Ranciéit a doprovodné minerály z Rychaltic u Frýdku-Místku (Morava, Česká republika)
Authors: Matýsek Dalibor , Jirásek Jakub , Minaříková Aneta , Skupien Petr
Published: September 2021

Recently described small outcrop of the upper part of the Barnasiówka Formation yielded several manganese oxidic minerals. Outcrop at the bank of the Krnalovice Stream (GPS N 49°38.623’ E 018°14.630’) consists of Lower Turonian greenish to grey-black laminated claystone alternating with grey chert. The whole sequence is a part of the Baška facies of the Silesian Unit, Outer Western Carpathians. In the middle part of the profile occur concretional aggregates containing manganese minerals. The central pale part of these aggregates is composed of quartz (ca. 90 wt.%), albite (ca. 9 wt.%), and muscovite, the darker rim of quartz (ca. 80 wt.%), goethite (ca. 10 wt.%), illite, todorokite, plagioclase, K-feldspar, and pyrite. Occasionally, remains of Mn-rich siderite were preserved in the cores. We suppose that they are in fact weathering products of carbonate-rich silicites. Manganese oxides also enter fissures in form of thin black coatings. Powder X-ray diffraction proved the presence of todorokite, ranciéite, pyrolusite, and possible vernadite. Todorokite forms black coatings with submetallic lustre, often associating with ranciéite. Ranciéite is dark pink to pinkish-brown, with a metallic lustre. Back-scattered electron images reveal its extremely thin tabular, sometimes undulated crystals and hexagonally oriented intergrowths. Powder diffraction data are strongly affected by preferred orientation, with dominating basal reflections of 001 plane at 7.4849 Å and plane 002 at 3.7424 Å. Its average formula from nine WDS spots (Ca0.14Mg0.01Ba0.01K0.01)Σ0.17(Mn4+0.86Si0.02Al0.03Fe0.01)Σ0.92O2.00·0.88H2O (based on 2 anions, water calculated from the ratio of cation sum / H2O in the formula according to Post et al. 2008) and CaO/MnO2 ratio 9 to 12 correspond well to the published data for this phase. Ranciéite is a rather common phyllomanganate from various geological environments, but this locality represents its first unambiguous occurrence in the Czech Republic. It closely resembles the one from Polish flysch Carpathians from Nowa Wieś near Rzesów.

Published: September 2021

Aim of the study is to evaluate the indicators describing the level of solo entrepreneurship among women and men who are beginning entrepreneurs in different countries. Empirical data provided in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitoring Project for fifty-nine countries were used as initial information in calculations. Economic and mathematical modeling was based on development of density functions normal distribution. In the study, three indicators describing solo entrepreneurship in 59 countries were evaluated: share of solo entrepreneurs-women in the total number of women who participate in the creation of their own businesses in different countries; share of solo entrepreneurs-men in total number of men who participate in creation of their own businesses in different countries; ratio of the above-mentioned shares of solo entrepreneurs of women and men. Average values and ranges of changes in considered indicators were determined, which are typical for most countries. In addition, national economies that are characterized by high and low values of each of the three indicators were identified. The study showed that there is a gender gap in the values of indicators in most countries. It is proved that share of women involved in solo entrepreneurship in most countries is higher than that of men.

Published: September 2021

En este artículo se presenta una visión integral del fenómeno socioproductivo que significa la pesca artesanal en el Ecuador, con un seguimiento desde su concepción teórico-conceptual, hasta la manera en que se ha ido articulando a las demandas del enfoque de la sostenibilidad ambiental, así como su caracterización frente a la globalización. El enfoque metodológico utilizado para desarrollar esta investigación se corresponde con la visión cualitativa hermenéutica, sustentada en artículos de actualidad publicados en bases de datos especializadas. En la actualidad, hay pocas dudas acerca de la necesidad de transformación continua que requiere el sector pesquero artesanal, esos cambios son parte de la urgencia que existe para no ser arropado por la dinámica de una economía globalizadora que, en su afán de allanar los obstáculos para el desarrollo (entendido en sus variables economicistas) puede atropellar los principios de la calidad ambiental que implica el “buen vivir”.

Published: September 2021

The reform of 1861 not only freed the peasants from serfdom, but also led to radical economic changes in the agrarian sphere. The peasantry was involved in civil and legal relations associated with the purchase and sale of land. In order to assist land-poor peasants in the purchase of land, a specialized credit institution was created, which issued loans on favorable terms against the security of the acquired land plots. The purpose of this study is to identify the features of the activity of the Peasant Land Bank in the territory of the Penza province of Russia. Based on the materials of the Penza province, the main indicators of the activity of the Peasant Land Bank are analyzed, the dynamics of credit operations, the influence of its activities on the growth of land prices are considered, regional features of the processes under study are indicated. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the creation and operation of the Peasant Land Bank was an element of the government's agricultural policy aimed at creating peasant land tenure by providing loans to buy land from private owners.

Authors: Stamatis Andreas , Morgan Grant B. , Flores Pedro Julián , Barajas Pineda Lenin Tlamatini , Andrade Sánchez Adriana Isabel , Salgado Torres Sarita
Published: September 2021

La fortaleza mental (MT) es un tema ampliamente indagado y relacionado con profesiones, personalidades y la actividad deportiva. El trabajo del psicólogo del deporte es apoyar en el manejo de emociones, el afrontamiento a estresores y establecimiento de metas, haciendo uso de las características multiculturales de los deportistas. Se examinó la invariancia de MT entre atletas estadounidenses y mexicanos a través de la prueba de invarianza, mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio de grupos múltiples con modelos cada vez más restrictivos. El ajuste de los datos del modelo en ambas muestras fue satisfactorio (CFI mexicano = .988, RMSEA mexicano = .085; CFI US = .998, RMSEA US = .032). El modelo de invariancia escalar se seleccionó como el mejor ajuste (escalar CFI = .981, escalar RMSEA = .077). Los resultados implican que el significado del constructo es igual en ambas culturas y sus puntajes pueden compararse directamente. 
Abstract. Mental toughness (TM) is a widely investigated topic related to professions, personalities and sports activity. The work of the sports psychologist is to support the management of emotions, coping with factors and setting goals, making use of the multicultural characteristics of athletes. The invariance of TM was examined between American and Mexican athletes through the invariance test. It was performed by confirmatory factor analysis of multiple groups with increasingly restrictive models. The fit of the model data in both samples was very good (Mexican CFI = .988, Mexican RMSEA = .085; US CFI = .998, US RMSEA = .032). The scalar invariance model was selected as the best fit (CFI scalar = .981, RMSEA scalar = .077). The results imply that the meaning of the construct is the same in both cultures and its scores can be directly compared.

Influencers deportivos y su repercusión en el consumo, la actividad física y su proyección en redes sociales por los adolescentes andaluces (España) (Sports influencers and their impact on consumption, physical activity and their projection on social net
Authors: Gil Quintana Javier , Ruiz Rafael Felipe , Moreno Muro Miguel Ángel
Published: September 2021

El objetivo de la presente investigación, cuyo corte metodológico es mixto, ha sido conocer el impacto que ejercen los influencers deportivos en un grupo poblacional de 404 adolescentes andaluces encuestados y 10 entrevistados cuya edad abarca desde los 16 hasta los 20 años. Atendiendo a los principales hallazgos, se demuestra que estos influencers contribuyen de manera positiva a aumentar el grado de motivación y adherencia por la actividad física. De forma sintética, el estudio establece una disociación entre la modalidad deportiva que se practica y el género del adolescente. Con esta afirmación queda expresado que ambos géneros tienen tendencia a seguir a influencers de su mismo género. Además, no se ha podido determinar que los hombres compren más dispositivos electrónicos que las mujeres. Sin embargo, un aspecto significativo a nivel estadístico es que el género masculino presenta más tendencia por compartir los datos en redes sociales y que los adolescentes que han comprado un dispositivo han intentado, en la mayor medida posible, que la marca se asemeje al que promociona su influencer. Concluimos que la labor que ejercen estos personajes públicos sobre sus seguidores es eficaz y directa, pues son capaces de incidir significativamente y mejorar la calidad de vida de todo aquel que los secunden. 
Abstract. The main of this research, whose methodological approach is mixed, has been to determine (otra opción: was to determine) the impact of sports influencers have on a population group of 404 Andalusian adolescents surveyed and 10 interviewees whose age ranges from 16 to 20 years. According to the main findings, it is shown that these influencers contribute positively to increasing the degree of motivation and adherence to physical activity. In summary, the study establishes a dissociation between the type of sport practiced and the gender of the adolescent. This statement shows that both genders tend to follow influencers of the same gender. In addition, it could not be determined that men buy more electronic devices than women. However, a statistically significant aspect is that males are more likely to share data on social media and that adolescents who have bought a device have tried, as much as possible, to have the brand resemble the one promoted by their influencer. Finally, it is concluded that the work of these public figures over their followers is effective and direct, as they are able to have a significant impact and improve the quality of life of all those who support them.

Authors: Otero Saborido Fernando Manuel , Pozuelo-Estrada Francisco José , Palomino-Devia Constanza
Published: September 2021

La calificación dialogada (CD) es una estrategia de evaluación formativa y compartida de la que existe poca evidencia científica. Por ello, el objetivo principal de este estudio era analizar la percepción del alumnado universitario sobre el uso de la calificación dialogada dentro del modelo flipped learning. Para ello, 144 estudiantes del Grado de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte realizaron un proyecto de trabajo sobre modelos de iniciación deportiva. Tras un proceso de feeback y evaluación continua  sobre la tarea a lo largo de tres semanas, el alumnado compartió una sesión de CD con su docente para la calificación del trabajo. Posteriormente, el alumnado fue preguntado a través de un cuestionario con preguntas semiestructuradas por la sesión de CD. El análisis de las respuestas con el software con Atlas.ti reflejó la percepción positiva del alumnado hacia la CD. Los estudiantes consideran que beneficia al aprendizaje y mejora la interacción con el docente. Así mismo, opinan que la CD habría empeorado si en lugar de utilizar rasgos cualitativos se hubiera negociado sobre calificaciones numéricas. 
Abstract. The dialogue score (DM) is a formative and shared assessment strategy for which there is little scientific evidence. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to analyze the perception of university students on the use of the DM within the flipped learning model. To do this, 144 students from the Degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences carried out a work project on sports initiation models. After a process of feeback and continuous evaluation of the task over three weeks, the students shared a DS session with their teacher to grade the work. The analysis of the interviews with the Atlas.ti software reflected the positive perception of the students towards DM. Students consider that it benefits learning and improves interaction with the teacher. Likewise, they believe that DM would have worsened if instead of using qualitative traits it had been negotiated on numerical ratings.

The complexity of diagnosing and predicting the course of TNF-receptor-associated periodic syndrome TRAPS determines the importance of studying the dependence of clinical manifestations on the variant of genetic mutation and the presence of modifier genes. We observed 5 children with an identified diagnosis of TRAPS. It was established that the disease onset in most cases is defined as a juvenile arthritis with systemic onset. Genetic variants with the replacement of cysteine residues are associated with an early debut and an aggressive course, the c.362G> A p.R121Q mutation is associated with an erosive damage to the spine. The case of a favorable course of TRAPS in siblings with a newly detected mutation is described. The development of urgent complications of TRAPS was revealed when basic therapy with canakinumab was canceled.

Published: September 2021

Although competitive battles should take place in accordance with the procedure established by law, they are often filled with dishonest behavior. For the most part, this is an area of morality, but under certain circumstances even this is given statutory power. We are talking about abuse of rights (bad faith). A retailer may find itself in this position when competing with marketplaces, especially when a common supplier (official distributor) intervenes in the confrontation.
Countering Medicines Trafficking in Russia in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Key Problems and Ways to Solve Them
Authors: Egorov A. V.
Published: September 2021

The article examines a number of key problems in the fight against illicit medicines trafficking in Russia in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the development of a set of organizational and legal measures to increase the effectiveness of such a fight. The author concludes that the scale and severity of the various consequences caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are, to a certain extent, due to imperfect state control over the shadow pharmaceutical sector. In particular, many standard measures of government response to drug trafficking are not effective enough to ensure reliable protection of the population from the negative impact of illegal circulation of counterfeit, substandard, unregistered, counterfeit drugs.

The measures proposed by the author are aimed at improving the efficiency of the system for preventing drug trafficking not only in relation to the modern conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, but also designed to ensure state control over the production and circulation of drugs in any emergency conditions.
Out-of-Competition Granting of Subsidies to Budgetary Institutions as a Violation of Antimonopoly Legislation (Problems of Law Enforcement Practice)
Authors: Nikitin S. I. , Gritchin I. N. , Moskvitin O. A. , Bochinin I. P.
Published: September 2021

The problem of allocation by state authorities (local self-government bodies) of subsidies to state (municipal) institutions as financial support for the performance of state (municipal) tasks for the performance of works (provision of services) that are the authority of a state authority (local self-government body) is considered. It is noted that the possibility of granting such subsidies in accordance with the rules of budget legislation does not in itself mean that the relevant actions cannot have a real or potential negative impact on the state of competition. It is established that subsidization of budgetary institutions for the performance of works (services) that are state (municipal) needs, without conducting competitive procedures, entails unjustifiably granting a preferential position to the relevant institutions over other economic entities.

Published: September 2021

Objective: To evaluate the association between EAT volume and attenuation and high-risk coronary plaque (HRP) in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Material and Methods: In this prospective study were enrolled, from November 2020 to August 2021, consecutive patients who underwent cardiac computed tomography (CCT) for suspected ACS. All exams were performed using a 2x192-slice dual source CT scanner. EAT volume and attenuation were evaluated in all patients. HRP was defined as plaque with more than 2 high-risk features (low attenuation plaque, positive remolding, napkin-ring sign, spotty calcification) on CCT image. Based on the presence or absence of HRP patients were divided into two groups and EAT volume and attenuation were compared. Results: In this study were enrolled 106 patients: 37 with HRP and 69 without HRP. Patients with HRP have higher EAT volume and attenuation than those without HRP, respectively, 119.0±14.0 cm3 vs 96.3±8.3 cm3 (p<0.0001) and -85.7±15.7 HU vs -95.0±18.4 HU (p=0.0108). After adjustment by coronary calcium score (CCS) and coronary stenosis, EAT volume and attenuation were independent risk predictors of presence of HRP. Conclusions: Higher EAT volume and attenuation are associated with HRP in patient with ACS and are independent of CCS and coronary stenosis.

This article discusses the problem of vibration of aircraft turbine engines, given the imbalance of the rotor stages. It is shown that the amount of information contained in the data obtained by constant measurements of the amplitudes and frequencies of the transverse vibration of the motors, especially in the case of a multirotor, cannot be excessive. The interconnections of these parameters with the structural form of the rotors, the quality of their implementation and assembly, the effect on the gaps in the bearings and the capabilities of detecting emergency engine conditions are presented.

The increase of waste generation has been counted as a significant challenge to big cities worldwide and represents a critical issue for countries with high urbanization rate. The effective use of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing is the way to change existing MSW management by developing an efficient, cos-effective, and environmentally friendly solution for MSW collection and transportation system. In this paper an IoT-based reference model is described, and a comparison analysis of the available solutions is presented, with the goal to highlight the most relevant approaches.
A CADEIA DE CUSTÓDIA NA COLETA DA PROVA DIGITAL DE ACORDO COM A LEI 13.964/2019, DOS SEUS ARTIGOS 158-A AO 158-F

Published: September 2021

O presente estudo teve objetivo de identificar os procedimentos necessários para a realização da coleta da prova digital e relatar os fatores de risco que podem prejudicar a prova digital obtida sobre entendimento dos doutrinadores sobre a valoração ou nulidade da prova que não teve cadeia de custódia ou houve violação da sua cadeia de custódia. Para tal foram utilizadas pesquisas bibliográficas. Constatou-se que em virtude da natureza da evidência digital, foi necessário padronizar o seu tratamento a fim de garantir sua integridade e autenticidade. Sobre as posições dos eminentes autores quanto à solução da quebra da cadeia de custódia, são frontalmente contrárias, inclinando a doutrina majoritária no sentido de que eventuais vícios na cadeia de custódia não acarretam, de plano e por si só, a inadmissibilidade ou a nulidade da prova.
Stripping the Soul of Asante Naked: A History of Opanin Saniagya in Asante Chronicle
Authors: OSAFO Bruno
Published: September 2021

The paper examines a critical theme in Asante History at a crucial time of the life of the once powerful nation. It discusses the origins and significance of the Golden Stool (Sika dwa Kofi) to the existence and survival of the Asante nation. The paper further shows instances in Asante history where the Asante nation went to war rather than allow anyone to capture or defile the sacred Golden Stool. The piece then provides detailed information on how the venerated Sika dwa Kofi was defiled by one Saniagya, and also gives an account of Asanteman´s response to what could, arguably, pass for the highest act of sacrilege in Asante history yet.
What Color is Black: Epistemic Disobedience in Jean Genet’s The Blacks
Authors: MAZOUZ Hicham
Published: September 2021

Jean Genet’s writing has generated controversies over the years, particularly his advocacy for demoting whiteness and its means of domination. He is primarily regarded as an angry homosexual white French male who portrays grotesque shadows of humanity in his work. In his 1959 Play The Blacks, Genet describes the way Blacks are categorized in France through the mediation of abjecting politics of disgust, which cast black bodies as repulsive and outside the pole. At the same time, The Blacks considers the strategies of resistance and critique that are available to these bodies and those working alongside with them. Characters in The Blacks conform to the roles that they are given, therefore creating a visual mask over their identity. For Genet acting becomes a (positively) perverse and subversive mean for gaining power over oppression by taking an art from something that is traditionally based in strict role playing and turning it into a form of individual and collective expression necessary to “negatively” creating what can then be conceived as an assertively “positive” socio-political identity.

Published: September 2021

Mole National Park (MNP), Ghana’s largest protected area and most notable wildlife destination, permits tourists to view elephants and other wildlife species in their natural habitat. The elephant, a charismatic mega-herbivore and one of the ‘Big Five’ plays a flagship role in attracting tourists world- wide to protected areas. The paucity of information on habitat conditions, elephant numbers, trends and distribution has brought some uncertainty regarding elephants in tourism activities of the park. This study used both spatial data and structured questionnaire to examine the prevalence and distribution of elephants in MNP and the likelihood of tourists encountering elephants while visiting the park. A total of 120 respondents formed the basis of the study. Results revealed a drastic decline in elephant encounters in 2009 accompanied by a slight increase in 2011. The study showed that presence of the elephants has a significant effect on tourists’ patronage of the park.
Political instability and tourism in Ghana (1966-1981)
Authors: Opare-Addo Felix Yobo
Published: September 2021

In the 1960s most governments in West Africa, including Ghana which was under the leadership of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana began to incorporate tourism into their economic development plans. The idea was to diversify the economy in order to provide infrastructural development, economic and social prosperity for populace. Unfortunately, Nkrumah’s government was toppled in 1966. In the subsequent years, Ghana experienced a period of political instability. This paper takes a critical look at the efforts of the various governments in Ghana (from 1957 to 1981) to develop tourism in terms of their policies and their roles as agents of tourism development; the creation of a conducive environment for tourism to flourish, the involvement of the private sector both foreign and local, the provision of tourism infrastructure and how political instability impacted negatively on tourism development in terms of the flow of international tourist arrivals, potential investors, tourism product development and delivery, and tourism receptive facilities.
Job satisfaction and organizational commitment: experiences of family-owned hotels in Ho, Ghana
Authors: T. Appaw-Agbola Esther , Mensah Christopher , A.Kugbonu Mawufemor
Published: September 2021

The study investigates the interplay between demographic variables, job satisfaction and organisational commitment among workers in family-owned hotels in Ho, Ghana. A convenience sample of 280 employees selected from 45 facilities participated in the study by completing self-administered questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and PLS-SEM were used to analyse the data. Path results showed a positive and significant association between extrinsic job satisfaction and affective and continuance commitment. There was a significantly positive association between intrinsic satisfaction and affective and normative commitment. Furthermore, employees within the age group of 30-40 years exhibited higher levels of intrinsic satisfaction and affective commitment compared to those in the 45-50-year age group. The findings of the study provide important implications for family-owned hotels. Managers and proprietors of family-owned hotels must embark on strategies that will help to improve extrinsic and intrinsic satisfaction as well as affective and normative commitment.
For Popularity, Pleasure, or Other Reasons? The Treatment of Sex in The Novels of Ayi Kwei Armah
Authors: Oppong Adjei Daniel
Published: September 2021

Sex or the intimate relationship between or among characters is an act that is explicitly depicted in the novels of Ayi Kwei Armah for various purposes. The purpose of sex should not just be sex for the sake of sex, or for the sake of making a writer ‘popular’. The paper argues that the act of sex plays a number of literary functions in these relationships. The thematic as well as other literary relevance of sex is explored through literary concepts such as ‘linguistic foregrounding’ and ‘paradigmatic associations’. Through these literary concepts of stylistic analysis, it becomes clear that sex plays the following roles in Armah’s novels: serves as an avenue for characterization; establishes a relationship as loving or adrift; is a tool of oppression and also vengeance; creates suspense and retains readers’ interest; obscures the real story plot for a literary effect such as ‘to motivate but also shock his (Armah’s) audience into activity’ (Fubara 72); and cures characters’ negative emotions like loneliness and anguish, among other roles. The paper concludes that Armah’s treatment of sex in largely explicit terms in his novels is not gratuitous, but fundamental for the appreciation of his literary works.
Speak Like You Were Dead: Episteme of the Ghosted in Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger
Authors: Mukherjee Sharmila Mukherjee
Published: September 2021

Aravind Adiga’s 2008 Man Booker Prize-winning novel, The White Tiger has been hailed as a paradigmatic narrative of postcolonial wealth-formation in the 21st century, and as a novel that speaks to the “shining” India of globalization in its transformative moment of an emergent centrality on the global stage. I argue that The White Tiger, by using counter-intuitive epistemes, is also a transnational novel whose primary motive is to offer a trenchant critique of global neoliberalism, and its underlying epistemes of violence and inequality. Through the voice of its protagonist Balram Halwai, the novel, I claim, projects the 21st century postcolonial nation of India as Capital’s colony—a thriving and free “market”, if you will—whose well-being, in turn, is predicated on the phagocytizing of the human capital of the other India that is hidden from the gazes of those who admiringly gawk at “shining” India of Capital.
