Authors: Ashikin Alias Nurul , Diana Mohd Idris Nor , Siwar Chamhuri , Alam Md. Mahmudul , Yasar Muhamad
Published: January 2022

The east coast of Malaysia is frequently hit by monsoon floods every year that severely impact people, particularly those living close to the river bank, which is considered to be the most vulnerable and high-risk areas. We aim to determine the most vulnerable area and understand affected residents of this community who are living in the most sensitive areas caused by flooding events in districts of Temerloh, Pekan, and Kuantan, Pahang. This study involved collecting data for vulnerability index components. A field survey and face-to-face interviews with 602 respondents were conducted 6 months after the floods by using a questionnaire evaluation based on the livelihood vulnerability index (LVI). The findings show that residents in the Temerloh district are at higher risk of flooding damage compared to those living in Pekan and Kuantan. Meanwhile, the contribution factor of LVI-Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) showed that Kuantan is more exposed to the impact of climate change, fol-lowed by Temerloh and Pekan. Among all the principal components shown, food components were considered to be the most vulnerable. Meanwhile, water components were categorised as the most invulnerable. Preventive planning involves preserving human life, minimising damage to household products, preserving crops and animals, adequate supply of clean water and food, good health and ensuring financial sustainability as an indication of changing livelihoods, sustainable food-storing systems, and other protective steps to curb damage and injury caused by annual flood strikes. Information generated on LVI assessment and adaptation procedures will help policymakers reduce people’s vulnerability in the face of floods and ensure proper plans are put in place in all relevant areas.

Published: January 2022

Currently, nurses’ job performance in Nigeria’s public healthcare system has been called into question and is under more pressure due to the current global COVID-19 pandemic. In enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency and promptness of Nigeria’s public healthcare service delivery, this study seeks to explore how work engagement could play a key role in explaining the influence of organisational commitment on nurses’ job performance. A survey-based questionnaire, using a simple random technique was employed to collect data from 406 nurses working in public hospitals in Kaduna State, Nigeria. The data were analysed employing the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). Results demonstrate that affective and normative commitment wield positive significant effects on nurses’ job performance, while work engagement significantly mediates affective commitment, normative commitment and nurses’ job performance relationships. Consequently, this study recommends that the management of Nigeria’s public healthcare system and its policymakers should improve the commitment level of nurses through work engagement with a view to enhancing how well they do their job. This study benefits all the relevant stakeholders of Nigeria’s public healthcare system.

Published: January 2022

Intravenous (IV) ketamine has been shown to have rapid antidepressant effects in individuals with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This treatment protocol describes a clinical method for use of subcutaneous (SC) and intramuscular (IM) racemic ketamine in individuals with TRD, developed by a team at the University of British Columbia (UBC), UBC Hospital, and Vancouver General Hospital. The use of SC and IM ketamine may be more feasible in clinical settings than IV ketamine and provide better access to this novel treatment.

Authors: Diana Mohd Idris Nor , Muhamad Nurfashareena , Taha Mohd Raihan , Bari Azizul , Alam Md. Mahmudul
Published: January 2022

Landslides represent one of the world’s most dangerous and widespread risks, annually causing thousands of deaths and billions of dollars worth of damage. Building on and around hilly areas in many regions has increased, and it poses a severe threat to the physical infrastructure and people living within such zones. Quantitative assessment of social vulnerability in Malaysia is worrying because it has been given less attention than hazard-related studies. Therefore, this study’s objective is to find out the indicators used for social vulnerability assessment in the context of a landslide in Malaysia. The analysis is critical for understanding the measures of social vulnerability, given that the incorporation of climate change and disaster risk mitigation issues in urban planning and management are considered priorities in ensuring a stable popula-tion growth and avoiding economic disruption. A systematic study on the Scopus and Web of Science repositories was conducted based on the PRISMA Report analysis method. This article concluded that there are six important indicators of social vulnerability in the context of land-slide in Malaysia.

Authors: Azhar Nurul Izzaty Hasanah , Lokman Norziana , Alam Md. Mahmudul , Said Jamaliah
Published: January 2022

Predicting the sustainability of a business is crucial to prevent financial losses among shareholders and investors. This study attempts to evaluate the Altman model for predicting corporate failure in distressed and non-distressed Malaysian companies based on the data of financially troubled companies which are classified as Practice Note 17 (PN17) and matching similar non-PN17 companies during the period 2013 to 2017. This study utilizes panel ordinal and panel random effects regressions. Findings show that the liquidity, profitability, leverage, solvency, and efficiency ratios are negatively significantly associated with corporate failure and bankruptcy. The leverage ratio is determined to be the strongest indicator of bankruptcy, followed by profitability, liquidity, solvency, and efficiency ratios. The findings will help companies’ management bodies implement suitable strategies to prevent further financial leakage, thereby ensuring continuous and sustainable return on investment and profits for investors and shareholders.

Authors: Johari Razana Juhaida , Alam Md. Mahmudul , Said Jamaliah
Published: January 2022

Purpose – Integrity-related issues are now endemic to public service bureaucracies. It is claimed that corruption in the public sector is very common in various departments/agencies. Lack of integrity will lead to failings in governance and proper oversight of procedures, and subsequently poor financial management and incidents of fraud. Based on the Stakeholder Theory Perspective, this study examines the influences of accountability, risk management and managerial commitment on practices of integrity in the Malaysian public sector. Design/methodology/approach – Primary data were collected through both printed and online questionnaires given to 210 department heads operating within selected Malaysian federal ministries. Data were analysed via the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) approach to examine the research hypotheses. Findings – It is evident that integrity practices in Malaysia’s public sector are statistically significantly related to risk management, accountability, and management commitment. Practical/Policy implications – The findings will help the Malaysian federal ministries to take the necessary steps to improve integrity so that dependability and efficiency are the hallmarks of public sector services. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first to examine the role of accountability, risk management, and managerial commitment to integrity in the public sector of a developing market economy.
3D Convective/Stratiform Echo Type Classification and Convectivity Retrieval from Radar Reflectivity
Authors: Dixon Michael , Romatschke Ulrike
Published: January 2022

The newly developed ECCO (Echo Classification from COnvectivity) algorithm identifies convective and stratiform types of radar echo in three dimensions. It is based on the calculation of reflectivity texture - a measure of the heterogeneity of the radar echoes on each horizontal plane in a 3D Cartesian volume. Reflectivity texture is translated into convectivity, which is a newly invented quantitative measure of the convective nature of each three dimensional radar grid point. It ranges from 0 (100% stratiform) to 1 (100% convective). By thresholding convectivity, a more traditional qualitative categorization is obtained which classifies radar echoes as convective, mixed, or stratiform. In contrast to previous algorithms, these echo type classifications are provided on the full three dimensional grid of the observed reflectivity field. The vertically resolved classifications, in combination with temperature data, allow for sub-classifications into shallow, mid, deep, and elevated convective features, and low, mid, and high stratiform regions - again in three dimensions.The algorithm was validated using datasets collected during the PECAN field campaign, which took place over the US Great Plains in 2015. An analysis of lightning counts shows that the majority of lightning flashes occur in regions classified as deep convective features by ECCO. A statistical comparison of ECCO echo types with the well established GPM radar precipitation type categories show strong agreement. ECCO was also applied to radar grids for the Continental US, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, and Europe, illustrating its robustness and adaptability.
Confidence of others trumps confidence of self in social information use
Authors: Gradassi Andrea , van den Bos Wouter , Molleman Lucas
Published: January 2022

Humans live in a fundamentally social world. The behavior and judgments from friends, colleagues, television hosts and social media feeds drive our purchase decisions, induce lifestyle changes, and determine voting preferences. People tend to be more sensitive to social information when they are unsure about their own beliefs, and assign more weight to social information when its source is highly confident. However, little is known about the relative impact of the confidence of self and others on social information use, and how they jointly shape social transmission. Here we show with two incentivized decision-making experiments that the confidence of others had a substantially larger impact on social information use than people’s own confidence. In tasks involving perceptual decisions (experiment 1; N=203) and US election predictions (experiment 2; N=213), participants could adjust their initial judgments upon observing judgments of others and were rewarded for accuracy. Adjustments were most strongly impacted by the confidence of others, particularly when participants’ own confidence was low. Furthermore, confidence also affected adjustment heuristics: confident others prompted participants to compromise more often, rather than to stick with their initial judgments. Our results highlight how giving more weight on the confidence of others can be a double-edged sword: it can accelerate learning when confidence is related to accuracy, but it also leaves people vulnerable to sources who confidently share misinformation.
Gender Bias in Special Issues: Evidence from a Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Formanowicz Magdalena , Witkowska Marta - , Hryniszak Weronika , Jakubik Zuzanna , Cislak Aleksandra
Published: January 2022

Even though the majority of psychologists are women, they are outnumbered by men in senior academic ranks. One reason for this representation bias in academia is that men favor other men in decision-making, especially when the stakes are high. We tested the possibility of such bias in a bibliometric analysis, in which we coded editors' and authors' gender in regular and special issues, the latter considered of higher scientific prominence. We examined all special issues from five prominent scientific outlets in the fields of personality and social psychology published in the 21st century. Altogether, we analyzed 1,912 articles nested in 93 sets comprising a special issue and a neighboring regular issue treated as a control condition. For articles published in special (but not regular) issues, when there were more men editors, more men first-authored and co-authored the work. This pattern suggests how gender bias can be perpetuated within academia and calls for revising the editorial policies of leading psychology journals.

Authors: Kraft Brage , Bø Ragnhild , Jonassen Rune , Heeren Alexandre , Ulset Vidar , Stiles Tore , Landrø Nils Inge
Published: January 2022

Depression is associated with reduced executive functioning. Still, we lack a more detailed understanding of the factors explaining this association. Addressing several limitations in the previous literature, we examine whether poor executive functioning is associated with specific depression symptoms using a network approach. The sample consisted of currently depressed, previously depressed, and never-depressed individuals (n = 289). Associations between poor executive functioning and nine depression symptoms were estimated using regularized Gaussian graphical modelling. Results showed associations between poor executive functioning and fatigue/energy loss, interest/pleasure loss, appetite changes, sleep problems, and concentration difficulties. Fatigue/energy loss was the most important symptom bridging depression with poor executive functioning. There were no direct associations between executive functions and core negative affect symptoms. Findings are discussed in the context of motivational impairments, and potential mechanisms such as immunological- and stress-related processes are considered.
Whose Investments in Higher Education Have Been Most Influenced by Labor Market Conditions in Recent Decades?
Authors: Jiang Dezhi
Published: January 2022

Theoretically, high school graduates are more likely to enroll in college during periods of unfavorable labor market conditions because of a lower opportunity cost. However, how this causal relationship has varied in recent decades (from the 1980s to the 2010s), and how the gender and race heterogeneity of this causal effect differs over time are open empirical questions. This research utilizes continuity and a large sample size of the IPUMS Current Population Survey (IPUMS CPS) and finds the causal relationship has increased in recent decades. The estimates also show that the educational decisions of men are generally more sensitive to current labor market conditions than those made by women, but the gap between the sexes is diminishing. Further, the impact of labor market conditions on educational decisions is heterogeneous across race and ethnicity groups as some have been more influenced than others during some decades. Moreover, this research explores a way to use the new information from each year’s CPS October Education Supplement survey to update the estimates of this causal effect and compare the estimates to studies using the cohort survey or administrative data.
EMB Composition in European Comparison
Authors: Lidauer Michael , Rabitsch Armin , Grohma Paul
Published: January 2022

Election management bodies (EMBs) can be classified according to different criteria; their composition is one of them. Most EMB typologies pertain to composition and recruitment at the top, and not at the level of sub-ordinate commissions and polling stations. wahlbeboachtung.org has undertaken preliminary research to compare EMB models in Europe on the basis of OSCE/ODIHR reports. This research illustrates that Austria shares a common model – political parties nominating poll workers – predominantly with countries in its eastern neighbourhood, but also indicates the need to conduct further research into EMB compositions and the correlations between various levels, not the least in the context of ongoing electoral reform debates in Europe.

This article focuses on the classroom discourse of English language class in the Terai region of Sudurpaschim Province. It analyses the classroom discourse of secondary level English language classes. Classroom discourse in the English language class in the Terai region of Sudurpaschim Province has not been studied yet. Similarly, it aims to explore how classroom discourse is practiced in the English language classes and find out ways using English language from the linguistic perspective. Classroom discourse reciprocates the cultural development. Simultaneously, this article tries to show that classroom discourse is means of motivation and the study contends to show that classroom discourse is a means of interaction. Students and teachers can reflect their conceptualization in the class. Additionally, classroom discourse maintains cognitive aspect of teachers and learners. In the English language classroom, classroom discourse works as source of interaction and motivation. Furthermore, it provides opportunities to students. Thus, classroom interaction is the use of language in the class that we term as classroom discourse.
Activities Undertaken by the English Language Teachers for Professional Development
Authors: Bhandari BhimLal
Published: January 2022

The success of language learning and teaching mainly depends upon the professional activities that the teachers employ to improve job performance and provide appropriate input for better learning output in their students. By attending various workshop seminars and trainings, teachers update professional skills regularly and make their teaching career better and efficient. This study aimed at exploring the most common activities undertaken by the English language teachers for developing their professional skills. The study was carried out within the theoretical framework of social constructivism adopting narrative inquiry method to bring lived experiences of the participants. By using unstructured interview, I gathered information from two teacher participants teaching at secondary level in community schools in Butwal Sub-Metropolitan city, Rupandehi. The study revealed that the English language teachers were found attending conferences, trainings and workshop seminars, engaging in action research and academic writing for their professional development. However, poor internet access, lack of regular professional trainings and collaborative culture among them were the major challenges in teachers’ professional development. The study can contribute to improve the classroom pedagogy of the English language teachers and provide some insights to their knowledge and professional skills in the practices of various professional activities to be much more competent and skillful.
Determining the Sample in Qualitative Research
Authors: Subedi Khim Raj
Published: January 2022

This paper focuses on the considerations in determining the number of participants for qualitative research because of the lack of clear guidelines in this area. The study has employed a semi-systematic literature review that is embedded with the researcher's experience. The study has concluded that the purpose of the research, methodological choices, theoretical framework and analytical strategy, data saturation, researcher's knowledge and experience, and institutional and supervisor's requirements need to be considered while choosing the participants in qualitative research. In addition, the focus has been to explore in-depth information from small number of participants. Generally, participants in qualitative research can be added or removed during the research process rather than the prior determination. This paper suggests that the researchers are autonomous to select the participants in qualitative research and they can choose from a single to twenty samples that can be varied upon the depth of the information required and the nature of the inquiry. While conducting the narrative inquiry, one to twenty or more participants can be selected with justification.
Sublimity and Defamiliarisation in Buddha’s the Dhammapada
Authors: Bhandari Sabindra Raj
Published: January 2022

This article aims to explore and interpret Buddha’s sayings in the Dhammapada from the perspective of defamiliarisation theorised by Shklovsky and sublimity postulated by Longinus. The Dhammapada is an assemblage of Buddha’s precepts in verses. In this book, Buddha’s words ignite the power and transport the readers in the realm of ecstasy. It is because of the perfect use of sublime and defamiliarisation. Every verse divulges the eternal truth in simple, but powerful words because it synthesises the sources of the sublime categorised by Longinus namely divine inspiration, vehement passion, use of rhetorical tropes, noble diction, and elevated composition. So, Buddha’s words possess power, and have been captivating the readers throughout the ages. Likewise, Buddha’s sayings in the Dhammapada have attained a pinnacle when they irradiate the eternal truth with the use of familiar words in an unfamiliar way. Even the simple words crystallise the genuine truth. In this sense, they use the dynamics of defamiliarisation projected by Shklovsky. In this way, the Dhammapada enthralls humanity endlessly because it yokes defamiliarisation with sublimity. This article implements the exploratory method of the qualitative approach to research to achieve its objectives. Thus, this study introduces a new dimension, revisiting the great heritage of Eastern philosophy from the standpoint of western literary theories.
Socio-culturally Embedded Vedic and Ethnoecological Knowledge: Decolonising Perspectives and Practices
Authors: Koirala Kamal Prasad
Published: January 2022

This study explored the Vedic and Ethno-ecological knowledge embedded within cultural practitioners, teachers and students. To obtain the objective of this explorative and decolonising study, I purposively selected two Ethno practitioners, two science teachers and four students. About 55 minutes focus group discussion was carried out with selected students and near about one-hour interview was carried out with Ethno practitioners and teachers. The collected information was transcribed and then translated into English and main themes were identified using the Rhizomatic approach by connecting the nodal point to identify main themes. Then each theme was analysed using the abductive approach to justify the participants' arguments. The finding indicates that Vedic and socio-cultural practice consisted of world peace and sustainable development ideas. Cultural students learned this knowledge by seeing their elders' day-to-day practice. Teachers are also seen aware of the effect of modernisation but show reluctance to implement it in school science teaching. Local as well as the central government could be serious to implement Vedic and Ethnocultural knowledge to preserve the earth as well as the whole universe. The Vedic and Ethno knowledge is seen fully supported for the decolonising western-based pedagogical practices.

Hybrid Recommendation Using Temporal Data for Accuracy Improvement in Item Recommendation
Authors: Parasuraman Desabandh , Elumalai Sathiyamoorthy
Published: January 2022

Recommender systems have become a vital entity to the business world in form of software tools to make decisions. It estimates the overloaded information and provides the suitable decisions in any kind of business work through online. Especially in the area of e-commerce, recommender systems provide suggestions to users on the items that are likely based upon user’s true interest. Collaborative Filtering and Content Based Filtering are the main techniques of recommender systems. Collaborative Filtering is considered to be the best in all domains and always outperforms Content Based filtering. But, both the techniques have some limitations like data sparsity, cold start, gray sheep and scalability issues. To overcome these limitations, Hybrid Recommender Systems are used by combining Collaborative Filtering and Content Based Filtering. This paper proposes such kind of hybrid system by combining Collaborative Filtering and Content Based Filtering using time variance and machine learning algorithm.
Developing the SVN CLEI: A Novel Psychometric Instrument for Evaluating the Clinical Learning Environment of Student Veterinary Nurses in the UK
Authors: Holt Susan L. , Farrell Mary , Corrigan Richard H.
Published: January 2022

Student veterinary nurses (SVNs) in the United Kingdom can spend over half their training time within the clinical learning environment (CLE) of a training veterinary practice before achieving clinical competency. Sociocultural complexities and poor management within the CLE may have a significant impact on the learning experiences of SVNs, as has been found in studies involving student human nurses. The aim of this research was to develop and validate the SVN CLE Inventory (CLEI) using principal component analysis (PCA), via a cross-sectional design, based on inventories already established in human nursing CLEs. The SVN CLEI was distributed to SVNs via an online survey over a 3-month period, generating 271 responses. PCA resulted in a valid and reliable SVN CLEI with 25 items across three factors with a total variance explained of 61.004% and an overall Cronbach’s alpha (α) of .953 (factor 1: clinical supervisor support of learning [α = .935]; factor 2: pedagogical atmosphere of the practice [α = .924]; factor 3: opportunities for engagement [α = .698]). Gaining student feedback is a requirement set out by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Standards Framework for Student Veterinary Nurse Education and Training, and the SVN CLEI can be used to complement the current evaluation of the training veterinary practice CLE. This will facilitate development of a more comparable, consistent, and positive experience for SVNs during clinical training in the UK.

Optimization of plant nutrition in the initial stages of the development is important for the formation of productive elements of the main and additional spikes and grain yield. The article presents the results of the studying of the effect of slow-release chlorine-free fertilizers in seed dressing application at the rate of 100 kg/ha on the formation of productive elements in winter wheat compared with the zone control (nitroammophoska) and a variant without fertilizers. Field research was conducted in 2019–2021 on winter bread wheat cultivars Bohdana and Samurai. The fertilizers produced by FertinAgro were studied: DuraSOP with the content of NPK(S) – 9:20:12:(15), 10:10:17:(20), and 4:26:12:(10). It is established that the influence of weather conditions on the variability of grain weight per spike, grain number per spike, thousand kernel weight significantly exceeded the studied factors in both cultivars. The formation of productivity elements under the impact of the studied fertilizers depended on the cultivars and manifested themselves in different ways in different weather conditions. DuraSOP fertilizers did not have a significant difference in the effect on grain number and weight per spike in cv. Bohdana compared to the control in arid conditions, but grain weight from spike increased to 1.74–1.78 g compared to the application of nitroammophoska, and grain number per spike varied insignificantly under favorable conditions. Application of DuraSOP fertilizers in cv. Samurai allowed to form 1.17–1.21 g of grain in spike under the arid conditions and 1.47–1.49 g – in the favorable conditions, which did not differ significantly from the control. The DuraSOP ActiBION increased the number of productive shoots by 8.4% and DuraSOP Phos – by 7.7% in cv. Bohdana, while only DuraSOP Phos significantly affected the productive shoots in cv. Samurai (an increase of 3.8%). Application of slow-release fertilizers allows obtaining grain yield of 6.58 to 7.03 t/ha in cv. Bohdana and 6.61–6.80 t/ha in cv. Samurai. Fertilizers have higher efficiency in cv. Bohdana, while there was a significant increase in cv. Samurai only when DuraSOP Phos was applied (0.31 t/ha or 4.8%). The application of slow-release fertilizers also increases the protein content in the grain by 0.3-0.5%. Sensitivity of cultivars to different ratios of macronutrients in pre-sowing fertilizers is one of the elements of technology that have a high impact on wheat cultivation, so the use of effective forms can increase yields up to 11.4% compared with typical fertilizers.

The autumn application of herbicides in is an effective measure to control the most harmful species of winter weeds, such as Apera spica-venti, Galium aparine, Veronica persica, Consolida regalis, Capsella bursa-pastoris, Descurainia Sophia, Vicia villosa etc. These measures are especially effective in the early stages of wheat growth, starting from the seed germination stage, when it is most sensitive to the presence of weeds. The article presents the results of two-year studies on the biological effectiveness of herbicide Pledge 50, WP in different periods of development of winter wheat (BBCH 00, 11, 12, 14 and 16) alone and in a mixture with herbicides partners: Zenkor Liquid 600, SC, Marathon, SC, Granstar Gold 75, WG, Grodil Maxi 375, OD and adjuvant Skaba, EC. As a result, it was found that the biological effectiveness of the studied herbicides against Apera spica-venti and other winter and winter weeds differed significantly depending on the phase of development of winter wheat at the time of their application. Pre-ceed application of herbicides does not provide proper control of Apera spica-venti and other winter and winter weeds. For the period of spring vegetation of wheat, the control of Apera spica-venti with the use of 0.1 kg / ha of Pledge 50, WP was 69.0 %, with an overall efficiency of 68.0 %. Application of 0.4 l / ha Zenkor Liquid 600, SC provided indicators, respectively, 66.1 and 71.4 %. The application of 0.1 kg / ha of Pledge 50, WP to the BBCH 11 phase of wheat provided high control efficiency of Apera spica-venti and all weeds in general with rates of 91.2 and 87.6 %, respectively. The use of a reduced rate of 0.08 kg / ha Pledge 50, WP in the BBCH 12 phase did not reduce both the overall effectiveness against weeds – 87.4 % and Apera spica-venti, in particular – 93.1 %. The use of Pledge 50, WP (0.1 kg / ha) in the BBCH 16 phase was slightly worse, but the acceptable effect was 84.2 % against Apera spica-venti and 83.6 % overall. The best control of Apera spica-venti and all weeds in general was obtained using a mixture of Pledge 50, WP + Granstar Gold 75, WG + Skaba adjuvant, EC (0.06 kg / ha + 0.025 l / ha + 0.05 l / ha) in the phase of BBCH 14 – 97.5 and 99.2 %, which is at the level of Zenkor Liquid 600, SC + Grodil Maxi 375, OD (0.35 l / ha + 0.11 kg / ha). Significantly the highest yield of winter wheat in the experiment was obtained by application of a mixture of Pledge 50, WP + Granstar Gold 75, WG + adjuvant Skaba, EC (0.06 kg / ha + 0.025 l / ha + 0.05 l / ha) in the phase BBCH 14 – 7.56 t / ha, which is 59.8 % better than control.

Studies of the influence of different technologies of ordinary chernozem cultivation on the reserves of productive moisture for growing corn for grain and winter wheat in the steppe zone of Ukraine The parameters of productive moisture at the technology of growing field crops with "zero tillage" of the soil ("No-till") relative to the shelf plowing are determined. Inserted. That the system "No-till" contributes to a significant reduction in moisture loss due to unproductive evaporation at a high rate of absorption of precipitation, provides reliable protection of soil from erosion. When covering the soil surface close to 100% in summer under corn, the reserves of productive moisture in the root layer are 1.5 and more times higher than the corresponding reserves with traditional technology; in the absence of mulch, the humidification regime with the technology without tillage is more intense than traditional. The regime of soil moisture under winter wheat for corn for silage is better by "zero" technology, but no significant difference between the options for an average of 3 years. In the snowless winter with "zero" technology with mulch, the height of snow cover was 3.2 times higher than traditional technology. It was found that a prerequisite for growing crops without tillage in the area of insufficient moisture is the creation of a thick layer of mulch due to the non-commodity share of crop yields, which in crushed form remains on the soil surface. Projective mulch coverage of 100% or close to this level is the key to the widespread introduction of cultivation technologies without tillage in arid steppe conditions.
Anaesthetic and Perioperative Management of Elderly Female with Post Covid ARDS with Comorbities Undergoing Emergency Laparotomy for Obstructed Umbilical Hernia
Authors: Gnp Pateel
Published: January 2022

Elderly female with chronic hypertension, known case of atrial flutter on rate control medication who recently treated for COVID-19 pneumonia on oxygen support(PFR=190) came to emergency room with complaints of abdominal mass and pain associated with vomiting, not passing stools. Diagnosed to have obstructed umbilical hernia with extensive secondary bacterial pneumonia with ARDS (ASA-4E). COVID-19 RTPCR test negative. Taken up for emergency laparotomy under combined spinal and epidural anaesthesia (CSEA). Post operatively patient was managed in intensive care unit for 5days with oxygen, invasive lines, vasopressor support and epidural infusion. Post covid patients presenting for emergency surgery requires evaluation of surgical illness and post covid sequels like oxygen dependency, cytokine storm, secondary bacterial infection, ARDS, lung fibrosis renal and liver dysfunction. Atrial flutter in perioperative period may lead to haemodynamic instability and thromboembolic events resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Laparotomy in these patient is challenge. Needs better analgesia perioperative period to prevent further respiratory deterioration.
THE FORMATION OF FLEXIBLE COOPERATION SKILLS IN INVENTIVE TEAMS IN THE SYSTEM OF ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION OF STUDENTS
Authors: Zvonkina O.
Published: January 2022

The article deals with the aspects of the formation of cooperation skills in the inventive teams of students in the system of additional technological education. An innovative economy creates a demand for constant updating of knowledge and the formation of flexible skills. Specialists with flexible skills are becoming more and more in demand in the technological sphere of the economy. The directions for the development of a new innovative reality are clearly seen, they are: distance education, telemedicine, security, unmanned vehicles, “smart homes”, robots, ecosystems. All these areas require the education system to train specialists with high creative activity and flexible skills. Within the framework of the studied problem of the formation of cooperation skills in the inventive teams of students in the system of additional technological education, the key role of cooperation in the creation of innovations is observed. Also, the stages of the project on the creation of innovations by the inventive teams of students are shown. The role of a teacher-mentor in the formation of cooperation skills and management of the risks of manifestation of conformism and other destructive manifestations in inventive teams is marked out. Organizational forms and pedagogical technologies that contribute to the formation of cooperation skills in collective inventive activity have been justified.  It is concluded that cooperation skills are not given to a person at birth, they are developed in the process of organized activity on certain principles and in a certain form.
TEORÍA DEL CASO Y SINTAXIS MINIMISTA
Authors: Gallego Ángel
Published: January 2022

Este trabajo discute el papel que desempeña el Caso en la teoría lingüística, ofreciendo diferentes formas de reflejar tal fenómeno desde la perspectiva de la gramática generativa. Por tanto, se revisan mecanismos como la Rección, la concordancia SPEC-núcleo o la Atracción. El artículo dedica especial atención tanto al sistema de Sonda-Meta de Chomsky 2000, 2001, como a la idea de Pesetsky y Torrego 2001 de que lo que llamamos Caso es en realidad un rasgo de tiempo/aspecto que aparece «de manera equivocada» en entornos nominales, considerando su relevancia para la llamada «intervención defectiva» y los «efectos de extracción» en lenguas como el inglés, el islandés o el español.
CARACTERIZACIÓN GENERAL DE LA LEXICOGRAFÍA HEBREA ANDALUSÍ
Authors: Martínez Delgado José
Published: January 2022

El creciente interés por la técnica lexicográfica me sugiere presentar, a manera de esbozo, los orígenes y características de la fructífera lexicografía hebrea andalusí. En las siguientes páginas pretendo ensayar por vez primera una periodización de esta técnica y presentar sus orígenes, evolución y sus principales características, ilustrado, en la medida de lo posible, con textos originales. Se trata en definitiva de ofrecer una aproximación a esta prolífica técnica medieval tal y como se desarrolló en la Península Ibérica durante cinco siglos.
UN ANÁLISIS DE LAS PROPIEDADES COMBINATORIAS DE LOS PRIMITIVOS SEMÁNTICOS A TRAVÉS DE LAS ADPOSICIONES COMPLEJAS EN INGLÉS ANTIGUO
Authors: Guarddon Anelo María del Carmen
Published: January 2022

Este trabajo constituye un estudio del contenido léxico de una serie de adposisiciones complejas en inglés antiguo y los procesos morfo-semánticos que las originaron. Concretamente, he analizado las adposiciones que tienen como elementos controladores in, on y at. El marco teórico utilizado es el Metalenguaje Semántico Natural (en adelante, MSN). Mi objetivo principal es demostrar que la explicación de las propiedades combinatorias de los primitivos espaciales propuestos en el MSN puede servir para aclarar aspectos de la gramática del léxico espacial que no han sido tratados todavía por escuelas altamente centradas en esta cuestión, como la Lingüística Cognitiva.Los primitivos espaciales se usan aquí para dilucidar tres cuestiones fundamentales: 1) Contenido semántico de la adposición resultante: significados de los constituyentes heredados por el compuesto, significados que quedan bloqueados en el proceso y nuevos significados que emergen en el compuesto; 2) Las incompatibilidades semánticas que evitan la combinación de algunas adposiciones y 3) La organización sintáctica interna que encontramos en estas adposiciones. 4) La evolución diacrónica de las adposiciones complejas analizadas. Propongo una serie de factores semánticos como origen de la desaparición de algunas de estas adposicionesmientras que, en cambio, otras han llegado hasta nuestros días.
TRES CONDICIONES DE EMPIRISMO PARA LOS HECHOS DEL LENGUAJE, DE INTERÉS EN UN ENFOQUE COGNITIVO
Authors: Hernández Sacristán Carlos , Gallardo Paúls Beatriz
Published: January 2022

Determinar las condiciones de empirismo de los datos constituye –como es bien sabido– una cuestión clásica de la lingüística. Sin embargo, la respuesta a lamisma debe ser renovada en toda aproximación crítica a los paradigmas establecidos o a los métodos concretos de investigación. Este es el caso al menos para la lingüística clínica y para disciplinas próximas como la psicolingüística o la neurolingüística. Asumiendo como presupuesto la dimensión cognitiva del lenguaje, proponemos en este trabajo una nueva versión para tres condiciones de empirismo, claramente diferenciables en términos metodológicos y epistemológicos, pero que deben ser tenidas en cuenta de manera conjunta en la asignación de relevancia a los datos lingüísticos. Estas tres condiciones constituyen viejos temas de discusión en la historia de la lingüística. Proponemos aquí su reformulación o ajuste conceptual, teniendo en cuenta los intereses propios de las disciplinas mencionadas. Recientes investigaciones, tanto de base experimental como etnográfica, avalan la propuesta. Nos permitimos denominar estas tres condiciones en los siguientes términos: 1) accesibilidad individual del hecho social; 2) carácter interiorizable o perspectiva de oyente; 3) oralidad o procesamiento preconsciente (esto es, procedimental) del lenguaje.
PARÁMETROS SOCIOLINGÜÍSTICOS EN LA ELECCIÓN DE LA PRIMERA PERSONA EN HIPÓLITO DE EURÍPIDES
Authors: Pereira Rico María
Published: January 2022

Este artículo se refiere a la influencia de los parámetros sociolingüísticos de edad, jerarquía social y género en la elección de la primera persona del singular y del plural por parte de los personajes de la tragedia de Eurípides Hipólito. Los datos extraídos de dicha tragedia mostrarán que existe una distribución del singular y del plural en función del poder que posean los personajes, de tal manera que aquellos con mayor importancia social acudirán al singular en mayor medida, mientras que el plural se encontrará con mayor frecuencia en boca de los personajes inferiores en jerarquía social. Asimismo, el estudio de los contextos mostrará en qué circunstancias utilizan aquellos el plural y en cuáles los personajes no libres acuden al singular. Por tanto, se deduce que la influencia principal viene ejercida por el parámetro de jerarquía social, mientras que los de género y edad se encuentran en un segundo plano.
