Prospects of standardization of professional education
Authors: Solovyov V. P. , Pereskokova T. A.
Published: April 2022

The authors consider the problem of standardization in the system of professional education under the modern conditions. In the Soviet time unification in the system of professional education was comprehensive and based on the model curricula approved by the corresponding sectoral ministries. In 1992 the Law on Education of the Russian Federation introduced educational standards to preserve the unity of professional education in the country. At the same time the formation of the higher education structure of our country was taking place. In 2000 educational and methodical associations developed uniform standards for each area of training of graduates - the second generation standards. After Russia entered the European Educational Area the standards were developed for each direction (specialty). The fundamental difference of the third generation standards involved new approaches to the assessment of the results of higher educational training: transition from the traditional orientation on formation of knowledge, skills and abilities to the assessment of social, personal and professional competences of the graduates. Introduction of competencies as the results of the training into standards implied transformation of the system of students' education and training in order to obtain these competences. However, the universities preserved traditional system of lectures and seminars, which involves the transfer of information and its memorization by students. After numerous modernizations the third generation standards have become prescription in nature and have lost their relevance The authors suggest developing standards for organizing educational process for each category of educational programs (Bachelor, Specialist, Master) to represent general requirements for the term and form of training, the program structure and the conditions of their implementation. The educational and methodical associations together with representatives of potential employers ought to develop qualification characteristics for the graduates of the training directions (specialties). The characteristics ought to be systematically updated according to the transformations of the labour market. Educational programs developed by the universities ought to become the main documents within the professional education system. The education system will be constructed on the basis of academic freedoms and autonomy of educational institutions responsible for the quality of the students' training.
“MINERALS”, “PETROLEUM” AND “OPERATIONS” IN THE MINERAL AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT ACT 28 OF 2002: A GEOLOGIST AS DEVIL’S ADVOCATE FOR A CHANGE?
Authors: PJ Badenhorst  , RW Shone
Published: April 2022

This article examines the meaning of “minerals”, petroleum, “operations” and activities in relation to such substances to determine the ambit of the application of the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002, the type of rights necessary for such operations and activities and the ambit of these rights. The examination of the meaning of these concepts takes place with reference to prior definitions in statutes and also from a natural science and geology perspective. An attempt is made to show that the legal definitions do no always correspond with the geological meanings and the meanings on the ground. It is questioned whether inrecent legislation why more reliance is not placed on input from geologists in the field.
REINSTATEMENT: WHEN DOES A CONTINUING EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP BECOME INTOLERABLE*?
Authors: Rochelle le Roux
Published: April 2022

In the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (hereinafter “the LRA”) the tolerability of the employment relationship features twice: first, in the definition of dismissal, and second, in the context of remedies for unfair dismissal. Section 186(1)(d) of the LRA defines dismissal as including a situation where:“an employee terminated a contract of employment with or without notice because the employer made continued employment intolerable for the employee”.This is commonly known as a constructive dismissal. Section 193 of the LRA, which deals with the remedies for unfairdismissal, provides in subsection 2 that:“(2) The Labour Court or the arbitrator must require the employer to reinstate or re-employ the employee unless –(a) the employee does not wish to be reinstated or re-employed; (b) the circumstances surrounding the dismissal are such that acontinued employment relationship would be intolerable; (c) it is not reasonably practicable for the employer to reinstate or reemploythe employee; or (d) the dismissal is unfair only because the employer did not follow a fair procedure.”The concern of this note is the issue of “intolerability” in the context of section 193 of the LRA; in other words, in the context of reinstatement or reemployment. This is not to suggest that that the two sections quoted above will never be considered concurrently. Clearly, once a tribunal or labour court finds that the requirements of a constructive dismissal as defined in section 186(1)(d) are met, the tribunal or court will find it difficult to order reinstatement or re-employment. Furthermore, a tribunal or court may wellfind direction on the meaning of “intolerability” in the context of remedies from judgments and awards on constructive dismissal. After briefly revisiting the principles of constructive dismissal, the focus of this paper will move to section 193(2)(b) of the LRA. Practical problems associated with reinstatement and the impact of recent judgments on the retrospective effect of reinstatement will also be alluded to.
SOUTH AFRICAN MARINE INSURANCE LAW: THE CURRENT STATE OF OUR DRAFT MARINE INSURANCE BILL AND THE EFFECT OF ITS PROMULGATION ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN MARINE INSURANCE INDUSTRY
Authors: Portia Ndlovu
Published: April 2022

In 1997 a draft proposal for a Marine Insurance Act was prepared as a new South African statute in response to a call for the development of marine insurance by legal practitioners, academics, various members of the Maritime Law Association and other members of various Marine Underwriting bodies (the draft bill was redrafted in 1997 by its main draftsman Adv Douglas Shaw QC). The draft legislation, tends to adopt the form and structure of the English Marine Insurance Act 1906 (6 Edw 7c 41), with minor differences. For instance, in keeping with the South African law on insurance, the draft Act excludes the English law concept “uberrima fides”, which has been rejected as an alien concept under South African insurance law. It is essential for legislature to review the status of the bill as marine insurance forms the oldest part of our well established maritime economy. Developments in marine insurance laws will enable South Africa to participate more meaningfully from a legislative point of view in the international arena. The draft bill is a useful tool in determining the probable future direction of the developments in South African marine insurance, however, this draft legislation has not been promulgated. It is possible to underestimate the usefulness of such a code since ten years have passed since the bill’s last re-draft. It is proposed in this article that there is a need for codified South African Marine Insurance Law and that perhaps the legislature should reopen the debate on the bill and consider it in order to hasten the process of its promulgation. Further, if such a statute is developed it must be unique to South Africa in that it must reflect a balance between the modern Roman-Dutch law as applied by our courts in marine insurance matters while useful English law concepts are also reflected for the purposes of international uniformity. However, if capturing such a dichotomy in the draft bill proves to be against international marine insurance trends, perhaps the best way forward is to promulgate the existing draft Act as is. What must be achieved in the end is that South African Marine Insurance Law must lose its legal research status of being the “Cinderella” of all insurances and have positive laws that govern it specifically in the form of a South African Marine Insurance Act.
THE SINGULAR STATUTORY HOUSEBREAKING CRIME S v Slabb 2007 1 SACR 77 (C)
Authors: Shannon Hoctor
Published: April 2022

If the common-law crime of housebreaking with intent to commit a crime has been criticized for its form and function, the statutory variation of the housebreaking crime, housebreaking with intent to commit a crime to the prosecutor unknown, has been even more controversial, and has been subject to widespread academic criticism. The validity of this offence arose for discussion in S v Slabb (2007 1 SACR 77 (C)) (also briefly discussed by Hoctor “Recent Cases: Specific Crimes” 2007 SACJ 78 87).
REVIEW OF A REFUSAL TO GRANT A PROSPECTING RIGHT Global Pact Trading 207 (Pty) Ltd v The Minister of Minerals and Energy; The Regional Manager: Minerals and Energy, Free State Region; The Deputy Director-General: Minerals and Energy (Case Nr 3118/2006 (O)
Authors: PJ Badenhorst  , Marita Carnelley
Published: April 2022

The decision involved an application for the review and setting aside of a refusal to grant a prospecting right in terms of section 17 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 (the “MPRD Act”)(par 1). The decision also dealt with the right (and duty) of an applicant to an internal appeal in terms of section 96 of the MPRD Act (par 5) as well as the procedural fairness of the decision (par18). The decision by the state to refuse the application for a prospecting right was reviewed and set aside by the court, without requiring such internal appeal, (par 20) as the decision was regarded as manifestly unfair (par 18). The court referred the matter back to the Minister for reconsideration (par 18). At the outset some background information is provided. The idea is not toprovide a detailed discussion about the application for a prospecting right.Thereupon the facts of the case and decision are dealt with and discussed.
The new Dysfunctional Personality Model of the Anxiety Matrix (DPM-AM): “Neurotic Personality Disorder” (NPD)
Authors: Giulio Perrotta
Published: April 2022

Background and objectives: According to the PICI model, second edition, the personality disorders of the neurotic area are six (anxious, phobic, obsessive, somatic, avoidant, and manic) and the diagnosis of the psychopathological disorder is determined on the basis of the persistence of certain dysfunctional traits present in the personality framework. However, on the basis of clinical experience and through the application of IPM/PICI, Deca, PDM, PHEM, and PPP-DNA models (including PF-SPEM and NDAM), it was found that all the disorders of the neurotic area had in common the anxiety traits and that the symptoms of the six different disorders were often present in comorbidity. This assumption led to the hypothesis that there was a different and better way to group them into a single, all-encompassing category: “neurotic personality disorder”. This research aims to demonstrate whether or not the use of this hypothetical new nosographic construct is useful. Materials and methods: Individual clinical interview, consisting of the amnestic collection and administration of the PICI-2TA (Perrotta Integrative Clinical Interviews, version 2-TA), PAD-Q (Perrotta Affective Dependency Questionnaire), PSM-1 (Perrotta Sexual Matrix) and PDM-Q (Perrotta Defence Mechanisms Questionnaire), to each group of population. Result: Of the selected sample of 326 subjects, 318 were eligible because they met the inclusive criteria. The three male groups, subdivided by age (18-36, 37-54, 55-72), completely resolved their neurotic symptoms in 86.7% (13/15), 87.5% (7/8) and 60% (3/5), for a partial total of 78.1% (23/28), while the remaining 21.9% (5/28) declared to have benefited from the PPP-DNA protocol with an attenuation of at least 50% of their neurotic symptoms. The three female groups, subdivided according to age (18-36, 37-54, 55-72), completely resolved their neurotic symptoms in 93.3% (154/165), 95% (57/60), and 92.3% (60/65), for a partial total of 93.5% (271/290), while the remaining 6.5% (19/290) declared to have benefited from the PPP-DNA protocol with at least a 50% attenuation of their neurotic symptoms. Conclusion: The PPP-DNA protocol is effective for 85.8% (with a greater prevalence of effectiveness in the female population) in the resolution of neurotic symptoms of anxious, phobic, somatic, avoidant, obsessive, and manic nature, both with the previous wording and with the new nosographic hypothesis “neurotic personality disorder”, as it does not represent a new psychopathological construct but only a different way of grouping disorders of cluster A (neurotic) to avoid that the absorptions do not take into account important dysfunctional traits that are instead at the base of those disorders and therefore does not affect in any case the exact diagnosis of the dysfunctional personality profile.

Zooplankton of the Brackish Lakes in Turan-Uyuk Basin (Republic of Tyva)
Authors:   Tuvinian Institute for Exploration of Natural Resources SB RAS, Kirova Nadezhda A.
Published: April 2022

The study addresses the species composition of zooplankton in five mineralized water bodies located in the Turan-Uyuk basin (Tyva). Lake Beloye is a regional natural landmark. In total, 36 species of 22 genera, 9 families, 4 orders were identified. Cladocera constitute 67 % of the species. The major species are Daphnia magna, Brachionus plicatilis, Daphnia pulex, Daphnia longispina, Megacyclops viridis, Ceriodaphnia reticulata, Chydorus cf. sphaericus, Simocephalus expinosus, Acanthodiaptomus denticornis, Arctodiaptomus baсillifer, Moina macrocopa, Keratella quadrata, Brachionus quadridentatus brevispinus, and Daphnia hyalina. The main abundant species in two lakes, Beloye and Arzhaan, is D. magna, which has been the dominant species in Lake Beloye for decades. The zooplankton of Lakes Beloye and Arzhaan include Macrotrix tabrizensis, a rare species, which is known to occur only in one Russian region – Tyva. Tretocephala ambigua lives in Lake Beloye. In the study period, we observed an increase in the abundance of zooplankton: by a factor of 6 in Lake Beloye and by a factor of 2 in Lakes Kisloe and Arzhaan. We believe that this is a consequence of an increase in organic load on water bodies, resulting from shallowing of the lakes and human impact. The occurrence of the species such as Moina macrocopa and Brachionus quadridentatus brevispinus, which inhabit water bodies rich in organic matter and have not been previously detected in the study lakes, confirms this assumption. Cladocerans, which have a high filtration capacity, remain dominant in Lakes Beloye and Arzhaan, and this is beneficial for the lakes. The increasing abundance of Brachionus plicatilis in Lake Kisloye performs a compensatory function in the processes of natural self-purification. At the same time, the fact that species rare for the fauna of Russia have been constantly found in the study lakes indicates the presence of favorable conditions for their development and life, which further increases the value of these unique natural environments
China in Africa: Assessing the Consequences for the Continent’s Agenda for Economic Regionalism
Authors: Colom-Jaén Artur , Mateos Óscar
Published: April 2022

Africa has become a major arena in the so-called “multiplex world.” The growing presence of China and other emerging countries on the continent in the last two decades has turned Africa into an area in which there are a large number of different patterns of interaction between state and non-state actors. International debates are polarised over whether these new South–South dynamics generate new dependency relations or whether they provide genuine opportunities for transformation. This article focuses on China’s role in the ongoing processes of economic integration in Africa. Far from merely reproducing a neoliberal pattern, this interaction may highlight a certain convergence between the African regional integration projects and China’s desire to promote structural transformation strategies, with investment in infrastructure being an example. However, the article concludes that rather than reinforcing African regional integration, this essentially bilateral and highly pragmatic Chinese strategy may have some indirect returns on regional integration but is actually showing some signs of decline.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT OF UKRAINE AND ITS INSTITUTIONAL (UN-)CERTAINTY: CURRENT PROBLEMS OF DOMESTIC STATE BUILDING
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Prylutskyi S.
Published: April 2022

Since its founding, the Constitutional Court of Ukraine (CCU) has been an integral part of the judiciary and has been an integral part of the unified justice system. After the transformations of 2016, which underwent the Basic Law of Ukraine, the institutional position of the CCU in the system of public authorities has acquired a completely new format. And, as it turns out in practice, the legal status of the CCU is quite difficult to define and articulate. One of the major conceptual changes affecting the institutional status of the CCU was the deprivation of its exclusive role as the sole body of constitutional jurisdiction in Ukraine. The paper reveals deviations from the imperative provisions of Article 5 of the Constitution of Ukraine in matters of the procedure for changing the constitutional order. The negative factor of depriving the CCU of its institutional affiliation with the judiciary significantly limits the application of guarantees of independence and relevant standards for the judiciary. The transformation of the CCU from a judicial body into a "political" one, but with an uncertain constitutional and legal status, opens unlimited opportunities for political "players" to influence the legal positions and independence of both its individual members and the body as a whole. It was found that the transformation of the CCU from a judicial body into a "political" one, but with an uncertain constitutional and legal status, opens unlimited opportunities for political players to influence the legal positions of individual members and the body as a whole. Violation of the foundations of the separation of powers, as the basic algorithm of modern constitutionalism, will inevitably lead to a crisis of public administration and the political system. Therefore, today we need to look for legally correct and balanced ways to eliminate this systemic error and restore the legal constitutional order of Ukraine.
Impact of baffle on forced convection heat transfer of CuO/water nanofluid in a micro-scale backward facing step channel
Authors: RANA Shailendra , DURA Hari Bahadur , BHATTRAI Sudip , SHRESTHA Rajendra
Published: April 2022

Numerical simulations have been carried out to investigate the thermal-hydraulic characteristics using water-based CuO nanofluid with volume fraction (ϕ) = 0 - 5% and fixed nanoparticle size (dp) = 20 nm at Reynolds numbers (Re) = 100 - 389 in a micro-scale backward facing step channel with and without a baffle using finite volume method. The flow is steady, laminar, and incompressible. The channel has an expansion ratio (ER) = 1.9423with a fixed step height (S) of 490 μm. To study the effect of the baffle, different geometrical configurations have been developed by varying its height and location. The height of the baffle is varied as Hb = 160 - 640 μm. The baffle is stationed on the upper wall of the channel at a dimensionless distance (D)= 1, 2, 3 and 4. The upstream, step and upper walls are thermally insulated while the lower wall downstream of the step is under a constant heat flux (qs") = 20000 W/m2. The parameters of interest for analysis are Nusselt number, skin friction coefficient and velocity distribution under different flow conditions. Results indicate that the rise in volume fraction and Reynolds number enhances the Nusselt number, indicating improved heat transfer. However, the skin friction coefficient decreases with the increment in Reynolds number. The increase in baffle height causes the Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient to rise. As the baffle is moved away from the step, the Nusselt number tends to decrease. In comparison to water, the heat transfer improved by about 164% using CuO nanofluid at Re = 389 with ϕ = 5% in the presence of the baffle with Hb = 640 μm and D = 1. However, the heat transfer enhancement has been achieved at the cost of higher pumping power requirements.

Student enrollment in recent years and institutions of higher education have a keen interest in offering quality online MBA programs to meet the demands. This study aimed to develop an online learning platform. The project is a description of one of the methods of the Data Structure Course, which describes how to store data inside the Ram Memory. It is a website that contains a video to explain one of the methods of storing data within the memory of the computer, and the site contains a special page of training, which distinguishes it from the rest of the educational sites. The site helps to test the health of solving the issues of the student training on the lesson. The site shows how to use the pop front method, pop back method, push front method, push back method and delete the list from the memory. All of these functions could be difficult to imagine in reality, so the researchers designed a webpage to do this task.

Social Engagement and Mental Health Symptoms Across Asian American Ethnic Groups During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Islam Jessica Y. , Awan Iman , Kapadia Farzana
Published: April 2022

Background: To examine social engage­ment and mental health symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic across Asian American (AA) ethnic groups.Methods: Data from three waves of the nationally representative COVID-19 House­hold Impact Survey (4/20/2020-6/8/2020) were used to describe social engagement and mental health symptoms during the pandemic. Associations between mental health and social engagement were assessed via multinomial logistic regression.Results: In this sample of 312 AAs (36.9% Chinese American, 30.9% South Asian American, 20.1% Filipino/Vietnamese American, and 12.0% Japanese/Korean American), daily communication with neighbors declined for Chinese, South Asian and Filipino/Vietnamese Americans but increased for Japanese/Korean Americans (P=.012) whereas communication with friends/family increased only for Filipino/ Vietnamese, Japanese/Korean and South Asian Americans (P<0.001). Differences in self-reported symptoms of anxiety, depres­sion, loneliness, and hopelessness were observed across AA ethnic groups. In ad­justed models, lower social engagement was associated with frequent (3-4 days/week) depressive symptoms during the preceding week (cOR:3.26, 95%CI:1.01-10.5). This association was heightened for Asian men (cOR:14.22, 95%CI:3.62-55.8).Conclusions: Heterogeneity of social engagement and mental health symp­toms across AA ethnicities was observed. Understanding associations between social engagement and mental health within dif­ferent communities is necessary to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health treatment and care.Ethn Dis. 2022;32(2):131-144; doi:10.18865/ed.32.2.131

Generation 1.5: Years in the United States and Other Factors Affecting Smoking Behaviors Among Asian Americans
Authors: Shi Lu , Mayorga Maria , Su Dejun , Li Yan , Martin Emily , Zhang Donglan
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Generation 1.5, immigrants who moved to a different country before adulthood, are hypothesized to have unique cognitive and behavioral patterns. We ex­amined the possible differences in cigarette smoking between Asian subpopulations who arrived in the United States at different life stages.Methods: Using the Asian subsample of the 2015 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Cur­rent Population Survey, we tested this Gen­eration 1.5 hypothesis with their smoking behavior. This dataset was chosen because its large sample size allowed for a national-level analysis of the Asian subsamples by sex, while other national datasets might not have adequate sample sizes for analysis of these subpopulations. The outcome variable was defined as whether the survey respondent had ever smoked 100 cigarettes or more, with the key independent variable operationalized as whether the respon­dent was: 1) born in the United States; 2) entered the United States before 12; 3) entered between 12 and 19; and 4) entered after 19. Logistic regressions were run to examine the associations with covariates including the respondent’s age, educational attainment, and household income.Results: Asian men who entered before 12 were less likely to have ever smoked 100 cigarettes than those who immigrated after 19; for Asian women, three groups (born in the United States, entered before 12, en­tered between 12 and 19) were more likely to have smoked 100 cigarettes than those who immigrated after 19.Conclusions: While Asian men who came to the United States before 12 were less at risk for cigarette smoking than those who immigrated in adulthood, the pattern was the opposite among Asian women. Those who spent their childhood in the United States were more likely to smoke than those who came to the United States in adult­hood. These patterns might result from the cultural differences between US and Asian countries, and bear policy relevance for the tobacco control efforts among Asian Americans.

Inclusive, collaborative and personalised professional development process for the post–emergency remote teaching era: The importance of virtual professional learning networks
Authors: BALTACI Zeynep , UCAN Serkan
Published: April 2022

Emergency remote teaching process was initiated as a solution to the crisis of Covid–9 pandemic in order to ensure the sustainability of education. While being expected to quickly adapt to the sudden changes brought by the pandemic, educational institutions, teachers, students and parents were observed to come across many challenges during this process. The review article aims to focus on the types of challenges teachers experience during the emergency remote teaching process and identify the characteristics of the professional development process they require in this period. Considering the pedagogical, psychological and student–related difficulties, it is suggested that the professional development support teachers need should be provided with a multidimensional and holistic approach. Specifically, this paper highlights how virtual professional learning networks can play an important role in meeting the professional development needs of teachers arising both during and in the post Covid–19 pandemic period.

The primary concern of this paper is to engage in a critical inquiry on the issue of identity in the literature of the diaspora by three selected writers Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Bharati Mukherjee. An identity crisis is not a product of any singular circumstance or reason. There can be multiple factors contributing to the crisis of identity in an individual. It is important to note here that not only the source but also the manifestation of the crisis is varied, in the sense that individuals differ in their ways of internalizing, as also, externalizing, the emotions attached to his/her identity- as a man/woman; as a citizen; as a professional; as a part of the system of beings, etc. My concern, however, is with the loss of identity as a consequence of the loss of culture. I propose that settlements in foreign lands (away from one's birthplace/ native land) are bound to breed a sense of identity loss since there has been, willy-nilly, a loss of cultural identity while trying to fit in into a new land/social surrounding—and the culture thereof.

Purpose of the research: This article discusses the different aspects to consider when deciding the pedagogical choices by which various political sciences can be taught and learnt. Pedagogy is the educational process a teacher uses to teach a learner a new skill. Pedagogy can be teacher-centred or learner-centred, the latter focussing on students having an active role in the learning process. Research methodology: This critical review was written by conducting several internet searches using clearly relevant keywords. Grey literature, policy documents from numerous state actors, associated democratisation, higher education practitioners and stakeholders, feature extensively in this critical review. Findings: Political science students could be taught using experiential learning-centred pedagogy, to learn how equality, diversity and inclusion affect political processes. A basic understanding of political science concepts e.g., agenda-setting and media manipulation, are crucial in conceptualising the politic of equality, diversity and inclusion. Conclusions: Three factors that have caused a significant increase in political science degree applications: The 2008 election of Barack Obama as US President heralded digital democracy and E-government participation.; the rise to prominence of Greta Thunberg, climate activist with the environmentalist movement Extinction Rebellion; the #BLM social movement, re-ignited by the death of George Floyd.

A clinical case of laparoscopic splenectomy with resection of an aneurysmically altered splenic artery is presented. A 55-year-old female patient was diagnosed with a splenic artery aneurysm on computed tomography. Performed transfemoral angiography – fusiform aneurysm, X-ray endovascular embolization is not feasible. The operation was performed laparoscopy, resection of the aneurysm of the proximal splenic artery, splenectomy. The postoperative period was uneventful. The patient was discharged with recovery. The possibility of performing such a surgical intervention was due to the anatomical and topographic conditions of the location of the aneurysm and was aimed at achieving radical treatment with low invasiveness and trauma of the intervention.

Climacteric fruits (banana, apple, pear, avocado, garden egg and mango) are actually eaten when ripen; but garden egg is not palatable when ripens and decreases demand. Influence of packaging material and rates of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) on postharvest ripening of garden egg was evaluated to access the interactive effect of KMnO4 and packaging material in delaying ripening. Two packaging materials; polythene and jute bags, KMnO4 at 0g, 3g, 6g and 9g were used. The experiment was a 2 x 4 factorial laid in completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Eight treatment combinations were randomly distributed. Fruits were stored for seven days and were observed every 2 days. Result revealed that packaging material influenced postharvest ripening of garden egg with polythene bag reducing the intensity of ripening and significantly reduced shrinkage. Similarly, KMnO4 at (3g and 9g) significantly delayed ripening intensity at 4 and 6 days of storage.

Authors: Lin Jiwei , Pan Tso-Chien
Published: April 2022

Critical infrastructure such as the transportation, power generation, water supply, telecommunications, security and health services/systems, etc. are essential for providing a reliable flow of goods and services, crucial to the functioning of the economy and society. These infrastructures are closely linked and dependent on one another, and these interdependencies need to be modelled in order to analyse the disruptions and vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure networks as a whole. With increased, investment and complexity in the coupling of gas and electricity network, limitations and vulnerabilities of the coupled networks are becoming increasingly relevant to the operational planning of the critical infrastructures. Current modelling of a coupled gas and electricity network will be used in conjunction with nation input-output interdependency model to model physical critical infrastructures and critical infrastructure interdependencies, respectively. This research work will tackle two possible scenarios that might happen in the gas network while evaluating the cascading impact both in the physical model perspective and input-output interdependency model perspective. The results will provide insights on how disruption in the gas network affects the electricity grid and its corresponding economic impact on all economic sectors in a nation.
Impacto de la legalización del consumo recreativo del cannabis
Authors: Isorna Manuel , Pascual Francisco , Aso Ester , Arias Francisco
Published: April 2022

En los últimos años se han producido importantes cambios legislativos en numerosos países respecto al consumo de cannabis con fines medicinales y/o recreativos, que han facilitado su accesibilidad. Actualmente, Uruguay, Canadá y algunos estados de EE.UU. han legalizado el consumo recreativo, aplicando distintos modelos legislativos. El objetivo de la presente revisión es analizar los efectos que ha tenido la legalización del cannabis recreativo sobre su consumo y sus consecuencias. En general, las evidencias indican que la legalización se ha asociado a un descenso en el precio, mayor concentración de THC (potencia), mayor diversidad de presentaciones para su consumo, una menor percepción de riesgo y un incremento en el consumo en adultos y de forma moderada en adolescentes (aunque sea ilegal el consumo para ellos), así como un aumento de las consecuencias adversas derivadas del consumo en la salud pública. Se ha producido un descenso en los arrestos relacionados con el consumo, pero el mercado ilegal sigue utilizándose de forma habitual. No se ha detectado un incremento de la demanda de tratamiento por este consumo. Por el momento, estos cambios legislativos no han conseguido alcanzar sus objetivos principales que eran suprimir el mercado ilegal y proteger a los grupos más vulnerables, mientras que, por el contrario, parecen implicar un incremento de algunos aspectos negativos asociados al consumo de cannabis. Sin embargo, teniendo en cuenta que la mayoría de estos cambios legislativos han entrado en vigor hace relativamente poco tiempo, se requiere un periodo de seguimiento mayor para poder extraer conclusiones definitivas.
