Authors: Khalikov M. , Musaev  , Ilyin M.M. (Jn.) , Khalikov S. , Arkhipov
Published: August 2020

Continuing a series of studies to increase the solubility of the known substance triclabendazole (TСB), the technology of mechanochemical modification was used with a mixture of polymers-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and arabinogalactan (AG) with the addition of the known emulsifier – sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (SDN). In this case, solid dispersions (SD) of TCB compositions were obtained: TCB : PVP = 1: 9, TCB : PVP : AG = 1: 4.5: 4.5 and TCB : PVP : AG : SDN = 1: 4.5: 4.5: 0.1, which are easily loose powders that form stable suspensions in water when preparing working solutions for use in animals. A significant improvement in the solubility (almost 30 times) of the obtained SDs with the addition of SDN was established, which allows us to hope for their high antifascioid activity. Drugs can also be used for use by adding to animal feed. Currently, the drug is being tested in laboratory and industrial conditions. According to preliminary data, drugs with the addition of SDN are of interest and additional studies are required for implementation in veterinary practice.

Published: August 2020

Given the potential for using methods of mechanochemical modification of difficultly soluble substances of drugs using water soluble polymers of synthetic and natural origin, we conducted studies to improve the solubility of the anthelmintic substance of albendazole (ABZ) by coprocessing ABZ with polymers chitosan and PVP. In this case, solid dispersions (SD) of the ABZ compositions – chitosan = 1:9 and ABZ : PVP = 1:9 – were obtained, which were easy loose powders that formed stable suspension concentrates suitable for the use on animals. Moreover, the solubility of ABZ in these SDs was 20 and 27 times higher respectively than that of the initial substance. When studying the anthelmintic activity of the obtained SDs against the causative agents of fascioliasis, monieziasis, marshallagiasis, nematodirosis and other gastrointestinal strongylatoses in sheep, their high efficiency was established. Thus, if before ABZ : chitosan = 1: 9 was used, sheep were infected with Marshallagia at 88.8%, Nematodirus at 58.0%, and other gastrointestinal strongylates (Ostertagia, Trychostrongilus, etc.) at 80.6%, Fasciola at 96.7%, Moniezia at 6.4%, and the total invasion rate was 96.7%, the prevalence (EI) of these helminths amounted to 58.0%, 3.2%, 9.6%, 5.8%, 0% and 83.8% respectively after 5 days following the use of the drug. When testing the drug composition ABZ : PVP = 1:9 on sheep infected with Marshallagia at 88.8%, Nematodirus at 66.6%, other gastrointestinal strongylates at 72.2%, Fasciola at 24.0%, Moniezia at 5.5%, and all helminths at 100%, decrease in the invasion was observed to 50.0%, 0%, 5.5%, 27.7%, 0% and 50.0% respectively. These experimental data allowed the authors to recommend the ABZ-based drugs for practical use.

Published: August 2020

Currently, government agencies are increasing interest in the conservation of wild ruminants which are either listed in the Red Book or kept in reserves and national parks. This type of ruminant includes dzeren, or Mongolian gazelle that lives on the territory of the Daursky State Nature Biosphere Reserve between the Tel and Utogi cordons. For purposes of studies for helminths that form the endoparasitofauna, 57 samples of feces were taken which were frozen and delivered for the studies to the Department of Parasitology and Veterinary Inspection of the FSBEI HE MGAVMiB – MBA named after K.I. Scryabin. The studies were carried out according to generally accepted methods, and the following data were obtained - for dzerens that live in the conditions of the Daursky Reserve, there are 2 types of helminths that belong to the class of nematodes Nematodirus spp. and Trichostrongylus spp. The infection intensity of the studied samples was 47.4%. The genus Nematodirus spp. prevails, helminth eggs were found in 23 samples, which is 40.4% of the total number of the samples. In turn, eggs of Trichostrongylus spp. were found in 4 samples, which is 7.0% of the total number of the samples.
THE EFFECT OF EXTRACT FROM PLEROCERCOIDS OF GULL-TAPEWORM DIBOTHRIOCEPHALLUS DENDRITICUS ON WOUND HEALING IN MICE
Authors: Chelombitko  , Vasilieva  , Fedorov  , Kutyrev  , Mazur
Published: August 2020

In this work, the wound healing potential of the extract from plerocercoids of gulltapeworm D. dendriticus was first estimated in the mouse full-thickness wound model.
Both the evaluation of wound closure rate and the histological characteristics of the healing process were performed. In the course of the study, the effect of the extract on contraction and epithelization of wound was not revealed. At the same time, the results of histological analysis showed that the epidermis in the group of mice whose wounds were treated with the extract was less differentiated, and the newly formed connective tissue was less mature than in the group of control animals. In addition, differences were found in the composition of leukocyte infiltrate in the granulation tissue of experimental animals – there was a significant increase in the number of eosinophils and a tendency to a lower content of neutrophils. The results obtained indicate that treatment of wounds with extract from plerocercoids slows down the reparative processes, which, however, does not lead to significant changes in the rate of wound contraction. Perhaps, this difference is due to a change in the early stages of healing: extract stimulates eosinophils migration to the area of damage, while the number of neutrophils decreases. This can lead to a prolonged inflammatory phase and the associated slowdown in repair.
EPIPHYTOTIOLOGY OF PHYTOHELMINTHIASIS IN THE 21st CENTURY
Authors: Shesteperov
Published: August 2020

Plant parasitic nematodes are recognized as one of the biggest threats to crop production. Annual crop loss from phytohelminths range from 78 to 128 billion US Dollars. The initial position of the epiphytotic process (EP) theory in phytohelminthiasis is to recognize the infestation as a form of parasitism, and therefore, for the phytohelminth species to be preserved, they need a mandatory and constant change by their pathogen of individual host plants, which is externally perceived as an infection. Such process, i.e. a continuous chain of systematic incidence, occurs involving infected plants (a source of an infectious agent), the mechanism of preserving and transmitting the phytohelminthiasis pathogen, and a susceptible plant(s), which is the biological basis for the epiphytotic process. Based on the analysis of the literature and original data, the primary factors (a source of invasion, a mechanism of preserving and transmitting the pathogen, and a susceptible host plant) and secondary factors (abiotic, biotic, anthropogenic, and social factors) of the epiphytotic process are considered for various phytohelminthiases. From the point of view of epiphytotiology, the list of host plants for the phytohelminthiasis pathogen should include those species of susceptible plants that are naturally included in the epiphytotic process and that provide the indefinitely long existence of the phytohelminth in populations of susceptible plants. The epiphytotic process provides the existence, reproduction and spread of phytohelminths in the nature and agricultural ecosystems.
BASES FOR METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO FORECASTING OF PATHOGENESIS PROCESSES IN THE TREMATODE BODY AFTER ANIMAL CHEMOTHERAPY

Published: August 2020

The prospect of effective deworming is associated with the study of the mechanism of action of anthelmintics on helminths, its organs and tissues. The long-term use of methodological approaches using histological, histochemical and morphometric methods for studying organs and tissues of different types of trematodes (fascioli, euritrem, opisthorchia, dicrocelia, paramphistoma, etc.) after the anthelmintics action is effective, since it allows you to establish the mechanism and drug action on helminths. Using these methods, morphophysiological shifts were identified in the organs and tissues of trematodes, the degree of which corresponded proportionally to the dose of the applied anthelmintic on the one hand, and was determined by the chemical structure of the drug itself and the duration of its exposure, on the other. The importance of the trematodocidal effect of anthelmintics is associated with the ovicidal effect and the blocking of the trematode reproduction in which the process of egg formation is disturbed. The egg pathology covers not only the destruction of the structure of their contents at the cellular level, but is also associated with the destruction of their genome. The cessation of the release of invasive material or the release of degenerative eggs into the environment after deworming contributes to the ecologic sterilization of the environment, and its sanitation.
DISTRIBUTION OF TRICHINELLA LARVAE IN DIFFERENT GROUPS OF MUSCLES IN SPONTANEOUSLY INFECTED RACCOON DOGS (NYCTEREUTES PROCYONOIDES)
Authors: Vagin  , Malysheva  , Samofalova
Published: August 2020

The problem of distribution of Trichinella larvae in transversus stripe skeletal muscles of animals is quite relevant. Literature sources present a lot of contradictory information on this issue. According to a number of authors, carnivores’, including canines’, shoulder muscles and muscles of the forelimbs, pelvis and hind limbs are the most intensely affected. Other researchers provide evidence that the highest numbers of Trichinella larvae are recorded in the muscles of the truncus and head. Furthermore, information about intensely affected muscles is of great importance for the diagnosis of trichinosis. The results of our studies showed that the highest rates of infection intensity in spontaneously infected raccoon dogs were noted in the diaphragm. Less affected were the large masseter muscle, intercostal muscles and muscles of the tongue root. Trichinella larvae were practically not found in the shoulder muscles and muscles of the forelimbs, pelvis and hind limbs. Thus, the highest number of Trichinella larvae was recorded in the muscles of the truncus and head of the spontaneously infected raccoon dogs that we studied.
An Analytical Study on the Causes of Developing Delinquent Behaviour Among Adolescents in Tehsil Okara, Punjab, Pakistan
Authors: Ullah Qudrat , Khan Muhammad Sami Ullah
Published: August 2020

OBJECTIVE This study aims to find out the
causes of developing delinquent behaviour among male adolescents in Pakistan’s
society. METHODS Self-reported modified delinquency scale used to measure the
delinquent behaviour among adolescents. Data were collected through the survey
research technique with the help of a structured interview schedule. The sample
size was selected through quota sampling which consisted of 250 male
respondents. RESULTS It founds that, in Pakistan out of 250 male adolescents
82(32.8%) are delinquents, it means out of every 8 adolescents 3 are
delinquents. Lower economic status is not closely related to delinquent
behaviour. CONCLUSION It is concluded said that peer group motivation,
ineffective parent’s and teacher’s practices, access on the internet and mobile
phones are influencing delinquent behaviour among adolescents. A model for
developing delinquent behaviour lead to organized criminal behaviour is
outlined. The study is limited to the size & basic characteristics of
respondents. It was very difficult to confess to the respondents about sexual
activities. A notable limitation is that the study only focuses on the
sociological cause of delinquent behaviour. The future research work may
emphasis on psychological and biological factors influencing delinquent
behaviour.

Actionability Judgments Cause Knowledge Judgments
Authors: Turri John , Buckwalter Wesley , Rose David
Published: August 2020

Researchers recently demonstrated a strong direct relationship between judgments about what a person knows and judgments about how a person should act. But it remains unknown whether actionability judgments cause knowledge judgments, or knowledge judgments cause actionability judgments. This paper uses causal modeling to help answer this question. Across two experiments, we found evidence that actionability judgments cause knowledge judgments.
A New Paradigm for Epistemology: From Reliabilism to Abilism
Authors: Turri John
Published: August 2020

Contemporary philosophers nearly unanimously endorse knowledge reliabilism, the view that knowledge must be reliably produced. Leading reliabilists have suggested that reliabilism draws support from patterns in ordinary judgments and intuitions about knowledge, luck, reliability, and counterfactuals. That is, they have suggested a proto-reliabilist hypothesis about “commonsense” or “folk” epistemology. This paper reports nine experimental studies (N = 1262) that test the proto-reliabilist hypothesis by testing four of its principal implications. The main findings are that (a) commonsense fully embraces the possibility of unreliable knowledge, (b) knowledge judgments are surprisingly insensitive to information about reliability, (c) “anti-luck” intuitions about knowledge have nothing to do with reliability specifically, and (d) reliabilists have mischaracterized the intuitive counterfactual properties of knowledge and their relation to reliability. When combined with the weakness of existing arguments for reliabilism and the recent emergence of well-supported alternative views that predict the widespread existence of unreliable knowledge, the present findings are the final exhibit in a conclusive case for abandoning reliabilism in epistemology. I introduce an alternative theory of knowledge, abilism, which outperforms reliabilism and well explains all the available evidence.

Fundamentals of Energy Regulation
Authors: Poullikkas Andreas
Published: August 2020

Fundamentals of Energy Regulation provides an insight to the wide range of topics necessary for energy regulators. Is a complete introduction to the world of energy regulation and provides the fundamental aspects of each energy regulation topic. Introduces important regulatory topics and features explanations of key economic and regulatory concepts.Fundamentals of Energy Regulation covers emerging issues associated with restructured electric energy and capacity markets as well as international practises affecting the natural gas and electric industries. Provides the various aspects and steps of managing the transition to energy market competition and for the development of energy tariffs.Fundamentals of Energy Regulation, also, provides an insight to the wide range of electricity generating technologies including renewable energy sources available today or under development, an overview of the future sustainable energy systems and environmental issues. Fundamentals of Energy Regulation is partly based on lecture notes pro- vided in two different courses for a number of years and is intended as an introductory textbook for courses in the field of energy regulation and energy markets. It is not by any means exhaustive, nor is it intended to be. In the more than two decades I’ve worked with the energy industry, the field has grown so vast that it’s no longer possible to confine all aspects within the covers of one book, even after limiting it to the most important issues.Fundamentals of Energy Regulation can serve as a reference text for energy regulators, power and natural gas market planners, utility managers, transmission system operators, distribution system operators, consultants, policy makers and economists.
Development of strategic social information seeking: Implications for cumulative culture
Authors: Blakey Kirsten H , Rafetseder Eva , Atkinson Mark , Renner Elizabeth , Cowan-Forsythe Fía , Sati Shivani , Caldwell Christine Anna
Published: August 2020

Human learners are rarely the passive recipients of valuable social information. Rather, learners usually have to actively seek out information from a variety of potential others to determine who is in a position to provide useful information. Yet, the majority of developmental social learning paradigms do not address participants’ ability to seek out information for themselves. To investigate age-related changes in children’s ability to seek out appropriate social information, 3- to 8-year-olds (N = 218; recruited in a school and at a public visitor attraction) were presented with a task requiring them to identify which of four possible demonstrators could provide critical information for unlocking a box. Appropriate information seeking improved significantly with age. The particularly high performance of 7- and 8-year-olds was consistent with the expectation that older children’s increased metacognitive understanding would allow them to identify appropriate information sources. Appropriate social information seeking may have been overlooked as a significant cognitive challenge involved in fully benefiting from others’ knowledge, potentially influencing understanding of the phylogenetic distribution of cumulative culture.
Intensive Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Perspectives of Service Users
Authors: Millar Josie Frances Adeline , Purnell Sophie-Anne , Gregory James , Salkovskis Paul M.
Published: August 2020

Background: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend an intensive version of treatment for service users who have not responded to > 2 treatments for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The views of service users for whom this format of treatment is recommended are unknown. Method: Thirty semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with participants with OCD. All participants had previously undertaken > 2 unsuccessful courses of CBT. Interviews were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results: Participants reported that an intensive format may provide the time required to tackle important aspects of therapy that were not achieved or tackled during weekly CBT (e.g. in-session ERP). Individual preference is seen to play an important role and consequently an intensive format will not be well-suited to all who have experienced previous CBT failure. Four themes were identified: 1) Continuity and momentum, 2) Hmm, yes, but…: reservations about intensive CBT, 3) The fortune is in the follow-up, and 4) Understanding individual preference. Conclusion: Findings support the NICE recommendation. Participants with OCD who had experienced multiple CBT failures perceived intensive CBT to be broadly acceptable with potential therapeutic advantages. Reservations related to the possibility of relapse after therapy were expressed. Clinical implications and future research directions are discussed.
Modern speech synthesis for phonetic sciences: a discussion and an evaluation
Authors: Malisz Zofia , Henter Gustav Eje , Valentini-Botinhao Cassia , Watts Oliver , Beskow Jonas , Gustafson Joakim
Published: August 2020

Decades of gradual advances in speech synthesis have recently culminated in exponential improvements fuelled by deep learning. This quantum leap has the potential to finally deliver realistic, controllable, and robust synthetic stimuli for speech experiments. In this article, we discuss these and other implications for phonetic sciences. We substantiate our argument by evaluating classic rule-based formant synthesis against state-of-the-art synthesisers on a) subjective naturalness ratings and b) a behavioural measure (reaction times in a lexical decision task). We also differentiate between text-to-speech and speech-to-speech methods. Naturalness ratings indicate that all modern systems are substantially closer to natural speech than formant synthesis. Reaction times for several modern systems do not differ substantially from natural speech, meaning that the processing gap observed in older systems, and reproduced with our formant synthesiser, is no longer evident. Importantly, some speech-to-speech methods are nearly indistinguishable from natural speech on both measures.
Commentary_on_Hussey&Hughes(2020)
Authors: Wetzel Eunike , Roberts Brent
Published: August 2020

Hussey and Hughes (2020) analyzed four aspects (internal consistency, test-retest reliability, factor structure, and measurement invariance) relevant to the structural validity of psychological scales in 15 self-report questionnaires and concluded that social and personality psychology has a “hidden invalidity” problem. We argue that their argument that the field ignores structural validity (hence “hidden”) is incorrect because many published papers specifically investigate the measurement properties of instruments applied in social and personality psychology. Furthermore, we show that the models they used to test structural validity do not match the construct space for many of the measures. Lastly, we argue that their conclusion that measures are invalid based on a pass/fail decision for measurement invariance is overly simplistic. Rather, partial measurement invariance and the effect size of the noninvariance should be considered. Moving forward, we think it would be important for all researchers to more actively engage with prior measurement research, know the limits of existing measures, and invest in a deeper examination of the psychometric properties of their own measures in each of their studies.
I'm Simply the Best, Better than All the Rest - Narcissistic Leaders and Corporate Fundraising Success
Authors: Gruda Dritjon , McCleskey Jim , Karanatsiou Dimitra , Vakali Athena
Published: August 2020

We examine the relationship between leader grandiose narcissism, composed of admiration and rivalry, and corporate fundraising success in a sample of 2377 organizational leaders. To examine a large sample of leaders, we applied a machine-learning algorithm to predict leaders' personality scores based on leaders' Twitter profiles. We found that admiration was positively related to - while rivalry was negatively related to corporate fundraising success (in '000s). Analyses also showed that leader gender does not moderate this relationship, unlike initially expected. We discuss and compare our findings to previous work on narcissism and crowdfunding.

Age–Income Dynamics over the Life Course: Cohort Transition Patterns in Relative Income Based on Canadian Tax Returns
Authors: Denton Frank T. , Spencer Byron G. , Yip Terry A.
Published: August 2020

This article is concerned with patterns of cohort aging and income progression. We explore the dynamics of age–income progression through the use of state transition matrices, consider alternative cohort definitions, and introduce an artificial cross-sectional cohort based on the transition matrices. Our applications make use of individual income records from Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Administrative Database. Relative income is defined by how an individual of a given age is positioned in the overall distribution of income in a given year. We derive the proportionate distribution of individuals in each decile group at each representative age, starting at age 24, and the transition matrices then show the movements from the distribution at one age to the distribution five years later.
Future LIS Education and Evolving Global Competency Requirements for the Digital Information Environment: An Epistemological Overview
Authors: Raju Jaya
Published: August 2020

In the context of an evolving digitally-oriented library and/or information science (LIS) discipline and framed by Andrew Abbott’s Chaos of Disciplines theory, this article presents an epistemological overview of evolving competency requirements for a global digital information environment and the implications of this for future LIS education. In doing so it draws from both an international case study of ongoing research by the IFLA BSLISE (Building Strong LIS Education) Working Group into the development of an international framework for the assessment of quality standards in LIS education and a national (South African) case study involving the compilation of an LIS competency index in a highly digitally oriented information environment. The Chaos of Disciplines theory was originally conceptualized to demonstrate the evolution of disciplines in the social sciences. Its core principles of the interstitial character of a discipline and fractal distinctions in time are employed as a heuristic tool to connect the empirical evidence from these two purposively selected case studies to the inherent nature of the LIS discipline and the implications of this for competency requirements for professional practice in a highly digitized global information environment and for future LIS education responding to these competency exigencies.

Published: August 2020

The evolution of social networks in general, and Instagram in particular, has led to the emergence and proliferation of digital influencers, a figure that has taken over from fashion bloggers and managed to capture the attention of communication professionals in the sector due to their potential to generate engagement with their public. The objective of the present research is to determine the profile of micro fashion influencers, their casuistics, and the protocols of action that they use when managing their Instagram accounts. For this, qualitative research was carried out through a semistructured interview of a sample selected using the nonprobabilistic snowball technique. Specifically, between May and June 2018, fieldwork was carried out with a group of ten fashion micro instagramers in Spain, analyzing four research questions regarding how micro instagramers interact with and their relationship with brands and communication companies, the nature of their publications, and their motivations for being active on the mentioned social network. The responses of the micro instagramers, with a combined audience of 240,439 followers, suggest that their nonprofessional profile is characterized by the absence of collaboration agreements and minimum economic remuneration. In addition, they are aware of their technical deficiencies when creating and editing their posts.

Resumen
La evolución de las redes sociales en general y de Instagram en particular, ha propiciado el nacimiento y la proliferación de los influenciadores digitales, una figura que toma el relevo de los bloggers de moda y que ha logrado captar la atención de los profesionales de la comunicación del sector debido a su potencial en la generación de engagement con su público. El objetivo de la presente investigación es conocer el perfil de los micro fashion influencers, sus casuísticas y los protocolos de actuación que utilizan en la gestión de sus cuentas de Instagram. Para ello, se ha realizado una investigación cualitativa mediante una entrevista semiestructurada sobre una muestra seleccionada a través de la técnica no probabilística de bola de nieve. En concreto, entre mayo y junio de 2018 se realizó el trabajo de campo sobre un grupo de 10 micro instagramers de moda en España. A través de cuatro preguntas de investigación, se analiza de qué manera interactúan los micro instagramers, la relación que mantienen con las marcas y empresas de comunicación, cómo son sus publicaciones y qué motivaciones tienen para estar activos en la citada red social. Las respuestas de las micro instagramers, que acumulan una audiencia total de 240.439 seguidores, apuntan que se trata de un perfil no profesionalizado caracterizado por la ausencia de acuerdos de colaboración y una mínima remuneración económica. Además, son conscientes de sus carencias técnicas a la hora de realizar y editar sus posts.

Published: August 2020

Background:COVID-19 has been declared as a public health emergency and a pandemic by World Health Organization. Among high-risk patients infected by the virus, hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients are vulnerable to severe presentation of this infection. Thus, the necessity for precise strategies in dealing with HSCT recipients in this pandemic seems inevitable. Methods: We discussed the dilemmas brought up by the emergence of COVID-19 in the management of HSCT recipients, through a virtual panel of experts, considering the latest available records about COVID-19. About each enquiry, we have provided the consensus of the clinicians and paraclinicians in our center. Recommendations: We agreed to choose more precautious strategies and less optimal policies. The amendments aim to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in our patients and also in our health care provider team.

Published: August 2020

Aims: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of the workplace-related clusters of COVID-19 and its transmissions into communities in Vietnam. Methods and Material: We accessed the database of COVID-19 by the Ministry of Health, Vietnam. Variables included sources of infection, age, sex, nationality, the dates of onset of symptoms and discharge from hospitals, and ID of each patient tested positive with COVID-19. Information from each patient was linked to the sources of infection to identify workplace-related clusters. Among 314 patients, we excluded 43 cases related to two charter flights, the remaining 271 cases were eligible for the study.Results: The biggest cluster of hospital canteen included 26 workers and their 31 family members or hospital’s patients. The second biggest cluster included a pilot of the Vietnam airlines and other 16 patients who have close contact with him at the Bar Buddha at Ho Chi Minh City. A total of 87 patients (32.1% of 271 cases) were related to these workplace-related clusters. The suspected time and the clinical course was significantly longer in the workplace-related clusters than other patients (mean 6.52 vs. 4.05 days, p=0.0191) and (mean 28.71 vs. 20.52 days, p=0.0005), respectively. Conclusions: Because COVID-19 infection at workplaces was responsible for nearly one-third of the total patients, there was a novel emerged occupational risk factor at work due to coronavirus infection. Safety at the workplace in preventing COVID-19 transmission is highly needed.

Published: August 2020

Investigation of Macrosiphini in Belarus started in the 1900s. However, a regional checklist of Macrosiphini has not been published yet. Based on material preserved in our collections and data scattered across publications, we have compiled the first comprehensive list of Macrosiphini recorded from Belarus and briefly analysed it from the geographical and ecological points of view. The list includes 52 genera, 156 species and 2 subspecies. Acyrthosiphon cyparissiae (Koch, 1855), A. euphorbiae Börner, 1949, Diuraphis (Holcaphis) frequens (Walker, 1848), Dysaphis angelicae (Koch, 1854), D. apiifolia petroselini (Börner, 1950), D. lauberti (Börner, 1940), Paramyzus heraclei Börner, 1933, Macrosiphum melampyri Mordvilko, 1919, and Uroleucon pulicariae (Hille Ris Lambers, 1939) are recorded from Belarus for the first time. The recorded diversity is lower than in the adjacent countries – Poland and Latvia. In accordance with the global pattern of aphid relations with their host plants, the majority of Belarusian Macrosiphini species permanently inhabit herbaceous plants (monoecious species) or migrate to them from woody plants (dioecious species). Among the recorded species, 27 inhabit a single host plant species, 85 – plants of a single genus, 37 – plants of a single family, and only seven species inhabit host plants of several families or more. At least 16 species (10% of local fauna of Macrosiphini) are alien to Belarus.

Özet

Üniversite eğitimi yıllar boyu süren bir süreci kapsamaktadır. Araştırmanın amacını spor bilimlerinde okuyan öğrencilerin gelecek zaman algılarının farklı değişkenlere göre incelenmesi oluşturmuştur. Araştırmaya Fırat Üniversitesi Spor Bilimleri Fakültesinde öğrenim gören 247 öğrenci katılmıştır. Çalışmada katılımcıların gelecek zaman algılarını ölçmek için Husman ve Shell (1996) tarafından geliştirilen Türkçe uyarlaması ve geçerlik, güvenirlik çalışması Avcı ve Erden (2009) tarafından yapılan Gelecek Zaman Algısı Ölçeği (GZAÖ) kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada katılımcıların sosyo-demografik bilgilerinin dağılımlarının belirlenmesi için yüzde ve frekans istatistikleri, anlamlı farklılıkların belirlenmesi için ise Mann-Whitney U testi ve Kruskal Wallis testi kullanılmıştır.
Sonuç olarak: Erkek öğrencilerin kız öğrencilere göre yapacakları bir işi son güne ya da son ana bırakmadıkları ve bu konuda kız öğrencilere göre sorumluluk duygularının daha fazla olduğu, öğrencilerin yaşlarına bakılmaksızın kendilerine yakın ya da uzak gelecekte bir hedef belirledikleri, öğrencilerin gelecek zaman ile ilgili bir plan yapmalarında düzenli spor yapmalarının herhangi bir etkisinin olmadığı görülmüştür.

Araştırmada üst düzey sporcuların egzersiz bağımlılığı düzeylerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma, 66’sı takım (basketbol, Amerikan futbolu) ve 94’ü bireysel (atletizm, güreş) olmak üzere toplam 160 (35 kadın, 125 erkek) milli takımda yer alan üst sporcu üzerinden yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve “Egzersiz Bağımlılığı Ölçeği (EBÖ)” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın modeli, nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden betimleyici bir tarama desenidir. Araştırmada pearson korelasyon katsayısı, Mann Whitney U testi, Krusal-Wallis testinden yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda, EBÖ ile katılımcıların yaş değişkeni arasında istatiksel anlamda anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Branş, cinsiyet maddi gelir değişkenleri ile EBÖ alt boyutları arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmamıştır. Katılımcıların spor yaşına göre; ‘Aşırı Odaklanma ve Duygu Değişimi’ alt boyutunda pozitif yönde düşük düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak; üst düzey sporcuların, spor yaşı, branş, cinsiyet, maddi gelir değişkenleri ile egzersiz bağımlılığı ölçek ve alt boyutları toplam puan ortalamalarına bakıldığında ‘bağımlı’ grupta yer aldıkları tespit edilmiştir. Buna sebep olarak; yıllar boyunca düzenli ve profesyonel anlamda spor yapan sporcuların başarılarıyla doğru orantıda yükselen performansları, bireyleri daha fazla egzersiz yapmaya motive ederek, yapmış oldukları egzersizin bağımlılık oluşturabileceğini fark etmelerine engel olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
Media, War and Peace: Towards Peace Journalism Strategies in Pakistan
Authors: Jan Inamullah , Hussain Shabir
Published: August 2020

In this article, the researchers have examined various factors that affect reporting of two deadly conflicts in Pakistan and identify peace-oriented strategies to help resolve these conflicts. For this purpose, comprehensive and inclusive interviews were conducted with reporters covering the Taliban conflict and the ethno-political conflict in Karachi. The researchers found that the nature of a conflict and threats from conflict stakeholders were the important factors that shape the production of conflict news. As far as peace journalism strategies are concerned, it was found that a more contextual way of reporting alongside humanization those sufferers would facilitate broader understanding and resolution of these conflicts in Pakistan.
Does Creating an Artificial General Intelligence Require General Collective Intelligence in Order to be Reliably Achievable?
Authors: Williams Andy E
Published: August 2020

General Collective Intelligence or GCI has been predicted to create the potential for an exponential increase in the problem-solving capacity of the group, as compared to the problem-solving capacity of any individual in the group. A functional model of cognition proposed to represent the complete set of human cognitive functions, and therefore to have the capacity for human-like general problem-solving ability has recently been developed. This functional model suggests a methodical path by which implementing a working Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) or a working General Collective Intelligence might reliably be achievable. This paper explores the claim that there are no other reliable paths to AGI currently known, and explores why this one known path might require an exponential increase in the general problem-solving ability of any group of individuals to be reliably implementable. And why therefore, AGI might require GCI to be reliably achievable.
The Necessity of General Collective Intelligence Driven Processes in Achieving Pervasive Manufacturing
Authors: Williams Andy E
Published: August 2020

General Collective Intelligence has been defined as a system that orchestrates groups to cooperate as a single collective intelligence that greatly increases the group’s general problem-solving ability. This increase in group problem-solving ability applies to any group problem. It applies to manufacturing, where GCI has the potential to facilitate decentralized processes not possible otherwise. It applies to design, where GCI has the potential to reliably enable groups to create designs far too complex otherwise. And it applies to cooperation in general, where GCI has the potential to enable cooperation to be reliably scaled, so where the value of that cooperation is positive and can therefore subsidize the cooperation itself, that value might be increased to the point that it can reliably create powerful competitive advantage for groups of local businesses that cooperate to supply local demand through pervasive manufacturing. This paper explores why for these and other reasons, GCI is a necessary component to achieving pervasive use of pervasive manufacturing.

Published: August 2020

Indigenous food can be said as a local identity because of its existence as part of the culture of the community, such as certain procedures in processing their food, its role in community culture and governance, and recipes that are maintained from generation to generation. Purpose of this research was to identify the kinds of traditional foods, preferences in the consumption pattern in the family of farmers. FGD was performed on each ethnic group, and the members were mothers who understood the traditional foods consumed by people in the related ethnic group and they resided in the ethnic group. Most of the food sources of vegetables consumed by the community were vegetables that many people got from rice fields/dryfields/ gardens Traditional food snacks, side dishes and vegetables in the agricultural households as such as bolu semut, rebung asam ikan gaguk, guasan, gulai nangko,and gulai jamur gerigit.
