ON SOME HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF INTER-ETHNIC RELATIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA, THE UKRAINE AND POLAND
Authors: Kononenko Viktor M. , Pritulina Olesya V.
Published: December 2020

The article substantiates the conditions of Russia’s revival as a world power. The necessity of conducting social and humanitarian research and allocating budget funds for these purposes is reinforced. Considerable attention is paid to the problems in Russian-Ukrainian relations, related primarily to unification of Russia and the Ukraine during the Pereyaslavl Rada of 1654, which were not focused on in Soviet history and which has been given excessive attention in the recent history of the Ukraine, which ultimately contributed to worsening of relations between the two former fraternal republics. The article indicated the reasons why the Ukrainian landowners, despite severe oppression for national and religious reasons on the part of the Polish szlachta, did not very much seek to separate from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and constantly betrayed Russia in its war with the Polish-Lithuanian state, including that for the Ukraine itself. Some forms of executions that the Poles applied to the rebelled Cossacks and peasants of the Ukraine are indicated, as well as some liberties of the Polish szlachta, which were so attractive to the Ukrainian landowners. The article shows the assessment of the Kobzar T.G. Shevchenko, which was given by him to the leader of the national liberation war of the Ukrainian people Bogdan Khmelnytsky, as well as his assessment of the decisions of the Pereyaslavl Rada.
SOME FACTORS ABOUT FORMATION OF THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SOCIAL STRATUM IN THE KAMA-VYATKA REGION OF THE 18th – EARLY 20th CENTURY
Authors: Ligenko Nelli P.
Published: December 2020

The article discusses the main determinants of successful entrepreneurship development in an individual provincial region of the country. Favorable natural-geographical and socio-economic conditions contributed to relatively early inclusion of the region into the development of a single all-Russian commodity market, and later a capitalist market. On the one hand, the set of necessary factors contributed to the involvement of a wide stratum of peasantry in the processes of initial accumulation of capital and the formation of the local entrepreneurial social stratum. It should be noted that the establishment of a solid, sustainable trade and industrial economy by dynasty took place, as a rule, during 150 years. On the other hand, favorable conditions for investment attracted the attention of the foreign bourgeoisie. These ways of entrepreneurship development determined that active, talented, educated, business people who knew how to think large-scale, risk-capable and possessed high adaptive qualities were concentrated in the Kama-Vyatka region. The entrepreneurial stratum played a large role in the socio-economic and cultural development of the province.
LITTLE-KNOWN PAGES OF THE BALTIC FLEET PARTICIPATION IN LENINGRAD’S DEFENSE
Authors: Balashov Aleksei I. , Lushin Aleksandr I.
Published: December 2020

The relevance of the article is due to the fact that the domestic historiography rather weakly covers the participation of the Baltic Fleet tactical formations in the defense of Leningrad. As a rule, special attention is paid to the tragic events of the first weeks of the Great Patriotic War and to the loss of a significant part of the Baltic Fleet ships. In this regard, the proposed article focuses on the history of the defending Tallinn, the Moonsund Islands, the Hanko Island, as well as on the participation of the Baltic Fleet artillery units and formations in checking the advancing Wehrmacht parts. Special attention is paid to the role of Leningrad in the history of the Great Patriotic War. St. Petersburg was the capital of the Russian Empire for over two centuries. With its embankments of the Neva River, bridges, the Hermitage, the Winter Palace and dozens of other unique structures, it was not only the capital for two centuries but its largest cultural center as well. No Russian city causes such a multitude of literary associations as St. Petersburg, and then Leningrad. The siege of the city, where more than a million people died, was unlike any of the tragedies of this war. Sieging Leningrad in September 1941 the fascists condemned almost three million people to starvation; more than a third of them died of starvation and exhaustion, but did not surrender to the fascists. A significant amount of scientific literature, journalistic, memories, etc. are devoted to the coverage of the heroic battle for Leningrad. However, there are still quite a few pages of this war that, in our view, have not received sufficient coverage in domestic historiography.

Müzelerde Markalaşma ve Kurumsal Kimlik
Authors: ÖZRİLİ Yaşar
Published: December 2020

Müzelerde markalaşmayı zorunlu hale getiren en önemli parametre özel müzeciliğin başlaması ve bu müze grubundakilerin sayıca çoğalmaları neticesinde onları ayakta tutacak kendi mali gerçeklerini kontrol altında tutabilme tablosudur. Daha sonra bu oluşuma katılan diğer bir takım kamu müzelerinin rekabetçi atmosferde ön planda olma mücadeleleri ile devam etmiştir. 1980 li yıllarla birlikte liberal ekonomik fikirler ekseninde serbest pazar mekanizmaları yeni rekabet ortamları yaratmıştır. Her firma, kurum, müessese vb. oluşumlar, niteliklerini arttırmak adına kalite ve verim sağlama gibi kavramlara daha fazla yer verme politikalarına gerek duymuşlardır. Bu gereksinimler tanıtım ihtiyacını doğurmuştur. Pazarlamanın en güçlü silahı olan slogan amblem, logo, sembol vb. simgeler markalaşma yolunda atılan önemli adımlardır. Tüketici ( müze ziyaretçileri ) zihninde müze ile ilgili bir algı oluşturma gayesi markalaşmanın temel unsurudur. Müze kullanıcılarında İyi ve olumlu bir intiba oluşturma adına benzerlerinden ayırt edici özellikleri bulunan kalıcı, ilginç ve cazibesi olan müze markası yaratma çabalarının en can alıcı paradigmaları, teknolojik ( Sosyal medya ) imkânlardan da faydalanarak etkili tanıtım yapabilme becerileridir. Hizmet verilen ürün yani müzelerin barındırdığı eserleri insanların mutlaka görmesi gerektiği konusunu bir ihtiyaç haline getirme motivasyonu ilk pazarlama stratejisidir. Müze hizmetlerinin alınıp satılan bir mal gibi düşünülmesi müzelerde markalaşmayı kaçınılmaz kılmaktadır. Günümüzde müzecilikteki yeni uluslararası sermayeli büyük şirketler gibi donanımlı olma zorunluluğu onların küresel dünyada markalaşma çabaları bu çalışmanın amacını teşkil etmektedir.

Temporalitatea internă a romanului românesc (1844-1932)
Authors: Vancu Radu , Goldiș Alex , Olaru Ovio , Pojoga Vlad , Susarenco Teodora , Frătean Denisa , Baghiu Ștefan
Published: December 2020

The present article follows the relationship of the Romanian novelistic output between 1901 and 1932 with time and temporal distribution. Its emphasis falls on the degree of correlation between the time of publication and the time during which the events unfold for each corresponding novel, expressed through a variable coined “distance”. By making use of this variable, the temporal distribution of the novelistic corpus in the article clearly shows that the novelists’ focus gradually shifts towards contemporary events; while during the period between 1900 up until the outbreak of World War One, novelists were inclined to place the events of their works in the past, the War seems to have triggered an acute preoccupation with the immediate present. Lastly, the text touches upon two distinct subgenres of the novel, arisen out of their relationship to time, namely the historical novel and the so-called ‘contemporary novel’.

In the folkloric creations of the Romanians the wind has deep mythological implications. Our paper aims to reveal an inventory, an interpretation and a statistical analysis of Romanian names of plants which implicates the word „wind”, spread through the botanical terminology, a phenomenon which, as considered by E. Coşeriu is not enough highlighted (given that the individual speaker became creator of language / poetry whenever he named a flower. Botanical popular terminology has primarily a practical value, designating, distinguishing and categorizing elements of the plant kingdom within the given natural reign, but also has a high theoretical significance, especially for linguists, both by the ethimons to which they send back and by the metaphorical meanings the phytonims mostly have.

Determinants influencing the supply chain performance in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Althaqafi Torky
Published: December 2020

Supply chain management is essential for enhancing an organisation’s position among its competitors by improving its efficiency and effectiveness. The fundamental goal of this study is to recognize the effect of the supply chain responsiveness, flexibility, and its adaptation within the Saudi Arabian business industry. The data in this study were collected from a sample of 390 participants in senior business positions, and then analysed using the multiple regression technique. The results indicated that both the measurements and model have satisfactory fit indices and showed that the three hypotheses raised in this study could be accepted. Additionally, the results demonstrated that both the responsiveness and adaptation of the supply chain exert a positive effect on how the supply chain performs. So, the faster the organisation responds and adapts to the supply chain activities, the higher performance they tend to get.

Authors: Sarwar Adnan , Zafar Aqsa , Hamza Muhammad Ali , Qadir Alia
Published: December 2020

Environmental issues are most important among the current global concerns, and business activities are seen as a cause of significant threat to the environment due to environmentally non-friendly practices by various industries that cause pollution. However, the implementation of green supply chain management (GSCM) practices in developing countries like Pakistan is still inconclusive. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of GSCM dimensions on economic, environmental, and social performance. The five dimensions covered in this research are green purchasing, green manufacturing and remanufacturing, environmental education, internal environmental management, and investment recovery. A survey questionnaire was prepared that consists of green practices as well as a performance indicator. Factor analysis maximum likelihood method was used to examine the survey data of Pakistani organizations. The results of this study indicate that GSCM practices have a positive impact on environmental, economic, and social performance. This research shows organizations are aware of improving their performance while adopting green supply chain practices.
A system dynamics approach for analyzing supply chain industry: Evidence from rice industry
Authors: Jamaludin Maun , Fauzi Teddy Hikmat , Nugraha Deden Novan Setiawan
Published: December 2020

The rice industry policy must be comprehensive with a scope of policy from upstream to downstream. In other words, it must cover all supply chains of the rice industry consisting of five levels, such as, the level of farmers who process rice, grain traders, rice traders, rice traders in production areas and rice traders in urban markets.The purposes of this research are (1) to identify and model the current supply chain system of the rice industry; (2) analyze the simulation of the rice industry supply chain system policy; and (3) recommend rice industry policies which provide incentives for all rice industry supply chain actors. The research method used is the case study method. The aim is to understand a phenomenon in the rice industry supply chain system in depth in West Java Province – Indonesia. The results show that the rice industry supply chain system model is a closed cycle consisting of material flow feedback in the form of grain, rice, money and information flow in the form of demand that occurs in the interaction of actors from farmers, grain traders, rice milling units (RMU), rice traders in production centers to rice traders in urban wholesale markets in Bandung and Jakarta. Every businessman in the rice industry has the same goal, which is to maximize the profits. Thus, it can potentially lead to a conflict of interest which is manifested in the desire of every businessman to sell as much as they produce at the highest possible price but this will not happen because of the limited resources they have, such as capital and the market demand they receive. The strategy of increasing production is often carried out by the government at this time which it cannot be done partially without considering other rice industry supply chain instruments. The impacts of this partial policies are farmers, collectors, rice traders and rice mills gain unstable profits and the benefits received are lower than before the production strategy and policy were implemented. The recommended policy strategy is the rice industry supply chain system should be able to guarantee the availability of sufficient rice and capable of guaranting the welfare of farmers with a policy that integrates rice farming and agro-industry production strategies, financing strategies and accessible to all levels of actors in the rice industry supply chain, human resource development strategies and rice business risk management strategies, simultaneously. The integrated policy strategy needs to be carried out since rice supply chain management is a coordinating system of material flow in the form of grain, rice, money, facilities and information flow in the form of orders or requests, knowledge and innovation.
How Stakeholder Pressure Influence Corporate Sustainability, and Financial Performance in Manufacturing Industries of Pakistan: The Mediatory Role of Sustainable Supply Chain Management
Authors: Israr Anusha , Siddiqui Danish Ahmed
Published: December 2020

It is of great importance to gain a better understanding of the impact of external stakeholder groups on an organization’s supply chain management strategies and practices. The greater challenge is to know how the two constructs affects organization’s sustainability and performance. This study aims to investigate the relationship between stakeholder pressure (SP), sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), corporate sustainability performance (CSP) & financial performance (FP). For this we proposed a theoretical framework, modifying Wolf (2014) model, to incorporate the mediating role of sustainable SCM. Stakeholder pressure is captured by environment issues, and social supply chain issues. Sustainable SCM was measured by waste reduction (WR), green purchasing (GP) and social supply chain standards (SSCS). Empirical validity was established by conducting a survey using close ended questionnaire. Data was collected from 310 employees and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structured equation modeling. Findings shows that environmental issues have significant effect on CSP, FP & SSCM, sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) except green purchasing (GP) has significant effect on CSP, FP hence green purchasing has insignificant results. Social supply chain issues have not a significant effect on CSP, FP and waste reduction (WR). There is a mediating effect of SSCM on environmental issues leads to CSP & FP, but not on supply chain issues. This study will add to the existing knowledge of sustainability in by different firms of a developing country like Pakistan. This will also help in understanding that how stakeholder’s pressure effects the reputation of organizations in result firms mount their strategies and tactics, and can better understand that what measures they should take for environmental and social standards by focusing on employee safety, suppliers’ engagement, and safety programs.

Authors: Sindze Paul , Nantharath Phouthakannha , Kang Eungoo
Published: December 2020

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) can help create jobs, reduce unemployment, improve world-class technology transfer, and grow countries’ economies. During the past 10 years, FDI net inflows to the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) has highly fluctuated and remained below to the total amount reached in 2010. The focus of this research was to statistically analyze the mean difference for FDI net inflows, GDP per capita, natural resource rents, inflation rate, corruption index, trade openness index, rule of law index, and political stability index received in each CEMACs country. Paired t-test methodology was used to conduct the analysis. Data were collected from the World Bank Group database from 2007 to 2017. This research revealed that FDI net inflows decreased by an average of two billion dollars in CEMAC when conducting a mean-to-mean analysis from the recession period to the recovery period. The findings showed that FDI net inflows inversely affected the GDP per capita in Congo and Gabon. FDI net inflows may have contributed to the improvement of the GDP per capita in countries such as Cameroon, Chad, Central Africa Republic, and Equatorial Guinea. Researcher recommendation for continued study is a qualitative research using the same variables through the same periods in addition to year 2018. Improvement of economic policies, regulations and laws, as well as the digitalization of public funds management are also recommended to boost economic development and growth in the CEMAC region.

Extended Falicov-Kimball model at weak onsite and intersite Coulomb interactions
Authors: Kapcia K.J. , Krawczyk J. , Lemański R.
Published: December 2020

We analyze in detail a behavior of the order parameter in the half-filled extended Falicov-Kimball model for small Coulomb interactions (both onsite U and intersite V). The parameter is defined as the difference of localized electron concentrations in both sublattices of the Bethe lattice (in the limit of large coordination number). Using two methods, namely, the dynamic mean field theory and the Hartree-Fock approximation, we found the ranges of U and V for which the anomalous temperature dependence of the order parameter, characterized by the sharp reduction near T ≈ TC /2, occurs (TC is the temperature of the continuous order-disorder transition). In order to quantitatively describe this anomaly, we defined a function that measures the departure of the order parameter dependence from the standard mean-field S=1/2 Ising-like curve. We determined the U-dependent critical value VTC of V above which the anomaly disappears. Indicators of the anomalous behavior of the parameter dependence can be also observed in the temperature dependence of the specific heat.
Insights into nature of a magnetization plateau of 3d-4f coordination polymer [Dy2Cu2]n from a spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg orthogonal-dimer chain
Authors: Strečka J. , Gálisová L. , Verkholyak T.
Published: December 2020

The ground state and magnetization process of an exactly solved spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg orthogonal-dimer chain with two different gyromagnetic factors of the Ising and Heisenberg spins are investigated in detail. It is shown that the investigated quantum spin chain exhibits up to seven possible ground states depending on a mutual interplay of the magnetic field, intra- and inter-dimer coupling constants. More specifically, the frustrated and modulated quantum antiferromagnetic phases are responsible in zero-temperature magnetization curves for a zero magnetization plateau. The intermediate 1/11- and 5/11-plateaus emerge due to the frustrated and modulated quantum ferrimagnetic phases, while the intermediate 9/11- and 10/11-plateaus can be attributed to the quantum and classical ferrimagnetic phases. It is conjectured that the magnetization plateau experimentally observed in a high-field magnetization curve of 3d-4f heterobimetallic coordination polymer [{Dy(hfac)2(CH3OH)}2{Cu(dmg)(Hdmg)}2]n (H2dmg = dimethylglyoxime; Hhfac = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentane-2,4-dione) could be attributed to the classical and quantum ferrimagnetic phases.

Published: December 2020

Soybean is one of the most important industrial crops in the world. The rich nutritional content of the seed is the reason for the increased cultivation of this crop all over the world. However, a large number of phytopathogenic fungi that exist in soybean seeds can reduce the nutritional content, germination, and seed vigor. Soybean seed samples were collected from experimental fields in seven locations in Vojvodina Province, Serbia in the period 2016-2018. From each sample, 100 seeds were randomly selected. Seeds were surface-disinfested in 4% sodium hypochlorite for 5 min, washed two times in sterile water, and dried on a filter paper. All 100 seeds were placed in 20 Petri dishes with standard potato dextrose agar medium (PDA), five seeds in each, and incubated at 22 ± 2°C for seven days, under 12 h of alternating light/dark conditions. The first assessment was performed on the fourth day after isolation. The health status analysis of soybean seed showed that Peronospora manshurica, Macrophominaphaseolina, Botrytis cinerea, Cercospora kikuchii as well as the species from genera Alternaria, Diaporthe, and Fusarium had colonized soybean seed in Serbia over three years. Species from the genus Alternaria and Peronospora manshurica were dominant in all three examined years. Furthermore, it has been noticed that weather conditions, location, and cultivar significantly influenced the intensity of the infection. The results of this study have shown which pathogens pose a threat to successful soybean seed production and help in finding preventive measures to control these pathogens during vegetation.
Dispute review/adjudication boards: One more alternative to court litigation
Authors: Petrović Milena
Published: December 2020

Dispute board is a relatively new, internationally recognised ADR method, a regular feature of international construction and infrastructure contracts. It is composed of three independent and impartial persons selected by the contracting parties. It's basic function is not only to resolve disputes among the parties, but also, if at all possible, to prevent them from happening. So, the board members help the parties avoid or overcome any disagreements or disputes that arise during the implementation of the contract. They also serve to ensure that, where differences between parties escalate into disputes, issues are resolved equitably and as expeditiously and cost-effectively as possible, so that relationships are enhanced (rather than harmed) for the future. The DBprocess is designed to be fast, cheap and well suited for construction disputes. The parties care fully pick their own panel based on integrity, knowledge of the work, and experience in dispute settlement. Dispute boards are certainly not new but experience over the last twenty years has proven them to be highly successful, relatively inexpensive and the only proactive form of ADR which promotes the avoidance of disputes.
Performing notarial duties in the process of conclusion of contracts whose subject matter is the acquisition of rights in REM in immovable property located abroad: A few remarks from the view of private International law
Authors: Đorđević Slavko
Published: December 2020

This paper deals with certain issues of private international law that Serbian notaries public must resolve when performing notarial duties in the process of the conclusion of a contract whose subject matter is the acquisition of rights in REM in immovable property located abroad. The author first deals with the question of whether Serbian notaries public have international jurisdiction to perform notarial duties with regard to these contracts. After that and bearing in mind that the governing law for these contracts is, pursuant to Art. 21 of Serbian Private International Law Act (SPILA), the law of the foreign state in which the immovable property is located, the author tries to clarify whether the notary public applies the rules of this applicable foreign law on the form of the contract or must comply with lex fori (domestic) rules on the form (which are, from the point of view of Serbian notaries public, of procedural nature). Finally, the author explains how, from the point of view of private international law, the notary public should proceed when concluding the contracts on exchange of two immovables, one of which is located in Serbia and the other in a foreign country, given that in such case the conflict-of-law rule of Art. 21 SPILA refers to two applicable laws - Serbian (domestic) law and foreign law.
Pensar la pandemia: palabras que sirven
Authors: Scarabelli Laura
Published: December 2020

Más allá de lo meramente anecdótico inscrito en las experiencias individuales de cada uno de nosotros durante estos largos meses de aislamiento social, es realmente complejo abordar una reflexión sobre lo que estamos viviendo, no tenemos suficiente distancia crítica, podemos tan solo imaginar el mundo que nos acogerá cuando salgamos de esta suspensión que nos envuelve. Muchas son las preguntas que nos asedian. La imaginación trata de procesar los efectos de este aislamiento, la imposibilidad de rozar nuestros cuerpos, de circular libremente en el espacio público, de ocupar las plazas: el agotamiento por las engorrosas medidas de seguridad con las cuales estamos obligados a convivir; el temor que envuelve los desplazamientos entre naciones y continentes; las consecuencias de la diseminación de los confines entre dimensión pública y privada, tras las permanentes sesiones de Zoom que están abriendo nuestras casas al mundo, en este tiempo suspendido.
Cantos en tiempos de cuarentena

Subjetividades femeninas: de la mímica subversiva a los discursos contestatarios
Authors: Guerra-Cunningham Lucía
Published: December 2020

A mediados del siglo XIX, la figura de “la mujer ideal” semejaba una amplia campana bajo una cintura breve, pechos abultados y una larga cabellera llena de rizos o en un complicado moño. El corsé usado desde el siglo XVI era un artefacto de género y varillas metálicas que se ceñían al cuerpo para realzar las caderas y el busto (signos de la maternidad) achicando la cintura alrededor de diez centímetros con el objetivo de crear lo que en aquella época se llamaba “una cintura de avispa”. Los vestidos debían cubrir hasta la punta de los pies y requerían entre siete y diez metros de tela que en la falda se extendía en forma perfectamente redondeada, gracias a las enaguas confeccionadas con aros de acero en un armado metálico.
El desierto en la literatura chilena. Una mirada ecocrítica
Authors: Ostria González Mauricio
Published: December 2020

El desierto ha sido un territorio largamente explotado, no solo económicamente, sino como recurso literario y artístico, porque se ha estimado propicio para imaginar situaciones límite de carácter dramático, tanto en la esfera de las experiencias personales como en contextos históricos, filosóficos o religiosos. Desde la Biblia y el Corán hasta Merton, Sarmiento, Quiroga, Borges y Rulfo; desde San Juan de la Cruz y los místicos hasta O. Paz y R. Zurita; desde las Mil y una noches y Pedro Solís y Valenzuela hasta Bolaño y Rivera Letelier, hablar del desierto ha supuesto siempre, construir diversas imágenes y escenarios simbólicos que pueden representar desde el vacío absoluto hasta la tortuosa habitación infernal; desde la aventura hazañosa hasta la codicia implacable; desde el lugar propicio para la purificación y el éxtasis espiritual hasta el habitat amado en su desolada ternura; desde el lugar sin límites donde todo es posible hasta aquel donde la imaginación o la enajenación se pierden en espejismos y fantasmagorías ilusorias o indicios de otros modos de existencia; desde la posibilidad de comunicación con el cosmos hasta la consideración de la adusta pequeñez de la piedra o el grano de arena.
El hilo más intenso de la memoria
Authors: Eltit Diamela
Published: December 2020

La medida cronológica del tiempo es una ficción. Lo es porque el tiempo es multiforme, nunca lineal, sin principio ni fin. Transcurre de espaldas a cualquier cronología pero, en el interior de esta clasificación convencional del tiempo —sus códigos y sus signos— se escriben las huellas que establecen los sucesos. Allí se fijan los hitos que marcan puntos de inflexión para trazar la línea histórica establecida por los pactos sociales.

Enantioselective Desymmetrization of 1,3‐Disubstituted Adamantane Derivatives via Rhodium‐Catalyzed C−H Bond Amination: Access to Optically Active Amino Acids Containing Adamantane Core
Authors: Yasue Risa , Yoshida Kazuhiro
Published: December 2020

In order to synthesize optically active amino acids containing the adamantane core, an enantioselective desymmetrization of adamantanes via rhodium‐catalyzed C−H bond amination was examined. After investigating various conditions, it was found that the coupling reaction between disubstituted adamantane and aryloxysulfonamide was catalyzed by Rh2(S‐TCPTTL)4 to furnish the desired products having up to 85% ee (e.r.=92.4: 7.6) (>99% ee after recrystallization). The synthetic utility of the enantioenriched products as chiral building blocks was demonstrated by transforming one of them into a dipeptide derivative and a Schiff‐base ligand. The absolute configuration of one of the amino acid derivatives was determined unambiguously by X‐ray single‐crystal structure analysis.

Although efficient N fertilization has become widely accepted for sustaining or improving N use efficiency (NUE), many existing N fertilizer recommendations seldom consider N sources during implementation. To investigate the effect of N rates and sources on maize (Zea mays L.) production efficiency, soil quality, and economic benefits, a field experiment was conducted in the coastal saline area of China. The optimal N rate (ONR) treatment based on in‐season root‐zone N management reduced N application amount by 44% without grain yield losses and decreased the apparent N losses by 144 kg N ha–1 compared with the local N management practice of farmers. Furthermore, the ONR treatment with ammonium sulfate (ONR‐AS) or calcium ammonium nitrate (ONR‐CAN) had higher maize grain yield and NUE than the ONR with urea (ONR‐urea) treatment. Compared with ONR‐urea, treatment with ONR‐AS or ONR‐CAN increased Ca2+ content, decreased soil pH and Na+ content, and thus imporved maize yield and NUE. Among the ONR treatments, the ONR‐AS treatment increased economic gains compared with the ONR‐urea treatment. This study suggests that an integrated N management can increase maize yield, NUE, and economic benefits and improve soil quality in the coastal saline soils.
