Americans for Progressive Israel: Radical Zionism in the United States, 1967–1973
Authors: Elmaliach Tal 
Published: February 2024

Americans for Progressive Israel (API) was one of the prominent forces in the larger Radical Zionist movement in the US. The chronicle of its rise, the way it established itself as a social, political, and ideological movement, and the causes of its decline offer valuable insights into how the encounter between Zionism and the New Left played out in North America. My perspective on API is based on two historical theses, both of which challenge major elements of current scholarship on Radical Zionism. First, I argue, the tension between the New Left and Zionism in the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s had its origin in a dissonance between established ways of thinking in both the New Left and in Zionism, and in newly emergent political and social conditions. Radical Zionism, the ideology on which API was founded, had dropped out of sight at the end of World War II, only to gain new relevance after the Six-Day War. My second claim is that, as an ongoing historical phenomenon, Radical Zionism in the United States was born of the interaction between three theaters of events – the United States, the Jewish world, and the Zionist establishment. As such, it cannot be understood only on the basis of one of those arenas. I will show how the interactions between these three social spaces shaped API between 1967 and 1973.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to examine how the tensile strength of glass fibre reinforced polymer stirrups is affected by different types of solutions, including alkaline, seawater, tap water, and acidic solutions. The study involved the production and testing of 260 stirrups in two different shapes (L and U) with diameters of 6 and 8 mm. The stirrups were immersed in different solutions for a period of 9 months at different temperatures (25, 40, and 60 °C). The findings indicated that the alkaline solution was the most aggressive environment, resulting in a maximum reduction of 92% in tensile strength after 9 months at 60 °C. Seawater and acidic solutions were the second and third most aggressive environments, causing maximum tensile strength reductions of 34 and 22% respectively, after 9 months at 60 °C. On the other hand, tap water was found to be the least aggressive environment, causing a maximum tensile strength reduction of 20% after 9 months at 60 °C. Furthermore, the study observed that the L-shaped stirrups exhibited slightly superior performance compared to the U-shaped stirrups. However, the diameter of the stirrups was found to be a negligible factor.
Expert Media Content: Creation and Use in Modern Media
Authors: Kaminskaia Tatiana , Erokhina Oksana 
Published: February 2024

Expert media content in the face of uncertainty and instability is becoming more and more in demand: we are talking about the mutual interest of journalists and the audience in obtaining better and more professional content, at the same time accessible for understanding and perception without special training. An important factor stimulating active interaction of journalists and experts was a significant decrease in the level of citizens' trust in the media in the face of information overload and rapid spread of fake news. The relevance of this article is due to the widespread practice of the media to attract experts, and its research task is to describe the options for obtaining and using expert media content and, based on the criterion for its use, to propose a typology of modern media projects. We used the following methods: 1. content analysis of media with an audience of more than half a million; 2. expert interviews of professional journalists and editors of mass media. The interviewees were selected based on the principle of having five years of experience and professional education, involvement in the news agenda (7 in total); 3. experiment and self-reflection of expert activity in the media (mainly on a digital platform Pressfeed.ru) the authors of the article. The study found: 1. Expert media content is socially significant content that is in demand by the target audience of the media resource, has an educational focus, received by the media from a specialist in a narrow field of knowledge. 2. The need for socio-political media to receive expert comments in the shortest possible time while maintaining the high quality of content actualizes the use of specialized digital platforms such as Pressfeed.ru. 3. The media are characterized by a difference in the place in them of expert content related to their specifics; Information-centric people use expert commentary as an addition to journalistic content to reflect the current socio-political agenda. Expert-centric build the entire media project on expert content — these are educational projects, resources of useful advice and media professional communities. The scientific discussion concerning the problem of expert knowledge in the media points to the transformation of the roles of the journalist/editor and the audience and the inclusion of artificial intelligence in the media sphere.

Authors: Korkonosenko Sergey , Khubetcova Zalina 
Published: February 2024

In 2022, one hundred years have passed since the opening of the world's first dissertation council for awarding academic degrees in the field of journalism. The remarkable anniversary gives a reason for considering the ways in which the development of academic research in this field has been going on. The authors aim to trace the trajectories of the journalism researches on international and national scales. In methodological terms, the development of research cognition is understood as a continuous process of an evolutionary nature, and it acquires distinct features of national and cultural identity. Taking into account the latter circumstance, the article pays special attention to the experience of Germany, the USA and Russia, in particular the research traditions of St. Petersburg University. Based on the review of the latest literature and information that appeared in library catalogs during the digitalization of the funds, as well as taking into account previously published documentary sources, the history of the formation of the knowledge on journalism in a broad transnational perspective was tracked and the logic of the methodological paradigm shift was revealed in the field of journalism research. The stages of formation and the current state of the St. Petersburg Scientific School of Journalism and Mass Communications — the oldest in Russia — are described. Its evolution and current practice reflect the characteristic features of the national research tradition. Special attention is paid to the experience of project organization of scientific activities at St. Petersburg State University and the results obtained over the past ten years. In order to promote the ideas, views and methodological approaches shared by scholars, the ongoing series of monographs “St. Petersburg School of Journalism and Mass Communications” was established in 2018.
Leadership in the Humanitarian Sphere: Interest in Jour­nalism in the Regions of the World in Conditions of “Academic Capitalism”
Authors: Yakova Tamara , Yanglyaeva Marina 
Published: February 2024

The authors make an attempt to examine the humanitarian knowledge as a subject of interest of the global Internet audience, focusing on journalism, journalism education, journalistic work. Via rank analysis within the framework of media geographical approach the authors continue to monitor socio-political processes in the context of so-called academic capitalism, which directly affects such a problem of modern science as upholding the rights to the priority of theoretical knowledge and the transformation of specialized faculties into applied schools, higher education into a commodity. This article presents the results of the analysis of big data of Google and Yandex on topics related to the professional activities of a journalist, the prestige of journalism education and journalistic work in general, and journalistic ethics. For a more accurate interpretation of the data obtained as a result of the rank analysis, the ratings of the leading schools of journalism and mass communications in the world and the United States, as well as the educational programs of universities, were studied. The authors come to the conclusion that, in general, academic knowledge and journalism, in particular, the leading positions are still held by the traditional centers of power — the United States and Great Britain. At the same time, the desire of new regional leaders — India, China, South Africa — and some other countries of the world to raise journalism as a professional and educational field to a new qualitative level is clearly manifested, which is expressed in the growing dynamics of thematic requests of Internet users in these countries over the past 10 years.
TV Channel “CGTN-Russian” on Video Hosting YouTube in the Context of Comparison with Other International Channels
Authors: Meng Zhang 
Published: February 2024

Currently, the interaction of international television channels with YouTube is a topical research issue. This is primarily due to the expansion of opportunities to attract the audience, the formation of the country’s image and competition for the right to speak. The article presents the results of the analysis of the Chinese TV channel “CGTN in Russian” on the video hosting site YouTube. The channel is analyzed in the context of comparing it with other international TV channels, which have Russian-language broadcasting. In particular, this refers to “BBC News — Russian Service” and “Euronews in Russian”. In the period from December 16, 2016 (channel registration date) to January 5, 2023, all videos with more than 100,000 views on the YouTube channel “CGTN in Russian” were studied and classified by views, video duration and subject matter. In total, the author analyzed 171 materials. The results of the study showed the following: 1. Based on the obtained data, the TV channel does not understand the specifics of YouTube and the processes of convergence well enough. 2. From the point of view of Russian-language YouTube accounts, there is still a gap between CGTN and media in developed countries. 3. In order to increase video views and attract more viewers on the YouTube platform, China's Russian-speaking channel is actively developing content, integrating current and local events of Russian-speaking countries, and bringing exclusive content to the local audience. 4. One of the most obvious goals of international broadcasting is propaganda. CGTN channel's content strategy includes promoting Russian-Chinese friendship and China's image. 5. As China's official TV channel, CGTN should more often use the method of “embedding opinions into materials” and express its position and proposal by reporting and interpreting international hotspots.
Personal values in the perceptions of volunteer activities among university students

Published: February 2024

Introduction. Student youth is the most active part of society. The development of the student personality is necessary to ensure a stable future society. The study is devoted to revealing the structure of ideas about volunteering among university students.Due to the difficult political and economic situation in the country and in the world as a whole, a multi-level volunteer movement is actively developing: from those supported by administrative struc­tures to individual types of activities shown by individual citizens on their own initiative. The volunteer movement solves both local problems and goes to the national level, through the translation of the value base of its activity.Aim. The present research aims to study the structure of ideas about volunteering in university students and to identify the axiological content in these ideas. With this aim, complexes of semantic markers were identified, indicating groups of values according to the classification of S. Schwartz. This allows using semantic markers for axiological analysis of information.Methodology and research methods. As a method, an associative experiment modified for the re­search tasks, was used. 159 university students were interviewed in Ekaterinburg, Kurgan, and Tyumen. 1431 associations related to volunteering were analysed.Results. The weight of a value and its position in the hierarchy was determined by the number of associations that correlate with this value semantically. In the first place, there is the value of security, in terms of the security of another person. In the second place, there is the value of kindness, and, in the third place – the value of universalism. The value of universalism emphasises the voluntariness and disinterestedness of volunteering. This is followed by the value of independence, which expresses the as­pect of activity and initiative. The next is the value of tradition. The values of stimulation, achievement, hedonism and conformity are the least expressed in students’ perceptions. The values of security, uni­versalism and kindness are fully reflected in the views of students. The values of independence and tra­dition are represented by a certain facet, aspect. Other values are represented weakly and diffusely. Such a differentiation of values is connected with the content of volunteering, as well as with the students’ ideas about it. The study shows the fundamental isomorphism of the content of activity, ideas about this activity and the relevance of the hierarchy of personal values.Scientific novelty. The ideas about volunteering are considered through the prism of personal values. A hierarchically organised profile of values associated with volunteering is revealed.Practical significance. Many organisations are in need of volunteer help but are having difficulties recruiting and retaining volunteers. The value of the current research is to understand what can attract and retain volunteers.

Published: February 2024

Objectives. To examine nurses’ well-being and identify individual and workplace factors associated with adverse outcomes. Methods. We administered an e-mail survey to registered nurses in Michigan in March 2022. Outcomes included the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory–Exhaustion scale, self-harm thoughts (yes/no), and overall wellness on a 0 to 10 visual analog scale. Covariates included practice environment, psychological safety, workplace abuse, staffing adequacy, stress coping strategies, and demographics. We examined associations between covariates and exhaustion, thoughts of self-harm (both via logistic regression), and overall wellness (via linear regression). Results. Among surveyed nurses, 93.63% reported significant exhaustion, 9.88% reported self-harm thoughts, and the mean (SD) overall wellness score was 6.2 (2.3). Factors associated with exhaustion included inadequate staffing, lower psychological safety, and younger age. Factors associated with self-harm thoughts included recent workplace physical abuse and younger age. Factors associated with higher wellness scores included employer support, favorable practice environments, higher job satisfaction, and positive coping strategies. Conclusions. Negative well-being outcomes were prevalent among registered nurses and were associated with correctable workplace deficits. Nurses’ well-being is a national public health problem that warrants comprehensive interventions at individual, workplace, and community levels.

Published: February 2024

Background. Mental health is declining in health care workers. Objectives. To provide a comprehensive assessment of intervention literature focused on the support and treatment of mental health within the health care workforce. Search Methods. We searched online databases (e.g., Medline, PsycINFO). Selection Criteria. We selected manuscripts published before March 2022 that evaluated the target population (e.g., nurses), mental health outcomes (e.g., burnout, depression), and intervention category (e.g., mindfulness). Data Collection and Analysis. Of 5158 publications screened, 118 interventions were included. We extracted relevant statistics and information. Main Results. Twenty (17%) earned study quality ratings indicating design, analysis, and implementation strengths. Randomized controlled trials were used by 52 studies (44%). Thirty-eight percent were conducted in the United States (n = 45). Ninety (76%) reported significant changes, and 46 (39%) reported measurable effect sizes. Multiple interventions significantly reduced stress (n = 29; 24%), anxiety (n = 20; 17%), emotional exhaustion or compassion fatigue (n = 16; 14%), burnout (n = 15; 13%), and depression (n = 15; 13%). Authors’ Conclusions. Targeted, well-designed mental health interventions can improve outcomes among health care workers. Public Health Implications. Targeted health care‒focused interventions to address workers’ mental health could improve outcomes within this important and vulnerable workforce.

Optimizing of a Metal Foam-Assisted Solar Air Heater Performance: A Thermo-hydraulic Analysis of Porous Insert Placement
Authors: Al-Chlaihawi kadhim , Hasan Moayed , Ekaid Ali 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

A numerical assessment of the heat transfer efficacy of a Solar Air Heater (SAH) was carried out. The SAH is supplied with a porous metal foam layer to improve thermal mixing. Both the two temperature equations assuming Local Thermal Non-equilibrium (LTNE) and Darcy-Extended Forchheimer (DEF) models were employed to forecast fluid and thermal transport within the partly filled SAH channel. The analysis was performed for various values of foam layer lengths (𝑆 = 0 − 1), pore densities (𝜔 = 10 − 40 𝑃𝑃𝐼), and Reynolds numbers (𝑅𝑒 = 4000 − 16,000) at a fixed value of layer thickness (𝐻𝑓 = 0.6). Based on the position of the porous layer, three distinct arrangements, marked as Case 1, Case 2, and Case 3 were explored. Regarding the parameters examined, the findings indicate a definite improvement in the average Nusselt number (𝑁𝑢), but unfortunately, the friction factor also increases unfavorably. By reducing the length of the porous layer, a reasonable reduction in heat transfer rate and a significant decrease in pressure drop were noticed. The results showed about 26.64%, 48.73% and 70.74% reductions in pressure drop by reducing the dimensionless foam length from 1 to 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 respectively for 𝜔 = 10 at 𝑅𝑒 = 16,000. In contrast there are only about 11.05%, 23.11% and 40.78% reductions in 𝑁𝑢. The exhaustive analysis of the thermal performance of SAH was conducted using the thermal performance factor (TPF), which considers the trade-off between the SAH channel's potential for improved heat transmission and its cost for pressure loss. The TPF may reach a maximum of 2.82 compared to the empty channel when the metal foam layer is inserted with 𝑆 = 1, for 𝜔 = 10, and 𝑅𝑒 = 16,000.
Energy security and its determinants in New Zealand
Authors: Solaymani Saeed 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

New Zealand is an importer of fossil fuels, with around 38% of its primary energy derived from these sources. Due to its population and economic growth, New Zealand’s energy demand is projected to increase by 28% between 2020 and 2030, adding more pressure on the energy system. Moreover, the growing concern over the scarcity of resources, volatility in energy prices, and environmental challenges has made energy security one of its primary focuses. The object of this study is to investigate the main determinants of energy security using the dynamic autoregressive distributed lag method based on time series data from 1978 to 2021. The results of this study show that there is a long-run link between energy security and energy intensity (energy efficiency), renewable energy use, fossil fuel consumption, and global oil prices. Real GDP, renewable energy consumption, and energy security improve energy security, while fossil fuel consumption and world oil prices decrease it. A unidirectional causality exists from real GDP, fossil fuel consumption, and renewable energy use to energy security. The causality link between energy intensity and energy security is bidirectional. The simulation results indicate that the impact of global crude oil prices on energy security is significantly lower compared to other variables. It responds greatly to a 5% shock to fossil fuel consumption compared to other variables, followed by economic growth.

Abstract

Airborne dust accumulation on open-air photovoltaic modules reduces the transparency of solar cell glazing in dry weather and results in a considerable lessening of the photovoltaic module's capacity to transform sunlight into electricity. This experiment studied how airborne dust on a solar PV module affects open circuit voltage, short circuit current, maximum power, Fill Factor, and module efficiency at different times of the year. The dust accumulation occurs naturally outdoors, and all the parameters are measured in an indoor setup at 25°C and 1000 W/m2 irradiance from June to November 2015 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The highest dust deposition density is 23.76 gm/cm3 obtained in November and the measured efficiency loss is above 27% for that day depending on the weather conditions and dust accumulation. From the I-V curve analysis, the obtained curve is nearly identical for clean and dusty photovoltaic panels. Dusty panel curves capture a smaller area, reducing energy production. The current reduces significantly for the dusty module, resulting in a power output of 172–232 W compared to 235–238 W for the clean module. The obtained results elaborately demonstrate how dust accumulation significantly reduces the efficiency of solar cells.

Abstract
The etiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) remains unclear. Here, we conducted a combined analysis integrating single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and Mendelian randomization (MR) to reveal the causal effect of potential genes associated with the incidence of BPH. Based on scRNA-seq, we found the number of monocytes increased in prostate transition zone tissues of BPH patients and analyzed the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) specific to monocytes. We identified SLC25A37, a member of solute carrier transporters, was casually associated with increased incidence of BPH based on MR, Bayesian colocalization, and reverse MR analyses. Follow-up analysis showed SLC25A37 was involved in inflammation and cell proliferation-related signaling pathways in classical monocytes in prostate transition zone tissues. We also revealed the potential associations between the SLC25A37 gene and BPH pathogenic genes, current BPH drug targets, as well as the patient’s age, providing novel insights into the underlying mechanism and potential therapeutic options of BPH.
