The aim of the study was to develop a recovery means for beans infected by Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) as well as Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) using callus culture and liposomal glycan preparations. Methods. Cultivation of explants and callus cultures was carried out in vitro using conventional methods of plant biotechnology. The tissue culture propagation was performed during the spring or summer seasons. The presence of viral infection was tested by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The virus-specific primers that allowed amplifying the conserved regions of the capsid protein gene of BCMV or BYMV were used for virus identification. Results. The culture of bean callus infected with BCMV was obtained and adapted for antiviral agents testing. It has been shown that during long-term cultivation (10–12 weeks) in the presence of liposomal preparation containing Ganoderma adspersum glucan (10–100 mg/l), plant tissue culture become free from viruses following virus eradication. This is evidenced by the absence in the callus tissue of 391 bp sequences typical for the virus coat protein gene. Conclusions. The full suppression of virus reproduction and gradual elimination of virus occurred in callus tissue obtained from BCMV-infected beans and cultured on B-5 medium supplemented with liposomal glycanglycolipid complex (10–100 mg/l). The data obtained can be useful for the development of practical control method to cure plant virus diseases using callus culture and antiviral-active glycan-glycolipid complexes.

Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND:

Studies on the association between breastfeeding and infections in children beyond the first year of life reveal conflicting results. In a population-based birth cohort, we investigated whether the duration of breastfeeding was associated with the number of hospitalizations due to infection and symptoms of infection at home.

METHODS:

In the Odense Child Cohort, text message questionnaires were used to register information on breastfeeding (weekly until end of weaning) and symptoms of infection (biweekly; 12–36 months of age). Hospitalization data were obtained from the Danish National Patient Registry.

RESULTS:

Of the 1087 invited, 815 mother-infant pairs were included. The median duration of any breastfeeding was 7.6 (interquartile range: 3.5–10.4) months and of exclusive breastfeeding was 2.1 (interquartile range: 0.7–4.4) months. Hospitalization due to infection was seen in 207 (25.4%) infants during the first 3 years of life. The adjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) for hospitalization due to any infection decreased with a longer duration of any breastfeeding (adjusted IRR: 0.96; 95% confidence interval 0.93–0.99; P < .001). The strongest associations between the duration of any breastfeeding and hospitalizations due to infection were found within the first year of life, for lower respiratory tract infections, and other infections (P ≤ .05). For infants exclusively breastfed, the adjusted IRR for hospitalization was 0.88 (95% confidence interval: 0.80–0.96; P = .006). No protective associations were present between breastfeeding and infection symptoms registered at home from ages 12 to 36 months.

CONCLUSIONS:

The results suggest that increased duration of breastfeeding, especially exclusive breastfeeding, protects against infections requiring hospitalization in the first year of life but not hospitalizations or symptoms of infection at home beyond the first year.

Nodas. Launeddas at the Time of Crisis
Authors: Cao Umberto , Mura Andrea
Published: October 2020

Dating back to 3000 years ago, Launeddas are a wind instrument from the Nuragic civilisation (Sardinia, 18th century BC/2nd century AD) bearing the marks of contaminations from all over the Mediterranean Sea and beyond. Nearly vanished between the 1960s and 1970s, Launeddas are extraordinarily alive and ever more widespread today. In today’s "time of crisis", they found levels of artistic excellence that just some decades ago looked no longer attainable. This documentary portrays five talents from the new generation of Launeddas players, exploring through their eyes the interstitial spaces between folklore and ethnicity, traditions and experimentation, identity and globalization. At the same time, the film exposes a harsh (but not resigned) aperture on the conditions of an entire generation, in an island such as Sardinia – among the poorest regions in Europe - which struggles with structural socioeconomic problems, whose solutions are still far away.
In the Devil's Garden

The film situates the viewer within a makeshift space of an animal market in Algeria. Drifting between feeding and waiting, one attunes to the bodies of goats and camels, the oldest companions of Arab men. As we move deeper into the desert, the site turns into a sacrifice zone and reveals its dark geopolitical secrets. The sensory ethnography film will invite you to question the banality of displacement, confinement and exploitation in an out-of-sight territory.
The Depth Beneath, The Height Above
Authors: Bordoli Andrea
Published: October 2020

The Depth Beneath, The Height Above consists in an exploration of the high alpine region of Robiei, southern Switzerland. Conceived as a sensory piece, the film particularly focuses on the existing relationships between the humans, animals, infrastructural and natural elements that compose Robiei's specific landscape. Through a juxtaposition between the aesthetics and activities that takes place above - the continuous stream of water, the movement of animals, the processes of production of cheese - and respectively below the ground level - the mechanisms, machines and technologies involved in the hydroelectric production, as well as the humans interacting with them -, the film seek to grasp the natureculture and multispecies assemblages through which Robiei and many other contemporary Swiss alpine landscape are being produced.

Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT: Hypercortisolism is a common endocrinopathy in dogs; however, in a few cases, bilateral functional adrenocortical adenomas cause spontaneous disease, and thrombotic events are considered uncommon complications. The aim of this report was to describe a case of bilateral adrenocortical adenoma in a dog with hyperadrenocorticism associated with distal aortic and iliac thrombosis, with emphasis on clinical and pathological aspects. A 15-year-old spayed female Dachshund with a previous clinical history of hyperadrenocorticism presented with acute bilateral hindlimb paraparesis. A vertebral thoracolumbar radiography was performed and did not present any evidence of intervertebral disk disease or vertebral abnormalities; however, abdominal ultrasound and vascular Doppler evaluation revealed bilateral adrenal enlargement in addition to an aortic and external iliac artery thrombus. The animal was euthanized. At necropsy, both adrenal glands were enlarged by well-demarcated neoplastic nodules in the parenchyma, and a thrombus caudal to the abdominal aorta bifurcation within the external iliac arteries that extended to the left external iliac artery was noted. Histological evaluation revealed a well-differentiated neoplastic proliferation of cortical epithelial cells, consistent with bilateral adenoma, and muscular necrosis in the pelvic limbs was also observed. Bilateral functional adrenocortical adenoma; although, very rare, should be considered as a cause of hypercortisolism, and aortic thrombosis in dogs should be considered as a possible consequence.
Mental Health, Cognition and Academic Performance in the 1st Year of Elementary Education
Authors: Dias Natália Martins , Seabra Alessandra Gotuzo
Published: October 2020

Abstract The study investigated 1) relationships and explanatory models of mental health indicators from cognitive abilities and 2) relationships between mental health indicators and academic performance one year later. Participants were 86 children, students of the 1st year of Elementary Education, evaluated in intelligence, inhibitory control (IC) and language. Parents and teachers completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). One year later, the children were re-evaluated in word recognition (WR) and arithmetic. The IC measures were related and could explain up to 21.9% of the variance in the SDQ indices completed by parents and teachers. The SDQ indices completed by teachers were related to WR and arithmetic performances, predicting up to 16.3% of the variance in school performance measures the following year. There was no IC mediation effect on the models generated. The findings suggest an interaction between specific cognitive skills, mental health indicators and academic performance.

Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT: Foot-and-mouth disease represents an important barrier to the international commerce of animal products, potentially associated with significant economic losses. The systematic vaccination of bovines and buffaloes was fundamental for the eradication of this disease; however, the use of vaccines can lead to reactions at the application site. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of the vaccination protocol to the production of dairy cows and to observe the occurrence of vaccinal reactions in the animals. At one property located in the municipality of Salvador do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, 270 dairy cows were vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease in May 2019. The vaccine was administered via a subcutaneous application using disposable syringes and needles for each animal. Inspection of the animals was performed before and 20 days after the vaccination to verify the presence of reactions to the vaccine. The study’s sample was set by convenience, including 203 lactating animals with or without bovine somatotropin (BST) administration during the data collection period, which was limited to 20 days before and 20 days after the vaccination. Milk production data was obtained through SmartDairy® HerdMetrix™ software, tabulated in electronic spreadsheets using Microsoft Excel® and processed using the program SAS®, considering a 5% significance level for mixed model statistical analysis. A total of 160 animals (78.82%) presented local lesions at the application site, even when the recommended vaccination practices were followed, suggesting that the high reaction power was provoked by the vaccinal components. In regards to milk production, a statistically significant (p<0.05) decrease of 0.30kg of milk per animal/day was observed in the average daily production in the 20 days post-vaccination. These results demonstrate the local and systemic effects caused by the foot-and-mouth disease vaccine, evidenced by reduced levels of milk production and the occurrence of vaccine reactions, implying significant economic losses.

Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT: Skin diseases in pigs can negatively impact the production. They cause losses related to the death of the affected pigs, to the cost with the treatment, growth retardation and condemnations in the slaughterhouses. This study was developed to determine the frequency and describe the histopathological findings of skin diseases in pigs in different age groups through a retrospective study from 2006 to 2018. A total of 154 conclusive cases were analyzed, including skin restricted diseases (allergic dermatitis, exudative epidermitis, vesicular dermatitis, pityriasis rosea, swinepox, follicular cyst, papilloma and scrotal hemangioma) or skin lesions secondary to systemic diseases (erysipelas, porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS), bacterial septicemia and multiple hemorrhages without definite cause). The skin lesions were classified as bacterial (46.1%), viral (26.6%), allergic (12.3%), neoplastic (1.3%) and others (13.6%). Swine erysipelas was the most frequent diagnosis (47/154), followed by PDNS (23/154), allergic dermatitis (19/154) and exudative epidermitis (15/154). Vesicular dermatitis (9/154), pityriasis rosea (9/154), septicemia with cutaneous manifestations (9/154), swinepox (9/154) and multiple hemorrhages without definite cause (7/154) were also observed. Follicular cyst (3/154), hyperkeratosis without definite cause (2/154), papilloma (1/154), and scrotal hemangioma (1/154) were less frequently described. Of the conclusive diagnosis, age was reported in 138 cases, with the highest frequency of skin lesions observed at the inspection process during slaughter (56/138).
O Papel das Dimensões da Justiça Organizacional Distributiva, Processual, Interpessoal e Informacional na Predição do Burnout
Authors: SILVA ANGELA MARIA MONTEIRO DA , ALMEIDA GUSTAVO DE OLIVEIRA , CARVALHO DENISE
Published: October 2020

RESUMO O presente estudo investigou o papel das dimensões de justiça organizacional (distributiva, processual, interpessoal e informacional) como preditoras de uma variável do burnout, a exaustão emocional (EE). Setenta trabalhadores (55,7% homens e 81,4% de empresas privadas) responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico, à subescala de EE do inventário de burnout de Maslach e à escala de percepções de justiça. Análises de correlação bivaria-das e parciais indicaram que: a dimensão de justiça interpessoal foi a que mais se correlacionou com a EE, seguida pela distributiva; a informacional não se associou com o burnout; e a processual deixou de se correlacionar com a EE, quando os efeitos de covariância da distributiva e interpessoal foram controlados. A análise de regressão múltipla confirmou esses achados: a interpessoal e a distributiva foram preditores significativos, explicando 31% da variância do burnout. Houve diferenças de gênero. O único preditor significativo para os homens foi a justiça interpessoal, enquanto para as mulheres foi a distributiva. Com base nesses achados, sugere-se às empresas fluminenses que considerem um possível efeito positivo do tratamento respeitoso e cortês na saúde psíquica dos seus funcionários. Tal prática, no presente estudo, teve melhor impacto no burnout do que a distribuição justa de resultados/recompensas e, se adotada, representaria um baixo custo financeiro, possivelmente promovendo o bem-estar e a saúde psíquica dos membros da organização. Finalmente, futuros estudos são sugeridos.

Published: October 2020

Abstract The purpose of the present study was to examine whether there would be performance differences between external and internal focus of attention conditions and an online demonstration condition, and if these differences would be observed at a neuromuscular level through EMG analysis, in addition to traditional outcome measures. We hypothesized that under the demonstration condition participants would perform better than under external and internal focus conditions. We also hypothesized that demonstration condition would show smaller EMG activity than external and internal focus conditions. Furthermore, we hope to replicate the benefits of external focus in relation to internal focus, both in outcome and product measures. Six male participants performed a bilateral leg extension under internal focus of attention, external focus of attention and online demonstration conditions. Muscular contractions goal times were set for concentric muscle action (4 seconds) and eccentric muscle action (2 seconds). An electrogoniometer was used to record muscular activation (production measures), and temporal error was used to observe performance (outcome measures). Results showed that online demonstration condition obtained better performance than external focus condition and a reduced muscular activation. However, differences between internal focus and the other experimental conditions were not found. These findings advance in the understanding mechanisms underpining the focus of attention, such as proposed by Constrained Action Hypothesis.

Published: October 2020

Abstract This systematic review (PROSPERO registration n.43640) aimed to summarise and determine the quality of evidence relating hip bone morphology to (i) hip strength, (ii) mobility and (iii) lower limb biomechanics during functional activities. A standardized search on MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect and Scopus resulted in 17 papers that met inclusion criteria: i) original investigations with a minimal sample of n=10, ii) studies on humans and iii) presence of at least one quantitative hip morphological parameter and one hip functional (i.e. strength and mobility) and/or one lower limb biomechanical parameter. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool with adaptations. Sixteen out of the 17 included studies showed high risk of bias. We observed that primary evidence pointed to the influence of hip morphology on hip mobility in the transverse plane. Specifically, positive correlations between femoral anteversion angle and range of internal hip rotation in physical examination were observed. Regarding biomechanical parameters, no clear evidence of association between hip morphology, and kinematic and kinetic parameters were found. Our results point to a field that is currently under explored and future studies with low risk of bias addressing these relationships are required.

Published: October 2020

Abstract This study aimed to compare the width, the length, the length per width ratio, and the stretch index between the first and the second halves in official soccer matches, and to compare the spatial exploration index between players from different positions. Seventeen professional soccer players from a Brazilian club participated in the study and were monitored during six official matches by a GPS device. Collective positional data were compared between the two halves using a paired t-test, while the spatial exploration index was compared between the playing positions and within the halves by a mixed two-way ANOVA. The results revealed no differences between the two halves for the collective variables. The highest values of spatial exploration index were reported for central midfielders and wing forwards. We conclude that the tactical behavior of professional soccer players is position-dependent, and midfielders are the most exploratory players on the pitch.

Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the risk of pressure injury in patients of emergency care units. Method: Descriptive, cross-sectional, and quantitative by applying the Braden scale to 377 patients from eight units in Paraná, between April and September 2016. Descriptive statistics and Spearman's correlation were used, with a significance of 0.1% for analysis. Results: There was a prevalence of risk-free patients (64.5%; n=243) and of older adults (54.6%; n=206); those at high risk for pressure injury were in the emergency department. Most of the variables were preserved, with emphasis on sensory perception (65.3%; n=246). The Spearman's correlation coefficient was at least 0.93 and indicated a strong linear relation between the results obtained in the variables and in the scale; it was verified that the risk for pressure injury increases with age. Conclusions: Most of the patients were not at risk; however, the older adults and those treated in the emergency department were at high risk of developing pressure injuries.

ABSTRACT Aim: To evaluate the management modes in the workplace of the nursing staff of the surgical ward of a university hospital. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative and analytical study performed in the Surgical Ward of a university hospital in southern Brazil. Sample consisted of 160 nursing workers who answered the Management Styles Assessment Scale. Comparisons were made using Student's t-test and One-Way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson's chi-square test, multiple comparisons test and multiple linear regression analyzes. Results: The Collectivist style was classified as “Predominant” by 46.2% (72) of the workers. The Normative and Directive styles were rated as “Moderate Presence” by 53.2% (84) and 50.3% (77), respectively. The Individualist style was rated as “Unremarkable” by 60.6% (94) of the sample. Conclusions: The presence of collectivist management meets the characteristics of nursing work, which is patient care, planned and performed jointly and in line with the multiprofessional team in the pursuit of comprehensive care.

Methods: Phenomenological research, performed in a hospital in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Data were collected between May and August 2018, through interviews with 11 nurses experienced in neonatal care, and analyzed through the lens of Alfred Schutz's Social Phenomenology. Results: Presented by two categories: nurses' empathy with family members of newborns in Neonatal ICU: empathic conduct; and, the reasons why the empathic conduct of nurses with family members in neonatal ICU. Final considerations: Empathy occurred centrally with the mother of newborns, expressed in communication, identification and construction of bonds. The reasons why the nurses' personal experiences are linked to motherhood, grief and suffering.
La Intensificación Negociada: Cambios en el Régimen de Trabajo de una Gran Empresa de Retail en Chile (2006-2018)
Authors: Ratto Nicolas
Published: October 2020

RESUMEN Pese a la precarización y declinación general de la actividad sindical, se han redescubierto experiencias de revitalización y contramovimientos desde los trabajadores, los que se presentan como gestas heroicas y sin efectos estructurantes sobre las condiciones de trabajo, en una panorama de mercantilización progresiva de la sociedad. A partir del estudio de caso de Walmart en Chile, se sostiene que la actividad sindical al interior de la empresa ha promovido la transformación de su régimen de trabajo, pasando de uno “despótico” basado en la inseguridad salarial, el abuso y las prácticas antisindicales, a otro “hegemónico segmentado”, con mejores trato, intentos de control normativo, fomento de la sindicalización y beneficios materiales desiguales. Se concluye reafirmando las tesis de que la organización autónoma de los trabajadores es posible en contextos de precarización, que la precariedad es reversible, y que el control del trabajo en el retail tiene límites de reproducción bajo mecanismos puramente despóticos y antisindicales.
Analysing the Asymmetry in Decentralised International Co-operation: The Case of Brazil/Europe Sub-national Relations
Authors: Froio Liliana Ramalho , Medeiros Marcelo de Almeida
Published: October 2020

Abstract The article analyses the decentralised international co-operation between Brazil and Europe, focusing on two specific issues that are not the main objectives of the literature specialised in paradiplomacy studies: first, how international co-operation can be used as a tool for power projection and second, the effects that the economic, political and institutional asymmetry among the actors involved in co-operation arrangements produces on the co-operation outcomes. For that, a wide range of documents and data was used (interviews, official documents, minutes of meetings and data collected with a survey applied to public managers) related to the international co-operation developed between Brazil and European countries. The conclusions are that even in decentralised co-operation arrangements, power relations matter to the results of co-operation.

Origem inusitada da pesquisa qualitativa em ciências sociais no Brasil
Authors: Minayo Maria Cecília de Souza
Published: October 2020

Resumo Analisa-se como o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) foi o berço do método qualitativo no Brasil, por meio do Estudo Nacional da Despesa Familiar. Essa pesquisa analisou as condições de vida da população brasileira, numa amostra de 55.311 pessoas nos anos 1970, em que foram triangulados dados quantitativos e qualitativos. Evidenciaram-se os efeitos na desigualdade social sobre a desnutrição, a mortalidade infantil e a expectativa de vida: 62,7% das famílias possuíam deficiência calórica; 40%, penúria alimentar; havia 115 óbitos por mil nascidos vivos; e a expectativa de vida era de apenas 59 anos. Cunhado pelo IBGE como “informações não estruturadas”, o estudo qualitativo lançou luz sobre e humanizou os números coletados. Mas sua divulgação foi proibida pela ditadura militar, na época do chamado “milagre brasileiro”.

Resumo O artigo coloca o cartão-postal em evidência como suporte de encontro entre o retrato e a ação de quem se pronuncia sobre ele com uma mensagem. São abordados quatro cartões que foram, ao longo do tempo, usados como fonte pelos estudos históricos. Absorvida pela prática da fotografia, a pesquisa colocou primeiro em evidência o retratista. Em seguida, mirou a atuação do modelo. A proposta agora é incorporar aos estudos históricos o remetente e sua comunicação. Ao fazê-lo, reconhece-se na superfície dessa mídia um espaço para a transparência de relações sociais vigentes no Brasil do início do século XX. O texto também sugere que Manuel Querino foi o primeiro intelectual a se valer de um cartão como fonte.

Why Paul Celan Took Alarm
Authors: Bonnefoy Yves
Published: October 2020

It's Only Normal that Paul Celan was harshly affected by the base slander—accusations of plagiarism—leveled at him by Claire Goll. It's less normal that he should have suffered from this all his life even though these clearly mendacious accusations allowed him to know that most readers spontaneously took his side.

This brief essay tries to grasp the reasons for this irreducible affliction and finds them in the deepest rapport between a poet and his thought of what poetry is.
The Radical-Teaching Debate - Reply
Authors: Graff Gerald
Published: October 2020

As many articles in the March 2009 issue of PMLA imply, the question of ability is central to any consideration of the human. For example, in “Human, All Too Human: ‘Animal Studies’ and the Humanities” (124.2 [2009]: 564–75), Cary Wolfe shows how the humanities transgresses its own limits and thereby shifts its locus and center. Insofar as this broad area of study is the appropriate venue for reflection on the discursive boundary of the human, it must erase that boundary.

Published: October 2020

Aim: To investigate the urinary bladder cancer (UBC) patients about their smoking behaviors and to find out the answer for their attitudes and awareness of the exposure cancer relationship.
Material and methods: A cross- sectional study was conducted between January 2018- December 2019.
Results: One hundred seventy- nine histopathologically proven UBC patients were included . The majority of patients (57.1%) attempt to quit smoking before diagnosis. 42.9 %of them quitted during diagnostic procedures or after being diagnosed as cancer. No significant relationship was found between the smoking status and recurrence of the primary tumoral disease. The grade of the primary tumor and chemotherapy applications did not affect the smoking status of the patients (p=0.521 and p=0.949 respectively). When the awareness about their smoking behavior which was one of the major causes for their bladder cancer was asked; 60 % of the participants were absolutely not aware. When the main reason for smoking cessation was asked, the positive influence and strong advice of healthcare professionals for quit smoking were the most important factor for the patients. However, either gradually worsening quality of life or suffering from serious respiratory illnesses (COPD, asthma ) were not the major factors to quit smoking.
Conclusions: Majority of the patients didn’t have any or particularly had idea about the relationship between smoking and urothelial cancers. Among the patients who had harm perception of smoking on their tumoral diseases, majority didn’t believe that quitting would be beneficial after being diagnosed as cancer.

The purpose of the study is to provide implications on increasing the quality of cabin service in the future. The study surveyed flight attendants from domestic air flight companies during one month from July 1st to 31st, 2019. The questionnaire was completed with a self-administered method. A total of 319 questionnaires were collected. After excluding the incomplete or dishonest questionnaires, 309 surveys were used in the analysis. We used a snowball sampling technique for collecting data. The results indicate that cognitive crafting and job crafting pose influences on positive psychological capital, and relation crafting, cognitive crafting, and job crafting exert influences on flight attendants' core self-evaluation. Positive psychological capital had a significant influence on core self-evaluation. The mediating role of positive psychological capital was identified between cognitive crafting, job crafting, and core self-evaluation. However, mediating effect was not found between relation crafting and core self-evaluation. The results indicated that through job crafting, the formation of cabin attendants’ active attitude would increase individuals’ positive mind, confidence in challenges and strengths in core self-evaluation.

Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Lee Choong-Ki , Kim Hak-Jun
Published: October 2020

This study aims to analyze trends in tourism economics research published to tourism and hospitality areas, and suggest research directions in the future. To this end this study searched for “tourism economics” from the database of KCI(Korea Citation Index) by Korean Research Foundation during the periods of 2002∼2020 and implemented language network analysis and visualization. Research papers of tourism economics were broadly classified by forecasting tourism demand, economic impacts, and valuation, in which major key words were derived. Results show that Journal of Tourism Sciences published the largest research papers of tourism economics(81), followed by Journal of Tourism & Leisure Research(77), Korean Journal of Hospitality & Tourism(46), Korean Journal of Tourism Research(39), International Journal of Tourism & Hospitality Research(39), and Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Studies(15). With regard to detailed fields of research papers, forecasting tourism demand was dominant, but showed a decreasing trend. Recently research papers of economic impacts indicated more increasing trend than valuation. The results of language network analysis indicate that major key words included “tourism”, “demand”, “input-output model”, “time-series”, “CVM”, “festival”, “willingness to pay(WTP)”, and “tourism demand.” The visualized results of language network show that the major key word of “tourism” was highlighted with “WTP”, “festival”, “tourist”, “multiplier”, and “time-series” during the periods of 2002∼2014. On the other hand, the major key word of “demand” was highlighted with “festival”, “tourism demand”, and “tourist“ during the periods of 2015∼2020. When comparing two periods, valuation papers were dominant in the past, but recently papers related to tourism demand and economic impacts showed an increasing trend. Furthermore, studies on festival were show a more increasing trend.
Appropriate Internal Appeal Mechanisms for Approval of Building Plans: Exploring the Gaps Left by the Constitutional Court
Authors: Raboshakga Ngwako , Fuo Oliver
Published: October 2020

This article explores the gaps left by the Constitutional Court's jurisprudence in relation to what the appropriate internal appeal mechanism should be at the level of municipalities for the approval of building plans. This follows the unanimous judgment of the Constitutional Court in City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality v Chairman of the National Building Regulations Review Board 2018 5 SA 1 (CC) in which the Court found section 9 of the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act 103 of 1977 (NBR Act), subjecting municipal building decisions to appeal by a "Review Board" appointed by the Minister of Trade and Industry, to be inconsistent with the original constitutional powers of municipalities over planning and building regulations. We argue that although the ground for holding section 9 of the NBR Act unconstitutional is already deeply entrenched in the Court's planning jurisprudence, the judgment has left a whopping gap on where prospective/future appeals can be lodged and the nature of such an appeal mechanism, where municipal officials disapprove building plans in terms of section 7 of the NBR Act. It is submitted that the invalidation of section 9 by the Court has completely left it up to each individual municipality to decide on whether and how an internal appeal for the approval of building plans is to be pursued. After exploring the options available in terms of other local government legislation, we argue that the most appropriate way to close the gap left by the Court is for Parliament to enact an amendment to the NBR Act providing for an internal appeal mechanism that allows for a measure of coherence and uniformity across municipalities, and yet respects the autonomy of local government.

Authors: OZDEMIR H.
Published: October 2020

Mathematics course in vocational high school education is significant worldwide to equip vocational students with the technical and personal skills that are required for the effective workforce as discussed in the context of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. The present research sets out to investigate 20 Turkish maths teachers’ belief and instructional practices through comparing vocational students’ perceptions for mathematics instruction and the researcher’s observation in a state vocational high school, which is under- researched. 20 maths teachers and 161 students participated in this longitudinal study (n=181). Mixed methods were used, and three types of data were collected as follows: questionnaires, interviews and observation for triangulation of data and methods t for the reliability and validity of the study. The findings indicated that maths teachers’ belief and practices were not consistent when compared with the questionnaire and interview data collected from vocational students, and also observation carried out by the researcher.Keywords: mathematics education, vocational high school, vocational students, beliefs and practices
Modern military relief forms of Chernihiv Region – their types, morphological and morphometric features
Authors: Filonenko Yurii , Fedorets Roman
Published: October 2020

Investigation into relief forms which arose on the territory of Chernihiv region in the 2nd half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries from anthropogenic activities for military purposes were conducted in all districts of the region. During the work field research was actively used as well as encyclopaedic and Internet materials were applied. The morphological and morphometric features of denudation and accumulative forms of military relief which appear as a result of military operations and exercises, construction of warehouses and equipment of their security zones, erection of defence objects and arrangement of mass graves (fraternal graves) and so on were studied in detail. In particular, defensive fighting positions (including tank and cannon), trenches, breastworks, blindages, dugouts, traces of grenades from shells and bombs together with areas of proving grounds, training centres, airfields and monuments of various sizes and shapes were explored. The research results suggest that most objects which can be classified as military relief forms of World War II naturally occur in places where major battles in strategically important directions of offensive of both opposing sides took place. The findings also revealed that many military relief forms of the WWII period have undergone significant deformation as a result of development of scree formation processes, plane erosion, eolian processes, influence of various representatives of biota as well as agricultural and forestry human activities. In addition, in the southern (forest-steppe) part of the region such relief forms occur considerably less frequently than in the northern (Polissia). This is most likely due to greater plowing of the territory and, consequently, greater anthropogenic load of the agrarian type, which relatively quickly levelled military relief forms in the postwar period. A special place among all the objects of military relief of Chernihiv region of the WWII period is occupied by the museum-memorial complex of guerrilla glory “Lisograd”. It is located in the middle of forest near the village of Jeline in Snovsk district. Here, on the site of the former guerrilla camp, defensive fighting positions, trenches and residential (dugouts) structures of those times were reconstructed in the 2000s. The largest modern military relief forms within the territory of Chernihiv region are the military proving ground in Honcharivske (Chernihiv district), the Desna training center with its own proving ground near Desna (Kozelets district) as well as functioning and defunct military airfields and air bases near Horodnia, Dobrianka, in the village of Maliiky (Chernihiv district), Chernihiv, Pryluky and Nizhyn.

Cross-subsidization in the electric power industry: an empirical analysis, an assessment of the efficiency of its own generation
Authors: Zolotova I.
Published: October 2020

It is necessary to understand what cross-subsidization is - good or bad, evil or good, a problem that needs to be solved, or a necessity that should exist now. In my report, I will talk about the essence and history of the emergence of the phenomenon of cross-subsidization, I will describe the current state in order to understand where we are now, and the promising trends of this phenomenon that exist in public space, legislation, the heads and minds of science and government. I will also present a model for assessing the functioning of a consumer under conditions of work in the power system and in the case of his transition to its own generation with different amounts of cross-subsidization, I will dwell on the results of the simulation. The generated model is a toolkit for market participants that will help them choose the most profitable and efficient way of supplying energy.
