Investigation of regularities of occurrence of external effects of education and their significance for the economic development
Authors: Karanashev A. Kh. , Blinnikova A. V. , Orekhov V. D.
Published: December 2021

The aim of the research is to assess the quantitative impact of education on the emergence of externalities and economic development. It has been shown that the increase in the education of specialists in interaction with innovative activity contributes to the emergence of external effects, which have a high level of significance for economic dynamics. As a result, the total contribution to GDP, as a result of an additional year of study for a specialist with a higher education, increases by about 50%. Realizing this effect, the largest economies of the world (the USA, the European Union, China and Japan) have been increasing the share of specialists with tertiary (vocational) education approximately linearly at a rate of 0,8 ±0,2% per year over the past 25 years. For Russia, the positive effect of a high level of tertiary education is significantly reduced due to the problems of interaction with the economic environment. The income that innovators themselves receive is, in a significant proportion of cases, relatively small. In particular, for the «Open Distance Education» innovation, the innovator's income was about 0,3% of the income of other recipients of benefits from the innovation. A significantly large share of the income from innovation is realized as an external effect of other users of the innovation, especially the consumers of the manufactured products and followers. Quantitative estimates of the external contribution to GDP of the innovation «Open Distance Education» show that they amount to about 14 thousand dollars per graduate, and only 340 million dollars a year. The findings can be used to assess the impact of education and develop strategies for staff training and innovation development.

Published: December 2021

An experiment was conducted on the impact of different levels of bulk densities combination on yield and yield components of wheat. Three bulk density levels 1.00-1.30 (A) g cm-3, 1.30-1.60 (B) g cm-3 and 1.60-1.90 (C) g cm-3 with three different depths (0-15, 16-30 and 31-45 cm) were used in the experiment using silt loam soil (Pedocals). The total treatments were 27 in the experiment with three replications. The experimental design was completely randomized design (CRD). The treatment means were checked at the confidence level of 95% of probability. The soil 0-45 cm deep was shifted from the field (no-till) to the net house and was act as control. The results showed that the number of tillers plant-1, number of leaves plant-1 and thousand grain yield were non-significantly affected by all the treatments while number of seed emerged, root length, dry root weight, plant height, grain yield , biological yield  and harvest index  were significantly influenced by various treatments. The highest number of seed germinated (8.00) was found in the treatment BBB (1.30-1.60 g cm-3 in 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm, 30-45 cm soil depth), BAB (1.30-1.60 g cm-3 in 0-15 cm, 1.00-1.30 g  cm-3 in 15-30 cm and 1.30-1.60 g cm-3 in 30-45 cm soil depth) and BCB (1.30-1.60 g cm-3 in 0-15 cm, 1.60-1.90 g cm-3 in 15-30 cm and 1.30-1.60 g cm-3  in 30-45 cm) while the lowest number of seed emerged (3.6) was found in AAA (1.00-1.30 g  cm-3 in 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm and 30-45 cm soil depth), ACA (1.00-1.30 g  cm-3 in 0-15 cm, 1.60-1.90 g cm-3 in 15-30 cm and 1.00-1.30 g  cm-3 in 30-45 cm soil depth) and CAC (1.60-1.90 g cm -3 in 0-15 cm, 1.00-1.30 g  cm-3 in 15-30 cm and 1.60-1.90 g cm-3 in 30-45 cm soil depth). The highest root length (13.12 cm) was found in the treatment AAA while the lowest root length (10.05 cm) was found in CAC. The highest dry root weight (5.67g) was found in the treatment ABA while the lowest dry root weight (4.79g) was found in control treatment. The highest plant height (42.67 cm) was found in the treatment of BBA while the lowest plant height (29.67 cm) was found in control. The highest biological yield (12.1 metric ton ha-1) was found in the treatment ABA while the lowest biological yield (6.8 metric ton ha-1) was found in control. The highest grain yield (4.4 metric ton ha-1) was found by ABB while the lowest (2.7 metric ton ha-1) was found in the control. The highest harvest index (39.79%) was found in the control while the lowest harvest index (34.54%) was found in CCA. The experiment showed that increasing bulk density above 1.60 g cm-3 resulted in decreasing the yield and yield component of the winter wheat. The number of seed emerged, root length, dry root weight, plant height, grain yield, biological yield and harvest index of wheat were significantly affected by soil bulk density in various depths.

Authors: Saeed R. , Qasim M. , Mahmood I. , Akhtar W.
Published: December 2021

Many socioeconomic, institutional and biophysical factors are causing high wheat yield variation among wheat growers in the country in general and in the Punjab province in specific. Ultimate purpose of present study was to determine factors affecting probability of wheat yield being in low, medium or high ordinals given the set of yield changing inputs. Cross-sectional data collected from randomly selected 320 wheat growers with 80 respondents from each of four agro-ecological regions of Punjab Province was analyzed through proportional odds model to obtain the study objectives. The study found out some socio-economic and agro-ecology related variables such as age, tractor ownership, role of income diversification through part-time farming, the contribution of smallholder tenants and owner-cum-tenants and chemical fertilizers that can significantly affect wheat yield categories of low, medium or high. Based on findings, it is imperative to support young innovative farmers having their own farm machinery, generate off-farm/on-farm income generating avenues for part-time farmers, and provide more facilities to smallholder farmers of both tenants as well as owner-cum tenant class in enhancing their wheat production of higher level. Moreover, agriculture advisory services should focus more on the cotton-wheat zone accompanied by appropriate use of seed rate, chemical fertilizers, and plant protection measures to enhance wheat yield in Punjab Province.

Formación Inicial docente en Chile y su alineamiento con las temáticas educativas de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS)
Authors: Mundaca Gómez Rodrigo Andrés , Sancristobal Luis Carro
Published: December 2021

Los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) y su agenda educativa 2030, representa los debates y acuerdos que se dan a nivel mundial sobre los compromisos de la humanidad para con nuestra casa común “el planeta”. En ese contexto, la formación del profesorado se les reconoce como pilar fundamental para alcanzar una educación de calidad, inclusiva y sostenible para todos, desde un enfoque humanista de la educación y el desarrollo. El foco investigativo se centró en saber cómo se están alineando los proyectos de Formación Inicial Docente (FID) en Chile con relación a las temáticas educativas ODS, para lo cual se abordan tres líneas documentales: la política institucional (PEI, Modelo Educativo); Identidad profesional (Perfiles de egreso); y los planes y programas de estudio. Se sigue procedimientos metodológicos y técnicos propios del paradigma cualitativo basado en la teoría fundamentada.

Los resultados muestran, que las temáticas educativas ODS forman parte de las narrativas institucionales, identitarias y programáticas, como contenidos transversales o en asignaturas. Sin embargo, su presencia es baja o deficitaria, especialmente en temáticas como el “Desarrollo Sostenible” e “Igualdad de género”. Por lo que, se puede concluir que existe un alineamiento en proceso. El supuesto es que serían respuestas adaptativas más que una ruptura con el modelo pedagógico tradicional.

The Partnership of Patriarchy and Capitalism in Cho Nam-joo’s Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982
Authors: Rui Feng  , Talif Rosli
Published: December 2021

Socialist feminism, which emerged in the 1970s, aims to solve female oppression and make a comprehensive and innovative understanding of gender, class, capitalism, and male domination. As the mainstay of the socialist feminist school, the ideas of Hartmann and Young make significant contributions to the development of the theory. Hartmann first proposed dual systems theory, and Young published her single system response shortly after. To a certain extent, Young’s new thinking and questioning of dual systems theory also supplement and go into some of the arguments by Hartmann that are not clear enough. Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is an English-translated novel written by contemporary South Korean writer and screenwriter Cho Nam-joo. The novel was translated into English by award-winning translator Jamie Chang in 2020. The plight of women highlighted in this novel caused widespread controversy in the international community, especially in East Asian countries. This article examines the oppression of women in Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, by the long-term interaction between patriarchy and capitalism. This study adopts a research method combining theoretical interpretation and close reading of the text. It addresses the research gap by focusing on a new perspective on the causes of Cho’s female characters’ oppression through the dual systems theory by Hartmann.

Neutrosophy is a flourishing arena which conceptualizes the notion of true, falsity and indeterminancy attributes of an event. In the study of dynamical systems, an orbit is a collection of points related by the evolution function of the dynamical system. Hence in this paper we focus on introducing the concept of neutrosophic orbit topological space denoted as (X, tNO). Also, some of the important characteristics of neutrosophic orbit open sets are discussed with suitable examples.

Lotus tenuis and Schedonorus arundinaceus co-culture exposed to defoliation and water stress
Authors: García Ileana V.
Published: December 2021

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of defoliation frequency (low and high) and water stress (excess or deficit) on biomass production, P and N nutrition, and symbiosis with native soil microorganisms on a Lotus tenuis and Schedonorus arundinaceus co-culture in a pot experiment. Combined effects of defoliation frequency and water stress affected plant accumulated shoot biomass. L. tenuis root biomass decreased in response to defoliation and water stress, while S. arundinaceus root biomass was similar between non-defoliated and defoliated plants, at all water levels. Low and high frequencies of defoliation in a waterlogged soil can be considered the most stressful scenario for L. tenuis and S. arundinaceus co-culture. Colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in L. tenuis roots and dark septate endophytes colonization in S. arundinaceus roots were affected by both factors, whereas arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization in S. arundinaceus was affected only by water stress. Both plants tolerated defoliation and water stress due to the interaction between the translocation of nutrients and carbon compounds from roots to shoots, and P and N absorption (plus N2 fixation in L. tenuis).
Highlights:

Both plants tolerated defoliation and water stress due to the interaction between the translocation of nutrients and carbon compounds from roots to shoots, and P and N absorption (plus N2 fixation in tenuis).
Low and high frequencies of defoliation in a waterlogged soil can be considered the most stressful scenario for tenuis and S. arundinaceus co-culture.
Defoliation frequency increased AM colonization in plant roots under well watered and water deficit conditions.
arundinaceus roots were co-colonized by AM fungi and DSE.
Promoting the presence of tenuis through low defoliation frequency would improve forage yield and quality with the maintenance of AM symbiosis in legume–grass communities.

Published: December 2021

The objective of this study was to assess the competitive ability of canola (Brassicanapus var. oleifera) hybrids in competition with black oat (Avena strigosa) in a subtropical environment. The experiments were conducted in a greenhouse where canola hybrids ‘Hyola 61,’ ‘Hyola 76,’ ‘Hyola 433,’ and ‘Hyola 571’ were tested individually for their competitive performance with black oat. The plant proportion between black oat and the canola hybrid was changed (100%:0%; 75%:25%; 50%:50%; 25%:75%; and 0%:100%) while keeping the total population of plants constant (20 plants plot‑1). Photosynthesis rate (μmol m-2 s-1), internal CO2 concentration (μmol mol-1), and  transpiration rate (mol H2O m-2 s-1) were assessed using an infrared gas analyzer 55 days after emergence. Leaf area (m2 m-2) and dry matter (g m-2) were also assessed on the same day. The data set was analyzed by the replacement series method for competition studies. There was evidence of intense competition between canola and black oat, independent of plant proportion. The competitive ability of canola was distinct among hybrids; Hyola 571 performed better than the others in the competition against black oat. Choosing the most competitive hybrid, such as Hyola 571, helps maintain high canola grain yield levels in areas infested with black oat.
Highlights:

There is difference in competition among canola hybrids against black oat; Hyola 571 performed better in the competition;
Preference should be given for most competitive canola genotypes against weeds, and weed control should be carried out early in the critical period of interference;
Aggressiveness is the most preponderant parameter in determining canola genotypes with superior ability in competition against weeds.
Modeling natural mortality for different plant densities in dendroenergetic trials
Authors: Sandoval Simon , Acuña Eduardo , Cancino Jorge , Rubilar Rafael
Published: December 2021

Mortality was modelled for three species (Acacia melanoxylon, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Eucalyptus nitens) at three plantation densities (5000, 7500, and 10000 trees ha-1) in an trial of biomass production for purposes of dendroenergetic. One modelling based on individual tree level and two mortality modelling alternatives were evaluated: four survival probability equations and eight difference equations. The individual tree survival modelling considered a logistic model, is a linear combination of variables to individual tree at current time  and the previous time as estimator, being the main variables the variation of the competition index and the variation of basal area growth between the current growth period and the previous growth period. The survival probability alternative used state variables of the stand (age, dominant height, average square diameter) as predictors, whereas the difference equations were adjusted according to age-based changes only. The models to stand levels showed better result than individual tree models, and in general, the mortality models based on difference equations presented better indicators of precision and parsimony. The rate of relative mortality was constant, i.e., (dN/dE)/N, and varied between species, revealing greater mortality, consecutively, in E. nitens, A. melanoxylon, and E. camaldulensis. Although mortality tended to be higher at greater plantation densities, stand density did not significantly affect the parameters of the adjusted models.
Highlights

The mortality stand level models showed better results than the individual tree models for dendroenergetic crops, and in general, the mortality models based on difference equations presented better precision indicators and parsimony.
The survival probability alternative involved state variables of the stand like age, dominant height, and average square diameter as predictors, while the difference equations were fitted according to age-based changes only.
Mortality tended to be higher at greater plantation densities, however stand density did not significantly affect the parameters of the mortality equations.
Chinese consumers’ purchase intention of fresh cherries: Modeling of relations between satisfaction and perceived quality
Authors: Chiang Andrés , Aguilera Mauricio , Cabana Ricardo , Mora Marcos
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this study was to model Chinese consumers’ intention to purchase fresh cherries through direct and indirect relations and mediating role between perceived intrinsic quality, perceived extrinsic quality and satisfaction. The analytical method used was a structural equation modeling (SEM). Surveys were applied to 388 buyers in three traditional markets in Beijing, China. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, which presented an adequate goodness of fit to accept the model, according to the literature, which confirmed the relations. The results showed, that perceived extrinsic quality and satisfaction are directly and significantly related to Chinese consumers’ intention to purchase fresh cherries. Additionally, an indirect and significant relationship was found between perceived intrinsic quality and purchase intention, through the mediating role of satisfaction.
Highlights:

Only the intrinsic perceived quality in fresh cherries is directly and significantly related to the satisfaction of Chinese consumers, generating indirect effects on the purchase intention through the mediating role of satisfaction, which is opposed to the results obtained in extrinsic perceived quality.
The results obtained in this study determined that the intrinsic perceived quality does not present a direct and significant relationship with the purchase intention in fresh cherries, a result in conflict with that obtained in the extrinsic perceived quality.
It was statistically demonstrated that intrinsic perceived quality has an indirect and significant influence on purchase intention through the mediating role of satisfaction; on the other hand, no indirect and significant influence was found between perceived extrinsic quality and purchase intention as a result of the mediating role of satisfaction.
Satisfaction has a direct and significant relation on the purchase intention of Chinese consumers.
The results of this research seem to be in line with the marketing initiatives developed by ASOEX, enhancing the attributes of intrinsic quality, color and size, and linking it to celebrations and traditions, through activities such as "Super Cherries days", "Chilean Cherries dance" and "Cherries from Chile", activities that have also been enhanced by public policies and agreements such as the free trade agreement between the two countries in force since 2005.

This study evaluated the effects of different energy sources, as corn substitutes, on the carcass characteristics and meat quality of lambs. Twenty-four intact ram lambs were identified, weighed, and assigned to one of four dietary treatments: corn, citrus pulp, rice bran, and soybean hulls. The ram lambs were confined in feedlots, and when they reached 30 kg of live weight, they were slaughtered. A  completelyrandomized design with different replicates was used for the analysis, along with the Tukey-5% test. For hot and cold carcass weight, rice bran produced lower values than the other dietary treatments. For the red color content of the meat, citrus pulp presented superior values when compared to corn, whereas meat and fat color, loin eye area, and objective tenderness did not differ between treatments. Different energetic sources used to replace corn in ram lambs finishing diets did not affect the proximate composition and quality of the meat.
Highlights: 
• Addition of rice bran to the lambs' diet resulted in lower hot and cold carcass weight.• Animals fed soybean hulls presented the highest carcass compactness index values.• Rice bran extended the feedlot period of lambs in 59.33 days, been longer than the others energies sources.• Corn, rice bran, citrus pulp and soybean hulls did not change the quality of meat but the inclusion of rice bran should be carefully evaluated.

A ecoeficiência abrange uma série de princípios que norteiam diretrizes para a relação sustentável das empresas com o meio ambiente. Avaliou-se a partir de informações públicas o Sistema Produtor São Lourenço quanto à ecoeficiência, e constatou-se que de 8 princípios, 6 são satisfatórios. Os princípios com resultados insatisfatórios foram a redução da quantidade de energia utilizada e o apoio à reciclagem. Os resultados se justificam a partir da escassez de água da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo, demandando a captação de água de mananciais distantes, com alto gasto energético, bem como, em relação ao apoio à reciclagem, limitações técnicas, legais e econômicas para que não haja reciclagem do lodo da ETA. De modo geral, o sistema se mostrou satisfatório em termos de ecoeficiência, reforçando o compromisso das empresas envolvidas com o meio ambiente.
Combining Evidence from Auditory, Instantaneous Frequency and Random Forest for Anti-Noise Speech Recognition
Authors: Liao Kun
Published: December 2021

Due to the shortcomings of acoustic feature parameters in speech signals, and the limitations of existing acoustic features in characterizing the integrity of the speech information, This paper proposes a method for speech recognition combining cochlear feature and random forest. Environmental noise can pose a threat to the stable operation of current speech recognition systems. It is therefore essential to develop robust systems that are able to identify speech under low signal-to-noise ratio. In this paper, we propose a method of speech recognition combining spectral subtraction, auditory and energy features extraction. This method first extract novel auditory features based on cochlear filter cepstral coefficients (CFCC) and instantaneous frequency (IF), i.e., CFCCIF. Spectral subtraction is then introduced into the front end of feature extraction, and the extracted feature is called enhanced auditory features (EAF). An energy feature Teager energy operator (TEO) is also extracted, the combination of them is known as a fusion feature. Linear discriminate analysis (LDA) is then applied to feature selection and optimization of the fusion feature. Finally, random forest (RF) is used as the classifier in a non-specific persons, isolated words, and small-vocabulary speech recognition system. On the Korean isolated words database, the proposed features (i.e., EAF) after fusion with Teager energy features have shown strong robustness in the nosiy situation. Our experiments show that the optimization feature achieved in a speech recognition task display a high recognition rate and excellent anti-noise performance.
High School Teachers’ Perceptions of the Intercultural Communicative Language Teaching (ICLT) Model Applied in Language Classrooms- A Case Study of a Vietnamese High School

Published: December 2021

This study exemplifies itself as an attempt to bridge theory and practice in developing high school learners’ intercultural communicative competence (ICC) through language teaching. In particular, it aims to introduce the Intercultural Communicative Language Teaching (ICLT) model to teachers through seminars for teaching practice in a high school context. Teachers’ perceptions of the model were investigated via two rounds of interviews and classroom observations. Ten teachers in a high school in the Mekong Delta Region participated in the first stage of seminars and round-one interviews and three continued to proceed to the second phase of lesson planning and teaching practice. Findings from the study revealed a high level of awareness the teachers had regarding the need to integrate cultural aspects and develop students’ ICC. The teachers perceived contextual conditions in their school as favourable for integrating cultural contents in their English lessons. Yet, the urge to abide by the prescribed curriculum and textbooks, and the exam backwash effects appeared to discourage them to confidently adopt a more language-culture balanced approach in teaching. The teachers were also found to wholeheartedly welcome the ICLT model for its values in promoting more weight on cultural aspects and bringing more motivation to learners. The model was perceived as teacher-friendly and highly feasible in their context thanks to its resemblance to the CLT teaching approach that they were familiar with. Heavy workload in lesson preparation, time restriction in the curriculum and teachers’ lack of confidence in their own cultural and intercultural knowledge and skills were found to be key challenges to the teachers’ practice when the ICLT model was applied.

This study created a new model to explore the impact of social network word of mouth on the credibility of the website platform factors. This model contains three assumptions, including website trust, consumer repurchase, and timely response from website customer service. This structure has been discussed a lot in e-commerce literature. This hypothesis is explored through empirical research testing. The data of this study is a questionnaire survey of consumers on a platform of a case company. The data is collected from 100 consumers in 2014.The results show that the word-of-mouth information and online immediacy have a relevant influence and help on consumers' re-purchase behavior. At the same time, the results show that there is a good interaction between online word-of-mouth and online immediacy. The results of this study provide useful insights into how to enhance consumers' perception of online word-of-mouth messages and online immediacy in order to enhance the behavioral impact on consumers' repurchase intentions.

The transition from pre-service teachers into novice teachers is a challenging process that has certain effects on teachers' lifelong careers. This study was conducted with the aim of exploring the job challenges that novice EFL high school teachers in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam faced in their first five years of teaching practice. This descriptive study adopted two research tools, including questionnaire and semi-structured interview. Thirty novice EFL high school teachers responded to the questionnaire and four of them were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview. The results showed that novice EFL high school teachers encountered job challenges at a medium frequency level. Specifically, based on the results of three One-Sample T Tests, it can be concluded that the novices were confronted with school context challenges at a high level, followed by the medium level of learners and classroom management challenges. Novices just dealt with lesson-related challenges at a low level. In addition, the findings from the semi-structured interviews presented several different job challenges including applying the teaching methods learned at university, lesson preparation, students’ negative attitudes towards learning English, students’ proficiency, workload, and pressure of achievement or credit-driven practice. Future studies on novice EFL teachers’ job challenges should be done on a larger scale and scope, and employ multiple research methods to collect the data.

Nam quan hệ tình dục đồng giới (Men who have sex with men – MSM) có nguy cơ cao lây truyền HIV qua đường quan hệ tình dục hậu môn. Nghiên cứu cắt ngang trên 240 MSM từ 16 tuổi mới biết nhiễm HIV đến khám tại Viện Pasteur TPHCM và Bệnh viện Bệnh nhiệt đới TPHCM (BVBNĐ) đã được triển khai nhằm mô tả đặc điểm dịch tễ, hành vi nguy cơ và tình trạng suy giảm miễn dịch trên nhóm này. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy nhóm MSM mới phát hiện nhiễm HIV này là nhóm dân số trẻ (IQR 22 - 29 tuổi), chủ yếu độc thân (93,3%), trình độ học vấn từ cao đẳng, đại học trở lên chiếm tỷ lệ cao (40,4%). Tỷ lệ MSM tự nhận là người “nhận” (44,2%) cao hơn tỷ lệ MSM tự nhận là người “cho’’ (21,2%) vàtrung bình có 4,3 bạn tình trong vòng 12 tháng qua. Tỷ lệ sử dụng bao cao su (BCS) thường xuyên thấp (26,2%). Chỉ 3,8 % MSM đã hoặc đang uống PrEP. Tỷ lệ MSM có xét nghiệm HIV trong 12 tháng qua và chưa từng xét nghiệm HIV tương ứng là 17,5% và 65,0%. Tỉ lệ đồng nhiễm giang mai là 39,7%. Tỷ lệ MSM được chẩn đoán HIV khi có suy giảm miễn dịch (SGMD) tiến triển và nặng chiếm 59,6%. Do vậy tăng cường tuyên truyền, giáo dục nâng cao ý thức tự bảo vệ bản thân khỏi lây nhiễm HIV và chủ động xét nghiệm HIV định kỳ ở nhóm MSM là hết sức cần thiết để ngăn chặn đại dịch HIV.
