THE ROLE OF THE GEOGRAPHIC INDICATION CERTIFICATION OF ARABIC COFFEE AS AN EFFORT OF LOCAL FARMERS
Authors: Pratiwi Luh Putu Kirana , Budiasa Made , Yudiarini Nyoman
Published: February 2021

The demand for coffee in Indonesia is relatively high because Indonesia is the fourth largest coffee producing country in the world. This indicates that there is a change in the lifestyle of world coffee consumers who prioritizes health and environmental sustainability. The development of sustainable coffee farming is carried out by increasing the quality and productivity of the coffee harvest through the Geographical Indication Certification program. The results show that the Geographical Indication Certification Strategy in empowering local farmers is the SO (Strength-Opportunities) Strategy, namely: 1) Making the Geographical Indication area an ecotourism area through the development of integrated arabica coffee-based agribusiness (2) Facilitating and stimulating investment in industrial development directed at increasing competitiveness through fostering improvement in the quality and appearance of products in Arabica coffee and other derivative products. Thus, it is necessary to have consistent quality control from the government so that products received by consumers follow the Geographical Indication label.

Authors: AYAZLI İsmail Ercüment
Published: February 2021

Dünya nüfusu her yıl artmakta ve bu nüfusun yarısı kentlerde yaşamaktadır. Nüfus artışı nedeniyle kent mekânı fiziksel olarak genişlemekte ve fiziksel, çevresel, sosyal ve ekonomik sorunlara yol açmaktadır. Bu sorunların üstesinden gelebilmek için kentsel büyüme simülasyon modelleri sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. SLEUTH modeli, bu modeller arasında en çok uygulananlardan biridir. Test, kalibrasyon ve kestirim olmak üzere üç aşamada oluşturulan simülasyon modelinin en önemli aşaması kalibrasyondur ve bu işlem adımı ne kadar hassas tamamlanırsa model de o kadar doğru sonuçlar üretmektedir. 13 adet ölçüte göre büyüme katsayılarının hesaplandığı kalibrasyon aşamasında farklı yöntemler geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 13 ölçütün kullanılarak kalibrasyon aşamasının tamamlanabilmesini mümkün kılan Toplam Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi (T-AFA) yönteminin nüfus artışı hızı çok yüksek olan yerleşmelerdeki başarısını araştırmaktır. Bu kapsamda, İstanbul Sancaktepe İlçesi çalışma alanı olarak seçilmiştir ve 2040 yılı için bir kentsel büyüme simülasyon modeli üretilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar T-AFA yönteminin farklı çalışmalarda da kullanılabilmesi için umut vaat edicidir.
Implantable vaccines: a solution for immune system manipulation to any antigenic stimulus
Authors: Zerva Ioanna , Pateraki Vasileia , Athanassakis Irene
Published: February 2021

Effective and side-effect-free vaccines are still difficult tasks to achieve for a great majority of antigenic stimuli. Pathogen manipulation to abort infectivity and antigen delivery to ensure immune responsiveness are the major components vaccine technology tries to resolve. However, the development of an immune response is still a complicated matter, lies on hundreds of parameters and any effort towards activation can easily lead to adverse effects, making immunotherapy very difficult to control. The present review attempts to highlight the major parameters affecting immune responsiveness and show that vaccine technology, except from pathogen manipulation and the development of antigen delivery systems, requires attention to additional check-points. Analyzing the recently described personalized implantable vaccine technology, it becomes obvious that the nature of each antigenic stimulus dictates different responsiveness to the organism, which discourages the use of universal adjuvant and antigen-delivery systems. On the contrary, the ex vivo tuning of the immune response proposed by the implantable vaccine technology, allows controllable amendment of the response. The development of personalized technologies is expected to provide valuable tools for the management of human pathology.

Allyl Glycidyl Ether-modified Animal Glue Binder for Improved Water Resistance and Bonding Strength in Sand Casting
Authors: Fan Chen-chen , Tang Qian
Published: February 2021

This paper aims to develop a modified animal glue sand binder for foundry casting with improved water resistance and bonding strength. An efficient method is reported by using sodium hydroxide as the catalyst to improve the operability of animal glue binder and allyl glycidyl ether as the modifier to improve the water resistance and bonding strength. Sand specimens prepared using allyl glycidyl ether-modified animal glue binder were cured by compressed air at room temperature. The proposed method saves energy and is environmentally friendly and inexpensive. Compared with unmodified animal glue binder, standard dog bone sand specimens with allyl glycidyl ether-modified animal glue binder had higher tensile strength of 2.58 MPa, flowability of 1.95 g, better water resistance (a lower decrease in tensile strength at 25 °C and relative humidity of 60%), and good collapsibility. This allyl glycidyl ether-modified animal glue binder is suitable for practical application in the foundry industry
Krisen in Partnerschaften älterer Menschen
Authors: Ruhwinkel Bernadette
Published: February 2021

Das Altern ist vielfältig geworden, auch das gemeinsame Altern als Paar. Die meisten verheirateten Menschen jenseits des 60. Altersjahres leben in Langzeitehen. Verschiedenen Formen körperlicher Einschränkungen, aber auch große Differenzen in Wünschen und Zielen für diese Zeit sowie die Fantasie oder Realität eines plötzlichen Endes des gemeinsamen Weges können die Gemeinschaft der Partner sehr belasten. Wie kann Psychotherapie älteren Menschen bei diesen Themen nützlich sein? Welche Haltung des Therapeuten ist förderlich, welche Themen sind spezifisch in der Arbeit mit älteren Menschen und was kann erreicht werden? Anhand von drei Fallbeispielen aus eigener psychotherapeutischer Arbeit nach ökologisch-systemischer Technik (Willi) werden diese Fragen beleuchtet. Integriert werden dabei Elemente aus der existenziellen Psychotherapie (Yalom) und aus der Arbeit mit dem »Inneren Team« (Schulz von Thun).

Linguo-Culturological Analysis of the German Phraseological Units with the Core Component “Käse” (Cheese)
Authors: Danilova Victoria Anatolievna
Published: February 2021

The research objective is as follows: relying on the linguo-culturological approach, the author tries to reconstruct a fragment of the German verbal and cogitative worldview represented by phraseological units with the nominal core component “Käse” (cheese). Scientific novelty of the research lies in choosing little-studied phraseological material, including archaic idioms related to the thematic field “Cheese-making and Cheese-eating in Germany”, and in conducting their linguo-cultural analysis. As a result, phraseological units with the core component “Käse” (cheese), implementing principle concepts of cheese as a sociocultural phenomenon within the German linguistic worldview, are identified, organised and described.

Images of the Ancient Chinese Poetry in Poems by A. Achair and B. Volkov
Authors: Bogdanova Olga Vladimirovna , Zang Yunmei
Published: February 2021

The article analyses how motives of the ancient Chinese pre-texts are implemented in poetry by A. Achair and B. Volkov, representatives of the “Eastern branch” of the Russian emigration (the 1920-1940s). The researchers propose a thesis that allusions to the ancient Chinese poetry constitute poetical originality of post-texts. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the researchers for the first time examine little-known poets’ works and tackle the problem which has not been previously investigated. The findings indicate that the Russian émigré poets suggested a free interpretation of the Chinese pre-texts and abandoned the tradition of restrained narration typical of the Tang classics Li Chi and Wang Changling. Adherence to the Russian literary tradition adds rich imagery to A. Achair’s and B. Volkov’s poetical texts.
Place of Phraseological Combinations in the System of Language Units
Authors: Wang Wanwan
Published: February 2021

The study aims to determine the place of phraseological combinations in the system of language units by comparing them to free word combinations and phraseological units-idioms. Scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that the important criterion underlying the comparison is determinacy of phraseological combinations components, which reveals a different degree of coherence between components depending on the grammatical structure of phraseological combinations. Basing on systematisation of the information about lexical-semantic and morphological-syntactic determinacy of phraseological combinations, the researcher has revealed their similarity to and differences with phraseological units-idioms and free word combinations. As a result, the status of phraseological combinations in the system of language units is identified. Phraseological combinations are considered as a transitional stage from free word combinations to phraseology.

Authors: Sizova Irina Igorevna
Published: February 2021

The paper aims to reveal influence of L. N. Tolstoy’s artistic heritage of the 1880-1900s on folk theatre. The article considers the following issues: three periods of folk theatre development in 1862-1917, scenic life of Tolstoy’s plays, their creative history. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that relying on a wide range of sources - archival materials, periodicals of the mentioned period, special literature, - the researcher presents a comprehensive overview of the problem. The findings are as follows: influence of Tolstoy’s personality and creative work on folk theatre formation is revealed; unknown productions of “The First Distiller” are mentioned. Creative history of 1910 plays is presented from an uncommon perspective: from the state of this type of theatre towards the writer’s artistic-aesthetic, moral and philosophical searching.
Valency and Semantics of Predicate as Factor in Determining Referential Potential of Name of Person (by the Material of the English and Tatar Languages)
Authors: Ibragimova Elmira Rafailevna
Published: February 2021

The purpose of the study is to identify the main syntactic features of the English and Tatar causative utterances determined by valency and semantics of the predicate, with their subsequent contrastive analysis. The article deals with features of actant organisation of utterances with semantics of causation containing names of a person in the role of the subject. Special attention is paid to similarities and differences between the English and Tatar syntactic constructions of the said semantics. Scientific novelty of the work is determined by the fact that utterances with causative semantics containing a name of a person have not been studied to a sufficient degree. As a result, it was found that valency and semantics of the verb provide a possibility of alternation of names of a person and event in the role of the subject and, therefore, determine realisation of referential or interpretational statuses of names of a person.

Peasants’ Nicknames in Business Written Monuments of XVII-Century Yenisei Siberia
Authors: Gorodilova Lyudmila M.
Published: February 2021

The study aims to reconstruct the anthroponymicon of the first Russian settlers of Yenisei Siberia in the XVII century. The article considers nicknames of one socially significant group - peasants. The regional components of the onomastic and lexical-semantic system of the Old Russian language are restored through nicknames. Scientific novelty of the work lies in introducing new manuscript sources and anthropological materials, which make it possible to expand knowledge about composition of not only the regional but also the all-Russian onomasticon of the XVII century, into scientific use. The attained results have shown that semantic diversity of peasant nicknames is accounted for by their genetic connection to various dialects of the European part, mainly the North of Rus.
The Phenomena of Fragmentation in the Legal Relations between the Council of Europe and the European Union
Authors: Kuzma Viktoriya
Published: February 2021

This article presents the current issues in the law of international organizations and contemporary international law in general. It is pointed out that the division of international law into branches and institutions, in order to ensure the effective legal regulation of new spheres of relations, led to the emergence of autonomous legal regimes, even within one region, namely on the European continent. To date, these include European Union law and Council of Europe law. It is emphasized the features of the established legal relations between the Council of Europe and the European Union at the present stage. It is determined that, along with close cooperation between regional organizations, there is a phenomenon of fragmentation, which is accompanied by the creation of two legal regimes within the same regional subsystem, proliferation of the international legal norms, institutions, spheres and conflicts of jurisdiction between the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. It is revealed that some aspects of fragmentation can be observed from the moment of establishing relations between the Council of Europe and the European Union, up to the modern dynamics of the functioning of the system of law of international organizations, the law of international treaties, law of human rights. Areas and types of fragmentation in relations between international intergovernmental organizations of the European continent are distinguished. One way to overcome the consequences of fragmentation in the field of human rights is highlighted, namely through the accession of the European Union to the Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms 1950. Considerable attention has also been paid to defragmentation, which is partly reflected in the participation of the European Union in the Council of Europe’s conventions by the applying «disconnection clause». It is determined that the legal relations established between an international intergovernmental organization of the traditional type and the integration association sui generis, the CoE and the EU, but with the presence of phenomenon of fragmentation in a close strategic partnership, do not diminish their joint contribution into the development of the law of international organizations and contemporary international law in general. Key words: defragmentation; European Union; European Court of Human Rights; Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms 1950; conflict of jurisdictions; «disconnection clause»; Council of Europe; Court of Justice of the European Union; fragmentation; sui generis.
Problems of Integration of Belarus and Russia: prerequisites, trends, consequences
Authors: Polovyi Тaras
Published: February 2021

The article is devoted to the problem of Belarusian-Russian integration. The author attempted to analyze the nature and specifics of the Belarusian-Russian rapprochement. We determined that in the beginning of the 1990s it was the Belarusian side that initiated the integration processes. However, starting from the 2000s, Russian initiatives did not coincide with the interests of the Belarusian leadership, which led to further contradictions in bilateral relations. It is proved that at the present stage neither Belarusian nor Russian society is interested in unification into the Union State. It is noted that the current crisis in relations between Minsk and Moscow is not economic but political in nature and can threaten the destabilization of the situation in Belarus and can lead to further escalation. It is established that in parallel with integration, processes related to the expansion of cooperation with other countries are taking place in Belarus, the search for investments that are aimed at decreasing the political and economic influence of Russia. Key words: Republic of Belarus; Russian Federation; Belarusian-Russian integration; the Union State; Belarusian sovereignty; deepening of integration; crisis of integration.

Examining Clinical Teaching Observation Scores as a Measure of Preservice Teacher Quality
Authors: Bartanen Brendan , Kwok Andrew
Published: February 2021

We draw on rich longitudinal data from one of the largest teacher education programs in Texas to examine the properties of rubric-based observational evaluations of preservice teachers (PSTs) during clinical teaching. Using a variance decomposition approach, we find that little of the variation in observation scores is attributable to actual differences between PSTs. Instead, differences in scores largely reflect differences in the rating standards of field supervisors. Men and PSTs of color receive systematically lower scores, as do PSTs in lower-income and rural placement schools. Finally, higher-scoring PSTs are slightly more likely to become employed as K–12 public school teachers and substantially more likely to be hired at the same school as their clinical teaching placement.

What makes a good query? Prospects for a comprehensive theory of human information acquisition
Authors: Meder Björn , Crupi Vincenzo , Nelson Jonathan D.
Published: February 2021

Searching for information in a goal-directed manner is central for learning, diagnosis, and prediction. Children continuously ask questions to learn new concepts, doctors do medical tests to diagnose their patients, and scientists perform experiments to test their theories. But what makes a good question? What principles govern human information acquisition and how do people decide which query to conduct to achieve their goals? What challenges need to be met to advance theory and psychology of human inquiry? Addressing these issues, we introduce the conceptual and mathematical ideas underlying different models of the value of information, what purpose these models serve in psychological research, and how they can be integrated in a unified formal framework. We also discuss the conflict between short- and long-term efficiency of prominent methods for query selection, and the resulting normative and methodological implications for studying human sequential search. A final point of discussion concerns the relations between probabilistic (Bayesian) models of the value of information and heuristic search strategies, and the insights than can be gained from bridging different levels of analysis and types of models. We conclude by discussing open questions and challenges that research needs to address to build a comprehensive theory of human information acquisition.
Working toward a purpose: Examining the cross-sectional and longitudinal effects of work characteristics on sense of purpose
Authors: Weston Sara J , Hill Patrick , Cardador Teresa
Published: February 2021

Objective: Employment appears to influence employees’ sense of purpose, insofar as work roles can provide life direction and allow individuals to fulfill meaningful aims or have regular goal-related activity engagement. However, research is needed on which specific characteristics of the work predict employees’ sense of purpose. The current study sought to quantify the degree to which specific work characteristics, including skill variety, autonomy, coworker support, and supervisor support, were associated with initial levels and changes in purpose. Additionally, we examine positive and negative work-home spillover as moderators of these relationships. Methods: We examined hypothesized relationships in a subsample (N = 4,963) of a nationally representative panel study which included between two and three assessments of work characteristics, spillover, and sense of purpose, each roughly 10 years apart. Results: Using multilevel models to assess within-person associations and lagged effects, we found that greater skill variety and coworker support but not autonomy or supervisor support, were associated with higher levels of purpose. Moreover, increases in purpose were associated with higher initial levels of skill variety. These relationships were not moderated by spillover. Conclusion: Individuals with skill variety and coworker support at work appear to experience the strongest levels of sense of purpose.
Hide a Dagger Behind a Smile: A Review of How Collectivistic Cultures Compete More Than Individualistic Cultures
Authors: Wu Kaidi , Talhelm Thomas
Published: February 2021

Why is there so much competition in seemingly harmonious societies? In this chapter, we connect different veins of research on cultural differences in competition. We first review cultural variation in people's attitudes about competition. Next, we discuss why and how people from different cultures compete. We argue that, in cultures that demand social harmony, people use tacit strategies to compete against others. This social vigilance is a consequence of collectivism, rather than the exception. Next, we explore how people from different cultures enter competitions and how it affects them afterwards. We end with a discussion of whether there can be versions of collectivistic societies without competition or whether this is a utopian dream.

Published: February 2021

Objective: There is limited existing research on the structure of routine and mental wellbeing. During March 2020, the UK entered a national lockdown, causing a sudden change in undergraduate students’ routines. This study uses this event to investigate the impact routine change had on students’ mental wellbeing; in particular looking at depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance, and eating behaviours.Method: Participants reported their daily routine timings (waking, breakfast, lunch, evening meal and bedtime) and activities (e.g. exercise amount, time with friends, time studying, etc) on a typical Monday, Wednesday and Saturday during term time and lockdown. Additionally they completed the PROMIS measures of anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance, and the Eating Pathology Symptom Inventory.Results: Lockdown saw small but significant shifts in routine timing (on average 1.5 hours) However, there was no clear overall pattern of relationships between mental wellbeing and routine structure or magnitude of routine change. There was some evidence of changes in amount of exercise relating to reported anxiety. Discussion: These findings are consistent with the current literature reporting lockdown effects on behaviour. Routine timings shifted but this change was small and there was minimal impact of routine change on mental wellbeing reported by undergraduate students. The change in amount of exercise posed by lockdown did appear to be an important factor in wellbeing, and more research should focus on the wellbeing implications of closing places for exercise.
Contextual Factors that Heighten Interest in Coalitional Alliances with Men Possessing Formidable Facial Structures in the United States
Authors: Brown Mitch , Sacco Donald F. , Barbaro Nicole , Drea Kelsey
Published: February 2021

Individuals use facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) to infer formidability in men. We hypothesized such broad assessments of target formidability from fWHR would form a basis for determining men’s coalitional value, with high-fWHR men being especially valuable in roles requiring physical strength. Across five studies (N=1,315), we assessed how affordance judgments of formidability influence coalitional decisions. In addition to replicating previous findings indicating high-fWHR men are more desirable for tasks requiring physical strength (Study 1), we found a perceptual basis for these decisions (Studies 2a and 2b). In two pre-registered studies, we found that activation of competitive motivations heightens individuals’ interest in formidable allies during intergroup interactions (Study 3), but not interest in approaching them (Study 4). We interpret findings using evolutionary and social affordance theories and discuss hypothesized ancestral origins of selecting formidable allies.

Published: February 2021

Introduction: Children with intellectual disability (ID) have higher probability of experiencing poor health status due to their limited ability to understand and assess information about nutrition and health. Malnutrition remains a significant health problem as it is prevalent among both typically developing and disabled children. This scoping review aims to discuss the prevalence of malnutrition among children and adolescents with ID in Asian countries. Methods: The review was based on the PRISMA-ScR method. A systematic electronic search was conducted using databases namely PUBMED, Science Direct, Scopus, and Google Scholar for articles published from 2006-2019, written in English and involved studies in Asian countries. Results: A total of 255,100 article’s titles were identified and only 17 articles that met the inclusion criteria were included for further analysis. The findings revealed that the range of prevalence for underweight was 5.7%-76.3% and 28.9%-45.0% for stunting. The prevalence estimated for overweight was 3.9%-46.6%, while obesity was 1.6%- 26.6%. The body mass index values ranged from 17.4±4.3kg/m2-23.0±6.3kg/m2. There were several risk factors related to malnutrition such as co-morbidity factors, behavioural factors, and parental factors. Conclusion: This review demonstrated concern regarding the prevalence of malnutrition among children and adolescents with ID, which is high in certain Asian countries. It was varied and thus difficult to compare due to different reference standards and definitions used for malnutrition. Establishing nutrition and health-related intervention programmes can help to prevent further rise in the prevalence of malnutrition in this group.

Objectives: The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Methicillin Resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and MDR bacteria isolated from various clinical specimens from the patients attending Narayani Samudayik Hospital, Chitwan

Methods: A cross sectional study was carried in NPI-Narayani Samudayik Hospital, Chitwan from June to December 2017. Altogether, 3610 clinical specimens mainly pus, blood and urine were collected, streaked on Mannitol Salt Agar and Blood Agar and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. The confirmed colonies of S. aureus were sub-cultured on Nutrient Agar. The antibiotic susceptibility pattern of all isolates S. aureus was determined by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. Isolates resistant to cefoxitin (30mcg) were confirmed as MRSA.

Result: Among 3610 total clinical samples, 17.6 % (635/3610) showed growth and 95(14.96%) S. aureus were isolated. Higher number of S. aureus was isolated from pus sample (93.15%). Out of 95 S. aureus isolates, 55 (57.89%) were identified as MRSA while 40 (42.10%) were MSSA. Vancomycin, ceftriaxone and chloramphenicol were found to be most effective antibiotic against isolates. Whereas, the least effective antibiotic was cefoxitin followed by amoxiclav, oxacillin and amoxicillin.

Conclusion: This study concludes that the overall prevalence of MRSA and MDR among the bacterial isolates is higher compared to other studies. So, it is recommended to monitor the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of pathogens regularly and study the epidemiology of such isolates.
