IL-18 AND ADROPIN LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE
Authors: EREN Alper , İYİGÜN İbrahim
Published: December 2021

Objective

Atherosclerosis, one of the prominent factors causing

dysfunctional vascular events in stroke patients,

is a multi-factorial and complex process in which

endothelial dysfunction and vascular inflammation

play significant roles. This study aimed to investigate

the relationships between serum levels of IL-18 and

adropin, associated with endothelial dysfunction and

inflammatory processes in acute ischemic stroke

patients, with epidemiological, clinical, radiological

findings and stroke severity.

Materials and Methods

Sixty-one patients diagnosed with acute ischemic

stroke and 30 healthy individuals were included in the

study as the patient and control groups. In the patient

group, the stroke sub-groups and severity were

determined etiologically and clinically. Venous blood

samples were obtained within the first 24 hours in the

patient group, and at any time in the control group,

their serums were separated and stored at -80°C. IL-8

and adropin levels were determined using the ELISA

method. The relationships between patient and

control groups’ IL-18 and adropin levels and ischemic

stroke were analyzed statistically.

Results

The adropin level was statistically significantly

lower in the patient group than the control group

(398.01±403.51 and 509.42±1492.89, respectively;

p=0.041). The IL-18 levels of the study and control

groups were similar (24.87±14.26 and 21.11±14.93,

respectively; p=0.112). There was no relationship

between the IL-18 and adropin levels determined

with stroke risk factors, stroke sub-groups, and stroke

severity.

Conclusion

These results showed that low adropin levels could be

used to indicate atherosclerosis in the risk prediction

scales of ischemic stroke. The absence of a difference

between the patient group with acute ischemic stroke

and the control group regarding the first 24-hour mean

serum IL-18 level suggested that IL-18 could play

a role as a late-stage cytokine in ischemia-related

inflammation.
THE TENDENCIES OF DECREASING THE INVESTING ACTIVITIES AND THE NUMBER OF JOBS IN GEORGIA AT THE BACKGROUND OF INCREASING ECONOMIC INDICATORS
Authors: BİDZİNASHVİLİ Davit
Published: December 2021

We have heard several times recently the Government of Georgia declaring the” two-digit economical rise which is unprecented all over the world” (12,7% in six months) which has resulted in changing the depressive background and nihilistic thinking in the country. Surely, such progress must be reflected in the well-being of the population. But what to do with the increased inflation which is much more perceptible by population than “rushing” of Georgian economy? This growth of inflation is explained by our economists as the result of wrong economic policy. As for the promises given by the National Bank in the beginning of the year 2021, about controlling the inflation and reaching the aiming results at the end of the year, they remained only as pure promises.In order the growth of economy becomes perceptible for our population, it is necessary to lower the inflation rate to one digit, namely the best would be lower than 6% rate and if at the same time the two digital economic growth will be retained, this would be notable for the population of the country in 2022.Active participation of Georgia in international division of labor, larger and more stable positioning of Georgian products on the World's trade map are the results of successful realization of economical reforms and state programs of the business support in the country.

Mutual Integration of Information and Mathematical Training for Engineers in the Digitization Era
Authors:   Omsk State Pedagogicalt University, Dalinger Viktor A.
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the development of interdisciplinary integration on the example of the disciplines «Computer Science» and «Mathematics» in training future engineers in the digitization era. It is considered the trends and directions for development of engineering education at the world level, among which a special role is given to the CDIO approach for implementing interdisciplinary training of future engineering personnel on the base of student-centered learning. It is revealed that information and mathematical modeling is the system-forming factor in the integration of knowledge in Computer Science and Mathematics. It is proposed a classification of IMM on the basis of which it is possible to create integrated educational and practical tasks with interdisciplinary content. In the experimental part of the research methods of questionnaire, survey, experiment are involved. In order to realize mutual integration of information and mathematical training the authors developed the scheme of implementation of the models in independent work of students throughout the entire training at ecosystem of technical university. It is defined student-centered learning technology and it is formulated the methodological recommendations for its implementation of the processes of mutual integration of the disciplines in the process of its teaching to students of engineering specialties of universities
CLIL Integration Issues and Distance Learning Technologies
Authors:   Karaganda University Named After Academician E. A. Buketov, Zhetpisbayeva Bakhytgul A. , Dyakov Dmitry V. , Shunkeyeva Saule A. , Syzdykov Meirzhan
Published: December 2021

This article proposes an expert vision of the problems of applying CLIL training in the context of distance education in schools and universities of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The relevance of the study is due to the lack of scientific research devoted to the subject analysis of the integration of CLIL learning and distance learning technologies and related problems. Diagnostics of the existing problems was carried out through an online survey of school teachers and university professors who have experience in using CLIL technology in distance learning. For example, the results of the survey have made it possible to identify an expert opinion on the compatibility of the two teaching technologies, to formulate the main problems and differentiate them in terms of school and university practice. Moreover, the analysis has established relationship problems identified with the history of the modernization of secondary and higher education, and pandemic circumstances of 2020. This also explains different level of CLIL preparedness of school teachers and university professors for the independent development of electronic content, the search for a finished educational product, and the use of educational platforms. In this context, the need for CLIL modern teachers’ training programs and effective mechanisms for their academic support is indicated. Based on the survey results, it was concluded that CLIL distance learning is viable in school and university practice. The integration of the two technologies creates an effective tool to promote the empowerment of CLIL, the development of a virtual learning environment, andemergence of a distance format of students’academic mobility. These results can be significant as a basis for making tactical decisions on the development of the resource and methodological base of CLIL distance learning in the system of secondary and higher education
Promotion of Social Values Among Young People as a Pedagogical Ideology (a Case Study of Russia and Kazakhstan)
Authors:   Pavlodar Pedagogical University, Syrymbetova Lyailya S. , Muratova Laura M. ,   Karaganda University named after academician E. A. Buketov, Smolyaninova Olga G. ,   Siberian Federal Uniersity, Zhilbaev Zhanbol O. ,   Pavlodar Pedagogical University, Kulsharipova Zaru K.
Published: December 2021

The article deals with the promotion of national values among students in the context of pedagogical ideology. The authors are convinced that the understanding of ideology is not limited to politics and standards of sociality. In their view, ideology is broader than a means of legitimizing power claims or political expansion, it means having a core value. In the pedagogical context, ideology is a set of social and pedagogical values for building the desired society. In this context, the promotion of social values among students is a systematic set of tools for the realization of pedagogical goals and the formation of social ideals. In the era of globalization, social values are undergoing a significant rethinking. In this context, the problem of promoting universal and national values should be solved in their dialectical unity. In this regard, the authors of the given article have conducted a comparative study of the level of involvement in social values among representatives of universities in Russia and Kazakhstan. The authors have a little deeper outlined the features of the formation of social values in Kazakhstan, in which nowadays a system of social values has been set at the national level, which was set out in the program article of the First President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, «Looking to the future: modernization of public consciousness». This program, known as the «Rukhani Zhangyru» spiritual revival program, was launched in 2017. But so far, the values of the «Rukhani Zhangyru» program have not been given a pedagogical interpretation that would allow us to present a holistic conceptual picture of their promotion in the university environment. This is evidenced by a number of studies, including the study and analysis of various publications in the media (mass media, central and regional newspapers), a survey among teachers and students of a number of universities in Russia and Kazakhstan. The results of these studies, detailed in this article, allowed the authors to draw conclusions about the feasibility of developing a holistic concept for promoting the values of the «Rukhani Zhangyru» program in the university environment. Meeting the requirements of the pedagogical ideology, the proposed concept can be applied in any university in Russia and Kazakhstan with a certain degree of its adaptation to the specific conditions of each individual university
PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL RESPONSES OF CHICKPEA GENOTYPES TO DIFFERENT MOISTURE STRESS IN BANGLADESH
Authors: KARİM An Md. Anamul , SARKER Uttam Kumer , HASAN Ahmed Khairul , ISLAM Najrul , UDDİN Md. Romij
Published: December 2021

Moisture stress influence seed germination, growth including physiological, biochemical attributes and yield of chickpea. Genotypes may vary in their capacity to tolerate moisture stress. Therefore, the study was undertaken to evaluate physiological and biochemical responses of selected chickpea genotypes in the drought prone ecosystems. The experiment was carried out at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur Bangladesh during 2017 and 2018. The experiment was laid out in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with four chickpea genotypes and eleven moisture regimes. Relative water content and carotenoids content significantly decreased when stress imposed until pod formation stage. Moisture stress imposed during pre-flowering stage significantly decreased chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b content. Proline accumulation was higher in BD-6048compared to other genotypes under all moisture stress conditions. Phosphorus, potassium and protein content were lower under moisture stress until pod formation stage. Under moisture stress conditions the genotypes BD-6048 gave the highest yield compared to other genotypes. Moisture stress until pre flowering and pod formation stage reduced seed yield more severe than that on flowering stage.
‘Selfies’ Under Quarantine: Exploring Networked Emotions in the Time of ‘Social Distancing’
Authors: Della Ratta Donatella
Published: December 2021

This essay focuses on auto-ethnography and auto-fiction as USEFUL tools to reflect on the ways in which networked identities are reshaped and reconfigured within the context of a global pandemic where social relationships, family life, work routines, and learning processes are increasingly migrating to the online domain. The piece builds upon the experience of an undergraduate class who collectively contributed to the blog series ‘Selfies Under Quarantine’ during the first severe lockdown in March 2020. It discusses the question of methods and suggests looking at the ‘draft’ as both an aesthetics and an ethics to navigate the current context of crisis.
Un/thinking with Thread/s: Needling Through Boundaries Related to COVID-19 and Medical Training
Authors: Mitchell Veronica
Published: December 2021

This article draws on my connection with sewing threads, and explores how the 2020 Massive Microscopic Sensemaking (MMS) online challenge contributed to an emergent entanglement of timespacemattering related to COVID-19, teaching and researching medical learning in obstetrics, and thinking further with my PhD. It explores affirmative processes enacted during times of anxiety, when my thoughts needled through in-between spaces with different times and materials that were generative and productive. I explain my rhizomatic movements that bleed through conventional separations and boundary-making assumptions. I draw on Karen Barad’s agential realism to theorize the emergence of creative relationalities with artful artifacts enacted with medical undergraduate students, with participants in the MMS project, and with my own PhD during times of tension.
Listening to and Living With Networked Media During a Pandemic
Authors: Soronen Anne , Talvitie-Lamberg Karoliina
Published: December 2021

This article explores mediated listening from the perspective of intimacy during the first weeks of the coronavirus pandemic. The theoretical frame builds on the literature on listening and presence in mediated environments, audience engagement, and intimacy as meaningful connections. Methodologically, the study is connective ethnography, and the data was collected by collaborative autoethnography. Our data show that listening was an individual sensemaking strategy of the outside world and a means to form connectedness. Threading between different screens on digital platforms caused the collapse of public and private contexts, and through these, particular types of intimacy arose. When the position of academic mothers is often that of a ‘knower,’ the severe crisis compels them to look for receptive ways of knowing, such as careful listening of others. Listening is a means to form belonging and understanding, but from a silent position. We should pay more attention to the silent presences and audiences in contemporary mediated environments.
Skipping on the Grains of Multiverses Towards a Portal: World-Building Experience
Authors: Golovátina-Mora Polina
Published: December 2021

This essay is a fictional autoethnographic sensemaking of the experience during the long lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The sensemaking mainly draws on the thought of Deleuze and Guattari and Karen Barad, with a methodology inspired by Donna Haraway’s conceptualisation of speculative fabulation. The experience is defined as multispecies migration in the multiverse. The essay is an exploration of relations between different forms of memories and associations that they produce in their interaction under the conditions of the current pandemic, as well as between the agencies involved and created in these relations. This includes childhood memories, immediate memories, readings, conversations, imaginative work, dreams, and cinematic images that form the worldview of the author. The essay experiments with the forms of exploration and its presentation to emphasize the intra-action between the content and the form of writing. The author aims to contest the linear idea of research and writing and expand the acceptable referential framework.
Walking, Staying In, and Making Sense: Quilting with Pandemic Matter
Authors: Peterken Corinna
Published: December 2021

This making and making sense are in relation with pandemic matter and a quilt. Matter on hand: fabric, embroidery thread, and appliqué map and speak, sowing sense. The nine blocks sewn and joined together hold their sense making as individual and collective. The conversation from and through making a quilt with pandemic matter emerges from, and plays with, text and image. I align matter and stitching through to hold and turn process into product as I continue making and making sense for knowing about who we are and how to live with each other and the world.
Rendering Self and Microagressions Visible Through the Shadow Image
Authors: Snepvangers Kim
Published: December 2021

This project, starting with Prompt 2 from the Massive Micro Sensemaking (MMS) led by Annette Markham and Anne Harris in May through June 2020, assisted me to move through the anxiety of COVID-19 lockdown. I set up four visual renderings—a series of photographs that, through a process of unfolding, make links to broader issues in my archival research in the context of settler colonial Sydney, Australia. Exploring lived experience through photography anticipates a creative a/r/tographic lens, focusing on rendering objects so that they take on a more-than-representational aspect, touching the materiality of objects as data. Adaptively layering the renderings moves beyond one dimensionality as a strict capturing of an observed phenomena. Here, an initial photograph has a latent, additional layer of shadow to build volume and re-cast semblances of the representational world through reflection.

Comparación de competencias parentales en padres y en madres con hijos e hijas adolescentes
Authors: Martínez González Raquel Amaya , Rodríguez-Ruiz Beatriz , Iglesias García María Teresa
Published: December 2021

El rol parental con adolescentes requiere de los progenitores competencias personales emocionales y sociales. Hay pocos estudios de género que analicen estas competencias en el padre y en la madre en la misma unidad familiar. El objetivo de este estudio es identificar si estas competencias difieren en ambos progenitores, y si varían también en función de su nivel de estudios y de la fase inicial o tardía de la adolescencia. Han participado 752 madres y 670 padres. Se aplicó la Escala de Competencias Parentales Emocionales y Sociales para progenitores de Adolescentes (ECOPES-A), analizando cuatro factores: Control-Relajación, Autoestima, Imposición y Comunicación. A través de t de Student y Análisis de Varianza los resultados indican mayor competencia comunicativa en las madres que en los padres para relacionarse con sus adolescentes, y para fomentar su autoestima; las madres, sin embargo, se autoevalúan con menor habilidad que los padres en autocontrol emocional. Las competencias parentales son más altas cuando el nivel educativo de ambos también lo es, salvo en autoestima. Ambos progenitores tienden a ser más impositivos con sus adolescentes más jóvenes. Entre las implicaciones del estudio se destaca reforzar la gestión emocional de los progenitores a través de programas de parentalidad positiva.
Feeling the emotions, finding the resources: a pathway toward balanced parenting?
Authors: Pepe Alessandro , Biffi Elisabetta , Farina Eleonora
Published: December 2021

The pandemic made childcare a major challenge for parents globally, both in the short and longer term. In this context, it is plausible that emotions and general distress experienced by parents have had an impact at multiple levels in their relationships with their children, potentially increasing their vulnerability. The present study focuses on the analysis of the prevailing emotions of Italian parents during the first lockdown, investigating possible associations with personal perceptions of well-being and readiness to cope with the emergency situation. 319 parents (93% mothers) answered to a semi-structured computer assisted web interview (CAWI; Kurniawan, 2018). The answers showed that parents went through intense emotions, both negative, like worry and anxiety (39.2% named only negative emotions and 32% negative emotions as prevalent) and positive emotional, like hope, serenity and joy (7.8% indicated only positive emotions and 9.5% positive emotions as prevalent). Parents’ perceived positive emotions have proved to be important resources linked to a higher level of personal well-being and the perception of being adequately equipped to deal with an emergency. Emotion management emerged as a key area affecting parents’ way of relating with their children during the strict lockdown: parents declared their need to be supported in building a positive emotional relationship with their children in a stressing situation, highlighting a difficulty in cope with and communicate their own emotionality.
Exclusiones y discriminaciones hacia las identidades trans en educación afectivo-sexual
Authors: Granero Andújar Alejandro
Published: December 2021

Este trabajo pretende conocer en profundidad la presencia y el tratamiento que reciben las identidades trans en prácticas de educación afectivo-sexual. Como eje de indagación, se tomaron los talleres implementados en el marco del Programa Forma Joven en dos Institutos de Educación Secundaria de la ciudad de Almería. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo una investigación de corte cualitativo, tomando el estudio de caso múltiple como estrategia de investigación. Como instrumentos de recogida de datos fueron empleados la entrevista semiestructurada en profundidad, la observación no participante y el análisis de documentos. Los resultados muestran el silenciamiento y el tratamiento superficial de este colectivo, unido a la transmisión de concepciones excluyentes y valores discriminatorios, tales como el ciscentrismo, el binarismo de género y la monosexualidad. Se concluye que dichas prácticas contribuyen a la reproducción y legitimación de una visión estigmatizada de las identidades trans que conlleva a que estas sean percibidas como anormales, excepcionales y tabú por no encontrarse en la cotidianeidad académica, así como por los mensajes excluyentes transmitidos.

Hedef av için CPUE değeri 31.45 kg operasyon–1, hedef dışı av için 10.11 kg operasyon–1 ve ıskarta av için 2.39 kg operasyon–1 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Hedef av için saatlik CPUE değeri 8.19 kg saat–1 olarak hesaplanırken, hedef dışı av için 2.63 kg saat-1 ve ıskarta av için 0.62 kg saat–1 olarak belirlenmiştir.
Pathogenicity of Different Rhizobium radiobacter (Agrobacterium tumefaciens) Isolates and Their Identification with Conventional Methods
Authors: TEKİNER Nasibe , KOTAN Recep
Published: December 2021

Rhizobium radiobacter is a significant causal agent that ranks among the top ten bacteria of molecular plant pathology in the world, has the largest range of hosts among plant pathogenic bacteria, and limits production and leads to economic losses in agriculture. The distinctive feature of the causal agent from other bacteria is the Ti plasmid, the extrachromosomal structure present in all virulent types. In this study, virulence of five R. radiobacter isolates (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and RK 473) isolated from different rootstocks was tested in carrot slices, squash fruits, kalanchoe leaves, tomato and sunflower seedlings, and GF677, M9 and MM106 rootstocks, and hypersensitive response tests were conducted in tobacco plant. The isolates were diagnosed with biochemical and physiological tests by classical methods. All isolates formed tumors in carrot slices and squash fruits. 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B isolates formed tumors in the stem of GF677 peach rootstock, while it did not form any tumors on the stems of M9 and MM106 rootstocks. Tumor formation was observed in 1B isolate in the root application of GF677 peach rootstock, while no tumor formation was observed in other isolates. RK 473 isolate became pathogenic in M9 and MM106 apple rootstocks, while it was observed that the other isolates did not form any tumors. It was seen that none of the isolates became pathogenic in tomato and sunflower root and stem, and kalanchoe leaf applications. According to the virulence test results, 1B isolate was found out to be the most virulent isolate. Biochemical and physiological tests revealed the differences between isolates.
Biological Activities of the Methanol Extracts of Smyrnium connatum Boiss. and Kotschy.
Authors: AYAZ Fatma , ERUYGUR Nuraniye , DOĞRU Tuğsen , BAĞCI Yavuz , DOĞU Süleyman
Published: December 2021

Smyrnium connatum Boiss. and Kotschy is known as “yabani kereviz” in Turkey and its roots are used to treat asthma. Smyrnium species are used by people in different regions as diuretic, depurative and laxative. The aim of this analysis was to test the biological activities of methanol extracts obtained from aerial parts and roots of S. connatum using a Soxhlet extractor, ultrasonic assisted extraction, and maceration procedures. The extracts of S. connatum aerial parts and roots were tested for their acetylcholinesterase, butrylcholinesterase, and tyrosinase inhibitory activities, radical scavenging activity, and iron chelating activities at various concentration using microplate reader. In this study, significant differences were found in acetylcholinesterase, and butrylcholinesterase inhibition and antioxidant determinations between plant extracts prepared using different extraction methods. S. connatum aerial parts generally was detected to be more active in terms of antioxidant activity assay. S. connatum aerial parts and roots showed high inhibition activity against both cholinesterase enzymes. All extracts showed moderate inhibitory activity against tyrosinase. The biological activity of the aerial parts of S. connatum was generally found to be more active than roots of S. connatum. It was assumed that the determination of enzyme inhibitor and antioxidant capacity of the plant had remarkable potentials on the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
¿Es posible garantizar la libertad sexual sin la reforma penal? En defensa de una ley menos «integral»
Authors: Ramírez Ortiz José Luis
Published: December 2021

Este trabajo considera innecesaria una reforma estructural de los delitos sexuales desde la perspectiva de género, salvo alguna corrección puntual, entendiendo que la vigente se ajusta al Convenio de Estambul y tiene como eje vertebrador el consentimiento sexual. El artículo llama la atención sobre los riesgos de la legislación integral, que parece convertir la reforma penal en condición indispensable de la articulación de políticas sociales y preventivas, aun cuando tal reforma pudiera no ser necesaria o no serlo en la extensión o dirección propuestos. Concluye que la propuesta no resuelve los problemas de desprotección y revictimización a los que pretende dar solución, pues estos son de orden procesal y probatorio y deberían ser objeto de abordaje específico, y que, por el contrario, supone nuevamente un endurecimiento, aun leve, de un derecho penal sexual sobredimensionado.
İkna Bilgi Modeli Bağlamında Üstbilişin Reklamdan Kaçınma Üzerindeki Etkisi
Authors: TÜRKELİ Öykü , TOSUN Nurhan Zeynep
Published: December 2021

İkna Bilgi Modeli’ne göre reklam gibi ikna edici araçlara yönelik, tüketiciler zamanla bilgi toplamaktadır. Tüketici tarafından toplanan bu bilgiler tüketicinin ikna edici mesajlara yönelik olan düşüncelerinin yanı sıra, tüketicinin zihninde kendi ikna edilme durumları hakkındaki düşünceleri de kapsamaktadır. Kişinin ikna girişimlerinin yanı sıra kendi ikna durumları hakkındaki düşüncelerini ifade eden ikna bilgisi kavramı, literatürde üstbiliş olarak adlandırılmaktadır. İkna bilgisinin, üstbilişsel olarak kullanımının sonucunda kişiler ikna edici araçlara yakınlaştıkları gibi bu araçlardan kaçınma eğiliminde de bulunabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın problemi kişilerin ikna bilgisi kullanımları doğrultusunda üstbilişin internet reklamlarından kaçınmaları üzerindeki düzenleme etkisini bulmaktır. Çalışmanın amacı, üstbiliş fonksiyonlarından biri olan üstbilişsel düzenlemenin, ikna bilgi modeli doğrultusunda internet reklamlarından kaçınma üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir.

The Role of Using CAMELS Model in Analyzing the Factors Affecting the Performance of The Jordanian Commercial Banks (2014-2019)
Authors: Amer Senan
Published: December 2021

In this study, the factors affecting the performance of Jordanian commercial banks have been analyzed using theelements of the CAMELS model, along with identifying the most important factors. The study targeted the impact oftwenty Jordanian commercial banks on performance-; these banks were listed on the Amman Stock Exchange duringthe period of 2014-2019. The researcher used the Data Pooled Regression Method, due to its relevance to the nature ofthe data used in the study, where this method is used in the case of a time series and cross-sectorial data. The Rate ofReturn on Assets and the Rate of Return on Equity were used as the two variables on which the banks’ performance wasmeasured. However, the independent variables included the CAMELS model elements which are capital adequacy,asset quality, management efficiency, earnings, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risks, in addition to macroeconomicvariables, which include the rate of economic growth and the rate of inflation. The study concluded that capitaladequacy, asset quality, management efficiency, and earnings are among the most important and most influentialfactors with regards to the Jordanian commercial banks, which - are is represented by the Rate of Return on Assets andthe Rate of Return on Equity. Moreover, the study also concluded that it is possible to derive a miniature model fromthe CAMELS model called the CAME model, which has a great ability to explain and measure the performance ofcommercial banks in Jordan. Finally, the study recommended the Central Bank of Jordan to use the CAMELS model toevaluate Jordanian commercial banks.
Trade impacts of the New Silk Road in Africa: Insight from Neural Networks Analysis
Authors: Dumor Koffi , Gbongli Komlan
Published: December 2021

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is aimed to strengthen the preferential reciprocal trade between China and the Belt-Road nations. Quantitative evaluations of BRI to determine whether it can explicitly provide more insight into China’s bilateral trade among its partners are needed. Hence, improving prediction accuracy while using more superior algorithms for sustainable decision-making remains essential since decision-makers have been interested in predicting the future. Machine learning algorithms, such as supervised artificial neural networks (ANN), outperform several econometric procedures in predictions; therefore, they are potentially powerful techniques to evaluate BRI. This study uses detailed China’s bilateral export data from 1990 to 2017 to analyze and evaluate the impact of BRI on bilateral trade using gravity model estimations and ANN analysis techniques. The finding suggests that China’s bilateral export flow among the BRI countries results in a slight increase in inter-regional trade. The study provides a comparison view on the different estimation procedures of the gravity model – ordinary least squares (OLS) and Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood (PPML) with the ANN. The ANN associated with fixed country effects reveals a more accurate estimation compared to a baseline model and with country-year fixed effects. Contrarily, the OLS estimator and PPML showed mixed results. Grounded on the study dataset, the ANN estimation of the gravity equation was superior over the other procedures to explain the variability of the dependent variable (export) regarding the prediction accuracy using root mean squared error (RMSE) and R-square.
A Critical Review of the Characteristics of Presumptive Tax Systems in Developing Countries
Authors: Duve Munyaradzi , Schutte Daniel P.
Published: December 2021

This paper considers the effect of the presumptive tax system characteristics on the tax compliance behaviour of small businesses in developing countries. Since the concept of presumptive taxation involves several features influencing the formalisation of small businesses, this paper seeks to survey three key areas of literature: targeted taxpayers, thresholds and timeframe. This paper differs fundamentally from previous studies in that it analyses presumptive taxsystem characteristics. A descriptive review approach was followed in evaluating the empirical literature on presumptive tax system characteristics. A content analysis was then performed on literature about categories and subcategories provided in the classification framework. The review highlights similarities and conflicting evidence of presumptive tax system characteristics in transforming the compliance behaviour of small businesses. It was concludedthat the blended use of information technology and existing presumptive tax systems can facilitate the movement of small businesses from the informal to the formal sector.

The article analyzes the regional specific features of counteracting the negative influence of the representatives of criminal environment on young people. The research subject is the regional specifics of the development and genesis of criminal subculture, and the measures taken in the prevention of destructive phenomena in the adolescent environ-ment. We have used a dialectical approach to the study of social phenomena, which makes it possible to analyze them in their historical development, as well as comparative law, special criminological, documentary, sociological and other research methods within the framework of this approach. As part of study, we have analyzed the conclusions and pro-posals of scientists and researchers in related fields on similar issues, including the phe-nomenon of youth gang, which took place in Ulan-Ude (1960s — late 1980s).
¿Dónde está Dios? 30 poetas responden
Authors: Barnés Antonio
Published: December 2021

En este artículo hemos planteado esta cuestión a 30 poetas contemporáneos, hispánicos la mayoría. El poeta habla desde el alma, por lo que es más fácil que diga verdad. Escribir desde el corazón y con metáforas no significa dar rodeos: poetizar es camino de superación de las limitaciones de la lengua, pues el sentido literal es insuficiente para acercarse al misterio.
El edén en Rayuela
Authors:   Universidad Camilo José Cela, Batres Izara
Published: December 2021

Para comprender adecuadamente la profundidad de la búsqueda a la que Cortázar nos impele en Rayuela (1963), es preciso comprender primero que esta tiene su origen en el giro que el escritor realiza desde el plano estético al ontológico, visible en El perseguidor (1959); de hecho, en esta obra, Cortázar establece, a través de los signos intertextuales, un paralelismo con el libro del Apocalipsis.
Czy w kan. 94 §§ 1-3 KPK ujęto kanoniczną integralną koncepcję statutów?
Authors: Dzierżoń Ginter
Published: December 2021

W niniejszym opracowaniu autor na kanwie kan. 94 §§ 1-3 podjął namysł nas kanoniczną koncepcją statutów. Dowiódł, że definicja statutów w sensie ścisłym ujęta w kan. 94 § 1 jest nieadekwatna do wszystkich form tego typu aktów funkcjonujących w kanonicznym porządku prawnym. Badając takie zagadnienia, jak problem autonomii statutów, ich natura, a także trudności systematyzacyjne, wskazał, że poruszane problemy mają charakter złożony i wielowymiarowy. Dlatego też, jego zdaniem, nie da się wyrazić kanonicznej koncepcji statutów w formie definicji legalnej. Argumentując wykazał, że obok statutów w sensie właściwym nie wyklucza się także stanowienia statutów w sensie niewłaściwym ze względu na szerokie spektrum stowarzyszeń funkcjonujących w Kościele.

W swych rozważaniach wziął też pod uwagę specyficzny charakter Księgi „Normy ogólne”, wyrażający się w tym, że normy w nim zawarte charakteryzuje generalność. Zgodnie z celem tejże Księgi winny znaleźć aplikację w wykładni innych regulacjach kodeksowych oraz pozakodeksowych. W jego opinii w dwóch paragrafach jednego kanonu nie da się ująć złożoności kanonicznej koncepcji statutów, aczkolwiek są one użyteczne w stosowaniu prawa.
Everyday Lives in Peripheral Spaces: A Case of Bengal Borderlands
Authors: Bhaumik Sampurna
Published: December 2021

This article (part of a special section on South Asian border studies) is an ethnographic study of the daily lives and narratives of borderlands communities in the border districts of Cooch Behar and South Dinajpur along the West-Bengal–Bangladesh border. In order to emphasise the significance of borderland communities’ narratives and experiences to our understanding of borders, this paper explores the idea of borders as social spaces that are inherently dynamic. In attempting to understand the idea of borders through everyday lives of people living in borderland communities, this paper highlights tensions and contradictions between hard borders manifested through securitization practices, and the inherently dynamic social spaces that manifest themselves in people’s daily lives. Conceptually and thematically, this paper is situated within and seeks to contribute to the discipline of borderland studies.

Published: December 2021

The need to increase arable crop production to keep pace with food demands for a growing population without degrading ecosystems can only be achieved through adoption of agroforestry. Agroforestry practices help to achieve food security, biodiversity, conservation and land sustainability. The 94 famers were chosen using a multistage sampling process. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Most (74%) of respondents practiced home gardening. The significant benefits derived from agroforestry were; food/fruits (97%) and soil improvement/conservation (88%). The mean adoption index was 0.27. The log-likelihood obtained from Tobit was 67.92 indicating that the independent variables significantly explained the variation in the farmer’s adoption decision. Educational level (β=0.426) and farm experience (β=0.597) were both positive and statistically significant at ρ˂0.05; farm income (β=0.568) was significant at ρ˂0.01, and extension contact (β=-0.887, ρ˂0.01) was negative and had a negative impact on agroforestry adoption. The constraints affecting the practice of agroforestry among arable farmers were; poor policies, inadequate extension services, insufficient improved tree species among others. The study recommends intensification of extension services and provision of incentives to farmers to promote agroforestry adoption to achieve increased food production and sustainable land-use systems.

Tiger nut milk (TNM) shows limited colloidal stability, which affects consumer acceptability in many parts of the world where tiger nut is cultivated. In this study, addition of proteins and hydrocolloids was used for improving the stability, and the impact on physical properties and consumer acceptance is reported. Enriching TNM by 3 g/100 g sodium caseinate and 0.1 g/100 g xanthan gum successfully impeded creaming and serum formation and resulted in a decrease of the instability index from 0.408 ± 0.023 to 0.015 ± 0.00 after applying forced sedimentation at 3000 x g for 2 h. After TNM enrichment, the viscosity of TNM increased from 3.0 ± 0.10 mPa.s to 285 ± 18 mPa.s which remained stable at elevated storage temperature. Flash profiling of TNM resulted in emerging descriptors namely sweet, sediment, watery, raw. Hedonic assessment by 82 consumers showed that plain TNM had the lowest rating concerning particular sensory attributes and acceptance. Enrichment resulted in more viscous, sweet and thick TNM products, leading to higher consumer ratings of attributes and acceptability. Thus, enriching TNM by sodium caseinates and xanthan gum is promising for improving the dispersion stability and consumer acceptance.
