India is primarily a rural region, with more than half of the country’s population and 70 percent of the work force living in rural areas. Approximately 46 percent of national income depends on rural income making it one of the highest contributors of the national economy. Urbanization of inhabitants of rural sector though increasing on an average, it is projected that around 2050 more than half of the national population will be living in rural sectors. Urbanization thus not only affects the economy of the rural sector but, also leaves illiterate farmers back in the village with no manpower and a lot of area. Thus, growth and development of rural economy and population are one of the key factors, to overall growth and comprehensive development of the country. This paper makes an attempt as an assessment in proposing a solution developing a web-based solution for the farmers to find man-power, experts and potential investors for their land. The solution proposed will have different mod
Research on Dynamic PBFT Consensus Algorithm
Authors: Xiaopeng Cao , Linkai Shi
Published: December 2020

The practical Byzantine fault-tolerant algorithm does not add nodes dynamically. It is limited in practical application. In order to add nodes dynamically, Dynamic Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance Algorithm (DPBFT) was proposed. Firstly, a new node sends request information to other nodes in the network. The nodes in the network decide their identities and requests. Then the nodes in the network reverse connect to the new node and send block information of the current network, the new node updates information. Finally, the new node participates in the next round of consensus, changes the view and selects the master node. This paper abstracts the decision of nodes into the undirected connected graph. The final consistency of the graph is used to prove that the proposed algorithm can adapt to the network dynamically. Compared with the PBFT algorithm, DPBFT has better fault tolerance and lower network bandwidth.
Deep & Attentional Crossing Network for Click-through Rate Prediction

Published: December 2020

The problem of Click-through rate(CTR) prediction is the core issue to many real-world applications such as online advertising and recommendation systems. An effective prediction relies on high-order combinatorial features, which are often hand-crafted by experts. Limited by human experience and high implementation costs, combinatorial features cannot be manually captured thoroughly and comprehensively. There have been efforts in improving hand-crafted features automatically by designing feature-generating models such as FMs, DCN, and so on. Despite the great success of these structures, most of the existing models cannot differentiate the high-quality feature interactions from the huge amount of useless feature interactions, which can easily impair their performance. In this paper, we propose a Higher-Order Attentional Network(HOAN) to select high-quality combinatorial features. HOAN is a hierarchical structure, the multiple crossing layers can learn feature interactions of any order in an end-toend manner. Inside the crossing layer, each interaction item has its unique weight with consideration of global information to eliminate useless features and select high-quality features. Besides, HOAN also maintains the integrity of individual feature embedding and offers interpretive feedback to the calculating process. Furthermore, we combine DNN and HOAN, proposing a Deep & Attentional Crossing Network (DACN) to comprehensively model feature interactions from different perspectives. Experiments on sufficient real-world data show that HOAN and DACN outperform state-of-the-art models.

Published: December 2020

Lawn area measurement is an application of image processing and deep learning. Researchers used hierarchical networks, segmented images, and other methods to measure the lawn area. Methods’ effectiveness and accuracy varies. In this project, image processing and deep learning methods were used to find the best way to measure the lawn area. Three image processing methods using OpenCV compared to convolutional neural network, which is one of the most famous, and effective deep learning methods. We used Keras and TensorFlow to estimate the lawn area. Convolutional neural network or shortly CNN shows very high accuracy (94-97%). In image processing methods, thresholding with 80-87% accuracy and edge detection are the most effective methods to measure the lawn area while the method ofcontouring with 26-31% accuracy does not calculate the lawn area successfully. We may conclude that deep learning methods, especially CNN, could be the best detective method comparing to image processing learning techniques.
Application of Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality in Architecture and Planning: an Overview
Authors: Jishtu Pearl , A Yadav Madhura
Published: December 2020

AR and VR – simulation tools created to assist global evolution for saving time. Time as resource is difficult to harness; however, it would make work highly efficient and productive when tackled with automation. All concerned are excited about AR and VR’s involvement in our lifestyle, but not all have comprehended its impact. AR and VR in Architecture & Planning were introduced as assisting tools and has helped generate multiple design options, expanded possibilities of visualization, and provided us with more enhanced, detailed, and specific experience in real-time; enabling us to visualize the result of work at hand well before the commencement of the project. These tools are further being developed for city development decisions, helping citizens interact with local authorities, access public services, and plan their commute. After reviewing multiple research papers on AI, it was observed that all are moving forward with the changes brought by it, without entirely understanding its role. This paper provides an overview of the application of AR & VR in architecture and planning.
Impacts of Secondary Ice Production on Arctic Mixed-Phase
Clouds based on ARM Observations and CESM2
Authors: Zhao Xi , Liu Xiaohong , Phillips Vaughan T. J. , Patade Sachin
Published: December 2020

Abstract. For decades, measured ice crystal number concentrations have been found to be orders of magnitude higher than measured ice nucleating particles in moderately cold clouds. This observed discrepancy reveals the existence of secondary ice production (SIP) in addition to the primary ice nucleation. However, the importance of SIP relative to primary ice nucleation remains highly unclear. Furthermore, most weather and climate models do not represent well the SIP processes, leading to large biases in simulated cloud properties. This study demonstrates a first attempt to represent different SIP mechanisms (frozen raindrop shattering, ice-ice collisional break-up, and rime splintering) in a global climate model (GCM). The model is run in the single column mode to facilitate comparisons with the Department of Energy (DOE)'s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Mixed-Phase Arctic Cloud Experiment (M-PACE) observations. We show the SIP importance in the four types of clouds during M-PACE (i.e., multilayer, and single-layer stratus, transition, and front clouds), with the maximum enhancement in ice crystal number concentration by up to 4 orders of magnitude in the moderately-cold clouds. We reveal that SIP is the dominant source of ice crystals near the cloud base for the long-lived Arctic single-layer mixed-phase clouds. The model with SIP improves the occurrence and phase partitioning of the mixed-phase clouds, reverses the vertical distribution pattern of ice number concentration, and provides a better agreement with observations. The findings of this study highlight the importance of considering the SIP in GCMs.
Effects of spatial resolution of terrain models on modelled discharge
and soil loss in Oaxaca, Mexico

Published: December 2020

Abstract. The effect of spatial resolution of digital terrain models (DTM) on topography and soil erosion modelling is well documented for low resolutions. Nowadays, the availability of high spatial resolution DTM from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) opens new horizons for detailed assessment of soil erosion with hydrological models, but effects of DTM resolution on model outputs at this scale have not been systematically tested. This study combines plot scale soil erosion measurements, UAV-derived DTM, and spatially explicit soil erosion modelling to select an appropriate spatial resolution based on allowable loss of information. During 39 precipitation events, sediment and soil samples were collected on five bounded and unbounded plots and four land covers (forest, fallow, maize, and eroded bare land). Additional soil samples were collected across a 220 ha watershed to generate soil maps. Precipitation was collected by two rain gauges and vegetation was mapped. Two UAV campaigns over the watershed resulted in a 0.60 m spatial resolution DTM used for resampling to 1, 2, 4, 8, and 15 m; and a multispectral orthomosaic to generate a land cover map. The OpenLISEM model was calibrated at plot level at 1 m resolution and then extended to the watershed level at the different DTM resolutions. Resampling the 1 m DTM to lower resolutions resulted in an overall reduction of slope. This reduction was driven by migration of pixels from higher to lower slope values; its magnitude was proportional to resolution. At the watershed outlet, 1 and 2 m resolution models exhibited the largest hydrograph and sedigraph peaks, total runoff and soil loss; they proportionally decreased with resolution. Sedigraphs were more sensitive than hydrographs to spatial resolution, particularly at the highest resolutions. The highest resolution models exhibited a wider range of predicted soil loss due to their larger number of pixels and steeper slopes. The proposed evaluation method showed to be appropriate and transferable for soil erosion modelling studies, indicating that 4 m resolution (
Brief communication: Accelerated glacier mass loss in the Russian
Arctic (2010–2017)

Published: December 2020

Abstract. Glaciers in the Russian High Arctic have been subject to extensive warming due to global climate change, yet their contribution to sea level rise has been relatively small over the past decades. Here we show surface elevation change measurements and geodetic mass balances of 93 % of all glacierized areas of Novaya Zemlya, Severnaya Zemlya and Franz Josef Land using interferometric synthetic aperture radar measurements taken between 2010 and 2017. We calculate an overall mass loss 10 rate of −23 ± 5 Gt a−1, corresponding to a sea level rise contribution of 0.06 ± 0.01 mm a−1. Compared to measurements prior to 2010, mass loss of glaciers on the Russian archipelagos has doubled in recent years.
Morphological marking of contrast in Tima
Authors: Becker Laura , Schneider-Blum Gertrud
Published: December 2020

Tima (Niger-Congo, Sudan) has two morphological means to express contrast: focus marking and selective marking. We take the distribution of both marking options and their interaction as evidence for a broad approach to contrast, the latter being a gradient phenomenon rather than a categorical one. We show for Tima that exhaustivity and unexpectedness play a role in determining the strength of the contrast, with the selective marker and focus marker occurring with weaker and stronger types of contrast respectively. While the selective marker signals the existence of a set of alternatives singling out one alternative, the focus marker requires that the information under focus is either exhaustive or unexpected.
Syntactic analyses of discourse particles through the microvariation of Basque ote
Authors: Monforte Sergio
Published: December 2020

In this article I look into dialectal data related to Basque discourse particles and I provide evidence that topics discussed in the literature on discourse particles can also be addressed within Basque microvariation. Four syntactically different types of the particle ote are examined: first, the general pattern found in all dialects where ote functions as a head and occupies a position in the TP-domain; second, the use typical of the eastern dialects where ote behaves as a maximal projection and is located in the CP-domain; furthermore, the configuration formed by wh-words and the discourse particle ote only found in the North-Eastern Basque; and, finally, a novel type of ote only used in the far east of the Eastern Basque (included the Souletin Basque, Amikuze’s variety and also the disappeared variety from the Roncalese valley) which functions as a sentence final particle occurring after all constituents of the clause and, apparently, conveying an intersubjective interpretation, unlike its canonical behaviour. Along with the syntactic data, phonological-prosodic and interpretational evidence also point to the same direction, i.e. to differentiate those four types of ote. This microvariation displayed by the particle ote allows us to compare the different syntactic statuses and positions claimed for discourse particles side by side in the same language; thus, the analysis of their separate properties attains a significant improvement.
O que é ser educador infantil? O trabalho nas creches na perspectiva das educadoras
Authors: Gabbi Polli Rodrigo , Lopes Rita De Cassia Sobreira
Published: December 2020

O presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar o que é ser educador infantil na perspectiva das educadoras. Foi utilizado um delineamento de estudo de caso coletivo. Participaram dessa pesquisa quinze educadoras de duas creches públicas federais de Porto Alegre/RS. As educadoras responderam a entrevistas, e as suas respostas foram examinadas através de análise de conteúdo qualitativa. Os resultados evidenciaram que um movimento de escolarização pode estar acontecendo em algumas Instituições de Educação Infantil do Brasil. Apesar disso, tanto o cuidar quanto o educar foram reconhecidos pelas educadoras como importantes, especialmente no trabalho com bebês. As profissionais não valorizaram apenas o cuidar ou o educar de forma excludente, mas pareceram buscar integrar as suas funções, o que reflete o momento de transição em que as creches se encontram. Por fim, destaca-se a importância de se pensar um novo modelo de atuação para as creches que contemple as especificidades dos bebês e das crianças pequenas.
Avaliação de controle discriminativo por elementos de estímulos visuais compostos em tarefas de discriminação simples em pré-escolares
Authors: Conti Lilian Maria Carminato , Postalli Lidia Maria Marson
Published: December 2020

O controle de estímulos exercido por algumas propriedades ou aspectos de um estímulo antecedente contingente ao reforço é definido como controle restrito de estímulos. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar o controle discriminativo por elementos de estímulos visuais compostos em tarefas de discriminação simples. Participaram catorze pré-escolares (seis com autismo e oito com desenvolvimento típico) entre quatro e seis anos de idade. O procedimento envolveu o ensino de discriminação simples entre um par de estímulos visuais compostos por dois elementos. Em seguida, foram realizadas sondas para avaliar o controle discriminativo por cada elemento do estímulo composto (S+ e S-). Todas as crianças responderam aos dois elementos do S+ e não responderam, ou responderam com baixa frequência, aos elementos do S- dos três pares de estímulos treinados e avaliados separadamente. Os resultados demonstraram que os pré-escolares com autismo e desenvolvimento típico responderam sob controle dos elementos dos estímulos S+. O investimento no estudo do controle restrito de estímulos pode contribuir na compreensão desse fenômeno como um processo comportamental básico.

Published: December 2020

O presente trabalho se organiza como uma revisão sistemática que visa mapear as publicações de investigações psicanalíticas indexadas em bases de dados referente ao tema criatividade articulado à dança. Elegeu-se as bases de dados SciELO, PePSIC, PsycInfo, LILACS, BVS, CLASE, Web of Science e Scopus e aplicou-se os critérios de inclusão e exclusão no material encontrado. No levantamento inicial, foram encontrados 114 registros de textos disponíveis; destes, retirou-se os duplos e os que não atenderam aos critérios, formando o banco de dados final com oito textos. Aglomerou-se os textos selecionados em duas categorias de análise sendo elas: Criatividade, Dança e Psicoterapia; Criatividade, Dança e Dinâmica Psíquica. O trabalho conclui que, apesar da criatividade ser tema recorrente na psicanálise, há uma baixa produção no que se refere à dança, o que indica que estudos com esse alvo de investigação carecem ser realizados.
“Tornar-se mãe”: Alto nível de estresse na gravidez e maternidade após o nascimento
Authors: Cunha Ana Cristina , Eroles Nicole Melo dos Santos , Resende Luísa De Mello
Published: December 2020

Concepções do imaginário social sobre o gênero feminino definem a maternidade como sinônimo de amor incondicional e dedicação integral ao filho, o que pode resultar em estresse para a mulher, quando esta entende que deve se adequar às demandas impostas pelo “ser mãe”. Ao considerar a gravidez como um fenômeno biopsicossocial, pode-se supor que existem relações entre o estresse típico da gestação, que pode ainda se agravar com as exigências da gravidez e as influências de pressões socioculturais, que legitimam o que é ser mãe e mulher. As relações entre estresse gestacional, maternidade e função materna foram analisadas, adotando a perspectiva sistêmica, em um estudo qualitativo com 15 mulheres com altos níveis de estresse na gravidez entrevistadas após o nascimento. O discurso das participantes foi analisado nas categorias: (1) Expectativas sobre maternidade na gestação e mudanças após o nascimento”; (2) “Responsabilidade da mãe, dedicação à maternidade e função materna”; (3) “Maternidade como função sagrada e o lugar do bebê na família”. Considerando as pressões socioculturais para a mulher ser mãe, sugere-se existir um “ideário materno contemporâneo”, em que situações estressoras afetam a vivência da maternidade desde a gestação.
O estudo concreto do desenvolvimento da infância e da adolescência e suas contribuições para a educação
Authors: Pereira Angelina Pandita , Magalhães Giselle Modé , Pasqualini Juliana Campregher
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo discute o estudo concreto da infância e da adolescência a partir das contribuições da psicologia histórico-cultural. São apresentados os conceitos de atividade, atividade-guia, situação social de desenvolvimento, linhas acessórias do desenvolvimento, consciência e neoformação em cada período da vida, buscando articular com elementos da realidade capitalista brasileira e as desigualdades de classe, raça e gênero. Para tal, percorremos as três épocas (Elkonin, 1987) do desenvolvimento propostas por estudos soviéticos em um contexto de luta por condições iguais de vida, quais sejam: primeira infância, infância e adolescência. Ao apresentar cada época, explicitamos os desafios ainda postos para compreendermos concretamente o desenvolvimento humano no Brasil. E, ao final, apresentamos alguns desafios ainda postos à educação. Conclui-se que o desenvolvimento almejado ocorrerá diante de condições que o possibilitem, envolvendo: i) o contexto social mais amplo (demandas que a sociedade oferece às nossas crianças e jovens e condições efetivas providas para sua realização); ii) a organização do ensino e como esse operacionaliza essas demandas em termos de forma e conteúdo, de maneira a potencializar o desenvolvimento das pessoas, promovendo necessidades e motivos para a emergência da atividade-guia, atentando aos efeitos das desigualdades de classe, raça e gênero no processo de desenvolvimento.
A formação de valores no processo educativo do sujeito concreto
Authors: Mesquita Afonso Mancuso de
Published: December 2020

A formação de valores é um tema inexplorado pela psicologia concreta. No Brasil, seu debate é feito majoritariamente na perspectiva piagetiana. Propomos, neste artigo, iniciar uma análise concreta de seu desenvolvimento. Partimos do pressuposto de que os valores, como unidades da moral, têm natureza cultural e se originam no processo histórico do trabalho. A extensão da valoração para outros campos da vida social cria os valores sociais e a moral. Os valores se desenvolvem como unidade entre processos afetivos e cognitivos, têm base emocional dinâmica e se transformam diretamente pela conceitualização do pensamento. Originam-se como necessidade emocional de bem-estar e chegam a juízos lógicos com fortes implicações subjetivas. Os valores nos mobilizam racional e emocionalmente e medeiam escolhas, uma vez que são parâmetros das alternativas que temos nas ações. A moral se consolida na personalidade a partir da adolescência, quando surgem convicções morais conscientes e a pessoa jovem é capaz de ligar sua própria conduta às relações sociais gerais. A educação valorativa é complexa, pois precisa alterar conceitos e a posição emocional das pessoas frente a relações sociais, isto é, alterar a sociabilidade em um sentido crítico e criar relações coletivizadas para se efetivar.
O que é a Psicologia Concreta? Reflexões politzerianas em torno do problema da crise da psicologia
Authors: Carvalho Bruno Peixoto
Published: December 2020

Este artigo dedica-se a – a partir da análise da Crítica dos fundamentos da Psicologia, de Georges Politzer – caracterizar a psicologia concreta. O texto em tela resulta de pesquisa que objetiva identificar as semelhanças e diferenças nas análises da crise da psicologia da década de 1920 feitas por Vigotski e Politzer. O material apresentado dedica-se, em particular, a esse último autor. A análise aqui apresentada organiza-se em torno dos fundamentos da psicologia clássica, tal qual caracterizados por Politzer: a) a elementaridade do psíquico e a abstração do sentido; b) a análise da vida interior e dos processos internos; c) a apreensão imediata do fenômeno psicológico e o problema do método direto; e d) o postulado da convencionalidade da significação. A análise aqui empreendida ainda faz remissão à psicologia histórico-cultural, na medida em que ela se encontra com as apreciações politzerianas, e a outras escolas de psicologia não tratadas diretamente por Politzer. Por fim, apresenta-se um conjunto de questões em torno da psicologia concreta que configuram um interessante programa de pesquisa, a saber: a necessidade de um inventário crítico da crise da psicologia contemporaneamente; a identificação da psicologia histórico-cultural com a psicologia concreta; uma definição provisória da psicologia concreta.
A educação escolar, dinâmica de formação do caráter e a concretização do processo de formação dos valores pessoais
Authors: Da Silva Célia Regina , Rosa Júlia Mazinini
Published: December 2020

Este texto tem como objetivo desvelar as determinações que tornam a educação escolar uma das atividades humanas responsáveis por compor a dinâmica do processo de formação de valores orientadores das atitudes dos indivíduos. Iniciamos estabelecendo relações entre a sociedade, a educação escolar e o processo de formação dos indivíduos. Em seguida apresentamos características gerais da dinâmica de formação do caráter segundo a psicologia histórico-cultural – explicitado como produto da atividade concreta dos indivíduos – de modo a expor alguns determinantes que recaem sobre a formulação dos valores orientadores das condutas individuais. Neste processo, buscamos tornar evidente a inevitável incidência da educação escolar sobre a formação da conduta dos estudantes. Finalizamos com a análise de situações concretas observadas no cotidiano de uma escola de educação infantil e extraídas da tese de doutoramento de uma das autoras (Silva, 2017). Apresentamos, então, algumas perspectivas para a formulação intencional e sistematizada de práticas educativas em que se busque transmitir valoração positiva em relação aos interesses coletivos universais como condição para o efetivo desenvolvimento individual.

Published: December 2020

Integrated reporting is a developing reporting aspect in order to assess problems relating to corporate reporting. It provides a comprehensive account of organizational worth. This paper aims to assess whether integrated reporting and organizational capital increase the value relevance of firms. A checklist containing 100 integrated reports of banks which are listed in Colombo stock exchange were used for the analysis. Data were collected over the period from 2010 to 2019. Statistical analysis was done using the EWIS. Finding reveals that the book value of equity, earnings before interest and taxation of the equity of the bank, leverage of the bank and Organizational capital have a direct effect on the market value of equity of the bank while return on equity and size does not have a positive impact on the market value of equity of the bank. And to the best of our knowledge, it reveals that there is a significant effect of integrated reporting on the value relevance of organizations. Future research avenues were identified and the suggestions for future research on integrated reporting were provided. The findings bring out different implications for managers, decision-makers and the research community as well. This study further expands the existing knowledge on integrated reporting and sets the foundation for future researchers.
Choice Overload in the Grocery Setting: Results from a Laboratory Experiment
Authors: Grandi Benedetta , Cardinali Maria Grazia
Published: December 2020

One of the most basic strategic decisions a retailer must take involves determining the product assortment to offer inside the store. Despite the importance of the topic, there are two opposite strands of literature that have come up with completely different points of view. To summarize them, the first one states that the more choices, the better, while the second one states that more choices lead to weaker preferences and lower levels of satisfaction. Furthermore, the majority of studies conducted so far have focused their attention on collecting self-report measures. However, it has been argued thet self-report measures, interviews and questionnaires may have strong biases. Specifically, they are a product of psychological, sociological, linguistic, experiential and contextual variables, which may have little to do with the construct of interest. Thus, the present work intends to enrich the extant literature about the effect of ‘choice overload’ on customer satisfaction and behavior inside the store by analyzing both cognitive and unconscious responses. In order to confirm our hypothesis, an experiment, involving 171 participants, was conducted in a laboratory supermarket in Milan to test the reactions in front of a regular pastry display and a display characterized by fewer options.

Erfrecht in de onderwereld (deel V): de onwaardige echtgenoot in het huwelijksvermogensrecht

In deze bijdrage wordt besproken of de voor het erfrecht onwaardige echtgenoot diens huwelijksvermogensrechtelijke aanspraak ook verliest. Er is namelijk geen huwelijksvermogensrechtelijke onwaardigheidsregeling. De civiele rechter heeft een eigen afweging bij de vraag of de onwaardige echtgenoot huwelijksvermogensrechtelijk kan verkrijgen. Als echtgenoten huwelijkse voorwaarden maken en een finaal verrekenbeding bij overlijden willen overeenkomen, kan op de mogelijke toekomstige erfrechtelijke onwaardigheid worden voorgesorteerd door dan het finaal verrekenbeding niet te laten werken.

De lo anodino al exceso. Una lectura de la novela Conspiración en el país de Tata Batata de Ezequiel Martínez Estrada
Authors: Gasillón María Lourdes
Published: December 2020

La novela inconclusa Conspiración en el país de Tata Batata (2014) de Ezequiel Martínez Estrada presenta puntos de conexión entre sí, como la aparición de ciertos personajes y temas que atraviesan los microrrelatos. Entre ellos, destaca una epidemia de tiña que comenzó en un barrio indigente y una niña de allí que vende productos para sobrevivir. Ambas escenas son moldeadas por determinados recursos (ironía e hipérbole) que invierten el sentido negativo de la tiña, la pedofilia y la explotación infantil. Así, la expansión de la peste y la pobreza forman parte de una “normalidad” sin cuestionamientos, porque dejan de provocar temor, asombro o reprobación entre los personajes.

Published: December 2020

Este trabajo se centra en el análisis del texto “Veinte de robots” (2012) del escritor mexicano Alberto Chimal. Después de situarlo con respecto a la modalidad cienciaficcional cyberpunk de finales del siglo XX (en continuidad y divergencia), el artículo muestra cómo el texto opera, al recurrir a la parodia, una amalgama entre extrapolación (proyección futurista) y analogía (parábola de nuestra contemporaneidad). Se observarán las distintas maneras en que las identidades, ya sean genéricas, ya sean colectivas o individuales, se ven sacudidas por el humor, así como las maneras en que el espacio textual se hace caleidoscópico al ser sitio de juegos intertextuales y metatextuales (e incluso architextuales) en los que el hibridismo es clave.

Assessment of Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Tunisian Barley Accessions (Hordeum vulgare L.) Using SSR Markers
Authors: Marzougui Salem , Kharrat Mohamed , Ben Younes Mongi
Published: December 2020

In barley breeding programs, information about genetic dissimilarity and population structure is very important for genetic diversity conservation and new cultivar development. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic variation in Tunisian barley accessions (Hordeum vulgare L.) based on simple sequence repeat (SSR). A total of 89 alleles were detected at 26 SSR loci. The allele number per locus ranged from two to five, with an average of 3.4 alleles per locus detected from 32 barley accessions, and the average value of polymorphic information content was 0.45. A cluster analysis based on genetic similarity was performed, and the 32 barley resources were classified into five groups. Principal coordinates (PCoA) explained 12.5% and 9.3% of the total variation, and the PCoA was largely consistent with the results of cluster separation of STRUCTURE software analysis. The analysis of genetic diversity in barley collection will facilitate cultivar development and effective use of genetic resources.

Published: December 2020

Background: While social media have an immense effect on children and adolescent interactions, they also have serious and potential effects on physical and mental health. Cyberbullying, as a form of bullying using electronic means, is an example of this trend. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of cyber-related behaviors and some of their related factors among high school students in Tehran. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytical study examining cyber behaviors in students in grades 7, 8, and 9. Since our study was conducted in line with an international study, we used the questionnaire of that research to collect data. Some of the characteristics of the adolescents and behavioral problems associated with them were examined, and students' experiences of cyberbullying and cybervictimization were asked in this study. A multi-stage cluster sampling was performed. The statistical population consisted of students from five districts of north, south, west, east, and center regions of Tehran, in which 1,456 questionnaires were completed. Results: The prevalence rate of cyberbullying was 22.3% while that of cybervictimization was 18%. It was also demonstrated that both trends were more significant in boys than in girls. Other parameters such as substance use, body thought scale, school environment difficulties, peer, conduct, and emotional problems had significant correlations with cybervictimization (P = 0.03 for peer problems to P < 0.001 for emotional problems) and cyberbullying (P < 0.04 for peer problems to P < 0.001 for school environment). A significant relationship was also found between prosocial problems and cyberbullying (P = 0.01). Conclusions: Cyberbullying and cybervictimization are more prevalent in boys than in girls. This phenomenon is related to many physical and mental health problems. This evidence can be used to inform decision-makers in the social arena to provide strategies for preventive programs and future interventions.

Background: The increased use of antibiotics has led to the frequent occurrence of resistant bacterial strains᾽ infections and increased side effects. It is inevitable that medicinal plants and their good antimicrobial activities for controlling and curing different infectious diseases is always a salient feature of various investigations. Also, understanding the plant species in the light of the Holy Quran, religious texts, and the sacred books could make a useful contribution to studying two significant plants used as ancient and reliable medicines. Objectives: The present research used two plants for medicinal products to evaluate their antimicrobial activity. Ziziphus spina-christi (sider) is a medicinal and traditional plant and ethanol and methanol extracts of its leaves have been used against some bacterial and viral infections. Another herbal remedy is Tamarix aphylla with the local name of Ghaz, as the largest known species of Tamarix. The stem smoke of Tamarix aphylla is used by people in the desert area as an antibiotic and antimicrobial agent. Methods: The leaves of Ziziphus spina-christi and Tamarix aphylla were collected to extract their flavonoids and alkaloids using methanol and ethanol, respectively. Moreover, in the process of extraction, powdered and dried leaves by using disc diffusion testing and undiluted neat solution were prepared. Results: The extracted phytochemicals exhibited antimicrobial activity of the two plants through alkaloids and flavonoids as secondary metabolites. Substantial influences on impairing the energy metabolism weakened microbial growth, resulting in the fat formation and protein inhibition. Conclusions: It was concluded that flavonoids and alkaloids from Ziziphus spina-christi and Tamarix aphylla leaves have antimicrobial potential. On the other hand, the process of cell division can be affected by alkaloids that are bound to DNA. Also, flavonoids bind to DNA and RNA, resulting in impairing energy metabolism causing the weakened growth of the microbe affecting protein inhibition and fat formation. Viral cell walls are made up of proteins. Coronavirus spike proteins and viral membrane fusions are wonderful molecules. Through binding to the host cell surface receptor, coronaviruses enter host cells and then fuse the host and viral membranes. Through precipitating the protein components, tannins in Ziziphus spina-christi behave as detoxifying agents by inhibiting their growth.

Despite decades of research, we lack a mechanistic framework capable of predicting how movement-related signals are transformed into the diversity of muscle spindle afferent firing patterns observed experimentally, particularly in naturalistic behaviors. Here, a biophysical model demonstrates that well-known firing characteristics of mammalian muscle spindle Ia afferents – including movement history dependence, and nonlinear scaling with muscle stretch velocity – emerge from first principles of muscle contractile mechanics. Further, mechanical interactions of the muscle spindle with muscle-tendon dynamics reveal how motor commands to the muscle (alpha drive) versus muscle spindle (gamma drive) can cause highly variable and complex activity during active muscle contraction and muscle stretch that defy simple explanation. Depending on the neuromechanical conditions, the muscle spindle model output appears to ‘encode’ aspects of muscle force, yank, length, stiffness, velocity, and/or acceleration, providing an extendable, multiscale, biophysical framework for understanding and predicting proprioceptive sensory signals in health and disease.
De Edith Stein a Teresa Benedicta de la Cruz. El encuentro con Cristo, desde la experiencia como clave de acceso
Authors: Díaz Lazcano María de la Paz
Published: December 2020

Simbólicamente la transición del nombre de Edith Stein a Teresa Benedicta de la Cruz, señala un proceso religioso espiritual que el artículo interpreta como una experiencia progresiva de encuentro con Cristo. Bajo la noción de experiencia como modo de conocimiento, se recogen hitos del proceso espiritual de Edith Stein desde su época como integrante del círculo de Gotinga, hasta su vivencia como carmelita, anunciando su muerte martirial. Se describe una progresión de la experiencia, desde el conocimiento de otro, hasta el conocimiento de Dios, mediada por el encuentro con Cristo, que se sellará en el holocausto expiatorio, vivido como experiencia de configuración con él.

Bu araştırmada Salihli Romanlarının tarihleri, göçleri ile ilgili bilgiler verilip, içlerindeki müzikle uğraşanlar hakkında bilgilerin yerinde tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Elde edilen bilgiler nitel araştırma türü olan yarı yapılandırılmış
görüşme tekniğinin, Salihli'nin Şehitler ve Atatürk mahallesinde ikamet eden müzikle uğraşan Romanlara uygulanmasıyla elde edilmiştir. Salihli’deki müzikle uğraşan Romanlar Türkçe, Romanca ve Bulgarca dillerini bilmekte ve bu dillerde
söylenen şarkıları söylemektedirler. Kullandıkları çalgılar, üflemeli çalgılardan: alto saksafon, ney, klarnet, zurna; vurmalı çalgılardan: davul, tef, asma davul ve darbuka; telli çalgılardan: ud, cümbüş, bağlama ve kanun; tuşlu
çalgılardan: org, piyano ve akordiyon; yaylı çalgılardan da kemandır. Müziklerini icra ettikleri sosyal ortamlar en çok düğün/nişan gibi etkinliklerdir. Düğün, nişan gibi etkinliklerin dışında festival, konser, gazino, restoran,
pavyon, sünnet, bar, otel, kına ve televizyon gibi yerlerde müzik icra etmektedirler. Müzikle uğraşan Salihli Romanları çalgıcılık dışında besteler de yapmışlardır. Bu besteler dım dım Ali ve abe kaynana ismindedir. Ayrıca, katılımcılar
arasında kaset albümü yapan da bulunmaktadır. Roman çalgıcıların icra ettikleri müzik türleri Türk halk müziği, Türk sanat müziği, popüler müzik, caz müziği ve diğer müzik türlerinden oluşmaktadır. Salihli’deki müzikle uğraşan
Romanların yaşları 28 ila 70 aralığındadır. Aralarında okuma, yazma bilmeyen olduğu gibi, en çok okuyanları lise öğrenimini tamamlamıştır. Müzik aleti çalmayı, müzik kurslarına giderek ya da büyüklerinden öğrenmişlerdir. İçlerinden
bazıları ana dillerinin Türkçe olduğunu, bazıları ise Romanca olduğunu açıklamışlardır.

Çin’in Wuhan şehrinde ortaya çıkarak tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alarak bir pandemi haline gelen Covid-19 virüsü, tüm sektörleri olduğu gibi hava taşımacılığı sektörünü de ciddi anlamda etkilemektedir. Covid-19 pandemisi nedeniyle havayolu
işletmeleri gelirlerinin çok büyük bir kısmını kaybederken, aynı zamanda maliyetlerinde de artış meydan gelmiştir. Gelirlerin kaybedilmesi ve maliyetlerin artmasına bağlı olarak birçok havayolu işletmesi finansal zorluk yaşamaya
başlamış, bazı havayolu işletmeleri iflas ettiklerini açıklamış, bazıları da iflas etmemek için belirli sayıda çalışan ile yollarını ayırmak zorunda kalmıştır. Havayolu işletmeleri Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde gelir elde etmeye ya
da rekabet avantajı elde etmeye değil, hayatta kalmaya çalışmaktadırlar. Dolayısıyla havayolu işletmelerinin hayatta kalabilmeleri için çeşitli stratejiler geliştirmeleri gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren
havayolu işletmelerinin Covid-19 pandemisindeki SWOT analizleri gerçekleştirilmiş ve analiz sonuçlarına göre çeşitli stratejiler önerilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri akademik çalışmalar, işletmelerin faaliyet ve finansal raporları
ve medyada yer alan haberlerden toplanmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda havayolu işletmelerinin çok az güçlü yönü olduğu görülmüştür. Buna karşın işletmelerin zayıf yönlerinin ve sektörel ve genel çevrelerinde ortaya çıkabilecek
tehditlerin oldukça fazla olduğu görülmüştür. Tüm bunlara bağlı olarak havayolu işletmeleri için yolcu uçaklarının kargo taşımacılığı için kullanılması, yurtiçi ve yurtdışında bilgilendirme çalışmaları yapılması, düşük fiyatlı
yakıtın hedge edilmesi, bölgesel uçakların değerlendirilmesi, uzun dönemli ve düşük faizli kredilerin araştırılması, filoda bulunan talep fazlası uçakların kiralanması ya da satılması, devlet desteği için lobi faaliyetleri yapılması
ve yurtiçi destinasyonların sayısının artırılması gibi stratejiler önerilmiştir.

Kamu gelirleri arasında önemli bir paya sahip olan vergilerin mali ve mali olmayan amaçlar kapsamında eksiksiz olarak tahsil edilmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bunun için kamu idareleri çeşitli caydırıcı ve teşvik edici yollara başvurmakta
ve etkin bir vergi denetim sistemi kurmaya çalışmaktadır. Vergi denetimleri mükelleflerin vergisel ödevlerini yasal mevzuata uygun olarak yerine getirip getirmediği çeşitli teknikler ile denetlenmekte ve vergi gelirlerinin en az
kayıpla tahsil edilmesi hedeflenmektedir. Buna göre etkin bir vergi denetimi ile vergilemede adalet ve eşitlik sağlanarak mükelleflerin vergi ahlakı, vergi kültürü, vergi bilinci ve vergi uyumu iyileştirilmekte, bu da vergi gelirlerinde
artışa yol açmaktadır. Buradan hareketle çalışmada, Türkiye için 1985-2018 dönemini kapsayan yıllık veriler kullanılarak vergi denetim oranı ile tahakkuk-tahsilat oranı arasındaki ilişki zaman serisi analiziyle incelenmiştir. Analizde,
serilerin uzun dönemde eşbütünleşik olduğu görülmüş ve uzun dönem eşbütünleşme katsayısına bakıldığında, denetim oranındaki (DO) % 1’lik artışın tahakkuk-tahsilat oranını (TTO) % 5,35 seviyesinde artırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Öte
yandan seriler arasındaki kısa dönem analiz sonucuna göre denetim oranındaki (DO) % 1’lik artış, tahakkuk-tahsil oranını (TTO) % 0,45 düzeyinde artırmış ve bu sonuç, DO ile TTO arasında doğrusal bir ilişkinin varlığını göstermiştir.
Son olarak Granger nedensellik testi sonucuna göre, denetim oranından tahakkuk-tahsilat oranına doğru tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisinin varlığına ulaşılmıştır.
