TWO METHODS FOR ESTIMATING THE TREND OF IONOSPHERIC ELECTRON CONCENTRATION BASED ON DATA FROM IRKUTSK VERTICAL IONOSONDES
Authors: Ратовский К.Г. , Жеребцов Г.А. , Медведева И.В.
Published: December 2024

Представлены два метода оценки долговременного тренда максимума электронной концентрации NmF2 по данным иркутских ионозондов. Первый метод оценки тренда NmF2 заключался в регрессионном анализе, изначально включающем в себя вклады солнечной и геомагнитной активности, а также наличие долговременного тренда. Второй метод оценки тренда сделан на основе анализа изменения коэффициентов простой регрессии NmF2 на F10.7 от цикла к циклу. Для дневных условий метод оценки тренда, основанный на множественной регрессии и метод оценки тренда, основанный на анализе изменения коэффициентов регрессии от цикла к циклу, дали близкий результат: тренд дает уменьшение NmF2 на ~ 0.5·100 000 электронов в кубическом сантиметре за 100 лет.

Two methods for estimating the long-term trend of the maximum electron concentration NmF2 based on data from Irkutsk ionosondes are presented. The first method of estimating the NmF2 trend involved regression analysis, initially including contributions from solar and geomagnetic activity, as well as the presence of a long-term trend. The second method of trend estimation is based on analyzing the change of simple regression coefficients of NmF2 to F10.7 from cycle to cycle. Under daytime conditions, the trend estimation method based on multiple regression and the trend estimation method based on the analysis of the change of regression coefficients from cycle to cycle yielded similar results: the trend indicates a decrease in NmF2 by approximately 0.5·100,000 electrons per cubic centimeter over a 100-year period.

Authors: Costea Alexandru I , Khanna Rahul , Iglesias Maximiliano , Rong Yiran
Published: December 2024

Aim:
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation (CA) is a mainstay treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). RF catheters with contact force (CF) sensing technology and electroanatomical mapping systems enable real-time assessment of catheter tip-tissue interface CF, facilitating individualized and precise CA. This study examined inpatient hospital readmissions in patients with AF treated with THERMOCOOL™ ST/ THERMOCOOL™ STSF catheter with the CARTO™ 3 System versus TactiCath™ catheter with the EnSite™ System.
Materials
&
methods:
Patients undergoing CA for AF between 1 July 2019 to 30 November 2021 were identified from the Premier Healthcare Database and grouped based on use of THERMOCOOL ST/STSF or TactiCath™. Study outcomes were all-cause, cardiovascular (CV)-, and AF-related inpatient readmission at 91–365-day post-CA. Inverse probability of treatment weighting of propensity scores balanced baseline patient, comorbidity and hospital characteristics. A weighted generalized estimating equation (GEE) model examined differences in readmission outcomes.
Results:
A total of 15,518 patients met inclusion criteria (THERMOCOOL ST/STSF, n = 13,001; TactiCath™, n = 2517). Patient characteristics were generally well-balanced after weighting. Patients treated with THERMOCOOL ST/STSF + CARTO 3 had a 20% lower likelihood of all-cause inpatient readmissions (7.8 vs 9.3%, chi-square p = 0.041; odds ratio [OR]: 0.80, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.66–0.96, GEE p = 0.019) and a 21% lower likelihood of CV-related inpatient readmission (5.2 vs 6.2%, chi-square p = 0.133, OR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.62–0.99, GEE p = 0.043) in 91–365-days post-CA versus those treated with TactiCath™ + Ensite. No significant differences were observed for AF-related readmissions.
Conclusion:
Patients undergoing CA for AF treated with THERMOCOOL ST/STSF + CARTO 3 had a significantly lower risk of all-cause and CV-related inpatient hospital readmission versus those treated with TactiCath™ + Ensite.

Neste artigo, buscamos compreender como certos movimentos sociais contemporâneos se apropriam da internet para combater preconceitos, uma vez que a web 2.0 possibilita o desenvolvimento do ativismo digital, especialmente sob a forma de práticas discursivas emergentes. Na virada do século XX para o século XXI, entramos em uma nova era, a da Web 2.0, cujos avanços tecnológicos desencadearam mudanças nas maneiras de interagir socialmente e de agir sobre o(s) outro(s). Tais mudanças podem ser observadas em diferentes esferas de prática social, a exemplo do ativismo político na era digital e, mais especificamente, do movimento antirracista. Assim, com vistas a analisar de modo mais efetivo essas novas práticas de linguagem, os estudos do discurso têm adaptado os seus dispositivos teórico-metodológicos, propondo novas abordagens e novas categorias de análise, como demonstram os trabalhos de Paveau (2021) e de Maingueneau (2015), entre outros. Com base em noções propostas por esses estudiosos do discurso, bem como em contribuições dos estudos sobre ativismo digital relacionados ao (anti)racismo, visamos analisar algumas estratégias discursivas utilizadas em postagens da página do movimento Alma Preta, com destaque para a sua dimensão multimodal (verbovisual) como uma das características dessa forma de tecnodiscurso. Mais especificamente, analisamos algumas postagens que fazem alusão ao caso do assassinado de George Floyd nos EUA.

Authors: Bailey C. Scott , Leite Thalita , Troedsson Mats
Published: December 2024

Focal mucoid (nocardioform) placentitis occurs sporadically worldwide and occasionally has been associated with local epidemics of disease in central Kentucky. Objective was to quantify the effects of focal mucoid placentitis on a farm during spring 2020 outbreak. Outcomes were prospectively identified early in the spring and data were collected in a single cohort of mares during 2020-2021 and on their foals during 2020-2022. Focal mucoid placentitis was diagnosed in 36 of 162 mares; 6 foals died at birth and 30 foals (83%) were viable compared to 119 of 126 viable foals (94%) from normal mares. Foals born to mares with placentitis weighed 10 lb less compared to those from healthy mares, received colostrum that was slightly lower in quality and had ~ 30% lower blood IgG concentrations. However, postnatal foal survival, incidence of infectious or orthopedic foal diseases, sale values, and racing performances were not different between these 2 groups. Focal mucoid placentitis did not recur in subsequent years and the reproductive performance of mares with this form of placentitis was not affected in the subsequent breeding season. Study suggested that although the disease may be underdiagnosed via farm-submitted samples, surviving foals and affected mares were able to overcome the effects of this condition and their performance was comparable to their peers in the absence of additional treatment.

Published: December 2024

This chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects of digital literacy skills on preschool science education. Digital literacy encompasses critical elements such as information access, analytical thinking, and secure digital content creation, fostering children’s abilities in critical thinking, problem-solving, and information retrieval from an early age. Particularly within preschool science education, digital literacy not only facilitates children’s understanding of scientific processes but also encourages active engagement in the learning process. This study examines how digital literacy skills can be integrated into preschool science education through developmentally appropriate activities and content. The role of digital literacy in preschool science education is explored through a review of research conducted in Turkey and internationally, educational theories, and practical applications designed to help young children understand science concepts through digital tools. By connecting these findings to theoretical foundations such as Vygotsky’s Social Constructivism and Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory, the chapter discusses how digital literacy contributes to children’s cognitive and scientific development. Furthermore, practical recommendations and examples of digital literacy activities enriched with digital tools are presented for educators, aiming to support them in integrating digital literacy and science education in children’s developmental processes. These recommendations offer a guiding framework for educators and parents to incorporate digital literacy and science education effectively. In this context, the study emphasizes the positive impacts of digital literacy on early science education and its significance in fostering children’s scientific curiosity.
Hizmetkar Liderlik

İnsanlığın var olduğu andan itibaren süreçleri ve insanları yönetmek her zaman bir gereksinim olmuştur. Bu gereksinimin nedeni olayları, durumları ve geleceği bir düzene oturtmak ve sağlıklı kararlar alınabilmesini sağlamaktır. Bazen bilinçli bazen de bilinç dışı bir şekilde yapılan liderlik, birçok kapıyı aralarken bu sürecin bilim alanında araştırma konusu olması ise yakın zamana denk gelmektedir. Klasik liderlik yaklaşımlarının artık cevap bulmadığı bazı liderlik davranışları bilim insanlarını farklı arayışlara itme gereksinimini doğurmuştur. Bu bağlamda “Modern Liderlik Teorileri” çatısı altında birçok liderlik yaklaşımını görmek olanak dahilindedir. Özellikle hızla değişen ve gelişen dünyada liderlik algılarında da değişim ve gelişim göze çarpmaktadır. İnsan odaklı dönüşümün yaşandığı yirminci yüzyılda “Dönüştürücü Liderlik”, “Demokratik Liderlik”, “Vizyoner Liderlik”, “Otantik Liderlik” gibi yeni liderlik yaklaşımları modern dönemde bilimsel olarak karşımıza çıkarken literatürde kendisine yer bulan liderlik anlayışlarından biri de “Hizmetkar Liderlik” olmuştur. 
İlk kez 1970 yılında Greenleaf tarafından “Servant as Leader” başlıklı makalesinde konu edilen Hizmetkar Liderlik, özellikle 90’lı yılların başında yoğun bir araştırma konusu olduğu görülmektedir.  Söz konusu makale, özellikle lider özelliklerine yoğunlaşmıştır. Ancak yine Greenleaf (1972) “The Institution as Servant” isimli bir makale yayınlamış ve bu sefer sadece lider pozisyonundaki bireylerin değil aynı zamanda örgütlerin de hizmetkar liderlik yapma süreçlerine değinmiştir. Bu bağlamda Hizmetkar Liderlik, tek taraflı değil çok taraflı bir sürecin parçaları haline gelmiştir. Hizmetkar lider, salt bir şekilde hizmet etmeyi değil takipçileri için ortak ‘iyi’yi sağlamak ve çalışanların gelişimine katkı sunmak olarak tanımlanabilecektir (Page ve Wong, 2000). Bu durumda lider, gerektiğinde özverili olmalı, takipçilerin gereksinimini karşılamalı ve kendisi gibi lider yetiştirebilmelidir (Matteson ve Irving, 2006).

Shpet, Humboldt, Kant: Forms, Concepts, Schemes. Terms and Ideas
Authors: Molchanov Victor I.
Published: December 2024

The article examines the interpretation of the teaching of Wilhelm von Humboldt on language by Gustav Shpet together with Shpet’s perception of the influence of Kant’s philosophy on Humboldt. Special emphasis is laid on terminological analysis, the underlying thesis of this analysis being that words, terms and concepts are not the same thing: one and the same word or word combination can denote different terms, and the concept is a term in each particular doctrine. The object of critical analysis is the function of Humboldt’s term “inner form of language” and the way this term was transformed, according to Shpet, into “the concept of inner form” over time by various thinkers — Plato, Plotinus, Goethe, Humboldt and others. The difference is analysed between the terms which Humboldt, Shpet and Kant denoted by the same word “concept”. Shpet’s position on the issue of Kant’s influence on Humboldt is analysed, notably in terms of the “schematism of the pure concepts of understanding”. Steinthal’s opinion on this issue allows us to raise the hermeneutic question of what kind of Kant a particular researcher is dealing with at a particular time — from the beginning of the nineteenth century until our days. The author notes the peremptory character of some of Shpet’s claims as well as his description of Kant’s influence on Humboldt as suggestion. The author also considers Shpet’s critique of subjectivism, which robs subjectivism of creativity and confines it to the capacity to convey what has been understood and to err. Finally, Shpet’s methodology (the question of identity and difference) and the role of terminology in his own works is considered. The positing of identity as the starting point of method accords with Shpet’s conviction that terms have meaning and explanatory power. Contrary to Shpet, it is difference that is the initial experience and the key term in phenomenological and post-phenomenological philosophy.
Kantian and Anti-Kantian Philosophy of Language
Authors: Mikhailov Igor A.
Published: December 2024

This paper examines two models of language philosophy. The first is the Kantian philosophy which sees language as an instrument of conveying mental content. I have selected Immanuel Kant and Edmund Husserl from amongst its numerous representatives. In this tradition, a language expression, i.e. an expression that has meaning, is determined by the objectively ideal character of the meanings (“rules”) given through the subject’s intellectual acts. The main task is to fix with a maximum degree of accuracy what is “seen” in consciousness. This model inevitably considers words to be “markers” or “labels” which have no intrinsic power. The problem with this approach is, first, that it is impossible to determine the criteria by which this or that word should be considered adequate. Second, this approach leads to the creation of ever new philosophical languages which simultaneously challenge the tradition and yet claim to be a renewed version of it. It is shown that the fairly systematic critique of the Kant­ian approach by Johann Georg Hamann and Johann Gottfried Herder falls short of proposing an alternative philosophical system because, having a religious foundation, it does not offer a complete grounding of knowledge. In the wide range of anti-Kantian positions on the nature of language Gustav Shpet’s concept of language is singled out. It pursues the same task of creating a universal system of knowledge as Husserl’s phenomenology, but it proceeds from fundamentally different notions of philosophical knowledge. Unlike Husserl, whose thought is marked by revolutionary radicalism, for Shpet ideal knowledge is “positive”, “concrete”, “full” and “dynamic”. He considers philosophising to be dialectical and inherently dialogic. The result of philosophy meeting these ideals is the concept that our knowledge is centred on language and our experience has a sign-verbal character.
