Comparing labyrinth and ogee spillways at high hydraulic heads – a case study in Zambia
Authors: Martin Veronika
Published: May 2024

A new over-the-dam spillway and 3 m dam raising were selected as the preferred option for resolving matters in the interest of safety for an existing dam in Zambia. The cost of supplying concrete at the dam site had the greatest effect on overall project capital costs, and thus optimising the size of the concrete spillway was critical. Both ogee and labyrinth weir designs were developed for a hydraulic head of 5 m in the Safety Check Flood. The ogee shape design was developed to achieve high efficiency and required a weir width of 81 m. For labyrinth weirs, a limiting factor to the allowable head is the ratio between the water head and weir height above its foundation apron. Using published state-of-the-art research, 60 labyrinth weir configurations were tested, with varying angles, leg lengths and number of cycles. The optimal labyrinth configuration was chosen as the one with the minimum overall spillway width 64 m, and volume of concrete. This configuration provided a 23% potential reduction in concrete volume compared to the ogee. The labyrinth design was taken forward for computational fluid dynamic modelling to prove the concept and for further development into a detailed design.
Approaches to the Assessment of Environmental Risks of Investment Activity
Authors: Kovalevskaya Natalya , Baginova Viktoriya
Published: May 2024

The article discusses the impact of environmental risks on the results of investment activities. The initial premise of the study uses an ESG approach to the management of investment and construction activities, which takes into account the influence of environmental and social factors on the effectiveness of investments and recognized by researchers as the most relevant to the current stage of economic development. The urgency of the problem is determined by the need to include environmental and social factors in the process of making investment decisions to reduce the impact of project risks. The purpose of the study was to identify such approaches to the ecological and economic assessment of investments that allow taking into account the environmental component when determining the required amount of one-time and current costs. Also provide information to solve the problem of choosing «prevention or elimination» of the consequences of the influence of negative environmental factors. It is shown that one of the problems of environmental risk assessment is an unfavorable «risk — return ratio». This is the basis for making investment decisions in a risk environment. Getting any type of effect from a project (financial, social, general economic) is always associated with uncertainty. The possibility of setting a task in relation to environmental risks as a comparison of the costs of liquidation or prevention of damage is substantiated. The authors analyzed the general trends in the direction of investments in environmental protection measures at the regional level. An example of calculating the cost of compensation for damage from land pollution is given.
Study of Non-Carcinogenic Risk to Public Health from Oral Consumption of Substandard Groundwater in the Nizhnevolzhsky Basin
Authors: Novikov Denis , Rurua Leila , Kovaleva Marina
Published: May 2024

The analysis of non-carcinogenic health risks associated with oral intake of toxicants is a relevant approach for the identification of endemic ecologically dependent diseases. It is based on the assessment of chronic exposure to various chemicals having a unidirectional mechanism of toxic effect. Main goal of the study is the sanitary and environmental assessment of drinking water from underground water supply sources of the Nizhnevolzhsky basin of the Volgograd region based on a step-by-step procedure for public health risk assessing. Study area GIS-data analysis was performed at the stage of hazard detection step (selection of a list of priority pollutants); a laboratory analysis of the chemical composition of water was carried out; the calculation of the dose of toxicants entering the body with drinking water was performed. For the first time for the territory of the Volgograd region, we calculated non-carcinogenic risks associated with oral intake of toxicants, revealed critical system and organs, mostly susceptible for the development of non-carcinogenic phenomena. An analysis of the literary sources devoted to the problems of the formation of substandard groundwater for drinking purposes and the health risks associated with this phenomenon was carried out according to the list of priority pollutants determined in the current study. It is possible to use the results of the study to adjust measures in the organization of water treatment and procedures for improving the social and hygienic monitoring of the health of water users of the Nizhnevolzhsky underground basin.
Rozanov vs. Gogol: The Vicissitudes of Writing
Authors: Smirnov Aleksey
Published: May 2024

Rozanov's «Against Gogol» theme is well known to researchers. Gogol, from the point of view of Rosanava, neglected the effective, teacher's function of literature. The article attempts to consider Rozanov's claims to Gogol from the point of view of writing as a process for creating a work of art. Writing as an activity of necessity goes beyond the connectedness of consciousness and subject. The creative process, therefore, is only to a certain extent controlled by the will of the author. Writing is a technology of subjectivity, the process of writing changes the writer, his way of existence becomes. The same movement achieves the maximization of linguistic means, allowing the writer to convey a unique experience, the expression and social consequences of which are neither formally nor meaningfully predictable. Rozanov's struggle with Gogol is explained by the difference in their ways of existence, types of presence-in-the-world, which led to different types of writing and different aesthetic ideals.
Agenda 2030: desafios e possibilidades à educação para sustentabilidade, democrática e inclusiva
Authors: Bezerra Eliana Souza , Mendes Élgen , Sígolo Letícia Moreira , Toledo Renata Ferraz de
Published: May 2024

Eventos climáticos extremos, pandemias, crises e incertezas têm sido recorrentes nesse primeiro quartel do século XXI e têm motivado estudos que alertam para a eminência de as mudanças climáticas tornarem-se irreversíveis. Ao mesmo tempo, metas e objetivos estabelecidos na Agenda 2030, voltadas à construção de um mundo mais justo e sustentável, avançam com dificuldade e, algumas vezes, até retrocedem. Este artigo objetiva reconhecer e analisar desafios e possibilidades da educação para sustentabilidade, democrática e inclusiva, a partir da vivência em um projeto de Inserção Social intitulado "Agenda 2030 e os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS): abordagens e práticas com a comunidade escolar", implementado em uma Escola Técnica Estadual na cidade de São Paulo. Busca ainda analisar possíveis influências de mídias sociais e contribuições da universidade nesse processo.  Apoiado em revisão bibliográfica narrativa, pesquisas de memes sobre o tema na internet e na análise das atividades do referido Projeto constatou-se que a educação pode e deve ser uma importante aliada na criação deste senso crítico coletivo de urgência a respeito da realidade atual, especialmente quando propõe refletir e agir de forma inclusiva, democrática e orientada à sustentabilidade, conforme almejado pelo Projeto de Inserção Social aqui brevemente apresentado. Por sua vez, a indiferença de alguns estudantes sobre determinados temas foi coerente com a abordagem predominantemente encontrada nos memes, a qual sugere certa injustiça na responsabilização de danos ambientais. Assim, considera-se como crucial o papel da universidade na qualificação destas reflexões e ações desenvolvidas no contexto escolar, com respeito à diversidade e pluralidade.

Social Issues During the Victorian Era Lead to the Formation of Nice Girl Syndrome in Gaskell’s Ruth
Authors: Yudith Madeline , Arafah Burhanuddin , Abbas Herawaty , Jaelani Ahmat , Sunyoto Franco Gabriel , Arafah Azhariah Nur B.
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to elaborate on the relationship between social issues during the Victorian era and Nice Girl syndrome, as demonstrated in Elizabeth Gaskell's Ruth. A qualitative descriptive method was employed to achieve this objective, incorporating Alfred Adler's Individual Personality approach and Beverly Engel's Nice Girl syndrome as the grand theory. Data on female characters' behaviour and thoughts in Elizabeth Gaskell's Ruth were collected and analyzed using Adler's and Nice Girl syndrome theories, respectively. Furthermore, the dialogue and monologue of female characters were also considered. The results showed that social issues such as social class, Victorian family, Victorian ideal womanhood, and Victorian religion and morality related to Nice Girl syndrome during the Victorian era influenced and contributed to the formation of Ruth's female characters.
The Literature Course Mapping in the Undergraduate Curricula of EFL Education: A Case Study in Several Countries in Asia
Authors: Hasna Hasna , Retnaningdyah Pratiwi , Mustofa Ali
Published: May 2024

This study aims to map the literature course in the undergraduate curricula of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education in Asia, particularly in Indonesia, Thailand, and Taiwan[1], and analyze the literature course mapping in the Indonesian, Thai, and Taiwanese undergraduate curricula of EFL education. The significance of the study lies in its contribution to the structure of the undergraduate curriculum of EFL education, addressing global higher education challenges in the twenty-first century. This research employed a case study approach in Asia involving quantitative mapping of curricula documents from several universities in Indonesia, Thailand, and Taiwan, followed by qualitative analysis of curricula documents. The results indicate that, on average, the twelve target universities allocate 6% of the total obligatory completed semester credits to the literature course for a Bachelor of Teaching degree. Most of these universities position the literature course at a moderately low level with their curricula. Ideally, the literature course allocation could be increased to 15% if the linguistics and general language skills course group is also set at 15%, while the elective course group should be at 6%. Since the data were validated using time triangulation, future research should explore additional data validation techniques, such as in-depth interviews or questionnaires.

Thomas Davis’ “The Sack of Baltimore”: A Literary-Historical Perspective
Authors: Yousef Nisreen T.
Published: May 2024

This article is an attempt to read Thomas Davis’ poem “The Sack of Baltimore” (1845) from a literary-historical perspective.  It explores Davis’ representation of the sack of Baltimore village, West Cork, Ireland as a historical event depicted from a literary angle. A typical nineteenth-century historical Irish ballad, “The Sack of Baltimore” has not only remained at the margins of literary studies, but even where it has received attention, it has mainly been treated as a historical source material on an Algerian piratical raid that has come to be called “the sack of Baltimore”. This paper proposes that we need to reread the Irish poet’s narrative poem with a stronger interest both in its literary composition and historical contexts. Only in this way would it be possible to do justice and draw more sustained attention to this hitherto understudied lyrical narrative poem.
Publicar contra la corriente: Isla Negra Editores, un ejemplo de solidaridad transnacional (transL/national solidarity)
Authors:   Universidad de Warwick, Saint-Loubert Laëtitia
Published: May 2024

Este artículo se centra en la editorial independiente Isla Negra Editores, con sede en San Juan (Puerto Rico). Se empezará con una breve presentación de la línea editorial antes de profundizar en dos de sus colecciones: El canon secuestrado y Los nuevos caníbales. Esto con el objetivo de interrogar los procesos de circulación literaria en el Gran Caribe e ilustrar los intentos en reunir a los autores emergentes (o silenciados) de toda la región y más allá. Los “nuevos clásicos” objeto de estudio, compilados en antologías o presentados en formatos individuales, proporcionarán un contexto único para estudiar los procesos transnacionales (transL/nacional) pan-caribeños como un movimiento de marea que, en primer lugar, fija la circulación de la producción literaria de la región en zonas horarias específicas y conduce a la [re]formación y deformación de un canon dado; pero, por otro lado, dicha circulación se da en lugares específicos a menudo (aunque no exclusivamente) limitados por la proximidad lingüística, como lo demuestran las conexiones editoriales entre Cuba, la República Dominicana y Puerto Rico. Finalmente, el trabajo de la editorial se presentará como un modelo literario para la solidaridad transnacional (transL/national solidarity) a través del cual surgen nuevas cartografías de la circulación literaria en la región. En este contexto, la traducción se entenderá en su sentido lingüístico que implica cambios culturales e intra e intertextuales, así como negociaciones. Pero también será considerado como un proceso relacional que conecta al Gran Caribe con el tout-monde, generando nuevas formas de “transnacionalismos menores” (Françoise Lionnet, Shu-mei Shih) con la esperanza de eludir las vías tradicionales de canonización.
Traducir la oralidad en Grande Sertão: Veredas
Authors:   Universidad Federal de Santa Catarina, dos Santos Sheila Maria
Published: May 2024

La oralidad es sin duda uno de los aspectos más importantes de la novela Grande Sertão: Veredas y, en general, de la obra de João Guimarães Rosa. A pesar de la abundancia de estudios sobre este autor y su obra, la oralidad continúa siendo terreno fértil, sobre todo si se aborda desde el sesgo traductivo. Es por esto que se propone analizar, en este trabajo, la manera en la que los traductores franceses han abordado esta cuestión en sus traducciones. Con este fin, se utilizarán las teorias desarrolladas por Henri Meschonnic (1982; 1999) en lo que se refiere a las formas orales y habladas, el estudio sobre el discurso oral en Grande Sertão: Veredas llevado a cabo por Souto Ward (1984), al igual que los trabajos organizados por Michel Ballard en la recopilación Oralité et Traduction (2001).

O objetivo deste artigo é examinar mudanças na interação tradutor/leitor e a intervenção tradutória em dois contos de James Joyce, The dead e Araby, (re)traduzidos do inglês para o português por três tradutores distintos. Propõe-se uma adaptação das propostas de Rosa (2008) e Munday (2012, 2015), de análise da função interpessoal da linguagem nos textos traduzidos, por meio do estudo da apresentação da fala e dos recursos avaliativos nos textos. As abordagens teóricas usadas são a narratologia e a estilística para o estudo da estrutura comunicativa da narrativa, apresentação da fala e voz do tradutor; e o sistema da valoração para o estudo da avaliação. Os textos usados são integrantes do Corpus RETRAD e a metodologia é semiautomática, com análise e anotação das categorias de apresentação da fala e valoração, com o auxílio de programas computacionais. Resultados preliminares sugerem que a intervenção relacionada à explicitação de vozes narrativas ou de recursos valorativos evocados pode estar relacionada com o posicionamento dialógico do tradutor em conjunto com o posicionamento que constrói os leitores das traduções como leitores que valorizam ou não textos fluentes na língua da tradução. Estes resultados contribuem para os estudos da retradução.
Formación de intérpretes e investigación en interpretación en Chile: desafíos y oportunidades para el desarrollo de los estudios de interpretación
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Díaz-Galaz Stephanie
Published: May 2024

Este artículo presenta un panorama de la situación actual de la formación de intérpretes y la investigación en el campo de la interpretación en Chile y los principales desafíos y oportunidades que se presentan para el desarrollo de los estudios de interpretación en Chile. La formación de intérpretes en Chile se imparte mayoritariamente a nivel de pregrado, en planes curriculares en los que las habilidades para la interpretación se desarrollan en simultaneidad con la adquisición de la segunda lengua; y la combinación lingüística más frecuente es el inglés-español. En particular, los desafíos que enfrenta la formación de intérpretes son principalmente la adecuación a las necesidades de comunidades locales, como los pueblos originarios y los inmigrantes. Asimismo, los profesionales del país cuentan con escasas oportunidades de perfeccionamiento profesional y no hay aún oferta de programas a nivel de postgrado, lo que impide el desarrollo de una comunidad profesional más cohesionada. En el ámbito de la investigación, se están desarrollando líneas de investigación muy pertinentes en áreas como la historia de los intérpretes en el contexto colonial chileno y el estudio psicolingüístico del proceso de interpretación. Sin embargo, surge la necesidad de fortalecer la disciplina con una masa crítica de académicos que impulsen su desarrollo a través de investigaciones interdisciplinarias, arraigadas en las necesidades locales. Estos vacíos presentan una excelente oportunidad de crecimiento para los estudios de interpretación en Chile.

Los agentes de la traducción: las ficciones del traductor como relatos de mercado
Authors:   Lake Forest College, Kripper Denise
Published: May 2024

A partir del marco postulado por el giro ficcional de los Estudios de traducción, este artículo se enfoca en tres novelas con protagonistas traductores, resaltando el potencial crítico y metafórico de la traducción como tema literario. El traductor de Salvador Benesdra, El testamento de O’Jaral de Marcelo Cohen, y La ciudad ausente de Ricardo Piglia fueron escritas en Argentina durante la década de 1990 y echan luz sobre un mercado editorial en deterioro en el que los traductores cumplen un rol fundamental, pero se encuentran en una posición vulnerable donde sus trabajos peligran. La traducción aparece tematizada como una transacción económica que articula la relación entre la traducción y el mercado, y donde se practica la traducción mala o desviada como forma de subversión y resistencia. Las ficciones del traductor aquí analizadas desmantelan imaginarios de una globalización incólume y revisan el rol de la traducción como forma de mantener la ilusión de una comunicación exitosa.

El contexto político de la Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945), especialmente durante la recta final, se caracterizó por la necesidad de relaciones diplomáticas entre los países involucrados. Fue así que a partir de los juicios de Núremberg, la interpretación como actividad profesional empezó a emerger con fuerza. Desde entonces, el desarrollo de esta industria ha florecido de manera diferente alrededor del mundo. En el Perú, aún no se tiene información suficiente sobre esta actividad profesional per se. Por ello, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo explorar el proceso de inserción laboral de los intérpretes con formación universitaria en el mercado peruano. Los investigadores realizaron dieciocho entrevistas en donde se exploran los testimonios del ingreso al mundo laboral de intérpretes egresados de dos universidades: la Universidad Ricardo Palma (URP) y la Universidad Femenina del Sagrado Corazón (UNIFE). El estudio demostró que una inserción laboral exitosa en el mercado de la interpretación se consigue a través de la buena gestión de las habilidades blandas, como el uso efectivo de las redes de contactos, las habilidades técnicas y de gestión empresarial.

El presente artículo explora las experiencias de trabajo y percepciones individuales en relación con la subtitulación interlingüística de un conjunto de profesionales de Lima, Perú. El estudio se realizó a partir de métodos cualitativos: doce entrevistas semiestructuradas a cuatro grupos de participantes —empresas y profesionales de traducción, y empresas y profesionales de comunicación audiovisual—. Aunque los participantes asumen que la subtitulación no tiene un mercado establecido en la capital peruana, opinan que se trata de un nicho con una demanda en crecimiento. Asimismo, existe una diferencia respecto al modo de trabajo de las empresas y profesionales de traducción y de comunicación audiovisual, concretamente, en las etapas del proceso de subtitulación y el uso de protocolos, además de otros criterios para asegurar la calidad del servicio.

Published: May 2024

For the past 70 years, interest in dubbing has steadily increased in Iran. Studies about audiovisual translation into or from Persian are now gaining more visibility in the international context and more researchers have started looking into this interesting realm of translation. Research on Persian audiovisual translationhas mainly appeared in the form of journal articles, master’s theses and conference presentations. Surprisingly, fivebooks have been written on dubbing in Iran by Iranian dubbing practitioners rather than by academic scholars of translation. Among the books, threeaddress the dubbing tradition and its history in Iran (Mannani, 2010;Zhirafar 2014a, b, written in Persian)while the others were mainly concerned with the dubbing process and its methodological and theoreticalaspects (Tahami 2010; Choobineh, 2011, written in Persian). That being said, one should not forget the volumes written by Hamid Naficy, the Iranian film studies scholar, on the history of cinema in Iran from the very beginning (Naficy 2011a, b, 2012a, b, written in English). The monograph being reviewed here, listed among the second group, is an attempt to introduce,present and teach different dimensions of dubbing. The audience of the book, as the author claims in his introduction, seems to be voice talents and students of voice acting as well. But it can be of use for anybody interested in dubbing either as a practitioner or as a researcher working in this domain.

El objetivo general de este trabajo es contribuir al conocimiento de la historia de la traducción en la Argentina; su objetivo específico es analizar la función de la importación literaria en un contexto signado por la parcial clausura de la esfera pública como consecuencia de las políticas represivas digitadas por la dictadura, entre 1976 y 1983. Para analizar cómo, en el cruce de una doble restricción política y económica, la traducción de literatura y de ciencias sociales permitió la apertura a discursividades foráneas en el espacio discursivo controlado del período, se estudiará el caso de la colección Biblioteca Total, dirigida por Beatriz Sarlo y Carlos Altamirano para el Centro Editor de América Latina entre 1976 y 1978.

El lector poco desprevenido habrá notado que el título de este número, Latinoamérica traducida: caminos y destinos de la literatura latinoamericana entre las lenguas, contiene una serie de conceptos relativamente problemáticos, o para decirlo en términos borgeanos, una sucesión de arduos laberintos. ¿Dónde empieza y dónde termina América Latina? ¿Cuáles son las fronteras de lo “traducido” con respecto a lo “adaptado”, a lo “imitado”, a lo reinventado? ¿Dónde situar el límite de lo “literario”? Acotar tales conceptos daría sin duda lugar a debates tan laboriosos como apasionantes, pero tal no era nuestra intención, como tampoco lo era abarcar, en el exiguo espacio de un número de revista, la totalidad de ese objeto de contornos difusos que es la literatura latinoamericana.

THE SOUTH DOES ALSO EXIST: THE CONTINENTAL DRIFT DEBATE IN THE ACCOUNT OF THE SOUTH-AFRICAN PALEOBOTANIST EDNA PLUMSTEAD
Authors: WALIGORA MARIANA FERRARI
Published: May 2024

This paper analyzes a letter sent by the South African paleobotanist Edna Plumstead in 1982 to the US philosopher of science Henry Frankel, in answer to his questions about her involvement in the early debates on the concept of continental drift. Her response gave a biographical account of her life and explained in what context she first became acquainted with the themes that would become her life's work, and the scientific network of people who influenced her along the way. Beginning with her undergraduate years in the 1920s, Plumstead was aware that continental drift was being discussed in scientific circles in South Africa, earlier than in the northern hemisphere. This was followed by her more direct involvement in paleontological studies on fossils of the seed-plant Glossopteris, her important description of Glossopteris reproductive organs in direct attachment to the leaves, and how the distribution of these fossils contributed to the concept of Gondwanaland and the continental drift theory. These contributions, although extremely relevant to science, were mostly ignored in the Global North.
FLUIDS MIGRATION IMPACT ON SOIL MAGNETIC MINERALOGY
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, MENSHOV Оleksandr
Published: May 2024

Background. The war in Ukraine arises the urgent need to intensify hydrocarbon production on its own territory in order to maintain and develop the country's energy independence. The effectiveness, low cost and relevance of the involvement are demonstrated by magnetic methods of studies of the near surface geological section and the soil for the oil and gas prospecting. Methods. The methodology of magnetic studies for the hydrocarbon prospecting is based on the methods of studying the environmental magnetism and soil, precision magnetic survey of natural systems and authigenic models of changes in magnetic mineralogy under the influence of hydrocarbon fluid migration. Results. The crucial aim is to distinguish the sources of the formation of the magnetic minerals. In most cases, soils contain minerals of natural pedogenic origin, authigenic secondary magnetic minerals, and sometimes detrital fine-coarse magnetic phases. For Ukraine, magnetite, maghemite, hematite, and goethite are the most common magnetic minerals of soils of the pedogenic origin. At the same time, the experience of conducting magnetic mineralogical analyzes of soils in the territories of oil and gas deposits indicates the presence of iron sulfides. First of all, monoclinic pyrrhotite is identified. The soils also contain accompanying hexagonal pyrrhotite, pyrite, and greigite. The results of thermomagnetic analyzes and hysteresis loops of soil samples collected at the territories of hydrocarbon deposits are presented and their mineral composition is analyzed. Conclusions. The results of the study of the impact of hydrocarbon fluid migration (microseepage) on the change in the mineral composition of soils indicate significant informativeness and the perspective of introducing the method into the complex of geological exploration works at various stages. Authigenic changes of magnetic minerals in the near surface geological section and soil, as well as natural and anthropogenic accumulation of hydrocarbon products in soils, cause changes in magnetic properties and form magnetic field anomalies.
Assessment of the effectiveness of ecosystem traffic noise reduce services in urban green spaces (on the example of Kyiv)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Korohoda N.P.
Published: May 2024

Noise pollution is one of the most important factors in the deterioration of the quality of life in cities. Natural vegetation in urban green spaces (UGS) is an effective instrument for reducing road noise. The primary pollution field and the parameters of the UGS determine their different ability to reduce noise levels to comfortable or at least safe levels. One of the directions in the field of recreational research is to assess the effectiveness with which UGS provide noise reduction. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to provide such an assessment on the example of the UGS of Kyiv. In the study, the primary field of noise pollution from roads with different traffic intensities was determined. Modelling has shown that at the border of green spaces, noise values of up to 73 dB are observed in more than half of the city's UGSs. When determining the effectiveness of the noise reduction function, it was found that the majority of UGSs (75%) have a strong potential to reduce noise levels (from 0.7 to 0.8). The modelling results showed the high efficiency of green spaces in Kyiv in performing this function - 90% of the UGSs provide safe conditions for staying. Converting the efficiency values into volumes of ecosystem services (ES) based on the Harrington's desirability function allows us to understand that, given the current levels of traffic load and the parameters of UGS, the maximum volumes of noise reduction ecosystem services provided by vast majority green spaces in Kyiv (2982 objects).
Current challenges and prospects for the development of urban tourism in Ukraine in the post-war period
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Olishevska Yu.
Published: May 2024

The article is aimed at identifying the peculiarities of urban tourism functioning and the main challenges caused by the full-scale war in Ukraine. The relevance of the study is stipulated by the need to understand the main transformational changes in tourism in Ukraine during the war and in the post-war period. The purpose of the study is to analyse the prospects for the development of urban tourism and the main challenges caused by military operations in Ukraine. In order to achieve this goal, we will focus on two key tasks: analyzing the problems caused by Russia's military aggression against Ukraine and identifying the main challenges faced by urban tourism in Ukraine, both during the war and in the post-war period. Despite the difficult situation in the country, it has been established that urban tourism continues to function in relatively safe cities. In addition to rather small domestic tourism, "non-traditional" inbound tourism has begun to develop in the form of visits by delegations of representatives of governments, international organisations, NGOs, volunteers, and military journalists. The study found that the main challenges of today are due to the need to strengthen security measures, take into account the availability of bomb shelters and shelters when visiting cities, and organize excursions. In this regard, there is a growing need to find ways to transform the tourist offer, increase the use of Internet technologies in the tourism sector and develop new approaches to promoting the tourist offer of urban tourism. One of the key tasks today and in the future is to develop adaptive and inclusive tourism in Ukrainian cities.

The accurate prediction and prevention of earthquakes remains challenging. Consequently, the primary approach to mitigate the impact of earthquakes is through disaster risk reduction efforts. One significant strategy involves conducting seismic vulnerability analyses based on disaster scenarios. This study aims to identify and map areas with varying levels of seismic vulnerability, analyzing the factors contributing to vulnerability in the South Bengkulu Regency. Secondary data, including peak ground acceleration (PGA) values, were collected, along with microtremor data obtained through the Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method. The recorded microtremor data serve as input parameters for PGA, Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI), Seismic Vulnerability Index (Kg), shear wave velocity (Vs), and the time-averaged shear wave velocity for the first 30 m depths (Vs30) values. The findings reveal that, overall, seismic vulnerability in the South Bengkulu Regency can be categorized as low. However, specific areas, particularly in the southwestern and northeastern zones, exhibit relatively higher levels of vulnerability. The heightened vulnerability in these areas is attributed to elevated PGA values, despite the region's generally high soil density, which acts as a mitigating factor against earthquake threats.

The dimension stone industry faces a significant environmental challenge due to the large amount of waste produced during the production process. About 51.3% of the materials extracted from dimension stone quarries worldwide end up as quarry waste. The presence of discontinuities and fractures primarily causes this waste. However, by examining the characteristics of these discontinuities and fractures and identifying in-situ blocks of the rock mass, it is possible to reduce the amount of waste produced during dimension stone quarrying. This study focuses on an abandoned quarry bench of the Lashotor quarries complex in the Isfahan Province, Iran. Due to high waste production, the quarry bench was left unused. The study aimed to identify the in-situ blocks of the quarry bench by examining the characteristics of the rock mass’s discontinuities and fractures. The authors used a modified algorithm to identify and grade all the quarry bench blocks based on the target market. The study revealed that some blocks in the abandoned quarry bench could be supplied to the target market, and the bench has the potential for block extraction. The algorithm’s modification based on the shape factor of blocks is an important innovation that increases the accuracy of block determination compared to previous methods. Overall, this algorithm can be used as a decision-making tool in extracting or not extracting the quarry bench of dimension stone quarries and implementing an optimal cutting pattern to reduce waste production.
GEOCHEMISTRY AND PETROGRAPHY OF METAMORPHIC SOLE AMPHIBOLITES FROM THE SLATINA QUARRY, MT. ZRINSKA GORA, CROATIA
Authors: Putak Juriček Marija , Garašić Vesnica
Published: May 2024

The investigated Mt. Zrinska Gora amphibolites are a part of the metamorphic sole of the Banovina ophiolite complex. Mineral composition and other petrographic characteristics of amphibolites and adjacent peridotite were investigated by polarised microscopy and chemical analyses of rocks were obtained by a combination of inductively coupled plasma mass and emission spectrometry. The main minerals in these garnet-bearing amphibolites are amphibole and plagioclase with accessory garnet, sphene, spinel, opaque mineral ± clinopyroxene ± quartz ± actinolite ± zoisite-clinozoisite ± prehnite ± pumpelyite and ± clay minerals. Kelyphitic corona is developed around garnet. The amphibolites have nematoblastic, nematogranoblastic, porphyroblastic and porphyroclastic textures and homogenous to foliated structures. The presence of clinopyroxene in some of the investigated amphibolites points to their possible formation under P‒T conditions of upper amphibolite facies. The greenschist facies retrograde metamorphism and subsequent surface weathering of amphibolites is also evident. The chemical composition of rocks indicates that protoliths of most amphibolites were tholeiitic basalts, initially formed in island arcs and the adjoining back-arc basins. During the intraoceanic subduction in Jurassic Neotethys Ocean basalts/basaltic tuffs of island arc tholeiite affinity and back-arc basin basalts, positioned on the top of the down-going oceanic slab, were welded to the base of the hot over-riding mantle wedge, metamorphosed to amphibolite rocks and obducted together with ophiolites on the Adria continental margine. The new described amphibolite type having peridotite protolith characteristics originated as the consequence of the hydration of the bottom part of the overlying mantle wedge.

Research related to the implementation of learning models to improve the quality of learning continues to be carried out in line with changes in the applicable curriculum. The selection of the right learning model with the help of fun game media is the basis for this research, so that learning becomes more meaningful and not boring. This is a quasi-experimental study using a "nonrandomized pretest-posttest control group design."  Before the t-test, a prerequisite test was carried out in the form of a normality test (using the Liliefors test) and a homogeneity test (using the Levene test). In addition to hypothesis testing, this study also calculated the score increase (N-Gain) from the pretest and posttest data. The t count value is 2.88, while the t table value at = 0.05 with dk = 51 is 1.67. The hypothesis is supported because the t count value is greater than the t table value (2.88 > 1.67). In addition to the t count and t table values, the r2 = 0.1403 value was examined.  This coefficient value of 14.03% indicates the level of effect of employing the case method with blooket media on increasing student learning outcomes in the Radiochemistry subject.

Purpose: The rapid expansion of social media platforms has significantly transformed communication patterns and information access. This study examines the role of social media in sharing health-related content among Indian users, evaluating its trust, influence, and impact. Methodology: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 100 people using SPSS v24, G-power, and literature reviews. Statistical methods assessed reliability, trust, influencing behaviour, and impact perspectives. A model was developed using SPSS 21 AMOS software. Findings: This study examines the transformative potential of social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram for health-oriented information dissemination. It found a significant association between gender and the use of social media for medical information, with independent variables including reliability and Trust, Influence and Behaviour Impact and perspective, and positive impact. The value of ANOVA in the regression model was 0.00, indicating a better fit for the regression model. Practical Implication: The effectiveness of tools in decision-making is crucial for organisations like fitness clubs, gyms, and yoga centres to boost publicity, increase consumer base, and achieve higher revenues, while general people can find trustworthy healthcare information platforms.

The Alaska Native Collaborative Hub for Research on Resilience (ANCHRR) engages Indigenous leadership at all levels in a strength-based study to deepen our understanding of community level protective factors in Indigenous communities, which are the collective influences shaping individual wellbeing across time. Overall, ANCHRR aims to position Alaska Native Tribes, Tribal organizations, and community members as the guides for culturally responsive research that is aligned with community priorities of increasing resilience and wellbeing among Alaska Native youth and reducing their suicide risk. Our approach brings together Indigenous knowledge and research methods that humbly draw attention to the solutions that already exist within communities. An Indigenous paradigm shifts the approach from a singular focus on individuals and their risks and deficits to appreciation for the cultural, community, and systemic ways in which community members support, care for, and guide their young people into adulthood. We describe the lessons learned about this unique approach to Indigenous leadership and community engagement and discuss the research processes that keep the relational heart-work at the center of every project activity. This capacity-building, mutually beneficial and relational approach offers new insights to knowledge development endeavors.
