Authors: Butkovskaya L. K. , Krylova O. K. , Mudrova V. E.
Published: November 2023

The purpose of the current work was to estimate the effect of sowing dates on a length of a vegetation period and the sowing qualities of spring wheat varieties of different maturity groups. The trials were carried out from 2018 to 2020. There have been studied such six varieties as middle-early varieties ‘Altaiskaya 70’, ‘Novosibirskaya 29’, ‘Tulunskaya 12’, Krasnoyarskaya 12, the middle-maturing variety ‘Kuraginskaya 2’, the middle-late variety ‘Svirel’. There have been studied such two sowing dates as optimal in May 15, and late in May 22. The sowing trials were carried out with a seeder SSFC – 7. Harvesting was carried out with the combine ‘Hege’. The grain was dried, cleaned on ‘Petkus’, and weighed. The germination was estimated according to GOST 12036-66. Grain crops were sown in weedfree fallow. The counting area of the plots was 10 m2, with three repetitions. When sown in late dates, the ‘sprouting-ear formation’ period reduced on 4 days for the middle-late wheat variety ‘Svirel’, on 2 days for the middle-maturing varieties ‘Kur aginskaya 2’ and ‘Krasnoyarskaya 12’, for the middle-early varieties ‘Altayskaya 70’, ‘Tulunskaya 12’, ‘Novosibirskaya 29’ this period did not change. The length of the period ‘ear formation-maturity’ period for middle-early wheat varieties was 34–36 days, for middle-maturing varieties it lasted 36 days, and for the middle-late variety ‘Svirel’ it was 40 days. The varieties ‘Tulunskaya 12’, ‘Novosibirskaya 29’ and ‘Altaiskaya 70’ increased their productivity on 0.2–0.6 t/ha at a late sowing date, the middle-maturing varieties ‘Kuraginskaya 2’, ‘Krasnoyarskaya 12’ and the middle-late variety ‘Svirel’ increased their productivity on 0.3–0.5 t/ha at an early sowing date. There should be noted that 1000-grain weight changed similarly to the productivity of varieties. This indicator of the middle-early varieties increased in the late sowing date, and that of middle- and late-maturing varieties in the early sowing date. The recommended period for sowing spring wheat in the conditions of the Krasnoyarsk Territory for middle-early varieties for seeds is the beginning of the third ten days of May with a sum of active temperatures of 190 °C; for middle- and late-maturing varieties it is the middle of the second ten days of May at a sum of active temperatures of 150 °C.
Breeding of the facultative barley varieties at the FSBSI ARC «Donskoy»
Authors: Dontsova A. A. , Dontsov D. P. , Filippov E. G.
Published: November 2023

The current paper is devoted to the study of promising barley lines with an alternative type of development (facultative). Famous breeders P. F. Garkavy and V. M. Shevtsov believed that the future belonged to the facultative barley varieties, since they had high adaptive properties. Facultative varieties have several advantages, such as they can be used for early spring reseeding of sparse autumn crops of winter barley with seeds of the same variety and dead crops of winter cereals, as well as for obtaining high-quality seeds from spring sowing for autumn sowing. In connection with the above, the cultivation of facultative varieties for production is of great relevance and necessity. The purpose of the current study was to estimate new breeding material for facultative barley varieties in the conditions of the south of the Rostov region. The study was carried out in 2021–2023 in the fields of scientific crop rotation of the department of barley breeding and seed production of the ARC «Donskoy». In the first competitive variety testing there have been studied 12 promising facultative barley lines and the two currently best facultative barley varieties ‘Step’ and ‘Marusya’. There has been carried out comprehensive estimation of the studied samples based on such traits as the length of a vegetation period, resistance to lodging and damage by leaf diseases, 1000-grain weight, number of grains per an ear, number of productive stems per square meter, productivity. According to lodging resistance on average over three years, there were identified the varieties ‘Marusya’ and ‘Step’, as well as the lines Parallelum 2019, 2139, 2110, 2128, 2152, 2153 and Pallidum 2100; according to grain size the best varieties and lines were ‘Step’, ‘Marusya’, Parallelum 2141, 2110, 2128, 2149, 2152 and Pallidum 2100. The variety ‘Marusya’ and the lines Parallelum 2139, 2128, 2136, 2110, 2149, 2152, 2153 have shown the greatest productivity increase of 1 t/ha to the standard. Based on the data obtained, all studied varieties received a score based on a complex of economically valuable traits. The variety ‘Parallelum 2128’, which received the maximum number of points, was selected, and prepared for sending to the State Variety Commission of the Russian Federation for study.
Portrait des pratiques d’enseignants utilisant la littérature de jeunesse bi-/plurilingue dans les écoles élémentaires de langue française en Ontario
Authors: Trottin Mélissande , Thibeault Joël
Published: November 2023

A growing number of studies are interested in the various advantages connected to the use of bi-/multilingual children’s literature in class. However, there is still little research that concretely describes how teachers set up practices with the help of this medium. This article presents the results of a multi-case study whose objective is to describe the practices stated by teachers in the Franco-Ontarian context who use bi-/multilingual children’s literature. By means of a questionnaire on the use of this literature and a series of semi-directed interviews, we had access to various practices of three teachers working in elementary schools. More specifically, they described to us, via the bi-/multilingual books that they chose, their ways of implementing three key stages in reading: pre-reading, reading, and post-reading. The results of this research show, in particular, that teachers rely on practices already experienced during the reading of monolingual literature, but that they also create new ones to highlight the bi-/multilingual nature of the works they use.
A Settler Colonial Memorial Book: The Agricultural School and Museum of Sidi-Bel-Abbès, Algeria
Authors: Slyomovics Susan
Published: November 2023

In French colonial Algeria (1830–1962), a European settler community was made from both displacement and the encounter with Indigenous Algerian collectives. After Algeria's independence from France in 1962, this community was remade by a second displacement and the encounter in France with the metropolitan community. Known as Pieds-Noirs, this community has organized associative life, books, and newsletter publications, and sometimes return visits to Algeria. This article looks at Pieds-Noir settler associations devoted to Algeria's colonial agricultural schools, model farms, and nurseries, and how they reconstitute metropole-colony and colony-metropole through memory and a memorial book. This case study of the agricultural school in the town of Sidi-Bel-Abbès, former headquarters of the French Foreign Legion, discusses post-independent Algerian responses to return visits, claims, and writings by settlers.
The Moroccan “Yizkor Book”: Holocaust Memory, Intra-Jewish Marginalization, and Communal Empowerment in Israel
Authors: Moreno Aviad , Bitton Haim
Published: November 2023

The writing of “Yizkor books” (Yizker bikher, יזכור ביכער)—memorial books for European Jewish communities that were destroyed in the Holocaust—has developed and expanded as the remnants of these lost communities scattered around the globe in the post-war era. The motives for writing comparable books among non-European Jewish communities—which experienced different circumstances of dispersal but were still influenced by Holocaust memory—and the way these books nourished the intentional creation of immigrant communities, are understudied. This article focuses on the related genre of what we define as community-oriented autobiographical memoirs penned by Moroccan Jews who migrated to Israel in the 1950s. Within these books, we trace patterns of narration and memory construction utilized by Moroccan leaders in an effort to cope with the stereotyping and exclusion of their communities from mainstream culture by the Ashkenazi-European elite in Israel. We explore how these narratives by Moroccan immigrants were, on the one hand, inspired by commonplace Israeli Holocaust memories depicting the traumatic annihilation of Jewish life in Morocco, and, on the other hand, accounts of Moroccan marginality in Israel.

DEPRECIATION POLICY AS A PARADIGM OF INVESTMENT SECURITY OF THE OF UKRAINIAN
Authors: Trusova N.V. ,   Dmytro Motornyi Tavria State Agrotechnological University, Sakun A.G. ,   Kherson State Agrarian and Economic University
Published: November 2023

Abstract. The article examines the depreciation policy as a paradigm of investment security of Ukrainian enterprises. It has been proven that the depreciation policy as a component of the state's investment policy is a specific lever aimed at the economic activity of separately functioning business entities. Its main goal is to create conditions for reproduction and renewal of fixed assets, activation of investment processes to accelerate innovation. A paradigm of investment security based on depreciation policy is proposed, which allows to systematize rational methods of distribution of the cost of fixed assets (minus the liquidation value) during the entire period of operation, taking into account the information-analytical and innovation-investment component. It is proved that the depreciation policy, as a component of the investment policy of enterprises in an institutional environment, forms a multiplier "domino" effect due to an increase in the value derivative of assets, which ensure a great accumulation of the depreciation fund. The method of assessing the investment security of enterprises on the basis of ensuring the depreciation policy has been determined. A graphic model of the digressive method of calculating depreciation deductions is given. The rates of growth of the cost of fixed assets and the degree of their wear and tear in Ukraine are analyzed. The growth index of capital investments in the fixed capital of Ukrainian enterprises by sources of financing in Ukraine was determined. The functional dependencies of costs for the improvement (reconstruction, modernization) of fixed assets on the amount of accrued depreciation of the enterprises of the Steppe zone of Ukraine were determined. The estimated amount and intervals of depreciation of fixed assets at enterprises are calculated. A forecast of the increase in depreciation rates on average for one enterprise is presented, provided that the enterprise's profit is directed to ensure investment security.
THE ROLE OF BUDGET EXPENDITURES IN FINANCING TODAY'S SOCIO-ECONOMIC NEEDS
Authors: Babko Natalia ,   Bohdan Khmelnytsky Melitopol State Pedagogical University, Sievidova I.O. ,   Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs
Published: November 2023

Task statement. At the current stage of development of financial relations, it is important to improve the mechanism of managing budget expenditures in order to improve the quality of public services, efficient use of resources and enhance the impact of budget policy on socio-economic progress. Optimal management of budget expenditures requires solving several key tasks, including cost optimization, program prioritization, transparency, support for innovation, sustainability of financial resources, etc. Thus, scientific research in this area is an important source for the successful implementation of budget policy and achievement of positive results in the country's socio-economic progress. Research results. An analysis of Ukraine's budget in recent years has shown that a significant increase in defense spending (from 8.56% to 42.24%) indicates increased attention to strengthening the country's national security and defense capabilities, which is related to Russia's full-scale invasion. There is an increase in spending on social protection and social security (from 22.77% to 15.75%). This is due to support for citizens affected by the war. Changes in other categories of expenditures are less noticeable. For example, environmental protection and housing and communal services remained at a low level, while others, such as economic activity and education, have moderate growth. Overall growth of expenditures. The total central fiscal expenditures increased from UAH 1,490,258.9 million to UAH 2,705,423.3 million. This indicates a general increase in the state's financial expenditures, which is due to the growing need for financing as a result of economic, social and geopolitical challenges. Budget deficit. The planned budget balance (deficit) in 2022 amounted to UAH -1,296,536.2 million, which indicates a lack of budget funds to cover all planned expenditures. This indicates the need to find additional sources of funding and optimize expenditures. Conclusions. Based on the analysis of changes in the structure of expenditures of the state budget of Ukraine, the following recommendations can be offered to optimize the financing of socio-economic development needs: balance between defense and social security, optimization of expenditures, diversification of funding sources, creation of reserves, efficient use, priority of social development, etc.
Bilateral infraoptic origin of the anterior cerebral artery: illustrative case
Authors: Majmundar Neil , Quillin Joseph , Liu James K , Agarwalla Pankaj K
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

A bilateral infraoptic origin of the anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs) is a rare anatomical variant that can be encountered during anterior skull base surgery. The ACAs arise from the internal carotid artery (ICA) at the level of the ophthalmic artery and course medially, traveling inferior to the ipsilateral optic nerves. Herein, the authors discuss the different configurations of the anatomical variant, its prevalence, and hypotheses leading to the variable configuration of this anomaly.

OBSERVATIONS

A 67-year-old woman presented with worsening dizziness over a week-long period and was found to have a large left sphenocavernous meningioma with optic, cavernous, and suprasellar extension. The tumor incorporated the left supraclinoid ICA and its branches. She underwent a left modified orbitozygomatic craniotomy for tumor resection. Early identification of the aberrant ACA anatomy was crucial in avoiding vascular injury.

LESSONS

While this variant is typically encountered during the treatment of vascular pathologies—namely, intracranial aneurysms—its existence should be kept in mind during the treatment of any anterior skull base pathology. Failure to account for the presence of this variant may lead to potential intraoperative complications.
Mathematical Model of Anal Canal for Anal Fistula Surgery
Authors: Gao Xiaobin Wilson , Zhou Yufeng , Tsang Charles B , Seah Aileen
Published: November 2023

Abstract: Purpose: Surgery is necessary for the treatment of an anal fistula. However, excision of some sphincter muscle would compromise sphincter integrity or function, which is the cause of a reduced success rate in the long term. In order to develop an appropriate surgical plan, a mathematical model that describes the relationship between the internal pressure of the anal canal and the structure of anal sphincters is required. Methods: The anatomical structure of the anal canal and the corresponding sphincter pressure can be measured by endoanal ultrasound (EAUS) imaging and manometry, respectively. Length-tension relationships for skeletal and smooth muscles, two major components of the external and internal anal sphincter, respectively, were reviewed first. Results: Based on the information about the internal and external sphincters, two mathematical models, the thick-wall cylinder model and the two-layer model, have been created, from which the influence of complete or partial excision of the sphincter muscle can be estimated. Conclusions: The proposed thick-wall cylinder and two-layer models could describe the relationship between the internal anal canal pressure and the structure of anal sphincters, from which the influence of complete or partial excision of the sphincter muscle may be estimated.

Published: November 2023

Abstrak: Kemasan tabung biasanya digunakan untuk bearing kecil karena kemudahan pemakaian di proses perakitan. Biasanya tabung terbuat dari plastik High-Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) yang banyak digunakan dalam berbagai aplikasi. Tabung terkadang jatuh secara tidak sengaja dan menyebabkan kerusakan pada pelindung grease pada bearing yang ada di dalam dalam tabung. Kerusakan ini sering memengaruhi kinerja bearing karena pelindung grease yang cacat akan bersentuhan dengan bola. Agar dapat mengambil tindakan pencegahan untuk mencegah kerusakan, mekanisme terjadinya kerusakan selama peristiwa tabung jatuh perlu dipahami dengan baik. Dalam tulisan ini, mekanisme kerusakan pelindung bearing akibat peristiwa tabung jatuh dianalisis secara numerik dengan Metode Elemen Hingga. Aspek non-linearitas, seperti deformasi besar dan efek laju regangan tinggi, ditangani dengan pendekatan integrasi waktu eksplisit. Setelah memahami mekanisme kerusakan, tiga sifat karakteristik material yang berbeda disimulasikan untuk menemukan pilihan yang lebih baik dari material saat ini. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa tabung berubah bentuk secara signifikan selama benturan dan memberikan ruang yang cukup bagi bearing untuk saling bertabrakan. Pola kerusakan pada pelindung grease yang dihasilkan oleh simulasi sangat cocok dengan kerusakan yang sebenarnya. Pemilihan material tabung yang tepat dapat mencegah atau mengurangi benturan pada permukaan pelindung grease. Model simulasi dalam tulisan ini dapat digunakan untuk mengembangkan desain tabung untuk mencegah kerusakan parah pada bearing saat tabung terjatuh secara tidak sengaja

Der Übergang ins Studium ist für viele eine der wichtigsten Veränderungen im Lebensweg. Welche Erfahrungen machen Studierende? Wie gehen sie mit diesen Erfahrungen um? Die Studie wertet biographisch-narrative Interviews aus und bietet einen subjektorientierten reflexiven Blick auf das Studium als Übergang. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Themen, die im Studium für die Menschen relevant werden, ähnlich sind, sie diese jedoch in unterschiedlichen Modi des Doing-Transition gestalten.

Comment on "On the linearity of the generalized Lorentz transformation"
Authors: Lambare Justo
Published: November 2023

In an article in this journal (Am. J. Phys. 90, 425429 (2022)), Frank Verheest presents a proof for the linearity of the Lorentz transformation. We fill in some gaps in his derivation and analyze the role of the light postulate that some physicists, including Verheest, have criticized as a necessary hypothesis for formulating the theory of relativity.

The presence of Cr ions in wastewater must be treated before being released into the environment due to its detrimental impact on both the environment and human health. In this study, the removal of Cr (VI) ions from an aqueous solution was investigated by adsorption using an adsorbent derived from agriculture wastes, banana pseudo stem. The adsorbent was prepared by oven-drying the banana stem waste at 105C for 24 h. The surface structure of the adsorbent was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to determine the removal efficiency of Cr (VI) ions based on four adsorption operation parameters: pH of the solution, adsorbent dosage, contact time and initial concentration of ion solution. At room temperature, the highest Cr (VI) ions removal of 88.2% was achieved using 0.5 g banana pseudo stem adsorbent, with an initial concentration of chromium solution of 500 ppm at pH 2 and after 90 min of contact time. For the equilibrium study, the experimental data were better fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 33.33 mg/g. Meanwhile, the kinetic isotherm was best fitted by the pseudo-second-order model. Therefore, the banana pseudo stem showed great potential as an efficient, low-cost and natural green adsorbent for Cr (VI) ions removal from an aqueous solution via adsorption.

Examining the need for social approval is critical to understand the effects of the social environment on individuals’ beliefs about themselves and perceptions of their abilities. This study aims to provide deep insight into the role and the effect of the need for social approval on the relationship between self-efficacy and perfectionism. Likewise, it aims to examine the role and the effect of the need for social approval on the relationship between self-efficacy and academic self-handicapping. In this study, academic self-handicapping, perfectionism, and the need for social approval, which are individually linked to self-efficacy, are examined in a single comprehensive framework. Participants were 121 university students studying at different universities who completed an online survey involving measures of academic self-handicapping, perfectionism, general self-efficacy, and reactions to social situations. They were manipulated by either receiving positive or negative feedback related to the need for social approval or receiving no feedback. The obtained data were tested with Pearson correlation analysis, one-way ANOVA, and moderation analysis. The findings showed that there was no significant difference between the self-efficacy scores of the groups. Self-efficacy was found to be significantly and negatively correlated with academic self-handicapping and perfectionism. The moderation analysis revealed that the relationship between academic self-handicapping and self-efficacy was only significant when participants received positive feedback or did not receive any feedback related to social approval. Contrary to expectations, the need for social approval was not found to have a moderating role in the relationship between perfectionism and self-efficacy. The current study contributes to the literature in terms of investigating the need for social approval in an experimental setting and showing that it plays a moderator role in the relationship between academic self-handicapping and self-efficacy.
Sanat Üreticilerinin Yetişmesinde Toplumsal Etkiler
Authors: ULUSOY Tolga
Published: November 2023

Bu makale hazırlanmakta olan doktora tezi kapsamında yapılmış olan araştırmanın verilerine dayanmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında kültürel ve yaratıcı endüstrilerde sanat üretimi yapan 22 kişiyle görüşülmüştür. Görüşmelerden elden edilen metinler temellendirilmiş teori araştırma stratejisi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında görüşmecilerin ilk etapta sanat üretimine başlama süreçleri sorulmuştur. Bu bağlamda sanat üreticilerini en fazla etkileyen faktörlerin aileleri ve öğretmenleri oldukları görülmüştür. Bu iki faktör dışında; içinde büyüdükleri sosyal çevre, sanatçılar, çeşitli popüler kültür ürünleri gibi unsurların da sanat üreticilerinin sanat üretimine başlamalarında etkili oldukları görülmüştür. Sanat üreticileri, üretimlerine başlama motivasyonlarını iki şekilde ortaya koymuşlardır: içsel dürtü ve aile etkisi. Ailelerin tutumlarına bakıldığında ise beş unsur saptanmıştır: desteklenmeme, ailelerin bazı üyeleri tarafından desteklenme, umursanmama, koşullu veya süreç içerisinde desteklenme ve koşulsuz destek. Lise öncesi eğitime bakıldığında ise çoğunlukla desteklenme ve desteklenmeme olarak iki faktör görülmüştür.
