A kompetenciák fontossága az életpálya során: az Észak-Alföldi régió pedagógusainak vizsgálata
Authors: Kovács Edina
Published: June 2021

A pedagógusok folyamatos szakmai fejlődése az utóbbi bő évtized kitüntetett szakmai kérdésévé vált. A szakmai fejlődést a kompetenciafejlődéssel definiáló életpályamodellek a tudományos párbeszédhez képest kevésbé komplex módon foglalkoznak nemcsak az intézményi és a környezeti hatásokkal, a pályaelhagy ással, de a szakmai identitás és a reflektivitás fejlődésével is, ugy anakkor a pályán levő pedagógusok elsősorban az őket érintő szakpolitikai dokumentumokban találkoznak a kompetenciák fogalmával. Kutatásunk során azt vizsgáltuk, hogy a pályájuk első harmadában járó pedagógusok milyen kompetenciákat tartanak fontosnak, valamint, hogy mennyire elkötelezettek a pedagóguspálya mellett. Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy a hazai életpályamodellben leírt kompetenciák fontossága nem differenciálódik pályaszakaszok szerint, így például a problémamegoldó kompetencia fejlesztését minden megkérdezett lényegesnek tartja, míg a reflektivitást minden pályaszakaszban kevéssé értékelték fontosnak a megkérdezettek.

Tanulmányunkban arra vállalkozunk, hogy megvizsgáljuk magyarországi angoltanárok és tanárjelöltek nyelvtudásmérési és értékelési műveltségét azzal összefüggésben, hogy mennyire érzik magukat magabiztosnak egyes mérési és értékelési területen, illetve milyen (tovább)képzési igényeik vannak az egyes témakörökre vonatkozóan. Kutatásunk arra is kitér, hogy a válaszadók mely mérési és értékelési formákat használják a leggyakrabban az angolórákon. A kapott eredmények alapján megállapítható, hogy az órákon a hagyományos, eredmény-orientált nyelvtudásmérési és értékelési formák dominálnak. A tanulóközpontú, alternatív értékelési formák használata jóval kisebb arányú, és ezek iránt mutatkozik a legnagyobb (tovább)képzési igény. A válaszadók nyelvtudásmérési és értékelési magabiztosságában szignifikáns eltérést találtunk egyes régiókra és válaszadói csoportokra vonatkozóan, mely a képzési előmenetelhez és igényekhez, valamint tanítási tapasztalathoz köthető. Végül, ajánlásokat fogalmazunk meg a nyelvtanárképzésre vonatkozóan.
"Tourism Brings Good Things": Tourism and Community Development in Rural Papua New Guinea
Authors: N'Dower Fiona , Moscardo Gianna , Murphy Laurie
Published: June 2021

Many governments and NGOs have argued for using tourism, especially community-based tourism (CBT), as a development tool. While this tourism option is often described as more sustainable in terms of contributions to destination community well-being, there is only a limited understanding
of the processes that actually underpin CBT and its outcomes in peripheral destinations. This article argues that one reason for this limited understanding is that research into CBT has typically been conducted from a Western perspective with little consideration given to historical and political
contexts of colonization and disempowerment. This article reports on a research study that used an alternative, culturally appropriate research methodology with 12 rural PNG villages that had self-initiated CBT ventures and that specifically sought to give these village communities a voice
in understanding how CBT can be developed to be one part of larger sustainable community development processes. Major findings included: a positive view of tourism as an additional source of income that fitted well with existing sustainable livelihoods; strong connection between development
decisions and the core Melanesian values of clan identity, leadership, and support from elders, community cooperation and reciprocity in the successful maintenance of tourism activities; the need to manage the entire supply chain and not be limited by the actions and power of external tourism
operators and agents; the need for education and training in many aspects of tourism to enhance entrepreneurial approaches and greater returns from the supply chain; and the challenge of gender issues.

Published: June 2021

The research includes the partial purification of dipeptidyl peptidase-4(Dpp-4) from a person’s natural serum.The enzyme was purified in three steps, precipitation by ammonium sulfate (50%), dialysis and gel filtration by Sephadex G-100. The results showed a significant increase of Dpp-4 activity and specific activity,and a decrease in total activity after purification.The descent of the purified enzyme with the highest activity from the separation column was identical to the descending of the protein with the highest activity. The inhibitory activity of nitrile derivatives that were used on the purified enzyme was studied. Nitrile derivatives were used to inhibit the activity of the Dpp-4, selected based on similarity in sites of effective groups between derivatives and anti-hyperglycemic drugs (Dpp-4 inhibitors type). The results show an inhibitory effect by the two nitrile derivatives with different concentrations.These inhibitors can work to reduce the level of blood sugar in people with diabetes. Moreover,Molecular docking was exerted to understand interaction mechanism of the compounds against Dpp-4 at atomic level based on experimental processes.

Recent reviews on the use of experience-based food insecurity scales in the Indian context suggested the addition of "how often" related items to food insecurity modules to avoid overestimation of food insecurity, especially in underprivileged communities. Following this recommendation, we adapted the 8-item Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES), an official tool for measuring access to food within the Sustainable Development Goals (target 2.1), and assessed its validity and reliability in socially-backward communities in the Indian context. The polytomous Rasch model was successfully applied and soundly integrated within the probabilistic methodology already in use for the FIES, allowing the computation of comparable prevalence of food insecurity at different levels of severity and related measures of uncertainty. Data from the SWABHIMAAN programme survey, which collected information on food insecurity from mothers of children under two years of age in three Indian states (Bihar, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh), was used for analysis. Results suggest that the proposed adapted version of the FIES can be considered as a proper tool for measuring food insecurity in underprivileged communities, since it satisfies requirements of internal and external validity and reliability. Individual determinants and protective factors of food insecurity were also investigated within this methodological framework and results suggest that education, economic wealth, and homestead kitchen garden can act as a buffer against food insecurity, while the number of pregnancies seems to exacerbate a situation of food insecurity.

The principal purpose of the study is to determine the main parameters of corporate security development in the enterprise in the context of determining the level of impact of external and internal threats. The study uses survey methods on the main internal and external threats that may affect the corporate security of enterprises. The purpose of the practical part of our study is to determine the level of these threats to corporate security. The methodological basis of our study is the method of expert evaluation, which was conducted by interviewing people involved in the process of corporate security management of enterprises, as well as methods of the hierarchical organization using matrices of pair-wise comparisons. The major results of the study can be considered determining the hierarchy of influence of each of the threats affecting the corporate security of industrial enterprises, which will allow optimizing the security system and directing its activities to more pressing issues. Our method of the hierarchical organization of threats to corporate security does not take into account the specifics of the corporate security system of industrial enterprises in most European countries and now can be freely implemented mainly in industrial enterprises of Eastern Europe. The proposed method of assessing external and internal threats is currently optimized for the activities of industrial enterprises in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine and Poland. In the following, at an expansion of the given research, there is a possibility of introducting this methodology to the enterprises of other countries or other profiles. The relevance of this study lies in determining the level of threats that affect the corporate security of industrial enterprises. The methodology for assessing the level of influence of these threats is universal, therefore it can be used in the event of a change in the main threats, it is extremely relevant in the context of rapid globalization changes in the world.
THE SIMPLIFIED ANALYSIS OF THE ASYMMETRIC SINGLE-PYLON SUSPENSION BRIDGE WITH RIGID CABLES
Authors: Grigorjeva Tatjana , Paeglitis Ainars
Published: June 2021

Suspension bridges are characterized by exceptional architectural expressions and excellent technical and economic properties. However, despite all advantages, suspension bridges have a few negative features. Suspension bridges with flexible cables share excessive deformation caused by the displacement of kinematic origin. In order to increase the stiffness of suspension bridges, an innovative structural solution refers to rigid cables used instead of the flexible ones. The paper describes a methodology for calculating an asymmetric single-pylon suspension bridge with rigid cables considering installation features. Also, the article presents the numerical simulation of the bridge and determines the accuracy of the proposed methodology.

We show that the perturbation at the peak of the light curve of microlensing event KMT-2019-BLG-0371 is explained by a model with a mass ratio between the host star and planet of q ∼ 0.08. Due to the short event duration (t
E ∼ 6.5 days), the secondary object in this system could potentially be a massive giant planet. A Bayesian analysis shows that the system most likely consists of a host star with a mass

. However, the interpretation of the secondary as a planet (i.e., as having M

Jup) rests entirely on the Bayesian analysis. Motivated by this event, we conduct an investigation to determine which constraints meaningfully affect Bayesian analyses for microlensing events. We find that the masses inferred from such a Bayesian analysis are determined almost entirely by the measured value of θ
E and are relatively insensitive to other factors such as the direction of the event (ℓ, b), the lens–source relative proper motion μ
rel, or the specific Galactic model prior.
Gyroresonance and Free–Free Radio Emissions from Multithermal Multicomponent Plasma
Authors: Fleishman Gregory D. , Kuznetsov Alexey A. , Landi Enrico
Published: June 2021

The solar atmosphere contains thermal plasma at a wide range of temperatures. This plasma is often quantified, in both observations and models, by a differential emission measure (DEM). The DEM is a distribution of the thermal electron density squared over temperature. In observations, the DEM is computed along a line of sight, while in the modeling it is over an elementary volume element (voxel). This description of the multithermal plasma is convenient and widely used in the analysis and modeling of extreme ultraviolet emission, which has an optically thin character. However, there is no corresponding treatment in the radio domain, where the optical depth of emission can be large, more than one emission mechanism is involved, and plasma effects are important. Here, we extend the theory of thermal gyroresonance and free–free radio emissions in the classical single-temperature Maxwellian plasma to the case of a multitemperature plasma. The free–free component is computed using the DEM and temperature-dependent ionization states of coronal ions, contributions from collisions of electrons with neutral atoms, the exact Gaunt factor, and the magnetic field effect. For the gyroresonant component, another measure of the multitemperature plasma is used, which describes the distribution of the thermal electron density over temperature. We give representative examples demonstrating important changes in the emission intensity and polarization due to the effects considered. The theory is implemented in available computer code.
Taxonomy of three species of the genus Spinoncaea (Copepoda, Oncaeidae) in the North Pacific Ocean with focus on morphological variability
Authors: Cho Kyuhee , Park Chailinn , Böttger-Schnack Ruth
Published: June 2021

Three species of Spinoncaea Böttger-Schnack, 2003 are newly recorded in three locations of the equatorial and temperate Pacific Ocean collected by using a net of 60 μm mesh size. For all three species, morphological characters and patterns of ornamentation were analyzed in detail and illustrations of both sexes, also including form variants of the females, are provided. For the first time, information about the variability of various continuous (morphometric) characters are given, such as the spine lengths on the rami of the swimming legs or the proportions of urosomites. The complementary morphological descriptions of the Pacific specimens focus on similarities or modifications of characters as compared to earlier descriptions of these species from the type locality and various other localities. For S. ivlevi (Shmeleva, 1966), originally but insufficiently described from the Adriatic Sea, the Pacific material is similar in most aspects to the comprehensive redescription of the species from the Red Sea and from the type locality, except for a difference in the morphometry of the distal endopod segment on the antenna, which is discussed here. For S. tenuis Böttger-Schnack, 2003, and S. humesi Böttger-Schnack, 2003, the Pacific material mostly coincides with the characteristic features as described in the original account from the Red Sea. For all three species, differences and/or additions in ornamentation details were found in Pacific specimens (e.g., on the intercoxal sclerite of the first swimming leg or on the genital somite of the male) and females with aberrant morphology were detected. Genetic analyses based on 12S srRNA revealed for two species, S. ivlevi and S. humesi, little or no differences in genetic sequences between Pacific specimens and those recorded from the Mediterranean Sea, thus demonstrating that specimens from both locations are conspecific. For S. tenuis, for which no comparable genetic data are available, 12S srRNA amplification was unsuccessful as was the amplification of mitochondrial COI (barcoding) for all three species. The applicability of using COI amplification for barcoding of oncaeid copepods is discussed.

Stage-structured models for interactive wild and periodically and impulsively released sterile mosquitoes
Authors: Ai Shangbing , Li Jia , Yu Jianshe , Zheng Bo
Published: June 2021

A two-dimensional stage-structured model for the interactive wild and sterile mosquitoes is derived where the wild mosquito population is composed of larvae and adult classes and only sexually active sterile mosquitoes are included as a function given in advance. The strategy of constant releases of sterile mosquitoes is considered but periodic and impulsive releases are more focused on. Local stability of the origin and the existence of a positive periodic solution are investigated. While mathematical analysis is more challenging, numerical examples demonstrate that the model dynamics, determined by thresholds of the release amount and the release waiting period, essentially match the dynamics of the alike one-dimensional models. It is also shown that richer dynamics are exhibited from the two-dimensional stage-structured model.
Diversity of Xanthoparmelia (Parmeliaceae) species in Mexican xerophytic scrub vegetation, evidenced by molecular, morphological and chemistry data

Published: June 2021

The genus Xanthoparmelia is the largest genus of lichen- forming fungi with about 800 species worldwide. Xanthoparmelia is also common in the deserts of central Mexico, but only a few molecular studies exist on its species’ diversity in this region. In this study, we sampled 38 Xanthoparmelia species from around the world including species from the xerophytic scrubs of central Mexico to assess the diversity using an integrative approach. Molecular phylogenetic analyses were performed using a combination of the ITS, mtSSU and nuLSU genetic markers. We evaluated our phylogenetic results in a context of traditional morphological and chemical characters. The combined evidence of molecular, morphological, and chemical data identified a total of 18 Xanthoparmelia species-level lineages occurring in central Mexico. However, numerous traditionally circumscribed species did not form monophyletic groups in the molecular phylogenetic reconstructions. This conflict indicates that taxonomy and species delimitation in the genus Xanthoparmelia requires revision and emphasizes the importance of molecular evidence for more robust species delimitations in this genus.

Parasopubia raghavendrae, a new species of Orobanchaceae is described from the southern Western Ghats of Kerala. It resembles P. delphinifolia and P. hofmannii var. hofmannii by its habit, shape, colour and hairiness of corolla lobes but differs by length of calyx tube, hairiness of staminal filaments and stomium, and shape and ornamentation of seeds. Parasopubia raghavendrae is hitherto known only from the type locality Mathikettan Shola National Park in Idukki district, Kerala. Detailed description of the new species along with colour photographs and comparison with its closely similar species are given. We also assessed provisionally the conservation status of the new species as Critically Endangered (CR) according to IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.
