Authors: Bezuhla Liudmyla
Published: February 2021

The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of the macro environment on ecotourism infrastructure. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of the article is the basic provisions of the theory of ecotourism development in the conditions of transformational changes. To achieve the goal of the research, there were used general scientific theoretical methods: generalization, explanation, grouping – to analyze the views of economists on the object of study and to formulate conclusions of the content analysis of primary sources; analysis and synthesis – to substantiate the conceptual provisions, principles in solving research problems. Results. Ecotourism infrastructure plays a key role in the development of ecotourism. Its existence is associated with the state of productive forces and the territorial division of labor, as well as the efficiency of material production. The infrastructural arrangement of ecotourism, on the one hand, depends on the pace of modernization, and on the other hand, it acts as a driver of economic growth of ecotourism. The development of ecotourism infrastructure depends on the specifics of the industry and regions and is carried out in accordance with changes in the production sphere. It is given that infrastructure has a significant impact on the efficiency of economic entities through the participation of industrial and social services in the creation of consumer value and prices of services. Thus, it is important to study the impact of the macro environment on ecotourism infrastructure. Practical implications. The subject оf research is the theoretical and methodological, as well as scientific and practical principles of assessing the impact of the macro environment on ecotourism infrastructure. In the article, the principles of effective ecotourism with optimal ecotourism infrastructure usage have been justified. It is determined that the development of ecotourism can cause a variety of consequences at the local, regional and national levels, the range of which is from very favorable to destructive. Socio-economic aspects related to the development of ecotourism infrastructure are analyzed. Value/ originality. PEST-analysis of the impact of the macro environment on the ecotourism infrastructure was conducted. Having studied the impact of macroeconomic indicators on ecotourism infrastructure, it can be argued that it is optimal to put economic benefits in the foreground and ensure the preservation of their own habitat.

Published: February 2021

Introduction. The author discusses the data sources and design of a J. A. Maxwell validity-system-based study into inter-generational socio-cultural interaction. To form a comprehensive vision of the phenomenon of socio-cultural interaction and achieve the validity of the results, data triangulation (evidence collected from different sources) and methodological triangulation (use of different methods of information collection) should be used. Aim. To present a set of methods for empirical research into inter-generational socio-cultural interaction. Methods. A set of qualitative / quantitative instruments has been used to conduct the study. Results. The author describes the step-by-step strategy of empirical research, the inter-generational socio-cultural interaction analysis instruments, and the mixed research strategy methods / instruments. The quantitative block is presented by the author's questionnaire "Reflections", which is aimed at determining the main aspects of inter-generational interaction. The quality block is made up of: - The matrices method (M. B. Miles & A. M. Huberman) to determine the parameters of the inter-generetional unity; - The sound theory method (modified by K. Charmaz) needed to systematize inter-generational interactions in the socio-cultural context; - The discourse analysis method to find out the features of macro-social level generational practices; - The data integration method. Conclusions. The author considers the design of empirical research into inter-generational socio-cultural interaction, the quantitative and qualitative methods of mixed research and possibilities of data generalization by means of triangulation. The proposed research design allows exploring a complex process of inter-generational socio-cultural interaction, which has no a clear conceptual basis and standardized analysis system.

Published: February 2021

The goal of this research is to assist in quantifying the impact of enhanced occupancy information on the accuracy of building energy models compared to actual 15-minute data. Through gridded population data extraction and cross-reference with building location and area information, daytime and nighttime occupant density data that could be leveraged to modify the occupancy schedules are generated. This work will improve the ability to quantitatively estimate and empirically validate reductions in energy use intensity of individual buildings within a large area. Further, this work will test the value for sources of occupancy data to improve utility-scale models and create measures to assess the energy, demand, emissions, and cost-saving opportunities for a utility. This paper provides the methodology and detailed techniques that are used to achieve this aim.
System-based reliability analysis of stainless steel frames under gravity loads
Authors: Arrayago Itsaso
Published: February 2021

Current structural codes for steel and stainless steel structures such as AISC 360-16, AISC 370-21, AS/NZS 4100 and Eurocode 3 are based on the traditional two-step member-based design approach, in which internal actions are first obtained from a structural analysis, usually elastic, and the strength of each member and connection is subsequently checked using a structural design standard. However, the most recent versions of these standards already incorporate preliminary versions of the direct, or one-step, system-based design alternative, which is based on the design-by-analysis concept and allows evaluating the strength of structures directly from numerical simulations, although the standards in their current form do not provide reliability requirements for structural systems. Therefore, it is necessary to build a rigorous structural reliability framework to investigate acceptable target reliability indices for structural systems and to provide adequate system safety factors and system resistance factors. While this framework has been developed based on advanced Finite Element analysis for hot-rolled and cold-formed carbon steel structures in recent years in the form of the Direct Design Method (DDM), the framework does not exist for stainless steel structures. This paper presents an extension of the DDM to the analysis of stainless steel structures, in which system reliability calibrations are presented for six stainless steel portal frames under gravity loads covering the three most common stainless steel families and different failure modes using advanced numerical simulations. From the derived reliability calibrations, suitable system safety factors and system resistance factors are proposed for the direct design of stainless steel frames in the European, US and Australian design frameworks under gravity loads.

Replication, an important, uncommon, and misunderstood practice, is gaining appreciation in psychology. Achieving replicability is important for making research progress. If findings are not replicable, then prediction and theory development are stifled. If findings are replicable, then interrogation of their meaning and validity can advance knowledge. Assessing replicability can be productive for generating and testing hypotheses by actively confronting current understanding to identify weaknesses and spur innovation. For psychology, the 2010s might be characterized as a decade of active confrontation. Systematic and multi-site replication projects assessed current understanding and observed surprising failures to replicate many published findings. Replication efforts highlighted sociocultural challenges, such as disincentives to conduct replications, framing of replication as personal attack rather than healthy scientific practice, and headwinds for replication contributing to self-correction. Nevertheless, innovation in doing and understanding replication, and its cousins, reproducibility and robustness, have positioned psychology to improve research practices and accelerate progress.
Mapping the online songbird trade in Indonesia
Authors: Fink Christoph , Toivonen Tuuli , Correia Ricardo A. , Di Minin Enrico
Published: February 2021

Wildlife trade, when unsustainable, can be an important threat to biodiversity conservation. In this contribution, we explored the use of digital data to investigate the online market for songbirds in Indonesia, where keeping pet songbirds is a deeply rooted cultural practice. We examined the spatial characteristics of three dimensions of the songbird trade using data from online sources: birdwatchers’ sightings as a proxy for the supply of the songbird market, small ads from an online marketplace platform, representing the trade itself and its transactions, and videos by pet songbird owners to represent the demand side of the songbird market. We found that, geographically, these three stages of the songbird supply chain did not overlap, which potentially hints at the roles extended transport networks and commercial captive breeding play for the songbird trade. The trade was not confined to major cities but spread out through the country, indicating both a possible democratisation of the trade (i.e. a larger group of sellers, and consumers selling to consumers) and an opportunity to observe previously covert parts of the trade. We further found that the asking prices on online marketplaces were significantly higher than the prices stated in an independently carried out consumer survey, and discuss possible reasons. Data from digital sources can give rich insights into the spatial, temporal and taxonomic structure of wildlife trade, can help understand the motivations of buyers and sellers, and can help direct wildlife trade towards a more sustainable fashion. Our methodology toolbox that allows automatic and continuous monitoring of online marketplaces and includes data preparation and cleaning, and follows the highest standards of data privacy principles, is openly available.

Understanding Primary Curriculum from Philosophical Perspectives
Authors: Ranjitkar Kiran Ram
Published: February 2021

This paper is an attempt to understand philosophy / ideology hidden behind the present primary education curriculum of Nepal. The study was based on analysis of written curriculum published by Government of Nepal, Curriculum Development Center, Sanothimi. I applied the conceptual content analysis approach for the purpose of this study. My literature review consisted of general philosophies namely idealism, naturalism, realism, pragmatism and existentialism   and also educational philosophies such as perennialism, essentialism, progressivism and reconstructionism. Although the study focused on four elements, namely objectives, contents, teaching learning activities and evaluation process of curriculum, I made a brief analysis of aim, and contents of primary level as a whole. The current primary education curriculum is the mix of more than on philosophies emphasizing traditional ones, perennialism, and essentialism. I found negligible importance is given to critical components of learning therefore this component should be given more importance.
The morphohistology and fine anatomy of the olfactory organ in pabda catfish, Ompok bimaculatus (Bloch, 1794)
Authors: Ghosh Saroj Kumar
Published: February 2021

The organization of the olfactory system in Ompok bimaculatus (Siluriformes: Siluridae) were investigated by histological and ultrastructural analysis. The nasal chamber was totally engrossed by a boat shaped elongated olfactory rosette with numerous lamella. Histomicroscopically, each lamella was comprised of central core bounded on both sides by the cellular elements of olfactory epithelium. The central core was composed of thick connective tissue, nerve fibres and blood capillaries. The cellular components of the olfactory epithelium were identified based on their staining vigour, architecture, structural characteristics and surface features. The sensory epithelium contained morphologically recognizable ciliated, microvillous and rod receptor neurons. Labyrinth cells, scattered lymphatic cells, secretory mucous cells, stratified epithelial cells bearing microfolds and condensed ciliated supporting cells were observed in the indifferent epithelia. The basal cells were submerged in the deeper zone of mucosa above the basal lamina.  Different sensory and nonsensory cells of the olfactory lining were associated with chemical stimulation of the fish studied. This species acquires a well developed olfactory sense for exploring the aquatic environment and able to determine the chemical changes in the surroundings.
Comparative Analysis Of Mechanical Properties Of Rubber-Kenaf-Wire-Cotton Lamination On Epoxy-Carbon-Ramie Composite
Authors: Widi I Komang Astana
Published: February 2021

The use of fiber has been widely researched but the use of several fibers as reinforcement does not necessarily result in optimal mechanical properties. This study aimed to determine the tensile strength and impact strength of composite materials using an epoxy matrix with the addition of rubber variations to increase the ductility of the matrix. Meanwhile, the fibers used for reinforcement are carbon fiber and ramie. In this study, the reinforcement added a variety of kenaf fiber, wire and cotton. This was to compare the role of kenaf fiber, wire and cotton in improving the mechanical properties of composite materials. The percentage of rubber volume fraction added to the epoxy is 30%, 40% and 50%.The highest tensile test results were shown in the 30% epoxy rubber-carbon fiber-ramie fiber-kenaf specimen which was 10.67 Kgf / mm2, and the lowest result was the epoxy 50% rubber-carbon fiber-ramie-wire specimen, which was 5.752 kgf / mm2. The fracture analysis of the tensile test showed that the fracture area is formed by debonding phenomena between fibers and matrices.The highest impact strength was found in the 50% epoxy rubber-carbon fiber-ramie-wire specimen, which was 0.039 kgf / mm2. Meanwhile, the lowest impact strength was found in the 40% epoxy rubber-carbon fiber-ramie fiber-cotton specimen, which was 0.030 kgf/ mm2. In general, the trend of impact test data shows that as the percentage volume fraction of rubber increases, the impact strength of the composite material increases.Based on the test analysis, it was concluded that increasing the percentage of rubber will increase the impact strength of the woven wire reinforcement. However, the impact strength is inversely proportional to kenaf fiber reinforcement, where the addition of the percentage of rubber will reduce the impact strength. This showed that the mechanical properties were not always influenced by the percentage of rubber but were very dependent on the type of fiber. This was also shown in the results of the tensile strength test. In general, it was known that the adhesion between fiber and matrix laminates affected the mechanical properties in addition to the strength of the reinforcement.
To Dream Differently: Consumerism and Social Transformations in Canadian Prairie History
Authors: Thompson Connor J.
Published: February 2021

This article offers an analysis of Prairie consumer culture and its development in the region, arguing for the utility of regional analysis in understanding how popular culture and consumerism have influenced religious history, and neoliberal social history more broadly, over time. Unlike some other regions of North America, the Canadian Prairies were once characterized by the widespread influence of Protestant social gospel thought, which was, if not outright anti-capitalist, amenable to socialism and rooted in cooperative ethics. This has changed in the latter half of the twentieth century into the twenty-first, where the region is now well known for being a bastion of Canadian conservatism. It has also seen a sharp increase in people stating that they have no religion. Foregrounding this transformation in the context of the significant socio-economic change of the Prairies, this article analyzes the increasing social valuation of individualism, the connotations that “religion” has for historical actors, and the growing influence of consumerism. A case study of the West Edmonton Mall illustrates how vital consumerism and the segregation of social desire is to the Prairie region and the importance of the myths, symbols, and rituals that are cultivated within such spaces. As such, the dreams offered by contemporary popular culture and individualist spiritualities have—over the course of the twentieth century—replaced those offered by the social gospel and farmer’s political parties. This article concludes by suggesting that comparison of the different regions of North America can aid in more deeply understanding how popular culture and consumerism have influenced their religious history.

La pratique tabagique après l’annonce d’un cancer : étude qualitative auprès des patients diagnostiqués d’un carcinome épidermoïde des voies aérodigestives supérieures dans un centre de lutte contre le cancer
Authors: Brossier M. , Deneuve S. , Saintigny P. , Regnier Denois V.
Published: February 2021

Le tabac est un facteur de risque majeur du cancer des voies aérodigestives supérieures. Le sevrage tabagique permet d’améliorer l’état de santé du patient, son taux de survie, et de diminuer les comorbidités et le risque d’autres cancers. La recommandation du sevrage tabagique est donc importante. Cependant, le taux d’arrêt du tabac après l’annonce de ce cancer reste faible. Il est donc nécessaire de comprendre les raisons d’une poursuite ou de l’arrêt de la pratique tabagique après l’annonce de la maladie. Dans cet objectif nous avons réalisé une enquête qualitative au sein d’un centre de lutte contre le cancer. Après des observations de consultation, nous avons rencontré des patients afin de recueillir leur expérience, leurs usages et pratiques, et ainsi leurs représentations du tabac malgré la maladie. Ces données qualitatives nous ont permis de mieux comprendre les différentes raisons qui permettent à certains patients d’envisager ou bien de débuter un processus de sevrage, et ceux pour qui l’arrêt définitif du tabac est difficile à envisager même à la suite de l’annonce du cancer.

Die Sozialwahlen in der Krise: E-Democracy als Chance?
Authors: Fromm Nadin , Schreiner Christian
Published: February 2021

Alle sechs Jahre werden in Deutschland per Briefwahl Vertreter gewählt, die sich in Gremien der gesetzlichen Krankenkassen und der Rentenversicherung für die Interessen der Sozialversicherten einsetzen. Dieses Prinzip der Selbstverwaltung des deutschen Sozialversicherungssystems besteht seit dem 19. Jahrhundert. Doch die Sozialversicherungswahlen befinden sich seit längerem in der Krise: Sie verfügen über eine geringe Bekanntheit und eine niedrige Wahlbeteiligung bei proportional großem Aufwand und hohen Kosten. Der vorliegende Artikel analysiert, inwieweit Elemente von E Democracy geeignet sind, das traditionsreiche Instrument zu stärken, um so die Bekanntheit der Sozialversicherungswahlen zu steigern. Anhand der vier Stufen von Partizipation (Information, Konsultation, Kooperation, Mitentscheidung) wird auf Basis empirischer Daten diskutiert, ob E-Voting die Möglichkeiten zur Mitbestimmung erweitert.
Exploring data-in-use: the value of data for Local Government
Authors: Tetley-Brown Lucille , Klein Ewan
Published: February 2021

The power of data to support digital transformation within the context of e-Government is frequently underestimated. In this exploratory research, we develop a conceptual framework where the value of data stems from how it is used. We claim that the impact of digital transformation in the public sector presupposes an organisational culture that recognises and values data-in-use, by which is meant the practical application of data for a specific purpose, particularly by staff who deliver services. Through the lens of two ‘worldviews’ of data sharing, we present case studies of data use in two local authorities in Scotland. We claim that developing a culture where data is leveraged to derive insights for organisational activity requires combining working practices and technical infrastructure that centre on co-creating value with data. The presence of data intermediaries can support effective data-in-use to establish a healthy internal data ecosystem. Our research illustrates that local authorities within Scotland are still at an early stage of developing this culture.
A Multi-level Refinement Approach for Structural Synthesis of Optimal Probabilistic Models
Authors: Benouhiba Toufik
Published: February 2021

Probabilistic models play an important role in many fields such as distributed systems and simulations. Like non-probabilistic systems, they can be synthesized using classical refinement-based techniques, but they also require identifying the probability distributions to be used and their parameters. Since a fully automated and blind refinement is generally undecidable, many works tried to synthesize them by looking for the parameters of the distributions. Syntax-guided synthesizing approaches are more powerful, they try to synthesize models structurally by using context-free grammars. However, many problems arise like huge search space, the complexity of generated models, and the limitation of context-free grammars to define constraints over the structure. In this paper, we propose a multi-step refinement approach, based on meta-models, offering several abstraction levels to reduce the size of the search space. More specifically, each refinement step is divided into two stages in which the desired shape of models is first described by context-sensitive constraints. In the second stage, model templates are instantiated by using global optimization techniques. We use our approach to a synthesize a set of optimal probabilistic models and show that context-sensitive constraints coupled with the multi-level abilities of the approach make the synthesis task more effective.

Objective: Proper performance of Dachi in karate as a basic technique has a direct impact on the performance of other techniques. The aim of the present is to compare the maximum angular velocities of the hip, knee and ankle joints under different Zenkutsu-dachi movement patterns in karate athletes. Methods: Participants were 12 male karate athletes height= 175±5.5 cm; weight=75±5.5 kg, age=25±5.5 years, history=8±2.5 years). A three-dimensional motion analyzer with six synchronized infrared cameras at a video recording speed of 200 frames per second was used, and recordings were analyzed in Cortex 2.5.0 software. Zenkutsu-dachi forward movement was performed in six different patterns. The normality of the data distribution was confirmed by Shapiro-Wilk test. To test the study hypotheses, repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc test were used in SPSS V. 25 considering the significant level of P<0.05. Results: There was a significant difference between movement patterns 3 and 4 and between patterns 5 and 6 in the hip joint (P<0.05), while no significant difference in the knee and ankle joints was reported. Each of the Zenkutsu-dachi movement patterns could change the position and range of motion of the hip joint and iliopsoas muscles. Conclusion: By bringing the front leg more forward and bending the back leg slightly, the involved limbs and muscles can be in optimal state and creates greater angular velocity in the hip joint.

Background: Chrysobalanus orbicularis is commonly used as food, the seeds as a spice for the popular pepper soup, and the leaves are traditionally utilized for managing Type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria. Due to the limited scientific evidence on C. orbicularis, this study investigated its antioxidant and inhibitory properties against major enzymes linked to T2DM. Methods: The antioxidant activity was measured via methods for possible scavenging potentials. The α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities were examined using a standard model. Results: The C. orbicularis aqueous leaf extract compared well with the standard compounds, revealing the high antioxidant and inhibitory properties against α-amylase and α- glucosidase. Conclusion: The findings validate the conventional application of C. orbicularis in the treatment of patients with type II diabetes mellitus and other oxidative stress-related disorders.

Background: Methanol is a highly toxic alcohol and causes such severe side effects as CNS depression, blindness, acute renal failure and even death. Methods: Patients were three male referrals (aged 29-56 years) to the poisoning center at Taleghani Hospital, Urmia, Iran, in 2020. They had unknowingly ingested methanol. Their chief problems were bilateral blindness and metabolic acidosis. Upon taking medical history and physical examinations, they were assessed by an ophthalmologist, while testing the arterial blood gases and standard laboratory tests. They were given standard treatments and antidotes 3-4 days, which did not reverse the blindness. Subsequently, each patient was injected with five doses of subcutaneous erythropoietin every second day. The visual acuity progress was monitored daily until their discharge from the hospital. Results: Following 3-4 days of ineffective standard treatments, patients were injected with low doses of subcutaneous erythropoietin, which gradually reversed the visual acuity to normal level over the next 7 to 9 days. The patients were discharged from the hospital 10-12 days post admission, with normal visual acuity and without having any side effects. Conclusion: The subcutaneous erythropoietin effectively relieved the acute optic neuropathy and reversed the blindness to normal vision. This study is the first to investigate the therapeutic effects of subcutaneous erythropoietin in the treatment of optic neuropathy secondary to methanol intoxication.
Two Proteins From Snake Venom Have Potent Antibacterial Effects Against Bacillus Anthracis and Streptococcus Pneumoniae

Published: February 2021

Background: Antibacterial proteins are widely expressed in snake venoms. Previously, we have isolated two immunodominant proteins with molecular weights of 14 and 65 kD from the snake venom of Naja naja oxiana (N. oxiana). It was demonstrated that they had potent inhibitory effects against gram-positive bacteria, S. aureus and B. subtilis but were less effective against gram-negative bacteria, such as E. coli and P. aeruginosa. This study aimed at investigating the potential antibacterial effects of the two proteins against Bacillus anthracis and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Methods: The proteins were identified by SDS-PAGE and western blot analysis, and isolated by Gel Electrophoresis (Electro-elution). The antibacterial effects were tested against the strains of Bacillus anthracis and Streptococcus pneumoniae, using broth microdilution and disc-diffusion assays. For comparison, the antibacterial effects of standard antibiotics, such as Gentamicin, Ampicillin, Penicillin, Amoxicillin and Ciprofloxacin were also tested on the same B. anthracis and S. pneumoniae batches under identical laboratory conditions. Results: The two proteins showed high immunogenicity and strongly inhibited the growth of gram-positive bacteria, B. anthracis, and to a lesser extent S. pneumoniae. Conclusion: The isolated proteins demonstrated strong antibacterial effects against Gram-positive bacteria, B. anthracis and S. pneumoniae, in addition to their previously known effects against S. aureus and B. subtilis.
