Effective management is crucial to achieve the high yield potential of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), renowned for its resilience in harsh environments, to meet the rising global demand. The present study examines how varying levels of water and nitrogen affect the agronomic and yield traits of quinoa (cv. Q-36) during the two growing seasons of 2020/2021 and 2021/2022. The experiment was a 3 × 4 factorial laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications per treatment during the two seasons of the study, as water regimes were considered the main factor, including 100%, 80%, and 60% ETc, whereas nitrogen levels were considered the sub-plot factor, comprising four levels (75, 150, 225, and 300 kgN ha−1). The analysis of variance indicated that nitrogen level, irrigation regime, and irrigation regime × nitrogen level had highly significant effects (p < 0.001) on all studied traits, including plant height, panicle length, dry weight, seed weight, seed yield, and total yield in the two growing seasons under study. For all traits of study, the combined application of 100% ETc with 300 kgN, followed by 80% ETc with 225 kgN, resulted in the highest value of plant height, panicle length, dry weight, seed weight, seed yield, and total yield, whereas the combination of 60% ETc and 75 kgN applications resulted in the lowest value for all of the aforementioned traits. Furthermore, the water regime impacted water productivity at all nitrogen levels as the highest productivity level was recorded under the 80% ETc (0.58 kg/m3), followed by the 100% ETc (0.54 kg/m3), and the 60% ETc (0.52 kg/m3). The highest water productivity rate was observed at 300 kg/ha of the nitrogen levels for 60% and 80% ETc regimes, where water productivity levels were 0.73 and 0.71 (kg/m3), respectively. The results also indicate that the water productivity of quinoa plants is noticeably affected by both water regime and nitrogen level; as the water regimes decrease from 100% to 60% ETc, water productivity increases for all nitrogen levels. The information obtained from these results can be applied to optimize the methods for cultivating quinoa under conditions of water scarcity and minimal nitrogen availability, thus gaining an insight into the impact of these conditions on quinoa growth and yield.

Graphene waste has had enormous growth due to many industrial applications. Agriculture exploits waste through the circular economy, and graphene waste is thereby investigated in this study as a soil conditioner for improving the physical–hydraulic properties of soil. Experiments were performed on three differently textured soils amended with traditional soil conditioners (compost, biochar, and zeolites) and graphene. The conditioners were applied at two different doses of 10% and 5% dry weight (d.w.) for compost, biochar, and zeolites, and 1.0% and 0.5% d.w. for graphene. We compared (i) the major porosity classes related to water-retention characteristics (drainage, storage, and residual porosity), (ii) bulk density, and (iii) van Genuchten water-retention curve (WRC) characteristics. Graphene application caused the largest decrease in dry bulk density (ρb), lowering the soil bulk density by about 25%. In fact, graphene had ρb of 0.01 g/cm3. The effects of graphene were more intense in the finer soil. Compost and biochar showed similar effects, but of lower magnitude compared to those of graphene, with ρb of 0.7 and 0.28 g/cm3, respectively. Although zeolites had ρb of 0.62 g/cm3, they showed quite different behavior in increasing the mixtures’ ρb. Graphene and biochar showed the most pronounced effects in the clayey soil, where storage porosity showed a reduction of >30% compared to the control. For storage porosity, the graphene treatments did not show statistically significant differences compared to the control. The results show that, when the conditioner increased drainage porosity, there was a high probability of a concomitant reduction in storage porosity. This finding indicates that graphene use for improving soil aeration and drainage conditions is viable, especially in fine soils.

The highly metal-contaminated Odiel-Tinto River basin, located in the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB), has been the focus of many environmental studies as a natural lab for biodiversity and environmentally catastrophic scenarios and as a reference site for mining places with similar conditions. This study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of two different technologies to recover ecosystems affected by acid mine drainage (AMD) in the area of IPB. The current study compiles results of two newest technologies for AMD remediation: passive remediation (dispersed alkaline substrate—DAS) and a new disruptive technology (Adiabatic Sonic Evaporation and Crystallization—ASE&C) that purifies the contaminated water, obtaining two by-products (high-quality water and metal conglomerates) that improve the general quality of the ecosystem including biodiversity by eliminating more than 90% of the contaminants from AMD and mining waters. The removal of contaminants, enhancement of AMD treatment efficiency, and offset operating costs were compared and analyzed for the different uses of the decontaminated effluents, including an old tailing pond failure, the Aznalcóllar mining spill. The efficiency of the removal of elements from the contaminated water is significant using both technologies, although the passive DAS does not still reach the international benchmark for some compounds (such as Fe, sulfates, and Mn); whereas ASE&C obtains distilled water fulfilling all the international benchmarks with conductivity values lower than 120 µS cm−1 or metal concentrations lower than µg/L. Both technologies are eco-friendly and cost-effective as a result of the generation of valuable by-products such as fresh water and metal conglomerates as potentially commercial products while remediating aquatic ecosystems impacted by mining activities.

The estimation of thermodynamic behavior during filling processes with entrapped air in water pipelines is a complex task as it requires solving a system of algebraic-differential equations. A lot of different numerical methods have been used for this purpose in literature including the rigid water column (RWC) model. The main advantage of the RWC model is its acceptable accuracy with very low computational load. In that context, this research presents the computation of critical points of the physical equations that describe the phenomenon. These points provide information about the final position of the air–water interface. The Newton–Raphson method was then applied to obtain a unique equation that can be used by engineers to directly compute variables such as air pocket pressure and water column length at the end of the hydraulic event. A case study was analyzed to compare the results of the mathematical model with the obtained equation for computing critical points. Both methods provided the same values for the water column length at the end of the hydraulic event. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to identify dependent and non-dependent parameters for evaluating the critical points. The proposed formulation was validated through an experimental set of data.

Exploring the determinants of residents’ willingness to pay (WTP) for water quality improvements is essential for protecting the water quality and formulating effective governance policies. This paper applies the double-bounded dichotomous contingent valuation method (CVM) to determine residents’ WTP for water quality improvements, calculate the average annual willingness of Haikou residents to pay for water quality improvements, and explore the factors influencing residents’ WTP for water quality improvements. Interpretive structural modeling (ISM) is then used to further analyze the association and hierarchy between the influencing factors. The results show that (1) Residents are willing to pay an average of 28.42 RMB/household/year for water quality improvements, and the total annual value of water quality improvements in Haikou is at least 5.58 × 108 RMB; (2) age, education level, income level, minor family member and government trust are the main factors that significantly (p < 0.05) influence urban residents’ WTP; (3) among the factors identified as significantly affecting WTP, the deeper root factors include educational attainment, age, and ultimately, the willingness of residents to participate in water quality improvements through indirect factors (government trust, income level, presence of minors). This study allows an in-depth and detailed understanding of the determinants of residents’ WTP for water quality improvements and provides a practical and relevant guide to water quality improvements in the tropics.

Pollution by heavy metals is one of the most serious issues in the world, and the principal sources are manufacturing, fertilizers, mining, pesticides, transport, and wastewater discharge. In this study, the presence of macroelements (Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P)) and heavy metals (Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd), Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb), Cooper (Cu), and Manganese (Mn)) in the green tide caused by the green seaweed Ulva lactuca from Marchica lagoon (NE-Morocco, Mediterranean) was evaluated. The mean values of P and N in the algae were 1773.33 mg·kg −1 and 44.4 g·kg −1, respectively. The heavy metals have mean values following this descending sequence: Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu > Ni > Pb > Cr > Cd. This finding has suggested that Ulva has the strongest affinity to Fe and Mn among the metals examined. Mn, Fe, and Pb recorded the highest bioconcentration factors (BCFs), which were 1687, 1656, and 1643, respectively. Regarding their contribution to the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), Fe showed a contribution of 13.58% to the RDA, while that of Mn varied between 4.42 % and 28.42%. The health risk assessment did not indicate any hazard related to the ingestion of Ulva lactuca. Therefore, this study suggests that Ulva lactuca in the Nador lagoon has the potential to bioaccumulate heavy metals and mitigate eutrophication.

Integrated clinical and biological approach to the early detection of attenuated psychotic symptoms within the frames of affective disorders makes it possible to detect the initial stage of the psychosis development and begin timely therapeutic intervention. The aim of the study was to evaluate the activity of glutamate, glutathione, and energy metabolism enzymes in the blood of patients who are at risk for the development of schizophrenia and to search for clinical and biological correlations. Clinical, psychometric (SOPS and HDRS-21), and biochemical examinations were made in 60 young men aged 16–25 years belonging to the risk group for the development of schizophrenia and in 21 young men from the comparison group without signs of risk of schizophrenia. The control group consisted of 25 healthy young men aged 19–25 years. The activities of cytochrome c oxidase, glutamate dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione-S-transferase were determined in platelets and erythrocytes. Decreased activities of platelet glutamate dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione-S-transferase were observed in all groups of examined patients compared with the control group. In erythrocytes, changed activities of glutathione reductase were observed only in the group of patients without attenuated psychotic symptoms, and glutathione-S-transferase — in the group of patients with attenuated symptoms. The revealed correlations between biochemical and clinical parameters differed in the examined groups of patients. The obtained results reflect the features of the pathogenic mechanisms in the schizophrenia risk group in terms of the activity levels of blood enzymes involved in glutamate, energy, and glutathione metabolism.

The geopolitical confrontation between Russia and the United States has always taken place, but now it has become particularly acute, given the transformation of the structure of international relations. Our country, which occupies one-eighth of the globe's landmass and has the second-strongest army in the world, is embroiled in a number of information and hybrid conflicts. The «collective West» has launched an open economic, sanction, technological, and information war against Russia. Combining the capabilities of electronic and cyber warfare, information operations and electronic intelligence, both for offensive and defensive purposes, is a new trend in the industry. It is important to emphasize that global sales of electronic warfare systems will grow by an average of 4.5 % per year by 2027 and reach $ 24 billion. It is expected that as a result of the wider use of cyber technologies, the tactics of warfare will change. Certainly, it is important to try to find a balance between security and proactive foreign policy of the state in the information space. In the new geopolitical conditions, various methods of information warfare, in particular fake news, represent a real ideological danger, and the development of social networks and the emergence of artificial technologies are increasingly reinforcing this phenomenon. The explosion of disinformation regarding the policy of the Russian state, which is flowing into the world media space thanks to Western political technologists, has begun to lead to concerns about the destabilization of democracy and ideological division in the country. However, Russia managed to resist and now needs to develop countermeasures. The influence of virtual space on the regional, national, and international political processes determines the desire of modern states to develop and use new technological resources. The analysis of political research on the problems of information and ideological confrontation led to the conclusion that the information war is aimed at destabilizing society, destroying its mental foundations and traditional guidelines. The main strategic goal of the information war is to lead society to an ideological split and cause an increase in citizens' distrust of the institutions of state power and the army. The authors of this article have identified the key mechanisms of information confrontation and ways of media provocations against Russia in the new geopolitical conditions.

The probability of occurrence of parasitic diseases of salmonid fishes in modern fish-breeding enterprises of the Leningrad region and Karelia is very significant. Wild fish, in particular whitefish, are a reservoir of invasion, intermediate and final hosts for a number of parasites that are dangerous for rainbow trout. The purpose of this work is to study the characteristics of parasitic diseases of salmonids in fishery reservoirs of the Leningrad Region and Karelia. The studies of the parasite fauna of vendace were carried out in the period from 2019 to 2020. The examination of fish for the presence of parasites and their determination was carried out according to the generally accepted standard method. Of the helminthiases found in rainbow trout during artificial cultivation in the farms of the Leningrad Region and Karelia, monogeneans and cestodes present the greatest problem, and to a lesser extent, trematodes. In the fishery reservoirs of these regions, where cage aquaculture is actively developing, whitefish live, among which the European vendace or ripus (Coregonus albula) attracts special attention. In the study of the parasite fauna of vendace, 11 species of parasites from different systematic groups were noted. At the same time, gull tapeworm Diphyllobothrium dendriticum is of veterinary and medical importance. The parasites found in vendace can potentially be dangerous for cultivated salmonids, with special attention to the monogenetic fluke Discocotyle sagittata and the cestode D. dendriticum. These representatives of the ripus parasite fauna are also dangerous for rainbow trout. The control of the epizootic state makes it possible to detect infection and carry out a set of necessary therapeutic and preventive measures. Further study of the parasite fauna of wild whitefish in the lakes of the North-West of Russia is also important for the aquaculture of the region.

At the end of 2022, the Freshwater Fisheries Branch of VNIRO (VNIIPRH), a Russian research institute in the field of freshwater aquaculture, fisheries and conservation of introductory biological resources, celebrated its 90th anniversary. The main objective of the Institute is to develop scientific support for freshwater aquaculture. The Institute of Pond Fisheries, among other branch institutes of Glavryba, was deployed on the basis of the Central Research Institute of Fisheries (TSNIIRH). The activities of VNIIPRH during this period were focused on the development of fish-breeding and technical standards necessary for the design, construction and operation of pond farms. Standard designs of hydraulic structures of fish ponds, their optimal sizes and water supply, norms of planting fish in rearing and feeding ponds were developed. In 2018, in order to fulfill the Order of Rosrybolovstvo dated August 10, 2018 No. 537 “On reorganization measures pursuant to the Order of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation dated July 23, 2018 No. 322” on January 16, 2019, FGBNU “VNIIPRH” was reorganized by joining FGBNU “VNIRO”. Modern research of VNIIPRH is devoted to various aspects of commercial aquaculture and artificial reproduction of valuable fish species, conservation of their biodiversity, assessment of the ecological situation of fishery reservoirs. Much attention is paid primarily to carp and sturgeon fish, for which methods are being developed for the formation and operation of domesticated breeding herds, ensuring the preservation of their genetic diversity and increasing the efficiency of reproduction. New methods are being developed for growing carp fish planting material (intended to increase fish production in freshwater reservoirs), as well as sturgeon fish, for which methods are being developed for the formation and operation of domesticated brood herds, increasing the efficiency of reproduction.

The paper aims to discuss how Tokopedia, Indonesia’s largest marketplace, uses call to action (CTA) promotions to influence customer purchasing behaviour, whether the CTA creates a sense of urgency. The use of questionnaires enabled the collection of estimates of small and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs) readiness for Tokopedia’s CTA. Words, pictures, and narrative analysis with the Creswell mixed method determine how words, pictures, and narrative of five samples of CTA influence customers’ purchasing behaviour. Chris Fill (2013) on media and digital marketing and Alan Bashinsky (2016) ideas on CTA are included to further discuss the issue. The ranges of the success of Tokopedia’s CTA strategy were determined, resulting in the classification of strategies into the groups of fear, inclusion, anger, love, freedom, and curiosity according to emotional appeals in the CTA. Being tempted to buy specific items and ending up with a digital cart in a marketplace may indicate the success of the CTA strategy. Using CTA phrases, Tokopedia has successfully endorsed not only branded products from official stores but also high-quality products from SMEs. In summation, customer engagement improves when the majority of CTAs on Tokopedia use visual techniques and specific promotion times. Emotional engagement with each CTA can increase its effectiveness with customers. The study impacted upon the fact that CTA powers to lead and sell accelerate digital activities to improve the economy’s productivity.

De la queste à la questalité : l’avènement d’un servage institutionnalisé en Gascogne (XIIe-XIIIe siècles)
Authors: Cursente Benoît
Published: March 2023

La questalité émerge dans la première moitié du XIIIe siècle en Gascogne comme forme de servage institutionnalisé par la convergence progressive de trois constituants : le paiement à merci d’une redevance spécifique (la queste), l’hommage, l’attache à la tenure. Dans la seconde moitié du siècle, le statut du questal achève de se rigidifier dans un contexte de multiplication de chartes de franchises locales et de réception du droit savant. Si un arrière-plan général d’archaïsme semble perceptible derrière ce processus, il existe des différences manifestes entre le cas de figure «garonnais» (Bordelais, Bazadais) et le cas de figure «pyrénéen» (Béarn, Bigorre).
