<p>The Western Anatolian extensional tectonic regime results in developing a set of approximately E-W trending Horst-Graben morphology. The Gediz graben accommodating many fertile lands is one of the significant tectonic structures associated with that regime. Intensive grape cultivation requiring irrigation has been conducted in these lands for many years, which causes a permanent decrease in the water budget as a consequence of increasing farming activities. Hence, we have aimed to clarify better spatial subsidence of the eastern part of the Gediz graben and performed at first InSAR data to obtain land-surface deformations. Towards the middle of graben, the line-of-sight deformation rates of InSAR from LiCSAR products reach gradually up to nearly 10 cm/yr. To confirm these rates, we monumented four continuous GNSS stations.  One of which was located out of the graben while the rest were at the graben in June 2020. Analysis of such a short time-series does not make sense; however, the vertical displacements for the closest stations to the center of the graben reach up to about 8 cm. while out of the graben station seems to be stable visually. It is worth stating that the givens are biased due most likely to the periodic signals. Consequently, the gradually increasing subsidence rates towards the graben center showed that have not been driven only by tectonic settlements but could also be driven by other phenomena. These results are the first results of the ongoing project no 119Y180 supported by TUBITAK.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Land subsidence, GPS, InSAR, Gediz Graben</p>

Abstract Background The key challenge to constructing functional corticomuscular coupling (FCMC) is to accurately identify the direction and strength of the information flow between scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and surface electromyography (SEMG). Traditional TE and TDMI methods have difficulty in identifying the information interaction for short time series as they tend to rely on long and stable data, so we propose a time-delayed maximal information coefficient (TDMIC) method. With this method, we aim to investigate the directional specificity of bidirectional total and nonlinear information flow on FCMC, and to explore the neural mechanisms underlying motor dysfunction in stroke patients. Methods We introduced a time-delayed parameter in the maximal information coefficient to capture the direction of information interaction between two time series. We employed the linear and non-linear system model based on short data to verify the validity of our algorithm. We then used the TDMIC method to study the characteristics of total and nonlinear information flow in FCMC during a dorsiflexion task for healthy controls and stroke patients. Results The simulation results showed that the TDMIC method can better detect the direction of information interaction compared with TE and TDMI methods. For healthy controls, the beta band (14–30 Hz) had higher information flow in FCMC than the gamma band (31–45 Hz). Furthermore, the beta-band total and nonlinear information flow in the descending direction (EEG to EMG) was significantly higher than that in the ascending direction (EMG to EEG), whereas in the gamma band the ascending direction had significantly higher information flow than the descending direction. Additionally, we found that the strong bidirectional information flow mainly acted on Cz, C3, CP3, P3 and CPz. Compared to controls, both the beta-and gamma-band bidirectional total and nonlinear information flows of the stroke group were significantly weaker. There is no significant difference in the direction of beta- and gamma-band information flow in stroke group. Conclusions The proposed method could effectively identify the information interaction between short time series. According to our experiment, the beta band mainly passes downward motor control information while the gamma band features upward sensory feedback information delivery. Our observation demonstrate that the center and contralateral sensorimotor cortex play a major role in lower limb motor control. The study further demonstrates that brain damage caused by stroke disrupts the bidirectional information interaction between cortex and effector muscles in the sensorimotor system, leading to motor dysfunction.

Summary The internationalization is becoming a part of company’s strategy, requiring some effort for getting its success. The present article is aimed at showing that joining the sale group is one of many ways of internationalizing activity for small and medium enterprises. The article presents the roles of sales group activity, its typical structure and opportunities and threats for its functioning. Based on collected data it was pointed, that companies, especially SME should analyze perspective for joining the sale group in their supply chain or seek for other forms of cooperation supporting their foreign market entry. Cooperation allows in relatively short time to achieve first results. Resignation of cooperation should be a conscious decision of management. Such decision, as every one, can bring expected benefits or be difficult to reconstruct it in the future.

Panel regression model may seem like an appealing solution in conditions of limited time series. This is often used as a shortcut to achieve deeper data set by setting several individual cases on the same time dimension, where cross units visually but not really multiply a time frame. Macroeconometrics of the Western Balkan region assumes short time series issue. Additionally, the structural brakes are numerous. Panel regression may seem like a solution, but there are some limitations that should be considered.
