Análise ambiental da sub-bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão Bonito: uma abordagem morfométrica e do uso e cobertura das terras
Authors: Amorim Amanda Trindade , Piroli Edson Luís
Published: December 2020

A análise das dinâmicas naturais e das atuações antrópicas nas bacias hidrográficas são importantes para prever cenários futuros e subsidiar a gestão e o planejamento dessas unidades territoriais. O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar os parâmetros morfométricos referentes às características geométricas, de relevo e da rede de drenagem, e o uso e cobertura das terras da sub-bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão Bonito, localizada nos municípios de Avaré e Itatinga, no estado de São Paulo, por meio da utilização das geotecnologias. As características morfométricas da sub-bacia hidrográfica exibem uma dinâmica natural indicativa de baixa probabilidade de enchentes. A rede de drenagem possui uma hierarquia fluvial de cinco ordens, mas sua densidade de drenagem é baixa, sobretudo devido ao relevo predominantemente plano e declives suaves. A referida sub-bacia possui baixa cobertura florestal (7,17%) e as Áreas de Preservação Permanente – APP’s necessitam de medidas de recuperação, uma vez que apenas 45,73% delas estão preservadas, mas, as coberturas presentes são favoráveis à infiltração da água e, se manejadas corretamente, tornam a área importante para a proteção dos solos e a manutenção da perenidade dos recursos hídricos.

Published: December 2020

The article provides the results of the analysis of methods and instrument equipment for the assessment of quality parameters of retted flax straw and flax fiber. The traditional methods and equipment are presented. The devices developed for flax fiber quality testing used in the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and Ukraine are described. Methods, equipment and modern technologies used to determine the quality of flax fiber in European countries, Canada and the United States are provided. The role of modern developments to improve the efficiency of flax production is noted. Promising methods and devices for determining the main quality indicators are identified. The use of the method of automated forecasting of technological value of fiber flax stalks makes it possible to conduct a comprehensive quality assessment based on morphological and anatomical analysis. Modern capabilities of electronic scanning microscopy provide the control of the chemical composition and structural elements of flax stems at various stages of growth and development, as well as during maceration. The use of infrared spectrometry provides high accuracy in determining humidity, strength, fiber content, and long fiber yield.However, along with high-precision equipment, there is the need for equipment and devices that allow determining the main technological indicators in the field with minimal labor, time and money costs. Research in this direction was previously carried out at the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Bast Crops Processing and in Kostroma State Technological University. However, the developments of the scientists were not tested in the production process and were not mass-produced. High speed and objective measurement methods will provide the accurate indicators during the process of maceration and primary processing of retted straw that will increase the technological value and competitiveness of flax fiber.

Published: December 2020

The article presents the results of a long-term study (2014-2018) of the biological characteristics of growth and development of plants of the introduced species – red feather clover (Trifolium rubens L.) when growing grass stands for seeds in the soil-and-climatic conditions of the Volga-Vyatka region. The species was assessed for winter hardiness, the duration of the growing season, plant height, structure of seed grass stand, seed productivity and seed quality. Winter hardiness of red feather clover in all years of cultivation was high (more than 80 %). The development of plants took place according to the mid-season type: depending on the conditions of the year of growth, they reached the flowering phase for 61-75 days; ripening phase – for 82-105 days from the beginning of regrowth. The duration of grass stand flowering was 14-40 days, ripening – 15-39 days. During the phases of development, the species is responsive to changes in the meteorological conditions of the year of study. In the first and second years of life, the active formation of the root system of plants took place, therefore, taking into account the structure of the seed grass, the height of the plants, the density of the stalk and the proportion of generative stems in the grass, the number of heads and the weight of seeds per 1 m2 was lower than in subsequent years. Productive in seeds grass stand was formed since the third year of life and reached a plant height in the flowering phase of 49.2-56.2 cm, in the ripening phase – 50.4-63.4 cm. It was characterized by the density of the stems standing of 1019.7-1151.6 pcs/m2 with the proportion of generative stems – 96.0-99.6 %, the number of mature heads – 978.9-1147.0 pcs/m2 and seed productivity – 18.8-55.0 g/m2. Seed production was regular, despite strong fluctuations in yield. The seed material was of high quality: seed germination – 94-100 %, germination energy – 58.3-81.3 %, and was characterized by 1000-seed mass of 2.25-2.38 g, hard seed content – 9.1-20.0 %.

Published: December 2020

One of the directions of apple breeding in the Middle Urals is the development of varieties with a long-term storability. The ability of apples to maintain their consumer qualities for a long period is one of the most important indicators of the variety. A significant role in the storage of apples is played by the amount of ethylene produced in them. The paper presents the results of identification of genes involved in the control of ethylene biosynthesis in apple varieties selected by the Sverdlovsk horticultural breeding station. A total of 21 apple varieties were analyzed. The main objective of the study was to detect Md-ACO1-1 and Md-ACS1-2 alleles in the homozygous state. The combination of these alleles in one genotype reduces the production of ethylene in fruits, which contributes to their long-term storability. The analysis showed the availability of polymorphism in the two studied genes. The Md-ACO1 gene is characterized by the availability of two alleles in most varieties. The homozygous Md-ACO1-1 allele was identified in the Isetskoe pozdnee variety. Analysis of the Md-ACS1 gene revealed the predominance of the Md-ACS1-1 allele form. The Md-ACS1-2 allelic form was observed only in heterozygous samples. No combination of Md-ACO1-1 and Md-ACS1-2 alleles was found in the homozygous state. However, heterozygous forms are also of interest for breeding. They can serve as a source of a character of reduced ethylene biosynthesis when creating varieties with a long-term storability. Such varieties are Sokol yasnyy, Aksena, Rozovatoe zimnee, Sverdlovchanin, Isetskoe pozdnee, Blagaya vest'. The comparison of fruit storage periods and the genotype of the variety has been made. Allelesassociated with a reduced level of ethylene biosynthesis are typical both for the varieties with low and high storability.

Published: December 2020

The research is devoted to the development of clonal micro-propagation technology of the decorative cereal Molinia caerulea (L.) Moench. The concentration of 2.0 mg /l of cytokinin 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BAP) contributed to obtaining the maximum number of microshoots: 6.3 and 7.9 pcs. on Anderson's and Murashige-Skoog's (MS) media, respectively, which exceeded the control (by 4.7 and 6.3, respectively, with LSD05 = 2.3). The length shoots were observed on hormone-free media, this indicator significantly decreased with an increase in 6-BAP content. On Anderson and MS media with 1.0 mg/l 6-BAP, the shoot length averaged 21.5 and 26.4 mm, respectively, which made it possible to transplant them for rooting, bypassing planting on a medium for elongation. The inclusion of the Siliplant micro-fertilizer in the MS medium at doses of 1.0 and 2.0 ml/l contributed to a significant increase in shoot size, by 16.7 and 10.7 mm (LSD05 = 8.9), respectively, in comparison with the control (MS). It is recommended to use Anderson's medium and 0.5 mg/l of indole-3-acetic acid as a medium for rhizogenesis: after two weeks of cultivation, the regenerants had a standard appearance with developed roots suitable for planting for adaptation. At the adaptation stage, watering the substrate with the biofungicide «Trichoderma veride» according to the instructions and a cereals single spraying with the micro-fertilizer «Siliplant» at a dose of 1.5 ml/l contributed to their 100 % survival rate.
The effect of minimum methods of primary tillage on the structural and aggregate composition of gray forest soil in the Chuvash Republic
Authors: Antonov V. G.
Published: December 2020

The article informs on the 2006-2019 studies of the effect of resource-saving methods of tillage based on the use of combined tillage units KOS-3 (1st minimum), BDM-3.2х4 (2nd minimum), Spider-6 (3rd minimum without autumn tillage) in two crop rotations (grain-fallow-row crop rotation and grain-fallow-row green manure crop rotation) on the structural-aggregate composition of gray forest soil and crop yields. During the year of laying the experiment the percentage of structural aggregates (0.25-10 mm) in the soil of a grain-fallow-row crop rotation ranged from 72.2 to 74.4 %, in a grain-fallow-row green manure crop rotation – from 70.1 to 73.2 %, with the structural coefficient (K) 2.60-2.91 and 2.41-2.73, respectively. For two crop rotations the structural state of the soil improved due to the effect of green manure crop rotation (К = 3.07, LSD05 = 0.13) as compared to the grain-row without green manure (К = 2.93). More significant differences according to the soil structure coefficient were obtained in studied tillages: 3.03 (plowing), 3.41 (1st minimum), 2.91 (2nd minimum), 2.65 (3d minimum) with LSD05 = 0.17. The first and the second methods of minimal tillage had an advantage over plowing as to the increase in agronomically valuable aggregates (0.25-10 mm) as compared with the original soil. On the average among the crop rotations the yield of grain crops by classical and 1st minimum methods of tillage (3.65-3.66 t/ha) exceeded significantly the indicators of all the rest variants with minimum tillage (by 0.15-0.43 t/ha, LSD05 = 0.10). The yield of potato in all variants with minimal soil tillage was significantly lower (by 5.1-8.3 t/ha, LSD05 = 1.44) than with plowing (27.8 t/ha). The assessment of profitability of grain crops cultivation showed the advantages of replacing the moldboard plowing for resource-saving methods using combined tillage units KOS-3 and BDM-4-3.2 which provided the yield of spring and winter wheat, barley and spring vetch at the level of 2.42-4.50 and 2.33-4.41 t/ha, respectively, with cultivation profitability of 51-64 and 44-59 %. The third minimum method of tillage decreased the cultivation profitability of grain crops and vetch by 10-15 %. The best indicators of potato production profitability (67-82 %) were achieved when using the classical variant of soil tillage.

Published: December 2020

In the conditions of the Chuvash Republic, the effect of slottingbetween rowson hop yield and on the water-physical properties of gray forest soil was studied. Soil slotting was used during 2017-2019 in autumn after the completion of harvesting operations (late September-early October) on hop plantations of the Podvyazny variety. Tillage with a SCHX-1.6slotting device (Czech Republic) was carried out to the depth of 50 and 65 cm at different time intervals (annually and three years later). As the control, there was taken the conventional tillage without the use of aparaplow combined with autumn tillage of row spacing to a depth of 20 cm. Studies have shown that the use of aparaplow to a depth of 50 and 65 cm improved the aeration and water permeability of the soil (the specific weight of the 20-25 cm soil layer decreased by 0.1-0.2 g/cm3, the volume weight of the same layer-by 0.1-0.3 g/cm3) and contributed to an increase in hop yield by 1.4-3.1centners per hectare (LSD05 =1.3 centners/ha) compared to the conventional tillage of row spacing (20.9 centners/ha). The content of alpha-acids in hop cones was not affected by slotting between the rows of hops. The specific weight of the 50-55 cm soil layer significantly decreased in all variants in comparison with the control. The highest moisture content of the deep layers of the soil (30-55 cm) was achieved with conventional tillage combined with annual autumn slotting to 50 cm depth. All the studied variants in comparison with the control give a significant increase in the yield of hop cones. For the production, the variant with the lowest costs for deep tillage should be recommended. It is the annual processing of the top soil layer combined with the autumn slotting every 3 years to 50 cm depth.

Published: December 2020

Phytochemicals, the natural biochemical substances produced by plants possess a range of medicinal values. These phytochemicals get into our system through food and bring different physiological benefits. However, many of these phytochemicals lack essential physicochemical properties that can provide them effective drug-likeness properties. Vinca rosea alkaloids are known for their therapeutic values especially in the cancer treatment domain. However, the physiochemical properties of these molecules limit their bioavailability greatly. This current research aimed at improving the bioavailability of Vinca rosea alkaloids through the nanovector system, niosomes. Vinca alkaloids were extracted, purified, screened and quantified. Niosomal constructs of the alkaloids were made, characterized through scanning electron microscope and ex-vivo studies were carried out using goat intestine. The size of the niosomes was found to be in the range of 400 to 800 nm. Results shows that niosomal formulation can increase bioavailability of Vinca rosea alkaloids two folds compared to the native alkaloid extract.

Published: December 2020

The purpose of this study is to identify the determinant role of emotional intelligence sub-dimensions (evaluation of others' emotions, evaluation of one’s own emotions, regulation of emotions, social skills, use of emotions) in determining the self-efficacy levels of athletes. In addition, emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy levels of the athletes by gender variable were examined within the scope of this study and the results were reported. A total of 261 athletes from different sports (soccer, basketball, handball, volleyball, tennis, wrestling) volunteered to participate in the study with 163 males (57.8), (Xage = 22.36 ± 4.34) and 119 females (42.2), (Xage = 21.08 ± 3.61). Within the scope of the study, information on socio-demographic variables was collected using a personal information form created by the researchers. In the study, "Emotional Intelligence Sports Inventory" which was adapted into Turkish by Adiloğulları and Görgülü (2015), and the "Self-Efficacy Scale" which was adapted into Turkish by Öcel (2002) were used as measurement tools. The skewness and kurtosis values for the total score distribution of the surveys indicated that the distribution was normal. In line with this, descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) were used, and Pearson correlation analyses were completed to determine the relationships between the variables. A stepwise regression analysis was completed to determine the power of independent variables in predicting the dependent variable. According to the findings obtained, it was determined that the emotional intelligence levels of the athletes are important determinants of their self-efficacy levels and the analysis completed in two steps explained approximately 12% of the variance. However, while there was no significant difference in the self-efficacy mean scores by gender, significant differences were found in the emotional intelligence levels of the athletes within the groups.
Semiotic analysis of English books of Punjab Textbook Board (Pakistan) with Gender Lens: Exploring the gender sensitization level of Punjab Textbook Board officers
Authors: Malik Raana
Published: December 2020

Semiotics is visual literacy which is an important aspect of learning process involving various social aspects of a society. Visuals are used dominantly in all books of early learners because it is considered the most efficient way of learning and teaching. Representation of gender through visual literacy is the most current and debatable social issue in the contemporary world. Though in Punjab Textbook Board, the text books of almost all subjects including English textbooks of all classes are supplemented with visuals. English is made a compulsory subject from class 1 till 10 and are always in lime light at international level.  But unfortunately this aspect of gender is being neglected in the English textbooks of Punjab, Pakistan. Interviews were conducted from the officers of textbook board to explore the level of sensitization regarding gender and its representation. These interviews revealed that they are unable to understand the true concept of gender due to which male and female are still presented in stereotypical ways. Through interviews it was seen that this inability of true understanding and representation of gender is due to the officials’ unawareness, cost constraints of management and social norms.

Published: December 2020

General science textbooks due to integrated contents of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and; Earth and Space, need special attention of curriculum developers. The contents in general science textbooks can be evaluated through different methods and curriculum analysis taxonomy (CAT) is one of these. This research paper explores the contents of general science textbook of 8th grade taught in all government schools and in some private schools of Punjab province. The contents of textbook were broken down in term of Piagetian developmental levels by using Curriculum Analysis Taxonomy (CAT). The findings show that majority of contents of General science textbook were at Concrete Operational level while a small number of contents demands Formal Operational level. This uneven distribution of contents at different Piagetian developmental levels were also observed when contents of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and; Earth and Space were separately studied. It is recommended that the distribution of contents should follow model based on Piagetian development levels and the selection of contents should be on the basis of breadth and depth of the concepts.

Published: December 2020

The application of constructive geometric modeling to pedagogical models of teaching graphic disciplines today is a promising direction for using computer technology in the educational process of educational institutions.
The essence of the method of constructive geometric modeling is to represent any operation performed on geometric objects in the form of a transformation, as a result of which some constructive connection is established, and the transformation itself can be considered as a result of the action of an abstract cybernetic device.
Constructive geometric modeling is a popular information tool for information processing in various applied areas, however, this tool cannot be appreciated without the presence of appropriate software systems and developed design techniques. Traditionally, constructive geometric modeling is used in the design of mechanical engineering, energy, aircraft and shipbuilding facilities, in architectural and design engineering.
The need to study descriptive geometry at the university in recent years has something in common with the issues of mastering graphic packages of computer programs in the framework of the new discipline "Engineering and Computer Graphics". The well-known KOMPAS software product is considered the simplest and most attractive for training. It should be noted the important role of graphic packages in the teaching of geometric disciplines that require a figurative perception of the material by students. Against the background of a reduction in classroom hours, computer graphics packages are practically the only productive teaching methodology, successfully replacing traditional tools - chalk and blackboard.

The image of the city is a spatio-temporal continuum in which everything is interconnected, it exists as a single monolith expressing itself in the general atmosphere. The visual image of the city may contain two planes of meanings: culturally ratified and universally valid, expressed by cultural codes, and also significant only to those who are viewing the image. Therefore, the content of the visual image depends on who the subject of perception is, what he pays attention to and in what situation the process of perception of the image occurs.

O aprendizado, especialmente na infância, está estreitamente relacionado ao prazer. No decorrer do nosso desenvolvimento, as atividades lúdicas nos fazem aprender de maneira leve e divertida, estimulando memória, interpretação, criatividade, responsabilidade e socialização. A inserção de atividades lúdicas no meio educacional é vista como uma ferramenta para estimular o desenvolvimento integral da criança, transformando o processo de ensino-aprendizado em uma experiência afetiva. Percebe-se cada dia mais como a falta de informação sobre medicamentos, assim como a precariedade da educação em saúde e meio ambiente está afetando o nosso planeta. Então, por que não começar uma mudança com os pequenos? As atividades lúdicas cabem perfeitamente nesse contexto e, aos nossos olhos, é o caminho para criar um mundo melhor.

Выполнена радиально-сдвиговая прокатка заготовок из сплава ВТ-6 с плоскими и профилированными торцами на мини-станах 14-40 и 10-30. Опытные прокатки были смоделированы с помощью вычислительной среды конечно-элементного анализа DEFORM. Перепад значений твёрдости(HV) и интенсивности деформации, как показали исследования, при движении от торца получаемого прутка вдоль его оси существенно меньше при использовании заготовки с профилированными торцами в качестве исходной, чем при использовании заготовки с плоскими торцами.
Numerical analysis of coupled systems of ODEs and applications to enzymatic competitive inhibition by product
Authors: MAİ Vinh , NHAN Thái
Published: December 2020

Enzymatic inhibition is one of the key regulatory mechanisms in cellular metabolism, especially the enzymatic competitive inhibition by product. This inhibition process helps the cell regulate enzymatic activities. In this paper, we derive a mathematical model describing the enzymatic competitive inhibition by product. The model consists of a coupled system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations for the species of interest. Using nondimensionalization analysis, a formula for product formation rate for this mechanism is obtained in a transparent manner. Further analysis for this formula yields qualitative insights into the maximal reaction velocity and apparent Michaelis-Menten constant. Integrating the model numerically, the effects of the model parameters on the model output are also investigated. Finally, a potential application of the model to realistic enzymes is briefly discussed.

Activity Recognition using STLBPs
Authors: Khan Jawad
Published: December 2020

Activity recognition is a topic undergoing massive research in the field of computer vision. Applications of activity recognition include sports summaries, human-computer interaction, violence detection, surveillance etc. In this paper, we propose the modification of the standard local binary patterns descriptor to obtain a concatenated histogram of lower dimensions. This helps to encode the spatial and temporal information of various actions happening in a frame. This method helps to overcome the dimensionality problem that occurs with LBP and the results show that the proposed method performed comparably with state of the art methods.

Published: December 2020

Oil and gas production using formation thermal stimulation or treatment represents one of the main enhanced oil recovery methods. In this study the thermal properties of rocks and their relationship to the nature of rock saturation were investigated.The method, experimental setup, and results of studying the thermal characteristics of fine - and medium-grained highly porous sandstones at their different saturation are presented. The highest values of thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity and heat capacity correspond to water-saturated samples, smaller values correspond to oil-saturated ones and the lowest values corresponds to dry (extracted) samples. The obtained data can be used in the selection of the technology of thermal formation stimulation on the reservoir and control over the process of oil field development.
The psychology of money (annotated reading list)
Authors: Bijleveld Erik , Schäfer Lena , Rusz Dorottya
Published: December 2020

Here we provide an annotated reading list that covers the psychology of money. Around 10,000 years ago, several communities around the world transitioned from a hunter–gatherer lifestyle into an agricultural one. Along with this lifestyle transition, communities evolved the desire to efficiently store and exchange value. Thus, people invented money, and by now, money plays an important role in most people’s lives. In this article, we provide a broad overview of the psychological literature on money. In particular, we point the reader to research that addresses the following questions: When and how does money motivate human behaviour? When and how does money distract people from working? How does money acquire cultural associations? How do these cultural associations manifest themselves on the behavioural level? How do young children and older adults process money? How does spending money affect people’s feelings? What are the psychological consequences of being wealthy vs. poor? What is the nature of money-related problematic behaviours, such as compulsive spending and pathological gambling? To answer these questions, we mainly highlight classic and recent psychological research, but we also discuss insights from economics, neuroscience and anthropology.
Do graded representations support abstract thought?
Authors: Carstensen Alexandra , Frank Michael C.
Published: December 2020

Relational reasoning requires the reasoner to go beyond her/his specific experience, abstracting from items to make inferences about categories and kinds on the basis of structural or analogical similarities. Reasoning about the relations same and different is one of the best-studied cases of relational reasoning, both across species and over human development, and has become a paradigm case study for abstract representation. However, decades of careful study have nonetheless produced seemingly contradictory findings — with surprising successes and puzzling failures — in both the comparative and developmental literatures. In this article, we review these literatures and suggest first steps toward a reconciliation of these contradictions by suggesting that same-different reasoning is supported by graded representations.
Musical Engagement and Parent-Child Attachment in Families with Young Children During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Steinberg Selena , Liu Talia , Lense Miriam D
Published: December 2020

The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the lives of families in the United States and across the world, impacting parent mental health and stress, and in turn, the parent-child relationship. Music is a common parent-child activity and has been found to positively impact relationships, but little is known about music’s role in parent-child interactions during a pandemic. The current study utilized an online questionnaire to assess the use of music in the home of young children and their parents in the USA and Canada during Covid-19 and its relationship with parents’ affective attachment with their child. Musical activity was high for both parents and children. Parents reported using music for both emotion regulation and to socially connect with their children. Parent-child musical engagement was associated with parent-child attachment, controlling for relevant parent variables including parent distress, efficacy, education and parent-child engagement in non-musical activities. These results indicate that music may be an effective tool for building and maintaining parent-child relationships during a period of uncertainty and change.
