Authors: Odhano I. A. , Bozdar H. B. , Sial M. A.
Published: February 2021

A complete diallel analysis was carried out to determine combining ability of Shandar, NIA-Mehran, NIA-19/A, KS-282 and Shua-92 rice varieties in F1 during 2017. The objective of the study was to identify potential recombinants for future rice breeding program. The research was conducted at Nuclear Institute of Agriculture, Tandojam. Genotypic mean squares were significant (P ?0.01) for all of the traits i.e.; days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, number of tillers plant-1, panicle length, grains panicle-1 and grain yield plant-1 indicating genetic variation. Importance of both additive and non-additive gene action was found with preponderance of additive genetic effects in expression of traits studied. Showing negative GCA effects, NIA-Mehran, NIA-19/A and Shua-92 proved better parent varieties for developing early maturity. While, NIA-Mehran, KS-282 and Shua-92 for developing short stature genotypes. While, Shandar remained the best combiner for yield and yield associated traits with higher positive GCA effects. Cross combination of Shandar × KS-282 was the best with higher negative effects for days to heading and maturity and higher positive effects for grain yield plant-1. NIA-Mehran × Shua-92 gave the highest negative SCA effects indicating best combination for short stature. In case of number of tillers plant-1 and grains panicle-1, the cross NIA-19/A × KS-282 was the better combination with the highest positive SCA effects. Shandar × NIA-Mehran manifested the highest value for panicle length. Findings of reciprocal SCA  revealed that the reciprocal cross combination of Shua-92 × Shandar was fruitful illustrating negative effects for days to heading and maturity. While, KS-282 × NIA-Mehran was the best reciprocal combination for yield and yield associated traits. It is concluded that rice varieties Shandar and NIA-Mehran could be used to improve yield contributing traits in rice, while, NIA-Mehran and KS-282 may be used to improve early maturity and short stature in rice crop.

Should We Wear Masks While Exercising Outdoor During COVID-19?
Authors: Kwon Young Sub
Published: February 2021

While safety is a high priority for our community during the Covid-19 pandemic, exercise is essential to improve and maintain a healthy lifestyle (ACSM, 2018). Fitness centers are reopening across the county with various safety precautions including masks and social distancing. Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2020) recommends all people to wear a mask (except for children younger than 2 years old, anyone who has trouble breathing, and anyone who is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the cloth face-covering without assistance), wearing a mask may not be possible in every situation. For example, during outdoor exercises, wearing a mask contributes to issues of potential breathing restrictions (lower the oxygen gas concentration levels in the recirculated air). This column concerns views on wearing masks while exercising, especially when doing it outdoors.

Proverbs and fixed expression are the mirror which reflects people’s nature and the resume of what they have experienced. Proverbs are part of metaphorical language that has superficial as well as a deep sense. They are form of speech or an expression, it can’t understand by individual meaning. Role of culture is important in target language.These proverbs have been written briefly in small sentences to narrate long stories that are the main bey to understand human culture and social reality. Therefore, translating proverbs are more difficult for the translator, who are not familiar with them. The variations in cultures make translation process real challenge.Every proverb there are links and characters associated with it, where the translator had to look for the synonym identical to proverb similar in meaning and composition.

There is no doubt that there is no corner of civilization in which Muslims have not made significant progress. But most of his accomplishments are reflected in the architecture and its supporting arts. The one and a half thousand year history of Islam is in fact the history of the rise of Islamic architecture. Muslims decorated a large part of the world with beautiful buildings in different periods of their rule. Thus, at different times, Islamic architecture took different forms. Among them, there is diversity due to the differences in the country and the buildings, which is due to the climate, environment and construction issues of this country. But despite this, there is unity and continuity in Islamic architecture. This is a feature of Islamic civilization. In spite of their diversity, Islamic civilization has allowed fusion in all of them, which we call Islamic colors. And the basic element of this unity was the Islamic faith which united the different nations in this one faith. Due to which, whatever religious buildings are built in any part of the world in the future, they are all the same, which was not affected by time and distance. Every building has its own uniqueness. These Islamic buildings have a deep Muslim imprint. This is due to the architectural style and decorative carvings of these buildings and these carvings have a spiritual aspect which has its own distinct identity of Islamic architecture. At the same time, it is a valuable asset that still reflects Islamic civilization. In our article, we have examined this unity of Islamic architecture in a cultural context.

Determinants of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in the United States: Differences in Risk Factor and Genetic Susceptibility by Race/Ethnicity
Authors: Rafique Mehwish , Kristjansson Dana
Published: February 2021

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the few cancers with an increasing incidence and mortality worldwide. This study aims to determine the contribution of known risk factors for HCC by race and ethnicity.

Methods: Data on race, ethnicity, age, and gender were obtained from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Population attributable fractions (PAFs) of risk factors were estimated using non-invasive scoring measures of Hepatitis B and C virus infection, excessive alcohol use, smoking, diabetes and emerging metabolic risk factors [non-alcoholic steatohepatitis advanced cirrhosis (NASH) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-advanced fibrosis (NAFLD-fib)] over a 10-year period, 1999-2002 and 2009-2012. Genetic analysis was performed using DisGenet platform by attaining the top enriched genes strongly related to HCC. Furthermore, cytoscape network was used to form a gene-disease network association.

Results: NASH-cirrhosis increased in the overall population and among all race and ethnic groups. Both liver fat accumulation and ALT levels vary among different populations; however, Hispanics have the highest prevalence of NAFLD and elevated ALT levels. Non-Hispanic (NH) blacks and Hispanics had a 3 to 4 times higher PAF for HCC than whites attributed due to chronic liver diseases, including NASH-cirrhosis and NAFLD-fib. Our genetic analysis demonstrated that PNPLA3 polymorphism is strongly associated with NAFLD-fib, which appears to represent susceptibility to liver disease among the Hispanic community.

Conclusion: Hispanics and NH blacks are at a disproportionately higher risk for HCC in part due to the higher prevalence of liver disease comorbidities, including NASH-cirrhosis and NAFLD-fib. Compared to NH whites, Hispanics and NH blacks have a higher baseline risk for liver cancer due to non-metabolic factors, which may include a genetic susceptibility. Metabolic risk factors have increased and are now contributing to nearly half of HCC cases in the US.

Published: February 2021

In real world scenario due to bad weather conditions the presence of fog and haze, the particles in the outdoor environment or atmosphere (e.g., droplets, smoke, sand, snow, mist, volcanic ash, liquid dust or solid dust) greatly reduces the visibility of the scene. As a consequence, the clarity of an image would be seriously degraded, which may decrease the performance of many image processing applications. Image Dehazing methods try to alleviate these problems by estimating a haze free version of the given hazy image. Traditionally the task of image dehazing can be processed as recovering the scene radiance from a noisy hazy image by estimating the atmospheric light and transmission properties. In those kinds of techniques, it additionally needs some more information regarding the image such as scene depth, weather condition parameters and so on. But this is not suitable for real world scenario. This research focus on proposing an approach to fully capture the intrinsic attributes of a hazy image and improves the performance of dehazing. Dark Channel Prior plays vital role in dehazing process. Hence this research focus on recovering dehaze version of the input image by CNN. So that all methods are comes under the categories image enhancement, image fusion image restoration based on statistical and structural features of the hazed image.

Staging temporary spaces
Authors: Ferreri Mara
Published: February 2021

This chapter analyses the performative urban experiences produced by
temporary projects and their claim to publicness and openness to local
communities. Through a critical discussion of the promises of ‘vibrancy’
and community engagement, it examines the importance of staging
in temporary urban spaces, its co-optation and its everyday, contested
performative encounters. The chapter draws extensively on participant
observations of temporary projects in the Elephant and Castle shopping
centre during the last decade before its final closure. The frictions between
staged and unexpected urban encounters challenge the celebration of
‘use value’ as inherently beyond commodification. It reveals the need
to attend carefully to local power entanglements and to the potential
role of temporary uses in solidarity movements against demolition and
displacement.
Planning a temporary city of ondemand communities
Authors: Ferreri Mara
Published: February 2021

The chapter explores how temporary urban ideas and values have become
embedded in urban planning policy. It examines the institutionalisation
of pop-up and temporary places in post-2008 London policymaking. It particularly
draws on policy analysis, participant observations and interviews
with public agencies, professionals and community organisations involved
in the redevelopment of the London 2012 Olympics neighbourhoods.
The case of a youth-oriented temporary community space is taken as
emblematic of a shift towards increasingly short-term public provision at
the margins of longer-term privatisation. It concludes that the imaginary of
pop-up participation follows an ‘on-demand’ logic that sits uncomfortably
with the needs and demands of urban communities affected by austerity
policies and that risks ushering in further exclusion and precarisation.
Poetic Cinema and the Spirit of the Gift in the Films of Pabst, Parajanov, Kubrick and Ruiz

Published: February 2021

Poetic Cinema and the Spirit of the Gift in the Films of Pabst, Parajanov, Kubrick and Ruiz explores the poetic thinking of these master filmmakers. It examines theoretical ideas, including Maori anthropology of the gift and Sufi philosophy of the image, to conceive film as abundant gift. Elaborating on how this gift may be received, this book imagines film as our indispensable mentor - a wild mentor who teaches us how to think with moving images by learning to perceive evanescent forms that simply appear and disappear.
Reference Models for Transmitting Knowledge
Authors: Kaufmann Lena
Published: February 2021

This chapter describes one specific verbal medium of paddy field knowledge
transmission, farming proverbs, discussing the role these proverbs
play at the nexus of rice farming and rural-urban migration in China.
Based on two anthologies of oral vernacular literature, the chapter asserts
that these agricultural maxims provide evidence for the transformation
of farming technology and the system of knowledge transmission. In
addition, it argues that, first, the strength of these sayings lies precisely in
their flexibility, which has made them a platform of knowledge negotiation
between peasants and the state; and, second, that these proverbs have
the potential to serve as a back-up resource for retaining paddy field
knowledge.
Technological Choice in the Wake of Migration
Authors: Kaufmann Lena
Published: February 2021

This chapter analyses the strategic technological decisions which Chinese
rice farmers take to manage their farmland in a context of rural-urban
migration. Based on ethnographic field research, it does so mainly
through the example of one left-behind woman and her choice of harvesting
technologies. Proposing a repertoire perspective on technological
choice, the chapter sheds light on the diverse socio-technical factors
behind such decision-making. It argues against a linear perspective of
technological development, showing why it makes sense for farmers
to simultaneously draw on a repertoire of old and new technologies,
rather than simply opting for mechanization in order to compensate
for the migrated labour. This also provides additional insights into the
complex relationship and causalities between agricultural technology
and migration.
Laying the Foundation for a Spatial Reasoning Researcher-Practitioner Partnership with CPS, SILC, and The Learning Partnership

Published: February 2021

The goal of this project was to explore how explicit instruction in spatial reasoning in primary grades can contribute to reductions in variation in STEM outcomes for low-income, minority students in the Chicago Public Schools (CPS). Our project focused on the persistent gender, racial and ethnic, and socioeconomic inequalities in STEM educational and career achievement and attainment. Our approach to addressing this problem was guided by research evidence that much of the variation in STEM outcomes for these groups can be explained by spatial reasoning abilities. Importantly, spatial reasoning skills can be improved through practice, but are rarely explicitly taught in the classroom. The spatial reasoning needs and opportunities identified by this work are relevant to CPS in that they focus on the prevalent science, math, and computer science curricula currently used in CPS K-2 instruction. As such, our findings provide specific, actionable guidance for the development of curricular supports that infuse explicit spatial reasoning instruction.
„Marhahúsevők” : A Yeoman Warderek története 1485-től napjainkig (Első rész)
Authors: Bottyán Tímea Diána
Published: February 2021

A Yeomen Warder fogalma nem túl ismert világszerte. A fontos szerepet betöltő, de az ismeretlenségbe burkolódzó Yeoman Warder csoport nagyságrendileg egy körülbelül 40 fős katonai fegyveres erőt, a Királynő Személyi Testőrségéhez tartozó különleges egységet takar. A londoni Tower és az itt szolgálatot teljesítő Yeoman Warderek a brit történelem és a nemzeti identitás időtlen szimbólumai. A Yeoman Warderek története és tevékenysége szorosan összefügg a Tower történetével. Ennek felderítése és a Yeoman Warderek tevékenységének megismerése érdekében a tanulmány végig vezet e speciális csoport történetén és bemutatja tevékenységüket. A Towert I. Erzsébet királynő idejétől kezdve látogatják. A 19. század végére az érdeklődők száma elérte az 500 000 főt évente, mára pedig ez a szám 4-4,5 millióra tehető. A megnövekedett látogatószám, illetve a Yeoman Wardereket bemutató tárlatvezetés hozzájárulhat a Yeoman Warderek ismertségének növeléséhez.
A Chicago-szimbólum története
Authors: Koudela Pál
Published: February 2021

Chicago neve egybeforrott a túlnépesedéssel, bűnözéssel és a városi problémákkal, s talán kevésbé szembeötlő módon, de a városkutatással a nagyvárosok fejlődésével, a felhőkarcolókkal ás számos más vívmánnyal is. Chicago története rövid és tankönyvbe illő, s híre néhány évtizeden belül az egész világban elterjedt, erős, a város saját életére is visszaható szimbólummá vált. Ebben a tanulmányban a szimbólum egyes jelentéselemeinek valós és imaginárius történetét fejtjük ki a telekspekulációtól a gyors népességnövekedésen, a hamar megjelenő szervezett és szervezetlen bűnözésen keresztül a tudományos és irodalmi életig. A városok a történetileg konstruált jelentések hordozói. A várostörténet művelődéstörténeti szemmel nem más, mint eltérő közösségek története. A város szimbolikus értelmezése a viselkedés, a közterek és tereptárgyak jelentéseinek vizsgálata központi eleme a művelődéstörténetnek – Chicago művelődéstörténeti elemzéséhez ezek az elvek vezettek.
A valdens nők és a valdens család a középkorban
Authors: Bognárné Kocsis Judit
Published: February 2021

A kutatás a valdens nők és a valdens családok középkorban betöltött szerepre, életére fókuszál. A valdensek valójában egy olasz protestáns (református) vallási kisebbség, akik a társadalom és a kereszténység szoros összefonódását vallják. A kutatás az alábbi kérdésekre keresi a választ: Miként vállaltak szerepet a valdens nők a vallásos nevelésben? A családi nevelés során milyen értékek átadására törekedtek? A valdens nők külső megjelenésükben, magaviseletükben mennyiben voltak eltérőek a többi asszonytársaiktól? A kutatói kérdések megválaszolásához olasz és angol nyelvű forrásokat használtam a tanulmányomban. A kutatás alapvetően analitikus jellegű, az értelmezés és a szintetizáló elemzés módszerét alkalmazza. A forráselemzéseken keresztül elsősorban a kvalitatív paradigma keretei között maradva, az interpretatív szemléletmódot követem. A kutatás segíti a valdens nők szerepének, valamint a valdens családok sajátosságainak, nevelésének megértését a vizsgált korszakra vonatkozóan, mindemellett a neveléstörténet iránt érdeklődőknek hasznos információkat nyújt.
A győri közoktatás 1945-1990 között a rendeletek, törvények tükrében
Authors: Kováts-Németh Mária
Published: February 2021

A tanulmány bemutatja azokat a változásokat Győr közoktatásában 1945 és 1990 között, melyeket a változó társadalmi rendszer tett szükségessé, kötelezővé rendeletekkel és két közoktatási törvénnyel. Felhívja a figyelmet azokra a veszteségekre, melyek alig vagy egyáltalán nem ismertek a mai pedagógus és oktatásirányítók körében. A gyökértelenség gátolja a helyes értékrend stabilitását, sőt kibontakozását. Ez nem jelenti azt, hogy nem voltak kiváló iskolák és nincsenek kiváló iskolák; s azt sem jelenti, hogy nem voltak kiváló tanárok, s nincsenek kiváló tanárok. A rendszerektől függetlenül mindig voltak és vannak kiváló tanárok, akik meghatározóak az ifjúság életében. Ők általában nem kitüntetett emberek, de kitüntetettek a diákjaik által. Mit bizonyít a tanulmány? Leginkább azt, hogy rendszertől független a jó iskola! S azt is, hogy az iskola csak kiszámítható, biztonságos körülmények között – világos célmeghatározás, világos nevelési-oktatási követelmények, rendszeres külső ellenőrzés-értékelés – működik jól.
A kvalitatív összehasonlító elemzés történeti háttere
Authors: Sántha Kálmán
Published: February 2021

A tanulmány célja a kvalitatív összehasonlító elemzés (Qualitative Comparative Analysis- QCA) történeti hátterének feltárása. A Charles Ragin által a 20. század végén létrehozott kvalitatív összehasonlító elemzés matematikai, Boole-algebrai, halmazelméleti és logikai alapokon áll és kitűnően használható a neveléstudomány összetett jelenségeinek feltárását célul kitűző vizsgálatokban. A módszertan túllép a kvalitatív elemzéseken és összetett módszertani környezetet kínál a humán valóság feltárásához. A tanulmány a QCA alapelveinek rövid illusztrálása mellett kitér a módszertan megjelenésekor létező nemzetközi tudományos környezet illusztrálására, a többszörös esettanulmányok és az összehasonlító elemzések közötti kapcsolatok feltárására. Továbbá párhuzamba állítja a QCA Ragin-féle és az összehasonlító elemzések Mill-i koncepcióját.
Traktoros lányoktól a Csemege-kosárig : Propagált nőképek és kialakult szépségideálok a szocializmusban
Authors: Kovácsné Magyari Hajnalka
Published: February 2021

A nőképek nem önmaguktól kialakuló eszmények, hanem a mindig aktuális politikai, gazdasági és társadalmi változások képződményei. A nőképek és nőideálok bár rokon értelemmel bírnak, nem fedik egymást. Míg a nőideálok kizárólag a külső szépségéről szólnak, addig a nőképek az aktuális női szerepeket propagálják. Tanulmányomban az államszocializmus propagált nőképeivel és a társadalom által teremtett szépségideálokkal foglalkozom, a témával releváns szakirodalom, a korabeli nőknek, illetve nőkről szóló folyóiratok, a nőábrázolással kapcsolatos vizuális nyomtatott források alapján. Hogyan alakult az államszocializmus évei alatt a hivatalos nőkép, és mennyire volt ez összhangban a társadalmi preferenciákkal? Mennyire képes mentalitásbeli változásokat hozni a politikai propaganda a nőképek terén? Mennyire szolgálták ezek a nőképek és nőideálok a társadalmon belül a nők érdekeit? Kutatásomban ezekre a kérdésekre keresem a választ és dolgozom fel a nőképek és nőideálok reprezentálódását az 1950-es évek traktoros lányaitól az 1980-as évek poszterlányaiig.
A visszafoglalt Baranyai háromszög főbb oktatási kérdései : Fókuszban az oktatásszervezés problémái a mohácsi gimnáziumban
Authors: Mohr Szilárd
Published: February 2021

A második világháborút megelőző és Magyarország háborús részvételét megelőző időszak területi gyarapodásával az ország lélekszáma is megnőtt. Ez azt is jelentette, hogy sok tanuló kapcsolódott be a magyar oktatási rendszerbe. Olyanok is, akik így iskoláikat egy másik ország oktatási rendszerében végezték, de szerettek volna továbbtanulni. Így történt ez a Délvidék visszafoglalása után is, ezzel együtt a baranyai háromszögben is. Jugoszlávia és Magyarország oktatási rendszerének hasonlóságai lehetővé tették a két különböző oktatási rendszeren történő gondtalan átlépést. Viszont számos különbség volt a tantárgyakban, különösképp a „nemzeti tantárgyak” esetében. A továbbtanulás vagy iskolaváltás viszont mégsem volt megoldhatatlan. A revízió előtti anyaországi iskolákban is tanulhattak a diákok, ehhez viszont egy különbözeti vizsgára volt szükség.
Mesélő fényképek : Szlatki Erazmus nyomában
Authors: Szabó Andrea
Published: February 2021

Jelen tanulmányom két, számomra legkedvesebb terület, a fotográfia és a történelem összefonódásából született. Anyai ági nagyszüleim halála után a ránk maradt tárgyak között 2019-ben az egyik elrejtett dobozból előkerült régi felvételen egy teljesen ismeretlen férfi szerepelt, kinek létezéséről családunkban addig senki sem tudott. Neve alapján néhai nagyapám – kihez vérségi rokonság nem köt – egyik felmenője lehetett. Kutatásom kiindulópontja ennyi volt tehát. Egy név és egy beosztás: Szlatki Erazmus, felügyelő. Végzett fotográfusként mindig is rajongtam az archaikus és analóg felvételi technikák iránt, és a korabeli műtermi fotográfiákról számos szakirodalmat elolvasva igyekeztem minden fellelt részletet felhasználva megírni Szlatki Erazmus történetét, csupán a róla készült fotográfiák – és az azokon szereplő apró információk – alapján.
A társadalmi munkamegosztás organikus fejlődése és sztereotípiákra épülő torzulása
Authors: Folmeg Márta
Published: February 2021

Tanulmányomban a társadalmi munkamegosztás organikus fejlődésével foglalkozom, különös tekintettel annak nemi sztereotípiákon alapuló torzulására. Kitérek arra, hogy a nemi sztereotípiák tükrözik-e a tényleges nemi különbségeket, és milyen biológiai különbségek befolyásolhatják a sikeres munkaerő-piaci helyzetet. Az előző évszázadokban a férfi és a nő közötti anatómiai különbségek kiaknázása nagymértékben hozzájárult az egyének és közösségek túléléséhez. Minden olyan tevékenységet férfiak végeztek, ahol fizikai erejük előnyt jelentett. A szocializáció ezeket a sztereotípiákat örökítette meg a kultúrában. Jelenleg társadalmunk technológiai és szellemi fejlődése már nem teszi szükségessé az anatómiai különbségek ilyen jellegű kiaknázását, de a kultúra lassabban változik, mint a technológia, így kultúránk továbbra is őrzi e klasszikus szerepek jellemzőit. A jelenlegi társadalmi feszültségeket az okozza, hogy a lassabban alkalmazkodó kultúránk sok szempontból ezeket a sztereotip nemi szerepeket konzerválja. Nincs igazolható bizonyíték arra, hogy egy vezetőnek mindenképpen férfinak kell lennie vagy férfias jegyeket kell hordoznia, kultúránkba mégis alapvetően ez van kódolva. Az egyenlőség megteremtése nem kellene, hogy a nemi identitás megszüntetését okozza. A férfiak és a nők nyilvánvalóan számtalan dologban különböznek egymástól, a probléma ott adódik, hogy ezek a különbségek gyakran különböző lehetőségeket jelentenek. Az egyenlőség biztosításának úgy kellene megvalósulnia, hogy a jogok olyan keretet nyújtsanak, amelyen belül az élet bármely területén mindkét nem tagjának egyenlő esélyei és lehetőségei vannak.
