Amongst all the factors involved in coastal risk assessment, climate variability is key, due to its potential for modifying the coast, particularly through increased seasonal risk of erosion-flooding on the coast (Toimil et al. 2020; Wahl and Plant 2015). The principal driver of interannual variability of the wave climate around the world is El Nio-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Many researches have focused on the analysis of this phenomenon globally ( Stopa and Cheung 2014), its impacts on regional wave climate (Barnard et al. 2015, 2017; Oderiz et al. 2020; Reguero, Mendez, and Losada 2013) and their local coastal effects ( Mortlock and Goodwin 2016). This interest in ENSO impacts in wave climate is motivated by its capacity to cause coastal erosion (Barnard et al. 2015). Particularly, the temporal and spatial transition of ENSO is nowadays a current issue (Ha et al. 2012). On the worlds coasts, the ENSO impacts delay is not yet fully understood, nor integrated into engineering practices.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/DZbOYztPYW0

The literature is dominated by the studies on refugee studies since it is a current issue with great importance. In addition, this group of people leaving their homes due to serious human rights violations need to occupy a great space in the policy agendas and to be studied to enlighten policymakers and authorities in this fragile process of handling the issue of immigration. This necessitates higher education institutions involvement for a healthier and more systematic process of adaptation. Among the large group of refugees, Syrians—upon the break of the civil war in 2011—are the most visible group in Turkey. Witnessing the swiftly changing socio-economic dynamics in the world, Turkey is now home to a considerable number of Syrians. Furthermore, the intersection of Syrian refugees and the Turkish society has generated an intercultural space impacting on their SLA experiences, which is complicated by the process of adjustment concerning the two groups—those “uprooted” from their homes and the host society.

The author of the article discloses the prospects of development of the world feed production for aquaculture based on the analysis of key innovative technological and market trends. The author specifies that shortage, high cost, low ecological compatibility of traditional raw materials - fish flour - are among major limiting factors in the development of production of feeds for aquaculture. This fact, in turn, limits sustainable development of aquaculture both in Russia, and in the world in general. The article presents the overview of a current status of the world industry of feed production in aquaculture, where the regional situation is studied, as well. For the first time, there is given the outlook of innovative technologies in feed production based on the alternative sources of protein (on the example of projects of leading aquabiotechnological companies) which will determine industry’s objectives for the mid-term perspective.

COVID-19 is a current sensational and dangerous threat that affects millions of people across the world. As the day progresses the rate of growth of COVID-19 drastically increases. No vaccine or specific antiviral drug are active against corona, therefore, preventing the exposure to the virus is the base of support against its spread across the world. Despite the implementation of preventive measures, the rate of virus-infected cases progressively increases which stimulates our thought process to raise a question, whether the preventive measures that we follow are effective against the spread of COVID-19 infection. Evidence from previous literature obtained from various online tools implies multiple preventive measures that should be followed and also illustrates their mechanism of action against the active spread of COVID-19 infection. According to the results from the evidence, we can identify the gold standard preventive measure among the described preventive measures. The precautionary measure encompasses both pharmaceutical interventions and non- pharmaceutical interventions among which non-pharmaceutical measures are superior in the prevention of the developing pandemic. Among the non-pharmaceutical interventions, social distancing is the paramount to other measures in the mitigation of the spread of viral infection.

A ampliação do campo das políticas públicas, a partir da década de 1980 no Brasil, tem provocado o surgimento de uma diversidade de práticas nas quais se dirigem novas demandas para o campo da psicologia.  Com o intuito de problematizar o efeito destas demandas na reconfiguração deste campo, tomamos a naturalização como eixo norteador. Desenvolvemos inicialmente nosso argumento partindo da análise da naturalização como um elemento que se fez presente desde a instauração da psicologia, considerando as crises que operam em seu desenvolvimento desde o momento que ela se impôs a tarefa de renovação e ultrapassagem de modos de compreensão naturalizantes.  Esta renovação é um fato histórico que se repete no desenvolvimento da psicologia mantendo-se como uma tarefa sempre incompleta. Assim, para formularmos aspectos relativos às especificidades dos efeitos da naturalização das demandas nas instituições nos dedicamos a um retorno às elaborações iniciais dos analistas institucionais que se realizaram no contexto das manifestações de maio de 1968. De posse destes elementos passamos à análise do contexto atual das políticas públicas, partindo de uma reflexão sobre a inteligibilidade neoliberal e o quanto ela vem transversalizando tanto a dimensão das demandas quanto das práticas da psicologia. Depois avançamos sobre algumas considerações do quanto o redimensionamento da relação da política com a clínica pode criar alternativas perante as modulações do capitalismo vigente.

Technical Considerations

Coastal erosion contributes to the loss of particularly valuable land, which can damage coastal ecosystems and cause economic and social damage to the area where they occur. Coastal erosion is a natural process that affects shores around the world. The article present aspects of coastal erosion in Romania as well as some solutions proposed to reduce this phenomenon. Submerged structures are exposed to erosion therefore a close monitoring is necessary. A malfunction will result in the damage of the structure as well as endangering marine wildlife. The proposed solutions are meant to protect the coastal area against erosion, protecting the shore, adjacent land and ecosystems. These solutions will also protect the economic infrastructure and social objectives endangered by marine erosion. A monitoring program will be implemented for a medium and long term, supporting the maintenance operations.

ABSTRACT  Racialism is a social issue that has become a culture in major countries. Many protest movements against social issues, starting from the community, an organization, to a well-known brand, one of which is Nike. Nike is one of the most well-known and successful sports brands in terms of products and athletes in all sports. This is one of the keys to the success of the Nike brand in awakening the world to the issue of racism, which is widely shown through its visual campaign in the form of an official Nike poster advertisement entitled “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything "Colin Kaepernick," Speaking up doesn't always make life easier. But easy never changed anything "Raheem Sterling, and George Floyd's official video ad" For once, Don't do it ". The three controversial official Nike advertisements are an interesting topic to discuss in this journal. The method used is a descriptive qualitative method that aims to find out what visual forms the Nike brand is trying to raise in raising the issue of racism by describing the context surrounding the event, describing how the process happened to become an official advertising campaign in the form of a visual object using the technique. semiotics in describing it. The results of this study are to find out how the visual form of Nike's official brand advertisements in conveying the current issue of racism and with a semiotic approach we can find out how Nike is in delivering campaigns about the issue of racism in order to form understanding and sensitivity to the social issues of racism around us.   Keywords: racism, advertisement, poster, video, brand, Nike

Abstract. The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon is the main source of the predictability skill in many regions of the world for seasonal and interannual timescales. Longer lead predictability experiments of Niño3.4 Index using simple statistical linear models have shown an important skill loss at longer lead times when the targeted season is summer or autumn. We develop different versions of the model substituting some its variables with others that contain tropical or extratropical information, produce a number of hindcasts with these models using two different predictions schemes and cross validate them. We have identified different sets of tropical or extratropical predictors, which can provide useful values of potential skill. We try to find out the sources of the predictability by comparing the sea surface temperature (SST) and heat content (HC) anomalous fields produced by the successful predictors for the 1980–2012 period. We observe that where tropical predictors are used the prediction reproduces only the equatorial characteristics of the warming (cooling). However, where extratropical predictors are included, the predictions are able to simulate the absorbed warming in the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ).
