Published: August 2023

Esta pesquisa teve como escopo analisar o princípio do acesso à justiça face as dimensões geográficas e desigualdades socioeconômicas nos distritos pertencentes ao município de Porto Velho, estado de Rondônia. Objetivou-se, à vista disso, identificar a efetividade do princípio da inafastabilidade da jurisdição no Estado Democrático de Direito; Apontar as problemáticas existentes nos distritos da Ponta do Abunã do município de Porto Velho-RO; Além de apresentar as benesses processais advindas com a pandemia da Covid-19 na garantia do direito ao acesso à justiça. Deste modo, o trabalho identificou as dificuldades em relação a distância entre os distritos da Ponta do Abunã à Capital, uma vez que os moradores desta região precisam muitas das vezes, se deslocarem a aproximadamente trezentos quilômetros para terem acesso, por exemplo, a Defensoria Pública, ao qual um hipossuficiente precisa dispor de recursos financeiros para terem seus direitos garantidos, o que, por via de consequência, o direito ao acesso à justiça se torna ineficaz. Em decorrência desta problemática, este trabalho justificou-se na necessidade de enfatizar as dificuldades existentes na Ponta do Abunã devido a inexistência do acesso imediato à justiça, onde os moradores encontram-se excluídos do direito à tutela jurisdicional. Por outro enfoque, verificou-se que a pandemia da Covid-19, apesar dos diversos males trazidos no Brasil e no Mundo, no aspecto jurídico, a prestação jurisdicional se tornou positiva aos moradores dos distritos da Ponta do Abunã, visto que o acesso à justiça se tornou mais eficaz com o atendimento das demandas sociais de forma virtual. Optou-se pela metodologia explicativa e descritiva, ao qual buscou identificar e descrever os fenômenos sociais que colaboraram a uma ineficiência do direito ao acesso à justiça, além do método bibliográfico, se utilizando de livros e artigos científicos pesquisados nas plataformas de dados Google Acadêmico, Portal de Periódicos CAPES e SciELO. Por fim, como resultados prévios, buscou-se enfatizar a ampliação e implementação de instrumentos que garanta o acesso à justiça, possibilitando, deste modo, que eventuais obstáculos sejam mínimos, senão inexistentes, para que haja o alcance dos direitos transindividuais dos cidadãos residentes na região da Ponta do Abunã.

Uma importante planta daninha no Nordeste do Brasil é o capim gengibre (Paspalum maritimum Trind.). O herbicida registrado para o controle dessa espécie é o glifosato, aplicado em pós emergência. O glifosato, no entanto, pode apresentar menor eficiência quando ocorre chuvas pouco tempo após a aplicação. Uma forma de melhorar o controle do capim gengibre é a associação do glifosato com herbicidas inibidores da enzima protoporfirinogênio oxidase (Protox). Nesse sentido, o presente estudo objetivou avaliar a eficiência do herbicida glifosato (sal de isopropilamina) isoladamente e em associações com herbicidas inibidores da Protox, sendo eles a flumioxazina, sulfentrazone e oxifluorfen sob simulação de chuva de 20 mm, com intervalos fatoriais de 2 – 4 – 8 – 16 – 32 – 64 horas após aplicação dos herbicidas e um controle sem a lavagem das folhas. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação do Centro de Ciências Agrárias da Universidade Federal de Alagoas, no município de Rio Largo. Utilizou-se um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado (DIC), com quatro repetições em esquema fatorial (herbicidas x tempo de lavagem). O capim gengibre mostrou-se altamente susceptível à associação entre Glifosato e Flumioxazina, mistura que propiciou aumento da eficiência de controle dessa planta daninha em pós emergência, nas simulações de chuva de 2 – 4 – 8 – 16 – 32 horas após a aplicação dos herbicidas. Na avaliação da rebrota, o uso isolado do Glifosato isolado, levou a morte da planta, evitando assim a rebrota. O uso de Glifosato associado ao herbicida Flumioxazina se mostrou uma alternativa para o controle do capim gengibre de forma rápida e eficiente.

Differential effects of statins on plasma and brain cholinesterase activities in chicks
Authors: Rashid Hussein Mohammed , Mohammad Fouad Kasim
Published: August 2023

Statins used to treat dyslipidemia may differentially modulate cholinesterase (ChE) activity impacting neuronal function. This study examines the effects of three statins (atorvastatin, fluvastatin, and simvastatin) on plasma and brain ChE activities and cholesterol levels in a chick model of 7-14 days old. Chicks were dosed orally with single doses of each statin at 50, 100, and 200mg/kg or repeated doses at 100mg/kg/day for 14 consecutive days. Plasma and whole brain ChE activities were measured electrometrically, whereas cholesterol levels were measured using a commercial colourimetric kit. In vitro ChE inhibition by the statins was initiated at 37°C for 10 mins. Data were statistically analysed using analysis of variance followed by the least significant difference test. Atorvastatin and fluvastatin did not significantly affect plasma ChE activities 2 hours after the oral administration, whereas simvastatin at 100 and 200mg/kg significantly increased (28% and 16%, respectively) plasma ChE activity. Repeated oral doses of the statins did not significantly affect plasma ChE activity. However, only simvastatin significantly decreased whole brain ChE activity by 33%. Repeated treatments with the three statins significantly reduced cholesterol levels in the plasma but not in the whole brain. The three statins inhibited in vitro plasma and whole brain ChE activities by 10-33% and 8-43%, respectively. The results suggested that the statins differentially modulated ChE activity in vivo and in vitro in chicks. Additional in vivo studies are warranted on statin effects on ChE activity in different brain regions of animal models.

This paper considers a fixed-charge transportation problem with fuzzy shipping costs. Whereas the shipping costs of routes are fuzzy intervals, with increasing linear membership functions, fixed costs, supplies, and demands are deterministic numbers. By defining a membership function associated with the objective values and utilizing Bellman-Zadeh’s max-min criterion instead of the main problem, a new crisp nonlinear mixed-integer programming problem is formulated. To solve this non-linear programming problem, at first, we find optimality conditions for a feasible solution, then, using these optimality conditions, reformulate the non-linear programming problem as a linear mixed-integer fractional programming problem, and finally transform the fractional programming problem as a mixed-integer linear programming problem, which can be solved using the existence methods. An illustrative example is solved to explain the presented details.
NACC1 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that nucleus accumbens-associated 1, encoded by NACC1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. NACC1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of NACC1 in primary tumors was correlated with patient recurrence-free survival. Modulation of NACC1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
Tensor Fluctuations in the Early Universe
Authors: Melia Fulvio
Published: August 2023

In standard inflationary cosmology, scalar and tensor perturbations grew as the Universe expanded and froze when their wavelengths exceeded the Hubble horizon, producing a tell-tale signature in the fluctuation spectrum and amplitude of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). But there are now very good reasons to examine whether structure formation could also have begun via the seeding of quantum fluctuations in a non-inflationary field. In this Letter, we study and compare the scalar and tensor modes produced in these two scenarios, and demonstrate that upcoming observations to measure the B-mode polarization of the CMB may be able to differentiate between them. Whereas both scalar and tensor modes should be observable if the field was inflationary, only scalar modes would be present in the CMB if it were not. Should gravity be purely classical, however, the tensor modes would have avoided canonical quantization in all cases, resulting in unmeasurably weak gravitational waves. A non-detection of B-mode polarization would thus not completely rule out inflation.

Validation of the Numen Field by the Energy Conditions in the Early Universe
Authors: Melia Fulvio
Published: August 2023

The energy conditions in general relativity were introduced to establish powerfultheorems without having to restrict their applicability to specific choices of thestress-energy tensor. They were famously invoked, e.g., to prove the singularitytheorems of Penrose and Hawking, but have also been applied elsewhere, includingvarious tests of certain cosmological theories. These conditions have becomesomewhat controversial, however, because they appear to be violated by commonlyaccepted scenarios, such as inflation shortly after the Big Bang and late-timeacceleration of the cosmic expansion. But accommodating these processes byabandoning all of the energy conditions would promote other disquietingpossibilities, including the breakdown of causality with traversable wormholesand closed timeloops. This paper advocates for the opposite viewpoint,demonstrating that the `numen' scalar field, derived from the zero activemass condition in general relativity, satisfies all of the energy conditionsin the early Universe. This unique feature among scalar fields adds to itssuccess in accounting for the observed properties of the cosmic microwavebackground better than its inflationary counterpart. Specifically, numen'scomplete consistency with all of the energy conditions, and inflation'sviolation of at least one of them, provides additional justification fortheoretically favoring the former over the latter.

The Usage of Mindsponge Theory for Explaining The Willingness of Global Citizens to Provide Geospatial Global Positioning System (GPS) Data From Their Smartphones During The COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: SARI NI PUTU WULAN PURNAMA
Published: August 2023

Global citizens have widely discussed COVID-19 and its transmission prevention since the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the disease as a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020, and a pandemic on March 11, 2020 [1]. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of digital epidemiology based on public health data [2]. In the early stages of the pandemic, public health officials faced critical problems in collecting effective information input from the public. Specifically, the issues around the donation of digital data related to the context of mobile phone privacy became a major roadblock in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic [3].Hswen et al. [3] evaluated people’s willingness to provide their smartphone geospatial global positioning system (GPS) data during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study involved 1055 participants from 41 countries with a mean age of 34. Findings showed that participants living in India or Brazil were more willing to provide their GPS data than those living in the United States. No significant differences were seen between positive and negative valence framing messages. Monetary incentives of $5 significantly increased participants’ willingness to provide GPS data. Half of the participants in the self-interest and pro-social arms agreed to provide their GPS data, and almost two-thirds of participants were willing to provide their data in exchange for $5. Framing and incentivization can be used in combination to influence the acquisition of private GPS smartphone data. Financial incentives can increase data provision to a greater degree with no losses on these intrinsic motivations to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. The study’s findings have the ability to contribute to lowering the social cost of epidemic control by informing evidence-based policymaking efficiently [4].
Impact of rift history on the structural style of intracontinental rift-inversion orogens
Authors: Vasey Dylan , Naliboff John , Cowgill Eric , Brune Sascha , Glerum Anne , Zwaan Frank
Published: August 2023

Although many collisional orogens form after subduction of oceanic lithosphere between two continents, some orogens result from strain localization within a continent via inversion of structures inherited from continental rifting. Intracontinental rift-inversion orogens exhibit a range of structural styles, but the underlying causes of such variability have not been extensively explored. Here, we use numerical models of intracontinental rift inversion to investigate the impact of parameters including rift structure, rift duration, post-rift cooling, and convergence velocity on orogen structure. Our models reproduce the natural variability of rift-inversion orogens and can be categorized using three endmember styles: asymmetric underthrusting (AU), distributed thickening (DT), and localized polarity flip (PF). Inversion of narrow rifts tends to produce orogens with more localized deformation (Styles AU and PF) than those resulting from wide rifts. However, multiple combinations of the parameters we investigated can produce the same structural style. Thus, our models indicate no unique relationship between orogenic structure and the conditions prior to and during inversion. Because the style of rift-inversion orogenesis is highly contingent upon the rift history prior to inversion, knowing the geologic history that preceded rift inversion is essential for translating orogenic structure into the processes that produced that structure.
Which Identities are Concealable? Individual Differences in Concealability
Authors: Le Forestier Joel Michel , Page-Gould Elizabeth , Chasteen Alison L.
Published: August 2023

Concealment is a common and consequential identity management strategy. But which identitiesare concealable? In three studies (n = 468; obs = 4,068), we find substantial individual differences in which identities people experience as concealable. These individual differences in concealability manifest as Person × Identity interactions, such that people experience varying levels of concealability for each of their individual identities. In two additional studies (n = 465; obs = 3,784), we find that these individual differences predict the frequency and efficacy of concealment. We conclude that it is inaccurate to label entire categories of identities as either concealable or conspicuous and urge intergroup researchers to consider people’s unique experiences of concealability. Pre-registrations for Studies 1-4 and open materials, code, and data for all studies are available on the Open Science Framework: https://osf.io/m95qu/.
Effectiveness of a Process Based Intervention in Decreasing Internalized Ageism
Authors: Murphy Dallas James , Mackenzie Corey S. , Porter Michelle M. , Chipperfield Judith
Published: August 2023

Objectives: Exposure to ageism may be internalized in older adults, and this can have severe consequences. However, little research has addressed reducing internalized ageism. Thus, Reimagine Aging, a six-week process-based intervention to reduce internalized ageism was designed and implemented, using education, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attributional retraining to target theoretically based mechanisms of change. Method: 72 older adults (M = 70.4 years, SD = 6.4 years) participated in Reimagine Aging, consented to participate in this research, and provided valid data. Participants completed questionnaires prior to the intervention, immediately following the intervention, and at a two-month follow-up. Results: Participants’ self-perceptions of aging and perceptions of older adults became significantly more positive, associated with large effect sizes (partial eta squared = 0.37 and 0.27 respectively). Furthermore, these positive gains were mediated by increases in psychological flexibility, mindfulness, and perceived control. Discussion: This study provides initial support for the effectiveness of this process-based intervention targeting a reduction of internalized ageism. This has the potential to reduce the harmful consequences of internalized ageism impacting older adults globally.
The New Book Burners: Academic Tribalism
Authors: Jussim Lee , Honeycutt Nathan , Careem Akeela , Bork Nathanial , Finkelstein Danica , Yanovsky Sonia , Finkelstein Joel
Published: August 2023

In this chapter, we review evidence and examples reflecting an embrace of modern manifestations of book burning among academics. We use the term “book burning” as did Bradbury: both descriptively and metaphorically to include burning of actual books, but, especially within academia, to calls to retract, remove, and memory-hole published papers. In the present chapter, we focus on factors that have undergirded book burning for thousands of years: a sense of righteous victimization and a desire by the book burners to impose their values and norms on others. This chapter contains three main sections. The first reviews some of the common manifestations of tribal or politically sectarian psychology. The second reviews evidence regarding equalitarianism, a form of extreme egalitarianism (Winegard & Winegard, 2018) on the political far left, which likely drives much of the support for book burning among academics. The final section reviews both scientific evidence and real world events involving academic tribal demonization and book burning.
Do Unified Protocol Modules Exert General or Unique Effects on Anxiety, Depression, and Transdiagnostic Targets?
Authors: Southward Matthew W. , Lane Sean Patrick , Shroyer Sara E. , Sauer-Zavala Shannon
Published: August 2023

Several transdiagnostic cognitive-behavior therapies include multiple treatment components. However, it is unclear whether some components are more efficacious than others at reducing symptoms or whether these components uniquely influence their putative mechanism of change. Participants (N = 70; Mage = 33.7; 67.1% female, 74.3% White) with a primary anxiety or depressive disorder were randomized to one of three standard or personalized sequences of core UP modules. Using hierarchical linear modeling, we tested (a) whether the average session-to-session change in anxiety and depression differed between modules and (b) whether the average session-to-session change in the putative mechanism of each module differed between modules. All modules led to similar changes in anxiety, but Confronting Physical Sensations led to significantly less change in depression than other modules. There were no significant differences among modules predicting putative mechanisms of change, although there was a trend for Mindful Emotion Awareness to predict greater improvements in mindfulness than Understanding Emotions. Consistent with its transdiagnostic nature, UP modules may exert similar effects on anxiety and putative mechanisms of change, although interoceptive exposures may be less impactful for changing depressive symptoms and the mindfulness module may promote relatively specific improvements in mindfulness.
Delineating the Boundaries Between Genuine Cultural Change and Cultural Appropriation in Majority-Group Acculturation
Authors: Kunst Jonas R. , Lefringhausen Katharina , Zagefka Hanna
Published: August 2023

An emerging literature has begun to explore the acculturation of majority-group members within increasingly diverse societies. Given the inherent power asymmetries and ethnic hierarchies that usually favor majority groups, it becomes critical to examine their acculturation process through the lens of power dynamics. Central to this examination is determining when a majority group’s adoption of cultures from other groups (e.g., ethnocultural minorities who are indigenous or have a history of forced or voluntary migration) constitutes cultural appropriation versus genuine cultural change. In this paper, we argue that cultural appropriation becomes evident when majority-group members exploit cultural elements from less powerful ethnic groups against their will, often for material or symbolic gains, without providing proper credit or demonstrating a deeper understanding of the culture. By contrast, genuine cultural change is distinguishable from appropriation when it is characterized by deep cultural learning (as opposed to cultural engagement that remains superficial), concerns other groups as equal, and is consented to by the group whose culture is being adopted. Existing acculturation research suggests that the cultural adoption by majority-group members is typically driven more by self-reported egalitarian motives than by a desire for dominance, and that minority groups do not principally object to this adoption. Therefore, it is improbable that all aspects of majority-group members’ cultural adoption would constitute cultural appropriation. However, further research is needed to empirically differentiate cultural appropriation from genuine forms of cultural change within majority groups, particularly by investigating the perspectives of the groups whose cultures are being adopted.
“They have Black in their blood”: Exploring how genetic ancestry tests affect racial appraisals and classifications
Authors: Thompson Marissa E. , Trejo Sam , Alvero AJ , Martschenko Daphne
Published: August 2023

How do genetic ancestry tests (GATs) affect how Black Americans decide when others can – or cannot – identify as Black? This study explores the role of GATs in shaping racial appraisal and classification logics. Using a pre-registered nationally representative survey experiment that integrates causal inference with computational text analysis, we disentangle how ancestry (as measured by a GAT) affects how U.S.-born Black Americans draw boundaries around group membership and how these effects vary across setting and prior identification. We find that, though higher levels of Sub-Saharan African ancestry predict higher likelihoods of approval and classification as Black, even individuals with low levels of such ancestry are likely to have their self-identification validated by respondents, consistent with the practice of hypodescent. Furthermore, ancestry treatment effects are primarily mediated by perceptions of the integrity of the individual’s self-identification, suggesting that respondents believe there exists an underlying legitimate and honest way to identify that is partially based on one’s GAT result. However, we also find that the aspects that affect approval and evaluations differ from those that affect classification; the ways that respondents selectively integrate different sources of information, including ancestry, occurs via a dual appraisal and classification process which we term racial contextualism.
Queering Time, One Durian at a Time: An Examination of the Fruit Tree as a Spatiotemporal Disruption of the Anthropocene
Authors: Jamal Abubakr
Published: August 2023

This provocation is meant to examine the role of the tree as an agent of indigenous space and timescale creation within indigenous onto-epistemologies, using the example of the author’s experience with Durian seeds as well as his background as a Tamil Muslim immigrant from urban South India living in urban Malaysia. This personalized and non-structured analysis draws on Posthumanist and Postcolonial concepts to present the tree as a spatiotemporal structure that shapes and supports the Indigenous episteme, mutually emergent with the indigenous human and more-than-human ecologies, becoming with human and nonhumans, and the disruption of this treescape during the advent of the colonial Anthropocene as a restructuring force that replaced the Indigenous Imaginary with an imposed colonial Imaginary as part of the colonization process, planting additional power-knowledge structures in cleared land. This provocation then dwells on the legacy of the colonial Imaginary in a Postcolonial Anthropocenic Imaginary and the role of food as a representation of flows and new becomings-with in a globalized world, examining the latter using the GloNaCal interpretation of Vygotskian philosophy as well as Appadurai’s concept of global flow. The provocation finally identifies the planting of seeds in the disrupted ecological plane of immanence as a radical act of spatiotemporal becoming-with, anchoring the self with the Other, and creating a new assemblage with the more-than-human ecology-time that blurs the distinction between past and present, Old and New, and the Imaginaries of the Indigene and the Anthropocene. Thus, the tree’s seed and the act of planting effectively queer notions and distinctions of Space, Time, and Ecology.

Adapun tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana mekanisme penetapan harga dalam pandangan Islam yang dilakukan oleh pedagang kaki lima di Pasar Tradisional Ranomeeto dengan menggunakan sampel  10 orang pedagang kaki lima yang mewakili populasi dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif kualitatif menganalisa data dengan mengklasifikasikan data berdasarkan persamaan jenis, kemudian diuraikan dan dihubungkan antara data satu dengan data yang lain sehingga diperoleh dari riset perpustakaan (library research) dan dokumen pendukung lainnya. Ruang lingkup penelitian ini adalah mekanisme penetapan harga dalam pandangan Islam. Hasil penelitian ini dalam mekanisme penetapan harga sudah sesuai dalam pandangan Islam dimana tidak terjadi unsur penipuan dalam penetapan harga dimana pedagang mengambil keuntungan yang banyak, tidak ada unsur (ihtikar) menimbun barang pada saat terjadi kelangkaan barang. Dalam ekonomi Islam jika harga yang dipatok oleh pedagang terlalu tinggi  dapat mendzolimi pembeli apalagi barang tersebut termasuk kebutuhan pokok. Penetapan harga yang berlaku di Pasar Tradisional Ranomeeto mengikuti harga umum yang telah ditetapkan, sebagian besar pedagang juga masih menggunakan sistem harga jual dimana mereka menetapkan sendiri harga dalam memperhitungkan modal serta keuntungan yang didapatkan, biasanya yang menggunakan harga jual adalah pedagang yang menjual kebutuhan rumah tangga seperti perabotan dapur dan kebutuhan sekunder lainnya. Di dalam ekonomi Islam telah dijelaskan bahwa penetapan harga haruslah adil, tidak boleh terlalu tinggi karena akan merugikan pembeli dan tidak mendapat ridho-Nya Allah. Berdagang merupakan suatu aktivitas yang telah diajarkan Rasulullah sejak dulu tetapi dengan norma dan ketentuan yang berlaku tidak semata-mata hanya untuk mendapatkan keuntungan. Kata Kunci : Penetapan Harga, Pandangan Islam, Pedagang

Concrete Sustainability: A Future Perspective
Authors: Paglia Christian
Published: August 2023

Concrete and cement are among the most widely used building materials worldwide. Concrete is a versatile material with strong potential as a sustainable material. The increased use of mineral additions to lower the clinker component is a feasible option. Adequate recycled material quality monitoring and mix designs enable a wide use of concrete recycled aggregates for the built environment. In addition, new performance-based durability tests that better simulate the real field exposure with the combined environmental actions will promote more resilient, durable, and sustainable reinforced concrete infrastructures.

Communicative applications of artificial intelligence (AI) have burst into the lives of millions of people through products such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, or Replika, with the ability to generate texts and images and even understand natural language and socialize with humans. This study addresses attitudes toward communicative AI, as well as the sociodemographic and personality factors that are related to its positive perception and usage. For this purpose, we use data from a survey conducted at the end of February 2023 among adult residents in Spain (N = 821). Our results suggest that there is a slight predominance of negative attitudes toward communicative AI, which include cognitive and affective elements such as the perception of dehumanizing aspects and job-related threats, caution, or fear. However, a relevant portion of our respondents is not familiar with communicative AI or generalizes their answers toward other applications of AI. Individuals with higher educational level, greater openness to experience, and lower level of futurephobia show more positive attitudes toward these technologies. In terms of adoption, men, younger people, and those with more favorable attitudes toward AI are more likely to decide to use it, while those scoring higher in agreeableness tend to use it less frequently once they have decided to use it. We discuss these results under the premise that early adopters may play a central role in the attitudes of late majority and laggards, as well as in the future development of communicative AI and its regulatory framework.

Mandioca, aipim and macaxeira are some Brazilian terms used to designate the species Manihot esculenta, a genuinely Brazilian plant that was domesticated by the indigenous people and, because it is a very rustic and adaptable plant, is present in most small rural Brazilian properties as a rich source of carbohydrates for human and animal food. With the objective of studying the productivity of the cultivar in a perfectly homogeneous area regarding the experimental conditions, an experiment was implemented and conducted in a completely random design (CRD), using 5 cultivars and 5 replications. As the experiment was analyzed in CRD, there was no loss for the degrees of freedom of the residue. Soil preparation was carried out with a disc plow at a depth of 40 cm and a leveling harrow was used to eliminate clods. Good quality stakes with 20 cm in length were used for each of the cultivars, and the treatments used were: T1 – IAC 5; T2 – IAC 7; T3 – IAC 11; T4 – Iracema and T5 – Mantiqueira. Each plot consisted of 8 plants, 2 columns with 4 plants, with planting spacing of 0.9 m between rows and 0.6 m between plants in a usable area of 4.32 m2 per plot. As the value of the F statistic (28.59) exceeds the critical value at the 1% probability level (14.02), the test is significant at this level (P < 0.01), so we reject the null hypothesis (H0) and conclude that the tested cultivars (at least two) have different effects on the cassava yield. We can observe that the best cassava cultivar was Mantiqueira (T5) with an average of 49.44 kg per plot, differing significantly from all the others. The Iracema cultivar (T4) also differed significantly from the IAC cultivars, being more productive, and the IAC cultivars (T1, T2 and T3) did not differ among themselves. One of the main objectives of statistics is decision-making regarding the population based on the observation of samples. For this we must formulate the statistical hypotheses called the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (H1). This process is called hypothesis test and, through it, we accept or reject a hypothesis.

Authors: Mikhnevych Liudmyla , Yermolenko Iryna
Published: August 2023

The article draws attention to the little-studied area of historical and legal science, in particular, the issue of the emergence, formation and development of the land law science in Ukraine. The relevance of this area of research is emphasized in terms of possibility of finding the options (that already existed in the past) for solving the modern land-legal problems. It is stated that this article allows performing at least two tasks: the first one is the analysis of theoretical views on the problems of land law of Kharkiv lawyers of the 1920s, and the second one – the introduction of the little-known scientific works on this problem into scientific circulation, which allows reproducing the features of legal research of that time in the field of land law. It was analyzed the scientific achievements of Kharkiv scientists, such as L.S. Dubinskiy, O.L. Malitskiy, M.F. Matvievskiy, O.M. Odarchenko, S.E. Sabinin. Most of their scientific works are little known both in the historical-legal science, and in the land-legal science. The analysis of presented publications is a solid foundation for the conclusion about existence of the Kharkiv branch of science of the land law in the 1920s, which later has become the basis for the formation of corresponding scientific school.
