Changes to the system of direct payments in the framework of the CAP reform for the years 2014–2020
Authors: Kowalczyk Beata
Published: July 2024

The article examines the changes that have been made to the direct payments system as a result of the most recent reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the years 2014–2020. It presents a model division of direct payment funds taken on by the countries and institutions of the EU, as well as changes to the national budgets and payments for 1 ha of agricultural land resulting from the redistribution and the ability to transfer funds between the CAP’s two pillars. It also presents solutions individual countries have used in choosing components available in the direct payment system and the division of national budgets allocated for their realisation. Results of the analysis show that the amount of direct payments in Poland has grown and that EU Member States have taken a variety of approaches to shaping the new national payment system.
Regulatory determinants of US automotive market structure – an overview
Authors: Mutrynowski Tomasz
Published: July 2024

Governments have different measures at their disposal to influence the car market and thus achieve particular goals. Indirect interventionism, thanks to i.e. environmental regulation, should include social welfare. The American automotive market is more than 100 years old and has been the subject of various regulations that have shaped its structure. The Big Three of the US car industry (General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Chrysler) has changed over the last 50 years into The Big Six, which now includes Nissan, Honda, and Toyota. Analysis shows how fiscal and environmental policies influence particular sectors. This should be a revealing lesson for Polish automotive market regulators, especially when we need to deal with our own problems, such as the high average age of vehicles. The article also describes government activity in rescuing a key national economic sector. The financial crisis of 2008 showed that market mechanisms are not sufficient. Possible further losses related to the collapsing car industry forced the government to take control of the bankruptcy of GM and Chrysler.

Authors: Çelik Saliha , Uçak Harun
Published: July 2024

In this study, logistics outsourcing practices in fresh vegetables and fruits sector are discussed with the customer firm perspective. The benefits of the companies from the logistics outsourcing process, the problems they face in the process management and the expectations and evaluations for the process are tried to be put forward with an exploratory approach. The required data were collected through surveys carried out with companies operating in the fresh vegetable and fruits sector. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method has also been used to determine the criteria that are effective in selecting the service provider company, which is considered to be directly effective on the success of the outsourcing process. The research findings show that the most important obstacles to maximizing the benefits of the companies from the process are the lack of a planned structure for logistics outsourcing and the traditional management understanding of the company managers. This situation makes the logistics outsourcing process of the companies in the sector not an effective competitive strategy but rather an alternative to deal with cyclical fluctuations. For all these reasons, the expectations of the companies for the process are not fully met and the benefits from the process are realized at more limited levels.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the impact of prolonged hybrid closed loop (HCL) use in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) on glucose control and BMI throughout pubertal progression.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We used a prospective multicenter extension study following the Free-Life Kid AP (FLKAP) HCL trial. The 9-month previously reported FLKAP trial included 119 prepubertal children (aged 6–12 years). During the extension study, participants could continue to use HCL for 30 months (M9 to M39). HbA1c values were collected every 3 months up to M39, while continuous glucose monitoring metrics, BMI z scores, and Tanner stages were collected up to M24. Noninferiority tests were performed to assess parameter sustainability over time.

RESULTS

One hundred seventeen children completed the extension study, with mean age 10.1 years (minimum to maximum, 6.8–14.0) at the beginning. Improvement of HbA1c obtained in the FLKAP trial was significantly sustained during extension (median [interquartile range], M9 7.0% [6.8–7.4], and M39 7.0% [6.6–7.4], P < 0.0001 for noninferiority test) and did not differ between children who entered puberty at M24 (Tanner stage ≥2; 54% of the patients) and patients who remained prepubertal. BMI z score also remained stable (M9 0.41 [−0.29 to 1.13] and M24 0.48 [−0.11 to 1.13], P < 0.0001, for noninferiority test). No severe hypoglycemia and one ketoacidosis episode not related to the HCL system occurred.

CONCLUSIONS

Prolonged use of HCL can safely and effectively mitigate impairment of glucose control usually associated with pubertal progression without impact on BMI in children with T1D.

An Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of Common Zingiber officinale Cultivars Grown in Sri Lanka
Authors: Dharmapala Kasuni Pamoda , Amarakoon Ranjani
Published: July 2024

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) has long been a therapeutic agent in traditional medicine systems worldwide and is a leading drug candidate in the pharmaceutical industry. In Sri Lanka, many forms of ginger are often used in the food industry, mainly as a spice; it also plays a vital role in the Ayurvedic medicine system. This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of the two most cultivated cultivars of Zingiber officinale in Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan (TG) and Chinese (CG) cultivars. Two types of extracts (ethanol and aqueous) were obtained from the rhizomes of each cultivar. The potential antimicrobial activity of the extracts was tested against three types of pathogenic test organisms, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Salmonella typhi DSM 17058, and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, using the agar well diffusion method along with positive control, chloramphenicol, and negative controls, 95% ethanol or distilled water. In conclusion, both Zingiber officinale cultivars exhibit varying antimicrobial potential, with ethanol extracts showing stronger activity than aqueous ones. None of the extracts was effective against Escherichia coli. The agar dilution method determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of each ginger extract. Among the extracts, ethanol extracts showed higher effectivity than aqueous extracts, where all test organisms showed inhibition at a concentration of 20 mg/mL. The antimicrobial activity of the Chinese cultivar outperforms the Sri Lankan cultivar against target organisms, Salmonella typhi, and Staphylococcus aureus.
Impact of clay minerals on reservoir sandstone properties: comparative study in Colombian eastern cordillera and middle Magdalena valley basins
Authors: Paba-Santiago Fred Jesús , Ríos-Reyes Carlos Alberto , Buendía-Lombana Hernando
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study is to examine how mineralogy influences the petrophysical properties, particularly porosity and permeability, of potential sandstone reservoirs in Colombia. It seeks to comprehensively understand how the presence of clay minerals impacts the overall quality of hydrocarbon reservoirs in the country. Samples of sandstones from reservoirs at various outcrops in the Eastern Cordillera and Middle Magdalena Valley basins were collected. Detailed analysis of mineralogy and petrographic characteristics of the samples was conducted through various analytical techniques such as transmitted light microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Porosity and permeability were measured using automated permeametry and porosimetry equipment. The predominant composition of the analyzed reservoir rocks comprises quartz (45-50%), feldspar (35-40%), and clays (10-20%). These rocks were categorized into two distinct groups based on their permeability (K) and porosity (Φ), ranging from 0.009 to 29.220 mD and 1.88 to 20.75%, respectively. The presence of illite correlated with a reduction in both porosity and permeability, highlighting its negative impact on reservoir quality. Conversely, an elevated concentration of kaolinite was associated with favorable porosity and permeability. Samples with feldspar sericitization demonstrated inferior hydrocarbon storage quality. This study provides a deeper understanding of how mineralogy affects the petrophysical properties of sandstone reservoirs in Colombia. These findings are crucial for guiding exploration and production strategies in the Colombian oil industry, especially in challenging geological environments like those studied.

"The Cornell Critical Thinking Test (CCTT) level Z is a broadly applied instrument for the measurement of undergraduate, gifted students’ and adults’ critical thinking abilities, however, there is a lack of studies in the literature investigating its factorial structure. The test developers emphasize the interpretation of the test results as a general critical thinking factor, including different cognitive abilities, but also highlight the overlap between the items of the subfactors. The aim of the study is the investigation of internal consistency, the comparison of different factorial structures (unidimensional, correlated, and hierarchical models), and gender invariance testing of the CCTT level Z. Hungarian-speaking undergraduate students participated in the study (N = 825). For the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) the Mplus version 8.7, with weighted least squares mean and variance adjusted estimation was used. Measurement invariance of the test across genders was analyzed using Muthén’s two-step procedure for dichotomous data. The results indicated that the correlated four-factor and second-order structures of the test exceeded the acceptable model fit criteria. Post hoc inspection was conducted on the second-order four-factor model, indicating a shortened 22-item version of the test (with a general critical thinking factor, including four subfactors: deduction, meaning and fallacies, induction, assumption identification) with excellent fit indices [χ2 (203) = 259.309, CFI = .967, TLI = .963, RMSEA = .018, SRMR = .056]. Configural and scalar invariance of the abbreviated Hungarian version of the test across genders were confirmed.

"The current study investigated the effects of inference instruction on text-based inferences by third graders who are below average in reading comprehension but average in reading fluency and cognitive abilities. Text-based inferences occur when the preceding text has an identifiable causal antecedent. Participants were randomly assigned and attended twelve 30-minute sessions of the inferences training intervention. We have included strategies for integrating information from the text to improve reading comprehension skills. We provide an overview of how specific text-based instruction influences reading comprehension processes and outcomes and can lead to increased reading comprehension. The comparison of pretest and posttest results in the experimental group showed a significant gain in the following variables: generating inferences and providing arguments for using rules and constraints. Finally, we discuss how consideration of these potential sources of instruction has practical implications for designing and selecting instructional materials. Key-words: reading comprehension, text-based inferences, reading comprehension instruction, inferences, inference instruction, reading comprehension difficulties"

Daging sapi merupakan salah satu bahan pokok utama di Indonesia, yang dibuktikan dengan permintaan yang terus meningkat setiap tahunnya. Namun, peningkatan permintaan ini tidak diimbangi dengan suplai yang memadai. Para peternak menghadapi kesulitan dalam mendapatkan lahan yang cukup untuk peternakan serta kurangnya pengetahuan tentang metode pemeliharaan ternak yang bersih dan modern. Di Kota Makassar, ibu kota Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan dengan lebih dari 1,5 juta penduduk, konsumsi daging sapi juga terus meningkat, mencapai rata-rata 15-20 ton per tahun. Sistem peternakan tradisional yang masih diandalkan saat ini tidak mampu memenuhi kebutuhan daging di Kota Makassar. Oleh karena itu, pembangunan kawasan peternakan modern diusulkan untuk meningkatkan suplai daging di Makassar dengan memfasilitasi ternak yang ada serta memastikan proses pembibitan untuk menjaga populasi ternak. Perancangan kawasan peternakan ini mengadopsi konsep arsitektur ramah lingkungan yang fokus pada pengolahan limbah, pencahayaan, dan penghawaan alami, sebagai upaya untuk mencapai zero waste. Metode analisis deskriptif digunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk mengevaluasi penerapan prinsip-prinsip arsitektur ramah lingkungan pada desain kawasan peternakan. Analisis ini mencakup kajian terhadap pengelolaan limbah, optimasi pencahayaan alami, dan sistem penghawaan alami yang diterapkan. Hasil analisis ini diharapkan dapat memberikan gambaran menyeluruh tentang efektivitas dan efisiensi dari konsep arsitektur ramah lingkungan dalam menciptakan kawasan peternakan yang berkelanjutan.
Diplomatic Geography of Xi Jinping: What the Statistics of the Chinese Leader’s Foreign Visits Reveal

Published: July 2024

This article seeks to delineate the foreign policy priorities of the People's Republic of China (PRC) by analyzing the international visits of Chinese President Xi Jinping. It posits that the evolution of a state's foreign policy can be traced through the foreign engagements of its leaders. This is particularly pertinent for China, where presidential visits are historically significant. The article offers an overview of China's traditional diplomacy and the foreign policy activities of Xi Jinping's predecessors. It concludes that Xi Jinping continues to undertake foreign visits in alignment with the «openness» policy, similar to his predecessors. Through a detailed analysis of the frequency and destinations of Xi Jinping's international visits over his two terms, the authors present a periodization of his foreign policy priorities. A comparative analysis is conducted on the visit frequencies of Xi Jinping and his predecessor, Hu Jintao, with adjustments for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. With Xi Jinping's re-election for a third term in 2023, this study provides insights into the nature and priorities of China's foreign policy for his current term and potential developments in the ongoing five-year political cycle. The findings indicate that from 2018 to 2023, Xi Jinping increased his visits to Southeast Asian countries, particularly Indonesia and Vietnam, while maintaining a consistent focus on Russia and the United States, akin to the approach under Jiang Zemin. The enduring partnership with Russia, spanning over two decades, corroborates the assertion that Sino-Russian relations are at their strongest in the history of bilateral ties. Data for this study were sourced from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, and materials from the Chinavitae and China Power research projects.

Sondaken Village has three mangrove zones, each with its own type of plant. The first zone, facing directly towards the sea, is dominated by Avicennia sp. The second zone, in the middle, is characterized by Rizophora sp. The third zone, closer to the land, is predominantly Bruguiera sp. Mangroves have different levels of growth, including seedling level, stake level, pole level, and tree level. The purpose of this study was to determine the types and growth levels of mangroves within its zonation in Sondaken Village, which is part of Bunaken National Park Area. This was done using exploratory and descriptive survey methods, by creating 3 plots in each zone from the edge to the center, with sizes of 10x10 m2, 5x5 m2, and 2x2 m2. The research found that mangrove in Sondaken Village consist of Avicennia sp, Rizophora sp, and Bruguiera sp, with the number of individuals per species being 124, 133, and 113 individuals respectively. Each type of mangrove has different growth levels and numbers.
Acquired Cerebral Achromatopsia Secondary to Occipital Stroke

Published: July 2024

Background: Acquired cerebral achromatopsia, a form of color vision impairment, is infrequently reported and often results from injuries to the occipital cortex.
Case Presentation: We detail a case of a middle-aged women with vascular risk factors who visited the emergency department with blurred vision and disturbances in color perception, characterized as an inability to differentiate colors. A notable finding in her neurological examination was homonymous hemianopia. Hyperacute magnetic resonance imaging revealed a subacute infarction in the right occipital lobe. As she was outside the treatment window for alteplase and invasive interventions, she received aspirin and clopidogrel as treatment.
Discussion: Patients with posterior circulation strokes often present with non-specific symptoms, which can lead to delayed diagnoses and treatment. Acquired cerebral achromatopsia, the inability to perceive color after acute brain injury, is a rare phenomenon associated with PCA stroke that has not been well studied yet. It usually involves the ventral occipitotemporal cortex in V4 complex, which anatomically is theorized to be the brain\'s color center. A comparison was made between two instances of acquired cerebral achromatopsia. In the first case, a 60-year-old woman displayed hemi-achromatopsia in the right visual field. In the second case, a 74-year-old woman suffered two strokes. The first stroke on the left hemisphere resulted only in a right homonymous hemianopia with normal color perception; however, upon the occurrence of the second stroke on the right hemisphere, she developed full field achromatopsia. The contrasting presentations of these cases after lesions in the ventral posterior regions of their left hemisphere suggests a hypothesis that individual differences might exist in the hemispheric laterality of color centers in the brain. Our patient experienced a right subacute occipital stroke; however, she exhibited bilateral achromatopsia. The exact cause of this full field achromatopsia from this specific lesion remains uncertain, but her presentation might support the hypothesis.
Conclusion: Posterior circulation stroke infarctions often present with nonspecific symptoms making timely diagnosis and management challenging. Achromatopsia is an infrequent and subtle manifestation of posterior circulation infarctions that warrant further investigations and management.
