Assess the Extinction Risk of Mountain Endemic Plants in Egypt Under the Current Climatic Condition: A Case Study of Endemic Silene Species
Authors: Omar Karim , Elgamal Ibrahim
Published: October 2021

The process of developing a conservation programme for endemic plant species, in particular those with a small geographical size in mountain ecosystems, whether in situ of ex situ, is a very complex matter, especially if data on the state of the environment and conservation are unavailable. Silene leucophylla and Silene oreosinaica are perennial plants endemic to St. Catherine Protected Area (SCPA), which locate at South Sinai, Egypt. For long time, the second species has not been observed in the field. As a result, the purpose of this study was to increase understanding of the two species' ecological and conservation statuses by: The first step is to confirm their existence on the ground; the second step is to determine the present ecological and conservation conditions through an extinction risk assessment by using IUCN Red List methodology; and the third step is the use of Species Distribution Model (SDM) to locate and extract current appropriate habitat suitability. The field research, which was conducted between March to December 2017, resulted in building knowledge of the current distribution, characteristics of current species populations, and status of ecology and habitat, in addition to identifying the main threats. Both species have been recorded in 20 major sites, in a very restricted area, particularly in a high mountain region (19 sites of Silene leucophylla and 3 sites of S. oreosinaica), with Extent of Occurrence about 468.2 km2 for Silene leucophylla and 24.5 km2 for S. oreosinaica. The population size was very small and fragmented and the extreme drought and overgrazing clearly affected both species. Based on the collected data, the extinction risk was calculated as Critically Endangered for S. oreosinaica and as Endangered for S. leucophylla according to IUCN Red List. For both species, appropriate habitat is concentrated in the high mountain ranges in the central north section of the SCPA, according to SDM. For Silene leucophylla, a presence probability of 20.5 km2 was anticipated, whereas for S. oreosinaica, a presence probability of 62.1 km2 had been predicted. Conservation methods are advocated both in situ (via recovery) and ex situ (by seed collecting and storage, awareness building, and grazing control).

Effect of Financial Literacy on Individual Savings Behavior; the Mediation Role of Intention to Saving
Authors: Peiris T. U. I.
Published: October 2021

This study investigated the effect of financial literacy on savings behavior, considering the mediation effect of intention to savings. A structured questionnaire was distributed among 206 employed individuals in the Colombo district, Sri Lanka. Three Stage Least Squares technique was initially used to analyze the structural equations model fitted to measure the hypothesized mediation effect. Then the result was rousted using path analysis. The findings indicated that financial literacy has a direct and positively significant influence on savings behavior. Moreover, the mediation effect of intention was also found as positively significant in the above relationship. This indicates that the knowledge of the financial system leads to good savings behavior, and especially it creates an intention to save more. Therefore, policymakers and financial institutions can consider enhancing financial literature among individuals as a worthy strategy when encouraging savings as it both encourages savings behavior and the intention to do so.

Authors: Arman Abdelfatah S.
Published: October 2021

In the present study, the author examines how perceived inclusion affects minority employees’ organizational satisfaction in higher education institutions in the United States. A quantitative exploratory approach was used for this study. The methodology involves measuring the relationship between minority status and job satisfaction for employees in higher education institutions in the U.S. if any, and the relationship between minority employees’ status and their perception of inclusion in their workgroups. Data was collected using an online panel survey of higher education employees in the United States using Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk); a crowdsourcing platform. A sample size of (N = 1,898) subjects were sought to complete the online survey. The present study’s results illustrate a new finding which was that when comparing minority groups engaged in higher education organizations with their minority peers employed at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) or other minority-serving institutions, minority individuals employed in higher education institutions felt less included and satisfied than the ones involved in HBCU or other minority catering organizations. Findings demonstrate there is a statistically significant positive correlation between inclusion and workplace satisfaction. The results also show there are differences in inclusion by demographic status, sexual orientation, disability status, religion, and type of workplace. The study’s results reveal that minority groups employed in higher education organizations have a low sense of belonging, which may result in dissatisfaction with the workplace and eventually force them to quit their jobs.

Published: October 2021

Red blood cells (RBC) alloimmunization is a delayed adverse transfusion reaction in thalassemia patients. The mechanisms behind the inhibition or tolerance of red blood cells are still poorly understood. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) molecule is expressed on Treg -lymphocyte membrane and is an inhibitory molecule which plays the mediator role of peripheral tolerance and maintains tolerance to self-antigens. Recent studies have reported that defect in the CTLA-4 gene expression could affect its function and be involved in the development of various pathologies as autoimmune diseases and the outcome after Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; indeed, the objective of our study is the search for the association of the CTLA-4 polymorphism with the susceptibility to red blood cells alloimmunizations. In this study we looked for the polymorphism of the CTLA-4 gene at the -318 C/T position in 35 β-thalassemic patients (15alloimmunized and 20 non alloimunized) followed at the children's hospital in Casablanca, and 20 healthy controls, by PCR-RFLP and Sanger sequencing. In our cohort, none of the group cases revealed the mutation carried out by PCR RFLP. Indeed, this result was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. This study does not find an association of -318C/T SNPs in CTLA-4 gene and RBC alloimmunization among our cohort. Following these preliminary results, an investigation of the other exons of the CTLA-4 gene on a large cohort is necessary to complete this study.

Published: October 2021

The Guamá River basin, in the northeastern state of Pará, eastern Amazon, Brazil, encompasses approximately 1,200,000 hectares. It presents great economic and social importance and is under significantly changes in land use and land cover. The objective of this work was to analyze and characterize the landscape structure of this basin through landscape ecology indexes (density, size, metric variability, shape, core area, proximity indexes, and patch area index). Land use and land cover maps were developed using images from the RapidEye system through supervised digital classification. The vegetation and landscape structure were quantified in patches, classes, and land cover. The forest patches were associated with partial conservation of some areas where production sectors had not yet directly affected, or those from natural regeneration of abandoned areas, mainly pastures. The class vegetated area was the second class most representative of the Guamá River basin covered about 37% considering the total area. The basin landscape presented more than 34,000 vegetated area patches It showing that this class are very fragmented by the presence of a large number of small patches, with this the basin landscape is compromised regarding its ecological integrity, since more than half of its forest patches are in edge environments. The indexes enabled a good joint analysis of the sub-basins of the Guamá River basin, resulting in a more detailed overview of the forest fragmentation process.

Published: October 2021

Currently, Beijing is facing increasing serious air quality problems. Atmospheric pollutants in Beijing are mainly composed of particulate matter, which is a key factor leading to adverse effects on human health. This paper uses hourly data from 36 environmental monitoring stations in Beijing from 2015 to 2020 to obtain the temporal and spatial distribution of the mass concentration of particulate matter with a diameter smaller than 2.5 μm (PM2.5). The 36 stations established by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Beijing Environmental Protection Monitoring Center and obtain continuous real-time monitoring of particulate matter. And the 36 stations are divided into 13 main urban environmental assessment points, 11 suburban assessment points, 1 control point, 6 district assessment points, and 5 traffic pollution monitoring points. The annual average concentration of PM2.5 in Beijing was 60 μg/m3 with a negative trend of approximately 14% year-1. In urban areas the annual average concentration of PM2.5 was 59 μg/m3, in suburbs 56 μg/m3, in traffic areas 63 μg/m3, and in district areas 62 μg/m3. From 2015 to 2020, in urban areas PM2.5 decreased by 14% year-1, in suburbs by 15% year -1, in traffic areas by 15% year-1, and in district areas by 12% year-1. The quarterly average concentrations of PM2.5 in winter andspring are higher than those in summer and autumn (64 μg/m3, 59 μg/m3, 45 μg/m3, 55 μg/m3, respectively). The influenceof meteorological factors on the daily average value of PM2.5 in each season was analysed. The daily average PM2.5 in spring, summer, autumn and winter is significantly negatively correlated with daily average wind speed, sunshine hours, and air pressure, and significantly positively correlated with daily average rainfall and relative humidity. Except for autumn, the daily average PM2.5 is positively correlated with temperature. Although Beijing’s PM2.5 has been declining since the adoption of the‘Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan’, it is still far from the first level of the new ‘Ambient Air Quality Standard’(GB309S-2012) formulated by China in 2012.

The present study was aimed to determine the potential cultivated lands for rice crop production in Vietnam. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TQPSIS) were employed in order to analyze the structure of an ideal solution in agriculture that focuses mainly on environmental, economic, and social sustainability. A final ranking of alternative development solutions was also accomplished. Three major factors were taken into consideration during the process, including the economics, social concerns, and the environment, in order to develop a sustainable plan for rice and other grain crops in the future. The obtained results demonstrate that the area under investigation in Quang Tri province, which encompasses 192.49 km2 of land area, was extremely conducive to growing rice crops, with the majority of the arable lands suitable for cultivating rice varieties concentrated in Trieu Long District (63.14 km2) and Hai Lang District (56.87 km2). The main findings of the present work indicated that, it can link decision makers with the influencing variables of rice crop growing utilizing a hybrid method that can be successfully used based on GIS technique. To expand production, chemical soil characteristics and agricultural development strategies should be investigated further, particularly in the studied areas with greater success potential.

Published: October 2021

The article aimed to form a theoretical and practical basis for pedagogical support for families raising children with early developmental disabilities. The article included methods of analysis and synthesis to form the theoretical and methodological foundations of pedagogical support for parents and children. This article provides an analysis of the stages of stress and reactions that arise in parents at the birth of a child with developmental disabilities: 1. The expectation of the child. 2. Shock. Daze. The decline of strength. 3. Denial. 4. Feelings of anger, guilt. 5. Emotional adjustment or acceptance. Finding resources in overcoming. A study of successful experience in the field of early pedagogical support shows that comprehensive support for children and their families is effective when an interdisciplinary team including doctors and specialists in psychological and pedagogical support (a teacher-defectologist, a speech therapist, a special psychologist, a social pedagogue) works. These two groups of specialists perform different labor functions and must have different competencies. Teachers and parents need to use the basics of remedial education in the educational and pedagogical processes.

Regional eco-efficiency of the agricultural sector in V4 regions, its dynamics in time and decomposition on the technological and pure technical eco-efficiency change
Authors: Richterová Eva , Richter Martin , Sojková Zlata
Published: October 2021

Research background: Agriculture plays a vital role in producing food to ensure food security, but it is one of the biggest contributors to environmental pollution. One of the main goals of the new CAP is to set higher ambitions for environmental actions, which brings into the front the concept of agricultural eco-efficiency. The notion of eco-efficiency includes the economic and also ecological dimensions of sustainable agriculture.

Purpose of the article: The main goal of this paper is to evaluate the eco-efficiency of agricultural production and its dynamics during the years 2013, 2015, and 2017 of NUTS 2 regions within the Visegrad 4  (V4), i. e. The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland. The part of the main goal is to verify the research hypothesis that all the biggest agriculture producers are eco-efficient.

Methods: V4 regional eco-efficiency of the agricultural sector is expressed by the Malmquist productivity index and is estimated using the output-oriented Data envelopment analysis (DEA) model, under the assumption of constant return to scale (CRS). The Malmquist index is decomposed to technical eco-efficiency change (EC) and technological change (TC). Based on the eco-efficiency, technological and pure technical eco-efficiency change, V4 regions are classified into three groups: the most progressive regions, the progressive regions, and the regressive regions.

Findings & value added: CZ02: Central Bohemia, CZ04: Northwest, HU33: Dél-Alföld, HU31: Észak-Magyarország, HU32: Észak-Alföld, PL21: Malopolskie, PL41: Wielkopolskie, SK01: Bratislava region, and SK02: Western Slovakia have an eco-effective agricultural sector, the remaining V4 regions have eco-ineffective agricultural sector. The research hypothesis that all the biggest agricultural producers are eco-effective is not confirmed. During the analyzed years, 19 V4 regions improve their agricultural eco-efficiency. The main contributor to eco-efficiency improvement is technological progress, which indicates that producers implement innovations that lead to more eco-efficiency agricultural production.
Comparative analysis of Poland and selected countries in terms of household financial behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Waliszewski Krzysztof , Warchlewska Anna
Published: October 2021

Research background: The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the reduction in income or the total loss of jobs have affected the financial behaviour of consumers worldwide. Managing the budget in times of turbulence and crisis has posed a challenge for households.

Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to determine to what extent the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the financial behaviour of the inhabitants of various countries and how Poland has stood out from the rest.

Methods: Due to the orderly nature of the questions analysed, non-parametric tests were used in the analysis. The distribution of current expenditure in comparison with the period before the pandemic was analysed, as well as the results of comparative analyses with Mann-Whitney U tests for comparison of  Poland with Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France (974), Germany, Italy, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the USA. A study was carried out on the relationship between planning for the future, having debts and savings and financial behaviour after the COVID-19 pandemic and the metric variables in the group of Poles via Chi square and a series of ? Kendall?s tests.

Findings & value added: There has been a fall in expenditure compared to the period before the pandemic, which may explain the lack of opportunities to spend money, the fall in revenue and the freezing of expenditure for fear of an uncertain future. There has also been a change in the way payments are made. Payment cards and purchases made over the Internet are increasingly popular. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers are trying to save more, but not everyone can afford to do so. Long-term value added of this paper is analysis of change in the model of financial behavior of households under the shock of the pandemic in international comparisons of the analysed countries.
Determinants of board diversity policy implementation by companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange
Authors: Wawryszuk-Misztal Anna
Published: October 2021

Research background: Diversity management is one of the hot topic issues present in current public discussions. Board diversity requirements are quite new for Polish public companies. The companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange have to publish a statement on the company's compliance with the corporate governance recommendations and principles included in ?Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies 2016?. This regulation is based on the 'comply or explain? principle, thus the company may decide whether to comply with every rule included in the code, but decision on not implementing one or more rules should be explained by the company. Some of the recommended rules regard the board (supervisory and management) diversity policy implementation, where diversity refers to such dimensions as gender, education, age and professional experience.

Purpose of the article: This study aims to investigate determinants of board diversity policy implementation by domestic companies listed on the WSE. It also documents explanations provided by companies that do not apply board diversity policy.

Methods: The research sample covers 268 non-financial domestic companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange between 2016 and 30 November 2018. The companies? current reports on company compliance with the corporate governance codes and information issued on companies? websites were analyzed in order to identify those that announced implementation of board diversity policy.

Authors: Santos Rhaul de Lemos , Fernandes Sueli de Fátima
Published: October 2021

Este trabalho insere-se no campo dos Estudos Surdos e das Relação-Étnicos Raciais, realizando uma discussão interseccional entre surdez e raça e tendo por objetivo analisar a ocupação de vagas por estudantes negros/as surdos/as nos cursos de graduação em instituições federais de ensino superior. O percurso metodológico de abordagem quantitativa contemplou uma análise de microdados do Censo do Ensino Superior relativos às matriculas de negros/as surdos/as em cursos de Letras Libras e em outros cursos de graduação em instituições federais de ensino superior, com recorte temporal entre 2009 e 2016. Os dados foram sistematizados através do Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. A criação do curso de graduação em Letras Libras, na modalidade a distância, em 2006, apresenta-se como principal fator da significativa ampliação no número de matrículas de estudantes surdos/as no ensino superior no período. A situação de negros/as surdos/as, contudo, não acompanha essa curva ascendente. Entre 2009 e 2013, houve um decréscimo significativo de matrículas desse grupo, apesar de os negros constituírem 50,06% da população surda. A partir daí, com a aprovação da Lei de Cotas no ensino superior em 2012, ano após ano tem-se observado um aumento significativo na ocupação de vagas pela comunidade negra surda em diferentes cursos de graduação, sinalizando a importância de ações afirmativas que contemplem a interseccionalidade entre a questão racial e a diferença linguística que singulariza as identidades de pessoas negras surdas.
