How Civil Society Organizations Drive Innovative Cultural Strategies in Shrinking Cities: A Comparative Case Study of Oberhausen, Germany and Riga, Latvia
Authors: Matyushkina Anastasiya
Published: April 2023

In a context where planning strategies were conceived to accommodate urban growth, urban shrinkage urges scholars and practitioners to develop innovative approaches. This paper aims to explore the role of culture in qualitative transformations in shrinking cities. The focus of this analysis is governance networks with key actors, their resources, challenges, and mutual dependencies. In this comparative case study, the data was collected in a qualitative way via in-depth interviews with representatives of local governments and cultural NGOs, as well as politicians, private actors, and residents from neighborhood organizations. The results show that municipalities in shrinking cities lack crucial qualities such as creativity, trust, and knowledge of local communities to efficiently govern shrinking cities. Local governments increasingly rely on civil society organizations that utilize culture as a tool to innovate new methods for community development and to provide social services for vulnerable groups. Two approaches to governance through culture are presented which differ significantly between two shrinking cities: the economically prosperous Latvian capital, Riga, and a peripheral German city, Oberhausen, with one of the largest financial debts in the country. This paper debunks the image of shrinking cities as citadels of empty spaces for arts, emphasizes the role of strategic planning, highlights the crucial role of civil society organizations in civic engagement and maintenance of cultural provision, and reflects on their precarious position ‘in the shadow of hierarchy’. Several policy implications for a community-focused cultural development of shrinking cities are provided.

Published: April 2023

Deep learning models have been widely used in various applications, such as image and speech recognition, natural language processing, and recently, in the field of drought forecasting/prediction. These models have proven to be effective in handling large and complex datasets, and in automatically extracting relevant features for forecasting. The use of deep learning models in drought forecasting can provide more accurate and timely predictions, which are crucial for the mitigation of drought-related impacts such as crop failure, water shortages, and economic losses. This review provides information on the type of droughts and their information systems. A comparative analysis of deep learning models, related technology, and research tabulation is provided. The review has identified algorithms that are more pertinent than others in the current scenario, such as the Deep Neural Network, Multi-Layer Perceptron, Convolutional Neural Networks, and combination of hybrid models. The paper also discusses the common issues for deep learning models for drought forecasting and the current open challenges. In conclusion, deep learning models offer a powerful tool for drought forecasting, which can significantly improve our understanding of drought dynamics and our ability to predict and mitigate its impacts. However, it is important to note that the success of these models is highly dependent on the availability and quality of data, as well as the specific characteristics of the drought event.
Local Government Debt and Corporate Maturity Mismatch between Investment and Financing: Evidence from China
Authors: Ma Haiyun , Hou Deshuai
Published: April 2023

Based on the perspective of investment and financing term structure, this study verifies that local government debt crowds out bank loans available to corporates, resulting in corporate maturity mismatch between investment and financing, namely, short-term financing for long-term investment. According to our heterogeneity analyses, the real impact of local government debt on maturity mismatch between investment and financing is more pronounced for non-state-owned enterprises and firms with high financing demand, located in cities with more local government debt and low financial development. Furthermore, our study reveals that local government debt and corporate maturity mismatch between investment and financing bring about underinvestment and default risk, which ultimately affects local sustainable economic development. This research contributes to the literature on Chinese-specific maturity mismatches.
The Role of Creating Shared Value and Entrepreneurial Orientation in Generating Social and Economic Benefits: Evidence from Korean SMEs
Authors: Seo Joohwan , Lee Jiseon , Jung Sunggwang , Park Sangil
Published: April 2023

This study investigates the effect of entrepreneurial orientation (EO; one of the most broadly acknowledged firm-level constructs) on the performance of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Furthermore, we analyze the moderator effect of creating shared value (CSV) on firm performance. Our analysis was conducted using a structural equation model on a stratified sampling method of 294 manufacturing and service SMEs in Korea. The results show that an SME’s efforts in some variables in EO constructs are statistically positively related to both its financial (economic benefits) and non-financial performance (social benefits). Our study results also reveal that there is a significant positive moderator effect of CSV on the EO-performance relationship. This implies that CSV, when bundled with EO, can boost firm performance and provide SMEs with not only a competitive and sustainable advantage but also reduces their risk. This research contributes to the extant literature by investigating the interactive effect of CSV on the relationship between EO and firm performance in the context of SMEs, which has received scant attention in the extant literature. In the last section, the limitations and future research agenda of this study are presented.
Calibration and Evaluation of the WRF-Hydro Model in Simulating the Streamflow over the Arid Regions of Northwest China: A Case Study in Kaidu River Basin
Authors: Yu Entao , Liu Xiaoyan , Li Jiawei , Tao Hui
Published: April 2023

In this study, the hydrological system of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF-Hydro) is applied to simulate the streamflow at the Kaidu River Basin, which is vital to the ecological system in the lower reaches of the Tarim River in Northwest China. The offline WRF-Hydro model is coupled with the Noah multi-parameterization land surface model (Noah-MP) and is forced by the China Meteorological Forcing Dataset (CMFD), with the grid spacing of the hydrological routing modules being 250 m. A 3-year period (1983–1985) is used for calibration and a 17-year period (1986–2002) for the evaluation. Several key parameters of WRF-Hydro and four Noah-MP parameterization options are calibrated, and the performance of WRF-Hydro with the optimized model setting is evaluated using the daily streamflow observations. The results indicate that WRF-Hydro can reproduce the observed streamflow reasonably, with underestimation of the streamflow peaks. The simulated streamflow is sensitive to the parameters of bexp, dksat, smcmax, REFKDT, slope, OVROUGHRTAC and mann in the Kaidu River Basin. At the same time, the parameterization options of Noah-MP also have a large influence on the streamflow simulation. The WRF-Hydro model with optimized model settings can achieve correlation coefficient (CC) and Nash efficiency coefficient (NSE) statistical scores of 0.78 and 0.61, respectively, for the calibration period. Meanwhile, for the evaluation period, the scores are 0.7 and 0.50, respectively. This study indicates the importance of applying the physical-based WRF-Hydro model over Northwest China and provides a reference for the nearby regions.

Published: April 2023

A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a powerful mechanism for balancing reactive power and uplift voltage stability in a transmission system. Nowadays, the desire to save energy by reducing losses is prioritized as an essential target instead of increasing the power generation for the sustainability of any nation’s growth plans. As a result, power-electronics-based converters are more significant for power savings in transmission systems. STATCOM based on voltage source converters (VSC) are operated to improve on stable performance conditions as well as to minimize the harmonic distortions in a power system. Hence, this paper explores low harmonic distortions of fifteen-level VSC structured STACOM using only one DC-link voltage to balance the reactive power and to manage the voltage profile in large power transmission systems. STATCOM consisting of H-bridge type VSCs and binary weighted transformers was utilized to maintain an AC system voltage at 132 kV, 50 Hz. The three stages of VSCs were operated with meticulous firing angles based on converter levels for controlling THD (total harmonic distortion) and providing system improvement. The proposed model of the fifteen-level H-bridge type voltage source converters with fuzzy logic decoupled control algorithm based STATCOM can be used for large power range applications with a small number of switches. This model attained stable operation of the system with a low harmonic deviation at any dynamical conditions. The simulation results using MATLAB showed that the system’s operation was enhanced, with a smoother response and improved steady state performance.

Published: April 2023

Australia’s building energy use accounts for a significant portion of the country’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Buildings consume energy for a variety of purposes, including space heating, cooling, lighting, and powering electronics. Smart and sustainable building management practices allow buildings to be managed and operated more efficiently and sustainably. This study investigated the energy consumption and building management performance of a university building in Sydney, Australia. The experiment was performed by monitoring occupant comfort and building performance feedback with a push-pull mobile phone application and portable sensor technologies. The results showed that several factors influenced the occupants’ environmental comfort level, including temperature, lighting, noise, air quality, air movement, and relative humidity. Nevertheless, the ambient office temperature has a significantly higher impact on occupants’ comfort level. Results also showed that the local temperature experienced and preferred by individual occupants may vary, even under identical thermal conditions. The outcomes also confirmed strong correlations between the comfort and concentration levels (r(231) = 0.61, p = 0) and between the comfort and productivity levels (r(231) = 0.62, p = 0). Temporal analysis also revealed lower comfort levels between 13h00 and 16h00 and higher comfort levels between 10h00 and 12h00 and 17h00 and 19h00. The findings of this research indicated that ≤4% of total annual building energy consumption costs may be saved by more effectively and efficiently managing office thermostat control. More accurate and zone-based energy analysis could also reveal higher energy savings through smart occupant feedback-oriented thermostat and lighting control in commercial and office buildings.

Published: April 2023

Prospection of the endosphere of the native plant Fragaria chiloensis subsp. chiloensis f. patagonica from the foothills of the Chilean Andes led to the isolation of two strains of the genus Coniochaeta. We addressed the taxonomic placement of these strains based on DNA sequencing data using the ITS and LSU genetic markers, morphological features, and biochemical traits. One of these strains was identified as Coniochaeta hansenii, for which the anamorph and teleomorph states were described. The second strain did not seem to match any of the currently described species of this genus; therefore, we propose the name Coniochaeta fragariicola sp. nov.

Published: April 2023

Background: This study aimed to evaluate short- and long-term humoral and T-cell-specific immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) treated with different disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). Methods: Single-center observational longitudinal study including 102 patients with MS who consecutively received vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Serum samples were collected at baseline and after receiving the second dose of the vaccine. Specific Th1 responses following in vitro stimulation with spike and nucleocapsid peptides were analyzed by quantifying levels of IFN-γ. Serum IgG-type antibodies against the spike region of SARS-CoV-2 were studied by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Results: Patients undergoing fingolimod and anti-CD20 therapies had a markedly lower humoral response than those treated with other DMTs and untreated patients. Robust antigen-specific T-cell responses were detected in all patients except those treated with fingolimod, who had lower IFN-γ levels than those treated with other DMTs (25.8 pg/mL vs. 868.7 pg/mL, p = 0.011). At mid-term follow-up, a decrease in vaccine-induced anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies was observed in all subgroups of patients receiving DMTs, although most patients receiving induction DMTs or natalizumab and non-treated patients remained protected. Cellular immunity was maintained above protective levels in all DMT subgroups except the fingolimod subgroup. Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 vaccines induce robust and long-lasting humoral and cell-mediated specific immune responses in most patients with MS.
Addressing Immunization Inequity—What Have the International Community and India Learned over 35 Years?
Authors: Shimp Lora , Ghosh Raj Shankar , Elkes Katharine
Published: April 2023

Countries around the world established immunization programs over 40 years ago to reach all infants. The maturity of these preventive health programs offers some useful learning on the importance of, and components needed for, population-based services to reach all communities. A public health success, ensuring equity in immunization, requires a multi-faceted approach that includes sustained government and partner commitment and human, financial, and program operational resources. Evidence from India’s Universal Immunization Program (UIP) across stabilizing vaccine supply and services, enhancing access, and generating demand for vaccines in the community provides a useful case study. The political leadership in India took advantage of the two decades of learning from polio eradication and focused initiatives, such as the National Health Mission and Intensified Mission Indradhanush, to reach populations with immunization services. With a goal of leaving no one behind, India’s UIP and partners are bringing essential rotavirus and pneumococcal vaccines nationwide, upgrading vaccine cold chain and supply systems with technologies, such as the electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network (eVIN), and optimizing funding for local needs through the Program Implementation Plan (PIP) budgetary processes and building health worker capacities through training, awareness, and e-learning.

Authors: Abbas Anas M. , Damron Timothy A.
Published: April 2023

Hypersensitivity reactions to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were identified in the initial 2020 trials. Appearance of a soft tissue mass is a rare manifestation of this hypersensitivity reaction. In this patient, bilateral injections resulted in the appearance of shoulder masses. Magnetic resonance imaging showed localized pseudo-tumorous edema in both shoulders, one subcutaneous and the other intramuscular. This is only the second case of a mass-like reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine mimicking a possible soft tissue neoplasm. Improper vaccination administration technique may have contributed to this complication. The case is presented to increase awareness of this potential pseudotumor.

Published: April 2023

An influenza vaccination is recommended for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) or ischemic heart disease (IHD) to prevent cardiovascular events, but the vaccination coverage remains low. This cross-sectional study sought to investigate vaccination coverage, knowledge level on influenza and factors associated with influenza vaccination in patients with DM or IHD treated at a tertiary hospital in northern Thailand. Patients were interviewed from August to October 2017. Of 150 patients interviewed (51.3% women, mean age of 66.7 ± 8.3 years, 35.3% DM, 35.3% IHD, 29.3% DM and IHD), 45.3% (68/150) were vaccinated against influenza. The mean knowledge score was 9.68 ± 1.35 (total: 11) and did not differ between those receiving the immunization and those who did not (p = 0.056). Two factors remained significantly associated with their vaccination after multivariable logistic regression analysis: knowing their right to receive free vaccinations (adjusted OR 2.32, 95% CI: 1.06–5.10, p-value: 0.035), and needing to be vaccinated (adjusted OR 3.50, 95% CI: 1.51–8.12, p-value: 0.003). Overall, the vaccine coverage was low; less than one-half of patients received the influenza vaccine, but their knowledge level was high. Possessing the right and having a need were two factors associated with vaccination. Such factors should be carefully considered to encourage patients with DM and IDH to receive the influenza vaccination.

Ecosystems worldwide face a serious and life-threatening water crisis due to water contamination. Nanotechnology offers a promising solution to this issue by providing methods for removing pollutants from aquatic sources. In this study, we utilized a green and simple approach to biosynthesize NiSe NPs using Hibiscus rosa-sinensis extract as the bio-source. The plant extract acts as a reducing, stabilizing, and capping agent in the synthesis process. A simple hydrothermal method was employed to blend the NiSe NPs photocatalysts. UV-Visible DRS spectroscopy was utilized to confirm the reduction in and stabilization of Ni2+ and Se2− ions. The resulting NiSe NPs have a bandgap of 1.74 eV, which facilitates electron and hole production on their surfaces. To characterize the functional groups on the NiSe NPs and their surface interactions with bio-compounds, FTIR spectroscopy was utilized. XRD analysis revealed the crystallite size of the NiSe NPs to be 24 nm, while FE-SEM and TEM imaging showed their spherical shape and material distribution. EDX spectroscopy confirmed the integrity of the NiSe NPs’ material. XPS analysis provided information on the chemical composition, nickel and selenium valency, and their interface. The efficacy of the NiSe NPs as a blended photocatalyst in photodegrading Methylene Blue (MB) dye was tested under visible light, resulting in 92% degradation. Furthermore, the NiSe NPs exhibited bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria due to their advanced oxidation and reduction in charge particles, which increased the degradation efficiency and suppressed cell proliferation. Based on the obtained findings, the NiSe NPs show promise as a powerful agent for water remediation and microbial resistance.

Published: April 2023

In order to evaluate the health of animals, clinical and hematological indicators of various breeds of goats are being increasingly studied. The purpose of the research was to carry out a comparative evaluation of some morphological indicators of blood in dairy goats in the summer period. A comparative assessment of the morphological parameters of the blood of goats of Saanen, Czech and Gorky breeds during the summer period of housing under the conditions of the Altai Territory has been presented in the article, in order to determine the functional dynamics of the vital activity of the organism. Regardless of breed the season of the year has a signifi cant impact on changes in metabolism: the number of erythrocytes, leukocytes, hemoglobin content, value of hematocrit and the total amount of circulating blood in goats. Analysis of the parameters of erythrocytes of goats of diff erent breeds in the studied groups showed that the maximum values were in the goats of Saanen breed – 11,89±0,89 ×1012/l, in comparison with the goats of Czech and Gorky breeds – 9,03±1,32 and 10,36±2,03 ×1012/l, respectively. The average volume of erythrocytes of the studied goats was 15,73±1,19 fl in the Gorky breed, which was more than in goats of Saanen (14,63±0,55 fl ) and Czech breeds (14,70±0,30 fl ) by 7,52 and 7,01 %, respectively. The hemoglobin in the studied goats of Czech breed was below the normal limit by 7,9 %. The average hemoglobin content in the erythrocyte in the studied breeds of dairy goats ranged from 8,13±0,38 p/g (Czech breed) to 8,93±0,87 p/g (Gorky breed), which slightly exceeded the upper limit of the norm. The highest hematological indicators were observed in lactating goats of Saanen breed, this causes a greater adaptability of this breed to breeding conditions in the Altai Territory.

Authors: Sarap L. R. , Kudrina K. O. , Lytkina A. A. , Shilova Yu. N. , Podzorova E. A.
Published: April 2023

Relevance. Oral health in children largely depends on parental involvement and the formation of adequate oral care skills. Parental awareness of oral disease prevention and adherence to the recommendation of pediatric dentists or dental hygienists are paramount for dental disease onset. Therefore, the assessment of parental knowledge about oral prevention is relevant.

Aim. To evaluate the oral health education of parents of children under seven y.o. on oral disease prevention.

Materials and methods. The study anonymously surveyed 250 parents of children under seven y.o., living in Barnaul. The survey in Google Forms included questions about parental awareness of dental diseases, the frequency of dental visits, parental knowledge of the child's home oral care and the child's diet. The study results were statistically processed using the MS Excel 2007 program.

Results. The survey of Barnaul parents of children under seven demonstrated that 50% of the children were breastfed, and almost no one used dairy products as the main drink. Despite the knowledge about the importance of caries treatment in children, most parents (68%) visit a dentist when dental disease symptoms appear. The dentist is not always the principal source of information about dental diseases in children and their prevention. The parents selected oral hygiene products and items independently in most cases, without considering the child's individual dental status characteristics. Some parents believe that they may skip brushing their primary teeth brushing at all.

Conclusion. The results evidence the need to increase parental knowledge about dental disease prevention in children.

Les sociétés, notre société, n'auraient pas construit de distinction entre les sexes, s'il n'y avait pas une base biologique à cette distinction. Mais cette base biologique n'est pas une dichotomie tranchée, il y a deux sexes et il y a des « entre deux ».

On peut définir les caractéristiques de la femelle humaine, ce en quoi elle diffère du mâle humain. Mais pour devenir un homme ou une femme reconnus comme tels par la société, il faut se soumettre aux stéréotypes sociaux du masculin et du féminin. Est féminin ce que la société déclare comme tel.

Ceux qui sont « entre les deux », intersexués, transsexuels, homosexuels, n'ont pas de statut dans notre société.

Este artículo describe la articulación entre los conflictos de parentalidad y de desarrollo psíquico del niño. Luego de algunas consideraciones generales sobre el problema que constituye el hecho de devenir padre, los diferentes conflictos de la parentalidad (normal, neurótica, masoquista y narcisista-disociada), son definidos a partir de los elementos que los constituyen : 1) las identificaciones proyeetivas de los padres sobre los hijos a partir de imágenes de ellos mismos en tanto que hijos o de imágenes de sus padres y 2) las identificaciones parentales complementarias salidas de diferentes imágenes de sus propios padres. Los componentes, sea libidinales, sea agresivos, vehiculizados por las imágenes proyectadas sobre el niño, dependerán del grado de conflictividad de las interacciones padres-niño y de la calidad de los procesos de organización o de desorganización psíquica de los niños.

Published: April 2023

Because of geographical position and high carbon storage potential, coastal salt marshes are recognized as an essential component of blue carbon and play an indispensable role in regulating climate and reaching carbon neutrality targets. Nonetheless, accurately mapping salt marsh carbon stock on a regional scale remains challenging. The framework of mapping salt marsh carbon stock was developed by using machine learning (temporal–phenological–spatial) models, vegetation index aboveground biomass inversion models, and above/belowground biomass allometric models. Here, we employed Sentinel-2 time series images based on Google Earth Engine in combination with field survey data to produce a 10-m map of salt marsh carbon stocks in the Tianjin coastal zone (TCZ). The total and average carbon stocks of TCZ salt marsh vegetation in 2020 were approximately 6.24 × 10
3
Mg C and 45.02 Mg C/ha, respectively. In terms of vegetative species, the carbon stock was ranked by
Spartina alterniflora
(2.89 × 10
3
Mg C)
> Phragmites australis
(1.74 × 10
3
Mg C)
> Suaeda salsa
(1.61 × 10

Mg C). The carbon density of 3 representative salt marsh species sampled in Tianjin were calculated:
S. alterniflora
(18.63 Mg/ha)
> P. australis
(6.49 Mg/ha)
> S. salsa
(1.40 Mg/ha). The random forest algorithm shows the best performance in classifying, with an overall accuracy of 87.21%. This work created the replicable and generic technical framework for mapping carbon stocks in salt marshes, which supports blue carbon accounting and provides case support for “nature-based solutions.”

Regional governance on natural resources located in border region concerns on whether stakeholders’ decisions to interact one with another are influenced by their predetermined and assigned social and functional roles. This relationship between roles and interactions reveals whether stakeholders’ embedded capacity and formal authority (proxied by role of each stakeholder) would result in effective management and governance of border region. The paper aims to illuminate specific roles of stakeholders that influence and/or impede their interactions with other stakeholders. Drawing from the case of Mount Ijen bordering between Banyuwangi and Bondowoso in East Java, we analyze whether stakeholders’ roles and interactions are shaped by the specific characteristics of the area within the Mount Ijen region that lead to the emergence of particular governance mode. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The analysis techniques used are pattern matching and stakeholder. Two significant roles are identified: policy creators and facilitators, of which these two were influenced by physical aspects, institutional arrangements and legal binding concerns.

Based on the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) for the City of Bandar Lampung in 2011-2030, there is a medium-sized industrial area and warehouse area, one of which is in Way Lunik Village. Based on the facts in the field industry agglomerates and uses land for industry. The purpose of this study is to describe the impact of industrial existence on land use in Way Lunik Village, Panjang District, Bandar Lampung City. Researchers used Spatial Analysis with map overlay analysis techniques to see land use conditions in 2001-2021. Furthermore, using descriptive qualitative analysis with sampling techniques, namely purposive sampling and snowball sampling to identify the impact of the existence of industrial estates. Based on the analysis that has been carried out, land use changes change the physical and non-physical land use conditions. There are changes in land use and changes in economic activity. The dominant land use change is the change in land use to industry. Changes in economic activity are directly reflected in changes in land use, changes in the function of residential buildings, changes in yard area, distance between buildings, land ownership, land prices, accessibility, facilities and infrastructure, and the most important community activities.
Combined Random Number Generator on Programmable Logic Integrated Circuits
Authors: Ivaniuk A. A.
Published: April 2023

The paper shows the practical possibility of implementing random number generators on field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) by combining various physically unclonable functions. A compact and scalable scheme of a digital random number source based on an asynchronous flip-flop of the D-type is proposed, which combines the characteristics of a static memory physically unclonable functions and a ring oscillator physically unclonable functions. Unlike existing random number generators, the proposed scheme can be used to solve the problem of unclonable identification of digital devices. The article presents experimental results obtained by the proposed generator circuit based on the FPGA Xilinx Zynq. The main modes of operation, probabilistic and statistical characteristics of numerical sequences, generated by the proposed scheme are described.

A comparative analysis of the characteristics of the main types of bolometers is indicated in the article. The constructive solution of an uncooled thermal detector of the bolometric type, formed using the technology of microelectromechanical systems, is studied. By means of computer simulation in modern computer-aided design systems in microelectronics, a static mechanical analysis was performed to assess the effect of mechanical stresses arising in structural materials during their formation on the magnitude of deformation. It has been established that to ensure the normal functioning of the microbolometer (to reduce the maximum deviation value of the film from the nominal value), it is necessary to reduce the internal mechanical stresses in the NiCr film. For the Si3N4 films, on the contrary, this value should be increased.

The strict measures of social distance to curb the outbreak of COVID-19 have resulted in the physically prolonged closure of educational institutions. Accordingly, shifting the whole school system to the virtual learning environment via online learning platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams is one of the most prominently favored solutions among the attempts made by governments to guarantee the continuity of the teaching-learning process. The current study aimed at investigating how EFL students perceive the adoption of Microsoft Teams during COVID-19 as well as proposing some suggestions to improve online learning via this platform. The mixed-method design was adopted to fulfil the purposes of the study. The participants include 151 EFL students at a state university in Vietnam. The questionnaire which was developed based on Technology Acceptance Model and the semi-structured interviews were employed as the data collection instruments. The findings indicated that the EFL students’ perceptions of Microsoft Teams were generally positive. Also, a large number of suggestions were put forward to educational institutions, teachers and students for better adoption of this online platform in the future.

Learning motivation is a factor that directly affects the progress and learning outcomes of students. Students with high academic motivation often achieve good academic results and vice versa. Students' learning motivation is affected by many different factors, including mental health problems. The article presents research results on mental health and learning motivation of psychology students, Van Lang University. Research results on a sample of 164 first-year to fourth-year students indicated that psychology students currently have mental health problems, the rate of students experiencing stress is 81.1%, anxiety is 72.6% and depression is 59.8%; Students' learning motivation is only at a good average level. Mental health problems were positively correlated with learning motivation and could explain 9.3% of the variation in student motivation. These results showed that schools, lecturers, etc. need to care and support students to solve mental health problems, contributing to enhance their learning motivation.

Bacterial leaf blight disease is a major biotic constraint of rice cultivation distributed widely in Asia including India. During the survey (Kharif 2019) in southern Karnataka bacterial leaf blight severity ranged from 30-55% was recorded from maximum tillering onwards till the dough stage. The symptoms observed were water-soaked stripes from the tip of the leaves to white wavy margins along one or both the edges turning yellowish white and later became straw-colored and finally dries out. Symptomatic blight disease samples were collected from the field and the causal organism was isolated on nutrient agar medium following colony morphology and biochemical characteristics was studied. The isolates were isolated and tested for pathogenicity on variety Jyothi under glass house condition. DNA fingerprinting of 16SrDNA and nucleotide blast analysis of the seventeen isolates sequenced, five showed 97-100% sequence identity with Sphingomonas panni, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, and Sphingomonas sp. and rest of twelve matched to Xanthomonas oryzae and Pantoea sp.
