Published: September 2020

A survey study was conducted to assess the major insect pests of mango and their control measures at farmers’ level in Shurunga Municipality of Saptari district, Nepal. Madhupatti, Kushaha, Shripur and Haripur of the Shurunga Municipality were selected for the study. From these areas 120 household samples were selected randomly. Primary data were collected using semi-structured questionnaire, focus group discussion and key informant interview whereas secondary data were obtained through a review of relevant literatures. Thus obtained data were analyzed using statistical software that involved both descriptive and analytical statistics. Mango hopper was identified as the most common insects followed by the mango mealy bug, red banded caterpillar, mango stem borer and mango fruit fly in terms of occurrence and damage in orchard of study area. It was found that orchard having high insect severity also had high yield loss. Malda variety of mango was identified as the most susceptible variety to insect attack while local variety, “Sahari” was identified as the least susceptible to insect attack. Majority of the respondent (91.70%) relied on use of chemical insecticide to control insects. The number of respondents having more than two spray of insecticide in their orchard was very high (78). Ploughing of the orchard as a means of insect pest control was carried out by about 85.83% of respondents, while only 32.50% of respondents performed field sanitation as cultural measures of insect control. About 54.20% of respondent knew about bio-pesticide but only 10% of the respondents used bio-pesticide in their orchard.

Genotype x environment interaction analysis in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Authors: Rawal Dipendra , Tomar Amit , Singh Mahak
Published: September 2020

The results of genotype x environment interaction analysis revealed highly significant mean squares due to genotypes as well as environments for all the characters which indicated presence of substantial differences among the genotypes as well as environments for all the eleven characters. The environment linear (E-L) component was also significant for all the characters indicating that the six environments can be graded linearly for their differences in influencing the expression of characters of wheat genotypes. The mean squares due to genotype x environment interaction were also highly significant for all the characters except days to heading, plant height, effective tillers per plant and total number of tillers per plant to suggest important role of g x e interaction in expression of most of the characters in wheat. The linear component of g x e interaction was significant for all the characters which indicated good possibility of predicting linear responses of genotypes for all the characters under study. Thus, there would be ample possibility of discriminating the genotypes for above average, below average and average linear responses to predict their performances in changing environments under study. The significance of non-linear component (pooled deviation) of g x e interactions for all characters except ear length suggested that considerable number of genotypes may exhibit unpredictable and unstable mean performance for different characters across environments even defying their prediction on the basis of linear sensitivity coefficient.

Due to rapid growth of infrastructure development activities, the available sources of natural material like sand are getting exhausted at very fast rate. The only way is to search alternative materials. In place of sand, materials like stone dust can be used which possess similar properties like sand. Cement with ground granulated impact heater slag (GGBS) substitution has risen as a significant option in contrast to regular concrete and has quickly drawn the solid business consideration because of its concrete investment funds, vitality reserve funds, and cost reserve funds, natural and financial advantages. In the current test examination an exertion is made to measure the quality of GGBS and stone residue at different substitution levels and assess its efficiencies concerning concrete. The results have demonstrated the positive outcomes with respect to the mechanical properties of concrete.

En este número de Perspectivas Demográficas examinamos la incidencia de estas causas sobre la sostenibilidad demográfica del sistema y el efecto que distintos escenarios de mortalidad, fecundidad y migración exterior podrían tener en el futuro. Las condiciones demográficas del pasado, muy favorables para el sistema, no se repetirán en el futuro, pero la demografía que viene no debería ser obstáculo para mantener un sistema de pensiones basado en la idea de reparto, sostenible, solidario y suficiente.
After the COVID-19 crisis: Why higher education may (and perhaps should) never be the same
Authors: Kalantzis Mary , Cope Bill
Published: September 2020

Universities and colleges have dragged their feet making the move to online teaching and learning. Suddenly, with this COVID-19 crisis, everyone had to move online. Few universities or colleges are prepared for such a rapid shift. Meanwhile, the conventional wisdom remains - the gold-standard for learning is traditional face-to-face, while online is second-best. But perhaps, even without COVID-19, in-person learning is ripe for radical transformation. At the University of Illinois, we’ve been researching this transformation, and developing and testing online learning solutions. Simply put, online can be completely different, and with the right tools, potentially much superior to in-person teaching. To reap the benefits of online learning, we need to abandon the current generation educational technologies—systems and processes that mostly do little more than reverse-engineer traditional classrooms.

INTANGÍVEIS E PREÇOS DE TRANSFERÊNCIA: VEDAÇÕES E NECESSIDADES DO CONTROLE
Authors: Dias Júnior Antônio Augusto Souza
Published: September 2020

Este artigo busca estabelecer uma comparação entre o conceito de intangíveis da OCDE para fins de controle dos preços de transferência e as leis tributárias brasileiras que tratam de bens e direitos que poderiam se enquadrar nesse conceito. Uma vez que a legislação tributária brasileira não possui uma definição expressa do conceito de intangíveis, cumpre investigar as disposições pertinentes a fim de identificar quais intangíveis, segundo a OCDE, podem ser classificados no art. 18, § 9º, da Lei n. 9.430/1996, que veda o controle de preços de transferência nas operações de importação envolvendo royalties e assistência técnica, científica, administrativa ou assemelhada. Desse modo, será possível identificar os intangíveis que se amoldam ao conceito da OCDE e que podem ser objeto de controle de preços de transferência segundo a legislação tributária brasileira.

Authors: Morato Caio César
Published: September 2020

Uma das principais preocupações do sistema tributário internacional está relacionada ao deslocamento dos rendimentos das empresas multinacionais entre países a fim de reduzir artificialmente a sua carga tributária por meio da manipulação de disposições legais e dos tratados em matéria tributária. Outra preocupação é a competição entre países para atrair a tributação dos rendimentos deslocados. Diante desse cenário a Ação 6 do BEPS foi apresentada pela OCDE com sugestões para que os Estados ajustem suas convenções internacionais de forma a evitar esses problemas. Neste trabalho nos debruçaremos sobre os possíveis reflexos destas recomendações no sistema tributário brasileiro.

Published: September 2020

The article is devoted to the definition of the basic principles of creating a visual message, the adherence to which contributes to the effectiveness of its influence on the target audience. In the context of Russia's hybrid war against Ukraine, counter-terrorism issues are more urgent than ever. In light of world research in psychology, the effectiveness of perceiving information depends, in particular, on the dominant channel of perception (audio, visual, kinesthetic). However, the results of a number of psychological experiments in the field of visual perception have shown that it is better to understand, memorize and reproduce the information we receive through our visual channels. Modern research of social problems leads to understanding - the world has become visual. Man of our time is under constant influence of visual content. So reporting to the consciousness of the necessary information effectively through this channel. Thus, the very visual message is an effective tool for counterpropaganda and for informing the population in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The result of the research is based on the study of the peculiarities of the visual perception of information about the world and, related to this, the possibilities of using two-dimensional space in the interests of creating products of psychological influence. In addition, an analysis was conducted of the psychological effect of color on the human subconscious, the emotiogenic structure of color combinations, the psychological effects of symbolic coding of information, general rules of composition, examples of successful graphic marketing. In forming practical recommendations for the implementation of the proposed principles, general publishing approaches to the creation of printed visual products, the technological features of different types of media, the effectiveness of distribution channels for products of psychological influence and the results of the analysis of the target audience were taken into account.

Published: September 2020

The article discusses the process of creating psychological influence products. The characteristics for the creation of these materials are given. An analysis algorithm of target audience is proposed, which acts as the main object for the implementation of the supporting goal of a psychological operation (action). The algorithm presupposes the sequential execution of the following steps: definition and refinement of the specifications of the target audience; calculation of the target audience effectiveness; identifying the causes and consequences of existing behavior of the target audience; description of vulnerabilities of the target audience; determination of the target audiences’ susceptibility; development of arguments and recommendations for a psychological operation (action); clarification of the primary criteria for evaluation of the target audience. The block diagram of the automation process algorithm of creating psychological influence products is provided in the article. According to the presented algorithm, specialized software has been developed and involves step-by-step filling of the relevant points of the program, taking into account the methodology which is used in the units of psychological operations of the NATO armed forces. The result of the specialized software’s work is the concept of creation of the printed psychological influence product. In addition, at the stage of designing of the printed psychological influence products, there is a database which contains ready-made materials and reference information which serve as the examples. There are two groups of criteria that are used while extending the database: the first group characterizes the psychological (manipulative) component of the psychological influence products, the second – the rules for its design in terms of perception (attention) of the target audience.
Expert Opinions on Foreign Law in Court: Applied Comparative Law in the Munich Institute for East European Law
Authors: Küpper Herbert
Published: September 2020

Comparative law has many facets. It often consists of basic research for academic purposes, but it may have a practical side as well. A genuine combination of basic and applied comparative legal research are expert opinions on foreign law for a domestic court. The expert researcher has to fully comprehend the foreign law on the books as well as in action, and has to be able to translate this foreign law into the legal background of the domestic court and into the procedural setting of the law-suit at hand. Taking the ‘Munich Institute for East European Law’ as an example, this essay describes the continuous basic research as a prerequisite for expertise on foreign law, as well as the practice of writing expert opinions for courts of law and authorities with regard to the law of the formerly socialist countries in Europe.
Limited Liability Companies in Slovenia
Authors: Dugar Gregor
Published: September 2020

The basic legal source for Slovenian corporate law is the Companies Act (Slovenian Zakon o gospodarskih družbah (ZGD-1)), which regulates among Limited Liability Companies (LLC) as well as other commercial companies. Slovenian legislators took the German LLC as a framework when regulating the Slovenian LLC. LLCs are widely established in Slovenia primarily because they can be founded with relatively little capital (7,500 EUR) and the members are not personally liable for the LLC’s debts. An LLC may also be formed by only one natural or legal person, therefore it has become very popular in Slovenia among entrepreneurs who want to conduct business solo, but don’t want to be liable for any debt incurred by the LLC. This article presents the concept of the LLC and its regulation in Slovenian legislation.
Limited Liability Companies in Croatia
Authors: Jurić Dionis , Braut Filipović Mihaela
Published: September 2020

This article aims to provide an overview of the main features of the limited liability company (hereinafter: LLC) in Croatia. LLCs are the most common company type in Croatian business practices. This is because of low amounts of minimum share capital, limited liability of shareholders, freedom of shareholders to regulate own internal relations and the LLC’s internal organization, which is regulated by the articles of association and holds fewer formalities to function. Interestingly, most LLCs are established as a single shareholder LLC, followed by two and three shareholders LLCs. This supports the finding that Croatian LLCs are often closely held companies, whose founders also act as directors and employees of the company. Since 2012, it is possible to form a simple LLC for a minimum share capital of 10 KN (cca. 1.32 EUR), and as of 2020, LLCs can even be established online. Thus, the simplicity and cost effectiveness to establish an LLC remain its primary advantage. Mandatory provisions that shareholders must respect are inter alia capital requirements and capital maintenance, formation, and competencies of the management board and shareholders’ meeting. The shareholders’ meeting is superordinate to other LLC bodies, allowing directors to be appointed and dismissed at any time. Shares are alienable and inheritable, but their transfer may be limited by the LLC’s articles of association. In certain cases, shareholders can be held personally liable for the LLC’s obligations (e.g., in the event of abuse of limited liability, partial payment of capital contributions, and the LLC’s dissolution without liquidation). Further specifics and current challenges of LLCs in Croatia will be analysed in detail.

Reinforced by the average of pretest result in cycle 1 is 54,16 while for result of postest for cycle I is 71,25, mean that in cycle I mean result of student learning up 17,09%, while for postest cycle II average 80.4 means that in cycle II the average of student learning outcomes up 9.15%. Based on the data, if the average pretest of cycle I is 54,16 and posttest result of cycle II 80,4 then the average increase of student learning result from pretest cycle I until post cycle II is 26,24%. Thus it can be concluded that using the Think Talk Write (TTW) model can improve student learning outcomes. So it is recommended for teachers related to education to apply and develop the Think Talk Write (TTW) learning model as an alternative in improving student learning outcomes.
IMPLEMENTASI PENDEKATAN PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS STUDENT CENTERED LEARNING
Authors: Bahrudin Febrian Alwan
Published: September 2020

This research is about the Learning Implementation using  The ‘Student Centered Learning’ Base in the Pancasila and Citizenship Education Department, the learning process activity can be divided into two types of approaches, such as the learning approach with ‘Teacher Centered Learning’ (TCL) base, and with the ‘Student Centered Learning’ (SCL) base. The approach of learning using the ‘Teacher Centered Learning’(TCL) base is an activity in which the lecturer becomes the main subject in the process of learning, and within the learning process using the ‘Teacher Centered Learning’ (TCL) the lecturer will be a lot more active than the students and thus have a much more important role in this method when it comes to giving the materials for learning. In the ‘Teacher Centered Learning’ (TCL) base method, students tend to be much less active in the learning process, whereas the ‘Student Centered Learning’ (SCL) is a method that gives the students the chance to be active in the process, or in this case, the students are now the main subject of the learning process. The approach of this research is based on qualitative approach and also using descriptive study method. The implementation of learning using the ‘Student Centered Learning’ (SCL) is done through several stages, beginning with planning, execution, and ends with evaluation. In the planning stage the lecturer prepares the administrative part of learning, in which includes making lesson plan, and preparing things that support the learning process, such as media, learning resources, or other innovations that supports learning. This stage of the learning process aims to determine the initial steps so that the learning process can run effectively and efficiently, the making of the lesson plan which positions the students to have a much more dominant role than lecturers is a form of learning using the ‘Student Centered Learning’ (SCL) method, in this stage the implementation of learning makes the students take more part in the learning process compared to lecturers, students are required to be active and creative in the learning process, in this activity the use of learning media is very helpful to be able to implement student centered learning. Student's active role can be applied through class presentations about the material being discussed, besides that the use of electronic-based learning or e-learning has been applied in the Department of Pancasila and Citizenship Education. The last stage is the closing stage where the usual thing to do is to reflect on the learning that has been done with the intent to evaluate so students and lecturers can determine learning improvements at the next meeting.
