Published: August 2021

The fashion industry has been extensively attacked in recent years due to its severe environmental and social impact, to which large and multinational corporations have responded and come up with new initiatives. The aim of the current research is to seek answers to how small and medium-sized enterprises in the fashion industry having fewer resources are able to operate responsibly on the domestic market. After analysing three Hungarian and an Upper-Hungarian fashion industry SMEs with similar business profiles using the qualitative in-depth interview method, the research concluded that their strength lies mainly in their unique and sustainable products, and they consider opportunities for further development through partnerships and collaborations. The nature of the research is explorative and intends to provide a framework for a further analysis on sustainability and responsibility.
Sustainable transport: From high carbon to carbon neutral
Authors: Onafujabi Toyin
Published: August 2021

Purpose – This paper seeks to explore the transition and process of migrating from high dependence on internal combustion engine (ICE), to one that is a sustainable carbon neutral fleet. Design/Methodology/Approach – Comparative studies will be completed for commercial vehicles with combustion engines and carbon-neutral alternative vehicles. Findings – This paper provides informed decision for people who may wish to consider alternative sustainable carbon neutral propulsion systems. Practical implications – Historically, modes of transportation rely on the conversion of chemical (stored) energy to motion via the use of internal combustion engine (ICE). However, with more awareness, rise in “Green” consumers, and government policies, businesses are open to exploring sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint contribution to the environment. This study suggests that there will be some level of trade-off discussions needed to make such decisions based on the different requirements, industries, geographical locations, and the environment in which such businesses operate. Some companies will be able to justify the need to be more carbon neutral, though some may not, or off-set the capital outlay required to transition and remain carbon neutral, without some form of external help.

Published: August 2021

The focus of this research is to look at knowledge-based programme management resources as a starting point for investigating the relationship between Team programme management resources and social enterprise sustainability in underdeveloped countries. This article examines data from 300 programme management personnel of social businesses in Pakistan who responded to a self-administered and online survey. The link between team programme management resources and social business sustainability was investigated using structural equation modelling (CB-SEM). A total of 9 critical indicators of the team programme management assets have a substantial impact on the three sustainability pillars (Social, economic and environmental). This research contributes to the understanding of the relationship between programme management resources and the long-term sustainability of social enterprises. Few publications have looked into intangible programme management resources as a basis of sustainability using the RBV of the organization. This study adds to the body of knowledge on the RBV of the business and advances our consideration of programme management resources as a foundation of long-term sustainability.
Postoji li kolektivna krivnja?
Authors: Velički Damir , Velički Vladimira
Published: August 2021

Autori rada transkribirali su i preveli Franklov govor o kolektivnoj krivnji (Beč, 1988.) s njemačkoga na hrvatski jezik i to je prvi hrvatski prijevod toga Franklova govora. U radu se navedeni govor detaljno jezično i sadržajno analizira, pri čemu ga se uspoređuje s tiskanom inačicom te se Franklovi stavovi i izričaj suprotstavljaju stavovima K. Jaspersa, H. Arendt i C. G. Junga. Pritom autori analiziraju filozofska uporišta Franklove logoterapije i egzistencijalne analize te njegova promišljanja o patologiji duha vremena, napose o kolektivizmu. Sagledavanje društvenoga, političkoga, povijesnoga i filozofskoga konteksta neophodno je za razumijevanje aktualnosti Franklove misli, odnosno relevantnosti rasprave o (ne)postojanju kolektivne krivnje.

A noticeable increase in the mortality rate of the population in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic updates research in the field of mortality and life expectancy. The article compares the dynamics and mortality rate from the main causes of death in Russia and the Komi Republic on the eve of a pandemic. The aim of the study is to identify regional opportunities for increasing life expectancy due to the characteristics of the structure of mortality by causes. The subject of the research is mortality of the population of Russia and the Komi Republic due to causes of death. Methods used. The study was carried out on the basis of official data from Rosstat for the period 1990-2019, characterized by multidirectional trends in life expectancy. Methods of systemic, statistical and dynamic analysis and comparison were used. The main hypothesis of the study is the assumption of the presence of significant regional reserves for the growth of life expectancy for all major classes of causes of death. Presentation of the main material. In Russia, the period under review is characterized by a decrease in mortality from respiratory diseases, external causes and diseases of the circulatory system, in Komi - only from a group of external causes. But its level and share in the structure of mortality remain higher than the national average - this is still the main reserve for increasing life expectancy. There has been a convergence with the all-Russian parameters of the level and proportion of mortality from cardiovascular diseases, which previously favorably distinguished the region. Komi is characterized by significantly more unfavorable dynamics and mortality rates from diseases of the digestive system and from neoplasms. The republic approached the beginning of the pandemic with a less favorable situation with mortality from respiratory diseases, but with a more favorable situation from infectious and parasitic diseases. The region has reserves for increasing life expectancy for almost all major causes of mortality. Originality and practical significance of the research. Revealing the specifics of the structure of mortality by causes makes it possible to determine regional priorities in demographic policy. Conclusions and prospects for further research. The COVID-19 pandemic has made significant changes in the structure of mortality by cause, which will be the subject of our further research.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of students leave higher education without earning their degree. Helping these students return and complete their degree is an enormous opportunity for higher education to propel social and economic mobility for students and their broader communities. With limited resources at postsecondary institutions, however, most institutional attention tends to go to students currently enrolled, not those who were enrolled. In this case study of Florida State University’s Completion Campaign, we detail how a low-cost, high-impact effort has helped over 1,600 students in four years return to complete their degrees. We illustrate the key features and components of the program, its impact on student success, and considerations for institutions who may want to adopt similar approaches.

Published: August 2021

Rice is cultivated in the three seasons (Aus, Aman, and Boro) across four ecotypes, including irrigat-ed, rainfed upland, rainfed lowland, and deep water in Bangladesh. Rice farming in unfavourable ecosystems is highly exposed to abiotic stresses and extreme weather events (floods, droughts, storm surges, and cyclones), and its performance is frequently affected by the multiple-stresses and extreme weather events. Besides, the increasing demand for rice for the growing population and decreasing scarce resources, including arable land and fresh-water for irrigation aggravated the concern about sustainable rice production systems under future conditions. Thus, the paper aimed to exploit unfa-vourable ecosystems to increase total rice production for meeting future demand. Secondary data were analyzed to achieve the objectives of the study. BR23, BRRI dhan40, BRRI dhan41, BRRI dhan47, BRRI dhan53, BRRI dhan54, BRRI dhan61, BRRI dhan67, BRRI dhan73, BRRI dhan97, BRRI dhan99, BINA dhan-8 and BINA dhan-10 are resilient to salinity. Besides, BRRI dhan56, BRRI dhan57, BRRI dhan66, BRRI dhan71, and BRRI dhan83 are resilient to drought, and BRRI dhan51, BRRI dhan52, BRRI dhan79, BINA dhan11, and BINA dhan-12 are tolerant to submergence. The BR18, BRRI dhan36, BRRI dhan67, and BRRI dhan69 are some-extent resilient to cold. The research has been con-tinuing for developing further stress-tolerant higher yield potential rice cultivars for unfavourable ecosystems. The increased adoption of currently available stress-tolerant rice cultivars has the poten-tial to give a substantially higher yield than that of locally popular rice cultivars in the unfavourable ecosystems. Therefore, the dissemination of stress-tolerant cultivars to 75% of total rice cropping are-as of saline (0.37 Mha), submergence (1.08 Mha), and drought (2.94 Mha) ecosystem may contribute to increasing rice production in the ecosystems by 1.26 MT, 3.45 MT, and 9.18 MT, respectively. Re-sulting from that 13.89 MT rice will be added to the national rice basket in 2050. The policy supports are needed to strengthen for developing and rapid dissemination of the stress-tolerant cultivars in the unfavourable ecosystems for meeting the increased demand of rice of the growing population under future conditions.

Soil Health as Influenced by Fertilizer Management in Rice Based Cropping System
Authors: Haque MM , Islam MR , Rahman MS , Sarkar MAR , Mamun MAA , Salam MU , Kabir MS
Published: August 2021

Nutrient management influences soil health and crop productivity. Sustained crop production re-quires specific nutrient management options after a certain period. The objectives of this investigation were to examine the effects of inorganic and organic fertilization on yields and soil carbon budget under rice based cropping patterns in Bangladesh. The research data and informationhave been gen-erated based on previouslypublished, unpublished sources and own concept.Omission of K or im-balanced K are more influential for reduction in grain yield up to 47% in Boro (dry) season but N was most limiting up to 35% in T. Aman (wet) season. With existing fertilizer rates for growing rice, the balances of N and K are always negative. Balanced chemical fertilizer (NPKSZn) can be an option for improving crop productivity and maintain soil quality. Net ecosystem carbon (C) balances are posi-tive when 3 t ha-1 cow dung (CD), 2 t ha-1 poultry manure (PM) and 2 t ha-1 vermicompost (VC) are used in combination with chemical fertilizers. Soil amendments with organic nutrient sources (rice straw, CD, PM, VC, legume crops) and rice based cropping patterns such as T. Aman-Mustard-Boro, Boro-Fallow-Fallow, Jute-T. Aman-Fallow, Wheat-Mungbean-T. Aman, Grass pea- T. Aus-T. Aman and Potato-Boro-T. Aman can be beneficial in improving soil C budget, soil nutrient ratio, total crop production and maintenance of environmental health that will meet SDGs goal.

Strengthening the early warning system to forecast extreme weather and provide action-oriented advisories may increase rice yield as well as enhance the income of the farmers through minimizing risks and losses, if proper use of the generated advisory is ensured. This study assessed the importance and impact of weather forecast based advisory service (WFBAS) in Bangladesh. Literature review and field experimental data were used in a sensitivity analysis to show the impact of WFBAS on rice production. Available literatures suggested that the weather based advisory service would enhance rice yield by around 6.7-10%, but the experimental findings revealed that yield advantage could be 21.48%. Besides, the adoption of this technology would reduce the cost of cultivation by 12%, whereas the aggregate impact would increase the farmers’ profit by 25%. In the sensitivity study, we considered the production and price of Aman and Boro seasons (actual and government procured prices for 2018-19) and assumed only 6.70% yield increase with 5% farmers adopting of WFBAS. As such, additional 0.172 million tons will be added to the national rough rice production and thus the nation will be benefited by 3143 million Bangladeshi taka (BDT) at the actual farmgate price and it would be 4478 million BDT at the government procured price. The return on one BDT investment in this technology would be 51-73 BDT based on actual and procured prices. The projection showed enhenced production of the rough rice at 0.119 million tons and 0.214 million tons by 2025 and 2030, on which the additional return would be BDT 2441 and BDT 5223 million at the projected actual farmgate price and BDT 3522 and BDT 6979 million at the projected Government procured price, respectively. Hence, the successful implementation of the WFBAS will help to develop resilient rice farming communities, minimize livelihood risk, reduce the cost of production, utilize resources efficienty, and enable the farmers to take maximum benefit from favorable weather conditions through improved agricultural extension services. Finally, the enhanced yield and loss reduction will help to achieve the target of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) by 2030 through sustaining rice production in Bangladesh under changing climate.

Risk of Rice Cultivation under Current and Future Environment and Market
Authors: Kabir MJ , Sarkar MAR , Rahman MC , Rahman NMF , Mamun MAA , Chowdhury A , Salam MU , Kabir MS
Published: August 2021

Risk is an inevitable feature of agriculture globally, and it might increase over time in the future. The study assesses the risk of rice cultivation in the three seasons under current and future conditions. The software programme @Risk version 7.6 was used to simulate the risk-return trade of rice cultivation in the three seasons in Bangladesh. The likelihood of having negative net income for the Aus (90%) and Boro (80%) rice was very high under the current market and environmental conditions. Besides, the chance of obtaining negative net income was notable for T. Aman (33%). Both the yield and price variation significantly contributed to the fluctuation of returns of rice production. However, with the current seasonal variation in yield, the probability of having negative net income for paddy rice was very low under the farmers’ expected price (Aman: 22.5 BDT kg-1, Boro: 25 BDT kg-1 and Aus: 24 BDT kg-1). The result indicates that only access to the fair price of the rough rice can ensure the economic sustainability of the rice production. Likewise, chances of having a negative net income of paddy rice in 2030 will be zero under the extrapolated yield (Aman: 5.3 kg ha-1, Boro: 6.3 kg ha-1 and Aus: 4.8 kg ha-1) and price (Aman: 31.75 BDT kg-1, Boro: 30.75 BDT kg-1 and Aus: 30 BDT kg-1). The findings indicate that rice cultivation in the three seasons will be economically sustainable, subject to achieving the expected genetic gain and ensuring access to the projected price. Thus, policy supports are needed to ensure farmers' access to a fair price, improve management practice, and strengthen research to enhance genetic gain for sustainable rice farming under future conditions.

Research in the field of electrochemistry of aqueous solutions, which was and is being carried out at the Institute, made a significant contribution to theoretical and applied electro­chemistry: the theory of electrode pro­cesses, electrochemistry of complex compounds, masstransfer, chemical power sources, electrocatalysis, electrochemical devices, theoretical and engineering electroplating, hydroelectro­metallurgy, electrochemical ecology and a number of other areas of modern chemistry. This article highlights issues related to research in the field of electrodeposition, namely: theo­retical research in the field of electrodeposition, electrodeposition of metals and alloys, hydroelectrometallurgy, corrosion and anticorrosion coatings. It is proved the effect of complexation leads to the formation of elect­rochemically active and inactive coordination ions, a mechanism for the discharge of ions during the formation of a film on the electrode surface is also proposed. The regularities leading to the formation of powders and black deposits of metals are analyzed. The conditions for a stable electrolysis regime were identified, the concept of the electrochemical resistance of the system was introduced, and the relationship between the kinetic parameters of elect­rolysis and the structure of the coatings was shown. The works in the field of hydroelectrometallurgy, corrosion-resistant and protective coatings are analyzed. It is noted that the scien­tific achievements of the Institute’s scientists are widely known around the world.

Objectives: This study explores the concentration and role of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD).

Background: Calcific aortic valve disease is a chronic disease presenting with aortic valve degeneration and mineralization. We hypothesized that the level of GLP-1 is associated with CAVD and that it participates in the calcification of aortic valve interstitial cells (AVICs).

Methods: We compared the concentration of GLP-1 between 11 calcific and 12 normal aortic valve tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis. ELISA was used to measure GLP-1 in serum of the Control (n = 197) and CAVD groups (n = 200). The effect of GLP-1 on the calcification of AVICs and the regulation of calcific gene expression were also characterized.

Results: The GLP-1 concentration in the calcific aortic valves was 39% less than that in the control non-calcified aortic valves. Its concentration in serum was 19.3% lower in CAVD patients. Multivariable regression analysis demonstrated that GLP-1 level was independently associated with CAVD risk. In vitro, GLP-1 antagonized AVIC calcification in a dose- and time-dependent manner and it down-regulated RUNX2, MSX2, BMP2, and BMP4 expression but up-regulated SOX9 expression.

Conclusions: A reduction in GLP-1 was associated with CAVD, and GLP-1 participated in the mineralization of AVICs by regulating specific calcific genes. GLP-1 warrants consideration as a novel treatment target for CAVD.

The Earth–ionosphere cavity resonator is occupied primarily by the electromagnetic radiation of lightning below 100 Hz. The phenomenon is known as Schumann resonances (SR). SR intensity is an excellent indicator of lightning activity and its distribution on global scales. However, long-term measurements from high latitude SR stations revealed a pronounced in-phase solar cycle modulation of SR intensity seemingly contradicting optical observations of lightning from satellite, which do not show any significant solar cycle variation in the intensity and spatial distribution of lightning activity on the global scale. The solar cycle-modulated local deformation of the Earth–ionosphere cavity by the ionization of energetic electron precipitation (EEP) has been suggested as a possible phenomenon that may account for the observed long-term modulation of SR intensity. Precipitating electrons in the energy range of 1–300 keV can affect the Earth–ionosphere cavity resonator in the altitude range of about 70–110 km and modify the SR intensities. However, until now there was no direct evidence documented in the literature supporting this suggestion. In this paper we present long-term SR intensity records from eight stations, each equipped with a pair of induction coil magnetometers: five high latitude (|lat| > 60°), two mid-high latitude (50° < |lat| < 60°) and one low latitude (|lat| < 30°). These long-term, ground-based SR intensity records are compared on the annual and interannual timescales with the fluxes of precipitating 30–300 keV medium energy electrons provided by the POES NOAA-15 satellite and on the daily timescale with electron precipitation events identified using a SuperDARN radar in Antarctica. The long-term variation of the Earth–ionosphere waveguide’s effective height, as inferred from its cutoff frequency, is independently analyzed based on spectra recorded by the DEMETER satellite. It is shown that to account for all our observations one needs to consider both the effect of solar X-rays and EEP which modify the quality factor of the cavity and deform it dominantly over low- and high latitudes, respectively. Our results suggest that SR measurements should be considered as an alternative tool for collecting information about and thus monitoring changes in the ionization state of the lower ionosphere associated with EEP.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are pivotal for tumor progression and metastasis. We investigated the stromal CD86+TAM/CD163+TAM (CD86/CD163) ratio as a novel prognostic biomarker for stage II-III colorectal cancer (CRC). Two independently clinical cohorts of stage II-III CRC were retrospectively enrolled in this study. TAMs were detected using immunohistochemical staining for CD86 and CD163. The stromal CD86/CD163 ratio was calculated as a prognostic biomarker for recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Patients with a low CD86/CD163 ratio had shorter RFS (HR=0.193, p<0.001) and OS (HR=0.180, p<0.001) than patients with a high CD86/CD163 ratio in the training cohort. CD86/CD163 ratio may be an independent predictor for RFS (HR=0.233, p<0.001) and OS (HR=0.224, p<0.001) in the training cohort. We obtained equivalent results in the validation cohort. The CD86/CD163 ratio tends to have better predictive values than tumor stage in the training (AUC: 0.682 vs 0.654, p=0.538) and validation (AUC: 0.697 vs 0.659, p=0.586) cohorts. CD86/CD163 ratio effectively predicts RFS for stage II (HR=0.203, p<0.001) and stage III CRC (HR=0.302, p<0.001). CD86/CD163 ratio also effectively predicts RFS in CRC patients with adjutant chemotherapy (HR=0.258, p<0.001) and without adjutant chemotherapy (HR=0.205, p<0.001). The stromal CD86/CD163 ratio could be used for individual risk assessment of recurrence and mortality for stage II-III CRC. Together with tumor stage, this ratio will aid in the personal treatment.
Promoting Instrument Development for New Research Avenues in Ocean Science: Opening the Black Box of Grazing

While recent research has provided increasing insight into ocean ecosystem functions and rapidly improving predictive ability, it has become clear that for some key processes, including grazing by zooplankton, there simply is no currently available instrumentation to quantify relevant stocks and rates, remotely or in situ. When measurement capacity is lacking, collaborative research between instrument manufacturers and researchers can bring us closer to addressing key knowledge gaps. By necessity, this high risk, high rewards research will require iterative steps from best case scenarios under highly controlled and often artificial laboratory conditions to empirical verification in complex in situ conditions with diverse biota. To illustrate our point, we highlight the example of zooplankton grazing in marine planktonic food webs. Grazing by single-celled zooplankton accounts for the majority of organic carbon loss from marine primary production but is still measured with logistically demanding, point-sample incubation methods that result in reproducible results but at insufficient resolution to adequately describe temporal and spatial dynamics of grazer induced impacts on primary production, export production and the annual cycle of marine plankton. We advance a collaborative research and development agenda to eliminate this knowledge gap. Resolving primary production losses through grazing is fundamental to a predictive understanding of the transfer of matter and energy through marine ecosystems, major reservoirs of the global carbon cycle.
