Published: May 2022

Göç kavramı, insanlık tarihi içerisinde sürekli olarak karşılaşılan kavramlardan birini oluşturmaktadır. Yapılan göçler konusunda Türkiye de önemli bir konumda yer almaktadır. Dolayısıyla Türkiye’de birçok etnik grup yaşamakta ve Kırgızlar da bu etnik gruplar arasındaki yer almaktadır. Kırgızlar çeşitli şehirlerde yaşamlarını sürdürse de bu çalışmada Antalya’da yaşayan Kırgız kadınlarına odaklanılmıştır. Çalışmanın genel çerçevesini göç olgusu oluşturmakta ve göçmenlerin göç ettikleri ülkedeki gündelik hayat pratikleri dikkate alınmaktadır. Diğer bir ifadeyle göç ve gündelik hayat arasındaki ilişki incelenmektedir. Yapılan çalışma nitel bir araştırma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Araştırma sırasında 7 görüşmeci ile derinlemesine görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiş ve görüşmecilere yarı yapılandırılmış sorular yöneltilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler ise tematik kodlama ve içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Bulgular ekonomi, dil, yeme-içme biçimleri, sosyal çevre ve kamusal alan başlıkları altında toplanarak Michel De Certeau’nun “strateji” ile “taktik” kavramları kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ekonomik anlamda hakim kültüre uyum sağlayarak strateji geliştirmedikleri, dil öğrenme hususunda direniş göstermeyerek hakim dili öğrendikleri, bilinen dilleri avantaja çevirdikleri, yeme-içme biçimlerinde yemekleri düzenleyerek yeniden ürettikleri, bir kısım katılımcının hakim kültürün yemeklerine alışmakta zorlanmadığı, katılımcıların sosyal çevrelerini ilk zamanlarda oluşturmasının zor olduğu fakat sonrasında kendi sosyal çevresini oluşturduğu, kamusal alanda özellikle çalışma hayatı içerisinde hakim kültüre bağlı kaldıkları, ötekileştirmeyle karşılaştıklarında aynılık vurgusu yaptıkları ve bu vurguya rağmen kendi ırklarının daha üstün olduğunun belirtildiği görülmüştür.

Authors: ŞAHİN Oya Irmak , AKPINAR BAYİZİT Arzu
Published: May 2022

Spirulina is of the worldwide cultivated and consumed microalgae. It is generally used directly or as an additive in the food industry due to its high protein content. Besides the high protein content, Spirulina biomass contains important fatty acids, (e.g. GLA), vitamins, minerals and other bioactive compounds. These important compounds are affected by the parameters of biomass cultivation. In the presented study, the limitation of nitrogen (25%, 50%, 75% and 100% N concentration) and temperature fluctuations (25°C and 30°C) on Spirulina platensis biomass yield, lipids and fatty acid profile were investigated with the comparison of Spirulina medium and Zarrouk medium. In the present investigation, the production of Spirulina platensis was optimized in terms of biomass and metabolites. With the increase in temperature, while the amount of biomass increased in general, dry weight decreased. The highest level of lipid accumulation was determined as 12.31 ± 1.72 % for the sample 25°C, Spirulina medium and 50% N concentration. Protein, lipid, total phenolic substance, and total carotenoid amounts were found at the highest level with the temperature increase to 30°C in all samples except the sample with the highest oil content. Consequently, the highest PUFA values were found in 30°C, Zarrouk medium and 75% N concentration as 42.610%, whereas GLA was 25°C, Zarrouk medium and 100% N concentration as 24.735%. On the other hand, GLA values were determined significantly high both during growth at 25°C and 30°C in Zarrouk medium.
PLANNING FOR COASTAL COMMUNITY CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION: AN ECOSYSTEMS-BASED APPROACH
Authors: Celeste Novlloyd , Malabarbas Gerald
Published: May 2022

Adaptation to climate change is seen as the immediate response of people anywhere in the world. However, there is still a problem in its implementation as no solution fits all problems. Coastal communities’ vulnerable situation is not exempted from climate change impacts, but the fact that it has numerous ecosystems provide basic life support. Thus, this paper is guided by the following objectives 1) determine ecosystems and socioeconomic sectors reliant and dependent on strategies and policies of coastal communities; and 2) examine the current adaptation strategies and activities. Focus group discussions among key officials and document analysis were carried on. After a rigorous examination, it was discovered that coastal communities are reliant on fishery and water resources ecosystem services. In this regard, adaptation options are geared toward the protection of these services to continually provide to local communities. Alternative livelihoods are also seen as a long-term response to climate change adaptation apart from policy and ordinances to protect and conserve the ecosystems.

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a common opportunistic microorganism and an important respiratory pathogen in cystic fibrosis (CF). The aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial resistance phenotypes, sequence-types (ST) and genetic determinants of antibiotic resistance in S. maltophilia strains recovered from CF patients in Russia. S. maltophilia isolates recovered from 170 CF patients were analyzed. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of antibacterial agents were determined using Sensititre Gram Negative GNX2F plates and the results were interpreted according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) criteria. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on MGISEQ-2000 platform. SPAdes software, Galaxy, ResFinder, Integrall and PubMLST were used for analysis of WGS data. S. maltophilia strains were identified from 24/170 (14%) CF patients. In total, 25 isolates were detected, two strains were isolated from the same patient. The isolates belonged to 17 different STs, including 5 new STs; ST4 was the most prevalent ST. Resistance to ceftazidime was observed in 60% of strains, to ticarcillin-clavulanate - in 32%, to levofloxacin - in 24%, to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole - in 12% of strains. All isolates were susceptible to minocycline. All ST4 isolates were resistant or intermediate to ceftazidime and ticarcillin-clavulanate. In two isolates, the sul1 gene was detected. In one isolate, sul1 was part of a class 1 integron. The detected integron also contained the blaGES-7 and aac(6’)-Ib-cr genes. The ST4 sequence-type was the most prevalent ST among S. maltophilia strains recovered from CF patients in Russia. Antibiotic resistance genes, including sul1, blaGES-7, aac(6’)-Ib-cr, were detected in single strains.
TUNER-compliant error estimation for MIPAS

Published: May 2022

Abstract. This paper describes the error estimation for temperature and trace gas mixing ratios retrieved from the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) limb emission spectra. The following error sources are taken into account: measurement noise, propagated temperature and pointing noise, uncertainties of the abundances of spectrally interfering species, instrument line shape errors, and spectroscopic data uncertainties in terms of line intensities and broadening coefficients. Furthermore, both the direct impact of volatile as well as persistent gain calibration uncertainties, offset calibration and spectral calibration uncertainties and their impact through propagated calibration-related temperature and pointing uncertainties are considered. An error source specific to the MIPAS upper atmospheric observation mode is the propagation of the smoothing error crosstalk of the combined NO and temperature retrieval. Whenever non-local thermodynamic equilibrium modelling is used in the retrieval, also related kinetic constants and mixing ratios of species involved in the modelling of populations of excitational states contribute to the error budget. Both generalized Gaussian error propagation and perturbation studies are used to estimate the error components. Error correlations are taken into account. Estimated uncertainties are provided for a multitude of atmospheric conditions. Some error sources were found to contribute both to the random and the systematic component of the total estimated error. The sequential nature of the MIPAS retrievals gives rise to entangled errors. These are caused by error sources that affect the uncertainty of the final data product via multiple pathways, i.e., on the one hand directly, and on the other hand via errors caused in a preceding retrieval step. These errors tend to partly compensate each other. The hard-to-quantify effect of the horizontally non-homogeneous atmosphere and unknown error correlations of spectroscopic data are considered as the major limitations of the MIPAS error estimation.
Earth System Model Aerosol–Cloud Diagnostics (ESMAC Diags) package, version 1: assessing E3SM aerosol predictions using aircraft, ship, and surface measurements

Published: May 2022

Abstract. An Earth system model (ESM) aerosol–cloud diagnostics
package is developed to facilitate the routine evaluation of aerosols,
clouds, and aerosol–cloud interactions simulated by the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) from the US Department of
Energy (DOE). The first version
focuses on comparing simulated aerosol properties with aircraft, ship, and
surface measurements, which are mostly measured in situ. The diagnostics
currently cover six field campaigns in four geographical regions: eastern
North Atlantic (ENA), central US (CUS), northeastern Pacific (NEP), and
Southern Ocean (SO). These regions produce frequent liquid- or mixed-phase
clouds, with extensive measurements available from the Atmospheric Radiation
Measurement (ARM) program and other agencies. Various types of diagnostics
and metrics are performed for aerosol number, size distribution, chemical
composition, cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentration, and various meteorological quantities to
assess how well E3SM represents observed aerosol properties across spatial
scales. Overall, E3SM qualitatively reproduces the observed aerosol number
concentration, size distribution, and chemical composition reasonably well,
but it overestimates Aitken-mode aerosols and underestimates accumulation-mode aerosols
over the CUS and ENA regions, suggesting that processes related to particle
growth or coagulation might be too weak in the model. The current version of
E3SM struggles to reproduce the new particle formation events frequently
observed over both the CUS and ENA regions, indicating missing processes in
current parameterizations. The diagnostics package is coded and organized in
a way that can be extended to other field campaign datasets and adapted to
higher-resolution model simulations.
Literary Awards and Creative Writing Schools
Authors: Krauth Nigel
Published: May 2022

Australian tertiary writing schools still need to gain greater acceptance with publishers, critics and the general readership. The writing schools need to publicise their aims and practices. Recent acceptance of student writers to the programs of several national writers festivals has boosted writing schools’ images. The Australian culture is willing to grant significant status to creative writers. Creative writing is one of the nation’s artfully-hidden prime endeavours - an activity seen to contribute massively, though almost secretly, to society’s wellbeing. Even politicians support national and state literary awards as part of the continued building of the nation. But the culture has not heard much about tertiary writing schools’ pedagogies - especially in the context of teaching “aimed at” national literary awards.
A Prospective Observational Study of the Recurrence Characteristics of Hunner Lesion After Repeated Transurethral Ablation in Patients With Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome
Authors: Ko Kwang Jin , Byun Hye Jin , Bang Seokhwan , Lee Kyu-Sung
Published: May 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the rate and pattern of recurrence for patients with Hunner lesion (HL) type interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) after transurethral ablation.Methods: This prospective study included 210 patients with HL type IC/BPS. The primary outcomes were the recurrence rate according to 3 patterns of recurrence: pattern A (according to the relationship with the previous surgical site), pattern B (according to the bladder zone), and pattern C (according to the number of lesions). The secondary outcomes were recurrencefree time after treatment according to pattern A and pattern C.Results: The pattern A recurrence rate was 50.8% in the same site (A1), 6.7% at a new site (A2), and 42.5% at mixed sites (A3). The pattern B recurrence rate was 10.5% for the anterior wall, 59.0% for the posterior wall, 69.5% for the lateral wall, and 69.0% for the dome area. Multiple lesions recurred as multiple lesions in 75.8% of cases. The pattern C recurrence rate was 10.8% for C1 (single → single), 6.7% for C2 (single → multiple), 6.7% for C3 (multiple → single), and 75.8% for C4 (multiple → multiple). The recurrence-free time in pattern A was 13 months for A1, 12.5 months for A2, and 8 months for A3, with a significant difference between A1 and A3 (P=0.008). There was no significant difference in recurrence-free time in pattern C, either with single or multiple HLs.Conclusions: The distinct recurrence characteristics of HLs was not predictable despite repeated ablations. Complete remission should not be expected because the whole bladder was to have the potential to develop the HLs even after repeated transurethral ablation.

Development of agrotourism application in ganja-gazakh economic circle
Authors:   Baku Business University, Azerbaijan, Musayev Jeyhun
Published: May 2022

Azerbaijan has its geographical position, nature, history, and material-moral resources dating back hundreds of years. Therefore, there shouldn’t be any problem for the development of agro tourism. Local citizens should be properly mobilized in this direction, and regional centers should be established for the development of agrarian tourism in each economic region. At the same time, special stimulating credit conditions should be created in the banking sector to build local small agro businesses in the regions. In this regard, the problem of self-financing of the regions will be eliminated and the dependence of the regions on the state budget can be minimized. Tourism is one of the most potentially developing sectors of the non-oil sector in the Republic of Azerbaijan in a modern market economy. Since independence, the state has shown great interest in various areas of tourism in any part of the country, and the geographical location and climate zone of Azerbaijan is suitable for any type of tourism. As the youngest and most developed type of tourism in recent years, it is in the interest of the state in the field of agro-tourism. This type of tourism has been used and developed in many foreign countries for over a century. Ganja-Gazakh economic region, the second largest economic region of Azerbaijan, is suitable for any field of tourism in terms of its economic and geographical location. For this reason, the main purpose of the study is to ensure the application of agritourism in the Ganja-Gazakh economic region and to study the issues of educating the population in this region in the field of tourism.

Staff evaluation and selection involves conducting job- and job-specific analyzes, with the aim of fully and multidimensional describing professional activity and capturing individual tasks at work. Knowing the person, his individual characteristics, establishing a psychological diagnosis is important in order to recruit and employ, promote or reorient a person. The essence of any organization lies in human effort, and its efficiency and effectiveness are largely influenced by the behavior of the people within the organization. Competent, well-organized and motivated employees are a strategic resource and the stake of a company's success.
Bullying
Authors:   Tomis University of Constanta, Romania, Coca Carmen Elena
Published: May 2022

Bullying is a complex and heterogeneous phenomenon that directly affects hundreds of people each year. The importance of the phenomenon has led to several researches in the last two decades, thus being carried out hundreds if not thousands of works on this subject. In research into the psychological effects of bullying, both among adults and children, long-term exposure to abusive, hostile behaviors has been associated with a wide range of adverse health effects, including both psychological and somatic effects. The main impediment in establishing a clear link between bullying and post-traumatic stress is methodological in nature - in order to assess whether bullying actions at school or at work can lead to the installation of symptoms, longitudinal studies with fundamentally representative groups are needed. The level of aggression must be analyzed with the help of valid tools as well as the correlation of factors such as personality, early psychopathology, hereditary disposition, stressors as well as the social support that the subjects benefit from.
Staff evaluation between traditional and modern methods
Authors:   Moscow State University, Russia, Gusev Alexey , Railean Victoria ,   University of European Studies of Moldova
Published: May 2022

At the current stage in the development of science and society, employee evaluation is an objective necessity, but many evaluation methods only allow establishing the presence or absence of certain qualities. This is explained by the subjective nature of the evaluations, because both the evaluator and the evaluated person are people. Therefore, subjective judgments in this case always take place, no matter how much we try to ignore them. In order to determine which job-specific qualities an employee or another possesses, it is necessary to quantify the level of these qualities, by establishing evaluation criteria. Only in this way is it possible to select and place staff correctly, to stimulate their work rationally, and to establish the need for retraining or advanced training. The clarity, accuracy, simplicity of such methods and the objectivity of the conclusions obtained from their application are of decisive importance.
Spectroscopic assessment of the influence of copper loading and gamma-ray irradiation on calcium phosphate bio-relevant glasses
Authors: Ph.D. José A. Jiménez,
Published: May 2022

Calcium phosphate glasses containing copper possess antimicrobial properties and thus have attracted attention for biomedical applications such as tissue engineering [1]. Still, studies incorporating structural, thermal, and optical property evaluations in connection with the oxidation states of copper are scarce. In this work, a comprehensive evaluation was carried out on biologically relevant P2O5-CaO-Na2O-CuO glasses prepared with variable [CuO]/[Na2O] molar ratios by the melt-quenching technique [2]. A structural evaluation was first performed by X-ray diffraction to confirm amorphous nature and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to obtain information about phosphate network characteristics. The thermal properties were then assessed by dilatometry evaluating thermal expansion profiles, followed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the glass transition regime. The optical transmission from the ultraviolet (UV) to the near-infrared (NIR) region was then scrutinized in the context of solid-state physics through Tauc plots (optical band gap analysis) and Urbach plots (band tailing reflecting disorder). The optical appraisal was complemented by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy with emission decay analysis where appropriate. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was ultimately employed to probe oxygen environments and perform Cu+/Cu2+ speciation for further connection with the evaluated properties. In a subsequent stage, the impact of gamma-ray irradiation was assessed for the various glasses through optical transmission and PL spectroscopy [3].
12 Labours Seminar Series (Exemplar Project 1): Pulmonary hypertension
Authors: Tawhai Merryn
Published: May 2022

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a debilitating and progressive disease that can occur idiopathically or secondary to other chronic disease. PH is classified into five groups based on aetiology and mechanisms. In general, it involves progressive remodelling of the pulmonary circulation and right heart, and abnormally high blood pressures. 12 Labours’ Exemplar Project 1 is developing a cardio-respiratory model linked with a whole body circulation model, to simulate pre- and post-capillary PH. The vision is to provide a patient-specific model that is carefully calibrated to clinical imaging and physiological measurements to test potential diagnostic and treatment strategies, but that also reduces to a pragmatic form for real-time whole-body simulations to monitor patient physiological signals in the home. Our initial studies will establish a clinical modelling workflow to evaluate post-treatment cardio-respiratory function in patients for whom surgical treatment is an option. This will provide a proof-of-concept imaging and data to modelling platform that we will extend to other groups of PH.

Published: May 2022

The article clarifies the concept of waste as undesirable residues of substances for which there are no actual and potential uses at the current stage of economic and technological development, and which are planned to be neutralized and disposed of. The principles of managing the use of secondary resources at the present stage are singled out: promoting the increase in the true investment rates of the national economy and increasing the economic efficiency of the enterprise. In order to form a theoretical base in the field of management of the use of secondary resources, the fundamental principles have been determined, which can form the basis for the development of a policy for the management of the use of secondary resources in the Republic of Belarus. Improving the management of the use of secondary resources contributes to the emergence of opportunities for the introduction of new technologies, the development of the intersectoral cooperative potential of the Belarusian economy, which will reduce the consumption of economic resources.

PSO-VFA: A Hybrid Intelligent Algorithm for Coverage Optimization of UAV-Mounted Base Stations
Authors: Xuefeng Chen Xuefeng Chen , Xuefeng Chen Wan Tang , Wan Tang Ximin Yang , Ximin Yang Lingyun Zhou , Lingyun Zhou Liuhuan Li
Published: May 2022

When the number of outdoor wireless users surges and fixed base stations (BSs) can hardly accommodate high-load communication traffic, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) carrying BSs can provide wireless communication services, and the location deployment of the UAV-mounted BSs directly influences the reliability of network communications. For the target area scenario where the UAVs uniformly cover user nodes, we propose a hybrid intelligent coverage algorithm called PSO-VFA to optimize the coverage of a fixed number of UAV-BSs. The PSO-VFA algorithm consists of two phases employing different intelligent algorithms. First, we adopt a particle swarm optimization (PSO) method for a global search of the coverage areas. Then, for local search, a virtual-repulsive-force-based firefly algorithm (VFA) is proposed in this paper to maximize the user coverage. In the VFA algorithm, the users are treated as the objects attracting the UAVs, and the virtual repulsive force is used for UAV location adjustment. Simulation results show that the proposed PSO-VFA hybrid algorithm has faster convergence and significantly increases the communication coverage of UAV-mounted BSs compared with individual intelligent algorithms such as VFA, PSO, genetic algorithm (GA), and simulated annealing (SA).

Authors: Xiao-Han Chen Xiao-Han Chen , Xiao-Han Chen Zhao Li
Published: May 2022

Visibility is one of the most important factors of meteorological observation. Low visibility caused by fog often has a great impact on human production and daily life. Therefore, visibility measurements and warnings are given as early as possible to avoid accidents. This paper proposes a new visibility measuring method based on dark channel characteristics of digital images in natural scenes. It uses the means of dark channel values obtained from foggy images and high visibility reference images as inputs of a deep fully connected neural network, and then the trained model is applied to estimate visibility. Experiments conducted on a dataset contained two foggy scenes. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method for daytime visibility measurement. At the same time, this paper proposes and designs an automatic detection system based on our algorithm. It implements the real time visibility measuring through edge computing.

 
Förändring och kontinuitet: Reformer inom högre utbildning och forskning 1940–2020
Authors: Gribbe Johan
Published: May 2022

De senaste åttio åren har den svenska universitets- och högskolesektorn genomgått stora förändringar. Förutsättningarna för att bedriva högre utbildning och forskning har ändrats i grunden. Universitet och högskolor har utvecklats från smala elitinstitutioner till att utbilda stora delar av befolkningen och har alltmer tilldragit sig politikens intresse. De finns i hela landet och har successivt tilldelats allt större resurser och ansvar. Huvuddelen av den offentligt finansierade forskningen bedrivs idag vid landets lärosäten. Samtidigt har sektorns utveckling kännetecknats av en betydande kontinuitet. Det är omöjligt att förstå strukturen hos dagens svenska högskolelandskap utan att ta hänsyn till universitetens och högskolornas bakgrund och historiska utveckling. Den här rapporten behandlar utvecklingen under perioden 1940–2020. Utgångspunkten är statens reformer inom högre utbildning och forskning. Det handlar både om breda, övergripande reformer som berört stora delar av verksamheten vid universitet och högskolor i ett sammanhang och om den kontinuerliga anpassningen av bestämmelser och system. Syftet är att teckna en översiktlig bild av utvecklingen av den moderna svenska högskolan. Rapporten vänder sig i första hand till verksamma vid lärosäten och myndigheter, men också till politiker och personer ur den intresserade allmänheten som vill veta mer om bakgrunden till dagens universitets- och högskolesystem och varför det ser ut som det gör. Rapporten har tagits fram av Universitetskanslersämbetet, som ett led i uppdraget att följa utvecklingen inom svensk högre utbildning och forskning. Universitetskanslersämbetet publicerar dessutom årligen aktuell statistik om den svenska högskolan och ett stort antal rapporter på olika teman.

District heating distribution grid costs: a comparison of two approaches
Authors: Fallahnejad Mostafa , Kranzl Lukas , Hummel Marcus
Published: May 2022

Since the introduction of the effective width concept for the estimation of the linear heat density, it has been frequently used by researchers to calculate district heating distribution grid costs in pre-feasibility phases. Some researchers however, still prefer using a detailed modelling approach to get reliable results. This paper aims at highlighting advantages, disadvantages and challenges of using effective width concept for calculation of district heating distribution grid costs in comparison to a detailed, optimisation-based modelling approach such as DHMIN. The outcomes of this paper reveal that although there are differences in obtained indicators such as trench length or distribution gird costs, both approaches deliver very similar patterns in different areas with various heat demand densities and plot ratios. Furthermore, it was revealed that for getting reliable results for a given case study, the input parameters and cost components should always be tuned to that case study regardless of the approach that is used.
Major clinical findings of β-alanine in sports performance: a systematic review
Authors: Woitas Leandro Reis , Ribas José Wilson
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Dietary supplements offer ergogenic aid in an attempt to increase energy, improve recovery and modulate body composition, enabling improved performance. Thus, β-alanine is a substrate of carnosine and is becoming an ergogenic aid for sports performance. Objective: To carry out a systematic review to highlight the main scientific evidence on the improvement of sports performance with the use of β-alanine. Methods: The PRISMA Platform rules were used. The research was developed using the SCOPUS, PUBMED, and SCIENCE DIRECT databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: Studies have shown that β-alanine has an important ergogenic role in sports performance. Weeks of beta-alanine supplementation (4-6g per day) significantly increases muscle carnosine concentrations. The only side effect reported is paresthesia. Beta-alanine attenuates neuromuscular fatigue, particularly in older individuals. Also, combining beta-alanine with other supplements can be advantageous when beta-alanine supplementation is high enough (4-6 g per day) and long enough (minimum 4 weeks).
Lifestyle under the light of nutrological and psychological aspects in the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic review
Authors: Lorena Gigli
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Due to the emergence of the new coronavirus (whose disease is COVID-19), in 2020 the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Preventive measures can radically change individuals' daily habits, including lifestyle-related behaviors. Sedentary behavior, anxiety, and boredom caused by home confinement can influence motivation to eat and change lifestyle patterns. Objective: To carry out a systematic review on the impacts of COVID-19 on people's diet and lifestyle, as well as to point out the main dietary and lifestyle precautions during and after the new coronavirus pandemic, based on the results of clinical studies. Methods: The rules of the Systematic Review-PRISMA Platform were followed. The search was carried out from December 2021 to April 2022 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: Were found 264 articles. A total of 116 articles were fully evaluated and 34 studies were developed in a systematic review. There is scientific evidence that foods/nutrients and natural substances from human physiology and biochemistry such as melatonin and coenzyme Q10 control immune system functions, and many metabolic or chronic diseases have been implicated in poor diet and lifestyle. The results of the pandemic indicate there have been a variety of lifestyle changes, physical inactivity, and psychological problems. Still, adults over 40 years old, with children, unemployed, and those living in a macroeconomic region were shown to be more exposed to unhealthy behaviors. Maintaining dietary intervention through telemedicine can reduce the negative impact of eating habits and physical activity patterns.

What Determines Cash Holding of Listed Deposit Money Banks? Evidence from Nigeria
Authors: Anwuli Gladys Nwokoye
Published: May 2022

The study examined the determinants of cash holdings by 12 deposit money banks in Nigeria using data that covered the 2008-2020 sample period. Panel data was sourced from the Nigerian Stock Exchange fact book, Annual financial statements, and cash flow reports of the selected banks. Econometric tools were employed to analyze such variables of interest as return on assets, asset tangibility, leverage, bank size and volume of deposits to assets. The empirical findings revealed that asset tangibility is a negative and an 'important factor in the determination of cash holding behaviour of deposit money banks in Nigeria. Return on assets does not have any significant relationship with cash holding; leverage has an insignificant positive impact on cash holdings; bank size has an insignificant negative relationship with cash holding; and volume of deposits to assets has a weak negative impact on deposit money banks’ cash holding behaviour. The empirical outcome calls for stringent cash holding policies which ensures that as a bank increases its cash holding, it will in turn enhance the overall performance of the bank. Also, since asset tangibility is found to be major determinant of banks cash holding behavior, it follows that banks should hold more cash in order to increase tangible assets. Thus, there is need for a policy framework that will ensure that as bank increases its cash holding, its corresponding tangible assets would also be enhanced.
