement lié à l’histoire, au sens restreint de l’histoire enregistrée à partir du Néolithique ? Cet article montre que la pensée de Teilhard de Chardin offre une tentative de répondre « non » à cette question, en imaginant un christianisme sans histoire et dont la portée pourrait ainsi dépasser les limites de notre histoire. À partir de deux problèmes, celui de la préhistoire et celui de la vie extra-terrestre, et des questions qu’ils posent au christianisme, l’article décrit la manière dont Teilhard s’engage dans cette entreprise de reconfiguration des principaux concepts chrétiens pour les adapter à la fin du Néolithique et à la sortie de l’histoire humaine vers celle de l’Univers.

Authors: TERZİOĞLU Candan , AYHAN Fatma
Published: September 2023

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between social media addiction and social exclusion among university students. A descriptive and cross-sectional study included 466 university students, reached through social media platforms. Research data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of an introductory information form, the Social Media Addiction Scale-Student Form, and the Ostracism Scale for Adolescents, all prepared using Google Forms. The data obtained from the research were analyzed using the SPSS program. The mean total score on the Social Media Addiction Scale-Student Form for the participating students was 70.75±18.47, while the mean total score on the Ostracism (social exclusion) Scale for Adolescents was 20.36±5.97. It was determined that 45.9% of the students scored above the scale average on the social media addiction scale, and 60.3% scored above the scale average on the social exclusion scale. It was found that social exclusion is a predictor of social media addiction. In preventing social media addiction among university students, creating healthy environments where students can engage in social activities and considering the situation of social exclusion in the provision of psychosocial health services may be beneficial.
A study of heterogeneous traffic noise trigger parameters for urban areas
Authors: Lakawa Irwan , Hujiyanto Hujiyanto , Haryono Haryono
Published: September 2023

So far, the review of the parameters that trigger traffic noise in urban areas has been partially based on only one factor, namely traffic flow. Meanwhile, other factors have not been included as variables that trigger traffic noise and the analysis has not been conducted simultaneously. In this research, the noise level was measured using a Sound Level Meter (SLM) and analyzed using a mathematical equation. The method for determining the parameters that trigger noise was analyzed through a simultaneous equation system using SmartPLS. The results of the study show that in big cities with heterogeneous traffic, the traffic composition is more dominated by motorcycles at 64%, followed by light vehicles at 32%, and heavy vehicles at 4% with an average vehicle speed of 36 km/h. The low speed is not due to traffic congestion but is mainly caused by driver behavior of not accelerating their vehicles. The parameters that can be used as indicators of heterogeneous traffic noise triggers in urban areas are traffic aspects with indicators of motorcycle volume and traffic density, road physical aspects with superelevation indicator, as well as environmental aspects of the road with the air temperature indicator.
Impact of Feed Quality on Livestock Productivity
Authors: Baris Ahmet
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate impact of feed quality on livestock productivity.

Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: High-quality feed rich in essential nutrients, such as protein and energy, plays a crucial role in enhancing the growth, reproduction, and overall health of livestock. Research consistently demonstrates that access to nutritious feed leads to increased weight gain in meat-producing animals, higher milk yields in dairy cattle, and improved reproductive performance in breeding stock. Conversely, poor-quality feed or inadequate nutrition can lead to stunted growth, lower milk production, reduced fertility, and increased susceptibility to diseases. Therefore, optimizing feed quality through proper nutrition management is a fundamental factor in maximizing livestock productivity and ensuring sustainable agricultural practices.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Nutrient Utilization Theory, Liebig's Law of the Minimum and Optimal Foraging Theory may be used to anchor future studies on impact of feed quality on livestock productivity. Livestock producers should implement stringent quality control measures to ensure the consistency and safety of animal feeds. Government agencies and industry associations can develop educational programs and training initiatives for livestock farmers.

Pott’s disease: rare but not extinct

In a 78-year-old woman with a history of colon diverticulitis, an incidental finding of spondylodiscitis T12-L2 was found on the CT scan to evaluate the diverticulitis. The finding was confirmed on an MRI, showing multifocal involvement of T12-L2 and the intervertebral discs with alongside an intraspinal abscess collection and a psoas abscess. Further investigations (hemocultures and cultures of the abscess) remained negative. Empirical antibiotic therapy was initiated with intravenous ceftriaxone and metronidazole for 6 weeks. The patient was discharged after the antibiotic treatment.

One week later, the patient presented at the emergency department due to abnormal liver function values. Because of the multifocal lytic lesions, she received a pedicle screw fixation T11-L2 with a biopsy of L2 at the same time. The biopsy sample showed a positive PCR for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The patient was diagnosed with tuberculous spondylitis. Multidrug anti-tubercular therapy was initiated with a 4-drug regimen (rifampicine, isoniazide, ethambutol and pyrazinamide).
Analisis Implementasi Kebijakan Pengelolaan Sampah Di Kota Payakumbuh
Authors: Okhtafianny Tiwi , Ariani Ria
Published: September 2023

Penelitian ini menganalisis implementasi kebijakan pengelolaan sampah di Kota Payakumbuh berdasarkan Peraturan Daerah Nomor 4 Tahun 2019. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus dan data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan studi dokumen melibatkan pihak terkait seperti Dinas Lingkungan Hidup (DLH), pelaku usaha, dan masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kendala utama dalam implementasi kebijakan ini. Komunikasi antara DLH dan masyarakat kurang optimal karena sosialisasi hanya saat Perda dikeluarkan dan tidak konsisten dalam waktu pelaksanaannya. Sumber daya manusia di DLH belum sesuai kebutuhan dan anggaran terbatas menjadi hambatan pelaksanaan kebijakan. Faktor penghambat lainnya termasuk penerapan sanksi yang belum berjalan, rendahnya kesadaran dan partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengelolaan sampah, dan kurangnya sosialisasi program. Pemerintah perlu meningkatkan komunikasi dan sosialisasi dengan masyarakat mengenai pengelolaan sampah sesuai Perda dan diperlukan juga kerjasama antar pihak terkait untuk mencapai keberlanjutan lingkungan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat yang lebih baik.
Typomorphism of placer diamonds from the Near-Sayany Region in connection with the problem of their primary sources
Authors: KHACHATRYAN GALINA , ANASHKINA NATALIA
Published: September 2023

Structural impurities and defects in diamonds from placer deposits of the Near-Sayany Region were first investigated using the IR-Fourier spectroscopy technique. The diamonds are dominated by individuals (the main population) with relatively low both the total nitrogen contents and the degree of its aggregation in the crystals. For the most part, these diamonds are characterized by a laminated structure of the faces (octahedra, rhombododecahedra, and their transitional forms) and are similar to diamonds from pipes of the Daldyn-Alakit district in Yakutia. It is suggested that the primary sources of diamonds of the main population from the placers of the Near-Sayany Region were represented by kimberlite bodies.

Agricultural Teacher Education Functions Can Be Delivered More Effectively Through A Department Of Vocational Education
Authors: Shinn Glen C. , Cheek Jimmy G.
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this article is to advocate the position that agricultural teacher education functions can be delivered more effectively though a department of agricultural and extension education than a department of vocational education. Both authors are faculty members in such departments and this article is based upon our professional experiences both in an out of such departments. Our purpose is to present a rationale for departments of agricultural and extension education, discuss relevant issues, and stimulate reflective thinking. However, before we examine the relationship of a delivery system to the effectiveness of teacher education, we should re-examine the mission of teacher education in agriculture since organizational structure promulgates a climate which affects the execution of missions.

Introduction: Planned home births are often a safe option for low-risk pregnancies, according to prior studies. This study aims to ascertain the characteristics of planned home deliveries with skilled medical staff in low-risk pregnancies as well as the outcomes on mother and infant health in Denpasar, Bali.
Methods:  The planned home births from 2010 to 2019 were examined in this study using a retrospective descriptive design. The study included all intended home deliveries, including those that required hospital transfers owing to difficulties. As many as 168 planned home births with private doctor assistance made up the study’s sample. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were both examined in this analysis.
Results: The mean age of the sample in this study was 32 years.  The findings indicate that women planning a home delivery with a licensed doctor in low-risk pregnancies have a better likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth and favorable outcomes for maternal health. Additionally, there is a reduced likelihood of hospital transfer (10%). Furthermore, evidence demonstrates that planned home births are typically linked to fetal wellbeing.
Conclusion:  The majority of women gave birth between 38 and 40 weeks gestation. The majority of samples were deliveries were normal vaginal births. The main reasons for transfer were due to the arrested cervical dilation or the arrested progress of the fetal head.

Trace mineral concentrations and accretion rates in the empty body and body tissues of growing Fleckvieh (German Simmental) bulls
Authors: Honig Aniela C. , Inhuber Vivienne , Spiekers Hubert , Windisch Wilhelm , Götz Kay-Uwe , Strauß Gerhard , Ettle Thomas
Published: September 2023

Abstract. This research project aimed to generate basic data for
specifying the trace mineral requirements of Fleckvieh (German Simmental)
bulls. Hence, the concentrations of the trace minerals iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu),
and manganese (Mn) in the empty-body and body tissue fractions of growing
Fleckvieh bulls slaughtered at 120–780 kg live weight were determined.
Results were used to calculate trace mineral accretion rates. Fe and Zn
represented the largest shares in the animals' bodies. The Zn accretion
increased, while Mn accretion steadily declined during cattle growth. Fe
accretion attained a maximum at 400 kg live weight. Cu accretion declined
until 600 kg live weight and then increased slightly afterwards. The provided
data may be used to adjust the recommendations with respect to the trace mineral
requirements of growing Fleckvieh bulls.
Acquiring high-resolution wind measurements by modifying radiosonde sounding procedures
Authors: Faber Jens , Gerding Michael , Köpnick Torsten
Published: September 2023

Abstract. High-resolution wind measurements are crucial for the understanding of dynamic processes in the atmosphere. In the troposphere and lower stratosphere, radiosondes provide a good vertical resolution of a few metres, but the wind data are usually low-pass filtered by the manufacturer in order to suppress disturbances in the data caused by the spurious motions of the sonde. As an example, the filter within the standard processing of Vaisala radiosondes becomes effective at vertical scales below 300 m for an ascent rate of 5 m s−1. We describe a method for increasing the usable resolution of radiosonde wind measurements. The main ideas are to avoid self-induced motions of the balloon by keeping it in the subcritical Reynolds number range, to avoid typical pendulum motions of a 15 s period by using a shorter string, and to use data from a descending balloon in order to avoid disturbances from the wake of the balloon affecting temperature and humidity measurements due to the decreased string length. We demonstrate that our changes in hardware and software allow for artefact-free wind data down to scales of 50 m, while the remaining disturbances on even smaller scales are removed. Accordingly, the usable resolution of the wind data has been increased by a factor of 6, compared to the standard data output, at relatively low cost.
Investigation of historical severe storms and storm tides in the German Bight with century reanalysis data
Authors: Meyer Elke Magda Inge , Gaslikova Lidia
Published: September 2023

Abstract. Century reanalysis models offer a possibility to investigate extreme events and gain further insights into their impact through numerical experiments. In this paper, we investigate whether the atmospheric data from the reanalysis models are suitable for simulating historical severe storm tides in the North Sea and whether higher storm tides could have occurred considering different tidal phases. In general, storm tides could be reproduced, and some individual ensemble members are suitable for the reconstruction of respective storm tides. However, the highest observed water level in the German Bight (southern eastern North Sea) could not be simulated with sufficient accuracy. Storms with northerly tracks show less variability in wind speed and a better agreement with the observed water level for the German Bight. The impact of two severe historical storms that peaked at low tide is investigated with shifted tides, resulting in dangerously high water levels only at Husum in the eastern German Bight.
Metamorphic titanite–zircon pseudomorphs after igneous zirconolite
Authors: Urueña Cindy L. , Möller Charlotte , Plan Anders
Published: September 2023

Abstract. The formation of metamorphic zircon after baddeleyite is
a well-known reaction that can be used to date the metamorphism of igneous
silica-undersaturated rocks. By contrast, metamorphic minerals formed after
igneous zirconolite have rarely been reported. In this paper, we document
metamorphic titanite + zircon pseudomorphs formed from the metamorphic
breakdown of igneous zirconolite in syenodiorite and syenite, in the
southeastern Sveconorwegian Province, Sweden. Water-rich fluid influx during
tectonometamorphism in epidote–amphibolite-facies metamorphic conditions
caused the release of silica during a metamorphic reaction involving igneous
feldspar and pyroxene and the simultaneous breakdown of igneous Zr-bearing
phases. Typical titanite + zircon intergrowths are elongated or platy
titanite crystals speckled with tiny inclusions of zircon. Most intergrowths
are smaller than 15 µm; some are subrounded in shape. Locally,
bead-like grains of titanite and zircon are intergrown with silicate
minerals. The precursor igneous zirconolite was found preserved only in a
sample of near-pristine igneous syenodiorite, as remnant grains of mainly
< 2 µm in size. Two somewhat larger crystals, 8 and 12 µm, allowed semiquantitative confirmation using microprobe analysis.
Analogous with zircon pseudomorphs after baddeleyite, titanite + zircon
pseudomorphs after zirconolite potentially offer dating of the metamorphic
reaction, although the small size of the crystals makes dating with today's
techniques challenging. The scarcity of reports of zirconolite and
pseudomorphs reflects that they are either rare or possibly overlooked.
Assimilation of the AMSU-A radiances using the CESM (v2.1.0) and the DART (v9.11.13)–RTTOV (v12.3)

Published: September 2023

Abstract. To improve the initial condition (“analysis”) for numerical
weather prediction, we attempt to assimilate observations from the Advanced
Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) on board the low-Earth-orbiting
satellites. The data assimilation system, used in this study, consists of
the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) and the Community Earth System
Model as the global forecast model. Based on the ensemble Kalman filter
scheme, DART supports the radiative transfer model that is used to simulate
the satellite radiances from the model state. To make the AMSU-A data
available to be assimilated in DART, preprocessing modules are developed,
which consist of quality control, spatial thinning, and bias correction
processes. In the quality control, two sub-processes are included, outlier
test and channel selection, depending on the cloud condition and surface
type. The bias correction process is divided into scan-bias correction and
air-mass-bias correction. Like input data used in DART, the observation errors
are also estimated for the AMSU-A channels. In the trial experiments, a
positive analysis impact is obtained by assimilating the AMSU-A observations
on top of the DART data assimilation system that already makes use of the
conventional measurements. In particular, the analysis errors are
significantly reduced in the whole troposphere and lower stratosphere over
the Northern Hemisphere. Overall, this study demonstrates a positive impact
on the analysis when the AMSU-A observations are assimilated in the DART
assimilation system.

Abstract. The Mediterranean marine heatwave during the warm season (May–September) and the fall period (October–December) of 2022 is analysed using Argo floats in-situ observations in the upper 2000 m of depth. Based on the 2022 ocean heat content anomaly, five study regions (North Western Mediterranean, South Western Mediterranean, central Ionian Sea, Pelops Gyre, southern Adriatic Sea) most affected by warming in different layers were selected and investigated. Temperature anomaly profiles T’(z) computed for each area and for both periods, were divided into three categories based on vertical heat penetration: Category 1 (shallow, 0–150 m), Category 2 (intermediate, 150–700 m) and Category 3 (deep, > 700 m). Category 1 profiles had a temperature anomaly near zero or slightly negative in a thin layer between 50 m and 150 m depth, while warming was observed below the middle layer. Profiles characterized by greater vertical heat penetration (categories 2 and 3) were mainly in mesoscale or sub basin structures and showed the largest positive temperature anomaly in the surface layer and thermocline. All profile categories showed warming between 200 and 800 m depth. During the fall period all sectors show similar warming in the layer below 200 m depth, except for the SAP, which records an anomalous warming in the intermediate and deep layer. The present work highlights the warming characteristics along the entire water column in different regions of the Mediterranean Sea, some of which are characterised by dynamic activities. This sheds light on possible scenarios changes with implications on the variation of the ocean processes that regulate the thermohaline circulation and thus, the climate system.
Quantifying frost weathering induced rock damage in high alpine rockwalls
Authors: Mayer Till , Deprez Maxim , Schröer Laurenz , Cnudde Veerle , Draebing Daniel
Published: September 2023

Abstract. Frost weathering is a key mechanism of rock failure in periglacial environments and landscape evolution. At high alpine rockwalls, freezing regimes are a combination of diurnal and sustained seasonal freeze-thaw regimes and both influence frost cracking processes. Recent studies have tested the effectiveness of freeze-thaw cycles by measuring weathering proxies for frost damage in low-strength and grain-supported pore space rocks, but detecting frost damage in low-porosity and crack-dominated alpine rocks is challenging due to small changes in these proxies that are close to the detection limit. Consequently, the assessment of frost weathering efficacy in alpine rocks may be flawed. In order to fully determine the effectiveness of both freezing regimes, freeze-thaw cycles and sustained freezing were simulated on low-porosity high-strength Dachstein limestone under temperature and moisture conditions that reflect those found in high alpine rockwalls. Frost-induced rock damage was uniquely quantified by combining X-ray computed micro-tomography (µCT), acoustic emission (AE) monitoring and frost cracking modelling. To differentiate between potential mechanisms of rock damage, thermal- and ice-induced stresses were simulated and compared with AE activity. µCT combined with AE data revealed frost damage on low-porosity alpine rocks with crack growth along pre-existing cracks with magnitudes dependent on the initial crack density. It was observed that diurnal freeze-thaw cycles have a higher frost cracking efficacy on alpine rocks compared to a seasonal sustained freezing regime. On north-facing high alpine rockfaces, the number of freeze-thaw cycles and the duration of sustained freezing conditions vary with elevation and seasonal climate. The experimental results establish a link between frost damage and elevation-dependent rockwall erosion rates, which has implications for hazard prediction in mountainous areas under a changing climate.
A neighborhood search integer programming approach for wind farm layout optimization
Authors: Pérez-Rúa Juan-Andrés , Stolpe Mathias , Cutululis Nicolaos Antonio
Published: September 2023

Abstract. Two models and a heuristic algorithm to address the wind farm layout optimization problem are presented. The models are linear integer programming formulations where candidate locations of wind turbines are described by binary variables. One formulation considers an approximation of the power curve by means of a stepwise constant function. The other model is based on a power-curve-free model where minimization of a measure closely related to total wind speed deficit is optimized. A special-purpose neighborhood search heuristic wraps these formulations with increasing tractability and effectiveness compared to the full model that is not contained in the heuristic. The heuristic iteratively searches for neighborhoods around the incumbent using a branch-and-cut algorithm. The number of candidate locations and neighborhood sizes are adjusted adaptively. Numerical results on a set of publicly available benchmark problems indicate that a proxy for total wind speed deficit as an objective is a functional approach, since high-quality solutions of the metric of annual energy production are obtained when using the latter function as an substitute objective. Furthermore, the proposed heuristic is able to provide good results compared to a large set of distinctive approaches that consider the turbine positions as continuous variables.

The purpose of the article is to describe the use of financial instruments of anticrisis management and their effectiveness in overcoming crisis situations based on
international and Armenian experience. The objectives are as follows: to analyze the
international experience of anti-crisis management, characteristics, current trends, study and evaluate the Armenian experience. Crisis management is particularly important in the context of public institutions due to the potentially overwhelming consequences (impact) of systemic crises on society as a whole. The research used general (synthesis, verification and tracking of dynamics and trends of macroeconomic indicators) and special (comparative analysis) scientific methods.
As a result of the research carried out in the article, it was found that to overcome
the coronavirus pandemic, governments have tried to respond to the crisis and control it uses various tools, despite the enormous scale and high rate of spread. Some governments have focused on gratuitous forms of financial assistance, others on
reimbursable ones. Like the financial markets of the world, the reaction in the domestic
markets has been extremely fast and violent. In the context of the decline of the global
economy, the negative developments of the external sector have caused significant risks for the domestic macroeconomic environment of RA, which in turn has caused a high level of uncertainty regarding positive expectations. Thanks to the policy of the RA
government and the Central Bank, the banking system has been able to maintain the
continuity and smoothness of lending to the economy.

The purpose of this article is to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the RA logistics system, taking into account the challenges and main development paths caused by the possible unblocking of regional transport infrastructures. A number of problems were raised by the author during the analysis. In particular, a situational description of the logistics and transport systems of Armenia was carried out, highlighting the existing problems and the main obstacles to development, as well as possible ways of development of RA transport system were outlined. In addition, the specific weights of Armenia's cargo transportation were studied according to the types of transport in general use, the length of the regional (local) motor roads of the Republic of Armenia in general use, etc. Considering that Armenia's transport costs are one of the highest in the world due to bad relations with 2 neighboring states (blockade by Turkey and Azerbaijan) and lack of sea access, the author also carried out an analysis of the possible directions of the development of the RA transport system in the context of the restoration of railway and automobile communication routes in the region.
Are Some Dialects of Punjabi at the Verge of Death? A Sociolinguistic Study of Awankari

Published: September 2023

The purpose of the study is to describe the low prestige feelings of Awankari dialect speakers. The Punjabi language has many dialects but Majhi is considered a standard dialect in Western Punjab. The other dialects like Potohari, Dhani, Shahpuri, Jatki, Ghebi have not achieved prestige and are still considered inferior by the speakers of central Punjab in Pakistan.  They study aims to investigate why some people feel low about their dialects and discourage their children to speak their native languages and local dialect. The data was collected from seventy native speakers of Awankari including government servants, businessmen, students and women who have left their native towns and moved to big cities. The study was conducted in a small village Jaba in Tehsil Naushera, Soon Sakesser Valley, District Khushab where these people have gathered on a wedding ceremony. Their mother tongue was Awankari and the data was collected through interview. The paper concludes with speculation about the possible death of Awankari. It also identified the dire need of dialect documentation of Awankari to preserve the language and culture of Soon Sakesser Valley and other areas where people speak this variety of Lahndi.
Jadwiga - Wilhelm - Jagiełło w opiniach europejskich
Authors: Grabski Andrzej
Published: September 2023

W niniejszej pracy autor stara się odpowiedzieć na pytanie, jak współcześni, ludzie XIV — XV wieku zapatrywali się na zerwanie Jadwigi Andegawenki z Wilhelmem Austriackim, chrzest Jagiełły i jego małżeństwo z królową, objęcie przezeń tronu polskiego i płynące stąd konsekwencje. Dla zdecydowanej większości autorów, reprezentujących różne środowiska wielu krajów europejskich, bynajmniej nie sprawa Wilhelma, ale właśnie sprawa Jagiełły stanowiła problem pierwszorzędnej wagi . Pretensje i żale austriackiego książątka nie posiadały dla współczesnych — poza rzecz zrozumiała środowiskami zbliżonymi do dworu wiedeńskiego — tego ciężaru gatunkowego, jaki nadano im w literaturze XIX i XX wieku. Stanowiły one wygodny argument którym z różnych motywów posługiwały się koła wrogie Jagielle, przeciwne objęciu przezeń polskiej korony i Unii. Austriacka i krzyżacka propaganda nie zyskały większego posłuchu nawet w piśmiennictwie niemieckim XV w., a co dopiero na Śląsku, czy we Włoszech, Francji bądź Anglii.
Przyczynki do historii krzyżowców z czerwoną gwiazdą
Authors: Sossalla Jan
Published: September 2023

Krzyżowcy w Czechach, na Śląsku i w Polsce nie mają nic wspólnego z krzyżownikami niderlandzko-francuskimi, jak również i z krzyżakami niemieckimi. Różnica między pierwszymi a drugimi polegała na odmiennych sposobach założenia zakonu, odrębnych statutach i innym wyszkoleniu członków, którym powierzano różne zadania. Do głównych zadań krzyżowniczo-rycerskich zakonów na zachodzie od zarania ich powstania należały oprócz krucjaty do Ziemi Świętej duszpasterstwo i misje, natomiast działalność krzyżowców na wschodzie ograniczała się początkowo tylko do pielęgnowania chorych. W niniejszym artykule ukazano w zarysie początki działania laickiej kongregacji szpitalnej na Śląsku. Z czasem ta kongregacja przekształciła się na przełomie XV/XVI w. w zakon krzyżowców z czerwoną gwiazdę, a w XVII w zakon rycerski. W artykule przestawiono także stosunki wewnętrzne zakonu i jego sytuację materialną w XVIII wieku jak również sekularyzację zakonu, która dokonała się w 1810.
Biskup Teofil Bromboszcz (1886-1937). Pierwszy sufragan diecezji katowickiej

Published: September 2023

Praca niniejsza jest pierwszą publikacją o bpie Teofilu Bromboszczu. Aktualność zarysu biograficznego o Bromboszczu polega na tym, ze działalność jego była ściśle związana z problematyką Śląska w okresach dla niego przełomowych. Takimi okresami w dziejach Śląska były bez wątpienia lata plebiscytu i powstań (1919— 1922) oraz okres międzywojenny (1929— 1939).
