Humanistyczna i przyrodoznawcza odpowiedzialność za przyrodę.
Authors: Mamzer Hanna
Published: May 2021

W obliczu katastrofalnych skutków antropopresji widoczna staje się konieczność współpracy pomiędzy humanistyką a przyrodoznawstwem. Te dwie sztucznie rozłączone dziedziny nauki, zdążyły w toku historii zbudować swoje metodologie i swoje języki. Obie jednak badają to samo: świat, w którym żyje człowiek. W kontekście narastającej potrzeby troskliwych działań w kierunku przyrody, potrzebne są zintegrowane podejścia. Jest to tym bardziej zasadne, że przecież człowiek jest elementem biologicznego środowiska. Koncepcje posthumanistyczne znoszą podział między kulturą a naturą, proponują zrezygnować z antropocentryzmu i lokują człowieka na powrót w świecie przyrody. Tym bardziej więc powrotne połączenie humanistyki i przyrodoznawstwa jest zasadne. Co więcej, jest ono też konieczne dla efektywnej refleksji na rzecz ochrony środowiska przyrodniczego.
Wyludnianie się miejscowości na terenie Prus Wschodnich przed 1939 rokiem na przykładzie powiatu piskiego (Kreis Johannisburg). Wybrane świadectwa krajobrazowe przerwania ciągłości osadnictwa
Authors: Majewska Anna
Published: May 2021

W pracy omówiono okoliczności wyludniania się wiejskich jednostek osadniczych z terenu dawnych Prus Wschodnich (wcześniej terytorium Prus Książęcych), zachodzącego przed 1939 rokiem. Szczegółowe zagadnienia przedstawiono na przykładzie obszaru obecnego powiatu piskiego, funkcjonującego do 1945 roku w niemal niezmienionych granicach jako niemiecki Kreis Johannisburg. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono krajobrazowym aspektom przyczyn oraz konsekwencji zachodzącej depopulacji, włączając analizę przestrzenną z wykorzystaniem metody kartograficznej. Materialne świadectwa przerwania ciągłości osadnictwa powodowanego czynnikami środowiskowymi przedstawiono na przykładzie translokowanej miejscowości Wielgilass, omawiając m.in. relikty zidentyfikowane za pośrednictwem pochodnych lotniczego skanowania laserowego (NMT).

UWAGI O ONTOLOGII LOKALNOŚCI
Authors: Radzicki Bogdan
Published: May 2021

W artykule autor podejmuje próbę naszkicowania możliwych perspektyw teoretycznych prowadzenia badań nad lokalnością/regionalnością w ramach trzech współczesnych teorii społecznych, w których kluczową rolę przypisuje się pojęciu komunikacji: teorię społeczeństwa komunikacyjnego Manuela Castellsa, teorię aktora-sieci Bruno Latoura oraz teorię systemów społecznych Niklasa Luhmanna. Mimo wyraźnych różnic wskazane koncepcje mają przynajmniej trzy istotne cechy, które tworzą pewną wspólną teoretyczną płaszczyznę refleksji: każda z nich podkreśla procesualność społeczeństwa, rolę komunikacji oraz skupia swoją uwagę na wytwarzaniu sensów – znaczeń społecznych. Każda z wymienionych tu cech pozwala ukonstytuować interesujące pole badawcze do podejmowania studiów nad lokalnością/regionalnością w ramach różnych dyscyplin humanistycznych i społecznych. Tekst stanowi jedynie przyczynek do sformułowania takiego projektu badawczego. Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi badaczy lokalności na możliwości i narzędzia teoretyczne, jakie oferują wskazane koncepcje.

Purpose: to assess the potential for the functional implementation of a micro-hydropower station in the design of a sprinkler machine to meet the in-system needs for electrical energy. Materials and methods: the study was carried out on the basis of an example of calculating the installation of a micro-hydropower station by A. G. Chernykh and the formulas presented in the handbook on hydraulics. To construct the multiple regression equation, the inverse matrix solution method was used. The calculation of the economic efficiency of the micro-hydropower station was carried out using the method of technical and economic analysis of possible options for electrification by S. G. Obukhov. Results and discussion: based on the results of the verification energy calculations, the effective power on the hydraulic turbine shaft with average technical parameters of low-pressure sprinkler machines was 1.202–15.648 kW. At the same time, linking the operation of the micro-hydropower plant to the irrigation systems of the North Caucasus territory has the potential to get 2596.32–33799.68 kW of generated electricity per year at a cost of 1 kW·h of 0.6204 rubles. Conclusions: the introduction of a micro-hydropower station in the design of sprinkler equipment will provide the ability to generate electricity within the available hydraulic characteristics. With this in mind, for the operation of hydropower equipment, it is necessary to have or create an additional water pressure. The multiple regression equation obtained on the basis of verification calculations of the parameters of the energy block of a microhydroelectric power plant showed that an increase in the water pressure per 1 m Н2О leads to an increase in effective power by an average of 0.611 kW.

Purpose: to reveal the efficiency of the Donskaya variety lentils cultivation on ordinary chernozem at different seeding rates and doses of mineral fertilizers. Materials and methods. The research was carried out in Aksai district Rostov region on the experimental field of the Federal State Budget Scientific Institution “Federal Rostov Agricultural Research Centre” (FSBSI FRARC). The objects of research are the yield and protein content in lentil grain, depending on the seeding rate and the mineral fertilizers dose. The experiments setting, recording and mathematical processing of the data obtained were carried out according to B. A. Dospekhov. Results. It has been found that the yield of Donskaya lentils is significantly influenced by both mineral fertilizers and changes in sowing rates. The maximum yield was obtained at sowing seeds at a rate of 2.2 million pcs/ha, while the plant stand and the feeding area were optimal for development. The maximum yield increase was obtained in the N20P40 variant, amounting to 0.55 t/ha. As the seeding rate increases, the protein content in the lentil grain decreases. The application of mineral fertilizers leads to a significant increase in the protein content at all studied seeding rates. The combined use of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers leads to an increase in protein content compared to the application of only phosphorus fertilizers. Calculation of the agrochemical efficiency of the applied fertilizers showed that the highest payback of lentils at rates of 2.2 and 2.8 million pcs/ha was obtained with the introduction of 20 kg of active agent of phosphorus, amounting to 1.5 and 11.5 kg/kg active agent respectively. When sowing at a rate of 1.6 million pcs/ha, the maximum payback was obtained with the introduction of 40 kg active agent of phosphorus. Conclusion. It was found that it is economically efficient to cultivate lentils when sowing seeds at a rate of 2.2 million pcs/ha with the introduction of 20 kg of active agent of nitrogen and 40 kg active agent of phosphorus, this allows you to get the maximum net income (44.3 thousand rubles/ha) and payback of direct costs (3.1 rubles) with the lowest cost of grain produced (9.6 thousand rubles/ton).

Authors:   Federal Rostov Agricultural Research Centre, Kholodova M. A.
Published: May 2021

Purpose: to study the features of formation and fragility of the functioning of integrated structures of the agrarian sector of the Russian economy. Materials and methods: the methodological research apparatus is based on a comprehensive economic analysis of the financial and economic activities of five backbone integrated formations of the agricultural sector. In order to explain the phenomenon of formation and development of large integrated structures, the data of the annual financial statements of the studied farms were used. Results: the result of the search for alternative forms of inter-farm relations coordination in the agricultural sector of Russian economy was the development of large integrated structures. In the course of the study, their spatial expansion across the territory of Russia was revealed. The economic feasibility of the development of large innovative formations in pig and poultry farming has been substantiated. Particular attention is paid to the mechanism of state support distribution based on market concentration ratios determining the volume of budget allocation for large agribusiness and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index. On the example of the leading backbone agrarian formations, freely adapting to changing economic conditions, the shortcomings of large-format business explaining the phenomenon of their functioning fragility are revealed. In particular, the business capitalization ratio proves the fact of a serious debt load on farms, liquidity ratios demonstrate a low level of their solvency, which in general negatively affects the financial well-being of the largest players in the agricultural market. Conclusions: it is proved that the financial well-being of large integrated formations development is the result of tight belts of farmers, without which it is impossible to obtain credit resources and active government support, which in the mid-run won’t ensure the effective functioning of agricultural production.

Purpose: study of the features, state and problems of the material and technical support of agricultural production, substantiation of methods and facilities for investing in the development of material and technical base (MTB) of agricultural enterprises. Materials and methods. The use of statistical and comparative analysis methods in the process of processing and interpreting the data of the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia made it possible to identify the features and trends in the reproduction of MTB of agricultural producers and to determine the directions of investment processes development in agriculture. Results. The comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis of the material and technical condition of agricultural enterprises is provided. The tendencies and contradictions in financing the investment needs of MTB reproduction, expressed in an increase in the cost indicators of fixed assets of agricultural enterprises with a decreasing quantitative indicators of agricultural machinery, are indicated. The financial conditions and sources of financing investments in fixed assets which made it possible to identify the dependence of investments on external sources with insignificant state financial support for agriculture have been analyzed. Conclusions. There are internal reserves for the formation of investment funds in agriculture. However, the high risks associated with the essence of agricultural production determine the fact that the investment mechanism development in the agricultural sector largely depends on the forms of state financial support for the industry. Tax incentives, depreciation policy of enterprises, the development of concessional lending and leasing, public-private partnerships in the agricultural sector are designated as tools to stimulate the investment process.

Purpose: development and testing of a method for determining the size and moisture characteristics of moisture contours formed in the southern chernozems of the steppe type of soil formation during drip irrigation. Materials and methods. Experimental studies were carried out on light, medium and heavy loamy medium thick ordinary and southern chernozems. The vertical sections of humidification zones with a system of in-contour moisture isopleths were considered. As indicators determining the contour parameters, the following are considered: the content of physical clay in the moistened soil layer, the soil density and its lowest moisture capacity. Results. In the process of studying the experimental vertical sections of soil drip moistening zones, dependences characterizing the existing functional relationships between the contour geometric parameters and the characteristics of soil, phytosoil and technological conditions of their formation were determined. On the basis of the obtained experimental dependences, a method for calculating the contours linear dimensions and graphically constructing their outlines has been developed. The proposed method for contour predicting was tested on actual data on their sizes and moisture distribution in the inner-contour space, obtained by other researchers experimentally. Comparison of the experimental and predicted contours of drip moistening testifies to their qualitative similarity both in terms of the external outline and in terms of the location of isopleths with different levels of soil moisture inside the wetted zone. The calculated value of the irrigation rate differs from the actual one by 2.2 %. Conclusions. The proposed method for predicting the sizes of moisture contours and intra-contour isopleths, formed in chernozems of the steppe type of soil formation, was developed to the level of calculations using the author's computer program. An example of approbation of the proposed method indicates its acceptability for use in the crops drip irrigation design and operational practice.
ASSESSMENT OF THE HUMAN POTENTIAL OF RURAL AREAS
Authors:   Federal Rostov Agricultural Research Centre, Bakhmatova G. A.
Published: May 2021

Purpose: clarification of the concept “human potential of rural areas”, development of the methodology for assessing the human potential of rural areas based on the study of constraining development factors. Materials and methods: a monographic method to highlight the development potentials and clarify the concept of “human potential”, an economic and statistical method to calculate the consolidated human potential index, as well as analysis and synthesis methods have been used. Results: the dynamic transformation of the market economy requires not only the availability of modern technologies, but also the provision of development with qualified personnel. Human potential accumulates the capabilities of managerial and labor decisions in accordance with the existing external conditions. Rural areas have a certain labor “reserve” that can be determined through human potential. An analysis of the potential of the territory and the institutional environment determines the development opportunities, and the assessment makes it possible to determine the need to attract or constraint labor resources. The development of human potential takes place under the influence of the external environment, and the formation of favorable conditions is an important task of regional development. There are many concepts for assessing human potential, but a holistic concept of criteria has not been formed. The index assessment of the factors restraining development makes it possible to determine the potential of the territory. The following were selected as the main estimated indicators reflecting the main constraining factors: employment of population, wages of population, coverage of children with preschool education, available social space per person, the share of the working-age population, life expectancy, the share of private enterprises in the total number of operating enterprises. Comparison of indicators of rural areas is carried out with data on the city, which makes it possible to identify the optimal criteria for human potential. Conclusions: the proposed methodology for assessing human potential based on indices makes it possible to monitor and quickly respond to the needs of a changing external environment. Based on the methodology for assessing the composite human potential index, problems and constraints on development were identified. The rural area lags behind in almost all indicators from the urban one, which requires solving the problems of creating a favorable environment for the life and work of the able-bodied rural population.

Published: May 2021

This study focuses on the Sweden coronavirus strategy as a unique model among the common one, to tackle the covid-19 pandemic which started in China at the end of 2019 and then started spreading around the world. Sweden took a distinct way to deal with the first wave of the pandemic from January to the end of October 2020. It did not impose a lock down, did not force people to stay at home, did not close the markets and left the schools for people under 16 open. Although this strategy resulted in the death of around 6000 within the first wave, most of the victims were elderlies aged 60 to 90 years old who lost their lives due to some miscalculations and problems inside the care homes. This counted as a dark side of the strategy. This study raises some questions regarding the uniqueness of Swedish approach and how it differs from the common approach in most countries. It also seeks to find out on what bases this approach has been built and how Kurdistan Region can benefit from it. The study found out that the unique policy was based on some characteristics of the society such as the trust between people and the government and public institutions, trust-based policies, natural social distancing, and the common responsibility culture followed by Swedes during the crisis. Understanding these traits are critical before assessing the Sweden Coronavirus strategy. This study also highlights some key areas which could be taken as lessons for Kurdistan Government to consider during the pandemic. This study follows the qualitative approach to collect its data and employ analytical and descriptive methods to present and analyses the collected date

Epic is one of the oldest genres in many nations' literature and has occupied an excellent area of world literature. From birth to the middle ages, one of the first genres of literature of many nations It was epic that became the primary genre of the era from Sumerians to Greeks and Romans, and later in the middle centuries. This genre has its specific characteristics and principles that have become the genre's identity for all of the texts under this genre. These characteristics have created the basis for similarities and differences for the literary texts placed under this literary genre. Epic has occupied a special place and states in the literature of the Kurdish nation. Although the Kurdish sample of epic was not like the global model, it still possesses many global epic criteria and assumptions. From this perspective, this research attempts to show how Ahmadi Khani's epic "Mam u Zin" is committed to the characteristics and principles of this genre.

Authors: Jalili Simin
Published: May 2021

The expansion of the English Language utilization, the concept of Lingua Franca, and the English language proficiency’s role in children’s social and vocational future, make children’s learning English a vital affair for parents all around the world. Minding the role of parents’ educational level is an understudied issue in children’s English language proficiency level. To address this unexpected topic, the purpose of this study is finding the relationship between parents’ educational level and children’s English language proficiency. For this study, the researcher gave a TOEFL test (for evaluating the children’s English language proficiency) and a questionnaire (for determining their parents’ educational level) to eighty participants both female and male who are in their twenties and thirties. They were students in Intermediate and Upper Intermediate level in Gatt Language Center (GLC) in Tehran. After collecting the data the researcher considered each participant’s score two times: First regarding to their fathers’ educational level, second regarding to their mothers’ educational level. The researcher ran Independent Sample t-Test for differentiation between children whose parents have university education and children whose parents do not have university education. This study showed that children whose mothers have university education have higher level of English language proficiency. But there is no significant difference of English language proficiency level between children whose fathers have university education and those whose fathers do not have university education. In accordance with this study, unlike fathers’, mothers’ educational level, especially university education, could affect children’s English language proficiency level. So all parents especially mothers who desire to have children with high English language proficiency level, should take the prominence of their own educational level into account.
A Sociocultural Approach to Updating the Teaching of Reading and Listening in English
Authors: Victoria Safonova
Published: May 2021

For many years ELT methodology has given considerable attention to the questions of teaching reading and listening /R & L/ in English as communicative language activities, focusing mostly on how to develop students’ comprehension skills that are necessary for their effective communication with native speakers. But what is still badly needed right now is to develop R & L pedagogy with a cross-cultural or pluricultural dimension that would help to create step-by-step relevant information basis for developing students as active intercultural listeners and readers. The paper argues that it is a good time to make a methodological shift in ELT from teaching R & L simply as language activities to teaching cross-cultural and/or pluricultural reading & listening for the purposes of helping students become positive (though not naïve), confident and flexible partners in intercultural communication in today’s though globalized, but still culturally diverse and turbulent world. The paper gives an overview of what has been done in the ELT field under consideration and outlines some key postulates of the sociocultural approach to teaching international languages and comments on how they can be applied to R & L in the context of the dialogue of cultures and civilisations. It discusses some basic principles of selecting aural, visual and audio-visual texts for creating an appropriate cross-cultural or pluricultural space in the English classroom (the principles of didactic appropriateness, communicative & sociocultural values for students’ as potential intercultural speakers). Besides, it also offers a set of ELT principles of teaching the art of R & L for the purposes of students’ intercultural communication worldwide.

The experiment was carried out in 2015, in Caxias do Sul - RS. The experimental design used blocks at random with four treatments, being: without topping of bunch, topping of bunch in pre-flowering, topping of bunch in full bloom, topping of bunch in post-blooming. The variables analyzed were: production per plant, bunch weight, bunch length, berry diameter and number of bunches soluble solids and titratable acidity. Regardless of the pruning time of the bunches, the factors of production and the evaluated chemical physics were not affected, obtaining bunches with weight and shape according to market requirements.
A Stratigraphic Analysis of the Middle Bronze Age from the Tell Taanach Excavations in 1963, '66 and '68
Authors:   , Wakeman Ronald
Published: May 2021

The Problem One the most troubling issues for Near Eastern Archaeology is the lack of published excavation reports. Part of the problem is that archaeologists love to dig, but dislike writing publication reports. As a result, final reports are lacking for substantial number of archaeological excavations. Without a final report, the results of an archaeologist season and new information is lost forever. Dr. Paul Lapp of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary lead excavations at Tell Taanach in the West Bank, Palestine in 1963, ’66 and ’68. At the end of each season he wrote and published preliminary reports. Preliminary reports provide an overall summary of a season, but a full report is necessary. Due to his untimely death, the final reports for Lapp’s excavations were never completed. Method On the basis of data culled from the personal diaries, field notes, manuals, drawings and unpublished manuscripts a relative chronology for the Middle Bronze stratigraphy at Tell Taanach was determined. Gathering the data was gathered involved photocopying every page from the field books of every square; some field books are kept at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and some are stored at Bir Zeit University in the West Bank, Palestine. Reviewing and coordinating the Middle Bronze loci in each square enabled a reconstruction of the Middle Bronze Age stratigraphy in each square, which facilitated the forming of an outline of the entire site Results The evidence accumulated from Tell Taanach indicates two well defined Middle Bronze IIC strata. There is also evidence of a modest early MB IIB campsite/occupation and a third MB IIC strata in some squares. The method and consistency of buildings and construction and the ceramic assemblage all indicate a socially stable community in the MB IIC phase Conclusion The occupation story in the Middle Bronze Age at Taanach included no permanent habitation in the MB AI, some campsite dwelling in the MB IIB and a thriving community in the MB IIC Phase which transitioned peacefully into the Late Bronze Age.The ceramic evidence indicates a smooth transition from Middle Bronze to Late Bronze pottery in the middle of the sixteenth century B.C.

Published: May 2021

Background and Aim: Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause respiratory tract infections in humans. SARS-CoV-2 is a new type of this family initiated in late 2019 and its related disease is known as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, dry cough, fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia and shortness of breath. Methods & Materials: In This narrative review a literature search was conducted in scientific databases including Google Scholar and PubMed to find studies published from December 2019 to May 10 2020 on the role the extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19. Ethical Considerations: Ethical issues (including plagiarism, misconduct, data fabrication, falsification, double publication or submission, redundancy) have been completely observed by the authors. Results: In addition to respiratory symptoms, involvement of various organs such as gastrointestinal tract, nervous system, skin, olfactory system, cardiovascular system, liver, kidney, and eyes was also reported. Extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19 included anosmia, ageusia, skin rash, chickenpox-like blisters, acute cardiac failure with increased troponin levels, kidney inflammation and edema, common gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. diarrhea, nausea and vomiting), elevated liver enzyme levels, neurological disorders (e.g. stroke), nonspecific symptoms (e.g. headache and dizziness), and decreased consciousness level. Conclusion: The hypothetical mechanisms of various organ involvements during COVID-19 include immune-mediated inflammation such as cytokine storm, respiratory dysfunction, hypoxemia, cellular damage, or combination of these mechanisms. Further studies should be conducted on the causes of various COVID-19-induced damages to determine the exact relationship between the pathogenesis, prognosis and severity of the disease.

Every individual human might have completely different faces; however, their expressions tell us the same story and it notably plays a significant role in extraction of an individual’s emotions and behavior. Music is the purest form of art and a medium of expression, which is known to have a greater connection with a person’s emotions. It has a novel ability to lift one’s mood. This project system focuses on building an efficient music player which works on emotion of user using facial recognition techniques. The facial features extracted will generate a system thereby reducing the effort and time involved in doing it manually. Facial data is captured by employing a camera. The emotion module makes use of deep learning techniques to spot the exact mood relative to that expression. The accuracy of mood detection module in the system for real time footage is above 80%; while for static pictures it is 95 to one hundred percent. Therefore, it brings out higher accuracy relating to time and performance.

Because a large amount of soybean residue(SR) what is the byproduct of tofu and soymilk industries is produced annually in the world and is a byproduct with a rich nutritional profile, particularly in proteins, fibers, lipids, and bioactive components, a lot of researchers intensify the study on the SR and the processing and utilization of its have attracted more and more attention due to the increased consumption of SR in recent years. Especially the soluble fiber of SR lowers blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels by binding to cholesterol and helping to pass it out of the body, therefore, the composition proportion of soluble components in dietary fiber is an important factor affecting its physiological function. Steam explosion (SE) is a kind of physical method recently used in food pretreatment. In this study, the insoluble dietary fiber of SR converted to soluble dietary fiber by SE treatment and increased the content of soluble dietary fiber, and optimized the condition of SE treatment processing by response surface methodology(RSM). The results showed that the optimum conditions was: moisture content of 76.3%, steam explosion time of 88S?steam explosion pressure of 1.7MPa; on the conditions?the content of SDF was 36.5%. Through the analysis on the physicochemical properties of SE treated SR in the optimum condition, determined that water solubility of SR increased significantly, while swelling capacity, oil and water holding capacities decreased after SE treatment.

Published: May 2021

There are various factors such as absorption, refraction & the phenomenon of scattering of light by particles suspended in water that are responsible for distorted colors, low contrast & blurred details of original underwater images. The traditional approaches include pre-processing the image using a descattering algorithm. The super-resolution (SR) method is applied. But this method has limitation that major part of the high frequency information is lost during descattering. This paper comes up with a solution for underwater image enhancement using a deep residual framework. Firstly, the generation of synthetic underwater images takes place for which cycle-consistent adversarial networks (CycleGAN) is employed. Further, these synthetic underwater images are used as training data for convolution neural network models. Secondly, the introduction of very-deep super-resolution reconstruction model to underwater resolution applications is carried out. Using this, the underwater Resnet model is proposed. It acts as a residual learning model for underwater image enhancement operations. Furthermore, the training mode & loss function are improved. Then, a multi-term loss function is formed which comprises of proposed edge difference loss & mean squared error loss. An asynchronous training mode is also being proposed that improves the performance of the multi-term loss function. Lastly, the discussion of the impact of batch normalization takes place. After a comparative analysis & underwater image enhancements, we can say that detailed enhancement performance & color correction of these proposed methods are much efficient & superior to that of previous traditional methods & deep learning models.

Nowadays news audiences are experiencing an "echo chamber" due to news biased coverage, which causes individuals to shape views with only one side of the story in mind. Media is considered the strongest source of insight and viewpoint for readers about current events. Therefore, the inequality and misrepresentation of media portrayal of topics is necessary to scrutinise. So, by computing a bias score for the news articles, the reader is able to make an informed decision related to particular events. In this paper, an attempt is made to prepare a survey report detailing some of the literature work done for figuring out the systems which detect the political bias for the news articles.
