Published: December 2020

The study of the subjective signs of athletes in the training process has the same importance as the study of objective characteristics, which helps to identify overstrain states of systems and their underrecovery. The purpose of the study was to determine the connections of clinically significant subjective signs of athletes with other subjective signs of the body state of highly qualified athletes in the pre-competition period. Material and methods. 202 highly qualified male athletes aged 22.6 ± 2.8 years were examined. They were representatives of acyclic sports. Their sport experience was 10.3±3.1 years. The questionnaire together with other research methods were conducted in the morning on an empty stomach in the pre-competition period. Results and discussion. According to the questionnaire signs we identified some things might be clinically significant, namely: unpleasant sensations in the heart, feeling of interruption in the heart work, sweating at rest, headache after sleep, sweating at low loads, the feeling of fatigue after sleep, sweating at the sleep. Unpleasant sensations in the heart and feeling of interruption in the heart work were the most critical from the perspective of overload or underrecovery of cardiovascular system. This was confirmed by their connections with their weekly duration (r = 0.230, р = 0.021 and r = 0.343, р = 0.000, accordingly) and duration of trainings (r = 0.202, р = 0.042 and r = 0.361, р = 0.000, accordingly). There were no other subjective signs with such connections. Noteworthy was the inverse relationship between sweating at low load and the age of athletes (r = -0.249, р = 0.012) and their training experience (r = -0.275, р = 0.005), which is quite understandable from the perspective of formation of adaptation mechanism with increasing training experience. Sweating at low loads is associated with a feeling of heaviness in working muscles (r = 0.230, р = 0.020), and a feeling of fatigue after sleep with feelings of fatigue at rest the day after training (r = 0.250, р = 0.012), feeling of heaviness during training (r = 0.210, p = 0.035) and a headache after training (r = 0.221, p = 0.026). These clinically significant subjective signs had a number of specific links that could be essential for assessing functional and non-functional overstrain in the athlete’s body. Conclusion. In general, the analysis of associations of clinically significant subjective signs of athletes allowed to determine the most important ones for assessing the condition of athletes. The analysis of other subjective signs should be conducted taking into account the data of objective instrumental research

Araştırma 2014-2015 ve 2015-2016 yetişme sezonunda Kırşehir Ahi Evran Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi deneme tarlalarında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Denemede 8 kışlık kolza çeşitleri (Atenzo, Champlain, Elvis, EsMercure, Excalibur, PR46W10, PR46W31, Recordie) kullanılmış ve araştırma tesadüf blokları deneme desenine göre 3 tekerürlü olarak kurulmuştur.
Araştırmada bitki boyu, yan dal sayısı, kapsül sayısı, kapsülde tane sayısı, bin dane ağırlığı, tohum verimi, ham yağ oranı ve ham yağ verimi parametreleri incelenmiştir. Araştırmada incelenen özelikler bakımından çeşitler arasında farklılıklar gözlenmiş ve bu farklılıklarda istatistiksel anlamda önemli çıkmıştır. Araştırmada 2015-2016 tarım sezonunda sonbahar yağışlarında yetersizlik nedeniyle bitkilerin gelişimlerinin zayıf oluğu, bununla birlikte aynı yıl ilkbahar döneminde gündüz sıcaklık artışına rağmen, gece ani düşük sıcaklıklar çeşitleri önemli ölçüde etkilemiştir. Bu olumsuz etki nedeniyle tohum ve ham yağ verimi 2014-2015 tarım sezonuna göre yaklaşık %50 düzeyinde bir azalma göstermiştir. Sonbahar yağışlarının sadece çıkış için değil aynı zamanda kış öncesi güçlü bitki rozeti oluşturması içinde yeterli düzeyde olmalıdır. Bitki boyu, yan dal sayısı ve ham yağ oranı yönünden Recordie çeşidi, kapsül ve dane sayısı yönünden ise PR46W31 çeşidi diğer çeşitlere göre daha yüksek değerlere ulaşmıştır. En yüksek verim denmenin ilk yılında PR46W10 (2939.17 kg ha-1) ve PR46W31 (2843.23 kg ha-1) çeşitlerinden elde edilirken ikinci yılında ise en yüksek tohum verimi EsMercure (1795.37 kg ha-1) çeşidinden elde edilmiştir. Her iki yıl ayrı ayrı değerlendirildiğinde tohum ve ham yağ verimi yönünden EsMercure, Atenzo, PR46W10 ve Recordie çeşitleri benzer koşullar için önerilmektedir

Tomato Leafminer [Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)] is a pest of great economic importance in tomato production. The aim of this research was to evaluate the population development and the infestation rate of Tomato Leafminer in the tomato and eggplant greenhouses in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The study was conducted for the first time in the greenhouses located in Absheron economic region of Azerbaijan during 2019. Adult population dynamics of T. absoluta were monitored using sexual pheromone traps. According to the results obtained from the study, the pest formed the peaks of adult population on March 12th, March 26th and April 9th with 197, 91 and 76 adults/trap respectively. The pest population with respect to the eggplant greenhouse was lower compared with the tomato greenhouse. The results showed that T. absoluta was able to complete 2-3 generations in tomato and eggplant greenhouses during March and April in Absheron region of Azerbaijan. The infestation rate of T. absoluta in tomato greenhouse interpreted increasing trend staring from the beginning of March till April 12th. Thus so, the infestation rate caused by the pest was 30% at the beginning of March and reached 66.7% in the middle of the March. It reached its maximal level (100%) on April 12th. Interestingly, T. absoluta reached its significant infestation rate (96.7%) in eggplant in late April. The harmful effects of the pest recorded in the greenhouses was also described in this report. Consequently, this study reveals that T. absoluta population development should be monitored in greenhouses in Azerbaijan and control measures should be taken against the pest with appropriate management programs.

Published: December 2020

Türkiye’de zeytin veriminin dünya ortalamalarının altında olmasının sebeplerinden biri de gübre uygulamalarının doğru bir şekilde yapılmamasıdır. Zeytin verimini arttırmak, kaliteyi yükseltmek, periyodisiteyi azaltmak, ülke çiftçisi ve ekonomisine katkıda bulunabilmek için toprak ve yaprak analizlerine dayalı olarak doğru bir gübreleme yapılması gerekmektedir. Son yıllarda yaygın bir şekilde kullanılan fertigasyon sisteminden uygulanacak gübrelerin verilme zamanlarının belirlenmesinde meyvedeki besin elementi hareketleri önem kazanmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, verim çağındaki ayvalık zeytin çeşidi meyvelerinin farklı gelişme dönemlerindeki N, P, K, Ca, Mg değişimi ve 100 kg ürün ile kalkan N, P2O5, K2O, CaO ve MgO miktarları belirlenmiştir. Çalışma Zeytincilik Araştırma Enstitüsü bahçesinde bulunan 32 yaşındaki Ayvalık zeytin çeşidinde yapılmıştır. Tam çiçeklenmeden sonra (Haziran-Kasım) hasada kadar 6 dönemde alınan meyve örneklerinin bitki besin maddesi içeriklerinin değişimi belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma ile zeytin meyvenin büyümesi ile birlikte dönemlere göre N ve K’un çok değişken bir durum gösterdiği P, Ca ve Mg içeriklerinin ise daha stabil olduğu gözlenmiştir. Bu da zeytin ağacının beslenmesinde ürün ile kaldırılan besin maddeleri içerisinde en çok K’un olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışma sonucunda toprak ve yaprak analiz sonuçlarına göre fertigasyon programları hazırlanırken, meyvenin gelişme dönemlerine göre ihtiyacı olan bitki besin elementlerinin uygun dönem ve miktarlarda kullanılmasına katkı sağlayacaktır.

Pemberdayaan berkaitan erat dengan partisipai masyarakat. Tingkatan partisipasi (Cohen & Uphoff 1979) dimulai dari tahapan perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pemanfaatan hasil lalu evaluasi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan antara tingkat partisipasi pada program bank sampah dengan perubahan perilaku pengelolaan sampah program Bank Sampah Dandelion. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kombinasi dengan metode studi kasus dan metode survei untuk menghasilkan data kuantitatif dan kualitatif, dengan data kuantitatif diperoleh melalui kuisioner sedangkan data kualitatif diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hubungan antara partisipasi keanggotaan bank sampah terhadap perubahan perilaku pengelolaan sampah lemah. Hal tersebut dikarenakan rendahnya partisipasi nasabah dalam menjalani bank sampah karena minimnya fasilitator dalam membimbing nasabah bank sampah. Partisipasi yang rendah menyebabkan sulitnya terjadi perubahan dalam perilaku mengelola sampah.

Socio-Cultural Heritage For Tourism At Cirebon Palaces Indonesia
Authors: Agustina Ina Helena
Published: December 2020

In Cirebon there are three palaces, namely Keraton Kasepuhan, Keraton Kanoman and Keraton Kacirebon. Until now, the three palaces still show their existence through tourist attractions, especially pilgrimage tours. Pilgrimages to the tomb of Sunan Gunung Jati, as one of the walisongo (propagators of Islam in Java) and also the ancestors of the three palaces, still attract visitors to visit the palace.  The research method used the Husserl Phenomenology method. Phenomenology is a way of thinking or "the style of thinking" with objects that are symptomatic in the form of facts or symptoms, circumstances, events, objects or reality. Construction through physical space, socio-cultural and economic attractiveness. The result is a tourist attraction with a unique local value in the form of "blessings". The value of the uniqueness of a tourist attraction is definitely different for other royal tourist objects, but these local values must be determined as an intangible heritage element of tourist attraction. These results can serve as recommendations for the conservation of the palaces in Cirebon

Published: December 2020

Geometry is an essential subject for students. However, geometry, especially the cone, remains a challenging material for students. Besides, we need the proper media and context for learning mathematics on cone material. This research aims to develop a learning trajectory that utilizes the Megono Gunungan tradition as a context in the learning process using the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) approach. The research method used is Design Research, which consists of three phases of the study: preliminary design, experimental design, and retrospective study. This study's outcome is designing a learning trajectory on cone material using the Megono Gunungan tradition. This learning trajectory comprises four activities, including observing the interactive video of the Megono Gunungan tradition to discover cone elements, finding the concept surface area of a cone using origami paper, and grasping the cone concept volume with magic seeds, and solving contextual problems related to the cone. Studies have shown that using the Megono Gunungan context could help students improve their understanding of the cone concept. Furthermore, this study hoped could be an inspiration for exploring another local wisdom that can be a context in learning mathematics.

Published: December 2020

The main objective of the study is to empirically examine the relationship between domestic terrorism, investment and economic growth. The study finds the implication of domestic terrorism on investment and growth among 26 Muslim and 14 Christian developing countries. Data regarding the incidence of terrorism are obtained from Global Terrorism Database (2015). While, economic data are obtained from World Development Indicators (WDI, 2015). The data on external and internal conflict have been extracted from Global Conflict Risk Index (GCRI, 2015) for the time period 1990-2015. Ordinary least square (OLS), feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) and system generalized method of moment (SGMM) approaches were applied to ensure robust results with different specification of models by using dummy variable. The value of Dummy variable is 1, if country is Muslim otherwise 0. For all specifications, it is confirmed that increase in domestic terrorism will decrease the level of investment directly, but the percentage decrease in investment due to terrorism is high among Muslim as compared to Christian developing economies. The results indicate the public policy efforts to mitigate the loss of private investment which can be done initially by public investments to ensure public safety. Keywords: OLS, FGLS, SGMM, Domestic Terrorism, Muslim and Christian Developing Countries.
First report of a perforated abomasal ulcer in a beef heifer calf in Argentina
Authors: PÉREZ GAUDİO Denisa , PÉREZ Flavio , BRETSCHNEİDER Gustavo
Published: December 2020

Abomasal ulcers are local processes of autodigestion of the mucosa caused by the disturbance of the balance between protective and aggressive mechanisms at the abomasal mucosa. Several causes have been suggested and a multifactorial origin has been proposed. Signs are mostly non-specific and vary among the different ulcer types. This report describes for the first time in Argentina the clinical case of a perforated abomasal ulcer that induced sudden death in a heifer calf at foot dairy. At necropsy, digestive content in the abdominal cavity and two ulcers in the abomasum mucosa were evident. One ulcer had a well-defined 3 cm diameter perforation. Its leading cause has not been determined. To minimize the risk of developing perforated abomasal ulcers, stressful management practices should be avoided.
Identification of acinar cells of salivary gland in blood fed female ticks (Hyalomma anatolicusm anatolicum) by light microscopy
Authors: ESLAMPANAH Mohammad , ABDİGOUDARZİ Mohammad , HABLOLVARİD Mohammad Hasan
Published: December 2020

Ticks play an important role in human and veterinary medicine particularly due to their ability to transmit protozoan pathogens. This study was undertaken on salivary gland of tick using histological methods to decrease cost and budget to determine the presence of tick-borne pathogens of medical and veterinary importance. Ticks have been proved as carrier or vector of pathogenic protozoa by separating salivary gland and using histological methods. This study provides the morphological and histological properties of the salivary glands of semi-engorged Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum females. Unfed ticks solely were placed on cattle’s ear for feeding and females were collected, and placed in glass vials containing 70% ethanol. Collected ticks were studied and identified morphologically. Dorsal exoskeleton removed with a scalpel and salivary glands were separated by suitable forceps. Then Salivary glands were fixed in 10% formalin for further studies by light microscopy. Samples were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) for investigation under light microscope. The histological results show that the glandular tissue in females is combined with a system of ducts and the salivary glands of H. a. anatolicum consisted of three types of acinus (acinus I, II and III). The type I acinus was agranular and showed slight morphological changes during feeding. There were five granular cell types in the type II acinus, and three granular cell types in type III acinus. Data achieved here will help in understanding of the cellular morphology and general histology of these organs in this specie, preparing important information for the creation of scientific bases which will contribute to the development of more specific and efficient methods of control.
Learners’ Functional Understandings of Proof (LFUP) in Mathematics: A Qualitative Approach
Authors: Shongwe Benjamin
Published: December 2020

The purpose of this study was to present a revision and validation of the Learners’ Functional Understandings of Proof (LFUP) scale in mathematics using data collected from Grade 11 learners (n = 87) in a high school in South Africa. The LFUP scale was linked to the five-factor model (verification, explanation, communication, discovery, and systematisation) whose items were derived from existing literature on proof functions. Unlike the previous version of the scale, the new scale being validated here blends Likert-scale and constructed-response items to evaluate learners’ conceptions of the essence of the functions of an aspect central to mathematical knowledge development: proof. It is my contention that the LFUP instrument can be used as either a summative or a formative assessment tool, given the argument that learners often require motivation as to why they are required to write proofs. In short, this study provided an instrument to introduce learners to the concept of mathematical proof. Multiple regression analysis revealed that all five LFUP tenets correlated significantly with the total sum of all the functions of proof taken together. In the qualitative analysis, a substantial number of learners (52%) were found to hold hybrid beliefs about the functions of proof in mathematics.

Published: December 2020

Cases of clinical reproduction in crossbred cattle have been reported with the incidence of decreased reproductive performance. Crossbreeding resistance is usually followed by low immunity. Blood profile is one of the parameters that illustrate the immunity of livestocks. Goat crossbreeding resistance has never been studied. The purpose of this study was to analyze the crossbreeding resistance of the F1 BoerPE goat and her mothers by analyzing their blood profile. F1 BoerPE goat is the offspring of crossbreeding between Boer buck with PE goat. The research method was case study. The primary data were obtained from examination of blood profile and Physiological Status of F1 BoerPE goat and her mothers. The secondary data obtained from recording age and body weight. The blood profile data were analyzed by t test. The observed blood profile indicators were neutrophils, monocytes and lymphocytes. The results showed that theÂ  physiological status of F1 BoerPE goat and her mothers was not significant. Nevertheless, the number of neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes was significantly different (pË‚0.01). The average (%) number of neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes of PE goats was 37.92 Â± 1.37; 51.85 Â± 1.4; 3.87 Â± 0.21. while the average blood profile of F1 BoerPE was 46.16 Â± 2.1; 58.06 Â± 3.4; 5.51 Â± 0.18. The average number of neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes F1 BoerPE goat was higher compared to the parent. It is indicated that there were crossbreeding resistance of F1 BoerPE goat.
STALIN’S HEROES IN THE REFLECTION OF THE 1930s EGO-DOCUMENTS
Authors:   Institute of History, Siberian Branch of the RAS, Savin Andrey I.
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the potential of ego-documents of 1930s in researching the heroization of soviet daily life and the creation of Stalin’s heroes pantheon. In this context the hero is an institutional hero who received his status as a result of a state awarding act. Basing on the diaries and “letters to authorities” the article reconstructs self-perception of soviet “heroic” elites, as well as their perception by the contemporaries. The article finds, that ego-documents are a unique source of information, which makes it possible to research deeply such problems of soviet heroism as specific identity of Stalin’s heroes, mechanisms of creation of elitist soviet groups and personality cults of individual heroes, society hierarchization and reproduction of social inequality as a result of “order holders” affinity to authorities. Besides, ego-documents allow more authentic characterizing of the practices of public representation and glorification of Stalin’s heroes. In conclusion, the article states, that soviet society perceived processes of daily life heroization and the emergence of a plethora of Stalin’s heroes very ambiguously. The part of the society that chose to adapt actively to Stalin’s system demonstrated its delight with the idea of soviet heroism. In turn, skeptical contemporaries managed to see the policy of “making heroes” for what it was: effective strategies and practices aimed at manipulating the society, a powerful tool of social differentiation and hierarchization and a way to build-up specific soviet collective identity.
STRATEGIES AND FORMS OF AUTO-DESCRIPTION IN THE WORKS OF P. P. BAZHOV
Authors:   Perm State University, Antipina Zoya S. ,   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the RAS, Podlubnova Yulia S. ,   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the RAS
Published: December 2020

The article deals with the problem of constructing an autobiographical myth and using forms of auto-description in the works of P. P. Bazhov. The Ural author came to literature late, after the revolution and political work that had taught him to focus on requests and signals from the authorities. He clearly realized the borders of the Soviet and each time he chose in the subsequent writer’s work those forms of auto-description that avoided confessional constructions. Is it worth looking for some other P. P. Bazhov in his ego-texts and fiction? The following autobiographical essays and tales of the 1920–1940s were examined: “The Urals stories”, “For Soviet Truth”, “The Grasshopper”, “The Far — Close”, “Through Life”, some of his letters were considered as well. The analysis demonstrates that no matter what form of narration P. P. Bazhov uses, no matter what genre he addresses (from true story to memoir novella) the autos-description in his work turned out to be strategically reduced. P. P. Bazhov highlighted factography, documenting experience or creating an image of a place and reflecting an era and only then did the prose writer introduce markers of autobiography deliberately dosing information about himself each time integrating it into the general framework of Soviet constructs. It was this framework that fettered the author denying his right to memory, offering to remember only what worked to create the image of a Soviet journalist in the 1920s and Soviet writer in the 1940s. The self-representing constructions according to the articulated will of the writer faded into the background in the texts. However, P. P. Bazhov’s main auto-descriptive strategy was just such a curious creation of the Soviet version of the autobiography.
“AT HOME AMONG STRANGERS, A STRANGER AMONG HIS OWN”: IDENTIFICATION CODES IN THE MEMOIRS OF AINO KUUSINEN
Authors:   University of Tampere, Savkina Irina L.
Published: December 2020

The article discusses the memoirs “The Lord Deposes his Angels” by Aino Kuusinen in the context of the study of genealogy and morphology of Soviet subjectivity. In the Soviet historiography Aino Kuusinen (1886–1970) is known as the wife of the prominent Finnish communist and Soviet politician Otto Ville Kuusinen and as the Comintern staff member. In the middle of 1930s she moved to Japan, where she was supposedly involved in espionage activities for the Soviet Union. From Japan, Kuusinen was summoned to Moscow where she was arrested in 1938 and was in prison until 1955. In 1965, Aino Kuusinen emigrated from the Soviet Union, and wrote her memoirs in German. The first Russian translation was published in 1989. The main addressee of Kuusinen’s memoirs was a Western, primarily Finnish, reader, and in that sense, both a Russian reader and a researcher act as an “unforeseen addressee”, what creates new opportunities for reading and interpretation. The article analyses the main principles of the construction of the author’s “I”, of her identity in ideological, ethnical and gender aspects; how the personal and the socially determined are combined in the identification codes, approved by the author, and in the models of self, constructed in the text as the most notable for the author. The main distinctive feature of Kuusinen’s memoirs as the egodocument is as follows: the narrative of the events of the Soviet epoch (1920–1950s) is presented by “a moral witness (A. Assman), who was inside the Soviet space, but at the same time was in the position of an other; who was in a situation of intercultural transformation or cultural hybridity. This position creates the optics of detachment in describing Soviet life, which is important for understanding the Soviet subject and the time when this subject was formed.
MIGRATION PROCESSES IN THE SOUTHERN URALS DURING THE TRANSITION TO THE LATE BRONZE AGE
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the RAS, Grigoriev Stanislav A.
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of identifying migrations on the base of archaeological and paleogenetic data during the transition from the Middle Bronze Age (MBA) to the Late Bronze Age (LBA) in the Southern Trans-Urals. It discusses the methodological problems of detecting migrations from archaeological sources. Their most reliable sign is the appearance in some area not of separate features, but a complex of features of material culture from some remote area, as well as those features that reflect the introduction of new social relations and religious ideas. Such a complex could not be borrowed, and it is a reliable sign of migration. During the transition to the LBA in the Trans-Urals, new cultures appeared (Sintashta, Petrovka, and Alakul) and the penetration of features is recorded that had previously been formed in the Near East and Eastern Europe. These features are irregularly distributed: those from the Near East — mainly in the Sintashta culture, and Eastern European and Near Eastern features form a mixture in the Petrovka and Alakul cultures. These archaeological data correspond exactly to the results of paleogenetic studies: a significant contribution of Anatolian farmers was revealed in the genes of the Sintashta population, and it decreases in the Andronovo genes in favor of the Yamnaya-Poltavka component.
AUTHORSHIP / SUBJECTIVITY IN THE EXPERIENCE OF RUSSIAN BIOGRAPHICAL PROJECTS OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Veselkova Natalia V.
Published: December 2020

In the first half of the 20th century a number of projects with a historical and biographical “stuffing” were carried out in our country, from psychologist N. Rybnikov’s activity to establish Biographical Institute up to Gorky’s “History of the Civil War”, “History of Factories and Plants” and the Mintz Commission on the History of the Great Patriotic War. The affiliation of these projects to the first stage of the development of the biographical method, better known from the studies of the Chicago school, is asserted. The article attempts to analyze Russian projects on the subject of authorship / subjectivity constructions arising in them in an interdisciplinary way of the biographical method, as well as using a multiscalar approach to the study of social memory. It has been shown that “mass character” in these constructions has several aspects: a) involvement of the “masses”, b) key to verification and consensus in describing the past through the recollections of many participants, c) performativity. The democratization of biography-writing is considered in the context of the ‘Halbwachs Theorem’. In order for people unaccustomed to producing memories to be included in biographical practices, as well as to ensure the completeness and comparability of information obtained not only for political, but also for research purposes, semi-formalized methods were developed. Nevertheless, with all the declarations that the workers are now writing history, for the most part they were only suppliers of raw material, and the complex constructions of distributed authorship actually acted.
AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL WRITING OF L. D. TROTSKY DURING THE CIVIL WAR: POLITICS AND STYLISTICS
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Reznik Aleksandr V.
Published: December 2020

Leon Trotsky was not only an outstanding writer and speaker amongst Marxist politicians of his time, but he also could be named as one of the most well-known (auto)biographer. It was not only politics, that differed him from other high-ranking Bolsheviks, but it was a culture as well. Many of Trotsky’s rivals accused Trotsky of being extreme individualistic, alien to collectivist ideology. However, if to consider Trotsky’s biographical narratives in complex, the individualism was somewhat correct characteristic, as Trotsky indeed pointed the role of real persons, including of his own, in the history. Until recently, scholarly treatments of this issue have largely taken on Trotsky’s autobiography titled “My life: An Attempt at an Autobiography” (1929), yet this celebrated book had a certain background. The aim of article is to re-examine Trotsky’s literary and political activity in the context of his (auto)biographical texts, taking the period of the Russian Civil War as a case-study. The balance of pragmatics and poetics in his texts was reflected by Trotsky himself during the early period of the Civil War, when he publicly emphasized that he did not like the “military style”, but “got used to using the style of a publicist in life and literature”. Trotsky’s subsequent activities demonstrated that the balance between the dynamics of these two styles was determined not only by politics, but also by the author’s deeply rooted ideas about the place of his own “self” in writing.
UGR CALCULATION BASED ON THE LUMINANCE SPATIAL-ANGULAR DISTRIBUTION
Authors: Zheltov Viktor , Chembaev Viktor
Published: December 2020

The article has considered the calculation of the unified glare rating (UGR) based on the luminance spatial-angular distribution (LSAD). The method of local estimations of the Monte Carlo method is proposed as a method for modeling LSAD. On the basis of LSAD, it becomes possible to evaluate the quality of lighting by many criteria, including the generally accepted UGR. UGR allows preliminary assessment of the level of comfort for performing a visual task in a lighting system. A new method of "pixel-by-pixel" calculation of UGR based on LSAD is proposed.

This study used an explanative survey design followed by descriptive study of the cross sectional approach, which was carried out with 2 stages. The first stage of the study was conducted by identifying internal and external factors for stunting prevention with family empowerment. The second stage involves conducting Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and expert discussion then devised a model of family empowerment as a stunting prevention effort. The number of respondents used was 280 families. The sampling techniques was using cluster sampling. The strongest indirectly data which obtained from the research analysis of the pathway to prevent stunting was extenal factors through stunting empowerment with value of 0.264. The second strongest indirect influence was for stunting prevention through internal stunting prevention factors with value of 0.114. The results of this study showed that the indirect influence of family empowerment on stunting prevention is not as strong as the direct influence

Does Risk-Taking Behaviour Matter for Bank Efficiency?
Authors:   University of Nairobi, Kenya, Chepngenoh Florence , Muriu Peter W
Published: December 2020

In pursuit of financial intermediation between borrowers and savers banks are exposed to various risks which affect efficiency. Using annual panel data for the period 2010 to 2019, this paper investigates the influence of risk-taking behaviour on bank efficiency in a developing economy. Data envelopment analysis technique was used to obtain the profit efficiency scores of each bank and Tobit regression to estimate the impact of various components of bank risks on profit efficiency. Estimation results established that credit and liquidity risks, significantly influence bank efficiency. Therefore, banks should maintain quality assets and a stable liquidity position as they significantly impact on efficiency.
Exorcising the “Ghosts” from the Government Payroll in Developing Countries in the Wake of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Ghana’s Empirical Example

The salary payment of government workers constitute a significant percentage of total government expenditure in developing economies, simply because the government remains the largest or biggest employer. The Government Payroll system, therefore, requires a robust control mechanism to detect and prevent the occurrence of “payroll fraud”, as the irregularity denies the state of huge sums of monies going down the drain and into private pockets, and which could have otherwise been channelled into some critical sectors of the economy; and to minimise the excessive borrowing by government to fill the gap. The several efforts and reforms by the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) and the Ghana Audit Service (GAS) in particular; and the Ministry of Finance (MoF) in general, to clean the Government Payroll of these “payroll frauds” consistently over the years have not yielded the desired results. The various studies conducted on “payroll fraud” in Ghana did not address themselves to the introduction of the “Electronic-Salary Payment Voucher (E-SPV) system since 2014, which was hailed by many as the final panacea to the “annual ritual of ghost workers on the government payroll”. To fill the gap, we conducted this empirical cross-sectional research on “payroll fraud” based on the “fraud triangle theory” and the “graft estimation model”. We employed non probability purposive, but convenient, sampling methodology by means of structured questionnaires and face-to-face interviews to arrive at our conclusion. Our major finding was that “payroll fraud” can never be eliminated (but only minimised), and must therefore be treated and necessarily managed to the barest minimum (between 1% and 5%), just as normal “bad debts” in Financial Statements. Policy makers will have to revisit the issues about “Ghost Workers”, in the midst of the novel and dreaded, and disastrous Convid-19 pandemic.
