Donggala fish landing centre is a fishery infrastructure of Donggala Regency provided for Mamuju Regency fishermen, West Sulawesi. Capture fisheries activities in PPI Donggala are incorporating various stages from landing to marketing. All capture fisheries activities are related to the PPI Donggala’s technical and operational condition. Some of purse seine fishing units did not land their catches at PPI Donggala which affect the performance of the fishing port. This study aims to identify the PPI Donggala’s technical and operational condition in compliance with PERMEN-KP RI NUMBER PER.08/MEN/2012 concerning Fisheries Ports. The research method is a case study conducted at PPI Donggala. Data were collected by interviews and literature studies, then analyzed using comparative descriptive method. The results of the study showed the technical and operational conformity of the port at PPI Donggala with PERMEN KP 08/2012 on Fisheries Port has met technical and operational criteria. However, there are still technical and operational constraints in PPI Donggala. The obstacle is that the pier is still damaged and the marketing of the catch has not been widespread.

Blue swimming crab fishing using collapsible traps is widely used by fishermen because its caught live crabs and high selectivity. However, the passive fishing operation causes its low fishing productivity. The success of crabs fishing using folding traps is influenced by the suitability of the entrance design used. The size of the net and the inclination angle that are not by the crab's behavior will cause the crab to fail to be caught. This study aims to determine the more effective entrance design for catching crabs using the collapsible trap. The study was conducted in a laboratory using three mesh sizes, including 1.00, 1.25, and 1.50 inches with 30°, 40°, and 50° inclination angles. Each treatment combination uses different individual crabs. The study was conducted at night in an aquarium equipped with an infrared camera. Differences in mesh size and angle of inclination affect the crab's success rate and crawling speed in crossing the net field. The results showed that the highest percentage of crabs that successfully crossed the net field was obtained using a 1.25-inch mesh with an angle of 40°. The highest average crawling speed was also obtained at the same mesh size and angle of inclination. The use of a 1.25-inch mesh with an angle of 40° is expected to increase the effectiveness of catching crabs with folding traps.

Identifying and Debunking Environmentally-Related False News Stories – An Experimental Investigation
Authors: Grüner Sven
Published: November 2021

The vast majority of studies in the realm of false information are currently conducted in the realm of political topics and Covid-19. This study addresses environmentally-related news stories. With the help of two experiments, I explore determinants that can explain who is good at distinguishing between accurate (i.e., factually correct) and false information and compare several intervention scenarios to debunk false information. In experiment one, subjects had to rate environmentally-related news stories as accurate or false. Afterward, subjects received systematically varied information about the correctness of the news stories depending on the experimental condition they had been randomly assigned to. After a period of three weeks, the subjects were asked to evaluate the news stories again (experiment two). In experiment one, I find that the perceived familiarity with news stories increased the propensity to accept them as true. Moreover, actively open-minded thinking helped to distinguish between accurate and false information. But the willingness to think deliberately did not seem to be important. In experiment two, it can be found that by repeating false news stories, subjects were more likely to adequately identify them later (i.e., no evidence for a familiarity backfire effect). However, it decreased the likelihood to adequately identify accurate news stories. A somewhat reverse, but weaker effect occurred when factually correct news stories were repeated: the correct identification of accurate news stories was more successful, but the opposite holds for the identification of false news stories.

Published: November 2021

This predictive cross-sectional study explored core self-evaluation, level of writing motivation, and their influence on the business writing performance of junior business students at Occidental Mindoro State College. One hundred fifty junior business students of Occidental Mindoro State College Main Campus in Academic Year 2020-2021 selected through a simple random sampling technique were the respondents in the study. It was found that the student’s level of core self-evaluation was moderate considering their results in the locus of control, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. However, the students are highly motivated in performing their writing activities. Therefore, the improvement in core self-evaluation may slightly improve writing motivation and writing performance. Likewise, improving writing motivation may slightly improve the writing performance of business students. The positive beta coefficients indicate that if the indicators of writing motivation are improved, the students’ writing performance becomes better. Thus, core self-evaluation and writing motivation affect students’ business writing performance.
Evaluating the effects of language on international trade in MENA countries: A gravity-model approach
Authors: Rehimzadeh Fatemeh , Ebrahimi Bahman P.
Published: November 2021

Prior studies have investigated the role of economic and noneconomic variables on international trade. A major factor, which has been studied less, is the language used in transactions and negotiations. We explore the effects of language connectedness and the Arabic language on international trade in thirteen countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. We used a panel of bilateral data and gravity model for the countries of the region over the 2000 to 2018 period. Our analytic technique was the Poisson pseudo-maximum-likelihood (PPML) estimation method. The empirical outcomes indicate that speaking Arabic leads to an increase in export, that is, Arab nations prefer to export to the countries whose people speak their language. In addition, the language connectedness index, which depends on the extent to which the country's languages are spoken outside the country, is positively associated with the levels of exports and imports. Results further show that the GDP, population of the destination country, and political co-stability have significant positive impacts on the bilateral exports. Additionally, GDP, the population of the source country, political co-stability, and a common border have had significant positive influences on bilateral imports. The major contribution of this research is that the Arabic language has a significant and positive impact on trade among MENA countries.
L'automaticità delle prestazioni previdenziali
Authors: Casale Davide
Published: November 2021

Il volume s’incentra sul principio d’automaticità delle prestazioni previdenziali, in base al quale a talune condizioni esse spettano al lavoratore anche quando la contribuzione obbligatoria non sia stata versata dal datore. Questa tutela mitiga i deleteri effetti dell’omissione contributiva, contemperando la necessità di finanziamento del sistema con le fondamentali esigenze di solidarietà sociale, ai fini dell’effettività e, quindi, dell’adeguatezza delle provvidenze(art. 38 Cost.). Nel centenario dalla sua prima apparizione in Italia nella disciplina infortunistica del 1917,la progressiva affermazione di questo principio, confluito nel Codice civile (art. 2116 c.c.), viene ricostruita criticamente sino agli sviluppi recenti. Anche a seguito di un’esplicita giurisprudenza costituzionale di fine secolo, difatti, è tutt’ora in corso un’espansione dell’ambito d’applicazione oggettivo e soggettivo di questa tutela. L’automaticità è declinata dal legislatore in maniera non omogenea per le diverse prestazioni: l’attenzione viene qui concentrata sulla tutela d’invalidità, vecchiaia e superstiti, al cui proposito si pongono le più delicate questioni di bilanciamento valoriale. Al centro della trattazione sono le responsabilità correlate all’automaticità dei diritti previdenziali, in particolare quelle del datore e dell’ente previdenziale. L’idea di responsabilità assume importanza anche con riguardo al crescente ruolo del lavoratore. Dalla ricostruzione emerge come la modulazione legale dei limiti, condizionanti l’applicazione dell’automaticità delle prestazioni, sia funzionale alla convergenza dell’interesse individuale con l’interesse pubblico: l’uno inerente all’integrità della posizione contributiva e l’altro all’effettività della riscossione.

Authors: Kuznetsov Vitaly O.
Published: November 2021

The article addresses the influence of multidirectional processes of differentiation and integration of specialized linguistic knowledge on the development of forensic science and the practice of expert research, where it is used. The author highlights that both processes contribute to developing theoretical and methodological provisions that allow experts to solve new and complex problems at a higher quality level. The role of differentiation of specialized linguistic knowledge is to create new kinds and types of forensic examinations: author’s, linguistic, forensic analysis of video and sound recordings, forensic research of intellectual property objects. At the same time, the integration of specialized linguistic knowledge ensures the development of the whole scientific direction.
Problematic Issues of Forensic Examinations in the Detection and Investigation of Crimes on Illicit Trafficking of Narcotic Drugs of Plant Origin
Authors: Miftakhov Azat R.
Published: November 2021

The article discusses the main trends in the illegal trafficking of plants containing psychoactive substances of the hallucinogen class. The author reveals the features of hallucinogens and dissociative anesthetics. The article also provides statistical indicators of the consumption growth of new psychoactive substances, including those contained in plant objects. The main criteria by which plant objects fall under the constructive apparatus of illegal trafficking are identified. The author pays special attention to applying specialized knowledge to expert identification and diagnostics of plants withdrawn from illicit trafficking containing narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances or their precursors. To counteract the illegal trafficking of narcotic plants, the author proposes measures to improve the operational algorithms of experts’ actions when investigating herbal narcotic drugs. On the example of plants speciesBanisteriopsis caapi, the author demonstrates the lack of the study of taxonomic units of tropical plants containing hallucinogens. To solve this problem, the author proposes to change the level of definition of taxonomic affiliation from species to generic in the List of Plants containing narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances or their precursors.
Equivalencias terminológicas entre órganos judiciales españoles y alemanes: análisis contrastivo
Authors: Cobos López Ingrid
Published: November 2021

El concepto de equivalencia en traducción cobra relevancia con Nida (1964) al integrar las distintas perspectivas imperantes en la época y describir los procesos necesarios para establecerlas. Sin embargo, dicho concepto se centra, principalmente, en la terminología. En el ámbito jurídico, Pigeon (1982), Gémar (1995, 2015) o Mayoral (2004), entre otros, incorporan los sistemas jurídicos cuando delimitan el concepto de equivalencia funcional, aspecto que nos lleva a plantearnos la posibilidad de establecer equivalencias entre figuras jurídicas de dos culturas diferentes. Basándonos en los autores mencionados y apoyándonos en el principio de comparabilidad que es necesario para establecer equivalencias (James, 1980), hemos estudiado los niveles en los que se puede realizar dicha equiparación en los órganos judiciales alemanes y españoles, a saber, a nivel jerárquico, territorial y competencial. Mediante un análisis contrastivo fundamentado en los modelos de Arntz, (1990), Gémar (1995), Holl (2010) y Holl y Elena (2015), ofrecemos una propuesta de traducción y de equivalencia con el propósito de hacer comprensibles y adaptar dichas figuras para el receptor del texto meta. El resultado de nuestro estudio muestra que es posible aplicar este modelo de análisis entre sistemas judiciales comparables.

Published: November 2021

On the basis of metallographic analysis and test results of samples of welded junctions of aluminum alloys AMg6 and D16T, made by friction stir welding, for static stretching, it is shown that destruction occurs in the zone of thermo-mechanical action for the AMg6 alloy and in the zone of thermal influence for the D16T alloy. At the same time, the dependence of the temporary resistance value of the welded junction on the state of the seam weld face has not been revealed. Tests for low-cycle fatigue have shown that the endurance limit is clearly dependent on the amount of seam weld face roughness. The value of the roughness of the seam weld face for the studied alloys has been determined, in which the nature of the fracture during the low-cycle fatigue test changes from multi-stage to single-stage.

Attenuating the Progression and Preventing the Onset of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis by Transient pH Disturbances
Authors: Zeng Wei-ping
Published: November 2021

Preprint Remitting-relapsing multiple sclerosis is now considered a treatable disease thanks to disease modifying treatments with good efficacy of reducing relapses. In contrast, effective treatment of progressive multiple sclerosis remains elusive. Using a murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model, this study showed that transiently lowering the pH in the mice at early stages of EAE attenuated disability progression to advanced stages. When the treatments were initiated prior to the appearance of clinical signs, onset of EAE was prevented or delayed. Histological analysis showed that the treatments cleared inflammation in the spinal cords.
PEREMPUAN DALAM PERIKANAN DAN AKUAKULTUR di KAB. INDRAGIRI HILIR RIAU
Authors: UNISI Fakultas Pertanian
Published: November 2021

In terms of participation excellence, the fisheries sector of Indragiri Hilir Regency is gender biased. Pia dominates the scene, will hold leading positions such as ownership, control, and access to the productive resources of aquaculture production systems, as well as ownership of fishing vessels and equipment in the fishing sector. These roles benefit them financially by providing investment opportunities, loan facilities, and import and export licenses, among others. Despite the economic potential of small-scale fisheries and aquaculture, women invest very little in the aquaculture, artisanal and industrial sectors. Womentake a secondary role in processing and marketing, delaying major decisions for male counterparts. The underlying socio-cultural norms and gender relationships emphasized by intersectionality are often barriers to owning, accessing, or controlling productive resources and other inputs. Gender mainstreaming appears to be a very recent development in the fisheries sector. The goal of the study is the reorientation of women, especially those working in small-scale fisheries, including fisheries and aquaculture, toward active and significant participation in boat owner contribution, productivity, and policy/decision-making. Secondary data and conclusions from previous studies, especially reports and reviews from other districts,compared to what is available in Indragiri Hilir Regency. As a result, we propose expanding social entrepreneurship initiatives, bootstrapping,and social capital, among other interventions, to increase women's participation in the fisheries sector.
Curiosity as a Function of Confidence and Importance in Knowing Information
Authors: Spitzer Markus , Kiesel Andrea
Published: November 2021

Curiosity appears to be the driving force for humans to find new information, but despite its general relevance, only few studies investigated the underlying mechanisms of curiosity. Kang et al. (2009) reported that curiosity follows an inverted U-shaped function of confidence, with highest curiosity on moderate confidence levels of knowing information. In addition, they found that the willingness to spend resources to reveal information increased with increasing curiosity. Given that replications of findings on curiosity are rare, this study sought to replicate these previous findings in two experiments, with the same stimulus material (Experiment 1) and new stimulus material using COVID-19-related information (Experiment 2). In addition, we extended previous findings by assessing the effect of the importance of information for the participant on the relationship between curiosity and confidence. Our findings replicated previous results in both experiments with (a) highest curiosity regarding information about which participants were moderately confident in knowing and (b) the level of curiosity affecting the decision to spend more time to reveal the answer. We also found that importance ratings positively scaled the level of curiosity. However, importance also interacted with confidence, showing that low-to-moderate confidence ratings, combined with high importance ratings, led to highest curiosity in both experiments – associated with an increased willingness to close this information-gap. Together, these results emphasize the modulatory effect of perceived importance on the interplay between curiosity and confidence in knowing information.

Published: November 2021

The aim of the study was to identify 1) the main regularities of surface runoff formation due to downpours and 2) the extent of erosion process on arable chernozems in areas with dissected relief and sharply continental climate. The influence of rainfall patterns and soil physical factors on soil erosion was studied in three large geomorphological regions in the South-East of West Siberia. Field observations were carried out during 1968–1979 in the Kuznetsk Depression and in 1984–1986 in the Near-Ob areas, and from 1995 until present in the Near-Salair area. The data of meteorological stations were analyzed for rainfall patterns in the same years, including inter-year variability and downpour recordings. Summer precipitation and its intensity were measured by using hydrograph unit. Water infiltration in the field was studied by the method of small flooded areas (Nesterov’s method), when square or round frames with an area of 2500 (external) and 625 cm2 (internal) were installed on the soil surface. To simplify and automate water supply, the PVN-00 device was used, consisting of two hermetically sealed tanks, two cylindrical frames of different diameters and a tripod. The influence of rainfall patterns and soil physical factors on the processes of soil erosion was studied. As regards climatic factors the data of meteorological stations were analyzed for historical rainfall patterns, including interannual variability and downpour recordings. Experimental data of water infiltration, runoff and soil loss were discussed for the main soils units: Greyzemic Phaeozems (Siltic), Luvic Chernozems (Siltic) and Haplic Chernozems (Siltic) with variable content of soil organic matter and erosion levels. The studied regions were characterized by the prevalence of precipitation during the warm growing season and by sporadic or cyclical precipitation patterns. Heavy rains were found to cause significant damage to agricultural land only locally, during early spring, when the soil is not protected by vegetation. The greatest erosion hazard is represented by meltwater, not only by its total amount, but also by the snow thawing rate. The significant decrease in the infiltration rates with extensive farming is the main factor of degradation of the most fertile soils in West Siberia. Soil vulnerability to erosion in the studied area was shown to decrease in the range: Kuznetsk Depression > Near-Salair > Near-Ob (no storm damage).

Published: November 2021

Background: Accelerated muscle and adipose tissue loss are two of the main aspects of cancer cachexia. β2-agonists seem to be successful in the treatment of cachexia in experimental animals. The aim if the present investigation was to study the effects on body weight loss in tumor-bearing animals of a combination of formoterol and AR-42, an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC).
Methods: Rats were divided into two groups, namely controls (C) and tumor-bearing (T). TB group was further divided into four subgroups: untreated (saline as a vehicle), treated with Formoterol (F) (0,3 mg/kg body weight in saline, subcutaneous (s.c.), daily), treated with AR-42 (A) (20 mg/kg body weight in olive oil, intragastric (i.g.), only the last 4 days). and double-treated treated (TFA) with Formoterol (0,3 mg/kg body weight, subcutaneous (s.c.), daily) and AR-42 (20 mg/kg body weight in olive oil, intragastric (i.g.), only the last 4 days). 7 days after tumor transplantation, muscle weights, grip force and total physical activity were determined in all experimental groups.
Results: The presence of the Yoshida AH-130 ascites hepatoma induced severe muscle wasting in rats. Treatment of the tumor-bearing animals with the beta2-agonist formoterol (0,3 mg/kg), resulted in a significant improvement in the cachectic state of the animals. Treatment of the tumor-bearing animals with AR42 did not result in any effects on muscle wasting in the cachectic rats. Furthermore, the combination of formoterol and AR42 showed no additional effects to those observed with just formoterol.
Conclusion: The results presented question the previously described effects of AR42 on cancer cachexia, probably due to its effect on tumor growth.

This study aims at identifying the impact of some of the cause factors of brain drain, particularly, living conditions and organizational practices, on the human resource assets of the health sector in the Gaza Strip, clarifying the role of those factors in increasing the brain drain phenomenon and what influence it has over the human resource assets. The descriptive analytical approach was adopted. In addition, a questionnaire was designed to collect data from physicians from the health sector using random sample. The conclusions indicated that both living conditions and organizational practices were rated by the respondents as having negative influence as brain drain cause factors. In addition, it negatively influenced the human resource asset. Moreover, there is a significant positive relationship between brain drain cause factors (living conditions and organizational practices) and human resource assets. This means improvements in the factors causing brain drain will lead to the same in the status of human resource assets. Accordingly, it is recommended to emphasize fairness, equity, equality, and anti-discrimination policies. Furthermore, continuously review and develop advanced organizational systems, such as career advancement, promotions, salary scales, incentives and rewards, in addition to appreciation and acknowledgment of competent employees. Moreover, there is a focus on investing in human resource assets through applying professional human resource practices related to human resource planning, and training and development.

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى توفير تمييز يعزز إمكانية التفرقة بين تأثيرات المتغيرات الوسيطة والمعدلة ومعرفة الحالات التي يستفاد منها من خلال المنهج الوصفي المقارن لطرح إطار مفاهيمي واضح لخطوات البحث العلمي، يستوجب الكشف عن ماهية المتغير الثالث الذي يدخل على العلاقة التقليدية المقتصرة على متغيرين فقط هما التابع والمستقل، واستكشاف الآثار القوية للمتغيرات المعدلة والوسيطة. إن غياب تحديد واضح للمتغيرات المعدلة والوسيطة في نماذج الأعمال يمثل الفجوة البحثية للدراسة وأحد أهم اسباب عدم قابلية التطابق لنماذج الأعمال مع النظريات المثبتة أو الدراسات السابقة الرصينة. تمت صياغة سؤال البحث كالتالي: هل يوجد فروقات بين تأثيرات المتغيرات الوسيطة والمعدلة . ويخلص البحث إلى أن طبيعة المشاكل الإدارية والنفسية والتربوية المعقدة يمكن اكتشافها والتعامل معها بطريقة أكثر شفافية ودقة من خلال إضافة المتغيرات المعدلة والوسيطة إلى العلاقة البحثية السببية. وأن المتغيرات المعدلة تصف الحالة التي تكون فيها العلاقة بين المستقل والتابع غير ثابتة، أي مسؤولاً عن وجود اللاتجانس في المتغير التابع، أما الوساطة فتحدث عندما يفسر متغير ثالث العلاقة بين المستقل والتابع ويحكم طبيعة العلاقة ويعتبر الدعم المفاهيمي لها. المتغيرات المعدلة والوسيطة تعمل على توسيع نطاق نظريات العمل السائدة وتمكن الباحثين من الإجابة عن الإستفسارات البحثية المتعلقة بـ "متى" و"كيف" و"لماذا" توجد علاقة خاصة بين المستقل والتابع. وبذلك، فإن هذه الدراسة تنطوي على تأثيرات متعددة في الدراسات الارتباطية والسببية المستقبلية في العلوم الادارية والنفسية والتربوية.
Anthropological Entrapments
Authors: Jiménez Alberto Corsín
Published: November 2021

This article develops an argument for ‘entrapment’ as a heuristic of social process. Building on classic and contemporary ethnographies of traps and machine interfaces, the article offers the language of entrapment as an alternative to other idioms of complexity in social theory, such as ‘relations’, ‘entanglements’, and ‘assemblages’. The heuristic appeal of entrapment lies in its ability to kindle modes of description where place and landscape, the obligations of bodies and energies, and the haunting presences of predation and the uncanny remain immanent to social process. Moreover, the work that entrapments do is recursively entangled with anthropology’s own capacity for captivating, capturing, and making compatible further ethnographic descriptions.
Predictors of long-term clinical outcomes in adult patients after lumbar total disc replacement: development and validation of a prediction model

OBJECTIVE

Long-term outcomes of single-level lumbar arthroplasty are understood to be very good, with the most recent Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) trial showing a < 5% reoperation rate at the close of the 7-year study. This post hoc analysis was conducted to determine whether specific patients from the activL IDE data set had better outcomes than the mean good outcome of the IDE trial, as well as to identify contributing factors that could be optimized in real-world use.

METHODS

Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were developed using the randomized patient set (n = 283) from the activL trial and used to identify predictive factors and to derive risk equations. The models were internally validated using the randomized patient set and externally validated using the nonrandomized patient set (n = 52) from the activL trial. Predictive power was assessed using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.

RESULTS

Two factors were significantly associated with achievement of better than the mean outcomes at 7 years. Randomization to receive the activL device was positively associated with better than the mean visual analog scale (VAS)–back pain and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores, whereas preoperative narcotics use was negatively associated with better than the mean ODI score. Preoperative narcotics use was also negatively associated with return to unrestricted full-time work. Other preoperative factors associated with positive outcomes included unrestricted full-time work, working manual labor after index back injury, and decreasing disc height. Older age, greater VAS–leg pain score, greater ODI score, female sex, and working manual labor before back injury were identified as preoperative factors associated with negative outcomes. Preoperative BMI, VAS–back pain score, back pain duration ≥ 1 year, SF-36 physical component summary score, and recreational activity had no effect on outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

Lumbar total disc replacement for symptomatic single-level lumbar degenerative disc disease is a well-established option for improving long-term patient outcomes. Discontinuing narcotics use may further improve patient outcomes, as this analysis identified associations between no preoperative narcotics use and better ODI score relative to the mean score of the activL trial at 7 years and increased likelihood of return to work within 7 years. Other preoperative factors that may further improve outcomes included unrestricted full-time work, working manual labor despite back injury, sedentary work status before back injury, and randomization to receive the activL device. Tailoring patient care before total disc replacement may further improve patient outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

For accurate risk assessment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms, it is important to understand the underlying mechanisms that lead to rupture. It is known that hemodynamic anomalies contribute to aneurysm growth and rupture, and that growing aneurysms carry higher rupture risks. However, it is unknown how growth affects hemodynamic characteristics. In this study, the authors assessed how hemodynamic characteristics change over the course of aneurysm growth.

METHODS

The authors included patients with observed aneurysm growth on longitudinal MRA in the period between 2012 and 2016. Patient-specific vascular models were created from baseline and follow-up images. Subsequently, intraaneurysmal hemodynamic characteristics were computed using computational fluid dynamics. The authors computed the normalized wall shear stress, oscillatory shear index, and low shear area to quantify hemodynamic characteristics. Differences between baseline and follow-up measurements were analyzed using paired t-tests.

RESULTS

Twenty-five patients with a total of 31 aneurysms were included. The aneurysm volume increased by a median (IQR) of 26 (9–39) mm3 after a mean follow-up period of 4 (range 0.4–10.9) years. The median wall shear stress decreased significantly after growth. Other hemodynamic parameters did not change significantly, although large individual changes with large variability were observed.

CONCLUSIONS

Hemodynamic characteristics change considerably after aneurysm growth. On average, wall shear stress values decrease after growth, but there is a large variability in hemodynamic changes between aneurysms.
