Bireysel yatırımcılar kendi adına ve hesabına yatırım işlemleri yapan kişilerdir. Bireysel yatırımcıların hisse senedi edinimini etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi ve bu faktörlerin demografik özelliklerle ilişkisini ortaya koymak amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmanın amacına yönelik olarak Giresun ilinde bireysel yatırımcılara anket uygulanmış, demografik özellikler ve bireysel yatırımcıların hisse senedi edinimine etkili olan faktörler üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek için Faktör Analizi ve Sperman Korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Demografik özelliklerin bireysel yatırımcıların hisse senedi edinim tercihlerinde etkili olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Korelasyon analizi sonucu “Hisse senedi piyasasını yakından takip etme durumu”, “Yatırımlarda hisse senedi oranı” ve “Kendi öncelikli bilgilerinize aşırı güven” faktörlerinin hisse senedi ediniminde pozitif yönlü bir ilişki olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.
JUDICIAL REVIEW: A STUDY IN REFERENCE TO CONTEMPORARY JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN INDIA
Authors: Tripathi Rahul
Published: December 2020

Judicial review is the process by which the Courts determine whether or not an administrative decision-maker has acted within the power conferred upon him or her by Parliament. That places the question of statutory construction at the heart of the enquiry. The Supreme Court enjoys a position which entrusts it with the power of reviewing the legislative enactments both of Parliament and the State Legislatures. This grants the court a powerful instrument of judicial review under the constitution. Research reveals that the Supreme Court has taken in hand the task of rewriting the Constitution, which is an important aspect in present scenario.
In pursuit of intercultural competence: Exploring self-awareness of EFL pupils in a lower-secondary school in Norway
Authors: Khanukaeva Anastasia
Published: December 2020

This paper focuses on self-awareness as an integral component of intercultural competence (IC) in the English as a foreign language (EFL) context. For the purposes of this study, an EPortfolio of Intercultural Competence (EPIC) was developed by the researcher and employed during an intervention as a series of tasks and reflection prompts through various forms of media (written texts, drawings etc.). Triangulated qualitative data (in the form of EPIC entries and focus group interviews) were gathered from 56 participants, aged 14-15. The findings indicate that supporting pupils in raising their self-awareness may lead to deeper reflection on the Self as being multiple, which in turn may lead to the recognition of “multiple selves” of others (Rivers & Houghton, 2013, p. 2). The study contributes to the pool of research studying IC and grants insights into how an eportfolio approach might be integrated into EFL secondary teaching by encouraging learners to enrich their understanding of the Self through their reflections on EPIC tasks and classroom activities.

The quality of Moringa oleifera seeds need to be ensured before sowing or using the seeds for other commercial purposes like oil extraction. In this study, an attempt was made to increase the efficiency of a specific gravity separator machine to upgrade the quality of moringa seed by suitably changing the machine settings viz., horizontal height (cm), vertical height (cm), and oscillation speed (rpm) of the deck and air blow rate (m3/hr). The optimization of moringa seed quality upgrading specific gravity machine has a horizontal height (cm), vertical height (cm), and air blow rate (m3/hr) adjustments of 0, 1.5, and 4.0 respectively at 450 rpm of deck oscillation. Under the above-optimized conditions, seed lot graded into five categories viz., A, B, C, D and E. Germination percentage of three grade viz., C, D, and E have 93.0%, 97.0%, and 96.0% respectively, which was higher than the germination percentage of ungraded bulk moringa seed lot (91.0%) used in this experiment. Seed with undesirable size and low in weight got separated as ‘A’ grade material. The optimization of moringa seed upgarding process showed the optimal processing conditions for grading the moringa seed based on physical property of the seed. The optimization of the moringa seed-grading machine would provide necessary information on combination of seed, operation and design parameters for enhancing seed quality.
The College of Agriculture, Saidapet, Madras: the First Formal Agricultural-Education Facility in India

Similar to many other firsts in India, Madras city can boast of the first formally set up agriculturaleducation facility in Saidapet (then outskirts of Madras city) surrounded by the Long Tank on the one side and the Adayar River on the other. Saidapet has been a favourite locality from the 18th century for cultivation efforts of economically important plants such as Opuntia (the source plant to raise the scale insect Dactylopius for carminic-acid dye extraction) and Saguerus rumphii, the sago palm, better known as Anderson’s Nopalry. This was followed by the Lushington Gardens and Lobo’s Gardens in later decades. Through the persistent efforts of William Robertson and Charles Benson (graduates of the Royal Agricultural College of Cirencester, U.K.), an Experimental Farm was established first in Saidapet in 1865, which included a high-school level agricultureteaching facility. In 1876, it grew into a full-fledged Agricultural College, servicing the needs of trained agricultural personnel for the Madras Presidency until 1890. From 1890, importance of this College began to diminish gradually, mainly, because of the ad-hoc policies of the Government of Madras: for example, the 300 acre block allotted to the Experimental Farm in the 1860s was down to 20 acres in 1879. This reduction hampered experimental learning, an aspect which was valued as a prime driver of this institution by its earliest teachers Robertson and Benson. Like every other institution of the British days, apathy and disregard led this institution to degenerate, although until 1906 this College survived as an institution offering the Diploma in Agriculture, after a 3-year study involving a few agricultural subjects and some non- gricultural subjects as commented on by John Augustus Voelcker, who came on an inspection visit to Saidapet Agricultural College in 1889 as part of the agricultural reform efforts of Government of India. In 1906 the college was shifted to Coimbatore by the Government of Madras, where it metamorphosed into the Agricultural College and Research Institute, which was affiliated to the University of Madras in later years. It was upgraded and renamed as the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University in 1971.
O Catolicismo
Authors: Oliveira Pedro A. Ribeiro de
Published: December 2020

Visto sob o prisma sociológico, o catolicismo é plural por natureza. No Brasil atual podem ser percebidas quatro formas: duas anteriores ao Concílio Vaticano II (o catolicismo "de salvação individual ” e o catolicismo "popular”) e duas em diálogo com o mundo (o catolicismo "da Libertação” e a "Renovação Carismática”). Nestas últimas reside a vitalidade da Igreja brasileira. Usando categorias sociológicas inspiradas em M. Weber, o artigo enfatiza o caráter messiânico da primeira, em oposição ao subjetivismo da segunda, mais próxima a uma religião de "Nova Era”. Conclui sugerindo ser esta uma contradição dialética, cuja raiz está nas estruturas da vida material, hoje regidas pelo mercado.

Beyond Rural Contexts: Community-Based Tourism for A Better Life in The City
Authors: MTAPURI Oliver , GİAMPİCCOLİ Andrea
Published: December 2020

Community-based tourism (CBT) is most commonly practiced in rural contexts. We focus on CBT in urban areas and argue that it can be practised in poor urban settings such as slums, favelas and townships. In terms of methodology, this paper is conceptual in nature and its aim is to unpack the framing of CBT in urban settings. Literature on CBT in urban contexts is scarce and negligible. CBT which favours disadvantaged contexts has the potential to improve the quality of life of people and enhance community development. Inequality in urban contexts is growing both between and within countries in both developing and developed economies. Against this backdrop, we explore CBT in urban areas (with a nomenclature community-based urban tourism – CBUT), and is specifically meant for poor, disadvantaged, marginalised urban contexts. We suggest that in CBUT, matters of ‘proximity’; infrastructure; and geography are important enablers of tourism development. We argue that universities have an important role to play through skills development for CBUT. Given the scarcity of literature on CBT in urban areas, we contribute to the notion of community in a CBUT context and to the success factors of a CBUT venture.
A Comparative Study of English and Chinese Film Title Translation——from the Perspective of "Four Values"
Authors: Chen Jialiang
Published: December 2020

With the deepening of cultural exchanges between China and western countries, interaction and dissemination of film works have become a common trend. A film title is the "eye" of a film; therefore, concerning the differences between English and Chinese languages, film title translation should not only convey necessary information about the films to the corresponding audience in the target language, but also arouse the interest of the audience to achieve a satisfactory box office. Based on the theories of functional equivalence and communicative translation, and especially the evaluation standard of film title translation—the realization of "four values", the thesis makes a comparative analysis of English and Chinese in film title translation and evaluates it with evidence from the successful experience of C-E (Chinese to English) and E-C (English to Chinese) film title translation from 2016 to 2019 in order to provide references for C-E film title translation under three translating techniques, thus promoting the value of title translation and the entrance of Chinese films to international markets.

The incidence of burns, their treatment and rehabilitation have considerably marked effect on children both physically and psychologically. The hospital stay and the outcome also important in the cases of burns patients because the socio economic status and chances of life long disability. Aim of the study is to analyze the duration of stay and outcome in different types of burn cases in paediatric age group. The Data was collected from 83 paediatric patients less than 15 years admitted in GMC, Miraj, Maharashtra during the period from September 2014 to September 2016. The overall length of stay at hospital, factors influencing length of stay and outcome of patients were analyzed. Out of 83 patients 50 percent was cured over the period of time. The death rate was 10.8%.Lower the percentage of burns had good outcome and higher percentage of burns had poor outcome (66.7% had mortality when burns was >60%). In the study 30% patients were cured with duration of stay 6 to 10 days. Out of subjects who died 44.4% stayed for less than 5 days in hospital, as they were having more % of burn area. Also 72.7% patients who improved was stayed < 5 days. Subjects cured in scald and flame burn were 60.66% and 59.1% respectively with no significant difference, while subjects died in scald and flame burn 6.56% and 22.72% respectively more in flame burn. In our study 8.4% of subjects underwent Escharotomy. It is concluded that surgical intervention increases the hospital stay and outcome of the mean duration of stay was high among subjects who deteriorated, followed by cured subjects. Lowest duration of hospital stay was observed among improved subjects, as they were having lower percent total body surface area (TBSA) burn. More hospital stay increase the chance of infections and vice versa.

Original methods for determining the effective electrophysical parameters of two-dimensional metallic photonic crystals, applicable in a wide frequency range from radio to visible ranges are researched. In contrast to the currently widespread analytical approaches to describing such parameters, the subject of this article is the methods that can be used both for the rigorous numerical analysis and for the direct practical application. It is shown that in the radio and infrared ranges in the first allowed zone of photonic crystals the determination of their effective dielectric constant can be carried out either on the basis of studying the intrinsic resonance properties of spatially limited structures or by studying the processes of reflection and refraction at their boundaries. In the visible range metallic photonic crystals exhibit properties that are largely similar to those of solid metals. However, photonic crystals have significantly lower heat losses and a positive effective dielectric constant <1. ​​This makes them promising for creating various devices for converting optical radiation. Determination of the effective electrophysical parameters at these frequencies is possible on the basis of a direct comparison of the amplitude-phase distributions of the field in photonic crystals and continuous media.

Exploring business models of nonprofit organizations
Authors: Perić Julia , Delić Anamarija , Stanić Marina
Published: December 2020

Business models are usually used to describe how business entities sustain their competitive advantage, offer their customers better value and create good cooperation with their partners. While the literature is rich with best practice examples among for-profit business entities, nonprofit organizations (NPOs) are rarely observed and compared through the business model concept. Nonprofit organizations are mostly viewed as mission-driven organizations, which is why the business side is often rather neglected. The success of nonprofit organizations is usually measured by their impact in the community, which makes their activities dynamic and very much dependable on their business ecosystem. The goal of this paper is to identify specific characteristics of business models in the nonprofit sector, to evaluate how well nonprofit organizations communicate their value proposition to their customers, what distinguishes them from other nonprofits and what they are doing to develop a successful and sustainable organization. The empirical study covers 10 Croatian nonprofit organizations. The business model canvas is used to describe and compare their business models. The findings represent a good basis for understanding the performance of nonprofit organizations, and can serve as a framework for specific policies and programs aimed at development of nonprofit organizations.

Presentamos aquí el primer número de la Revista del Museo de Antropología. El Museo de Antropología, al igual que otros espacios universitarios y de la antropología nacional, tiene una historia ligada a la del país. Los sucesivos y abruptos cambios en la política nacional se reflejaron en las políticas universitarias produciendo altibajos que afectaron el desarrollo institucional. Fue creado como parte del Instituto de Arqueología, Lingüística y Folklore en 1941, bajo la dirección y orientación teórica de Antonio Serrano, y dio un giro importante al arribar a la dirección Alberto Rex González en 1956, quien redefiniría al antiguo instituto como Instituto de Antropología desde un nuevo enfoque disciplinar y una práctica innovadora para todo el campo antropológico. La gestión de Antonio Serrano crearía la revista Publicaciones, que sería reemplazada a partir de 1960 por la Revista del Instituto de Antropología, ambas de alcance nacional e internacional. Quienes sucedieron a Rex González darían continuidad a la Revista pero finalmente sería reemplazada por una nueva serie de Publicaciones.
Estudio de caso: conservación y análisis osteobiográfico del material óseo proveniente del sitio Hornos de Cal, costa de Taltal, norte de Chile
Authors: Araneda Monserrat , Andrade Pedro
Published: December 2020

El sitio Hornos de Cal corresponde a un conchero ubicado en la costa desértica de Antofagasta, a 16 km al sur de Taltal. Se trata de un contexto funerario conformado por el entierro de un individuo adulto sin ofrendas asociadas, datado en el 6180±25 cal AP. El presente trabajo posee un enfoque osteobiográfico, donde a partir de estimaciones y determinaciones de sexo, la edad, y la estatura del individuo, como también patologías óseas, intentamos relacionar estos marcadores con su contexto temporal y cultural. Dada la presencia de rasgos particulares de este individuo que lo diferencian de su contexto poblacional, reflexionamos sobre la necesidad de considerar estos casos dentro de las reconstrucciones bioarqueológicas, ya que ayudan a comprender situaciones que dentro de un enfoque poblacional pueden pasar desapercibidas.
La alimentación prehispánica en las tierras bajas de Tucumán (Argentina): una primera aproximación a su análisis
Authors: Caria Mario , Gómez Augier Julián , Miguez Gabriel E.
Published: December 2020

Este trabajo presenta una caracterización de los recursos alimenticios, al mismo tiempo que aborda la problemática de la alimentación prehispánica de las tierras bajas de la Provincia de Tucumán, Argentina. En base a los trabajos de diferentes investigadores en esta zona, se analizan las evidencias y contextos arqueológicos de hallazgos de alimentos, a la vez que se discuten algunos aspectos vinculados a los modos de obtención, producción y circulación de los mismos en el ámbito regional. Se observa que existió un aprovechamiento muy diverso de recursos, tanto silvestres como domesticados, durante el 1° y 2° milenio d.C. Esto permite distinguir, en una primera aproximación, entre aquellos alimentos obtenidos mediante caza, recolección y pesca, de aquellos producidos mediante el cultivo de plantas o la cría de animales. La preparación de comidas, en base a todos estos recursos, implica que los grupos del área debieron practicar mecanismos de control de los mismos mediante la horticultura, la caza y cría de animales, mayoritariamente locales, en complementación con los recursos obtenidos mediante redes de intercambio, reciprocidad y/o explotación directa de diferentes pisos ecológicos.

Vertisoles y cerámica indígena: un estudio de procedencia basado en DRX, sitio Guayacas (Paysandú, Uruguay)
Authors: Capdepont Irina , Piñeiro Gustavo
Published: December 2020

El registro arqueológico más abundante de la región litoral del Uruguay para el Holoceno medio y tardío se encuentra conformado por material cerámico. La información existente sobre el mismo proviene comúnmente de estudios macroscópicos en los que se aborda la reconstrucción de formas, tecnología y estilos decorativos. En este trabajo se exponen los resultados obtenidos mediante la aplicación de DRX sobre cerámicas de conjuntos arqueológicos del sitio Guayacas (Departamento de Paysandú). En este estudio se busca complementar el conocimiento de la primera etapa del proceso de manufactura: la selección de materia prima. Para ello, también se realizan estudios de DRX sobre sedimentos y afloramientos de la zona, así como sobre sedimentos de la excavación arqueológica. Entre los resultados obtenidos se destaca la homogeneidad entre las pastas y la ausencia de minerales de tipo illita; los suelos antropogénicos presentan esmectita, cuarzo, illita e interestratificados y los suelos naturales y afloramientos están dominados por arcillas esmectiticas más cuarzo, proponiéndose a uno de ellos como fuente potencial de abastecimiento de materia prima local. Los datos obtenidos aportan nueva información al conocimiento del área de ocupación sobre el río Daymán durante el Holoceno tardío.

Published: December 2020

En este trabajo presentamos un análisis exhaustivo de las arqueofaunas recuperadas en el sitio Soria 2 (sudeste del valle de Yocavil o Santa María, provincia de Catamarca), durante los trabajos de campo realizados entre los años 2002 y 2006. El sitio es una estructura formada por al menos dos recintos y fue identificado como un espacio doméstico. Los conjuntos estudiados provienen de un depósito arqueológico con abundante contenido cultural y datado en 1940 años ARCP, lo que ubica a este contexto en los inicios del Período Formativo del valle. Los principales recursos animales fueron los camélidos silvestres (Lama guanicoe y Vicugna vicugna) y domésticos (Lama glama), con un predominio marcado de ejemplares subadultos de acuerdo a las estimaciones de número mínimo de individuos (MNI). Los resultados presentados contribuirán a comprender la diversidad y evolución en la explotación de recursos faunísticos durante los primeros siglos de la economía agropastoril en el área.

Published: December 2020

San Ignacio, en el Valle de Potrerillos, fue habitado durante los siglos III-VIII D.C. por grupos humanos que construyeron hornillos y ocuparon casas semi-subterráneas. Constituye uno de los escasos registros sistemáticos de contextos domésticos para el valle. Se presenta y caracteriza el sitio mediante el análisis osteométrico de camélidos, la organización de la tecnología lítica y el análisis tipológico y morfo-funcional cerámico. Las diversas actividades domésticas desarrolladas combinaron la explotación de camélidos silvestres y domésticos, además de cultígenos. Los rasgos arquitectónicos y los patrones materiales del interior de la unidad habitacional, se relacionan con una ocupación anticipada de tipo permanente. La cerámica analizada fue asignada al estilo Agrelo-Calingasta del período Agro-alfarero Temprano-Medio de la arqueología regional. El asentamiento podría insertarse en un circuito de movilidad para el aprovechamiento de diversos recursos en ambientes de altura. Además se sugiere la participación en redes de intercambio, evidenciada por la presencia de cerámica similar a la de los complejos culturales que se desarrollaron en la vertiente occidental de Los Andes y por la identificación de un morfotipo de camélido especialmente grande, propicio para la realización de caravanas.
Un análisis sobre la eficacia de la construcción jurídica de inimputabilidad en la matanza de Lonco Luán. El poder de perdonar
Authors: Lombraña Andrea Natalia
Published: December 2020

El Código Penal argentino considera la prohibición normativa del uso de la violencia privada, aunque simultáneamente ofrece cierta disminución de la reprochabilidad (en términos de responsabilidad penal) a través de la atenuación de penas o inclusive la declaración de inimputabilidad, si su uso viene acompañado de cierto componente emocional intenso. El presente artículo propone analizar y evaluar dichas consideraciones como formas institucionalizadas y codificadas de “perdón”. Con base en una lectura crítica del expediente del caso La Matanza de Lonco Luán - y prestando especial atención a las declaraciones de los imputados, las pericias técnicas, los alegatos de las partes y la sentencia del magistrado - se sostiene que estas formas de perdón son resultado de transcursos históricos determinados y que constituyen dispositivos altamente eficaces en el establecimiento de jerarquías sociales y en el proceso de mantenimiento del orden. La perspectiva metodológica adoptada supone el desarrollo de una lectura antropológica de la causa judicial, analizándola principalmente como ámbito de producción de sentido; que, como tal, expresa los juegos de circulación y disputa de bienes simbólicos, y refuerza a la vez la estructura de posiciones sociales.

Authors: Scabuzzo Clara
Published: December 2020

En este trabajo se resumen los estudios bioarqueológicos realizados en la colección osteológica del sitio Paso Mayor Y1S2 (partido de Coronel Pringles, Buenos Aires). Los análisis efectuados comprendieron diferentes etapas. En primer lugar se hizo un inventario de la colección y se relevaron algunas variables tafonómicas para conocer el estado general de conservación de los restos. Una segunda etapa estuvo orientada a determinar la estructura sexo-etaria de la muestra. Finalmente se efectuaron estudios de marcadores de estrés ocupacional y el relevamiento de algunas patologías de carácter infeccioso y traumático. En conjunto estos análisis muestran que en el sitio se inhumaron individuos subadultos y adultos de ambos sexos, los restos fueron enterrados de manera primaria y secundaria. La colección muestra un buen estado de conservación por lo que fue posible determinar la mayoría de los elementos óseos analizados. En cuanto a los estudios de marcadores de actividad física, estos indican la importancia de la actividad deambulatoria y el posible uso de sistemas de armas como el arco y flecha. Se registró una reacción perióstica en los miembros inferiores y un traumatismo en el esqueleto craneal. Finalmente se discute la información bioarqueológica del sitio con la publicada para otros sitios del área.

Forced Outage Analysis of Brazilian Thermal Power Plants using the Kruskal-Wallis Test
Authors: Santos e Santos Leonardo dos
Published: December 2020

In this paper, the forced outage data from the Brazilian National Interconnected System (SIN) is provided and the statistics from the thermal power plants are computed. The SIN is characterized by a marked seasonality in electricity supply. In addition, the expansion pattern of the Brazilian electric sector shows signs of exhaustion, and the demand for flexible thermal power plants, based on availability, requires outage management as a reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) strategy. In this work, the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn’s pairwise-comparisons were chosen for evaluating the mean forced outage duration (MFOD) and the forced outage factor (FOF) using the data from the national electricity system operator (ONS) with R Software. The distribution fitting was provided using Weibull++ software from Reliasoft. Based on the MFOD and unit failure rate data, the FOF for Brazilian thermal power plants is 3.33% with a 90% probability and 95% confidence level. Finally, Brazilian thermal power plants were benchmarked against North American power plants.
A Bayesian approach to reveal the key role of mask wearing in modulating interpersonal distance during the COVID-19 outbreak

Creating and maintaining bonds in humans typically comes with interactions occurring at close social distances which are usually shorter than the one (of at least 1.5 meters) recommended as a relevant measure of COVID-19 contagion containment. In a web-based experimental study conducted during the first pandemic wave (mid-April 2020), we asked 242 participants to regulate their preferred distance towards confederates who did or did not wear protective mask/gloves and who could have tested positive or negative to COVID-19 or whose test results are unknown. Information concerning the dispositional factors (perceived vulnerability to disease, moral attitudes and prosocial tendencies) and situational factors (perceived severity of the situation in the country, frequency of physical and virtual social contacts and attitudes toward quarantine) that may modulate compliance with safety prescriptions was also acquired. A bayesian analysis approach was adopted. Individual differences did not modulate the interpersonal distance. We found strong evidence in favor of a reduction of interpersonal distance towards characters wearing protective equipment and who tested negative to Covid-19. Importantly, shorter interpersonal distances were kept towards confederates wearing protections, even when their test result was unknown or turned out positive to Covid-19. The protective equipment-related regulation of interpersonal distance may reflect an underestimation of the perceived vulnerability to the infection, which has to be discouraged when pursuing individual and collective safety.
Variability of agrophysical properties of hillslope soils in the Cis-Salair region (West Siberia)
Authors: Shaporina Nina A. , Sayb Ekaterina A.
Published: December 2020

The aim of the study. The aim of the study was to estimate heterogeneity of moisture-related soil physical properties in a sequence of degraded hillslope soils in the cis-Salair region. The main tasks were to examine spatial fluctuations and changes in morphological and agrophysical properties of soils, differing in erosion degree, and assess their variability.

Location and time of the study. The study was conducted in the forest-steppe zone in the Bugotak Hills (Novosibirsk region, Russia). A sequence of arable soils located along the 411 m convex hillslope with south-eastern exposition was investigated since July 01 till August 15, 2016.

Main results. The article describes the variation of soil density, moisture content and temperature in a sequence of hillslope soils. The variation in the ploughed layer was found to be quite high, depending on the sampling scale. Examination of the spatial variability of the soil hydrophysical properties showed that the non-eroded podzolised chernozem (Luvic Greyzemic Chernozem) and toeslope meadow soil (Gleyic Greyzemic Phaeozem, Colluvic)had the highest density. The lower temperatures were recorded in the slightly eroded dark-gray forest soil (Luvic Greyzemic Phaeozem) and in the toeslope meadow soil, accumulating soil material eroded from the topslope. The temperature difference range between the “cold” and “warm” soils was 1.8 °С.

Conclusions. Such studies have important prospects in development and introduction of agricultural technologies that are landscape-adapted, especially in areas with diverse relief and eroded soils. The main focus of such research should be the anti-erosion landscaping. The problem needs to be further studied within the framework of targeting the anti-erosion measures to geographic regions and natural zones.
COVID-19 Pandemic in Nepal: A Threat to Low Resources Countries

Published: December 2020

At present, the global community is experiencing a pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that caused coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the third disease from a coronavirus to cause a global outbreak. Person-to-person transmission occurs through droplet or contact transmission and if there is a lack of rigorous infection control or if no proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is available, it may endanger the first-line healthcare workers. In Nepal most of the cases are those who traveled to China and India till date, the infection is transmitted to clusters of societies only. Health workers as well as the general public has to be protected from getting infection applying established and universal infection prevention strategies including social distancing, hand hygiene and application of personal protective devices as required. Person-to-person contact is one of the most predominant ways of transmission of the disease, hence general public as well as all the professional workers have to follow the infection prevention approaches.
Reclaiming Radicalism: Discursive Wars and the Left
Authors: Charalambous Giorgos
Published: December 2020

The aim of this article is to identify and discuss a number of labels that have been increasingly used to describe, categorise and study the contemporary radical left – the movements and parties of the socialist tradition and its contemporary derivatives – pointing to the deeply political implications of these trends. More specifically, ‘extremism’, ‘populism’ and ‘nationalism’ as signifiers of what left radicalism looks like are scrutinised in terms of both the political logic and the historical background behind their use, and the challenges they raise for emancipatory, progressive politics. A plea for recasting contemporary social and political struggles for equality and rights is subsequently articulated, the central conviction advanced being terminological: the left’s struggles today must rise above the verbal smoke of the predominant discourse about this political space. It is a key task to appropriately qualify those terms that taint contemporary radicals with colours which do not represent them or fall far short from defining them. Put simply, if the radical left is to succeed electorally and channel its vision into society effectively it needs to reclaim its chief identity trait in the public sphere: left radicalism itself. Reclaiming radicalism entails a number of strategic tasks. These are laid out in terms of imperative discursive articulations, which are, however, paralleled by particular political actions on the ground that can either confirm or undermine any terminological claims.
How to Confirm and Document Adequate Lumbar Spine Discectomy Intraoperatively?

Published: December 2020

Lumbar discectomy is a common procedure for acute disc prolapse, especially in patients with neurological deficit [1]. The literature describes using fluoroscopy intraoperatively to avoid wrong level and side [2]. However, there is no method to confirm/document adequate discectomy apart from a postoperative MRI. The authors' technique involves taking clinical photos of the removed disc material. This technique provides accurate, low-cost documentation, and the patient can review it post-operatively. This could be of significant value in large disc prolapse and cauda equina syndrome surgery.
The concept of "category of land" in the concent of modern legal understanding
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Volodymyr Yermolenko
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the insufficiently studied in the theory of land law the issue of land division into categories, in particular the disclosure of the content of the concept of land category and its qualifications, which underlie such division, and which distinguish categories from each other. There is disagreement with the inconsistent and insufficiently substantiated proposals of some scientists to abandon the categories of land as a post-Soviet remnant of the application of the principle of land use for its intended purpose. It is stated that the refusal to divide land into categories at the current stage of development of land relations will require the simultaneous replacement of all land legislation. It is noted that the concept of "category" in various guises is used in more than four hundred laws of Ukraine. Lexical and legal interpretation of the concept of «category» made it possible to bring its features with their further differentiation into general and special. On the basis of a special feature of land properties (natural and social), a conclusion was made about the inconsistency of the category of lands of industry, transport, communications, energy and defence enshrined in the Land Code of Ukraine with the concept of land category. Keywords: category of lands, division of lands into categories, purpose of lands, signs of the category of lands, land legislation
