Implementation of International Sustainable Financing Practices into the National Debt System. Can Infrastructure Loans Become Responsible?
Authors:   Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Moscow 125993, Russian Federation, Rezvanov Rinat I.
Published: November 2021

The article examines the debt instruments of responsible financing, presented in world practice mainly in the form of green bonds, following the common principles of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA). A brief description of each bond issue model is provided: green bonds, social bonds, sustainability bonds, sustainability-linked bonds, and climate transition bonds. For each of the models for issuing responsible bonds, issuing companies are given as examples, with a brief description of the corresponding target parameters. The article focuses on the special measures of federal monetary support to Russian regions introduced in 2021. Based on the adopted comparative typological research method, these measures are analyzed from the standpoint of correlation with the established principles of sustainable financing and accepted widespread (general) international practice. Moreover, attention is paid both to interbudgetaryfinancial instruments presented in the form of infrastructure loans and new infrastructure projects for the purposes of regional economic development, and to the forthcoming issue of infrastructure bonds by Russian financial development institutions (in particular, Dom.RF). It is emphasized that the states themselves, and not only the corporate sector, are becoming active participants in the markets for sustainable financing, realizing the goals of long-term infrastructure development and the implementation of regional economic policies combined with a sectoral approach based on the principles of green economy (exemplified by Germany). A conclusion is made about the possibility of implementing new federal instruments of regional economic support in the system of target principles of sustainable development (ESG criteria). To achieve such a result, a qualitatively deep structuring of the proposed Russian financial instruments for infrastructure development will be required. Above all, this relates to the inclusion in the responsible debt policy instrument methodology of such four core components of the ICMA’s green bond principles (GBP) as the Use of Proceeds (1), Process for Project Evaluation and Selection (2), Management of Proceeds (3), and Reporting (4).

Authors:   HSE University, Moscow 101000, Russian Federation, Bushukina Victoria I.
Published: November 2021

The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical and practical aspects of investment activities in the field of renewable energy in the world and in Russia. To achieve this goal, during the development of theoretical material, a systematic analysis of existing approaches to the assessment of financing mechanisms for renewable energy projects was carried out. Statistical and econometric research tools include correlation analysis and multivariate regression analysis. The article examines the development of renewable energy, its benefits, and investments in the industry. The financial risks and barriers associated with financing renewable energy projects are considered. The development of the industry over the past 10 years is analyzed, taking into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the electricity industry in general and on renewable energy in a number of countries. It is established that the world is shifting to the use of renewable energy sources, and in Russia they are not being given due attention. It is revealed that the existing thermal generation units in Russia are of great age and are to be decommissioned in the near future. The current state of renewable energy in Russia, measures to support it and the rate of its development are investigated. The technical potential of wind and solar power plants in the Russian Federation is considered within the aim of diversifying electricity production. The factors that negatively affect the development of the renewable energy industry are identified.
Folklore and the Climate Crisis: Reading Beara as an Anthropocene Patch with Máiréad Ní Mhíonacháin
Authors: Bateson Callum
Published: November 2021

Though the term ‘Anthropocene’ has become dominant in discourses surrounding the climate emergency, its globalising tendencies risk discouraging grassroots action. This article argues, therefore, that in order to better understand the climate crisis, a more local approach is needed. Folklore is suggested as one such way the specific impacts of the Anthropocene can be read. To investigate, this article analyses the folklore of Máiréad Ní Mhíonacháin as a ‘Capitalocene  Patch’, combining Anna Tsing’s ‘Patchy Anthropocene’ and Jason Moore’s ‘Capitalocene’ theories. In particular, this article looks at how Ní Mhíonacháin’s folklore records human and non-human produced landscapes, and asks how piseoga (superstitions) might produce healthier relations with the environment.

The moderators were Anetta F. Bagaeva, Natalia A. Lunkova, Evgeniia V. Shatko, and Denis G. Viren. The reports presented and their subsequent discussions are evidence of the lively interest of the scholar audience in the stated problems. Both the audience and the organisers expressed the hope that regardless of the online and in-person format of the conference, high-quality, international-level research on the literature and art of Slavic countries will continue.
Levels and trends in sex ratio at birth in provinces of Pakistan from 1980 to 2020 with scenario-based missing female birth projections to 2050: a Bayesian modeling approach
Authors: Chao Fengqing , Wazir Muhammad Asif , Ombao Hernando
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: Pakistan has a strong preference for boys over girls; previous evidence on sex preference is primarily reported at the postnatal stage in which the child mortality rate is higher for females than males. Prenatal sex discrimination in Pakistan, reflected in the inflated sex ratio at birth (SRB; ratio of male to female births) has been barely mentioned before this study.OBJECTIVE: We estimate the SRB and missing female births in Pakistan provinces from 1980 to 2020 and identify provinces with imbalanced SRB. We provide scenario-based projections of missing female births in provinces without the existing SRB inflation.METHODS: An extensive SRB database of 832,091 birth records was compiled from all available surveys and censuses. To synthesize different data sources and provide annual estimates and their associated uncertainties of SRBs across provinces, we adopted a Bayesian hierarchical time series model.RESULTS: As per our model, Balochistan has had SRB imbalance since 1980. The maximum SRB was estimated as 1.121 (95% credible interval [1.066; 1.142]) in 1997. Assuming different start year of SRB inflation process in provinces without existing imbalance, the largest female birth deficit is projected to be 76.2 thousand in Punjab in 2033 when the SRB inflation starts in 2021.CONTRIBUTION: This is the first study on estimating the SRB from 1980 to 2020 and providing scenario-based projections of missing female births up to 2050 by Pakistan province. We identified the Balochistan province with imbalanced SRB and demonstrated important disparities in the occurrence and quantity of female birth deficits before 2050.
Introduction: Cognitive Archaeology at the Crossroads

Published: November 2021

We look back at the field of cognitive archaeology by discussing the moment of insight that inspired one of its pioneers, Thomas Wynn, to apply Piagetian developmental theory to the question of human cognitive evolution as understood through geometric relations in stone tools. We also review the work of other pioneers in the field, including Colin Renfrew and John Gowlett. We briefly describe the articles contained in the volume. Lastly, we look forward at where the field of cognitive archaeology may be headed.
Constructing Chinese Queer Online Community through Social Media: an Actor-Network Theory-Based Discussion
Authors: Chen Fei , Zhang Yuezhou
Published: November 2021

Nowadays, social media plays an essential role in people’s life. Compared with heterosexual individuals, social media is more important for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals due to its advantages of anonymity and convenience. Among LGBT individuals, Chinese Lesbians are under greater social pressure due to the influence of traditional Chinese socio-cultural value systems. Building online lesbian communities through social media is one of solutions for helping Chinese lesbians to reduce their stress and protect their rights. However, lesbian social apps have developed notably slowly in a global context. There have been few studies on lesbian apps in the past. The value and utility of lesbian social apps in building an online lesbian community have not been fully explored. This article used "the L-app" (a Chinese lesbian application) as an example and utilized Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to study the values and challenges of the lesbian social app in the establishment of an online community. According to the four foundational stages (problematization, interessement, enrolment, and mobilization) of network construction in ANT, this study discussed the feasibility, values, and challenges of lesbian social apps in building an online lesbian community. Furthermore, this article proposed corresponding potential solutions to these challenges based on ANT. This paper provided support for Chinese Lesbian community constructions in the future.

C-Reactive Protein With Procalcitonin as a Marker of Occult Bacterial Infection in Fever Without a Focus
Authors: Hiremath Pooja M , D Narayanappa , H S Rajani
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Fever without a focus constitutes a major problem in children in the age group of three months to 36 months. Majority have viral infections but around 1.6 - 2% can have occult serious bacterial infection which needs early identification and treatment. The study was done to evaluate combination of CRP with Procalcitonin (PCT) as a marker of SBI in children (Three months - 36 months) with fever without focus in comparison with only PCT or CRP done separately.
Methods: In this hospital based explorative study, 31 children between three months to 36 months of age with fever without any localising signs were enrolled. Relevant investigations were done to diagnose or rule out serious bacterial infection. Cut off of > 10 mg/dl for CRP and > 0.5 ng/ml for PCT was considered. Appropriate statistical analysis was done.
Results: Among 31 recruited cases, 14 had occult serious bacterial infection with urinary tract infection being the most common cause. The combination PCT with CRP had sensitivity of 78.5%, specificity of 100%, and positive predictive value of 100% and negative predictive value of 85%. Diagnostic accuracy was 90.32% which did not have any statistically significant difference compared to PCT alone but significant compared to CRP alone.
Conclusions: Combining CRP with procalcitonin did not have any added advantage over procalcitonin alone but combination of CRP and PCT and PCT alone is useful in detecting occult serious bacterial infections in children with fever without focus compared to CRP alone.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Helping Babies Breathe and Helping Babies Survive (HBS) programs are designed to develop basic neonatal resuscitation skills and knowledge aimed at the first minutes after birth. The programs were implemented at Scheer Memorial Adventist Hospital in Banepa, Kavre, Nepal. This study aimed to evaluate the success of training participants and maintaining their skills over time.
Methods: The programs were implemented at SMAH over three years for staff and students involved in maternal / foetal medicine. Skills and knowledge of 119 participants were evaluated prior to training, after training, and again at five separate time intervals using standardised tests. 
Results: The training resulted in increased scores on knowledge testing from pre-test to post-test. Knowledge retention over time was shown to have a statistically significant decrease from post-test to retest. An objective structured clinical examination A performance did not show statistically significant decrease over time from post-test to retest.  For the objective structured clinical examination B, there was a statistically significant decrease in scores over time from post-test to retest.
Conclusions: The training resulted in a significant improvement in passing scores on knowledge and skills testing. While a statistically significant decrease in scores on testing was seen, the clinical significance of these decreases is questionable. This study shows that with implementation and continued practice, both knowledge and skills for basic neonatal resuscitation can be achieved and maintained.

El reconocimiento de las formas documentales en las bÃºsquedas de informaciÃ³n de calidad: una apuesta por la educaciÃ³n en la â€œdocudiversidadâ€
Authors: Urbano CristÃ³bal , GascÃ³n-GarcÃ­a JesÃºs
Published: November 2021

Los usuarios de sistemas de informaciÃ³n no discriminan la forma y funciÃ³n de los recursos de informaciÃ³n y las ignoran en sus bÃºsquedas. Los usuarios utilizan buscadores web genÃ©ricos: siempre obtienen resultados y no plantean su calidad, procedencia ni si su forma es adecuada a los objetivos. En muchas fuentes de informaciÃ³n tampoco aparece la forma o gÃ©nero como argumento de bÃºsqueda o de filtrado. El reconocimiento del gÃ©nero/forma es Ãºtil en la bÃºsqueda, pues implica expectativas del tipo de informaciÃ³n que se quiere obtener. Los tipos documentales, especialmente en internet, han cambiado y sus denominaciones y definiciones no se han consolidado. Hay que fijar la terminologÃ­a en los vocabularios documentales y en la web semÃ¡ntica. La sustituciÃ³n de catÃ¡logos y bases de datos por herramientas de descubrimiento contribuye a la disoluciÃ³n del concepto de gÃ©nero/forma: la bÃºsqueda por materias no es uniforme y el usuario no percibe la diferencia de formas/gÃ©neros obtenidos, mezclÃ¡ndose resultados de muy diversos tipos. Es necesario mejorar los sistemas de representaciÃ³n y recuperaciÃ³n de informaciÃ³n, incorporando la forma documental como elemento de bÃºsqueda, pero tambiÃ©n se requiere una alfabetizaciÃ³n informacional (especialmente en los futuros documentalistas) que ponga en valor estas formas.

Authors: Dukic Goran , Opetuk Tihomir , Gajšek Brigita , Lerher Tone
Published: November 2021

In this paper quantitative comparison of resulting throughputs for single-tray and dual-tray VLM devices is presented. Comparison is based on mathematical models for throughput approximating dual command times of VLM’s crane, for selected parameters of VLM device (height and crane’s velocity) and selected picking times per delivered tray. Analysis showed that throughput increase achieved by using dual-tray VLM’s depends mostly on the average picking time relative to the expected dual command time of the VLM’s crane. Highest improvements are possible for picking time equal to expected dual command time and amounts over 80%, however for extremely low or high picking times improvements are significantly reduced.

China and India In africa in post-COVID-19 era
Authors: Deych Tatiana L.
Published: November 2021

The article examines the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Africa and the involvement of China and India in the fight against COVID-19 and its negative consequences for Africans health and the African economy.
The authors analyze various aspects of China’s and India’s interaction with African countries and estimate pros and cons of Chinese - African and Indian - African cooperation and their results for African countries. Cooperation with the two growing Asian countries - China and India - played an important role in economic growth of Africa in 2000s. The COVID-19 pandemic has damaged not only the health of the African population, but also the African economy.
The deterioration of the economic situation in African countries has resulted in a sharp increase in impoverishment for the population. In 2020 Africa has lost its modest achievements in reducing extreme poverty which it could succeed before. In context of the current pneumonia crisis on the continent international assistance is becoming increasingly relevant for Africa. The most important element of this assistance is the time-tested cooperation with China and India. However, despite the real achievements of China and India and the promises made by the leaders of both countries, the coronavirus pandemic has clearly identified problems in the relations of African countries, both with China and with India.
 These problems are the result of objective and subjective factors, as well as the legacy of accumulated problems over the years, which the pandemic has further exacerbated. Africans welcome economic cooperation with Asian powers. However, India's increasing willingness to engage with Western countries on an anti-Chinese basis increases the risks of using it in Africa, to confront Beijing.

The research article is focused on the peculiarities of the ethnocultural identity of the Newars.This is one of the many Nepalese peoples that is practically not studied in Russian oriental studies.Newars are considered the descendants of the ancient population of the Kathmandu valley,but it is not known for certain whether their ancestors were indigenous here or came to the valley from other places. 
Currently, the number of Newars is about 1.5 million people, this is the 6th population of the people of Nepal. They live mainly in the cities of the Kathmandu Valley.The Newars have long been famous as the creators of a rich and original culture. Their pronounced eth-nocultural identity has deep historical roots, and among its distinctive features there are many unique ones.The Newar religion is a synthe-sis of Hinduism and Buddhism, while many of its features are enshrined in a strictly ranked caste society. The caste system originally associated with Hinduism extends among the Newars and Buddhism, although initially it was incompatible with it.
A distinctive feature of the social life of the Newars is the guthi, social and religious formations that regulate and control the social and ritual life of the people and help them maintain internal unity.Unique features are also preserved in ritual practices, for example, in the ihi wedding ceremony, during which girls are symbolically married to the deities Vishnu-Narayana and Surya.When a girl later marries in the usual way and her husband dies for whatever reason, she does not become a widow.The cult of the living goddess Kumari is also unique.
Prospects for global jihadism in Southeast Asia
Authors: Zherlitsyna Natalia A.
Published: November 2021

The article examines the relationship between local and global radical Islamist movements in the countries of Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. The author set out to determine the reasons for the attractiveness of the rhetoric of modern global jihadist movements for the local population in remote regions of the world. 
The study showed that the ideology of jihadism is based on a return to identity, the main pole of which is religion. After examining the origins of radical Islamist movements in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, the author concluded that the Afghan War was the impetus for their development. The purpose of this study is to find common and distinctive characteristics of the situation with Islamist radicalism in each of the countries of the region. 
Analyzing the situation in Indonesia, the author concludes that the priority for local groups is local goals, and the issue of armed jihad has split the Indonesian Islamist movement into a moderate and radical wing associated with Al-Qaeda and ISIS. The article traces the evolution of secular power in Malaysia to the institutionalization of political Islam, starting in the 1970s. 
The author argues that the grows of the Islamization in Malaysia led to the fact that the modern religious and ethnic discourse of the country as a whole was prepared for the perception of the ideology of radicals when ISIS appeared in the region. The author found that the jihadist movements in the Philippines are motivated by the separatist conflict, they pursue local goals and use the rhetoric of global jihad to stimulate the struggle and intimidate opponents.
La vulnerabilidad como enfoque metodológico para los estudios de violencia
Authors: Jiménez García Williams Gilberto
Published: November 2021

El presente trabajo plantea una reflexión desde el territorio a partir de los procesos entre las superestructuras constitutivas del sistema social (desde la comprensión de la realidad), según Arteaga (2003), entre el sujeto frente a la estructura y la acción frente al sistema. En este sentido, en el esquema del riesgo, la violencia es una amenaza de tipo antrópico, y como tal es un peligro latente que atenta contra las dinámicas propias de un grupo humano que se expone diferencialmente a ella bajo los parámetros de su vulnerabilidad. Si la violencia es abordada de esta forma, permite visualizar no solo las causas y consecuencias de esta en un territorio, sino que también permite comprender las relaciones entre los factores que la promueven y catalizan, junto con los elementos macroestructurales que la detonan (el crimen organizado).

El presente artículo hace parte de los avances preliminares del resultado de la investigación “Prácticas sociales violentas desde las dinámicas del crimen organizado en relación con las violencias homicidas, una perspectiva desde la resistencia. Caso Villa Santana, Pereira, 2002 al 2017”. Tiene como principal objetivo reflexionar en torno a las prácticas sociales violentas, su relación con la violencia homicida y la resistencia en la comuna de Villa Santana, Pereira, Risaralda. Todo esto a partir del desarrollo otorgado por el trabajo social y el Derecho, donde se aborda una perspectiva metodológica orientada desde la construcción de subjetividad de Foucault y Javier Sáenz para llegar a una reflexión analítica del caso tipo Villa Santana.Es importante mencionar que la identificación de las categorías se hace desde los ejercicios cotidianos de la comunidad, permitiendo así reconocer si algunas de estas dinámicas de violencia son respuesta a ejercicios de resistencia, en el marco de las condiciones de poder expuestas y materializadas a partir de la violencia.

One of the determining factors in disease control is the use of superior seeds which have good quality and quantity. The use of biological control agents that form a symbiotic mutualism in their host plants can be used as an effort to obtain quality clove seeds. Endophytic bacteria and rhizobacteria have been reported as potential biological control agents for many plant diseases because of their safety in humans and non-target organisms. The purpose of this study was to identify the physiological and morphological characteristics of endophytic and rhizobacterial isolates obtained from clove plants. A total of 46 endophytic bacterial isolates were isolated from healthy clove roots, stems, leaves and flowers. Also, 66 isolates were isolated from the soil around the rhizosphere area. Based on the results of the identification of physiological and morphological characteristics, it is evident that the endophytic and rhizobacterial bacteria tested have the same character as Bacillus spp.
Effects of 5-aminolevulinic acid on production of antibodies against classical swine fever live vaccine
Authors: Kobayashi Eiji
Published: November 2021

Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a bioactive compound, 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), which has been reported to exhibit an immune-boosting effect, using a classical live swine fever (CSF) vaccine experimental model in pigs.  Methods: First, the effect of two different 5-ALA doses was evaluated by measuring the blood CSF viral load in male and female micro miniature pigs after vaccination with live vaccines. The CSF vaccine had a low inducing effect on antibody production in females, which improved after administration of 5-ALA by enhancing Th2 immunity as indicated by elevated interleukin-10 levels. Next, using male micro miniature pigs, the change in body weight was measured from the time before inoculation with the live vaccine to 28 days after inoculation, and the pattern of IgM and IgG antibody production after 5-ALA administration was examined. Results: Preventive doses of 5-ALA enabled the continuous production of IgG antibodies at the same rate as found in control pigs not receiving 5-ALA; however, the switch to IgG production was delayed during 5-ALA treatment. Oral administration of 5-ALA kept the testing male pigs healthy, showing normal growth. Conclusions: This suggested that the heme synthesis-promoting effects of 5-ALA simultaneously promoted the conversion of B cells into plasma cells.Keywords: functional food, 5-ALA, human equivalent dose, pig, classical swine fever
YANGIN GECİKTİRİCİ KİMYASALLARLA EMPRENYE EDİLMİŞ KONTRPLAKLARIN FORMALDEHİT EMİSYONLARININ YAPAY SİNİR AĞLARI İLE TAHMİNİ
Authors: DEMİR Aydın , AYDIN İsmail
Published: November 2021

Yangın geciktirici kimyasallar, uygulanmış oldukları malzemelerin fiziksel, mekanik ve diğer bazı teknolojik özellikleri üzerinde farklı etkilere neden olmaktadır. Bu etkiler, çözeltilerin konsantrasyon miktarlarına ve retensiyon miktarlarına bağlı olarak değişim gösterebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, YSA modellemesi kullanılarak yangın geciktirici kimyasallarla emprenye edilmiş kontrplakların formaldehit emisyon salınımları üzerine çözelti konsantrasyon ve retensiyon miktarlarının etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bundan yola çıkarak, ilk olarak, ağaç türü, yangın geciktirici kimyasal türü ve çözelti konsantrasyonunun retensiyon miktarı üzerine etkilerini incelemek için YSA ile retensiyon miktarı tahmin modeli geliştirilmiştir. Daha sonra, ağaç türü, yangın geciktirici kimyasal türü, çözelti konsantrasyonu ve retensiyon miktarının kontrplakların formaldehit emisyonu üzerine etkileri YSA ile geliştirilen formaldehit emisyon değerleri tahmin modeliyle araştırılmıştır. Deneysel çalışmalarda, ağaç türü olarak, kavak, kızılağaç ve sarıçam, yangın geciktirici kimyasal olarak da çinko borat, monoamonyum fosfat ve amonyum sülfat kullanılmıştır. Kaplama levhaları daldırma metoduna göre emprenye edilmiş ve %5, %7 ve %10 olmak üzere üç farklı çözelti konsantrasyonları seçilmiştir. Kontrplak levhalarının formaldehit emisyon ölçümleri DIN EN 717-3 standardındaki şişe yöntemine göre belirlenmiştir. Deneysel olarak elde edilen veriler ile YSA analizleri sonucunda elde edilen tahmin değerleri hem istatistiksel hem de grafiksel karşılaştırmalar kullanılarak, en iyi performansa ve kabul edilebilir sapmalara sahip tahmin modelleri belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra, bu tahmin modelleri kullanılarak, retensiyon miktarı ve formaldehit emisyon değerleri deneysel olarak testi yapılmayan ara çözelti konsantrasyon değerleri (%6, %8 ve %9) için tahmin edilmiştir. YSA analiz sonuçlarına göre, belirlenen bu ara değerlerde retensiyon miktarları artmaya devam ederken, formaldehit emisyon değerleri her üç ağaç türünde de benzer şekilde artış ve azalış göstermiştir.

Bu çalışmada, fahri av müfettişliği hakkında kanaatleri ölçmek için bir ölçek geliştirilmesi, bu ölçekle ilgi gruplarının fahri av müfettişliğine yönelik kanaatlerinin ölçülmesi ve ilgi gruplarının kanaatleri arasındaki farklılıkların test edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Tasarlanan FAMKANAAT ölçeğinin geçerlilik ve güvenirliği, Elazığ, Malatya, Diyarbakır, Batman, Tunceli, Sivas ve Kahramanmaraş illerinde gerçekleştirilen anket çalışması ile test edilmiştir. Anket çalışması, bu illerde avcılık ve yaban hayatı ile ilgili çalışan yöneticilere, av koruma memurlarına, fahri av müfettişlerine, avcı dernek başkanlarına ve rastgele seçilen avcıları içeren 577 kişiden oluşan bir örnekleme uygulanmıştır. Test değerlerine göre, ölçek geçerli ve güvenilirdir. FAMKANAAT ölçeği, fahri av müfettişliğine yönelik kanaatlerin genel olarak yüksek olduğunu ancak alt sınır değerlerinde (3,47) olduğunu göstermiştir. İlgi gruplarının fahri av müfettişliği hakkında kanaatleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur ve fahri av müfettişleri ve av koruma memurları kanaatleri açısından zıt gruplarda yer almaktadır. Alt ölçek olarak fahri av müfettişliği memnuniyetine yönelik kanaatlerin genel olarak yüksek olduğu (3,78) görülmüştür. Buna karşın, fahri av müfettişlerinin sorumluluklarını yerine getirme hususunda kendileri yüksek kanaat (3,39) bildirirken, diğer ilgi gruplarının kanaatinin orta düzeyde olması, fahri av müfettişliğinin geliştirilmesine olan gereksinime işaret etmektedir. Birçok demografik ve sosyoekonomik özelliklerine göre ilgi grupları arasında fark bulunmazken, fahri av müfettişleri, av koruma memurları ve avcıların ikamet ettikleri illere göre fahri av müfettişliğine yönelik kanaatleri arasında fark belirlenmiştir.
