Authors: SRAVANI ALANKA  , LAKSHMANA RAO.VENNAPU
Published: November 2021

In the present study, evapotranspiration and moisture adequate index for the 37 mandals of the Srikakulam district for the year 2018 has been estimated. The PET values were very high in the summer season of all the mandals than in the other seasons. The normal PET values were lower than that of the actual PET values showing location specific and better estimation characteristics. This estimation of location-specific PET can be helpful for the drought classification and water management planning within the district. Moisture adequate index of all the mandals has indicated that the district as a whole has a humid/temperate climate; but within the district, mandals report different conditions. This makes it a more relevant tool for drought, microclimatic classification and annual water planning for sustainable agriculture.
Basic trends in direct foreign investments
Authors:   Western Caspian University, Mammadli Nigar
Published: November 2021

This paper looks to give a method of reasoning to changing patterns in the stream and determinants of outside direct venture (FDI) because of full scale financial and firm procedure contemplations. We recognize a few factors that affect such patterns, and create suggestions that could clarify the wonder conventionally. The examination at that point gives primer experimental help to the suggestions exhibited, and traces the way for additional exploration expected to research increasingly causal connections. Foreign investment is often used as a political scapegoat for the world’s ills, and there are certainly times when it deserves a bad rap. Big companies can run roughshod over developing countries, breeding corruption and removing a country’s wealth rather than injecting it back into the domestic economy. It is this overwhelming force that spawned the concept of a resource curse. Globalization, which tends to go hand in hand with FDI, is not the most popular or well-liked economic concept, even if it does benefit consumers in the end. Officials under pressure to fix the economy can earn brownie points by pointing a finger at foreign companies bent on “owning the country,” with “buy domestic” legislation and non-tariff barriers to trade reducing the ability of outsiders to gain market access.

The Role of the Various Solvent Polarities on Piperine Reactivity and Stability
Authors: AHMED Lana , OMER Rebaz
Published: November 2021

Piperine is a natural cytotoxic agent aware of various therapeutic acts. The aim of this study is to look into the effects of solvent polarity on solvent-free energy, dipole moment, polarizability, and hyper-polarizability of the first order, as well as various molecular properties including chemical hardness and softness, chemical potential, electronegativity, and electrophilicity index, in order to gain a better understanding of its reactivity and stability. The Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) level of theory with the cc-pVDZ basis set was used to perform all forms of calculations in both the gas phase and in solution. The Solvation Model on Density (SMD) was used to measure the solvation-free energy, dipole moment, and molecular properties of five solvent systems: water, DMSO, ethanol, cyclohexane, and heptane. As the dielectric constant was reduced, the solving energies gradually decreased, i.e. free energy decreased with declining solvent polarity. Piperine's dipole moment has been found to increase when transitioning from non-polar to polar solvents. The dipole moment of piperine was greater than that of the gas phase in various solvents. PPN's dipole moment and first order hyper-polarizability gradually increased as the solvent polarity increased, while its polarizability decreased. In addition, the hardness, chemical potential and electrophilicity index were decreased from non-polar to polar solvent, but with the rise in solvent polarity for the PPN molecule, softness and electronegativity were increased. The determined free energy solvation, dipole moment, polarizability, hyper-polarizability of the first order, and molecular properties identified in this research may contribute to an understanding of the stability and reactivity of piperine in specific solvent systems.

Published: November 2021

The article analyses the conflicting views of reliabilism and evidentialism on the following question – What is the leading condition in ascribing justification to beliefs: reliability or evaluation through evidence. The evidentialist view is defended by arguments, derived from the linguistic practices of ascribing justification in complex conditions. The generality problem is interpreted as an exemplification of the complexity of cognitive situations and it is argued that complexity requires reference to the mental states as a means for ascribing justification. Reliability is also recognized as a factor for ascribing justification to some beliefs when it serves as a type of evidence.

Published: November 2021

The study of the „information environment – person“ relationship is becoming an increasingly important focus in the research repertoire. The informatization of the social environment is not an isolated phenomenon – it is interpreted as one of the functional characteristics of modern society. Although the „child-to-media environment“ relationship has been the subject of numerous studies, it is still attracting scientific interest. This interest is focused mainly on the specifics of the development of the modern child. Defining the multimedia environment as mediating individual socialization focuses on the multimodal functioning of new technologies. Taking into account this fact requires a new type of organization of the educational environment, aimed at the early development of multiliteracy for orientation in the processes of information and communication in the changing world.

Ethics of Care: Readings and Perspecives
Authors:   BAS, Bulgaria, Batuleva Tatyana
Published: November 2021

The article examines the main emphasis in the evolution of the concept of care. It, on the one hand, builds a different ethics (C. Gilligan) and, on the other, is an attempt to justify a new political philosophy (J. Tronto) and new forms of solidarity arising from the understanding of vulnerability as universally shared situation. Particular attention has been paid to the French ethical voices – Sandra Logier and Patricia Paperman, who contribute to the enrichment of care readings: it is a leading relational ethic and political weapon that valorizes all that remains beyond the reach of ethics of justice. Possible political projections range it between the reduction of the feminist charge of the concept in case of over-reduction in favor of a particular political context (J.-M. Chahsiche) and the promising future of this “holistic” concept, bearing resources to enrich the political (S. Logier). Further arguments in favor of ethics of care have been sought in Hunyadi’s theory of the role of context as a combination of factuality and counter-factuality, and the opportunity for ethics of care to formulate its own normativity (St. Collins). The ethics of care is a contribution to feminist theories of difference and an example of a moderate deconstructionist approach: it practically realizes the calls of the deconstruction to “retain aporia” (Fr. Laruelle), but without reaching its possible extremes.

Authors: Shen Chen
Published: November 2021

Even though the Singapore Convention is recognized as a landmark in the history of the international dispute resolution area, it is still in its infancy. Given China's economic influence and Hong Kong's position in the Asia-Pacific commercial dispute resolution market, China's ratification would greatly enhance the Singapore Convention's impact in international commercial dispute resolution market and hence promote the use of commercial mediation. However, it remains uncertain as to whether, when and how the Singapore Convention would enter into force in China, even though China's one of the first signatories. Current commentaries within China towards Singapore Convention do not only reflect the potential benefits for China to ratify the Singapore Convention, but also difficulties that China might face and strategies to overcome these difficulties, which might form the basis for future decision-makings related to commercial mediation in China.

Similarly, there was an increase in innovativeness among internationalizing SMEs with increased participation in EPPs. Finally, participation in EPPs did not show any impact in pro-activeness attribute towards internationalization of SMEs. This study demonstrates the supportive role of institutions in SMEs’ managerial capacity building in overcoming internationalization challenges by developing the culture of risk taking and innovativeness.
