The report describes the system developed by the HyBert team for the taxonomy enrichment task at Dialog Evaluation 2020 [12]. In this work we investigate the ability of large pre-trained language models to discover hyponym-hypernym relations. We probed state-of-the-art Transformers on the hypernymy task to evaluate implicit hierarchical knowledge captured during self-supervised training. To do so we use a simple distance-based classifier on the representations produced by the Transformer. Furthermore, we examine the performance of supervised approaches with a wide range of different training and embedding strategies. We show that while being a high capacity model, the Transformer is surprisingly hard to train to resolve hypernymy.
CORPUS-DRIVEN BAMBARA SPELLING DICTIONARY
Authors:   INALCO-LLACAN (CNRS, UMR-8135)-IUF, Vydrin V. F. ,   St. Petersburg State University, Méric J. J.
Published: November 2020

A model for the development of a corpus-driven spelling dictionary for the Bambara language is described. First, a list of about 4,000 lexemes characterized by spelling variability is extracted from an electronic BambaraFrench dictionary. At the next stage, a script is applied to determine the number of occurrences of each spelling variant in the Bambara Reference Corpus, separately for the entire Corpus (more than 11 million words) and for its disambiguated subcorpus (about 1.5 million words). Statistics on the diversity of sources and authors are also obtained automatically. The statistical data are then sorted manually into two lists of lexemes: those whose standard spelling can be established statistically, and those requiring evaluation by expert linguists. Some difficult cases are discussed in the paper. At the final stage, a representative expert commission will discuss all those lexemes for which statistical data alone do not suffice to define a standard spelling variant, before taking a final decision on each. The resulting Bambara spelling dictionary will be published electronically and on paper.
THE RUSSIAN KAK BY: SEMANTICS, PRAGMATICS, AND DIACHRONY
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the RAS, Zalizniak Anna A. ,   Institute of Informatics Problems of the FRC CSC RAS, Moscow, Russia
Published: November 2020

The article considers the semantics of the Russian word kak by. It demonstrates that there are three main types of use of this word that are relevant for the modern Russian language: 1) as an approximation indicator, i.e. the marker of an approximative, indirect or metaphorical use of the linguistic unit it introduces (cf. lёd na reke sluzhil kak by mostom ‘ice on the river served as a kind of bridge’; on kak by veduschij specialist v dannoj oblasti ‘he is sort of leading specialist in this field’); 2) as an indicator of epistemic indefiniteness (cf. infljatsii kak by net ‘there is  no inflation’); 3) as an illocutionary operator (“illocutionary mitigator”), mitigating the illocutionary force of the assertive speech act (cf. Ja kak by ispolnitel’nyj director kompanii ‘I am  the chief executive officer of the company’, uttered by the actual CEO of the company). We suggest that the initial meaning of kak by is that of a marker of descriptive indefiniteness (in an outdated use after the verbs of fuzzy perception), which has served as a source for both the approximation meaning, which is the main function of this word in contemporary Russian and that of epistemic indefiniteness. In its function as an “illocutionary mitigator” that emerged at the very end of the 20th century in the course of pragmaticalisation, the word kak by belongs to the class of discourse markers that ensure the success of a communicative act. The study was based on the Russian National Corpus (www.ruscorpora.ru), including its oral and parallel subcorpora.
ZERO FORMS IN MORPHOLOGICAL PARADIGMS: THE VERB “BE” IN RUSSIAN
Authors:   Pushkin state Russian language institute, Zimmerling A. V. ,   Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of science,   Moscow pedagogical state university, Moscow, Russia
Published: November 2020

This paper offers a corpus analysis of the Russian verb быть ‘be’ which has an abnormal present tense paradigm including a zero form ØBE.PRES and overt forms естьBE.PRES and сутьBE.PRES which do not discriminate person and number and are distributed syntactically. I discuss different approaches to the grammar of быть and argue that Apresjan’s model which recognizes ØBE.PRES, естьBE.PRES and сутьBE.PRES as parts of one and the same lemma is superior to alternative models splitting быть split into two lemmas representing copula vs content verb ‘be’. The peripheral status of overt present BE-forms compared with ØBE.PRES in the Russian National Corpus is confirmed by three measures: 1) dispersion of texts where a BE-form occurs; 2) uneven coverage in different persons and numbers; 3) ratio of copular uses vs content verb uses. 1–2 person present tense BE-forms attested in RNC are internal borrowings from Old Russian and Old Church Slavonic, while естьBE.PRES and сутьBE.PRES are inherited 3rd person elements which take over 1–2 person uses. The historical 3Pl суть is redundant in a system, where a more frequent 3rd person form есть is licensed in the plural: it survives by a minority of speakers either as an optional 3Pl copula in formal discourse or as an emphatic copula in oral discourse. The form естьBE.PRES occurs in all persons and numbers both as content verb and as copula but is underrepresented as 3Pl copula: this gap is filled by ØBE.PRES. The frequency of the zero copula ØBE.PRES can be measured in corpora without syntactic annotation on the basis of systemic proportion between present vs past tense uses of быть and on the basis of approximation samples for contexts where overt copulas alternate with ØBE.PRES.

The emotional behavior of a companion robot is important for human-robot interaction in the situation of training tasks. We examined the influence of emotional gestures and emotional speech of the robot on its perception by primary school students (N=52, male, female, mean age 9.8) in the situation of joint solution of the spatial Tangram puzzle. It was shown that emotional gestures make a significant contribution to the attractiveness of the robot for the child. It was also found that test subjects prefer the robot with emotional gestures and speech over the robot with neutral gesture and speech behavior. The study also analyzed the communicative behavior of children, identified typical communicative signs that are typical for interaction start with the robot, for monitoring the game and for difficult situations. We described typical mistakes that children make when assembling a puzzle together with the robot.

Authors: VELİYEVA Hacer
Published: November 2020

The literary and linguistic activity of Muhyi Gulshani, one of the ancient poets and linguists were analyzed. His work called "Menakib-i Ibrahim Gulshani" is one of the examples of ancient art giving some information about the development of literature science in the Middle Ages and compare it with the current state of science as a whole can give us a basis to determine the development of science in the ancient times and its modern level. Without knowing the past it is not easy to step up to future. The basic aim of this study is: 1) to carry out a textological analysis of the work, 2) to make a tour to the creative activity of Ibrahim Gulshani, 3) to study his life through "Menakib", 4) to introduce him to the people of the Azerbaijani where he was brought up, 5) to analyze his artistic examples in the literary-stylistic direction, derived from his poetic ability, 6) to promote the poet’s literary heritage, and figurative-emotional creative talent in the context of entire East. One of the most highly cultered and most intelligent people of his time Ibrahim Berdei was known in the literary history of Turkey under his makhlas of Gulshani. Great murshid or spiritual guide Gulshani`s teachings and doctrinal foundations of the Gulshaniyya, socio-political events circulated in Egypt were narrated in “Menakib”. This study investigated İbrahim Gulshani`s poetic style along with an observation of his taking advantage of his predecessors, his truthfulness to the traditions of devoting poems to his penpals, and citing the creative activities of prominent poets, to discover his true coordination with elements of folk literature. Based on scientific-paleographic description and graphic peculiarities of the manuscript, this study are also aimed at doing textological analysis of the critical text of the literary monument, its literary linguistic structure, and individual professional style, its literary creative method, its use of traditions and innovative tendencies.
The genesis documents of the novel Água Viva by Clarice Lispector and the printed tradition
Authors: BOENO Neiva De Souza
Published: November 2020

This work aims to present a transversal interpretative reading of the genesis documents of the work Água Viva (1973) by Clarice Lispector and the printed tradition, an excerpt from our doctoral thesis in Language Studies defended at the Federal University of Mato Grosso, in Cuiabá-MT. Our aim was to verify if there was a change in the textual body of the work, in the text transmission process, that could interfere in the writer’s style and/or in the sense of the work. Our analysis performed in two stages: a) we compare the typescript with the first published edition; b) we compared the first edition in relation to the printed tradition. In this analysis, were used the theoretical and methodological orientation of Textual Criticism (SPINA, 1977; BLECUA, 1983; CANDIDO, 2005; CAMBRAIA, 2005; SANTIAGO-ALMEIDA, 2015, 2016). From the results, we highlight two considerations: the first concerns the edition published in 1973, which carries Lispector’s “desire” for writing and has the authority to be the content-form of the writer’s genuine will, not only for what it makes visible (the verbal sign), but by writing it in the white space of the page, what we call “lispectorian layout”; the second concerns the gesture of writing outlined as metamorphosing, since we notice in the testimonies changes in the architecture of the homepage in verbal and non-verbal characters, which denotes interference both in the author’s style and in the sense of the work. Lispector is devoted to writing, to writing practice, in the form of a research paper; therefore, the changes identified must be taken into account in future publications, so that the work Água Viva can be read by new generations and being appreciated in its most genuine form.
Temporality in the Anthropocene: Revisiting Jeanette Winterson’s The Stone Gods
Authors: NOURİ Najmeh
Published: November 2020

Over the past two decades, since the term Anthropocene was coined by Paul Crutzen in 2000, the concept of the Anthropocene has attracted the attention of many contemporary authors. It is a phenomenon that is hard to totally grasp and only distinguishes itself through evidence such as climate change and other environmental disasters. The Anthropocene challenges the concept of temporality because as it is so enormous in range it resists representation within a specific time. In order to narrate the Anthropocene and its devastating impacts on human and nonhuman worlds through literary texts, the Anthropocene authors need to deploy new narrative techniques that make possible the image of such vast scale issues. In The Stone Gods, Winterson utilizes nonlinear structures of time to portray the story of a planetary catastrophe as a form of a continuum that influences different time periods from past to present and definitely the future. She skilfully reconstructs the concept of time to create alternative worlds that allow her to imagine ecological collapse in different times and locations. With its three interrelated sections, The Stone Gods narrates the story of the Anthropocene as a continuous thread of degradation which occur throughout history in parallel with the destructive activities of humanity on Earth.
A comparison of the adopted films Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Horror of Dracula to the novel Dracula
Authors: DİLER Uğur , BAYRAKTAR Burcu
Published: November 2020

One of the most appealing but also frightening mythical beings is vampires. The myth of vampires goes back to Babylon. First vampires are known as Babylon vampires, Ekimmus. Many ancient societies had vampire myths and in those myths, vampires were described as evil creatures which fed on the human soul or their blood. Moreover, the most well-known vampire is a fictional character, Count Dracula, in the book, Dracula, written by Bram Stoker in 1897. Bram Stoker was inspired by Vlad Dracula, the brutally cruel ruler of Walachia, Romania. The reason why Count Dracula is the best-known vampire is that the book, Dracula, is probably one of the most adapted works of literature. One of them is Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola and the other one is Horror of Dracula (1958) directed by Terence Fisher. Thus, the aim of this article is to discuss the similarities and differences between the adapted works of Coppola and Fisher and the source text, Bram Stoker’s epistolary novel, Dracula.

Nesîmî, XIV. Yüzyılda yaşamış Azeri sahasının önemli şairlerindendir. Kaynaklarda hayatıyla ilgili fazla bilgi olmayan şairin, İran’da Hurûfîlik mezhebinin kurucusu Fazlullah’ın halifelerinden olduğu ve inancı nedeniyle derisi yüzülerek öldürüldüğü bilinmektedir. Nesîmî’nin bilinen iki eseri olan Türkçe ve Farsça Divanlarının kütüphanelerde birçok yazma nüshası bulunmaktadır. Ahmet Paşa ise XV. yüzyıl, Anadolu sahasının önemli şairlerindendir. Hayattayken “sultânü’ş-şu’arâ” unvanını kazanan şair, Türk edebiyatında nazîrecilik geleneğinin önde gelen isimlerindendir. Kaside ustası olarak bilinen şairin elde bulunan tek eseri Divanı’dır. Ahmet Paşa’nın divanının da kütüphanelerde pek çok yazma nüshası bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Nesîmî ve Ahmet Paşa’nın, Süleymaniye Kütüphanesi, Yazma Bağışlar bölümünde yer alan 5879 numarada kayıtlı bir şiir mecmuası içerisinde yer alan ancak yayımlanmış divanlarında bulunmayan şiirleri tespit edilmiştir. Bu vesileyle öncelikle şiir mecmualarının edebiyat tarihimizdeki yeri ve önemi üzerinde durulmuştur. Farklı dönemlerde yaşamış pek çok şairin şiirlerine yer verilen bu mecmualar, gerek dönemin şiir zevki hakkında bilgi sunmaları, gerek müstakil bir divânı bulunmayan şairlerin şiirlerine yer vermeleri; gerekse de bu çalışmada olduğu gibi kimi şairlerin basılı divanlarında yer almayan şiirleri içermeleri açısından son derece önem arz etmektedirler. Çalışmaya konu olan mecmua içerisinde Nesîmî’nin 2 ve Ahmet Paşa’nın 3 adet yayımlanmamış şiiri tespit edilmiştir. Bu şiirler yeniden değerlendirilerek gerekli tashihler yapılmış ve bu çalışma ile tenkitli metin çalışmalarına katkı sağlamak amaçlanmıştır.

Authors: Bruce Daniel , Eshun V. Mawuli
Published: November 2020

The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of psychosocial problems among persons living with glaucoma and also find out whether socio-demographic characteristics of glaucoma patients significantly affect their levels of psychosocial distress. The cross-sectional survey design was chosen. One hundred (100) patients with glaucoma were selected from two Eye clinics in Accra as the sampled population. One-Way ANOVA, independent t-test and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. Results from the analysis showed that 99% of the patients reported mild to extremely severe depression. One percent (1%) of the sample reported normal depression levels. It was also observed from the analysis that 75% of the patients reported mild to extremely severe anxiety levels and, 25% reported normal anxiety levels. On stress levels, 45% of glaucoma patients reported mild to severe stress levels whilst 55% of reported normal stress levels. Further analysis showed that female glaucoma patients reported higher depression, anxiety and stress levels than male glaucoma patients, younger glaucoma patients reported higher depression, anxiety and stress levels than older glaucoma patients. However, no statistically significant differences exist among Glaucoma patients who are employed, unemployed and self-employed in their depression and anxiety levels but differed significantly on their stress levels. No statistically significant differences exist among Glaucoma patients who are single, married, widowed and divorced in their depression and anxiety levels but differed significantly on their stress levels. Additionally, there is a significant positive relationship between patients’ social distress and emotional distress (DASS). It is concluded that there is substantial level of psychosocial distress among patients with glaucoma. Patients’ age, sex and marital status significantly affecting their psychosocial distress and therefore, psychosocial care should be included in the healthcare of these patients.

Published: November 2020

Nitrogen nutrition considerably influences the process of growing and producing potato crops. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of nitrogen nutrition on the pattern of biomass and nitrogen partitioning during the growth of potato crop in Mérida, Mérida, Venezuela. Experimental land plots were set, with a randomized blocks design, and with three different fertilization treatment settings for the "Granola" cultivar. The first one without nitrogen (0-N), the next one with 133 Kg N Ha-1 (133-N), and the last one with 400 Kg N Ha-1 (400-N). In the main phenological stages of the crop, biomass and nitrogen levels were measured for each organ. The performance of the tubers and the total biomass are strongly influenced by the availability of nitrogen and assimilatory biomass. The total biomass production, as well as the biomass and nitrogen partitioning to each organ, showed the following sequence: 400-N > 133-N > 0-N. However, biomass and nitrogen partitioning to the roots and stolons was higher in the treatment with limited nitrogen levels. Proportional changes among aboveground and belowground biomass are adaptive responses to nitrogen deficit conditions, which, in their turn, are determining factors in crop production.

The aim of this study was two-fold: establish cross-cultural reliability and validity of the self-efficacy and concerns about STEM education instrument for elementary pre-service teachers in Turkey and to examine elementary and mathematics pre-service teachers’ mathematics identity, early teacher identity and STEM teaching intentions. Results of the study revealed that adapted Mathematics Identity Instrument is valid and reliable to use in Turkish culture. Adapted instrument has one sub-scale. It includes 9-items on a 5-point Likert type. The original and adapted instrument were not equivalent. Cronbach’s alpha for the instrument was calculated as .86 respectively. The findings of this study revealed elementary pre-service teachers had moderate and mathematics pre-service teachers had high level of mathematics identity. Both elementary and mathematics pre-service teachers hold a high level of early teacher identity. A significant difference was found between elementary and mathematics pre-service teachers’ mathematics and early teacher identity regarding their majors. The difference was in the favor of mathematics teachers. There was no significant difference between pre-service teachers’ early teacher identity regarding math identity variable. This research study revealed that both elementary and mathematics pre-service teachers had high level of STEM teaching intentions. A significant difference was found between elementary and mathematics pre-service teachers’ subjective norms in relation to STEM teaching intentions regarding their majors. The difference was in the favor of mathematics teachers.
Views of Fourth Year Primary School Prospective Teachers' Studying at Buca Education Faculty on Drama Techniques
Authors: HAMURCU Hülya
Published: November 2020

Primary school teachers, who carry out teaching services in the first four years of primary schools, graduate by receiving education in the Faculties of Education and can be appointed according to the KPSS exam results. Among the various courses they take during their in-service training are General culture courses and Professional knowledge courses. Before the implementation of the new Primary Teaching Undergraduate programs, Drama courses were one of the compulsory courses and were taught in the third grades 4 hours a week. In addition, there are different courses with the definitions of Drama in science education, Drama in Social studies, Creative drama, Educational drama, which have been opened within the scope of elective courses at different Universities. In Buca Education Faculty, there is an elective “Drama practices in education” course in 4th grade. In this study, which was carried out as a case study, it was examined which techniques and warm-up games the primary school teacher candidates thought to use the most while applying drama in primary schools. The research was carried out with volunteer students in one class in Dokuz Eylül University Buca Faculty of Education, Department of Basic Education, Primary Teacher Education Department, where the researcher studied elective drama courses in the spring semester of 2018-2019 academic year (N = 23). In April, students were asked to answer an open-ended question as a composition. When they were appointed to primary schools as a teacher, “Which warm-up games and drama techniques do they consider to prefer?" were asked. They were asked to make five choices. These responses were tabulated by subjecting them to content analysis. According to the findings obtained, pre-service teachers stated that they thought of using the Consciousness corridor (N = 17), Split screen (N = 12), Telephone calls (N = 9) and Gossip ring (N = 9) the most. Other findings and suggestions were included in the study.
Hidden Illiteracy in the Context of Lifelong Learning
Authors: GÜNEŞ Firdevs
Published: November 2020

Lifelong learning is one of the most important concepts of the 21st century. This concept includes all learning activities that the individual continues throughout his life. In this process, it focuses on the lifelong development of knowledge, skills and competencies that will help us survive in personal, social and economic life. For this, studies in three areas are emphasized. These are developing the individual by creating learning opportunities, realizing social integration and providing economic growth. As a result of these studies, it is tried to create learning societies and learning world. Literacy is the first link of lifelong learning. Lifelong learning is not possible without developing the basic language and mental skills of the individual. For this reason, literacy is prioritized in most countries and intensive studies are carried out. However, it is observed that these are not enough, and that illiteracy is spreading among adults. Covert illiteracy refers to basic skill deficiencies. The most important of these are language skills such as reading and writing, mental skills and skills necessary for daily life. Those who do not read or write in secret are people who cannot improve or forget these skills even though they have finished a school. There are 3 million in some industrialized countries and more than 5 million in our country. In order to prevent this situation, emphasis should be placed on developing basic skills of school-age students and adults.
Innovation and the Digital Transformation of Education
Authors: GİLLPATRİCK Tom
Published: November 2020

Digital transformation institutions expect fundamental disruptions in nature of both demand and supply of the economic delivery model for higher education. The key drivers of change for education are; the rapid introduction of new digital technologies, the development of new educational delivery systems, and economic models and the changing educational expectations from a new generation of learners, digital natives. Student expectations stemming from their interactions with Virtual Reality (VR)/ Augmented Reality (AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), gamification, personalization will drive their educational choices. Thus, faculty and institutions will need to “up their game” in the development of services and experiences that will meet student expectations. As a result, this will require new delivery methods and restructuring of educational systems and structures.
Rare earth ion contribution in barium hexaferrite structure to a change of magnetocrystalline anisotropy to improving its magnetic properties
Authors: Adnyana I Gusti Agung Putra
Published: November 2020

Rare earth ion contribution in barium hexaferrite structure to a change of magneto-crystalline anisotropy to improving its magnetic properties has been investigated. A series of simples of Ba1-xCexFe12O19 with the variation of x (x = 0.0-0.5) were prepared by solid-state reactions using mechanical deformation techniques. The oxide materials used for sample preparation are BaCO3, Fe2O3, and CeO2 with the ratio of material used is adjusted to the stoichiometric calculation for variations of Ce4+ substitution. The phase identification results show that the reaction took place perfectly and successfully formed a single-phase Ba1-xCexFe12O19 namely at the composition x = 0 and x = 0.1. while for the composition x> 0.1, it is formed in three phases. Particle morphology in the composition x = 0 and x = 0.1 has very good and uniform particle homogeneity across the surface of the sample in the form of polygonal particles. So the substitution of Ce atoms into the barium hexaferrite structure is only able at the composition limit x = 0.1. In the composition x = 0.1 has been able to increase the coercivity and magnetization fields. It can be concluded that the permanent magnet with the composition Ba0,9Ce0.1F12O19 gives the best results.

Educação: arte como arte do rompimento ou da desconstrução
Authors: Demo Pedro , Minayo Maria Cecília de Souza , Silva Renan Antônio da
Published: November 2020

Educação formal é, mormente, a escolar, feita numa instituição ad hoc, em parte compulsória (constitucional), com legislação própria, em geral rígida, com tonalidades domesticadoras flagrantes e oferecida por profissionais exclusivos. Esta visão analítica pode pender para uma crítica ácida, mas, antes de mais nada, faz uma constatação natural no mundo da vida: as instituições são ambíguas por natureza, tal qual a própria vida e suas espécies. Família, uma das instituições biológicas mais fundamentais e fundantes da sociedade também é ambígua: muitas são o lugar ideal para alguém se criar; nem todas, porém, e sem culpa quiçá, por conta de condições insuficientes de sobrevivência. Algumas famílias degringolam, se desfazem, tornando-se sua destituição preferível a manter um inferno de convivência impossível. Assim parece ser: a “normalidade” da vida é ambígua, seja porque a politicidade sempre ressurge como componente crucial, mesmo no pano de fundo, ou porque as validades sociais e históricas são relativas, ainda que não relativistas, ou porque humanos são criaturas maleáveis o suficiente para mudar de posição, de condição, de crença etc. Daí segue que educar rigidamente é contraproducente, porque a rigidez da vida é inventada. A vida biológica é plástica.
Mitochondrial Haplotypes suggest Genetic Component for Habitat Preference in Blue Crabs
Authors: Moran Megan N. , Schulz Thomas F. , Rittschof Daniel
Published: November 2020

Atlantic blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) are ecologically and commercially fundamental. Life stages are punctuated with migration. Adults and juveniles live in estuaries and sounds. Larval stages develop in the coastal ocean. Juvenile and adult crabs occupy habitats from high salinities to fresh water. We determined whether maturing juvenile and adult blue crab habitat use is reflected in mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 haplotypes. High salinity crabs had lower haplotype diversity (0.7260 ± .03900) compared to spawning crabs (0.9841 ± .00021) and low salinity crabs (0.94154 ± .00118). Significant pairwise differences in haplotypes were found between high salinity and spawning crabs (Nm = 0.26018, p < 0.001), and between high salinity and low salinity crabs (Nm = 0.19482, p < 0.001) indicating a lack of gene flow. Crabs from high salinity had highly significant genetic differentiation compared to spawning crabs (Fst = 0.11830, p < 0.001) and low salinity crabs (Fst = 0.09689, p < 0.001). Results support the hypothesis that genetics influence habitat selection. Crab larvae mix in the coastal ocean but occupy specific habitats upon return to sounds and estuaries. These findings have implications for the management of fisheries.

Nowadays, health is not only valued for the individual, but many jobs have recognized that a healthy workforce contributes to a company’s productivity and reduces health care costs, meaning that the value of human resources is an important pillar of the competitiveness of businesses and organizations (Nyitrainé Garaj, 2015; Péter, 2018; Bácsné et al., 2017). The main focus of our research was to examine the effect of incentives used in workplace health promotion on the well-being of the employees and on promoting healthy lifestyle. The data for our primary research was collected via questionnaire. The survey has been designed to provide information about the lifestyle of the average Hungarian employees, the fringe benefits as the incentives of physical activity and their utilization. Beyond this we were interested in finding out if there should be an initiation on the employers’ side regarding physical activity would there be an inclination within the employees for its usage. The result of the survey (N=133) shows that since white collar workers spend the majority of their days with little to no physical activity while working, sough out more sporting activities outside work. The data also suggest a health conscious behaviour among the respondents with high scoring driving factors for physical activity such as the importance of health, stress relief etc. Furthermore, results showed that after receiving these incentives employees engaged more frequently in sporting activities and that there is a willingness for use among those not receiving it.
Applying Simplifying Heuristics when Making Judgment under Uncertainty – A Field Study
Authors:   Fresenius University, Germany, Nguyen Tristan
Published: November 2020

This paper studies the so-called Take the Best (TTB) and the other two related heuristics which are Take the last (TTL) and the Minimalist heuristics to collect more evidence on these heuristics and then make comparison on performance of these heuristics’ potential users who have different degree of knowledge. People actually adhere to the recognition heuristics (RH) so often when facing inferential choice between a recognized object and a novel one. It is a main purpose of our empirical field study to look for evidence on what decision makers really do to arrive at their final choice in cases where both objects in the choice task are recognized. Will they still stick to recognition cue, or will they follow TTB or TTL or the Minimalist heuristic or will they resort to other type of strategies? Our results are somehow ambiguous. In sum, the cues the participants really picked up from their minds when taking the task and revealed by themselves in the interviews are more diverse and complicated than the anticipated ones.

The Governance of the Surabaya’s West Shipping Channel
Authors:   Indonesia Defense University, Indonesia, Anwar Syaiful
Published: November 2020

The governance regarding shipping safety in the Surabaya's West Shipping Channel is very important because it affects the smoothness of movement of ships, which carry goods and passengers to the ports in Surabaya City. Due to the frequent occurrence of ship accidents in the channel, there is a possibility that these were caused by several factors related to the governance in the shipping channel. The required data was obtained from relevant informants, while other supporting information was obtained by direct observation in the field. Then the data was analyzed using descriptive qualitative method. From this analysis, it was found several findings concerning the factors causing the accident of ships in the shipping channel, namely: the technical condition of the ships, the level of professionalism of the ship's crews, natural factors, the condition of navigation aids, and installation of infrastructures in the sea. The next findings were about things that have not been achieved by the government, such as law enforcement regarding the ships’ maintenance, education and training for the ship's crew especially in handling ships’ accidents at sea, law enforcement regarding the installation of undersea infrastructures, and the installation of proper navigation aids along the shipping channel.

This study aims to determine the effect of interest rates, inflation and market risk on the performance of stock mutual funds with a stock index of lq45 as the moderating variable. The independent variable in this case is the interest rate (x1), inflation (x2), market risk (x3) and the dependent variable is the performance of stock mutual funds (y) and the stock index lq45 as the intervening variable (m). The type of research used is associative research, with a quantitative approach. This study takes all time series data that converts interest rates, inflation and market risk, stock index lq45 and the performance of stock mutual fund for the period 2016 to 2019. The number of research samples using saturated sampling techniques obtained is 40 samples. Data analysis used multiple regression analysis and moderated regression analysis using spss23. The results of the F test show that the lq45 index is able to moderate the independent variable interest rate, inflation, market risk together on the performance of stock mutual funds. The t test results show that the stock index lq45 is able to moderate the relationship between the variable interest rate and market risk on the performance of stock mutual funds, while the inflation variable cannot be moderated by the stock index lq45 on the performance of stock mutual funds.

Authors: Aime M.C. , McTaggart A.R.
Published: November 2020

The rust fungi (Pucciniales) with 7000+ species comprise one of the largest orders of Fungi, and one for which taxonomy at all ranks remains problematic. Here we provide a taxonomic framework, based on 16 years of sampling that includes ca. 80 % of accepted genera
including type species wherever possible, and three DNA loci used to resolve the deeper nodes of the rust fungus tree of life. Pucciniales are comprised of seven suborders – Araucariomycetineae subord. nov., Melampsorineae, Mikronegeriineae, Raveneliineae subord.
nov., Rogerpetersoniineae subord. nov., Skierkineae subord. nov., and Uredinineae – and 18 families – Araucariomycetaceae fam. nov., Coleosporiaceae, Crossopsoraceae fam. nov., Gymnosporangiaceae, Melampsoraceae , Milesinaceae fam. nov.,
Ochropsoraceae fam. & stat. nov., Phakopsoraceae, Phragmidiaceae, Pileolariaceae, Pucciniaceae, Pucciniastraceae, Raveneliaceae, Rogerpetersoniaceae fam. nov., Skierkaceae fam. & stat. nov., Sphaerophragmiaceae,
Tranzscheliaceae fam. & stat. nov., and Zaghouaniaceae. The new genera Araucariomyces (for Aecidium fragiforme and Ae. balansae), Neoolivea (for Olivea tectonae), Rogerpetersonia (for Caeoma torreyae), and Rossmanomyces
(for Chrysomyxa monesis, Ch. pryrolae, and Ch. ramischiae) are proposed. Twenty-one new combinations and one new name are introduced for: Angiopsora apoda, Angiopsora chusqueae, Angiopsora paspalicola, Araucariomyces balansae, Araucariomyces fragiformis,
Cephalotelium evansii, Cephalotelium neocaledoniense, Cephalotelium xanthophloeae, Ceropsora weirii, Gymnotelium speciosum, Lipocystis acaciae-pennatulae, Neoolivea tectonae, Neophysopella kraunhiae, Phakopsora pipturi, Rogerpetersonia torreyae, Rossmanomyces monesis, Rossmanomyces
pryrolae, Rossmanomyces ramischiae, Thekopsora americana, Thekopsora potentillae, Thekopsora pseudoagrimoniae, and Zaghouania notelaeae. Higher ranks are newly defined with consideration of morphology, host range and life cycle. Finally, we discuss the evolutionary and diversification
trends within Pucciniales.
