Published: November 2022

Snow observations are important in many mountain areas to quantify the water stored in snowpacks and to predicting runoff during the melting period. In this study we compare the performance of five different regional-scale gridded snow products to reproduce snow water equivalent (SWE) in the Upper Euphrates region (Karasu Basin, 10,275 km2), with observations from automatic weather stations in the catchment through Taylor diagrams. The products compared are the ERA5, ERA5-Land, MERRA-2, snow data from a dynamical downscaling of ERA-5 (period 2000-2018) and SWE generated from microwave satellite data (SWE-E(H13) period 2013-2015 product of the EUMETSAT H SAF project). The H13 product presented deficiencies in terms of not being able to reproduce the spatial and temporal variability of the snowpack. ERA-5 and, in particular, ERA-Land products, at 30 and 9 km grid size, respectively, showed good performance in reproducing snow evolution compared to four available observation sites. MERRA2 at 50 km resolution showed lower skills compared to the above-mentioned products. Resulting snow data from WRF at 10 km resolution did not show any improvement with respect to the global datasets. The impossibility of testing different configurations due to the lack of observations to compare and the computational constraints to test different parametrizations may be the reasons to explain the low performance although they remain speculative. All the gridded datasets showed good performance in reproducing snow duration over the basin, compared to remotely sensed data. Results highlight ERA-Land dataset as a very promising tool for regional snow studies in mountainous regions with limited observations, in a cost-effective way.

Infective endocarditis is an unconventional infectious disease nonetheless life-threatening. A roundabout of 3% to 5% cases of Streptococcal infective endocarditis is caused by nutritionally variant Streptococci (NVS). Granulicatella species is one of the atypical causes of infective endocarditis. In this context, the authors are disclosing a case of infective endocarditis in an underlying rheumatic heart disease patient, caused by Granulicatella adiacens. The patient had breathlessness for the past four months, on and off fever for two months anew and mid-diastolic murmur with vegetation in aortic valve as appeared by echocardiogram. The blood cultures were tested positive for Granulicatella adiacens. The patient was successfully treated with intravenous vancomycin for a period of six weeks.

Published: November 2022

A construção civil é um dos setores mais importantes na economia mundial, porém, também é o maior gerador de resíduos, devido aos desperdícios, ao uso de materiais de baixa qualidade, à falta de controle tecnológico, a reformas e demolição. Nesse contexto, uma das aplicações para os resíduos gerados é a sua utilização como agregados reciclados (AR) em substituição aos agregados naturais (AN) em materiais cimentícios. Então, o emprego de AR para a fabricação de materiais destinados para fim estrutural, como o concreto, precisa ser mais bem investigado, de maneira que o limite máximo permitido pela NBR 15116 (20% de substituição) possa ser aumentado com segurança em futuras revisões. Com essa perspectiva, este trabalho apresenta uma breve revisão de literatura, elucidando algumas das principais propriedades dos resíduos de construção e demolição quando empregados no concreto, como heterogeneidade, trabalhabilidade e porosidade, resistência à compressão, resistência à tração, módulo de elasticidade e resistência à abrasão, absorção de água, carbonatação e penetração de íons cloreto.
Microbial Endophytes: A Hidden Plant Resident, Application and Their Role in Abiotic Stress Management in Plants
Authors: Fatima Touseef , Sharma Swati , Bano Ambreen , Srivastava Divya , Verma Isha , Singh Poonam C
Published: November 2022

Microbial communities in nature involve complex interactions with several biotic and abiotic components. An endo-symbiotic association is one in which one organism lives within the host plant for at least a part of its life. It is often obligate and does not create visible disease and has been reported to exist for at least 400 million years. Beneficial endophytes promote plant nutrient uptake, host plant growth, reduce disease severity, inhibit plant pathogens and improve tolerance to environmental stresses. Stresses like salinity, alkalinity, drought, global warming, temperature and pollution will increase in prominence and endophytes are predicted to play a significant role and offer eco-friendly techniques to increase productivity under such conditions. There also exists the potential for genetic modification of endophytes to impart additional stress tolerance traits in hosts. The present review discusses the beneficial effect of fungal and bacterial endophytes, emphasizing improving crop productivity under abiotic stress conditions. The review also discusses the various aspects of physiological and molecular mechanisms determining the interaction and stress tolerance, enhancing plant functions and productivity.
Chronic Exposure to Heavy Metals Declines Sperm Quality and Damages Tissue Architecture
Authors: De Chaudhuri Sujata
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to assess the toxic effects of heavy metals in adult male rats after chronic exposure in early life stages. Juvenile male Wistar rats were kept in constant supply of drinking water having heavy metal salts such as Sodium Arsenite, Cadmium Chloride and Lead Acetate of dose 100 times higher than Maximum Contamination Limit (MCL; laid done by US EPA, 2009) for 3 months along with control rats with a supply of heavy metal free water. The result showed decreased sperm count and increase in abnormal sperm in all treated cases. Histopathology showed that testes and liver tissues of treated rats were severely damaged. Thus, this study showed that chronic exposure to heavy metals such as Arsenic, Cadmium and Lead in juvenile period may result in reduced reproductive capacity at later stage of life.
Stücke: Graphic Vignettes and the Haptic Response in László Nemes’s Saul fia
Authors: Wald Sarah
Published: November 2022

This article examines László Nemes’s film Saul fia (2015) and its visual and sonic use of brutalized human bodies to induce a haptic response in its audience. Presented out of focus and often at the periphery of the shot, the visual frame of human death causes viewers of the film to recoil into the centre of the frame—a space typically occupied by the film’s protagonist, Saul Auslӓnder. This article argues that these visually and sonically induced haptic triggers, and the claustrophobia that results, tether the audience to Auslӓnder to re-centre the viewer’s gaze as that of a companion rather than perpetrator. Drawing from extant literature on cinematic haptics and filmic representations of the Holocaust, this article engages with contemporary discourses on graphic Holocaust representations in contemporary feature-length films to examine the impact of graphic imagery and haptic cinematics on the perspective and ability of the viewer to subvert the perpetrator gaze.

PRACTICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAW OF UKRAINE «ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE» (CRITICAL ANALYSIS)
Authors: Mykolenko O. I.
Published: November 2022

The article provides a critical analysis of the provisions of the Law of Ukraine «On Administrative  Procedure» in view of the practical significance of its  prescriptions. It has been established that the following factors can negatively affect the degree of  implementation of a normative-legal act: 1) the level  of general and legal culture of citizens; 2)  inconsistency of legal prescriptions with the urgent  and important needs of society or a certain social  group; 3) lack of clear mechanisms for the implementation of norms established in them; 4) the desire of lawyers to transfer generalized theoretical  concepts first to the plane of law-making, and then  to the sphere of law enforcement. It has been proven that the Law of Ukraine «On Administrative Procedure» is full of theoretical generalizations that  do not fully take into account the peculiarities of practice. It was found that the scope of  implementation of the requirements of the Law of Ukraine «On Administrative Procedure» is  significantly narrowed, which is due to the following factors: 1) the specificity of certain types of social  relations, where other procedures are used (for  example, court procedures in court proceedings,  administrative or official procedures in the field of public services); 2) the existence of special laws that  already regulate the specifics of certain procedures  (for example, notarial procedures, election  procedures); 3) a special regime of legal regulation of such spheres as national security, defense, and  investigative activities. Attention is drawn to the fact  that already today there are numerous questions  regarding the provisions of the Law of Ukraine «On Administrative Procedure» regarding their  application. It is emphasized that even more  questions regarding the content of the normative  legal act will arise after the subjects of law  enforcement begin to implement its prescriptions.  The following are predicted: 1) numerical changes to the Law of Ukraine «On Administrative Procedure» itself; 2) numerical changes in normative legal acts  regulating certain types of administrative procedures; 3) numerous official and unofficial  interpretations of the legal prescriptions of the Law; 4) numerical errors of subjects of law enforcement  activity. The conclusion that the Law of Ukraine «On  Administrative Procedure» ignores the variety of  administrative procedures, which are significantly  different in terms of purpose, subject and content of  administrative case review, subject composition and types of decisions on the case, is justified. It is  suggested that the generalized regulation of  administrative procedures does more harm than  good to the legal regulation of public service  relations and relations for the provision of  administrative services.
ABOUT PUBLICLY DANGEROUS ACTIONS PROVIDED FOR BY ART. 232-3 OF THE CRIMINAL CODE OF UKRAINE
Authors: Bartosh I. I.
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to the study of certain aspects of the legislative description of the criminal law  novel, dedicated to the regulation of criminal liability  for the illegal use of insider information regarding  wholesale energy products (Article 232-3 of the  Criminal Code of Ukraine). The urgency of turning to  this criminal legal issue is explained by the fact that,  due to the relative novelty of the ban under  consideration, its construction has not yet been  subject to critical analysis in the pages of domestic  legal literature. As a result of writing the article, deficiencies in the legislation were identified in terms of the description of the relevant act, and scientifically based ways of solving them were also proposed.
In particular, it was proven that responsibility for  socially dangerous acts, currently provided for in  Part 1 and Part 2 of Art. 232-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, should be unified. It is indicated that a  similar proposal is also relevant in relation to Art.  232-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, because in the process of improving the criminal legislation, the two analyzed homogeneous criminal law norms must be  constructed almost identically.
The expediency of specifying in the updated edition of Art. 232-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine on the  single concept of “disclosure” of relevant insider  information. It is noted that in order to agree with  the disposition of Part 1 and Part 2, the name of Art.  232-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine needs  correction and should be set out as follows: “Insider  trading in wholesale energy markets”. It is concluded that a broad understanding of the term used in Part 1 of Art. 232-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the  term “recommendation”, which includes not only  recommendations for direct purchase or sale, but  also refraining from such actions, is fully consistent  with the prescriptions of European regulatory  legislation.
APPROACHES TO ENFORCEMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL TREATIES: BETWEEN DETENTION AND CORRECTION
Authors: Pidgorodynska Yu. I.
Published: November 2022

In the article approaches to ensuring compliance with international environmental agreements are  considered. It is determined that in international law  there are two main approaches to ensuring  compliance with treaties and the obligations arising  from them: facilitative or incentive and coercive,  which correspond to non-confrontational and  confrontational means of responding to violations. International environmental law gives preference to  the facilitative approach since it shows itself more  attractive for states that are often afraid of serious  sanctions and other negative consequences of non-compliance with treaties. Moreover, the facilitative approach really helps developing states technically  and financially to fulfill their obligations under  multilateral environmental agreements. The most  famous and successful example of them is the Montreal Protocol to the Vienna Convention for the  Protection of the Ozone Layer of 1985.
At the same time, a number of treaties are  characterized by confrontational measures that are really necessary in the cases of voluntary non-compliance. The example of the latter is the Kyoto Protocol of 1997 to the United Nations Framework  Convention on Climate Change of 1992, which has  not proved itself efficient enough.
The author emphasizes the need to combine two approaches in developing a procedure for ensuring  compliance with international environmental  agreements, taking into account the object and  purposes of an agreement. On the one hand, it will  give the parties more possibilities for voluntary compliance and, on the other hand, will stimulate  them to do so by the risk of enforcement. The  appropriate combination should be supported by  effective means and methods of international verification and be manifested in the functions of  compliance bodies. Hopefully the Paris Agreement of 2015 to the United Nations Framework Convention  on Climate Change of 1992 will show itself a  successful instance of such an approach.

Utilising science–business relations in dissertations developed at universities
Authors: Fazlagić Jan , Erkol Arif
Published: November 2022

This article presents theoretical background based on research results that is related to the issue of creating applied diploma theses at universities in Poland. On the one hand, this issue is very important for improving the quality of higher education and broadly understood innovation of the economy, and on the other hand, it is still treated as a set of expectations and demands towards universities. The aim of the paper is to identify and investigate the possibilities of increasing the applicability of dissertations developed in higher education institutions. The main research question was: “How to increase the applicability of diploma theses developed by its students?”. The applicability of diploma theses developed by its students is positioned here as one of the tenets of the Third Mission ( TM) in universities. The paper aims to make a contribution to the efforts aimed at explaining the engagement of universities in the TM implementation. The TMdriven approach to operating a university represents a radical (and often contested by academics) departure from their traditional ‘ivory tower’ stance in which teaching and research have always been treated as ends in themselves (Nakwa & Zawdie, 2016). The authors used the workshop method to achieve this aim. Workshops are becoming a popular research tool in qualitative research where researchers can gather a group of participants who under the instructions of a facilitator can discuss a specific subject. The authors participated as facilitators in a series of workshops at the University of Warsaw attended by the academic staff who were dissertations supervisors. The study also presents suggestions and recommendations for thesis supervisors in the field of increasing the applicability of research results published in theses. The article contains the results of a survey conducted among participants of a training and consulting project carried out at the University of Warsaw. The project aimed to increase the applicability of diploma theses developed by its students.

Authors: Stegemann Cristiane , Da Rosa Almeida Aline , De Souza Medeiros Henrique
Published: November 2022

A indústria da moda tem elevada importância no cenário mundial por diversos aspectos, por exemplo, em termos de receita, o que repercute diretamente na geração de empregos. No entanto, o impacto ambiental causado pelos processos relacionados à produção e descarte de materiais no setor é bastante preocupante, principalmente quando consideradas as projeções de crescimento para os próximos anos. Para nortear uma evolução sustentável em nível global nesse incremento do setor produtivo, é de suma importância levar em consideração os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável, que apontam para a tomada de decisões de empresas, ampliando a importância de aspectos relacionados a impactos ambientais, sociais e de governança. No tocante às soluções a serem empregadas na indústria têxtil, destaca-se o desenvolvimento de matérias-primas com apelo sustentável. Uma das alternativas mais promissoras para a síntese de materiais tecnológicos é a biofabricação, que basicamente utiliza fundamentos de biologia, ciência dos materiais, engenharia mecânica, entre outras áreas, para conceber biomateriais que, no contexto têxtil, sejam inovadores em termos da diminuição de impactos ambientais para confecção, com descarte facilitado e aplicabilidade semelhante à dos materiais mais usuais, como algodão e couro. Nesse cenário, estão na vanguarda os biomateriais confeccionados a partir de micélio e celulose bacteriana. Neste artigo, foram explorados alguns aspectos importantes pertinentes ao conceito de biofabricação e sua utilização no panorama nacional e internacional da indústria têxtil, direcionados principalmente para as tecnologias de micélio e celulose bacteriana, que, no momento, têm mais notoriedade em termos de volume de investimentos e divulgação publicitária de grandes marcas globais.

Chantal Mouffe vs. Carl Schmitt: The Political, Democracy, and the Question of Sovereignty
Authors: Smoleński Jan
Published: November 2022

In this paper I compare political theories of Carl Schmitt and Chantal Mouffe in three important aspects - the conceptualization of the political, their attitude towards liberal democracy and the conception of political process - and point to significant discrepancies. Schmitt's concept of the political is deeply existential and essentially involves real possibility of death, whereas Mouffe's is more domesticated, centered around the struggle, not physical elimination. Schmitt sees liberal democracy as inherently contradictory, because it is grounded on contradictory principles: democratic equality and particularism, and liberal freedom and universalism. Mouffe perceives this contradiction as a locus of tension with emancipatory potential. I trace these differences to their different perception of history. Schmitt's vision of history is marked with ruptures created by the political emergencies, which correlates with his eventual, decisionistic conception of politics. Mouffe's processual conception of politics corresponds rather with the conception of the end of history.

Authors: Debbarma M. , Deka D. , Roychoudhury P.
Published: November 2022

Background: E. coli is one of the most important zoonotic pathogen and also an indicator of faecal contamination of food and water. There is paucity of data regarding the level of contamination of raw meat and characterization of pathogenic E. coli from slaughtered cattle and chicken in un-organized sector from Mizoram, India. Methods: Raw meat samples from traditionally slaughtered cattle and chicken were collected from Aizawl, Kolasib and Champhai districts of Mizoram and analyzed for E. coli count (ECC), serotypes and virulence genes of STEC and ETEC. Result: A proportion of 65.55 per cent beef and 58.89 per cent chicken had unacceptable level of ECC. The most predominant serotypes of E. coli were O118 (13.33%) in beef and O8 (13.89%) in chicken. Both STEC (8.00% and 6.94%) and ETEC (12.00% and 26.38%) pathotypes were detected in beef and chicken, respectively. Detection of serotype O121 in chicken and O26 and O111 in both beef and chicken along with virulence genes of STEC indicated the contamination of raw meat with highly pathogenic STEC strains.

Published: November 2022

The objective of the study was to quantify the inhibitory effect of repeated use of steep-out water on selected germination parameters. Ten malting barley genotypes from three sites were tested in this research. Statistically significant inhibitory effects of recycled steep-out water on germination rate GR (reduction by 22.8% on average compared to distilled water), germination index GI (reduction by 10.9% on average compared to distilled water), as well as germination energy GE (reduction by 2.4% on average compared to distilled water) were recorded. Compared to the average GI of all varieties in distilled water (4.6), GI was lower by 6.7% and 6.1% for Laudis 550, 5.0% and 6.3% for Manta, but 14.1% and 13.3% for Tango, and 17.2% and 15.2% for Vendela when water from the first and second steeps was used. The varietal differences identified, as well as the effect of provenience, indicated different levels of GI reduction depending on the vigour of the caryopsis. Caryopses of the genotypes with higher vigour are able to cope better with the inhibitory effect of the steep-out water on germination.
Insertion the Values of Religious Moderation on Indonesian EFL Class
Authors: Anggarini Ida Fitri
Published: November 2022

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) means learning English in a non-English speaking country, for example, Thailand and Indonesia. Admittedly, EFL educators encourage the student to improve their English skills such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. In writing skills, teaching vocabulary has important points. Focusing on learning English vocabulary that inserts the value of religious moderation, this research took a case study in an Islamic primary school in Malang on Indonesian EFL Class. With a qualitative case study, the researcher addressed two main methods for two Indonesian EFL students and teachers in Malang. By using reflective essays and interviews as the methods, the data concluded that most of the challenges found had similarities and related to each other. Along with the challenges, the researcher also found out the strategies done by all of the participants such as implementing the values of religious moderation as a way of teaching vocabulary, enriching the student’s vocabulary, and improving the student’s writing English skills.

Authors: Mulyono Agus , Wafiroh Novi Lailiyul , Muthmainnah Muthmainnah
Published: November 2022

Students who study at the Bahrul Ulum Gondanglegi Islamic boarding school do not have the skills to make their own herbal beauty products, especially soap, so there is a lot of waste just to buy beauty products that are getting more expensive. This underlies the need for introduction and training in making bidara leaf eco-enzyme and bidara leaf eco-enzyme herbal soap which has many benefits, especially for health and beauty. The methods carried out in this community service activity include socialization of the use and utilization of bidara leaves as efficacious plants and sunnahs, training on making bidara leaf eco-enzymes, and training on making herbal soap made from bidara leaf eco-enzymes. The training that has been given, was enthusiastically welcomed by all participants and caregivers of islamic boarding schools. Participants can follow the process of making bidara leaf eco-enzymes and the process of making herbal soaps made from bidara leaf eco-enzymes well, this is evidenced by the final product results that are well completed. In addition, the discussion containing questions and answers about the benefits of the products made is also very interesting. Participants asked a variety of good questions related to the eco-enzyme benefits of bidara leaves. In addition to personal use, it is hoped that mass production of herbal soap made from bidara leaf eco-enzyme can be carried out to be then marketed to the surrounding environment and be able to become one of the innovative products of pesantren that provides economic benefits.
The Influence of Job Redundancies Toward Intention to Leave with Job Insecurity as the Intervening Variable: A Case Study of a Four-Star Hotel in Indonesia During Pandemic Covid-19
Authors: Shu Efin , Edward Yusuf Ronny
Published: November 2022

Pandemic Covid-19 has caused the hospitality, travel, and tourism industry around the world to face a major loss. One way to minimize the loss in these sectors is by implementing job redundancies. This option was also implemented by one of the hotels in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. However, job redundancies are not implemented without costs. Employees will experience continuous fear or job insecurity which will result in employees’ willingness to find a new job or intention to leave. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to find out if job redundancies influence the intention to leave with job insecurity as the intervening variable towards the survivors of the redundancy program at the hotel. This research is using the quantitative method as its research approach. The data collection method is conducted by distributing an online questionnaire. The data has passed the validity and reliability tests. The first until third hypotheses tests are using t-test while the fourth hypothesis is using Sobel test. The results of the research show that job redundancies influence job insecurity by 57.9%. Both job insecurity and job redundancies influence the intention to leave by 72%. Finally, job redundancies indirectly influence the intention to leave through job insecurity. The recommendations are to conduct business process re-engineering or service process re-designing to maintain the viability of the business, instead of opting for job redundancies. Job redundancies should be the last resort when previous options are not working as this will affect employee turnover rate in the future.

Borassus akeassii Bayton, Ouédr. et Guinko est une espèce à usage multiple, cultivée par diverses sociétés dans le sud-ouest du Burkina Faso. Ces rôneraies sont aujourd’hui affectées dans leur structure par de profonds changements sociologiques et économiques. Cet article traite de la répartition des parcs à B. akeassii et de leurs principales caractéristiques sociétales et environnementales dans cette région. Un recensement des rôneraies le long de parcours sur les voies de circulation a été effectué ainsi que des enquêtes auprès des habitants. Plus de 240 parcs agroforestiers à B. akeassii ont ainsi été recensés et cartographiés dans les deux régions administratives des Cascades et des Hauts-Bassins. Les rôneraies les plus grandes et les plus fortement exploitées se rencontrent dans les terroirs de la société karaboro, notamment dans le département de Banfora. Dans toute la région d’étude, la culture du rônier est pratiquée surtout dans les espaces réservés aux cultures pluviales, y compris les alentours des habitations. La répartition des populations de rôniers est gouvernée par de nombreux facteurs, mais les plus déterminants sont l’histoire des sociétés rurales ainsi que l’intensité et la diversité de leurs usages de l’espèce.

This action research aims at exploring the contribution of self-assessment checklists on improving oral presentations of two participants that were taking an initial-level English as a second language course at a technician professional institute in Talcahuano, Chile. The intervention was carried out in four weekly sessions in which the participants were trained on the different criteria to assess their oral presentations. The participants self-assessed their work with a checklist and performed a second presentation based on their first self-assessment. Analytic rubrics were also used as an external assessment to compare results from the checklists. At the end of the intervention, a semi-structured interview was conducted to obtain the participants’ perceptions about the process. Findings reveal that by developing autonomy, language awareness, and self-reflective skills, the use of the self-assessment checklist supported the participants not only to improve their oral presentation in overall aspects, mainly in fluency and pronunciation aspects, but also to make positive changes in their confidence and expectations about their performance.

Gesichtsvariationen. Faciale Motivik im Textbuch der „Zauberflöte“
Authors: Puchalski Lucjan
Published: November 2022

Der vorliegende Aufsatz setzt sich mit der Problematik der Zauberflöte auseinander, deren Libretto im Hinblick auf Szenen und Situationen untersucht wird, in denen die Frage des menschlichen Gesichts aufgegriffen wird. Es geht in erster Linie darum, die auf die Physiognomik zurückgehenden Inspirationen im Textbuch der Oper zu ermitteln und den hier gehandhabten Umgang mit der Bildlichkeit des Gesichts unter Bezugnahme auf kulturwissenschaftliche Erkundungen dieses Themas zu analysieren, um daraus Anhaltspunkte für die Interpretation des gesamten Werkes zu gewinnen. Die so gewonnenen Erkenntnisse zeigen, dass das Gedankengut der Physiognomik in der dargestellten Welt der Oper durchaus rezipiert wurde, es war allerdings eine sehr kritische Rezeption. Der Gesichtsdiskurs in der Zauberflöte bestätigt, dass deren Botschaften weit über die Schwarzweißmalerei des auf den ersten Blick märchenhaften Konflikts zwischen Gut und Böse hinausgehen.
