SITUATION IN THE RUSSIAN GAS INDUSTRY IN 2022–2023
Authors: Grivach A. I. 
Published: April 2024

The article examines the state of the Russian gas industry in the period from the beginning of sanctions (2022) to the end of 2023. The author assesses the period of adaptation to the new market conditions. It is the author’s opinion that the risks in the gas sector last year turned out to be more extensive than in the oil sector. The reduction in gas production is primarily due to the reduction in natural gas purchases by European consumers. Exports to non-CIS countries have decreased over the past two years. Over the past two years, there has been a decline in gas production levels, with the most noticeable drawdowns being seen at Gazprom. This is not only due to the decrease in exports, but also due to the increase in production by other companies (NOVATEK and Rosneft).Russia currently supplies gas via pipelines to Europe, Turkey and the People’s Republic of China. In the European direction, supplies are made through the Ukrainian GTS and the Turkish Stream pipeline. Gas supplies to China have the greatest potential; during the period under review, they increased one and a half times. There is a planned increase in supplies through the Power of Siberia gas pipeline.The author also describes the complicated dynamics in the domestic gas market. The program of social gasification, which continues to develop, is mentioned separately.According to the author, the government will have to develop measures to support the industry in order to fulfill its social obligations and develop new projects that will ensure diversification of sales markets and substitution of partners from unfriendly jurisdictions in the coming years.
LAND SNAILS AND SLUGS (MOLLUSCA: GASTROPODA) IN THE INTERNATIONAL LOADING AND UNLOADING AREAS OF PANAMA
Authors: Quirós Dora Isabel , Emmen Daniel , Jhasser Ramy 
Published: April 2024

This study aims to identify the species of land snails and slugs that may invade Panama through the loading and unloading sites of national and international merchandise in Panama City and Colon, along with their probable places of origin. The investigation also considers the ecological, economic, and health impacts of these potential invasive species. Between September 2008 and September 2009, sampling was conducted at the main seaports and airports of Panama City and Colon, including their containers, warehouses, and surrounding natural habitats. The study utilized GPS for accurate location marking, and sampling occurred twice a week. Specimens were collected, with live material fixed in 70% alcohol, and slugs dissected for identification through sexual organs. Taxonomic identification involved conchological characteristics and expert consultation, with the data analyzed for species abundance correlation with precipitation and humidity. A total of 2379 individuals were collected, identifying seven species across nine genera and four taxonomic families, with the Subulinidae family being the most abundant. Notably, Praticolella griseola, an agricultural pest, and Hapiella w. f. decolorata were new records for Panama. The study found species richness and abundance correlated with rainfall but not relative humidity. The research highlighted the quarantine importance of several species due to their roles as pests and vectors of diseases like Angiostrongylus cantonensis and A. costarricensis. Panama hosts a moderate ecological diversity of gastropods, with certain species posing significant risks to agriculture, public health, and native ecosystems. The study underscores the necessity for ongoing surveillance and management of non-native mollusk introductions, particularly in a global trade hub like Panama. Identifying and understanding the distribution of invasive gastropods are crucial for developing effective control measures and mitigating their impact on the environment and human health.

Authors: Lim Min Hui , Ching Bih Hwa 
Published: April 2024

Introduction: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Simon says program (SSP), a strategy-based group intervention program working on executive function (EF) for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: A prospective observational cohort study was conducted from December 2021 to July 2022 recruiting 21 SSP participants, either they were on stimulant or not on stimulants, and 12 other ADHD patients who are on stimulant medication only without prior participation in SSP, using convenience sampling method, from Child Development Clinic Hospital Sultan Ismail. NICHQ Vanderbilt Assessment Follow Up Scales (VAS) were used to measure its effectiveness and the significance of score differences before and after SSP were assessed using paired sample t-test of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 28.0 software. Results: Total of 33 children participated in the study. From our study, only those participants on behavioural therapy alone showed statistically significant reduction in inattentive score, hyperactivity score and total symptoms score at the third month and sixth month after joining SSP from parents-rated VAS. There were no statistically significant differences in the average VAS performance score for both groups. Conclusion: SSP could be an effective behavioral intervention for children with ADHD children. Limitations included lacking clear generalizability due to the convenience sampling method and potential inter-rater variability.
cfr (v2024.1.26): a Python package for climate field reconstruction
Authors: Zhu Feng , Emile-Geay Julien , Hakim Gregory J. , Guillot Dominique , Khider Deborah , Tardif Robert , Perkins Walter A. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract. Climate field reconstruction (CFR) refers to the estimation of spatiotemporal climate fields (such as surface temperature) from a collection of pointwise paleoclimate proxy datasets. Such reconstructions can provide rich information on climate dynamics and provide an out-of-sample validation of climate models. However, most CFR workflows are complex and time-consuming, as they involve (i) preprocessing of the proxy records, climate model simulations, and instrumental observations; (ii) application of one or more statistical methods; and (iii) analysis and visualization of the reconstruction results. Historically, this process has lacked transparency and accessibility, limiting reproducibility and experimentation by non-specialists. This article presents an open-source and object-oriented Python package called cfr that aims to make CFR workflows easy to understand and conduct, saving climatologists from technical details and facilitating efficient and reproducible research. cfr provides user-friendly utilities for common CFR tasks such as proxy and climate data analysis and visualization, proxy system modeling, and modularized workflows for multiple reconstruction methods, enabling methodological intercomparisons within the same framework. The package is supported with extensive documentation of the application programming interface (API) and a growing number of tutorial notebooks illustrating its usage. As an example, we present two cfr-driven reconstruction experiments using the PAGES 2k temperature database applying the last millennium reanalysis (LMR) paleoclimate data assimilation (PDA) framework and the graphical expectation–maximization (GraphEM) algorithm, respectively.

Mourning Women, the Voice of God, and the Limits of Lament: Women’s Songs of Lament in Jeremiah
Authors: Beal Lissa M. Wray 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The book of Jeremiah contains metaphors depicting Israel and Zion as a woman. These include the city as a mourning woman (4:19–21; 10:20). Real mourning women are addressed in Jer 9:17–22, following laments variously attributed to Jeremiah and/or Yahweh (8:18–9:2, 10). Working with the (MT) canonical form and engaging the insights of trauma studies, this article traces linguistic and thematic connections between the two passages before tracing similar connections to Rachel’s lament (Jer 31). The mourning women in Jer 9 serve a societal role by giving voice to lament; this effective power is affirmed by trauma studies. When read alongside the lament by Jeremiah and/or Yahweh, this article notes the women also take up a prophetic role as with Jeremiah they embody and express Yahweh’s own pathos. In ch. 31, the mourning women are metaphorically instantiated in the eponymous mother who also voices Yahweh’s pathos yet remains uncomforted. This study points to the hope that arises from Yahweh’s identification with his people in the pathos expressed by prophet, mourning women, and Rachel. Ultimately, Yahweh’s identification with his people, and his words of hope offer comfort to unrequited lament.
El dramaturgo es quien construye el personaje: el duque de Gloucester de Shakespeare y el de Ferrara de Lope
Authors: Benabu Isaac 
Published: April 2024

Resumen:
Hace unos años el distinguido y añorado crítico de la comedia, Francisco Ruiz Ramón, se planteaba una hipótesis de trabajo acerca de la lectura de los textos de teatro de obras clásicas, cuya pregunta serviría para descifrar tanto para el actor como para el crítico académico las dificultades de estos textos, compuestos hace varios siglos: “¿No estarán las soluciones a los problemas del texto clásico en el texto mismo?” (144). La pregunta de Ruiz Ramón coincide con las cuestiones que el presente artículo se propone plantear: la problemática de la lectura de las obras de Shakespeare como de las comedias del Siglo de Oro español, como textos destinados en primer lugar a la representación. Esta aproximación al texto, enfocada específicamente desde un punto de vista teatral, abarca diferentes parámetros, y se diferencia de las muchas lecturas que se han hecho basadas en criterios adoptados de la crítica literaria.
Dog Eat Dog: Staging Female Rivalry in David Johnston’s Translation of Lope’s The Dog in the Manger
Authors: Voros Sharon D. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract:
Staging female rivalry for today’s audiences presents a multiplicity of problems in producing Golden Age Spanish plays. In Lope de Vega’s El perro del hortelano, the lady Diana, Countess of Belflor, eventually wins out against her rival, her own lady-in-waiting, Marcela. A further complication arises since the love interest is the Countess’s low-born secretary, Teodoro. Stage action from Marcela’s perspective informs the main plot, the love game between Diana and Teodoro. Marcela questions: “When can honor and love ever meet” (112), a line recalling Donald Larson’s notion of feminine vergüenza that involves the Countess’s social status. I discuss David Johnston’s translation as an effort to unravel comedic enredos with contemporary language, along with the performance at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, DC, in 2009. The bonds of matrimony serve to bring order out of delightful theatrical chaos that in the hands of this translator becomes witty comedic action.
No Laughing Matter: Translating the Ludic Imagination in Lope de Vega
Authors: Johnston David 
Published: April 2024

Abstract:
Lope’s theater is famously playful, featuring a whole series of ludic devices that, dramatically at least, tend to privilege subjectivity and imagination over hard-headed adherence to social norms and the body of customs. This article, remembering Don Larson’s playful nature and his own deep-rooted interest in processes of extension and transformation, examines the translational implications of Lope’s ludic imagination.

Authors: Arshad Habib Malik  , Feroza Arshad  , Aftab Ahmad Memon  
Published: April 2024

In this research work, an open-loop experimental DC motor from National Instruments is investigated for speed control applications in the nuclear industry with higher accuracy. For performance analysis, the DC motor is mathematically modeled, and advanced control techniques are established. The two design approaches are therefore hardware in loop which is an experimental facility and mathematical in nature which is a simulation model. An adequate mathematical model of the DC motor is developed using the first principle. The hardware realization is accomplished by the DC motor experimental setup. Different advanced control algorithms such as PID, SMC, and MPC are developed for both model-based and hardware-based DC motor research studies. Model development, control synthesis, simulation, and analysis are carried out in Simulink and LabVIEW programming environments. Closed loop performance analyses of nonlinear and predictive controllers are evaluated and found much better, smoother, and robust than linear controllers for speed control of DC motors under different conditions.
