A climate data record of year-round global sea-ice drift from the EUMETSAT Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI SAF)
Authors: Lavergne Thomas , Down Emily
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Sea ice in the polar regions can move several tens of kilometres per day under the actions of winds, ocean currents, and internal stresses. Long-term observations of the rate and patterns of this motion are needed to characterize the full response of the polar environment to climate change. Here, we introduce a new climate data record (CDR) of year-round, global, daily sea-ice drift vectors covering 1991–2020. The motion vectors are computed from series of passive microwave imagery in the winter months and from a parametric free-drift model in the summer months. An evaluation against on-ice buoy trajectories reveals that the RMSEs of the sea-ice drift CDR are small and vary with hemisphere and seasons (2.1 km for Arctic winters, 2.6 km for Arctic summer, 3 to 4 km for the Antarctic sea ice). The CDR is un-biased for Arctic winter conditions. The bias is larger for Antarctic and for summer sea-ice motion. The CDR consists of daily product files holding the dX and dY components of the drift vectors on an Equal-Area Scalable Earth (EASE2) grid with 75 km spacing as well as associated uncertainties and flags. It is prepared in the context of the EUMETSAT Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI SAF) and is readily available at https://doi.org/10.15770/EUM_SAF_OSI_0012 (OSI SAF, 2022).
Drivers of global irrigation expansion: the role of discrete global grid choice
Authors: Wagner Sophie , Stenzel Fabian , Krüger Tobias , de Wiljes Jana
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Global statistical irrigation modeling relies on geospatial data and traditionally adopts a discrete global grid based on longitude-latitude reference. However, this system introduces area distortion, which may lead to biased results. We propose using the ISEA3H geodesic grid based on hexagonal cells, enabling efficient and distortion-free representation of spherical data. To understand the impact of discrete global grid choice, we employ a non-parametric statistical framework, utilizing random forest methods, to identify main drivers of historical global irrigation expansion amongst others, also using outputs from the global dynamic vegetation model LPJmL. Irrigation is critical for food security amidst growing population, changing consumption patterns, and climate change. It significantly boosts crop yields but also alters the natural water cycle and global water resources. Understanding past irrigation expansion and its drivers is vital for global change research, resource assessment, and predicting future trends. We compare the predictive accuracy, the simulated irrigation patterns and identification of irrigation drivers between the two grid choices. Results demonstrate that using the ISEA3H geodesic grid increases the predictive accuracy by 29 % compared to the longitude-latitude grid. The model identifies population density, potential productivity increase, evaporation, precipitation, and water discharge as key drivers of historical global irrigation expansion. GDP per capita also shows minimal influence. We conclude that the geodesic discrete global grid significantly affects predicted irrigation patterns and identification of drivers, and thus has the potential to enhance statistical modeling, which warrants further exploration in future research across related fields. This analysis lays the foundation for comprehending historical global irrigation expansion.
Brief communication: A first hydrological investigation of extreme August 2023 floods in Slovenia, Europe
Authors: Bezak Nejc , Panagos Panos , Liakos Leonidas , Mikoš Matjaž
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Extreme floods occurred from 4 to 6 August 2023 in Slovenia causing three casualties and causing total direct and indirect damage, including post-disaster needs according to the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), close to EUR 10 billion. The atypical summer weather conditions combined with the high air and sea temperatures in the Mediterranean and the high soil moisture led to the most extreme flood event in Slovenia in recent decades. The return periods of both daily and sub-daily precipitation extremes and peak discharges reached 250–500 years, and the runoff coefficient of a typical torrential and mostly forested mesoscale catchment was around 0.5. In addition, flooding, soil erosion, mass movements and river sediment transport processes caused major damage to buildings (more than 12 000 houses) and diverse infrastructure.
Free-vortex models for wind turbine wakes under yaw misalignment – a validation study on far-wake effects
Authors: van den Broek Maarten J. , De Tavernier Delphine , Hulsman Paul , van der Hoek Daan , Sanderse Benjamin , van Wingerden Jan-Willem
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Near-wake effects of wind turbine models using the free-vortex wake have been studied extensively, but there is a lack of validation for such predictions in the mid to far wake. This paper presents a novel validation study using three free-vortex wake models of increasing complexity: an actuator disc, an actuator disc with rotation, and a lifting-line model. We emphasise the application for dynamic wind farm flow control optimisation with a focus on wake redirection using yaw misalignment. For this purpose, wake models should provide sufficiently accurate power predictions at a low computational expense to enable real-time control optimisation. Three sets of wind tunnel data are used for validation: flow measurements under steady yaw misalignment, time-resolved flow measurements for a step change in yaw, and turbine output measurements with yaw control and simulated wind direction variation. Results indicate that the actuator-disc model provides the best balance between computational cost and accuracy in power predictions for the mid to far wake, which is not significantly improved upon by the addition of rotation. In the near wake, the added complexity of the lifting-line model may provide value as it models blade loading and individual tip vortices. Altogether, this study provides important validation for further studies into optimisation of wake steering under time-varying conditions and suggests that the actuator-disc model is a suitable candidate for use in a model-predictive wind farm flow control framework.
Excursion among the Countries, Documentary, and Essay: Layered Narratives and Self-Representation in A Dog Called Money
Authors: Çalışkan Özgür
Published: December 2023

The film elements, especially in the documentary or essay films, carry the director's point of view more prominently. A Dog Called Money (2019) is a film with essayistic and documentary features by photographer Seamus Murphy about the creation process of British musician PJ Harvey's latest album, The Hope Six Demolition Project. The film focuses on the artists' journey in Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Washington DC and the album's production process, which takes place in a live museum exhibition. Murphy uses visual narrative, while Harvey takes on the role of the textual and auditory narrator with voice-over, text, and music. Therefore, this study analyses the textual and audio-visual features of the documentary film that reflect the self-representation of both artists. The representation form created by the layered narrators that the film's narrative varies between the essay and the documentary genre is interpreted in the context of image, sound, and text.
Representation of Teachers in Turkish Cinema Between 1940 and 1980
Authors: Acaralp Murat Cem , Kasap Fevzi , Çelik Mustafa Ufuk
Published: December 2023

The film of the destruction of the Russian monument in 1914 is not only the history of Turkish cinema, but also of a country. The aim of this study is to reveal the representation of teachers in Turkish cinema, which is one of the professions that shape a nation, in films that reflect the effects of the periods spent in all its positive and negative aspects. The reflections of the political and social changes experienced in the historical process on the cinema, the emphasis in the representation of the teacher and the quality of the added value created in the society were analyzed in comparison with the periodical conjuncture. With the purposeful sampling management, the films in which the teacher was represented from 1940 to 1980 were compared with the conditions of the period in which they were shot, and their reflections on the society and the teacher were examined.
Joker: Film, Working Class and Post-Truth
Authors: Uysal Yildirim
Published: December 2023

The film Joker (2019) garnered huge interest from audiences worldwide and honored at the box office with an amount exceeding one billion dollars. Indeed, Joker has a class and political reflection on society. This article claims that the film Joker is a manifesto against the political forces that prioritize populist, authoritarian, and ruthless capitalist policies all over the world. The aim of our study is to analyze how the class movement is shown and examined in Joker. Joker's anti-system and anti-capitalist stance needs a sociological analysis; this analysis examines how Joker reflects people's subconscious and inspires class resistance. Another important point is to analyze the movie scenes with a descriptive analysis that will help us understand the transformation of the social movement. How the characters are assigned semiotically in the script is another requirement in terms of emphasizing what the film tells implicitly. It is important both to understand the chaos of the working class, which has not yet positioned itself in the production relations of the postmodern period after, and to see the film's recipe for why the working class should not incline towards right-wing populist politics. Understanding these two points will be the most important result and achievement of our study.
The Embodiment of the Post-human Child in Malayalam Films
Authors: Rona Reesa Kurian  , Preeti Navaneeth
Published: December 2023

The adult-child binary positions the child in a developmental process toward rationality attained through becoming an adult. The child is not considered a ‘whole human’ or given the status of an ‘individual’ in a social context, as seen in the representations of child and childhood in Malayalam films. This study aims to analyze the post-human identity of children in films focusing on how social and cultural systems are portrayed in the selected films titled Manjadikuru (2008), Keshu (2009), and Philips and the Monkey Pen (2013). The article intends to problematize the inequalities, biases, and lack of agency experienced by the post-human child and argues against awarding humanist identity to the child and childhood(s).

Wage Differentials Among Reverse Migrants: Analyzing the Social Reproduction of Inequalities During the Post-COVID Recovery
Authors: Akhter Shirin , Chauhan Vijender Singh
Published: December 2023

Income inequalities that have traditionally been high in India, witnessed a widening of the wedge as the pandemic struck. Interestingly, this wedge widened further as the recovery began, those in high income groups reverted to their original income levels while those in low income groups were left struggling at decreased wages. This paper is an attempt to examine if the post pandemic economic recovery mirrored the existing pattern of inequalities amongst various social groups. The study is based on a case study of a small town in the Raebareli district of Uttar Pradesh, and the data is collected from a primary survey of the migrants who had returned back to their home town in the aftermath of pandemic. Hypothesis tested is that the rate of recovery from pandemic-induced income loss is consistent among similarly skilled workers, regardless of their social group affiliation.The results indicate that the loss of income is not uniform across categories, and that it is more severe in case of vulnerable groups. We argue that if there is no affirmative action, the inequalities will keep reproducing themselves and become more severe after every shock that the economy faces.
Las Geografías antidemocráticas del Medio ambiente en España: la constitucionalización legislativa del espacio geográfico medioambiental
Authors: Sotelo Pérez Ignacio , Sotelo Navalpotro José Antonio , Sotelo Pérez María
Published: December 2023

En el presente estudio se lleva a cabo un análisis del conocimiento científico, en general, y, en materia ambiental, en particular, poniendo de relieve la importancia de aplicación de principios de observación, intuición, experimentación y razonamiento con objeto de lograr la meta de que el Medio Ambiente pueda disponer de un cuerpo doctrinal bien ordenado y maduro que permita estructurar y dar coherencia a los distintos conocimientos que lo integran, es decir, que el Medio Ambiente pueda ser considerado más que un contexto científico, como una verdadera Ciencia. Para tal fin, en la investigación, se parte de la presencia de la “contradicción” en el desarrollo y ejecución de los objetivos sociales, de la concepción ascendente o democrática del poder, y la asunción de ambas nociones a la disciplina jurídico-social que aporte el Derecho, poniendo así de manifiesto la quiebra de la materialización práctica de la fórmula Constitucional con la que nuestro constituyente sanciono la constitución de nuestro actual Estado Social y Democrático de Derecho, enfatizando así sus implicaciones sobre el espacio geográfico, en general, y, el Medio Ambiente, en particular.
Salud y espiritualidad en las sociedades postseculares de trascendencia inmanente
Authors: Echeverría Esparza Pablo
Published: December 2023

Las primeras tesis sobre la secularización la comprendían como un proceso análogo y paralelo a la modernización que implicaba la desaparición de la religiosidad y la trascendencia. Sin embargo, estas tesis han sido desmentidas por una perspectiva postsecular que advierte precisamente de la multiplicación de las formas y opciones religiosas y de trascendencia, así como de su reorientación hacia el plano inmanente, dada la creciente conciencia de finitud intramundana.
El presente artículo trata de exponer este escenario para, a partir de ello, comprender la emergencia e integración en el mismo de las nuevas espiritualidades como formas altamente novedosas, plurales y dinámicas de religación entre salud y espiritualidad.
Estas nuevas espiritualidades suponen una exitosa ampliación del ya inaugurado mercado de opciones de sentido inmanentes y a la carta, profundizando en esta lógica de mercantilización religiosa, sanitaria y espiritual. Su éxito parece basarse en su capacidad para ofertar al individuo (1) la prolongación de la vida terrenal prometida por la medicina, (2) el significado ofrecido por la religión pre-secular y (3) la autonomía y decisión individual a menudo denegadas por ambas.
Se trata, por tanto, no solo de una nueva y relevante opción de sentido en las sociedades postseculares de trascendencia inmanente; sino también de una muestra paradigmática de la modificación de las propias estructuras de religiosidad, crecientemente afectadas por el liberalismo económico predominante.
La institucionalización del pensamiento transhumanista. Propuestas y críticas
Authors: Quevedo Martín David
Published: December 2023

Desde sus inicios, el transhumanismo tecnocientífico ha tenido una relación ambigua con la política, pudiendo amoldarse a multitud de ideologías diferentes e inclusive contrapuestas sobre la base de unos principios y objetivos comunes. Esto no le ha impedido institucionalizarse en las últimas décadas, surgiendo organizaciones y movimientos dentro de su órbita con propuestas propias, de los cuales se analizan el biohacking y los partidos políticos identificados como transhumanistas. En este sentido se introducen las críticas principales que ha recibido centradas en las cuestiones sociopolíticas que implica su proyecto (tanto las de los objetivos generales que plantea como los de las instituciones concretas en las que se ha materializado), mostrándolo como un pensamiento con predominio de ideas circunscritas al solucionismo tecnológico y al individualismo. Para terminar se contrasta con las propuestas derivadas de la teoría ciborg bajo la presunción de que demuestran un modelo y conceptualización sociopolítica de nuestro desarrollo tecnológico alternativo al transhumanismo, por lo que se constituye como una propuesta políticamente más pertinente, para lo que se atenderá principalmente a los objetivos que promueven y las cuestiones que priorizan.
Delimitação de APP de lagos artificiais decorrentes de barramentos de usos múltiplos de água
Authors: Gomes da Silva Felipe , Ribeiro de Oliveira Fábio
Published: December 2023

As Áreas de Preservação Permanente (APP’s) de reservatórios artificiais e reservas naturais têm a função de preservar os recursos hídricos, a paisagem, a estabilidade geológica e a biodiversidade. Ademais, a manutenção dessas áreas pode evitar que usos desordenados provoquem danificação nas barragens, afetando a sua segurança. Segundo o Código Florestal (Lei Federal nº 12.651/2012), essa faixa de APP deve ser definida no licenciamento ambiental de cada barragem. Porém, as regras gerais que regem essa delimitação, instituídas pelo Código Florestal e Resolução CONAMA nº 302/2002 apresentam algumas divergências, o que pode trazer subjetividade na interpretação, gerando insegurança jurídica. Diante disso, este trabalho levantou regulamentações estaduais que estabelecessem critérios mais objetivos para delimitação das APP’s de reservatórios artificiais. Diante dos dados disponíveis, constatou-se que apenas seis estados apresentam regulamentos que tratam deste tema, sendo que a aplicação da maioria deles pode ensejar questionamentos jurídicos, haja vista que vão de encontro aos ditames das normas federais.

Analysis of the use of ready-made Expert hepatic diets for adult cats liver care company Miratorg
Authors: Karpenko L. Yu. , Bakhta A. A.
Published: December 2023

This  work  is  devoted  to  studying  the effect  of  Expert  Hepatic  ready-made  diets for  adult  cats  liver  care  company  MIRATORG  on  cats  in  the  complex  therapy  of hepatopathy. An important component in the complex treatment of cats with liver diseases is the use of complete diets. The purpose of these diets is to replenish energy and nutrients to maintain the body's needs and ensure the regeneration of hepatocytes to maintain liver  function.  This  can  be  achieved  if  the diet is easily digestible and has high palatability, high energy density and modified protein  content.  In  the  course  of  the  studies, biochemical blood parameters were studied, reflecting the condition of the liver in cats, which used ready-made Expert Hepatic diets for  adult  cats’ liver  care  from  the  MIRATORG company in the complex treatment of hepatopathy.  The  study  was  conducted  on the  basis  of  the  Multifunctional  Veterinary Center "SPbGUVM" in the period from February 2022 to October 2023. The study was carried out on cats of different breeds aged 6-9 years. The study revealed that at the beginning of the experiment, all experimental animals had increased indicators characterizing the condition of the liver. At the same time,  the  activity  of  the  cytolysis  marker enzymes AlAT and AST was higher than the upper limit of the reference values for this animal species by an average of 1.5 times. A less pronounced increase in activity was observed  in  alkaline  phosphatase,  the  main marker of cholestasis. These changes corresponded to a moderate increase in the content of total bilirubin. By the end of the experiment, a significant decrease in all studied parameters was observed. The level of bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase was at the upper limit of the reference values for this animal species. The activity of aminotransferases significantly decreased, but still remained above normal.
Morphological and biochemical blood profile of dairy cows affected by traumatic reticulitis

Published: December 2023

Feed injuries and the presence of foreign bodies in the digestive system of cows can be one of the reasons for a decrease in milk yields  and  premature  culling  of  animals. Blood tests in most cases can help determine the degree of exposure of foreign bodies to the  animal's  body.  Morphological  and  biochemical blood analysis can show the presence of inflammation, infection or other diseases associated with the persistence of foreign bodies in the digestive system of cows. Also,  a  blood  test  can  help  determine  the effectiveness of various methods of treating feed  injuries  in  animals.  The  present  study was conducted to study the effect of foreign bodies in the mesh on the morphological and biochemical  profile  of  blood  and  serum  of cattle. The object of the study were Ayrshire cows with a diagnosis of traumatic reticulitis and healthy animals. As a result of the study, we obtained reliable values of deviations in the  morphological  and  biochemical  profile for such indicators as hemoglobin and alkaline  phosphatase.  Taking  into  account  the analysis of the literature and the results obtained  by  us,  traumatic  reticulitis  in  cattle cannot be diagnosed on the basis of individual  laboratory  blood  tests,  since  even  the most  common  deviations  can  not  be  observed in all diseased cows. Many of these indicators are not specific to traumatic reticulitis and may occur in other diseases of the abdominal  cavity  and  chest.  A  preliminary diagnosis can be made only on the basis of all clinical and laboratory data.

The article is devoted to the assessment of changes in the clinical condition, hematological parameters, some biochemical blood parameters  reflecting  the  state  of  protein-carbohydrate metabolism in cows during the milking period, as well as the results of correction of this condition with a feed additive based  on humic acids "Fulvat".  The  article examines the physiological processes occurring  in  the  metabolism  of  cows  during  the newbody period  and  the period  of  separation, reflects the results of the studies conducted in assessing the dynamics and correction of the main critical indicators in hematological, biochemical blood parameters, as well  as  in  vital  changes  in  cows.  The  research  was  carried  out  using  modern  techniques, instruments and equipment. The object of the study was cows, 2-3 lactation of a black-and-white breed. All the animals were on tethered maintenance and a balanced diet. 2 groups were formed for research: experimental and control. The animals of the experimental  group  received  the  main  ration (OR)  +  the  feed  additive  "Fulvat"  for  60 days from the moment of calving; the cows of the control group were kept only on the main ration, without the use of additives in feeding. The feed additive was administered orally with the main diet, mixed with concentrated feed. The total time of observation of the indicators of homeostasis in animals was  60  days.  Studies  have  shown  that  the feed additive has a beneficial effect on erythropoiesis due to the presence of iron, cobalt, copper and other micro- and macroelements in the chemical composition, increasing the level  of  hemoglobin  in  the  experimental group on the 60th day of lactation by 19,7 %, reducing the  risk of developing  a ketogenic situation, increases the level of ionized calcium in the blood of animals, which in 2 times higher, compared with animals in the control group; normalizes the acidity of the scar  content  in  cows  of  the  experimental group and the preservation of the number of infusoria at the physiological level.
Δαμάζοντας τα όρια της πίστης σε δύστηνους καιρούς. Ο υπόκωφος χριστιανισμός της Ursa Minor του Τ. Κ. Παπατσώνη (1944)
Authors: Makrydimas V.
Published: December 2023

Takis Papatsonis’s Ursa Minor was published shortly before the end of the Axis Occupation of Greece (1944). Scholars have identified its mystic idiom and its debt to ancient Greek mythology, without delving into its constituent poems. However, the prefatory poem of this composition entitled «Θαρραλέα γυναίκα στολισμένη με πολλά γαρύφαλα» enables us to have a more accurate vision of Ursa Minor’s Christian allusions and Papatsonis’s intention to conceal his visualization of Greece’s liberation under a modernist, Christian poetic language.

Η σύνθεση Ursa Minor του Τάκη Παπατσώνη εκδόθηκε λίγο πριν το τέλος της Κατοχής, την άνοιξη του 1944. Μέχρι σήμερα η κριτική έχει εντοπίσει τη μυστικιστική γλώσσα της σύνθεσης και τη διασύνδεσή της με την αρχαιοελληνική μυθολογία. Εκκρεμεί, ωστόσο, μια εμβάθυνση στα οχτώ ποιήματα που την απαρτίζουν. Στην παρούσα εργασία, με φόντο το εισαγωγικό ποίημα «Θαρραλέα γυναίκα στολισμένη με πολλά γαρύφαλα» επιχειρώ να αναδείξω τον τρόπο με τον οποίο οι άμεσες και έμμεσες αναφορές στη χριστιανική γραμματεία εξυπηρετούν την πρόθεση του Παπατσώνη να εισάγει με αδιόρατο τρόπο στη νεωτερικών προσανατολισμών σύλληψή του το όραμα της απελευθέρωσης της Ελλάδας.
The mythopoetics of Helios in iconography: to the formulation of the problem
Authors: Наумова Е.С.
Published: December 2023

В первой части статьи представлен гомеровский Гелиос — образ, создававший, безусловно, основу представлений античных греков о Солнце. Во второй части статьи эту картину дополняют произведения V в. до н.э., когда, по утверждению французского исследователя Леона Лакруа, возрастает интерес к вазовым и скульптурным изображениям световых божеств. Наконец, третья часть статьи посвящена иконографии Гелиоса, демонстрируя связь сохранившихся произведений (в том числе, гомеровского гимна к Гелиосу) со сформировавшимися иконографическими типами изображения солнечного божества.

The first part of the article presents the Homeric Helios — an image that certainly created the basis for the ideas of the ancient Greeks. In the second part, this picture is supplemented by works of the 5th century BC, when, according to Leon Lacroix, interest in vase and sculptural images of light deities increases in parallel. The third part is mainly devoted to the iconography of Helios, demonstrating the connection between the surviving works (including the Homeric hymn to Helios) and the formed iconographic types of Helios. The solar deity, which occupies a rather modest place in the ancient Greek pantheon, has several basic iconographic characteristics, the main of which is luminosity, which is reflected in different ways on different types of iconographic monuments. Comparison of iconographic monuments with literary ones shows a certain continuity in the transmission of mythological ideas about Helios, the absence of contradictions in interpretations. Thus, the main mythopoetic ideas about the Sun, which were formed back in the Homeric era and actively expanded in the 5th century BC, with the growth of natural science knowledge and philosophical ideas about this deity, continue to exist during the centuries of development of the ancient world.
Interartistic approaches in the field of title science: the example of titles in Andreas Embeirikos’ literary texts

Το αντικείμενο της παρούσας διακαλλιτεχνικής διερεύνησης, όπως βασίζεται στη διαλογική σχέση ανάμεσα στη Λογοτεχνία, τη Ζωγραφική και τη Γλυπτική είναι η ανάδειξη των οπτικών και απτικών διαστάσεων των τίτλων των κειμένων του Ανδρέα Εμπειρίκου, με στόχο την παρουσίαση των νέων ερμηνευτικών κατευθύνσεων που μπορούν να προκύψουν στο πεδίο της τιτλολογίας. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, συμπεραίνεται πως ο τίτλος λειτουργεί ως τόπος διάνοιξης και απελευθέρωσης του Είναι, αφήνοντας τις απομακρυσμένες πραγματικότητες της υπερρεαλιστικής εικόνας να αναδύονται καθεμιά στον δικό της χώρο και ταυτόχρονα να συνυφαίνονται η μία με την άλλη.

The object of this interart study is the dialogical interrelation of Literature, Painting and Sculpture through the demonstration of the visual and tactile dimension of Andreas Embeirikos’ titles, in order to point out how the inter-artistic methodological tools can carry out new interpretation aspects in the field of titrology (titrologie). Consequently title is concluded to be a topos which means that it makes-room prepares for the different realities of the surrealist image the possibility to belong to their relevant wither and to each other.
«True master’s style». Xenofont Lefcoparidis (1898–1971) — Greek writer, publisher and criticist
Authors: Лубоцкая А.С.
Published: December 2023

Ксенофонт Левкопаридис — уникальная личность, яркий представитель общественно-политической жизни Греции первой половины XX века. Он был писателем, литератором, издателем, просветителем, общественным деятелем, миротворцем. Он свято верил в идею духовного объединения балканских народов, способного прекратить вражду и кровавые розни на Балканах. Этой вере и борьбе за нее он посвятил основные годы своей жизни, свой организаторский и литературный таланты. И вот его имя забыто для потомков. Во время Второй мировой войны материалы, связанные с деятельностью Ксенофонта Левкопаридиса, были полностью реквизированы немецким командованием. Впоследствии в качестве трофейных вывезены в Москву и засекречены. Их открытие в 1990-х годах позволило пусть и крупными мазками, но набросать портрет Ксенофонта Левкопаридиса, вписать в историю имя этого неординарного человека.

Xenofont Lefcoparidis is a unique person, who brilliantly represented a socio-political life of Greece during the first half of the 20th century. He acted as a writer, publisher, public figure, and peacemaker, his whole life and works being devoted to the idea of Balkan union, which could stop hostilities and blood strife in the Balkan region. For the time being his name remains almost forgotten, for during the WWII all the papers connected with his activity were requisitioned by Nazis. Afterwards, the archive ended up in Moscow as war trophy, and therefore was classified. The discovery of these papers in 1990s allowed to introduce Xenofont Lefcoparidis to the modern audience and tell his story to descendants.
The Three Sisters: two directing approaches to Chekhov’s play by the National Theatre of Northern Greece (1979, 2019)
Authors: Δαμασκηνός Μ.
Published: December 2023

Το παρόν μελέτημα αναφέρεται σε δυο διαφορετικές σκηνοθετικές προσεγγίσεις του τσεχοφικού έργου Τρεις Αδελφές, η πρώτη από τον Έλληνα σκηνοθέτη Γιώργο Σεβαστίκογλου (1979) και η δεύτερη από τον Λιθουανό σκηνοθέτη Τσέζαρι Γκραουζίνι (2019), έργο το οποίο παρουσιάστηκε με διαφορά σαράντα ετών στο θέατρο της Εταιρείας Μακεδονικών Σπουδών του Κρατικού Θεάτρου Βορείου Ελλάδος. Τα δύο αυτά παραστασιακά γεγονότα προσεγγίζονται και αποκωδικοποιούνται με βασικούς άξονες τα εργαλεία ανάλυσης παράστασης όπως αυτά αναφέρονται από τους θεωρητικούς του θεάτρου και του δράματος κι έχουν στόχο να διερευνήσουν τα διαφορετικά θεατρικά σημεία τα οποία μπορούν να παρατηρηθούν σε μια παράσταση. Συγκεκριμένα θα αναλυθούν οι θεατρικοί κώδικες της σκηνοθεσίας, της σκηνογραφίας, της ενδυματολογίας, της μουσικής, του φωτισμού, των ερμηνειών και θα ιδωθούν συγκριτικά και αναλυτικά με τον σκηνοθετικό στόχο του κάθε δημιουργού αναδεικνύοντας την πρόσληψη του συνολικού θεατρικού δημιουργήματος από τη θεατρική κριτική.

The present study examines two different directing approaches to the Chekhovian play Three Sisters, the first presented by the Greek director George Sevastikoglou (1979) and the second by the Lithuanian director Cesari Grauzini (2019). The play was presented forty years apart at the Theatre of the Society for Macedonian Studies by National Theatre of Northern Greece. These two performances are approached and decoded based on the theoretical tools of performance analysis as referred to by theatre and drama theorists and the main issue is to analyze the different theatrical semiotic codes that can be observed in a performance. Specifically, the theatrical codes of staging, set design, costume design, music, lighting, and acting will be analyzed and will be seen in comparison with the staging effort of each creator, showcasing the perception of the overall theatrical creation by theatre critics.
Сultural features of the zoonym “donkey” in the modern Greek language
Authors: Боброва О.Б.
Published: December 2023

В статье рассматривается специфика употребления различных лексем, обозначающих осла (древнегреческое όνος и новогреческие γάιδαρος / γάδαρος / γαϊδούρι / γαϊδούρα), функционирующих как самостоятельно в виде языковой (стереотипной, стертой) метафоры, так и в составе устойчивых сравнений и фразеологических единиц. В ходе анализа выявляются стереотипные черты, приписываемые носителями новогреческого языка ослу, в результате чего определяются и уточняются границы концепта «осел» как части зооморфного кода новогреческой языковой культуры.

The article discusses the semantic and cultural specifics of the lexemes denoting a donkey (Ancient Greek όνος and Modern Greek γάιδαρος / γάδαρος / γαϊδούρι / γαϊδούρα), functioning both independently as a dead (stereotypical, erased) metaphor, and as part of comparisons and phraseological units. The analysis reveals the stereotypical features attributed by the speakers of the Modern Greek language to the donkey. As a result the boundaries of the concept “donkey” as part of the zoomorphic code of the Modern Greek language culture are determined and clarified.

Nursing officers get idiosyncratic moment to mold and grow healthy cognition and positive self-confidence among adolescents. An evaluative study was conducted among 50 adolescents of selected school of Hubballi. Probability; simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample and data was collected by structured knowledge questionnaire. The research design used for the study was pre-experimental: one group pre-test post-test design. Data analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Overall result of the study revealed that the level of knowledge on gaming disorder in pre-test revealed that 26(52%) had average knowledge, 16 (32%) had good knowledge and 8 (16%) had poor knowledge. Whereas, in post-test after Awareness Programme, 23 (46%) had good knowledge and 27 (54%) had average knowledge. The calculated paired ‘t’ value (tcal= 20.91) was greater than the tabulatedvalue (ttab= 2.0096). Hence, H1 was accepted. This indicates that the gain in knowledge scores was statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance. There was no statistical association between knowledge scores and their selected socio-demographic variables at 0.05 level of significance. The study concluded that the Awareness Programme was effective in improving knowledge regarding gaming disorder.

Whole-field density measurements by digital image correlation

A novel application of Synthetic Schlieren in a laboratory set-up yields a quantitative measurement of the density field of two-dimensional, stratified or homogeneous, transparent fluids in a laboratory set-up using a single camera. This application obtains local values of the density without the need for tomographic reconstruction algorithms that require images taken from different directions through the fluid nor does the application require regularization. This is achieved by placing the camera at a large oblique angle with respect to the experimental set-up. This step is motivated by a fallacy observed when applying ray tracing in a classical configuration, in which the camera's optical axis is perpendicular to the flat surface of a fluid container. The application is illustrated by the optical determination of static density fields of linearly and nonlinearly stratified fluids, as well as of multi-layered fluids. The application is validated by comparing with density profiles obtained from probe measurements of conductivity and temperature. Our application yields similar density and density gradient profiles as the probe while also providing a whole field measurement without disturbing the fluid, and allowing the determination of dynamical density fields.

Identifying dominant flow features from very-sparse Lagrangian data: a multiscale recurrence network-based approach

Realistic fluid flow problems often require that Lagrangian tracers are deployed in a sparse or very-sparse manner, such as for oceanic and atmospheric flows where large-scale motion needs characterisation. Data sparsity represents a significant issue in Lagrangian analysis, especially for data-driven methods that rely heavily on large datasets. We propose a multiscale spatial recurrence network (MSRN) methodology for characterising very-sparse Lagrangian data, which exploits individual tracks and a spatial recurrence criterion to identify the spatio-temporal complexity of tracer trajectories. The MSRN is an unsupervised modelling framework that does not require a priori parameter setting, and—through the quantification of persistent link activation at specific trajectory intervals—can reveal the presence of dominant looping scales in a variety of salient fluid flows. This new paradigm is shown to be successful for the study of Lagrangian tracers seeded in complex (realistic) flows, including unsteady and advection-dominated problems. This makes MSRNs an effective and versatile tool to characterise sensor trajectories in key problems such as environmental processes critical to understanding and mitigating climate change.

Published: December 2023

The paper presents the results of assessing the resistance of 14 maize hybrids to a negative temperature shock (NTS) of -4°C for 16 hours. The germination and growth seedlings parameters of maize hybrids were studied. Germination of maize seeds at optimal temperature of 26°C for 5 days was used as a control, and pretreatment of maize seeds with NTS followed by germination and subsequent growth at 26°C for 5 days was considered experimental. Pretreatment of maize seeds with NTS made it possible to identify and evaluate the primary resistance of each hybrid to stress, and according to the degree of constitutive frost resistance of each hybrid, the distribution and classification of the studied hybrids into 3 zones was carried out, including hybrids with high, medium and low frost resistance. Also, the effect of NTS on the morpho-physiological traits of the maize seedlings are shown.

Published: December 2023

Few studies have examined associations between child maltreatment and criminal justice system involvement using large nationally representative samples and comprehensive measures of self‑reported maltreatment. This study analyses nationally representative data from the Australian Child Maltreatment Study, which surveyed 8,500 Australians to obtain self-reported data on all five child maltreatment types (physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, and exposure to domestic violence) and criminal justice system involvement. We examine associations between self-reported child maltreatment, and chronic multi-type maltreatment, and arrests, convictions and imprisonment. Results show moderate associations between child maltreatment and arrests and convictions, and between maltreatment and imprisonment among men. Stronger associations were found for those experiencing three or more types of maltreatment.
