Connecting young people with greenspaces: The case for participatory video

1. The values that people hold are thought to be key in bringing about the trans formative change needed to halt biodiversity loss. Caring for nature has been con ceptualised as a relational value and is thought to be largely shaped in childhood and adolescence. Relational values, arising from human– nature interactions, are increasingly being viewed as critical to halting biodiversity loss. However, caring for nature is not seen as sufficient to bring about pro- environmental behaviour; a sense of efficacy is thought to also be required. 2. As human societies become more urbanised, the greenspaces in and around our cites will become increasingly important as spaces where people can experience human– nature interactions. 3. In our study, we explore participatory video (PV) as a tool for (a) providing new insights on young people's experience of greenspace, (b) enabling meaningful and transformative human– nature interactions and (c) building efficacy. 4. The films produced by the young people showed that greenspaces were not for them; they were associated with violence and bullying or simply thought of as ‘ boring ’. The study also provided unexpected evidence for the potential of PV,
The Effect of Bank Levy Introduction on Commercial Banks in Europe

We evaluated the effects of the bank levy (BL) on the profitability of commercial banks and the balance sheet reconstruction, and the shifting of banks’ activities into countries with lower BL rates after BL introduction. Moreover, we investigated the effects of the Basel III and Single Resolution Fund (SRF) introduction on the amount of BL payment. We compared two different BL designs: the Hungarian and the German versions. The results clearly pointed to the negative effect of BL introduction on the ROA of larger Hungarian commercial banks and of smaller commercial banks in Germany. Moreover, the results showed that the introduction of the BL did not influence loan activity in Hungary. However, it decreased the value of the loans from German commercial banks. The results showed that commercial banks in Hungary prefer to restructure their balance or shift assets among different locations or entities to decrease the bank levy. The research findings also showed that Hungarian commercial banks decreased the value of paid BL after the Basel III introduction. On the other hand, the results also showed that the value of paid BL in German commercial banks increased after the Basel III and SRF introduction, especially in larger banks.
The Prevalence of Psychiatric Disorders in Breast Cancer Patients; A Cross-Sectional Study of Breast Cancer Patients Experience in Pakistan

Background: This present study examined the prevalence and association of psychiatric disorders including hospital anxiety, stress, and depression, positive and negative affect in breast cancer patients. Furthermore, this study also investigated moderating role of emotional regulation on the relationship between hospital anxiety, and symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. Methods: Purposive sampling technique was used bases on cross-sectional study design. One hundred fifty-five diagnose patients with breast cancer were recruited from different hospitals as the Noori Hospital, Islamabad, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, Kulsoom International Hospital and Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan from August, 2019 to January, 2020 . The participant’s age ranges from 20 to 50 years old (M=35.00, SD=2.01). Four standardized instruments were performed to examine the prevalence of hospital anxiety, stress, depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, positive and negative mood swings in patients with breast. Results: Correlational and moderation analysis was performed to analyze data of study. This study’s results demonstrated that hospital anxiety was positively associated with psychological distress, anxiety and depression in breast cancer patients. Moreover, results of current study revealed that emotional regulation was negatively related to higher level of negative mood and hospital depression in cancer patients. Moreover, Finding also demonstrated that emotional regulation was playing role of moderator between overall hospital anxiety and emotional regulation in breast cancer patients. Moderation analysis found that hospital anxiety was associated with lower level of stress because it favors of higher prevalence of emotional regulation in breast cancer patients. Conclusions: The results of this study will be very helpful in hospitals for evaluation psychiatric features such as depression, anxiety and stress in breast cancer patients. But still there is a need to discover other psychological factors relating this study.
Quantitative proteomic analyses on the mechanisms of cold tolerance in two peach cultivars (Prunus persica L. Batsch) based on iTRAQ

Prunus persica, cold-tolerance, cold-sensitive, proteomics, cold stress What is already known on this subject? • The proteomic analyses of numerous plant species in response to cold have been well-investigated, such as grape, watermelon, winter turnip rape, wheat, cucumber, and Petunia. However, it remains unclear how the proteomics of peach trees respond to cold stress, and key proteins involved in cold tolerance of peach trees are rarely reported. Therefore, it is essential to understand the mechanism of cold tolerance in peach at proteome level.
Liouville theorem of D-solutions to the stationary magnetohydrodynamics system in a slab

In this paper, we study Liouville theorems of D-solutions to the stationary magnetohydrodynamic system in a slab. We will prove trivialness of the velocity and the magnetic field with various boundary conditions. In some boundary conditions, the additional assumption that the horizontal angular component(s) of the velocity or (and) the magnetic field is (are) axially symmetric is needed. More precisely, five types of boundary conditions will be considered: the vertical periodic boundary condition for the velocity and the magnetic field, the Navier-slip boundary condition for the velocity, the perfectly conducting or insulating boundary condition for the magnetic field, the non-slip boundary condition for the velocity, and the perfectly conducting or insulating boundary condition for the magnetic field. One of our innovations is that we do not impose finite Dirichlet integral assumption on the magnetic field compared with previous works.
Equilibrium analysis and coalition stability in R&D cooperation with spillovers

Abstract This article analyzes cost-reducing R&D cooperation by n horizontal firms, and studies two common cooperation modes with knowledge spillovers: R&D cartels (CT) and research joint ventures (RV). These firms are allowed to freely form coalitions (or alliances) among themselves to better coordinate their R&D efforts, and then compete in the production stage. We model the endogenous alliance/coalition formation between n firms given coalition structures as a two-stage game, in which the firms in the first stage choose to cooperate in R&D, and in the second stage all firms play a Cournot game in production quantity. Our results show that the coalition structure’s stability is closely affected by spillover rate and degree of R&D difficulty, number of participant firms, cooperation modes, and myopic and farsighted views. We find that the grand coalition is not always myopic stable and is farsighted stable under the CT mode with a three-firm or four-firm market, while the grand coalition is always not myopic stable but is farsighted stable under the RV mode only with a four-firm market. Moreover, we find that the conditions under which there are no myopic stable coalition structures for the RV and CT modes with regard to spillover rate and degree of R&D difficulty differ.
Measuring social well-being in Africa: An exploratory structural equation modelling study

The study investigated the factor structure of the 15-item social well-being scale in an African context. Social well-being is categorised into five dimensions: social integration, social contribution, social coherence, social actualisation and social acceptance. Data were collected from 402 participants in South Africa (50% male, average age of 21 years). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory structural equation modelling (ESEM) were conducted in Mplus (version 8.1), on the 15-item measure. Results showed advantages of ESEM’s flexibility, through which an unstable emic four factor solution emerged. For such complex multidimensional psychological constructs measured in novel contexts, ESEM is best suited for exploring factorial validity. Although the present study’s findings should have implication for theory, future studies should further explore social well-being measurement using the long- and short-form instruments in diverse African samples.
Biofloc Systems for Sustainable Production of Economically Important Aquatic Species: A Review

The increasing global population has led to an increase in food demand; consequently, aquaculture is one of the food production sectors that has offered opportunities to alleviate hunger, malnutrition, and poverty. However, the development of a sustainable aquaculture industry has been hindered by the limited availability of natural resources as well as its negative impact on the surrounding environment. Hence, there is an urgent need to search for better aquacultural production systems that, despite their high productivity and profitability, utilize fewer resources such as water, energy, land, and capital in conjunction with a negligible impact on the environment. Biofloc technology (BFT) is one of the most exciting and promising sustainable aquaculture systems; it takes into account the intensive culture of aquatic species, zero water exchange, and improved water quality as a result of beneficial microbial biomass activity, which, at the same time, can be utilized as a nutritious aquaculture feed, thus lowering the costs of production. Furthermore, BFT permits the installation of integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems in which the wastes of one organism are utilized as feed by another organism, without a detrimental effect on co-cultured species. This review, therefore, highlights the basics of BFT, factors associated with BFT for the successful production of aquatic species, the significance of this food production system for the sustainable production of economically important aquatic species, its economic aspects, drawbacks, limitations, and recommended management aspects for sustainable aquaculture.
Literature-Based Instruction: A Worthwhile Approach for the Mastery of a Second Language

Literature has the potential to encourage learners to become cognisant of patterns and linguistic features of the language because it creates an environment where the applications of the language can function. A growing body of literature has supported the incorporation of literature in second language teaching on the grounds that literature signifies a wide range of accurate use of the language features that paves the way for learning the target language. The present paper attempted to explore the perceptions of learners about welcoming literature in the language classroom for extending language use. The data presented in this study are from interviews. 60 senior-year ELT students were interviewed to reveal their attitudes towards the inclusion of literature into language teaching. Although a small number of the participants questioned the effectiveness of literature, a large number of the participants enumerated several reasons for the inclusion of literature in language learning. The results of the interview highlight the premise that the incorporation of literature into language teaching is shown to be worthwhile for offering a new language learning experience, creating a medium to promote engagement, providing an avenue for coming to good terms with personal development, building an ethos to enhance accuracy and fluency, and constituting ideal occasions to develop learner autonomy. Keywords: literature; language learning; incorporation; language awareness; language development
Justice Professionals’ Lens on Familial Trafficking Cases

Of the 30+ forms of human trafficking that exist worldwide, family-facilitated trafficking of minors receives little attention in the United States. This original research study sought to identify the prevalence, characteristics, and challenges associated with familial trafficking cases as experienced by justice professionals in the areas of case identification, investigation, prosecution, and victim services. The study included a survey and in-depth interviews leading to recommendations for increased training, improved data collection and reporting, heeding minors’ testimony, and expanding our victim service options.
Sport spectator adoption of technological innovations: a behavioral reasoning analysis of fan experience apps

ABSTRACT Mobile applications specifically designed for in-stadium use during games (referred to as fan experience apps) are an emergent technological innovation in professional team sports around the globe. Drawing on behavioral reasoning theory, this study proposes and empirically tests a model to explain sport spectator adoption of fan experience apps (FEA). By considering both reasons for and reasons against adopting FEA, the model represents an important theoretical extension of existing innovation frameworks in sport marketing. Using a qualitative pre-study, I operationalized reasons using specific pro-adoption factors (i.e., enjoyment, ease of use, game-related content, and social interaction) and anti-adoption factors (i.e., distraction from the game, declining atmosphere, social risk, and data security concerns). Survey data collected among German team sport spectators (N = 792) confirmed that both reasons for adoption (positively) and reasons against adoption (negatively) influenced adoption attitudes, usage intentions, and actual use of FEA. The results indicated that reasons for adoption had a stronger relative impact on spectators’ responses to FEA than reasons against. The study also delineated the relative contribution of specific pro-adoption and anti-adoption factors to overall reasons for and against adoption. The findings imply that FEA developers, marketing communications directed at potential users, and market research that explores consumer opinions of these technological innovations should take into account both reasons for and against FEA usage. HIGHLIGHTS Identifies both reasons for and reasons against the in-stadium use of fan experience apps (FEA). Reasons for adoption include enjoyment, ease of use, game-related content and social interactions. Reasons against adoption include distraction from the game, declining atmosphere, social risk and data security concerns. Both reasons for and against influence adoption attitudes, usage intentions and actual use of FEA.
Integration of Reaction and Product purification for trienzymatic catalyzed synthesis of Laminaribiose from Sucrose

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde Laminaribiose in einem One-pot Prozess untersucht. Sucrose ist das Substrat, die Synthese erfolgte durch sucrose phosphorylase (SP), glucose isomerase (GI), und laminaribiose phosphorylase (LP). Es dient auch als Modelsystem fur multienzymatische Prozesse. Fur eine kontinuierliche Prozessfuhrung wurde die Immobilisierung der Enzyme mit Chitosan-Polyphosphat sowie Agar untersucht. LP wurde durch Euglena gracilis kultiviert und optimiert, durch heterotrophe Kultivierung bei 33°C, mit Citronensaure-Phosphatpuffer bei pH 4.1. LP konnte nach 96 Stunden durch Ultraschallaufschluss geerntet werden, mit 0.52g/l pro Kulturvolumen. Aufreinigung und Aufkonzentration der LP Suspension wurde durch Ammoniumsulfatfallung (30%-60% Sattigung) und anschliesender Dialyse erhalten. Aufgereinigtes LP existiert als Monomer und Dimer mit Molekularmassen von 120kDa und 250kDA. Hochste katalytische Aktivitat der LP liegt zwischen 42°C-45°C bei pH 6,2. Die Doppelsubstratkinetik wurde mit den Reaktionen zu den hoheren Oligomeren erweitert um ein kinetisches LP Model zu beschreiben. Die Kinetik hangt vom Glucose/Glucose-1-Phosphat Verhaltnis ab. Ein Verhaltnis groser als 2 verursacht eine Verschiebung der Produkte zu Laminarbiose. Optimale Reaktionsbedingungen fur SP sind bei 45°C-50°C und pH 7,0. Das Reaktionsmodel wird durch eine Doppelsubstratkinetik mit Substratinhibierung beschrieben. GI folgt einer reversiblen Monosubstratkinetik mit optimalen Reaktionsbedingungen bei 60°C und pH 8,5. Das trienzymatische System hat optimale Bedingungen bei 45°C mit pH 6,2. Laminaribiosebildungen sind geringer als die Bildung der hoheren Oligomere. Die Reaktion wird durch Kombination von Mono-/Bisubstratkinetiken sehr gut beschrieben. Um aufgereinigte Produkte zu erhalten und zur Reduzierung der Bildung von hoheren Oligomeren wurde eine reaktionsintegrierte Produktentfernung (engl. in situ product removal) mit BEA150 als Adsorbens etabliert. Dadurch konnte Laminaribiose annahernd vollstandig von der Reaktionslosung entfernt werden. Die Immobilisierung der Enzyme in einer Chitosan/Polyphosphatmatrix sowie Agarmatrix war erfolgreich, mit guten Enzymaktivitaten. Enzyme in Agar verfugen uber eine hohere Aktivitat als in Chitosan/Polyphosphat und sollten daher fur die Etablierung eines immobilisierten trienzymatischen/ISPR Systems eingesetzt werden. Die erfolgreiche Produktion von Laminaribiose durch ein immobilisiertes trienzymatischen System konnte bestatigt werden.
Determinants of audit quality: Role of time budget pressure

There are many problems related to audit quality, which are often associated with audit failures. Internal government auditors in Indonesia also have issues with audit quality. Therefore, this study aims to present empirical evidence on the relationship between independence, competence, motivation, and audit quality. It will also determine the moderating effect of time budget pressure on the relationship between factors and audit quality. Data of this study were collected through a google form, in which 57 questionnaires were sent to internal auditors of government within the Principal Inspectorate of Indonesia’s Supreme Audit Institution for at least two years. The study adopted a quantitative approach using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with PLS version 3.0. The result findings of this study revealed that competence and motivation have a significantly positive effect on the quality of audit while independence does not. Time budget pressure does not significantly moderate such a relationship. In addition, these results have several significant implications for internal auditors as an object of consideration and evaluation relating to audits in the government sector, and information for government internal auditors to improve and maintain the quality of audit.
Relationships Between the Hand Grip Strength and BodyComposition in Czech and Slovak Students

Hand grip strength is considered to be an indicator of individual body strength and health and is influenced by many different factors (e. g. sex, age, and body composition). The aim of this research was to determine how the hand grip strength, body height, weight, BMI, and representation of body fat, muscle and bone mass are interconnected in young healthy adults (227 females, 208 males, aged 18–35 years, Czech and Slovak nationality). The maximum value of the hand grip strength (MHGS) was selected from the three tests conducted for each hand. The weight and body composition were measured using a segmental analyser Tanita BC-545. Males proved to have higher values of body height, weight, BMI and MHGS, they also had more muscle and bone mass. In females, the percentage of body fat was higher. Most of the correlations were positive and statistically significant (low or moderate correlations). The strongest positive correlations were found between MHGS and muscle mass (whole body and upper limbs) but also in bone mass in both females and males. Statistically non-significant and lowest correlations were found between MHGS and percentage of body fat in females and males except for males’ upper right limb (statistically significant negative correlation).
Aluminum Toxicity in Sweet Cherry Trees Grown in an Acidic Volcanic Soil

Chile is the world’s largest exporter of sweet cherries. New plantings have been shifted to southern regions, where aluminum (Al) phytotoxicity could be a serious constraint on establishing orchards in acidic volcanic soils. This study investigated the effects of soil Al on growth and macronutrient uptake in non-bearing ‘Bing’ on Gisela®6 trees grown in 120 L pots containing volcanic soil with four concentrations of exchangeable Al (0.12, 0.40, 0.60, and 1.24 cmol kg−1). At the end of the first and second seasons after planting, the trees were destructively harvested, and individual organs were analyzed for dry weight, Al concentration, and macronutrient concentration. Increasing soil Al concentrations had a detrimental effect on nutrient uptake and growth, particularly in the second season. However, fine-root growth was significantly reduced from the first season and from low soil Al concentrations. In sweet cherry trees, Al was preferentially accumulated in root tissues and its translocation to aerial organs was restricted. In addition, Al accumulation in fine roots, in conjunction with a reduction in root growth, severely restricted the uptake of N, P, K, Mg, and, particularly, Ca. Therefore, soil acidity must be corrected to ensure the successful establishment of sweet cherry orchards in southern Chile.
Observing Two Reading Intervention Programs for Students with Dyslexia

ABSTRACT This exploratory study examined the nature of instruction provided in two reading intervention programs designed for elementary-grade students with dyslexia (The Multisensory Teaching Approach and Reading RULES! ). In addition to documenting the proportion of time dedicated to particular content components (i.e., letter-name knowledge, phonological awareness, phonics/decoding, encoding, sight word recognition, passage reading/fluency, comprehension, vocabulary), the research team also documented the degree to which instruction (a) included teacher explanation/modeling, guided practice, group practice, and individual practice, (b) addressed particular types of decoding/encoding procedures, including multi-sensory (defined as tactile/kinesthetic) procedures and use of orthographic rules, and (c) made use of given instructional materials. The team conducted 12, ~45-minute observations. There were many similarities between the two programs (e.g., both were explicit, systematic, and sequential; both included curriculum-based measures of student learning that informed instruction; both dedicated approximately equal amounts of time to decoding and encoding instruction). However, our observations indicated a statistically significant difference between the programs (p < .002) in proportion of time dedicated to letter-name knowledge, text reading, and comprehension instruction. The programs also differed in their emphasis on articulating/applying orthographic rules and on particular procedures for decoding and encoding words.
