Authors: Jideofor Anselm Akubue , Mohammed Salman , Tyabo Salihu , Mohammed Abdulkadir
Published: March 2024

All living creatures rely on spatial orientation to navigate through familiar environments. For humans, everyday activities depend on spatial orientation for navigating routes from outside locations to final destinations. The study suggests that the larger buildings get, the more the challenges of spatial orientation for their users. Likewise, building forms and configurations impact significantly on the course of wayfinding. In the case of hospitals, spatial configuration has been identified as significant in influencing human movements, performances of users and efficiency of services. This paper analyses the layout configurations of selected large hospital buildings in Nigeria using axial lines and relates the analysis with spatial orientation and wayfinding process. The aim of the study was to identify the extent of the impact of building layout configuration on spatial orientation and wayfinding process. The three large-sized hospitals selected for the study presented different scenarios which identified simplicities and complexities of building layout configurations as significant in the process of wayfinding. A comparative summary of the three hospitals in the study suggests that the less complex hospital layout presented the least spatial disorientation effect. This is mostly due to the linear sightlines utilized in the layout configuration design with fewer turns that enable visual connectivity to destination points thus indicating lesser challenges for wayfinding.

The search for new promising pear varieties with high adaptation and production potential is an important aim of modern breeding for the southern regions of the Russian Federation. In present study, the results of the physiological characteristics of four pear varieties during the summerautumn season 2022-2023 are presented. Pear trees were planted in the territory of the Prikubanskaya fruit growing in the Krasnodar Region. Three varieties Leven, Lyuberskaya, Flamenco of Russian breeding and the American variety Devo were used. The pear leaves were selected three times during the summer months and in September. The content of soluble sugars and total phenols, as well as the activity of antioxidant enzymes – superoxide dismutase and peroxidase – were determined in the plant material. It was established that an increase of the level of the primary and secondary metabolites accumulation and an increase of enzymatic activity by ~20-75 % occurred in the hotter and drier 2023. The content of soluble sugars significantly increased to ~12.0 mg/g fresh weight in the leaves of the varieties Devo and Leven. The accumulation of phenolic compounds increased in all pear varieties by more than 30 % with values exceeding 27,0 mg/g fresh weight. The level of superoxide dismutase activity in 2023 averaged 13.4 unit/mg protein, which is slightly higher than the values of 2022. Peroxidase activity increased 2-4 times with maximum values of more than 8,0 unit/mg protein per min. in the varieties Leven and Lyuberskaya. In conclusion, the data obtained indicate that the drier and hotter conditions of 2023 were not critical for the normal growth and development of the studied pears varieties, but only initiated the activation of the defense antioxidant system in plant cells.

Published: March 2024

As known, tomatoes contain a fairly large amount of biologically valuable substances in their composition. Consumers prefer tomatoes in fresh form. However, being a climacteric crop, tomatoes differ during storage and maturation by a high rate of respiration and evaporation of moisture, which leads to a decrease in valuable nutrients, deterioration in quality, over-ripening and rapid aging, which as a result reduces the marketable appearance of products. Traditional methods of processing tomatoes before storage are not always effective enough to maintain the quality of tomato fruits at the proper level, since it is not always possible to store tomatoes at the recommended low temperature, the necessary relative humidity, etc. In order to increase the storage time of tomatoes while maintaining their quality and safety, it is necessary to search for new modern methods of fruit processing before storage. In this regard, an overview of existing traditional technologies, as well as modern and promising techniques and methods for preparing fresh tomatoes for storage, contributing to the reduction of quantitative losses, preserving qualitative characteristics, is carried out. The most promising methods of preliminary preparation of tomatoes for storage, providing a high level of physical-chemical, organoleptic and microbiological indicators that ensure the safety of stored products are: treatment with ethylene biosynthesis inhibitors and ethylene absorbers, ozonation, modified gas atmosphere, electric field and ultrasound treatment, the use of biological products, the use of active packaging, antimicrobial film-forming coatings, etc. The article describes the work of both domestic and foreign researchers.

The work shows the results of the influence of the degree of maturity, storage parameters and processing method on the techno-chemical parameters of zucchini. Thus, during the organoleptic assessment of zucchini of different degrees of maturity, stored at a temperature of 8 to 10 ºC for 18 days, it was found that ELF EMF treatment allows maintaining organoleptic quality indicators. At the same time, the average expert assessment score for zucchini of the 1st degree of maturity treated with ELF EMF was the maximum. The maximum weight loss was observed in zucchini of the 1st degree of maturity, the minimum – in the 3rd degree of maturity. When storing zucchini, weight loss depends on the degree of maturity. The minimum weight loss of zucchini without treatment was noted at the 3rd degree of maturity, and the greatest – at the 1st degree of maturity. It has been established that when storing zucchini, ELF EMF treatment can reduce weight loss compared to the control sample for zucchini of the 1st and 2nd degrees of maturity. When studying changes in the biochemical parameters of zucchini depending on the degree of maturity, the method of processing samples and storage conditions, it was found that they decrease over time. During storage, ELF EMF treatment can reduce the loss of soluble solids by 0.2-0.5 %, and when stored in a refrigerator – by 0.2-0.3 %, depending on the degree of maturity. It has also been established that to assess the degree of maturity of zucchini, the iodine-starch method can be used, the essence of which lies in the ability of starch to give a blue-black color in an iodine solution: hydrolysis of starch during the ripening of zucchini proceeds in the direction from the center to the periphery of the seed chamber, which makes it possible to assess the degree of maturity zucchini fruits.

Published: March 2024

In this work, an attempt has been made to study the possibility of using carbon dioxide extracts from plant raw materials as an additive to improve the taste and aromatic parameters of a grape-containing drink. Advancing the technology of juices and drink is mainly aimed at improving their stability indicators, preserving and increasing the content of biologically active substances. Considerable attention in the production conditions is paid to the use of preservation agents, especially if this applies to products intended for infant food. In this work, methods of chemical analysis, capillary electrophoresis, gas chromatography using a capillary column were used to assess the general parameters of the component composition of grape juice. Experiments on the modification of grape drink used carbon dioxide extracts produced by OOO «Karavan» (Krasnodar). To compare the component composition of the extracts, the substances were determined by group characteristics. It has been shown that the use of CO2 extracts increases the stability of grape-containing drink. The effect on the taste, color and aroma of grape juices from Aligote, Riesling varieties was investigated at the following doses of vegetable extracts – 0.005 %, 0.01 % and 0.02 %. The main condition for the use of the carbon dioxide extract additive has been determined – it should not change the taste and aromatic characteristics of grape-containing drink. Among the selected plant extracts, only the addition of 0.005 % of horse chestnut or coconut allowed to ensure the stability of the product and did not change its taste characteristic. The use of these carbon dioxide extracts allowed to increase the stability of grape-containing drink within the warranty period and contributed to its clarification.

Published: March 2024

Hibiscus x moscheutos L. is a promising decorative perennial for inclusion in green plantings in the southern regions of Russia. Currently, there is no data available on the most effective methods of propagating hibiscus in the conditions of southern gardening in Russia. Since 2014, FSBSI «North Caucasian Federal Scientific Center of Horticulture, Viticulture, Wine-making» (Krasnodar) has been carrying out work on introduction and variety study of H. x moscheutos. The collection includes 47 varieties. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the potential of vegetative propagation of promising varieties using the herbaceous cuttings method. The study included 18 varieties and hybrids. In the experiment 2 cutting periods were studied: 1st period – spring (II-III decade of May), 2nd period – summer (III decade of June – 1st decade of July (control). It was established that herbaceous cuttings can be carried out in 2 periods – in the II decade of May, with the placement of mother bushes in protected ground, and in the III decade of June, with the preparation of cuttings from mother plants growing in open ground. For most varieties, spring cuttings are preferable. In this case, young plants overwinter better, and the yield of marketable seedlings after 1 year of growing in pots is higher. During wintering of plants of summer cuttings, a high percentage of death was observed, which is associated with the low winter hardiness of young plants. A significant decrease in the yield of marketable seedlings after 1 year of growing in plants of summer cuttings was detected in the following varieties: Berry Awersome, Midnithe Marvell, Plam Flambe, Perfect Storm – a decrease in the yield of seedlings of I grade was observed by almost 2 times in comparison with plants rooted in spring. The best performance in herbaceous cuttings was found in the following varieties: Cherry Cheescake, Cranberry Crush, Peppermint Schnapps, Jazzberry Jam, Summer in Paradise, Krasny Rusanova, Hybrid № 5. These cultivars combine in their genotype adaptability to abiotic stress factors and increased productivity of uterine bushes during cuttings and provide a high yield of marketable seedlings when grown in pots.

Examining the Nexus of Financial Inclusion, Household Consumption, and Economic Growth: A 3SLS Approach
Authors: Ekmen İbrahim , Karatepe Yalçın
Published: March 2024

The relationship between finance and the economy is a long-standing debate in the development literature. While some researchers argue that finance tracks economic growth, others contend that finance is a crucial determinant of economic growth. The research findings on this topic differ depending on the country, period studied, data analyzed, and research methodology employed.

On the other hand, the relationship between economic growth and financial inclusion is a relatively new area of study in academic literature. The primary objective of financial inclusion is to guarantee that each person has access to and uses financial products at an affordable cost. Within this context, accessing and using financial products is seen in the framework of financial citizenship.

This paper examines the impacts of digital banking and financial inclusion on economic growth and household consumption in Turkey. For this purpose, financial inclusion and digital banking indices have been constructed. Further, the relations between these indices with the GDP Index and the Resident Household Consumption Index are examined by the three-stage least square (3SLS) methodology with two equations. The results show that digital banking and financial inclusion positively impact economic growth and household consumption.

Authors: Gümüş Mehmet , Yumurtacı Aydoğmuş Hacer , Özder Emir Hüseyin
Published: March 2024

Freight villages are logistics hubs where distribution and storage related activities meet. Determining their locations and capacities is a strategically important yet a difficult problem due to its complex structure. This paper provides a mixed integer linear programming model for identifying the locations, number, and capacities of freight villages. Objective is to set up a distribution network and minimize its total cost. The proposed model is computationally efficient as the optimal solution can be found within minutes. The model is applied using real life data in Turkey. The application includes major container ports as supply points and all cities as demand points, which are also alternative locations for freight villages. Optimal solution provides a plan and a budget to build the required capacity and number of logistics villages dispersed geographically. Sensitivity analysis is also conducted to investigate the system-wide costs and derive insights when there is a limit on the number of freight villages.
Evaluating Fiscal Performance: A Fixed-Effect Panel Threshold Approach to National and Supranational Rules *
Authors: Yelkesen Oğuzhan , Varol İyidoğan Pelin
Published: March 2024

Fiscal rules are designed to prevent budget deficits arising from frequent and abrupt changes in countries' fiscal policies. These changes can be attributed to shifts in regional and global economic conditions, as well as short-term decisions made by governments. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased government spending and borrowing, rendering governments more vulnerable. In this context, the implementation of fiscal rules has gained renewed attention. However, to construct a more resilient infrastructure against future crises, it is not only the national fiscal rules that are critical, but also the presence of supranational fiscal rules that can ensure coordination and discipline among countries has become increasingly important. This study, therefore, seeks to analyze the impact of national and supranational fiscal rules on fiscal performance in 31 advanced economies over the period 2000-2020, utilizing the fixed-effect panel threshold model approach. The results indicate that national fiscal rule implementations become effective after a certain threshold level, whereas supranational fiscal rules are effective both below and above a specific debt threshold. This implies that while both types of fiscal rules are effective, supranational rules stand out in terms of their magnitude and their effectiveness even at lower levels of debt. These findings are expected to guide policymakers in evaluating fiscal rule policies and balancing local needs with the achievement of regional objectives.
The Future of Globalization
Authors: Papanikos Gregory T.
Published: March 2024

The future of globalization has been debated ever since the term was introduced. The recent shocks of the Great Recession and the pandemic seem to herald a new epoch in the trajectory of globalization. Moving away from the hyperglobalization of the 1990s and 2000s, the world appears to be transitioning into a phase of deglobalization. The concept of globalization is intricate and multifaceted. This paper delves into four aspects of globalization: economic, political, social, and cultural. Poverty alleviation should stand as the paramount objective of globalization, closely intertwined with economic growth and democracy. The latter is essential for implementing policies that channel the benefits of economic growth to those striving to break free from poverty. In conclusion, it's asserted that globalization, when coupled with democracy, can continue to foster poverty reduction. The end of this process is the total eradication of poverty.

The determining factors of the success of the leading TNCs are the level of personal and professional development of personnel, their ability to learn and the need for self-improvement. However, modern conditions require continuous development, and this can only be achieved directly in the process of work, provided that innovative personnel development tools are used - coaching, mentoring (mentoring).
Why did we do that? A Systematic Approach to Tracking Decisions in the Design and Iteration of Learning Experiences
Authors: Totino Lauren , Kessler Aaron M
Published: March 2024

Practitioners today are often tasked with designing learning experiences situated in increasingly complex contexts where defining the challenge, understanding learners and stakeholders, and being informed by theory and evidence must all be taken into consideration when planning and implementing a solution. The Learning Engineering Evidence and Decision (LEED) tracker is one possible tool for managing these various channels of influence by recording, revisiting, and iterating upon actionable design decisions in an evidence-grounded way. Emerging from specific examples of LEED tracker use by a learning engineering team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are general benefits for others engaging in design for learning: it concretizes decisions grounded in understandings of pedagogical approaches and context, facilitates iteration and improvement based on data, and serves as a communication tool among stakeholders.

Recent cross-sectional and experimental research has found measures of climate change related distress to be positively associated with measures of self-efficacy. Authors of some of these studies have interpreted this finding in terms of motivated control, that is, people who experience climate change related distress are motivated to believe that they can help mitigate climate change. We extend this notion of motivated control by assuming that efficacy beliefs flowing from climate change related distress play a role in encouraging climate action. In two cross-sectional studies, we investigate this assumption: Study 1 used data from a multi-country study and found that negative emotions regarding climate change were positively associated with climate action and both individual and collective self-efficacy. Furthermore, we found evidence for an indirect effect of negative emotions on climate action via self-efficacy (individual and collective). Study 2 conceptually replicated this mediation effect, using data from a sample of citizens in Germany and a different measure of distress, focusing on climate change worry. Additional exploratory analyses revealed that associations with self-efficacy and climate action were stronger for more adaptive forms of climate change worry, compared to less adaptive forms. We conclude that our findings provide correlational support for motivated control being one of the psychological processes – and self-efficacy being one of the person-level factors – that account for adaptive behavioral reactions to climate change related distress. Experimental and longitudinal studies are needed to further substantiate this conclusion.
Cooperation, Domination: Twin Functions of Third-Party Punishment
Authors: Wylie Jordan , Gantman Ana P.
Published: March 2024

Rules serve many important functions in society. One such function is to codify, and make public and enforceable, a society’s desired prescriptions and proscriptions. This codification means that rules come with predefined punishments administered by third parties. We argue that when we look at how third parties punish rule violations, we see that rules and their punishments often serve dual functions. They support and help to maintain cooperation as it is usually theorized, but they also facilitate the domination of marginalized others. We begin by reviewing literature on rules and third-party punishment, arguing that a great deal of punishment research has neglected to consider the unique power of codified rules. We also argue that by focusing on codified rules, it becomes clear that the enforcement of such rules via third-party punishment is often used to exert control, punish retributively, and oppress outgroup members. By challenging idealized theory of rules as facilitators of social harmony, we highlight their role in satisfying personal punishment motives, and facilitating discrimination in a way that is uniquely justifiable to those who enforce them.
Love or Be Loved: Commitment Signaling and Spontaneous Occurrence of Division of Labor
Authors: Iha Ryushin
Published: March 2024

Objective A previous study (Iha, 2023) showed that division of labor occurs spontaneously when a man and a woman are simply paired. It also showed that when division of labor does occur, men undertake more costly tasks than women. However, it is still unclear whether men always undertake high-cost tasks and women always avoid such tasks. Therefore, it was examined when men and women do and do not undertake a high-cost task. Methods Using an online scenario experiment, 1247 participants from four countries were randomly assigned to one of two conditions (compete/choose) to determine whether participants differed in their likelihood of making a high-cost choice depending on the relationship with their imaginary opposite-sex partner. Results Overall, men were more likely than women to make a high-cost choice, and both men and women who participated in the compete condition (participant loved their imaginary opposite-sex partner) were more likely to make a high-cost choice than those who participated in the choose condition (participant was loved by their imaginary opposite-sex partner). In addition, all observed effects were consistent across the four countries. Conclusion The results of the current study support the mutual mate choice model in that women can be competitive to obtain a desirable mate, but also support the males-compete/females-choose model in that men overall have a greater tendency to compete for a potential mate.
Urban vacancy in Europe: A synthetic review and research agenda
Authors: van Heur Bas
Published: March 2024

Although still a niche within established disciplines, research on urban vacancy has boomed in recent decades, with different research communities investigating different dimensions of vacancy. However, these communities rarely communicate with each other, leading to parallel debates, different conceptual vocabularies and diverging empirical foci. This becomes particularly problematic in the current era, which is best characterized not simply as an ’urban age’, but as one in which city regions find themselves at the heart of economic, ecological and societal crises that are reshaping our world. Vacant spaces can be understood as symptoms of these crises, but also as actually existing and potential sites for experimentation, prefiguring new and more sustainable ways of urban living. To develop this perspective conceptually and empirically, the current paper offers a synthetic review of the existing literature, with a specific focus on the European context. Cutting across different research domains, the paper concludes by proposing an interdisciplinary research agenda on urban vacancy.
‘Black and Some Other Race?’: Examining Shifts in the Black Latino Population in the Census Bureau’s Modified Race Question

This study leverages sample data from the American Community Survey (ACS) to assess how changes to the 2020 race question influence the odds of multi-race classification for Black Latinos. Our results suggest that most Black Latino origin groups exhibit higher odds of multi-race classification in the modified race question compared to the pre-2020 race question. The reclassification of single-race Black Latinos as multiracial is particularly notable for Dominicans and Hondurans. Our findings also reveal that Black Latinos who provided multiple origin responses that are ethno-racially distinct (i.e. Nigerian and Panamanian) are nearly 21 percent less likely to be classified as multiracial in the modified race question. This finding suggests that the coding schemes used in the modified race question may be overclassifying single-race Black Latinos as multiracial. In fact, we find substantial drops in single-race Black Latino origin group counts between samples, which coincides with a relative surge in multi-race classifications. Ultimately, this study underscores the ethical consequences of misclassifying single-race Black Latino responses as multiracial while also emphasizing the broader methodological implications in how official changes to question wording and coding schemes lead to artificial population shifts that are not attributed to natural demographic change.
