Comparative Study on the Social Behavior of Sambar Deer (Rusa Unicolor) in Three Selected Captive Facilities in Peninsular Malaysia
Authors: Selvarajah Kushaal , Mohd Nadzir Mohd Noor Hisham , Annavi Geetha
Published: January 2022

Sambar deer was up-listed from Least Concern to Vulnerable by the IUCN Red list in 2015. The local government has initiated Ex-situ conservation efforts to boost sambar deer numbers in captivity and reintroduce them into the wild. The reproductive success of sambar deer and their welfare management practices in captivity are important components for effective captive breeding programs. However, there has been a lack of study on sambar deer in recent years, especially about their behavior in captivity. This study aimed to identify environmental factors that may influence the behavior of the captive sambar. Three captive sites were selected and observed for an average of 40 days at each site (minimum 37 days to maximum 43 days, 6 hours/day). A Generalized Linear Model was used to determine the correlation between social behavior and extrinsic parameters. ‘Captive sites’ showed the strongest correlation in behavioral variability environmental settings, such as the size of the enclosure, could force the deer to spend more time in a herd, which increases the frequency in grooming, which was recorded to be highest in Zoo Negara compared to other captive sites. Time of day also significantly influenced certain behavior skewed towards morning slots. It could be due to an adaptive behavior to the feeding time in the captive sites being often in the morning, which caused the deer to rest towards the afternoon. A suggestion would be to create a more erratic feeding schedule to ensure that the deer adapt to behavior variations. An extensive study needs to be done on sambar deer to pinpoint the specifics and better understand these possible influential factors in their behavior.

Introdução: No intuito de compreender parte do vasto e do complexo universo da saúde e doença é preciso, antes de tudo, humildade para reconhecer que todo é qualquer estudo sobre essa temática é parcial e provisório. É preciso, escolher caminhos e recortes para abordá-lo. Essa contextualização é necessária em razão de que saúde e doença não representam a mesma coisa para as pessoas, pois que diversos fatores podem influenciar a percepção de cada um. Visto que, isso vai depender do contexto em que a pessoa vive, bem como das suas relações sociais, dos seus valores, das suas concepções científicas, religiosas e filosóficas. Objetivo: Conhecer a percepção dos professores que atuam na rede pública estadual de ensino no município de cascavel/PR, sobre o processo saúde e doença no cotidiano do trabalho. Métodos: Foi realizado uma pesquisa de campo, de cunho exploratório e qualitativo. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado um roteiro semiestruturado, aplicado na forma de entrevistas à 15 (quinze) professores. Depois os dados foram agrupados e analisados por meio da Técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados: Constatou-se que, os professores estão expostos a uma sobrecarga de atividades laborais e 100% dos entrevistados afirmam que já trabalharam doentes. Logo, as circunstâncias do cotidiano, influência sobremaneira na saúde. Conclusão: Infere-se que, diante do caleidoscópio do processo saúde e doença há características objetivas e subjetivas que extrapola o corpo físico e biológico, afetando sua dimensão mental, social e cultural, perceptíveis nos relatos dos professores, em suas relações em sala da de aula.

Published: January 2022

The biology and ecology of parasitic insects are closely related to the life of people, and the leading role belongs to animal husbandry. It is difficult to overestimate the negative influence of parasitic dipterans on productive animals, especially during the season of their mass reproduction and distribution. The work aimed to study the species composition of Diptera in different livestock biocenoses in eastern and central Ukraine. Entomological nets and traps were used to capture zoophilic flies, the number of insects was determined using the fly index, and luminescent markers TAT 33 with a powder fraction of 30 microns. The collected insects were identified according to the existing modern identifiers. As a result of the studies, the presence of Musca domestica (Linnaeus, 1758) was determined in all livestock facilities for keeping animals and birds. The largest number of house flies was noted in the facilities for keeping sows with suckling pigs (312.0±35.3) and fattening animals (277.5±6.1). M. domestica, M. autumnalis, and S. calcitrans accounted for 75.57% of the entire complex of zoophilic flies. The species M. vitripennis, M. tempestiva, L. irritans, H. atripalpis also occupied an important place among the species that form the entomoparasitocenosis (18.91%). In pasture biotopes, two species of flies (Ortellia caesarion Meigen and Ortellia cornicina Fabr.) have been identified. They do not attack animals, but are mineralisers of cattle feces. Luminiferous marker L-1 basic green (TAT 33) fixes well on insects and lasts for 5 days. The density of the fly population in the pig houses is 36% higher than in the calf houses. The results obtained are the basis for the development of innovative, scientifically grounded schemes for control and the fight against parasitic insects at livestock enterprises

Published: January 2022

Potatoes are one of the most responsive crops for grooming techniques since in the period from seedlings before closing rows are easily suppressed by weeds that take away nutrients, water, light from it. The factor that causes high harm to potatoes is weed. By absorbing a large number of nutrients and moisture from the soil, weeds inhibit the growth and development of plants, reducing their potential productivity. The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of the timing of the introduction of bedding manure in conjunction with mineral fertilizers and planting density on the weediness of potato plantings. Studies were provided to identify the impact of the timing of bedding manure together with mineral fertilizers and planting density for weed planting potatoes. Experiments were laid by the systematic method with a tiered arrangement of variants in the experiment with a 3-fold repetition. We used cattle manure on straw bedding for autumn-winter harvesting. The following types of fertilizers were used: ammonium nitrate, double superphosphate, potassium chloride. Determination of the amount and biomass of weeds in potato plantings was carried out in the flowering phase and before harvesting. The application of manure was accompanied by an increase in the number and weight of weeds. Annual weeds predominated in potato plantings: Amaranthus retroflexus L., 1753 and Amaranthus blitoides S. Watson, 1877, Chenopodium album L. Chenopodium album L., 1753, Setaria P. Beauv, 1812 and Setaria viridis (L.) P. Beauv, 1812, Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) BEAUV., 1812 and others, perennials included Cirsium arvense (L.) SCOP. 1772 and Sonchus arvensis L., 1753, (Elytrigia repens (L.) DESV. ex NEVSKI, 1933 and others. Planting density also has a definite effect on the development of weeds. When manure was applied in autumn under the plow, the number of weeds increased in comparison with other options, where only mineral fertilizers were applied. The application of manure over frozen plow and in winter over snow leads to a slight decrease (2.3-2.5 pcs/m2) of weeds. The greatest number of weeds is observed during the spring application of manure for plowing the fall plow. Nevertheless, studies aimed at clarifying the composition and structure of weediness, the number and weight of weeds in potato plantings are of great practical importance for local agricultural producers. These data should contribute to the development of an effective weed control system and high yields of potatoes in the region

At present, there is a reorientation of the current model of the market economy towards the principles of sustainable development. The process is accompanied by the implication of the marketing concept of managing socio-economic systems, the technology of which provides reasoning of the determined guidelines that must be adhered to. In this context, the coherence of marketing imperatives is a determinant of ensuring the development of socio-economic systems, whereas the marketing-imperative approach should be considered one of the levers of sustainable economic development. Therefore, the purpose of the study is a complex substantiation of the theoretical and methodological content of marketing imperatives, the interpretation of their coherent influence on the management of socio-economic systems. The methodological basis of the study is an integrated combination of general scientific methods of systematic cognition and possibilities of application of specific methodological approaches to solving problems and verification of the formulated study hypothesis; the methods include monographic, hypothetical prediction, abstract-logical, induction and deduction, historical and economic, structural-functional analysis, abstraction and content analysis, construction of concepts and categories, graphical and tabular. The study provides insights into the special features of the evolution of the etymological essence of the imperative in the context of transformations of socio-economic systems; the essence of marketing imperatives in view of marketing ideology is substantiated; the mechanism of transformation of objectives into imperatives in achieving the goal of socio-economic system is developed; the necessity of the implication of the marketing-imperative approach in sustainable economic development is proved. The practical value of the study consists in the scientific substantiation of the theoretical and methodological content of marketing imperatives, the specification of their coherent impact on the management of socio-economic systems. Further studies are aimed at developing criteria for measurement, assessment, and interpretation of the effect after the implementation of marketing imperatives with subsequent testing of results
Habitat conditions in streams influence Odonata larval assemblages in the eastern Amazon
Authors: Barbosa Ribeiro Rodrigo Arison , Juen Leandro , Schlemmer Brasil Leandro
Published: January 2022

The growth of agricultural and mining activities in the Amazon has impacted land-use and caused significant changes in the local environmental conditions of streams. In the face of these changes, our study aimed at assessing how environmental changes affect Odonata larval assemblages in streams in the eastern Amazon. We hypothesized that habitat conditions in streams are strong predictors of Odonata larval assemblages. We sampled 30 headwater streams (1st through 3rd order) in the eastern Amazon. We corroborated our hypothesis that regional- and local-scale environmental changes are important predictors of the Odonata larval assemblage structure. These results indicate that environmental conditions within the stream channel are important to maintain Odonata larval assemblages, as they provide important resources for larval development. For new studies, we recommend the assessment of temporal dynamics to evaluate whether these patterns are stable across time. Finally, evaluating various environmental scales of the original impact is extremely relevant for preventing the deterioration of or recuperating aquatic assemblages in Amazonian streams, considering the ongoing rapid environmental changes and deforestation in the region. Here we demonstrate that in-stream environmental conditions are important to assemblage structure and this must be considered in environmental restoration plans.

Con el objetivo de evaluar la inclusión de proporciones de harina de hojas de orégano (HHO) en el alimento balanceado comercial (ABC) de pollos de engorde, se cuantificó en fase de inicio y de engorde, el peso corporal (PC), ganancia diaria de peso (GDP), consumo diario de alimento (CDA), índice conversión alimenticia (ICA) y mortalidad (MO) en un diseño experimental completamente al azar. Se utilizaron 208 pollitos de la línea Ross distribuidos en cuatro tratamientos: ABC100%: 100% de alimento balanceado; ABC+0,25HHO: Alimento balanceado+0,25% de harina de orégano; ABC+0,50HHO: Alimento balanceado+0,50% de harina de orégano y ABC+0,75HHO: Alimento balanceado+0,75% de harina de orégano, con cuatro repeticiones y 13 aves por unidad experimental. Las variables PC y GDP fueron analizadas por regresión, mientras que CDA, ICA y MO fueron comparadas por estadística descriptiva. El PC logró diferencias significativas al final de las fases de inicio y engorde, siendo el tratamiento ABC+0,25HHO, obteniendo el mejor resultado (773,18 y 2196,11g, respectivamente). La GDP siguió la misma tendencia del PC, donde el tratamiento ABC+0,25HHO mostró el mayor valor, con 35,01 y 67,71g a los 21 y 42 días, respectivamente. Las variables CDA e ICA se vieron favorecidas con la dieta ABC+0,25HHO. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticas para la mortalidad. La adición de 0,25% de harina de hojas de orégano (HHO), como aditivo fitogénico en la dieta de pollos de engorde, tuvo efecto positivo sobre el peso corporal, ganancia diaria de peso, consumo de alimento y conversión alimenticia durante la fase de inicio y engorde.

Desde 2008, la empresa multinacional de publicidad Havas Media Group y la también multinacional de asesoría en comunicación audiovisual y producción Vivendi Brand Marketing, ambas de nacionalidad francesa, publican el estudio Meaningful Brands. Dicho estudio consiste, tal como manifiestan los creadores, en avanzar más allá del producto, explorando cómo las marcas mejoran la vida de las personas y su papel en la sociedad. Es un estudio de ámbito mundial, con entrevistas a 350.000 personas (38.000 en España), en 31 países, sobre 22 sectores y 1.800 marcas. Se trata de un estudio singular de amplio espectro, que pretende ayudar a las marcas a ver cómo son vistas por el consumidor o usuario. Dada la importancia de este estudio, el objetivo de esta investigación es, siguiendo su enfoque, aportar datos para la toma de decisiones de los gestores empresariales teniendo en cuenta el punto de vista de los directivos de marketing y comunicación de las marcas. A fin de cumplir con esta finalidad, se ha realizado una encuesta sobre este colectivo (n = 53) para analizar los factores dispositivos españoles que ponen en marcha proyectos de contenidos de las marcas. Los resultados alcanzados permiten afirmar que los objetivos de las marcas, en relación con su voluntad de emitir contenidos, no coinciden con las necesidades de los consumidores. La disfunción no es total, pero resultaría conveniente una mayor investigación acerca de las necesidades de los clientes.

Published: January 2022

Garcinia intermedia (Pittier) Hammel, known as the lemon drop mangosteen in English and by a variety of names including limoncillo and toronjil in Mexico, belongs to the family Clusiaceae, and is distributed in the warm tropical regions of Mexico and Central America at elevations of 300 to 1,000 m. It is an underutilized fruit tree that reaches up to 20 m in height and produces yellow fruits with up to four seeds. The pulp is bittersweet and is highly valued by the rural population of the regions where it grows, where bats and spider monkeys also consume it. The fruit has medicinal properties; it is rich in benzophenones, which attack colon cancer cells. The fruit of G. intermedia has higher antioxidant capacity than the fruit of the mangosteen (G. mangostana Linn.); however, little is known about the horticultural management of this species, and basic knowledge, such as asexual propagation or postharvest conservation, has not been reported. There is no information on ex situ conservation of this species in Mexico and Central America, and no selection of outstanding specimens with high quality fruits has been made. Most of the information reported so far for this species is about its ecology and medicinal properties.

Abstract. During March–June 2017 emissions of nitrogen oxides were measured via eddy covariance at the British Telecom Tower in central London, UK. Through the use of a footprint model the expected emissions were simulated from the spatially resolved National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory for 2017, and compared with the measured emissions. These simulated emissions were shown to underestimate measured emissions during the day time by a factor of 1.48, but they agreed well overnight. Furthermore, underestimations were spatially mapped and the areas around the measurement site responsible for differences in measured and simulated emissions inferred. It was observed that areas of higher traffic, such as major roads near national rail stations, showed the greatest underestimation by the simulated emissions. These discrepancies are partially attributed to a combination of the inventory not fully capturing traffic conditions in central London, and both spatial and temporal resolution of the inventory not fully describing the high heterogeneity of the urban centre. Understanding of this underestimation may further improved with longer measurement time series ,to better understand temporal variation, and improved temporal scaling factors, to better simulate sub-annual emissions.
Retrieval of the land-sea contrast of cloud liquid water path by applying a physical inversion algorithm to combined zenith and off-zenith ground-based microwave measurements
Authors: Kostsov Vladimir , Ionov Dmitry , Kniffka Anke
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Combined zenith and off-zenith ground-based observations by modern microwave radiometers provide an opportunity to study horizontal inhomogeneities of the humidity field in the troposphere and of the cloud liquid water path (LWP) spatial distribution. However, practical applications are difficult and require thorough analysis of the information content of measurements, assessment of errors of data processing algorithm and the development of the quality control procedures. In this study we analyse the application of our LWP retrieval algorithm based on the inversion of the radiative transfer equation to the problem of detection of the LWP horizontal inhomogeneities by means of ground-based microwave observations in the vicinity of a coastline of a water object of medium size. The study is based on data acquired by the microwave radiometer RPG-HATPRO which is located in the suburbs of St.Petersburg, Russia, at 2.5 km distance from the coastline of the Neva Bay (the Gulf of Finland) and is operating in angular scanning mode in the vertical plane. The retrieval setup is organised in such a way that zenith and off-zenith measurements provide equal sensitivity to atmospheric parameters. The optimal elevation angles for off-zenith observations are selected. The possibility to detect LWP horizontal inhomogeneity, namely the LWP land-sea contrast, for different measurement geometries (elevation angles) and values of cloud base height is analysed. It is shown that ground-based microwave observations in the vicinity of a coastline can be a valuable tool for validation of the space-borne measurements of the LWP land-sea contrast if three principal requirements are met: (a) the multi-parameter physical inversion method is used for retrieving LWP; (b) rigorous bias correction and quality control procedures are applied to the retrieval results; (c) the information on the cloud base height is available. As a result of processing the microwave measurements at the observational site of St.Petersburg State University, the monthly-averaged values of the LWP land-sea difference have been obtained for summer months within the period 2013–2021. For 24 out of 25 months of high quality observations, the LWP land-sea monthly difference is positive (larger values over land and smaller values over water) and can reach 0.06–0.07 kg m−2. The estimations of the LWP land-sea contrast obtained from the ground-based microwave measurements at the observational site of St.Petersburg University are in very good agreement with the values of the LWP land-sea contrast obtained from the multi-year space-borne measurements by the SEVIRI instrument (Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager) in the region of the Neva Bay (the Gulf of Finland) in June and July. For August, the so-called “August anomaly” detected by space-borne observations is not confirmed by the ground-based measurements.

Published: January 2022

Abstract. The continuous development of new proxies as well as a refinement of existing tools are key to advances in paleoclimate research and improvements in the accuracy of existing climate reconstructions. Herein, we build on recent methodological progress in dendroanatomy – the analyses of wood anatomical parameters in dated tree rings – and introduce the longest (1585–2014 CE) dendroanatomical dataset currently developed for North America. We explore the potential of dendroanatomy of high-elevation Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) as a proxy of past temperatures by measuring anatomical cell dimensions of 15 living trees from the Columbia Icefield area. There, X-ray maximum latewood density (MXD) and its blue intensity counterpart (MXBI) have previously been measured, which allows comparing the different parameters. Our findings highlight anatomical MXD and maximum radial cell wall thickness as the two most promising wood anatomical proxy parameters for past temperatures, each explaining 46 % and 49 %, respectively, of instrumental, high-pass filtered, July–August maximum temperatures over the 1901–1994 period. While both parameters display comparable climatic imprinting at higher frequencies to X-ray derived MXD, the anatomical dataset distinguishes itself from its predecessors by providing the most temporally stable warm-season temperature signal. For the long-term secular trends, discrepancies between anatomical MXD and maximum radial cell wall thickness chronologies were observed, where the former more closely follow the long-term variations of the X-ray based MXD. Further studies, including samples from more diverse age cohorts and the adaptation of RCS-based standardizations, are needed to disentangle the ontogenetic and climatic components of long-term signals stored in the wood anatomical traits and to more comprehensively evaluate the potential contribution of this new dataset to paleoclimate research.
Stratigraphic templates for ice core records of the past 1.5 million years
Authors: Wolff Eric W. , Fischer Hubertus , van Ommen Tas , Hodell David A.
Published: January 2022

Abstract. The international ice core community has a target to obtain continuous ice cores stretching back as far as 1.5 million years. This would provide vital data (including a CO2 profile) allowing us to assess ideas about the cause of the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT). The European Beyond EPICA project and the Australian Million Year Ice Core project each plan to drill such a core in the region known as Little Dome C. Dating the cores will be challenging, and one approach will be to match some of the records obtained with existing marine sediment datasets, informed by similarities in the existing 800 kyr period. Water isotopes in Antarctica have been shown to closely mirror deepwater temperature, estimated from Mg / Ca ratios of benthic foraminifera, in a marine core on the Chatham Rise near to New Zealand. The dust record in ice cores resembles very closely a South Atlantic marine record of iron accumulation rate. By assuming these relationships continue beyond 800 ka, our ice core record could be synchronised to dated marine sediments. This could be supplemented, and allow synchronisation at higher resolution, by the identification of rapid millennial scale-events that are observed both in Antarctic methane records and in emerging records of planktic oxygen isotopes and alkenone sea surface temperature (SST) from the Portuguese Margin. Although published data remain quite sparse, it should also be possible to match 10Be from ice cores to records of geomagnetic palaeointensity and authigenic 10Be/9Be in marine sediments. However, there are a number of issues that have to be resolved before the ice core 10Be record can be used. The approach of matching records to a template will be most successful if the new core is in stratigraphic order, but should also provide constraints on disordered records, if used in combination with absolute radiogenic ages.
Short Communication: Mechanism and Prevention of Irreversible Trapping of Atmospheric He During Mineral Crushing
Authors: Cox Stephen Ellis , Miller Hayden Bryce Dutcher , Hofmann Florian , Farley Kenneth Anthony
Published: January 2022

Abstract. A pervasive challenge in noble gas geochemistry is to ensure that analytical techniques do not modify the composition of the noble gases in the samples. Noble gases are present in the atmosphere and are used in a number of manufacturing procedures and by laboratory equipment. Of particular concern is the introduction of atmospheric or laboratory noble gases to samples during preparation before samples are placed in a vacuum chamber for analysis. Recent work has shown the potential for contamination of crushed samples with air-derived He that is not released by placing the samples under vacuum at low temperature. Using pure He gas as a tracer, we show that the act of crushing samples to a fine powder itself can introduce He contamination, but that this is easily avoided by crushing under liquid or in an inert atmosphere. Because the He is trapped during crushing, the same concern does not extend to samples that are naturally fine-grained when collected. The degree of He contamination even from crushing samples to sizes smaller than typically used for geochronology is insignificant for samples at least 1 Ma and with more than 1 ppm U when the guidelines outlined here are followed.
Modeling reservoir surface temperatures for regional and global climate models: a multi-model study on the inflow and level variation effects

Published: January 2022

Abstract. The complexity of the state-of-the-art climate models
requires high computational resources and imposes rather simplified
parameterization of inland waters. The effect of lakes and reservoirs on the
local and regional climate is commonly parameterized in regional or global
climate modeling as a function of surface water temperature estimated by
atmosphere-coupled one-dimensional lake models. The latter typically neglect
one of the major transport mechanisms specific to artificial reservoirs:
heat and mass advection due to inflows and outflows. Incorporation of these
essentially two-dimensional processes into lake parameterizations requires a
trade-off between computational efficiency and physical soundness, which is
addressed in this study. We evaluated the performance of the two most used
lake parameterization schemes and a machine-learning approach on
high-resolution historical water temperature records from 24 reservoirs.
Simulations were also performed at both variable and constant water level to
explore the thermal structure differences between lakes and reservoirs. Our
results highlight the need to include anthropogenic inflow and outflow
controls in regional and global climate models. Our findings also highlight
the efficiency of the machine-learning approach, which may overperform
process-based physical models in both accuracy and computational
requirements if applied to reservoirs with long-term observations
available. Overall, results suggest that the combined use of process-based
physical models and machine-learning models will considerably improve the
modeling of air–lake heat and moisture fluxes. A relationship between mean
water retention times and the importance of inflows and outflows is
established: reservoirs with a retention time shorter than ∼ 100 d, if simulated without inflow and outflow effects, tend to exhibit a
statistically significant deviation in the computed surface temperatures
regardless of their morphological characteristics.
DEVELOPMENT OF 3D MARINE CADASTRE DATA MODEL BASED ON LAND ADMINISTRATION DOMAIN MODEL
Authors: Zamzuri A. , Hassan I. , Abdul Rahman A.
Published: January 2022

Abstract. A new version of the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) has been discussed and is under further development in ISO/TC 211 on Geographic Information. One of the extending parts is where the model can accommodate complex and advanced marine properties and cadastral objects. Currently, the fundamentals part of this new version (LADM Edition II) has been examined by the committee, and a few elements need to be considered, especially for marine space georegulation. Based on the possibility of embedding LADM with marine cadastre as agreed by several researchers, the concept of marine cadastre data model within land administration context has been anticipated in many countries (e.g., Canada, Greece, Turkey, Australia, and Malaysia). Part of the research focused on constructing and developing the appropriate data models to manage marine spaces and resources most effectively. Several studies have attempted to establish a conceptual model for marine cadastre in Malaysia. However, there is still no acceptable marine data model. Thus, this paper proposed a marine data model for Malaysia based on the international standard, LADM. The approach, by definition, can be applied to the marine environment in terms of controlling and modelling a variety of rights, responsibilities, and restrictions. The Unified Modelling Language (UML) application was utilized to construct the conceptual and technical models via Enterprise Architect as part of the validation process. The data model was constructed within the marine's concept in Malaysia to meet international standards. The features of the data model were also discussed in the FIG workshop (9th LADM International Workshop 2021). The experiment on the data model also includes 3D visualization and simple query.
Discrete element method investigation of the milling characteristic in a rice mill

Abstract. A milling chamber consisting of a rice sieve and a rotating roller plays critical roles in modulating the milling performance of rice grains.
However, the mechanism of how the geometries of the rice sieve and rotating roller affect the particle collisions and the interaction time
remains not fully understood. Our experimental results show that the milling
degree and rate of broken rice of the octagonal rice sieve are largest among the hexagonal sieve, octagonal sieve, and circular sieve. Through
the discrete element method, we illustrate that the peak milling degree at the octagonal sieve is attributed to the competition between the
decreasing force and increasing milling time with the increase in edges. In addition, the geometries of the convex ribs of the rotating roller are
investigated to optimize the structure of the milling chamber. In the
left-hand spiral or right-hand spiral of the convex ribs, the rice particles
are accumulated in the inlet or outlet regions, respectively, which leads to
an uneven milling degree in the axial direction. The uniformity of a milling process can be promoted by increasing the number of convex ribs, which will
reduce the milling degree on the other hand.
Cláusulas escalonadas: repercussões da mediação na arbitragem
Authors: Ferreira Ana Betina
Published: January 2022

O presente trabalho de pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar a combinação de dois métodos extrajudiciais de resolução de conflitos, a arbitragem e a mediação. O sistema híbrido de tratamento de controvérsias pode ser propiciado a partir da cláusula mista e escalonada (multietapas), prevista nos contratos. As cláusulas escalonadas oferecem um amplo tratamento a causas com alta complexidade que surgem ao longo da execução de contratos empresariais, viabilizando uma maior autonomia da vontade na tomada de decisão em meio a controvérsias e, assim, a manutenção do relacionamento a longo prazo, com maior adequação às reais necessidades e interesses dos envolvidos. Os benefícios da mediação no procedimento arbitral configuram-se, ainda, na celeridade do procedimento e redução de custos financeiros, quando adotadas as cautelas necessárias à previsão do sistema híbrido. A mediação tem se caracterizado como um meio de transformação e, assim, manutenção das relações de longa duração, sendo eficaz em contratos de negócios.
The politics of style: staying alive
Authors: Brophy Kevin
Published: January 2022

For the poet style is a matter of life and death. Far from being an adornment to an artefact, style is central to what is communicated by a poet. Aristotle identified the two tendencies in style, that towards a language of the people, and that towards an exotic, metaphoric language. The aims of these extremes of style, he suggested, are in turn clarity and dignity. There is a continuing politics and a continuing war between writers committed to one or the other extreme of style in literature. William Carlos Williams and TS Eliot were in opposite camps when it came to a stand on style. Annie Dillard and more lately James Wood continue the debate in their essays on style in prose fiction. William Gass and Raymond Carver provide examples of commitment to one or the other mode. Putting aside the debate over which camp a writer might belong in, I pursue the question of what might make a style ‘work’ or not work. Adapting ideas expressed by Christopher Alexander in his 1979 architectural study of the ‘timeless’ way of building, I propose that beyond the politics of style there is the question of whether one’s style is ‘alive’ - and that this question is, for poets, at the centre of what they are communicating, and whether they can live as writers. I offer examples of writers from the absurdist Russian movement of the 1930s and from the romantic poet, Heinrich von Kleist who wrote an unfinished essay on ‘The Gradual Production of Thoughts while Speaking’. Style, in this view, is not only a central element of communication but as a living and lived expression it must always itself be unfinished.
Crossworld Predication in Natural Language
Authors: Борисов Евгений Васильевич
Published: January 2022

Некоторые предложения естественного языка, такие как «Джон мог быть выше, чем Мэри, как она есть», не допускают адекватного анализа в терминах стандартной семантики возможных миров, поскольку содержат кросс-мировую предикацию, которая в стандартной семантике не отображается. Для логического анализа такого рода предложений автором была разработана (и представлена в других публикациях) логика для кросс-мировой предикации (СРL). В статье приведен ряд примеров, демонстрирующих широкую распространенность феномена кросс-мировой предикации в естественном языке и описаны главные особенности семантики СРL (кросс-мировая интерпретация предикатов и использование частичных функций от переменных к возможным мирам в истинностной оценке формул), а также охарактеризована специфика синтаксиса СРL и онтологии, лежащей в ее основе.

Some sentences of natural language cannot be adequately analyzed in terms of standard possible world semantics because they involve cross-world predication that cannot be reflected by means of standard semantics. An instance is ‘John might be taller than Mary is’. In some other papers the author proposed a logic for cross-word predication (CPL) that can be used to logically analyze sentences of this sort. In this paper, some examples are adduced that show that cross-world predication is highly widespread in natural language. The main features of the semantics of CPL are described, namely cross-world interpretation of predicates, and using partial functions from variables to possible worlds in the evaluation of formulas. Finally, the specificity of the syntax of CPL, and the ontology behind the semantics of CPL is characterized.

ENERGY-ECOLOGICAL EFFICIENCY OF AGROECOSYSTEM OF WEST KAZAKHSTAN
Authors:   Aktobe Regional University named after K. Zhubanov, KUSSAINOV Khalel
Published: January 2022

The negative balance of the reproduction of soil energy indicates a deep ecological and energy crisis in agriculture. Analyzed: indicators of the use of biological factors, such as solar energy and the energy of soil fertility, affect the ecological and economic efficiency of agricultural production; the efficiency of using solar energy and the coefficient of its efficiency. The required level of productivity has been determined to maintain the annual deficit-free soil balance in the western region of Kazakhstan. The necessity of state regulation to determine the critical threshold of the yield level to compensate for the deficiency of soil energy at the expense of other sources of organic matter has been substantiated. For the modernization and ecological optimization of agriculture, a bio-energetic model of individual crop rotations was built, which also includes indicators of crop yield, the degree of mineralization of soil organic matter and some other standard indicators.
