The article deals with the problems of the demographic potential of the regions of Kazakhstan. Human resources are one of the most important factors in the socio-economic development of the country. During the period of establishing its independence, the Republic of Kazakhstan has undergone many reforms and crises. These changes had significantly influenced the demographic situation in the republic. Reproduction of the population in Kazakhstan is mainly characterized by a natural increase. However, in the 90s there was a large outflow of population to other countries due to the deterioration of the socio-economic situation. This situation has led to a demographic crisis, i.e. decrease in the birth rate, as well as to the uneven distribution of population by regions of the republic. The situation has improved since the beginning of 2000, starting in 2010, there has been a certain stability in the demographic situation, when the overall increase in the country was 1-2%. Given that this trend continues to this day, the question arises of which regions account for population growth and which regions are in the high-risk zone. As well as to identify the main factors that influence the demographic potential of the regions of Kazakhstan.

The purpose of this study is to identify problems in the field of demography in the regions of Kazakhstan.

The analysis was conducted on the data of the Statistics Committee of the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Initially, an analysis of structural shifts was carried out in population size by region, age structure of the republic’s population, the influence of the ethnic composition of regions on fertility was also considered, cluster analysis was used to divide regions by risk zones, as well as we considered the factors that affect fertility. An analysis of the results showed that regions with a predominate Kazakh and Turkic-speaking ethnic groups show a higher birth rate than regions where European ethnic groups are a majority; structural differences in population size and age composition become stronger with each period of differences; using cluster analysis, three zones were identified - a zone with low potential, which included eight regions, a medium-risk zone — we observe five regions, and a zone with high potential, which included three regions.

Research hypothesis: the demographic potential of a country depends on the ethnic composition and socio-economic condition of the regions.

The results of the study can be applied for research and analytical review. The research materials can be used in the development of regional development programs and the introduction of various approaches to the use of human resources and opportunities of each region.

The state autonomous cultural institution of the Moscow "Zaryadye Park" is the first park constructed in borders of the Boulevard ring, the new cultural driver of Moscow, a key link in network of walking routes around the Kremlin. The park was conceived as the platform for dialogue about story, natural wealth of Russia, science, art, about the future of Moscow and the country in general. The park is open for new people, the ideas and technologies and encourages interest in knowledge and innovations. Unlike other Moscow parks having extensive territories for the organization of recreational activity, Zaryadye has a number of features which form its originality: the small territory, multilevelness, the botanical collection showing the natural variety of Russia, media complexes which do not have analogs in Moscow, a wide range of scientific and educational programs. In the Zaryadye park for visitors various information booths are presented; media complexes; tourist information centers; showrooms; shops of souvenirs and gifts; cafe and bars; "Ice cave"; florarium; scientific and informative center "Reserved Embassy"; big amphitheater; concert hall; modern gastronomic food court.

The majority of exhibitions and actions in the park are devoted to natural wealth of Russia. Expositions mention, generally land world. In the Zaryadye Park there are practically no objects acquainting visitors with the richest water resources of our country.

Construction and development of an oceanarium are one of the most perspective and favorable directions of large business. Having appeared relatively recently, the oceanarium industry literally blew up the sphere of entertainments and quickly rose by business Olympus top. The world practice visually confirms high profitability of projects of construction of oceanariums.

Published: December 2022

The ongoing economic reforms in the CIS countries, including Kazakhstan, have highlighted the need for fundamental changes in the accounting practices as well. To achieve the objectives of developing market mechanisms, reforms in the accounting system should be put in the forefront. The need for drastic changes in the organization of accounting has been driven by the development of new economic relations between business entities in the context of transitioning from a centralized economic system to a market economy.

The process of development and implementation of new accounting regulations in Kazakhstan has been complicated by the lack of systematic studies on improving accounting in the conditions of market relations, the lack of research into ways of overcoming significant differences in the accounting systems that had historically evolved under a centralized system and market economy.

Published: December 2022

Despite the contribution of scientists to the development of the theory and practice of accounting in agricultural organizations on accounting and valuation of biological assets, it is not fully disclosed, which is associated with insufficient theoretical and methodological development of the problems of financial, tax and management accounting of biological assets and their assessment at fair value. The author determined the predicted values of the development of biological assets in agriculture in 2021 with the help of gross output, provided that the observed trend in the development of the factors included in the model-based correlation-regression analysis is maintained. Conclusions and recommendations for further accounting of biological assets in agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan are substantiated.

Published: December 2022

This paper reports the results of a study of young visitors’ intentions to visit the North Vidzeme Biosphere Reserve in Latvia (target audience Generation Z and Generation Y, 15–25-year-old youth—the oldest part of the Generation Z and the younger part of Generation Y have been studied). The integrated research method was used: an online survey was conducted for data collection (n=317) and focus group discussions and observations (three groups—two from Latvia and one from Estonia) were held to study youth traveling behaviour in the North Vidzeme Biosphere Reserve. Findings showed that most youth are highly motivated to visit biosphere reserve by push and pull factors and agreed that visiting the biosphere reserve relieves stress, helps them to socialize, and allows them to escape from their daily routine. Almost all respondents agreed that there was a lack of advertisements, information in foreign languages and visibility of the area, but they also stated that they would be more motivated to visit and revisit the biosphere reserve if they could see their friends visiting it and posting about it on social media. Research pointed out that there is significant difference between Generation Z and Generation Y in platforms used for searching for information, as well as required tourism infrastructure elements.

Authors: BLOSHENKO Tatiana Alekseevna , PONKRATOV Vadim Vitalievich , POZDNYAEV Andrey Sergeevich
Published: December 2022

The paper presents the methodology for identifying the differentiated Mineral Extraction Tax (MET) rates relating to the recovery of solid minerals. Experiments, aimed to find solutions to these tasks by using generalized gradient method, have shown that the objective functions may have more than one local extremum. In this respect, to calculate ad valorem MET rates, it is suggested to use evolutionary algorithms. The technogenic raw materials are currently of economic interest for the purpose of extraction of valuable components and production of finished goods. Moreover, sometimes the content of valuable components in technogenic deposits (TD) exceeds their content in natural fields to be processed. Secondary mineral resources bring harm to the ecosystem, yet it is impossible to insure the environmental risks due to the lack of objects of subsoil use. The differentiated rates are selected on the basis of maximum MET capacity on all the valuable components extracted from deposits provided that each deposit is considered to be an investment project for the stated problem.

Authors: HLAVOVÁ Natália
Published: December 2022

The aim of this paper is to identify the impact of natural resources on Human Development Index in the economies of sub-Saharan Africa. We begin with overview of some of the previous studies of natural resources and their impact on economic growth and other economic and non-economic indicators. Then we perform a regression analysis of the impact of the share of natural resources in total export on Human Development Index. The regression analysis showed that the higher share of natural resources in total export leads to the higher value of Human Development Index in the economies dependent on resource exports and has a negative effect in other economies.

Published: December 2022

The Russian economy is in crisis. In 2014, the Russian government has introduced a food sanctions. This caused a certain economic processes in agriculture, post-Soviet Russia. Now the problem of food security of Russia practically solved. The main figures of the Russian agrarian economy are large agricultural holdings. The value of small farms is reduced. However, the agrarian economy of post-Soviet Russia is on the verge of a new economic crisis associated with the termination of public investment. We discuss a new strategy to overcome the agrarian crisis in modern Russian economy. The most promising strategy is an increase in food imports in Asia and Africa. A food import to the EU is not possible, since the EU has great demands on the quality and safety of food imports.

Authors: MISHRA P. K. , SAHOO Debasis , ROUT Himanshu B. , CHAINI S. R. , KUMAR Pradip
Published: December 2022

In the BRICS region, international tourism is considered a significant contributor to employment, forex earnings, and gross domestic product. In this context, this study examined the impact of tourism on the growth of BRICS economies by employing PMG based ARDL panel data analysis technique over an augmented neo-classical growth model during a period from 1995 to 2019. The results support a positive impact of international tourism on the growth of BRICS nations when their levels of human development are controlled in the long run. So, this study adds another feather to the extant empirical evidence of the tourism-led growth hypothesis in the BRICS region. Therefore, the policies of tourism sector development/expansion can supplement in achieving an elevated real economic growth in BRICS economies.

Authors: HUSEYNLI Nigar
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this research is to establish the link between Kazakhstan's and Kyrgyzstan's international tourist income and economic development from 1998 to 2019. The Linear Regression Model was used to see whether there was a significant link between the dependent and independent variables, as well as how the variables influenced economic growth. The World Bank provided the data for the research, which included yearly data. A set of assumption tests were performed throughout the analytical phase to determine the model's relevance. The logarithm of the dependent variable was used to create the model. The inflation factors of variance (WIF) test were used to determine if the independent variables were unrelated to one another. Another assumption was used to determine the normal distribution of error terms: the Shapiro-Wilk W test.

A positive linear association was found between economic development and foreign tourist revenues in the nations studied, according to the results of a series of assumption tests and regression analysis. According to the results of the most recent regression study, the variables in both nations have a positive linear connection.

Published: December 2022

Since ancient times, people have traveled and exchanged goods, technology and ideas with neighboring settlements. The vast Eurasian continent has traditionally been a crossroads of trade routes, which helped create the increasingly famous Silk Road. Sea routes were created connecting East and West by water, which were mainly used for the trade in spices, which gave rise to the "spice route". Numerous road networks helped not only in the transportation of goods and luxury goods, but also in the transfer of knowledge, ideas, culture and beliefs, and had a great influence on the history and development of the Eurasian civilization, as well as the development of tourism and its various directions.

This research paper intends to provide an analysis covering countries near and far abroad in the field of tourism and travel, tourism policy with indicators of sustainability and comparison of indicators of sustainable consumption and production patterns. Summarizing the results obtained, we concluded about the potential areas for improvement in the tourism industry and proposed a new set of recommendations for their evaluation.

Published: December 2022

This study aims to determine the role model of local community participation in the post-pandemic Rinjani geopark sport tourism festival. The pandemic has caused a shift in tourism to focus on Nature, Eco, Wellness, and Adventure (NEWA). For this reason, the local community of Sembalun Village, a key gateway to an arduous trek up Mount Rinjani in West Nusa Tenggara Province, initiated a sport tourism event due to the natural resource potentials. Hence, this qualitative descriptive research unveils several motivations that underlie the festival's implementation, including economic, cultural, and natural environmental factors—a role model for local community participation based on these driving factors with a Bottom-Top approach.
Steering the Implementation of Urban Sustainability Projects: Implications for Policy
Authors: Di FOGGIA Giacomo
Published: December 2022

Air pollution and traffic congestion concerns many cities around the world, no exception for Europe where almost a third of urban citizens must cope with worrying levels of air pollution that exceed some of the European air quality standards. Urban deliveries generally contribute to problems such as pollution, noise, congestion and unsafe environments within cities. Conversely, if distribution vehicles would be used more efficiently, it should theoretically be possible to reduce the amount of vehicles in city centers. To make this to happen new solutions aimed at tackling long-standing ecological crises with rather innovative approach are required. Although with positive environmental and socio-economic impacts, many projects struggle when it comes to define a long-term plan for the development. In most cases, in fact, they cannot be self-financing because of economics of scale or scope.This paper proposes a framework aimed at providing policy recommendations when it comes to the development of sustainability projects in urban areas focusing of environmentally friendly vehicles. The paper outlines a number of available policy tools to tackle the organizational, technological economic difficulties. This is done taking into consideration the infrastructure required, the enabling technology and the governance in an effort to provide suggestions to set viable business model.

Published: December 2022

The tourism industry acquires special significance in the modern world economy. A growing number of countries become "active participants" in the development of world tourism; in many countries, the share of the tourism industry in the country's economy has increased significantly, which in turn increases the share of the tourism economy in the modern world economy. In this connection, the interest to the tourism development is obvious. It seems to be of high relevance to study, in particular, the domestic tourism, from the perspective of maintaining and developing the regional economies. The relevant problems of domestic tourism in the Chuvash Republic are reflected herein based on the scientific study. The necessity of manifestation in modern conditions of an active regional policy in the tourist industry by the state and municipal authorities of Chuvashia is substantiated. The recommendations for enhancement of the efficiency of actions in the field of tourism taken by the regional authorities, aimed at improving the level of competitiveness of the republican tourist product in the domestic and international tourist markets, are proposed.

Published: December 2022

This study analyzed the tourism development policy in promoting the economic growth, by means of the cultural tourism and nature tourism approach. This far, a tourism development policy has not been able to maximally promote the economic growth through regulation as outlined in the development plan, based on the stages of the preparation of the agenda, the formulation, the adoption, the implementation and the evaluation. This study used regression analysis with Amos towards 400 samples. Whilst the method used was the qualitative method. The implementation of the results derived from the five variables always yields the negative results below 0.05, i.e. -0.29 on the link between variables, -0.361 on the link between the parameters of indicators, and -0.187 on the partial link. Whilst the total link between the evaluation variables of the economic growth was not significant, which means that the implementation of tourism policy in order to promote the economic growth by means of the approach of cultural tourism and nature tourism was inconsistent with the preparation of the policy agenda, the adoption, the formulation and the evaluation. This study concluded that a review is needed to be done, hence the implementation could properly materialize, such as the placement of people in a proper place, followed by the improvement of the policy evaluation on the whole.
A Glance at Solow’s Growth Theory
Authors: Schilir`o Daniele
Published: December 2022

This article examines  the growth theory of Robert Solow1 , which has been a point of reference of economic growth since  the 1950s.  First,  the article  analyzes the  path-breaking  model  of  growth contained  in Solow’s  article  “A Contribution  to the Theory  of  Economic Growt”  published  in  The Quarterly Journal of Economics (1956).  Second,  it looks at the contribution  of Solow to growth accounting  and to the new method of studying capital formation  in economic growth through the vintage ap- proach.  Therefore, the work analyzes the article  “Technical Change and the Aggregate Production  Function”  published in The Review of Economics and Statistics (1957). In the latter  publication,  Solow,  through the aggregate  production  function,  tries  to measure  growth and provide  an explanation  of the nature of technical  progress.   The article  also examines  Solow’s 1960 essay “Investment  and Technical Progress”  based on the hypothesis  of embodied  technological  progress  and the vintage approach.
Diminishing Marginal Utility and the Teaching of Economics: A Note
Authors: TODOROVA Tamara
Published: December 2022

This paper discusses how utility can be taught in undergraduate courses in microeconomics so that to illustrate total and marginal utility, the law of diminishing marginal utility, and consumer rationality. Diminishing marginal utility is essential in describing rational consumer behavior, overconsumption, and oversaturation to students of economics. We demonstrate a quadratic and a logarithmic total utility with the subsequent forms and shapes of marginal utility. From what it seems there is no contradiction between diminishing marginal utility in the univariate context of consuming one good and the indifference curve as the multivariate case of two goods consumed.
Reporting and Interpreting Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA): Adopting the Best Practices in Educational Research
Authors: NTUMI Simon
Published: December 2022

There is seemingly anonymity and observation among consumers of educational research that multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) is one of the most predominant and commonly used statistical models for the analysis of data in the discipline of education. Despite the large use of MANOVA in research studies, most research practitioners within the educational research trail still face difficulties in reporting and meaningfully interpreting MANOVA results.  In analysis, multivariate analysis of variance tests for two or more independent variables and two or more dependent variables. In practice, the one-way multivariate analysis of variance is used to determine whether there are any differences between independent groups on more than one continuous dependent variable. This paper provides a data driven example of reporting and interpreting presentation of multivariate analysis of variance for consumers of research by capitalizing on how it can be reported and interpreted using the APA format. In the paper, the researcher used an example data-driven set throughout the write up to illustrate how MANOVA is reported and interpreted in educational studies. The paper emphasized that if researchers do not run the statistical tests on assumptions of using MANOVA correctly, the accrued results that will be might not be valid. These could therefore have structural effects on the conclusions and implications that will be drawn from the analysis. The paper concludes with remarks that throws more lights and emphasis on the relevant and consequent implications of using MANOVA in educational studies.

Активное долголетие в России в условиях экономической стагнации: что показывает динамика индекса активного долголетия?
Authors: Синявская Оксана Вячеславовна , Червякова Анна Александровна
Published: December 2022

Статья посвящена оценке международного индекса активного долголетия (ИАД) на российских данных за 2010—2019 гг. и обсуждению полученных результатов. Рассматриваются динамика ИАД в России относительно стартового года измерения (2010), ограничения ИАД и возможности включения в него дополнительных индикаторов. Эмпирической базой исследования выступили данные выборочных наблюдений Росстата за указанные годы (Комплексное наблюдение условий жизни населения, Выборочное наблюдение доходов населения и некоторые другие). Показано, что в 2010-е годы потенциал активного долголетия в России, измеряемый ИАД, практически не изменился. Ахиллесовой пятой российского старения по-прежнему остаются низкая продолжительность жизни и плохое здоровье, усугубляющееся снижением доступности медицинской и стоматологической помощи и невысокой физической активностью. К сильным сторонам активного долголетия в методологии ИАД относится высокий уровень достигнутого образования и физическая безопасность, ситуация с которой заметно улучшилась. Некоторые потенциально сильные аспекты активного долголетия, как, например, уход за внуками, плохо измеряются российскими данными в динамике. Показано также, что индикатор независимого проживания не вполне хорошо измеряет автономность пожилых людей. В статье обозначены ограничения ИАД, связанные с операционализацией активного долголетия, смещающей акцент на продуктивные виды деятельности и не учитывающей, например, досуговые активности, доступность помощи для людей.

Published: December 2022

Background: Nutrition screening tools are necessary to predict the risk of malnutrition for cancer patients. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the validity of nutrition screening tools in identifying malnutrition among cancer patients.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 175 oncology patients in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital. Malnutrition risk of participants was screened using Nutrition Risk Screening (NRS) 2002, Simple Nutrition Screening Tool (SNST), Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST), Nutriscore, and the Royal Marsden Nutrition Screening Tool (RMNST). Patient Generated-Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) was used as a gold standard. Nutritional assessments, including Body Mass Index (BMI), Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), albumin, hemoglobin, Total Leucocytes Count (TLC), and Hand Grip Strength (HGS), were used to evaluate nutritional status.Results: The NRS 2002, SNST, MST, Nutriscore and RMNST identified nutritional risk in 64.6%; 58.9%; 49.1%; 30.3%; 84.6%, respectively. The SNST obtained the highest level of AUC discrimination (0.8) compared to NRS 2002 (0.7); MST (0.7); Nutriscore (0.7); and RMNST (0.7). There was a significant association between nutrition screening with nutritional parameters except for TLC (P>0.005). Patients who were at risk of malnutrition had a lower average of objective assessment tools.Conclusion: All the nutritional screenings were valid to screen for malnutrition risk among cancer patients. Nutritional screening has a strong correlation with nutritional assessment. The lower risk detected by nutrition screening, the poorer the nutrition status measured by nutrition assessments.

High Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy in the Emergency Department: Main Benefits in Adults, Pediatric Population and against COVID-19: A Narrative Review
Authors: Esteban-Zubero Eduardo , García-Muro Cristina , Alatorre-Jiménez Moisés Alejandro , Johal Vickramjeet , López-García Carlos Arturo , Marín-Medina Alejandro
Published: December 2022

This review aims to summarize the literature’s main results about high flow nasal cannula therapy (HFNC) HFNC benefits in the Emergency Department (ED) in adults and pediatrics, including new Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). HFNC has recently been established as the usual treatment in the ED to provide oxygen support. Its use has been generalized due to its advantages over traditional oxygen therapy devices, including decreased nasopharyngeal resistance, washing out of the nasopharyngeal dead space, generation of positive pressure, increasing alveolar recruitment, easy adaptation due to the humidification of the airways, increased fraction of inspired oxygen and improved mucociliary clearance. A wide range of pathologies has been studied to evaluate the potential benefits of HFNC; some examples are heart failure, pneumonia, chronic pulmonary obstructive disease, asthma, and bronchiolitis. The regular use of this oxygen treatment is not established yet due to the literature’s controversial results. However, several authors suggest that it could be useful in several pathologies that generate acute respiratory failure. Consequently, the COVID-19 irruption has generated the question of HFNC as a safety and effective treatment. Our results suggested that HFNC seems to be a useful tool in the ED, especially in patients affected by acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, acute heart failure, pneumonia, bronchiolitis, asthma and acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients affected by COVID-19. Its benefits in hypercapnic respiratory failure are more discussed, being only observed benefits in patients with mild-moderate disease. These results are based in clinical as well as cost-effectiveness outcomes. Future studies with largest populations are required to confirm these results as well as establish a practical guideline to use this device.
What Drives Lending Inquisitors’ Judgement & Decision-Making: Behavioural Factors Analysis through Kruskal–Wallis & Fuzzy AHP
Authors: Kaur Sandeepa , Singh Simarjeet
Published: December 2022

The present study investigates what drives Lending inquisitors’ judgement & decision-making behaviour that influences credit risk assessment in Indian banks. This research investigates three aspects: risk attitude & information acquisition behaviour, the effect of experience on lending, and desirable attributes of lending inquisitors. For the first area, Kruskal–Wallis non-parametric test is applied, for second area correlation and Cramer’s V is applied on fictitious case analysis and for third aspect 27 attributes of inquisitors through unstructured personal interviews are then analysed by applying Kruskal Wallis Test, Factor analysis and Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP). Fuzzy AHP technique was applied to understand the key personal attributes and sub-attributes, which play a major role in Lending inquisitors’ judgement & decision-making behaviour. The risk attitude and information acquisition provided no substantial relationship between the two. Whereas, in the second area, which is assessing the impact of experience on decision-making behaviour, the result shows that the senior and junior credit inquisitors are cautious in acquiring the information as compared to outsourced credit inquisitors.

Titel suggeriert ein contradictio in adiecto, einen Widerspruch in sich. Wie kann ein Tempel des Wissens und der Bildungschancen sich der Bildung selbst gegenüber abhold verhalten? Wissen und Bildung im Hause zu haben, bedeutet – so die These – nicht zwangsläufig, dass man sich für Bildung in den eigenen Reihen einsetzen muss! Schritt für Schritt soll die provozierende These eine Erläuterung erfahren und mindestens ein Weg aus der deplorablen Lage aufgezeigt werden. Dieser Weg folgt der Markierung, aktiver als bislang in die Fort- und Weiterbildung zu investieren und ggf. die Rahmenbedingungen dafür zu modifizieren. Der Beitrag setzt gleichfalls voraus, dass Bibliotheken ihre Rolle als Partner ihrer jeweiligen Zielgruppen aktiv annehmen und mitgestalten wollen, nicht nur, aber auch auf der Woge tatsächlich und prognostiziert voranschreitender Automatisierung und Digitalisierung.1
Studium und Ausbildung als Projekt: Zur Zukunft des bibliothekarischen Berufsfeldes
Authors: Altenhöner Reinhard
Published: December 2022

Zurückgehende Absolvent:innenzahlen einerseits, Schwierigkeiten bei der Besetzung von Stellen andererseits bei gleichzeitig hohem Personalbedarf in Bibliotheken sind miteinander verschränkte Entwicklungen, die ein Überdenken von Ausbildung und Studium erfordern. Der Beitrag versteht sich als Impuls und verzichtet daher auf einen systematischen Überblick zur laufenden Debatte, er wird zum Teil zum Plädoyer. Aus dem Blickwinkel einer großen und traditionell in den verschiedenen Zweigen der Ausbildung engagierten Bibliothek nimmt der Beitrag in einer ersten Annäherung eine Situationsanalyse vor, erweitert dann den Betrachtungsraum auf das Prinzip Bibliothek, um dann Anforderungsprofile an zukünftige Mitarbeitende und an die Ausbildungsstellen zu diskutieren. Im abschließenden Resümee wird deutlich, dass das Prinzip der Spartenspezifik in der Ausbildung, dass die Bibliotheken traditionell ausgeprägt haben, in die Zukunft hinein nicht mehr trägt.
Evolution of the Viscoelastic Transition with In-Field Aging of Bituminous Surfacing Treatments
Authors: Goosen Elaine Simone , Jenkins Kim Jonathan
Published: December 2022

The beneficial properties of bitumen deteriorate with oxidation-induced age-hardening. At intermediate temperatures or stiffness values, hardening may lead to fatigue failure. Current binder selection processes for bituminous surfacing treatments depend on penetration and softening point values and the degree of aging these properties experience in the intended environment. In the context of transitioning engineering knowledge to performance grades, there is a need for research to determine which fundamental properties may help select an appropriate binder for specific traffic and climatic conditions. The study extracted and recovered binders from bituminous surfacing treatments between the ages of 1 and 22 years. These binders were subjected to frequency sweeps and creep tests with the dynamic shear and bending beam rheometers, respectively. Various durability indicators are calculated from the raw data and master curves. The evolution of these parameters is analyzed for increased surfacing age and environmental exposure. The results of the viscoelastic transition temperature (Tvet) and modulus (Gvet), and crossover frequency (ωc) are presented and indicate correlations with surfacing age when grouped by surfacing type and environmental conditions.
Different Algorithmic Models Underlie Virtue and Vice Attributions
Authors: Barbosa Sergio , Jiménez-Leal William
Published: December 2022

One of the most pressing questions in social psychology is how people update character attributions about other people considering novel information. A possible way to tackle this question is to algorithmically model trait attribution updating and confront it to how people actually update character attributions. Here, we present, parameterize, and empirically test several Bayesian and averaging models of character-based moral judgment over multiple pieces of morally relevant or distractor information. Taken as a whole, results from two experiments suggest that virtue and vice attributions follow different algorithms. Depending on the structure of received information virtue and vice attributions can follow differently weighted Bayesian algorithms or average-based models. We discuss these results in light of both classic findings in moral psychology and cognitive sciences in general.
Pre-soaking foxtail millet seeds with oligosaccharides enhances germination and seedling growth under PEG-induced osmotic stress
Authors: Han Wei , Tanveer Mohsin , Jiang Li , Wang Lei
Published: December 2022

Foxtail millet is a multipurpose crop and is widely cultivated in dry areas of Asia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of oligosaccharide priming on foxtail millet seeds during germination under osmotic stress. Germination percentage and seedling shoot and root lengths
were not affected by 5% polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000). However, osmotic stress (15% and 25% PEG) dramatically decreased seed germination and other parameters. Under 15% PEG, pre-soaking seeds with low to moderate concentrations (0.1-10 mg L-1) of oligosaccharides had a positive
effect on the germination percentage, germination index, shoot length and root length. Thus, the negative effects of osmotic stress on seed germination and seedling growth could be alleviated by oligosaccharide priming treatments, especially at a 1 mg L-1 concentration. These results
suggest that oligosaccharides can dramatically improve the osmotic tolerance ability of foxtail millet seeds and seedlings.

Flora biodiversity has been known to have a vital function in reducing carbon emissions in the air and contributing oxygen in significant levels to the environment. PT. Pertamina (Persero) Fuel Terminal Boyolali (FTB) has an important role in the conservation programs, protection of flora biodiversity, and environmental management. This study aims to analyze carbon stocks found in trees, plants cover soil, litter, necromas, and carbon in the soil and evaluate conservation of flora. This study uses a purposive random sampling method of carbon sources followed by the determination of carbon stocks in three conservation areas managed by PT. FTB, namely in the Wonopotro Forest, in the Pepe River watershed, and Pertamina's operational area. The samples from carbon sources include trees, litter, ground cover plants, necromas, and soil. The trees and necromas carbon sources sampling at each location was carried out at 2 stations with a size of 10 x 50 m2. Meanwhile, the sampling of litter, ground cover plants, and soil was carried out at 2 stations, each consisting of 3 plots. The results showed that the total carbon stock in the conservation areas was 1,688,0791 tons. The Pepe River watershed has the highest total carbon stock, which was 1,466,0928 tons/ha. The FTB and Wonopotro Forest, respectively, have about 180.7569 and 41.2294 tons/ha. The novelty of this research is the method of calculating carbon stocks in a conservation area that can be used as a database for assessing environmental management performance to the preservation of biological resources.

Published: December 2022

Potato has the potential for food diversification.The propagation method in a short period is needed. One of the methods used is plant tissue culture. Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP), determine the success of propagation by tissue culture method. This research aimed to study the use of different BAP concentrations for callus development from stem explants. The explants put on culture medium added by 0, 1, 2, 3 ppm BAP. The development of the stem explant observed every week for a month. The results showed that callus formed in all media. Without BAP treatment, callus were formed after 2 weeks and got browning, then stopped growing. Callus grew and showed differentiation by application of all the BAP concentration. Callus greowth was optimally at 2 ppm BAP treatment. The callus from 1 ppm BAP produced the most number of roots, shoots and leaves than another concentration.  This experiment showed that different BAP concentrations affected callus development of S. tuberosum from stem explant. The conclusion was callus growth has obtained by the treatment of 2 ppm BAP, while the development of callus has obtained on addition of 1 ppm BAP. The novelty of this research is the callus induction method from potato sprout stems grown from potato seeds with plant growth regulators Benzyl Amino Purine. Callus induction method from potato sprout stems grown from potato seeds can be a guide for embryogenic callus induction.
