Rolnictwo miejskie w światowym i polskim piśmiennictwie oraz w dokumentach planistycznych wybranych miast Polski
Authors: Sroka Wojciech , Król Karol , Matysik-Pejas Renata
Published: February 2022

W krajach wysoko rozwiniętych tematyka rolnictwa na obszarach miejskich staje się coraz bardziej popularna. Główną przesłanką jej rozwoju jest ponowne odkrycie korzyści, jakie może dostarczać rolnictwo organizmom miejskim. Celem artykułu jest prezentacja koncepcji rolnictwa miejskiego, a także rozpoznanie społecznego zainteresowania tą problematyką. Ponadto dokonano w nim oceny znaczenia rolnictwa w dokumentach planistycznych i strategiach rozwoju wybranych miast polskich. Pobocznym zamierzeniem artykułu jest propagowanie wiedzy i badań dotyczących rolnictwa miejskiego. W opracowaniu wykorzystano metody biliometryczną, webometryczną oraz desk research. Badania wykazały, że globalnie problematyka rolnictwa w miastach zyskuje coraz większe zainteresowanie naukowców. Liczba artykułów naukowych wykazuje trend wzrostowy. Również w Polsce obserwuje się podobne tendencje, o czym świadczy rosnąca liczba polskojęzycznych tekstów naukowych poświęconych tej tematyce. Niemniej jednak badania są na wczesnym etapie rozwoju i często mają charakter fragmentaryczny (dotyczą tylko wybranych wątków). Polscy naukowcy także stosunkowo rzadko publikują własne badania (w temacie urban agriculture) w uznanych anglojęzycznych czasopismach naukowych. Badania pokazały też, że polscy użytkownicy Internetu (wykorzystując język polski) rzadko szukają informacji analizowaną tematyką przekłada się zaś na treść dokumentów planistycznych polskich miast. Rolnictwo, zarówno w studiach uwarunkowań i kierunków zagospodarowania przestrzennego, jak i w strategiach rozwoju miast, jest pomijane lub marginalizowane. Wprawdzie w analizowanych miastach (z wyjątkiem Warszawy i Krakowa) użytki rolne są objęte różnymi formami ochrony, ale nie przekłada się to na działania operacyjne. Tylko w przypadku jednego z omawianych miast, tj. Wrocławia, rolnictwu poświęcono w strategii rozwoju wiele miejsca, snując wizję miasta ogrodu, gdzie użytki rolne i zieleń miejska stanowią istotny element przestrzeni.

Understanding Bereavement among College Students: Implications for Practice and Research
Authors: Shea Munyi , Bistricean Cristina
Published: February 2022

The experience of losing a first-degree family member, followed by a second-degree family, and a close friend is prevalent among college students. Bereavement affects student success as they must balance grief and academics. Culture also influences the expression and experience of grief, making it essential to understand grief and bereavement in context. The recent COVID-19 global pandemic has exacerbated the experience of loss and grief among college students, which warrants a better understanding and intervention for disenfranchised grief. Social and emotional support for disenfranchised grief is not always provided, as this type of grief is often socially unsanctioned. The lack of support and understanding could make it difficult for individuals with disenfranchised grief to cope with the demands of higher education and bereavement process. Counseling implications for how universities and colleges could intervene on the bereaved student's behalf are discussed.

In this context, the paper aims to carry out a non-exhaustive analysis, but focused on recent trends in the study of governance, correlating them with the latest events and determining phenomena that manifest themselves in the international security environment. The goal is to determine whether or not and to identify how the pandemic has influenced governance as a whole, the decline of democracy in particular, as well as national security, especially in the case of European states.
THE MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF THE EPIDEMIC DISEASES INDUCED BY BIOLOGICAL ATTACK WITH CONTAGIOUS AGENTS
Authors: ORDEANU Viorel , IONESCU Lucia Elena
Published: February 2022

The current security context illustrated by the COVID-19 pandemic shows us that we have vulnerabilities, that there are threats and that there will be risks, including biological ones. In the field of BIO defense it is almost impossible to experiment at the general level. This can only be done on time in the laboratory, in vitro, in vivo and possibly in silico. The calculation methodology for the effects of possible attack with contagious biological warfare agents has certain assumptions and limitations. Considering that the population is homogeneous it results that the isolated groups, to which the infection it does not spread, will show an overestimation. Possible individual variations, particular diseases and asymptomatic cases are not taken into account so either an underestimation or an overestimation occurs. In the mathematical modeling of the epidemic diseases induced by biological attack with contagious agents can use the SEIRP model: Susceptible, Exposed and Infected, Infectious, Removed and Prophylaxis Efficacious Model. The study is important for medical operational planning.

SECURITY DYNAMIC OF THE STRATEGIC NUCLEAR BALANCE IN SYSTEMS THEORY AND THE CONCEPT OF CENTRES OF GRAVITY
Authors: MARINOV Mario , BOGDANOV Plamen
Published: February 2022

The general concepts and understandings of the international security environment in the 21st century have become more complex owing to a multitude of factors spanning both traditional and novel security domains. In the current era, nuclear security in particular has continued to exist in its paramount role of importance. The following paper explores the defined state of the “strategic nuclear balance” as a state extant within the systemic approach towards international security. Based upon previous research in defining the state through core concepts fundamental to systems theory and supporting concepts such as those of centres of gravity, this paper aims to further expand contemporary understandings and illustrate a point of coalescence. Thereby the given study demonstrates how based upon key postulations in the understanding of the security concept in systems theory and centres of gravity of both physical and non-physical nature within a system, a combined novel model can be extrapolated, which demonstrates the security dynamic in the “strategic nuclear balance” between major global nuclear armed state actors.
SEARCHING FOR POLITICAL EFFECTIVENESS: THE STRATEGIES BEHIND THE MILITARY UNIFICATION OF JAPAN
Authors: DRĂGOIANU Ioana-Flavia
Published: February 2022

Over the course of millennia power laid in the hands of generals and rulers and their ability to act – but so did their downfalls. Thus, the first part of this presentation will be focused on the importance of strategy and tactics in any kind of rule. Furthermore, Japanese warfare will be anatomized – how the samurai became elite warriors, weaponry, the transition of samurai warfare during the Sengoku Period and its importance to the fight for supremacy between the Japanese Clans. The goal of this paper is to unravel the conundrums of The Age of War from a political frame of reference, under three powerful influences – Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu. The discussion will then shift towards analyzing the impetus that put in motion their plans and the ways they achieved power, their brilliant strategies and their undoing, whilst using the knowledge regarding Political Science and International Relations to determine the political legacy of their actions.

Early results of tendon-muscle transposition in severe irreversible damage of the radial nerve were evaluated. The study included 11 patients with paralysis of the hand and fingers extensors due to various injuries of the radial nerve. Treatment results were assessed after 6‒12 months using Moussavi et al. classification. The range of motion of extension of the hand, fingers, abduction and extension of the thumb were taken into account. The following data were obtained: excellent results were observed in 4 patients, good — in 7 patients. There were no satisfactory or bad results. Tendon-muscular transposition in the absence of clinical and electrophysiological recovery of radial nerve is a highly effective method of orthopedic correction that helps restore hand function and return functionality to patients.

We can see foreign social scientists crisscrossing our archipelago doing research on the Philippines. It has been like this since the arrival of the western powers and up to this day wherein we leave the burden of the search for indigenous knowledge and wisdom to the foreign scholars. Setting the foreign researchers’ feat aside, doing social science research with this type of result in view is an insurmountable task that has been adequately accomplished by the team of faculty members from the University of Southeastern Philippines and Davao Oriental State College of Science and Technology with the generous support of Senator Loren Legarda. From the first four pages bearing the introduction, it can be deduced right away that this manuscript is a product of an exciting fieldwork and rigorous ethnography –a commendable endeavor indeed. Reassuringly, I am making it clear that this breakthrough research should be continued for it is time that the local academia must take into its hands the thrust of documenting and preserving indigenous knowledge systems within its geographical vicinity. The familiarity and the proximity of the academic communities with the indigenous communities do not only project the idea of awareness, but also the degree of interest and intellectual curiosity that will facilitate in the tapping of the indispensable communities for the enhancement of the existing education policies, research agenda, and pedagogical endeavors among others. With the great merits this book has and the use of English language in its text, I am sure that this book will not be only used in the local academic communities, but it will find its way into the many libraries and university holdings in the country and abroad.

Comparison of Geostrophic Winds on constant pressure surfaces with observed winds in India
Authors: SARMA V. VITTAL
Published: February 2022

The paper describes a method of comparing geostrophic winds derived from constant pressure surfaces with observed winds. The differences in heights of the constant pressure surfaces between five pairs of stations in India have been calculated using upper wind data for two levels viz. 850 mb and 700 mb, The differences have also been obtained from the data of radio sonde ascents. These values have been compared and correlation coefficients have been worked out. Similar computations have been made for some cases in the British Isles. Some plausible explanations for the comparatively lower values of correlation coefficients for the Indian stations have been given.
The control of the micro-climate for given practical purposes
Authors: Malik A.K.
Published: February 2022

Experiments carried out at the Central Agricultural Meteorological Observatory show that it is possible to lower or raise the temperature of the soil surface quite appreciable by covering with a layer of chalk powder or charcoal powder respectively. A thin cover of vegetation further lowers the soil temperature. It is also noted that a thin layer of chalk can bring about an appreciable reduction of evaporation from the soil. Experiments in ‘orchard heating’ indicate the possibility of minimizing frost damage by controlling air temperature during cold waves.

 

A brief account is also given of a micro-climatic test for drought resistance by subjecting two lots of plants to the conditions in two artificially produced environments, viz., one in which air is hot and dry and another in which the air is kept cool and humid within an enclosure of wet screens. It is found that plants which are drought-resistant have a control on transpiration while non-resistant types do not indicated such control. By comparing the transpiration ratio with the evaporation ratio it is possible to identify the resistant from the non-resistant varieties. It takes about one week per lot of plants, to complete the above test.

The convective duststorm occurring over Northwest India during the pre-monsoon season is called 'India'. In this paper a study is made on Andhi of Delhi using available meteorological records of recent years. From records of horizontal visibility and surface wind speed variations associated with them, Andhi has been classified into 4 types. Radar PPI photographs studied shows that the distance between the cumulonimbus cloud or squall line as seen in the radar and the ground level position of the duststorm (or gust-front) can be as large as 30 kilometres. The paper also gives a review of the existing knowledge on the phenomenon of convective duststorm (Andhi and Haboob).

Water availability periods and soil moisture during extreme years of crop production at Solapur
Authors: RAO G. APPA , BHIDE B. A.
Published: February 2022

Analysis has been carried out to obtain different water availability periods during extreme rabi sorghum yields at Solapur. They are humid, moist and preparatory periods computed on the basis of weekly rainfall and potential evapotranspiration. It is observed that low yields occur due to shorter period of moist and humid type and are generally associated with higher positive aridity anomalies during sowing, tillering and flowering stages of the crop. Weekly water budgeting indicated that the soil moisture variations are significant in extreme years of crop output. Probabilities of different soil moisture ranges showed the possibility of shifting the sowing date backward for a better yield, which is supported by special field experiments conducted at Solapur.

Published: February 2022

The idea that the Rajasthan Desert is encroaching upon the adjoining fertile plains has been mentioned now and then in recent times. T h e extension of the arid conditions of the Rajasthan Desert into the adjoining areas can be due to (i) changes in the climate, (ii) drifting of sand from the desert region to the adjoining areas , (iii) over-grazing o f the land and breaking up of the surface layers by the hoofs of the grazing animals deforestation on a large scale and wasteful methods o f cultivation , which result in the removal of the top layers o f the soil, the loss of fertility and the replacement of fertile lands by barren and arid tracts particularly in regions adjoining deserts and where the rainfall is small. In this note we will examine whether there has been any climatic changes in Rajasthan and the surrounding areas.

Authors: Zhou Tong
Published: February 2022

The introduction of the “right of habitation” is a bright spot in the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, but it has not broken through the traditional attribute of personal servitude and excluded the commercial use. From the historical evolution and realistic demand of the right of habitation, this choice of the function does not meet the needs of our market economy and the development of modern society. Therefore, from the right attribute and functional shift of the right of habitation, this paper holds that the right of habitation has the possibility of commercial use. But to strike a balance between the diversified needs of market players and the unique nature of the right of habitation system, the commercial utilization of right of habitation shall have an appropriate scope of application, and limit the scope of holders to natural persons.
Analyst Attention and Corporate Financing Constraints: Evidence from China
Authors: Li Chen
Published: February 2022

This paper explores the effect of analyst coverage on financing constraints by selecting listed companies in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange as a sample for the study. This research finds that analyst coverage mitigates financing constraints after controlling all other variables that affect both investors’ investment decisions and investee’s financing decisions. This result still holds after the robustness check using pooled OLS model with a fixed-effect model and balanced panel data. Additionally, the heterogeneity analysis implies that analyst coverage is negatively related only to financing constraints that large-size firms encounter, whereas analyst coverage does not ease financing constraints that small-size firms encounter. Overall, the results of the study provide regulators with insights into how to improve the information transparency in the capital market, to help investors make optimal investment decisions, and to facilitate companies’ external financing.
