Aspergillus series Versicolores members occur in a wide range of environments and substrates such as indoor environments, food, clinical materials, soil, caves, marine or hypersaline ecosystems. The taxonomy of the series has undergone numerous re-arrangements including
a drastic reduction in the number of species and subsequent recovery to 17 species in the last decade. The identification to species level is however problematic or impossible in some isolates even using DNA sequencing or MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry indicating a problem in the definition of
species boundaries. To revise the species limits, we assembled a large dataset of 518 strains. From these, a total of 213 strains were selected for the final analysis according to their calmodulin (CaM) genotype, substrate and geography. This set was used for phylogenetic analysis based
on five loci (benA, CaM, RPB2, Mcm7, Tsr1). Apart from the classical phylogenetic methods, we used multispecies coalescence (MSC) model-based methods, including one multilocus method (STACEY) and five single-locus methods (GMYC, bGMYC, PTP, bPTP, ABGD). Almost
all species delimitation methods suggested a broad species concept with only four species consistently supported. We also demonstrated that the currently applied concept of species is not sustainable as there are incongruences between single-gene phylogenies resulting in different species
identifications when using different gene regions. Morphological and physiological data showed overall lack of good, taxonomically informative characters, which could be used for identification of such a large number of existing species. The characters expressed either low variability across
species or significant intraspecific variability exceeding interspecific variability. Based on the above-mentioned results, we reduce series Versicolores to four species, namely A. versicolor, A. creber, A. sydowii and A. subversicolor, and the remaining species
are synonymized with either A. versicolor or A. creber. The revised descriptions of the four accepted species are provided. They can all be identified by any of the five genes used in this study. Despite the large reduction in species number, identification based on phenotypic
characters remains challenging, because the variation in phenotypic characters is high and overlapping among species, especially between A. versicolor and A. creber. Similar to the 17 narrowly defined species, the four broadly defined species do not have a specific ecology and
are distributed worldwide. We expect that the application of comparable methodology with extensive sampling could lead to a similar reduction in the number of cryptic species in other extensively studied Aspergillus species complexes and other fungal genera.
An Empirical Evaluation of the “Cognitive Complexity” Measure as a Predictor of Code Understandability
Authors: Lavazza Luigi , Abualkishik Abedallah Zaid , Liu Geng , Morasca Sandro
Published: November 2022

Code that is difficult to understand is also difficult to inspect and maintain and ultimately causes increased costs. Therefore, it would be greatly beneficial to have source code measures that are related to code understandability. Many “traditional” source code measures, including for instance Lines of Code and McCabe’s Cyclomatic Complexity, have been used to identify hard-to-understand code. In addition, the “Cognitive Complexity” measure was introduced in 2018 with the specific goal of improving the ability to evaluate code understandability.The goals of this paper are to assess whether (1) “Cognitive Complexity” is better correlated with code understandability than traditional measures, and 2) the availability of the “Cognitive Complexity” measure improves the performance (i.e., the accuracy) of code understandability prediction models.We carried out an empirical study, in which we reused code understandability measures used in several previous studies. We first built Support Vector Regression models of understandability vs. code measures,and we then compared the performance of models that use “Cognitive Complexity” against the performance of models that do not.“Cognitive Complexity” appears to be correlated to code understandability approximately as much as traditional measures, and the performance of models that use “Cognitive Complexity” is extremely close to the performance of models that use only traditional measures.The “Cognitive Complexity” measure does not appear to fulfill the promise of being a significant improvement over previously proposed

Authors: Sit Muhammed , Demiray Bekir Zahit , Demir Ibrahim
Published: November 2022

With technological enhancements, the volume, velocity, and variety (3Vs) of the raw digital Earth data have increased in recent years. Due to the increased availability of computer resources and the growing popularity of deep learning applications, this data has been a crucial source for data-driven studies that have transformed the fields of climate and earth science. One of the critical data sources is precipitation supporting climate and earth science studies on modeling, forecasting, and preparedness for extreme events (i.e., floods, droughts, pollution transport). In this study, we worked on an extensive review of manuscripts focusing on use of deep learning methods to tackle challenges either to improve the quality or extrapolate (forecast) rainfall datasets. The purpose of this study is to summarize the most recent developments in deep learning approaches for forecasting rainfall or improving rainfall datasets, as well as highlighting issues, shortcomings, and open questions with insightful recommendations for future directions.
Contemporary and historical detection of small lakes using cross-sensor super resolution Landsat imagery
Authors: Kyzivat Ethan , Smith Laurence
Published: November 2022

Landsat is the longest-running environmental satellite program and has been used for surface water mapping of large water bodies since its launch in 1972. Remote sensing image resolution is increasingly being enhanced through single image super resolution (SR), a machine learning task typically performed by neural networks. Here, we show that a 10x SR model (Enhanced Super Resolution GAN, or ESRGAN) trained entirely with Planet SmallSat imagery (3 m resolution) can be applied to 30 m Landsat imagery to produce 3 m Landsat SR images with preserved radiometric properties. We test the utility of these Landsat SR images for small lake detection by applying a simple water classification to SR and native Landsat imagery and comparing to independent, high-resolution water maps. SR images appear realistic and have fewer missed detections (type II error) compared to LR, but exhibit errors in lake location and shape, and yield increasing false detections (type I error) with decreasing lake size. SR enhancement improves detection of small lakes sized several Landsat pixels or less, with a minimum mapping unit (MMU) of ~ 2/3 of a Landsat pixel. We also apply the SR model to a historical Landsat 5 image and find similar performance gains, using an independent 1985 air photo map of 242 small Alaskan lakes. This demonstration of retroactively generated 3 m imagery dating to 1985 has exciting applications beyond water detection. Yet, much work remains to be done surrounding technical and ethical guidelines for the creation, use, and dissemination of SR satellite imagery.
Age-of-acquisition effects: A literature review
Authors: Elsherif Mahmoud Medhat , Preece Emma , Catling Jon
Published: November 2022

Age of acquisition (AoA) refers to the age at which people learn a particular item and the AoA effect refers to the phenomenon that early-acquired items are processed more quickly and accurately than those acquired later. Over several decades, the AoA effect has been investigated using neuroscientific, behavioural, corpus and computational techniques. We review the current evidence for the AoA effect stemming from a range of methodologies and paradigms, and apply these findings to current explanations of how and where the AoA effect occurs. We conclude that the AoA effect can be found both in the connections between levels of representations and within these representations themselves, and that the effect itself occurs through the process of the distinct coding of early and late items, together with the nature of the connections between levels of representation. This approach strongly suggests that the AoA effect results from the construction of perceptual-semantic representations and the mappings between representations.
The design and development of a virtual environment to measure eye movement indicators of prediction: Report on pilot testing
Authors: Harris David , Vine Samuel James , Wilson Mark , Arthur Tom
Published: November 2022

This report describes the results of the design, development, and pilot testing of a virtual reality interception task. The task was designed to measure anticipatory eye movements as a way to index the evolution of probabilistic beliefs about the environment. We sought to validate the task as a way to measure predictions by manipulating statistics of the environment and determining whether eye movements tracked the changes in probability. During the task, the player was placed in a virtual squash court, where a ball was projected from one of two locations on the front wall. The player simply has to intercept the ball. We created conditions with a 90/10, 70/30, and 50/50 left/right probability split to examine whether the horizontal position of the eye just before the ball was released tracked these probabilities. Results indicated that anticipatory eye position was adjusted in response to these probabilities, but the effect was relatively weak. These results partially validate the task but also indicate that additional challenge or uncertainty may be needed to create a greater demand on correct prediction.
The Psychological Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Business Leadership
Authors: Mesquiti Steven , Seraj Sarah
Published: November 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on business leadership, specifically on chief executive officers (CEOs). To document the psychological impacts of the pandemic on corporate leadership, this study analyzed the language of CEOs during company quarterly earnings calls (N = 19,536) one year before and after the onset of the pandemic. Following the start of lockdowns, CEOs exhibited significant language shifts. Analytic thinking declined, and their language became less technical and more personal and intuitive. CEOs also showed signs of increased cognitive load as they grappled with the pandemic's impact on their business practices. The study observed a substantial decrease in collective-focused language (we-usage) among CEOs, indicative of disconnection from their companies. Concurrently, there was an increase in self-focused (I-usage) language, suggesting heightened preoccupation among business leaders. The observed language changes reflect the unique effect of the pandemic on CEOs, which had some notable differences compared to the general population. This study sheds light on how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced business leaders' psychological states and decision-making strategies—processes that have a substantial impact on a company’s performance. The findings underscore the importance of language data in understanding large-scale societal events
Is loss aversion a domain general bias? On its extendibility in the food domain

Published: November 2022

Loss aversion is a cognitive bias influencing decision making, according to which potential losses have a larger psychological impact than potential gains of equal magnitude. Even if this bias has been extensively studied in the monetary domain, recent work has challenged its very existence, especially in the context of small symmetric stakes. Moreover, it is still unclear whether loss aversion is at play in other incentive domains. In this study, we empirically assessed monetary loss aversion for small symmetric stakes, as well as the extendibility of this bias to another domain, namely the food domain. We recruited a group of 58 female participants, who played two comparable gambling tasks in which they had to accept or reject mixed gambles involving either monetary or food outcomes. Through computational modelling we estimated loss aversion parameters in both the monetary and the food tasks. We found that participants showed loss aversion both in the monetary and in the food domain. Importantly, loss aversion in the monetary and food domain was positively correlated across participants (Spearman’s rho = 0.48, [95%CI 0.21 – 0.70], p < 0.001). Together, these results provide support for the existence of loss aversion even in the context of small symmetric monetary stakes, and further show that this bias seem to extend to at least the food domain, suggesting that it may be considered as a domain-general bias.

A new pea variety ‘Skif’
Authors: Ashiev A. R. , Khabibullin K. N. , Skulova M. V.
Published: November 2022

The wide distribution of peas among leguminous crops relates to its diverse use. Grain is used for food and feed; green mass is an excellent high-protein animal feed. A significant role in improving productivity and increasing the gross harvest of peas is given to breeding by developing new productive varieties that are adaptive to cultivation conditions. Breeding made it possible to change the traditional leaf-type pea varieties with a large biomass to mustachioed forms with a determinate stem. New varieties have increased the gross harvest and the manufacturability of pea cultivation in аgricultural production. The development of such pea varieties is still relevant today. In this regard, the purpose of the current paper was to develop a new pea variety that combines high productivity, resistance to extreme environmental factors with high feed and nutritional traits.

As a result of the breeding work, there has been developed a promising pea line ‘G-1002’, which was sent to the State Variety Testing of the Russian Federation under the name ‘Skif’ in 2021. In the Competitive Variety Testing (2019–2021), the variety’s yield was from 2.10 to 3.81 t/ha, which is higher than that of the standard variety ‘Aksaisky Usatyi 5’ (1.90–3.42 t/ha) on 0.23 t/ha on average over the years of testing. Analysis of the yield structure of the variety ‘Skif’ has shown that the yield increase of the variety ‘Skif’ was due to a higher seed productivity of one plant (2.4 g) and a larger number of seeds per plant (15.7 pcs.) than that of the standard variety ‘Aksaisky Usatyi 5’ (2.2 g and 13.0 pcs., respectively).

The variety is characterized by a high potential for seed productivity, resistance to negative environmental effects, manufacturability, having a low stem, mustachioed leaves, and non-shattering seeds. The protein percentage in seeds ranged from 25.0 to 25.8 %. The positive qualities inherent in the variety make it possible to successfully cultivate it in the recommended cultivation regions, as well as to use it in further breeding process as an initial material. The calculation of economic efficiency of a variety cultivation showed an increase of up to 4000–5000 rubles per hectare.

Published: November 2022

Rice is one of the most important crops in the world. Rice crops provide food for many people in Asia and the Pacific. In Russia, the production of this crop is concentrated in several regions, one of which is the Rostov region. The trend towards the greening of agriculture throughout the world and in Russia is becoming more and more stable. In order to combat weeds using an environmentally friendly herbicide-free technology, it is necessary to increase the water layer on simultaneous surviving rice plants. For such a strategy to work, it is necessary to develop varieties that are resistant to flooding. The purpose of the current study was to identify the allelic state of the Sub1A flood resistance gene in breeding rice samples. The objects of the study were 90 rice samples of the sixth generation, identified in hybrids obtained from crossing Russian varieties with gene donor varieties. The analysis was carried out by such methods as DNA extraction using the “DNA-Extran-3” commercial kit (Sintol, Russia), classical PCR with the specialized diagnostic marker Sub1A203, separation of amplicons by electrophoresis in 2 % agarose gels, analysis of electrophoregrams in the software Bio-Rad ImageLab 6.0.1. As a result of the analysis, there was identified the allelic state of the Sub1A gene in 90 rice samples. A significant number of samples carried a non-functional recessive allele, the presence of the gene was not established in 19 samples. The Sub1A gene was in the heterozygous state in 9 samples. The presence of a functional dominant allele of the target gene was identified n 5 breeding samples. There has been recommended to use these samples in breeding work aimed at developing new rice varieties resistant to prolonged flooding.

Published: November 2022

The purpose of the study was to estimate such adaptability parameters, as a linear regression coefficient, stress resistance, genetic flexibility and stability coefficient, according to the traits “green mass productivity” and “dry matter productivity”. The objects of the study were 6 sainfoin varieties developed by the ARC “Donskoy”. The variety ‘Zernogradsky 2’ was taken as the standard one. Sowing was carried out in the spring with the SSFC-7 seeder in its pure form, without a cover crop. A seeding rate was 5 million germinated seeds per 1 ha. The area of the plot was 20 m2, with fourfold repetition. The estimation according to the indicators of ecological adaptability was performed according to the S. A. Eberchart and W. A. Russel (1966) as presented by V. A. Zykina et al. (2011), calculation of stress resistance and genetic flexibility was established according to A.A. Goncharenko (2005). The results of the analysis of variance have shown a significant influence of factor B (conditions) both on the variability of productivity of green mass (79.12 %) and dry matter (75.38 %). All the studied sainfoin varieties according to the years and sowing significantly exceeded the indicators of the standard variety. The most productive of them, the new variety ‘Atamansky 20’, formed on average 30.9 t/ha of green mass and 8.3 t/ha of dry mass, with fluctuations over the years, respectively, 24.8–44.9 t/ha and 6.4 –12.1 t/ha. The sainfoin varieties differ in the response of green and dry mass productivity to changing environmental conditions. The varieties ‘Zernogradsky 2’, ‘Atamansky’ and ‘Atamansky 20’ demand to improve conditions when cultivated for green feed and hay (bi > 1), while the varieties ‘Veles’, ‘Sudar’ and ‘Shuravi’ respond less well to improved environmental conditions and are more adaptable (bi < 1). The varieties ‘Veles’, ‘Sudar’ and ‘Shuravi’ are highly resistant to stress, while the varieties Zernogradsky 2’, ‘Atamansky’ and ‘Atamansky 20’ have a narrower range of adaptive capabilities of stress resistance. A higher correspondence between a genotype and environmental factors and high genetic flexibility were found in the variety ‘Atamansky 20’.

Improvement of feed grain production is an important link in Russia’s food security. Considerable opportunities for solving this problem lie in the cultivation of new domestic varieties of barley. Breeding work in this direction has been carried out for a long time in the Don area by the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy” (Department of winter and spring barley breeding and seed production). The purpose of the study was to breed a new spring barley variety for regions with high signs of aridy, which has fairly large productivity and its stability in different years. The result of the breeding program 0706-2019-0002 was the development of the spring barley variety ‘Azimut’ of universal use, i.e. for feed, groats and for brewing purposes. The paper has described the morphology of plants and the main biological and valuable economic traits of the new spring barley variety ‘Azimut’, which has been included in the State List of Breeding Achievements of Russia since 2022. There has been found that a remarkable feature of this variety is early maturity (through three contrast years (2017–2019) it ripened on average earlier than the standard variety ‘Ratnik’ on 4 days and the best variety ‘Format’ on 2 days), which is an extremely important indicator in modern climatic conditions. There was found that, on average, over the years, the new variety produced 5.7 t/ha and 52.0 g of 1000-grain weight, exceeding the standard on 0.8 t/ha and 6.5 g, as well as the best variety ‘Format’ on 0 .2 t/ha and 3.8 g, respectively. It has been established that the variety ‘Azimut’ has a certain important set of biologically useful and economically valuable properties and traits.

Maize (Zéa máys) is one of the main grain crops in the world, including Russia. One of its most dangerous pests is the western corn rootworm Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, 1858 (western corn rootworm (wcr)), which is an invasive species in many countries. Therefore, the most important task of researchers involved in the prediction of phytophages and the development of plant protection is to prevent its occurrence in Russia, which includes constant monitoring and quarantine measures. The current study was carried out to overview the literature, revealing the characteristics of biology, the prevalence of the corn rootworm in the world, and to determine effective methods of dealing with it, including methods of biological control. There has been established that over the past 30 years the pest has spread throughout almost all of Europe, and since 2011 it has been registered in Russia. To a large extent, the spread of the rootworm was facilitated by the growing globalization and trade between the countries in the absence of appropriate control measures, as well as high potential fertility and the ability for large flights in the imaginal stage. There has been established that significant damage from diabrotics is explained by the fact that almost all stages of development (imago and larvae of all ages) are harmful in phytophages, damaging almost all organs of the plant. There has been revealed that the most successful is the prediction of the number of D. v. virgifera using pheromone traps, and control measures include the use of various chemical plant protection products and crop rotations. There has been shown that the biomethod against D. v. virgifera is practically not used. The available data allowed us to conclude that it is possible to prevent the spread of the pest in the Russian Federation with strict observance of quarantine measures.

This study aimed to identify editorial features that can distinguish predatory and legitimate open access journals in the discipline of language and linguistics. Fifty-six journals from the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and an equal number of journals from Beall’s updated list of potential predatory journals (PPJs) were selected for a close examination. Analyses showed that these two groups of journals differed markedly in a large number of editorial features: certain publication frequencies, contact address and contact information, mean number of articles published per year, specialized focus, mean peer review time, claimed adoption of peer review, submission mode, listing of editor(s)-in-chief, relevance of their expertise, mean number of editorial board members, availability of the guide for authors and aims/scope sections, an APC for open access, mean APC, claimed indexation by DOAJ, provision of ethical guidelines and publishing policies, and presence of DOIs. Nevertheless, they did not differ significantly with regard to mean years of editorial activity, mention of average peer review time, mention of acceptance rate, mean number of editorial board members, mean number of editors, listing of editorial boards, claimed indexation by Google Scholar/ERIC/Scopus/Web of Science, COPE membership, and availability of ISSNs. These findings point to distinguishing editorial features that language and linguistics scholars need to consider when they look for legitimate open access journals to disseminate their research.

In particular, the main elements of management analysis were considered and the need for its application at the enterprise was substantiated. It is noted that one of the most important tasks of enterprises is the transition to the management of financial and economic activities based on the data of managerial and economic analysis, taking into account the setting of strategic goals of the enterprise. In the time of the market economy, the process of integration of financial and management accounting and management analysis, which interact with each other, is relevant. It was determined that management analysis is an integral part of management accounting. It was established that the organization of management accounting should ensure the distribution of general tasks facing the management apparatus of the enterprise between all levels of management in such a way that each manager bears his share of responsibility for solving a certain part of the defined tasks. At the same time, the accounting system should ensure the interconnection of various information flows as a basis for the interaction of all management functions. Management analysis is an intermediate stage of enter-prise management, the object of which is the past and future activity of business segments, the information base is data collected in the management accounting system, intended for analytical support of management decisions. It is established that management analysis, being part of the accounting system, subordinates management accounting as its subsystem, which is an information base. The article states that management analysis is one of the functions of management accounting. In order to ensure greater efficiency and analyticalness of management information at en-terprises, it is proposed to allocate a service (department) of management accounting and analysis as part of the ac-counting service, which will make it possible to provide the latter with greater opportunities in the implementation of its functions. The success and stability of the enterprise's financial activity depends on a regulated system of account-ing and management analysis, which involves the process of planning, accounting, control, analysis, and regulation.
