Published: August 2023

Nas últimas décadas observou-se diversos proprietários rurais buscando diversificar suas atividades, estes encontraram no turismo rural uma oportunidade de conciliar as economias de suas propriedades com as demais atividades do cotidiano como forma de agregar suas fontes de renda, geralmente oriundas da agricultura familiar. Os estudos atuais afirmam também que são necessárias diversas estratégias alternativas para melhorar as condições do setor rural, mais precisamente as empresas de estrutura familiar – incluindo a questão da sucessão. A presente pesquisa foi realizada no Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul em empresas familiares que possuem o turismo rural como parte de suas atividades. Metodologicamente constituiu-se de uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa atrelada a uma revisão teórica, a coleta de dados deu-se por meio de um roteiro de entrevistas semiestruturado. Os resultados evidenciaram que o turismo rural oriundo de empresa familiar é sem dúvidas uma atividade rentável a ser desenvolvida, apesar de desafiadora, e os responsáveis por essa iniciativa devem estar preparados para gerir os negócios sem deixar que afetem a vida familiar. Viu-se também a relevância das empresas familiares com atividades turísticas no espaço rural no contexto social e econômico, reforçando a necessidade de organizar aspectos de gestão e de sucessão.

A forma como se deu a ocupação e o processo de industrialização fez do Brasil um país marcado por profundas desigualdades econômicas e sociais regionais. São várias as maneiras pelas quais se manifestam essas disparidades, dentre elas, destacam-se o restrito acesso às IES e sua localização concentrada nas regiões mais desenvolvidas, relegando para segundo plano as regiões não metropolitanas e atrasadas, fazendo com que o acesso à educação superior se tornasse privilégio de poucos. Entre 2003 e 2014, ocorreu uma mudança na forma de atuação do Estado, ampliando o horizonte de cobertura social para camadas que sempre ficaram à margem das ações do poder público. Essas medidas foram executadas pelos governos Lula e Dilma, mediante um conjunto de políticas para expansão e interiorização do ensino superior. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é discutir sobre as principais políticas de expansão e interiorização do ensino público superior implantadas no Brasil, no referido período, averiguar como as mesmas alteraram o panorama concentrador regional e como esse processo pode potencializar o desenvolvimento local, à luz do pensamento de Joseph Schumpeter e Celso Furtado. Para o alcance de tal objetivo fez-se um estudo de caráter descritivo, bibliográfico e documental, com abordagem quali-quantitativa.

A pesquisa teve como propósito verificar o nível competitivo das unidades federativas (UFs) brasileiras nas exportações de chocolate e derivados do cacau, por intermédio da metodologia baseada na matriz de desempenho de Farias e Farias (2018), que se apoia na classificação do índice de vantagem comparativa revelada (IVCR) e do índice de posição relativa (IPR), além de um modelo de regressão simples com tendência linear. Os dados foram coletados na base no ComexStat do Ministério da Indústria, Comércio Exterior e Serviços (MDIC, 2021), para análise de vinte e duas UFs, a qual compreende o período de 1999 a 2020. Os resultados indicam que as vinte e duas unidades da federação investigadas se enquadram apenas em duas das quatro classificações da matriz de desempenho, de modo que os estados de Paraná, Sergipe, São Paulo, Minas Gerais e Espírito Santo foram classificados como “eficientes” nas exportações de chocolate e derivados do cacau, enquanto os dezessete restantes obtiveram o status de “ineficientes” nas exportações desses produtos. Além disso, não houve nenhum estado classificado “com potencial externo” nem mesmo “com potencial interno”, em relação à pauta exportadora do produto.

Published: August 2023

This study was conducted to investigate the response of stress irrigation management on chlorophyll content, water potential, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and canopy temperature in tomato during summer season. The main plot treatments consist of  three drying cycles that is 7, 11 and 15 days and sub treatments include four irrigation levels viz.,60, 80, 100, and 120 % ETC. The control treatments i.e. drip irrigation with 100% ETC on every two alternate days.  The results showed that the 7 days drying cycle showed maximum chlorophyll content, absorbed PAR and leaf water potential followed by 11 days drying cycle. Among the drip irrigation levels, the maximum drip irrigation levels 120 % ETC exhibited significantly maximum chlorophyll content, absorbed PAR and leaf water potential. However, it was at par with 100 % ETC and further 80 % ETC drip irrigation level also showed significant at 90 and 120 DAT. While in the case of difference between canopy and air temperature (Tc-Ta) less negative values were noted by 7 days drying cycle and 120% ETC drip irrigation level.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from anthropogenic activities are the most significant drivers of climate change, which has both direct and indirect effects on crop production. The study was conducted during the kharif season for two years inside the Open Top Chamber (OTC) at the Genetic-H field of ICAR-Indian Agriculture Research Institute (IARI) to quantify the effect of elevated CO2 and temperature on water use efficiency of rice varieties. There were two different CO2 concentrations i.e. ambient (410 ppm) and elevated (550 ± 25 ppm) and also two different temperature levels i.e. ambient and elevated (+2.5-2.9°C). Results suggested that warming caused more accumulated GDD in rice and which negatively affected the duration of both the varieties. In elevated CO2 plus high temperature interaction treatment net photosynthesis rate was more than that of chamber control. Stomatal conductance and transpiration rate reduced with co-elevation of CO2 and temperature. Co-elevation of CO2 and temperature, has also improved WUE (both instantaneous and intrinsic) through enhanced carbon assimilation and reduced stomatal conductance, thus, reducing the amount of water lost through transpiration, eventually improving WUE of the crop.

In order to investigate the "Effect of Establishment method and Planting date on phenology, yield, and agrometeorological indices for sweet corn," a field experiment was carried out at the Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir Wadura, Sopore experimental farm of the Division of Agronomy, over the course of two sessions in Kharif 2020 and 2021. The experiment had two components: a distinct sowing date with a 20-day interval and two establishment methods (direct seeding and transplanting). The initial planting day was (25th of April, 2nd was 15th of May and third was 5th of June during both the years) Three replications in RCBD were confirmed. Following transplanting with the first date of sowing, direct seeding required the most days to attain different phenological stages and accumulate the most heat units. Transplanting with the initial date of sowing resulted in noticeably greater HUE, HTUE, PTUE, and HyTUE, resulting in the largest green cob and biological yield as compared to other dates of sowing and direct seeding. As a result, given the weather in Kashmir It was discovered that planting on the first day of sowing increased sweet corn yields economically.

An assessment of climate chnage and its impacts on water fluxes in the Shingoda basin of the Saurashtra region having 14% agriculture and 75% forest  were made through analysis of  time series (1951-2100)  of  bias corrected maximum/minimum temperature and rainfall (RCP4.5), rreference evapotranspiration (ETo), evapotranspiration (ETc) and runoff.  Results showed significant climate changes in the basin, with day mean temperature rising from 24.4°C in the second half of the 20th century to 26.5°C and 27.9°C in the first and second half of the 21st century, respectively. During the first and second half of the 21st century, seasonal rainfall increased by 23.0% and 46.33%, and runoff rose by 46.78% and 86.40% compared to the second half of the 20th century. However, annual reference evapotranspiration (ETo) decreased by -1.41% and -6.5%, and crop evapotranspiration (ETc) decreased by -3.2% and -9.8% in the same periods. The analysis also revealed a deficit of -16.10% in downward water flux (rainfall) in the first half of the 20th century, followed by a surplus of 8.46% and 28.37% compared to the upward flux (ETc) in subsequent periods. The upward water flux deficit during 2nd half of 20th century were supported by evidence of depleted groundwater levels and seawater intrusion in the study area.

Positive mental health is a state of mental health, which supports people in face of different difficulties, enabling them to identify their social skills, with the aim of being more productive, emotionally stable and proactive, and helping and promoting community development. Objective: We analyzed the positive mental health level of outpatients according to socio-demographic variables in community mental health centers in Arequipa, Peru. Methods: Descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional study; 1440 outpatients from community health centers over the age of 18 participated. The Lluch Positive Mental Health Scale, which was verified by Calizaya et al. for Peru, was applied, taking into account adaptability, personal satisfaction-autonomy and frustration tolerance. Results: The general level of PMH in the patients was the medium level (89.2%); in the adaptability dimension (F1), the level was high (73.1%). However, the levels of satisfaction and personal autonomy (F2) and tolerance to frustration (F3) were low, 88.5% and 86.0%, respectively. There was no difference in PMH between female and male patients, nor by diagnosis of any disease (p > 0.05). However, due to the educational level (p < 0.05), patients with a higher educational level obtained higher scores. Likewise, older adults and those who are married, dependent workers, and residents of residential areas presented higher PMH levels than the other comparison groups. Conclusion: Outpatients who used the services provided by mental health centers showed a moderate level of positive mental health, as well as the ability to adapt to unfavorable situations. However, they presented problems in personal satisfaction and autonomy, as well as in frustration tolerance.

World Order and Shifting Regional Security Landscapes
Authors: Elamiryan Ruben
Published: August 2023

International Relations in the 21st Century have witnessed a transformation in the Global Order. This has impacted the priorities of the United States in different parts of the world, including the South Caucasus. The paper discusses the US interests in the South Caucasus in the framework of the US ‘Pivot to Asia’ policy and the revised strategy towards Europe and Middle East. It analyses the US National Security Strategy (2017), President Biden’s Interim National Security Strategic Guidance (2021), and other strategic documents, interviews and public speeches, US economic cooperation with the region, as well as quotes expert interviews. The author concludes that the South Caucasus is losing its strategic attractiveness for the US. It is connected with the US policy of strategic refocusing towards the Asia Pacific, decreasing interest towards Caspian energy sources and the withdrawal of US military presence in Afghanistan. However, despite the above, apart from supporting democratic transitions in the region, the US is interested in the region in order to contain Russia, China, and Iran.
Failure to Protect
Authors: Gadkari Ahan
Published: August 2023

Implementation mechanisms within International Law and their failure to act upon situations they were created for are much debated topics in the academic community. There are multiple examples of International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law failing, across the world, in its objective of (a) creating an international obligation to prevent its violations and (b) implementing its principles via compliance mechanisms that do not exist. What is extremely worrying about this is that, although certain western nations support creating these norms, they do not have the political will to uphold them. Even though International Law has multiple implementation mechanisms, they have failed to enforce the de jure principles they have established. Nations across the world are well-aware of the lack of realistic implementation mechanisms within the International Law system but have kept this as a subject of only debates in the United Nations Human Rights Council and international conferences held under the ambit of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The failure of International Law in protecting Human Rights is due to the latent nuances of its colonial nature, which are stitched into the fabric of Public International Law. Countries that have created these norms, have created them with the aim that these norms should fail to apply to them. The paper argues that Public International Law has an intrinsic colonial nature, created for the twin purpose of loot and then acting as a justification for the same.  The paper further argues that International Human and Humanitarian Rights regimes form a smokescreen for International Economic Law and allows it to operate in its shadows without much notice. To reinforce this argument, the paper uses Marxist theory of ideology critique, which states that law works as a disguise for the real processes at work, within the International legal system. The real forces at work remain unknown, while contemporary debate focuses on Public International Law and its failings (Danilenko 1999). It is essential to understand the fundamental issue this structure boils down to, i.e., the Great Powers can direct any action they desire with no fear of consequences, while other countries have no recourse due to the difference in economic and military might. This intrinsic colonial nature of International Law exists in an apparatus that tries to maintain the status quo with the Great Powers at the top.
Book Review: Drifts and Dynamics: Russia’s Ukraine War and Northeast Asia
Authors: Panwar Yukti
Published: August 2023

Since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, scholars across the world have focused on the consequences that this war has had on Ukraine, the global economy, and Europe in particular. The focus has also moved towards how the West has responded to the developments in Ukraine. In India too, there has also been an ongoing debate about the developments in Ukraine and how the government here should respond to it.

However, the mainstream narrative often misses the developments that are happening in Northeast Asia, this book aims at shedding light on this. The book has been written as a collective effort of Professor Sriparna Pathak, Professor Manoj Panigrahi, Divyanshu Jindal, Palak Maheshwari, Ashu Mann, Ashutosh Kumar, Nishant Sharma and Sukanya Bali, highlights how Northeast Asia is responding to the development of Russia invading Ukraine and how the response of each of the actors in the region is unique.
Book Review: How China sees India and the World
Authors: Polcumpally Arun Teja
Published: August 2023

China is a state that has not been completely colonised by any western country. Its political culture is continuously influenced by its history of imperialism, which has carried the concept of a central authoritarian political structure undisturbed for centuries. Even in the modern era, unlike India, China openly acknowledges the existing social-political hierarchies.

‘The Zhou rewrote the history of their violent overthrow of the Shang and began the tradition of dynastic history-writing. This occurred with every dynastic change. There was always the fear of the power of the past to discredit the future. This has continued to be the case into modern times in China.’ (34)

While such attempts to rewrite history take place in every country, including, as we are currently witnessing, in India itself, the Chinese effort is much more deliberative and even dramatic.(39)

All these claims are vetted by Shyam Saran in his book, ‘How China sees India and the World.’

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Farmer Field School Approach in disseminating technologies for improving Farmers’ knowledge and adoption of cultivation practices related to seed potato cultivations in Sri Lanka. The stratified purposive sampling technique was performed to select 40 seed potato farmers who participated in FFS programs (FFS group) and another 40 farmers who were not attended the same (NFFS Group) living in 5 Agricultural Instructor (AI) ranges in the Kandy district in Sri Lanka. A cross-sectional field survey was administrated using pretested questionnaire followed by focus group discussions to collect primary data on socio-economic status, knowledge and adoption level, yield and cost of production, etc., and also farmers’ attitude towards the FFS approach on 5 dimensions (Effectiveness, Efficiency, Relevance, Impact, Sustainability). The qualitative parameters of the above were measured using 5 points Likert scales and developing indexes and applying descriptive analysis, hypothesis testing, and inferential analysis using the Ordered Logistic Regression model to measure variables and explain the relationship among the tested parameters using SPSS statistical package.

A significant difference was observed between FFS and NFFS seed potato growers in terms of knowledge, field practices adoption, land productivity, and production cost. The Ordered Logistic Regression model findings reveal that the model as a whole fit significantly at a 95% confidence level. Pseudo R square expresses that 26.75 % proportion of the variance in adoption level significantly improved the recommended potato cultivation practices as explained by seven independent variables (Education at 2 levels, Experience, Index of Social Participation, Group dynamic, Satisfaction, and Sustainability). Hence, this study proved that the Farmer Field School approach is effective as an agricultural innovation and dissemination platform in all dimensions for significantly improving farmers’ Knowledge and adoption level of cultivation practices leading to increased productivity and profitability.

The stagnant nature of Sri Lankan national coconut production over many decades has been an issue in fulfilling the ever-increasing demand for domestic coconut consumption and industry. Thus, this study aims to address the question of the driving forces of total coconut production growth. This study identifies the sources of Sri Lankan coconut sector growth from 1985 to 2019 by calculating the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth by administering a log-transformed Cobb–Douglas production function and decomposed the results using a data set sourced from various government publications. According to the findings of the study, the average TFP growth of the coconut sector in Sri Lanka for the period 1985-to 2019 has been -1.1%, whereas it was -0.1% and -1.9% during the two sub-periods; 1985-2000 Sub-period I, 2001-2019 Sub-period II, respectively. Therefore, it is evident that the negative growth of the TFP is mostly driven by the high negative growth in the post -2000 period. These findings will help to formulate future growth policies in coconut sector of Sri Lanka.
Varietal purity evaluation in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seeds by means of RAPD markers in Venezuela.
Authors: Laurentin Hernan Eduardo

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an important crop in tropical countries. Its grain is used mainly as source of an excellent quality oil, but it has also applications in confectionery. As any other crop, the seed used as initial input in the agricultural process, is the first warranty of success for the farmer, therefore concept of seed quality is very important. Quality seed must be evaluated during multiplication process, to be sure that this multiplication does not affect varietal purity, which is one of the components of genetic quality of seed. To determine ability of RAPD markers to evaluate varietal purity, two objectives were defined: to evaluate ability of RAPD markers to detect seeds of another cultivar that is not being evaluated (seed contaminants), for that seeds of cultivar UCLA-1 were mixed with seeds of one accession of the Germplasm Bank of Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado, in different proportions: 99:1, 98:2, 97:3 and 95:5. RAPD markers were performed on these different proportions, and band pattern of each proportion were compared to UCLA-1 and to the other accessions band pattern. Every band was reported when RAPD were performed for every sample in each proportion, either bands of UCLA-1 and bands of the other accession. It means, that RAPD was able to identify seed contaminant in proportion as low as 1%. The other objective was to evaluate the ability of RAPD to detect troubles in the step of multiplication seed. For that, RAPD was performed on samples from genetic seed, and seeds of the two following multiplication cycles. RAPD identified the three samples from genetic seed with the same band pattern, but it was different to band pattern of the other two kinds of seed. Therefore, RAPD had the ability to identify that multiplication of seed was not totally suitable, because some non-target seeds appeared as source of DNA, as source of contamination. RAPD proved to be an effective tool to monitor genetic quality, specifically varietal purity, in sesame seed.
Populism’s Building Complex; or: Is there such a thing as Populist Architecture?
Authors: Müller Jan-Werner
Published: August 2023

This article argues that there is a distinctive populist approach to the built environment. Populists claim that they alone represent what they often call “the real people.” Hence, there is a need for them to specify who “the real people” are. If they have sufficient power (and time) while in government, they will reshape the built environment – architecture, no less than urban and rural environments more broadly -- in line with their understanding of “the real people.” In particular, they will create spaces (some obviously political, some not so obvious, such as football stadiums) that can serve as sites for the collective affirmation of a particular understanding of peoplehood. The article also asks how post-populist governments should relate to a built environment reshaped by populists.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017 contraceptive use has increased in many parts of the world, especially in Asia and Latin America and is lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa. Globally, users of modern contraception have increased significantly from 35% in 1970 to 63% in 2017. The 2019 Indonesia Health Profile data shows that most active family planning participants choose injections and pills as contraceptives and are even very dominant (more than 80 %) compared to other methods; inject (63.7%), Pill (17.0%), Implant (7.4%), IUD/IUD (7.4%), Condom (1.2%), MOW (Women's Operative Method) (2 .7%), MOP (Male Operative Method) (0.5%). (RI Ministry of Health, 2020). The side effect of hormonal contraception is disruption of menstruation. The main side effects of DMPA (Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) contraception and implants are menstrual disorders in the form of amenorrhea, spotting, changes in cycles, frequency, length of menstruation and amount of blood loss. The side effects of a contraceptive method are a factor that needs to be considered in determining the decision to continue using the contraceptive method (Hartanto, 2013). The type of research used in this research is analytic with a cross sectional approach. Cross sectional is a research approach that emphasizes the time of measurement/observation of independent variable data and depends only once at a time. The research sampling technique is total sampling. This research will be conducted at the Pratama Vina Clinic, Medan Baru District, Medan City in 2023. The results of the chi-squere test d. There is a significant relationship between the type of hormonal contraception and menstrual disorders in women of childbearing age at the Pratama Vina Clinic, Medan Baru District, Medan City, in 2023 (p= 0.013) and there is a significant relationship between the length of use of hormonal contraception and menstrual disorders in women of childbearing age at the Pratama Vina Clinic, Medan Baru District, Medan City in 2023 (p=0.031).

We spend about 90% of our time indoors.  The air we breathe contains fungi and other microbes.  Airborne fungal communities have been studied in air quality investigations of complaint buildings in response to occupant health issues, water damage, or visible mold growth; however, few studies of the airborne fungal community in non-complaint buildings have been conducted.  Moreover, almost all studies of indoor airborne fungal communities are conducted in large cities in urban locations.  This study describes a baseline survey of the viable airborne fungi found inside a public building in a small rural town.  Fungi were captured passively using an open plate method and isolates were identified to putative taxa through sequence of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region.  We sampled in two different years (2020 and 2022) and sampled the outside airborne fungal community in 2022.  Eighteen fungal taxa were isolated from indoor air; five of these taxa were identified only in 2020, eight taxa were only identified in 2022, and five taxa were identified in both years.  Cladosporium was the most commonly isolated genus from indoor air. We isolated 17 different fungal taxa in 2022; nine were only captured indoors, four were only captured outside, and four were captured both indoors and outside.  This study provides a baseline survey of fungal taxa found inside a public building in a rural location, the variability between years, and the impact of outside air.

Стаття присвячена інноваційному підходові до управлінню ризиками у фінансовій сфері. Здійснено аналіз наукових досліджень із фінансової ризикології та суміжних наук. Обґрунтований авторський підхід та напрацьовані факторні моделі щодо системного поєднання стратегічного, тактичного й оперативного фінансового ризик-менеджменту; запропоновані факторні моделі та критерії оцінки ефективності фінансових стратегічних, тактичних і оперативних рішень.Уперше введене поняття капіталізації статутного капіталу та індексу швидкості його капіталізації як індикаторів вимірювання ефективності фінансових рішень. Обґрунтовані варіанти управлінської поведінки в певних фінансових ситуаціях з урахуванням їхньої ризикованості. Завдяки факторному моделюванню визначено зв’язок капіталізації статутного капіталу з поточними фінансовими показниками, а саме прибутком підприємства з урахуванням процедури його розподілу.В оперативному фінансовому менеджменті акцент робиться на тому, що грошові кошти за раціональним їх розподілом потрібно спрямовувати: спочатку на погашення зовнішніх поточних зобов’язань, а потім – для фінансування поточних внутрішніх потреб. Для покриття зовнішніх поточних зобов’язань варто здійснювати відповідний моніторинг і рефінансування дебіторської заборгованості, а задля фінансового забезпечення поточних внутрішніх потреб – формувати відповідного розміру страховий грошовий фонд; причому ці два процеси мають відбуватися комплексно й паралельно один одному.Практичне запровадження системного фінансового ризик-менеджменту в поєднанні його складових: стратегічної, тактичної та оперативної – дозволить покращити управління фінансовою сферою, підвищить її ефективність і буде відповідати інтересам і власників підприємства, і його менеджерів.
