Aim. To study the semantic content of the concepts of "ideology" and “propaganda", the issues of their development and evolution in various historical eras.Methodology. The authors examined the relationship between the concepts of “ideology” and “values”, “propaganda” and “education”, studied the features of the use of these terms in the modern Russian political language. The principles of objectivity, scholarship and historicism were applied.Results. The article analyzes in detail the legal and political meaning of the content of Art. 13 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It was concluded that there is an ideological dominant in Russian society, based on a nationwide worldview consensus on the most important and significant issues of the country’s development. According to the authors, the terms “ideology” and “values”, “propaganda” and “enlightenment” reflect various aspects of inherently close social-political phenomena and are not antagonistic. At the same time, in terms of the effectiveness of the transfer of social practices, the use of the concepts of “ideology” and “propaganda” has advantages over other terminological options.Research implications. The results obtained are applicable to the implementation of activities in the field of patriotic education of citizens of the Russian Federation.

Over the past decades, global ocean oxygen inventories have declined by 0.5–3.3% relative to historical averages, with significant uncertainties in data-sparse regions such as the South Pacific and Indian Oceans. These gaps hinder accurate estimates of deoxygenation rates, potentially leading to underestimation of its magnitude. In this context, gridded oxygen products are essential for assessing global and regional trends and projecting the impacts of deoxygenation on marine ecosystems. However, traditional Optimal Interpolation (OI) methods are known to underestimate ocean oxygen loss, particularly in poorly observed areas.To address these limitations, we propose a novel approach to build a gridded oxygen concentration product. Specifically, we develop a neural network emulator of oxygen concentration based on temperature and salinity measurements. This neural network is then used to generate emulated oxygen concentration data, which are combined with dissolved oxygen measurements to produce a new global gridded oxygen concentration product spanning 1965 to 2022. We evaluate our product against climatological estimates from the World Ocean Atlas and other gridded oxygen products. Future work will leverage this gridded product to study the regional evolution of ocean deoxygenation, particularly in Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) regions.

L’Aldilà è un luogo speciale, difficile da raggiungere da vivi. Ed è un luogo senza ritorno. È il viaggio della catabasi degli eroi: Eracle, Teseo, Odisseo. In Luciano di Samosata diventa, sulle tracce del mito e dell’epica omerica, un paradigma narrativo e una via della satira. Il nuovo eroe è in particolare Menippo nella Negromanzia. Il regno dei morti, con la sua speciale geografia, è il luogo dell’alterità, ossia il luogo ideale della satira per guardare alla realtà della vita umana in un modo differente.

The peer recovery workforce, including individuals in sustained recovery from substance use, has grown rapidly in the previous decades. Peer recovery coaches represent a scalable, resource-efficient, and acceptable approach to increasing service delivery, specifically among individuals receiving substance use services in low-resource communities. Despite the potential to improve access to care in traditionally underserved settings, there are a number of barriers to successfully integrating peer recovery coaches in existing recovery services. The current study presents results from two focus groups composed of peer recovery coaches. Findings suggest that peer recovery coaches report discordance between their perceived role and their daily responsibilities and experience both inter- and intrapersonal challenges that impact their own recovery processes. These results point to several promising policy and structural changes that may support and enhance this growing workforce.

The giant planets of our Solar System are exotic laboratories, enshrouding keys which can be used to decipher planetary formation mysteries beneath their cloudy veils. Seismology provides a direct approach to probe beneath the visible cloud decks, and has long been considered a desirable and effective way to reveal the interior structure. To peer beneath the striking belts and zones of Jupiter and to complement previous measurements—both Doppler and gravimetric—we have designed and constructed a novel instrument suite. This set of instruments is called PMODE—the Planetary Multilevel Oscillations and Dynamics Experiment, and includes a Doppler imager to measure small shifts of the Jovian cloud decks; these velocimetric measurements contain information related to Jupiter’s internal global oscillations and atmospheric dynamics. We present a detailed description of this instrument suite, along with data reduction techniques and preliminary results (as instrumental validation) from a 24-day observational campaign using PMODE on the AEOS 3.6 m telescope atop Mount Haleakalā, Maui, HI during the summer of 2020, including a precise Doppler measurement of the Jovian zonal wind profile. Our dataset provides high sensitivity Doppler imaging measurements of Jupiter, and our independent detection of the well-studied zonal wind profile shows structural similarities to cloud-tracking measurements, demonstrating that our dataset may hold the potential to place future constraints on amplitudes and possible excitation mechanisms for the global modes of Jupiter.

Introduction As the number of mass gathering events increases, so too does the reliance on tertiary emergency healthcare services. Approximately 1% of event attendees may present to a local emergency department for clinical assessment and/or management. Often, these attendees are transported by ambulance services. The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency and location of events held in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. This information may be used by event and health service personnel to further inform event planning such as staffing, equipment and economic considerations when large events in the community occur. Methods This descriptive study used data scraping of an established data warehouse to identify events held in the 2017 calendar year by name, type, location (within the state of NSW) and duration. Using Google Maps, the distance and travel time between these events and the nearest emergency department (ED) was determined. Data was analysed using simple descriptive statistics. Results Of the 722 events in NSW analysed, 395 were single-day events. The majority of these were concerts (n=284, 39%), followed by festivals (n=259, 36%) and sporting events (n=176, 24%). The average distance and time to arrive at an ED from an event was 15.0 (±35.8) kilometres and 15.4 (±27.2) minutes, respectively. Conclusion Existing literature has highlighted that event attendees are regularly transported to emergency departments from events. This research has demonstrated that events occur frequently with varying vicinity to nearest EDs, with the majority of events occurring near territory care centres. However, there is limited research on the impact on emergency healthcare services resulting from an event.
